Of course not.

Concubine Zheng knows it too well.

Originally, when the position of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince was still very stable, the several princes fought fiercely.

Zijin was also among them.

Although she would be involved on behalf of Zijin.

It was precisely because of this that she understood very well the other princes' pursuit of the position of crown prince and emperor.

No matter who Chu Xi marries, she will bring Beixiao a good reputation.

This good reputation not only showed that Emperor Beixiao was benevolent, but also gave some good reputation to the people Chu Xi married.

She knows this, let alone His Majesty.

It's just a concubine position, and several princes will definitely fight among themselves for this good reputation.

Concubine Zheng's face changed again and again, from white to red, then green to black, and finally turned pale again.

Putting aside the prince, among the princes, only Zi Jin has been staying in the Ministry of Rites, and has made it clear that he will have nothing to do with the prince and the throne.

If Your Majesty wants to prevent the princes from fighting and actually fighting for something after the fight, then you will only give Chu Xi to...

Concubine Zheng couldn't stay any longer. This time was different from the girl in the Queen Mother's house last time.

As for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty didn't want to do it in the first place.

"Empress, I'm going back first."

Concubine Zheng didn't care that Chu Xi and the emperor were still in Fuying Tower, and hurried back in a hurry.

When we arrived at the door, the emperor was coming out.

At this time, seeing that her head was sweating profusely and her bun was a little messy, she frowned unconsciously.

Concubine Zheng didn't care whether the emperor was happy or not. She was almost anxious to death, so she hurriedly walked over and asked, "Your Majesty, Miss Chu..."

The emperor looked at her and said, "Since she doesn't want to marry the prince, then marry someone else. I don't only have a son, the prince."

Concubine Zheng felt cold in her heart at this sight. She was about to speak when she saw that the emperor was already walking away.

Chu Xi smiled tenderly at Concubine Zheng, "Your Majesty."

Concubine Zheng: "..."

She responded with great reluctance, "It's almost getting dark, Miss Chu, it's better to go back first."

After saying that, without waiting for Chu Xi to speak again, she hurriedly walked to Fuying Tower.

Chu Xi's face looked a little ugly after being treated like this, but she swallowed her anger when she thought about what would happen in the future.

As soon as the courtyard door was closed, Concubine Zheng said, "Go out of the palace and find Zijin."

When Shi Zhu took two steps, Concubine Zheng stopped her again. She was running around in a hurry, "No, I won't leave the palace just yet."

If she asks someone to come out of the palace now, His Majesty will definitely guess it.

At that time, there will really be no room for reversal.

She could only think of a reason to refuse as soon as possible.

Concubine Zheng thought of what Xiao Changluo said before.

Say in front of His Majesty that Zi Jin made a loss in business and lost everything, and now he is still using the dowry of the prince's concubine?

That definitely won't work.

Your Majesty may feel more at ease because there is no way to mess with it.

Furthermore, it is impossible to support her with the princess's dowry. Your Majesty will definitely give Chu Xibi a generous dowry.

Concubine Zheng wanted to faint.

She couldn't let people find Zijin openly, but privately...it was hard to hide it from His Majesty.

And judging from the way she looked just now, Chu Xi seemed to be willing.

This is difficult to do.

If Chu Xi didn't want it, His Majesty wouldn't want her to be the Seventh Prince's concubine, but she was willing.

Concubine Zheng was worried here for a few days, but she couldn't think of a way. She originally thought that she would have to wait until the imperial edict came out to clarify her objections before she could think of other strategies to refuse, but she didn't know that the imperial edict would not be issued.

Concubine Zheng didn't understand at first, so she asked Shizhu and Liuxu to inquire.

She wouldn't know if she didn't ask, and she would be furious if she did.

Xiao Changluo went out wearing ragged clothes for several days in a row.

Moreover, the clothes on weekdays have changed from being luxurious, and the clothes are very simple.

Originally, the emperor would not care about such a trivial matter, but a few ministers mentioned it during the discussion.

They lamented that Xiao Changluo rarely had the quality of diligence and thrift.

These princes and noble gentlemen, even if their clothes are torn, they can still wear them by patching the holes.

There is only the seventh prince.

Several ministers could not help but praise Xiao Changluoduo.

When the emperor heard this, he felt something was wrong. The seventh prince was the one he took care of the most among the princes. Although this boy was not extravagant, he was by no means thrifty as some people said.

He remained calm in front of several people, and then asked someone to call Xiao Changluo into the palace.

Xiao Changluo didn't know that the emperor was about to stuff Chu Xi into his backyard, and he was telling his last lie.

Once a lie is told, another lie must be used to cover it up.

Since he said he was losing money in business, he would go on to play this game to the end.

He had taken care of this outside, and even if he sent people over to check, nothing could be found wrong.

The only thing he didn't expect was the person who came to see him.

He only thought that his mother and concubine would find him, but he never thought that the first one he would find was his father.

Xiao Changluo stood below, feeling uneasy.

Lowering his head, he caught a glimpse of the intentionally worn holes in the sleeves on both sides, and moved his hands back without any trace.

This action made the emperor frown even more.

"What's the matter with your clothes? Who asked you to wear these clothes? You just wear them like this?"

Xiao Changluo: "..."

He goes to court every day behind his brothers, who knows he will be discovered.

Xiao Changluo didn't know that several ministers praised him like a flower, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to wear it myself. I think, after all, I am a man, so I can't always wear the clothes of the prince and concubine."

dowry."

The emperor even felt for a moment that he was too old and did not hear clearly.

Otherwise, how could he have heard Zi Jin say that he had used the dowry of the prince's concubine.

"Say it again." The emperor tried his best to keep his voice steady.

Xiao Changluo was a little afraid of being beaten, but the words had already been spoken and it was impossible to change them. "My son, I didn't tell my father before..."

Xiao Changluo briefly explained that he wanted to make a lot of money in business but was losing money, and that during this period, the prince's concubine had been supporting him with her dowry.

The emperor was silent for a long time, staring blankly not far away in a daze.

"Father, father?" Xiao Changluo felt uneasy.

"Bastard!" The emperor looked at his hands, picked up a few memorials and smashed them over, "How have I taught you these years? How to use a woman's dowry? You are really good at it!"

Xiao Changluo knelt on the ground, his eyebrows drooped, "My son is guilty."

The emperor's eyelids twitched, "You know you are wrong?"

Xiao Changluo immediately said, "I know my mistake. When I make money in the future, I will pay back ten times to the princess."

The emperor nodded subconsciously, "That's not bad." He came back to his senses and slammed the table angrily, "Now is the time to talk about this? Is it short for you to eat and wear it? I want you to do business?"

He cursed angrily, "Things that are of no use and can still make a loss in business need to be replenished with the dowry of the prince's concubine!"

Xiao Changluo: "..." If I had known, he would have found another reason.

Well now, this reason must continue.

What to do next?

"You can't say that." Xiao Changluo paused and continued, "This is also your previous teaching. I have always kept it in my heart. Young people must have the courage to dare to do it."
