The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 5: King Cheng Breaks Off the Engagement
"I think the handwriting is very good. Your Majesty, please take a look at it." The old lady asked the maid to present the birthday greeting to Your Majesty Zheng.
Everyone was stunned. The old lady said Chu Heyi's handwriting was good? How is that possible!
Concubine Zheng also didn't believe it. She signaled her maid to unfold the rice paper and look at it with everyone. She saw the following words written on it: [The sunset glows brilliantly and the fallen petals are beautiful. People should not go beyond the rules in the golden autumn.]
Seventy years old is the age of seventy, also known as "the age of not exceeding the rules", which means that when people reach seventy, they can do whatever they want without exceeding the rules.
The content is good, but the writing is better.
Chu Heyi wrote in cursive script. His strokes were vigorous and powerful, floating like clouds, and there was no hindrance in the lines. Not only was his writing as good as that of a man who had studied hard for ten years, but he was even better than them!
Although the woman was not proud of her academic knowledge, people around her couldn't help but admire and recognize Chu Heyi when they saw her write such beautiful characters.
Moreover, Chu Heyi said that he started learning to read and write after returning to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but he achieved such results in such a short time. How could it not attract people's attention and surprise?
Even Dongfang Shuo's eyes flashed with a bright light.
The old lady was all smiles. She took Chu Heyi's hand and said with a smile, "He is really a smart child."
As he spoke, he took off the spicy green icy jadeite in his hand and gave it to Chu Heyi.
Not only is the jade bracelet of excellent color, but it is also delicate and smooth, and it is obviously a rare item at first glance.
Chu Heyi hurriedly said, "It is the responsibility of the younger generation to celebrate the old lady's birthday. How dare I ask for a gift from the old lady?"
"I like you very much, child. If I give it to you, just take it. If you refuse again, I will be unhappy."
Chu Heyi no longer refused and immediately thanked him.
In her previous life, she was dressed very ugly, and the shimmering colors made people mistakenly think that she was a show-off. She gave everyone a very bad first impression. The old lady and the imperial concubine only spoke to her aunt and Chu Runxue, and simply greeted her, and that was all.
But in this life, everything is different.
Although she didn't care whether Concubine Zheng and the old lady liked her, she would naturally resist if someone wanted to damage her reputation.
Chu Runxue walked up to her, took her arm, and smiled softly, "It's a good idea. I'm really happy for you."
Although Chu Heyi surprised her and made her a little unhappy, Chu Runxue was not very angry.
Once a smart woman works hard, she can surpass men. If she is like this, Chu Heyi can certainly do the same.
It’s just a pity that there is only one marriage with Dongfang Shuo, and Chu Heyi is destined to stand on the opposite side of her.
She won't give up this marriage.
Only if she becomes Dongfang Shuo's princess, will the world be better, the lives of the people of the world be better, and the status of women be improved.
She has lofty ideals. If Chu Heyi blocks her way, she can only get rid of him. She hopes Chu Heyi can recognize herself as soon as possible and stop dreaming.
Chu Heyi smiled sweetly at her, like a little girl who got candy, pure and bright: "I'm happy too."
Concubine Zheng said, "Shuo'er, this is Heyi's first time at the Duke's Mansion, take her for a stroll in the garden."
Dongfang Shuo said yes, then strode up to Chu Heyi and made a "please" gesture.
Chu Heyi finally had the chance to take a good look at the man in front of her. In her previous life, she had no such opportunity at all and was discredited by Dongfang Shuo and Chu Runxue.
He was tall, and as a prince who had been on the battlefield, he had the sturdy and strong build of a warrior. His noble birth and the brocade clothes he wore made him look extremely noble. In addition, he had a very handsome face, and countless women in Shengjing flocked to him.
But it was this man who, in his previous life, listened to Chu Runxue's words, forced her and Xie Lin to death, and buried alive the elderly, the weak, the women and the children of the Chu and Xie families.
Hatred grows in the heart.
Chu Heyi smiled faintly: "Dongfang Shuo, we meet again. Let's see who will win in this life."
"He Yi, you can go to the garden with Prince Cheng without worry. My aunt and I will stay here to talk to the old lady and the imperial concubine. You don't have to worry." Chu Runxue's gentle voice came from the side.
She looked at Dongfang Shuo and smiled, "Your Highness, please take good care of my sister."
"I will take good care of her, Xue'er, don't worry." When Dongfang Shuo looked at Chu Runxue, his eyes were tender and he wanted to stick to Chu Runxue and not want to leave for a long time.
The breeze was warm, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, with a fragrant aroma. A stream ran through the garden, bringing the sound of gurgling water, and fish in the stream were swimming happily.
After entering the garden, Dongfang Shuo asked the numerous maids and servants not to follow him, as he wanted to talk to Chu Heyi alone.
Chu Heyi asked, "What instructions does His Royal Highness King Cheng have?"
Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips and said, "Your handwriting is very good, and you have read "Female Rules" and "Internal Training". You will definitely be a good mistress in the future and be on equal terms with your husband."
Chu Heyi said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I will."
Dongfang Shuo's eyebrows twitched, and he was a little displeased with Chu Heyi's lack of modesty. He said in a much more serious tone: "You can look around later and see which man you like. I can ask my father to grant you a marriage!"
Oh, so he was asking her not to hit on him!
Chu Heyi said: "Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. You and I have been engaged since we were young. Now that I am back, I will naturally marry you."
"How shameless!" Dongfang Shuo felt that she was too shameless to actually say to his face that she wanted to marry him? After all, she grew up in the countryside, how could she be so shameless!
"My childhood sweetheart is Runxue. I will never marry you! Don't let your dreams fool you!"
Chu Heyi asked, "So, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng wants to cancel the engagement?"
Dongfang Shuo took a step forward and looked down at her. "You have only been back to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion for ten days, and you have already learned to read and write. This must be to make me look at you differently today. But I tell you, even if you are well-educated and beautiful, there is only Runxue in my heart."
"Then please ask Your Highness Prince Cheng to cancel the engagement." Chu Heyi did not argue.
But Dongfang Shuo's face looked very ugly. When his mother was pregnant with him, she was harmed by a villain and almost died in a sea of fire. It was Chu Heyi's mother who stepped forward and saved his mother.
The emperor made the final decision. Regardless of gender, all the children born to my mother and the concubine would be married to the children born to Chu Zhen and his wife when they grow up.
Now Chu Heyi's mother is dead, the descendants of the Song family have been guarding the border for nearly a hundred years, and the two legitimate sons of the Zhenbei Marquisate died in the battlefield. Chu Heyi has been wandering in the countryside for fifteen years and has finally been found back. But when he proposed to cancel the engagement when he became the king's mansion, wouldn't he be cursed by the whole world?
"I don't want to say anything too harsh, and Runxue doesn't bother to compete with you. Although she is a woman, she cares about her country and the world. You can't compare with her. If you don't want to humiliate yourself, you should take the initiative to withdraw from this marriage."
Chu Heyi just found it funny. They wanted the benefits, but she had to bear the bad reputation.
She looked into Dongfang Shuo's eyes and said calmly, "What if I don't?"
