"Fall..... Fall..."Zhe'er saw Xiaobao's shouting, and also clapped his little hands, and shouted not very clearly.

And Chu Xinyun's private room next door happened to be an acquaintance, the daughter of Mrs. Zhou, who had a conversation with her in the Lin Mansion, Zhou Yanran and her cousin Jiang Yutang.

Jiang Yutang saw Chu Xinhai waving at them, his cheeks flushed, his heart pounded, and he grabbed Zhou Yanran's hand and was overjoyed, "Cousin, you see Chu Tanhua waving to us, do you say he is .....?"

It's his daughter's family anyway, and considering his reputation, Jiang Yutang didn't say the next words.

But Zhou Yanran knew what it meant.

Zhou Yanran frowned, and said with some disapproval, "Cousin, don't think about it, I heard that this Chu Tanhua family already has a wife and children." ”

Jiang Yutang's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and her official position is not small, she is the only daughter in the family, and she was also pampered and grew up. So his temperament is a little rude and willful, and he is quite unreasonable.

As long as it's something she likes, she must get it.

Jiang Yutang said indifferently: "So what, I have already inquired, Tanhualang's wife is just the daughter of a small local county magistrate, and it will not help him in his career at all in the future." I'm sure smart people will know what to choose. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yutang's eyes flashed with a look of inevitability.

Zhou Yanran opened her mouth, but she didn't persuade again, she knew her cousin's temperament, and knew that it was useless to talk more.

"Mother, look at my brother, he is covered with flowers." Chu Xinyun pointed at Chu Xinhai funny and said.

When Bai Rou looked at it, she saw Chu Xinhai's face that was still smiling, but now she looked helpless, there were too many people throwing flowers and things.

Finally, after the parade ended, Chu Xinyun took Bai Rou and Liu Jing out of the private room.

The door next door also opened at this time, and Zhou Yanran walked out holding Jiang Yutang's hand.

Zhou Yanran's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Xinyun, "Xinyun, oh, no, see the princess." ”

"Yanran, you don't have to be so polite." Chu Xinyun smiled, she still had an impression of Zhou Yanran, the two had similar interests and chatted very speculatively.

It's just that those changes later made the two have less opportunities to communicate.

"See the princess." Jiang Yutang also blessed his body and saluted Chu Xinyun.

When it was Jiang Yutang's turn, Chu Xinyun's smile was not so eager, and he only said lightly, "No courtesy." ”

Jiang Yutang saw that she didn't have the same attitude towards herself and Zhou Yanran at all, and she was angry, but she was just a peasant girl, and she even put on a face for her.

If Chu Xinyun knew her thoughts, I am afraid she would say that even if she is a peasant girl, her current identity is also a princess. Seeing her salute, this is what she Jiang Yutang should have done.

Jiang Yutang had a calm face, and casually glanced at the two people behind Chu Xinyun, wasn't that Chu Tanhua's mother and wife? How could you be with the princess?

"We're in a hurry to get back, and we'll see you again next time we have a chance." Chu Xinyun held Zhou Yanran's hand and said with a smile.

Zhou Yanran readily agreed, "Well, okay, it just so happens that my cousin and I are going back." ”

After Chu Xinyun left, Jiang Yutang pulled Zhou Yanran's clothes and asked, "What is the relationship between those two and this regent princess?" ”

Zhou Yanran hadn't seen the two of them either, and Chu Xinyun hadn't mentioned it to her, so she didn't know, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I see she didn't mention it just now." ”

Jiang Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, since she didn't mention it, it shouldn't be an important person, she was afraid that it was the regent princess's person, so her plan would not be easy.

The next day, the morning court was made.

Jiang Shaoqing stopped Chu Xinhai, "Lord Chu." ”

Chu Xinhai stopped, looked back, and said, "Master Jiang, what's the matter?" ”

"I wonder if Lord Chu has time to go to the mansion to talk?" Jiang Shaoqing asked.

Chu Xinhai also knew that he asked this because he wanted to be promoted, he thought about it and didn't refuse, "Students have time." ”

Jiang Shaoqing saw that Chu Xinhai was a talent, and he was also on the road, and he was thorough at one point, remembering what his daughter told him yesterday, and nodded secretly.

The backyard of the royal palace.

"Ah~" A maidservant stood stupidly in place, looking at the corpse that emerged from the pond, her face turned pale with fright.

"What's going on?" A few other maidservants who followed the sound came running over and asked.

The handmaid stretched out her hand and pointed to the corpse tremblingly......

In the main courtyard, Ziyue's face was ugly, and she hurriedly ran in, "Princess, there is news for the missing maid." ”

Chu Xinyun stood up in a daze, "Where?" ”

"Dead."

"What about the corpses?"

"It's in the pond in the back garden, and it's been salvaged by the next people."

"Let's take a look." As he spoke, Chu Xinyun walked out with a step.

When they came to the back garden, the salvaged corpse was placed on the stone steps, and its whole body was soaked and white, and as for the face, it could still be seen.

The maidservant who was familiar with this corpse came out to identify it, saying that this was Satsuki, who had disappeared not long ago.

Chu Xinyun looked at the corpse, his temples jumped suddenly, he thought it would be good to find someone, but he didn't expect that the person would die.

Now it's okay, there is no proof of death, even if you want to peel off Zhao Meiya's skin, you can't do it.

