Chapter 84 (7.17)

Chu Yu woke up the next morning, everyone was ready, the group went straight to Huajing, and went back to their houses.

After Zhao Yue ascended the throne, he made Gu Chusheng the head of the Jin Ministry, and gave him back the house of the Gu family back then. So after Gu Chusheng said goodbye to Chu Yu, he went back to his home by himself.

Wei Yun and Chu Yu returned to the Wei Mansion. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Liu Xueyang and Jiang Chun with people standing at the gate of the mansion waiting. Wei Yun and Chu Yu were stunned for a moment, and Liu Xueyang stepped forward, hugged Wei Yun, and said with tears in his eyes, "You are finally back, you don't know how scared your mother is when you are away."

Wei Yun's eyes softened, he raised his hand and patted Liu Xueyang's back, and said gently, "Don't worry, mother, I'm back."

Wei Yun persuaded Liu Xueyang, next to Jiang Chun came forward, looked at Chu Yu with a smile: "Are you back?"

Chu Yu looked at Jiang Chun's smiling face and jokingly said, "You look like you have a peach blossom on your face, you seem to be having a good time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chun was stunned for a while, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Have you heard?"

Chu Yu was stunned, and pretended to be calm: "I heard."

"I didn't expect it to spread so quickly," Jiang Chun said, a little helpless, but still said: "But he is a man with a frivolous personality, and he is talking nonsense with his mouth. Don't take it seriously. I will stay in Weifu until I get old."

Chu Yu nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, a man can't just trust his mouth, but he still needs to test it."

Jiang Chun pursed his lips and shook his head: "I won't be sorry Erlang."

"Achun..."

Chu Yu sighed and wanted to say something else, but Liu Xueyang finally recovered from her joy and greeted, "Come on, pass the brazier first, and bring the wormwood water..."

So the rest of Chu Yu's words stopped between her lips, but Jiang Chun's eyes were all clear, as if she already knew what Chu Yu was going to say.

Chu Yu followed behind Wei Yun, stepped over the brazier, was dipped in water by Liu Xueyang with wormwood, patted on his body lightly, washed away the bad luck, and went to the ancestral hall. After being informed by the ancestors and the ancestors in the ancestral hall, a group of talented people came back. Go back to your room to clean.

Changyue and Wanyue had already prepared water. As soon as Chu Yu came in, they served Chu Yu and poured hot soup. Changyue massaged Chu Yu's hands, and Wanyue rubbed Chu Yu's back. , kept saying: "If you want to go to the north, why did you leave us behind? How can there be a reason for a master to throw away his personal servant girl in this world?"

"Didn't I worry about you?" Chu Yu sighed: "This time it was me who was willful, and it was only after I left that I realized the danger. You see, I brought so many people over there, and..."

Speaking of this, Chu Yu felt a little sour in her heart, and she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you can tell me about Huajingli."

"What can be wrong?"

Chang Yue rolled his eyes: "Hua Jingli is settled down."

Chu Yu knew that she was angry with herself, turned her head to look at Wan Yue and said, "Wan Yue, say it."

"After Zhao Yue became emperor, he appeased all the families, who should be demoted, or promoted, he was quite skillful and weighed all parties, so after Huajing was taken over by him, there was no trouble, the people were stable, and we also Not too affected."

Chu Yu nodded, she knew this: "What else?"

"He promoted Gu Chusheng and Song Shilan, and also promoted Shen You to Dali Temple. Every time Shen You came back, he would come to the house to see Mrs. Six. When Mrs. Six didn't see him, he stood at the door, and everyone outside knew. This matter has been rumored in Huajing for a long time."

Chu Yu was stunned, but Shen You's action was something she didn't expect. She frowned and didn't understand where Shen You's face came from. If it was said that he spread the wrong news unintentionally, then he changed the person who saved him from Zhao Yue to Yao Yong, which was definitely a deliberate concealment. If you hide it like this, why do you pretend?

Chu Yu pondered, and seeing that she didn't speak, Chang Yue hurriedly said, "There is one more important thing."

"Um?"

"That Song Shilan, Song Shizi, the son of a concubine who was born as a prince, do you remember?"

