"The token of the Shangguan family!" Shangguan Yu whispered, "With it, you can command the five major families!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "How can you give me this? But what happened to the five major families?"
Shangguan Yu frowned and thrust the token into Chu Yiqing's hand: "Don't worry, the five major families are very peaceful now. Even if something happens, I will be there. You woman, just settle your own affairs."
That’s it, don’t worry too much!”
Chu Yiqing was stunned. He always felt that Shangguan Yu was weird. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Are you still angry? I don't let you go for your own good. I clearly know that this trip will be unlucky.
, your wife still has an unborn baby in her belly..."
Shangguan Yu was even more irritated, "You woman, you are still nagging here, how can you, a manly man, be as stingy as you?" After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked off the dock, continuing to greet people to unload the goods.
Chu Yiqing hugged A Bao and looked at the token in his hand. He didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Mother, just take it if your uncle tells you to take it!" Abao hugged Chu Yiqing's neck and whispered, "It's my uncle's best wishes for my mother, and I can't live up to it!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned and looked up at Abao: "I haven't seen you for a few days and you have new words. Who taught you this intention and disappointment?"
A Bao pursed his lips in displeasure: "Mom, don't always treat me like a three-year-old child. I'm so young, but here I know everything!" A Bao wrinkled his nose and pointed at his head, looking very old-fashioned.
said.
"Yes, yes, Abao knows everything. Do you know that my mother was really tired on this journey? My waist is so tired that I can't straighten up. How about stepping on my waist for a while?" Chu Yiqing said affectionately.
He gently pinched Abao's little nose and smiled.
"Is this here?" Upon hearing this, Abao quickly stretched out his little hand, clenched it into a small fist, stretched it to Chu Yiqing's back, and beat it gently.
"Well, that's about it. Let's go home now. Let's sit on a chair under the shade of a tree and eat a piece of iced watermelon. Oh, it's so comfortable!" Chu Yiqing smiled and hugged A Bao.
After waiting for the carriage, Mrs. Huangfu and Mai Xiang arrived, they returned home together.
"Mom, is Sister Jinyu still in the house? How is her health?" Chu Yiqing held A Bao while asking about the situation in the house.
"Everything is fine. Jinyu misses the child, so I asked them to go home first. Maixiang and I are here, and the house is in order. Don't worry!" Mrs. Huangfu waved her hand and watched the carriage pass by the house.
When he was at the yamen gate, he glanced out worriedly and couldn't help but tell Fourteen: "Fourteen, take the small road. It's a market today and it's not easy to walk there!"
Fourteen quickly responded and looked up just in time to see the imperial list. He was stunned and couldn't help but stop the carriage.
Mrs. Huangfu became even more anxious now, and kept urging: "Fourteen, what's wrong with you? Why don't you leave quickly? The family has prepared meals!"
"No, old lady, miss..." Fourteen pointed at the imperial list and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He quickly turned around and called the curtain and said, "Miss, what do you think this is?"
Chu Yiqing stretched out his head to take a closer look. Mrs. Huangfu quickly closed the curtain and said, "Yiqing, stop looking, let's talk about it when we get back!"
At this moment, someone who saw Chu Yiqing quickly shouted: "Oh, Miss Chu is back!"
As soon as the man shouted, people poured out from the surrounding shops, immediately blocking the road and surrounding Chu Yiqing's car.
Chu Yiqing was startled and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what happened?"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed. She couldn't hide it now, so she had to talk about the imperial list. Of course she didn't talk about the rumors. She just said: "I'm afraid you have no fate with the fifth prince now. So,
That’s fine, if he marries Princess Dai and you marry him, don’t let anyone get in the way!”
Chu Yiqing frowned. She didn't expect that in the past few days after she left, these things would become a big deal and the world would know about it. She smiled lightly and said: "Mom, don't listen to other people's nonsense. I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings!"
Mrs. Huangfu couldn't bear it any longer and said in rapid succession: "You kid is just stupid. You are hiding such a big thing from me about A Bao's life experience. Yes, I am not your biological mother, but
My heart for you is no worse than that of your own mother. I am an old man and have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Why are you just unwilling to listen to me? Now it is obvious that people dislike us.
Even Concubine Qing acted condescending and kept saying she liked you. In the end, she just asked you to change your name so that you could follow the Fifth Prince and live secretly for the rest of your life! There are so many men in the world, why do we ask for it?
