After rebirth and breaking off the engagement, I supported the new king to ascend to the throne

Chapter 50 The Dowry
Shen Chenbi was also very unhappy. She enjoyed every moment alone with Ye Xuanchen and didn't want to be disturbed.

Especially since the person who was disturbing her was someone she didn't like.

Mrs. Hu was locked in Ye Xuanchen's sinister and deep eyes, and she almost became weak in fright.

When she learned that Ye Xuanchen was coming to the house, she hurried over.

Unexpectedly, these two people were rubbing each other's hair.

However, Mrs. Hu quickly raised the corners of her lips, raised a smile, looked at Ye Xuanchen eagerly and said, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be here too."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Chenbi asked in a cold tone, with no warmth in his eyes.

Mrs. Hu didn't care at all about Shen Chenbi's rejection and disgust. With a smile on her face, she said in a sinister manner: "When I heard that His Royal Highness King Chu came to visit you, as the mistress, I naturally came to say hello."

When Shen Chenbi heard her calling herself mistress, she couldn't help but sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Mrs. Hu automatically ignored her cold gaze, looked at Ye Xuanchen with a smile, and asked sincerely: "Your Highness, King Chu, you and Shen Bi will be getting married soon. Is everything in King Chu's palace ready?"

"Preparing." Ye Xuanchen said calmly, obviously knowing what the Hu family was.

"I wonder how the preparations of the Prince of Chu's Palace are going? How much gift will be required for His Highness the Prince of Chu to marry our family Shen Bi?" Madam Hu asked tentatively, with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

"I won't wrong Xu Er, why are you asking this?" Ye Xuanchen asked coldly.

Shen Chenbi also frowned and looked at Mrs. Hu, wondering what on earth she was up to.

"Hey, don't I just want to know something in my mind? After all, our Shen family is marrying the eldest lady, so we can't treat her badly. The dowry must be at least 120 yuan?" When Mrs. Hu said this, her eyes It fell on Shen Chenbi's body, flashing with calculation.

"I will take away all my mother's dowry. How much it is, I will ask someone to sort it out and take it away together." Shen Chenbi said without thinking.

Although her mother is missing now, Shen Chenbi will not leave any of her things to Hu.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu's expression changed slightly. She wanted to take them all away and not leave any behind.

This is not possible. She has long been coveted for the large amount of dowry left by her mother. She has coveted it. How could she be allowed to take it away?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hu smiled sweetly and said, "How can Shen Bi say that? I will certainly prepare the dowry for your marriage to His Highness the King of Chu. It's better not to use your mother's things."

"Besides, in a while, Si Xian will marry His Highness the Crown Prince. This is the honor of the Shen family. When the time comes, the dowry will be higher than what you want."

After hearing this, Shen Chenbi finally understood what Hu wanted to do.

She sneered and looked at Mr. Hu indifferently: "This is your business, what does it have to do with me?"

Mrs. Hu looked at her with disapproval: "How can you say that? Si Xian is your sister. When she marries the prince, you will have to pay part of her dowry."

Shen Chenbi sneered: "Are you dreaming?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Hu simply stopped pretending, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a hint of threat in her tone: "Half of the private treasury in your hand must be given to Silk Xian as a dowry."

Shen Chenbi's face darkened, and his eyes were cold and mocking: "It's a beautiful idea, is she worthy?"

"My private treasury is full of things and dowry left by my mother. There is no way I can pay for it!" Shen Chenbi refused without hesitation: "If you think her dowry is not enough, then pay for it yourself."

He also wanted her to give Shen Sixian a dowry, but Mrs. Hu actually had the nerve to say such a thing.

What is Shen Si Xian?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face suddenly dropped, she frowned in displeasure, and looked at Shen Chenbi with a disappointed look on her face: "Chen Bi, you disappoint me so much."

She changed the topic, turned to look at Ye Xuanchen, and begged: "Your Highness King Chu, Shen Bi has gone too far. You have to help me become my concubine. As the eldest lady of the Shen family, she is also Si Xian's sister. , you should pay a dowry!" Shen Chenbi sneered and couldn't help but admire Hu's shamelessness.

Ye Xuanchen held Shen Shenbi's hand and glanced at Mrs. Hu casually: "Xu Er is right, and she is right. If you think Shen Sixian's dowry is not enough, then think of a way on your own and come and ask Xu Er for something. dowry?"

Mrs. Hu almost gritted her teeth, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and started making trouble regardless of it: "Your Highness, King Chu, that's not what you said. Shen Bi and Si Xian are both members of the same family. It is what she should do to give her sister a dowry." matter."

Shen Chenbi's eyes flashed with boredom, and he called out to the guard guarding the door. He pointed at Mrs. Hu and said coldly: "Gag her and put her in the woodshed. No food is allowed for three days."

"Shen Chenbi, how dare you! Uh-huh..." As soon as Mrs. Hu said a word, she was gagged and dragged off by the guards, tied up and thrown into the cold demolition house.

After dealing with Mrs. Hu, Shen Chenbi felt that the air seemed to become fresher.

The next day, the morning session ended.

Ye Xuanchen went to see the emperor.

She followed what Shen Chenbi said yesterday and meticulously reported all the circumstances to the emperor, including the death of Shen Wenqing and the prison boss, which were all related to the prince.

After hearing this, the emperor's face was filled with anger, and he stared at Ye Xuanchen with a gloomy gaze: "King Chu, are you sure what you said is true?"

"I dare not deceive the emperor." Ye Xuanchen said without thinking.

After listening, the emperor was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he sighed deeply, and finally chose to settle the matter: "King Chu, let's just stop here. There is no need to continue to investigate."

Ye Xuanchen's heart sank slightly, Xu Er's words were indeed right.

The emperor still chose to protect the prince.

"Yes." Ye Xuanchen could only respond, feeling ironic in his heart.

The emperor sighed deeply, with unconcealed fatigue on his old face: "Xuanchen, do you think I failed to teach the prince well? That made him do such a thing?"

Ye Xuanchen was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the prince may have been deceived temporarily." Ye Xuanchen said involuntarily.

The emperor looked at Ye Xuanchen and asked in a worried tone: "Do you think that when the prince comes to power in the future, he will become a good emperor?"

Seeing the emperor's tired look, Ye Xuanchen said with relief, "The prince just lacks training and will always grow up in the future."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed deeply: "In half a month, there will be a birthday banquet for the queen. At that time, the prince will return to the palace to celebrate the queen's birthday. At that time, I will consider whether to send the prince to the frontier for training."

When Ye Xuanchen heard this, he immediately agreed: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor looked at him deeply and hinted: "If the prince goes to the frontier, you must assist him well and don't have any disobedience."

These words carry a bit of knock and warning.

Ye Xuanchen cupped his hands and said in a sincere tone: "I am loyal to the emperor and will never have any second thoughts!"
