King of Pingkang?

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Huating beside him suspiciously: "Big brother? ”

Chu Huating frowned and said: "King Pingkang is the most unfavored son of the first emperor, and he rarely appears in the circle of high-class nobles on weekdays, how can he suddenly look for you?" ”

Chu Junlan also didn't know: "Just take a look." ”

Chu Huating was worried, "Don't be another one who is looking for trouble." ”

"No, I'm now also a 'little doctor fairy' in everyone's mouth, people eat grains, who can guarantee that they won't get sick, what's the benefit of offending me?"

Chu Huating was stunned for a moment and smiled: "That's what I said." ”

When Chu Junlan came to the front hall, he saw Chu Cailiang talking to an old man with gray hair and strong spirits. The old man was dressed up and knew that he was a steward, and his attitude towards Chu Cailiang was very respectful. Chu Cailiang was holding the official shelf, and he could see that he was very proud.

Seeing Chu Junlan enter the door, Chu Cailiang said with a smile: "I have been waiting for a long time, this is my third daughter." ”

Qian Changshi immediately turned around, saluted Chu Junlan, and presented the post with both hands.

"Miss Chu San is polite, the villain is the governor of Pingkang Wangfu, my family has learned that Gongding Wang Shizi's condition has gradually improved, and Gongding Wang Shizi is about to have a good thing with you, so he specially held a family banquet three days later to celebrate, just now the villain has sent an invitation to Gongding Wang Shizi, and the prince has already agreed to go to the banquet, and please be present at that time."

Chu Junlan took the invitation and took a quick glance, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Qian Changshi, I will be there, and I also asked Qian Changshi to thank the prince of Pingkang for his kindness." ”

Qian Changshi smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Immediately, he was polite to Chu Cailiang again, bowed and retreated.

Chu Cailiang got up and politely sent people out of the front hall, turned around happily, turned his back to the afterglow of the evening sunset, and smiled a few more wrinkles on his face.

"Okay, okay, as a father, I know that you are a promising person, and you will definitely be able to make great achievements, and in the future, our family may have to count on you more."

Chu Junlan was accustomed to seeing Chu Cailiang's appearance of "selling women for glory", but he didn't feel much surprised, but nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”

I don't know if it's the former or the latter.

Chu Cailiang was happy, and he didn't hear anything wrong at all.

"Now I see that the attitude of the Gongding palace towards you is indeed very warm, and my father was worried about whether your marriage with the son of the world could be completed at first, but now it seems that I am too worried."

Chu Cailiang paced proudly, and sighed: "There are no other requirements for the father, in the future, when you come to the palace, you must serve the son of the world." Nowadays, many people are saying that the stupid disease of the son of the world has been cured a lot by you? ”

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded.

"Very good. In this way, when you arrive at the palace, you will only be more valued. ”

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that King Gongding may not love the prince much, otherwise he will not allow the prince to live in the mansion where everyone dares to bully him, and it is still unknown who will inherit this throne in the future.

But even if the prince cannot inherit the title in the future, King Gongding will not want his eldest son to be a fool. To cure a fool is equivalent to scrubbing the lintel of the king's lineage.

Come to think of it, Chu Junlan is now treated by everyone in the palace, and it is because of this.

"By the way, my father thought about it carefully, in order to let you gain a firm foothold in the palace, I still have to teach you more about the way to be a wife, only by capturing the heart of the son, your good life will last long. Therefore, my father has ordered someone to find a reliable mother to teach you some matters after marriage, and you must learn from it well, and you must not live up to your father's kindness. ”

"Thank you, father." Chu Junlan didn't want to argue with anyone about such trivial matters, so he only smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chu Cailiang now looked at Chu Junlan more and more pleasing to the eye, and nodded with a smile and asked her to go down and rest.

At this time, in Yuqing Garden, Chu Mengying was lying on the warm kang by Aunt Wang's window, crying and choking, and her voice was hoarse.

