The girl who had a private meeting with the second prince here turned out to be the third girl of the Xuanguo Mansion!

The girls outside the Qiushui Pavilion were boiling all at once, like a pot of boiling water, and they were in a lot of noise.

No one noticed that the corners of Ye Luchen's mouth, who was standing in front of the girls, were hooked into a smug smile, and his eyes were as sharp and cold as wolves.

Duanmu's pupils were dark and dark. As soon as such an ugly thing came out, it was not Chu Qingyu who lost face, but the sisters of the Xuanguo Mansion and the Chu family!

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chu Qingyi, the second girl of Chu in front of her, Chu Qingyi's face was extremely ugly, as white as paper, and her slender figure trembled slightly, I don't know if she was shocked, ashamed, or angry.

Duanmu Fei took half a step forward, secretly pulled Chu Qingyi's sleeve, and whispered in her ear: "Second Miss Chu, hurry up and invite Second Lady Chu." ”

Chu Qingyi, who was standing on the spot, came back to his senses and immediately glanced at the personal maid beside him.

The maid also heard Duanmufei's words, and quietly took a step back, and took another step back...... While others weren't paying attention, he ran away as fast as he could.

Of course, the hustle and bustle outside the door also alarmed the people on the other side of the door, Mu Youchang turned his head to look outside the door, and the consternation on Junyi's face could not be hidden.

And Chu Qingyu in his arms moaned lowly, and the originally chaotic eyes gradually cleared, but his head was still heavy, and the sound outside echoed in her ears like it had been amplified several times for her, hitting her head like a heavy hammer, making her have a splitting headache.

Chu Qingyu didn't know where she was, but she had already realized that something was wrong, she pinched her palm fiercely, and used pain to make herself more sober.

She remembered......

Half an hour ago, the imperial concubine Ye Luchen asked her to come to Qiushui Pavilion to get the Jiaowei Qin given by the emperor.

She thought that Duanmufei would fall into the water after a while, although it had nothing to do with herself, and she couldn't find her head, but she was far away to avoid suspicion, and just before the painting boat went offshore, she got off the boat and rushed to this Qiushui Pavilion.

After entering the house, she seemed to smell a little bit of the fragrance of hibiscus flowers, and then she was a little confused, and her consciousness was far away.

It wasn't until now that she woke up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into her, but she found herself being held in the arms of the second prince!

How so?!

Chu Qingyu's whole person froze, his chaotic mind was almost unable to think, and his ears were buzzing.

She instinctively wanted to push away Mu Youchang, who was holding her slender waist in front of her, but found that her whole body was weak and she couldn't use her strength at all, so she barely moved her face by less than half an inch, and fell back into Mu Youchang's arms.

Mu Youchang's right hand exerted a slight force, turned around suddenly, and half-sideways hid Chu Qingyu's delicate body in his embrace, blocking the eyes of others for her.

However, the corners of his mouth were at an angle that no one else outside the door could see, outlining a self-satisfied arc, and his narrow black eyes were gloomy and cold.

Three days ago, when he was in the martial arts arena, Chu Qingyu offered to cooperate with him.

She said that she needed to borrow someone from him to do something very important, and in turn, she could give him advice.

She suggested that he could first go to the imperial concubine Yeluchen to form an alliance, and now the imperial concubine is being favored, and she can blow the wind on the emperor's pillow, influence some of the emperor's decisions, and even the emperor's perception of him. And the imperial concubine is now facing the urgent need of Beiyan, but her foundation in Dasheng is still shallow, and it can be said that she is isolated, and she also needs help.

At that time, Mu Youchang knew that his opportunity had come.

On the one hand, Chu Qingyu's suggestion moved Mu Youchang, and on the other hand, what moved him even more was "Chu Qingyu" - as long as he could marry Chu Qingyu, he could get the help of the Xuanguo Mansion, which was the greatest value for him.

At that time, he responded to Chu Qingyu without saying a word.

The alliance with the imperial concubine was easy, and taking the opportunity of the emperor to let the Northern Yan envoys return to China, he let the imperial concubine direct and act out the bitter trick of "going to water". This plan succeeded, and the imperial concubine got what she wanted, so she agreed to help him marry Chu Qingyu after meeting him today.

Mu Youchang quietly glanced at Ye Luchen outside the door, and exchanged a look with each other that only the two of them knew.

