Chu Xi got into the carriage, and the coachman in front of him whipped the horse's buttocks,

Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Zhen Niang in front of her: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Seeing her guarded, Zhen Niang chuckled: "I helped you in the nunnery at the beginning, how can you still treat me as an enemy now?" ”

Chu Xi's expression was faint: "Zhen Niang helped me, did she treat me as a friend?" I will repay you for this kindness, but not now, and I will not grant you any request. ”

Zhen Niang looked at her and leaned back lightly: "You are quite stubborn, just like your mother." ”

Chu Xi frowned: "Do you know my mother?" ”

"Nature." Zhen Niang briefly mentioned it and didn't say more, and she couldn't see any other emotions in her eyes: "I heard that the emperor gave you a marriage, and you are the son of the Lin family, do you know this person?" ”

Chu Xi suddenly remembered the words on the note handed over, and raised her eyes to look at her; "On the surface, he is a nerd who does not learn and has no skills, but in fact he is doing things for the Eighth Prince, such a person is not an ordinary family at all."

Zhen Niang's eyes lit up slightly: "You said that he did things for the Eighth Prince, how did you know?" ”

Chu Xi simply said that the Eighth Prince had forcibly taken him into the mansion and forced Lin Qingyu to come to see him, and his face was a little indignant: "The Eighth Prince is just an empty name." ”

"Oh, that's how you see the Eighth Prince." Zhen Niang smiled: "Don't you ask me the purpose of coming to you today?" ”

Chu Ji raised his eyes to look at her: "No matter what your purpose is, I will not respond to you, as for your kindness, sooner or later I will return it to you." ”

"Really?" The smile on Zhen Niang's face became bigger and bigger: "I didn't see you so interesting on the mountain at the beginning. ”

Chu Ji glanced over: "At that time, I was just a little girl who was thrown on the mountain and no one cared about, but now, I am the eldest daughter of the Chu Mansion, and I am married by the emperor, and I will be the princess of the Anping Hou Mansion in the future, and I can become Mrs. Hou in the future." "As for the purpose of Zhen Niang's coming, Lin Qingyu asked Zheng Yun to bring the note that has been written, firstly, to find out Lin Qingyu's fiction and reality, and secondly, to make himself a pawn of the Easy King. She had already been a pawn in her previous life, so in this life, it was just that, as for the virtual reality

Looking at Chu Xi's slightly proud attitude, Zhen Niang was a little suspicious, looking at her eyes full of yearning: "You seem to like the title of princess very much?" ”

"That's natural, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law trampled me under my feet, and when I became the princess of the world. I think they dare to be disrespectful to me. Chu Xi's fists tightened slightly.

Zhen Niang looked at her and became more and more suspicious: "If you are now asked to be the side concubine of the King of Freedom or the Eighth Prince, are you willing?" ”

"Side concubine?" Chu Xi smiled contemptuously: "The side concubine is just a concubine after all, and the throne will definitely be the eldest prince in the future, why should I let my wife be a concubine?" ”

Jane's smile was a lot colder: "Really? Why don't you ask me what my relationship is with the Eighth Prince and the King of Ease, after all, you saw me come out of Jinghua Tower with their own eyes. ”

Chu Xiwaner: "You also said that I am a smart person, and I won't ask more if I shouldn't ask." ”

"What a smart man." Zhen Niang stopped the carriage, suddenly paused before leaving, and looked back at her with a smile: "Miss Chu, since you are a smart person, then you had better be as smart as you are now, smart to the end, otherwise, the consequences of being smart will be worse than those nuns on the mountain." With that, Zhen Niang left directly with the people in another carriage that came with her.

Green Sandalwood and Green Sprout were stopped behind, and when they saw that the people were gone, they hurriedly followed.

"Miss, are you alright?" Green Bud looked at Chu Ji, whose face was slightly pale, and said.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "Go home." "I don't want to say a word more.

The purpose of Zhen Niang's trip is really to be a lobbyist for King Xiaoyao, and now King Xiaoyao wants to let herself be a chess piece, and she has just behaved like this, even if she doesn't refuse, Zhen Niang will not be happy that King Xiaoyao attaches too much importance to herself, but Zhao Xunyan is scheming, and thoughtful, as soon as he hears it, he will know that he is deliberately angry with Zhen Niang, and it seems that he will be more careful to avoid them in the future.

Chu Xi took out Lin Qingyu's note from his sleeve, looked at the instructions on it, and laughed helplessly, he was an unpredictable prophet, but he was also glad that he was an uncertain prophet.

In the dark alley, Zhao Xunyan stood by the carriage and listened to Zhen Niang's words, Danfeng's eyes were full of interest: "She is actually like this in front of you." ”

"Whether she is like this or intentional, this person cannot be reused, if she must marry the daughter of the Chu Mansion, she will marry the fourth child of the Chu family." The female voice in the carriage said.

Zhao Xunyan's eyes flashed slightly: "Don't worry." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Jane's carriage departed.

