Volume 1 Chapter 80 The Second Prince's Sweetheart
Chu Yu nodded, indeed, compared to the General's Mansion, where the eldest brother and uncle were not there, it was indeed safer in the palace. And there's been so much going on in the last few days.
"Mother, how is Man'er?" , Chu Yu suddenly remembered the scene where Chu Man kept screaming last night.
Song Qingyu was about to speak, when a family member came in and said a few words in Chu Yanlin's ear, Chu Yanlin left in a hurry, and he hadn't even said anything to the mother and daughter.
Chu Yu looked at the back of his father's departure, thoughtful.
Song Qingyu saluted in the direction of Chu Yanlin's departure, and then turned to Chu Yu and said, "Today, my mother came to you early in the morning, but I didn't pay attention to the movement of my aunt. However, you took Man'er out last night, and Man'er may have been a little frightened, so you will go to visit the lady with some light gifts later. ”
Chu Yu nodded, she had this intention. The eldest lady's impression of her is not very good, and this time, I am afraid it will make the eldest lady's opinion of her even worse. For now, though, she just wants Man'er to be safe.
Song Qingyu hurriedly explained a few words and left. Chu Yu asked Shuangqi to prepare some light gifts, and went to the eldest mother's courtyard together.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chu Yu heard Chu Man's willful voice coming, "I'm not sick!" I don't take pills! ”
Then there was the sound of the clattering of bowls and spoons falling to the ground.
Chu Yu frowned, and his pace sped up. As soon as he reached the door, Chu Yu saw the eldest lady Lu Qiuyu coming out of the house with a sad face.
She looked up and saw Chu Yu's figure, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, "Chu Yu, what are you doing?" ”
Chu Yu saluted the eldest lady and said apologetically, "Auntie, Yu'er came to apologize for yesterday's incident, and she was assassinated last night, which frightened Man'er." ”
Seeing Chu Yu's sincere face, and seeing a bulge on his shoulder, Lu Qiuyu finally relented, and his face softened, "That's it, I don't blame you for the assassination last night, Man'er went out with him, and I also allowed it." ”
Lu Qiuyu sighed, and then said, "Man'er woke up screaming early this morning, probably because she was stimulated, I asked the doctor to prescribe some calming medicine, but Man'er refused to eat it." Lu Qiuyu turned his head and gestured to the broken bowl in the hands of the servant behind him.
Chu Yu frowned, heart disease still needs heart medicine, "Auntie, let me go and take a look." ”
"Well, it's okay, that kid seems to be still talking about your name." , Lu Qiuyu nodded.
Chu Yu pushed the door and entered, and saw Chu Man lying on the bed, wrapping himself in a zongzi with a quilt.
"It's all said, I don't eat or eat!" , Chu Man's moans came from the quilt.
Chu Yu was unhurried, sat at the tea table, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Man'er, what don't you eat?" Looking at your full temperament, it doesn't look like you've been frightened! ”
Hearing that it was Chu Yu's voice, Chu Man suddenly lifted the corner of the quilt, revealing a look of surprise, "Sister Yu!" Sister Yu, are you here? With that, she got out of bed.
Chu Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, this kid seems to be a little abnormal, didn't she cry in fright last night?
"Well, I heard your mother say that you refuse to take medicine." , Chu Yu glanced at her lightly.
Chu Man's expression paused, and he said aggrievedly, "I'm not sick, why do I need to take medicine?" ”
"But your mother said you woke up screaming today, and you were frightened by what happened last night?" , Chu Yu asked softly.
Who knew that Chu Man shook his head firmly, and said, "Sister Yu, I was a little embarrassed last night, but I'm not afraid, I screamed this morning because... I dreamed that Sister Yu was killed... I screamed in fright. ”
Chu Yu's eyes narrowed, she wasn't afraid? She fainted with fright last night.
"Then you fainted last night." , Chu Yu said lightly.
"Sister Yu, I'm not faint, I just fell asleep last night without knowing why, I'm really not scared." , Chu Man explained.
Chu Yu frowned, always feeling that something was strange.
"Then why don't you make it clear to your mother, so that your mother is worried." Chu Yu said with a smile.
Chu Man sighed, "My mother just firmly thinks that I was frightened, and she won't listen to what she says." After that, Chu Man drooped his head.
Chu Yu smiled, and sure enough, he was concerned about it. Also, his own child experienced such a bloody scene, but turned out to behave like nothing at all, so it's no wonder that people don't worry.
However, Chu Man shouldn't have seen much last night, after all, his eyes were covered by someone, and he fainted later...
After repeatedly confirming that Chu Man was fine, Chu Yu got up and went back to Yuhua Garden. Soon after she returned to Yuhuayuan, she received care from her aunt, a pair of high-quality ginseng and a few bottles of scar removal cream.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and it was time to enter the palace again.
