Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 161 Meeting The Emperor? !

Gu Zijin on the bed shyly pulled on his clothes, quickly tied them up, and secretly glanced at Gu Chen not far away from the corner of his eye.

How embarrassing!

Why did Ninth Brother come here at this time?

It seems that she is still not used to being outside. Next time when Miss Jiang treats herself, it would be better to invite her to the palace.

Noticing Gu Zijin's cautious gaze, Gu Chen looked up at her and asked with a smile: "Zijin, are you feeling better? Is Miss Jiang's treatment effective?"

Gu Zijin's face was slightly red and he nodded obediently, "Okay, it's better."

"That's fine."

Seeing that Gu Zijin's health had improved, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Jiang Anran and asked, "Miss Jiang, please accompany me to the palace this afternoon."

Hearing that Gu Chen was taking him to the palace, Jiang Anran couldn't help but blinked, his eyes full of doubts.

Why go to the palace? !

She is just a concubine from the Duke's palace, and she doesn't know the noble people there?

What is Prince Gu doing this time? !

"Your Highness, why is An Ran going to the palace?" Jiang Heyan next to her asked equally puzzled.

Gu Chen looked at the two girls with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that my father wants to meet Miss Jiang."

"The emperor wants to see me!"

Jiang Anran was stunned.

Damn it!

Can anyone tell me what the hell is this? !

A majestic emperor actually wants to see a commoner girl like him who is doing business? !

"Your Highness, why does Father want to see An Ran..." Jiang Heyan couldn't help but ask.

She was also a little confused.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for my father to know An Ran since he has lived in the palace for a long time.

Why was she suddenly summoned to the palace now? !

Gu Chen smiled and said: "Now a famine has broken out in the Huzhou area. My father is now collecting grain and preparing to transport it to Huzhou. However, General Zhao Tai just took away a large amount of grain from the Northern Expedition not long ago. The current national treasury does not count. There is plenty, so I will stock up on food all over the world..."

He recounted the general story to his children again.

To put it simply, Emperor Wu was in a hurry to find food, and then Gu Chen took the initiative to push Jiang Anran out, letting Emperor Wu know that this young lady from the Duke's Mansion had already started helping to hoard food when she came to Beijing from Mobei.

"Prince Gu, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me! Wouldn't it be better for me to just watch over the world?!"

After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Jiang Anran felt like crying.

Who is the emperor? !

He is the common master of the world and the most respected person in the world.

She is a bit of a social jerk. If she says something unpleasant later, the other party might chop off her head...

Moreover, as an exquisite single aristocrat, she only wanted to show off and never wanted to climb up.

Seeing Jiang Anran's frowning face, Gu Chen pretended to be confused and asked: "What? You don't want to see my father?"

nonsense!

She is not an official, so she has nothing to do with the emperor.

However, she only dared to complain in her heart, and finally had to accept this fact.

After all, the emperor himself said that he wanted to see her, so there was no reason for a little girl like her to disobey orders.

well!

I was really hurt by this guy, Prince Gu.

It seems that I have to stay away from him in the future to avoid getting myself involved again.

Seeing Jiang Anran's grimace, Gu Chen smiled and joked: "Don't worry, my father is not as scary as you think, and I will be there when the time comes."

Gu Zijin also walked out at this time and said seriously: "Sister An Ran, my father is a very nice person. If it doesn't work out, I can accompany you there."

"Really? Your Highness, you are so kind."

As soon as he heard that Gu Zijin was willing to accompany him, Jiang Anran immediately hugged himself excitedly and put his head on the other person's chest.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is not only cute, but also so kind. She really cried to death!

He is completely different from some bastard princes.

"Sister An Ran, don't be so rude, I...I'm a little...scared!"

Feeling something strange coming from his chest, Gu Zijin blushed and reminded him quickly.

Jiang Anran was stunned, and then realized that he was a little rude. He quickly let go of his hands and took a step back, "Your Highness, um... I'm sorry, I was too excited just now!"

Gu Zijin calmed down angrily and replied softly: "No, it's okay."

Seeing the two of them having fun with each other, Gu Chen was speechless.

Didn't he just say that he would go with her?

Why didn't she look excited at all?

But as soon as Zijin opened his mouth, the woman's whole person changed.

....

Nangong Yue strode into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then walked towards Nangong Jue, "Grandpa, did you ask me to come over?"

"Sit down first!" Nangong Jue glanced at Nangong Yue and pointed to the seat next to him.

"good."

Nangong Yue nodded and sat down.

After the other party sat down, Nangong Jue asked: "Yue'er, do you know about the famine in Huzhou?"

"I heard that. I also heard that grandpa, you all took the lead in donating food."

When the matter of food was mentioned, Nangong Jue's originally calm face immediately revealed a hint of anger, "It wasn't because Prince Zhuang took the lead in donating four hundred shi of food that we didn't have any steps to go down."

Nangong Yue said: "Prince Yun's Mansion has also heard that almost all the first-grade official families donated 500 shi, Prince Zhuang 400 shi, the other princes donated 300 shi, and the subsequent officials..."

Nangong Jue complained: "If it weren't for Prince Zhuang, the Duke's Mansion, and the Xiao family taking the lead, other officials wouldn't have donated so much!"

One kilogram of grain costs fifteen cents, one stone (120 kilograms) of grain costs about two taels of silver, and five hundred stones of grain costs one hundred taels of gold.

How could he not feel heartbroken when he lost one hundred taels of gold for no reason like this.

"Grandpa, did you ask me to come here today?"

Facing Nangong Yue's inquiry, Nangong Jue calmed down again and said calmly: "Your uncle has gone to the north now, otherwise I wouldn't call you for this matter."

"Now there is a famine in Huzhou, and food is extremely scarce. This situation has begun to radiate to surrounding cities. Food prices in various places continue to rise, many times higher than usual. Grandpa has been an official for so many years, and he has kept a lot of money in his hands. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to sell our grain, we will be able to exchange it for a lot of gold and silver."

"Yue'er, you have been interested in business since you were a child, and you even run Xiankeju in Kyoto. So, grandpa hopes that you can help me with this."

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, if His Majesty discovers this matter, he will definitely..."

Before Nangong Yue could finish speaking, Nangong Jue immediately interrupted: "Don't worry, officials who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune don't know about our Prime Minister's Office. Officials in the court who have ever committed corruption and bribery will almost always take advantage of this." This is an opportunity to help sell off the food that my family has hoarded."