"Mother, I really hate it! The people in the palace were so desperate that they locked their daughter in the firewood room! If it weren't for Princess Gongding's face and not moving me, you might not have been able to see your daughter. ”

Aunt Wang frowned and threw away her handkerchief, "Don't cry, get up and wipe your face." Tell me, what was the scene at that time, and Chu Junlan would be kind enough to save you? I don't believe it. ”

Chu Mengying sat up with a sob, and whispered in a low voice how she met Xiao Yunpeng at the Baishi Arch Bridge in the palace, how she fell into the water, how she was caught, and how she was released.

Aunt Wang groaned: "So, you mean that the princess was originally shouting at you to kill you, but later asked you to go, but she only beat you for a few words and let you go." ”

"Yes. Chu Junlan was standing aside at the time, and he didn't know how long she had been gone. Isn't she good at medical skills, her daughter suspects that she has seen a doctor for her second son. Princess Gongding saw that the second son was fine, so she agreed to let her daughter go. ”

Aunt Wang pulled out a silver hairpin and flicked the candle flame, and came out of her mind for a moment, "This matter is not simple, let me ask you, do you think the second son is good?" ”

Chu Mengying's face turned red all of a sudden, but fortunately, the flickering candle flame was also orange, making it impossible to see her face.

"What do you think of me?"

"Good. Your goal is very clear, but it's a pity that my mother hasn't survived all these years and hasn't been able to straighten it out, so you can only be a concubine. Your father has been discussing your family affairs with me these days, and he is looking for those concubines who are not considered high-ranking families. ”

Aunt Wang gritted her teeth: "Why can the daughter of that slut of the Lu family be the princess of the world, but my Wang Yuqing's daughter can't?" ”

"Yes, my daughter thinks so too!"

"It's just a stupid girl, if you want to enter the door of the palace now, I'm afraid there is no hope." Aunt Wang sighed and stretched out her hand, crossed the kang table and stroked Chu Mengying's half-wet sideburns, "You missed a blow, and the rumors outside have already damaged your reputation, I'm afraid this thing won't work." ”

Chu Mengying was aggrieved, but her eyes washed with tears were extraordinarily bright: "I don't believe it." It's man-made, I don't think the second son is meaningless to me, as long as the family matter has not been decided, I will definitely be able to think of a way. ”

Just then, there was a familiar sound of footsteps outside.

When Aunt Wang heard this, she straightened her face and said, "It's your father who is back, you should admit your mistake." ”

Chu Mengying immediately nodded solemnly.

Aunt Wang greeted her first, took off her robe for Chu Cailiang with little care, and gave her a warm handkerchief: "Master, you have really worked hard this day." It's a concubine, and she didn't discipline Sister Ying. ”

Chu Mengying immediately knelt down knowing the opportunity: "Father, it's the daughter who has the wrong mind and didn't get things done, and the father who is still hurting is also bad, and the daughter will definitely not be next time." ”

Chu Cailiang was originally angry, if it was just when the incident happened, he would not even be able to strangle Chu Mengying directly.

But later, he was treated warmly by his colleagues first, and when Chu Junlan returned to his home, he received a post from the Pingkang County Palace, he only felt that his face was bright, and he didn't bother to punish Chu Mengying at this time.

"Well, get up."

Chu Mengying was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up: "Thank you father, my daughter will know that you love me the most." ”

Chu Cailiang nodded and said, "My father cherishes you, and I originally thought that I could let you go to a noble house too, so that I could make a contribution to our family." But now that this has happened, no matter how many people outside talk about it, it's not easy to force it. ”

Chu Mengying lowered her head.

Chu Cailiang smiled again and said: "My father talked about his children's family affairs with his colleagues who have told him for many years, and he has a grandson at home who is the same age as you, and his character is also valuable. Although he is a concubine, but you married to be the main house, and in the future, he will get ahead, maybe he can earn you a phoenix crown. The father has decided to be this family. ”
