This scene stunned all the people in the other rooms, and no one made a sound for a while.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion had heard of the recent discord between Chu Lingxiao and the Shen couple, but they didn't expect their "discord" to this extent.

Everyone also knew that Chu Lingxiao had a short temper recently because of a leg injury, so they tried their best to avoid him and let him, what shocked them was that the Shen family, who had always been dignified and virtuous on weekdays, started a fire, and it was like this.

Mrs. Tai's eyebrows tightened, and she scolded Shen Shi: "Ah Zhi, what the hell are you doing?!" ”

Mrs. Tai's temples jumped suddenly, her headache was splitting, and she also felt that Chu Qianchen was really a troublemaker, and many things that had happened in the mansion recently had something to do with her to a greater or lesser extent.

Shen calmly stroked his skirt and said, "Mother, you should ask Master Hou this sentence." ”

She raised her phoenix eyes and did not hide the ridicule in her eyes.

Chu Lingxiao barely stood up with the support of the two little guys, and his injured leg was painful.

He gritted his teeth and scolded: "Shen Zhi, are you crazy?!" ”

"You dare to do something to Ben Hou for such a troublemaker?! Do you know what it means to be gentle and elegant as a woman! ”

Chu Lingxiao just fell, his sideburns were messy, his robe was stained with some mud, his handsome facial features were slightly distorted because of pain, and the whole person was embarrassed, which was in stark contrast to the arrogant Shen family.

Chu Qianchen took half a step forward, walked to Shen's side, looked at Chu Lingxiao and asked, "I don't know if my father is dissatisfied with King Chen, or is he dissatisfied with the emperor?" ”

She asked this sentence very seriously.

Chu Lingxiao: "......"

Chu Lingxiao seemed to be choked by the throat, dumbfounded.

was dissatisfied with the emperor, it was a protest order, and Chu Lingxiao didn't dare.

He also didn't dare to admit that he was dissatisfied with King Chen, even if King Chen was seriously ill now, and King Chen's subordinates wanted to clean up a Yongding Marquis Mansion, it was still a matter of raising his fingers!

Chu Qianchen saw through Chu Lingxiao at a glance, she had seen a lot of people like him in her previous life, that is, she was just in the nest.

In his previous life, Chu Qianchen's last impression of this biological father was his indifference and determination when he gave up himself.

In his heart, his daughter is dispensable and discarded.

In the years that followed, that scene became a nightmare for her midnight dreams, etched in her heart and memory.

It wasn't until a long, long time later that she became strong enough that Chu Lingxiao couldn't affect her in the slightest.

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Lingxiao a few steps away, and said in a light and sharp tone: "If my father is dissatisfied with this holy decree, you can go to the emperor or go to King Chen's mansion to resign from the marriage, I have nothing to say." ”

"......" Chu Lingxiao was speechless, and she was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

Chu Qianchen didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Lingxiao anymore, she grabbed Shen's arm with one hand, and when she faced Shen, her eyes softened, and her tone was a little coquettish, "Mother, let's go." ”

She greeted Chu Yunmu again: "Brother Mu, let's go!" ”

"Oh." Chu Yunmu was used to listening to his sister's words, so he followed without thinking.

Five-year-old Chu Yunmu was still a little confused about the situation, and as he walked, he asked, "Chu Qianchen, can I take a look at the holy decree?" ”

Chu Qianchen conveniently stuffed the holy decree to him, and advised: "Don't look at it while walking, go back and look at it again." ”

"Oh." Chu Yunmu got what he wanted and obediently agreed.

The three of them left so many people in the Hou Mansion and left.

Looking at the backs of the three Shen clans, Chu Lingxiao's eyes were cloudy, and the green tendons between his neck appeared and disappeared from time to time. It's like a volcano that can erupt at any moment.

The atmosphere around him became more and more oppressive and solemn.

Chu Lingyu, the second master of Chu, exchanged a look with his two younger brothers.

Chu Lingyu hesitated to take a few steps forward, cleared his throat and called, "Big brother." ”

Chu Lingyu and the others also felt that the emperor's marriage was inappropriate, and wanted to discuss with Chu Lingxiao how to deal with it.

Chu Lingxiao looked at his three younger brothers, his face was hot and painful, and when he thought back to the scene in the school field before, he was ashamed and angry, he was really embarrassed today.

