At the same time, in the post station a hundred miles away, Chao Jingyou waved his hand and threw the handkerchief into the basin, and let the accompanying little maid take it out and pour it.

But he sat still, staring quietly at the man in the curtain.

Qi Jiulu was originally born handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp edges and corners, and after more than half a year of military experience, he became more and more resolute. At this moment, even though he was in a coma, his thin lips were still a little sharp.

This reminded her of the knife-like gaze that this person had seen when he was sober...... No, most of the time, he wouldn't even look at her.

There is no quiet existence.

This is the upper room of the post station, but the furnishings are not richer than the old man, and some objects are there, which is inevitably simple.

For example, the bronze mirror used for grooming is hung on the wall, and there is no special dressing table.

At this moment, Chao Jingyou only needs to tilt his head slightly, and he can reflect his appearance from the side.

Her appearance is actually no worse than Yun Fenghuan.

Bent eyebrows and apricot eyes, pink face and peach cheeks, the nose is particularly good among the facial features, straight and exquisite, like a snow brick, because of the labor of washing Qi Jiulu just now, the tip of the nose is flushed crimson, echoing with the light powder of the cheeks, reminding people of the peach branches that bloom quietly in the mountains and wilderness in March.

It's a kind of tranquil and delicate.

It is different from the brightness and aggression of the thorny roses in the cloud wind fence, but it is not inferior.

In the back seat, there were two concubines who were named by her at random and set off together, one was a beauty from the south, petite and exquisite, like powder, with a skin that deceived the frost and snow, and pinched out the age of water; One is a Hu and Han mixed-blood Ji people with exotic blood, with undulating bodies like mountains, eyes like pearls, and can sing and dance with enthusiasm...... This is all after Qi Jiulu took up the position of the Northern Army, and he followed Chao Jingyou's advice and spent a lot of money to buy it, in order to relieve their sons of the lonely heirs.

Most importantly, it makes him forget about the person he shouldn't be thinking about anymore.

But so far it seems to have been of little use......

Qi Jiulu didn't pay attention to his wife at all, when he was in the imperial capital in the past, he didn't completely ignore her, and when he came back after going out, he looked at her with rejection and boredom in his eyes, and occasionally scolded and expelled, he could still see her in the end.

Since he had been to Qishan once last year, his spirit seemed to have been drained all at once.

The whole person has been cold since then.

After that, Chao Jingyou almost didn't hear him speak, not only for her, but also for her subordinates and outsiders, it was also a kind of indifferent indifference.

The only exception was when he met Jiang and his party who were heading south on the way to the Dingbei Army.

Chao Jingyou still thinks about it, and my heart is sour...... But she quickly suppressed this sourness, this is before she left the cabinet, no, it should be said, from before the matter started, from the time when the Chao family made a decision, it was already foreseeable, right?

It is said that Yun Fenghuan and Qi Jiulu's childhood sweethearts have no guesses, but they are both children of the Northland clan, why didn't Chao Jingyou grow up with these two?

They know her, just as she knows them.

Qi Jiulu, as the son of the Qi family, has been taught since he was a child to envelop the children of all families and plump his wings, because he seems to be arrogant, but in fact he is not an unapproachable character.

However, because Yunfeng Huang rejected Chao Jingyou and Chao's family, he directly gave up Chao's family.

"What's the use of you listening to her? Didn't she leave you behind? Chao Jingyou wanted to say this to him, "If you hadn't alienated my Chao clan so obviously, my father, brother and uncle might not have made up their minds so quickly to break you up." ”

Chao's size and status were originally a little worse than Xie's.

was suppressed by the joint efforts of the Qi clan and the Xie family's daughter-in-law, even if he did not say that he had fallen since then, his life was definitely not easy...... Chao Jingyou, so I never felt that there was anything wrong with this calculation of snatching love.

Who wouldn't want to have a better life?

If it weren't for Yun Fenghuang's jealousy since childhood, if it weren't for Qi Jiulu's fiancée who was too obedient to this childhood sweetheart, the Chao family wouldn't have to take the risk and step on the boat of the big man in Shenjing.

Originally, Chao's plan was just to let her be next to Yun Fenghuan, and use the Jiang family as her own daughter's business to confirm the name of Shuangshu in the Northland, plus her quiet and docile personality is very much loved by Qi Jiulu's mother Chen, and seek a strong in-law...... As for Qi Jiulu, of course it is best to grab it, but if you can't grab it, you can also turn to the Chen family as a goddaughter, and touch the light of the Qi family for a long time, and even touch the light of the Xie family as a sister-in-law.

Although this plan looks ugly, considering that the Jiang family is a heart-wrenching housemother who raises her concubine, it is speculated that her biological daughter should also take care of the overall situation, even if she is not happy, she has to swallow her anger because of the future mother-in-law's liking...... Not impossible.

But who knew that the virtuous and virtuous virtues rumored by Yunfeng Huang were all helped by the Jiang family?

She really understands the overall situation in front of people, pulling Chao Jingyou, her sisters and sisters shouting affectionately, but behind her back, she purges Qi Jiulu to come forward to be a villain.

Chen can use all kinds of means to learn from her prospective daughter-in-law who she doesn't like, what can she do with her own son?

This road is no longer working, and Chao can only change his way.

There are only a few in the Northland, and the top Qi Clan and Xie Clan don't want to see them, so of course they are looking for opportunities elsewhere.

