Chu Yiqing smiled coldly: "Of course I won't give up. Ever since I returned to the capital, some people have been doing tricks behind my back. It's time to teach these people a lesson, otherwise they will think I am a sleeping tiger!"
There are many kinds of rumors. Some of them are ignored and will dissipate as time goes by. The clear will become clear and the dirty will become dirty. However, the current rumors are obviously aimed at her and Chu Huan. Not only that, but also
Po may be involved, and what's more, these rumors are not groundless. They are trees with roots and water. If they are ignored and allowed to develop, I'm afraid there will be no way to deal with them!
Chu Yiqing glanced at Yingqian and said in a low voice: "You are still in confinement, so don't worry. I know you are worried that Yingrun will not be able to take on the important task, but now that I have Fang by my side, you should be able to
Don’t worry, go back quickly!”
After Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he quickly ordered Yingrun to send Yingqian back, and by the way, someone called Fang to the flower hall.
"What are your orders, madam?" Fang's body and attitude were respectful.[
"You are not a slave, so you don't need to pay this courtesy. I called you here because I just want you to do me a favor!" Chu Yiqing said with a light smile.
Mrs. Fang felt deeply blessed again and whispered: "Thanks to Concubine Chu's shelter, Yuhua can avoid the eyes of relatives at home. Yuhua is very grateful to Concubine Chu and will naturally try his best to repay her. Forgive Yuhua for talking too much.
I want to ask, are you worried about the rumors that are spreading in the capital these days?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You are really smart!"
Yuhua once again said with a faint smile, "Yuhua's natal family has opened more than a dozen snack shops in the city. The most popular people coming and going are women. Women have always been the source of right and wrong, so Yuhua naturally knows something about it!"
"Okay, in that case, you should also understand what I want you to do!" Chu Yiqing nodded.
Yuhua nodded and said: "Yuhua will definitely live up to Madam's trust!"
Chu Yiqing nodded. He was thinking about the right time, but he didn't expect that the housekeeper outside the door announced that a message had been sent from Prince Qian's Mansion. In five days, it would be Princess Qian's birthday, and Qi Yunluo would hold a banquet in the mansion.
, inviting Chu Yiqing to participate.
Looking at the gilded invitation, Chu Yiqing slowly raised his lips. It seemed that the person behind the scenes could no longer hold his breath!
"Ma'am, are you going?" Fang Fang asked in a low voice, looking at the invitation.
Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and looked at her: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Fang lowered her head and said softly: "If Madam doesn't go, those people will think that Madam is guilty. But if Madam goes, there will be no more arguments. Even though Madam is prepared, Madam's body is not as good as before, so she should
Be careful in everything and put your body first."
Chu Yiqing sneered: "It's just a few rumors, it's not enough to hurt my body. Since that person is ready, I can't let her down! Yuhua, what I just told you to do, you do it as soon as possible
, can’t delay, you know?”
Fang hurriedly read the latest chapter of the Immortal Book of the Three Realms.
Qian Wangfei Qi Yunluo, because her family background was too low and the Qi family was in prison, no one in the capital could befriend her. In the past few years, Qi Yunluo's birthday was not even mentioned.
Those who dare to mention it are now widely posted to invite your lady to have a banquet at Prince Qian's Mansion. Everyone is speculating that it is related to the restoration of the eyes of Prince Qian, and the second reason is because of the rumors that have been circulating in the capital recently-recently
There are no decent gatherings in the capital. There is no reason to gather together, and naturally there is no reason to see more excitement! Especially when they learned that even the crown prince’s concubines were invited, many noble ladies hugged
Seeing the lively attitude, they responded to the post one after another and agreed to the invitation in five days.
Li Huang came back from the palace and listened to Yingrun talking about today's events. He quickly entered the room with a look of concern on his face.
"Is this girl Yingrun unable to calm down again?" Chu Yiqing was lying lazily on the soft couch at the moment, holding a book in his hand and reading. Seeing Li Huang's expression was not good, he immediately laughed.
Said: "You just go about your business, I will take care of these little things!"
Seeing her calm expression and rosy face, Li Huang immediately felt relieved. He squeezed in beside her and sat down and said, "Don't worry about the rumors. I have ordered a thorough investigation of the storyteller in the teahouse and restaurant. I will definitely find him."
The source of this matter!"
Chu Yiqing gently grabbed his arm and said: "Just do your business. These people are coming for me. If I keep hiding behind you, they will only become more and more aggressive! Although I am too lazy to fight with these people
People care about it, but I will never let it go if I hurt Ah Bao!"