The guards on the side hurriedly said: "What does she mean, the master didn't let her leave"

Zhao Xunyan raised his hand to stop his words: "Go, check the fourth young lady of the Chu family." Chu Xi dared to refuse her invitation like this, could it be that she was telling herself that she wanted to be a concubine?

Zhao Xunyan sarcastically hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked into the darkness.

When Chu Ji returned to the Chu Mansion, it was already dark, but the backyard was brightly lit.

Chu Dai'er knelt on the ground and wept to herself: "Please be clear, father, Dai'er usually doesn't go out of the door, how can there be poison hidden in the room." ”

"Since I don't, then you let me go in and have a look." Chu Zhenzhen said on the side, Yan Xue followed behind with her eyes drooping, her fingers twisted together.

Chu Dai'er bit her lip slightly: "Second sister, don't you believe me, you and I walk around with you the most on weekdays, and my mother only went into my room to check this afternoon, and there is nothing abnormal, could it be that poison was found in a while?" Chu Dai'er thought about those things in the room, and she really panicked.

"What do you mean by this, my mother doesn't know poison, so naturally she can't find anything abnormal, what are you deliberately stopping here now, is it true that there is a ghost in your heart who doesn't dare to let us in?" Chu Zhenzhen said sarcastically, but the smile on her face couldn't help it.

"I didn't" Chu Dai'er still wanted to argue, but Chu Bingsong was already impatient: "Okay, what are you arguing about." After that, he looked at the attendant next to him and said, "Don't go in and search yet."

"Wait." Hearing Chu Bingsong's words, Mu Xiang, who was biting his lip on the side, knelt down: "You don't need to go in to check, the poison is under the slave." ”

"What?" Chu Bingsong and Qin Xue exclaimed at the same time, but Chu Zhenzhen glared at her angrily: ", what are you talking nonsense, don't you want to take the blame for your master?" ”

Mu Xiang raised her eyes to look at her: "Second Miss, the master of the slave is you." ”

"Presumptuous!" Chu Zhenzhen looked at Mu Xiang who was staring at her indignantly, and raised her hand to slap again.

Mu Xiang covered her face, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes became more firm, and she kowtowed to Chu Bingsong: "Back to the master, this poison is indeed the slave maid was instructed by the second lady, and then put it in Brother Hong'er's tea, but I didn't know that Mrs. happened to go to see Brother Hong that day, so that the master misunderstood." ”

Chu Bingsong frowned: "What do you mean, Zhen Zhen let you poison you, for what?" ”

"Because the second miss once said that Brother Hong is afraid that he will replace the eldest prince in the future, so she must get rid of it quickly, and she also wants to use this to slander the fourth miss, because the fourth miss steals her limelight everywhere." Mu Xiang said firmly, word by word.

Chu Zhenzhen's face turned pale with anger: "You are full of nonsense, when did I instruct you to drug Brother Hong!" ”

Mu Xiang glared at her: "Miss left and right will not let go of the slave maid, the slave maid will shake out all these things, you abused the old lady sent Sister Chuncao on the mountain before, and wanted her to slander the fourth miss, that night for the sake of insurance, you ordered the slave and maid to drug Brother Hong'er, so that the fourth miss died." ”

"Nonsense, full of nonsense!" Qin Xue scolded.

Mu Xiang looked at Qin Xue as if she had a determination to die: "Madam, you know whether it's true or not, and the slave maid said all this today because the fourth lady is too kind, and the slave and maid have been following her all these days, and you can't let you hurt her anymore." After that, he looked at Chu Bingsong again: "Master." Whether you believe it or not, the life of the slave is out anyway, but the fourth lady is your own flesh and blood, she is wronged, and please let the master know. ”

Chu Bingsong's face was like a dead woody fragrance, and then he looked at Chu Dai'er who was crying silently, and finally turned his head to look at Qin Xue's mother and daughter who were furious, and his heart rushed up in one breath: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen took two steps forward and glared at her as if she was about to eat the fragrance of wood: "You slander your master now, have you considered that your family will also be implicated by you?" ”

As if she had already guessed that Chu Zhenzhen would be such a threat, Mu Xiang sneered: "The slave maid knew that the second lady would not leave the slave maid a way out, and today she has begged the fourth lady to find the old lady and begged them to be released from the mansion with their deed of sale, second miss, you can no longer threaten the slave maid to do something hurtful for you." Mu Xiang wept blood every sentence, his tone was firm, and Chu Bingsong was so angry that his face turned pale. Whether it is Chu Dai'er or Chu Zhenzhen, one of these two must have been poisoned anyway.

Qin Xue saw that Chu Bingsong's expression was getting worse and worse when he looked at him, so he stepped forward and said in a dumb voice: "Master, everything I did was for the good of Chu Mansion, and I never thought about harming anyone, and now that I can speak in Dingguo Mansion, I immediately went to ask for the imperial doctor and silver money, how could I think about harming my son and daughter?" ”

Chu Bingsong frowned, looked at Qin Xue and Chu Zhenzhen, and then looked at Chu Dai'er, even if he was angry, he couldn't say anything in his heart: "Come on, drag me down and beat me to death this cheap maid who provokes right and wrong and poisons the master!" ”

"Yes."

