Chapter 45: Chu Xiuyuan's Family Affairs
Early the next morning, the eldest grandson Changqing didn't let the little maid outside the door wait too long, and got up early.
It was rare for her to change her previous taciturnity, and talked to the little maid with a pleasant face, instructed them to prepare hot water to bathe and cleanse herself, and instructed the little maid to wash and dress her up.
"Miss is so beautiful!"
Looking at the delicate appearance of the eldest grandson Changqing in the bronze mirror, the little maid couldn't help but exclaim.
The eldest grandson, Changqing, looked at the little girl who was staring at him stupidly, and couldn't help laughing. This little girl really doesn't know how to hide, thanks to the fact that there is no serious hostess in this prince's mansion, if there is a hostess in the future, she doesn't know how to hide her temperament, I'm afraid she has been punished many times.
The courtyard is deep, and in this deep house compound, there is no shortage of people who are willing to welcome you. It's just that some people know how to hide their edge, and some people ...... For example, this little girl is like this, she is full of joy and anger, just staring at her master for a long time, I am afraid that she will not know how much bullying she will be undertaken.
"Ahem, let's get breakfast! I am hungry. ”
The eldest grandson Changqing coughed twice and pulled the little maid back from her obsessive demeanor.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing was finally willing to take the initiative to eat, the little girl's joy was beyond words. Hurriedly put down the comb in his hand and hurriedly ran out of the house.
"Slave maid, let's bring breakfast to the young lady!"
The eldest grandson Changqing was helpless, this little girl only combed her hair halfway, and then ran away? How did Chu Xiuyuan find such a foolish maid for her.
After a simple breakfast, the eldest grandson Changqing was in a rare good mood, so he asked the maid to choose a few sets of clothes and try them out in a hurry. Finally, a set of peach-pink dresses caught her eyes, the fabric was high-quality, a touch of peach-pink, fresh and elegant, but it was very compatible with the current season. Worn on the eldest grandson Changqing, there is a natural coquettishness, but it does not lose the lively and pretty feeling of a girl.
After eating and drinking, and changing into a good-looking dress, the eldest grandson Changqing felt that he was becoming more and more energetic, and changed his previous malaise, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
In fact, after two days of decadence, the eldest grandson Changqing also figured it out by himself. In this situation, no matter what Chu Xiuyuan's mother and son are calculating, it doesn't matter. Now she is alone, with no shackles in her body, no worries in her heart, and she is only a cheap life, if they want to take it, just take it! Thinking about it like this, the eldest grandson Changqing's mood broadened a lot.
Chu Xiuyuan's side, when he heard that Xuanwu had returned, he learned that the eldest grandson Changqing seemed to be in a good mood, took the initiative to eat, bathed and cleansed, and chose clothes, Chu Xiuyuan was still a little surprised, how could the little woman who cherished words like gold yesterday seem to have changed her personality today? Does that mean that the eldest grandson Changqing has forgiven him?
Obviously, it didn't take long for Chu Xiuyuan's unrealistic idea to be extinguished.
Chu Xiuyuan hurried to the courtyard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the eldest grandson Changqing, who was smiling and talking to the maids gently. Chu Xiuyuan's footsteps paused slightly, and he was stunned, as if he had seen some incredible picture: Is this gentle, smiling woman in front of him still the eldest grandson Changqing who ignored him yesterday and was as cold as frost?
Xu is aware that someone was looking at him, the eldest grandson Changqing raised his head, and the moment her eyes touched Chu Xiuyuan, she immediately removed the smile on her face and returned to her previous indifferent appearance. Chu Xiuyuan sighed secretly in his heart: Hey, she really only treats him as cold as ice, and now in her eyes, he is afraid that he is not as amiable as these little maids in front of him.
Finding that the eldest grandson Changqing's face had changed, the little maids who were laughing were stunned for a moment, and then followed her line of sight, and saw Chu Xiuyuan standing in the courtyard. The originally lively small courtyard suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of insects among the flowers and plants became more and more harsh.