He wanted to save the face of the head of his family, and said in a deep voice with righteous words: "Hey, your sister-in-law has a short vision, and the emperor's marriage sounds like a great honor, but everyone knows that Sister Chen is just a happy person." ”

"Now that King Chen is seriously ill, he sees that people are going to disappear at any time, even before Sister Chen'er gets married, King Chen will die, and our Chu family and King Chen's Mansion will be inseparable."

"When the time comes, the emperor will settle the old accounts, and our Chu family will have some room to turn over!"

"Your sister-in-law has been getting more and more out of proportion recently, blindly favoring Sister Chen, and I don't know what ** soup Sister Chen poured her."

Chu Lingxiao looked angry and said, "This Hou is all for the sake of our Chu family. ”

What Chu Lingxiao said was also what Chu Lingyu was worried about.

In the final analysis, no matter how much Chu Lingxiao and his wife quarrel, it is a family matter of the Chu family, but Chu Qianchen's family affair will affect the entire Chu family.

The sons and girls of the Chu family originally thought that Chu Qianchen's joy was her own business, but now when they heard Chu Lingxiao's analysis, their faces also changed, worried, anxious, irritable, etc.

"Mother, what are we going to do?" The third lady Yu looked at Mrs. Tai uneasily, and asked in a snort, "Do you want to ask the noble concubine and His Royal Highness the second prince?" ”

The Yu family actually doubted in his heart whether the Chu family or Concubine Chu had offended the emperor recently, and the emperor would give such a marriage.

"Now that so many pairs of eyes are staring at the Hou Mansion, it is not appropriate to enter the palace at this time." Mrs. Tai vetoed without hesitation, and her hands tightly clenched the string of rosewood beads in her hands, and her face sank like water.

Originally, she wanted to give Chu Qianchen to the second prince as a side concubine, who knew that this girl was a high-eyed and low-level master, but she refused, and kept saying that she would not be a concubine, and now she has brought such a catastrophe to the Hou Mansion.

As the eldest son said, where is this princess, it is clearly a broom star, and the Chu family is roasted on the fire!

The Hou Mansion really suffered this catastrophe in vain!

Mrs. Tai held her breath in her heart, and had nowhere to vent, so she couldn't help but be angry: "How did Aunt Jiang teach her daughter and raise her daughter like this!" ”

"How can this be blamed on Minshan, she is like Shen Zhi!" Chu Lingxiao blurted out a retort.

He clenched the cane in his hand, his eyelids trembled, and he said, "This girl has been following Shen Zhi recently, alienating her aunt, who taught it in the end!" ”

As he spoke, his face became a little more angry, and he seemed to still be resentful of the fact that Shen had kicked off his crutches just now.

Mrs. Tai rubbed her eyebrows, looked tired, and said, "Ling Xiao, Ling Yu, Ling Ting, Ling Tao, a few of you come with me, and everyone else should go back." ”

Mrs. Tai only called her four sons, and sent all her daughters-in-law and grandchildren away.

The Liu family, the Yu family and the others all responded obediently, and went back to their respective courtyards, but Chu Yunyi did not leave, looking at the backs of Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingxiao in a daze.

Chu Yunyi's eyebrows frowned.

Judging from the conversation between my father and grandmother just now, this marriage is not good.

Moreover, the father and grandmother were very angry, and they were obviously angry with the second sister.

"The eldest young master," his little girl was upset for his own young master, "You have received the emperor's praise today, it is a great happy event, and the second ...... is biased" The second girl dragged the eldest young master back!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Yunyi came back to his senses and interrupted the little girl unhappily, "This marriage gift was not asked for by the second sister. "My father and grandmother knew this, but they were still angry with the second sister!

The little girl regrets that she has a fast mouth, too, how can the second girl say that she is also the sister of the eldest young master.

He hurriedly changed his words: "The eldest young master is right, who likes to give people joy!" ”

Chu Yunyi muttered softly: "King Chen is estimated to be a sick seedling, where is he worthy of the second sister!" ”

Thinking that Chu Qianchen was going to get married in three days, Chu Yunyi was not very happy in his heart: when she got married, she would have to live in her husband's house, and she wouldn't be able to come back often in the future, so wouldn't she have a chance to impress her?!

The more Chu Yunyi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he really didn't like the future second brother-in-law he had never met. There is already a fourth brother in the house who is sticking to the second sister all day long, and now there is a sick seedling again!

Thinking that Chu Qianchen remembered to greet Chu Yunmu when he left, Chu Yunyi felt a little stuffy in his chest, obviously he was her own brother, but she didn't even look at him.

This man is really heartless!

