I had a really comfortable sleep this time, and when I opened my eyes, I was enveloped in a gray sky outside the window.
Chu Miaoer breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly sat up on the soft couch. The silk quilt slipped from her shoulders. A cool breeze blew in from the crack of the half-covered window, and she suddenly shivered.
"silent--"
Hearing the noise, Fu Yunchi also put down the letter in his hand and walked towards her. He sat on the edge of the soft couch with a smile on his face and looked at her without blinking. Chu Miao'er thought there was something on his face.
He reached out and touched the dirty things twice, but there was nothing there. So what was he looking at?
"Fu Yunqi, what are you looking at? Is my face so funny?" After stretching, Chu Miaoer couldn't help but ask when she saw that he was still looking at her intently.
A piece of black hair just hangs down on her shoulders and collarbone, making the exposed skin even more muscular.
"The more I look at Miaomiao, the more joy I feel. Such a beautiful woman is actually my princess."
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer's heart was as sweet as honey, but she twitched the corner of her mouth perfunctorily. She found a comfortable place to lean on. Looking at Fu Yunchi's eyelids, which were light green, he went out early and came back late every day recently.
, I think he hasn't had much rest recently, so if he can take a lunch break with her today, it must be that girl Baitao who brought him back.
"That girl Baitao said you cried this afternoon. Is that true?"
Looking at his clear peach eyes, Chu Miaoer covered her mouth and laughed, swaying in laughter. Fu Yunchi watched her smile quietly without saying a word.
When she was tired of laughing, Chu Miaoer smiled slowly and said: "Listening to that girl's nonsense, the wind blew my eyes away. How can I be so sentimental?"
Seeing Chu Miaoer looking around with her almond-shaped eyes, Fu Yunchi knew what she was looking for at a glance, and said with a smile: "Baitao is outside the house, do you want to call her in?"
Chu Miaoer licked her lips. She felt a little thirsty after falling asleep, so she nodded lightly.
"Baitao——" Fu Yunqi turned around and shouted outside the room, "Here, warm some tea. The princess wants to drink it."
Hearing the prince calling her, Baitao quickly went down to prepare tea.
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chu Miaoer slowly stood up and sat in front of the desk with Fu Yunchi.
Baitao hurriedly walked in with the tea. Seeing the prince hugging the princess affectionately, her face felt hot. She quickly lowered her head and put the tea on the table, then stepped aside, her face burning.
The relationship between the prince and the princess is getting better and better now, and now he feels relieved. Thinking that when the old lady left, she was still worried about how the princess would face the rest of her life, Baitao felt a little worried. Now that the old lady is here
The underground should also be satisfied.
"Baitao, please go down first. The princess and I have something to say. No one can be let in without my order."
Baitao, who was immersed in beautiful fantasy, suddenly came back to her senses. She was a little hesitant when she heard this, but when she saw that the fourth prince had already stopped smiling, his face was serious, and he was looking at the princess and nodded slightly to him, then he calmly followed it.
He walked out of the room and closed the door tightly.
Looking out the window through the smoke floating in the hot tea, it was hazy with mist and rain, and the scenery was completely gone. Not even half a star could be seen. Chu Miaoer simply closed the windows to avoid being blown by the cold wind.
"The prince today ordered someone to imitate the handwriting of Mr. Wang of the Ministry of Rites and write a letter of recommendation."
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer's hand paused in the air.
"Recommend Chu Xianxue to be the Crown Princess?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Chu Miaoer blurted out: "He's so stunned -"
After saying that, he was stunned. It had nothing to do with him. He should be so excited because he was stunned. Thinking of his gaffe just now, Chu Miaoer sat down with a chuckle, picked up a cup of hot tea, put it in his mouth and blew it.
"It's not just the prince who is crazy. Your third sister is not much better. She dared to break into the East Palace without permission." Fu Yunqi also picked up the teacup and took a sip. "But all the palace maids and eunuchs who knew about this were ordered by the emperor yesterday.
It was dealt with, and even the Queen Mother didn't know about it. However, Duke Chu was wary of me and the Queen Mother all day long, but he didn't expect that the Crown Prince and the most trusted emperor were both beating his precious daughter's attention. Recently, he probably couldn't even sleep.
It’s not stable anymore.”
Chu Miaoer raised her eyebrows, holding back her laughter and deliberately teasing: "After all, it's a household matter for your royal family. It seems that your mood has not been affected, but is getting better?"
For many years, the Chu government has monopolized power and dominated the Jin Kingdom. This has long aroused the dissatisfaction of some ministers in the DPRK. But to sum up, they are mainly divided into two categories: those who share the same heart and one mind with the Chu family or those who are at odds with the Chu family. But Fu Yunqi
It is a category beyond the two - gloating over misfortune and watching the fire from the other side.
Fu Yunqi pursed his lips indifferently and said casually, "That letter of recommendation will never reach the emperor at all, so the prince's efforts are in vain. He is still young."
Chu Miaoer was stunned and naturally understood what he meant.
After what she told Chu Qianqian this morning, Chu Qianqian will definitely try her best to find a husband for Chu Xianxue within this period of time. The emperor’s little thoughts are unknown to others, but Eunuch Cao is the most popular person around him.
I'm afraid he already knew that he could shoot his son's sweetheart so openly and openly, and it was probably because Eunuch Cao was there to encourage him. And this letter was probably burned and disappeared at Eunuch Cao's place, so he wouldn't have foolishly handed it over to him.
Emperor, you have offended the Sacred Heart for nothing. From this point of view, the prince's efforts are indeed in vain.