Chu Xiuyuan looked at the courtyard that had quieted down, speechless, was he so terrible?
The little maids secretly slandered themselves: Of course you are terrible! Your whole family is horrible!
Chu Xiuyuan waved his hand helplessly and sent a few maids out directly. But seeing that those maids were slipping away very fast, they ran away after a while, and they all wanted to get as far away from this cold-faced and cold-hearted Prince His Royal Highness as possible!
Looking at the empty courtyard, the eldest grandson Changqing frowned dissatisfiedly, how could they all look like they had seen a ghost? She glanced up at Chu Xiuyuan, looking too lazy to talk to him. Since Chu Xiuyuan promised to take her into the palace yesterday, then he will definitely keep his promise, she still has confidence in Chu Xiuyuan, Chu Xiuyuan, if he opens his mouth, he will definitely do it. Now that the goal she wants has been achieved, what is she going to do with him?
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing got up and wanted to leave, Chu Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward, lest she close the door and bolt again and turn him away.
"Changqing...... This morning, someone from the harem will talk back, and we will be able to enter the palace in the afternoon. ”
"Okay."
The eldest grandson, Changqing, responded very neatly.
"Is the door of the house repaired? If so, I'll move back! It's not good to let you sleep in the study all the time. ”
Xu is seeing Chu Xiuyuan's somewhat helpless appearance, the eldest grandson Changqing rarely took the initiative to open his mouth and said the sentence with the most words in the past few days.
Chu Xiu saw that Sun Changqing, the eldest child, took the initiative to speak, and his heart rejoiced again, secretly thinking that she still cared about herself in the end.
"It's almost repaired, and when we come back from the palace, we should be able to move."
The eldest grandson, Changqing, responded lightly and stopped talking.
Seeing that she didn't want to say much, Chu Xiuyuan didn't want to disturb her too much, so as not to make her unhappy again. He turned around and called a few little maids who were pretending to be busy in the distance, told them, and left.
At noon, the eldest grandson Changqing finished his lunch early and paced around the house a little anxiously. Although she was eager to see Ruan Qingguan, she was eager to know everything about her mother, but at the same time, she was a little flustered, because she didn't know whether Ruan Qingguan was willing to tell her the truth, or, what Ruan Qingguan said, how much was true and how false.
Since the eldest grandson Changqing can remember, everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been secretive about her biological mother. went up to the eldest grandson Kongqing, and down to the old mother who had served in the mansion for many years, and no one was willing to talk to the eldest grandson Changqing about Xin Ruoyi. Therefore, when she met someone who could know her mother well, her mood was not only excited, but also a little uneasy, and where this uneasiness came from, the eldest grandson Changqing couldn't say.
If her mother is really as powerful as Ruan Qingguan said, then how did she calculate all this? What are her powers? And where did it come from? What kind of inextricable relationship does she have with Chu Xiuyuan's family? She has been dead for so many years, not to mention the grave, she doesn't even have a well-dressed mound, and the entire Prime Minister doesn't even have a portrait of her! So mysterious, what kind of secret is hidden in her?
Just when the eldest grandson Changqing was anxious, Chu Xiuyuan came. Looking at the anxious eldest grandson Changqing, Chu Xiuyuan's heart froze: if there is no expectation, there will be no disappointment. I hope she won't be disappointed when she enters the palace this time!
Although it is the second time to go to this Dongming's inner palace, the eldest grandson Changqing is always a little apprehensive in his heart. Along the way, she clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and the sweat in her palms wet half of the handkerchief.
In the late spring and early summer, the Fengming Palace is a beautiful scenery of thousands of purples and thousands of reds and a hundred flowers blooming. A few little palace maids, holding gold scissors, are carefully pruning the excess flower branches, clumps, clusters of flowers, pruning the rules and neatly, but it is like the majesty of the middle palace of this regular step.