I mean, if you have any backbone, don’t let the emperor look down on you. If we, a small family, live in the same way as a small family, the life of a wealthy family may not be a happy one!"
After Mrs. Huangfu finished speaking, she lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Yiqing, I know your heart, but my mother just loves you and A Bao!"
Chu Yiqing sighed. In fact, this was a matter between her and Li Huang. It was unnecessary to involve so many people. But Mrs. Huangfu felt for her, and she was also moved. If she didn't regard herself as her biological daughter, why would Mrs. Huangfu bother?
in this way?
"Mom, let's talk after we go back!" Chu Yiqing whispered, and ordered Fourteen to drive away the onlookers and drive home quickly.
"Have you seen the child in the car? I heard it's that bastard!" Someone jumped up and shouted, "When Miss Chu gets married, won't this child become a dragster?"
"How wonderful it is to marry a wife, bring several houses and a child, and have a son and money!" someone echoed.
"I don't know who the child belongs to. By the way, do you know who the man in Guanyin Temple was back then?" Some people were even asking around.
Chu Yiqing frowned, quickly covered A Bao's ears, and coldly ordered Fourteen: "Know the right person. If anyone talks too much, I'll slap him hard. If you hurt someone, I will be responsible for it!"
Fourteen quickly responded and flicked his whip. When the people outside the carriage heard these words, they were already frightened and took a step back. Fourteen took the opportunity to leave.
Old Mrs. Huangfu sighed and said: "How can you cover A Bao's ears for a moment? Now the emperor has publicized what you did back then to the whole country. You don't know what he did for!"
Chu Yiqing looked down at Abao in her arms, her heart filled with a sigh of relief, and she whispered: "Mom, I know how to do this, don't force me!"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed, waved her hands and said, "That's all, I don't care about your affairs. You stupid kid, you won't look back until you hit the wall!"
Chu Yiqing frowned and lowered his head in silence.
Back at the Chu Mansion, Chu Yiqing called Lei Yuan over and whispered: "Go to the capital to meet your father in person and ask him a question for me!"
Lei Yuan quickly said: "Miss, I won't marry that princess, so don't worry!"
Chu Yiqing shook his head and whispered: "Now that the matter has reached this point, I believe him, but I still want him to say a word. If he refuses to give me even a word, how can I trust him? I feel a little wronged.
I’m not afraid, but what should I do with A Bao? Now, even with the commotion here, I can’t leave. The only person I can trust now is you!"
Lei Yuan nodded and whispered: "Miss, I will set off immediately!"
Chu Yiqing nodded.
After Lei Yuan left, Chu Yiqing tried his best to calm down and then found another hundred yuan.
This time, Bai Yuanzeng and Mrs. Bai came to visit together.
"Miss Chu, you have been wronged!" As soon as Mrs. Bai saw Chu Yiqing, she held her hand tightly. Thousands of words were stuck in her heart, but in the end all she could say was this sentence.
Chu Yiqing was blessed and said: "Master Bai, Madam Bai, I know you have put a lot of thought into me, Chu Yiqing is here to thank you in advance!"
Mrs. Bai quickly pulled Chu Yiqing up and said: "Why are you saying these things? We have known each other for a long time, how can we not know what kind of person you are? Miss Chu, my husband is in the officialdom, although he is not
I have my own conscience, but I still have a conscience. This time I have agreed with the master that even if I lose this official position, I must keep the girl’s reputation and put an end to these rumors!”
Chu Yiqing was grateful again: "A friend in need is a friend indeed, so thank you Master Bai and Madam Bai!"
Bai Yuanzeng waved his hand, and Mrs. Bai even said: "We country people are very straightforward. We don't have those twists and turns. Although we have been working as officials outside these years and have learned some cunning, we can't lose our sincerity! It's just Chu.
Girl, I dare to ask, what are you going to do now?"
Chu Yiqing said in a low voice: "Wait, wait for the news about that person!"
Madam Bai was startled, then understood immediately, and sighed in a low voice: "Miss Chu, you are so infatuated, and I hope that the prince will not let down your heart!"
Chu Yiqing held Madam Bai's hand: "Master and Madam Bai can protect Yiqing like this. If he can't do it, it will really cost me all my thoughts on him!"
"Yes, yes, the prince is not such a forgetful person..." After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she remembered the news she had recently received from the capital, and couldn't help but shut her mouth. Who can say for sure about this person?
Bai Yuanzeng sat with Mrs. Bai for a while, but he didn't want to try any new dishes at the moment, so he left and went back.
