Murong Jing's biological mother, Concubine Shuniang, was the most favored by the emperor, and he was also a son with his mother since he was a child, and he was deeply favored by his father. But that year, because he was naughty and killed his mother, his father thought he was unlucky, and gave him to the unfavored Mei Cairen to raise, that is, Murong Jue's mother, but gave Murong Wei to the queen to raise.

After Mei Cairen died of illness, the two brothers, who were not treated by the emperor, were even more unwelcome, and fortunately, the two of them competed for luck, and all their homework was among the best, so the emperor would occasionally look down on them and send them some things.

Now, Murong Lin, who is approaching the age of sixties, is getting weaker, and those princes are ready to move one by one. Murong Jing and Murong Jue originally didn't want to get involved, but in the eyes of those princes, they were all regarded as enemies if they didn't take refuge in themselves, because Murong Jing and Murong Jue were often targeted by many parties. Murong Jing didn't want to let people eat meat, so he decided to earn it too.

So on the surface, the two of them took refuge in one faction, but in fact, they were obscure and secretly cultivated their own forces. They have already seen that there is no family affection in this deep palace, and if either party gains power, they will not end well, so they can only fight on their own.

"Fifth brother, you are in good spirits, but what good things have happened?" Murong Jue asked with a smile.

"A good thing?" Murong Jing couldn't help but think of Chu Qianrou, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes, "It's really there." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Murong Jing did not hide it, and told the story of meeting Chu Qianrou.

Murong Jue smiled and said: "Then I want to congratulate the fifth brother first, but the fifth brother, you have to find an opportunity to find an opportunity as soon as possible to show your father, the daughter of the military department, even if it is a sow, you have to marry, let alone a stunning beauty?" ”

Murong Jing hesitated: "I'm also worried about this, if she is just the daughter of a petty official, I will take her in casually, but if I propose to marry the daughter of the military department Shangshu, what will my father think of me?" This matter is in a hurry. ”

Murong Jue frowned and said, "Fifth Brother is still thoughtful, and this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”

However, Murong Jing was not allowed to think about it in the long run, and soon a holy decree came down, and he was sent out to investigate the case of embezzlement of ink in the Yuezhou area, and the matter of marrying Chu Qianrou could only be put aside temporarily.

Let's say that Chu Qianrou is here, after coming to the Chu Mansion, first the monk and his wife were coquettish, and then on the grounds of filial piety to their parents, they begged Mrs. Chu to push the object of the previous plan to discuss marriage.

Mrs. Chu doted and said: "Rou'er, although you are the daughter of Shangshu Mansion and don't worry about marrying, but you have to marry the best, right?" Wang Gongzi is also a talented man in Beijing, if such a good person is taken first, I am afraid that it will be too late for you to regret it in the future. You just listen to your mother's words, and your mother will ask Mrs. Wang and Wang Gongzi out at that time, and you will hide in the dark and watch, if you are satisfied, we will settle this family matter; If you are not satisfied, your mother will push it, okay? ”

Hearing the words "Prince Wang", Chu Qianrou suddenly moved, if that prince was Wang Jing, if he didn't make a fuss about the good marriage, he nodded and agreed.

On the appointed day, Chu Qianrou sat nervously behind the screen, listening to her mother and Mrs. Wang's greetings, constantly rubbing the handkerchief in her hand. Finally, the sound of steady footsteps gradually became clear.

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Lizhi, I've seen Mrs. Shangshu soon." ”

Chu Qianrou's heart suddenly cooled half, and when she heard Wang Lizhi's voice, she didn't bother to lean out of the screen to look, and walked back to her courtyard in a daze.

"Miss, since you like that prince in your heart, why don't you ask about his family background?" Yunzhu was puzzled.

Chu Qianrou lay on the table and said weakly: "What can I do if I ask, can I still let my father say that I can't kiss?" I've already said it to that point, if he has a heart, he will definitely come to propose, if he doesn't have a heart, it's just a dream. ”

"But Miss, you obviously don't think about it for the prince's tea ...... dinner."

"Enough!" Chu Xianrou propped herself up and said sharply, "It's getting more and more out of proportion, it seems that I spoil you too much on weekdays!" ”

"The slave just feels worthless for the young lady...... Yunzhu said aggrievedly.

"Get out!"

Hearing that their daughter had left, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Wang simply exchanged a few words, then went to the garden for a walk, and sent the guests off politely. In this case, if both parties are interested, they will start to talk about the corresponding topic, and if they talk about some dispensable topics, it means that there is no match. Everyone understands people, and there is no need to speak so bluntly and hurt the harmony.

Although she rejected Wang Lizhi, it did not prevent Mrs. Chu from being enthusiastic about choosing a son-in-law for her daughter, and planned to take her daughter to various banquets. Although Chu Qianrou didn't like it, she always had a hint of hope in her heart, maybe she could see Wang Lang at the banquet, so she agreed. It's just that she couldn't wait for her Wang Lang, but she waited for a bad news.

"The son visits his father."

"Arise, what do you want to see me?"

"Seeing that his father didn't know how to eat recently, he was really worried, so he found a cook from the people and fried a few light side dishes to change the taste for his father, hoping that his father would be able to move his fingers."

"Even if you have a heart, it's just that I've been like this for more than ten days, and it's useless for the imperial doctor to prescribe so many medicinal diets and medicines to regulate the spleen and stomach."

