Liu Er was picking plum blossoms when she heard a voice, so she asked out loud. She didn't hear a reply for a long time, so she got out of Merlin, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing outside Merlin, looking at a loss, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"Are you from Baili Village?" She asked. She rarely goes out on weekdays, and she knows that she can't recognize all the people in the village now.

Zhengxiu was already panicked enough, but at this moment, he saw this girl come out of the merlin, her hair was still stained with a little plum blossoms, her face was delicate, and a pair of almond eyes were looking at her and asking questions. Even more red-faced, red-eared.

It took a long time before he realized that he was rude, so he hurriedly bowed his hand, bowed, and said, "Xiaosheng is a person from Baili Village." ”

He lowered his head, not daring to surprise the person in front of him.

"Poof" Liu Er saw this posture and guessed who he was, so she saluted him with a smile and said, "It turned out to be the third uncle of the uncle's family." Liu Er was polite. ”

A third uncle rescued Zhengxiu from the panic, but it made him fall into embarrassment.

"Third uncle?" Zhengxiu said.

"My aunt is a Qin woman from Minyuan, so I should naturally call you the third uncle." Liu Er explained with a smile. "I heard that you are a talent in Baili Village, and you just showed me a talent salute, so I guessed that it was you."

"Hehe" Zhengxiu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly when he heard this, and smiled to resolve the embarrassment in his heart.

"Why are you picking plum blossoms here?" He tried to change the subject.

"Today, I want to make some plum blossom cakes. My younger siblings love to eat. You'll have to eat it later. By the way, I will bring some back to my grandmother. Liu Er said with a smile.

"Hehe, okay." Liu'er's smile was very bright, even brighter than the plum blossoms in that forest.

"Third uncle, I don't have enough plum blossoms here, you can help me pick some. It's getting late, so we're going to go back early. ”

"Hehe, okay."

"Third uncle, it's best to find the ones that are fully open, and keep those that are half-open to let them bloom."

"Hehe, okay."

Zhengxiu doesn't know what it means to refuse, as long as Liu Er talks to him, he will say yes, but it would be better if she could remove the third uncle.

Jeong-su thought depressedly.

Yinmian and Chunquan entered the Shuntian Mansion in a carriage on the evening of the 22nd and met with the Marquis of Chu.

When Chunquan heard that Shumin had returned to Baili Village and might have missed her on the way, he felt very sorry, but when he heard that she was fine and Chu Feng was by her side, he felt a lot more relieved.

After a night's rest, they left for Beijing.

When he arrived in the capital, Chunquan did not return to Prince Shun's mansion with Chu Yu for the time being, but arranged for him and Yinmian to live in a separate courtyard in the capital.

The water in the capital is very deep, and he doesn't want him to be targeted by someone without a little preparation.

Prince Shun's mansion was full of lights, but it was a little deserted inside, and there was no festive celebration at all, Chu Yu returned to the palace and went directly to the study.

In the study, it is antique, and Prince Shun is forty miles away, and he is seven points similar to Chu Yu. He was extremely well maintained, his face was ruddy, and his complexion looked good. Because Chu Yu now has a beard, the two don't look like father and son, like brothers.

Seeing Chu Yu, Huangpujie showed a friendly smile and said, "I'm back, where is my grandson?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed.

Looking closely, his ruddy face turned out to be due to the constant coughing, and there was a sickly pale hidden underneath the ruddyness. After he finished coughing, the little guy on the side hurriedly handed over a cup of ginseng tea.

Seeing that he couldn't stop coughing, Chu Yu's brows furrowed into deep Sichuan characters.

"Father, why are you strict again?" He clearly remembered that after eating the Tianshan Snow Lotus he brought from the Western Regions, his father's illness was much better.

Huangpu Jie waved his hand, signaling him not to be nervous, "It's only been like this recently, don't panic." What about my grandchildren? ”

"They're still on their way, and they'll be there in two days." Hearing that his father's illness was not strict, Chu Yu's heart relaxed a little.

"I'm back today, you go and put incense on your mother."

After speaking, Huangpu Jie waved his hand and let Chu Yu retreat.

As soon as Chu Yu left, his cough suddenly became violent, and after a while, the silk handkerchief was stained with scarlet blood.

"Lord Wang?" The little guy hurriedly patted him on the back, smoothed out, and said worriedly, "Why don't you let the little marquis know, the doctor said that you are sick"

Huangpujie waved his hand to prevent him from speaking, "This time I came back, Yu'er had too many things to worry about. You don't have to be public, and you must not add trouble to Yu'er. ”

After a pause, he sighed again and said, "If my death can make the palace man let Shuntianfu go, why don't I cough up if I die?"

Chu Yu left the study but went back, hid under the windowsill, listened to the conversation between the prince and the little servant, clenched his fists tightly, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable: It used to be my mother's concubine, but now it's my father's turn? What did I do wrong in Prince Shun's Mansion? They want to exterminate us!

The one in the palace, you wait, our Prince Shun's Mansion will definitely not sit still!

Chu Yu swore fiercely in his heart that he must seek justice for Prince Shun's mansion for his dead mother and concubine, as well as for his father who was sick because of poisoning.