Chang Yue winked, Chu Yu was a little strange, Song Shilan looked a little frivolous, but was actually very calm, and the shy son climbed up, saying that he was ruthless and firm enough, what could he do?

"He came to ask the second lady to marry him!" Chang Yue excitedly said: "When the little prince was not there, he went to the old lady. The old lady couldn't make up her mind, so it was a marriage that the second lady personally rejected. This Song Shizi has a good temper, he didn't say much when he was rejected, and even told the second lady to eat more, saying she was too thin..."

Chang Yue babbled, but Chu Yu slowly opened her eyes. It took a long time to react, this is really big news!

She couldn't help but smile, and after taking a bath, Chu Yu looked at Jiang Chun while still at the dinner table. Jiang Chun was a little embarrassed by her, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and sighed: "Ayu, just say what you want to say."

"Cough, Xiao Qi," Chu Yu turned her head and tugged at Wei Yun's sleeve, Wei Yun looked up at her with some doubts in her eyes, Chu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll tell you something fun. Son."

Wei Yun glanced at Jiang Chun, then at Chu Yu, and nodded with some doubts, Chu Yu opened his mouth and said, "That Song Shizi came to A Chun..."

"Oh, stop talking!" Jiang Chun got up and covered Chu Yu's mouth. Chu Yu was much better than her, but let her cover her mouth and looked at Wei Yun with a look of help. Wei Yun was stunned for a moment, then slowly reacted, turning his head to look at Liu Xueyang.

Liu Xueyang coughed lightly: "There is such a thing, but Achun didn't want to, so I rejected it."

"Actually, Song Shizi is also very good." Wang Lan hugged the child and looked at Jiang Chun, who was fighting with Chu Yu, with a smile: "Now I still give gifts every day."

Hearing this, Chu Yu raised her brows and blinked desperately at Jiang Chun, her eyes were full of "Really?"

After the old bottom was shaken, Jiang Chun sighed and let go of Chu Yu: "Forget it, you can take me for dinner."

"How dare we?"

Chu Yu hurriedly slumped over, leaning on Jiang Chun and acting coquettishly: "I was wrong, good sister, I won't talk about you and Song Shizi, don't be angry."

"Go to Beidi," Jiang Chun couldn't help laughing: "How did you learn to be such a rascal?"

Wei Yun looked at him with a smile in his eyes. He liked Chu Yu's completely defenseless appearance, which would make him feel that he really entered her world.

"She didn't study in Beidi," Wei Yun knocked on the table beside Chu Yu's bowl, motioning her to eat, and said at the same time, "I see her, this is what she looked like before she came, she was holding it before, and now she is facing us. This big family is unwilling to even carry it."

"Xiao Qi is right," Liu Xueyang said with a smile, "Why didn't I see it at first, are you a little monkey?"

The family was joking with Chu Yu, talking and laughing, and when the meal was over, someone came to the palace and waited at the door.

When Wei Yun saw the person holding the imperial decree, his expression suddenly became cold. Chu Yu also saw the other party, put away his smile, and said with Wei Yun, "Hurry up and receive the decree."

Knowing that this was Chu Yu's reminder, Wei Yun took a deep breath, stood up, and greeted the eunuch, hurried forward and said, "Father-in-law is holding the imperial decree to pass the decree, why don't you ask me to wait for the decree? Aim to welcome?"

"Your Majesty instructed the servants when he came down," the eunuch smiled and said kindly: "Little Marquis returned from the north, and the journey was tiring. If you are still eating, let the servants wait by the side until the little Marquis has eaten. Now, I'll talk to you about entering the palace again."

"Your Majesty is really sympathetic to me." Wei Yun showed gratitude: "Your Majesty's grace, how can I be presumptuous? Please also ask the father-in-law to declare the decree."

Saying that, Wei Yun took a step back and knelt down respectfully. The eunuch read out the imperial decree and handed the imperial decree into Wei Yun's hands. At the same time, he said to Chu Yu who was kneeling behind Wei Yun, "Your Majesty also said, Concubine Mei in the palace. Empress and Madam Wei are old friends and have been thinking of you, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the palace to see Concubine Mei, and also talk about a sisterhood."