Chu Bingsong's words fell, and the two mothers-in-law immediately came, so they set up a stool in Chu Dai'er's courtyard, tied Mu Xiang to it, and chose a wooden stick with thick arms and began to beat directly.

Listening to Mu Xiang's wail, Chu Zhenzhen looked relieved, but Chu Bingsong just had a gloomy face and looked around at the people in the room: "Today's matter is here, whoever dares to spread half a sentence will be killed directly!" With that, he flicked his sleeve robe and turned his head to go out, and Yanxue hurriedly followed when he saw this.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at Mu Xiang, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and snorted: "Give me a hard beating, and if you are stunned, you will wake up with cold water and continue to fight!" ”

The subordinates hurriedly responded, and Chu Zhenzhen turned her head to look at Chu Dai'er: "My good fourth sister, I didn't expect you to have such a demagogic ability, let Mu Xiang, a cheap maid, willingly send you to death." ”

Chu Dai'er wiped away her tears and looked up at Chu Zhenzhen: "Second sister is so sure that the poison must be in my room?" ”

"Naturally, because the poison is us"

"Vera!" Qin Xue hurriedly stopped her, and then glanced at Chu Dai'er: "Okay Dai'er, you are also frightened, go back and rest first, I see that there is no big girl ring by your side to serve you, and when you go back, your mother will pick one or two smart and sensible ones for you to send over." With that, he turned his head and pulled Chu Zhenzhen away, and Chu Dai'er's eyes instantly became cold.

Raising his eyes to look at the tied Mu Xiang, his expression was indifferent.

Mu Xiang turned her head with difficulty, stretched out her hand towards Chu Dai'er, and shouted for help with difficulty, but Chu Dai'er just glanced at her lightly, turned her head and entered the inner room, and found out the poison that Qin Xue had hidden in her room.

Look at the poison in the palm of your hand. Listening to Mu Xiang's screams, the corners of her lips were coldly hooked: "Don't worry Mu Xiang, I won't let you die in vain." ”

In the Pavilion of Chasing Pavilion, Chu Xi listened to Xiao Fu'er's colorful description, and only sighed lightly in her heart.

Green Sprout advised: "In the future, you must keep an eye on our young lady's room, in case someone else puts these things in." ”

"Don't worry, Miss, I'm familiar with the maids guarding outside the door, and I can feel the bottom of the family clearly, if they dare to harm Miss, I don't think their family can escape.

"You're smart." Lu Tan nodded Xiao Fu'er's head and smiled.

Xiao Fu'er smiled, looked at Chu Xi holding the tea and didn't know what she was thinking, and asked, "Miss, do you want the slave to go to the kitchen to get you some food, I heard Sister Luya say that I can't eat anything well today." ”

Chu Xi smiled and bowed her head, and when Xiao Fu'er left, Chun Zhi stepped forward and said: "The slave maid went to the old lady's yard today, and I heard the people below say that the old lady can already walk around the ground." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head: "You're tired today, go down and rest early." ”

Chunzhi looked at the smile on Chu Xi's face, pursed her lips slightly, and bowed before retreating.

Chu Ji looked at the back of Chunzhi leaving. Only then was she slightly worried, since the old lady was already able to walk around on the ground, but she didn't care about Chu Dai'er's matter, it seemed that she didn't want to take the power of the family from Qin Xue for the time being, and the reason why Chu Dai'er was targeted by Qin Xue's mother and daughter was probably because of the dowry silver, could it be that the old lady did it on purpose, she guessed that she would make a move, and she also guessed that Qin Xue's mother and daughter would definitely not tolerate Chu Dai'er, could it be that she wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, this time she was calculated by her.

"Green Sprouts, tell me to go down, just say that I went out today to catch the wind and cold, and I can't move while lying in bed." Chu Ji commanded.

Although I didn't know what Chu Ji meant, Green Sprout still hurried out.

"What do you mean, Miss?" Green sandalwood was puzzled.

Chu Xi lightly put down the tea cup in her hand: "This time we were all calculated by the old lady. ”

Lu Tan was a little surprised, and immediately sighed: "Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old saying is honest and doesn't deceive me." After speaking, his mind flashed: "I understand what Miss means, the old lady wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, you are taking yourself out." ”

Chu Xi smiled helplessly: "There is no other way." "The old lady wants to sit and collect the power of the fisherman. Control everyone in the palm of her hand, then let her muddy water in Chu Mansion first muddy the water.

It seemed that the snow had fallen a little heavier that night, and the shops on the street had closed early, except for the warm Goolan wine shop or the teahouse stall of the storyteller, which was still crowded. The rich and noble all go to those high-end Goolan wine shops, and there are also small teahouses and broken taverns with shy pockets, a plate of peanuts and a plate of pickles, accompanied by a pot of wine and a cup of tea, four or five people around a table, that is lively and happy.

"Hey, haven't you heard, Yan Mansion held a poetry meeting today, and I heard that the eldest prince almost cut off the head of the grandson of Yang Mansion."

