Chapter 324： don't be a fool

Chapter 324 Don't be a fool

Ling'er went to the cabinet and put some of her treasured jewelry, all of which were new, on the kang table.

"Sister-in-law, we met in a hurry last time, but this time I'm prepared, and I'll give it to you."

Jiamei swallowed her saliva looking at the jewelry, "These are too precious, why don't you keep them as a dowry?"

"My mother will prepare it for me when the time comes. This is a little wish from my sister-in-law. You must keep it?"

"Then, thank you sister-in-law."

"That's right, we will be a family in the future, so we don't need to be polite to my sister-in-law."

Jiamei was a little embarrassed. When she came, the gifts she brought were all prepared by her concubine.

Seeing her future sister-in-law treat her so kindly and kindly, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.

When she said goodbye to Qiao Mai, she didn't expect that there were a lot of gifts prepared here, some specially for her, some for her mother and concubine, some special snacks from Qiaoji snack shop, and various fruits , a whole two cartloads of gifts.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm embarrassed by so many presents."

"My family can bring it for you. Without you, even if you force me to take it out, I can't take it out. Take it, don't be polite."

Jia Mei hurriedly saluted the two, then got into the carriage and returned to the palace with two carts of gifts.

In the Auspicious Palace, the imperial concubine is waiting for her daughter. She believes that based on her usual teachings to children, Jiamei will never embarrass her.

Sure enough, when her daughter came back with two carts of gifts, she knew that the Qiao family loved her daughter very much, otherwise why would she bring so many gifts.

"How about going to Qiao's house?"

Thinking of the advice of her future mother-in-law, she smiled at the imperial concubine.

"It's okay, come here, move those things into the house quickly."

Jia Mei looked at those gifts and asked people to put all the precious ones on the table.

"Concubine Mu, my aunt asked me to give you these. These are for my daughter. The ones on the ground are snacks and various fruits. They said that we should try something new."

"I heard that the food at Qiaoji Snack Shop is very popular?"

"Yes, that is, you can't leave the palace, otherwise, my daughter will definitely take you to taste it, but it doesn't matter, my daughter will bring you back whatever you want to eat when she leaves the palace."

At this moment, a voice came in from outside: "Who said you can't go out of the palace, next time I go out in Weifu, I must take your mother with me,"

It turned out that after the emperor woke up, he was very annoyed by what happened last night, so he strolled to the Xiangrui Palace.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

The mother and daughter hurriedly saluted the emperor. The emperor sat directly at the table, and he pointed with his finger.

"Jiamei, are these given to you by the Qiao family?"

"Yes, Erchen was invited by Aunt Qiao to visit Qiao's house this morning."

"Well, let alone, this lady Qiao is very good at business, and gave your mother and concubine a set of priceless jewelry last night. You went today, and you didn't let you go back empty-handed."

"How much does it cost back and forth, and she has to prepare a bride price for Jiamei."

"She has a lot of silver. After driving away those two unconscionable adopted sons, she returned more than one million silver at once. Not to mention, her snack shop and the property in Shexian County cost hundreds of thousands of taels a year. In terms of money, she is a rich woman, she is not short of money, if you give it, you want it, if you don't, you are a fool."

"Daddy, the Qiao family has given you a lot of rare fruits, how many should I pick for you to try?"

"Okay, have you tried it at Joe's?"

"Yes, they are all delicious."

"Can her family sell the bad food, haha!"

While Jiamei was holding the fruit, the imperial concubine opened her mouth and finally asked.

"Your majesty, my concubine knows that you are upset, so I shouldn't ask but I still want to ask, how are the empress and Princess Yihe?"

"It's undergoing diagnosis and treatment, and it may not be cured in a while. I came here to ask you, how about leaving the harem to you?"

"The concubine is naturally willing to help the emperor share the burden, but you also know that the concubine has never asked about the affairs of the harem, and is not very familiar with managing the harem. If someone in the palace has this ability, it is better to let that person take care of it."

