Empress Chu

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "No need, changing someone is either a marriage or an enemy, so this in-law is meaningless."

The old servant frowned and complained: "Then what should we do? You shouldn't spoil him, you really think you are here to be a young master."

"It doesn't matter, it's okay if he doesn't want to. Some people seem to be unruly, but they are very picky about the people they spend their lives with." Xie Yanfang said, "It's probably the kind of person who is easy and unfeeling, and once they fall in love, they will stay together forever."

The old servant laughed: "That's really funny."

How can life and death be inseparable between people.

"Don't laugh." Xie Yanfang said, with a rather sighing expression, "You and I are not such people, and it's a pity that we don't realize it."

The old servant found it even more funny, and laughed: "Young master, stop telling jokes."

Xie Yanfang smiled.

"Even if he is disobedient, he is still useful." He said, "Besides, Liang Siqing just annoyed His Majesty and was poured with tea. I thought he could last two years, but now it seems that it may be less than a year. This marriage is not suitable."

The old servant was surprised, he hadn't heard about it in the capital, but the young master knew about it as soon as he entered the capital, and after he was surprised, he was a little ashamed: "The old servant is useless, I didn't even find out about it."

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "You are beside the Crown Princess in the capital, so you really can't be too well-informed about things in the palace."

The old servant replied, thinking of Liang Siqing, he said: "Liang Siqing was reprimanded because of Chu Ling's daughter."

He told about the fight between Miss Chu and Miss Liang's family a few days ago.

This is a trivial matter, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but I didn't expect that it was Liang Siqing who was punished in the end.

He looked at Xie Yanfang again, with even more admiration in his eyes: "Chu Ling is really extraordinary in His Majesty's eyes. I don't know how he will respond to the letter sent to him by the young master."

"I expressed the goodwill of the Xie family, and it is up to General Chu to decide how to respond," Xie Yanfang said.

The old servant replied yes, and asked again: "Miss Chu Zhao, do you need to know more?"

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "No need, this girl is just Chu Ling's daughter."

What he wants to make friends with is Chu Ling, a young child, there is no need for him to care.

Chapter 11 Housework

When the sky was bright, Chu Zhao came to the courtyard where Chu Lan and his wife lived.

Standing in the corridor, Chu Tang was very dissatisfied when he saw her: "A Tang, you came so late again and made your parents wait for you for dinner."

Sitting indoors, Chu Lan slapped the book in her hand on the table as a reprimand.

"Azhao." Jiang said with a half-smile, "Did you forget the time for breakfast?"

In the past few days since Chu Zhao came back, he was late every day. He asked the maid to urge him, and he always came as soon as he answered, but he was still late.

Chu Zhao walked in and saw that most of the food had been removed from the table.

"Your uncle and elder brother both have something to do, so they eat first." Shi Jiang said, beckoning Chu Tang to sit down, "Your sister and I are waiting for you."

Chu Zhao washed his hands in the basin brought by the maidservant, and said, "When I was at home, I ate very late, and I had to ride horses and shoot arrows, so I went to eat after training, and we can have breakfast separately in the future, and uncles and aunts don't have to wait for me. "

Chu Lan frowned displeasedly: "Your father and you used to be two people, but now you come home, you can't be so unruly."

Mrs. Jiang took over the words: "What your uncle said is that three meals a day is one of the most important things, and it is also a very important rule. Ah Zhao, it's easy to talk about in your own home. In the future, when you get married, you can also eat on your own. Eat alone? Your husband and your parents-in-law don't care?"

Uncle and aunt sang together like this, and she used to be nervous and relieved, and she believed in their words without doubt.

At this time, Chu Zhao looked indifferent: "Well, we'll talk about it later." He even smiled, "Maybe I don't have parents-in-law."

What is this called!Chu Lan and Jiang Shi were stunned, and Chu Tang stared even more.

In fact, it was like this in her last life. She had no father-in-law or mother-in-law. When the emperor made Xiao Xun the crown prince, he also made a decree, which was to let King Zhongshan commit suicide.

The king of Zhongshan is dead, the emperor is dead, the empress is dead long ago, concubine Zhao was convicted and beheaded, she is the only one in the harem, Xiao Xun is busy with government affairs, and she has always been the only one who eats alone.

Later, there were more and more concubines in the palace, and those concubines came to greet her and eat with her, but she didn't want to see them——

She has been used to eating alone for so many years.

Thinking about what to do with those things, Chu Zhao held the chopsticks and decided directly: "I will eat by myself from tomorrow, so that everyone will save trouble."

She was a reckless girl with no rules, she went out for this trip, and she broke the pot after she came back.