"Yo, it's so dangerous, could it be because" The man who spoke was silent, and looked at the crowd meaningfully.

"You can't talk nonsense, the Yang family has made great achievements in war, and they are the great heroes of our dynasty, and the eldest prince will be the one who will ascend to a high position in the future. How can they kill innocents indiscriminately? "There are people involved, this royal secret is the most exciting, and it is the most pastime to talk about after tea and dinner.

"It's not nonsense." The person who just started to say said mysteriously: "This is what the cousin of the Yan Mansion said herself, the brother-in-law of my aunt's niece is a servant in the Yan family, and Miss Yun said that she heard the eldest prince angry at the foot of the mountain, but fortunately she went up the mountain in time, otherwise I don't know what would happen." ”

Such words spread very quickly, and when the eldest prince Zhao You woke up the next day, the words had already reached his ears.

"Who dares to spread rumors like this, where am I going to kill the grandson of Yan Mansion!" Zhao You was so angry that he couldn't eat, so he rushed directly to Yan's mansion.

Yun Songyi cried miserably: "I only said that the eldest prince was angry with him, when did he say that the eldest prince was going to kill someone, how could the eldest prince come to scold me when he listened to the rumors!" ”

Zhao You watched her cry like this, and raised his hand to whip him, but Old Master Yan stood in front of Yun Songyi in one step and arched his hand towards Zhao You: "The eldest prince, Yi'er is telling the truth, and the person who spreads the rumor is a person with a heart, so the eldest prince might as well go and check the person who spread the rumor earlier." ”

Looking at Elder Yan who was so protective of his shortcomings, Zhao You was so angry that he was so angry. looked at Yun Songyi: "Don't you know that this can't be spread out!" ”

Facing the furious Zhao You, Yun Songyi panicked, remembered Chu Xi's words, and mustered up the courage to raise her eyes and stare at him: "I have a daughter's family, and I usually embroider and embroider, how did I know that this word can't be spread out, Your Highness, if you told me to the city at that time, I would definitely not say it." ”

"You!" Zhao You was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and when he thought that this woman was going to marry him as a concubine, he was even more angry and dizzy: "The Yan family has so many officials in the court, how can you be born to be so stupid" Zhao You said halfway, looked at Boss Yan's face, and took a deep breath: "Elder Yan, I don't want to worry about this little woman in your family, but this matter is spread from the Yan Mansion, you can watch and do it." ”

"It's not because the eldest prince himself has to" Yun Songyi muttered in a low voice, Zhao You was so angry that her brain hurt, if she really married to the eldest prince's mansion in the future, she wouldn't make a fuss, and the most important thing was that this Yan Lao Da still protected her like this.

"The eldest prince can rest assured. The old minister must be strictly disciplined. Elder Yan hurried to say before Zhao You lost his temper.

Seeing this, Zhao You didn't know what to say, so he had to snort, looked at Yun Songyi, who was crying and crying, and left angrily.

When it was confirmed that Zhao You was really gone, Yun Songyi sat directly on the ground with weak feet: "I'm scared to death." ”

Looking at Yun Songyi, who was scared, Master Yan didn't know what kind of ghost she was thinking: "Give me to the ancestral hall and kneel!" ”

Mrs. Yun's eyes were red: "Dad"

"It's all what you are used to, let Yi'er obediently kneel in the ancestral hall for me for three days and reflect on it." With that, he walked away.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Yun Songyi's lips, kneeling for three days is better than marrying the eldest prince and others. But Sister Ji'er is really smart, how could she have guessed that the eldest prince would rush over early in the morning, but fortunately she came to her grandfather's study early.

Mrs. Yun looked at Yun Songyi secretly laughing, and shook her head helplessly: "Did you teach you?" ”

Yun Songyi was stunned, and took her skirt to the outer robe: "I'm going to kneel in the ancestral hall!" ”

Mrs. Yun shook her head helplessly, but when she thought of Chu Xi, she smiled again, with her help, she was not so worried about Yi'er, but I heard that she seemed to be sick.

"Come on, go prepare the carriage, I'm going to Yunfu."

At this time, in the Yang Mansion, Yang Ci knelt on the ground, and there was an old man with gray hair and a cold face sitting in the first seat, and a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi was on the side, his face looked quite peaceful, and he could still see the sharpness of the battlefield between his eyebrows.

"Tell me what happened yesterday!" Old General Yang said coldly, he also heard the rumors outside early in the morning to know that such a thing happened yesterday.

Yang Ci didn't hide it, and 1510 told him about the dispute with the eldest prince on the mountain yesterday.

When General Yang heard this, he was so angry that he only slapped the table: "Confused, confused!" If you had had had a dispute yesterday, you would have been in prison by now! Although General Yang disdains to be involved in officialdom battles, he has been an official for decades, and how can he not know these twists and turns in the officialdom.

"Fortunately, Ying'er had an accident, which just interrupted my dispute with the eldest prince." Yang Ci said, remembering the big red voice, and pursed his lips slightly.

