After a pause, Yu Wenqi asked again: "I ask you, did you have the idea of letting your third daughter marry into the Qi State Mansion instead of Chu Yue'an?" Did Chu Yuezi and Qi Yuzhi have a personal affair for a long time, forcing Chu Yuean to choose to practice with the eldest princess? It's all your flesh and blood, even you, the father, are so favoritous, thinking that her life in the Hou Mansion at a young age is not easy. ”

The sweat on Chu Yuan's forehead kept bubbling out, he wiped it with his sleeve, and then kowtowed: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." ”

"Don't just confess your sins, you have to know in your heart that you are wrong." Yu Wenqi said lightly, "This person is old, and he always thinks of some past events recently, so Chu Yue'an's mother really still has some impressions." I think she was still a bright and innocent girl when she went in and out of Beijing, but she also died, and the two children under her knees, you still have to think more about it. ”

"Yes."

"Well, after all, it's not a family matter, and I don't bother to ask too much." Yu Wenqi said lightly, "You go down, kneel one, it's hard for you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity." Chu Yuan kowtowed and thanked him, trying to stand up, but his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Gonggong Qu on the side held her up and said with a smile: "Master Hou is careful." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Out of the palace, Chu Yuan took a bath, washed away the cold sweat on his body, and after changing into regular clothes, he called someone to call Zhao over.

Zhao's family, as usual, knelt pitifully in front of Chu Yuan, crying silently, pear blossoms with rain, very pitiful. It's just that now Chu Yuan looks at her, but he has lost his previous state of mind.

In the past, Zhao Qianru was perfect, flawless, and simple, and anything she did could be forgiven, but now the woman who appeared in front of her, although she was still beautiful, Chu Yuan looked at her as hypocritical, broken, and the culprit of all tragedies.

He hated, hated the woman in front of him for ruining the image of the perfect wife in his heart, hated the woman in front of him for ruining his daughter, and he was very proud that this woman in front of him ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

With a calm face, he threw the inkstone on his desk to the ground, and the inkstone suddenly fell apart.

Zhao Qianru was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry anymore, so she sobbed in a low voice instead.

"Are you satisfied with the current situation?" Chu Yuan said with a gloomy face, "I'm telling you, it's all your responsibility for these things to happen." Your daughter has grown up by your side since she was a child, if you taught her something good, would she become what she is now? ”

Zhao Qianru silently didn't speak, although her daughter has been taken over by her mother's family now, she still has a son in the Hou Mansion, and she has to endure everything for the sake of her son.

"I'm going to divorce my wife." Chu Yuan stared at the woman on the ground, "Since your Zhao family is so nosy, you should also go back together." I have thought about it carefully, you have a bad background, you are not virtuous, and you have no qualifications to become the head mother of the Hou Mansion at all. ”

Zhao Qianru raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Yuan in surprise, gritted her teeth and asked with a crying voice: "Master Hou, are you really so ruthless, ignoring our husband and wife friendship for more than ten years?" In the more than ten years since I married you, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to you, and I have also been dedicated to the Hou Mansion, and I also gave birth to a pair of daughters for you, are you really so ruthless to abandon me? Master Hou, are you really willing to be a concubine? ”

"Why can't you give up? I was wrong about you. Chu Yuan turned around and stopped looking at her, "I feel like I don't know you anymore, you're a stranger." ”

"What about Qingsong?" Zhao Qianru fell to the ground and cried, "How innocent is that child? If you divorce me, the child's future will also be ruined, how can you bear it? Qing Songzhi is enlightened, he studies hard every day, and he has never slacked off for a day, which you know better than anyone else! Even if he didn't be able to become the heir of Hou Ye, he still decided to take the test to gain fame in the future, glorify his ancestors, Hou Ye, can you bear to extinguish his hope? ”

Thinking of Qingsong's child, Chu Yuan sighed deeply, how could he bear to ruin the future of such a good child?

He carried Zhao Qianru behind his back and said: "Go back to the Mirror Flower Pavilion and think about the past behind closed doors, without my permission, you are not allowed to come out, and you are not allowed to contact the Zhao family privately." And Chu Yuezi's daughter, just treat her as if she is dead, and don't ask about anything! ”

"Yes." Zhao Qianru wiped her tears and said, "Master Xie is forgiving." ”

She expected that Chu Yuan would not divorce his wife if he was soft-hearted, as long as he stayed in the Hou Mansion, he would have a chance to turn the tables, no matter what, no matter how bad the situation was, she had to plan for a pair of children.

The sun is rising, but autumn is stronger.

Chu Yue'an received an invitation from the King of Chu, and he thought that he should have asked him to have an eyebrow. She thought that she wouldn't take Lu Youming with her this time, after all, the content of the conversation between the two was inconvenient for her to know.