"You, your temper is always like this, you don't fight or grab,"

"The concubine only hopes that Jiamei will marry a good family, and then live out this life in peace."

"Why don't I think so, but in the emperor's house, there is no real peace and security."

At this time, Jiamei had already served the fruit, "Father, please try this. This is a mango, very sweet but not sour. This is a mangosteen. The white flesh inside is sweeter than this mango."

The old emperor stopped talking to the imperial concubine, and happily took the fruit handed by his daughter and started to eat it.

"Father, you see that you have been promoted to the official position of Master Yuan, and then to the official position of Yuan Haichuan, and you have also conferred a rank on Mrs. Qiao. Last night, Mrs. Qiao gave such a precious gift to the mother and concubine, and today I asked my son to bring it back. Two carts of gifts, do you see?"

"From what you mean, do you want to ask for something for the Qiao family?"

"Father, you forgot that the Qiao family still has a daughter. Those who should be promoted have been promoted, but her daughter is still nothing?"

The emperor was taken aback, "Look at my father, forget about this matter, she is your sister-in-law, and what you bring out is not a joke or a joke."

Jia Mei was overjoyed when she heard that, "Father, why don't you give Qiao Wanling a grade too?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Since Mr. Yuan is a prince with a different surname, is it hereditary?"

"Of course, your future husband will be the prince in the future, and this is worthy of your status."

"Then my future sister-in-law is the princess?"

"It is a must"

"Then give her a title and confirm her status as princess."

"You, you, you don't eat Qiao's food for nothing, you can be considered conscientious, okay, how about I make her the princess of Tianshui?"

"Tianshui, her family used to be in Tianshui Town, and it's good to use the name of the town as a title. Then, Princess Tianshui, my son thanked the emperor on Ling'er's behalf."

"Haha, I will make an order when I get back. Let Eunuch Yu go to Qiao's house to make an order tomorrow, and write down the hereditary inheritance of Wang with different surnames. Are you at ease?"

The mother and daughter knelt in front of her to thank her, and the emperor felt better.

"In a few days, I'll take you to Qiaoji Snack Shop. I haven't tried many of them."

"Father, you don't know, I went to Qiao's house today, and there are many dishes that you have never tasted before."

"What's the matter, with you, I have many reasons to go to his house to eat and drink, haha!"

When the imperial decree arrived at Qiao's house on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the Yuan family took over the order with Ling'er, but Qiao Mai never received the decree. As long as there is an order down to Qiao's house, she will not be at home.

This incident only slightly surprised the people in the capital, and there was nothing more. After all, the emperor preferred the Qiao family, so he gave all the obvious things to the Wang family with a different surname. The little princess and the little prince, there must be of.

It's just a pity, if the two adopted sons don't leave, they can follow along.

Even if they can’t inherit the throne in the end, the emperor will promote them, but now, they are still fourth-rank military generals. No matter how hard the Yue family works for them, the emperor’s hurdle is still there, and the Yue family can’t do anything about it.

Why did the emperor want to block them? Isn't that obvious?

He just saw that these two people were not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to express his anger on behalf of his in-laws, and instead of demoting their posts, he blocked them and refused to promote them.

Jiang Yuanpeng didn't know about this at first, he went out early and returned late every day, and it was Lord Zhen Guo who told him about it.

He was silent after listening with a sullen face. Seeing that the Qiao family was getting better and better, he and his brother stopped here.

I'm really not reconciled, he and his younger brother risked their lives and were torn down from the battlefield, why are they not as good as a scholar?

Now he has long separated himself from the Qiao family, calling Yuan Jiaqi and Yuan Haichuan scholars.

He is no longer the well-behaved boy in the Qiao family. He often curses the Qiao family secretly in his heart, calling Qiao Mai too vicious, and he is too small-minded to tolerate his dead biological parents.

He can only keep these things in his heart and dare not put them on the surface. If people find out, the first person who cannot let him go is Murong.