Looking at Yang Ci, who was a little distracted, Yang Qianxiu on the side chuckled and said, "Ying'er, this matter is just right." ”

"Well, and my grandson thinks that she may have arranged this on purpose, and it happened to save my life." Yang regained his senses.

"She? Ying'er? Yang Qianxiu continued, Ying'er is reckless and impulsive, but she doesn't seem to be a person with such exquisite thoughts.

Yang Ci hurriedly shook his head: "It's not Ying'er, it's Chu Xi, the eldest lady of the Chu family, and the only daughter of my aunt." ”

Yang Qianxiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to see General Yang, who had a cold face and did not speak, but did not stop Yang Ci from continuing.

Yang Ci understood and smiled slightly: "This cousin is really a seven-trick exquisite heart, she not only saved me, but also said another thing." Yang Ci pointed Chu Ji to him again, and said word for word about the relief of the victims in the heavy snow, Yang Qianxiu's eyes became brighter and brighter: "She is hardworking, and she reminds you every sentence, but it took you half a day to react." ”

Yang Ci scratched his head a little shyly: "I can't catch her." ”

"Hmph." Old General Yang snorted: "She knows to protect herself, but I'm afraid she also learned from her father, if this really happens in March, even if the result is really as she said, I will save those homeless people." With that, he got up angrily and left.

Yang Ci frowned and glanced at Yang Qianxiu: "Third uncle, this"

"Your grandfather knows what he knows, so you don't have to worry. Not to mention the possibility that the heavy snow in March will not stop happening, even if it does happen, the result may not be as bad as she said. Yang Qian cultivated.

Yang Ci sighed: "Grandfather still refuses to forgive my aunt?" "The Yang family has a daughter called an aunt in this generation, and she has cut off relations with the Yang Mansion since she married Chu Bingsong, but after so many years, my grandfather said on his face that he never wanted to recognize this daughter again, but how could he not want to recognize it in his heart, why did he not want to see it. But it wasn't until my aunt died young and early that she completely hated Chu Mansion, and even her cousin.

Yang Qianxiu shook his head slightly: "That's it, you don't have to mention this matter in front of your grandfather again." With that, he pushed the wheelchair and left.

Yang Ying had been standing outside, and when she heard the conversation inside, she sneered and walked in from outside: "Brother quit." Look at you, because of a few crazy words from her, she was scolded. ”

Yang Ci glanced at Yang Ying, turned his head and left, Yang Ying jumped to his feet angrily: "I'm also your cousin, why don't you look at me with your eyes!" Yang Ying deliberately changed into a red dress today, but Yang Ci not only did not have the obsession to see Chu Xi that day, but also refused to look at himself with a straight eye, jealousy gradually rose, and his silver teeth were bitten: "Chu Xi, you wait for me!" ”

In the Chu Mansion, Chu Xi listened to the news from Lu Tan and chuckled: "Are you sure it's someone from the Eighth Prince's Mansion?" ”

Lu Tan bowed: "I know that person, when you asked me to deliver a letter to the Eighth Prince that day, he was guarding in front of the Eighth Prince's Mansion." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi bowed her head, she didn't let Lu Tan hide her traces that day, she just wanted to let the Eighth Prince know that she was indeed on his side, so that the Eighth Prince would be willing to raise his noble hand, and maybe he could help her do something. For example, today's events.

"You said that the Eighth Prince's trick is ruthless enough, and he directly let people go around to promote the good things that Chu Qitai did, and now the case of Chu Qitai kicking Jing Zhaoyin's son to death has been suppressed, and Jing Zhaoyin is probably holding back the fire in his heart, this is good, everyone knows it, those princes and princes have no way to do anything if they want to, Jing Zhaoyin will definitely not let go of this bastard this time." Green Sandalwood smiled.

Chu Xi smiled, although the Eighth Prince has never been accustomed to these unruly conspiracies, but now that he is willing to give it a try, he has tasted the sweetness, and he should not be so stubborn in the future.

"Okay, don't mention this matter in the future." Chu Ji admonished.

Green sandalwood bowed: "Don't worry, the slave is a sealed vase, and he doesn't say a word." ”

Looking at the green sandalwood with bared teeth, Chu Xi smiled, and then heard the voice of the green shoots outside: "Girl, Mrs. Yun is here." ”

"Mrs. Yun? Miss Yi'er's mother? Midori asked.

Green Bud bowed his head and walked in from outside: "I said that I knew that Miss was sick." I came here on purpose, I went to the old lady's place now, and I will come over in a while. ”

"Let's get ready." Chu Xi put down the book she was looking at in her hand, walked down from the warm couch, untied the fur cloak on her body, and got into the quilt wearing only a pair of underwear.

Green Sprout laughed: "But I wronged our young lady." ”

Looking at the joking green shoots, Chu Xi raised the corners of her lips: "Go and wait." ”

"Okay." Green Sprout happily responded, leaving only Green Sandalwood in the house: "What else does Miss have to order?" ”

Chu Xi's eyes dimmed slightly: "Go and keep an eye on the movement over there at the yamen, and report any abnormal movements at any time." ”

"Yes." Green Sandalwood retreated, and Mrs. Yun came over after a while.