Chu Yunyi flicked his sleeves heavily, and threw two words at the little guy: "Let's go." ”

The little guy hurriedly followed, thinking that his young master was going back to his yard, but he saw him going in the direction of the Neiyi Gate.

Naturally, the little girl couldn't enter the inner courtyard, scratched his head, and said in his heart: Could it be that the eldest young master is going to find the second girl? So the eldest young master is worried about the second girl?

Chu Yunyi walked slowly towards the main courtyard, he was not worried about Chu Qianchen, he just wanted to ask her what her plans were.

That's right, that's it.

With Chu Qianchen's mouse guts, he must be afraid of death now, maybe he is crying......

Thinking about it, Chu Yunyi subconsciously quickened his pace.

But he crossed the threshold of the Neiyi Gate, changed his mind again, turned around and walked back, and called his little servant: "Accompany me out of the door." ”

The little guy only agreed, and felt that his young master was really fickle.

The sun is slanting in the west, there is a little golden light hanging among the flowers in the treetops, and the Hou Mansion is exceptionally quiet at this moment, and the people subconsciously lighten their steps and sounds, and they are lifeless.

The same is true of the main court.

Knowing that the Shen family and Chu Qianchen had something to say, Mama Chen took the other maids out with interest, and even Chu Yunmu was sent to "play" the holy decree.

"Boom!"

There was a strange noise in the eastern room.

"How can it be!" Shen was still angry, and put the half-drunk tea cup on the coffee table, and the tea spilled slightly, not spilling Shen himself, but accidentally splashing on Chu Qianchen's dress.

Shen frowned slightly, took Chu Qianchen's hand and got up and said, "Sister Chen, go change your clothes." ”

"You've grown taller again, and you're about as tall as I am. It just so happens that I have a few clothes here that I have never worn, I made them when I was in my twenties, and the colors are very bright, and now I am not suitable for wearing such tender colors, so I will give them to you. ”

Shen took Chu Qianchen's hand and walked in the direction of the blue yarn cabinet.

In fact, Chu Qianchen's dress was just a few drops of finger-sized tea stains, which was okay at all, but Chu Qianchen saw that Shen was in a bad mood, so he followed her wishes.

Shen found good clothes for Chu Qianchen and went out.

When she Chu Qianchen came out after changing her clothes, she saw Shen sitting next to the tea case, with a set of tea sets prepared on the case, and the purple clay pot on the red clay stove next to it was steaming white, making a slight sound of boiling water.

This is...... The tip of Chu Qianchen's nose moved, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

Shen raised his eyes to look at her and smiled, "You really look good in this dress!" ”

Chu Qianchen was wearing a red skirt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and the bright material was embroidered with large hibiscus flowers, which lined her skin like jade, and she was more delicate than flowers.

"Sister Chen, come and sit." Shen beckoned to her.

After Chu Qianchen's tea kung fu of changing clothes, Shen had already sorted out his thoughts, calmed down a lot, and said softly: "This matter...... Don't worry. ”

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry." Chu Qianchen sat down opposite the Shen family, smiled slightly, and gave her a sweet smile, "I'll make you tea." ”

She picked up the purple clay pot on the stove and skillfully scalded the cup, washed the tea, brewed, sealed the pot, and divided the cup...... A whole set of tea-making movements are as smooth and natural as flowing water, elegant and calm, and a bit of rigidity and softness.

It's as beautiful as a painting!

Shen Shi watched Chu Qianchen's every move in a daze, with mixed feelings.

Originally, she had already thought about it, and she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to ask Chu Qianchen if she had a crush, she wanted to record this girl in her name and find a good family for her, but she didn't expect this decree to give marriage to come too suddenly......

All of a sudden, things got a little troublesome.

At this time, Chu Qianchen made tea and personally served tea to the Shen family, "Mother, drink tea." ”

A light smile tugged on her lips, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices, with a delicate smile and a relaxed atmosphere.

But in Shen's eyes, he felt that Chu Qianchen was afraid that he would be worried, so he would do this.

She is just a girl under the age of fourteen, how can she not panic when she suddenly encounters such a thing!

Shen took the blue and white porcelain teacup, put it aside, held Chu Qianchen's plain hand, and said in an orderly manner: "Sister Chen, although it is said that the Son of Heaven has a golden mouth, this marriage may not be without room for maneuver. ”

"As long as there is no marriage letter, this matter may not be successful, I will think of a way."

"With me, I won't let you get married without knowing anything."

Shen pondered in her heart that she would go back to her parents' house early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.

Even if Chu Qianchen had no choice but to marry into the Chenwang Mansion, he would have to get three books and six ceremonies! You must not just carry a sedan chair into the palace.

