In the Palace of Heaven and Earth, after Sun Mingfa and Luan Er left, Ying Qian couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Empress, why is the punishment so light? That Luan Er has only been fed and clothed for a few days, and he hasn't learned how to divorce his wife.
If you abandon your son, you should give him a lesson!"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and said: "This kind of person will not be angry even if he rushes back to Chu Han to return to his original form. But if we push him back like this, he will only be unconvinced and think that I should not interfere with his family affairs. The best result is
I just want him to see clearly who is good to him in this world!"
Yingqian thought for a while and then said: "Madam is still smart. I believe that in just a few days, Miss Song will definitely return to her parents' home, so that those who come with her can see how easy it is to marry this young lady?"
Chu Yiqing smiled softly and nodded, "That's what I mean!"
Chu Yiqing was talking to Yingqian when he saw Xiao Fuzi coming over in person and said respectfully: "Queen, your Majesty has asked this servant to ask, Prince Luo Guoyuan's concubine wants to see you. Is it convenient for you, Your Majesty?"
"Princess Yuan?" Chu Yiqing was startled and a little confused. These days when the Luo State envoys came to the city, Li Huang has been busy with this matter. However, since that day Li Huang rejected Prince Yuan's marriage proposal, and now the two countries are reconnecting.
During the negotiation of terms, at this juncture, what was Princess Yuan's intention when she came to see her?
"Since Princess Yuan brought it up, let's invite Princess Yuan to come and sit down!" Chu Yiqing thought about it and smiled.
Xiao Fuzi responded quickly.
An hour later, Chu Yiqing finished his lunch and took a nap. Someone was sent from the front to tell her that Princess Yuan would be arriving soon, so Chu Yiqing quickly asked Yingqian to help her dress up.[
Because she was meeting the wives of foreign envoys, Yingqian specially chose a palace dress with a left-hand curve for Chu Yiqing. It was made of bright red embroidered thick satin, inlaid with dots of pearls and jade, and her black and shiny hair
It was combed into a cloud bun, layered up layer by layer, and piled on the right back of the head like a cloud. Each layer was fixed with one or two small pearl hairpins in the middle. Then inserted at the top
A tortoiseshell phoenix hairpin with a long tassel of precious stones hanging from its mouth.
After they were dressed up, people outside came in to report, and Chu Yiqing took Yingqian out.
Princess Yuan had been waiting in the hall for a long time, but what surprised Chu Yiqing was that Princess Yuan was only dressed in a crow-blue plain dress, with no dark embroidery on the whole body, only three inlaid and three rolled cuffs, and embroidered with an auspicious picture of wealth and honor that did not end with ten thousand words.
The bun was also a simple style, without any decoration, just a simple silver hairpin was inserted, and there was no makeup on the face. When Chu Yiqing came, her expression was a little strange, as if she was embarrassed and smeared.
Despite the pain, he finally moved towards Chu Yiqing to bless his body.
"This is Princess Yuan? Come on, sit down quickly!" Chu Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile and said enthusiastically as a landlord.
Princess Yuan nodded awkwardly, and after Chu Yiqing sat down on the main seat, she also sat down beside her, looking at the soles of her feet with a very humble expression.
"Princess Yuan, you don't have to be so reserved. Considering your age, I should call you sister!" Seeing how special this Princess Yuan was, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but feel tempted and said with a smile.
"Empress, could you step aside so that we can talk alone?" Princess Yuan suddenly raised her eyes and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing was stunned. Princess Yuan's proposal was really out of the blue. Now they represent two countries. If they reject both the left and right, what if something happens...
Chu Yiqing looked a little embarrassed.
Princess Yuan whispered: "The Queen, I know this is an unkind invitation, but I really have something important to say to the Queen!"
Seeing her sincere expression, Chu Yiqing hesitated for a moment and whispered to Ying Qian, asking Ying Qian to lead her servants down.
Princess Yuan also rejected her own people.
In the hall, only Chu Yiqing and Princess Yuan were left.
Chu Yiqing was about to ask more questions, but he saw Princess Yuan suddenly stood up, walked in front of Chu Yiqing, and bowed respectfully to Chu Yiqing three times.