As for the agreement in Sangzi, it will not be mixed with the temple and will not be involved in the high-level right and wrong...... When it's good, it's okay. 17

My own family has been excluded from the group, why should I keep my promise for those families?

After all, even if the team fails and ends miserably, once you choose the right one, you will have a promising future.

At that time, the Chao family didn't have many choices, and as one of the Chao family's rooms, Chao Jingyu had even fewer choices.

There is no skilled housewife like the Jiang family, and there are not many male heirs to support the momentum...... Chao Jingyou was able to rise out of the family, but it was because of her natural good looks and the tameness that she had to cultivate. son, let the family feel that she is worthy of cultivation.

So she can only endure and wait.

…… Retracting his gaze on the bronze mirror on the wall, Chao Jingyou observed Qi Jiulu for a while, and saw that his breath was quite stable, so he flicked his sleeves, got up and left, and entered the room next to him.

"Qi Jiulu is okay?" Turn the screen at the door, it is a small flower hall, set up a round table embroidered stool, not far away to the carved Baibaoyue cave door leading to the inside, there is a hanging bead curtain as a partition.

I couldn't tell the inside situation, but a deep voice asked casually.

Chao Jingyou lowered his head slightly and said, "My grandson's injury is not worrying about his life for the time being. ”

The people inside said "um": "I will arrive in the imperial capital in the near future, what should I do at that time, do you still have doubts?" ”

"The concubine obeys the orders." Chao Jingyu did not hesitate.

"After the deed is completed, the master will accept you as a righteous daughter." The person inside laughed, "Of course the Chao clan also has a reward...... If it's all right, go down. ”

Chao Jingyu groaned and said, "Before, the Imperial City Division had sent someone to the north to thoroughly investigate the matter of Xie Fengwei, and the conclusion was that the Wang family was the culprit. ”

There was no movement behind the curtain for a while, and she didn't say anything more, only blessed and retired calmly.

After going out, he didn't go back to Qi Jiulu's residence, but walked to the back and sat upside down and placed the two concubines. There were several masters and servants here, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Before Chao Jingyou could speak, someone called the servant woman inside, took out a big red silk swaddling cloth, wrapped in a baby with his eyes closed and breathing weakly, and whispered to Chao Jingyou: "...... Miss Sun has just eaten it...... Fall asleep...... It's a little heavier......"

Chao Jing listened quietly for a moment, and said lightly: "Good life is waiting." ”

He lowered his eyes and looked at the baby's cheek for a while, stretched out his finger and nodded, but he didn't hug it, and turned away.

…… And at this moment, in the Imperial Palace, on the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang was holding Princess Zhaoqing, and said to Yi Xingen, who was kneeling with His Royal Highness: "Wait for Your Majesty to come over later, you will serve the meal." ”

Yi Xingen respectfully thanked her, and got up after being ordered by the lord, so she stood up cautiously and stood beside her, without even looking at Princess Zhaoqing.

Yun Fenghuan was satisfied with this duty, but took the initiative to hand over the princess to the palace people and hugged her, so that she could kiss her for a while: "You are the princess's biological mother, you have always had time, and you can come over from time to time to take a look." ”

"Concubine body thank Niangniang for her grace!" Princess Zhaoqing is already cute and her own daughter, Yi Xingen naturally can't say how much she likes, but in front of Yun Fenghuang, she only hugged her slightly, and hurriedly returned the swaddling clothes to the palace people, but she praised the virtuous and generous concubine without a mouth, and told her that she was lucky and blessed to be able to enter Xuanqing Palace...... With such a flattery, Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Chenguang was about to come to the Son of Heaven, Yun Fenghuang went inside to change her clothes, and also asked her to go to the side hall to pick up her appearance, after all, she had to sleep for Chunjia tonight, even if she was a stunning beauty, she should strive for perfection, right?

"Why do you want to continue to lift up this Yishi?" Qing people followed up in the inner hall to serve, and whispered to Yun Fenghuan, "The appearance of the Qu family is not bad, and the temperament is also gentle and lovely. This Yi clan has already given birth to a princess anyway, although it is quite humble and respectful, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and they must be guarded against. ”

After all, in terms of beauty, Yi Xingen is even more above the cloud wind fence.

also gave birth to Yuxue's lovely eldest daughter.

If she is allowed to have children one after another, she may be able to accumulate credit and be crowned a concubine - who knows if she will take revenge at that time?

You must know the rules of the palace ban, since the eldest daughter of the emperor Gongxiangzhen is recorded in the name of Yunfenghuang, then even if he gives birth to his mother as a concubine and can personally raise his children, Gongxiangzhen's mother is still a virtuous concubine, not a biological mother.

But whether it is considering the mother-daughter relationship or the solid favor brought by the princess and the reliance after aging, how many biological mothers are willing to give up their biological flesh and blood like this?

When the time comes, it is necessary to have a fight with the former lord.

This kind of thing happened not once or twice in the previous dynasty.

If it is an ordinary palace concubine, the Qing people should not take it seriously, Yi Xingen's words, she is still very stressed for Yun Fenghuan.

The most important thing is......

Chunjia came to Xuanqing Palace these days, but it was inconvenient for Yunfeng Huang to remove himself, otherwise he would not arrange for the palace concubines to sleep.

Now that I have done this, it is difficult not to let the Qing people suspect that it is because of Qi Jiulu's news.

Let this master be in turmoil.

She didn't dare to ask this taboo word directly, so she chose Yi Shi as the topic, thinking about whether it was a tactful temptation or a tactful persuasion?
