The villain female supporting role will never admit defeat

It rained that night.

In the middle of the night, Chu Yaoguang heard the footsteps of the palace man outside, and got up in a daze to look.

Outside the hall, light rain pattered and fell on the ground, wetting the bluestone slabs.

Chu Yaoguang didn't look much, went back to the bedroom and continued to rest.

After a rain, the weather in the morning of the second day was moist and comfortable.

Duzhi has a lot of work to do recently, and Chu Yaoguang finished it in the morning, and it's getting late.

Today, Lu Xingyun came to deliver the meals, and the two became closer, so Chu Yaoguang pulled Lu Xingyun to eat together.

Obviously, the two of them had dinner together from Youzhou to the capital before, but neither seemed uncomfortable this time.

It is probably because there is emotion in the heart, and when the hands touch each other inadvertently, the movements of both of them will pause.

After eating, we chatted some gossip again.

Chu Yaoguang smiled and said, "It rained last night, so it's not so hot today."

Lu Xingyun nodded: "Then I hope there will be more rain in Beijing."

Chu Yaoguang was startled.

Lu Xingyun was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chu Yaoguang smiled, "I just thought that it wouldn't be good if it rained too much."

Lu Xingyun nodded in agreement.

After Lu Xingyun left, the relaxed smile on Chu Yaoguang's face slowly dissipated, and turned into a serious one.

She just remembered that in the original book, two or three months after Xia Miao ended, Yangzhou was flooded.

The book does not clearly describe how serious the waterlogging was, but it is written that the emperor sent courtiers to relieve the disaster, and even held a ceremony to worship the heavens to pray for the blessing of the gods and quell the waterlogging.

It is written in detail in the book that when Chu Mingyu saw that his mother was worried about the waterlogging in Yangzhou for a while, he thought of some ways to control the waterlogging to relieve the emperor's worries. Compared.

So Chu Yi's heart turned more and more towards Chu Mingyu.

Chu Yaoguang no longer thinks about unbiased things, the most important thing now is the flood.

When she was reading, she had expected Chu Mingyu to go to Yangzhou and use her knowledge to help solve the waterlogging problem.

But Chu Mingyu didn't do what she wanted.

From Chu Yaoguang's point of view, Chu Mingyu doesn't seem to care about the situation of the country she lives in, she only cares about certain people.

For example, when she first learned about the waterlogging, she only showed surprise. When Chu Yi was troubled by it, she tried her best to make suggestions.

Chu Yaoguang went back to work in Duzhisi worriedly.

She really wanted to tell Chu Yi about this. After all, a flood would kill many ordinary people and damage property.

But she couldn't speak.

Whether Chu Yi believed it or not was the second priority. How could she explain how she knew there would be a flood?

Most importantly, even if she said it, it wouldn't change much.

No one can stop the rain.

When he finished his work and returned to Changle Palace, Chu Yaoguang had already adjusted his mood, at least he didn't see anything wrong on his face.

The girls were busy with their own work, and Mei Zhi whispered around Mr. Zhu about Chu Yaoguang's birthday in half a month, with a pure and relaxed smile on his face.

Chu Yaoguang relaxed a little, took out a pen and paper and practiced calligraphy while thinking about things in Yangzhou.

Now she doesn't have a good plan, but there is still some time before the flood, so she will slowly think of a solution.

Time passed quickly in the midst of being busy, and when Chu Yaoguang had almost made up her mind, her birthday also arrived.

In the morning, scattered people sent congratulatory gifts to Changle Palace.

Chu Yaoguang looked at the gifts of a few acquaintances first.

Chu Mingyu sent a whole set of gold-plated tea sets, while Chu Baoqi sent a mahogany screen.Mr. Shuning is a chrysanthemum pillow sewn by himself, and Mr. Xue Huanggui is a jade bracelet.

Chu Yi's is the most real, and also wins Chu Yaoguang's heart the most.

He gave Chu Yaoguang the deed of a house.

There was no major event for the birthday, but the children were called to Ming Ye Hall for a meal.

After finishing their meals, they dispersed, and Chu Yaoguang was called away by Chu Yi alone.

Chu Yaoguang asked respectfully, "What is the purpose of the Queen Mother calling my children?"

Chu Yi didn't answer, but raised his chin.

Chu Yaoguang looked in the direction, and saw Chengying leading two young and beautiful palace men in.

Chu Yaoguang's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Chengying bowed his head: "Your Majesty, someone brought it."

"Not bad, the appearance is not bad." Chu Yi glanced critically at the palace man, nodded, and looked at Chu Yaoguang, "What do you think?"

What, what do you mean?

The two palace men glanced at Chu Yaoguang shyly and timidly, like two budding flowers.

Chu Yaoguang's eyes darkened, and he completely understood.

Is the emperor going to give himself a man?

Give your daughter a man on her birthday, you really deserve it!

"Not really." Chu Yaoguang immediately shook his head.

Chu Yi frowned: "Not satisfied with these two?"

"No, both of them are very good-looking," Chu Yaoguang explained with his head bowed, "but my son is not interested in this matter."

Chu Yi looked down, thoughtfully.

Chu Yaoguang glanced at his lower body and recalled it.

His father, what do you mean?

Doubt me? !

"My son is busy with affairs, I just want to do more things, and I don't have time to think about it," Chu Yaoguang said, "Besides, my son and Mr. Lu have a relationship, and I really don't want to ruin the friendship because of some unimportant people."

The shy and timid Gong Nan was instantly labeled as an "unimportant person", and his anticipation dimmed.

"Okay, since you don't intend to do this, then forget it." Chu Yi didn't think too much about it. Since his daughter didn't like it, he also gave a reason, and she couldn't force her to accept the bed warmer.

Chu Yaoguang heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compassion."

"Go back," Chu Yi waved his hand, "Don't go out of the palace at random today."

"Yes, my son will leave." Chu Yaoguang withdrew and returned to Changle Palace.

Because of his birthday, Hubu allowed a day off, and after Chu Yaoguang went back, he rested for half an hour.

After recovering enough energy, Chu Yaoguang decided to go to Wude Hall to practice boxing and kicking.

The guard Cao of the Wude Hall was as strict as ever, and practiced hard against Chu Yaoguang for an hour, thinking that Chu Yaoguang was not in good health so he did not extend the time

Chu Yaoguang went back to Changle Palace limply, and was about to take a rest when Mr. Zhu ran in happily.

Chu Yaoguang seldom saw Mr. Zhu looking so restless, so he smiled: "What's so happy about it?"

Mr. Zhu glanced at the surrounding situation, approached Chu Yaoguang, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Lu, please go down to Yingxiang Tower to have a talk."

Yingxianglou is a famous restaurant in Beijing.

Lu Xingyun probably wanted to treat himself to dinner.

Although Chu Yaoguang regretted it, he still shook his head: "Help me refuse, Your Majesty will not allow me to go out today."

Mr. Zhu was stunned.

Her expression didn't look like pity, but a kind of disappointment and sadness that Chu Yaoguang couldn't describe.

Chu Yaoguang had a flash of inspiration: "Who else is there in Yingxiang Tower besides Xing Yunzi?"

Mr. Zhu said in a low voice: "An old man from Youzhou."

Chu Yaoguang jumped up all of a sudden.

It's Ning Huarong!
