Since the king of Chu was ordered to clean up the remnants, and finally forced out the "Yinshan lady" of Qijiatang to explain the whereabouts of the princess, whether the princess can return safely and the experience of the rest of the year has become a hot topic in Chuzhou City, although the people do not know much about the "Yinshan lady", but after the public opinion spread intentionally, everyone has a grasp of Qi's actions and character, and the people have indeed not been harassed by the scourge of Qijiatang, and there is a sympathy for a while, and most of them hope that the court can pardon Qijiatang's guilt.

However, for the nobles of Chuzhou, of course, they will not pay attention to the fortunes and misfortunes of the Qi family, since the king of Chu went to the domain, undoubtedly became the highest power in Chuzhou City, for this young prince who was famous when he was a teenager, the nobles were all curious and worshipped, and they continued to send them to the palace, earnestly hoping that the king of Chu would have a good eye, so that the family's status in Chuzhou would be higher.

However, since the king of Chu went to the domain, not to mention that he did not hold a big banquet to get close to the nobles, and even rarely showed up, except for the old friends of the king of Chu, most of the magnates in Chuzhou have never even seen the dignity of the prince.

The whereabouts of the princess are naturally an important matter that everyone is concerned about, when Qi Jiatang came forward, some people even secretly traced the residence of the remnants of this vein, in order to welcome back the princess one step in advance, so as to win the favor of the king of Chu. It's a pity that Qi Jiatang spread the news that the princess was in hand in the market, so he led the crowd to hide, and it was not easy to detect her trace in a short time.

However, the nobles who were motivated to please it also noticed a lot of Qi's past deeds, and indirectly had a group of witnesses who knew that Qi's good righteousness was by no means a crime of deceitful and bullying the people.

Later, when he heard that the maidservant girl who had been taken captive with the princess of Chu had been returned as "evidence" by Qijiatang, the king of Chu immediately asked the court for pardon, and the people were even more concerned, and they were all looking forward to whether the princess could return safely.

Because the simple people firmly believe that Qi Jiatang is a righteous man, and they are not very thorough about the political situation and patriarchal law, no one talks about whether the princess has lost her innocence after falling into the hands of thieves, but the nobles of Quanxun are "complicated" in their thinking, although they are far away from Kyoto, but some families still have children as court officials, and they have heard a little about the Son of Heaven's intention to suppress the Duke of Weiguo, and some speculate that the Son of Heaven may not agree to pardon Qi, which is also reasonable, Qi Jiatang is the remnants of the Eastern Ming Dynasty after all, and the court is bent on purging no one can be said to be ruthless and unjust.

In this way, the princess is very uncomfortable, and the contradiction between the Heavenly Family and the Weiguo Mansion is incompatible, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the attitude of the King of Chu.

I didn't want the court to have a "forgiveness" soon, and before the nobles could analyze the situation, the king of Chu contacted Qi Jiatang vigorously and welcomed the princess back.

The car and the city are boiling.

Before the evening of the day, the nobles handed over posts one after another, expressing their joy and congratulations on the return of the princess.

The men did not pay attention to the "reputation and innocence" of other women, but what they saw was the attitude of the Heavenly Family—although the Son of Heaven was afraid of the Patriotic Mansion, he was also greatly constrained, and this will of forgiveness seemed to be the compromise of the Son of Heaven.

However, the ladies of the back house whispered a little, although they didn't dare to say anything conclusive, but they also had slight doubts - although the head of the Qi family is a woman, it is impossible for the whole gang of grass to be women, who can say clearly whether the princess is lost, don't say that the clan is replaced by an ordinary family, and if something like this happens, even if she can return safely, the woman will rarely be held accountable afterwards, but they all say that the king of Chu has a deep affection for the princess, this time in order to track down the whereabouts of the princess, the actions of the king of Chu are also obvious to all, but it really comes to the point where he doesn't care about the princess being taken captive? Willing to bear the pressure of heaven and the criticism of the world?

These wealthy ladies have been trained by the family court since childhood, and they know that the more powerful the family, the more they pay attention to money and power, for the sake of these two words, not to mention the daughter and wife, that is, the son and the boy will be sacrificed without hesitation once the interests of the family are damaged, in fact, they are not very trustworthy that there is really a man like the king of Chu in the world, for the sake of love and righteousness, he can ignore everything.

Some people even secretly speculated that the attitude of King Chu Chongqian was still somewhat "famous", in order to win the praise of the world for "valuing love and righteousness", maybe he didn't expect the princess to return safely, and the fate and situation of the princess next can really explain the problem.