Ye Luchen let out a hearty laugh, and said with a smile: "Second Emperor, since you are in love with the third girl of Chu, then go and ask the emperor for marriage." Young Mu Ai, human nature. According to the palace, you Dasheng people are mother-in-law's, and they are not as happy as our Beiyan people. ”

"Dasheng has a saying, it is better to meet than to meet by chance, and today the palace bumped into it, so simply let the palace be the matchmaker, and everyone can be a witness."

"Little Lizi, why don't you hurry up and invite the emperor over!"

Outside the Qiushui Pavilion, only Ye Luchen's voice echoed in the air.

Most of the girls behind her hung their heads, their faces flushed, white, and purple, and they were ashamed.

They are all girls who have not left the cabinet, and the imperial concubine actually asked them to witness this kind of private teaching?!

What did she do with them?!

If this news spreads, they will become a laughing stock for those who are there.

Duanmu Fei's brows furrowed even tighter, and he gently pulled Chu Qingyi's sleeve again.

Chu Qingyi was only fifteen years old, where did he go through such a thing, his mind was blank, and he was already confused.

Duanmu Fei whispered a reminder in her ear: "Second Miss Chu, this 'must not' is a ...... of mutual affection."

Chu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and understood.

Duanmu Fei said "never", yes, the imperial concubine said nicely that it is "two loves", but who doesn't know that this is "private teaching", once it is implemented, then the girls and sons of the Chu family, and even those aunts and grandmothers who have been married, will be affected, and the reputation of the Chu family's century-old hairpin family will also be stained forever.

Chu Qingyi gave Duanmu Fei a grateful look, took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, slow down!" ”

At this moment, Chu Qingyi held his head high, his eyes were clear, and he appropriately blocked the waiter named "Little Lizi".

The eyes of the other girls around them all fell on Chu Qingyi, with different expressions, either surprised, curious, contemptuous, or gloating.

Chu Qingyi felt that those gazes were piercing her like needles, and she was apprehensive, but on the surface, she made a calm appearance.

At this time, she must not show timidity, let alone retreat.

She must seize the moment to turn the tide, otherwise, it will really be irretrievable.

Duanmu Fei in the back squinted slightly, looking at Chu Qingyu, who was still "delicately" shrunk in Mu Youchang's arms at the moment, his pupils became a little deeper.

Her surname is Duanmu now, and she is an outsider, and at this moment, Chu Qingyi must speak first.

Regardless of whether there is an inside story in today's matter, the Chu family cannot be implicated!

Duanmu Fei's gaze looked from Chu Qingyu to Chu Qingyi again, and there was always an innocent smile on the corner of her mouth, and no one noticed that under her long eyelashes, there was a cold and determined light in her big black eyes.

Chu Qingyi walked to Ye Luchen's side, and said, "Imperial concubine Niangniang, there is something wrong with the third sister of the courtier, please call a doctor to show the third sister." ”

Ye Luchen frowned, and was about to speak, when Chu Qingyi had already stepped into the room with his skirt, and said: "Men and women are not kissed, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, even if the third sister of my family is not in good health, His Royal Highness the Second Prince should not 'exceed the rules'." ”

What she meant was that the second prince and Chu Qingyu were not taught to each other privately, but Chu Qingyu was unwell, and the second prince helped her.

Everyone else also heard it, and they all waited for the development of the situation with bated breath, or looked at the second prince and Chu Qingyu, or looked at Chu Qingyi, or looked at Ye Luchen.

Mu Youchang unexpectedly raised his right eyebrow, feeling annoyed in his heart.

He originally thought that he would let the imperial concubine bring more people to witness him and Chu Qingyu "exchanging heartfelt feelings", and then the imperial concubine would send someone to invite the emperor over, and he would show the emperor that he and Chu Qing were in harmony.

He wasn't worried about Chu Qingyu, even if Chu Qingyu knew that she was being calculated! What else could she do?

Her reputation is ruined, and besides, didn't she offer to cooperate with him?!

He just "obeyed" her wishes and brought the two of them closer together!

In the public, the matter has come to this point, so the emperor and the Chu family will definitely agree to this marriage in order to settle this ugly matter.

From then on, the Xuanguo Mansion will be tied to him.

With the prestige of the Xuanguo Mansion in the court and Shilin, it can not only wash away his previous "stigma", but also make him stand out among several princes and get greater help.

Mu Youchang didn't speak, and for a while, the needles in the room could be heard.

