"His Majesty didn't say anything." Just like Chu Xiang, this was what made Grand Princess sad, wasn't it? His Majesty had always been kind to the Grand Princess, but now that it involved his daughter's happiness, he didn't say anything.
Maybe it was because of this that Grand Princess was sad. Everyone said that the Grand Princess was the most difficult princess to serve in the six nations of the Nine Prefectures, but the people of the Grand Princess Palace had always known that the Grand Princess was always extremely good to its servants.
The Chu Qinghuan in front of his was also the best witness. Just because of the grace of saving his life, Grand Princess had requested for her to be given the title of a princess.
Other than the Grand Princess, who would do such a thing?
"Go to the imperial dining room and get some porridge." Bi Yao Hou was waiting in front of the Martial Reach Palace for a while. When she saw Chu Qinghuan arrive, he finally calmed down and bowed deeply towards her after hearing her command, "This servant will be going now.
A few days ago, she had lived here as well, but she had only been in a hurry and hadn't properly sized up the palace. Now, upon closer inspection, she discovered that the architecture of the palace was unique and different from that of other palaces.
"What? Curious?" The Grand Princess came out of nowhere with a painting in his hand. "Although all the buildings in the Imperial Palace have their own strengths and weaknesses, they are all uniform. Only the Dancing Palace has been built in the Jiaqing for three years."
Three years of Jiaqing? Isn't that First Emperor? Chu Qinghuan frowned, she did not have any impression of First Emperor at all.
"You don't know this, but Imperial Concubine Feng, you should know this as well."
Feng Gui Fei? Chu Qinghuan's mind immediately became clear. She finally understood why she couldn't say anything even though she was so familiar with the Resting Martial Palace. How could she have forgotten that the master of the Resting Martial Palace was the First Emperor's most beloved Imperial Concubine Feng!
Phoenix Nest Parasol Tree, Phoenix Nest Parasol Tree. Emperor Jia Qing doted and doted upon Imperial Concubine Feng, and did not hesitate to help her restore the Dancing Phoenix Palace. When the First Emperor passed away, Imperial Concubine Feng was buried alive.
The legends of the Jiaqing years, in the end, did not even leave a single portrait to the people of the world.
"The former imperial concubine Lian, the First Emperor's imperial concubine Feng Gui Fei, his life is in vain." Chu Qinghuan sighed softly, entrusting her entire body to the King Family was not really a good idea.
"Lifeless? If they were to wait until their hair turned white, how much do you think the emperor would favor them? It's just that you have a lustful love for sex. "
Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but look at Grand Princess, and saw a very rare cold glint flash at the corner of her eyes, and the "lecherous old man" she was referring to herself, that Emperor Xuanwu had abandoned his as his son.
"Thus, no matter how much honor you receive, you will have to swallow a lot of bitter water. The royal family is no different."
Chu Qinghuan knew that there was nothing she could say. Grand Princess was a smart person, she never needed to remind others, and the sadness in her heart was mostly because she was blinded by the battle.
"His Majesty dotes on the princess and he would never agree to King of Xinbei's request."
Hearing that, Grand Princess laughed, "What King of Xinbei, it's just a title, he, Zhao Yang can only be a fence-sitter for the rest of his life. Let's go."
The two of them had just entered the main hall when they saw Bi Yao and Bi Tao walk over with their food boxes. "Princess, I've worked so hard this morning. Why don't we drink some hot porridge first before leaving?"
The hot porridge emitted a delicate fragrance, but Grand Princess only took a glance before shaking his head and leaving, "There's no need, I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
Bi Yao was in a difficult position. Although the Grand Princess had come out from the Martial Reaching Palace, his haggard expression didn't have the slightest hint of an early morning glow. If that was the case, how could he live for a good year?
Chu Qinghuan shook her head, signalling for Bi Yao to stop talking. Even though the knot in her heart had already been untied, the current felt like the imperial palace was a cold existence.
A moment later, the Grand Princess was unwilling to stay in the palace.
Madame Song's carriage had already left long ago, so Chu Qinghuan once again rode Grand Princess's carriage to the Prime Minister's residence. When they bid farewell, Grand Princess's expression had already eased up by a lot.