Some people are secretly sure in their hearts, even if the king of Chu is afraid of people's words and does not take the initiative to abandon his wife, maybe the princess is already frightened and "seriously ill" because of the captivity, but it will not take long for the fragrance to disappear, and it is more likely that under the pressure of the heavenly family, the king of Chu finally compromised on "loyalty and filial piety" and had to stop his wife and marry, of course, it is also possible that the princess consciously and voluntarily pleaded to go to the court, and from then on, the green lantern ancient Buddha only saved her life.

In short, although the magnates sent messages of congratulations, they didn't think that they would get an immediate response from the king of Chu.

However, the palace of the king of Chu announced on the next day, deeply feeling the friendship of the nobles for the return of the princess, in order to thank the nobles, the king of Chu and the princess are scheduled to hold a banquet ten days later, and promise to congratulate the families.

At the same time, the king of Chu will also set up a ten-day puja in the Baiyun Temple on the outskirts of the city to perform good deeds for the people such as almsgiving, life release, and free medical treatment, so as to thank the ancestors of the emperor and heaven for the safe return of the princess.

As soon as this news was announced, the whole city was boiling again, and the nobles were quite surprised that the king of Chu was extraordinarily high-profile, but the common people were full of praise for the festival of alms and free medical treatments.

And on the day of the feast, there was a lot of traffic and guests in front of the palace of the king of Chu.

Chuzhou is far away from Kyoto, the folk customs are more open than Jinyang, and the ordinary nobles did not pay attention to the permanent banquet of men and women, but everyone generally believes that the king of Chu has lived in Beijing for a long time, and his identity is not ordinary, and he should not "follow the customs", but follow the customs of the Kyoto banquet, so they have told the female dependents, do not ask the princess about the experience of being taken captive, and can not show any denigration and contempt - the king of Chu has always acted simply, this time it is so public, it can be seen that the rumors are true, and the king of Chu must love the princess. Whether the princess will be held accountable by the royal family in the future is not a matter of concern to everyone, and at the moment she must be flattered and flattered, and she cannot offend King Chu.

As soon as the guests entered the palace, they were not separated from men and women, but were welcomed to the banquet hall by the master of ceremonies, and everyone realized that the king of Chu was going to bring the princess to the banquet.

On that day, the guests of the banquet witnessed the king of Chu and the princess walking out hand in hand, sitting side by side at the table, and holding up the lamp to answer the guests with a smile.

A majestic and elegant, gentle and elegant, although the majesty is not revealed, but the amazing talent is not to be underestimated, a dignified and elegant, beautiful nature, and the bright eyes between the frequent smiles make people like a spring breeze.

It is difficult for the guests to look elsewhere for a while, as if those piano strings and strings singing, graceful dancing have all been reduced to bleakness, only a couple of couples on the table, sometimes eyes intersect, heart to heart to smile heart to become the focus of attention, people envy.

No one thought that secular etiquette could separate this glorious couple.

No one doubted that the King of Chu was acting coy and saying something wrong, and no one doubted that the down-and-out Princess Chu had suffered unspeakable filth.

Some people are even ashamed of their speculation and suspicions.

And after this banquet, the king of Chu and the princess appeared in the sight of everyone, they sometimes took a ride together and enjoyed the suburbs, hand in hand on the bank of the autumn water, side by side in the red leaves, many tourists and idlers have the honor to meet with it, there are those who are bold to come forward to talk, the king of Chu does not mind, even invited to sit down, talk about the past and the present, exchange scriptures and history, and many of them actually got the tea brewed by the princess herself, flattered.

The king of Chu even took the princess to participate in a tea party held by the scholars, and those scribes who had heard that the king of Chu's qin skills were amazing and had no chance to appreciate it would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and sincerely asked the king of Chu to stroke the qin to help the fun.

Although Yu Feng's talent has long been spread and is like thunder, he has never liked to show off in public, and he has never shown his piano skills at any banquet poetry meeting, and there are only a handful of people who have heard the sound of Sha Tingke's piano, but this time, the king of Chu agreed very happily.

and smiled and invited the princess to play with him.

The scholars present feasted their ears.

This autumn, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner in Chuzhou, many people have personally felt that the King of Chu and his wife really deserve the evaluation of the pearl and jade wall and the match made in heaven, and the rumors are true earlier.

Of course, this is Yu Feng's intention, the return of the beautiful scenery, at least to make the people of Chuzhou firmly believe in Qi's statement, the princess is really unscathed, there is no sense of being insulted, if you want to stop the rumors and unwarranted criticism, then you must first be generous and upright.

