The anger on Chu Shoufu's face slowly faded, and he sat on the Taishi chair, but his expression was gloomy, "This is the last chance, if you don't say it, you don't do it, this princess of Qi, there are obedient girls in the Chu family." ”

"Grandfather, you heard your granddaughter say that her granddaughter didn't mean to ......" She cried, tears slipped down her face from the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't tell how pitiful she was, and anyone who saw such a sadness couldn't help but soften her heart.

It's a pity that Chu Shoufu obviously won't, he never believes in tears.

"Put away your tears and get out!" He said coldly.

Chu Mingcui's face finally showed a look of fear and regret, and said hurriedly: "Grandfather, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have used Mama Xi's friendship with you, it was indeed the granddaughter who asked her to poison the Emperor Taishang's medicine, the granddaughter was just afraid that the Emperor Taishang would get better, and the King of Chu would gain power again, and the granddaughter was also thinking about the overall situation." ”

"How do you know about the relationship between Mama Xi and me?" Chu Shoufu's voice was gloomy and cold, and the whole person was also immersed in Xiao Kill's gloom.

Chu Mingcui had never seen such a terrible look on her grandfather's face, her lips trembled in fright, and she said everything, "It was grandmother who said it, and this matter was also instructed by grandmother, she said that Mama Xi took you, as long as she said that it was what you meant, Mama Xi lost her life, and she was willing to do it for you, and her granddaughter didn't believe it, but as soon as I said it to Mama Xi like this, she agreed." ”

After speaking, she hurriedly said: "Grandfather, Mama Xi will never tell me about the murder of the emperor, let alone give you out, don't worry." ”

Chu Shoufu closed his eyes, and his whole face didn't look like a wooden man.

Chu Mingcui was uneasy in her heart, twisting her handkerchief, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Chu Shoufu opened his eyes, and his eyes were peaceful, "What do you think about the king of Chu marrying your sister as a side concubine?" ”

Chu Mingcui hurriedly said: "Grandfather, this matter must not be done. ”

"Why not?" Chu Shoufu asked coldly.

Chu Mingcui hesitated for a moment, "My sister is the daughter of a concubine, how can she be a concubine?" ”

"Wait and say, you can let Yuan Qingling go down to the hall and beg, and then your sister will be the concubine."

Chu Mingcui was shocked, "Waiting to say that?"

"However, Princess Chu objected, and the emperor said that he respected Princess Chu, so the matter between your sister and the King of Chu will be done."

Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's reluctant, at this juncture, more things are better than less." ”

Chu Shoufu said lightly: "That's right, so the old man decided that your sister will serve the King of Qi with you." ”

"What?" Chu Mingcui sat on the ground, his face like ashes.

She quickly knelt up and said firmly: "No, grandfather, Yuan Qingling will agree, I can't tolerate her disagreeing, my granddaughter promises that the King of Chu will definitely be able to marry his sister as a concubine." ”

Chu Shoufu said expressionlessly: "This is your last chance, no matter what means you use, the old man must be clean and neat, naturally, the old man hopes that everyone will be happy, if you don't handle it well, or make trouble, you, the princess of Qi, just give it up." ”

In other words, he hoped that Yuan Qingling would quit voluntarily, and if he really did it, he would have to leave no traces.

Chu Mingcui said suddenly: "Grandfather, don't worry, granddaughter will definitely do it." ”

Chu Shoufu raised his hand, and there was a tired look on his face, "Go ahead." ”

"Granddaughter retires!" Chu Mingcui retired from the body.

As soon as Chu Mingcui left, Chu Shoufu sent someone in, and said lightly: "The old man doesn't want to hear anyone say anything about Xiaoxi, the old lady will send a bowl of medicine over." ”

It was an old man with a tall figure with a clear face, and when he heard this, he lowered his eyes, "What about the princess?" ”

"She's a smart person, and when she sees what happened to her grandmother, she keeps her mouth shut." Chu Shoufu closed his eyes and swept away the killing aura under his eyes.

Chu Mingcui left the study and did not leave immediately, but went to her sister Chu Mingyang's house.

Chu Mingyang was at the beginning of the year, and his appearance was very similar to Chu Mingcui, but Chu Mingyang was more flamboyant and arrogant, not as calm and forbearant as Chu Mingcui.

When Chu Mingyang was born, it happened that his grandfather was cured from illness and caught up with his upward movement, so Chu Mingyang has been favored since he was a child, and his degree of favor is no less than that of his brother in the house.

Chu Mingcui even suspected that his grandfather actually didn't want his sister to be the concubine of the King of Chu from the beginning, and if his sister married into the palace of the King of Chu, the position of the concubine would be in hand sooner or later.

Therefore, she must not let Chu Mingyang marry King Qi as a side concubine, which directly threatens her position as a concubine, and her grandfather reuses her because she has a calm temperament, and now that she has made a disaster, it is difficult to guarantee that her grandfather will not abandon her.

Thinking of this, she became more and more worried, but when she saw Chu Mingyang, she still raised the warm smile of her eldest sister.

"Eldest sister," Chu Mingyang was very happy to see her come back, took her arm and walked inside, her pretty face was crimson, and she didn't expect to be idle in the house, "Show you my new gadgets." ”

Chu Mingcui smelled a hint of blood, she had always known about her sister's hobby, but she was afraid that she wouldn't know who to toss this time.

Sure enough, after being pulled in, he saw a little girl kneeling on the ground, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a bowl on her head, and the bowl was full of water.

When the girl saw someone coming, she moved slightly, but when she spilled a few drops of water, Chu Mingyang picked up the whip on the table and pulled it over, shouting: "Kneel down!" ”

The girl was in pain, and slowly knelt straight, her face was red, and tears were in her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall.

There were already a few broken bowls on the ground, and they were also wet, and it seemed that Fang had suffered a lot, and there were a few whip marks on his face.

"Is it fun?" Chu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingcui coincidentally and showed off proudly.

Chu Mingcui said dotingly: "If you think it's fun, it's okay." ”

Chu Mingyang sat down and threw away the whip, "Actually, it's not fun at all, but I'm really bored, and my grandfather won't let me go out." ”

She glared at the girl, "Get out!" ”

The girl seemed to have been amnestied, so she hurriedly took the bowl and went out.

The rest of the maids hurriedly cleaned up the place, served tea and snacks, and then closed the door for the two sisters to talk.

Chu Mingcui pondered for a moment before asking with a smile: "Second sister, grandfather is going to marry you, do you know?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Mingyang's face was cold, "But I don't want to marry so early." ”

"Grandfather's words have always been something that no one can disobey." Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "Why is my sister willing to marry early?" I wish I could accompany my grandmother more, I am a pearl at home, but I can marry into someone else's family......"

"How so? Is brother-in-law bad for my sister? I think my brother-in-law is kind to my sister, and every time my sister comes back, he accompanies you. Chu Mingyang pricked up his ears and asked.

Chu Mingcui smiled bitterly, "That's all superficial scenery, but as a royal daughter-in-law, where is it really comfortable?" There are many rules in the house, and there are officials staring at them, but if there is any improper behavior, they will immediately report to the palace, and the queen mother will arrive immediately after a reprimand. ”

Chu Mingyang was taken aback, "Is it so strict?" ”

"Isn't it? I couldn't tell my grandfather because I was suffering, and my grandfather couldn't interfere in the royal family. ”
