He Boche, the prince of Xinguo, was taken away from the title by the emperor's decree, and the fact that the title was transferred to the concubine He Zhongche spread to the government and the opposition within a day.

For the newly appointed Shinkoku Gong He Zhongche, this is simply a good thing that fell from the sky.

He Zhongche was overjoyed and personally entered the palace to thank the emperor.

For a few days in a row, this matter spread in Beijing, overpowering the matter of the second prince making a small decision to the girl in the Xuanguo Mansion.

Many mansions have linked the seizure of the title of He Boche with the impeachment of Duanmuxian by him and Zhang Yushi that morning, and the incident of that day, on the surface, the emperor punished Duanmuxian, but in the final analysis, who suffered from the Duanmu family and the He family, those shrewd courtiers can see it clearly.

The question of filial piety and unfilial piety of the eldest girl of the Duanmu family, except for the women in the inner house, in fact, no one pays attention to it, but in their spare time, there are still some remarks that "the eldest daughter of the widow cannot be married" circulated among the provinces, saying that Duanmu Jun is the eldest daughter of the widow, without a mother's upbringing, and her temperament is somewhat lacking; Some people also say that if it weren't for the problem with Duanmujun, how could there be a reputation for unfilial piety!

People are different, some people don't look down on it, and some people look down on it, for example, Mrs. Chang'an Bo secretly pondered, thinking that it would be good if she could tell her young son about a strong girl like Duanmujun.

Mrs. Chang'anbo was not familiar with the Duanmu family, and now that the He family and the Xiao He family were not in the mansion, she thought about it, so she simply entered the palace to inquire about Duanmu Guifei.

When Duanmu Fei and Hanxing came over, Mrs. Chang'anbo was halfway through speaking:

“…… Although the eldest girl of the Duanmu family has never seen it, she has heard that she is an excellent person, with a sharp temperament and capable ability, and manages the housekeeping of the family in an orderly manner. ”

"There are hundreds of women in this family, the noble concubine Niangniang, the young son of the courtier, you have also seen it. The appearance is very Zhouzheng, and the temperament is gentle, and it is not like those gentlemen in Beijing who make trouble outside every day......"

When Mrs. Chang'anbo talked about her son, she naturally tried her best to pick up the good ones, avoiding the important and light, her young son was not bad, that is, she had always cherished the flowers and cherished the jade, and was very soft-hearted to the girl's family, so that the maids in the yard were jealous and jumped up and down, so Mrs. Chang'anbo has been thinking about finding a housewife for her young son's backyard in order to be able to hold down the battle.

Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, who were outside the door curtain at this moment, also heard these words, Han Xing frowned slightly, and whispered a few words in Duanmu Fei's ear.

Hanxing has always liked to listen to people's chatter, and he also knows a little about the little son of Chang'an Bofu, and feels that this person is not worthy of his cousin.

"Mrs. Bo, don't worry, this palace will ask your father for you." Duanmu Guifei said in a good voice, "When there is news, the palace will send someone to your mansion." ”

Duanmu Guifei politely said some scenes, and Mrs. Chang'an Bo thanked her for a thousand thanks, and then took her leave.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Chang'anbo's departure, Duanmu Guifei's eyes flashed quietly, and she said in her heart: Sister Jun'er is good, of course she knows, so she won't let it go to others!

The little prince of Chang'an Bofu said that it was good, it was pity and cherishing jade, and if it was not good, it was merciful everywhere, where was it worthy of Sister Jun. If Mrs. Chang'an Bo wants to control her son, she might as well find a reliable housekeeper!

Duanmu Fei, Hanxing's cousins and Mrs. Chang'an staggered, and the two little girls sat down after saluting Duanmu Guifei.

Han Xing asked curiously, "Mother, how many are these?" ”

In the past two days, from time to time, some ladies and ladies have come to the palace to find Duanmu Guifei and inquire about Duanmujun's marriage.

"This is the fifth." Duanmu Guifei said while carelessly removing the floating leaves from the tea soup with the tea lid.

Duanmu's brows furrowed even tighter.

This is the fifth, but in her opinion, not only the little son of Chang'an Bofu, but also none of the sons of other families are worthy of her sister!

For example, the second son of the Huaihua General's Mansion, I heard that Wen Cheng is not a martial artist, and he likes to run out the most, no, after leaving Beijing for a "study tour" after the year, he never came back; For example, the fourth son of Yujun Wangfu, who loves beautiful women the most, has not yet married, and has already accepted a room of concubines in the backyard, and it is said that even the eldest son is two or three years old.

