The Queen Mother summoned Chu Yizhao to the palace, but Chu Huai refused on the grounds that he was ill. In fact, Chu Yizhao was indeed ill. After that day, he was drowsy and had a fever for three days, and he had diarrhea and vomiting...

These days, she always dreams about her past life, about broken arms and legs, and about the rotting bodies of the guards...

Dreamed that she could not take revenge and was stabbed to death by Chu Huai

Wake up in shock and then fall asleep, fall asleep and wake up in shock again...

After three days, her round oval face became much thinner.

Seeing her like this, Chu Huai's suspicions gradually faded, and on the third day he gave in and asked Chu Yizhao to bring the servant back home as soon as possible and not to bother King Liang anymore.

Chu Yizhao finally let go of her worries. She had done her best to show her ability. Chu Huai let go, and Chu Yizhao also kept a wary eye on him.

"Prince Liang is very thoughtful. He is worried that the servants in the palace will not be able to take good care of the children. He wants to keep the two of them for a while. Even if they just stand by, the prince can rest assured..."

Chu Huai nodded meaningfully.

"Then I'll listen to your Majesty..."

After Chu Huai left, Chu Yunxu came to see her once, and Chu Yunyu also came over once, hinting in their words that Prince Liang and the Queen Mother hoped that she would consider the Marquis' Mansion more.

He was always like this, appearing selfless and making requests of her in a high-sounding manner.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the hereditary titles of kings and marquises could be inherited by the eldest son, who could petition to be named Crown Prince when he turned sixteen.

Emperor Yuan'an suppressed the second prince in previous years, so naturally he would not approve this letter of request. Due to the delays, Chu Yunyu was already 21 years old and still a white man.

He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take advantage of Wei Xingche's favorable situation to secure his position as the Crown Prince and his Crown Princess at the same time.

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet after the Autumn Examination, a Crown Princess will be selected for the Crown Prince. If there is a woman with outstanding talent and virtue, she will also be chosen for the prince or the lord of a royal family.

There is a huge difference in the weight of a prince's wife and an official's wife. In order to choose a wife with a strong family background, Chu Yunyu has dragged on until now and has not gotten married.

If it doesn't work out, it will just become an old thing and no one will want it anymore.

In the previous life, Chu Yingxue should have been awarded the title of Princess at the Hundred Flowers Banquet and married to Qi Heng...

Chu Yizhao frowned, as if something was wrong...

"Zhao'er, my brother is talking to you, did you hear me?"

Chu Yunyu was a little displeased when he saw that she was distracted.

"Brother, I have a terrible headache," Chu Yizhao muttered. The old ones left and the young ones came, and there was no peace for a moment...

Chu Yunyu was the one who treated her relatively well among the four brothers of the Chu family. It was not because of their brotherly and sisterly love, but because no matter how much trouble she and Chu Yingxue made, she would eventually marry someone else and add strength to his Quyang Marquis Mansion.

The young lady from the Marquis's Mansion would naturally not marry down.

One more sister means one more powerful brother-in-law.

Just at the end…

Chu Yizhao began to feel nauseous again. He couldn't eat for the past few days. There was only medicine and acid in his stomach, and he vomited very painfully.

Seeing that she was really upset, Chu Yunyu didn't force her anymore. He just gave her some instructions and left.

In the middle of the night, all the lights in the backyard of Quyang Marquis' Mansion were turned off. People who had been busy all day fell into a deep sleep, while those who should have been sleeping started to get busy.

"Why did you come just now~"

The sweet voice was mixed with a hint of seduction, which made the man's lower abdomen tighten. The man's big hands pinched the soft waist, and his voice was magnetic and hoarse, "Slut, can't wait?"

"Your father is watching you closely. Do you know how hard it is for me to sneak in? Serve me well today and I will bring you something good tomorrow."

The big hand squeezed hard, and the woman's short cry turned into a charming moan.

The creepy monster was so scared that it fell off the roof and crawled to the other side in panic.

After Chu Yizhao recovered, he immediately went to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager was over sixty years old. She was dignified, graceful, elegant and noble. She wore an intricate and gorgeous palace dress, with layers of embroidered patterns of golden phoenixes and rising suns.

The superiors who hold the power of life and death all year round can give people a sense of oppression even if they smile kindly.

