After preparing a table of delicious food for Chu Moxi and Zhu Bajie, Lian'er leisurely walked to the main entrance of the Residence of Chen.
It was full of people. They were all here to see the king and his wife. Because there were too many people, there were a few guards at the gate.
These people were all officials of the capital. Perhaps they had received news from somewhere else, so they decided to curry favor with the people of the House of Chen. The one standing in front of them was Duke Chu's steward, Duke Lin.
Seeing Lian'er coming out from the main entrance, everyone immediately recognized that Lian'er was Chu Moxi's personal maid. Their hearts skipped a beat and excitement showed on their faces. Could it be that Prince Chen and his wife were willing to see them?
Lian'er's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Housekeeper Lin. "My Duke and my royal consort have said that if you don't see anyone, you can leave now!" With these words, Lian'er turned around and was about to leave.
"Ai …" Miss Lian'er, did the wangfei say when she would meet with Duke Chu? " Seeing that Lian'er was about to leave, Steward Lin hastily called for Lian'er to stop.
He had been coming over every day for the past few days, but he didn't see Prince Chen and his wife. The Duke was already dissatisfied with him. No matter what, he had to get the letter!
"Duke Chu? "The Duke Chu Palace cannot afford to have such a grand show." Lian'er lightly swept her gaze over Housekeeper Lin. She had a deep impression of him. At that time, she had almost died at his hands.
"This …" Steward Lin couldn't help but shrink back after being stared at by Lian'er.
Lian'er didn't continue to talk to him. She just looked away and went into the gate of the House of Chen.
Steward Lin looked at the tightly shut door, then turned his head to look at the crowd that was starting to disperse. He paused for a moment, then slowly turned around and left with the crowd.
After returning to the Duke Chu Mansion, Housekeeper Lin immediately reported the words that Lian'er had said to Chu Mingjing.
"What?" Duke Chu's Duke Mansion was truly grand? Prince Chen's Palace couldn't afford it? " Hearing Housekeeper Lin's words, Chu Ming Jing's expression changed again and again. What did those words mean?
Hearing this, the third wife had a strange expression on her face. She glanced at Chu Mingjing before a smile appeared on her face. She did not say anything but retracted her gaze.
Second Madam's face was frowning. What exactly did the Chenchen Mansion mean? Could it be that Duke Chu needed to personally request an audience? That Chu Moxi really had a lot of guts!
"Duke, she probably meant for you to come in person." Second Madam's face paled as she looked at Chu Mingjing, afraid that her words would send Duke Chu into a rage.
But it did not seem like this, Duke Chu only sighed, then bowed and left the Duke's Mansion.
Perhaps he had already understood Chu Moxi's intentions, but he just didn't want to admit it.
The Duke Chu Residence had already reached such a state. If they didn't lower their heads to Chu Moxi, would there be a way out? Now that the Monarch had taken over Duke Chu's mansion, the suppression of the House of Chen was going to start soon, right?
Outside, the sky was already darkening, and Duke Chu was walking down the street in a daze.
Other than a few pedestrians walking in a hurry, there was no one else on the way.
Normally, it would take a long time to get from the Duke Chu's Mansion in the west side of the city to the Duke Chen's Mansion in the royal capital, but today, he felt that it was a short trip.
Chu Mingjing stomped his feet and finally arrived in front of the gates of the Duke Chen Palace.
He suddenly stopped when he saw the mottled entrance to the Prince Chen's mansion. He thought back to when Chu Moxi had gotten married and how she had returned home …
For the sake of the great Chu Family, for the sake of their status, Chu Mingjing took a deep breath and stepped onto the stairs in front of the Palace of Chen.
"Who are you? What business do you have with the Crown Prince's Palace? " The guards at the entrance saw someone coming over and immediately asked.
"Me?" Duke Chu raised his head in shock, letting the two guards clearly see her appearance, he did not believe, that they would not recognize him.
"Duke Chu? I wonder what Duke Chu wants from the House of Chen? " The two guards recognized Duke Chu, and after bowing to him, they asked formally.
Their reaction caused Chu Mingjing to be stunned. Originally, he thought that if these two guards didn't ask, they would just invite him into the Prince Chen Mansion. This way, he would be able to avoid the awkwardness of having to be informed.
It could only be said that Chu Mingjing was overthinking things. What kind of place was the Duke Chen Palace? Anyone can enter? Invite? I'm giving you face for not chasing you away.
Duke Chu looked at the two guards and stood up straight. His face regained its haughtiness, "Are Prince Chen and Princess Chen here?" That is, if they are here, let them come out and meet the viscount.
"Both the princess and princess are here." The way he answered was very serious, so Chu Jingjing couldn't find any fault with it.
Because of how serious he was, Chu Ming almost vomited blood.
What kind of guard was this? Do you have any professional ethics as a guard?
"That... "I am here at the Chenchen Mansion …" Chu Ming hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't find the right answer.
