The rumors in the market reached the ears of the emperor, and Chu Yongrui was also found by the emperor in the last dynasty and taught him a hard lesson. When the people of the Three Princes' faction were busy with the rumors, the new books sold by Wenjin Bookstore turned the wind of rumors, and the glorious image of the Three Princes was weakened.

As soon as "Wan Jiayan" came out, the people in the capital gradually understood the disaster in Xiajiang. While lamenting the ruthlessness of the disaster, he also saw the emperor's efforts during the period. The people's resentment against the emperor and the imperial concubine gradually weakened. After that, when the third prince Chu Yongrui went to court, he found that the emperor's attitude towards him became increasingly cold.

"Wenjin Bookstore! Fourth! is worthy of being a good brother of the second sister! Is he even okay with the rumors? Chu Yongrui was furious in front of Ning Hongzhen, "Uncle! How do you think this should end? ”

"This matter, I can't rush it." Ning Hongzhen twisted his eyebrows and said, "We haven't found the source of the rumors now, and it's not a good thing to make enemies with King Qin. ”

"Not long after the rumors came out, there was an extra book of "Wan Jiayan"! There is no such good thing in this world! Check it out! Find out who wrote this "Wanjiayan"! I'm going to see who's bad for me! ”

Knock knock.

When Ning Hongzhen and Chu Yongrui were discussing important matters, there was a knock on the door.

"I don't see any guests!"

Chu Yongrui said irritably, and the outsiders were not frightened, but smiled softly.

"The third brother is so good-tempered, don't even I want to see him?"

As soon as Ning Hongzhen heard this, he knew that this was the voice of the fifth prince Chu Yongheng, and immediately persuaded: "Since the fifth prince is also here, why don't you call him in to discuss this matter together?" ”

"He? It would be nice if he didn't come to make trouble! What can be expected from him? ”

Although Chu Yongrui was disgusted, he still opened the door and let Chu Yongheng enter the house.

"Third brother doesn't have to keep a straight face, I'm here to bring you a message." Chu Yongheng said with a smile, "I don't know if the third brother wants to hear it?" ”

"No more gossip!"

"The third brother is really in a hurry." Chu Yongheng said lazily, "Recently, the third brother has a headache over there at Wenjin Bookstore." ”

Chu Yongrui glared at Chu Yongheng unhappily, the latter didn't take it to heart at all, and said with a smile: "Does the third brother know the author of "Wan Jiayan" Cheng Wei? ”

"Chengwei?"

Chu Yongrui has heard of it.

"Isn't this a guy who writes all sorts of weird and jubble anecdotes? How does it have anything to do with "Wan Jiayan"? I still remember his book, which was criticized by many famous writers some time ago, you mean...... The person who wrote "Wan Jiayan", is he? ”

Chu Yongheng nodded and smiled: "Exactly." Not only that, but I also know the identity of this person. ”

When Ning Hongzhen heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the companion of the second imperial sister, Li Jiangwei, the fourth lady of Anyuanbo's mansion."

Ning Hongzhen and Chu Yongrui frowned at the same time, and for a while neither of them could remember such a role.

"Since the appearance of Chengwei, the Four Emperor Brothers have intersected with the Huaixing Marquis Mansion. And when the four emperor brothers left Beijing, An Yuanbo's fourth lady also left the capital in the name of visiting relatives. On the way, he walked with the team of Wenjin Bookstore, and did not part until Xiangqu. ”

"What do you mean......" Chu Yongrui's expression gradually became solemn, "That Chengwei and the fourth child have been to Xiajiang?" ”

"Probably so."

Chu Yongheng smiled and took out a book from his arms and put it in front of Chu Yongrui.

"The third brother might as well take a look if he is free, knowing himself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles."

"The fourth lady of the Anyuan Bofu family....... Since it's Miss Bofu, let the concubine meet her in person. ”

"Hahahaha!" Chu Yongheng said with a smile: "Brother Three Emperors' words are really interesting! I'm going to tell my mother now! ”

Chu Yongrui did not stop Chu Yongheng, but it was better to say that Chu Yongheng's proposal was happy to see it come true.

After the release of "Wan Jiayan", the people's complaints against the emperor weakened, and there was even news praising the emperor for loving the people like a son. During this period of time, the emperor's mood was obviously much lighter, and his reprimand for the third prince Chu Yongrui was also reduced.

However, this made Chu Yongrui even more melancholy. After going down to the court, he did not return to his dormitory, but went straight to the residence of the virtuous concubine.

Concubine Xian was caressing the piano and admiring the flowers in the courtyard, and when she saw Chu Yongrui coming, she smiled heartily.

"How is the concubine doing?"

"There was no movement on the queen's side, so I was idle and enjoyed the flowers and teased the birds. I heard Heng'er mention that the two of you brothers want to meet the fourth lady of An Yuanbo's Mansion. I had nothing to do, so I thought about letting them enter the palace and come to sit with me. ”

"The sons and daughters all listen to the concubine."

Concubine Xian's smile became brighter and brighter, and she pulled Chu Yongrui to ask for warmth.

"Recently, your father asked about your marriage, do you have any ideas?"

"The marriage of children is decided by their parents."

"Recently, the emperor's marriage made the emperor not very happy. If you can settle the marriage sooner, maybe your father will be happier. It can also suppress the previous rumors. If the young lady of An Yuanbo's Mansion is not bad, you can also consider being a side concubine. ”

Concubine Xian's words made Chu Yongrui think about it for a while, and thought it was a good idea.

The Anyuan Bo Mansion itself is involved with the General's Mansion and the Huaixing Marquis Mansion, and Li Jiangwei is the emperor's companion. If Li Jiangwei becomes a side concubine, she can contain the alliance between the General's Mansion and the Huaixing Marquis Mansion, and make the imperial concubine's camp suspicious. If you can capture Li Jiangwei's heart, you may be able to take the road to the Huaixing Marquis Mansion in one fell swoop.

"Wan Jiayan" is her work again, and the emperor admires Chengwei very much. Li Jiangwei has become a side concubine, so her father's love for "Wan Jiayan" can be transferred to herself.

"Anyway, it's just a side concubine, and then I can find a concubine who can be suppressed. The position of the side concubine is enough to elevate her for a concubine. ”

"That's what the mother said."

Li Jiangwei didn't know that she had been targeted at this time, and she had been busy with the things related to the teahouse in the past few days.

Until now, Wu Shilu has not received support from his family, and the teahouse can only be secretly invested, and many things that need to be completed by Wu Shilu are entrusted to Li Jiangwei. This teahouse is more like Li Jiangwei's industry these days.

came and went, and it alarmed Qian Manniang.

Just when Li Jiangwei was about to participate in the Flower God Meeting in two days, a maid came to Rongyueju to send a message and asked the fourth lady to go to Rongyueju. Li Xin and Li Yue, who hadn't heard the news of Rongyueju for a long time, were in a trance.

"Girl, do you need me and Lixin to accompany you?"

"No need."

Li Jiangwei knew that Li Yue was worried about herself when she said this, for fear that the Qian family would come to find trouble again.

"You two are good at home." After that, Li Jiangwei looked in the direction of the small kitchen again, "If the two of you are idle, learn the craft with Limo." Even if Limo wasn't in Qingxueyuan, a few of us wouldn't be hungry. ”

Li Yue was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Li Mo?" ”

Li Jiangwei smiled: "It's okay, it's just that we're all older." Who can say for sure that there is such a thing as division and combination? ”
