At this moment, in the mansion where the Yushi Wuyi was being monitored, Wu Fangting was crying to her mother, her eyes were red from crying, which was very heartbreaking.
"Master, why don't you go to the palace again and ask Concubine Wu to ask for the emperor's decree for marriage? In this case, the prince of Chu will still dare not to obey?" Mrs. Wu couldn't hold back her beloved daughter.
He begged and quickly put pressure on Wu Yi.
Mrs. Wu's family used to be a famous family. Although the Wu family was a family of officials, it was far inferior to Mrs. Wu's family. At that time, Mrs. Wu's family did not agree with this marriage, but Mrs. Wu insisted on getting married.
Later, Concubine Wu entered the palace and became very popular with the emperor. Along the way, she has now become a very important figure in the harem. All three martial arts brothers participated in the palace examination, especially the third one, Wucheng, who was the number one scholar in the previous term.
Now less than thirty years old, he is already an attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and may be promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in the future. The eldest brother, Wu Yi, was the top pick in the first three years. Step by step, he worked hard to reach the official position of supervisory censor. The Wu family has gradually gradually
's flourished.
Although the Wu family has prospered, Wu Yi is still very awe and grateful to this married wife. Hearing what Mrs. Wu said, he was confused: "Madam, if this trick could work, Concubine Wu would have gone there long ago.
I beg the Emperor, we don’t have to spend so much effort secretly!”
When Wu Fangting heard this, she immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Father and mother, it's my fault that I can't be liked by the Crown Prince of Chu..." [
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her heart was broken. She quickly comforted Wu Fangting in a low voice, and finally said: "Master, no matter what, you go to the palace and talk to Concubine Wu. Let Concubine Wu mention it."
Mention, I believe that Concubine Wu doesn’t want the Yang family to marry the Prince of Chu’s family!”
When Wu Yi heard this, he said: "In that case, I will go to the palace and see what Concubine Wu has to say!"
Mrs. Wu nodded quickly.
At this moment, Wu Fangting stopped crying and raised her eyes, her eyes full of expectation.
Wu Yi was not sure at all, so he had to do his best.
At this moment, Jin Tengjing has returned from Chu Han. With Chongwen's help, he can easily find the location of the holy spring. Because the spring water irrigates the entire Zhujiazui, it is also very easy for him to get the spring water. So this time, he
He came to the palace to ask for credit.
"What did you say? Qian'er's eyes can really see?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Wu asked happily.
"Yes, the prince's eyes can already see. Although his vision is not as clear as ordinary people's, there is basically no serious problem! My subordinates are here to congratulate Concubine Wu!" Jin Tengjing said quickly.
"That's great, great, but why didn't Qian'er enter the palace with you? So that I can see his eyes!" Concubine Wu said in surprise.
"It's the prince's wish. The prince said not to spread the news that he can see things now. He wants the emperor to know first!" Jin Tengjing said.
Concubine Wu nodded and said: "When Qian'er was young, the emperor was very happy with him. Qian'er was smart and the best among the princes. It was a pity that he was blinded by the concubine. The emperor saw Qian'er.
After Qian'er was used, we became estranged. If Qian'er can regain the emperor's favor and I can sit on the throne of the queen..."
Jin Tengjing immediately said: "The queen and the prince have been secretive these years, and they have been waiting for a day like this. I believe that the queen and the prince will definitely get what they want!"
Concubine Wu nodded excitedly and said happily: "This is all the work of counselor Jin. You saved Qian'er's eyes, and you saved Qian'er and me. I will definitely not treat you badly in the future!"
When Jin Tengjing heard this, he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Concubine Wu!"
Concubine Wu kept nodding.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wu, please see me!" At this moment, the chamberlain came in with a message.
Concubine Wu said happily: "Brother is here just in time, please come in quickly!"
Jin Tengjingya whispered: "That subordinate will leave first!"
Concubine Wu nodded and asked Jin Tengjing to go down first to receive the reward.[
Wu Yi came in with a sad face, but saw that Concubine Wu's face was full of joy. After saluting, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, didn't you get the news? Then the Yang family is going to be engaged to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Woolen cloth!"
