"Oh, actually it's not a big deal, just borrowing money!" Xile said with a smile.
But the others seemed to have heard something terrible, and they all stared at Xile with their eyes wide open and dumbfounded.
No one expected that Xile would ask for a loan.
By the way, who doesn't know that Xile is a daughter of many treasures? She has been favored by three generations of emperors and has received countless rewards.
And now they are all Maurya Kings. As a prince, how can he be short of money?
Besides, even if you are short of money, you won’t have to ask for a loan, right?
Everyone's eyes were full of suspicion, expressing disbelief in Xile's words.
Zhao Kuan asked tentatively: "I wonder how much you plan to borrow, Your Majesty? I would like to ask, what is the purpose of borrowing the money? I don't want to pay attention to your personal affairs, Your Majesty, but I am just a little confused, because I also said just now
After that, my Zhao family can bear all the expenses of the Peacock Palace in the future."
Indeed, Zhao Kuan did not find it strange to ask this question.
There is no need to worry about the expenses of the Peacock Palace anymore. Is it still necessary to borrow money?
Xile has a good impression of Zhao Kuan, at least much better than Li Yindi.
Facing Zhao Kuan's question, Xile sighed softly, "Since you want to know, it doesn't matter if I tell you. How do you think I became the prince?"
Hearing Xile's rhetorical question, everyone became even more confused.
"Isn't it canonized by the new emperor? Now the imperial edict has been spread throughout the capital." someone answered.
Xile nodded, "You are right, it is indeed the new emperor who made me a prince, but why do you think the new emperor wants to make me a prince? This is against the royal rules."
When Xile asked this question, everyone fell into deep thought.
In fact, not only they were curious about this matter, but also all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were curious about it.
However, everyone finally agreed that this was the new emperor's love for Xile.
But looking at Xile's reaction now, it seems that this is not the case. There may be some hidden reason behind this.
"Okay, I won't be too pretentious. In fact, I bought this Maurya King."
"What?" Everyone looked at Xile in shock, with disbelief on their faces.
"Bought it? How is this possible? The prince can also use it?"
Someone exclaimed unconsciously.
"Why not? You can all be an official, why can't I be a prince?" Xile said unceremoniously.
Many people turned away in embarrassment because of Xile's words.
Now the higher-ups are strictly investigating the matter of selling and buying officials. Xile said this in public, which made many people feel a little flustered.
But Xile's words also made the non-speaker think deeply.
From this point of view, if the prince of Xile really buys it, it is no different from selling his official position to buy it.
At this time, Li Yindi sneered and said: "This is really surprising. The new emperor is strictly investigating the sale of officials and buying them, but he also does such a thing. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world."
However, after finishing speaking, Li Yindi felt the attention of everyone and regretted a little.
Will he die if he mocks the new emperor in public?
Li Yindi was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat, and quickly changed his words: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't believe what His Highness Xile said."
But even so, many people around Li Yindi stayed away. Today, Li Yindi seemed to have no brains.
Xile glanced at Li Yindi, and then explained: "I don't care about selling or buying an official position. I was a princess before, but now I just changed my identity for fun. If any of you have any objections, you can stand up."
Li Yindi didn't say anything this time. He already regretted his rash behavior just now.
Zhao Kuan smiled and also spoke for Xile: "Your Highness is naturally different from selling an official to buy an official. Although there has been no princess becoming a prince since ancient times, to put it bluntly, they are all of royal blood, so of course they are not the same.
.”
Seeing this, Xile also nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. In short, you just need to know that in order to buy the title of Peacock King, I made a deal with the new emperor, and it will cost a lot of money."
"How much?" Zhao Kuan asked, genuinely curious.
"It's not much, just ten million taels of gold."
hiss!!
Everyone took a breath of cold air, good guy, you said you are a princess, does that matter?
This is ten million taels of gold. Even the three major aristocratic families may not be able to come up with so much gold at once. I am afraid they will need to sell 90% of their own property to barely do it.
It's just horrible and not worth it.
The reason why they think it's not worth it is because in their opinion, Xile's original status as a princess is already very good. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Although it was a historical precedent, it was worth ten million taels of gold.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Xile was also wondering if he had said a bit too much.
I couldn't help but look in the direction of Xin Ruyan and others.
But now Xin Ruyan and Wu Yuan were also looking at Xile with dumbfounded eyes. Wu Yuan just handed over the matter of selling and buying officials in the capital to Xile, but as for what method Xile would use, Wu Yuan didn't know.
It's just that Xile gave him a guarantee that it would be done within three days, but he didn't expect that it would be done like this.
It's really fair to say that he actually borrowed money.
If he had known that Xile had this plan, Wu Yuan would not have given this task to Xile.
Now that the deal was done, Wu Yuan and Xin Ruyan couldn't stop them, so they could only glare at Xile.
Xile didn't take it seriously. Borrowing money was just the first step, so where did it go?
"Everyone, don't worry. I borrowed this money. As long as you gather 10 million gold for me, you will be my Xile's forever friend."
Xile started to cheat.
But everyone looked at each other for a while, and no one said a word or responded.
It's okay to borrow money, but they are afraid that Xile won't be able to pay it back.
This is ten million taels of gold, what can Xile give in return?
And if what Xile said is true, it undoubtedly means that the new emperor doesn't seem to be very interested in this once-favoured princess.
Otherwise, the lion would not have opened its mouth wide.
So, do they still need to befriend Xi Le?
There is no need to make good friends, and Xile can't afford to repay such a large sum of money, so he definitely can't borrow it.
Although the people present could hope to collect ten million taels of gold if they pooled their efforts, there is really no need to do so.
Even Zhao Kuan kept his mouth shut. He even considered again whether he should follow Li Yindi's example and take back his previous promise to provide the expenses for the Peacock Palace.
For a time, the entire atmosphere in the Peacock Palace was filled with embarrassment.
Xile's face also darkened. She had thought that these people would definitely be unwilling to borrow money, but she never thought that not one of them would dare to say anything.
Sure enough, borrowing money is the beginning of breaking up the relationship?