It was as if everything was unhappy only because she had been in the palace.
When she went to the Pear Fragrance Garden to pay respects to the Old Mistress, it seemed that the Second Wife was having a casual conversation with the Old Mistress. When she saw Chu Qinghuan coming back, she smiled and said: "This year is really happy, the southern side sent a letter saying that your uncle's family is coming back."
Aunt... Chu Ningjun? The Duke of Zhenguo is coming back?
Seeing Chu Qinghuan frown, Madame Chang did not want to laugh, "Looking at my memory, I have forgotten. Your aunt has left the capital for more than ten years. At that time, neither of you sisters were born. "
There was something wrong with Chu Wenzhang's intelligence, and he was exiled, so only Chu Wenchen could still remember Chu Ning Bi. Madame Chang carefully looked at Old Mistress, and eventually changed her excuse.
Chu Qinghuan, on the other hand, was peeling a tangerine for Chu Wenzhang. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said: "Aunt wouldn't have said it, I almost forgot. I just heard that Cousin and my cousin are dragon and phoenix among men.
Seeing that the Old Mistress's smile suddenly became wider, Madame Chang couldn't help but secretly praise him, Chu Qinghuan really knew how to speak. Everyone in the House of Prime Minister knew that the Old Mistress doted heavily on the Fifth Miss, but how many people knew how much the Old Mistress doted on their daughter all those years ago? Even if Chu Ningjun wanted the stars in the sky, the Old Mistress would probably think of a way to pick them for her.
And regarding the selection of her son-in-law, Old Mistress was even more careful, and chose Nangong Jingyu in the end. At that time, Nangong Jingyu was the second son of the former Duke of Zhennan, and there was no hope for him to inherit the title of Duke.
Old Mistress's actions were just to let his precious daughter be happy and safe in the future. After all, Old Mistress came from a battle in the backyard and knew how deep the water in the backyard was, and what kind of temperament her daughter had.
The Duke of Zhennan was a martial general family, and Dingguo Duke was a descendant of someone who had rendered meritorious service in the imperial court. However, after Nangong Jingyu received the beauty, he immediately set out to establish his wife, Yinzi, on the battlefield.
The son of the Martial General Family was invincible on the battlefield, but the former Duke of Zhen Nan and his Heir were not as lucky as Nangong Jingyu. During the battle against the Turks, the former Duke of Zhen Nan and his Heir had all died, leaving only the Duke of Zhen Nan with a thousand elite soldiers to carve out a path of blood.
Emperor Xuanwu comforted the meritorious officials, and Nangong Jingyu became the new Duke of Zhennan. Not long after, there was a commotion in the Southern Frontier, and Nangong Jingyu invited himself to suppress them. This trip took fifteen years.
As if he had already predicted that would come back with his beloved son and his lovely wife when he left the capital, he did not return to the capital again for the next fifteen years.
Chu Qinghuan did not have any impression of the patriarch and his wife. Even in his previous life, when Huangfu Jing ascended the throne, his Southern Frontier only sent him a form of celebration.
Chu Qinghuan made guesses in her heart, but in the end, she did not manage to find an answer. She tilted his head and asked: "What are you thinking about, little sister? "He's so lost in thought?"
Because it was the new year, Chu Wenzhang's attire was exceptionally formal, to the point where nothing could be seen. Chu Qinghuan smiled sweetly, "Brother still remembers Auntie?"
Chu Wenzhang frowned, "Aunt? Empress often discuss tea and refreshments with Aunt, I remember Aunt liked to eat chestnut cake and drink Empress's brewed tea the most. "
Chu Wenzhang frowned, but he could not think of anything else, "I … Aunt hasn't come to see Zhang'er in a long time, Empress said that he will marry his little sister to his little brother. "
"Cough, cough …" Chu Qinghuan choked on her tea, her pretty face immediately flushed red. Seeing that, Madame Chang immediately asked: "How is it, are you alright? Do you want a doctor to take a look? "
Chu Qinghuan shook her head, why would she think that her brother would not play according to common sense? What a joke...