Shen looked at Chu Qianchen distressedly.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Chu Qianchen's clear and clear phoenix eyes stared at Shen's eyes without blinking, with a solemn expression.

She said that she had her confidence, wasn't it just a holy decree for marriage? There is always a way to solve it, let's see what Xue Fengyan and them say first. The key now is not to let the emperor know that the prince is out of Beijing.

Chu Qianchen pointed to the blue and white porcelain teacup, and changed his words: "Mother, the water for making this tea is the dew on the lotus flowers and lotus leaves that I spent several days collecting, the tea is clean and sweet, and it also has the fragrance of lotus flowers, you must try it." "She had this water brought to the main courtyard early this morning.

"Then I'm in for a treat." Shen smiled and picked up the tea cup, blew the foam floating on the tea soup, and slowly smelled the fragrance of the tea, "Sure enough, there is an elegant lotus fragrance." ”

Then, she took a sip of tea, only to feel that her mouth was fragrant and sweet, and praised: "Good tea!" ”

Tea is good tea, but Shen couldn't calm down and taste tea at all, there was always a thorn in her heart, which made her hurt slightly: Sister Chen'er, this child is obviously so good, she is worthy of the best man in the world...... But this child has a bad fate.

Although King Chen has a noble status, anyone can see that Chu Qianchen's marriage will only be miserable.

King Yu Chen, Chu Qianchen is a concubine, her status is low, and she is forced by the emperor, she can't please at all, and she will be angry with King Chen.

To the emperor, once Chu Qianchen marries the past, he will be a person from the Chenwang Mansion, and if there is something in the Chenwang Mansion in the future, Chu Qianchen will also suffer together. The emperor has always been high, the emperor is ruthless, when he wants to punish Chu Qianchen, he will not think that this is his own marriage.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor said in person that Chu Qianchen was for King Chen, even if she married, the word "Chongxi" would accompany her for the rest of her life, and she would always be pointed at and become a talking pointer.

And the Chu family ......

Thinking of the Chu family, the Shen family felt cold, the Chu family should have been Chu Qianchen's backer, and they should have supported the Chu family's daughter, but from the attitude of Chu Lingxiao and Mrs. Tai, it was known that the Chu family would not support Chu Qianchen, and even wanted to get rid of it with her.

Chu Qianchen could see that the Shen family was still worried about him, and a warm current flowed in his heart: at least the Chu family still had the Shen family and Chu Yunmu.

She said with a straight face: "Mother, this marriage will not be successful, what kind of person do you think King Chen is?" ”

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes shining.

The prince is not a soft man, and he will let the emperor dictate his marriage.

This matter is just wishful thinking on the part of the emperor, and it will not be possible.

What made her care was what the emperor's intention was to give marriage to him, and why did he choose himself to be happy for the prince? The emperor probably didn't know that he was a doctor, so what was the reason for him to pick himself?

"King Chen......" Shen muttered, a somewhat vague figure in his mind.

Since King Chen went to the Northland at the age of fifteen, she has never seen King Chen again.

She just heard her father praise King Chen for being extremely smart and eloquent, saying that as long as King Chen is there, she can keep Daqi safe and stable for a day.

It is precisely because of King Chen's excellence that Shen is more worried: the more outstanding people are, they are often lonely and dustless.

She was also afraid that Chu Qianchen would become a pawn in the game between King Chen and the emperor.

How could they care about the future of Chu Qianchen as a little woman.

Shen's eyes flickered, he picked up the teacup and put it down, and said in a dumb voice: "Sister Chen, even if you don't succeed in this marriage, your future marriage will be difficult." ”

The emperor's marriage has already made Chu Qianchen and King Chen get involved, and if Chu Qianchen wants to talk about marriage in the future, those families in the capital will probably consider one or two, for fear of violating the taboo of the emperor and King Chen.

It is precisely because of this that Shen is so distressed.

"That's not right!" Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

Shen was stunned, and his ears rang again that Chu Qianchen had told her that day: "Mother, I have no plans to get married. ”

However, Shen only felt sour: Sister Chen probably didn't want to worry about her. It is very likely that she has someone she likes, but when things have developed to this point, she is afraid that she will not dare to say it......

Her temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she doesn't want to say it, and she won't say it with the knife on her neck.

Anyway, things have to come one by one.

Shen said to himself in his heart, there is no endless road, first finish the marriage between Sister Chen and King Chen. Anyway, Sister Chen'er is not very old, at most, after the divorce, she will keep this child for a few more years.