The two masters showed their affection in public, and many guards and maidservants said that it was understandable, but what made Guan Suiyuan "panic" when waiting for maids such as Qiushuang and Xia Ke was that even at home, the prince's behavior became more and more red-faced and heartbeat.

Although in Jinyang back then, the prince often visited the garden hand in hand with the princess, and the maidservants were accustomed to it.

At the moment, it is far beyond the level of "hand in hand".

For example, one day, the prince and the princess were sitting in the teahouse reading a book, and the maid was serving tea, when they saw the prince suddenly throw the book, and the person fell on the princess's lap, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap", and put his arm around the princess's waist...... Another example is one day, the couple took advantage of the wind and sunshine, put lunch in a red pavilion that was empty on all sides, after the meal, a bunch of maids were cleaning up the cups and plates, the princess was tasting a bowl of white fungus sweet soup, the prince suddenly stepped forward, kissed the princess in public, and explained with a smile: "The princess was careless, and the sweet soup stained the corners of her lips." ”

The princess was ashamed, and the maidservants were also dumbfounded, but the prince ignored the princess's "anger" and simply hugged someone for a long kiss.

Xia Ke and Qiu Shuang immediately turned their backs, and the poor little maids didn't have such concentration, so they smashed the cups and plates in their hands one after another, and they were a mess.

Yu Feng's abnormality not only overwhelmed the maidservants, but also made Zhenri "scared", almost becoming a thousand miles of avoidance for everyone if the master did not edict, and even Yijing was surprised.

Since returning to Chuzhou, there is no need for Yu Feng to specialize, she also understands that the prince is suddenly keen to "show up" with her, but usually at home, he also insists on being inseparable, even if he meets the staff in the study, he also lets Yijing wait behind the fan, well, Yijing thinks this is not surprising, because once Kyoto's will arrives in Chu and orders them to return to Beijing, they will face unpredictable weather next, let her listen to the various hidden secrets from the staff to be mentally prepared, and she will not be in a hurry to deal with it in the future.

However, in addition to meeting the staff for an hour every day, the prince basically does not leave an inch, no matter how big or small, combing hair, changing clothes, bathing and washing must be done by Yijing himself, and he does not restrain himself in the presence of the maidservants, and often "sneak attacks", and takes a walk in the garden after dinner, regardless of whether everyone is in front of him, it is suddenly a kiss, which really makes Yijing a little overwhelmed.

She was vaguely uneasy.

One morning, she woke up, but saw that the person next to the pillow was short of breath, full of cold sweat, touching the palm but cold, it took a while to wake the person up, and when she looked at her in a trance, there seemed to be pain in her eyes that could not be concealed.

But he quickly came to his senses, put his arms around her, and explained that he was having a nightmare.

Yijing summoned the good doctor and asked Yu Feng about his pulse, but the good doctor said that everything was normal.

But she was just uneasy, because she felt that he seemed to be racing against time to cherish the time with her, and seemed to fear that this time would come to an abrupt end one day.

Sometimes she clearly perceived that his sneaky gaze had a subtle sadness, and when she responded immediately, she could always see him smile softly in time, and it seemed that there was no clue.

She couldn't help but ask many times: "Yuanyang, are you feeling unwell?" ”

He would always kiss back: "I'm fine, beautiful view, I just think time passes too fast, we won't have such idleness soon, don't think nonsense." ”

Even if the Son of Heaven has no intention of making things difficult, he will also send people back to Beijing to ask about the captivity, and then the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess are the elders of Yijing, and they will let Yijing return to Beijing anyway.

If you only go this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Chuzhou.

The private news circulation of the Chu Palace's mansion is all in Guan Sui Yuan's control, and the matter is of course impenetrable, but the love and harmony between the prince and the princess are intentionally spread, which of course makes Qin Ziruo listen to it.

She was secretly jealous in her heart, but she was silent on the surface, because she also understood that the Su family's lightness and happiness would not last long, and the edict of the Son of Heaven would soon arrive in Chuzhou, and then it would be the time to decide the winner.

Until then, she must hold back.

And the good stories about the safe return of the princess of Chu and the love between the husband and wife of the king of Chu are of course also based in Chuzhou and spread everywhere.

His Royal Highness's ears and eyes are easily perceivable.

The news was reported to the Maharaja by Xue Dongchang in horror, and he was very worried that the Maharaja would be furious about it.

But his voice lagged behind, and there was silence.

The Maharaja did not even stop writing, and his attention was still focused on the recital of the imperial examination.

After a long time, he said: "Withdraw the ears and eyes from Chuzhou." ”

"That little lady......"

"Take good care of it, if Princess Donghua wants to visit, don't obstruct it."