Concubine Wu couldn't restrain her excitement and quickly called Wu Yi forward, whispering: "Brother, don't be anxious, Qian'er's eyes can see now. As long as the emperor knows the news, he will be happy. At that time, I took the opportunity to propose the marriage between Ting'er and the Crown Prince of Chu, I believe the emperor will definitely agree!"
When Wu Yi heard that King Qian's eyes had regained sight, he simply couldn't believe it. King Qian's eyes could see, which meant...
"Really? Really?" Wu Yi said excitedly.
"I have long said that Jin Tengjing can certainly cure Gan'er's eyes. God has indeed lived up to my expectations for so many years. Now that Gan'er's eyes have regained sight, my third brother can sit on the throne of the Hanlin Academy scholar again. When the time comes, my eldest brother will take the opportunity to ask the emperor to establish a queen. Looking at the entire harem, I am the only one worthy of sitting in that seat!" Thinking of this, Concubine Wu couldn't help but straighten her back and feel high-spirited.
Wu Yi also swept away the previous depression on his face, nodded and said: "Concubine Wu, we finally got through it, but it's a pity that the prince came back at the wrong time. If he came back after Qian'er's eyes recovered, what would he say? indefinite……"
From Wu Yi's point of view, the reason why the emperor is so compromised now is not because there is no useful prince under his knees. The second prince has always been cowardly and of low origin. Although there was Liu Hu in the court before, the second prince was unable to hold up the wall and was not as good as him. It was justifiable for the Sixth Prince to sit in that seat, not to mention that Concubine Wu was from a famous family and her mother's family was very powerful. If the Sixth Prince's eyes had recovered a long time ago, he could relieve the Emperor's worries, and the Emperor would never show favor to a rebellious son again and again!
When she said this, Concubine Wu also felt a little melancholy in her heart, and whispered: "Yes, if Qian'er's eyes can regain sight half a year ahead of schedule, there will be no such thing as the prince returning to the palace!"
"Wu Fei, no matter what, it won't be too late for Prince Qian to regain his sight. We have been preparing for so many years, and it is finally time to put it to use!" Wu Yi comforted again.
"Brother, just wait and see the show tomorrow!" Concubine Wu smiled faintly.
Wu Yi nodded quickly.
Concubine Wu was planning everything, but Chu Yiqing was calm. In the afternoon, Lu Ningxin and Mrs. Lu came to visit in person. Because the weather was good, Chu Yiqing immediately entertained them in the garden, and there were more on the table. A variety of fruits and pastries were laid out.
"Yesterday Xin'er came to trouble Concubine Chu. This child is like this. He does whatever comes to his mind. He doesn't follow the rules at all, which made Concubine Chu laugh!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile. Although there were words of praise and criticism in her mouth, she hoped that Xiang Lu Ningxin's eyes were full of love.
"Ms. Lu's frank character is very rare. I like her very much. Madam has raised a good daughter!" Chu Yiqing said, looking at Lu Ningxin with a smile.
Mrs. Lu was naturally very happy when she heard Chu Yiqing's praise of Lu Ningxin. She naturally liked her own daughter. Lu Ningxin said that her "nature" was a bit more lively, but she learned the rules very well. She played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Hong is proficient in everything, and she has been trained by her since she was a child. It can be said that except for her slightly out-of-touch temperament, she is no worse than the noble ladies in the capital. She had the idea of asking Qing to help with the matchmaking, so naturally
You can't be too modest, because you are afraid that Chu Yiqing will believe it, and you are also afraid that if you praise your daughter too much, others will think that you are exaggerating the truth and say that she is unstable. That would be even worse.
Chu Yiqing just said a polite word, but it made Mrs. Lu's mind spin several times, and finally said with a smile: "Concubine Chu, thank you for your praise. My daughter has had a good temper since she was a child, and she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but
She is only sixteen years old and is still young, so she does not deserve such praise. Fortunately, she is docile and obedient, which makes me very happy!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "It can be seen that Mrs. Lu has put a lot of thought into teaching her daughter!"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "I and your husband only have one daughter. Originally, she was well educated in Lucheng. But when my daughter grows up, she will eventually find her husband's family. Now she will return to the capital!"