Chu Lan patted the table again: "Don't talk about breakfast, you will eat all meals by yourself in the future, and you are not allowed to go out again, this way you won't get into trouble again, and everyone will save trouble." Then she called Chu Tang, "Leave her homework and tell her to shut up." door to read."

Chu Tang got up and responded, but Chu Zhao didn't care. After eating in two or three bites, he put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm taking my leave." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Look at her." Chu Lan was still angry.

Mrs. Jiang was also angry: "She is not like that because of her second uncle's backing. Now that she is proud, Liang Siqing's daughter can also beat her casually, and Liang Siqing's wife can also scold her casually. Since the second uncle is so powerful, the money that was ruined by her Why don't you come back?"

Thinking that all the money stolen by Chu Zhao was squandered, she was so distressed that she couldn't eat anymore.

Chu Ke walked in from the outside: "Father, I'm going out for a while." Seeing his parents' expressions, "Who are you angry with?"

Chu Tang sat at the table and ate slowly, "Of course it's Chu Zhao."

Chu Ke snorted: "Why are you angry with her, just ignore her."

Mrs. Jiang pulled him over and asked: "You just came back, you haven't been raised yet, don't go out in a hurry."

Chu Lan glanced at him: "Don't delay your homework."

Mrs. Jiang didn't like to hear these words: "It's also because of Chu Zhao that I dropped my homework. For her, A Ke has been running around for so many days, delaying his homework and wasting energy. A Ke, you said that A Zhao gave all the money to those liars? Now that it's been found out, why don't you chase it back?"

Chu Ke's eyes dodged slightly. He really followed what Chu Zhao said. He didn't say that the money was recovered and then stolen by Chu Zhao. He only said that Chu Zhao squandered it from the beginning.

"Then I don't know, that Deng Yi is in charge." He said.

He wasn't lying, the money was given to Deng Yi by Chu Zhao.

As for Deng Yi, his father also knew that he was very greedy for money.

"I knew it." Jiang said immediately, "I must have been fooled by that Deng Yi." She turned her head and urged Chu Lan, "Go find him and come back."

How could Chu Lan want to deal with a villain like Deng Yi again!

"I'll write to my second brother." He said in a deep voice, "He can teach His Majesty Liang Siqing a lesson, so naturally he should get our family's money back from Deng Yi."

Speaking of this matter, Jiang became even more angry: "Ask him again, does he not care about our Ake's future? It hurt your future at the beginning, and now Ake's will be ruined by him. You Ask him, is his surname Chu?"

Chu Lan was upset: "I know, I know."

"It's because you don't have the momentum to be the big brother. What's the use of knowing." Jiang said angrily, "You can't control him if you know."

Seeing his parents arguing again, Chu Ke looked at his sister, Chu Tang gave him a helpless look.

"Father, mother, let's not talk about the second uncle." Chu Ke said, "He is not reliable, we don't rely on him, I want to go out not to play, the third prince is going to hold a literary meeting in Wangchun Garden."

Hearing the third prince, Jiang Shi and Chu Lan stopped arguing, and Chu Tang stopped eating and put down his chopsticks.

"I'm going to see how to participate. It's one thing to be able to show off your talents. On the other hand, the third prince's literary meeting, the prince of Zhongshan will definitely be able to participate. I don't have the chance to talk to the third prince. Let's see if I can talk to the prince of Zhongshan." Chu Ke said , sighed, "He helped a lot this time, and he is our family's great benefactor. Because Chu Zhao was rude, we couldn't express our gratitude properly."

Although he sighed, the boy's brows and eyes sparkled and he was full of energy.

Whether it is the third prince or the third prince, they are all descendants of the royal family. The Jiang family, Chu Lan, and Chu Tang all nodded.

"This is what it should be, it is necessary, you go quickly."

……

……

Chu Zhao walked back to the residence slowly, and the maidservants who were chatting and laughing together quickly quieted down.

"Go out." Chu Zhao said, "Don't come to me without my order."

The maids curled their lips and dispersed in a hurry.

A Le ran forward, wanting to open the curtain for Chu Zhao, but Chu Zhao shook his head at her: "A Le, you don't have to wait on me."

A Le was shocked: "Miss, you don't want me anymore?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "No, don't be afraid, I'm asking you to do something."

A Le breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his heart: "Miss, please tell me."

Chu Zhao said: "I want you to keep an eye on the old man and A Ke to see who they are with, and then to watch the door of the house to see who is visiting."

Speaking of which, he sighed.

"I don't have any manpower. You can only use it by yourself. You have worked hard."

Ale smiled and said: "It's just staring at people. It's not hard work. It's much easier than washing and sweeping the floor. Miss, don't worry, I can be used as ten people by myself."