Chu Yiqing was stunned and quickly said: "What is the princess doing? Why are you giving such a big gift?" [
In fact, Prince Yuan and Princess Yuan were envoys, representing Emperor Luo. It was really inappropriate for Princess Yuan to give such a grand gift to Chu Yiqing.
"The Queen, this is my own expression of gratitude to the Queen for saving my life. Although it has been a long time coming, I still ask the Queen to accept it!" Princess Yuan bowed again.
When Chu Yiqing heard what Princess Yuan said, he was even more puzzled. He quickly stood up and asked, "What does Princess Yuan mean by this? Have we met before?"
Chu Yiqing had a photographic memory. If he had seen it before, he would definitely have an impression, but now he was completely confused.
Princess Yuan bit her lip, as if it was difficult to speak. However, thinking of the purpose of her coming and Queen Mother Jade's instructions, Princess Yuan could only whisper, "The Queen still remembers what happened to Yuelao in Luocheng more than ten years ago."
What happened to the temple? I was trapped in the Yuelao Temple at that time!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned, quickly stood up, stepped forward and took Princess Yuan's hand and said: "I'm sorry, no wonder you looked like this when you saw me just now..."
Princess Yuan gently shook her head and said: "I am really ashamed to talk about this kind of thing. People like me have no face to live in this world. If it weren't for not letting go of Xue'er..."
Princess Yuan sobbed softly.
Chu Yiqing suddenly understood the reason why Princess Yuan was dressed so plainly. She whispered: "The princess really shouldn't be like this. The princess was also a victim back then. The most disgusting thing was that monk. If the princess punished herself because of someone else's fault,
, wouldn’t it make the bad guy even more proud? We women should be strong!”
If others said this, Princess Yuan would definitely not listen, because no one would understand the pain. Every night, she soaked herself in the bathtub and stayed there all night, until her skin became wrinkled.
She didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to talk, and didn't even want to wake up, because when she woke up, she only felt pain. If, she only felt pain. If it weren't for Xiao Jiangxue holding her hand tightly in front of her bed.
, calling her mother again and again, she really doesn’t want to live in this world. But Chu Yiqing is different. Chu Yiqing was insulted before, but he had the courage to give birth to the child. He was even kicked out of the capital by the Chu Palace and exiled Chu
Han, this woman survived strong and has even become the mother of a country.
Perhaps it was because of this that Princess Yuan had the courage to come to Chu Yiqing and tell her what happened back then.
Chu Yiqing helped Princess Yuan up. This time, she pulled Princess Yuan to sit down and said with a smile: "After the incident at Yuelao Temple, the Jade Queen of your country once personally gave me a jade pendant, because that jade pendant
, and you also saved my two brothers. Speaking of which, you have already paid back the love we had back then!"
Princess Yuan whispered: "The Jade Queen back then, who is now the Queen Mother, is my biological sister!"
Chu Yiqing suddenly realized it, nodded and said: "No wonder the Jade Queen met me in person back then, that's why!"
Princess Yuan whispered: "No matter what, I still want to thank the Queen for saving my life. If the Queen hadn't discovered that tunnel, I'm afraid..."
"Princess Yuan, don't mention what happened back then. It's been so many years, we should look forward!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
Princess Yuan bit her lip, nodded and said, "Actually, I came here this time not only to say thank you to the Queen in person, but also for the marriage between my only daughter Jiangxue and the eldest prince!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Hasn't the Emperor already expressed his position on this marriage? Yi'er is still too young. He just celebrated his thirteenth birthday, and it's still too early to talk about marriage!"
Princess Yuan finally forced a smile on her face and said: "I have also heard about some of the Queen's ways of doing things. The Queen is a strange woman. Naturally, she is not the same as the people in the world. She does not want to use the eldest prince's marriage to achieve her goals.
**Purpose, today, I am just communicating with the Queen as a mother, not as an envoy from the Luo Kingdom!"
Chu Yiqing then let out a soft oh and said with a smile: "That's it! I just don't know why Princess Yuan insists on marrying her daughter to Li Guolai? To be honest, Princess Yuan has never met Yi'er, right?"