When Mrs. Yun saw Chu Xi's pale face, she hurriedly stepped forward anxiously: "What's the matter, why is she suddenly so sick?" ”

Chu Xi opened her eyes and looked at her, and asked in a low voice, "What about Yi'er?" ”

Mrs. Yun looked at Chu Xi's worried eyes and chuckled: "Don't worry, she is now being punished by her grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xi knew that she was fine, and her heart was a little relieved: "I still bother you to come here on purpose, it is also a minor illness, I am afraid that I will be greedy for cold after returning home yesterday, and I will play outside for a while." ”

"You're like a child. Also playing in the snow. Mrs. Yun doted on her forehead: "But you have promised a good family, just now I came, I saw Mrs. Hou bring a big box of things, I came before her, she should come in a while." ”

"Mrs. Hou!" Chu Xi suddenly clenched her fists nervously, how could she have a nervous feeling that her ugly daughter-in-law wanted to see her in-laws.

Seeing that she was nervous, Mrs. Yun laughed, held her hand outside, and was surprised: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

"I've been like this since I was a kid." Chu Ji said, in fact, no, since she was reborn, her hands have not been warm.

"Hey, this is qi deficiency and body cold, I'll ask someone to send some ginseng when I go back, you usually move more, bask in the sun more, and drive away the cold." Mrs. Yun said distressedly, and before she finished speaking, a heart-wrenching laughter came from outside: "How can I let you break the bank, I'll let Qingyu send it when I go back." The custodian concubine ate for nothing. ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman walked in outside, and the green sprouts were full of panic, she wanted to pass through, but before she could turn around, Mrs. Hou ran in by herself.

"Miss, Mrs. Hou, she" Lu Ya wanted to explain, but before she finished speaking, Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "Don't blame this girl, it's me who is in a hurry, and she takes big steps, and she walks in in three or two steps, and she doesn't keep up." ”

Chu Xi looked at the Mrs. Hou in front of her, her eyebrows were clear, her facial features could be seen with only light makeup on her face, her eyes were big and bright, and she looked like a fox when she squinted, which was very similar to Lin Qingyu. The smile on his face is peaceful and warm, and he is wearing a low-key dark silk skirt, standing there lightly, you can see the wealth and heroism on his body.

"Mrs. Hou" Chu Xi sat up with support, and Mrs. Hou also looked Chu Xi up and down: "Lie down." Don't freeze again. Mrs. Hou said busily, looking at the furnishings in the house, simple and generous, without the slightest flashy furnishings, only a pot-bellied porcelain vase was placed in front of the window, and there were three or two plum blossoms in just bloom in it. There was no incense in the house, and as soon as you entered, you could smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms. No wonder Qingyu likes it so much, it is indeed different from ordinary ladies.

Chu Xi asked people to sit on the edge of the bed, lowering her eyebrows and thinking about what to say, but Mrs. Hou thought she was shy, sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, and took her hand: "I heard that you are sick, that kid in my family is in a hurry, let me come here to live." ”

Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly, he should know that he was pretending.

Chu Xi blinked and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Hou, but when she saw her staring at her with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but panic.

Mrs. Yun saw Chu Xi's restraint and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Hou, you are so anxious to come over to see your daughter-in-law. Do you really know about it? ”

Mrs. Hou's face was stunned, and she smiled hurriedly: "I know, of course I know." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, Mrs. Yun laughed wildly, and several people pulled Chu Xi to talk, Mrs. Hou asked Chu Xi about her birthday, without mentioning her biological mother and maternal grandfather's house, and asked people to move a box of gifts she prepared into the house: "There are some gadgets here, you just play with them, and I'll send you some later." ”

When Mrs. Hou left, Chu Xi knew that the gadgets she said were all rare objects, including blood jade Ruyi, high-grade cat's eye spars, and the whole set of jade heads and gem heads, not to mention the whole set of jade heads and gem heads, even the pearls in that small box were better than the largest one on the ordinary Miss pearl hairpin, and Chun Zhi, who had seen a lot of treasures, couldn't close his mouth in shock: "This heavy box of gems and beads is all for Miss?" ”

Chu Xi was also a little stunned, Mrs. Hou had prepared too much for this gift, these can be worthy of the dowry money that the old lady has saved for so many years.

"Doesn't everyone outside know about it?" Chu Ji said.

Green Sprout bowed: "When Mrs. Hou asked people to carry it in." And all the people in the house saw it. ”

Chu Xi had a little headache, and now the old lady and Qin Xue were afraid that they would blush.

"That's it, spring branches and green shoots, you take stock first, and then put them away." Chu Ji said.

Chunzhi looked at Chu Ji with some concern: "Miss, now the house needs some money, will the eldest lady not?"

Chu Xi chuckled helplessly: "The soldiers are coming to block, you put away the things first." ”

"Yes."

Chunzhi and Luya retreated, and Chu Xi got up from the bed, thinking of Mrs. Hou who had a warm expression just now, and suddenly, she had some expectations for the days from now.

