Just when Xiao Muchan was immersed in his pride, a guard hurried in from outside.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun from the Ministry of War request an audience."
Xiao Muhan frowned slightly, "What are they doing here?"
The minor officials in the Ministry of War were not within his scope of summons.
"Your Highness, I heard they said they have something important to report, and it seems...it's related to Miss Xu."
Xiao Muchan's face darkened. This time, he remembered that Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun were Xu Wanqing's uncles.
"Let them in!"
"yes!"
Soon, Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun came in led by their attendants.
As soon as he saw the prince sitting in front of the desk, he knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Zhao Mingde, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
"Your Highness, Zhao Mingshun, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
Xiao Muhan opened his mouth calmly: "What do you want to see me about?"
Hearing this, Zhao Mingde quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, my sister has asked me and my brother to meet the Crown Prince. She has something important to report."
Xiao Muchan frowned impatiently, and his tone became much stiffer. "Go ahead."
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, my niece has a treasure in her hands. According to my sister, this treasure can be used by His Royal Highness, so I have come here to report it."
"I already knew this, but where is this treasure?"
This is what he cares about most. If it weren't for this, he would have no intention of having anything to do with a family like the Xu family.
You know, Old Master Xu saved the emperor's grandfather in the past. The emperor was grateful for his life-saving grace and, seeing that he had some talent, made him the grand tutor.
However, in the end, every move of Old Master Xu and Xu Maocai was under the surveillance of the royal family, and they had no chance of becoming the only one in power and developing their own faction.
Now that the emperor has passed away, the Xu family’s favor is naturally gone.
Xiao Muchan still doesn't care about the Xu family, which has no support at all.
As for the Lin family, they are obviously extremely powerful, but all they have eyes for is Xiao Jingming.
In that case, let them go to hell together.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muchan's face became more vicious.
Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun shuddered when they saw this, wondering which words had upset the prince.
"Reply, reply to Your Highness, this thing is in the hands of your niece Wanqing."
Zhao Mingde lay on the ground, no longer daring to look the prince in the eye.
Xiao Muchan felt disgusted. "Where is Xu Wanqing? As far as I know, today is Xu Wanqing's wedding day."
"Yes, yes, no, no, no, that's not right. Wanqing is not married."
"Not married?"
Now it was Xiao Muhan's turn to be surprised. He stood up, walked directly to Zhao Mingde's side, and said sternly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Reply, reply to His Royal Highness, a maid from the Xu family is getting married today. My niece is not married yet. She left the Xu family with her treasure and is waiting to be summoned by the Crown Prince."
Xiao Muhan was overjoyed. So that's what was happening.
"Are you sure she has it?"
Zhao Mingde kowtowed quickly, "Your words are absolutely true. Wanqing has been properly taken care of by my brother and I, and we are only waiting to be summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"well."
Xiao Muchan was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Go tell your sister and Xu Wanqing that I will meet her at midnight."
Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun were overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Highness. We obey your orders!"
"Go back!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
When they walked out of the palace, Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
"Brother, are we going to send it out?"
Zhao Mingshun's face was full of nervousness and excitement.
Zhao Mingde smiled at him and said, "Really? From now on, we should turn a deaf ear to Wanqing's words and never offend her. This girl holds grudges."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."
Zhao Mingde sighed, "What a pity, my brothers and I don't have a daughter. If we did, we wouldn't let that bad girl take away such a good thing."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingshun was also annoyed, and wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet, "Brother, what you said is, this Xu Wanqing is actually separated by a layer of belly."
"Right now, you and I can only rely on her. From now on, just be patient. After all, she has a good life!"
Zhao Mingde nodded, "I'll listen to you, big brother."
"Let's go back and tell my sister and Xu Wanqing about this. We should hurry up and give birth to a daughter. In the future, maybe we can even be the father-in-law of the emperor."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingshun's mouth almost stretched to his ears. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
The two brothers rode their horses at full speed towards Xu's house.
Sure enough, Zhao Yaru was overjoyed when she heard the news, and the gloom of the past few days disappeared at this moment.
"Quick, inform Wanqing and ask her to dress up properly."
Zhao Mingde laughed and said, "Sister, you are looking down on us. We brothers have already arranged everything properly. As long as the prince sees Wanqing, he will be unable to move."
Zhao Yaru could hardly contain her laughter. "You two did the right thing. It's not in vain that I've supported my family all these years. When Wanqing becomes the Crown Princess, you two will naturally not just be small officials in the Ministry of War like you are now."
"Really? To be honest, that's not what we like at all."
Zhao Yaru was puzzled. "Then what do you want to do?"
Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun tilted their heads and thought for a while, then said seriously, "If Wanqing becomes the Crown Princess, let us brothers go to the Ministry of Revenue."
"Ministry of Revenue?"
Zhao Yaru was puzzled.
Zhao Mingshun smiled flatteringly, "Sister, you don't know that the Ministry of Revenue is very profitable. By then, my brothers and the Crown Princess will join forces and become extremely wealthy."
"Really?" Zhao Yaru was a little bit unbelieving.
"Of course it's true. Last time, we were just having dinner with a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue. You don't know how grand his dinner was. It was the envy of us two brothers. By then, let alone the Xu family, you can set up your own business and leave Xu Maocai, that bastard, to be compared with you."
After hearing this, Zhao Yaru completely believed what the brothers said.
"Okay, when this is done, I'll let Wanqing do it for you."
"Okay, thank you in advance."
"You go back first. When night falls, arrange a carriage at the back door. I want to go with you and take a look."
Zhao Mingde looked troubled. "This... isn't good, is it? If the Crown Prince sees this, won't it ruin Wanqing and the others' plans?"
Zhao Yaru shook her head. "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I'm just watching from the sidelines. This must succeed. I can only be assured if I see it with my own eyes."
"Okay, okay, in that case, let's go back and prepare."
After her brother and younger brother left, Zhao Yaru slowly sat down with a smile on her face.
Huang Yueping, Xu Wanyan, you wait...
