female concubine

The prince's words surprised the king of Chu, he looked at him with hesitant eyes, and immediately cupped his hands, "Yes."

The king of Chu walked a few steps, then turned around and said: "If you have a heart, you can see it. If you don't see it, your highness might as well reflect on it, why!"

This sentence was only said by her on behalf of her elder sister. The king of Chu did not salute the prince when he left this time.

As far as the garden that the prince mentioned just now, there are two women sitting leaning on the railing of the promenade in the whole garden, dressed luxuriously and with excellent temperament.

"Your Highness doesn't want to see her, so she came."

The Crown Princess looked at Princess Chu in shock, because she was facing the King of Chu, so she saw the King of Chu entering, but Princess Chu should not have been able to see it because she was facing the King of Chu. When approaching, there was a very faint floral fragrance, which was very similar to that of Princess Chu.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be suspicious. Youqing saw her through His Highness's eyes."

It was only then that the Crown Princess noticed that Princess Chu also had herself in her eyes.

Then the king of Chu approached, "Your Highness, the crown prince said that the banquet is about to start, and ordered the minister to call you back to host it."

What Xiao Youqing didn't expect was that it was the Crown Prince who asked the King of Chu to come, so Xiao Youqing stood up, "The Prince must have a lot to say to His Highness the Crown Princess, concubine..."

Before she finished speaking, the person next to her grabbed her arm, Xiao Youqing raised her head in a daze, looked at her slightly red face and knew that she had drunk a lot of wine, so she stretched out her hand to fiddle with her forehead. A few strands of messy hair, "The concubine has only been away for a short while, and the prince can't control himself?" Then he patted the back of her hand lightly, "The concubine is waiting for the prince outside the courtyard."

After Zhiren left, the king of Chu turned around and bowed his head to the princess.

"Princess Chu is a good girl. I fell in love with her from the first moment I saw her. Liu Lang must treat her well in the future."

The King of Chu stared blankly at the Crown Princess, and it took him a long time to reply: "From the first time I saw her during the wedding, I also fell in love with her, but my liking is different from your Highness's!"

"At first glance...does she know?"

"She didn't know, because the minister only found out later!"

The princess got up, walked slowly into the courtyard, stretched out her hand and stroked the bushes gently.

The king of Chu followed cautiously, not daring to get too close, nor too far away, he kept aloof, "The reason why I wanted to compete first was because of my second brother..."

"So now, is it her?"

"Yes, the second brother is motivated, and she is my determination!" King Chu stopped and looked at the back of the princess, "I will not let the prince go, but not because of the second brother."

The crown princess turned around and looked at the king of Chu who was already much taller than herself, "You were scruples earlier because I was in the East Palace?"

The King of Chu did not deny it, nodded and said, "Yes."

He said again: "But the crown prince hurt her, so I won't soften my heart. As for Your Highness, I will find a way to protect His Highness, no matter if His Highness treats me as a younger brother, or just because I have the same appearance as Second Brother, at least His Highness The meticulous care for the minister has kept the minister from falling to the bottom, and the minister is grateful in his heart, and regards you as the closest person!"

The dearest person, when the crown princess heard it, she was still a little relieved. She lost her parents since she was a child, and she was in the palace. Sister, "Actually, I have one thing. I haven't figured it out after thinking about it for many years."

"Your Highness, don't you understand?"

"Although you don't like to talk, you are a filial and sensible child. Why is the imperial concubine so cold? Maybe it's not coldness. I saw a kind of fear in her eyes. Is it because of this kind of fear that she alienated you? "

"Mother, she has never had any desire to compete with others. Her eyes have always been on His Majesty. All she wants is for the Li family to be stable. She will be afraid, and it should be. There are some things that I cannot tell His Majesty. ,"

The Crown Princess stared at the King of Chu, her eyes trembled slightly, and she sighed, "If you don't say it, you always have your own reasons."

The princess slowly approached, "You know her well, but it's not easy to stay together. There will be many ups and downs in the process, and mutual trust is the most important thing. Don't always think that you are here for her." Words on the lips."

"I understand." King Chu lowered his head, "Every time I listen to my sister's talk, I always feel that I benefit a lot more than Master's lecture."

"Because men and women think, think, and feel differently. I just stand on my side and tell you what I feel."

The King of Chu lowered his head slightly, put his hands together and said, "I will spend my whole life practicing it until I sleep forever!"

------

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Yuan of Chu Wang suffered a serious illness, and the entire Chu Palace was in a state of tension.

The Hanlin medical envoy had just finished taking the pulse, and the king of Chu grabbed him aside and asked, "How is the princess?"

"Six kings don't need to be nervous, the princess is fine, just rest for a few days and she will be fine."

The King of Chu was still frowning, "How could you faint?"

The medical officer lowered his head hesitantly, as if it was difficult to speak.

"Uncle, are you going to hide it from me, too?"

"I don't dare!" The medical officer hurriedly said, and then looked at the bed beside him, slightly raised his brows and asked: "The previous time, the first princess was injured to the root, and it can't be recovered within a year or two. and..."

The king of Chu looked at the expression of the medical officer, and immediately changed his expression, "Uncle Sun should know, right?"

The medical envoy nodded, "Yes, I only noticed the pulse today. With the medical skills of Doctor Yang, I must have discovered it that day." Speaking of this, the medical officer said: "But don't worry, my lord, my concubine. He is not a weak person, but after such a big change, his body has recovered beyond ordinary, so the issue of heirs is not absolute."