At sunset, the red glow fills the sky, implying that tonight is a clear full moon night.
This time, for the sake of insurance, Chu Bingze insisted on riding in the same carriage with Chu Yu. Chu Yu has no objection to this, with her eldest brother here, she is also a lot more relieved.
When night fell, the moon had not yet appeared, but the stars were very eye-catching. Soon, Chu Yu and his party came to the palace.
The avenue in the palace was lined with low tables and cushions on both sides, and several red lanterns were placed on both sides, which fluttered and flickered in the wind, as if they wanted to ride away in the next second.
Chu Yu and the others were led to sit in one place by the palace people. Chu Yu and his party came early, and after waiting for about half a moment, the rest of the empty seats were full.
The outside of the huge hall is full of purple and red, even the dark night can not hide the splendor in it, which is the demeanor of the nobles. It can be seen that all the noble ladies have done their best to dress themselves up beautifully, just to let the person they like appreciate their outstanding appearance.
Chu Yu chuckled lightly and lowered her mind, she had no intention of competing for color and glamour. She was dressed plain white today, and her hair ornaments were extremely simple, and her body exuded the fragrance of a medicinal herb because of the medicine.
The emperor and queen came together, and hundreds of officials worshipped.
The Queen Mother actually came out later. This made Chu Yu deeply surprised, you know, the queen mother is so quiet, she has always disliked these grand events, I heard that she has believed in Buddhism over the years, it can be said that her sleeves are empty, I didn't expect to see her at this feast, it was really surprising.
The queen mother has a kind face, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, and dressing elegantly, which adds a bit of harmony.
The evening breeze blew on his face, blowing a few strands of hair, which made Chu Yu's cheeks a little itchy, so he reached out and stroked it. This scene was seen by the second prince not far away, and his heart couldn't help but swing.
Chu Yu quietly drank tea and tasted pastries, bored looking at the dances that made her happy, and glanced sideways at Chu Bingze, who was sitting on the side, who looked interested.
The dancers in the middle of the aisle were agile, twisting their waists and heads, and everyone was also watching for a moment, but Chu Yu always felt that this dance had a deliberate feeling for some reason, maybe it was her illusion?
Chu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Big brother, this dance is very satisfying to you." ”
Chu Bingze nodded without hesitation, then turned his head and asked, "What?" Yu'er doesn't like it? ”
Chu Yu smiled and shook his head, "These dances are good-looking, but I always feel that something is missing." ”
Chu Bingze didn't know why, and said with a smile, "These dances are very good, eldest brother, I am the eldest and the third, and I can't see what is missing, but Yu'er said that there is something missing in this dance, so there is something missing." After that, he turned his head to look at the dance in the middle.
Chu Yu smiled slightly, and then took a sip of tea, thinking very little. She looked around quietly, and found that there was no trace of that person, and the traces of the seventh prince were nowhere to be found, only the second prince and the eighth prince were chatting happily, and the ninth princess was teasing the eleventh prince to be happy, and Zuo Qingqing, who was not far away, seemed to be a little depressed because he didn't see the prince's figure.
After a period of singing and dancing, it was time for everyone to talk about their daily routines, but because everyone said a lot at the queen's birthday banquet a few days ago, there were not many new things worth talking about this time.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and then, the Queen Mother, who had been listening quietly and watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.
"Wu Ping, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival feast is getting more and more prosperous."
Wuping is the word of the emperor of the dynasty.
I saw the emperor smile and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, there have been more and more people in Beize over the years, and the merits of your generals are indispensable!" ”
The ministers did not dare to do it.
"Father, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the prosperity of a dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, no one's contribution can be ignored." , the second prince got up and arched his hand.
"Rui'er really has a clear mind." , The emperor laughed heartily.
The Queen Mother also smiled, and the movement of turning the Buddha beads in her hand did not stop, "Yes, Rui'er, it's rare for you to have such thoughts." ”
"Thank you for your grandmother's praise, and I also thank my father for my father's praise." , The second prince Wen Rui smiled gently.
"Rui'er, do you have a sweetheart?" , Coldly, the Queen Mother suddenly asked out loud.
Chu Yu's movements of holding the cup in her hand slowed down, and she had a vague bad premonition in her heart, she quietly raised her head and looked in the direction of the second prince.
The second prince's face was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the queen mother to suddenly ask like this, so he smiled softly at the moment, "Back to the imperial grandmother, Rui'er does have a crush." ”
Chu Yu felt the second prince's gaze glancing in her direction, and Chu Yu felt uneasy in his heart.
"Oh? Who is it? The Queen Mother paused when she moved the Buddha beads in her hand.
Everyone was also surprised, wondering who could get into the eyes of the second prince. Especially the nobles who are not yet married, they can't help but hold their breath.