While Mrs. Lu was speaking, she saw Lu Ningxin's eyes staring straight ahead. She quickly followed her gaze and saw that in the pavilion not far ahead, Hua Qi and Li Tieshuan were reading.
At this moment, Lu Ningxin's eyes were always locked on Hua Qi.
Mrs. Lu saw that Hua Qi was wearing a student's shirt and was standing by the pavilion with his hands behind his back to endorse books. Half of his angular profile was reflected in the afterglow of the evening sun, as if it were covered with a layer of gold. He was extremely handsome, so she smiled and asked
: "Those two people over there are..."
Chu Yiqing turned around and took a look, then smiled and said: "They are my two nephews. Although they are not close relatives, they are related to each other. They both studied at Tianque Academy. Now they have both won the exam and are preparing for next year's college entrance examination.
Compare!"
Lu Ningxin couldn't help but said: "Mom, the man in the white shirt is a playboy. Do you still remember Yajizhai? Do you still remember your favorite potted willow tree?" [
Mrs. Lu was startled and asked, "Is it the young master from Huafu in Lucheng?"
Lu Ningxin nodded.
Madam Lu suddenly asked: "Is the Concubine Chu actually related to the Hua Mansion?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I do have some connection with Mr. Hua. When Mr. Hua passed away, he entrusted the young master and the young lady of the Hua Mansion to me. The two children were still young at that time. The young lady,
He grew up by my side. As for the older Mr. Huafu, because he has been independent and stable since he was a child and is good at reading, he can share my worries and take charge of Huafu's business!"
Mrs. Lu paused and asked hesitantly: "Could it be that Concubine Chu is the legendary Goddess of Agriculture, Miss Chu?"
Before Chu Yiqing could say anything, Lu Ningxin laughed and said, "Mom, you just know it!"
Mrs. Lu suddenly felt frightened and quickly stood up and said: "When I was in Lucheng that day, I heard a lot of anecdotes about Miss Chu. Unfortunately, I have been in poor health and have no time to see you. I didn't expect to see you here now.
Miss Chu, oh no, Concubine Chu, you are really rude!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sit down quickly, you're welcome. Speaking of which, we are also destined!"
Mrs. Lu nodded and said, very happy. At this moment, she looked up and saw Hua Qi looking over here. Maybe she saw Lu Ningxin, and immediately waved lightly, with a smile on her face, which became more and more...
Extraordinarily handsome. She turned her eyes and saw that her daughter's face was red and shy. She suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively: "Isn't that playboy married?"
Chu Yiqing glanced at Lu Ningxin and knew what Mrs. Lu meant, but he still told the truth: "Qi'er has been engaged to Xu Yunxi, the granddaughter of Xu Guogong in the north of the city!"
"Ah?" Mrs. Lu was startled, and when she looked back and saw Lu Ningxin, the shyness on her face had disappeared, and her face was pale.
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said with a smile: "The marriage was decided in Lucheng, and Mr. Yan from Tianque Academy gave Bao the matchmaker. Madam Xu and Yun Xi came here a few days ago,
That kid from Yunxi is very quiet and has a similar temperament to Mo'er. I'll introduce you to him some other time!"
Mrs. Lu had previously considered Hua Qi because of her relationship with Chu Yiqing. After all, although Hua Qi was from a famous family, Hua Mansion was also a large family in Lu City, but after all, Hua Mansion had only a small population.
A young man and a young lady, Hua Qi had just won the imperial examination. If she had Chu Yiqing's protection, she would have been able to achieve success if she won the first prize. But now that she heard that they were engaged, she quickly gave up, but when she saw Lu Ningxin, she still secretly
Touching and looking towards Hua Qi, her face was pale and her eyes were sad. She knew that her daughter might be tempted, so she immediately said: "Miss Xu family is engaged, I'm afraid that after Mr. Hua goes to high school, she will be married."
She's getting married, and she must be busy preparing the dowry these days, so don't bother her!"
As Mrs. Lu spoke, she secretly tugged on Lu Ningxin's lapel, and Lu Ningxin finally looked back.