Chu Zhao stretched out his hands to hold Ale's face, and gently rubbed it: "This time, I will have Lao Ale."

Chapter 12 Prince

Wangchun Garden is the palace built by the emperor for Concubine Zhao. It is located in the western suburbs of the capital. In the beginning, the two of them spent more than a year and a half here.

The third prince loves to read, so he asked the emperor to watch the Spring Garden, and he left the palace to live in it, like a fish in water, becoming more and more obsessed, reading alone is not enough, so he wants to organize a literary meeting.

In the imperial garden of the imperial palace in spring, a pavilion amidst blooming flowers hangs on all sides, revealing the figure lying on its inner side. A group of eunuchs with kabuki holding various musical instruments retreated aside, obviously the dance music was interrupted .

There were not many people who could interrupt the emperor's appreciation of the dance and music, except for the imperial concubine and the prince, who was the third prince.

"Father, I have already thought about it. The rewards set up at that time must be ingenious."

A young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face and a weak complexion, his hair was held in a bun casually by a wooden hairpin, and his clothes were too big to fit, as if he had hurriedly pulled a piece of clothes on and rushed over, but when it comes to this, he Waving his hands, his brows and eyes are full of energy.

"Reward, prize money, silver jewels, it's not appropriate, reward a rare copy, or reward, reward father, can you write it by hand?"

The emperor, who seemed to be asleep in the pavilion, snorted: "Why did you ask me to give you a reward when you have an essay meeting?"

The third prince smiled: "Of course father, you are the most talented and outstanding."

The emperor sneered: "No, I heard that you told people that my knowledge is poor and that I don't understand poetry and writing."

The third prince reached out and grabbed the hair bun: "Did I say that? I forgot, but Father, your talents are indeed not very good."

The eunuchs on both sides watched their hearts and minds, and they were used to it, the third prince was just like that - frivolous.

With a bang, a wine jug was smashed out from the gauze curtain. Fortunately, the wine jug was already empty, and only the smell of wine fell on the third prince.

"Fuck off." The emperor scolded, "What's the point of being proud of reading a few books? Look at what you're like now. A useless old scholar is more energetic than you."

The third prince was not afraid of his father's anger, so he frowned and said, "How can my son be useless? The gentlemen all praise my son's talent and learning, father, are you jealous?"

The third prince was not worried that the emperor would be pissed off, and the eunuchs were not worried either, and continued to stand with their heads bowed steadily.

In the distance, two people walked slowly, and saw a plate of melons and fruits smashed out of the pavilion, and the third prince who was kneeling outside hugged his head and dodged.

One of them was tall and strong, wearing brocade clothes, his complexion was black and red, and his voice was also resounding: "Third brother, you have come to provoke the emperor to be angry again."

As he spoke, he stepped forward a few steps and picked up the third prince.

He was only five or six years older than the third prince, and they were about the same size, so he easily lifted the third prince up.

The third prince shouted angrily: "Let me go!"

The man laughed and let go of his hand.

The third prince shook his sleeves angrily: "It's an insult to gentlemen! What kind of prince do you look like!"

The eunuchs who were about to come forward to salute at this moment stood firmly in place again, lowering their heads even lower.

The man - the crown prince was not angry at all, he just said disdainfully: "How can you look like the son of the emperor, gentle and gentle, can gentleness rule the country?"

The third prince became even more angry, and sneered: "What does Jiangshan have to do with me!"

The more the two brothers talked, the more outrageous they became. The emperor inside the veil spoke, but instead of interrupting the two, he called the other one: "Ah Xun, come in and sit down."

Only then did the two eunuchs move, stepping forward and lifting the gauze curtain, revealing the reclining emperor inside.

The emperor and the third prince are very similar, both have handsome faces, but he is already old, his cheeks are thin, and besides being weak, he is also a little more decayed.

Walking with the prince, Xiao Xun, who was standing a few steps away, hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

His memory of the emperor still stays in his childhood, when His Majesty was still a vigorous middle-aged man.

"You don't need to be too polite, there are no rules here." The emperor said lightly, "You are so polite, comparing these two is even worse."

People didn't know how to react to these words, and Xiao Xun was at a loss for a moment.

The prince laughed: "Royal father, just scold us, don't scare Ah Xun." After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Xun's arm, "Come, sit with Gu."

Xiao Xun wanted to but was unable to refuse, so he was dragged into the gazebo by the prince, and sat beside the emperor together.

"Father, the third brother is here to bother you again?" The prince said, "I heard about it when I was alone in the army. What kind of reading club is going to be held by the third brother? This is not only going to make me crazy, but also driving the scholars in the capital to go crazy." .”