Seeing that it was His Royal Highness the Prince, the little palace maid at the door was blessed with a blessed body, so she hurriedly ran to the main hall to report. After a while, the little palace maid hurriedly came out to pay her respects, and then led the eldest grandson Changqing and Chu Xiuyuan to the palace.
As soon as he moved outside the hall, he heard several voices in the hall, and after listening closely, there were also male voices. The eldest grandson Changqing frowned, looking at Chu Xiuyuan opposite each other, and there were doubts in their eyes.
"Is Xiuyuan coming?"
Ruan Qingguan raised his head and saw the two people outside the hall who were not moving forward, and chuckled and called Chu Xiuyuan. But he ignored the eldest grandson Changqing beside him.
After Chu Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at the people in the hall, he also frowned. Early this morning, Chu Xiuyuan sent someone to deliver a message to Ruan Qingguan, it stands to reason that she should know that there is an urgency, why did she call Ruan Nanyan and Ruan Qingheng again at this time? This Ruan Qingheng is Ruan Qingguan's brother, Chu Xiuyuan's uncle, and Ruan Nanyan's father. A hint of uneasiness faintly flashed in Chu Xiuyuan's heart.
"Why don't you come to meet your uncle and your sister Nanyan?"
Ruan Qingguan saw Chu Xiuyuan standing outside the hall, his face hesitated, and he hurriedly beckoned to him and called him into the hall.
Chu Xiuyuan hesitated slightly, then reached out and held the eldest grandson Changqing's small hand in the palm of his hand. The warmth of Chu Xiuyuan's palm instantly calmed down the restless heart of the eldest grandson Changqing.
Chu Xiuyuan led the eldest grandson Changqing into the hall, and when several people in the hall saw this, their faces changed.
"This is ......"
Ruan Qingheng on the side asked.
"Look at this palace, I didn't see the eldest grandson girl coming!"
Ruan Qingguan pretended to have just seen the appearance of the eldest grandson Changqing, and spoke.
The eldest grandson Changqing sneered in his heart, this queen mother is really good at changing her face, she was long and short before, but now she has become "eldest grandson girl", this title before and after, others don't know, the eldest grandson Changqing is very clear in his heart.
"I've seen the Queen Mother!"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, bowed respectfully.
"Father, this is the ...... I mentioned to you. Eldest grandson girl! ”
Ruan Nanyan on the side saw Chu Xiuyuan holding the eldest grandson Changqing in his hand, looking partial, and he was very jealous in his heart.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingheng looked clear and stopped talking.
The matter has come to this, what else does the eldest grandson Changqing not understand? Looking at Ruan Qingguan's posture, it didn't look like he wanted to talk to her about Xin Ruoyi at all.
"Yuan'er, the queen mother called you into the palace today to discuss with your uncle about your marriage with Yan'er!"
Ruan Qingguan stepped forward with a smile, took Chu Xiuyuan's hand, and separated the hand he held with the eldest grandson Changqing. Then he turned around and pulled Ruan Nanyan's hand, stacked the hands of the two of them together, and then patted them gently.
"What?!"
Chu Xiuyuan was shocked, shook off Ruan Nanyan's hand, and turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Changqing behind him, although he saw that her face was as usual, Chu Xiuyuan had an indescribable sense of panic in his heart.
Although the eldest grandson Changqing was shocked in his heart, he did not show any emotion on his face. In this situation, she doesn't need to use her brain to figure it out. Ruan Qingguan called them into the palace, but he didn't reveal anything in advance, so Chu Xiuyuan brought the eldest grandson Changqing over, and wanted to come here, obviously to show her. The eldest grandson Changqing was neither anxious nor annoyed, but only looked at the few people in front of him calmly.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Ruan Qingguan was a little surprised, it is said that with this girl's previous temperament, it must be intolerable, why is she so calm now?