Chu Yiqing sent them out of the gate and watched them get in the car and leave.
Turning around, he saw Concubine Qing and Lu Ping standing behind her. Chu Yiqing forced a smile and saluted Concubine Qing, "Aunt Qing, why is it out in such a hot day? I finished my work in the front yard and was about to go to Concubine Qing.
Please say hello!"
Concubine Qing stepped forward and took Chu Yiqing's hand and said, "That's just right, I just have something to tell you!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and followed Concubine Qing to the backyard room. As soon as he sat down, Concubine Qing said with a guilty look on his face: "Yiqing, don't blame Huang'er. He has struggled for so many years and cannot ruin his future because of a woman.
If you really wish him well..."
The smile on Chu Yiqing's face froze, and she looked at Concubine Qing with cold eyes: "What does Aunt Qing mean by saying this?"
Concubine Qing hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I have thought a lot these days. Li Huang is a stubborn kid. He might really do something for you. If you really want him good, why not just agree first?"
The emperor has given up on the matter of recruiting a bride, so that he can marry the Princess of Dai wholeheartedly and secure the throne. How about you change your name and bring A Bao into the palace when the time comes?"
Chu Yiqing's heart immediately became cold, and his whole body became cold. The only remaining trust was shattered by Qing Fei's words.
"Yiqing, don't blame Auntie. It's not that I don't like you, it's because you missed me from the beginning. You..." Concubine Qing spoke in a low voice, holding Chu Yiqing's little hand tightly, "As long as Huang
If you sit in that seat, he will have the final say in the world. When the time comes, you..."
"Queen Concubine Qing, Chu Yiqing doesn't dare to climb high!" Chu Yiqing withdrew his little hand with a stern look on his face, "Queen Concubine Qing, please worry about it!"
"Yiqing, can't you understand what I'm thinking? I'm doing this all for the sake of you and Huang'er!" Concubine Qing wanted to grab Chu Yiqing's hand again, but Chu Yiqing took two steps back and kept her distance.
distance.
"Thank you very much, Concubine Qing, for your consideration, but I'm afraid Yiqing won't be so lucky!" Chu Yiqing said coldly.
Concubine Qing said in a low voice: "Don't be stubborn. Let's not talk about Huang'er's identity. He is just an ordinary man in this world. As long as the family has some spare money, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Now you can stop him from marrying the princess.
, can you let him keep you alone in the future? Huang'er has you in his heart, didn't he come all the way round the clock just to see you? You don't know how much he has helped you in your business!
Qing, I know you have suffered a lot because of him, but I have said before that you are a bit petty and can't bear to part with your family business. You bastard, do you still want Huang'er to come here to accompany you?
Farmer? I didn't reach this point before, so I said it in vain. Now that it has reached this point, you just have to tolerate it. As a woman, you have to be tolerant. Now you are willing to give in and let him focus on you.
If you sit on that seat, neither he nor I will treat you badly in the future. What's more, A Bao is still the eldest son. In the future, the throne will also be A Bao's. Even if you are not the princess or the queen, it doesn't matter. You won't be in the future.
Queen Mother?"
Chu Yiqing breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly sneered and asked: "Concubine Qing has suffered so much in the palace, don't you still understand that the palace is a place for cannibalism? Once, I was tempted to think
I wanted to go with him, but now I have given up. Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor wants to help me find a bride this time, I just happened to choose a husband that I want. I stopped his thoughts and followed the wishes of Concubine Qing!"
Concubine Qing was startled and whispered: "Don't be so stubborn. What's the use of saying these strong words at this time?"
Chu Yiqing sneered and said: "I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for Concubine Qing. It doesn't matter what others say, but you have been here for so many days and I treat you sincerely. I didn't expect that the result would be like this in the end! I don't like it.
In other words, after twenty years, you still haven’t understood one thing!”
Concubine Qing was startled, her face suddenly turned ugly, and she whispered: "You...what do you mean?"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and happened to see Lei Yuan packing his bags and walking out with Ying Qian in the yard, and said loudly: "Lei Yuan, you don't have to go, stay here and help me put up notices and notify all prefectures and counties.
He said that I, Chu Yiqing, am going to marry someone according to the order, and I will be in Chuhan Wuming Town on the 15th of next month!"
"Miss, this..." Yingqian, who was about to send Lei Yuan out, was startled, and hurriedly came to the door with Lei Yuan to persuade: "Miss, don't be arrogant, you didn't let Lei Yuan just now..."