Seeing her firm look, Li Huang knew that she must have a countermeasure in mind, but he still asked: "You really don't need my help?" [
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Are you afraid that I can't solve it?"
Li Huang smiled slowly and hugged her gently, "I have never doubted your ability, but you must always remember that now that you are carrying our son in your belly, you must remain calm.
!”
Chu Yiqing nodded and said, "I won't hurt our son just for a few idlers, so don't worry!"
Li Huang nodded with a smile. Although he promised Chu Yiqing to do it himself, he secretly killed and exiled those arrested in the restaurant. Suddenly, those rumors were stopped.
It was quiet for a few days.
Five days later, Chu Yiqing went to Prince Qian's Mansion for an appointment on time. However, this time, she did not dress simply like the previous times. Instead, Yingrun found out the sky silk dress that Li Huang had given her and held it.
He made a bunch of cloud buns, and even took out a pair of jade hair and face that he had collected before, and put them all on.
Yingrun took the mirror and looked at Chu Yiqing carefully. She couldn't help but sigh: "The young lady is dressed like a fairy in the sky. She is so beautiful that people dare not look directly at her!"
Chu Yiqing stood in front of the mirror and turned around slowly. Although his belly was a little big and his figure was a little out of shape, fortunately, the silk fabric that day was really well-deserved. It was said to be made from silkworms called celestial silkworms in the Tianshan Mountains.
.The silkworm sucks the essence of the sun and moon on the Tianshan Mountains. Like the snow lotus, it is a rare treasure in the world. Moreover, this silkworm only spins silk once in its life. The fabric used for such a dress requires the spit of thousands of silkworms.
In addition, hundreds of handsome unmarried weaver girls worked for a year to weave, so the silk material on this day was extremely expensive, with a piece of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Previously, Chu Yiqing disliked the silk material on this day.
It was too expensive, and she was not sure when she would go to the ground, so she never wore this dress. Now that she wears it, every move she makes is filled with white light, like a goddess descending to earth.
"Let's go!" Chu Yiqing said calmly and slowly walked out of the room.
Yingrun quickly followed.
At this moment, dozens of gorgeous carriages were parked in front of Prince Qian's Mansion.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Qian's Mansion, as soon as it stopped, Mrs. Yang and Yang Mo'er came up to greet Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing slowly got out of the car and said a few words to Mrs. Yang. A housekeeper had already come over there and took Chu Yiqing and others into Prince Qian's Mansion.
In terms of grandeur, Prince Qian's Mansion is naturally not as grand as Prince's Mansion. However, there are many rockeries and ponds in Prince Qian's Mansion, and the scenery is quiet and quiet.
Along the way, Mrs. Yang followed her, looking a little worried, as if she also realized that today was a Hongmen Banquet.
Chu Yiqing walked with a calm expression. When no one had any ideas, he gently shook Mrs. Yang's arm to comfort her.
Seeing that Chu Yiqing was so calm, Mrs. Yang's nervous expression softened a little, and she slowly relaxed.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people sitting in the pavilion in the backyard. Qi Yunluo, dressed in a green dress, was talking to people with a smile. When he saw Chu Yiqing coming from a distance, he stood up. He happily greeted Chu Yiqing. When he got close, he grabbed Chu Yiqing's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Chu is finally here. I thought Sister Concubine Chu was not coming!"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and was about to speak when he heard someone sneer coldly: "We clearly know that today is Princess Qian's birthday, but some people are late and don't tell them, and they also dress deliberately to make the uninformed People looked at it and thought it was Concubine Chu’s birthday today!”
Chu Yiqing turned around and looked over, and it turned out to be Princess Jue Liu Jun. Unexpectedly, this person still didn't know how to restrain herself until now!
As soon as Liu Jun shouted, everyone turned their attention to Chu Yiqing's sky silk dress and the jade jewelry on her head. Everyone's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Qi Yunluo was wearing a green narrow-sleeved skirt today, and the jewelry on her head was also jadeite, but the quality was far inferior to the ones on Chu Yiqing's head. She touched the jewelry on her head in embarrassment. The long hairpin smiled and said: "It turns out that Sister Chu Concubine also likes jade, but the set of jadeite headsets on Sister Chu Concubine's head, both in terms of material and carving, are extremely rare. I'm afraid it's hard to find in the whole world, not to mention Li Guo. Get a second pair!”
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and didn't give any explanation at all.[
Qi Yunluo originally came to Chu Yiqing's rescue, but now that Chu Yiqing did not accept her favor, he immediately felt a little embarrassed. For a moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion became a little stiff.
Chu Yiqing sat down calmly, completely ignoring the awkward atmosphere.
