"Huang'er, my mother and concubine know that you are deeply in love with Yiqing, but... you were a prince at that time and could marry one woman. But as an emperor, how can you only have one woman? If you don't like those women, you can marry them back.
Just put it in the palace!" Concubine Qing couldn't describe the feeling in her heart at the moment. She envied Chu Yiqing, and even felt a little jealous. As a woman, Chu Yiqing had too much!
Li Huang suddenly laughed softly, "Does the concubine want me to give up the throne?"
Qing Fei was startled, and the expression on her face changed rapidly, turning green and white, which was indescribably wonderful.
"Okay, today the two children came to quarrel with the mother and concubine all day long. The mother and concubine have also worked hard, so let's go to bed early. As for the matter of entering the house tomorrow, I think it is still a bit hasty, so it is better to wait for a few days!" Li Huang said slightly
He raised his eyebrows, "Although the overall situation in the court has been decided, if my father does not abdicate for a day, there will still be changes in the end!"
Concubine Qing's face turned even paler, and she was about to say something, when she saw Li Huang turned around and walked out.[
Concubine Qing stood there in a daze, and her body began to tremble after a long time.
"Old madam, old madam!" Luping hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "How are you?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Concubine Qing was finally helped by Lu Ping to sit down, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Lu Ping stood aside, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Chu Yiqing and Mrs. Huangfu were waiting on the carriage outside the garden. It took a long time before they saw Li Huang come out.
"Let's go, it's getting late!" Li Huang got on his horse and ordered quietly without any expression on his face.
"Yes!" The guard quickly asked the coachman to set off.
Mrs. Huangfu glanced back and said in a low voice: "Concubine Qing didn't send it out because she was afraid that she would cause trouble with the Crown Prince!"
Chu Yiqing tucked the corner of the quilt for Blessing and said softly: "Mom, don't take today's matter to your heart!"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed and said: "I have been with Concubine Qing for a long time, how can I not understand her thoughts? Speaking of which, she is right to have such thoughts. You have a special status. It is fortunate that you are a woman and married to a prince.
Master, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life! Mother knows that you have a strong personality and can't be idle, but you are getting married now, and you can't show your face outside like before! Wait for the prince
Now that I have ascended the throne and become emperor, you have entered the palace, and the things in the palace alone are enough to keep you busy. Mother also advises you that it is time to calm down!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said, "Does Mom also think that I am an ambitious person?"
"You are not ambitious, you are restless and like to play with things in the field!" Mrs. Huangfu stretched out her hand and tightened Chu Yiqing's hand, "But who made you choose this path? This
Everything in this world can never go as one wishes!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Mom, you worry too much. You only saw me entering the palace and being restrained, but you didn't see that in that position, I had greater rights, greater financial resources, and greater
Material resources change this society! If all the people in the world can be like our family, with harvests guaranteed despite droughts and floods, with full grain warehouses, and everyone living and working in peace and contentment, wouldn’t there be a greater sense of accomplishment?"
"Is the whole world like ours?" Mrs. Huangfu was startled, as if she didn't expect Chu Yiqing to have such thoughts, and immediately said, "Yiqing, I know you don't want to hear this, but these things
Son, it should have been done by the prince when he became the emperor. You can't "meddle" in it. You should listen to me and stay at home honestly and give birth to a few more children for the prince. This is how you will live your whole life!
"
Chu Yiqing laughed softly: "My mother was puckered when she heard Concubine Qing talking just now. It turns out she has the same thoughts as Concubine Qing!"
Mrs. Huangfu was speechless for a moment.
"Mom, I know what I'm going to do in the future, don't worry!" Chu Yiqing patted her hand as if comforting.
Mrs. Huangfu could only nod.
It was already dark when we returned to the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, we had already had dinner at the Bieyuan, and everyone dispersed.[
Chu Yiqing thought of Lu Ningxin's visit today and was about to call Hua Qi to ask. Before he could say anything, Yingrun said that Hua Qi wanted to see him.
"What a coincidence!" Chu Yiqing simply arranged his clothes and went out of the inner room.
On the floor outside, Hua Qi had been waiting respectfully for a long time. When he saw Chu Yiqing coming out, he quickly saluted and said hello.
"The academy is about to start school, isn't it? I was just going to ask you, do you have enough money this month? Are the book boys serving you doing their best?" Chu Yiqing motioned Hua Qi to sit down and asked with a smile.
"School will start the day after tomorrow! Don't worry, Aunt Chu. Everyone around me has followed you all the way from Lucheng. They are all very dedicated and have enough money!" Hua Qi quickly answered one by one.
"School is about to start the day after tomorrow? So soon!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "Look, I'm so busy these days that I haven't been able to take care of you. Do I still need to prepare some paper, ink, pen and inkstone?"
