Volume 1 Chapter 31 Punishment for kneeling

Chu Yu lowered his head and said lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, the Eighth Prince is a genius, but Yu'er has no intention of marrying at present." Please forgive the queen and the concubine. ”

After saying that, Chu Yu arched his hand to the three mothers.

They all praised her very well, it seemed that they were looking at her as a person, but she knew very well in her heart that they were only interested in the forces behind her.

This sentence obviously made Yun Guifei's face a little ugly, because this overturned everything she just said, Chu Yu was not because she was scared, but because she really didn't want to marry.

How can a woman in the world not like the glory and wealth in the palace? In Concubine Yun's opinion, Chu Yu just looked down on her son. Now that the crown princess position is vacant, maybe she is heading for the crown princess position.

If her emperor can marry Chu Yu, she will be able to get the support of the General's Mansion, and in this way, he will have a few more chances of winning in the battle for the throne. It's a pity that her son Nan Geng doesn't like the struggle for imperial power, and only thinks about going to war. But he doesn't want to seek power, she, a mother, also has to plan for his future, this battle for imperial power, as a prince, if he can't win, if he is better, he can be a minister, if he thinks badly, he may die without a body. Throughout history, there have been many cases of kings and brothers who have turned against each other, and she does not want to see her son killed by her brother.

...

Yun Guifei thought about it for a thousand times, and smiled exaggeratedly, "Chu Guifei, you have to persuade Yu'er well, this woman, it's better to marry early, otherwise, when you get older, you will be disliked." ”

Although these words were said to Chu Guifei, they were obviously said to Chu Yu.

The queen also smiled and said, "What Concubine Yun said is not unreasonable, those of us who are women, it is not like those men who can break through the world outside, marry a man, set up a family, and give birth to heirs for the family is our women's mission." ”

"If you want to find a good family, the woman's age can't be too old, I think you are seventeen this year, and you have already passed the age of the year, this woman is the most vulnerable to the destruction of the years, and in another year or two, maybe you will become an old woman." , the queen mother paused and said.

Chu Yu sneered in his heart, these two ladies are singing double reeds!

Who said that a woman can only marry a man, start a family and have children? Women don't let the eyebrows, and women can also break out of their own world, but after all, it is a little more difficult...... But that doesn't mean it's impossible.

The queen mother and the concubine can really say anything in order to make her change her mind, but this may be what they really think in their hearts.

She felt that women were not necessarily inferior to men, especially when her medical skills were far superior to Shen Yun's. In her opinion, if it weren't for the overly harsh constraints on women in this era, women would have been able to work hard to make a difference....

Chu Yu raised his eyes to look at Chu Guifei, but happened to see Chu Guifei looking at her, Chu Yu evoked a smile.

Concubine Chu immediately lowered her eyelids and said, "What the queen mother and Concubine Yun said is not unreasonable, it's just an emotional matter, after all, it is to find the wishes of the parties, if the two really love each other, age is not a problem." ”

Chu Yu glanced at Chu Xinxian gratefully, her aunt understood her.

The queen mother sneered, "This is." ”

Yun Guifei laughed dryly and said nothing more.

There was silence in the air, and the atmosphere was instantly awkward.

Chu Yu suddenly couldn't understand why the queen summoned her into the palace and allowed her to come alone, if it was just such a simple gathering.

Isn't it just to make her an opponent of Yun Guifei?

If so, then her purpose has been achieved, and she kills two birds with one stone.

After some conversation, Chu Yu can be sure that Yun Guifei must have a bad impression of her, and may even be hostile to her in her heart, and Aunt Chu may also be hated by Yun Guifei because she helps her speak......

"The palace is a little tired, everyone is gone." , the queen mother helped her forehead.

Seeing this, Concubine Yun and Concubine Chu got up and blessed their bodies, and Chu Yu also got up and saluted when they saw this, preparing to retreat.

"Slow down, Chu Yu, you stay for a while." , the queen mother opened her eyes and said.

Chu Yu's figure paused, and he had to say, "Yes." ”

This queen still doesn't plan to let her go after all....

So Chu Yu had no choice but to sit down again, and as soon as she sat down, she saw her aunt's worried and meaningful eyes looking at her before leaving.

Seeing this, Chu Yu gave a reassuring look.

My aunt is afraid that the queen will embarrass her.

In her previous life, her aunt was very kind to her, and in this life, although she and her aunt haven't seen her for a long time, her aunt is still towards her.

"Go down all of you." , the queen mother waved her hand back and said.

"Yes."

Instead, Chu Yu saw that the grandmother and the two maids had retreated.