He quietly threw another look at Yeluchen outside the house, Yeluchen squinted, raised his voice and reprimanded: "Little Lizi, why don't you invite the emperor!" ”

"Yes, Imperial Concubine." Xiao Li Zi replied resignedly.

"Wait!" Chu Qingyi wanted to stop Xiao Lizi again, but the other party had already left quickly.

Duanmu Fei looked at the back of Xiao Lizi leaving and frowned.

She, the second sister of the Chu family, has a docile temperament since she was a child, and it is good to be able to come up with this method to prevaricate in a panic.

However, dozens of people here have witnessed it with their own eyes, and I am afraid that they will not be able to use a sentence of Chu Qing to perfunctory the feeling of physical discomfort.

Even if it is confused today, it will inevitably be discussed privately in the capital in the future, and the reputation of the Chu family is still flawless!

Duanmu pursed her lips and said with a worried expression: "Miss Chu San looks really sick, and she is not lightly ill, otherwise, why don't you see her move at all?" …… Ah, Miss Chu San shouldn't have some serious illness, right? ”

Originally, because the second prince and Chu Qingyu hugged each other so intimately, these girls who had not left the cabinet were embarrassed to look at each other. Duanmu Fei mentioned this at this moment, and those girls realized that something was wrong.

Regardless of whether the two of them have a private meeting here or not, now that they have been seen by so many people, why should they avoid it?!

However, Chu Qingyu was still held in the arms of the second prince like this, motionless, and what was even more strange was that the second prince had no intention of letting go of her at all.

This does seem to be a bit strange.

Could it be that the third girl of Chu is really sick, so weak that she can't move, and she can't say a word, and the second prince takes advantage of the danger of others and waits for an opportunity to take advantage of the third girl of Chu?!

Thinking about it, the girls looked at each other again, whispered, and this thought came to their hearts.

The air around him seemed to change subtly.

Duanmu Fei said solemnly: "Second Miss Chu, I really want to ask the doctor to take a look." The imperial doctor I just invited for Miss Liu should be almost there. ”

Although Duanmujun didn't like Chu Qingyu, she knew that Mrs. Chu was very kind to her sister, and Chu Qingyi was still the master of her and the ceremony, so at this time, she naturally had to help the Chu family. She commanded the maid loudly: "Wisteria, go and see, why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet!" ”

Chu Qing's words were chaotic, all kinds of feelings in his heart were intertwined, hate, shame and panic, hating the second prince for actually teaming up with Ye Luchen to calculate himself, ashamed that so many people watched him hug the second prince, how to be good after panicking about this matter......

She felt as if her strength had returned, and she was able to stand firmly.

It seems that the medicinal effect of that incense should start to subside.

She gritted her teeth secretly, pushed her hands violently, pushed Mu Youchang away, and staggered behind the five screens of a rosewood rosewood seat passionflower unicorn, her breathing was disordered and heavy, just like her heartbeat at the moment.

What should she do next?

"Yu'er!" Mu Youchang called affectionately, and took two steps closer to the screen, his handsome face was polite and affectionate, "This palace will be responsible for you...... Don't worry. No matter what happens, Hongu will bear it with you! ”

Mu Youchang looked at the direction of the screen with a pair of eyes stupidly, as if he wanted to see through it, which made the surrounding viewers can't help but think about it.

This second prince is really out of tune! Chu Qingyi listened to the mixture of shame and anger on the side, his fists clenched tightly together, and his delicate body trembled slightly with anger.

Chu Qingyi also understood the intention of Duanmu Fei's words just now, this matter "must" be the fault of the second prince, so that the Chu family can get rid of the stigma to the greatest extent!

"Third sister, are you okay?" Chu Qingyi hurriedly rushed behind the screen, called nervously in her mouth, and deliberately raised her voice so that those people outside the house could also hear her voice.

"Third sister, what do you think now? But what's uncomfortable? ”

"Can't breathe, is your body weak?"

"Smell the salt......

"Third sister, don't worry, it's okay. You wait here for me for a moment! ”

Saying that, Chu Qingyi hurriedly came out from behind the screen with her skirt again, it seemed that she was anxious, she walked quickly to Ye Luchen, and asked: "Imperial concubine Niangniang, please ......come over with a soft sedan chair if you are still bothering the palace people."

Duanmu frowned slightly, secretly saying that it was inappropriate. At this time, Chu Qingyu can't leave, and he has to explain the matter clearly in front of these people.

