Chapter 53 - This King Does Not Know
Zhuo Baiyuan was so scared that he immediately knelt there: "My prince, don't blame me for being rude. When I first married my Little Four, I was powerless, and that was an imperial edict, but I really can't bear it. Look at that girl, she is a fool, it undermines your majesty and reputation too much …"
After speaking, he even secretly raised his head to take a peek, and saw Chu Yi Chen sitting there listening, her face covered by a mask, so it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
I thought about it and felt that I had let down the prince, so I wanted to send my eldest daughter, Qing Lin, into the mansion. She is clever, cute, beautiful, and also knows some music, chess, calligraphy, and paintings.
At this moment, Chu Yi Chen was already angry, and his body instantly emitted a chill.
Suddenly, the back of his hand was grabbed by a little soft hand. His fingers tapped lightly on the back of his hand. The corner of his mouth curled up, and the coldness on his body also disappeared.
When Zhuo Baiyuan peeked again, he saw the corner of's mouth slightly rise. He thought that Yue Yang had agreed, and then immediately said with strength: "There is a saying from ancient times that the Queen E's daughter is a goddess, the two daughters of this official cannot be compared with her, but Qing Lin is smart, and her beauty will definitely please the Duke, and as for her face … After all, she's still a silly girl. There are some things that she's still unable to do well. How about … "
"Prince …" Zhuo Qingyan suddenly pulled Chu Yi Chen's sleeve, and then extended her head in front of her: "Who is Huang Ying? Do I know him? "
Chu Yi Chen held back her laughter and caressed her face with her hand. "I don't know her. I don't know her either."
"Then who is daddy talking about?" Zhuo Qingyan even winked at him.
Chu Yi Chen's throat couldn't help but tighten, secretly exhaling. Could it be that this girl didn't know how enchanting her current appearance was? He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, "Minister Zhuo is talking about unrelated people. I'm telling you a story!"
Upon hearing that, Zhuo Baiyuan who was kneeling down, closed his eyes. Didn't he say it was for nothing? He had mustered a lot of courage.
"Oh, tell a story? Little Four would love to hear that. Father, please tell me more, what happened to this hero? Zhuo Qingyan smiled.
Zhuo Baiyuan did not have time to bother with her, and immediately cupped his fists towards Ling Wang: "My prince, I beg of you, please save my daughter, or else, this child will die."
It is true that this duke is a useless king, but I have also lived in the Imperial Family for many years, so I am not blind. I am not blind, and I even understand what's going on. Chu Yi Chen coldly snorted.
"Prince Ling, this official did not mean it, it was just that Your Highness had misunderstood me, I hope Your Highness does not get angry, just listen to this official's story …" Zhuo Baiyuan immediately shouted.
"Minister Zhuo, you are so elegant, coming here to touch your daughter and giving her to the prince, you really aren't afraid of losing your head …" Yan Li's cynical voice came out.
Following that, the black and white Jiang Siyue came in from outside the hall and took off the big fur coat the moment they came in. The two of them were both wearing white brocade robes today, looking extremely noble.
When Zhuo Baiyuan saw the two of them, his eyes panicked. It seemed that he couldn't do it today.
"Yes, he's not. We've been talking here for so long, if not for the fact that he scared the Love Consort, he would have already been thrown out of the manor." Chu Yi Chen said helplessly.
"Your Highness, you have a good temper, if I were you, you wouldn't even need to enter this mansion, you have even allowed me to enter, and even gave me the best tea in the manor, but I actually wanted to force my daughter, who has lost her reputation, to Your Highness. You must know, in Anguo Palace, people are not allowed to enter." Jiang Siyue coldly snorted.
"Milords, don't speak nonsense, even if this official's daughter is weak, this would still not be the case, it's only because my daughter has always admired the prince's reputation. The last time I came to the palace to visit the Little Four, I met the prince and missed him greatly, that's why I came to boldly ask for his help …" Zhuo Baiyuan immediately replied in a roundabout way.
"Oh?" What nonsense are we talking about? [Who in the capital doesn't know that your daughter is at the south city gate? Do you really think our prince is a fool? " After Yan Li finished speaking, he felt that something was amiss, and he even turned to look at Chu Yi Chen.
He had truly felt that cold gaze of his.
Zhuo Qingyan, on the other hand, could only use her teacup to cover her already open mouth as she tried not to laugh.
Chu Yi Chen obviously saw it, so he held her hand and used a bit of force.
"That was fabricated by someone else. You can't believe it, you can't believe it …" Zhuo Baiyuan shouted.
"Fine, even if it is fabricated, but it can be considered as having a bad reputation. Just like this, why don't you quickly send them to the temple and stay there, and then try to send them to someone else's residence. If it isn't for normal people, why don't you send them to the palace? Minister Zhuo, I also want to ask you, what do you think?" Yan Li asked bluntly.
"This... This official just wants to remedy the situation. This Little Four is a fool, he doesn't know anything … " Zhuo Baiyuan was going all out.
"How dare you!" Jiang Siyue shouted coldly.
"Zhuo Baiyuan, you are really bold, no matter how weak, the one sitting here is the Princess Ling. Although you are the father of a wangfei, there is still a difference in status. It's fine if you don't address her as your wangfei, but you still dare to insult her as such, what do you think? You, Zhuo Baiyuan, only have one daughter, and that is Zhuo Qinglin right? Jiang Siyue glared at him.
"Ugh …" Zhuo Baiyuan never thought that there would be so many people defending this fool, and what he said was right, it was something he did not pay attention to, he really didn't know how to explain it.
"Father has never treated Little Four as his own daughter. This Little Four knows very well that Little Four is a fool, even he would understand if he lost father's face. But why did you let the third elder sister come? She would tie Little Four to a pillar in the woodshed, freeze to death Little Four, starve to death Little Four, and even let Tong Dazhu kill Little Four. Little Four didn't want Third Big Sister to come here, never! "
Zhuo Qingyan's voice was clear and her tone was slow, her words were precise, especially the last four words, they were very heavy.
She had been holding a teacup all this time, but from the whiteness of the knuckles she held, she could tell how upset she was right now.
Chu Yi Chen hugged her shoulders back, "I will listen to Love Consort and not allow anyone else to enter my palace. You are Ling Mansion's only mistress."
Then, he turned around to look at the two people who were kneeling down next to him. "Minister Zhuo heard what this king said. In the future, if there's nothing else, don't come to your residence. This king is very busy, and does not have the time to listen to Lord Shang Shu's story.