The place chosen by the king of Chu is also quite interesting, in a gambling house. This gambling house is the largest gambling house in the capital, with a total of three floors, and the identity of each floor is different. The first floor is a place for some ordinary people to play money, three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons, and the second floor is people with some identities, which are quieter, and the chips for gambling money are naturally unimaginable for underground people. As for the top floor, it is where the dignitaries come, and no one knows what they gamble on weekdays and how big they gamble.

As soon as Chu Yue'an arrived, a person dressed as a guard greeted him at the door, hugged his fists and said, "Second Miss Chu has arrived, our prince has been waiting for a long time, please come down with his subordinates." ”

Saying that, he led Chu Yuean directly to the third floor, outside an extraordinarily luxurious box, opened the door, stretched out his hand and said, "Please inside." ”

"Thank you." Chu Yue'an entered, only to see Yuwen Jinghuai leaning against the window, looking at the gamblers on the first floor, he suddenly pointed down and said, "See, that bald man, out of the old man!" Lao Tzu has been observing here for so long, and he can finally see how he came out. ”

Chu Yue'an walked in front of him, also glanced out the window, and said with a smile: "The prince has good eyesight." Could it be that this casino is also the property of the prince? ”

"I don't have that much face, this casino is King Zhao's property." Yuwen Jinghuai withdrew his gaze from the outside and fell on Chu Yue'an's face, he was playing with six dice made of white jade in his hand, "It's interesting to come to this place once in a while and look below, here everyone can unabashed their desires, greed is written on their faces, despicability is in their behavior, and there is no moral pressure." ”

He pointed to the table in the middle, "Sit down." ”

Chu Yue'an sat down and said with a faint smile: "The prince asked me to come here just so that I could appreciate the expressions of those people below?" ”

"It's good to see more, when you have seen the ugliness of human nature, there will be no more beautiful illusions about it." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, he also sat down in front of Chu Yuean.

The corners of Chu Yue'an's mouth hooked: "I think the prince is also a person with a story." ”

"Who isn't?" Yuwen Jinghuai's good-looking eyebrows were raised slightly, as if he was a little helpless and a little melancholy.

"Let's get down to business, Your Highness asked me to come, but I asked you to help me investigate?" Chu Yue'an asked.

"Let's roll the dice." Yuwen Jinghuai showed off a few dice in his hand, "If you win, I'll tell you, and I'll give you these dice as well, if this king wins...... This king thinks about it, this king suffers a little loss, this king tells you that when this king finds out, but you have to kiss me! ”

"Why did the prince start making fun of me?" Chu Yuean hugged his arms and said lightly.

"This king likes to make fun of you, what's the matter?" Yuwen Jinghuai showed an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "You are so unconfident in yourself, do you think you will definitely not be able to win this king?" ”

"Okay, I'll make a bet with Your Highness." Chu Yue'an smiled faintly, "To be honest, I haven't lost yet." ”

"This king admires your courage and self-confidence, don't cry later!" Yuwen Jinghuai said and put all the dice in the bamboo tube, and began to shake the bamboo tube, his technique is very old-fashioned, judging from the strength of his shaking of the dice, he doesn't look like a person with an empty body at all.

"Bang", the bamboo tube was buckled on the table, he uncovered the bamboo tube, six six, raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly: "How is it?" It's too late to throw in the towel. ”

Chu Yue'an chuckled lightly and hooked his finger towards Yuwen Jinghuai.

He slid the dice and bamboo tube along the table to Chu Yue'an's hand, Chu Yue'an slapped the table, and the six dice flew into the air, she loaded them into the bamboo tube one by one, and then began to shake.

After a few clicks, she slammed the bamboo tube on the table, and asked Yuwen Jinghuai with a smile: "Your Highness, do you still have a bet?" ”

"You can see clearly, we are only six sixes." Yuwen Jinghuai said in surprise, "Okay, this king plus this fan in his hand, the true work of Zhang Yibai, a major event in calligraphy and painting in the previous dynasty, is worth a thousand gold." But what do you add? If you lose, you not only have to kiss the king, but also have to make a maid ring for the king, serve tea and pour water for the king, beat your legs and pinch your shoulders, dare? ”

"Why don't you dare, it's blocked!" Chu Yuean chuckled lightly and uncovered the bamboo tube.

I saw that there was one more one under the six, it turned out that Chu Yuean shook one of the dice in half, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yuwen Jinghuai proudly: "Your Highness, you lost." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai covered his mouth and laughed, his shoulders shaking: "You count, how many dice do you have?" ”

Chu Yue'an glanced at it in shock, there were only five rose dice left on the table, and what about one? Impossible!

"Is this what you're looking for?" Yuwen Jing took out the lost dice with a shyness, "This one is in the hands of this king, it can't be counted, Miss Chu Er!" ”

Chu Yuean slapped the table and shouted, "You are a thousand! ”

Yuwen Jinghuai stretched out his little finger and pretended to pluck his ears: "The voice is so loud, this king is deaf, you will pay for it!" Did we say in advance that we couldn't get out of the old man, what are you doing so excited? ”
