The next morning, when there was still a slight mist, Chu Miaoer woke up. She bared her teeth and grinned. She endured the pain all over her body and got up to wash herself and put on her clothes. Her movements were all done in one go. She opened the door and bumped into Fu Yunchi, who was about to go back to the room.
At first glance, Fu Yunchi was dumbfounded when he saw Chu Miaer's hair tied up high. Her almond-shaped eyes looked sleepy, without her usual clarity, and her black hair tied up high made her look sleepy.
The delicate face is smaller and smaller, the earlobes are crystal clear, and the face is white and clear without makeup, making it look cooler.
"Are you going to change?" Chu Miao'er yawned and took half a step to the side to make way for him, "Go quickly -"
Fu Yunqi had just finished sword practice and was still out of breath. He asked in a low voice: "You were in so much pain yesterday, why are you still going today?"
Thinking back to last night, Fu Yunqi helped him squeeze and press, and his body was still a little comfortable, so he smiled and said: "Don't you still have a husband?"
Yawning several times in succession, her eyes became wet. Chu Miaoer raised her sleeves and rubbed her eyes lightly, looking extremely cute and innocent.
Fu Yunqi grinned when he saw this. He usually kept a certain distance from her when he was covered in sweat, so as not to choke her with the smell of his body. Today, he couldn't help but move forward. His pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be seducing people.
: "Would you like to go there after I finish breakfast together?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Miaoer covered her mouth and walked forward without looking back. She did not forget to wave her hand at him and said loudly: "No, I have ordered someone to send breakfast to Lanyuan."
Fu Yunqi shook his head helplessly, he was really stunned.
The next few days were uneventful. In addition to practicing Qigong during the day, Chu Miaoer went to the pavilion to see if An Shiliu had any results. When he returned home at night, he asked Fu Yunchi to massage his legs and shoulders, and then talk about the court.
Secret matter. I heard from Fu Yunqi that the prince has returned to the right track under his guidance, and he will be able to enjoy his leisure time soon. Chu Xianxue is still the only one favored, and Fu Deyou stays at Lingxuan Hall every night and hardly goes to court.
As a result, more and more people in the government and the public were talking privately, saying that Chu Xianxue was a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people. However, Prime Minister Chu still did not return to the court. For a time, only Fu Lilian could support the entire Kingdom of Jin.
On this day, Chu Miaoer walked to Lanyuan as usual, and happened to meet Qingqiu on the way carrying the intact breakfast meal and walking back, with his head lowered and muttering something to himself.
It was Baitao who stepped forward first. Only then did Qingqiu see the two of them. He hurriedly saluted: "I've met the princess, sister Baitao."
Bai Tao was confused and asked: "Qingqiu, why did you take away the breakfast again? What should the princess eat?"
"This -" Bai Tao's flushed little face looked very cute, and she said with a smile, "Sister Baitao, no one is here in Lanyuan."
Chu Miao'er and Baitao looked at each other and wondered, where could Wan Niang go so early in the morning?
"Doesn't anyone know where Miss Wan is going?" Baitao was a little annoyed, so his voice also increased a little, which frightened Qingqiu so much that he couldn't even utter a word for a long time.
"The prince has told me not to ask too much about Miss Wan. She doesn't want anyone to be around to serve her, so no one comes close to her."
"Then we can't just leave. Our princess—"
"Well, maybe the prince hasn't left yet," Chu Miao'er stopped Baitao's words and signaled her not to talk too much. She turned to Qingqiu and said, "In that case, you can send breakfast to my room."
Bai Tao bit her lip, stamped her feet and turned around to leave.
The gentle breeze from the lake blew on his face, which was actually a bit cool, and Chu Miaoer couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Is the prince still having dinner?" Chu Miao'er asked the little maid when she saw that the little maid in the courtyard was cleaning, and hurried into the house without stopping.
The little maid put down the broom in her hand and whispered: "Back to Princess, not long after you left, someone from the palace came to the house and called the prince away. He was in such a hurry that he didn't get breakfast."
"Do you know who it is?"
After thinking about it seriously, the little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Seeing that this little maid had very bright eyes, she must have arrived at the house not long ago, and naturally the people in the palace did not know her. Chu Miaoer smiled and waved, then turned and entered the house.
During the meal, Baitao came in from outside the house with a smile, his steps were light, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Chu Miaoer joked: "What good thing happened?"
"The princess will know after seeing it."
Chu Miao'er took the letter and opened it carefully, and what he saw was Hu Yin's handwriting.
"The Second Prince and the others have just arrived in Xiling, and they said they had a drink with Miss Yang yesterday -" Chu Miaoer said with a smile.
