That night.
The servant from Prince Qi's mansion left through the corner gate and went straight to the residence of the Minister of Works, handing a wooden sign toward the west corner gate.
The corner door opened quickly, and he went in and explained his purpose. Someone immediately took him to Chen Qi's study.
In addition to Chen Qi, there was also his eldest son Chen Jingxu in the study at this time. After listening to him, the two of them sent the man away.
Chen Jingxu sneered, "Father, Prince Qi has grown too powerful and is out of control. Do you want to be abandoned after your rabbit is dead?"
Chen Qi sat behind the desk calmly, "It shouldn't be that serious. He probably just wants us to know his abilities."
Chen Jingxu was disdainful, "What's his ability? He thinks everything will be fine after he gets close to the General's Mansion? Can he succeed without our help?"
Chen Qi was so calm, "No matter what, it's a good thing that he has ambitions. It's better than being a useless person. Don't get anxious and angry."
Chen Jingxu disagreed. "What good is it if you have ambition but no ability to match it? The mud that is barely supported on the wall will slide down sooner or later."
Chen Qi was optimistic about Chu Xuanhan. "He is still capable. Apart from anything else, his ability to disguise himself is much better than that of King Jin."
Chen Jingxu sneered, "Prince Jin is a fool. None of these princes and princes can compare to him. He just got a good birth."
Prince Jin was born into a powerful maternal family that could support him, which made him arrogant, but he was also a simple-minded person.
Chen Qi didn't care much, "Forget it, Prince Qi can change people, Leng Feng is one of his own anyway, he can change Leng Feng first."
***
The next day.
It’s the day when Yuchi returns home in the bright moon.
Chu Xuanhan naturally had to accompany her to the General’s Mansion.
Mo Yaohua had also dressed up and went out with Jinqiu and Nanny Wu.
Although she was just a concubine, the prince's concubine was different from the concubines of ordinary families, and she could also return to her parents' home.
However, she could only bring the return gift from Prince Qi's Mansion back to the Shangshu Mansion by herself, and Chu Xuanhan could not accompany her.
In Prince Yu's Mansion, Mo Zhaohua had just finished taking care of the household affairs. Although she was in charge of the household affairs, many things were still left to the housekeeper.
Firstly, she had her own things to do and didn't have time to do everything herself, and secondly, the housekeeper should also share the burden.
She asked Amber to prepare ginseng soup in advance, and when she was done she would go to the study to bring it to Chu Xuanchi. If she didn't go, she would ask Huaying to deliver it.
She has always been cautious and careful in taking care of Chu Xuanchi's health, and she was really worried about leaving it to the court physician to treat him.
Chu Xuanchi took the soup bowl she handed over, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Zhao Zhao came to deliver the ginseng soup in person, but is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Mo Zhaohua smiled and sat down on the chair next to him. "No, I just missed my husband and came to see him."
Shuying joked, "As the poem says, one day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. My princess is missing you so much after not seeing you for just a moment."
Mo Zhaohua was already familiar with him, and smiled and said, "That's right, our prince is so kind, I have to miss him."
Chu Xuanchi finished drinking the ginseng soup, his face flushed slightly, "Zhao Zhao is always good at coaxing me."
Mo Zhaohua threw him a coquettish look, "My love for you is stronger than gold, but you don't believe me?"
"Believe it, I believe it!" Chu Xuanchi held her soft lips and kissed her, "I believe every word Zhao Zhao said!"
Wuying quickly gave Shuying a look, then stood up and made an excuse that he had something to do, and left the study room together with her.
The master has been busy for so long, it's time for him to take a break and flirt with his mistress. How could they just stand by and watch?
Mo Zhaohua calculated the time and guessed that Mo Yaohua should be on the way. "I would like to go back to the Shangshu Mansion today to take a look."
Chu Xuanchi reacted very quickly, "But do you want to go and watch your concubine's sister's show?"
Mo Zhaohua chuckled and shook her head, "No, I was just worried that the fire in the mansion wasn't burning strong enough, so I wanted to add some fuel to the fire."
Yuchi Jiuyue is the knife she uses to deal with Mo Yaohua, and Mo Yaohua is the sharp blade she uses to take revenge on Madam Mo.
Chu Xuanchi was afraid that she would suffer a loss, "I will go back with Zhao Zhao, so that Mo Yun, that old man, won't bully you again."
"Forget it. There are still people in the mansion. They know what to do." Mo Zhaohua really didn't like going to the Shangshu Mansion.
"Are you referring to the Qiao family?" Chu Xuanchi had an excellent memory. He still remembered the day of Rong Qing's divorce, and he also remembered Aunt Qiao.
Mo Zhaohua's eyes lit up, "Not only that, there is also Aunt Liu beside the old lady. She is a truly smart person."
***
The general who guards the country.
Yuchi Changgong received the visiting card yesterday and knew the exact time of return today, so he waited outside in advance.
As soon as the carriage from Prince Qi's mansion arrived, they all knelt down and greeted them, just like the day Mo Zhaohua returned home.
Chu Xuanhan and Yuchi Jiuyue got off the carriage, entered the mansion with the people from the general's mansion, and went to the main hall to drink tea and chat.
Yuchi Changgong was extremely satisfied with Chu Xuanhan and naturally wanted to keep him in his house for lunch. The father-in-law and son-in-law had a very pleasant conversation in the main hall.
Yuchi Jiuyue and Xu left after just a while. The man had his own topics to talk about, and the mother and daughter also wanted to talk about some private matters.
Arriving at Xu's courtyard, she took Yuchi Jiuyue's hand and asked with a smile, "Princess, how are you doing in the palace? Is His Highness treating you well?"
"The prince is very good, but the concubine is not a person who can be taken care of easily." Yuchi Jiuyue's voice turned cold when he mentioned Mo Yaohua.
Xu's expression became more serious, and she looked even more shrewd. "Oh? She just entered the mansion, and she's already using some tricks?"
Yuchi Jiyue pouted and complained, "Mother, you don't know how much injustice your daughter suffered on her wedding day..."
She told him everything about the accident during the tea service, which caused Prince Qi to come home late at night, and how their bridal chamber was interrupted by Mo Yaohua.
After hearing this, Xu's eyes dimmed slightly. "Serving tea can be said to be a plot, but the stomachache at night was obviously a deliberate interruption of your good fortune."
"The prince has already found out about the tea ceremony. There is indeed something wrong. I asked Yicui to give her some jewelry as an apology, but she is still not satisfied."
"She is just a concubine's daughter. If she is not a mother with a son, how can she be promoted to concubine? Do you still expect me to apologize to her in person?"
As Yuchi Jiuyue's maid, Yicui was naturally loyal to her. After returning yesterday, she told Mo Yaohua the truth about her reaction.
"Princess, I figured out something yesterday. The plan of the Princess's Mansion in the past may not be as simple as we thought."
For the sake of her daughter's happiness and status, Xu put a lot of thought into it and thought carefully about everything related to Mo Yaohua.
Yuchi Jiuyue's expression turned serious. "Isn't it just Mo Yaohua's plan? Is there something else going on?"
Xu frowned and said, "It's too coincidental. If it's really a conspiracy, it's not just Mo Yaohua, there must be someone helping."
"It's impossible for Mo Zhaohua, because she almost became a scapegoat, and it's impossible for Minister Mo to reach into the Princess's Mansion."
Yuchi Jiyue said thoughtfully: "Who else would help her? Wait... I've got it, could it be the prince?"
