Chapter 500: Stepmother
After dinner, Chu Hanyan took a nap for three quarters of an hour, and Chen Afu asked people to wake her up and help her dress up. I heard that Zhang Ziqi liked the buckles on Chu Hanyan's clothes, Chen Afu took out the five pairs of buckles, packed them in lotus, and asked Chu Hanyan to give those girls a pair each.
At the same time, he dressed up Qiqi and Gray again. Not only did they bring them beautiful ankle rings, but they also tied a bow around their necks. Because Qiqi feathers are gorgeous, the bow is moon-white. The gray feather color is monotonous, and the bow is the color of the flower.
also repeatedly warned the naughty Qiqi not to swear or swear. If they behave well, let Jin Yanzi lead them and the Chasing Wind family to Xiangshan on the outskirts of Beijing for a few days. If you don't perform well, not only will you not be able to play, but you will also have to tie it up with an iron chain and go hungry.
Qiqi wanted to play and was afraid of being hungry, so he hurriedly promised, "I won't talk nonsense, I promise Daddy Chu." ”
I was afraid that those big dogs would scare the little girl, so I asked them to lead them to the courtyard of the old marquis in the outer courtyard.
The little girl's hall was also cleaned up, and there were some building blocks and puzzles on the table that were suitable for such a big girl. The blocks and puzzles are made of smooth small wooden blocks and small pieces of wood, on which are painted more complex animals, flowers and trees, as well as beautiful fairies, with bright and diverse colors and exaggerated and cute pictures.
Seeing Chu Hanyan, who was happy and nervous, Chen Afu held her face and smiled, "It's okay, my mother is in the upper room." ”
About the end of the time, a few little girls came to Zhuxuan one after another. Yinghui once again apologized to Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan on behalf of her grandmother Princess An and her mother Princess An, and reviewed her dereliction of duty as a host, so that the guest Miss Chu was wronged, and gave a basket of milk grapes given by the emperor.
When the little guests came, they were led by Miss Chu to her West Cross Courtyard to play.
Seeing those excited backs, as well as strings of silver bell-like laughter, even Chen Afu's mood soared. She didn't go with her, but let Miao'er lead Rome to serve there.
The little girls seemed to be having a great time, and the cheerful laughter could be heard even here.
The little brothers were so greedy that they kept shouting, "We're going to play with my sister." ”
When Chen Afu was having a headache, the people from the outer courtyard came to report that the Hou Ye had returned to his house and asked him to send the children to his yard.
When he heard that the male aunt was back, Chen Afu was secretly happy. Hurriedly asked someone to push Xiao Yu'er, led the little brothers, and sent them to the outer courtyard.
Chen Afu thought that this time Rong Zhao lost another big ugly, there will definitely be people who fold the bullet to impeach Rong Zhao for his bad character and bad morality, and when the battle in the south is raging, Rong Zhao, who provoked the "Bird Great Immortal", should not be allowed to continue to stay in the royal family.
During the dinner yesterday, the third lady quietly told Chen Afu that the old marquis had received a letter from the marquis of Chu and did not let the Chu family make any moves. In other words, people from the Chu family are not allowed to follow the trend.
The emperor already has a fear of the Chu family and the Marquis of Chu, and it is better for the Marquis of Chu not to do anything, just treat it as meat on the board and let the emperor slaughter it.
I don't know what the emperor will do with Rong Zhao this time, if only he could drive her to the nunnery......
Chen Afu was sitting on the kang thinking about his thoughts, and the autumn moon came.
Now that Qiuyue is a female official in the palace, Chen Afu also has to be polite, and quickly invite her to sit down and serve tea.
Qiu Yue smiled and said a few words, then picked up the tea and stopped talking. Chen Afu knew that she might have something to say in public, so she made a look, and Hong Fei retreated with her subordinates.
Seeing that there was no one, Qiu Yue laughed in a low voice, "Your Highness said that he has a great happy event, let the slave maid come and talk to the eldest grandmother, so that the eldest grandmother and eldest sister are happy." The voice was so suppressed that only Chen Afu could hear it, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandma." His Royal Highness has asked the Emperor and the Queen Mother to give His Royal Highness and the eldest sister a marriage. The emperor agreed, saying that when the good news of victory came from the south, he would give them marriage, and they would marry when they were fifteen years old. ”
This good news shocked Chen Afu almost jumped. She never dreamed that the emperor would actually promise to marry the young Xiao Eleven and Chu Hanyan. If this is the case, not only will Little Miss Chu be happy for a lifetime, but Little Eleven's life will also be better. I have been mentioning my heart for so long, and I can finally let go.
She is a little suspicious again, which is not quite in line with the emperor's personality. This emperor is relatively cold and thin, and he is not very trustworthy, which can be seen from the treatment of the great hero Marquis Chu. It's best not to take his promises too seriously. As long as he doesn't make an order, he may change his mind at any time.
Thinking of this, Chen Afu's previous surprise suddenly dropped a few points.
Qiu Yue saw that the surprise in Chen Afu's eyes only flashed a few times, and she regained her composure, a little puzzled. asked, "Grandma doesn't like them to marry early?" ”
Chen Afu smiled, "Where, I like it tightly." His Royal Highness and Yan'er grew up in one place, and they know their roots, and if they live together in the future, it will be good for everyone. However, this kind of good thing should not be publicized in advance, and it has not yet been completely decided, and if it is known by people with bad intentions, I am afraid that they will fill the matter. She didn't dare to say that she didn't believe the emperor's words.
Qiu Yue suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
When Qiu Yue left, Chen Afu brought some snacks back to Xiao Shiyi.
The little girls wanted to go home early, so they had an early dinner. At two o'clock, the people brought a plate of dishes to the West Cross Courtyard. These dishes are all made in the small kitchen of Zhuxuan, and they are mainly lo-mei and desserts. The dishes were also beautifully carved with cucumbers and radishes, which attracted the admiration of the little girls.
The little girls ate well, drank well, and had fun, and when they left, they wore beautiful and chic buckles, not to mention how happy they were. They went to the upper room to say goodbye to Chen Afu, saying that they would come here to play next time, and they would also invite Sister Chu (sister) to play in their house.
Chen Afu smiled and welcomed her, and was willing to let Chu Hanyan go to their house to play. Yinghui once again said that the next time Sister Chu went to her house to play, she would definitely not invite Feng Miaohua to ensure that Sister Chu would not be injured again.
Chu Hanyan and Qiqi sent the guests out of the yard.
Zhang Ziqi said in a low voice, "Sister Chu, your mother is fine." I've heard people say that a stepmother is not really good to her stepdaughter, but your mother is just as good to you as her own daughter. ”
Chu Hanyan very much doesn't like others saying in front of her that her mother is a stepmother and her stepmother is not good. But Zhang Ziqi said that her mother was so close that she was a little entangled and didn't know how to explain it. I had to pout and say, "My mother is very good to me, and everyone says that my mother is good." ”
Yang Qian also said, "I can't generalize, my current mother is also a stepmother, but she is also very good to me and my brother." For our sake, she didn't even have children herself. ”