Hua Qi smiled and said: "I will naturally speak if necessary, so Aunt Chu doesn't have to worry. In fact, I came today to tell Aunt Chu something!"
Chu Yiqing looked at him calmly, "Okay, you say it!"
Hua Qi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Aunt Chu, it's about Miss Lu's family... I had unwanted thoughts about Miss Lu's family before, which made Auntie embarrassed. I know Auntie is determined to help me.
But now..."
Chu Yiqing looked at him quietly, seeming to encourage him to finish his words.
"Auntie, I admit that I have feelings for Ning Xin in my heart. From the chance encounter in Lucheng to the meeting again in the capital, I have always felt that this is fate. What's more, Ning Xin has a clear personality and is strong, just like
Like my aunt, she will definitely be my virtuous wife in the future, but I will be engaged to Yunxi first. Although Yunxi’s temperament is a little softer, she is gentle, pleasant and considerate. Since I have an engagement with her first,
You shouldn't have other thoughts, so I have made it clear to Miss Lu's side, so she won't have to embarrass herself because of me anymore!" Hua Qi lowered his head and finished in one breath.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I can tell what you are thinking about Ning Xin, but I really like that girl Ning Xin in my heart. Now because of my relationship, it is impossible for you to be ordinary in this life, so I am too
I want to do my best to arrange it for you! Ning Xin and Yun Xi have completely different personalities. With the two of them by your side, I feel relieved. But it also depends on your wishes. Your grandfather arranged for you and Hua
If Lin entrusts you to me, I will naturally try my best to help you. If you decide, I will not force you!"
Hua Qi nodded and said: "Yunxi has done nothing wrong. If I marry Miss Lu as an equal wife again, I will be sorry for her, so let this matter be like this. From the day after tomorrow, I will go to the academy and take the imperial examination.
I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to come back before, so if Miss Lu comes again, Aunt Chu can just help me block her!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "Okay!"
Hua Qi stood up again, cupped her fists and thanked her, talked about some schoolwork matters, and finally left.
After Hua Qi left, Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as Mrs. Lu made a fuss that day, Chu Yiqing gave up on letting Lu Ningxin be his equal wife, but Hua Qi was still worried.
Lu Ningxin, now it seems that this matter has been successfully resolved!
On the second day, Chu Yiqing specially prepared enough pens, inkstones, paper, and some changes of clothes for Hua Qi and Tie Shuan, and prepared to send them to the academy. This time, they stayed there for more than half a year, until September.
He returned home only after taking part in the imperial examination.
Xu Zhi was naturally reluctant to let go of Tie Shuan, and kept holding Tie Shuan's hand tightly along the way.
"It's only half a year, I said it would be soon!" Tie Shuan whispered, "If you want to talk, just talk to my aunt more!"
Xu Zhi nodded and whispered: "You don't have to worry about me. I'll take this opportunity to learn some medical skills from the ghost doctor. But you have to pay attention to your health inside. Although studying is important, your body is more important. If you are lacking anything, let me know."
If someone comes back with a message, send him whatever you want to eat. It’s not far away and I’ll deliver it to you!”
Tie Shuan smiled and said: "There is everything in the academy, so don't worry!"
Hua Qi stepped forward with a smile and said: "Okay, if you keep mumbling, I will become jealous!" [
Before Hua Qi finished speaking, he saw the boy running over in a hurry, holding a bundle in his hand, and said happily: "Master, just now Miss Xu's personal maid came and brought this, saying that Miss Xu came all night
The children's shirt made by me is for you!"
Tie Shuan took the opportunity and joked: "You're still talking about us. You, an unmarried little daughter-in-law, know how to care for others!"
Hua Qi's face turned red, but she still took the bundle and held it in her arms.
"Okay, let's get on the road quickly. It's not too late to come back and talk to each other after winning the top prize!" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and said with a smile.
Xu Zhi blushed with embarrassment and stepped aside obediently.
Tie Shuan respectfully saluted Chu Yiqing and whispered: "Please take care of Zhi'er, Aunt Chu!"
"You don't have to say it, just don't worry, but you have to promise me that you will study hard and take the exam well. I think you have real talent and study!" Chu Yiqing said seriously.
Tie Shuan and Hua Qi responded quickly.
"Okay, hurry up and get on the carriage. Go and clean up early. Don't forget to give these food to Master Yan for me!" Chu Yiqing warned again.
Ever since Master Yan once sent cured chicken and duck to Master Yan, he became addicted to it. When Hua Qi was on vacation a year ago, he kept talking about these things in front of Hua Qi. After hearing this, Chu Yiqing naturally felt good
I prepared some and asked Hua Qi to take them with me.