The medical officer meant that Princess Chu is very likely to recover, "I have heard people say that a woman giving birth is like a gate of hell. Even if the medical sage Yang Taiyi is there, she can't be sure. all good!"

The medical envoy nodded and said: "That's true, Yu Shi Zhongcheng's eldest son and bride were not spared, one dead body and two lives!"

"Censor Zhongcheng's eldest son?" King Chu was shocked and said, "Didn't he just get married last year? It was not long after this king came back. Why is there no news about such a big event in Beijing?"

The medical envoy shook his head and sighed, "It coincides with His Royal Highness's birthday, how dare you report the funeral."

The medical officer said again: "However, the princess is blessed and equal to the sky, and her life veins are extremely strong. If she takes good care of her, she will surely live a long life."

King Chu nodded, "Uncle is in charge of the Imperial Academy now..."

"My lord, don't worry, the next official will take over from Imperial Physician Yang and manage the Imperial Academy well."

The King of Chu immediately said seriously: "The king will be transferred out of the capital soon. Princess Chu has not recovered from her serious illness, so the imperial physician will come to the house more often."

"Your Majesty understands."

----------

In July of the eighth year of Jianping, to pursue the responsibility of the six sons of the emperor for wrongful trial, he was sent out of Fengxiang Mansion on Qinfeng Road to replace Qishan County Magistrate of Fufeng County.

Three days later.

The emperor stared at the map on the screen, and turned around immediately, "The documents should be delivered to your mansion now, I have already sent someone to send the transfer order to Qinfeng Road, except for the transfer envoy, there is no one in the whole Fengxiang Mansion Knowing that the new Qishan county magistrate is the current prince, Qishan is a good place," the emperor approached King Chu, leaned over and patted her on the shoulder, "I look forward to, Qishan county magistrate, your performance!"

The King of Chu closed his eyes and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, thank you for your decree!"

The emperor stood up straight with his hands on his hips, looked down at the king of Chu, and smiled slightly, "I'll give you another night, go back and say goodbye to the bride!"

"Yes."

"After you leave, I will send people to visit the Chu Palace from time to time, so you don't need to worry."

The words that seemed to be admonishing and threatening made King Chu clenched his fist under the pillow on his forehead, "Yes!"

"Don't go back before dinner, I will send someone to the palace to inform you." The emperor turned and waved, "Go to your mother's place!"

The King of Chu raised his head, eyes full of hatred, "Yes."

The documents sealed by the imperial court were sent to the Chu Palace early in the morning. The Chu King went to the palace to ask An Shishan had not yet returned. Before lunch, a palace official from the palace went out to the Chu Palace to inform that the Chu King was left in the Zhaohua Pavilion. It takes night to return.

"I've never heard of the prince being sent to such a remote place as a county magistrate... Isn't your majesty clearly bullying my uncle?"

"My uncle didn't do anything, why are you so unwelcoming!"

Those who didn't think about food and drink waited until sunset, when the south wind gradually blew up at the gate of the palace, and then there was a sound of horseshoes.

"The king of Chu is back!"

Xiao Youqing woke up from her sleepiness, and when she saw Xiqiu push the door in, she asked, "Are you back?"

"If you go back to the girl, come back, will you still use this dinner?"

Xiao Youqing got up and walked out, looking at the dark sky, "Go down first, tell the kitchen not to use it."

"Yes."

As soon as the King of Chu was admitted to the hospital, he stopped and stood still, because he saw Xiao You standing quietly in the middle of the courtyard, and he could see a little worry on the brow from a distance, so he remembered the document that the emperor said in the morning, she must have read it This is only the case after the transfer order, the king of Chu took a deep breath and waved to the people behind him.

Then he walked towards her quickly and said worriedly: "It's windy outside, why did my sister come out?"

"My concubine's body is almost in good shape. Besides, it's such a hot day, how can she be so delicate." Xiao Youqing sighed again: "Yuan Ling said it was the beginning of the month, but it really is the beginning of the month!"

"What Yuanling said must have been told by Qi Qilang. How could Qi Qilang be in front of the imperial court every day, how could he not know."

"The reassignment of an official is considered a major national event. A person like Han Si would actually tell the Yuanling County Lord."

The King of Chu smiled slightly and said, "People can't speculate by looking at their appearance. Maybe this kind of person is more easy-going when he looks more difficult to approach. Look at me?" The smile didn't hide the reluctance in his eyes, The person who laughed at Xiao Youqing quietly stared at Xiao Youqing, and immediately reached out to stroke her face, "Tomorrow...I'm leaving."

Xiao Youqing didn't feel much abnormal when he heard the word tomorrow, he just nodded slightly, "All the things are ready, and they are placed in the backyard. You can go and have a look, lest there be any omissions, or you still have to take them with you." what go?"

King Chu just shook his head lightly and didn't speak.

"I've prepared everything I can think of. I'm afraid it's too late. You'd better order it yourself." Xiao Youqing took her hand.

"Don't my sister know what I want to take away most, what else is there besides that!"

The person who wanted to take her to the backyard, but when he heard her answer, his heart was filled with soreness, he suddenly turned around and buried himself in her arms, and asked tremblingly, "When is tomorrow?"

"Fifth watch, when the key is released at the city gate."

Xiao Youqing clutched her skirt tightly.

The king of Chu reached out and hugged her tightly, "He gave a deadline, and he was going to leave tonight." Then he let go and retreated gently, "Before I leave, I have a few things to explain, before sunset..." She Glancing at the setting sun, it was about to enter a new watch.

Today's wind is very strong, but it still can't blow away the heat, "Be sure to come back before Haishi!"
