Chapter 469 - Borrowing Money
Looking at the prince's undisguised eyes full of calculation, Chu Ao once again felt his scalp tingle.
After so many years of contact with the prince, Chu Ao knew everything about the prince's expression, every action, and what he wanted to express.
Therefore, just the prince's eyes made Chu Ao wonder, was it a wrong decision to come to Xinghui Auction House to participate in the auction today?
Originally, he thought that it would be a good thing for him to participate in the auction with the crown prince today.
When he wants to buy something, others will inevitably give him courtesy because of his relationship with the prince.
Perhaps, he will be able to buy something that is worth his weight at a very low price.
After all, the marriage contract between his daughter and the crown prince is already known to everyone in the White Tiger Country!
Others are hindered by this relationship, even if they give the prince face, they have to be polite to him.
But now it seems that not only will this not be the case, but what the prince has done today has made everyone who came to the auction disgusted with him.
So while these people dislike the prince, they naturally hate themselves who have a close relationship with the prince.
Moreover, Chu Ao could feel that some people did not dare to show too much dissatisfaction with him because of the identity of the prince, so they actually vented their opinions about the prince to themselves.
Because he could feel the disdainful gazes that these people were looking at him.
Thinking about it this way, how wronged and innocent he was!
That's it, now the prince has actually calculated on him!!
At this time, Chu Ao was in pain as if he was burning all over his body, and he was stared at by the prince's terrible eyes.
The feeling of such physical and mental torture made his heart burst into a very broken pain.
In fact, Chu Ao, who had already regretted being so close to the prince at this time, wanted to walk away directly and keep his distance from the prince......
But in the current situation, he had to follow the prince's words and ask, "Oh? I don't know what can make the old minister serve the prince, the old minister listens to him, as long as the old minister can do it, he will definitely do his best to get things done for the prince. ”
Chu Ao actually had a heart in his words, he was afraid that the prince would make some excessive demands, so he expressed "sincerely", as long as I can do it, I will work hard to do it for you.
Of course, if I can't do it, there's nothing I can do......
It's just that Chu Ao didn't dare to say the latter sentence directly, so he could only vaguely let the prince understand it himself!
However, I don't know if I didn't understand it or the prince pretended not to understand and completely ignored Chu Ao's words.
He raised his eyebrows, patted Chu Ao's shoulder and said, "Okay!" With Aiqing's words, the palace is much more relieved, since this is the case, the palace will also say directly, when I left the palace today, I was in a hurry, and the money on the palace was a little insufficient, I don't know if Aiqing, can you borrow some money from the palace to solve the urgent need? Aiqing rest assured, when the palace returns to the palace to show her father and mother, she will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible! ”
After the prince finished speaking, he also showed a look that he thought was extremely sincere.
But Chu Ao, an old and cunning guy, looked at the prince's expression, and instantly completely understood the calculation in the prince's heart.
Borrow money?
Didn't bring enough money when you left the palace in a hurry?
Who to fool!
Is he really a fool?
Such an excuse will not be believed even if you deceive a three-year-old child.
In other words, the prince just found out that he didn't dare to offend him or refuse him, so he just found an excuse casually.
I haven't brought enough money yet......
Such a clumsy excuse, I'm afraid that only the prince can think of it.
I thought about it with my toes, such an important event today, I didn't have enough money when I left the palace, unless the prince's brain also fell into the palace, otherwise he wouldn't believe such a statement!
Besides, even if the money is really left in the palace, the prince can send someone back to the palace to get it, so why bother to borrow money from him.
Isn't it ridiculous that the dignified prince wants to borrow money from officials to buy things?
What made Chu Ao feel speechless the most was that the prince actually said that he had borrowed money to show his father and queen mother......
Listening to the prince's meaning, the prince asked the emperor and queen to return the money he borrowed?
Could it be that if the prince doesn't pay back the money he lent to the prince, he will ask the emperor and queen to ask for it?
Ask the emperor and empress for debts......
Do you think your neck is too stiff, or is the head on his neck really worthless, isn't it?
I've never heard of a courtier going to the emperor and queen to collect debts!
Speaking of which, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
At that time, he will only have to eat this dumb loss by himself!!
What's more, the most important thing is how much money does he have for a month?
If he really lent the money to the crown prince so that the emperor would know, wouldn't the emperor wonder where his money came from?
Even if the emperor was extremely disgusted with his father, he united with the mysterious person who appeared out of nowhere to poison his father, and the unsightly means including his sale of his father's property and the property he had looted from the general's mansion for so many years still couldn't let the emperor know!
Chu Ao knew too well the suspicious character of the current emperor, if he knew what he was doing, he would definitely feel that he was a cunning person and would be more wary of himself.
In that case, the emperor could not trust and he had no real power in his hands, and his father was poisoned by his own hands, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
In this way, he will lose his use value with the prince!
To put it bluntly, his career is ruined!
Whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, they will definitely abandon him without hesitation......
So if he really lent money to the prince, I'm afraid that it would be a meat bun beating a dog!
And the question is, even if he lends the money to the prince now, what will he do when he encounters what he wants to buy later?
Didn't he come today just to attend the auction and buy some rare treasures?
Such a rare event, he didn't dare to think that he would have the opportunity to participate in it on weekdays.
It's finally come this time, and he can't give up this hard-won opportunity to participate in the auction for the sake of the prince, and finally go back empty-handed, right?
Therefore, I have to say that the prince asked him to borrow money in the past, how to deal with the past, it really stumped him!
The most annoying thing is that if he uses the excuse of not having any money on hand or conceals the true amount and does not lend it to the prince, he will still not be able to participate in the subsequent auctions!
Otherwise, if the prince knew that he had money to buy things and did not lend him anything, the prince would be furious and think that he was making fun of him.
So what's the use of him keeping the money but not spending it?
What made Chu Ao feel the most annoying was that it was possible that the prince didn't know what he came to Xinghui Auction House for today?
