Chu Qianqian didn't expect her topic to change so quickly, and it took her a moment to react. "What else can I do? It's not just like that, but I'm smarter and use my brain for everything." She sighed slightly.
, looking a little helpless.
"The weak will prey on the strong, there is nothing we can do about it." Chu Miao'er nodded. Since she didn't want to go into details, there was no need to force her to ask again.
At this time Baitao ran over in a hurry again. Seeing her hurried appearance, Chu Miaoer couldn't speak for a long time and couldn't help but joked: "Tingfeng has followed the prince into the palace, what are you doing running so fast in the house?"
When Chu Qianqian saw Baitao, she suddenly remembered what Chun Liu had said to her, lowered her head and smiled quietly.
"Princess, Mrs. Huyin has rushed to the house after hearing that you were back. She must have come in now," Baitao smiled, her eyebrows stretched, "she must have come in now."
"Seriously?! Hu Yin actually agreed to be a concubine?" When Chu Miao'er heard that Hu Yin came to the door, her voice unconsciously increased a lot. She turned to look at Chu Qianqian, her tone not hiding her surprise, "
Eldest sister, how long ago did Huyin become a concubine?"
When she said goodbye before leaving, Huyin had not yet said that she wanted to enter the Second Prince's Mansion. According to her, these were just false names, and it was up to you to take them or not. If she and Fu Yanshuo truly loved each other, these would not bind them.
The shackles of two people.
"How can this be false? Not long after your trip, the Queen Mother personally issued a decree to confer Hu Yin as 'Mrs.'" Chu Qianqian rarely saw her smiling so brightly and couldn't help but laugh, "Now she
She is already pregnant, so of course she doesn't have to do it before. It doesn't matter that she has no identity, but how can the child in her belly have no identity? That is the blood of the royal family."
Huyin is actually pregnant? Fu Yanshuo has been waiting for so long, and it can be regarded as a "double happiness" overnight. Ye Zhiqiu finally got her wish. According to her temperament, she may treat this child as a child in the future.
If you come out.
"The Second Prince's Mansion is very lively now..." This also means that Huyin really lost her freedom for Fu Yanshuo, because she has been shackles since then. Chu Miaoer didn't know for a moment whether he should be happy for her
, still sad for her.
"Mrs. Huyin..." Baitao called softly with a smile.
Chu Miaoer raised her eyes and saw Huyin walking gracefully. She was wearing a light blue gauze dress. Perhaps because she was afraid of the cold, she had a white gauze draped over her shoulders. Her black hair was simply tied up.
She wore low-hanging hair on her temples, which was extremely soft and soft. The breeze blew by, giving people a feeling of being ethereal.
"The Queen..." Hu Yin approached and bowed slightly, with a faint smile on his red lips.
After seeing it, Chu Qianqian could not help but secretly praise her beauty, and said politely: "You two just chat, I can't be out for too long, so I will go back to the palace first." After saying that, she turned around and left with a faint smile.
After she left, Hu Yin took Chu Miao'er's hand affectionately and complained softly: "Sister Miao'er didn't even say a word to me when she came back. If the prince hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark.
!”
"Sister is still talking about me!" Chu Miao'er didn't agree. Instead, she said with a smile, "I don't know when my sister was pregnant or when she was named a concubine."
"Then it's my fault?" Hu Yin wasn't worried that she would be angry because of this. He pulled her along and chuckled, "It just happened a few days ago. I didn't mean to hide it from Sister Miao'er. It's just that it happened a few days ago.
I just wanted to come back and tell you the good news in person." Of course Chu Miaoer would not care about this with her, she just smiled and nodded, indicating that she didn't care.
"If you share one letter, even if you die, you will have to go to the royal cemetery. If you die, you will only be a member of the royal family. You will no longer have the freedom you had before. Do you regret it?" Chu Miaoer asked seriously.
I could only hear her sighing slightly, brushing the hair from her face with a slight smile: "The matter has come to this, there is no use in talking more."
What Hu Yin said is not entirely unreasonable. Since you have decided to step in, there is no way back, and you are not free even to die, so there is no need to say more.
"I hope that my sister can stay with the prince for the rest of her life, and this love will never change." Chu Miao'er saw her deep in thought, winked at her, and joked playfully, "No, I should call you 'sister-in-law' with Yunqi from now on."
That’s it!”
A blush immediately appeared on Hu Yin's face. He raised his hand and made a slapping gesture and said, "Sister, please stop teasing me. I only make love when I call you. Calling me 'sister-in-law' will inevitably sound like a generation apart."
of……"
"Listen to sister..." Chu Miaoer smiled happily.
Seeing Baitao covering her mouth and smiling softly, Huyin suddenly recalled the situation and waved to the maid Die'er behind her.
Die'er followed up in small steps and handed the thing in her hand to Baitao.
"Mrs. Huyin..." Baitao looked at the jewelry box lying in his hand, looked at Huyin and then turned to Chu Miao'er, raising his hands in the air as if he was at a loss.
