Chapter 542 Calculation again
The emperor sighed, "I'm interested, but Yuehua's happiness is more important!"
"Although this child is a little arrogant, I don't want her to marry far away. This girl is not a worry-free person. If she is really sent to the Bear Country, with her temper, she will die without knowing how!"
Prince Yi nodded, "Yuehua is a little willful!"
"But it's not appropriate to refuse outright, unless Yuehua can get married as soon as possible! But there is no suitable partner at the moment?"
Prince Yi said a few more words purely because Princess Yuehua and Yuan Baobao have a good relationship. Otherwise, why would he be too lazy to care about a little princess? In the past, the relationship between the two was not very good.
"Royal brother!"
A figure rushed in, Prince Yi frowned, and the emperor looked over with displeasure.
"Uncle Nine, is the money ready?" Prince Yi smiled faintly. The bet had been concluded for several days, but Prince Jiuxian's money was not ready yet.
Prince Jiuxian choked. He had some money, but if he spent the one million taels, he would be penniless.
"Brother, just now Prince Xiong offered two mines as a betrothal gift. You should have agreed!"
Prince Jiuxian ignored Prince Yi's words and changed the subject.
"I am the emperor of a country. I will never sell my daughter! We don't need those two mines!" The emperor looked serious.
"Brother, those two mines are worth at least two million taels of silver! You shouldn't act on impulse at this moment!"
"Besides, Yuehua is already of marriageable age, and she doesn't have a suitable partner. If she marries to the Bear Country as the Crown Princess, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she will be the Empress, which will also be a good thing for our Daqian Country."
Prince Yi sneered, "Ninth Uncle, do you know how many concubines the Crown Prince has in his harem?"
"She has five or six concubines, and I don't know how many maids she has. With Princess Yuehua's personality, do you think she can survive there?"
The King of Nine Virtues sneered, "She is a princess. Isn't it normal for her to marry a foreign prince when needed? Besides, we can get two mineral veins without any effort. Isn't this a very cost-effective thing for us?"
The King of Yi sneered, "The Ninth Prince has no daughter. Otherwise, it would be just right to let the Ninth Prince's daughter marry a foreign prince! I believe the Ninth Prince will accept it with pleasure!"
The King of Nine Virtues... This King of Yi is crazy. Why is he always going against me today? Besides, even if he has a daughter, she is a county princess, not a princess. Why should he let his daughter do the things that a princess does?
"Royal brother, I think you should still consider this matter!"
The King of Nine Virtues did not want to give up, but the Emperor waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, I will decide on this matter!"
"By the way, many people know about the silver we talked about last time, so you should hand over the money as soon as possible! The national treasury is still waiting for it to be deposited!"
The King of Nine Virtues was almost vomiting blood.
The Emperor was really stingy, isn't it just one million taels of silver? Can't he just pretend he doesn't know?
But... one million taels, he doesn't want to take it!
After the King of Nine Virtues returned, he went to the Prince of Xian's Mansion again.
"Uncle Nine, what's the matter? Did the Emperor agree?"
Yuan Hongxuan was extremely anxious, because this matter involved a mining line? Yuan Hongxuan and the Ninth Prince don't have much silver now. If they can get that vein of minerals, it will be worth at least one million taels.
"The emperor is really old and confused!"
The Ninth Prince clenched his fists. He didn't expect that it was just a joke at the beginning. The people of the Bear Country are so useless. What's more, the emperor actually took it seriously.
And Prince Yi actually dared to ask him for money.
"Uncle Nine, we can delay that matter! However, as for Crown Prince Xiong..."
Yuan Hongxuan's eyes were sinister, "Father has really become confused recently. It is said that the two mines will cost at least three million taels of silver, but Father actually disagrees!"
King Jiuxian sneered, "It's okay if he disagrees! In a few days, he will..."
Yuan Hongxuan sighed, "Uncle Nine, Yuan Baobao is a little weird. I'm worried that she will do something bad!"
King Jiuxian sneered, "Xuan'er, you are getting less and less courageous now. How about the things I asked you to do some time ago?"
"We have already contacted them. My grandfather said that he can gather his former subordinates whenever there is a need!" Yuan Hongxuan clenched his fists. He originally thought that he would never be able to take the throne in this life, but he didn't expect that King Jiuxian would support him and come to him.
"That's good."
"You should also comfort the people of the Leng family. By the way, these four girls are good. Tell Bingtang to arrange for them to come in as soon as possible!" King Jiuxian took out four portraits and handed them to Yuan Hongxuan.
Yuan Hongxuan frowned: "Uncle Jiu, we are now hiring people. Leng Bingtang will definitely be angry when she finds out!"
Although Yuan Hongxuan has King Jiuxian to help him, the power of the Leng family should not be underestimated. How could Leng Bingtang remain indifferent when he took a concubine at this time?
King Jiuxian smiled indifferently: "They are just concubines. If Leng Bingtang can't even tolerate this, she'd better not be the principal wife!"
"Go and tell her about this in person. Let her rest assured that no matter how many women he marries, she will always be the principal wife, and this position will never be given to others!"
Yuan Hongxuan thought so too. With the help of King Jiuxian, after getting the money, he can let his grandfather make some arrangements, and it is possible for him to become the crown prince or even the emperor.
In the future, his status will be invaluable. She should be grateful to Leng Bingtang for being the principal wife and the queen in the future. Besides
, Leng Bingtang's son is also his eldest son.
Yuan Hongxuan will definitely not be like his father and keep dragging his feet on appointing a crown prince. When he ascends the throne, he will determine the crown prince at the first opportunity.
The status of the legitimate son of the empress is invaluable.
"Also, you have few children. After these women enter the mansion, you must pamper them well and let them get pregnant as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry about Leng Bingtang. Her children will always be legitimate sons. The children born by these concubines can only assist the legitimate sons!"
Yuan Hongxuan nodded in agreement. He would never let his son suffer the same hardships he had suffered.
"Ninth Uncle, I understand!"
Yuan Hongxuan went to find Leng Bingtang and told him the decision. Leng Bingtang just smiled faintly: "My lord, as long as you like it!"
"Bingtang, we haven't been together for a long time. I'm coming to accompany you tonight!"
Yuan Hongxuan looked at Leng Bingtang with affection in his eyes. She was his first woman and also his princess.
Later, Liu Fengyao came between them, but didn't that woman die?
Yuan Hongxuan didn't expect that Liu Fengyao would dare to cheat on him. Thinking about it, Leng Bingtang is still the best. She has always been by his side and is devoted to him.
However, what Yuan Hongxuan didn't know was that Leng Bingtang's child was not his own.
Of course, this is all a story for the future!
Yuan Hongxuan said as he stepped forward, hugged Leng Bingtang in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Leng Bingtang didn't expect him to start with her. Her body was stiff and extremely unnatural.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently. The imperial physician told me to take a good rest."