"My father worked hard for state affairs all day long, and his heart was haggard, so he lost his appetite, and his sons were anxious in their eyes. The son has a good prescription that can make his father feel happy, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The daughter of Chu Sui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is delicate, raised in the former residence since childhood, and this time she has reached the age of marriage and came to the capital. I heard that Miss Chu is not only knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has the posture of sinking fish and geese. Erchen has seen it once, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairy who descends to earth, and any beauty will be inferior to her by three points. If Miss Chu can accompany the king's side, she will definitely be able to relieve her father's fatigue. ”

"Very good!" Murong Lin stood up, "Swing and go to Chu Shangshu Mansion for a walk!" ”

Chu Sui heard that the internal official was coming to spread the news that the Son of Heaven was about to arrive, so he immediately took the whole family and led all his subordinates to kneel at the door early to pick up the car. If the Son of Heaven has something, he can summon his courtiers to meet him, and come to the house in person, there are very few of them, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, and Chu Sui does not dare to be careless.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" A crowd of people bowed in unison.

Murong Lin stood at the door, did not shout, but looked at the kneeling people below, and was soon attracted by a figure as slender as a willow. He approached the figure and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Chu Qianrou was stunned for a while before realizing that the emperor was talking to herself, she didn't dare to raise her head, maintained a kneeling posture, and replied: "The people's daughter Chu Qianrou." ”

"Good name, look up." Murong Lin said with a smile.

"The women don't dare." Chu Qianrou was still lying down.

"Don't dare? That's a rebellion. Murong Lin said unhappily.

Chu Sui didn't dare to come out, he knew that the presence of the Son of Heaven in person was not necessarily a glory, but it might also be a catastrophe, and he just hoped that his daughter would not be discouraged.

"The women of the people obey." Chu Qianrou replied, and then slowly raised his head.

"Sure enough, it's the posture of a sinking fish and a goose." Murong Lin laughed and reached out to pull her, "You get up." He didn't forget to say to the crowd, "Get up!" ”

Chu Sui came to the emperor's side: "Let Weichen lead the way to the emperor." ”

Murong Lin didn't pay attention to him, but took Chu Qianrou's hand and didn't let go: "Xianrou, you lead me to the house to sit down." ”

Chu Qianrou was so disgusted that she wanted to slap this old pervert, but she didn't dare to act rashly, this is the emperor, and he is the person who can destroy her family at any time.

She quietly withdrew her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "The folk girl will guide the emperor." ”

Murong Lin drank a cup of tea accompanied by Chu Sui, but his two eyes kept rolling on Chu Qian's body. He put down the teacup, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Qian's hand again, patted the back of her hand, and then left with a smile. Chu Sui hurriedly took his family to send him off.

When Murong Lin left, Chu Qianrou hurriedly wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, as if her hands had been entangled by poisonous snakes.

"This old pervert!" She said indignantly.

"Shut up!" Chu Sui said angrily, "Do you want the whole family to bury you?" ”

"Dad, my daughter will pack up and go back to the ancestral house to accompany her grandmother!" Chu Xianrou said aggrievedly.

"Stop, you just wait obediently to enter the palace, you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Chu Sui's voice was full of expression.

"But Dad, the emperor is older than you, I ......"

"These are all self-inflicted, when my father found you a good relative, but you were arrogant, you can't look down on any of them, and now you are satisfied?"

"Dad, I ......" What should she say, she is not arrogant, but she already has someone in her heart, and she can no longer tolerate others.

"Don't say anything, whether you are wronged or dissatisfied, there is no room for you to regret it at this point. You are the ones who have caused this situation today, and it is up to you to clean up the mess. ”

"Mother......" Seeing that her father said she couldn't move, Chu Qianrou threw herself into her mother's arms again.

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Chu comforted, "You go back to the house first, maybe the emperor is just a whim, and maybe he will forget it soon." Sir, do you think so? ”

"I hope so!" Chu Sui was not optimistic, and ordered, "Come on, send the young lady back to the house." Keep it guarded, and don't let people disturb Miss's rest. ”

This was obviously grounded, and Chu Xian ran back to the house angrily.

Everyone overestimated the emperor's patience, and after only an hour, Yi Zhi came down, sealed Chu Xianrou as Jieyu, and entered the palace the next day.

At this time, Chu Qianrou was no longer making trouble, because she had no choice but to accept her fate.

Before leaving, Chu Sui advised: "In the palace, you have to accept your temperament, and you must not be willful." As a father, I don't expect you to glorify your ancestors, but I hope you can be safe and sound, and don't bring unwarranted disasters to your family. ”

Chu Qianrou cried and nodded.

The accompanying internal officials and grandmother Chu Sui had already taken care of it, and it was because Chu Qianrou was not troubled, and went all the way to the palace smoothly, and after meeting the queen, he was led by the internal officials to live in the frost hall of Yuxiu Palace.

That night, Murong Lin came to the Condensing Frost Palace, although Chu Qianrou did not dare to resist, but she trembled all over, and she did not cooperate at all, Murong Lin, who was almost a sixtieth year, could not cross the defense line, and only succeeded after taking a pill.

Chu Qianrou closed her eyes and bit her lip tightly, fantasizing that the person on her body was Wang Jing to alleviate the pain. Murong Lin knew the taste of the marrow, and stayed overnight every day since that day, which made her miserable.

With the company of beauties, Murong Lin's illness is really much better, he has an appetite for anything, and he is even more vigorous at night - of course he took medicine. The only thing that displeased Murong Lin was that this beauty was like an ice cube, incomprehensible, and she didn't even smile much, which was very disappointing. Even so, he still went to the Condensing Frost Hall every day, and compared to her, the Sixth Palace Fandel was really inferior by three points, not to mention that some of them were already old.

In the Zichen Palace, Neiguan Li pushed the door and entered: "Your Majesty, the five princes ask to see you." ”

"Xuan—"