On the other hand, when Old Mistress heard this, he smiled and said, "Your mother and Aunt Jun has the best relationship.
Marry Southern Goblin King Nangong Moyan? What a joke! Although the marriage of the Cousin sisters was not forbidden in the history of dynasties, but when she thought of the relationship between Huangfu Wushuang and her cousin, Chu Qinghuan felt disgusted. Even the marriage between the Cousin sisters was not acceptable.
Besides... She didn't have any thoughts of marrying anyone.
The biggest worry in her life was torturing Huangfu Shu, Chu Jinxiu and Huangfu Wushuang, the three adulterers until her death!
"Mother was just joking back then. Cousin's future is limitless. She can't possibly rise up to such heights."
Seeing that Chu Qinghuan actually tactfully refused, Old Mistress couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although the Second Girl was not as pretty as the Fuer sisters, she still had her status. If she were to marry Moyan, it might be a good marriage, not to mention that Duke Zhen Nan Palace only took wives without concubines.
Seeing the regret in Old Mistress's eyes, Chu Qinghuan turned his head around and pretended not to see it. To be married to a Duke Zhen Nan Palace cultivator? Old Mistress was confused. Although he had the status of a princess and wasn't feeling wronged when he reached the Duke Zhen Nan Palace, he was still a descendant of the Chu Family after all, and was backed by the Prime Minister.
The marriage alliance between civil and martial generals was the biggest taboo for Emperor Xuanwu. She would not be stupid enough to offend Emperor Xuanwu for the sake of a marriage.
"At that time, my sister-in-law was probably joking with my aunt. I don't know if my aunt remembers, but Moyan is already that old. There's no need for Old Mistress to worry so much. It's the new year, so I'm extremely tired. I might as well ask Qing Huan to go back and rest. After all, I still have to offer sacrifices to my ancestors tomorrow morning.
Sensing the silence between Chu Qinghuan and Old Mistress, Madame Chang took the initiative to play tricks on him. Seeing the deep weariness in Chu Qinghuan's eyes, Old Mistress nodded her head, "Go on."
After indicating that You Er was taking good care of Chu Wenzhang, Chu Qinghuan slowly left the Pear Fragrance Garden. When she left, Chu Jinxiu coincidentally rushed over from outside, "Second sister, where are you going?"
Chu Jinxiu was dressed in the red Yun Fei's makeup and the embroidered Hundred Blossom Butterfly Embroidery Embroidered Silver Rat Skin Cloak. As she spoke, the silver tassels on her bun glittered, appearing even more beautiful and flirtatious.
"I'm going to offer sacrifices to my ancestors tomorrow. Old Mistress has instructed me to make some preparations so that I won't lose my composure later."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghuan's words, Chu Jinxiu became absent-minded for an instant. Seeing the white jade bracelet which Chu Qinghuan revealed as she raised her hand to tidy the hair at her ears, she could not help but be shocked. "This is the Goat's Warm Jade Bracelet that the gave you after entering the palace?"
From West Liang? She took a look at the white jade carving string bracelet on her wrist. She hadn't taken a good look at it before, and she really hadn't recognized it. West Liang produced three things the most.
Beauty, jade, brocade. There were beauties like jade, and brocade like flowers. Right now, the rouge on her body was from West Liang, the white jade carving silk bracelet on her wrist was also a West Liang tribute, no wonder Chu Jinxiu had a face full of shock.
Thinking about it, Chu Qinghuan smiled: "It was bestowed to me by the Imperial Concubine, they said they are here to congratulate me. "If elder sister likes it, I …"
"What nonsense is this!?" What Imperial Concubine gave you, are you not going to keep it? " Chu Jinxiu scolded.
Chu Qinghuan laughed. Even if you like it, I will not give it to you. Chu Jinxiu, you overestimate yourself.
However, Chu Jinxiu did not know of Chu Qinghuan's true intentions. Instead, it was filled with deep affection for him, "Second sister, can you go to the Ancestral Hall tomorrow or quickly go back and prepare, I will not disturb you anymore."
