Chapter 186 The Emperor is Really Going to Die

"You're only fifteen, why are you in such a hurry? Both of your sisters got married at the age of eighteen or nineteen. You can save up enough for your dowry."

"Saving? How much can you save in three or four years? Considering how timid you are now, I'm afraid that by the time I get married, you won't even get one tenth of my elder and second sisters' dowries."

When she thought about how little dowry she would get when she married the man she loved, not even a fraction of what her elder and second sisters got, her face became extremely ugly.

Zhu Yuanyuan has never suffered any grievances in her life. How can she accept such a great grievance when she gets married?

What's more, she is going to marry a man of such noble status. If her dowry is too shabby, how will she face her husband in the future?

"Don't worry about it. I will find a way when the time comes. This is not something you should worry about."

Zhu Yuanyuan was completely devastated. Not only could her father not help her, but he was also holding her back.

"father!"

"Okay, stop talking. You'll be indispensable when the time comes."

Zhu Yuanyuan also knew that the dowry issue could not be resolved in a short time, so she could only suppress her anger and talk about business.

"Dad, are you delivering supplies to the emperor again?"

"Who told you that?"

Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes flashed, and then she straightened her back and said confidently, "Do I need someone to tell me about such a big move in the Ministry of Revenue?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhu Chen's eyes. What he hated most was men who relied on women.

"Dad, why are you so rigid? If you delay for two more days, the soldiers at the border won't starve to death."

"Drag, drag, drag! I can't drag it any longer! If I drag it on any longer, all the civil and military officials will unite and eat me up."

"They dare!"

"Let's see if they dare. Okay, what do you know? Go back to your boudoir."

"You are the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Who dares to touch you?"

"Your Majesty dares!"

"Who is he? He is far away at the border now. How can he take care of you? Besides, he is going to die soon."

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. The emperor is really going to die. Dad, you can be bolder. The treasury is full now, so no one will notice if there is something missing."

Zhu Chen stared at his spoiled little daughter.

"What did he tell you?"

Zhu Yuanyuan was frightened by her father's eyes and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Dad, what's that look in your eyes? It scared me."

"What did he say to you? Or what did he do?"

"I don't know, Dad, all you need to know is that the emperor is going to be in big trouble. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

Zhu Chen did not say anything to stop her. He looked at his little daughter's back and fell into deep thought.

Maybe he was really wrong, thinking that his daughter just needed to live a happy life, and that having him as a father would ensure their prosperity and wealth no matter what.

This was indeed the case with the first two daughters, who both married the men they loved and lived a prosperous life.

But he forgot that although he had already been promoted to the second rank, there were still many people above him.

There are always people he can't afford to offend.

His little daughter could have fallen in love with any other boy, but she chose to fall in love with a prince.

He is still a troublesome royal prince.

He has been instigating him to go against the emperor. He has several heads that the emperor should chop off for going against him.

But his daughter's words kept ringing in his mind: "The emperor is really going to die."

What on earth did he do to be so confident that he thought the emperor would be in big trouble or even lose his life?

Although this news was good news for him now, he did not have any expectations in his heart, but was rather a little uneasy.

There are not many simple people in the royal family, especially the one at the top. It would be strange if there was anything good about marrying him.

Even the emperor, who is not interested in women, has many women in his harem. Given his daughter's personality, even if the man really succeeds and treats his daughter sincerely, he cannot guarantee that his daughter will be rich and prosperous all her life.

True feelings are always changing and are the most unreliable thing.

If his daughter married an ordinary man, his father, the Shangshu, could support her while he was still alive.

Even after his death, his connections can ensure his daughter a safe and secure life.

But even if he is appointed as prime minister or a duke, if he marries a member of the royal family, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the royal princes or those in high positions.

He knew that he was not a good person or a good official, but he was definitely a good father.

Other officials used their daughters to pave the way for themselves and marry into other families.

But he had never thought about it this way, nor had he done it this way. He just wanted his daughters to live a safe and prosperous life.

I don't want to be the so-called father-in-law of the country.

"Come here, lock up all the people around the Third Miss and replace them with a group of maids to serve her."

"Also, Miss San is not allowed to step out of her boudoir without my permission."

In stark contrast to Zhu Chen's gloomy mood, Leng Wuqin was sitting in the Yangxin Palace having a meal with his daughter as he watched Zhu Chen pack up the supplies and send them off.

Fortunately, the emperor had made preparations in advance and ordered that the Ministry of Revenue only needed to prepare the food and supplies, and the soldiers in the barracks would be responsible for their transportation.

As long as the supplies are handed over to the Beidong soldiers, Zhu Chen will not be able to intervene.

After two months of getting along, Zhongli Yuan completely immersed himself in the role of Concubine Yi and regarded Leng Wuqin as his own father.

The two now get along very well.

"Niuniu, I heard people say that sour sons and spicy daughters are the natural offspring. Your mother did like spicy food when she was pregnant with you."

"Do you like sour or spicy food nowadays?"

Zhongli Yuan paused for a moment, not thinking about this question.

He knew that Leng Er was an excellent doctor, and he often asked her to take his pulse but never asked about the gender of the baby in her belly.

To him, both sons and daughters are good, they are all their children.

Thinking about my recent diet, it doesn’t seem to be too sour or spicy.

"Everything is fine. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but I've had a big appetite lately. I eat both sour and spicy food. I don't have a preference for any one."

Leng Wuqin was not disappointed with the answer and continued to pick up food for his daughter with a smile.

To him, all his sons and daughters are the same; he is not someone who sticks to traditional ideas.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"As a father, I think daughters are better. You are the emperor's first child. If it were a prince, you and your son would surely be missed by many people."

"If it's a daughter, it won't attract too much jealousy, and you and your daughter will be relatively safe."

Leng Wuqin said this to comfort his daughter.

She was afraid that her daughter would feel too much pressure to give birth to a prince for the emperor, and the princess would inevitably be disappointed.

"Well, as long as it's the emperor's child, everything is fine."

"By the way, it's time you told the Emperor about this. It's been almost three months since the letter reached the Emperor."

Zhongli Yuan thought about it and felt a little conflicted, not knowing whether he should tell A Leng.