Liu Jun sneered again: "Concubine Chu, you came just in time. We were just talking about the rumors circulating in the capital recently. Now that the owners of these rumors are here, why don't we stop guessing and ask Concubine Chu for confirmation? how?"
Chu Yiqing raised his lips slowly. These people really couldn't hold their breath. In this way, they can fight quickly and have time to go back to the Prince's Mansion for lunch! Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows lightly and asked: "What rumors?"
Liu Jun couldn't help laughing: "Don't Concubine Chu know? Oh, this rumor has spread so much that even the storytellers in the teahouse have made up jokes to listen to it!"
Liu Jun was stunned, and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yiqing. Although Chu Yiqing had a smile on her face, her eyes were cold. She felt excited in her heart, and she didn't dare to say where she was.
"Sister Concubine Chu, we all said it was a rumor. Rumors only stop the wise. None of us here took it seriously!" Qi Yunluo suddenly advised her.
"Some rumors will naturally dissipate after a long time, but if they are slander or deliberate frame-up, they may not dissipate so easily! Do you still remember the oil shortage incident back then? Some people spread rumors first, and then some people took the opportunity to hoard them.
Everyone should know what the outcome will be like in the end, right?" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
The oil shortage at that time was deliberately caused by the Shangguan family, but many traders took the opportunity to spread rumors and hoard, and some rebel groups took the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble. After the oil shortage ended, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter to prevent rumors from spreading.
In the name of the matter, the three major imperial merchants except the Shangguan family were killed. Even the later Shangguan family did not escape. A large part of the Shangguan family's property was transferred to the national treasury. Now even Shangguan Yunyi has disappeared.
When the people present thought of the oil shortage incident that year, their expressions varied, and for a moment they were all murmuring.
Seeing the different expressions of the people present, Liu Jun started to care about it and said with a smile: "Just now Concubine Chu was pretending to know everything. It turns out she knows everything. In this case, Concubine Chu will explain to everyone
Just give it a try!”
"Explanation?" Chu Yiqing turned around and looked at Liu Jun coldly, "So, Princess Jue also believes these rumors?"
Liu Jun was about to admit it, but seemed to realize something, so he said: "I don't believe it, but this matter is related to the reputation of the royal family. Concubine Chu is just a little concubine, so naturally she won't care so much, but I
Princess Yuqian is the official concubine and the face of the dynasty. Now that something like this has happened, we should ask about it. Otherwise, if the news reaches the ears of the Queen Mother in the palace, it will be difficult for Concubine Chu to explain.
?”
Chu Yiqing sneered: "In that case, please ask Princess Jue to investigate this matter thoroughly on behalf of the Queen Mother. I also want to know who is spreading rumors behind the scenes to damage the royal family's power!"
Qi Yunluo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We want to investigate, but this rumor has been circulating for so long and has no beginning or end, so it is indeed difficult to handle!"
Liu Jun originally wanted to hold Chu Yiqing accountable, but now she wanted to find out the whole story for Chu Yiqing. She was a little frustrated, but she couldn't keep her word, after all, she had just shown off her airs as a princess.
"What if we can find out the whole story?" Chu Yiqing asked quietly.
Qi Yunluo quickly said: "Of course she will be charged with being disrespectful!"
Chu Yiqing nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I am the crown prince's concubine appointed by the emperor himself. If you are disrespectful to me, you are disrespectful to the emperor. If you are disrespectful to the emperor, how should you deal with it according to the national laws of Li country?"
At this moment, Mrs. Yang suddenly said: "I heard that my husband said that this crime of disrespect can be punished by being exiled to the army, or punished by the nine tribes! Now these people are making rumors and slandering the emperor. I am just looking at you, even if
If you don’t kill the nine tribes, it’s not an exaggeration to fear that they will be divided into pieces by five horses!”
As soon as Mrs. Yang said this, she heard a banging sound in the pavilion, and someone sat on the ground. Everyone turned to look, but they didn't expect that it was Guan Liu'er, who had already turned pale with fear and was shaking all over.
"Liu'er, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Guan stepped forward, took Guan Liu'er's hand and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing turned his face and looked Guan Liuer up and down. Guan Liuer quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Chu Yiqing's eyes.
Mrs. Guan quickly stood up and said: "My little daughter is ill and can't accompany you ladies anymore. Let's go first!"
After Mrs. Guan finished speaking, she pulled Guan Liu'er and was about to stand up when she saw Mrs. Yang slowly walking forward and sneered: "Mrs. Guan, Miss Guan, it's better to speak clearly before leaving!"
Madam Guan was startled, and intuitively pulled Guan Liu'er behind her, asking Madam Yang: "What do you mean, Madam Yang? What do you want us to say?"