"Madam," Dongmei's respectful voice came from outside the house, "the eldest young master is here." ”

Shen guessed that Chu Yunyi should be worried about Chu Qianchen, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Before her words fell, she heard another voice say excitedly: "Then the fourth young master is going to go in too!" ”

The boy's milky voice revealed a hint of unconvincing.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said jokingly: "Then the fourth young master should come in too." ”

Soon, the Xiangfei curtain was raised from the outside, and Chu Yunmu rushed in first, like a gust of wind, still holding the holy decree in his hand.

Immediately after, Chu Yunyi also walked in with a flying stride, describing it with a bit of eagerness.

When he saw Chu Qianchen sitting by the tea table, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He remembered clearly, Chu Qianchen was obviously not wearing this dress when he received the order, and it was only a moment of effort, why did she change her clothes?

Could it be that she just cried and soiled her clothes?

Chu Yunyi looked at Chu Qianchen's eyes carefully, and always felt that the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and said to herself in her heart, she must have cried!

Shen Shi noticed Chu Yunyi's gaze, smiled slightly, and said in his heart.

"Mother, second sister," Chu Yunyi saluted first, then cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "I went out to inquire just now." ”

"Today, the emperor took a lot of people from the school field to the palace of King Chen, and after coming back, he invited the chief of Xuanjing Dao to meet ......."

"It is said that King Chen was so sick that he was unconscious, and the emperor also announced that the imperial doctor would treat King Chen, and the imperial doctors said that King Chen was hopeless, so the emperor asked for help from Xuanjing Daoist."

"Xuanjing Daoist gave King Chen a hexagram, saying that the second sister's eight characters are suitable for King Chen, and maybe they can save King Chen."

Chu Yunyi just went out of the house to find out what was going on with his friends on weekdays, first, to find out what was going on with this marriage, and secondly, to find out what was wrong with King Chen.

"Brother Yi, you have a heart." Shen smiled at Chu Yunyi gently, and said in his heart: Chu Lingxiao, a father, is not even as good as a twelve-year-old child.

She turned her head to look at Chu Qianchen, and her smile became gentler, "Sister Chen, I'm here." You see, Brother Yi has also grown up and can help inquire about the news. ”

Shen wanted Chu Qianchen to know that she was not alone, she still had herself and Chu Yunyi.

Yes, yes, he is very powerful, much more useful than the five-year-old fourth brother. Chu Yunyi raised his chin triumphantly, his eyes were burning, and he said confidently: "I have a lot of contacts in Beijing, what else do you want to know, I'll help you inquire again." ”

"There's me!"

He quickly glanced at Chu Yunmu, who was tired of Chu Qianchen's side.

Hmph, he didn't do it for Chu Qianchen, he wanted Chu Qianchen to know how powerful he was, and regret her contempt for him!

Sooner or later, she would willingly make amends to him, but he wouldn't forgive her so easily for overturning him!

Chu Yunmu crooked his little face, and always felt that the appearance of the eldest brother was a little familiar...... By the way, his night shadow took a bite of the branch he threw out, and when he came back, he looked like he was "majestic", and he would show off his "wolf howl" to the sky.

Chu Yunmu felt unconvinced, straightened his chest and said, "And me!" ”

"Chu Qianchen, I can help you too!"

Chu Yunmu didn't understand it before, but when Shen and Chu Qianchen were locked up here just now, he read the holy decree several times, and asked what the maid meant, so he understood why his father and mother quarreled just now.

Chu Qianchen stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on Chu Yunmu's forehead, "Okay, you can help me take care of Moon Shadow." ”

Moon Shadow was the little black cat that Chu Qianchen had begged from Jialou.

"Wrap it up on me." Chu Yunmu patted his chest confidently, "It's the little brother of Night Shadow, I will definitely be optimistic about it." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Chu Qianchen was amused by him, and laughed out loud, with a bright smile.

Looking at their happy appearance, Chu Yunyi felt that the root of his teeth was pantothenic, and picked up the teacup that the maid had just put on......

It's hot!

He accidentally burned his tongue, but he could only force himself to close his mouth, frowning slightly.

Seeing Chu Qianchen looking at him, he hurriedly made a casual appearance, his tongue was hot and painful.

Well, it won't blister.

At this moment, the curtain of Xiangfei was lifted again, and Mama Chen came in quickly, and said, "Madam, Mrs. Tai sent someone to pass the second girl to Rongfu Hall." ”

The atmosphere was suddenly cold.
