Chu Mingyang heard that his grandfather had summoned him for no reason, so he asked the person who passed the message, "Did Princess Fangcai go to see her grandfather?" ”

The subordinate shook his head, "Back to the second miss's words, no." ”

Chu Mingyang knows how to deal with people, and he has already taken care of the people who serve his grandfather, so if the eldest sister has not gone to find her grandfather, it should be fine.

Perhaps, it was for the marriage with the King of Chu.

In this way, she went out in peace.

It's just that when she entered the gate of the courtyard, the old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, the master asked you to kneel outside first." ”

Chu Mingyang was stunned, "Kneeling? Why? ”

The old steward said: "This is what the master meant, don't ask, the second lady is angry, you better kneel first!" ”

Chu Mingyang knew her grandfather's prestige, so she didn't dare not kneel, but she was unwilling to kneel, she asked: "Steward, can you tell me what I did wrong?" ”

The steward sighed lightly, "Mama Xi has been here, why do you want to provoke Princess Chu, Second Miss?" ”

When Chu Mingyang heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and said, "I want to see my grandfather, I have something to say." ”

The steward said in embarrassment: "Second Miss, you better kneel first." ”

"I want to see my grandfather, I have something to plead." A slave's complaint, and her grandfather is going to punish her? Is this still a legacy?

A teacup smashed out of the room, shattered all over the ground, and the fragments splashed on Chu Mingyang's body, making her so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back, and knelt down with a puff.

The old steward sighed and said, "Second Miss, it's better to kneel, the master will meet you, you will always have a time to plead." ”

Even though Chu Mingyang was unconvinced, he didn't dare to make another attempt.

Chu Mingyang's father and mother were passed over, and they went into the house and talked for a while before going out, Uncle Chu and his wife looked at their daughter kneeling on the ground, just sighed slightly and left.

After another stick of incense, seeing that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites also came, he also talked for a while inside, and left with a smile.

Chu Mingyang knelt so hard that his knees hurt, and he sat back slightly, thinking about what was going on.

Chu Mingcui also entered the courtyard, and when she saw Chu Mingyang kneeling on the ground, she frowned slightly, "I told you, but you didn't listen." ”

Chu Mingyang was really puzzled, and asked: "Mama Xi, this old slave, came here today, and my grandfather punished me, why does my grandfather attach so much importance to her words?" ”

Chu Mingcui said: "Second sister, you have always been smarter than me, you should understand that there are some things that cannot be said, I hate Yuan Qingling more than you, but, in front of Mama Xi, I also try to be restrained, she can't be provoked." ”

Chu Mingyang said coldly: "Can't be provoked? Then if I marry the King of Chu as a side concubine in the future, do I really have to see her face? ”

Chu Mingcui looked at her, and didn't know why she felt a sense of joy, "You won't marry King Chu, my grandfather has decided to marry you to King Ji as a side concubine, and my grandfather passed on my father and mother to come over to discuss this matter." ”

"King Ji?" Chu Mingyang jumped up and said sharply: "I don't agree!" ”

Chu Mingcui pressed her shoulder, lowered her voice and said sharply: "At this juncture, don't anger your grandfather, I might as well tell you that grandmother lost her voice because she said the wrong thing, and the same is true for married couples, don't think how special you can be, I really annoyed my grandfather, and if I marry you to a peddler pawn, you can only cry and get on the sedan chair." ”

Chu Mingyang shook his head, his face was pale, and he looked at Chu Mingcui in horror, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it......"

Chu Mingcui lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember the time I went back to the house and told you that my grandfather wanted you to marry the King of Chu as a side concubine?" You say you can see my thoughts, but am I not speculating about my grandfather's thoughts? King Qi is the grandson of his grandfather, and his grandfather will definitely support him as the crown prince, but King Qi is useless, you also see it in your eyes, grandfather thinks that he can't support King Qi, who do you think he will choose? ”

"Who?" Chu Mingyang asked subconsciously.

"King Ji!" Chu Mingcui smiled sadly, "It's ridiculous that I bet on the wrong treasure, thinking that as a son-in-law, as long as my grandfather pushes him a little, he can sit firmly in the position of the prince, but unfortunately, he is just a wreck, now King Ji has returned to the dynasty with meritorious service, and the emperor has given him a yellow robe, it seems that he is going to be reused, King Ji is the eldest son, and Princess Ji is seriously ill in bed, you don't need to wait too long to marry at least the position of concubine." ”

Chu Mingyang slowly came to his senses, "What about the King of Chu?" Didn't grandfather take a good look at King Chu? ”

Chu Mingcui explained: "The mother of the King of Chu, Concubine Xian, and the Queen Mother are both from the Su family, and my grandfather has fought with the Su family all my life, do you think it is possible for my grandfather to support the King of Chu and strengthen the Su family?" ”

"So," Chu Mingyang stared at her, "You just saw this clearly in the first place, so you helped Jing Hou and Yuan Qingling design the King of Chu in the princess's mansion?" ”

Chu Mingcui said: "At least, I don't think I did anything wrong in this step, if I marry the King of Chu, once King Ji gains power, he will not be able to tolerate the King of Chu." ”

"But I don't understand, why didn't my grandfather work hard? Why did you choose to support King Ji Er to abandon King Qi's brother-in-law? Although Chu Mingyang is clear-minded, he is still not as clear as Chu Mingcui about these things.

Chu Mingcui sighed, "King Ji is like the sky, the victory is in hand, grandfather is icing on the cake, the ultimate goal is to protect his grandson King Qi, with this support and grace, once King Ji comes to the throne, to kill all the scruples, grandfather can also say two words for King Qi, this is just my guess, can be from eight or nine to ten." ”

Chu Mingyang digested this information, was silent for a while, and said, "So, if I marry King Ji as a side concubine, I may eventually become the queen?" ”

"Great chance!" Chu Mingcui said.

Chu Mingyang didn't say anything more, pondering what Chu Mingcui said.

After a while, the old steward came out and passed Chu Mingyang in.

Chu Mingyang was already kneeling and her legs were numb, but Chu Mingcui was able to walk in only by supporting her.

When she entered the house, she knelt down straight, "The granddaughter knows that she is wrong, and she begs her grandfather to punish her." ”

Chu Shoufu had no expression on his face, and his eyes were even more indifferent, "Who told you that you would marry the King of Chu as a side concubine?" ”

Chu Mingcui Fushen said softly: "Back to my grandfather's words, it was my granddaughter who told my second sister. ”

"Where did you get the news?" Chu Shoufu stared at her, his eyes were cold and sharp, staring at Chu Mingcui's heart cold.

Chu Mingcui was stunned, didn't my grandfather discuss this matter with his father and mother? Her mother ordered a letter to be sent to inform her.

"This ...... It was my mother who said it, and my mother said that my grandfather had mentioned it. Chu Mingcui had no choice but to answer stubbornly.

Chu Shoufu sneered, "So, do you think that if I mention this matter, it will definitely be done?" What is it that makes you look at everything? Who taught you to be arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in your eyes? Who told you that the Chu family can be above the royal will? Who gave you the courage to provoke Princess Chu? ”

Chu Mingyang couldn't help but argue, "Grandfather, it's really not her granddaughter who provokes her, it's her who is really hateful." ”

Chu Shoufu stared at her and said slowly and coldly: "If Princess Chu's fetus has any mistakes, I want you to pay for it with your life!" ”