"I have to ask Miss Guan. In this room full of people, when they heard that making this rumor was a crime of disrespect, Miss Guan was the only one who was so frightened that she fell to the ground!" Mrs. Yang stared at Guan coldly.
Liu'er.
Guan Liuer hid behind Mrs. Guan, speechless.
"Mrs. Yang, my little girl is just timid. It's not surprising that she fainted after hearing what Mrs. Yang said was so bloody!" Mrs. Guan said coldly.
"Really?" Mrs. Yang sneered, "Madam, why did I hear that this rumor came from your house?" Mrs. Yang looked back, suddenly staring at Guan Liu'er and asked coldly: "Then
Mrs. Lan is Miss Guan’s nanny?”
When Guan Liu'er heard this, her face turned even more livid, her body softened, and she knelt down on the ground again.
As a result, Guan Liu'er stopped asking herself, and even Mrs. Guan's expression changed!
Beside Chu Yiqing, Liu Jun's face turned pale with anger. She was really blind back then. How could she fall in love with such a big-breasted woman? No wonder she couldn't get into the eyes of Prince Chu. Read the full text of the Horror Ghost Ship!
Chu Yiqing sat calmly and let Mrs. Yang teach Mrs. Guan and her daughter a lesson for her.
Mrs. Guan looked at Guan Liu'er coldly again: "Can you say it now? If you don't say it, you will bear the charge of being disrespectful to the royal family! Princess Jue also said it just now, maybe it's
It will implicate the nine tribes!"
Guan Liu'er is Liu Jun's person, and she originally expected Liu Jun to say something for her. Now after hearing what Mrs. Guan said, she raised her eyes to look at Liu Jun. Liu Jun could only say: "Yes, hurry up."
Tell me, why are such rumors spread, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
After hearing this, Chu Yiqing frowned and sneered in his heart, but he still held it back.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but someone saw it. She is Chu Yuan, the second young lady of the Chu family. I heard what she said! Think about it, the second young lady of the Chu family grew up with the concubine and the prince of Chu.
Yes, naturally I can see it most clearly, is what she said still false?" Guan Liu'er immediately shouted loudly.
When Guan Liuer shouted, someone in the crowd cursed fiercely. Others couldn't hear it, but Chu Yiqing heard it. Looking along the sound, he saw Chu Yuan hiding in a corner behind the crowd.
, his face was now a bit blue and white, his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe it, and he stared straight at Guan Liu'er.
Secretly giving Yingrun a wink, Yingrun stepped forward and immediately picked up Chu Yuan from the crowd.
"Let me go, who are you? You dare to touch me?" Chu Yuan cursed coldly, stood up, and exposed his bulging belly.
None of the noble ladies had seen Chu Yuan just now, and they didn't know when she arrived. When they saw her now, they all started whispering.
Chu Yiqing also didn't expect that the person spreading the rumor was actually Chu Yuan. After all, Chu Yuan was from the Prince Chu's palace, and she was Chu Huan's biological sister. Now this biological sister personally spread the rumors about her biological brother and half-sister. What did she want to do with such unbearable rumors? Chu Yiqing thought that in the end, she would find Princess Qian or Princess Jue, but she did not expect that this person turned out to be Chu Yuan.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chu Yuan standing up. Everyone knew about Chu Yuan's relationship with Chu Huan and Chu Yiqing. If these rumors were told by Chu Yuan himself, then these rumors may not be rumors. !
At this moment, Qi Yunluo exclaimed: "How could it be Madam Murong? Madam Murong, aren't you and the Crown Prince of Chu the same brother and sister? Even if there are rumors that you and Concubine Chu's sister don't get along, they are half-sisters after all. You spread rumors and slandered your brother and sister, this..."
The people present were also full of surprise, and slowly, they began to murmur in their hearts. Normally, no one would expose their family scandals, unless it was...
Someone looked at Chu Yiqing, and the look in their eyes turned from suspicion to contempt. Chu Yiqing knew that some people had begun to believe the rumor!
Chu Yuan stood there, his face flushed, and whispered: "If I say I didn't spread rumors, I'm afraid you won't believe it. Anyway, I didn't slander them. It's just that I really can't stand the way they treat Third Sister. That's right! My good brother said that he and my third sister are from the same mother, but he ignored my third sister and only helped this half-sister! My eldest brother has always treated this half-sister since he was a child. Just fine, because Chu Yiqing was not born to the Zheng family, my eldest brother had longed for Chu Yiqing, and there was an unusual ambiguity between the two. This is a fact known to everyone in the Chu Palace!" Chu Yuan raised his head. He suddenly said, "If you don't believe me, ask Chu Shaozheng, the book boy who grew up with my eldest brother!"