On the other hand, the two guards were completely baffled. This Duke Chu was really close to a servant! He actually has the heart to come to our house and mingle with us servants.
And just like that, in the eyes of the two guards of the House of Chen, Duke Chu became a Duke along with his servants.
However, he still didn't have the chance to enter the Palace of Chen! Although Duke Chu was very close to the citizens, they did not forget their responsibilities. The prince was fine now, the Duke's Mansion was presided over by an imperial concubine. They had to perform well and leave a good impression on the imperial concubine.
Smiling at Duke Chu in a friendly manner, they continued with their duties.
Chu Ming's face turned darker and darker. These two stupid guards.
"Please inform the king that I have come to see the king and his wife." Duke Chu bit on the word 'audience' strangely, as if he really wanted to bite off more than he could chew.
"Then, Duke Chu, please wait for a moment. Let us go inside to make the report." The guard on the right looked strangely at Chu Ming and cupped his hands towards him before reporting in …
At this moment, in the Mourning Pavilion, Chu Moxi was standing in the courtyard with her purple shadow dancing in front of her. At this moment, in the Mourning Pavilion, Chu Moxi was standing in the courtyard with her purple shadow dancing in front of her.
This sort of change could simply be described as inconceivable.
Suddenly, Chu Moxi's sword move changed. The originally warm feeling instantly transformed into a scorching Qi. A terrifying heat wave was released from the purple shadow. As the sword in Chu Moxi's hand moved, the heat wave began to spread out in all directions with her as the center.
The spring was so thick that the courtyard began to change. It was as if the courtyard had entered a scorching summer day.
Lian'er, who was guarding the entrance to the courtyard, looked at her boss almost with adoring eyes. Her boss was way too strong! He just let the whole yard enter spring ahead of time, and now the yard has directly let it enter summer?
At this time, Butler Hao hurriedly walked over from the front yard towards the Xuan Pavilion. Lian'er turned her head and looked at Butler Hao with an inquiring gaze.
The latter spoke to Lian'er in a low voice, causing Lian'er's expression to immediately change. She turned her head to look at the courtyard where Chu Moxi's sword move had stopped. Only then did she wrinkle her brows, indicating that Steward Hao should wait first. At the same time, Lian'er started to move towards the courtyard.
Chu Mo Xi caressed the purple shadow in her hand and then kept it in her spatial space, "Lian'er, Chu Ming Jing is here?" As for Chu Mingjing coming over, it was within Chu Moxi's expectations.
It hadn't been easy for Chu Mingjing to get his position from a mere commoner to this day. How could he hope for his position to disappear? It seemed that the Monarch's side, in order to 'cater' to her, had already sent Chu Jingjing flying.
He had no choice but to make Chu Mingjing come and beg for her life in the Duke Chen Palace! Begging for Chu Moxi! However, for someone like Chu Mingjing, he had to make two decisions regarding whether he wanted to beg or not.
"Boss …" Lian'er stared at Chu Moxi. Her boss was too godly. Before she could say anything, her boss already knew about it.
"Housekeeper Hao, get someone to tell Duke Chu that the prince and the lady have rested." With a slight sneer, she wondered what kind of person Chu Mingjing was. Is it that I can see it whenever I want to?
I'm sorry, it's Chu Moxi's decision now. Everything has to be done according to her rules.
"Yes sir!" Butler Hao immediately accepted the order and left.
Chu Zhaojing raised his head high. He was standing in front of the gate of the Palace of Chen. He was thinking, "When I see the Prince Chen and his wife in the future, what should I say?" He could just get Chu Moxi to speak to the Monarch directly!
It could only be said that Chu Mingjing was being too natural! Asking Chu Moxi to speak to the Monarch? Was this an order? Who did he think Chu Moxi was? Even if it was the young and tender Chu Moxi in the Duke Chu Mansion, she wouldn't allow him to do as he pleased, right? Furthermore, the current Chu Moxi's wings were not as hard as normal wings.
At this moment, the guard hurriedly walked out. Chu Mingjing looked at him but didn't see anyone behind him. He frowned slightly.
"Why is no one coming out to greet me? Is this how the House of the Chaotic Storm treats guests?" There was even a hint of anger in his tone.
The guard almost rolled his eyes. Wasn't Duke Chu too arrogant? Even greeting him? Neither the prince nor the princess saw him.
"My apologies Duke Chu, but our princes and princesses have already retired." That means you can leave now!
The anger on Duke Chu's face froze. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Prince Chen and his wife had already stopped? Did that mean he had improved even further in the Palace of Chen?
Chu Mingjing clearly understood the meaning behind these words. His face turned green and white, looking extremely ugly to behold.
He, Chu Mingjing, had been in the government for so many years, yet he had never been humiliated like this.
He stared at the gate of the House of Chen. When the two guards thought he would break in, he left them a sentence and left.
"In that case, this noble will come back another day …"
That slim figure slowly left the House of Chen. Her straight figure actually bent down at this moment …
