Chapter 81(1/2)

The more Chu Yunning showed no concern, the more she felt as if King Xiao had a bad thought in his heart. He didn't want to be looked down upon and insisted on marrying Li Shangshu's legitimate daughter Li Shanshan as Princess Xiao.

Queen Gong didn't say anything for a long time and was a little embarrassed. She looked at Chu Yunning again: "Chu Shanggong, you really plan..."

"Empress, I have no intention of this, thank you for your kindness." Chu Yunning refused very happily.

So when the atmosphere of the three of them was awkward, Queen Gong nodded and agreed to the point of anger.

, immediately made the decision to give the marriage to King Xiao.

"I congratulate King Xiao for winning the beauty, and wish King Xiao would get a noble son soon." Chu Yunning was generous and congratulated at the first time, with a bright smile on his face, without any sadness or anger. This smile made Queen Gong and King Xiao feel panicked.

Could it be that Chu Yunning really doesn’t care about anything?

No, it must be a disguise!

Queen Gong still refused to believe it and vowed to tear down Chu Yunning's disguise, so she said: "Chu Shanggong is a member of the harem and has had a connection with the Xiao Wang Mansion. This palace ordered you to go to the Li Shangshu Mansion to talk about the birth dates of King Xiao and Li Shanshan, and choose a suitable time."

After asking an ex-wife to talk, the palace queen could do it. Chu Yunning generously accepted it: "I obey the order."

"It's not too late, let's go today." Empress Gong found an excuse and gave Li Shanshan a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, meaning that dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and asked Chu Yunning to forward them on his behalf.

Chu Yunning took the brocade box and checked it and confirmed it was correct. After putting it in, he left the palace directly, as if he was afraid that the palace queen would regret it.

"You can't wait?" King Xiao chased after him unwillingly, staring at Chu Yunning's face, trying to find something.

"Does Prince Xiao regret it?" Chu Yunning raised her head and asked, she knew that King Xiao could not stand the most agitation method. King Xiao took a deep breath and grabbed Chu Yunning's arm: "Don't talk to me here. I'll have enough trouble, and I should have the anger gone. I am willing to go with the emperor..."

"Prince Xiao!" Chu Yunning interrupted King Xiao in time with a serious look on his face; "A gentleman's words are as good as he can, let alone the imperial edict has been issued, and the fate between us has ended."

"Is this really going to happen?"

Chu Yunning nodded without hesitation. From the day she came over, she could not accept King Xiao.

It would be nice not to settle the score with him.

King Xiao showed embarrassment on his face, gritted his teeth and brushed his sleeves away, leaving only an angry back for Chu Yunning.

Chu Yunning disagreed. After leaving the palace, he ran directly to the Li Shangshu Mansion to explain his purpose. Mrs. Li Shangshu was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, she did not make things difficult for her. It was the queen's order. Li Shangshu Mansion could only agree with a smile and accepted the Dragon and Phoenix Pendant.

"The Queen means that the sooner the marriage between the two families, the better."

Mrs. Li was slightly stunned. According to her daughter's identity, she was not enough to be the main concubine. She was also the main concubine of King Xiao. However, King Xiao had a fuss a few days ago. The real daughter of the noble clan would not marry King Xiao again.

Therefore, the legitimate daughter of Shangshu is not considered a high-spirited person as Princess Xiao.

The two hit it off and decided on the next day, the eighth day of next month.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Li, the royal family will not be wronged. I will go back to the palace to report and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare as soon as possible."

Mrs. Li Shangshu smiled embarrassedly, always feeling something strange. She helped Princess Li talk about her current marriage with her ex-husband. This was the first time she had met her so old.

"Then it's time for Chu Shang Palace."

"You are kind to Mrs. Li."

Chu Yunning left the Li family again, and took advantage of the time to go back to the Chu family and asked someone to inform Mrs. Chu. After a while, Mrs. Chu came, and her eyes turned red when she saw her and she cried.

It was only gradually calmed down under Chu Yunning's comfort.

Mrs. Chu looked up and down at Chu Yunning and sighed: "It's like accompanying you as a tiger. This road is a bit difficult, so you should pay attention to safety."

"Mom, don't worry!"

Chu Yunning reported good news to Mrs. Chu and did not say anything else to worry her. Chu Yunning left half an hour later.

"Master, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Chu Yunning shook his head; "Go to Yisi Building again!"

Although there were trustworthy people outside staring at Yisilou, she still wanted to go and see it. Standing on the shore, looking at the once glorious Yihong Building, the Yisilou next door was full of success and felt a sense of accomplishment. When she saw the bill, the smile on Chu Yunning's face could not resist it.

So when I returned to the palace, my smile was confiscated. I went to the queen's harem to report before it was dark, and waited for a while before the queen came out: "The queen has suffered an old illness, so it is not convenient to see Chu Shanggong for the time being. Chu Shanggong will report it tomorrow."

"yes!"

After a day of hard work, I returned to Qingluan Hall. Beibei was sitting on the soft collapse and pieced together a pair of giant building blocks, like a ship.

"This is sent by the emperor." When Beibei saw Chu Yunning coming back, he immediately put down the building blocks in his hand to welcome him and said with a smile: "The Master told me a lot of stories today, which I think is very helpful."

Beibei is like a newly opened door to world cognition, sharing what he has learned with Chu Yunning in a novel way.

"Mom, I like uncle very much."