"I said there's no need to go, don't you understand?" Chu Yiqing sat still in the room and said with a cold eyebrow, "Just do as I say!"
"Miss..." Yingqian was still hesitating. She knew that Chu Yiqing was angry, but if she really did this...
"Yingqian, don't you even listen to what I say?" Chu Yiqing said coldly.
Yingqian had no choice but to nod and quickly pulled Lei Yuan out of the yard.
"Yiqing, what are you doing!" Concubine Qing said in a deep voice, her face already full of displeasure, "I thought my old sister was a hard thinker, why are you now..."
Chu Yiqing stood up and walked out: "Mom is right, we can't reach your royal family!"
"You kid, why are you saying the same thing as your godmother? I just asked you to endure the calm for a while, why should you do this..." Qing Fei couldn't help but stand up.
Chu Yiqing stood at the door and looked back at her: "Concubine Qing, I dare to ask you why Li Huang's life experience is so clear and the emperor has never forgotten you. Why do you refuse to go back but want to live in anonymity?"
here?"
Concubine Qing was stunned, her face changed again, and she whispered: "Huang'er is different from his father, and I am different from you. His father has so many concubines. I don't mind, as long as he has me in his heart, but
In the end, I realized that the only thing he cared about was the throne, and he was suspicious of me. If that was the case, why should I..."
Chu Yiqing sneered: "Queen Concubine Qing is so proud, how can she be so sure that I, Chu Yiqing, am not?"
Concubine Qing was startled again, and saw that the woman had already left the door. Outside, the noon sun was shining so brightly that it was hard to keep her eyes open.
Back in the room, Chu Yiqing asked Yingying to fetch some aged wine from the cellar. He lay on the couch, drank the wine, and hummed a song softly. The tune was sobbing, and the listeners couldn't help but feel sad.
"Miss, this song is really nice. I've never heard it before. What's its name?" Cherry asked while pouring wine for Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing slowly raised his lips and sneered: "It's just songs that some frustrated people sing. In the past, when they were working on the fields, those people liked to put the tape recorder on the fields to listen, and they couldn't help but remember it.
I stopped, but now I don’t know why, but I actually hummed it!”
Cherry didn't know the inside story, so she couldn't help but ask again: "What is Lu Yinji?"
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but laugh, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he was still sad, "You don't know what I said, okay, don't wait here, go down and have a rest!"
Cherry quickly asked: "When I came in just now, the old lady said it was ready, and asked Miss to go out to eat..."
Chu Yiqing waved his hand: "If you don't want to eat, just say I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. Don't bother anyone!"
Cherry hurriedly responded and went out.
"Cherry, let A Bao go to sleep with the old lady at noon!" Chu Yiqing ordered again.
Upon hearing this, Cherry nodded again.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Huangfu sent someone to call for dinner twice but got no news. Finally, she couldn't help but come to call for someone herself.
Cherry had just entered and closed the door. When she saw Mrs. Huangfu, she quickly said: "Old madam, the young lady said that she is tired and wants to sleep now. She asked you to take Master A Bao to eat first. She also said that she would take a nap later and let A Bao sleep with you.
!”
Mrs. Huangfu couldn't help but ask: "Did you really fall asleep?"
Cherry nodded: "I see that the lady is really tired, otherwise she wouldn't even bother Master Abao!"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed and said, "I'm afraid she's tired! That's all, let her be quiet for a while and let her think about it!" Mrs. Huangfu turned and left.
While drinking the wine, Chu Yiqing heard Mrs. Huangfu leaving. He couldn't help but sigh and said with a bitter smile: "Chu Yiqing, Chu Yiqing, it turns out that you also have a day to drink for men!" After saying that, he endured
He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "You haven't kept your heart after all!"
Sitting at the dinner table, Abao kept twisting his little head. Seeing that Yingtao was already serving dishes for him, he poked his head and asked Mrs. Huangfu: "Grandma, where is my mother?"
"Your mother is tired and needs to sleep for a while. Let's eat first. After eating later, you can go to grandma's room to have a rest!" Mrs. Huangfu said as she brought some more vegetables to A Bao.
"Grandma, is what was said in the car true?" Mai Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Huangfu took her chopsticks and tapped Mai Xiang's head gently: "You are not busy enough with things in the house? Don't worry about it! Hurry up and eat!"
Mai Xiang pouted and whispered: "A Bao knows how to look down on people, why can't I know?"