Duanmu Fei was about to speak, when he saw Ye Luchen cross the threshold, and directly interrupted Chu Qingyi coquettishly: "No." The palace has already sent someone to invite the emperor, and we must wait for the emperor to come! ”

After a pause, Ye Luchen seemed to feel that his tone was too strong, and added lightly: "Since this matter has been bumped into by this palace, I must give an explanation to the Chu family." ”

Having finally come to this point, how could he easily let Chu Qingyu go. Mu Youchang hurriedly turned around and echoed: "Second Miss Chu, don't worry, this palace will definitely ask my father for marriage." "There is no time to lose.

Duanmu Fei looked straight at Ye Luchen, his brows moved, and a streamer flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, his eyes returned to tranquility, and he knew it in his heart.

This incident was too coincidental, Ye Luchen said that he wanted to bring them here to sit, and when he opened the door, he "happened" to bump into Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu having a private meeting here.

Duanmu Fei had suspected that there was something inside before, and now, she can be 100% sure-

This "good show" Ye Luchen and Mu Youchang both participated.

Duanmu Fei glanced at the five screens of the rosewood seat, and Chu Qingyu's slender figure could be vaguely seen behind the hazy screen.

Speaking of which, the girl of the Chu family would not be so shameless and give private advice to men, but for Chu Qingyu, Duanmufei did not dare to talk about it as ordinary.

Chu Qingyu has too many unreasonable doubts!

Several people in the Water Pavilion confronted each other, and the girls outside the Water Pavilion looked at each other, mostly confused: Is this the second prince and Chu Qingyu privately giving each other, or is the second prince taking advantage of the danger?! …… But no matter which truth it is, these two princes seem to be of bad character!

In the water pavilion, every word you say to me is extremely noisy; Outside the Water Pavilion, everyone was silent, silent.

I don't know how long it took, but a palace maid on the side suddenly shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The four words diverted the attention of everyone inside and outside the Water Pavilion, and they all turned their heads in unison.

A few zhang away, the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe strode towards this side with a few palace maids.

From a distance, they couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, but they could already feel that the emperor was in a bad mood from the emperor's wind-like steps and fierce momentum, and the air around them suddenly became cold.

Of course, Ye Luchen and Mu Youchang also saw the emperor, and the two quickly exchanged a look, and they both walked out of the Water Pavilion.

Everyone surrounded Yeluchen and Mu Youchang and saluted the emperor, "See the emperor." ”

"No courtesy." The emperor said lightly, looking at Mu Youchang's eyes gloomy.

Ye Luchen straightened up, walked towards the emperor with a smile, and was about to speak, but was preempted by a crisp female voice: "Your Majesty, Miss Chu San seems to be sick." Duanmu Fei looked at the emperor innocently.

Chu Qingyi hurriedly took a step forward, walked to Duanmufei's side, and followed: "Your Majesty, my sister is unwell and can't greet the holy driver, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"Presumptuous!" Ye Luchen frowned, and scolded the two of them unhappily, "There is no place for you to talk here!" ”

A gloomy color flashed in Mu Youchang's eyes, and he knelt on the cold and hard bluestone brick floor in public with a "plop" sound, raised his chin and looked at the emperor and said: "Father, the son and the third girl of Chu are in love, and they can't help but ......forget for a while, and they will get carried away for a while."

"No, Your Majesty, that's not the case!" Chu Qingyu's voice suddenly came from the water pavilion in the rear.

Chu Qingyu walked towards the outside of the house with a vague step, there was almost no blood on his beautiful face, and his expression was anxious, and there was a hint of apprehension.

Mu Youchang was still affectionate, and said meaningfully: "Yu'er, don't hide it anymore." My father is here, and he will definitely make decisions for us, and we will definitely be able to hold the hand of our son and grow old with our son in the future! ”

Chu Qingyu's lips trembled slightly, and her face became even more ugly, as if she was about to faint at any time.

Duanmu Fei looked at Chu Qingyu and Mu Youchang back and forth, his eyes flashing slightly.

She didn't bother to pay attention to the inside story behind this, and she didn't care about Chu Qingyu's fate, she just ......

The Chu family must not be affected.

Duanmu Fei pretended to be worried and said, "Third Miss Chu, I don't think your face is very good-looking, so you have to let the imperial doctor take a look quickly." As she spoke, she craned her neck and looked around, "Strange? Even the emperor has arrived, why hasn't the person sent by the imperial concubine to ask for a doctor come yet......"

