Chapter 9: The Bloodthirsty King
In order to ensure the safety of the Chu family, Feng Feiyu began to prepare for the soft after Li Xue was taken into the palace, ready to leave Cloud City at any time.
Chenwang's Mansion.
"Yihan, the Queen Mother suddenly wants to marry the eldest lady of the Chu family to you, but isn't it too strange that this eldest lady of the Chu family has already promised to marry the young master of the Feng family in Wancheng?"
"Hmph, her trick is really poisonous, everyone knows that Chu Xiang was my mentor, his daughter, I definitely won't kill him." King Chen glanced at Shangguan Tianyu Dao.
"That's natural, Chu Xiang's family is only left with a lonely widow, if Chu Lishuang really marries, you can better protect them. It's just that Chu Lishuang can agree to marry, and I think there is some threat to her. ”
"Hmm......" Shangguan Tianyu nodded meaningfully. Immediately, he said: "Then what if it is not Chu Lishuang who marries?" ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid that even Chu Lishuang himself doesn't remember, this king has seen her, and if Chu Lishuang is married, he naturally can't deceive this king."
"Have you seen Chu Lishuang? It seems that the Queen Mother miscalculated this move again. Shangguan Tianyu was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
The next day, King Chen sent a housekeeper to the Chu family with a dowry. It is really worthy of the prince marrying a wife, and the dowry is full of ten boxes, a box of gold, silver and jewelry, a box of high-quality cloth, and a large box of various fruits, in short, each box can give people a surprise.
However, at this time, the Chu family was preparing to leave Cloud City, and they were also very surprised by the fact that the prince sent a dowry.
"Mrs. Chu, I am the housekeeper of King Chen's Mansion below, the prince is inspecting the military camp today, and he will come back tomorrow, and all the factions will come down." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Mrs. Chu looked at the big boxes behind her, and said with a displeased face: "This marriage, my old woman knows that His Royal Highness King Chen is unwilling, but after all, this is the marriage given by the Queen Mother, no matter how unhappy the prince is, please also ask the prince to treat my daughter well." ”
Anyway, his deceased husband was once the teacher of His Royal Highness King Chen, and his daughter was about to get married, but on this day of the dowry, the prince didn't take it to heart, and just sent a housekeeper to come, which shows that the prince doesn't care about the daughter of the Chu family at all, so how can she, as a mother, believe that King Chen will treat his daughter well for the sake of the deceased husband.
The housekeeper of this palace is not a dry meal, so he naturally saw her thoughts from Mrs. Chu's face, and immediately said with a smile: "Mrs. Chu, these are the dowry gifts from the prince to the eldest lady, and the prince has explained that after the eldest lady of the Chu family passes the door, the prince will definitely take care of her, and she will definitely not be wronged at all." Please rest assured that Mrs. Chu is here, as for today's inability to come to the dowry in person because of her busy official duties, please also ask Mrs. Chu for your understanding, and when the three dynasties return to the door, they will come again to ask for guilt. ”
This is said beautifully, and it can be regarded as giving the Chu family enough face, even if it used to be the prime minister's mansion, but now it has declined, the other party is the housekeeper of the palace, if he deliberately makes it difficult, it is difficult to ensure that his daughter will not be bullied when she marries in the past, or give the other party a face, and her daughter will marry in the past, and life will be much better.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu pulled her lips and smiled, "The housekeeper is polite, the little girl has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is, so I hope the housekeeper will mention it more." After speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into the butler's hand.
"Mrs. Chu, you don't have to be polite, you should take care of the eldest lady, these silver tickets can't be accepted in the next, after Chu Xiang passed away, the life of the family is also tight, and with the prince in the future, the family will definitely get better." The butler said with a smile.
The housekeeper of this palace is different from the housekeepers of other palaces, he admires Chu Xiang's style, besides, Chu Xiang's life is also lost to protect his own prince, how can he ask for money.
After the housekeeper left, Chu Lishuang and Feng Feiyu walked out from behind the screen.
"Mother, the housekeeper of the Chenwang Mansion came to give a dowry, but my sister has been accepted into the palace by the Queen Mother, so many dowries, what should I do? We're leaving Cloud City this afternoon. ”
"Yes, I'm afraid that the prince sent someone to give a dowry today, and I also want to determine whether the Chu family has taken refuge in the Queen Mother." Mrs. Chu said worriedly.
"Mother-in-law, I don't think so, King Chen's appointment shows that he attaches great importance to this matter, not to mention that his father-in-law used to be his mentor and died because of him. Not to mention Lixue who married in the past, even if she was not married to the daughter of the Chu family, then these dowries are enough to show the sincerity of King Chen. By doing this, King Chen can also paralyze the Queen Mother and make the Queen Mother think that her plan has succeeded. As for Lixue, I think he'll take good care of it. Feng Feiyu said lightly.
The so-called bystander Qing, Feng Feiyu is not unconcerned about Chu Lixue, but he clearly knows that according to Chu Lixue's cleverness and cleverness, there must be a way to make it clear to King Chen, as for the Queen Mother, Lixue is just delaying time with her so that they can leave as soon as possible.
"Feiyu, do you really think that King Chen won't embarrass Lixue?" Mrs. Chu said worriedly. Although Lixue is smart, after all, she is fighting with the queen mother, she doesn't want to suffer the pain of losing her daughter again after being widowed and losing her child......
Mrs. Chu can't afford such a blow anymore......