Princess Yuan sighed faintly, "It's really embarrassing to say that this time, before my prince came to Li State, he revealed the intention of getting married to Jiangxue. That child Jiangxue was really unruly and willful, and he secretly followed her here.
Li Guo, if it hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have walked out of my nunnery and chased after her personally. Who knew that as soon as Xueer entered Luo State, she would be abducted and trafficked by someone from the pavilion in Yucheng? Fortunately, she met her
The eldest prince, she is safe now, otherwise, we, mother and daughter, would have to suffer such a thing!"
As soon as Princess Yuan said that, Chu Yiqing remembered what Li Huang had mentioned to her about the Wanfang Pavilion in Yucheng a few days ago. She immediately understood it in her heart and nodded, "I see. In that case, Jiangxue County
Has the Lord seen my Yi'er?"
Princess Yuan nodded and said: "The eldest prince personally held a court in Yucheng, interrogated corrupt officials, sealed some pavilions, and rescued many abducted boys and girls. Xueer saw it with her own eyes at that time. Before returning home, she and my concubine
She personally said that she had already agreed to the marriage. In my opinion, Xueer was already interested in the eldest prince, so I took the liberty to come here, hoping to make acquaintance with the Queen and express my feelings as a mother.
Mind!"
Chu Yiqing never expected that during Abao's trip, he would bring back Taohua, and she was the Princess Jiangxue of the Luo Kingdom!
"Yier hasn't come back yet, I really don't know..." Chu Yiqing was a little embarrassed.
"The eldest prince doesn't know Xue'er's identity, so I would like to ask the Queen to convey it to you and see what the eldest prince means. If the eldest prince is also interested in our Xue'er, then this will be a good marriage made in heaven and earth.
They will eventually get married, and it will also be beneficial to the people of the two countries!" Princess Yuan said sincerely again.
Speaking of the people of the two countries, Chu Yiqing slowly raised his lips, "Actually, it seems that the emperor of your country was the first to provoke this situation, right?"
Princess Yuan smiled awkwardly and could only say: "In the past five years, the emperor has also tasted the price of failure. Nowadays, the people of Luo are in turmoil. Whether in agriculture or business, they have closed the country in isolation, causing heavy losses that cannot be remedied. So this time
Queen Mother Jade will convince the emperor to let my prince come and apologize to your country for the boatman incident that happened five years ago, and propose compensation measures and strategies!"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "In that case, I understand what Princess Yuan means, but everything has to wait for Yi'er to come back!"
Princess Yuan nodded and said: "This is natural. The Queen's handling of her children's marriage affairs is very different from others. She seems to care about the children's feelings."
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "That's natural. After all, that person lives a lifetime with the children, not with me!"
Princess Yuan was stunned. She didn't expect that this simple sentence actually contained a great truth that many parents in the world couldn't figure out.
After sending someone to send Princess Yuan away, Chu Yiqing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Madam, are you feeling complacent? The eldest prince is now very capable. As soon as he goes out, he is noticed by others. His mother even comes to propose marriage in person!" Ying Qian said with a smile.
"Complacent? I don't want A Bao to get married so early!" Chu Yiqing smiled bitterly, "I'm just afraid that if A Bao also has any affection for that Jiangxue, then this marriage..."
Chu Yiqing had always felt that Luo Guo would not give up. This time she took the initiative to seek peace, maybe it was still a trick. She could not let the tiger go back to the mountain again.
"The Queen, the eldest prince and the others are back. They are reporting important matters to the emperor in the royal study. The eldest prince sent Sun Leisheng beside him to come and pay homage to the queen first!" A guard reported outside the door.
Chu Yiqing said happily: "Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived. In that case, let Sun Leisheng come in first. It just so happens that I also have something to ask him!"
Yingqian responded quickly and went outside to call Sun Lei's face and called Sun Leisheng in.
Sun Leisheng entered the hall with a smile on his face and quickly saluted Chu Yiqing, "See Madam, how is your health?"