It was such a person who gave her endless honor and care, and loved her so much that even after her death, he still provided protection for her family.

The Queen Mother held Chu Yizhao's hand and said distressedly,

"Amin, you've lost weight."

"I heard you were ill for three days? How did the people in the mansion take care of you?"

As she was about to punish them, Chu Yizhao quickly pulled her back and said, "They are all fine. It's just that people who eat grains and cereals will inevitably get sick."

"You just spoil them too much, and they are all putting pressure on you"

Chu Yizhao leaned quietly on the empress dowager's lap, his eyes sore. Yes, it was not just about pressing on the head, peeling off the skin and bones, sucking the blood and drinking the flesh, not even a healthy corpse was left.

"The emperor is offering sacrifices to the heavens to pray for blessings. It is a major national event. I have to go with him. It is a pity that I missed your birthday."

Chu Yizhao looked up. The empress dowager was extremely beautiful when she was young. After she was appointed as the queen, she was favored by all the other harems. After the late emperor got this beauty, he never entered the palace of other concubines.

She is truly so beautiful that all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison.

Although she is old and ugly now, her eyes and eyebrows still have the charm of the past...

"What's the big deal? Birthdays happen every year."

Besides, it’s not even certain whether it’s her birthday.

"How is that the same? The age of 15 is a major event in a girl's life. It means that our Ah Ming has grown from a little girl to a big lady, graceful and elegant, without worries or fears."

The Queen Mother caressed the girl's hair lovingly.

Chu Yizhao looked at the beautiful pair of eyes. He was clearly looking at her, but his gaze avoided her eyes and wandered around, as if he was looking through her at another person.

The Queen Mother treated her very well, but she never dared to make any demands. Firstly, she had no desires to begin with, and secondly, she discovered that the Queen Mother did not like her at all.

This favor is too superficial, and I am terrified, afraid that if I am not like that person in any way, it will bring disaster upon myself.

Now she understood that false favor was also love. If she became the person the empress dowager liked, she would always be protected.

"Your Majesty, you can choose another day to celebrate Ah Ming's birthday. My fourth brother and I celebrate our birthdays together every year anyway, so there's no point in that."

Chu Yizhao said angrily,

The Queen Mother was startled, nodded at her twice, and said with a smile, "You, you, how can you change your birthday at will? It's really unreasonable."

"Queqiu, bring the things up."

Queqiu was holding a box, the entire box was black, and in the middle of each surface was inlaid with large green emeralds, which looked elegant and luxurious.

The box was opened, revealing a set of pure gold lotus pedestals. The rich and golden light almost blinded Chu Yizhao's eyes...

"Queen Mother...this...this is..."

"A birthday gift for you"

"Ah! It's for me!" Chu Yizhao raised his voice excitedly and hugged the large lacquer box in front of him. It had been such a long time since his birthday, but he still received a gift.

People in the royal family are indeed wealthy and powerful.

"Pfft" Queqiu covered his mouth and laughed, and the Queen Mother also laughed, "Look, I said this girl likes it. What rare imperial book is not as real as this big piece of gold."

"The good-for-nothing little money-grubber"

"Hehe," Chu Yizhao nodded happily, "I like them all, I like them all. Whatever the Queen Mother gives me, Ah Ming likes it all."

Queqiu laughed and joked, "It seems that this gift really touched the girl's heart."

As she spoke, she took out the lotus stand from the lacquer box. It was more like a lotus pond than a lotus stand, with a round table top and a large golden lotus blooming in the middle. Below the golden lotus were carved fish and water patterns. The carving was exquisite and looked lifelike.

"Buddhists have a blue lotus with twelve petals on its leaves and twenty-four petals on its flowers, which is called the Creation."

"A girl's coming of age is the first major event in her life, and she must have a good start. The Queen Mother hopes that the girl's future life will be smooth, healthy, bright and open, and everything will be as she wishes."

The more Chu Yizhao listened, the more moved he became, and the more uncomfortable he felt. His eyes were red and misty. Such favor was probably something that no prince or princess in the palace had the blessing of.

The gold is real, but the heart is even more real.

Chu Yizhao suddenly thought that it would be better for him to live with the Queen Mother. If there were any slanders, she would chop down all the people in Quyang Marquis's mansion...
