181: The so-called slander

Xiao Ziyu frowned, she looked at the soup in her hand, a little overwhelmed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She spread her hand again, looked at her palm, and sighed secretly.

On weekdays, she is handy no matter what weapon she uses, but now she is helpless to take a simple soup.

Chu Xue seemed to see something, and comforted Xiao Ziyu, "When the slave was young, she didn't know how to cook. The slave's mother also said that the dishes made by the slave and the maid were ...... It's for pigs. ”

She was originally comforting Xiao Ziyu, but when Xiao Ziyu heard it, she became more depressed.

Is this a description of the soup she makes, which is similar to pig food?

Xiao Ziyu looked at the things on the table for a while, and finally gave up the plan to make soup by himself.

It's really miserable.

If she sends away the dishes she makes, she is afraid that she will be misunderstood, and she is trying to poison someone.

Chu Qing was not as careful as Chu Xue, she saw that Xiao Ziyu was not interested in her words, so she interrupted Xiao Ziyu's train of thought again, and continued, "Miss, don't you really know about the Nine Princes?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ziyu no longer thought about making meals, and raised his head to look at Chu Qing with some doubts.

Chu Qing saw that Xiao Ziyu really didn't know, and immediately replied, "The Nine Princes were famous back then, and the slaves and maids heard them talk about the Nine Princes when they were young. ”

Xiao Ziyu smiled.

Chu Qing is not a few years older than her, how could she not have heard of what Chu Qing could hear.

When Zhou You'an, the ninth prince, was young, he was indeed talented and handsome. He made many noble ladies in the capital crazy. In addition, Zhou You'an is already humble and easy-going, and there are even more people who can get close to him.

For a while, many people tried their best to get close to Zhou Youan.

Although Zhou Youan is mild, it doesn't mean that he is dull.

Those who want to profit from him can't get close to him.

It's just that no one thought that after Emperor Wanqi ascended the throne, the famous Nine Princes would marry a mediocre-looking concubine of the Xiang family.

Moreover, someone once said that this concubine was actually in love with Emperor Wan Qi. She will marry Zhou Youan, and Zhou Youan forced her to marry.

Suddenly, the matter of Zhou You'an in the capital was rumored one after another.

Later, Zhou Youan and Xiang Jia had a conflict for some reason, and he was disrespectful to the current Queen Mother in front of many ministers, and was slapped with 20 boards by the Queen Mother in anger.

The Queen Mother was angry that day and ordered to be beaten heavily. The eunuch who did it was too heavy, resulting in Zhou You'an becoming lame from what time on.

Zhou Youan, who had a good reputation in the past, has also become an unkind and unfilial person. Even in the teahouse, the storyteller compiles these stories and tells them to everyone with a smile after cooking.

Zhou You'an's reputation is not good, this is something that the people of Dachu know.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Chu Qing in front of him, and didn't quite understand why Chu Qing was full of admiration when he mentioned this prince.

Xiao Ziyu pretended not to know, and said, "Do you think the Ninth Prince is a good person?"

"Of course it is!" Chu Qing was very sure, "The slave thinks he is the best person in the world. ”

Back then, if it weren't for the Ninth Prince's opening of a porridge shed to give porridge, Chu Qing was afraid that he would not be able to survive entering Xiao Mansion, and he would have frozen to death in the winter of that year.

Only the Nine Princes will personally come to the porridge shed to check, for fear of corruption by officials. Chu Qing was fortunate to meet Zhou You'an, who was still a teenager, when he was young.

Xiao Ziyu didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

Chu Qing thought of the reputation of the Nine Princes, and couldn't help but refute, "Miss, the rumors outside are not credible, the Nine Princes are really a good person, a good person." ”

She said it very stubbornly, as if she could let one less person misunderstand the Nine Princes, and there would be one less person.

Xiao Ziyu rarely saw Chu Qing so persistent, so he replied with a smile, "I know, I don't think the rumors from the outside world are very credible." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, Chu Qing didn't explain to her, Xiao Ziyu knew that there were too many things in it, and they were not as rumored by the outside world.

Why, when the first emperor was there, Zhou Youan was a talented prince.

As soon as Emperor Wan Qi ascended the throne, rumors about Zhou You'an's bad abounded.

Even if Zhou Youan is not good, he will be the prince of the dynasty. Who gave storytellers the courage to talk like this in a place like a teahouse?

The strangest thing is why the most intimate things in the palace are spread outside.

The reason for all this is very simple, then the relationship between Emperor Wan Qi and the Nine Princes is actually very bad, like fire and water.

Either Caesar or nothing.

When Emperor Wanqi ascended the throne, the Nine Princes became the losers in this battle.

The loser, that's it.

Xiao Ziyu figured these things out, so he didn't have any prejudice in looking at the matter of this Nine Princes.

It's just that this is a matter of the Da Chu royal family, and it has nothing to do with her.

She will not echo these rumors, nor will she defend the Nine Princes like Chu Qing.

Xiao Ziyu said to Chu Qing beside him, "Today's words, you just said it to me, and don't say it to the outside world." ”

If this is heard by the eagle dogs of the imperial court, it will be a big trouble. After all, judging from the matter of the Nine Princes, Emperor Wan Qi is not a Ming monarch, and he is also very jealous and resentful.

Chu Qing immediately nodded when she heard this, "The slave knows." ”

Xiao Ziyu didn't speak again, but as if admitting defeat, he asked Chu Qing and Chu Xue to stew rock sugar bird's nest porridge for him.

When the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Ziyu put the stewed rock sugar bird's nest porridge into the food box, and said to Chu Qing and Chu Xue, "I'll go out for a while, and if anyone comes to me, tell them I'm resting." ”

Chu Qing and Chu Xue looked at each other, a little uneasy, "Miss, where are you going? ”

Although the White Horse Temple is calm, Xiao Ziyu is a young lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet after all, and her reputation is naturally very important.

"It's fine. Xiao Ziyu said, "If you don't say it, no one will know that I went out." ”

She said resolutely, not giving Chu Qing and Chu Xue a chance to continue to ask.

Chu Qing and Chu Xue also knew Xiao Ziyu's temperament, so they didn't speak anymore, but just prepared a hand stove for Xiao Ziyu to warm her body.

Xiao Ziyu carried the food box and walked in the other direction.

At night, there was a faint chill in the air, and it seemed that just by taking one more breath, it would immediately turn into ice and snow, and people who were cold shivered all over.

Xiao Ziyu gathered his cloak and held the food box, which seemed to be a little frozen.

However, no matter how big the chill was, it didn't stop her pace.

She always felt that she was about to remember......

Xiao Ziyu's footsteps were not slow, but after a while, she walked to the courtyard where Bai Congjian lived, and she said to Eleven, "Please pass it on." ”

"Miss Seven, you go in and rest for a while. Eleven replied, "Master will go to the back mountain, and he will come back in a while." (To be continued.) )