"These sons, none of them are worthy of Sister Wei." Duanmu Guifei just said Duanmu Fei's heart, and Duanmu Fei nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Duanmu Guifei felt a lot more relieved, and said secretly: Yes, since Sister Scarlet can't look down on it, Sister Wei will definitely not look down on it either. There is still hope for the emperor......

"But, ah......" Han Xing suddenly interjected, she deliberately dragged a long voice with an appetite, which caused Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Guifei to raise willow eyebrows curiously.

Han Xing hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Cousin Scarlet, these ladies can take a fancy to Cousin Wei, which means that they are quite discerning!" ”

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but recall Mrs. Fang Cai's praise to her sister, and she also smiled. Well, yes, her sister is really cool and capable.

While the three of them were talking, a palace maid came in with a curtain and said, "Concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come to greet you." ”

After the opening of the palace, the prince is also considered an adult, and he can no longer enter the harem at will. According to the rules of the ancestors, several princes can only enter the palace once every ten years to greet the queen and other elders, but generally the prince opens the mansion when he marries his wife, and his own princess enters the palace to fulfill his filial piety for the prince.

The second prince naturally entered the palace this time to ask his biological mother Wen Shufei for peace, but Duanmu Guifei occupied a high position, and he specially came to say hello to show his filial piety.

Duanmu Guifei knew that this was just a courtesy on the scene, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, please." Between the words, she had already made a loving appearance.

After a while, Mu Youchang, the second prince wearing an apricot yellow prince python robe, came in under the guidance of the palace maid, he grew taller again, his face was as handsome as jade, his body was like a bamboo cultivator, and he had a graceful and elegant demeanor between his steps.

"I've seen the concubine." Mu Youchang respectfully saluted Duanmu Guifei, and also greeted Hanxing and Duanmu Fei one by one.

Then, Mu Youchang greeted Duanmu Guifei in a warm voice: "Guifei Niangniang, the son and grandson have just gone to ask for peace to their father, and I heard my father say that the eldest brother has arrived in the south." ”

Duanmu Guifei responded, elegantly picked up the pastel teacup, and said with a smile: "The news that just came two days ago, the palace is finally relieved." ”

Seeing that the concubine was slowly sipping tea and not saying more, Mu Youchang's eyes flashed, and he had to test again: "I don't know how the eldest brother is now?" Since the eldest brother left Beijing, Erchen has always been very worried about the eldest brother. He looked concerned and worried about his brother.

Duanmu Guifei put down the teacup with a smile, played Tai Chi with him, and said: "Your eldest brother said in the letter that he ate well, slept soundly, and everything was fine." She only scratched the surface of the situation with him, and said nothing about the South.

Mu Youchang was a little disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't ask any more, and after politely greeting Duanmu Guifei, he took the initiative to leave.

Next, Mu Youchang had to rush to meet his biological mother, Wen Shufei.

After leaving Zhong Cui Palace, he quickened his pace and walked all the way to the east, walking like a fly.

Under the golden sunlight, his dark eyes were unusually bright and bright, and his mind was racing.

The day before yesterday, after the Inner Court Division went to the Xuanguo Mansion to make a decision, the grandmother sent by Concubine Wen Shu sent back a purse, saying that it was given by the third girl of Chu. There was a piece of silk paper hidden in the purse, and only one line was written on it, and Chu Qingyu asked to see him.

Mu Youchang soon stopped at the gate of a palace, his eyes flickering.

His marriage with Chu Qingyu was able to succeed because he designed Chu Qingyu in the Xiyuan Hunting Palace last year, God knows this matter, he knows, Chu Qingyu will definitely be able to guess it.

He wants to marry Chu Qingyu in order to get the help of the Xuanguo Mansion, if he wants the Xuanguo Mansion to help him willingly, he must first let Chu Qingyu marry him willingly.

Originally, he also planned to try to meet Chu Qingyu, but since he came back from hunting in the autumn of last year, he visited the Xuanguo Mansion several times, but was rejected by Xuanguo Gong, and Xuanguo Gong obviously did not want to see him, so he had no chance to meet Chu Qingyu.

After he received Chu Qingyu's purse this time, he knew that even if he went to the Xuanguo Mansion and said that he wanted to see Chu Qingyu, he would probably not be able to see it, so he asked his mother to announce Chu Qingyu into the palace in her name.

