Empress Chu

Chu Lan took a sip of tea and let out a long mouthful of sullen air.

The servants came to report, "Master, there are many people outside."

Chu Lan was stunned for a moment. Although he has no official position, he is knowledgeable and talented, and he is not unknown. He also has a lot of acquaintances. Is it because old and new friends came to drink tea and joke with him?

The servant also thought so at first, but——

"I don't even know each other, and they said—" the servant said, looking at Chu Lan timidly, "I want to find the daughter of the Chu family."

Chu Lan was baffled, he knew that his daughter A Tang was intelligent and knowledgeable, and she was quite famous in the capital, but she was famous among women.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Jiang didn't understand. She thought it was Chu Lan's guest, and she came to question whether she should tell her about the random treat in advance. She didn't expect that she was not looking for Chu Lan, but Chu's daughter.

There has never been a group of people coming to find a family's daughter, of course, except for talking about relatives.

But dear, there is no group of men coming to the door together.

"It's not about kissing." Another servant ran in, and compared to the timidity of the previous servant, his expression became panicked, "Master and Madam, they said they want to compete with the daughter of the Chu family."

Jiang was even more puzzled, what does competition mean?

But Chu Lan thought of something in an instant. He felt that something was wrong before, and he always felt that he caused some trouble, so that's it!

The book he was holding fell to the floor.

"The big ones have not gone and the small ones come again." He shouted, "O sin!"

……

……

"It's here." Qi Leyun said, lifting the car curtain to look outside, "Wangchun Garden is really full of people now."

She looked at Chu Tang who was huddled in the carriage again, and Chu Tang picked up a fan to cover his face.

"Not at all." Qi Leyun laughed, "Where are you going to be ashamed?"

As he said that, he was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Chu Tang.

"There are too many people." Chu Tang said, "Don't go."

Wangchun Garden was originally a royal palace where idlers and others were not allowed to approach, but because of the Wenhui, countless scholars gathered. At this time, except for the palace gate, which was guarded by imperial guards, other places were full of people, and there were even small merchants and hawkers everywhere. It's people, there are too many people, the two of them got out of the car, and they must be watched.

Chu Tang asked the maid to get out of the car.

Qi Leyun asked Chu Tang: "Are you thinking too much? Why did something happen?"

After being interrupted in the restaurant earlier, Chu Tang said that he had admitted to the wrong person, and the girls didn't care. They were beautiful and noble, and there were many people who pretended to approach them with various excuses, but they were from high families. , there are many maids and servants following, so there is no need to worry about someone's intentions.

But Chu Tang was absent-minded all the time, and the other girls left after the scene, so she grabbed Qi Leyun.

"Something may have happened to my house," she whispered, "do me a favor."

Qi Leyun doesn't like Chu Tang, because Chu Tang always looks down on her.

But when he saw Chu Tang holding his sleeve and looking uneasy, he couldn't help being complacent, looked down on her for asking her for help, and immediately agreed.

She thought Chu Tang was frightened by the men who suddenly appeared in the restaurant. Although Chu Tang played with them, his status was not as high as theirs, and he didn't have luxury cars and servants to protect him.

But Chu Tang did not go home in her car, but came to look at the Spring Garden. On the way, Chu Tang didn't speak, his expression was solemn, and he sighed from time to time, as if the sky was about to fall, which made Qi Leyun nervous.

"What kind of enemy did you provoke?" Qi Leyun asked again.

Chu Tang looked at her: "I've messed with my life, so give me my sister's life."

What's the mess, Qi Leyun stared, and wanted to ask again, but the maid came back in a hurry, her voice trembling, "Miss, miss, it's not good—"

The maid was scolded by Chu Tang to get into the car, the curtains and windows of the car were drawn, and the inside of the car was in a daze, the maid's face turned pale.

"Miss Ah Zhao's name is at the gate of Wangchun Garden." The maid said tremblingly, "It says that if you want to enter Wangchun Garden, you have to beat Chu's daughter, Chu Zhao."

