Chapter 166: Contest

In fact, Chu Yueqing was wrong.

Since Xuanyuan Hao entered the court, the situation in the court of Daqi has gradually become clear. The ministers who had been dormant to support the five princes became more and more active in the court.

"There are constant wars on the border all year round, and the people live in poverty. The minister implored the emperor to exempt the border city and Qunan Pass from paying taxes for three years. "Feng Zhan holds a fold in his hand, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is not angry and arrogant. Several ministers under the Three Princes pouted, not daring to refute.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Huainan Wang Xuanyuan Luo was also born to support.

"The border is already bitter cold, and it has been in war all these years, and the people are at this moment, and they should focus on restoring their vitality, and Feng Aiqing and the king of Huainan are right. I'm right. ”

Compared with the activity of Xuanyuan Hao's side, the atmosphere has been sluggish since the resignation of the three princes and the party from Zhao Taifu.

Wang Shangshu, Lin Shilang and Qin Shilang were separated from the three princes again. plus Xuanyuan Hao entered the Criminal Department. Originally, all the six departments in the hands of the third prince Cheng Wang lost the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment in just over a month.

Although the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites claim to maintain a neutral posture at present, there is no clear allegiance to Xuanyuan Hao. But Xuanyuan Hao is sure that as long as another year passes, these people are not his, but his.

But today, his father gave him a problem.

Looking at Chu Yueqing's sleeping face, Xuanyuan Hao was melancholy, how could he refuse, and his father would listen?!

The pace of the day is in order. Regarding Qianyue, Chu Yueqing ordered people to secretly search inside and outside the mansion for a few days, but there was no news of her.

"Moori, there is no trace of Qianyue. Where did she go, I don't plan to investigate, but after all, she is a person from the palace, and she is your sister, I will ask Steward Zhang to post a bounty list in the city for a month, and the bounty is a thousand taels to find out about her. ”

Mo Weaving was a little flustered, kept wringing the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, bowed her head and said, "The maid thanked the princess." ”

Chu Yueqing looked at Mo Zhi and sighed. After Xiaodong left, the relationship between them was estranged a lot.

That's it, with her current situation, who has a good relationship with her. Who's unlucky? Far away, far away.

At the end of February, Chu Ming came to Chu Yueqing to hug back the matters in Beijing for more than a month.

"Princess, this time the servant has reported..."Chu Ming looked up at Chu Yueqing's kind face, plucked up his courage and said, "It's about the prince." ”

"Lord Wang! What's the matter with the prince? Chu Yueqing asked worriedly.

Chu Ming involuntarily lowered his head. said, "Princess, the slave heard the news, and the emperor seems to be intent on giving the daughter of the King of Huainan, Lord Mingwen, to the prince as the step-princess." Also, rumors are spreading in Beijing, saying yes, princess, you..."

"What's wrong with me, say it boldly." Chu Yueqing said calmly, he had experienced life and death once. She doesn't take the rumors seriously anymore. She doesn't mind what others want to say is their freedom, and she can't run over and gag people's mouths.

"Say Princess, you... Your life is short..."

"Let them say go." Chu Yueqing didn't take it seriously, "They said that I won't have a piece of meat on my body." Anything else? ”

Chu Ming was anxious, "Princess, the slave dares to remind you." These words can't be spread by them, if they meet someone who cares, the fake will come true! ”

Listening to Chu Ming's words, Chu Yueqing's mind was full of alarm bells. Chu Ming has a point. Although she believed Xuanyuan Hao, she was not sure that someone would really take her life.

After a moment's thought, she muttered, "I see. You continue to go out to investigate this matter, and report it to me as soon as you have the news. Also," Chu Yueqing took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, "This is two thousand taels, you can find a store in Beijing and buy it, it doesn't need to be too big." Make it into a small teahouse. ”

After Chu Ming left, Chu Yueqing remembered Xuanyuan Hao's thoughtful look a few days ago, was he just worried about this matter at that time?

However, if he doesn't say, she won't ask. After all, she didn't have a short life. What should be known will always be known.

In the blink of an eye, it is the middle of March, the spring breeze blows the willows, and the river water is clear and rippling. Chu Yueqing followed Granny Yu to roughly learn a set of palm techniques.

March 12, this day is the spring exam. Granny Yu specially told her the night before, "I have something to do today, and you haven't been to see Master Ou and Mrs. Ou for a long time, so I'll give you a day off today to see them." ”

Chu Yueqing understood Granny Yu's thoughts, and Granny Jade also heard the wind outside, and this time she took a vacation to let her break the current seemingly peaceful situation, and also wanted her to take back sovereignty for herself.

That morning, Chu Yueqing wore a moon-white high-necked robe and a red plum blossom gown on his upper body. It looks chic and neat, but also dignified.

"Qingqing, are you going out?" Xuanyuan Hao was wearing court clothes, and the whole person looked even more magnificent.

"Yes," Chu Yueqing smiled sweetly, "Go to Hongfang Street to see my uncle and aunt." And Xiaodong, her wedding date is approaching, I don't know how she is preparing? ”

"Good. Be careful on the road and come back early. Xuanyuan Hao dropped a kiss on his forehead and left in a hurry, leaving only a back.

Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, Chu Yueqing felt a dull pain in his heart, "Are you still unwilling to sue me?" ’

"Princess," Mo Lian came to call her, the carriage was ready, when should we leave? ”

"Go now."

I don't know if it's because of today's spring test, Hongfang Street is not as lively as the day of the Lantern Festival, although there are still red lanterns on both sides of the Denghe River, but there are no pedestrians on both sides of the embankment. The restaurants on Hongfang Street are also a little cold.

Chu Yueqing lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and pondered.

About a quarter of an hour later, the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage, "Princess, Oufu has arrived." ”

Che Fa put down the carriage stool, and Moori Molian walked out of the carriage one after another. Chu Yueqing opened his slightly closed eyes, swept away the sorrow in his heart, and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

The mansion of the owner and Mrs. Ou on Hongfang Street has a unique appearance. On the gate, like all the houses on Hongfang Street, two big red lanterns were hung high.

Almost all the little guys in the Ou Mansion knew Chu Yueqing, and there was a little guy coming over, and he said, "Princess Hao, the owner's wife and the eldest lady are already waiting in the backyard." ”

Chu Le smiled lightly, ordered Mo Lian to give a silver leaf to the little girl, and then entered the European Mansion.

Oufu's house is in the area of Hongfang Street, which is a huge house. The little guy led the way, and Chu Yueqing and the three of them walked through the front hall not long ago, and came to a small pond. The pond is rippling with water, and the red koi fish swim happily in the pond.

The little girl stopped at the small pond, "Princess Hao, after crossing this small bridge, it is the eldest lady's boudoir." ”

Chu Yueqing nodded, and walked forward with Mo Lian and Mo Weaving. (To be continued.) )