After hearing what Chu Yuan said so confidently, he also revealed Chu Huan's personal servant. Several noble ladies sitting around shook their heads one after another, looked at Chu Yiqing, and slowly did it. Change.
Chu Yiqing didn't expect that Chu Yuan would admit so generously and involve Chu Shaozheng. If she called Chu Shaozheng up for questioning, then Chu Shaozheng might have turned to hatred because of love. What words could have tarnished Chu Huan's reputation?
She frowned, and for a moment she had some tricks up her sleeve. After all, she was just a killer in modern times. She was used to fighting and killing in a straight line. If she really wanted to fight these noble ladies, she still lacked the skills to do so.
When Mrs. Yang saw that the last person involved was Chu Yuan, she was a little stunned for a moment, and she suddenly said something like Liu Chuanqiu.
Although Chu Yiqing did not expect such a situation today, if she did not speak out and let it continue like this and sit idly by, not only would Chu Yiqing and Chu Huan be embarrassed, but her own daughter would also be involved. He immediately stood up and sneered: "It turns out that the second sister is here to save Chu Feng!"
When Chu Yiqing said this, Madam Yang immediately said: "So Madam Murong made up such rumors because the Crown Prince of Chu refused to save Miss Chu San? But as far as I know, the Crown Prince personally He ordered people to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison. No matter how powerful the prince of Chu is, he can't be bigger than the prince, right? Madam Murong and Miss Chu San are close sisters, but it seems a bit slandering her eldest brother and eldest sister for the sake of her own sister. Is it too much?"
Chu Yuan was startled, then turned to look at Mrs. Yang and said coldly: "I didn't slander them, it's the truth. My eldest brother has always liked Chu Yiqing in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to get married for so many years!"
Mrs. Yang said coldly: "Mrs. Murong, don't forget that my daughter has just been engaged to the Crown Prince of Chu. What do you mean by saying this now? If the Crown Prince of Chu originally intended to get married, why did the Second Miss Chu bring the Miss Wu family back?
Mother’s family?”
Although Chu Yuan is the second young lady of the Chu Palace, but now that she has done such a thing, the Chu Palace may not be able to tolerate her. In this case, in terms of status, she is naturally not as noble as Yang Xin's wife, so Mrs. Yang will also
No mercy left for her at all!
Previously, everyone was too shocked by the appearance of Chu Yuan. Now when they heard what Mrs. Yang said, they thought about how Chu Yuan and Wu Fangting often visited the Prince of Chu's Mansion in the past few days. Now Chu Huan is engaged to Miss Yang's family, so Chu Yuan
I must be angry in my heart, but no matter how angry I am, I can't make up such a lie. Thinking about it this way, it is still too far-fetched.
"Second Miss, even if the eldest son wants to expose your fake pregnancy, you can't slander the eldest son like this!" Suddenly, Fang's voice sounded, and everyone was stunned. They all looked at Chu Yiqing and remained silent.
's woman.
Chu Yuan's eyes widened in panic. She was only focused on dealing with Chu Yiqing before and didn't see Fang standing behind Chu Yiqing. Now Fang suddenly revealed the fact that she was fake pregnant. She was stunned at the same time.
The whole body is filled with fear. Now that she has offended the Chu Prince's Mansion, Chu Zhantian and Chu Huan will definitely not be able to spare her. If they lose the Murong Mansion's last support, then...
Chu Yuan's panicked look said everything. In an instant, everyone seemed to understand and couldn't help but start talking in low voices.
"It turns out that she faked her pregnancy to defraud the Murong family's property!"
"No wonder she said such outrageous things. It turned out that she wanted to discredit the Prince of Chu and was afraid that the Prince of Chu would expose her fake pregnancy!"
"For this kind of person, for his own benefit, he can even fabricate such lies and betray his own brother and sister. What else can't he do? It's simply terrifying!"
…
Listening to everyone's discussion, Chu Yuan's face turned pale.
Chu Yiqing nodded with satisfaction toward Fang. She was indeed right. Fang was indeed a talent that could be made!
Chu Yuan suddenly looked at Qi Yunluo, as if he was about to say something, but Qi Yunluo said first: "It turns out that it is this kind of woman who is stirring up trouble. She has really polluted our ears and eyes! If someone comes, drive them out. From now on,
This kind of person is not allowed to enter Prince Qian’s Mansion!”
Chu Yiqing smiled coldly, stopped Qi Yunluo and said: "Wait a minute, this matter is not over yet!"