Qi Leyun turned her head in shock, and asked Chu Tang: "Chu Zhao is so talented? Even the Third Prince knows her?"

"What a talent." Chu Tang covered his face with a fan, "This is revenge."

Sure enough, she guessed right.

"The third prince found out about Chu Zhao's competition with my brother in the restaurant. She snatched my brother's post, but this post was given to my brother by the third prince. She said that mediocrity is not worthy. This is scolding the third prince for knowing people." Unclear."

"The third prince is angry and wants to take revenge on her. She beat my brother in a competition, so the third prince asked everyone to compete with her!"

"Chu Zhao can beat my brother, but can she win everyone?"

Qi Leyun recovered from the shock, and was even more dumbfounded after hearing this, then this is really——

Chu Tang took her hand: "Ah Yun, I can't go home for the time being, let me stay at your place."

Who made her surnamed Chu?

The city gate catches fire, bringing disaster to the fish in the pond!

……

……

"Chu's daughter, come out!"

"Chu's daughter, come out!"

"Mr. Chu, you are so rude!"

The people gathered in front of the Chu residence had already started shouting, they had registered their names and stated their intentions, but the Chu family was very rude, not only did they not open the door, they even locked the door from the inside.

"Since you questioned the third prince's incompetence in selecting candidates, and claimed to be erudite and talented, now that the third prince is as you wish, why don't you dare to come out?" Several scholars shouted angrily.

Then there were more inquiries, "What's going on?" "What is the origin of this daughter of the Chu family?" "I've never heard of such a person. Why does the Third Prince admire her so much?"

At that time, the matter of Chu Zhao and Chu Ke in the restaurant was just a trivial matter, just like countless fights and scolding happened in the capital every day, not to mention that there was the third son Xie in the restaurant that day, the quarrel between Chu Ke and Chu Zhao, the two brothers and sisters, was dismissed by the people present at that time with a smile up.

Outside the gate of Wangchun Garden, in addition to the original three levels, another question was suddenly hung up, saying that Rang had a competition with a woman from the Chu family named Chu Zhao. Only by winning could she pass the level. Most people didn’t know what happened. .

So a few people who knew the story of that day were embellished, and the content was no longer Chu Zhao arguing with his brother because his father was humiliated, but jealous of his brother getting the post, resenting that the third prince had no eyes, and won in public. I posted a post, saying that I am the one who is qualified to participate in the Third Prince Literature Club.

So rampant!

Hearing the uproar outside the door, Jiang's face turned pale, and Chu Lan was angry and desperate.

"It's a good thing you caused." He said, looking at Chu Zhao who was called over, he seemed to see his second brother, "You, your father and daughter, are really the fault of my Chu family!"

Chu Zhao looked calm, although the development of the matter was beyond her expectation.

The third prince actually noticed this trivial matter?Who told the third prince?Who provoked and angered the Third Prince?

However, there was no surprise. What happened at Yaquge and Chu Ke at that time was indeed very easy for people to add fuel and jealousy to become disrespectful to the third prince.

She was disrespectful to the Third Prince!

This kind of murderer killed so many people in the capital, and plunged Daxia into complete chaos. He still has the face to call himself a scholar, and he is a shameless villain with his noble blood!

Nothing good happened to this villain.

But that's in the future. Now that he offends this villain, he can make her end badly.

Chu Zhao clenched his hands in front of him.

"I'll beat them away!" Ah Le shouted.

The old master is such a waste, he even indulged those people to be rude outside, so many servants in the family just go out and beat them away.

It doesn't matter, even if she is alone, she can beat them.

"Shut up, poor maid." Chu Lan scolded, "Those are all scholars of my Great Xia."

He looked at Chu Zhao again.

"You, go and admit your mistake to them, give them that post, and end this matter."

Chu Zhao said, "Okay." He lifted his foot and walked out.

Chu Lan hadn't finished the rest of the sentence, and it broke in her throat, almost choking herself. Looking at the girl's back, she slapped the table bitterly: "You have completely embarrassed the Chu family."