They just made a small ceremony, according to the rules, the mother concubine should also look at Chu Qingyu, the future daughter-in-law, which is reasonable, and the Xuanguo Mansion cannot object.

Chu Qingyu wanted to see it, so let's come for the "thing" of that day!

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince." A round-faced palace maid greeted her with joy, and diligently led Mu Youchang inside, through the courtyard and the main hall, until he came to the east side hall.

There were two women sitting in the room, one in her thirties, wearing a gorgeous purple butterfly and a shower gold gown, combing a charming fallen horse bun, and the red gold dots and emerald inlaid eight treasures phoenix hairpin obliquely inserted between the sideburns were shining, lining the woman's radiant face, it was Wen Shufei.

"Emperor!" When Concubine Wen saw Mu Youchang, she smiled, pulled him to speak for a while, and then proposed very considerately, "Emperor, it is rare for the third girl of Chu to enter the palace, you take her to the imperial garden for a walk, take a walk, and enjoy the flowers." ”

Concubine Wen looked meaningfully at Chu Qingyu who was sitting by the window.

Today, Chu Qingyu wore a silver-white plum bamboo chrysanthemum pattern satin gown with a rouge skirt, and under the sunlight of the window, the silver-white satin seemed to be glowing, making her whole person beautiful and moving.

Chu Qingyu stood up elegantly, blessed Concubine Wen, and went out with Mu Youchang.

The three of them all knew that Concubine Wen was deliberately giving Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu a chance to be alone.

Under the leadership of Mu Youchang, Chu Qingyu followed him in the direction of the Imperial Garden, it was only more than half of the hour, the sun was warm and warm, the trees were verdant, and the crisp chirping of birds around him came and went, as if they were singing in a chorus to celebrate something.

However, there was silence between Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu, and the silence made the atmosphere around the two of them slightly stagnate.

After a while, the Imperial Garden appeared in front of him, and Mu Youchang saw that there was no one around, so he suddenly stopped and called softly: "Third Miss Chu." ”

Chu Qingyu also stopped, turned his head to look at him, and saw Mu Youchang solemnly making a long gesture to himself, and said, "Third Miss Chu, the incident when you went to hunt in the autumn of the year...... It's not the palace, the palace and the girl are not. ”

The spring breeze blew slowly, blowing the corners of the two of them with the wind, hunting sounded, and only the sound of clothes flying and the wind blowing leaves was left in Chu Qingyu's ears.

She looked at Mu Youchang who was bowing down to her a few steps away, her eyes were not as calm as they were on her face, and there were extremely complex emotions surging in her dark pupils.

For the second prince, she originally had a grudge, resented him for designing her, and resented the emperor's marriage decree, she and Feng Yan were afraid that there was little hope......

However, this is a different moment.

Chu Qingyu's hands in front of his abdomen tightly grasped the silver-white handkerchief in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and Feng Yan's handsome face appeared in his mind.

Before coming here, she had already seen Feng Yan as she wished.

However, she expected the beginning, but she couldn't guess the result, Feng Yan didn't even know her, and the first thing he said to her was:

"Who are you?"

Thinking about these three words at this moment, it still pierced Chu Qingyu's heart like a blade, and it hurt so much that she wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but she didn't, the long-cherished wish of the two worlds made her not give up easily, she mustered up the courage to reveal her identity to Feng Yan, and she mustered up the courage to tell Feng Yan that she could help him......

But once again, she was disappointed!

Feng Yan threw his sleeves away, his indifference and ruthlessness broke her heart.

The handkerchief in Chu Qingyu's hand was pinched tighter, the green tendons on the back of his white hand were bulging, and his heart felt as if he had been stabbed countless times, and he was in pain.

Everything she has done since her rebirth was for Feng Yan, but Feng Yan turned a blind eye as if she was blind, and she failed her heart.

She gave so much, for him, at the expense of angering her grandfather, grandmother and mother; For him, she is now isolated at home and has a hard time, but he empathizes.

Chu Qingyu's eyes were deeper and more complicated, and there was resentment, despair, sadness, and unwillingness...... Countless negative emotions are intertwined into a giant spider web that entangles her in it.

The silence between the two continued to spread, leaving only the sound of Chu Qingyu's heavy breathing, which became more and more rapid.

Mu Youchang stood in a pretentious posture for a long time, and when he saw that Chu Qingyu had not spoken, he straightened up and looked at her.

