Chapter 8 The prince is not favored

It is not a rumor that the Chu family holds the economic lifeline of Dafeng, and almost all the people in the household are in charge of the Chu family, but these two brothers are a little bit unmatched, one is too sleek and sophisticated, and the other is too loyal and upright. Chu Yao, as a member of the clan, cares about his own interests just like those old ministers, while Chu Yi is loyal to the emperor, so the emperor arranges his brothers together, harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they check and balance each other.

Sun De took Chu Yunjing crookedly around the Jiuqu Corridor, and when he came to a place where there were few people, she opened her mouth: "Do you still remember what I told you?" ”

Sun De was wearing a dark brown cardigan, his posture was still slightly arched back, and his subordinates were used to arching his hands before opening, at this moment he slowed down, lowered his eyebrows and looked left and right, and replied after reassuring that no one was relieved: "Miss's matter is naturally taken to heart, His Royal Highness King Qi guards the border all the year round, rarely returns to Beijing, and is a general with great achievements in my great seal." ”

Chu Yunjing was a little impatient when he heard this, the Yuan family had already sent someone to investigate, Sun De was in Kyoto, these princes and princes must know about it, Sun De didn't shake it off last time in Yongzhou, and now that she is back, Sun De still dares not to tell the truth.

She paused and stopped on the porch, unhappy but did not show it, just waiting for what Sun De was going to say next, and stared at Sun De: "What else?" ”

Sun De naturally knew that her young lady was a smart person, she wanted to hear otherwise, and then she didn't sell Guanzi, and replied with a smile: "Beiyue has been convicting me of the three cities in the north for many years, such as today's cold and freezing, Beiyue does not produce food, and it is the season to come to my Dafeng territory to rob and kill, His Royal Highness King Qi is the main general, even if it is a big wedding.... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Beijing, let alone .... When the marriage was given, it was said that King Qi did not have to return to Beijing......"

The more Sun De spoke, the more he lost confidence, cautiously looked at Chu Yunjing's unchanged face, and persuaded him: "Miss, you have to focus on the overall situation!" ”

She was frowning at the moment and pondering the news given by Sun De, and she didn't have time to get angry.

In fact, this is indeed the case, and another sentence was added to King Qi's marriage will, that is, if the border is uneasy, there is no need to return to Beijing, and everyone in Beijing knows that King Qi's wedding is not present in person. This reason really can't be refuted, it is to ask her to sacrifice her ego to fulfill everyone.

She couldn't figure out if she could do this deal, and she was afraid that she would have to pay for herself if she made a mistake, but how could she choose now, even if she didn't want to, she could only marry hard.

"Is King Qi not favored?" Her tone was unpleasant.

There were so many generals in the Manchu Dynasty, but the son of an emperor was the main general, could it be that there was no one in the court, so let the dignified prince take this risk? There is only one possibility, that is, this prince is not favored, so it is not so important whether he is in danger or not for the emperor.

Sun De was surprised that Miss could understand the reason, so she was not playing dumb riddles: "King Qi is the emperor's fifth prince, born to the first queen, the first queen was implicated in the Liguo Gong case, and she couldn't afford to get sick, and she died not long after, leaving the prince and King Qi's mother and brother, but the prince is now seriously ill, and King Qi is far away at the border." The most favored of the prince is King Huai, the only son of the current queen, who is the third among His Majesty's heirs, and now the court is one-sided, openly and secretly supporting King Huai. King Qi has twenty-five years, and he has not seen him for many years, and there are rumors outside that King Qi is too old to marry a wife, so he refers to the young lady. ”

According to this, then she married in the past is just an ornament to block the mouth of the people, she is really not a good father, her son is twenty-five years old and still has no marriage, how can she be worthy of her deceased wife, this is somewhat similar to her father, they are not good fathers who care about their children, Chu Yunjing thought.

This marriage was just sent by the parents of both sides at will, and in the end, the victim was her, who could have been at ease in Yongzhou for a lifetime, but she had to be given marriage, and she had to be locked in the deep house alone, what is the difference between this and her mother, she is a little worried about whether she will go to the end of her mother.

No! A thought flashed in her heart, no matter what, she would not let herself become like her mother, trapped in the deep house and ended up depressed, it was always different, the husband was not there, so she would avoid the embarrassing situation between husband and wife, she could do what she wanted to do without being restrained, if the big palace could restrain her, who else could there be except the prince who could restrain her.

It's just that what she cares about most now is to test Chu Yi and see what role he plays in this marriage, sacrificing his daughter in order to consolidate his position in order to marry with the royal family? She had to figure it out.

Chu Yunjing's face was a little gloomy, and as Sun De led the way, she took another step, she walked all the way and asked questions, there was still too much she wanted to know.

"How does His Royal Highness King Qi look?" Chu Yunjing asked with a little playfulness.

"Yo, that's naturally eight feet tall, powerful, magnificent, dignified, playing a silver dragon spear that is called a world first, just like the heavenly gods descending to earth, if you ride a high-headed horse on the street like this, I don't know how many girls and young women will be fascinated and killed, tsk." Sun De's words were sonorous and powerful, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, as if he was talking about an idol, narrowing a pair of small eyes and recalling.