Maybe what you get by answering that sentence is good. Lu Ningxin only had a good impression of Hua Qi at first, but now when she heard that Hua Qi was engaged, her heart ached. She was born into a wealthy family like Lu Ningxin.
In her daughter's house, her parents were very strict in discipline, but in her heart she yearned more and more for the love in "The Romance of the West Chamber".
When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Ningxin acting like this, she was even more afraid that Lu Ningxin would be buried deep in her thoughts after seeing Hua Qi for a long time, so she sat there for a while and then left.
Chu Yiqing asked someone to send the two of them out.
On the carriage back, Mrs. Lu wanted to warn Lu Ningxin in a low voice, but she was afraid that her daughter's thoughts would be revealed by her and it would be even more troublesome in the future. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Ningxin should know how to obey her after following her for so many years.
Although her status may not necessarily allow her to marry the prince like Mo'er, according to Lu Youli's personality, she would definitely not let her become a concubine. She immediately said nothing, but made up her mind to do so.
She quickly found a family for Lu Ningxin. She wanted to help as the Yang family was about to arrange a marriage, so she wanted to take this opportunity to mention it to her Mrs. Yang to see if there were any good families in the capital.
Lu Ningxin felt distressed at the moment, but she became more and more confused about the Huaqi Demon. However, she also knew that although the Lu family was not a wealthy family, they would never tolerate her being a concubine, so she felt very special in her heart.
I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't even get sick after returning from the Chu Mansion. Naturally, this is something to talk about later.
After the morning court on the second day, Li Huang hurriedly came back from the palace, his face not good-looking.
"What happened?" Chu Yiqing closed the book and looked back and asked.
Li Huang frowned and whispered: "It's okay not to talk about the things in the court!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You'd better say it, you also know that I can't be idle!"
Li Huang then said: "Li Gan's eyes have healed, and he went to court today. Moreover, as soon as he went to court, he proposed ten strategies to strengthen the army and secure the country. He won the emperor's heart very much!"
When he thought of Li Qian's stunning performance in the morning court today, and his father's proud look when he looked at him, he knew that his father had always been too accommodating to him, and he had not forgotten what he once said. Those "bold words", the father now clearly told Li Huang that he was not the only capable prince in this court!
Although Li Huang just said it in an understatement, Chu Yiqing could also imagine the scene at that time. The sixth prince had been blind for more than ten years, and his eyes suddenly healed. He also proposed a plan to strengthen the army and stabilize the country. The emperor and the ministers were very surprised. It seems that the next period of time will be uneven again!
"What plan did the Sixth Prince propose?" Chu Yiqing asked calmly.
Li Huang mentioned the ten strategies, one of which was for the current drought, and he actually mentioned the Lingquan in Zhujiazui.
"How did he know about Lingquan?" Chu Yiqing was startled and frowned.
"Do you still remember that Jin Tengjing went to Lucheng a few days ago? I'm afraid that Jin Tengjing found the spring!" Li Huang also frowned, "If the emperor knows that the dragon vein of Shura Kingdom is located, I'm afraid there will be another incident. A storm!”
Chu Yiqing nodded: "No wonder you are so worried, you thought it was just for the sixth prince to regain his sight!"
Li Huang couldn't help but sneered and said proudly: "Even if Li Qian recovers his eyesight, with his intelligence, he is still not enough to be my opponent. What I'm worried about now is that I don't know how much they know about the spring and the land rental matters. , you see, don’t forget that the emperor father didn’t know that those lands were yours, so he was furious and cut off Liu Hu’s position. If he knew that those lands were yours, and the rent had been given to the people, Liu Qi would have destroyed those rice seedlings. , if it won’t affect people’s lives at all…”
Chu Yiqing curled his lips slightly, read through the ten strategies again, and said: "Now it seems that Li Gan's people haven't checked this step yet, not to mention, Mai Xiang is a new face, and few people I know her, and she has also asked those people to block the news. It has always been the original owners of those lands who have been cultivating it."
Li Huang felt a little relieved.
Chu Yiqing asked again: "What else happened in the court today?"
Li Huang thought for a while and said: "People from the Ministry of Martial Arts and the Ministry of Rites submitted a letter asking my father to establish a queen, saying that the harem has been empty for a long time!"