What a crime, how will he see people in the future!

Chapter 38 Games

The closed door of the house was suddenly opened, and the noisy people outside were startled.

I thought it was the servant who came out to chase people away.

But there were no servants, only two girls came out, one of them was crowded at the front, but after stepping over the threshold, the girl behind stretched out her hand and pushed aside.

The girl stepped forward with a small face, big eyes, and a calm expression.

"I'm Chu Zhao." She said, "What do you want from me?"

She is Chu Zhao?Much smaller than expected!I thought it was an old lady!

One person couldn't help but confirm and asked: "Are you the daughter of the Chu family that the third prince said?"

Chu Zhao said: "I don't know what the third prince said, if you are looking for Chu Zhao, it is me."

It really was her, and another person stepped forward: "Miss Chu, you claim that the people invited by the Third Highness Wangchunyuan Literature Club are just superficial, even worse than you?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "I'm talking about my brother, but—" Her eyes swept over everyone, "If you want to prove that you are not just superficial, I can also compare with you."

what?

The people outside the door hadn't responded yet, and the servants inside the door who were sent by Chu Lan to eavesdrop turned pale.

what happened?Didn't you say you came to admit your mistake?

Miss Chu Zhao, this is clearly the afternoon!

It's over, it's over, it's over - the servant turned around and staggered inward, only to hear another commotion outside the door behind him.

"Everyone be quiet." Chu Zhaoba raised his voice.

A Le was louder than her: "Shut up!"

The hustle and bustle stopped, everyone looked at the girl at the door.

There was a slight smile on the girl's face: "Isn't that why everyone came here? Why are you so surprised after hearing what I said?"

The expressions of the people outside the door were a bit complicated, because they didn't expect her to really compete.

Such a notice was pasted outside the third prince's door, but after knowing the reason, most people also knew that it wasn't that the daughter of the Chu family was so knowledgeable and talented that she was regarded as a teacher by the third prince and could assess everyone.

The third prince wanted to teach her a lesson.

Of course, the third prince didn't mean to take revenge, but to vent his anger for the scholars, and warned the little girl not to be too rampant.

They didn't think that the little girl dared to be rampant, so they came to them and questioned her. The girl bowed her head and admitted her mistake, saying that she was no match for her previous behavior, and then took out the post and returned it. it's over.

Who really competes with a girl, it's a disgrace.

I didn't expect this girl to really want to compete with them, this is really ignorant and fearless.

"Miss Chu, do you really want to compare?" a man asked.

The child had a smile on his face, and his eyes were black and bright: "Of course, since His Highness the Third Highness has announced to the world, how can it be a joke, but." She shook hands and thought about it seriously, "Since you are here to compete with me, you must Listen to my arrangement, otherwise it will be a mess."

She is serious, one of them hesitated and asked: "It should be like this, how will Ms. Chu arrange it?"

Chu Zhao said with a smile: "The Third Highness is looking forward to the spring garden, and the little girl's home also has a garden, so I invite everyone to enter the garden, and we will sit and compete."

……

……

"She wants to compete with these people!"

Chu Lan, who was hiding in the study, was even more shocked when she heard the servant's report.

Mrs. Jiang also ran in with her servants and maidservants: "Master, those people have all come in and gone to Chu Garden, what should we do?"

what to do?People have already entered, and only he, the head of the family, can drive them out. Doesn't that mean that he has offended these people?

Chu Lan patted the table again: "Just like his father, he will cause trouble for the family, cause trouble!"

Jiang also patted the table in a hurry: "Tell me what to do! There are so many people, can you stop them? Can you rush them? Or, entertain them?"

How to stop?How to catch up?How to entertain?Chu Lan slapped the table: "See how she ends up, and bring shame upon herself!"

So don't care?Jiang Shi was both helpless and uneasy, her head ached faintly, when she picked up Chu Zhao back, she never expected that there would be so much trouble.

In fact, it should have been thought of earlier, after all, there is such a father.
