Chapter 73 Digging up the Imperial Palace

Not only did the Hall of Supreme Harmony cause a commotion, but the other concubines also paid their respects to the Empress and, after a round of weird chit-chatting between the sisters, were also stunned when they left the Qiwu Palace.

A group of concubines randomly called two palace maids to ask about the situation. After learning that Princess Yongning wanted to loosen up the soil in the entire imperial palace, they almost fainted and hurried to their own palaces.

After sending away those goblins who were scheming all day long, Cui Zhaoan had just taken two sips of tea when Nanny Mei came in to report.

"My queen, the princess seems to have gotten into a terrible trouble. You should go and help her, but she is still a child, so you must not get too angry."

After looking at this language art and finding out some things, Cui Zhaoan now realized the power of the people around him.

Knowing her personality, I would have been able to successfully provoke her anger in the past, but this sounded like consolation.

When she really gets angry when she sees someone, and after Ge'er is scolded, Mammy Mei advises her, her daughter's feelings towards her and Mammy Mei will naturally become more and more biased.

"What happened?"

Her speech became very leisurely. As long as no one was killed, she decided not to be anxious anymore.

With her ladylike brain, how could she reach heaven?

Aunt Mei didn't expect the Queen to be so calm today, but she looked like she was no different from usual, so she leaned forward and spoke:

"Your Highness, the princess has summoned all the idle maids and eunuchs in the palace... and they are almost done digging up the entire palace.

You didn’t see that the group of people led by the imperial concubine just now were running so fast, as if there was a hungry wolf chasing them.”

Cui Zhaoan's mouth twitched suddenly.

Compared with the past, this is indeed a big disaster.

However, imagining the concubines rushing back, Cui Zhaoan suddenly smiled. She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Mammy, I see you are old, how can you be so restless?

Since entering the palace, all of these concubines have been delicate and frail, and would fall down easily if they were not careful, and every time they fell into the emperor's arms.

It’s so good now. If you exercise more, you won’t get sick all the time and need the emperor to see you, right?

Besides, if they run around a little more and endure more hardship, they won’t have to gossip in my ear every day.”

"Your Highness is teaching me that I am narrow-minded."

Aunt Mei bowed slightly, her eyes flickering slightly.

Although the Queen's idea was a little strange, it was not surprising.

Which woman doesn't hate a woman who tries every means to steal her husband away from her?

The Queen didn't seem to care on the surface, but she must have been feeling annoyed deep down.

"Let's go see the princess."

Cui Zhaoan finally got up.

The Imperial Palace is a filthy place, and if you dig around inside, you're likely to come across a lot of dirty things.

With Ge'er's temper, if she came across something dirty, she would probably be unable to sleep for days and nights.

"yes."

At this moment, outside the Chaoxia Palace, which is closest to the Guifei Palace, on a long corridor.

Chu Lange imitated what Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong did that day, lying on the reclining chair with tiger skin cushions, wearing the same black sunglasses that she had snatched from Jiang Youning's hands the day before. She didn't have the bamboo tube sweet water to drink, so she leisurely ate the peeled oranges.

There were two little palace maids fanning themselves beside him, and they looked very comfortable.

Seeing everyone in the palace busy, Chu Lange was extremely happy.

Today, she seemed to suddenly understand how great it felt to lie down and watch everyone working hard to earn money for her. This feeling was completely different from digging for treasure on her own, and it seemed to be even more enjoyable.

~~~

The emperor and the empress came here almost one after the other.

When Emperor Wenzong of Chu learned that his daughter dug up treasures in the palace, he cursed all the way.

"How old is she? Has she lost her mind? If there really were treasures for her to dig under the palace, I would have arranged for people to dig them up long ago. Why would I stay here and wait for her?"

"Now she has caused such a scene in the palace, making everyone panic, and even harming me... I don't understand who gave her the courage to make such a big fuss in the palace!"

Chu Wenzong patted the dirt off his dragon robe and felt his buttocks seemed to hurt even more.

The eunuch standing by lowered his head and thought to himself that it was you, Your Majesty, who gave him the courage.

"Princess, the Emperor and His Majesty are here."

As soon as Yuan Ye discovered that the emperor and empress were coming at him from both sides with great force, he quickly warned them.

Chu Lange glanced left and right. Whichever one he went to greet with a smile, the other one would seem unhappy.

then.

She calmly pretended not to see it.

"Chu Lange!!!"

Emperor Wenzong of Chu became even angrier when he saw that his daughter, who usually ran over to him and called him father sweetly, was treating him like air.

"Ge'er."

Cui Zhaoan was much calmer.

When everyone arrived, Chu Lange immediately stood up with a smile on his face to greet them.

"Hey, Ge'er has met the Emperor and Empress, what brought you here?"

"How dare you say that? Who allowed you to dig holes in the palace for no reason? How could it be possible in the palace..."

The emperor paused after saying only half of his words.

Two little eunuchs came over with a box of shiny things, their eyes full of excitement.

"Princess! The servants were digging halfway through the abandoned Chaolu Palace courtyard, but unexpectedly they dug through the ground and found a secret room underneath. There was a lot of gold and silver in the secret room!!!"

"Really?" Chu Lange jumped up instantly, not caring about his parents anymore, "Yuan Ye, quickly confiscate the family property! We're rich!!!"

The emperor and empress who were left behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chu Wenzong had a long face. He glanced at the gold and silver on the ground, which proved to be fake. Then he looked at his daughter's back as she left in a hurry. He felt worse than eating shit.

He looked at Cui Zhaoan, his eyes full of grievance: "Empress, can we really dig up treasures in the palace?"