"I heard from Tingfeng that you and he are already married in Dongling, so I specially picked a pair of earrings as a wedding gift from the Second Prince and I to you." Huyin explained softly, "The style is relatively simple, I was thinking of you.
It can also be used on daily basis.”
"Slave..." Baitao was deeply moved. She lowered her head and whispered, "Slave, thank you to the second prince and the second princess..."
Huyin has always wanted to bring Baitao and Tingfeng together, but because Chu Miaoer persuaded her not to get involved, she had been holding back. Now that she heard that the two were married, she was naturally very happy.
"I don't know how long it will take for Yunqi to come back. Has your sister eaten?" Chu Miaoer asked aloud, "If not, why not eat with me?"
Hearing this, Hu Yin was confused.
"Sister, I wonder where the Fourth Prince has gone?" she asked in disbelief, as if this was a very puzzling thing.
Chu Miaoer also found her reaction incomprehensible and asked: "Didn't he be summoned into the palace by his mother and go to Xiangfu Palace? Is there any other place to go?"
Baitao just said that he "seems" to be from Xiangfu Palace, but he is not sure. Could it be that he went to Qiankun Palace? East Palace? Or Lingxuan Palace? The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
"We are going to Xiangfu Palace. I also heard from Yan Shuo that Princess Linghui arrived at the palace early this morning. The Queen Mother was anxious for all the princes to rush into the palace to meet her," Hu Yin explained.
.
When did another princess fall from the sky? It was unbelievable that even the Queen Mother personally helped her organize the affairs.
"Princess Linghui?" Chu Miaoer frowned slightly, looked at her and asked, "I haven't heard Yunqi mention it before, who is she?"
Hu Yin also frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "I just heard Yan Shuo mention something. It seems that this person is the niece of the Queen Mother. She has known the second princess since childhood. Now she lives outside and returns home around the year.
I went to the palace once or twice to visit the Queen Mother."
She really didn't know about this. When Hu Yin talked about it, it seemed as if Princess Ling Hui had a noble status and was on good terms with everyone in the palace.
"Let's go get something to eat first." Chu Miao'er didn't want to discuss this issue with her anymore, and wanted to wait for Fu Yunchi to come back before asking about the princess.
And until the sky darkened, Fu Yunqi did not come back. The last time he had dinner alone was when Prime Minister Chu suddenly passed away.
Now...why? That Princess Linghui?
Facing this large table of sumptuous delicacies, Chu Miaoer suddenly felt irritable, not for anything else but because she couldn't figure out why Fu Yunchi didn't tell her about this in advance.
If he had informed him in advance, he would not have been so upset when others mentioned it that he would not have known anything about it.
The desertion suddenly surrounded her, and Chu Miaoer gradually lost consciousness while sitting in front of the round table.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Is the food not to your liking?" Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, Baitao said worriedly, "Would you like to change some dishes for you?"
Chu Miaoer just shook her head and asked calmly: "Is the prince back?"
The prince has not sent any message back so far. How should he respond? Baitao frowned and didn't know how to speak.
"Your Highness has been in the palace for so long and hasn't come back yet? Hasn't he returned from sending a message to the palace?" Chu Miao'er looked a little sullen. Fu Yunchi would never worry her like this, and now there was no news after entering the palace.
What's going on?
"Take all these away, I'm not in the mood to eat them." Chu Miao'er said lightly.
Baitao wanted to persuade her again, but when she saw that Chu Miaoer had already stood up and walked to the window, she hesitated for a moment without saying anything, and quickly removed the food.
Not long after, while the white peaches were still being packed, a little maid walked in quickly and called out timidly: "Princess, someone from the palace just came to send a message, saying... that the prince will stay in the palace for dinner and will be back in a while."
If you don’t come, I’ll let you… let you eat by yourself first.”
The moonlight outside the window is like water and the sky is like ink, adding a touch of loneliness.
"I know," Chu Miao'er picked up a book and said calmly, "I find this book very interesting. I'll read it for a while before eating. You go down and do your work. You don't need to worry about me."
Baitao knew what the princess was thinking, and she scolded Tingfeng countless times in her heart.
After they all pushed it down, Chu Miaoer gently put down the book in his hand and looked out the window at the night, feeling a little melancholy.
During this period, Fu Yunqi was by his side every day, but now that he was suddenly gone, he felt uncomfortable. What was he doing now? Drinking and composing poems? Or accompanying Princess Ling Hui?
After thinking about it, I couldn't stand the book in my hand anymore, so I put the book on the soft couch beside me, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Considering that Hu Yin in Fu Yanshuo's mansion was pregnant, the queen mother released him early.
Fu Yunqi was not so lucky. The queen mother and the emperor's brother insisted that he accompany his cousin Ling Hui to have a drink, so that when he came out of Xiangfu Palace, he felt light under his feet, and he didn't know how much they drank.
When we returned to the mansion, all the candles had been extinguished, and the entire Fourth Prince's mansion seemed to be asleep.
"Your Majesty, you are finally back! The princess has been waiting for you to have dinner, and she went to bed without even eating dinner." Baitao happened to be packing her things and said quickly when she saw him coming back.