"He is never merciful when it comes to what he wants. What's more, Chu Xianxue is the most beautiful woman in the capital. There are countless people who want to get her. If he gets it, no one will know what method he used to get it.
You will only win the envy of those men." Fu Yunqi said in a calm tone, as if there was no emotion at all.
Chu Miaoer snorted softly and said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. If it is really done, killing a few people will not be enough, unless he kills everyone. There are not only 3,000 but also 800 beauties in the backyard of the palace.
The emperor is just greedy for temporary beauty. If Chu Xianxue really becomes a noble concubine in the palace, with the Chu family's legitimate daughter occupying the position of queen, commanding the six palaces, and the Chu family's third daughter, the beloved of the sixth palace, it seems that the scenery is infinite.
, in fact, it is the Chu family’s catastrophe. According to Chu Xianxue’s temperament, if some flaws are exposed in the harem, I am afraid that they will be used to make a big fuss, and those who regard the Chu family as a thorn in their side will swarm over. Is it possible that then?
Will the emperor protect the Chu family? In the final analysis, the honor and disgrace of the Chu family are just a matter of the emperor's fingertips."
Maybe he talked for too long and the tea in the cup became cold, so he took a sip of water from Fu Yunchi's cup.
"I should thank Mr. Chu for taking back the brainless Chu Xianxue. Otherwise, how could I have met Miaomiao?" Fu Yunqi looked happy and suddenly changed the subject, "But what Mr. Chu should be worried about most is Chu Xian."
Snow."
Chu Miao'er was startled. What he said was that he hadn't thought of it. As the youngest daughter in the family, Chu Xianxue was loved by everyone in the Chu family. She had a pure temperament and had no twists and turns. She wrote to the prince to express her feelings.
If he wanted to, he could ignore the reputation of the Chu family and his own and run to the East Palace alone. The emperor had countless people, so as long as he was willing to use a little trick, the young Chu Xianxue might not be able to break free from this dragnet.
Chu Miao'er was dazed for a while, and suddenly saw an unpacked letter lying in front of the desk. At a glance, it seemed that the word "Dong Jue" was written on it. Chu Miao'er looked at him worriedly: "Dong Jue"
Have the Jue people started causing trouble again?" Seeing him nodding, Chu Miao'er took the letter handed to him with suspicion and read every word carefully. The more he read, the more frightened he became. There were actually people from the East Jue lurking in Kyoto.
Carefully, that time they were ambushed...
"The time we were ambushed, they didn't care about the jade toad, and the palace was heavily guarded. It was impossible for the jade toad to be stolen by a Dongjue person." Fu Yunqi told her without any concealment.
Chu Miao'er was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Is it possible that there are also detailed works by Dong Jue in the palace?"
It turned out that since he came back from Xiling, he had been naked and running to the second prince's house all day long just to discuss this matter. If there were internal agents from the Dongjue people in the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fu Yunqi stared at her and nodded expressionlessly: "But that person was hidden so well that he hasn't been found yet."
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Baitao's soft whisper came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Princess, dinner is ready."
Fu Yunqi and Chu Miaoer went to the front hall to eat. When the food was on the table, they smelled the aroma of someone's food, and then they felt hungry.
There are nearly five to six thousand maids and guards in the palace alone, plus the eunuchs and their entourage, at least tens of thousands, as well as the concubines in the harem. From this point of view, finding someone in the palace is like finding someone in the sea.
It is as difficult as looking for a needle. It is definitely impossible to find the hidden details in just a few days, and I don’t know how the day will change.
The spring rain didn't stop all night, and the wind didn't stop either. When I woke up in the morning, the bright sunshine shone into the room, and the fresh air filled my breath, making me feel comfortable.
The person next to the pillow left early. Knowing that he was busy with business, Chu Miaoer did not ask any more questions.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror and seeing Baitao carefully twisting her hair, Chu Miaoer asked softly: "Is there anyone in the palace looking for me today?"
Baitao tilted her head to think for a moment, shook her head seriously, as if she suddenly remembered something, her eyes were filled with light: "Princess, I just heard Cui'er say that she went out to the market to buy this morning and saw that our Chu Mansion was doing some shopping.
We’re recruiting an uncle! Guess who it is?”
"Other than Chu Xianxue, who else is waiting to be married in the Chu family now?"
Baitao suppressed her smile, the princess was right, there was clearly only one third young lady left in the Chu Mansion.
Chu Miao'er was still a little surprised by what Baitao said. Logically speaking, even if he knew something about the Chu family's recruitment of a son-in-law from other people's mouths, even if it was just a rumor, those people who climb the dragon and the phoenix would be overjoyed.
I wanted to give it a try. But Chu Gong actually let out the news so blatantly that he wanted to marry the third lady, and he did not limit his status and did not care whether he had an official title or not. It was obvious that he was desperate and could only take a gamble.
"I'm going to the Second Prince's Mansion today." When he was about to reach the door, he turned back to the bronze mirror, carefully selected a few hairpins and earrings from the dowry and put them aside, and shouted to the door, "Qingqiu——"
The girl with a double-ringed bun came in from the door. She nodded slightly, with a hint of shyness on her face, but her eyes were full of intelligence.
"Send these to Lanyuan and say they are from me."
While she was talking, Bai Lan had already put several items in the wooden box. Qingqiu reached out to take them and replied obediently: "Don't worry, Princess, Qingqiu will send them over right away."
After saying that, he retreated.
Baitao frowned and looked in the direction where she disappeared, with a puzzled look on her face: "Why does the princess always ask her to go to Lanyuan?"
"Let's see if this person can be used. I need someone to give it a try." Chu Miaoer smiled, lifted up her skirt and walked out the door.
Baitao nodded in understanding and followed quickly.
