On the way back to the palace from Zhao's house, she listened to countless people outside the carriage scolding Jiang Yunxu for being cruel, selfish and cold-blooded.
"I don't know why the emperor was deceived by this witch. She was so ruthless and ruthless. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost at the last word."
"My second uncle's elder brother and his whole family are all still in the capital. The youngest of the two children is only three years old. It's really a crime."
"My grandfather's family was also unlucky. He did some small business in the capital. He originally planned to return to Linyi next month, but now his bones are gone."
Hongqiao listened to the abuse outside and advised worriedly: "Master, these people don't understand the truth. Don't take it to heart."
Jiang Yunxu pursed her lips tightly and shook her head. She did not expect that the public opinion would be so big. What was even more ironic was that all the blame was piled on herself.
She smiled bitterly: "No problem."
When they returned to the palace, they still didn't see Chu Xuanzhi. Yin Lei said he was busy, so Jiang Yunxu didn't bother him too much and found something to do for himself.
Gradually, she got used to Chu Xuanzhi's routine of leaving early and coming back late, coming by the moon and leaving before dawn in the morning.
A few days later, Hongqiao suddenly said in her ear: "Master, the eldest princess of Jinghua has written a letter to the emperor, requesting to come to Yi, and the emperor has just issued an edict to allow it."
This was all thanks to the Song family. It was she who wrote to the eldest princess of Jinghua, expressing her longing for her and advising her to have a companion in the chaos outside.
The eldest princess of Jinghua didn't have any doubts about the Song family, and she also had her own thoughts, so she went along with the situation and reported it to Chu Xuanzhi.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunxu's lips curled up into a smile, and she poured a cup of tea and held it in her hand, which meant that she would be able to see her in a few days.
In the evening, Chu Xuangzhi made a rare visit to eat with her. His face could not hide his tiredness. He served her a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. He said in a gentle tone: "I see you have lost a lot of weight in the past few days.
Are you affected by things outside?"
Jiang Yunxu smiled lightly: "How could I be affected by this kind of thing? There are just people outside who don't like me and are looking for opportunities to cause trouble."
Another part is that the people really care about it. Linyi and the capital are very close to each other, so it is inevitable that people with many relatives on both sides will feel resentful.
"Has the list of people in the capital come out?" she asked while sipping the soup.
Chu Xuanzhi shook his head: "It's still being sorted out."
There are too many people and we can't finish it in a short while.
Jiang Yunxu drank half a bowl of soup before putting the bowl down and wiping her lips with a handkerchief. The smile on her face faded, but she looked serious: "When the list comes out, you must tell me, I thought
Do something for these families."
"good."
After the two of them finished their meal, Chu Xuanzhi accompanied Jiang Yunxu for a walk in the yard, and at the same time he mentioned the eldest princess of Jinghua.
"She has been fostered by my mother and concubine since she was a child. She has taken good care of me. She is very smart. When my father was still alive, he once praised her for her wisdom and courage. If she were born as a man, she would definitely overpower all the princes."
When Chu Xuanzhi mentioned the eldest princess of Jinghua, even his voice was cheerful and his eyebrows stretched: "Sister Huang has asked about you many times in her letters. If she comes, she might be able to accompany you."
The smile on Jiang Yunxu's face faded a bit after hearing this, she nodded perfunctorily, looked up at the countless roses blooming on the red wall, and suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor's sister also has a daughter. This year
She is fifteen years old, do you want to arrange a marriage with the imperial sister when she comes this time?"
"Sister Yi?" Chu Xuanzhi pinched his eyebrows, as if he was really thinking seriously about who was worthy of Sister Yi.
"There's no rush, we'll talk about it after we get to Beijing."
"Does the emperor plan to settle her outside the palace or inside the palace?" Jiang Yunxu asked with a smile, without any trace of strangeness on her face.
Chu Xuanzhi looked into the distance: "I plan to build an eldest princess mansion for the imperial sister outside the palace, and let her live in the palace for the time being. The palace is empty, but it will be lively if there are more people living there."
Jiang Yunxu didn't refute this, just said yes with a smile.