The heavy snow fell for two days in a row before it stopped, but Yun Songyi was also released, and as soon as he came out, he came to pick up Chu Xi, saying that he was going to Ruyi Fang to buy a good set of clothes and jewelry to go to bad luck, and then went to Jinghua Building to eat a special meal to celebrate, Chu Xi also happened to want to go out for a walk, so he responded.

Chu Qitai's verdict in the past two days is also about to come down, and the Chu Mansion family is in a hurry, and she has no time to care where Chu Ji goes, so she left the house very easily.

"Sister Ji'er." Yun Songyi is wrapped in a pear blossom white fur-edged cloak today, wearing a goose-yellow long skirt, a topaz pendant around her waist, combing a hanging bun, picking out a strand of hair from each side of her forehead and holding it back with steps, green silk hanging down her ears, and light-colored silk flowers and pearl hairpins on her head, which looks lively and cute, and has a girlish aura.

Chu Xi stepped forward and smiled: "Why do you want to go out to celebrate?" ”

"It's so boring at home, my brothers and sisters talk about poetry all day long, or it's piano and chess, but it's boring." Yun Songyi pouted and muttered.

Chu Xi chuckled and got into the carriage with her before saying, "The eldest prince didn't do anything to you that day." ”

"Haha, you don't know that his face is green." Yun Songyi smiled: "By the way, there is one more thing to come out today." Yun Songyi said and took out a letter from his sleeve: "I know I shouldn't show you this, but he said that he must reply to the letter before he is willing to die, so" Yun Songyi bit his lip slightly and looked at Chu Xi apologetically.

Chu Xi looked at the handwriting on the envelope, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "How is your relationship with your cousin?" ”

"Normally, he doesn't usually get close to our sisters, and he is dedicated to studying." Yun Song Yi Dao.

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth raised slightly: "That's easy." Chu Xi took the envelope, didn't look at it, and tore it in half: "If you take it to him, tell him that I have been married by the emperor, and I feel the emperor's grace and don't dare to think about anything else." "Yan Jifu of the Yun family has really read too many dead books, and he is always unable to carry it clearly, and now that he is brought out of the emperor, he should be able to break his mind.

Yun Songyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll tell him what you said when I go back." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi bowed lightly, lifted the curtain to look at the street, there was a thick snow on both sides of the street, and now the snow does not stop, so it can't be cleaned up, and occasionally you can see naughty children laughing around, and then they slid to the ground and cried, and the women nearby came with anxious faces, scolding and comforting in distress.

Chu Xi looked at it, the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile, and when she came back to her senses, the carriage had already arrived at Ruyi Fang.

There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry on display in the lobby on the first floor of Ruyi Fang, all kinds of materials and styles, and the appearance is the most fashionable.

"Look at that agate bracelet, it's so beautiful, I'm going to buy it for my mother!" Yun Songyi took a fancy to one of the bracelets inside, pulled Chu Xi and ran over with a smile, but he didn't want to be taken away by someone first.

As soon as Yun Songyi raised his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but darken his face, and turned his head to leave, but he heard the person behind him: "A tattered bracelet, buy it and go back to the old woman who guards the door at the gate of my courtyard to wear it." ”

Yun Songyi was annoyed when she heard it: "Yun Songyue, don't deceive people too much!" ”

Chu Xi looked at Yang Ying, who was standing next to Yun Songyue full of hostility, and her head hurt even more.

"Too much deception? Who am I bullying? Yun Songyue looked at her sarcastically, caught a glimpse of Chu Xi on the side, and became more and more dissatisfied: "Yo, isn't this the future princess, why did she come out and show up, and you don't have to embroider a wedding dress at home?" ”

Chu Ji's eyebrows were slightly raised. I didn't plan to argue with her here: "Yi'er, let's go upstairs." ”

"What is Miss Chu doing so fast?" Yang Ying dodged to block the way of several people, and looked at Chu Xi, she didn't have the girl who threw herself into the water before, she felt a little more at ease, looked at her and said sarcastically: "Where are you going to see the princess?" ”

"I don't look at my own goods, I just want to cling to Lin Shizi." Yun Songyue said disdainfully, thinking of Lin Qingyu, there was a burst of jealousy in her heart: "You, let's go back and embroider your wedding dress." Oh yes, you've lived in a nunnery for three years, and I don't know if you'll be able to embroider flowers, or if you can embroider finches into toads. Before Yun Songyue's words fell, the people around her covered their lips and laughed.

Yun Songyi's face turned red with anger: "It's me who embroidered the finch into a toad, what are you doing slandering Sister Xi'er!" ”

"Yo, it turned out to be you, Mrs. Yun taught you just right, knitting women are not popular, but I don't know which son will be lucky enough to marry his sister in the future." Yun Songyue is getting more and more energetic.