Chu Yunjing was interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you seen me?" ”

Sun De shook his head with some regret and sighed: "No, but the little ones are telling the truth, and everyone is saying this." King Qi was quite famous when he was young, and at the age of thirteen he went to the paddock to hunt and kill a wolf with his bare hands, which is not a rumor. ”

She nodded and said suspiciously: "According to what you say, such a suave young man, there should be many young ladies from your family who like it, why haven't you married at this age?" ”

She is looking forward to this fiancΓ©, but she doesn't know when she will be able to meet, she is possessive, and she wants to know some emotional things about her fiancΓ©.

At this time, several people had already walked out of the Jiuqu corridor of the Chu Mansion, like a suitably located pavilion in the backyard, Sun De was still leading the way in front, Si Yu and Qian Guanguan lowered their eyebrows and listened to her master ask with interest.

"That's not it, when I was young, I had an unspecified marriage with the third lady of the Zhongshu Ling Du family, it didn't seem to be big at the time, and then Mrs. Du died, Miss Du San wore filial piety for three years, so naturally she couldn't say goodbye, and she saw that the filial piety was about to expire. His Royal Highness King Qi was clamoring to go out with the army, but the saint was not allowed at first, but King Qi knelt for a day and a night, and some ministers persuaded him to exercise for the prince, and the saint was very angry at that time. At that time, Miss Du San was about to commit suicide, and then there was no news after a long time, as if she was married to which state. ”

Sun De said that things were always so colorful, as if he had experienced them.

Naturally, these words cannot be fully believed, most of them are folk versions that add oil and vinegar, and she is filtering useful information along the way.

When he arrived at the pavilion courtyard while speaking, Sun De leaned over and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss, your courtyard has arrived, and this courtyard is specially prepared for you by Mrs. ”

She looked at her yard left and right, although it was not as good as her own small attic in Yuan's mansion, but the specifications of this were not small, she was satisfied, and He Zhouquan would naturally not treat her badly. Seeing her come in, the subordinates who had been waiting early greeted her with a festive face and said compliments.

She stood in the center of the courtyard so dignified, slightly raising her chin, a person with such a pure and small face always had a graceful and atmospheric aura, as if she deserved all this, she smiled: "All rewards." Then he glanced sideways at Sun De and whispered, "You also appreciate." ”

Sun De snorted his big teeth and only thanked him.

As soon as the words fell, Qian Guanguan took out the red bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and each person sent one, and when he arrived at Sun De, the money bag was naturally heavier than the others.

Without waiting for the kneeling person to say something to thank her, she just entered the room steadily, her skirt floated around her waist, and she raised her jade hand and waved it to her ear to signal the person who looked down: "You all stand down, I'm tired." Sun De, you can talk about the rest of the words with Qian Guanguan, and tell me what the situation of this Chu Mansion is now. ”

When the words arrived in the inner room, Sun De really replied with the word "yes", and explained to Qian Guanguan.

Chu Yunjing was already tired, and after finishing the scene, Si Yu entered the house and first went to the cabinet to get the futon and make the bed. She sat on the bed, groping for the hairpin ring on her head, she didn't have any jewelry on her head, only took off a white jade grate and the ruby pearl between the side bun and handed it to Si Yu, and took off a pair of white jade earrings.

At this moment, she took off the restraints, raised her hand and rubbed a handful of lipgrease, leaving a red mark on the back of her white hand, looking at the lipfat on her hand and breathing a long sigh of relief, the vermilion cherry mouth was rubbed off, revealing the original lip color: "This will be the second quarter of the Shen hour, I will sleep for half an hour, you remember to call me, there is still something important to do at night." ”

Regardless of the color on her lips and the winter clothes on her body, she just turned her head down, and Si Yu tucked the brocade quilt for her.

Si Yu probably guessed what the big thing Miss said, it was nothing more than a marriage, and now the most important thing for Miss and her life is this marriage, Chu Yunjing is not a person who goes with the flow, even if she is pushed away, she has a way to turn the headwind into a tailwind, this is her strength, and she never feels sorry for herself.

Si Yu smoked the best soothing incense in the room, and stopped to look at Chu Yunjing's sleeping face before she was willing to leave with confidence.

Qian Guanguan sent Sun De out of the door, turned around and saw Si Yu at the door of the main house, the two glanced at each other, and walked together together, just arrived in Chu Mansion There were many luggage that had not been packed, and the two of them walked together all the way to pack Chu Yunjing's luggage.

Half an hour later, Si Yu gently shook Chu Yunjing: "Half an hour has passed, it's time for you to wake up, there is a word from the main house, and the master is about to arrive home." ”

Her two feather eyelashes stirred up and down, her eyes were a little hazy, she stretched out a hand and fanned outward, Si Yu pulled her up with understanding, and helped her press her shoulder by the way to help her wake up quickly.

She sighed, lifted the brocade quilt and stretched out her feet, walked to the dressing table and sat down, staring at a delicate little face in the bronze mirror, but why did she always have a look of non-anger and self-authority in her eyes, was it the reason why she frowned?

She stretched out her hand and stretched her two thin eyebrows to the sides, still there. The corners of his mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth, how could he still have it.

She didn't bother, she took a lip pencil and smeared it on her lips, and the piece that was rubbed off before going to bed was rubbed evenly in her sleep, so she had to put it back on.
