Jiang Qi looked at Chu Yueyin's beautiful face with some surprise. Instead of being ecstatic, it was filled with shock, doubt and reluctance. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the future queen was different from those in Yu Wenhua's harem.
Concubines are different.
Jiang Qi explained patiently for the first time: "This is an imperial edict. It must have been inspected by the emperor before being stamped with the jade seal. If Miss Yueyin doesn't believe it, just read it carefully and understand clearly after receiving the edict."
"Miss Yueyin accepted the order, and our family has to return to the palace to recover. Miss Yueyin? The Queen?"
Chu Yueyin was awakened by Jiang Qi's "Queen", "The daughter of the people took the order to thank you!"
She stood up, took the imperial edict from Jiang Qi's hand, took a deep breath, and unfolded it. Sure enough, the content of the imperial edict was exactly the same as what Jiang Qi had just read.
Chu Huan and Mrs. Chu also stood up. Chu Huan waved to someone to present a stack of banknotes that had been prepared long ago, and said to Jiang Qi respectfully: "These are tea money for the officials, it is not respectful! In the future, in
The palace also asks the officials to take good care of the little girl."
Chu Tian, the steward of the Chu Mansion, also took some banknotes and counted them one by one among the red-clad guards who came with Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi took the banknote, put it in his arms and put it away, saying: "Congratulations to Miss Yueyin, congratulations to Mr. Chu. Please prepare well for Miss Yueyin. In ten days, the sedan chair will come to the door, and Miss Yueyin will enter the palace as the queen. Mother
You are the most noble person in the world. If you gain the emperor's favor again, it will be just around the corner for Mr. Chu to be granted the title of Marquis!"
Chu Huan nodded, "Thank you for your kind words!"
"Okay, our family is going back to the palace to resume their lives." Jiang Qi was about to leave when he glanced at Chu Yueyin, who seemed to have not yet calmed down, "Mr. Chu, we must protect the safety of Miss Yueyin these days. Qian Qi
Don’t make any mistakes.”
"Yes, yes! Chu Huan knows. Officials, please!" Chu Huan sent Jiang Qi out of the house.
Chu Yueyin held the imperial edict and stood blankly in the hall. Mrs. Chu walked up and down the hall with a face full of joy, repeating over and over again: "My daughter is going to be a queen! My daughter is going to be a queen.
Come on!..." As he said this, he walked out of the hall. When he saw the maid, the servant asked her to congratulate her.
"Mother!..." Chu Yueyin looked at Mrs. Chu's happy look, and her bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist unknowingly. For the Chu family, it was a matter of honor for the Chu family to have their daughter become the queen.
But for her, it was a bolt from the blue. No matter how handsome or powerful that man is, if you don't love him, you don't love him, even if he gives you a noble position.
"Yueyin!" As soon as Chu Huan returned to the hall, he saw Chu Yueyin looking unsteady and shaky, so he quickly stepped forward to help her.
"Dad, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to enter the palace!" Chu Yueyin saw clearly that the person in front of her was Chu Huan, grabbed Chu Huan's sleeve with one hand, and said hurriedly.
Chu Huan patted her hand reassuringly and asked the question in his heart: "Yue Yin, although our Chu family is also a noble, but you have been out of officialdom for many years, so the emperor will not notice you. This imperial edict is very strange.
.Are you hiding something from dad?"
Chu Yueyin knew that keeping it secret would not help, so she told the truth about what happened on the Mid-Autumn Night. As a result, the truth that she had fabricated Wen Hui's illness to cover up that he was taken away by Yu Wenhua was also exposed.
.
"It turns out that there is such a reason." Chu Huan heard this and sighed, "The current emperor has ascended the throne at a young age. In the past ten years, his civil, political and martial arts have been top-notch. Since he has made you his queen, he must still like you."
Chu Yueyin said angrily: "But I don't like him. It's just a one-time relationship, not even a good impression. How can we talk about marriage and force the marriage?"
"But he is the emperor after all. If he wants to marry, who dares not to marry him?!" Chu Huan said while shaking his head, seemingly not agreeing with Yue Yin's statement.
"Dad, I really don't want to enter the palace! You can think of a way and push it, okay?" Chu Yueyin held Chu Huan's arm and shook it gently, acting coquettishly.
Chu Huan was shaken by her like this, and his heart was softened by her. Although the two became father and daughter for only a few months, he already treated her as his own daughter. However, the person she provoked was
Yu Wenhua, the emperor of the Zangyuan Kingdom, was still an emperor who always spoke his mind.
He reluctantly advised: "Yueyin, if it were anyone else, my father would help you cancel the marriage no matter what, but he is the emperor! There is a saying that 'under the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the land of the king?
King's ministers, how can we, as ministers, resist and disobey the decree?"
After hearing Chu Huan's words, Chu Yueyin knew in her heart that the imperial power was above all else here, but she just couldn't give in. She felt aggrieved and the tears she had been holding back for a long time finally fell and wet half of her clothes.
Seeing her like this, Chu Huan couldn't bear it, so he had to comfort her with soft words: "Yueyin, don't worry! There are still ten days, isn't it? You go back to Yuehua Pavilion to rest first, and give dad some time to think of a solution.
"
Chu Yueyin's eyes brightened and she looked at Chu Huan happily, but they dimmed instantly. She sniffed gently, wiped the tears on her face with a silk handkerchief, and bowed to Chu Huan.
"Dad, I'm going back to Yuehua Pavilion."
"go."
Chu Yueyin slowly walked out of the hall. When she heard Chu Huan sighing heavily from behind, her heart felt like it had been cut by a knife, and a stinging and helpless feeling hit her face. She hurried back to Yuehua Pavilion without taking off her clothes.
, lying on the bed fully clothed, burying her whole body in the brocade quilt, sobbing softly. I don’t know how long it took, but she was tired of crying and fell into a drowsy sleep. She slept until night fell and it was time to turn on the lamp.
Yinqiao lit the lamp in the room and turned to look at her with a smile.
"Miss Yueyin, are you awake? Take a bath first or have dinner first?"
Is it already dark? She actually slept from morning to after dusk. Chu Yueyin sat up, lifted the brocade quilt, put on embroidered shoes, walked to the table and sat down, holding her forehead and saying nothing. Probably because she slept for too long
Because of this, her head was dizzy and she still had some pain.
Yinqiao carefully looked at her slightly pale face, took a small delicate jar from the dressing table, and opened it. A cool fragrance floated into the tip of Chu Yueyin's nose, which suddenly made her chaotic mind sober.
.
"What is this?" Chu Yueyin raised her head and asked curiously.
Yinqiao handed the small jar in front of her: "This is mint gel balm. Rub a little on the temples to make people feel refreshed. Miss, would you like to try it?"
Chu Yueyin picked up a little ointment with her fingertips and applied it on both temples. Sure enough, after a while, the drowsiness disappeared and the headache stopped.
"Yinqiao, I'm hungry." I haven't eaten for a whole day. How can I not be hungry?
"Okay, I will go and pass on the meal right now." Yinqiao felt relieved and hurriedly left the Yuehua Pavilion to call for someone to bring the dinner.
