When Chu Mingyang heard that his grandfather had summoned him for no reason, he asked the servant who sent the message, "Did Princess Concubine go to see my grandfather just now?"
The servant shook his head and said, "As far as the second lady is concerned, there is no such thing."
Chu Mingyang knew how to deal with others, and had already taken care of the people serving his grandfather, so if the eldest sister had not gone to see his grandfather, then there should be nothing wrong.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of marrying the King of Chu.
In this way, she can go out with peace of mind.
However, when she entered the courtyard gate, the old steward hurriedly came forward and said: "Second Miss, I want you to kneel outside first."
Chu Mingyang was startled, "Kneeling? Why?"
The old steward said: "This is what the master meant. Second Miss, don't ask. The master is furious. You'd better kneel down first!"
Chu Mingyang knew her grandfather's majesty and did not dare not to kneel down. She was unwilling to just kneel down. She asked: "Steward, can you tell me what I did wrong?"
The steward sighed softly, "Auntie Xi has been here. Second Miss, why do you need to mess with Princess Chu?"
When Chu Mingyang heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and said, "I want to see my grandfather. I have something to say."
The steward was embarrassed and said: "Second Miss, you'd better kneel down first."
"I want to see my grandfather. I have something to defend." A slave complained, and her grandfather wanted to punish her? Is this still decent?
A tea cup was smashed out of the room and shattered on the ground. The fragments splashed on Chu Mingyang's body. She was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back and knelt down with a thud.
The old steward sighed: "Second Miss, you'd better kneel down. The master will see you, and you will always have time to defend yourself."
Even though Chu Mingyang was dissatisfied, he did not dare to do it again.
Chu Mingyang's father and mother were called over, and they entered the room and talked for a while before going out. Uncle Chu and his wife looked at their daughter kneeling on the ground, sighed slightly, and left.
After another moment of burning incense, I saw that the Minister of Rites had also arrived. He also talked for a while and left with a smile.
Chu Mingyang's knees hurt from kneeling, and he sat back for a moment, thinking about what was going on.
Chu Mingcui also entered the yard. When she saw Chu Mingyang kneeling on the ground, she frowned slightly, "I told you, but you didn't listen."
Chu Mingyang was really puzzled and asked: "Auntie, this old slave, came here today, and my grandfather punished me. Why does my grandfather pay so much attention to her words?"
Chu Mingcui said: "Second sister, you have always been smarter than me. You should understand that there are some things that cannot be said. I hate Yuan Qingling more than you do, but in front of Aunt Xi, I try to be restrained. She cannot be offended."
Chu Mingyang said coldly: "Can't you offend me? Then when I marry the King of Chu as a concubine, do I really have to look at her face?"
Chu Mingcui looked at her and felt a sense of joy in her heart for some reason, "You will not marry King Chu. My grandfather has already decided to marry you to King Ji as his concubine. Just now, my grandfather passed the news to my parents and came here to discuss it."
This matter."
"King Ji?" Chu Mingyang jumped up and screamed: "I don't agree!"