Tomorrow is the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, and it is also the last early dynasty of the Apocalypse Kingdom this year, because Prince Shun has been sick all the year round and has long ceased to participate in court affairs, Chu Yu had to participate in the early dynasty in the name of the Marquis of Chu.

This is the last early dynasty of the Apocalypse Kingdom, but it is the first early dynasty that Chu Yu has participated in in ten years.

His appearance caused an uproar in the court.

"Chu Hou, do you know what is wrong?" Above the court, behind the thick curtain layer, Huangpu Ji'an's eyes were cold, looking at Chu Yu who was kneeling below, and asked.

"Wechen was just wrong." Chu Yu buried his head deeply, and everyone didn't see his expression, it seemed that he really knew that he was wrong.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. The emperor spared him this time, he can be regarded as having made a lot of contributions to our country! Taishi Shangguan Ji looked at the nephew who had abducted his granddaughter, and finally he was reluctant to give up, and pleaded loudly.

"Hmph, if it weren't for his past credit, I would have put him in prison a long time ago!" Huangpu and An Dafa Longwei snorted coldly.

"Young people are young and impulsive, but it is understandable that Chu Hou and Miss Shangguan are in love, although elopement is a bit ugly, it is not a big crime. I hope the emperor will calm his anger! "It was Huang Zijian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was a protégé of Shangguan Ji, and the teacher had spoken, and he was also a student who had the responsibility to exonerate Chu Hou.

"Hmph, Huang Shangshu said it lightly. What a crime it is to kidnap the crown princess, how can you let him go lightly! Prime Minister Situ Yingcheng said. As soon as he mentioned this, he was angry, Chu Yu obviously had a marriage contract with his daughter, but he eloped with other women, which made his Prime Minister's Mansion lose face, and he must not be spared lightly!

"Situ Xiangye, the holy decree of marriage has not been issued, and the Shangguan Concubine Xuan is not the crown princess yet." Huang Shangshu reminded: "Could it be that Xiangye hopes that it is the crown princess who will be abducted?" This is related to the face of the royal family, Xiangye has to think clearly. ”

"Hmph, although the holy decree has not been issued, the marriage between Concubine Shangguan and the prince has already been decided. Shangguan Concubine Xuan did not abide by the women's way, and Chu Hou did not abide by the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, so he should be punished heavily! Situ Yingcheng argued.

"Since the past dynasties, the selection of the crown princess has always been selected among the daughters of the Shangguan family, and there are so many daughters of the Shangguan family, when did they only identify the Shangguan concubine? Could it be that the current crown princess Shangguan Yunyi is not a good match for the crown prince? Is that what Xiang Ye means? Huang Shangshu argued.

"Since the dynasties, the crown princesses are all from the Shangguan family, before the prince is the concubine, the daughters of the Shangguan family are not allowed to marry on their own, their identities are all quasi-princesses, Shangguan concubines disregard their identity, despise the royal family, elope with others, the crime is unforgivable, and the person who abducted the prospective princess is the same, the crime is unforgivable!" Situ Ying knelt down and kowtowed, "I beg the emperor to punish him severely!" ”

"I beg the emperor to punish him severely!" The people who said this were all officials in the prime minister's lineage, and they responded to Situ's request, hoping that the emperor could severely punish Huangpu Chuyu.

"Ask the emperor for mercy!" Shangguan also had many disciples, led by Huang Zijian, who also bowed down to the emperor.

Suddenly, the imperial court was clearly divided into two factions.

Huangpu Ji'an looked at the ministers below, his eyes were deep, and he waved his hand for a long time before he said, "It's all leveled." At this point, many years have passed, and there is no point in fighting again. ”

"But the emperor," Situ Ying admits that he can't give up, is it true that the face of his prime minister's mansion has been damaged, and the grievances that his daughter has suffered over the years are just counted?

"Well, just stop, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Huangpu Ji'an interrupted him and said, "I decreed that the Marquis of Chu should be ordered to think about it behind closed doors in the mansion for three months, and after three months, he would marry Situ Yan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After that, the official will be reinstated. ”

"Chu Hou, you will receive the order and thank you." The father-in-law on the side sang.

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Chu Yu received the order and thanked him. At this moment, he had to be patient, so he didn't say a word and kowtowed to thank him. It seems that he has sincerely repented.

"Your Majesty, what about Concubine Xuan?" Seeing that the teacher sighed secretly, Huang Zijian dared to speak again.

"If you hire a wife, you will run as a concubine, and the women of the Taishi Mansion are the example of women in the world, how can virtue be lost. Expelle her from the Taishi Mansion and deprive her of her surname. ”

"Wechen obeys." The old lady's mouth was full of bitterness.

Chu Yu heard the words outside the hall, and his body stiffened. After all, did it still affect the concubine?

Why is it that it is I who obviously made mistakes, but it is Concubine Xuan who is severely punished? Not counting being expelled from the house, but also being forcibly stripped of her surname, what a humiliation for a woman?!

Concubine Xuan, I'm sorry. Wait for me, one day, I will give you the surname of Huangpu and become my serious wife!

Chu Yu's heart was sour, but at this moment, Prince Shun's Mansion was already like a paper boat on the water, and it would sink to the bottom of the water if he was not careful, so he had to be patient and hold the right in his hand before he could give that person a happy blow!