The faint morning light, Lingxuan Hall, the spring scenery is sultry.
The layers of gauze curtains in the middle of the room are graceful and boundless, and the wisps of cigarette smoke attract people's imagination. Chu Xianxue's hair is messy, a thin layer of sweat oozes from her forehead, her face is red, she is lying in Fu Deyou's arms with a charming face, although she is covered by a brocade quilt.
Wrap it up and take a closer look. It is not difficult to find that the body under the brocade quilt has no traces and is as white as porcelain.
"Your Majesty, Xue'er wants to eat that grape~" Chu Xianxue's voice was still slightly breathy.
Fu Deyou put the peeled grapes into her mouth with his own hands. He held it lightly with his teeth and his eyes were as charming as silk. Eunuch Cao standing beside him blushed and lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes.
"What a shame for being reckless!"
Hearing Eunuch Cao's low voice, as if he was lecturing someone, Fu Deyou lazily asked: "What's the matter?"
"Back to the Emperor, Xia He has something urgent to report," Eunuch Cao turned around and replied with a smile, "Don't miss the Emperor's pleasure."
Her personal maid Xia He is usually the most well-behaved, and there is no way she is so ignorant of etiquette. After hearing this, Chu Xianxue leaned on the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, this girl Xia He is very measured in her actions.
I came here to disturb the Emperor because of something urgent."
Others don't know that as long as the emperor stays in Lingxuan Hall, no one is allowed to come close to him except Eunuch Cao. Chu Xianxue was not used to not having Xia He around at first, but over time she got used to it.
With a look from the emperor, Eunuch Cao turned around and let the man in.
Xia He hurried in. Seeing the situation in front of him, his face turned red and he said in panic: "Ms. Xue Fei, sir, he, he is gone——"
Hearing this, Chu Xianxue was stunned for a moment, looked at her blankly, and asked with trembling lips: "You, what did you say?!"
"My slave just met someone from the mansion on the road, and he was rushing to Fengwei Palace. He asked a few questions, and then he learned that the master was ugly and went there." Xia He's voice trembled, trying to speak clearly, "The mansion
Someone came to inform the Queen and the Fourth Princess, it must have passed by now."
"How is your mother now?" Chu Xianxue asked weakly. She had never seen her father and mother since they were separated last time. Thinking of this, Chu Xianxue felt like a knife piercing her heart and felt extremely guilty.
"I don't know, my slave," Xia He shook his head in fear, "but everyone in the mansion is in a panic, so I guess the situation is not good."
When Chu Xianxue heard this, she collapsed on the emperor. She was frightened and blamed herself. Her tears fell into beads and she couldn't hold them back.
"Your Majesty, I want to go back to see my father. They must be angry with Xue'er. Xue'er is unfilial. Why should she punish Xue'er like this?" Chu Xianxue's heart was so confused that she had no thoughts. She thought it would take a while
Dad could figure it out on his own, but he didn't expect that that look would be his last.
"Don't worry, I'm here." A faint doubt flashed in Fu Deyou's eyes. Yesterday, he heard that Mr. Chu's condition had improved, so why did he just say no and disappear today?
"Your Majesty—" Chu Xianxue cried, "Xue'er is going back home now—"
Seeing her crying like a woman, Fu Deyou couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
"Okay, okay," Fu Deyou patted her shoulder and coaxed, then turned to Xia He and said, "Wash and change Concubine Xue immediately."
Eunuch Cao looked in all directions and quickly turned around and retreated. Xia He responded repeatedly without daring to raise his head. He stepped forward and helped Chu Xianxue get dressed with trembling hands and feet, and then followed her out of Lingxuan Hall.
On the other side, Chu Miao'er, who was having a meal, was still thinking about the interesting things Hu Yin told her in the letter just now. She was so happy that Baitao ran in in a hurry.
"princess--"
Seeing her nervous expression, Chu Miaoer couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Princess," Baitao swallowed and said tremblingly, "the master is gone."
After hearing what Baitao said, Chu Miaoer was stunned and didn't know what expression to make. Although he was not the real Chu Miaoer, he was still heartbroken.
Tears welled up like a spring, and the distinct teardrops fell into the bowl. I couldn't stop them, and I couldn't tell whether they were hers or Chu Miaoer's.
Seeing her silence, Baitao was so frightened that she stepped forward and called out in a trembling voice: "Princess, please don't scare me. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold back your body! If it's the prince,
When you come back, you should feel a million heartache again!"
I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. No matter what I do, I should go back this time, whether it's a matter of personal responsibility or courtesy.
Chu Miao'er still remained silent for a long time. She put down the chopsticks in her hands and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go back to the Chu Mansion."