All of a sudden, only she and the queen were left in the pavilion.

The breeze was blowing slowly, and Chu Yu felt a chill.

The sun had risen to mid-sky, and the slanting sun was shining in, and the pavilion was half sunny and half shadowy.

And Chu Yu's position happened to be in the sunshine, and the queen's mother was in the shade.

"Chu Yu, have you thought about what happened last time?" , the queen holds the porcelain cup, the slender jade fingers and the porcelain cup reflect each other, and the bright red on the nails is particularly eye-catching.

Chu Yu lowered his eyelids, got up and knelt down to the queen, and said, "The queen, the courtiers are not talented, and they are not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The queen's expression was angry, and the fingers holding the porcelain cup tightened, "There is a limit to the patience of this palace, this palace will ask you again, my son is so good, why don't you marry?" ”

"The queen's mother, the courtiers are not talented, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an outstanding demeanor and thousands of manners, and the courtiers are not worthy." , Chu Yu bowed to the queen's mother.

What else could she say? Could it be that if she wants to say that marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will bring disaster to her family?

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Immediately, Chu Yu heard the angry voice of the queen's mother, "Toast and don't eat and drink, and the children can't be taught!" You kneel like this, kneel for two incense sticks, and you won't be allowed to get up until the time! ”

"Yes." , Chu Yu's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the joy and sorrow.

If so, she will not be able to marry that person, and it doesn't matter if she kneels for a day.

Xu heard Chu Yu's bland tone of not being sad or happy, and the queen seemed to be even more angry.

Looking at Chu Yu's indifferent and delicate face, the anger in the queen's heart was even worse, she flicked her sleeves and left angrily.

Does this Chu Yu think that he will not be able to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this way? Oh, naΓ―ve! Even if she doesn't marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she will marry someone else.... As long as she blows the wind on the pillow and lets the emperor make a holy decree, when the time comes, no matter who she is marrying, she will have to marry, and if she doesn't marry, she will have to marry... Thinking like this, the corners of the queen's mouth hooked up with a fierce and calculating smile.

Soon after the queen left, a maid brought two sticks of incense, and the maid took the lead in lighting one, and she had no intention of leaving.

Chu Yu knew that this was sent by the queen mother to spy on her.

Chu Yu knelt in the pavilion, a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, no wonder the queen asked her to come alone, it turned out to be because of this.

Her refusal obviously caused the dissatisfaction of the queen mother, it seems that no matter in the past life or this life, she and the queen mother will not get along, but she still has a trace of longing before.

The queen really played a good hand.

However, the queen mother intends to let her marry His Royal Highness the Prince, she doesn't think that her kneeling can eliminate the queen mother's desire for her to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, although the queen mother hates her as a person, but what she is looking at is the power behind her....

If she refuses to agree, and the queen insists on letting her marry the crown prince, there is only one last way, and that is to make a holy decree...

But it is not excluded that there is another possibility, the queen feels that her dignity has been disobeyed, and wants to marry her to someone else to retaliate.

According to the queen's heart, Chu Yu felt that the second possibility was higher.....

Although the morning was slightly cool, the summer sun was very hot, and Chu Yu, who was facing the sun with his back, gradually felt that his back was wrapped in a heat wave, and he was uncomfortable.

But she couldn't move, and before the time for this half of the incense was up, she felt a little numb in her knees.

Sure enough, power, what a good thing.

Chu Yu gradually felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, if the queen mother really asked for the holy decree at that time, then she really had no way to escape.

Chu Yu felt that she was uncomfortable all over her body, but fortunately, the heat wave did not last long, she felt that the sky was darkening, maybe it was the clouds covering the sun, anyway, Chu Yu felt that her back was gradually becoming cooler.

I don't know how long it took, but a stick of incense was finally finished.

The maid lit the second incense.

When there was still half of the incense left before it was burned, Chu Yu heard a thunderclap.

Chu Yu secretly said that it was not good, it was going to rain.

This summer day has a lot of rain, it will rain for an hour or two, and the rain is very violent.

The pavilion was gloomy, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of ash, and in a short time it began to rain in the sky.

The rain became heavier and heavier, occasionally accompanied by a few thunders and lightning, and Chu Yu could clearly hear the sound of the lake being slapped by raindrops.

The place where Chu Yu knelt was close to the stone fence of the pavilion, and the heavy rain poured in, and Chu Yu felt that his calves were wet with the rain. It didn't take long for a puddle of water to accumulate in the pavilion.

She now had to pray that the time would pass quickly, or the longer it would go, the longer her feet would be soaked in water, and she would get rheumatism.