"Thank you Aunt Chu!" Hua Qi quickly thanked her.
"It's just a few chickens and a few ducks. Why thank you? Reading a good book is the best reward for me!" Chu Yiqing patted Hua Qi on the shoulder and said.
Hua Qi nodded quickly.
The carriage carried the two people's luggage, and the book boy followed behind the carriage, slowly driving away.
Xu Zhi stood next to Chu Yiqing, biting his lip and waving his hands desperately.
Chu Yiqing turned around and held Xu Zhi's somewhat cold hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Tieshuan has been studying since he was a child, and he will definitely go to high school this time!"
Xu Zhi nodded quickly.
After Hua Qi and Tieshuan started school, A Bao and Hua Lin also started classes on the second day. The house suddenly became a lot quieter. Chu Yiqing was also at home accompanying him to give blessings. Unexpectedly, without a moment of leisure, the concierge over there
They came in with the posts, and it was the noble ladies in the city. Counting this, this was the second time they had submitted the posts. Although Chu Yiqing didn't want to see them, but it had been a long time, and he was afraid that there would be bad rumors outside.
So someone replied to the post, saying that the emperor is seriously ill now and it is not easy to host a big banquet. He just invited me to have a gathering at the mansion tomorrow.
As soon as the lady's affairs were arranged, the concierge came to report that the Crown Prince of Chu was here to visit, so Chu Yiqing invited Chu Huan in.
Chu Huan entered the flower hall and without saying a few words, he sent the wedding invitation to Chu Yiqing and said with a smile: "The date is set for February 18th!"
Chu Yiqing was startled and said with a smile: "So fast?"
"If it hadn't been delayed due to some things a year ago, this matter would have been done years ago! Now that the house is not crowded, it would be fun to hold a happy event!" Chu Huan smiled lightly, and then lowered his voice and said, " I'm afraid something is wrong with the Emperor. If the Emperor dies, I'm afraid I have to keep my filial piety to the country, and I'm afraid it will be delayed some more days!"
"Now that Concubine Wu is dead, King Qian heard that he also contracted the plague. His martial arts skills were demoted to the third level, so I'm afraid he can no longer make trouble. When the eldest brother was forced to get engaged due to the situation, he was a little careless. Now we can't be careless about this marriage. , otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Yang family!" Chu Yiqing just pretended not to hear Chu Huan's words behind him, smiled faintly, looked at the day again and said: "Calculating, there is still half a month, if it is faster Some are too late!"
"If we don't have a mistress at home, we won't be able to do many things!" Chu Huan wondered. Why didn't he want to make a big deal? The engagement was too hasty, and he knew he had wronged Yang Mo'er, but now there are only two men in the family, and even There are not many mothers-in-law who can take charge, so I am really nervous.
"Brother, don't worry about the manpower. I will send someone there. It just so happens that I am not busy these days, so I will often take Fang to have a look!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
When Chu Huan heard this, he felt relieved and quickly responded,
The next day, all the noble ladies were invited to the Prince's Mansion, but this time it was different from the previous one. Everyone knew that the overall situation had been decided and the Prince was about to ascend the throne. These noble ladies all came to flatter and flatter themselves, and they all came with gifts. But Chu Yiqing declined them all.
Now that the emperor was seriously ill, Chu Yiqing could not be too public, so he gathered together and chatted some gossip, and then asked Dangui to tell a story about "Journey to the West", especially the part about "Tang Sanzang's Farewell to the Daughter's Country" , just listen to Dangui slowly saying: "I am full of tenderness, but he is more determined to go. It's just a pity for fate. He can't cherish it with all his words, but silently wishes peace. It's often difficult for people to fulfill their wishes in the world. Look at the bright moon again. There have been times when the circle has gone far away, but from now on, my dreams will haunt me..."
The ladies were all fascinated by what he heard. Finally, they even took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their eyes. After Dangui finished speaking, the scene became even more silent.
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but ask: "But this story is not good? Why is everyone sad?"
Everyone couldn't help wiping their tears and bursting into laughter. Mrs. Yang said first: "Empress Chu, don't blame us for bothering you by sending posts over and over again. It's just such a good show. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until Concubine Chu enters the palace." Just out of sight!"
After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, she also felt that something was wrong. A woman in the inner chamber could not discuss government affairs unreasonably. She quickly shut up, with a look of panic on her face.
Chu Yiqing knew that this story brought out the true character of these people, so he immediately smiled and said: "The prince is from the East Palace, so I naturally have to move to the palace, especially since the emperor has been feeling unwell recently. I You should visit the palace more often!"