Mrs. Huangfu ignored her and lost her appetite after serving a few chopsticks. She was afraid that A Bao and Mai Xiang would see it, so she had to forcefully swallow a few more mouthfuls.
After dinner, Mrs. Huangfu took A Bao to lie down on the kang. She closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep quickly. When you wake up, your mother will also wake up. I'll come find you then."
mother!"
Abao responded and turned around.
When Mrs. Huangfu saw that he had not moved for a long time, she thought he had fallen asleep, so she turned around and fell asleep.
Abao had been trying hard to keep his eyes open to prevent himself from falling asleep. At this moment, he heard Mrs. Huangfu's snoring. He quickly sat up quietly and tiptoed off the kang.
Standing by the window, he accurately found Ade's position and waved to him. Ade stepped forward resignedly.
"Take me to see my mother!" Abao whispered.
Ade nodded, picked up A Bao and walked to Chu Yiqing's door.
But Abao shook his head and gestured to carry him to the window.
Standing at the window, looking at Chu Yiqing lying on the soft couch inside, smelling the smell of alcohol permeating the room, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he muttered in a low voice: "Daddy, bad guy!"
"Master Abao..." When Ade saw the scene in the room, he couldn't help but whispered, "Do you want to find someone..."
"No!" Abao shook his head, "It will be fine as soon as mother wakes up! Okay, just take me back!"
Ade had no choice but to obey.
As soon as Mrs. Huangfu heard that Chu Yiqing had really agreed to marry him, she was so happy that she couldn't help but look at the horoscopes of those people again, and then quickly called Yingqian and said, "Yingqian, remember to let people go as far as possible."
Let everyone know that there are more such outstanding men!"
Yingqian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Old madam, is there anything in this world that is more powerful than the emperor's imperial list? Don't worry, as long as the young lady agrees to recruit a bride, once the news is spread, everyone will know the date of the recruitment!
"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded and said, "That's good, that's good!"
Just as he was talking, Concubine Qing came to the door with Lu Ping. Mrs. Huangfu pretended not to see it and continued to say to Yingqian: "Although our family is a small family, our daughter feels sorry for herself. This matter must be done."
Make it grand and serious, and find a good man for Yiqing!"
Concubine Qing stopped at the door and whispered: "Sister, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu was startled and looked back at her. Although she still held a grudge in her heart, she still said: "You are unfamiliar with the place here, where can you go? Although I don't like you now, I don't really want to drive you away. Wait.
The Fifth Prince is here to pick you up. You should leave before you leave. Otherwise, if something happens, how can we, a small family like us, explain to the Fifth Prince?"
Concubine Qing smiled faintly: "Thank you, sister, for your kindness. I naturally have somewhere to go, so you don't need to worry!"
Seeing that Concubine Qing was so determined, Mrs. Huangfu had no choice but to say, "If you want to leave, you have to tell Yiqing. Don't say that it was my old lady who drove you away. I can't bear the crime!"
Concubine Qing smiled and said, "If I left that day because of you, why bother waiting until today? Please forward this letter to Yiqing!"
Mrs. Huangfu frowned: "You'd better tell her in person, she's not at home!" After saying that, she asked Yingqian to call Chu Yiqing.
After giving orders to Yingqian, Mrs. Huangfu turned around, but Concubine Qing and Luping were nowhere to be seen, and only a letter was left there.
"This old woman is really vicious. If anything happens, wouldn't it make the fifth prince hate my family?" Mrs. Huangfu grabbed the letter and chased her out, but Concubine Qing was nowhere to be seen.
When Chu Yiqing heard that Concubine Qing was leaving, she hurried over with Yingqian. When she heard that Concubine Qing and Lu Ping had left, she frowned and was about to ask Lei Yuan to look for her when she saw Diao San rushing over.
"Diao San, you came just in time, Concubine Qing..." Chu Yiqing said in a low voice.
"Miss, don't be anxious. I just made a special trip to tell the girl that Concubine Qing is very safe. Everything she said she wanted to write is written in this letter. She said she will understand after reading it!" Diao San said quickly.
"Is she really safe?" Chu Yiqing asked in a low voice.
Diao San nodded: "Miss, I believe this is my subordinate!"
Chu Yiqing opened the letter. There was only one sentence in the letter, "Yiqing, if I were not Huang'er's mother, I wouldn't have said those words to you. Don't blame me! But I really hope you can understand.