Emperor Mingwen accompanied Beibei for an afternoon, loving and patient. Every time Beibei asked questions, the other party could answer them in a simplified manner and not perfunctory manner at all, which made Beibei feel respected.

Chu Yunning touched Beibei's head. His son was still not well-educated and did not understand the sinister world. He could not bear to hit Beibei's innocence in his heart. So he smiled and said, "The emperor must be a very powerful person who reads a lot of books. You should be more respectful and not be rude."

"Mom, Beibei understands."

Beibei plunged into the patchwork building blocks and had a lot of fun. Chu Yunning didn't disturb him when he saw this and leaned against the soft collapse and squinted his eyes.

This trip was so tired that a uniform breathing sound came soon. Beibei couldn't bear to disturb him when he saw this, so he had to go to the Political Affairs Hall by himself.

When Eunuch Mo saw Beibei coming, he smiled and said, "The Little Prince is here."

"I want to see the uncle."

Emperor Wen of the Political Consultative Hall was handling official duties. When he heard the voice of Beibei, he was in a good mood and asked someone to let him in.

"Uncle Emperor!" Beibei raised the building blocks with both hands and grinned: "I've put it together."

Emperor Mingwen rarely put down the memorial in his hand with great interest, and attracted Beibei to sit beside him, raised his thumbs up and praised him without hesitation, and asked Chu Yunning again.

"My mother fell asleep as soon as she came back."

"Then is your mother sad?"

Beibei raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why do you feel sad? My mother was in a good mood when she came back."

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows. He believed that a child would not lie easily, so the smile on his face became stronger.

"Then King Xiao is going to marry a new wife again. Are you sad?"

Beibei shook his head without hesitation. He had only had several contacts with King Xiao and could not like him. Especially King Xiao often helped bad women bully his mother, so he had no good impression of King Xiao.

"I'm not sad at all, and my mother doesn't like King Xiao." Beibei pouted and hummed, as if I was young, I knew everything: "My mother has said a long time ago that she had committed eight lifetimes of evil before marrying King Xiao."

"Your mother really said that?" Emperor Mingwen laughed and sat on his lap with Beibei in his arms, looking at his cute little face, and said in a good mood: "Let's make an agreement between us, and we are not allowed to tell your mother when we talk today."

Beibei hesitated for a moment.

"I'll let Eunuch Mo take you to the small warehouse later..."

Beibei shook his head: "I know that the emperor doesn't want my mother to get angry when she touches the scene. I'm worried that my mother asked, right?"

Emperor Mingwen touched his nose when he heard this, smiled without saying a word, which was considered a pity. Beibei glanced at Shichen: "Uncle Emperor, I should leave. If my mother can't find it, I should be anxious."

Beibei advanced and retreated properly, but was not greedy, so he was deeply happy that Emperor Mingwen was given a small token before leaving: "You can come to find the uncle of the emperor at any time in the future."

"Okay!" Beibei took it without hesitation, stuffed it into his arms, and grinned at Emperor Mingwen: "Uncle Emperor, you have to eat on time."

Emperor Mingwen was slightly stunned. Looking at Beibei’s back, his emotions were a little complicated for a moment, and he couldn’t tell whether he was moved.

"Come!"

Eunuch Mo entered: "What are the emperor's instructions?"

Emperor Mingwen clicked the memorial on his hand and ordered Eunuch Mo: "Transfer to the meal!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Mo was a little surprised, and he was delighted one after another. Emperor Mingwen's appetite has always been bad, and he rarely eats after dark. He has persuaded him several times, and when he touched Emperor Mingwen's gloomy expression, he dared not say anything more.

After another meeting, someone outside reported: "Emperor, Concubine Mei is here."

According to the schedule, it was Mei Fei who was serving her bed again today. Suddenly, Emperor Mingwen's appetite was lost. He put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Let's withdraw them all."

Eunuch Mo couldn't guess what Emperor Mingwen meant and asked nervously: "Emperor, that Concubine Mei..."

"Prince!"

The next morning, Emperor Mingwen gave Mei Fei a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry, which made people know that Mei Fei was very favored and had been favored for several days in a row.

Concubine Mei is a person who knows how to be grateful. She gave Chu Yunning half of the reward at the first time. Chu Yunning accepted it without hesitation. Since she took on this job, she didn't mind filling her pockets and saved more money to wait for her to leave the palace in the future. She and Beibei have a good life.

At this time, Bi Xiu said, "Miss, the princess is here."

Princess Changyang?

Chu Yunning hurriedly put down what he was doing and asked Bixiu to invite someone in. Princess Changyang walked over with a smile, looking up and down at the scene and objects in the inner hall: "It's better to raise people in the palace. In just a few days, Chu Shang Palace's complexion has been much better than before."

"Princess, please sit down." Chu Yunning poured a cup of tea and handed it to Princess Changyang. She knew that she would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, and the other party was here to urge her to do things.

Princess Changyang was too lazy to beat around the bush. She took a tea and took a sip and then put it down: "Chu Shanggong, when will you do what you promised me before?"

She had been depressed for a long time in the position of princess, and she couldn't wait to restore her identity as the eldest princess.

"It is not possible to help the princess restore her title overnight. It takes some time and even more opportunities."

Princess Changyang raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Do you want to regret it?"

"No, since I promised the princess, how could I go back on my word?"

Seeing that Chu Yunning didn't seem to be telling lies, Princess Changyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just met my grandmother Jing when I entered the palace. The person was just under my nose. Why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

Chu Yunning remained silent.
