As soon as the Qiqiao Festival passed, the happiest person was undoubtedly Xiao Changle.

The prince has expressed his heart to her, which proves that the position of the crown princess is getting closer and closer to her.

And today is the day when Xiao Changge and Xiao Yayan return to Xiao's mansion, they got up early to freshen up, just like the last time, the two of them have two carriages, one each.

Xiao Yayan's face has not been very good since yesterday, her eyes are red and swollen, and even her face is pale, and she is holding a jar in her hand, and what the jar contains can be imagined.

It contained Che'er's ashes, and Xiao Yayan proposed to bring the ashes back to Che'er's hometown, and even the host was moved by this kindness.

As for what Che'er said before she died, they still remembered it in their hearts, although they should still be polite to Xiao Changge, but their attitude changed a little, although they didn't say it, Xiao Changge could feel it.

Just like now, if it was before, the host would definitely be the first to tell her to be careful on the road, but now the host and the abbot are standing on Xiao Yayan's side and telling Xiao Yayan to be careful on the road.

Xiao Changge didn't mind, anyway, after getting into the carriage, she no longer had anything to do with this Yanfeng Mountain.

Xiao Yayan nodded again and again, frowning with a look of vicissitudes.

"What you say, I'll tell my grandmother." Xiao Yayan smiled, and the host nodded.

And Xiao Changge was waiting in the carriage early, and when she saw Xiao Yayan chatting with the hosts, she was not in a hurry, but sat in the sedan chair with the red sleeves, she looked down at the books, and the red sleeves were embroidered with female red.

Chu Yu sat on the horseback, looked at Xiao Yayan with phoenix eyes, and then looked at the carriage next to him.

couldn't help but think of what Xiao Changge said yesterday, and he was hesitating repeatedly.

Xiao Yayan got into the carriage under the eyes of the host and the abbot, and then the two carriages walked slowly.

Unlike last time, this time there were more Chu Yu walking with them.

As soon as Xiao Yayan got into the carriage, she put the jar in the corner, patted her body and said in disgust: "This dead man's thing is really unlucky." ”

The thought of what had happened in the temple now felt eerie, and then it was as if something was staring at her.

She had forgotten about the white silk and the wild dog, and in her heart, she had already decided that Xiao Changge did it!

She can even pretend to be a ghost, these things are not trivial matters to her, but there is no evidence to prove that if she takes it out, then Xiao Changge will definitely bite her back and say that she slandered.

In this matter, the host should have mistakenly thought that Xiao Changge had done it.

People never lie until they die, but they ignore one kind of person, and that is to choose to lie when they are hungry to protect their families.

However, no one will believe what there is no evidence to say, all they can do is to tell the surroundings, even if it reaches the ears of the Xiao family, then they still have to come up with evidence.

And Xiao Changge believes that Chu Yu will never leak out of his work, let alone let people take advantage of it.

……

In the Luofan Palace, a woman sat on the couch, she was wearing a goose yellow dress, embroidered with fine dark lines, her black hair was coiled up, the phoenix hairpin was inserted in her hair, her skin was like fat, and her red lips were like cherry blossoms, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man standing in front of her.

"Mo'er, do you know that you have lost a good opportunity." The woman's thin lips opened lightly, and her tone was reproachful.

She worked hard to help him tie up, so that he could have a begging festival with Xia Ruoyun, but what about him? He left without saying a word, wasting this good opportunity in vain.

"Mother, could it be that Xia Ruoyun told you? Or, mother, do you send someone to follow the child? Chu Mo raised his head and looked at the woman on the couch with dark eyes.

"Yun'er is not a person with a long tongue, how can she tell me this?" Concubine Jing saw that Chu Mo had misunderstood, and immediately explained, and didn't this mean that she had sent someone to follow him?

There was a smile on the corner of Chu Mo's mouth, but there was already a chill in his eyes.

"Mother, the child is not interested in Xia Ruoyun at all, and I hope that the mother will not do this kind of thing in the future, and I hope that the mother will not send someone to follow the child in the future, otherwise, the child will not know what to do." Chu Mo still had a smile on his face, but what he said made Concubine Jing unable to laugh.

She understood that Chu Mo was angry.

She finally pulled Chu Mo to grow up, she was afraid of this and that place all day long, this harem is more dangerous than the imperial court, this is a wrong word, if you are not careful, it is to punish the crime or kill the head, and you have to beware of what tricks the sluts in the harem are playing.

Chu Mo has been practicing martial arts with General Xiao since he was a child, and he sent troops to the Northern Desert at the age of fifteen, and this defense is several years.

And in the years since he left, there has been intrigue between the crown prince and other princes, you fight me, I fight you, and in the end, only the prince and the second prince have more power.

And this time Chu Mo was able to come back, because she took a lot of effort to please Emperor Chu, and she could call him back on the grounds that she missed her child, otherwise he would still have to stay in the northern desert as cold as winter and summer.

There is not enough to eat and sleep, and there is no warm clothing, he himself is not distressed, she is distressed as a mother.

How could he not know about her painstaking efforts?