"I'm sorry for the empress," Chu Yu said respectfully, "I also miss my concubine very much, and I would like to enter the palace with the little prince."

Hearing this, the eunuch smiled and led the two out. The eunuch got into a carriage alone, and Chu Yu and Wei Yun got into the back one.

The carriage staggered and set off, Chu Yu said indifferently, "You are going today, so what should you talk about is clear?"

"Well." Wei Yun lowered his eyes, and Chu Yu continued, "Zhao Yue will definitely keep my mother and me in Huajing as a pledge. You promise him."

Wei Yun didn't speak, Chu Yu frowned slightly: "Didn't you agree?"

"understood."

Wei Yun spoke in a low voice, Chu Yu looked at him with downcast eyes, like a puppy whose bones had been taken away, she couldn't help raising her hand and rubbed his hair.

"trust me."

She said calmly: "You develop your own network in the north, and I won't cause you trouble in Huajing."

"You want to make trouble for me," Wei Yun said dully, "I might be happier."

"Children's words."

Chu Yu patted his head, Wei Yun said nothing.

After a while, the carriage arrived in front of the palace gate. Chu Yu and Wei Yun went straight into the inner court, Wei Yun was led to the imperial study, and Chu Yu was led to the harem.

Emperor Chunde was not a debauched emperor, there were not many concubines in the harem, and after Zhao Yue ascended the throne, in the entire harem, except for the Yao family daughter who was discussing relatives, there was only one concubine Mei, who lived in the Qifeng Palace. .

Qifeng Palace is the Queen's Palace, and Concubine Mei lives here. Everyone knows Zhao Yue's thoughts. don't know if the Yao family knew about this.

Chu Yu pondered and came to the door of Qifeng Palace. She knelt down respectfully and placed her head on the folded hands on the ground. The door slowly opened, with a creaking sound, and a strong fragrance of plum blossoms came from the ground. It rushed inside, and after a while, she heard a lazy voice: "Come in."

Chu Yu stood up and entered the room with her head lowered. The woman was lying on the couch in golden clothes, her hair was scattered on the ground, and her bare neck was full of mottled red spots. The other party seemed to do it on purpose. With such a thing, what is being announced.

She has no makeup, her face is upside down, and her expression is lazy and casual. It seems that the turmoil in the past six months has nothing to do with her.

Chu Yu stood in front of her and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

The eldest princess paused slightly when she looked at her fingernails, and after a while, she chuckled softly.

"The people who came back from the North are really different. I haven't heard this name for a long time." She said with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth: "Do you know what they call me?"

Chu Yu said honestly, "Niangniang."

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and said lightly, "My daughter is locked up."

Chu Yu didn't speak, and listened to her continue: "My brother is also dead."

"Sometimes I just think, is this my fault?"

The eldest princess laughed mockingly, she stood up, her skirt dragged on the ground.

Her long dress is complicated and gorgeous, which is rarely seen by Huajing women, because it cannot be worn outside the room. From this dress, Chu Yu speculated: "Does the niangniang go out of the room on weekdays?"

"Do you think I need it, or can I?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "It's really sad for you to say that."

Chu Yu was a little puzzled: "Princess...why can you see me?"

Since Zhao Yue is so closely guarded, how can she still let her come to see her? The eldest princess smiled lightly: "He wants the same thing as me, I will give it."

Chu Yu didn't quite understand, the eldest princess approached her and gently pulled her shoulders down, revealing the marks on it: "What he wants now, what I can give, that's all."

Chu Yu suddenly widened his eyes.

The eldest princess pulled up her clothes, sat back on the chair, propped her head up and said, "I can't remember so many faces, he thought he could humiliate me like this?"

The eldest princess sneered: "Joke!"

Chu Yu didn't speak. After a long time, Chu Yu said slowly: "Then what is the princess feeling sad about now?"

The eldest princess didn't speak, Chu Yu stepped forward, squatted down, and held the eldest princess' hand.

"His Royal Highness," she sighed, "it's not ashamed to feel sorry for being hurt."

The eldest princess's hands trembled slightly, she looked at Chu Yu quietly, and laughed hard.

"Bengong is not sad," she said slowly: "Bengong has never lost in his life, and he will not lose this time."