Duanmufei shook his head in disagreement, his expression seemed to say, the person who invited the imperial doctor went first, and the person who invited the emperor went later, the emperor came, the imperial doctor still didn't come, and the imperial doctor's shelf was too big.

However, her mouth said meaningfully: "Could it be that the Imperial Doctor was delayed by something?" ”

The emperor's eyes swept a sharp glance at Mu Youchang, who was kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't help but wonder if the second son had sent someone to stop the imperial doctor. So, why did he stop the Imperial Doctor?!

At this time, when he looked at Chu Qingyu again, the emperor felt that there was something wrong with her body everywhere, her forehead was sweating, her steps were floating, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak...... It's like you're going to get over at any moment.

Mu Youchang was a little uneasy by the emperor's glance just now, Chu Qingyu still has a residual incense in his body, if the imperial doctor comes to diagnose the pulse, he will definitely be able to find some clues, then it involves who gave Chu Qingyu the incense......

This matter has not been investigated!

He originally wanted to let the emperor give him a marriage in the name of mutual affection, but now it seems that he still has to make a trade-off, and it is better to "behave badly" than "have bad intentions"!

Mu Youchang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said to the emperor again: "Father, the sons and daughters are sincere to the third girl of Chu, and today they have exceeded the norm...... The son was willing to bear it with all his strength and begged his father to give him a marriage. ”

Seeing Mu Youchang's attitude, the other girls around him also understood in their hearts, I am afraid that the second prince had already admired the third girl of Chu, and took advantage of the other party's discomfort to take the opportunity to get close to the other party and take advantage of the weakness!

The emperor stared at Mu Youchang silently for a while without speaking, and he was actually a little hesitant in his heart.

Whether these two children are taught to each other privately, or the second son encounters Chu Qingyu who is unwell and oversteps for a while, it is not a big deal for him.

What's more, if the second son can marry Chu Qingyu, it should be a good thing, firstly, it can calm down today's affairs, and secondly, it can dilute the rumors that the second son has a habit of breaking his sleeves.

In the future, Chu Qingyu will give birth to a son and a half daughter, and in a few years, naturally no one will remember Xuanxin's ugly incident.

The emperor's lips moved slightly, and at this moment, an attendant suddenly approached the emperor, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Old Lady Chu and Second Lady Chu are here." ”

It's good that my grandfather and second aunt are here! Chu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly searched for traces of his family with his eyes.

Under a row of willow trees not far away, Old Lady Chu and Second Lady Chu Cheng were walking along the shore of the lake towards this side, followed by Chu Qingyi's personal maid, obviously she invited someone over in time.

On the contrary, Mu Youchang sighed in his heart, he was sure that his father would agree to this marriage, but he was unsure of Xuanguogong's reaction, and originally thought that even if he would be saddled with the name of "taking advantage of people's danger", he would let his father take the opportunity to respond to the marriage, then, Emperor Chrysostom said that afterwards, no matter how dissatisfied Xuanguo Gongfu was, it would be too late!

Unexpectedly, he was so calculating, but he was mixed up like this.

In the eyes of everyone, Old Lady Chu and the Cheng family gradually approached, but Duanmu Fei's eyes were focused on Old Lady Chu's feet and frowned. Something seems wrong with my grandfather's feet, could it be that foot paralysis has flareed up again?!

Old Lady Chu and Cheng first saluted the emperor, and then Chu Qingyu and Chu Qingyi saluted the two elders, Chu Qingyu looked at Old Lady Chu and Cheng with an expectant expression.

Their Chu family has a century-old family motto, and if the daughter of the Chu family does not enter the palace, his grandfather will definitely not agree!

Cheng looked at Chu Qingyu a few steps away with a complicated expression, as the saying goes, children are debts in previous lives, obviously she had been completely disappointed in Chu Qingyu a long time ago, but she didn't expect that her daughter could "go further".

Whether it is as a wife of the Chu family or a mother, of course she does not want her daughter to enter the palace.

But......

Cheng looked at Old Lady Chu silently, but Old Lady Chu looked at the emperor without squinting, and said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister has heard about it...... The old minister agreed to the marriage. ”

As Old Lady Chu's words fell, everyone except Duanmu Fei was stunned and stunned.

Even if the rest of them didn't know the family motto of the Chu family, they also knew that the Chu family had never married the royal family for more than a hundred years, but they didn't expect to set a precedent this time......