When Chu Mo came back this time, the forces of the DPRK and China had been divided into two forces, and he had already lost to them, so she couldn't wait for Chu Mo to cultivate a relationship with Xia Ruoyun.

She was so kind-hearted, but Chu Mo didn't appreciate it.

She only has such a son, and whether she can inherit the throne in the future depends on him.

"Mo'er, do you understand the situation in the DPRK and China today? Although you are favored by the emperor, it is temporary. Concubine Jing also glanced at Chu Mo deliberately when she said this, and saw that he had a smile on his face but was silent, as if she was listening to her carefully.

Seeing that Chu Mo didn't reply, Concubine Jing continued.

"Last night, the prince asked Xiao Changle to travel with him to the Lantern Festival, this meaning is already obvious, the prince's first consideration is the Xiao family, and if you want to survive in the court, then you must choose one of the two Chen Xia families! You and Yun'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, if you choose her, you have a better chance. Concubine Jing analyzed the current situation for Chu Mo.

Since Chu Mo didn't want to fight, he could only fight for it himself.

She is a woman, she will grow old and die, and the only thing that is not lacking in this harem is women.

She wants to take advantage of the fact that she still has capital to find something for Chu Mo, even if she can't be the emperor of Chu, then she must be a prince who no one else can move!

Originally, Concubine Jing's first consideration was also the Xiao family's daughter, but when she heard so many indecent styles, and recently heard that the Xiao family's daughter was burned and disfigured.

Isn't it a joke if this disfigured woman marries into the door?

And the prince chose Xiao Changle, and the position of the crown princess was in front of her, Xiao Changle naturally chose the prince, so it was most appropriate to choose the Xia family!

When it came to the Xiao family, Chu Mo remembered the heroic Xiao Changge who was riding a horse.

It's just that he has also heard some rumors in the city recently, and it is said that Xiao Changge has been disfigured.

"Mother, this is just what you think, the child doesn't want to fight with the prince." Chu Mo responded.

The hand covered with Danko instantly clenched into a ball, his nails pierced into the palm of his hand, even his face changed, his tone of voice hardened, and his eyes narrowed and looked at Chu Mo in front of him in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

"The child said that he didn't want to compete with the prince for the throne, and hoped that the mother would let the child go, and whoever wanted that position would take it." Chu Mo raised his head, his eyes were serious.

Concubine Jing slapped her hand on the table in front of the couch, and the shock was so great that even the grapes rolled to the ground.

"Mo'er, the concubine is thinking about your future, and if you don't fight, it doesn't mean that those people will let you go! Do you know how much effort the mother has put into climbing this position for today, in order to pave the way for you, and you actually say that you are not interested in this position! ”

Concubine Jing shook her head, and even her tone was a little impulsive.

Sensing her gaffe, she immediately sorted out her mood, but she was very disappointed in Chu Mo.

How many people want to squeeze into that position, but her son is so interested.

She spent so much effort cultivating him, and he said he was not interested!

If it falls into the hands of others, it will definitely agree.

She has been in this palace for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to climb up step by step, how many corpses has she stepped on, and how many sacrifices have she sacrificed to get to this position? Others look at her superficial style, but she must not relax at all.

"Mother, you are just making excuses for your desires, if you really don't want to, you won't choose to enter the palace in the first place." Chu Mo smiled, although this was normal, but it hit Concubine Jing's mind with one word.

"Mother, I am different from you, what you want may not be what the child wants." Chu Mo's eyes looked at Concubine Jing, and he saw that her face was distorted, and she was no longer the same person she was just now.

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Jing asked coldly.

"You should understand what it means, mother." Chu Mo said again, Concubine Jing was almost so angry with Chu Mo.

He had a strong family background but didn't fight for it, and it was in vain that she cultivated it carefully, and he got this answer.

"Mother, the queen is here." A palace maid walked in from outside the hall with her head bowed and bowed her head.

"Queen Mother, what is she doing here? See. Concubine Jing returned to her previous gentle appearance in a blink of an eye, and lowered her head to straighten her clothes.

"The mother and the queen should have something to discuss, and the child will retire first." Chu Mo was waiting for such an opportunity, he didn't want to continue to quarrel with Concubine Jing over this topic, but he was really not interested in the throne, and he didn't want to marry a girl he didn't like as the imperial concubine, that would be bad for him.

So it's best not to continue this topic, if it continues, I'm afraid that his mother will really have to take measures.

He always knew what Concubine Jing was thinking, just to live a better life in the future, but for the sake of his mother's side, but once he really went to fight, if he failed, it was his mother and his own family who would lose.

And if he wins, he has no intention of inheriting the throne.

He thought it would be more suitable for him to fight a war and plan a plan.

"Let's discuss this matter later, you can step back first." Concubine Jing glanced at Chu Mo's eyes, and finally waved her hand to order him to retreat.

And Chu Mo walked in the direction of the back door.

She wanted the queen to come, but she was afraid that she knew that he was here with Concubine Jing, so she came to find him.

This is nothing more than for the prince and to attract power for the prince.

Speaking of this, Chu Mo remembered that he had only gone to see Chu Yu this time, and had never visited the Xiao Mansion yet......