The two looked at each other, and Mu Youchang clearly and definitely saw the entanglement in Chu Qing's eyes, and only thought that she was still a little unwilling and hesitant in her heart.

Mu Youchang showed a faint smile at her, his smile was gentle and elegant, and continued: "This palace knows that you complain about this palace, and this palace also knows that no matter what this palace explains, it can't cover up the mistakes that this palace made before, but the past is gone, we still have a long future, and this palace will use a lifetime to make up for you." ”

"This palace really likes you, and you are the only one in my heart."

"This palace swears to you that it will be good to you for the rest of your life! Never take a concubine in the future! ”

Mu Youchang said softly, his expression became softer and softer, and the black eyes were incredibly gentle, like the gurgling spring water.

Hearing Mu Youchang say that he would never accept a concubine, Chu Qingyu's heart trembled slightly, and his deep eyes rippled slightly.

If another man told her that he would not take a concubine in this life, Chu Qingyu would not believe it, but the second prince was different, after he married the lord of Jiuhua County in the previous life, he never took a concubine.

If he could in the previous life, then in this life, he will be able to speak if he wants to!

Unless Feng Yan and Mu Youchang are exclusive, she is afraid that she will not be able to find a man like this again...... Even if it is her cousin Cheng Yunan, he is not a third wife and four concubines!

Seeing that Chu Qingyu's face seemed to be moved, Mu Youchang's eyes flashed, and he guessed in his heart that Chu Qingyu was moved by his sentence "never accept a concubine".

His heart was excited, but he remained silent, and slowly took another step forward, less than a foot apart between the two.

He stretched out his hands to hold her plain hand, wrapped her hand in his warm palm, and solemnly continued to promise: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son, there is only you in this palace in this life!" ”

He looked at Chu Qingyu affectionately, as if there was only her left in his eyes, and she was the only one!

He swore to her that he would only have her in his life. Chu Qingyu's heart trembled again, as if something was plucking in her heart, and Feng Yan's indifferent voice sounded in her ears again.

Just now, Feng Yan said to her disdainfully: "Don't measure yourself! ”

He doesn't look down on her!

He didn't even want to listen to her anymore, so he left without any attachment......

Thinking of his resolute departure, Chu Qingyu's mood fluctuated violently, and he was extremely humiliated.

She took a few deep breaths, her fluctuating mood gradually calmed down, and her eyes became clear and calm, cold as water, sharp as a knife.

She should also be dead, Feng Yan is not worthy of her trust at all!

It's time for her to think about herself, too!

After leaving behind his attachment to Feng Yan, Chu Qingyu's heart was only left with calculations and interests.

In fact, in the last life, the second prince won the support of Wenchen in the court, and felt that he was extremely knowledgeable, had the style of an elegant scholar, Zhilan Yushu, and the second prince almost reached that "position".

In this life, with his own help, it is not impossible for the second prince to take the heir.

What's more, she also knows Feng Yan's biggest secret. Since Feng Yan has lost herself, don't blame her.

When the second prince sits on that supreme position, Feng Yan will naturally be unable to ignore her anymore, and at that time, he will definitely regret it, regret that he treated her wrongly, regret that he missed her!

She wants Feng Yan and Duanmu to kneel in front of her, bow down to her, and wagging their tails at her and begging for mercy!

She will give him back Feng Yan's words-

Bite off more than one can chew!

Chu Qingyu's pupils shrank sharply, as if he had seen that scene in front of him, and his heart was indescribably happy.

At this moment, Chu Qingyu made up his mind.

She raised her eyes to look at Mu Youchang, took half a step closer to him gracefully, her eyes were soft, and she said slowly: "Your Highness, I believe in you." ”

"Yu'er! Hongu will not fail you! ”

Mu Youchang's eyes bloomed with unconcealable ecstasy, and he was really happy, as if he saw that he had taken a big step forward from the supreme throne.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Chu Qingyu's eyebrows relaxed, and his heart was much more comfortable.

She said to herself that maybe she was wrong from the beginning, and instead of taking the initiative to chase the unreachable dawn, it was better to seize the opportunity next to her and climb up step by step!

Feng Yan didn't cherish her, that was Feng Yan's loss!

And grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers......

One day, she will make those who look down on her and hinder her regret it!

The corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth curled slightly, his eyes flashed with confidence, and he said, "Your Highness, I know your ambitions, and I will help you achieve great things." ”

With what she knows about the future, she can do it!

Mu Youchang also smiled, smiling warmly, smiling proudly, his expression was as gentle as the moon, and he stretched out his hand to make a petition.

The two entered through the gate on the east side of the Imperial Garden and continued along a cobblestone path that led to a clear lake that shimmered in the spring sun.

The lake is full of weeping willows, the weeping willows sway in the wind, gently stirring the surface of the lake, and countless white catkins flutter in the wind, like frost and snow, beautiful.

The two walked along the lake, and Mu Youchang introduced the imperial garden to Chu Qingyu as he walked.

Suddenly, there was a crisp laughing and laughing sound from the left front.

The voice sounded familiar, and Chu Qingyu couldn't help but stop, raising his eyes to look across the lake.

In the Tinglan Water Pavilion on the other side of the lake, two young girls are sitting on the railing with their backs to them, and they are looking down at the lake, pointing at the lake, as if watching the fish.

Chu Qingyu's eyes stared at one of the rose-red figures, even if she couldn't see the other party's face, she could guess who she was from the other party's back.

Ends, wood, scarlet.

Chu Qingyu silently read Duanmufei's name in his heart, but Duanmufei didn't turn around, but Han Xing looked in the direction of Chu Qingyu and Mu Youchang, Hanxing stretched out his hand and patted Duanmufei's shoulder, Duanmufei also looked over, her delicate little face was filled with an innocent smile.

This smile was so dazzling for Chu Qingyu at this moment, like a sharp arrow rushing through the surface of the lake and shooting straight into her chest, making her heart ache.

Chu Qingyu stared at the smile on the corner of Duanmu's mouth, and his body was as straight as a sculpture.

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei greeted the two of them with a slight bow, and continued to look at the lake, the two girls talked and laughed, like two little sparrows chirping.

The corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth flashed with a wry smile, and her hands clenched the handkerchief in her hand again, when she was immersed in the pain of marriage, she must have been living like a fish in water during this time!

Duanmufei didn't do anything at all, but "happiness" took the initiative to find her, this world is too unfair, some people don't need to do anything, they can have everything, and they obviously tried their best, but all they got was Feng Yan's sentence "I can't help myself".

No one can "sit back and enjoy it"!

She'll let Duanmu Fei know about this!

Chu Qingyu gritted his teeth, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart dissipated.

She turned around slowly, turned her back to Duanmu Fei and Hanxing on the other side of the lake, raised her eyes to look at Mu Youchang, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you believe me or not?" ”

Her eyes were clearer and brighter, with a strange scorching heat, and even her beautiful face had a touch of sharpness.

"Yu'er, don't you still understand the mind of this palace?" Mu Youchang said without hesitation, "Of course this palace believes in you!" ”

Another breeze blew, and the willow branches above swayed, gently and mischievously on Chu Qingyu and Mu Youchang's faces and clothes.

After Chu Qing sorted out his thoughts, he said in an orderly manner: "Your Highness, in fact, I had a dream in which Guanyin Bodhisattva told me something, something that would happen in the near future. ”

The son is silent, and the strange force is confused. Mu Youchang's brows moved, but he still maintained a shallow smile on his face, and he only felt that Chu Qingyu was a girl's family after all, so he would trust such a divine and divine thing as a dream.

Mu Youchang was about to vaguely appease Chu Qing for a few words, when he saw her smile bitterly, and said: "I also know that this matter is difficult to believe, no matter how many empty words you say now, Your Highness will always have doubts in her heart, so I only say one, the news of the death of the Pu King of the Northwest Pu Kingdom will come in half a month...... Whether you believe me now or not, you will know the truth in half a month. ”

King Pu Lang Rima is the husband of Xu Jingsi, the lord of Xinle County, and the pro-Pu country, he is the king of a country, and his death will inevitably have a great impact on the diplomatic relations between Pu and even Pu and Dasheng.

Mu Youchang heard her say that she was suspicious, and a thought vaguely appeared in his heart: If this is true......

Mu Youchang squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Qingyu deeply, his eyes flashed with an unusually bright brilliance, and his heartbeat beat accelerated.

If this is true, then he has found a treasure.

And half a month later, when the news of King Pu's death reached Mu Youchang's ears, he was even more sure of this idea.

Is he the true son of heaven, so God will give him a goddess like Chu Qingyu?!