"Huh? Princess, you see, the bracelet that Xiaoyue is wearing on her hand doesn't look like someone of her status can wear. The merry man was bold enough to walk around the corpse, and finally his gaze rested on her hand.

When Chu Xinyun heard this, he also held back his nausea, and walked over with his nose covered to take a look.

On her hand, Satsuki wore a bracelet made of delicate gold cutouts and rubies.

Chu Xinyun smiled slightly, "Take off the jade bracelet in her hand and go to a few jewelry shops in the capital to ask if this jade bracelet was sold in their store." ”

Happy wrapped his hands in a handkerchief and carefully took off the bracelet on Xiao Yue's hand. She didn't delay, rinsed the bracelet, and went out.

It took a day to run all the jewelry shops in the capital, and they all said that they had never seen this bracelet, and it was not sold in their store.

happily and listlessly took the bracelet back to the palace and told Chu Xinyun the result.

"That's it, I'll always find evidence in the future." Chu Xinyun took the bracelet and put it on the table casually.

When Yan Qinchang came back at night, he saw the bracelet on the table, and asked casually, "Have you entered the palace today?" ”

Chu Xinyun said: "No, why do you ask that?" ”

Yan Qinchang took the bracelet and walked in front of Chu Xinyun, "This bracelet that will only be made by the palace treasurer, I thought that when you entered the palace to see your mother today, the queen mother rewarded you." You see, there's going to be a royal mark in there. ”

He pointed to a small mark inside the bracelet, Chu Xinyun leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, it was so.

"No wonder .......," Chu Xinyun said softly.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

Chu Xinyun told Yan Qinchang about the corpse that appeared in the pond in the garden in the future, it was Xiao Yue that they were looking for in Xiyuan some time ago, and said that it was no wonder that they asked if they had seen this bracelet in the folk jewelry shop, and those shopkeepers said that they had not seen it.

"If it's something in the palace, then it makes sense, Zhao Meiya is the sister of the current queen mother, and it's normal for her to have the imperial jewelry in the palace." Chu Xinyun analyzed one by one.

"It's just a pity ......"

"What a pity?" Chu Xinyun asked.

Yan Qinchang looked at the light in her eyes, with an excited look, and he couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

"You're talking." Chu Xinyun saw that he didn't speak, and pushed him.

"Even if it's Zhao Meiya's, there is no evidence to prove that she did it. You think, Xiao Yue is originally a person in her yard, if she says that she gave Xiao Yue a reward, what do you say? ”

"That's what you said." Chu Xinyun was suddenly like a leaky ball, and the whole person went down.

Yan Qinchang touched her head and comforted her, "Okay, don't worry, Han'er Yao'er, let's have more snacks, don't give her a chance." As for Zhao Meiya, there is always a chance to clean her up. ”

Not long after, Yan Qinchang spoke again, "By the way, in a few days, there will be a banquet in the palace, and the envoys of Great Wei and Great Chu will visit Dali, and the new emperor will ascend the throne, and they will send congratulatory gifts." ”

Chu Xinyun nodded slightly, "Okay, I know." ”

.......

A few days later, Chu Xinyun was dressed in a formal suit, and Zhao Meiya followed her and entered the palace together.

At the palace banquet, the new emperor sat on the throne in a bright yellow dragon robe, and Yan Qinchang sat below him.

"Xuan, the envoy of the Great Wei is here." Gonggong Li, who served Emperor Qingheng at the beginning, is now serving the new emperor again.

After Gonggong Li read it out at the top of his voice, a man walked up with a few guards behind him.

I saw that the man in the lead was extremely beautiful, with long eyebrows like willows, and his body was like a jade tree, and what was rare was his silver hair, which was tied high. He clapped his hands, and several guards stepped forward carrying three boxes.

The man clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it on his shoulder, and bent down to salute, "This is my congratulatory gift from Da Wei." ”

The guards opened the chest, and the boxes of rare treasures shone with a piercing luster in the sunlight.

"Thank you, the Seventh Prince." The new emperor's still somewhat immature voice sounded, perhaps under Yan Qinchang's teaching, but it was a little majestic.

Chu Xinyun didn't expect that the envoy from the Great Wei would be a prince.

Gonggong Li ordered someone to carry the box down, and continued to read, "Xuan, the envoy of Great Chu is coming." ”

Then, Chu Xinyun was a little stunned and watched the familiar figure walk up from far and near.

Zhao Meiya glanced at Chu Xinyun, mockery flashed in her eyes, and she looked down on her appearance of not being able to get on the stage.

The person who came was Prince Gong, as for the woman behind him, wasn't it Chu Ling'er, and I don't know why he brought Chu Ling'er with him.

Chu Xinyun was a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, this is our congratulatory gift from Da Chu." Prince Gong said.

Gonggong Li came over to take it and handed it to the new emperor, and after the new emperor read it, he said yes again and again.

And the congratulatory gifts presented by Prince Gong are nothing else, they are the several cities that were lost in the previous war with Dachu.

Prince Gong thought very well, Chu Xinyun was her biological daughter, and Yan Qinchang became the regent of Da Li. In this way, Da Chu and Da Li are like allies.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time, and there is one more thing, I wonder if I can borrow your banquet to let me recognize my biological daughter?" As soon as Prince Gong's words came out, there was a sigh at the bottom.