"Fortunately, Lei Sheng, did you want to come to see me, or did Abao ask you to come to see me?" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but tease Sun Lei Sheng.
Sun Leisheng touched his head and smiled sheepishly: "It's what the young master meant. Leisheng also wanted to see the madam. Leisheng thanked the madam for her kindness!"
"Okay, get up, you are well-informed!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help laughing, "I just have something to ask you. Can you see a pretty girl when you go to Yucheng this time?
?Rescued from Wanfang Pavilion!"
Sun Leisheng was startled, rubbed his head and said, "A dozen young women were rescued from Wanfang Pavilion this time. They are all beautiful. I wonder which one the madam is talking about?"
"You have such a stupid head, is there anyone who seems to care about Abao in particular?" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but scolded in a sweet voice.
Sun Leisheng chuckled: "Madam, don't worry, the young master is being honest when he goes out. He is definitely not messing around with any little girl. Besides, Miss Hualin is watching. It's enough for the young master to just deal with Miss Hualin!"
Chu Yiqing sighed. It seemed that he couldn't get anything out of Lei Sheng, so he turned to ask: "Where is Hua Lin? Why didn't she come back to the palace?"
Sun Leisheng immediately said: "Miss Hualin is outside Qiankun Palace. She is afraid that Madam will be angry with her and dare not come in. Let me come in first and see how Madam is feeling!"
When Chu Yiqing heard this, he immediately shouted outside the palace: "In that case, tell her not to come in, I don't want to see her either!"
As soon as Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he saw a red shadow floating in quickly from outside the hall. With a whoosh, Hua Lin hugged Chu Yiqing, and his head had already been gently pressed against Chu Yiqing's arms.
middle.
"Oh, how many times have I been fucked, and now Madam's body..." Upon seeing this, Yingqian quickly stepped forward to pull Hualin away.
"Yingqian, it's okay!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, but looking at Hua Lin in his arms, he said with a straight face: "Lin'er, it's useless even if you act coquettishly this time. You left the palace privately, and you almost returned the favor.
Something big has happened, and my godmother doesn’t want to forgive you this time!”
"Aunt Chu, you are my aunt, not your godmother!" Hua Lin was unwilling to admit that Chu Yiqing was her godmother. If she became Chu Yiqing's adopted daughter, wouldn't she and Abao be siblings?
, she doesn’t want it!
"You kid, why don't you listen to anything you say? Now that you are older, you are not suitable to live in the palace. I want to tell your elder brother that you can live in his house. What do you think?" Chu Yi
Qing frowned.
Hua Lin was stunned, and immediately raised his eyes to look at Chu Yiqing in shock, and said urgently: "Aunt Chu, are you telling the truth? I just came back, and I haven't had enough intimacy with you, why did you...
Auntie, I won’t go, I won’t go to eldest brother’s house!”
Seeing that she was cheating again, Chu Yiqing knew that it was not an option to continue like this, so he said: "No matter what, I have decided on this matter today. I will send someone to summon your eldest brother to the palace in a while and bring you to the palace."
Take it back, and you can live in Hua Mansion and think about your past behind closed doors!"
Seeing that Chu Yiqing seemed to be serious, Hua Lin quickly said: "Auntie, just punish me to think about my past in the palace. I will go back to the palace to think about the past behind closed doors. Don't worry, as long as you don't calm down, I will definitely do it this time."
Won’t come out!”
After Hua Lin finished speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind.
Chu Yiqing frowned. It seemed that she had been too pampered to Hua Lin over the years, and she was the only one who dared to disobey her orders like this.
"Yingqian, please send someone to the Hua Mansion later to tell Hua Qi to enter the palace!" Chu Yiqing turned his eyes and ordered Yingqian.
No matter what, Li Huang's flowers last time made sense. If Abao didn't like Hua Lin, he had better stop Hua Lin's idea as soon as possible, otherwise it would really delay Hua Lin.
Yingqian responded, but she was still a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Madam, if we really let Miss Hualin leave the palace like this, will it..."
"This is for her own good. Now that she's getting older, it's time to make some plans for her!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
