Chapter 254: Kefu
After Chu Zhong's introduction, Chen Chao was a little excited, and couldn't wait to communicate with this well-rounded eldest princess all night to see if she was really as powerful as Chu Zhong said.
After the introduction, Chu Zhong had a dry mouth and took a sip of tea.
Fu suddenly said, "Although my eldest niece is talented, she just has a shortcoming. ”
"What are the drawbacks?" Chen Chao asked casually.
"Kefu!"
Hearing this, Chen Chao was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
What?
Gram, Kefu?
Chen Chao stammered.
She's been married!
It's a widow!
Sensing the stunned and shocked expression on Chen Chao's face, Chu Zhong carefully put down the teacup, and then said cautiously: "Actually, it's just a few deaths, no more, no more." ”
What?
How many?
This eldest princess has been married to more than one person?
Even Chen Chao himself didn't notice that his voice involuntarily raised a few tones, and he was very shocked.
"How many? How many exactly? ”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chu Zhong scratched his brows, stretched out three fingers, and said with some embarrassment, "Three, just three......"
Whew-
Chen Chao exhaled a turbid breath.
Now his mood cannot be described in words.
At first, I was curious, curious about what this powerful eldest princess was like? After all, excellent women have their own light, attracting men all the time, and Chen Chao is also a man......
But when he learned that she had married three husbands, Chen Chao was shocked, and then became angry.
Chen Chao couldn't help but say angrily: "When you marry the eldest princess, which prince of my dynasty is planning to kill?" ”
At present, there are only two people in Daji who can marry this eldest princess, the second prince in the frontier, and Li Wei, the king of Guangling in the capital.
No matter who is killed, it will be a huge loss to the royal Li family.
Chu Zhong had long expected that after he finished speaking, Chen Chao would be like this, but fortunately, he had already prepared.
Coughing pretendedly, Chu Zhong said, "The prime minister is angry, angry...... Listen to me first, the battle of Yunzhou was caused by my Chu State's strategic decision-making mistakes, and it was caused by mishearing the villain's slander, which hurt the friendship between the two countries, and it really shouldn't be. For this reason, the emperor of our country learned from the pain, and in order to restore the friendship between the two countries, he decided to marry the eldest princess of our country to the prince of your country to apologize. ”
"Kefu, it's just a folk rumor, in fact, the three concubines are to blame, the eldest princess has a good life......"
Only by believing in you can there be ghosts, and three people have been killed...... Chen Chao complained in his heart.
One or two can still be understood, but three of them were killed in succession, and Chen Chao didn't even have the mind to be a thief.
Chu Zhong secretly observed Chen Chao's face and pursed his lips, now he regretted saying so much to Chen Chao, at first, he didn't understand what his eldest brother Chu Huang was thinking in his head, why did he marry the eldest princess? Obviously, there are so many princesses in the country, and they are not favored to marry one casually, and they will marry some dowry, and they will return to China in exchange for Chu Yan.
Thinking about it carefully in the past few days, Chu Zhong probably understood why Emperor Chu did this.
From the perspective of Emperor Chu:
The eldest princess is too dazzling among the princes and princesses, and she can compare with other princes and princesses in any aspect.
After a long time, who can tolerate her?
And the eldest princess has always been disobedient, even the Chu Emperor is difficult to restrain her, after a hundred years of the Chu Emperor, who dares to guarantee that the eldest princess with strength and means has no intention of controlling the government?
From the Emperor of Chu to the princes, they are all afraid of the eldest princess!
Therefore, when Daji proposed to marry the princess of Chu, Emperor Chu and his sons hit it off.
Send the eldest princess to get married!
Of course, this kind of thing...... Emperor Chu is willing to kill the prince of Daji with the eldest princess, and the more she dies, the better.
"If your country has any opinions, please put them forward and do as much as you can." Chu Zhong rubbed his hands and said.
Chen Chao poured himself full of tea, to be honest, he was very dissatisfied with Chu Guo marrying a widow, didn't he know if he was slapping Daji's face?
In this era, marriage pays attention to the right family, and pays more attention to innocence.
What is it for a widow to marry?
But Chen Chao also knew that this was the result of careful consideration by Emperor Chu, and Daji had to ask for it, or not...... Leave this problem to Emperor Yongxing and those ministers to argue, and he will not participate.
Seeing that Chen Chao was pondering and didn't speak, Chu Zhong tried to say: "Actually, in the past two years, I have often corresponded with my eldest niece, and most of the letters are commonplace, but there are several times when the prime minister is mentioned, and the reply letter from the eldest niece to me has a lot of ...... about the prime minister Adoration! ”
"My eldest niece has never taken anyone into account, except for the prime minister."
"Don't say that again." Chen Chao's face was not good, and he lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, "It's not early, His Royal Highness King Qi should go back." ”
Chu Zhong wanted to say something, but Chen Chao gave the order to evict the guests, he stood up, leaned over, and slowly exited the house.
After Chu Zhong left, Chen Chao's gaze fell on the private letter on the table.
What did Emperor Chu write to himself?
engaged in mystery, and specially sent Chu Zhong to send it personally.
Curious, Chen Chao picked up the letter, tore open the envelope, and poured out a thin piece of stationery inside.
Unfold slowly.
Chen Chao frowned when he saw the contents of the paper.
Blank?
Not a word on the letterhead.
I looked at both the front and back, and there was really not a word.
What the?
.....
.....
In the afternoon, a piece of news spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of the capital of Daji as if it had wings growing out of thin air - the emperor of Chu promised the prime minister Chen Dynasty that the prime minister Chen Dynasty would be an official and still be in the position of prime minister!
"This Chu Emperor's intentions can be described as extremely vicious!"
Late at night, when Chen Chao came to Song Qingwan's room with a yawn after dealing with a day's government affairs, Song Qingwan was rarely angry.
Song Qing's graceful chest rose and fell, clenched her teeth, and her charming face turned white.
"The news must have been deliberately released by Chu Zhong, the king of Qi of the Chu State, and they are going to roast Xiangye on both sides on the fire."
Chen Chao was nothing, took off his clothes and got into the bed.
After warming up for a while, he said: "Don't talk about these annoying things, I heard Hou Ji say today that there is a letter from Chuzhou, sent by my father-in-law?" ”
Speaking of this, Song Qingwan's face changed, and she hugged Chen Chao's arm like a little girl, and said with a smile:
"It wasn't sent by my father, it was sent by my mother, and my mother knew that I was pregnant, saying that the winter in the capital was dry and cold, and the winter in Chuzhou was better, and asked me to go back to raise the baby."
Different from the death of Chen Chao's parents in this life, Song Qingwan's parents are still alive, the old man made a fortune from Chuzhou, the official to the household book, Chen Dynasty gained a firm foothold in the court, the old man resigned and returned to his hometown with honor, and is currently in Chuzhou's hometown to recuperate, drink tea every day, play chess with the old man, and live a leisurely and enjoyable life.
"What do you think, why don't you go back and raise the baby? Winter in the capital is indeed difficult. Chen Chao looked at his wife and said.
Song Qingwan pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm not going anywhere, where are you and where I'm here." ”
Chen Chao could see that Song Qingwan wanted to go back to Chuzhou in her heart, but because of herself, she had to stay.
Chen Chao smiled, took a breath, and thought for a while, "That's ...... Shall we go back together? ”
"Huh? Are you sure? Are you sure? Can we really go back together? Song Qingwan was so happy that she couldn't wait to jump up on the spot, and said in surprise: "Can you really go back?" Shall we go back together? ”
"Really, really...... Believe me. Chen Chao also smiled.