Yun Songyi couldn't wait to raise his foot and kick her. But he was pulled by Chu Xi: "Forgot what I told you?" ”

Yun Songyi was stunned for a moment, then took a breath to suppress the anger in his stomach, and looked at Yun Songyue with a smile: "I don't fight with you, there is an old saying, fighting with a gentleman is endless; Fight with villains, idle and panic. After that, he turned his head and pulled Chu Xi to leave, but Yang Ying blocked straight in front of him: "The princess, we respect you as the princess, you really put up a score, and you won't talk to us?" ”

Looking at Yang Ying, who was deliberately provoking trouble, Chu Xi frowned slightly, but suddenly heard a cold voice from upstairs: "The future princess of Anping Hou, what's wrong with the score?" ”

Chu Xi was slightly stunned, why is he here?

Yang Ying was stunned and said angrily: "Miss Chu is not embroidering wedding dresses at home now, and she comes out to hang around, Lin Shizi is really a blessing." ”

Lin Qingyu slowly walked down the stairs, and his cold gaze met Chu Xi. became warm: "My princess, do you still embroider your own wedding dress?" ”

"This is the rule" Yang Ying still wanted to refute, but Mei Niang on the side walked down with a smile and saluted Chu Xi: "Miss Chu, I have arranged for the best eighteen embroiderers in Ruyi Fang to sew your wedding dress for you, and the appearance has been painted twenty-eight, if you are free in a while, please take a look and choose and choose." ”

Everyone was stunned, the best eighteen embroiderers in Ruyi Fang came to do it together, and also drew twenty-eight embroidery patterns for Chu Xi to choose, I am afraid that no princess has this treatment.

Chu Ji looked at Lin Qingyu and blinked: "Okay." ”

Yun Songyue stood behind, looking at the man standing on the side of the stairs dressed in white Sheng Xue, wearing a silver mask that still couldn't hide his stunning beauty, and bit her lip stubbornly: "Lin Shizi, did you come here to wait for Miss Chu on purpose?" ”

Yun Songyue's words were asked viciously, how could there be a private meeting for a married man and woman.

Yun Songyi was so angry that she wanted to go back and slap her, but she heard Lin Qingyu say, "It's just fate." ”

The girls below were red-faced when they heard this, although their faces were shy, but they thought in their hearts that if their husbands could say this to them in the future. That's not to die sweetly.

Lin Qingyu walked down the stairs, his steps were extremely light and slow, Chu Xi knew that his injury was not healed, too, how could such a serious injury be said to be good.

"Since everyone is here, this is not a private meeting." Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, walked up to Chu Xi, and only looked at the person in front of him. She was wearing the clothes she had sent, white, with the same embroidered patterns as on her clothes: "I heard that you are sick, I asked my mother to see you, but it is not good to ask her to see you every day, are you okay now?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji didn't know how to deal with such a strong affection, but Lin Qingyu was deliberately angry with Yunyun Songyue and Yang Ying.

"That's good." Lin Qingyu bowed his head lightly: "If you feel uncomfortable again, send a letter to the Hou Mansion, my mother likes you, and I will definitely be reluctant to let you suffer." Lin Qingyu had no choice but to take Mrs. Hou's name, and the young ladies around him couldn't hear the meaning of the words. Looking at Chu Xi's eyes suddenly full of envy and jealousy, Yun Songyue was even more crazy, straightened the bun next to her ear, sorted out her emotions and stepped forward with a smile: "Yue'er has seen Lin Shizi, we have seen it in Yunfu before"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost weight." Lin Qingyu didn't seem to hear Yun Songyue's words, and looked at Chu Ji distressedly: "Go upstairs and go around, just take whatever you like, Miss Yun is the same, in the future, all the things you take in Ruyifang will be recorded in the Hou Mansion's account." ”

Yun Songyue thought that she was talking about herself, so she looked up in surprise, and heard Yun Songyi say happily: "Thank you Lin Shizi!" ”

Lin Qingyu coughed lightly twice, and Lin Fu hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, it's time to go." ”

Lin Qingyu nodded and looked at Chu Ji with a smile: "If anyone is disrespectful to you again, send a letter to the Hou Mansion." ”

Chu Ji looked at Lin Qingyu, and felt that what he said was vulgar, but his heart was warm, and he responded coldly: "Hmm." ”

Seeing Lin Qingyu leave, Yun Songyi rubbed his face: "Oh my God, Sister Ji'er, it's good that the Anping Marquis Mansion only marries one wife, otherwise I'm afraid that the wall will have to be overturned." ”

Yun Songyi's face was flushed when she said this, she stared at Chu Xi hatefully, and then looked at Yun Songyi who was grimacing on the side, turned her head and ran out.

Yang Ying still wanted to come up and say something, but Lu Ya finally stood up after holding back for a long time: "Miss Yang seems to want to see Lin Shizi again?" ”

"Don't threaten me with him." Looking at the mocking eyes around him, he snorted and left angrily.

Chu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, Yun Songyi pulled her and smiled: "Let's go, go upstairs, I have to pick a good hahaha!" ”

"I'll go with you." A soft voice came, Chu Xi frowned slightly, and turned her head to see Jiang Fan, the side concubine of the Eighth Prince, who was a little haggard.
