Chapter three hundred and forty-eight
"What I want to say is all in this letter. It contains information about Meng Yu and his emotional experience. The eldest princess can understand it after reading it." Sun Yuanqing presented the letter to the eldest princess with both hands.
Chu Huaiyu still looked distant. He took the letter with his slender hands, his expression showed no emotion or anger, and he quickly read the contents of the letter without missing a word.
Because she had been prepared in her mind and had no expectations for Meng Yu, she had already prepared for the worst.
Only then could he remain indifferent when he saw Meng Yu having a falling out with the Wuyang Marquis because of a brothel oiran. He was raising an oiran outside.
As if this is someone else's business and has nothing to do with her.
Sun Yuanqing secretly lamented that the eldest princess was calm, self-possessed and well-educated.
"Isn't the eldest princess angry?" Sun Yuanqing asked curiously, really wanting to see another expression on the eldest princess' cold face.
"He's just an insignificant man, and he's not worthy of being angry with me." Chu Huaiyu didn't let this matter affect his mood.
She was somewhat grateful to Sun Yuanqing. If he hadn't investigated Meng Yu, she might have chosen him as her consort.
"As long as the eldest princess thinks so," Sun Yuanqing replied.
He admired the eldest princess on this point. It seemed that no one or anything could make her interested. She was born with such an indifferent temperament.
However, the more the eldest princess behaved like this, the more tempted he became, and he wanted to think of ways to conquer her.
"Master Sun, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first." Chu Huaiyu said calmly, and left without waiting for Sun Yuanqing to answer.
Sun Yuanqing stopped where he was, looking at the back of the eldest princess with a look of obsession and sighed.
He has helped the eldest princess so much, and he doesn't deserve even a thank you?
Who told him that he just likes such an aloof eldest princess?
Chu Huaiyu planned to go to Qiankun Palace, after all, he had an appointment with the emperor yesterday.
The emperor was so concerned about her affairs that it was hard for her to break the promise.
"I have met the eldest princess." Meng Yu met the eldest princess at the entrance of Qiankun Palace, and first bowed to the eldest princess.
"Yeah." Chu Huaiyu responded distantly, neither of them looking directly at Meng Yu.
Meng Yu knew that the eldest princess had this temperament, so he didn't care.
He was just a little confused, why did the eldest princess appear in the Qiankun Palace? Didn't the emperor announce that she was entering the palace to discuss state affairs?
In the Qiankun Hall, the emperor sat in the top position, and the imperial concubine sat next to him.
The Crown Princess heard about this and came over specifically to help the eldest princess grow her eyes.
Now she saw the high-spirited Meng Yu, and she felt quite satisfied.
"Someone, please give me a seat for the imperial sister." The emperor immediately gave the eldest princess a seat.
Chu Huaiyu was not polite either. She was the most favored by the late emperor during his lifetime, and her favor level was no worse than that of the prince's younger brother.
Now she is the only eldest princess in the Chu Kingdom, and she still receives preferential treatment as the emperor's younger brother.
Among the four people in the Qiankun Palace, the emperor and the concubine sat at the top, and the eldest princess was also given the seat by the emperor. Only the courtier Meng Yu stood aside, feeling the scrutinizing eyes of the emperor and the concubine. He felt quite nervous.
The emperor asked Meng Yu several questions about government affairs, and Meng Yu could answer them fluently.
The imperial concubine also praised Meng Yu very much. The emperor could see that the imperial concubine was satisfied with this person. In addition, Meng Yu was personally selected by the eldest princess as the consort, so he thought that Meng Yu would definitely be the consort.
"What do Meng Aiqing think of the eldest princess?" The emperor hesitated and asked.
This was the first time for him, the emperor, to be a matchmaker, and it was all for the sake of kissing the emperor's sister, so he lowered his face and asked.
Meng Yu was shocked. He did not rely on Marquis Wuyang. He was promoted to the second rank governor within a few years. He was naturally not an ordinary person. It could be said that he was quite smart.
He somewhat understood the emperor's intention, wasn't it to choose a consort for the eldest princess?
I don’t know how many talented people in the capital want this glory. Looking at the eldest princess, she is beautiful and noble. She sits there without saying a word and has a nobility that cannot be ignored.
This is unmatched by the noble ladies of the capital, and even more unmatched by the courtesans of brothels.
If he can become the Prince Consort, then he can also give an explanation to the Marquis of Wuyang, and his official career will be improved to a higher level.
Meng Yu weighed the pros and cons, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Replying to the emperor, the eldest princess is of unparalleled dignity and is not for a lowly official to judge arbitrarily." Meng Yu bowed and replied respectfully.
"Governor Meng and the Ai family think you are a perfect match for the eldest princess, so why not let you be the consort." The Crown Princess immediately agreed.
It is enough to show how anxious she is about the eldest princess's marriage.
"I am honored to be the official. Thank you, Crown Princess, for your kindness." Meng Yu bowed back, his sincere tone filled with joy.
He felt that he was lucky today. In the past, he would not have dared to think of such a noble woman as the eldest princess.
A look of disdain flashed across Chu Huaiyu's cold face.
"I also think that Meng Aiqing and the eldest princess are suitable for each other, so I will issue a decree to marry you." The emperor was also very happy, and his tone was brisk.
"Wait a minute! I don't like this man. Your Majesty will take back your orders." Chu Huaiyu's cold and distant voice sounded in the hall.
As soon as she said this, all three people in the palace looked at her, while the emperor and the concubine were puzzled.
The two of them felt that Meng Yu was the candidate named by the eldest princess as the consort, and his performance today was acceptable.
How do you say that you just changed your mind when you changed your mind?
Meng Yu looked even more disappointed. He asked: How could the noble and noble eldest princess fall in love with him?
"I have sent people to secretly investigate this person. Governor Meng clearly kept a brothel girl as his concubine. If you become the consort, wouldn't I have to share the same husband with a prostitute?" Chu Huaiyu also said.
Don’t save face for Meng Yu.
The second-grade governor is not worth mentioning in front of her. As the eldest princess, she has this capital.
"That's unreasonable! You actually raised a prostitute outside as a wife, which is really disappointing to the Ai family. How could Wu Yanghou raise such a lecherous person like you if he is a righteous man? Fortunately, Yu'er of the Ai family thought carefully and investigated you beforehand.
His character." The Crown Princess looked ugly and stood up from her chair angrily and scolded Meng Yu.
"The concubine calms down, the eldest princess calms down. I can swear in front of the emperor that I will break up with the brothel girl after I return. I will treat the eldest princess wholeheartedly." Meng Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity to be the prince's consort.
The eldest princess was unparalleled in her dignity, and he was also moved by it. He didn't dare to think about it before.
Now that the opportunity to be the consort was right in front of him, he had to fight for it. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Humph, Governor Meng wants to use the power of this palace so that he can thrive in the officialdom and prosper in the officialdom by virtue of his status as consort!
This palace is just a stepping stone for you to climb to a high position, but you are sincere to me.
You can throw away a woman who has been with you for many years. I dare not compliment you on such a character." Chu Huaiyu's cold voice was mixed with a bit of disdain. She mocked unscrupulously.