Mrs. Yang then smiled, quickly wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, cheered up and said: "The Emperor is not feeling well, let's get together. If someone with an intention spreads the news to the palace, Concubine Chu will be in trouble again." Okay, now that everyone has met Concubine Chu, that’s it, let’s all disperse!”
When everyone heard this, they all responded and stood up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Yang finally left, and Chu Yiqing sent her to the door. She stopped, looked around, and then whispered: "Actually, I have something to tell Concubine Chu today, and let Concubine Chu do it well."
Prepare!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and asked: "What is it?"
"The emperor has already signed the edict of abdication. The prince can ascend the throne at any time, but I am afraid that there will be something wrong with Concubine Chu in your appointment as queen!" Mrs. Yang said in a low voice, "Although I am a woman,
This matter should not be told to Concubine Chu, but Concubine Chu has been a life-saving grace to our mother and daughter. For our master, I risked my life and persuaded him to support Concubine Chu. As for the others..."
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "So that's what happened, thank you Madam Yang for reminding me!"
Mrs. Yang added: "These ladies who came today actually secretly admire Concubine Chu's temperament. They know that Concubine Chu is a true-tempered person, so I can make friends with her secretly!"
Chu Yiqing immediately understood what Mrs. Yang meant, but she was used to living alone, not forming cliques, and the only people she knew well were only a few people she could really talk to.
"Mother Concubine Chu, everyone is looking at you eagerly now. If you are willing to take the initiative to show your kindness, you must do it right. For the future of Concubine Chu, and for the future of the two children, Concubine Chu should also do more.
Make some plans!" Mrs. Yang said again seriously.
Unable to bear to offend Mrs. Yang's kindness, Chu Yiqing said: "Thank you, Mrs. Yang, for the reminder. I will pay more attention to it in the future!"
Seeing that Chu Yiqing agreed, Mrs. Yang had a smile on her face and said: "Mo'er will marry into the Chu family in half a month. Mo'er has been with me since she was a child. Although she has seen a lot of
I’ve heard a lot, but my temperament is a little softer, and I can’t compare to being as tough as Xin’er. I have a merciless request. If there is a chance in the future, I will teach Mo’er a lot!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Mrs. Yang has thought things through so carefully that I feel inferior. Remembering that Mo'er is not bad at all! Xin'er has Xin'er's advantages, but Mrs. Lu's personality is a bit too strong.
!”
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she knew something in her heart and said with a smile: "My sister is like this. Not only is she like this, but my brother-in-law is even more upright. But Concubine Chu, don't worry, I will definitely have a lot of opportunities if I have one."
Give my sister and brother-in-law a beating!"
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly and nodded.
In the evening, Li Huang came back from the palace with a bad look on his face. Chu Yiqing cooked a few side dishes himself and brought them to the study.
"I'm just going out to eat, why do I need you to bring it in personally?" Li Huang put down the book in his hand, quickly stepped forward to take the tray and put it on the table. He took Chu Yiqing's hand and whispered.
"I saw you went into the study with a frown on your face as soon as you came back, but what happened?" Chu Yiqing asked softly in his arms.
Li Huang hesitated slightly and did not answer. Instead, he first asked Yingrun to make two cups of tea. He specifically ordered the tea to be made with spring water.
Although the blessing came out at only eight months old, he was healthy and strong, not like a premature baby at all. Li Huang and Chu Yiqing suspected that it was the effect of the holy spring, so they used the holy spring water to soak in the tea business every day.
.
Seeing that Li Huang seemed to have something important to say, Chu Yiqing was not in a hurry. He put the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Let's eat first. I cooked it myself. It tastes the same as before."
smell?"
Hearing Chu Yiqing talk about the past, Li Huang couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart. He raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I've been neglecting you these days. I always go out early and come back late. I also have memorials to approve when I come back..."
"This is what you should do to be a good emperor. Many emperors in history suffered from such a bad health!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, "Everyone wants to climb up to that position because they want to see the scenery on the surface of that position. Who can
See how hard it is to be in that position?" Chu Yiqing said as he laid out the dishes for him.
Li Huang whispered: "You always see things more clearly than others!"
"Okay, let's eat quickly. We'll talk about it later, don't be in a hurry!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
Li Huang lowered his head and started eating. After a while, Yingrun brought the tea in.
After Li Huang finished his meal, he took a slow sip of the tea and then said: "Father has issued an edict and will abdicate in ten days!"
Chu Yiqing's hand holding the tea paused. For some reason, she remembered what Mrs. Yang said today. Could it be related to the emperor's abdication?
"Is it about the establishment of the queen?" Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and asked.
"You are really smart!" Li Huang said angrily, "These people are just too lazy to worry about things. I haven't even ascended to the position of emperor, and they started to look for the position of queen!"
