When Chu Mingyang heard that his grandfather had summoned him for no reason, he asked the servant who sent the message, "Did Princess Wang just go to see my grandfather?"
The servant shook his head and said, "As far as the second lady is concerned, there is no such thing."
Chu Mingyang knew how to deal with others, and had already taken care of the people serving his grandfather, so if the eldest sister had not gone to see his grandfather, then there should be nothing wrong.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of marrying the King of Chu.
In this way, she can go out with peace of mind.
However, when she entered the courtyard gate, the old steward hurriedly came forward and said: "Second Miss, I want you to kneel outside first."
Chu Mingyang was startled, "Kneeling? Why?"
The old steward said: "This is what the master meant. Second Miss, don't ask. The master is furious. You'd better kneel down first!"
Chu Mingyang knew her grandfather's majesty and did not dare not to kneel down. She was unwilling to just kneel down. She asked: "Steward, can you tell me what I did wrong?"
The steward sighed softly, "Auntie Xi has been here. Second Miss, why do you need to mess with Princess Chu?"
When Chu Mingyang heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and said, "I want to see my grandfather. I have something to say."
The steward was embarrassed and said: "Second Miss, you'd better kneel down first."
"I want to see my grandfather. I have something to defend." A slave complained, and her grandfather wanted to punish her? Is this still decent?
A tea cup was smashed out of the room and shattered on the ground. The fragments splashed on Chu Mingyang's body. She was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back and knelt down with a thud.
The old steward sighed: "Second Miss, you'd better kneel down. The master will see you, and you will always have time to defend yourself."
Even though Chu Mingyang was dissatisfied, he did not dare to do it again.
Chu Mingyang's father and mother were called over, and they went into the house and talked for a while before going out. Uncle Chu and his wife looked at their daughter kneeling on the ground, just sighed slightly and left.
After another moment of burning incense, I saw that the Minister of Rites had also arrived. He also talked for a while and left with a smile.
Chu Mingyang's knees hurt from kneeling, and he sat back for a moment, thinking about what was going on.
Chu Mingcui also entered the yard. When she saw Chu Mingyang kneeling on the ground, she frowned slightly, "I told you, but you didn't listen."
Chu Mingyang was really puzzled and asked: "Auntie, this old slave, came here today, and my grandfather punished me. Why does my grandfather pay so much attention to her words?"
Chu Mingcui said: "Second sister, you have always been smarter than me. You should understand that there are some things that cannot be said. I hate Yuan Qingling more than you do, but in front of Aunt Xi, I try to be restrained. She cannot be offended."
Chu Mingyang said coldly: "Can't you offend me? Then when I marry the King of Chu as a concubine, do I really have to look at her face?"
Chu Mingcui looked at her and felt a sense of joy in her heart for some reason, "You will not marry King Chu. My grandfather has decided to marry you to King Ji as his concubine. Just now, my grandfather passed the news to my parents and came here to discuss it."
This matter."
"King Ji?" Chu Mingyang jumped up and screamed: "I don't agree!"
Chu Mingcui pressed her shoulders, lowered her voice and said sternly: "At this juncture, please don't anger my grandfather. I might as well tell you that my grandmother lost her voice just because she said a wrong sentence. The same is true for married couples. Don't think that you
How special can you be? It really offended my grandfather. He married you to a trafficker and a lackey, and you could only cry and get into the sedan chair."
Chu Mingyang shook his head, his face turned pale, and he looked at Chu Mingcui in horror, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
Chu Mingcui lowered his voice and said: "Do you still remember that time when I returned home and told you that my grandfather wanted you to marry the King of Chu as his concubine? You said you could see my little thoughts, but I was guessing what my grandfather was thinking.
?The King of Qi is the grandson of my grandfather, and my grandfather will definitely support him as the crown prince. However, King Qi is useless, and you see it in your eyes. My grandfather thinks that he cannot support the King of Qi. Who do you think he will choose?"
"Who?" Chu Mingyang asked subconsciously.
"Prince Ji!" Chu Mingcui smiled sadly, "The funny thing is that I bet on the wrong thing. I thought that as the legitimate son, as long as my grandfather gave him a little push, he would be able to sit on the throne of the prince. It's a pity that he is just a loser. Now
Prince Ji has returned to the court with meritorious service, and the emperor has given him a yellow robe. It seems that he will be reused. Prince Ji is the eldest son, and Princess Ji is seriously ill in bed. If you marry her, at least you won’t have to wait too long for the position of princess."
Chu Mingyang slowly came to his senses, "What about the King of Chu? Didn't my grandfather think highly of the King of Chu?"
Chu Mingcui explained: "The King of Chu's mother-in-law, the Concubine Xian, and the Queen Mother are both from the Su family. My grandfather has been fighting with the Su family all his life. Do you think it is possible for my grandfather to help the King of Chu and strengthen the Su family?"
"So," Chu Mingyang stared at her, "it was because you saw this clearly that you helped Jinghou and Yuan Qingling design King Chu in the Princess Mansion?"
Chu Mingcui said: "At least, I think I did not make a mistake in this step. If I marry King Chu, once King Ji gains power, he will not be able to tolerate King Chu."
"But I don't understand, why didn't grandpa try harder? Why did he choose to support King Ji and abandon King Qi's brother-in-law?" Although Chu Mingyang has a clear mind, he still can't see these things as clearly as Chu Mingcui.
Chu Mingcui sighed, "King Ji is at the top of his game and he is sure of victory. Grandpa is the icing on the cake. His ultimate goal is to protect his grandson King Qi. With this support and kindness, once King Ji ascends to the great treasure in the future, he will kill all the people he worries about.
Grandfather can still say a few words for King Qi. This is just my guess, but it is very close to ten."
Chu Mingyang digested this information, remained silent for a while, and said: "So, if I marry Prince Ji as a concubine, I might eventually become the queen?"
"The opportunity is great!" Chu Mingcui said.
Chu Mingyang was speechless and pondered what Chu Mingcui said.
After a while, the old steward came out and called Chu Mingyang to come in.
Chu Mingyang's legs were numb from her knees, and Chu Mingcui had to support her before she could walk in.
She entered the house and knelt down, "My granddaughter knows she was wrong and begs her grandfather to punish her."
There was no expression on Chu Shoufu's face, and his eyes were even more indifferent, "Who told you that you would marry the King of Chu as a concubine?"
Chu Mingcui leaned over and said softly: "Returning to my grandfather, it was my granddaughter who told my second sister."
"Where did you get the news?" Chu Shoufu stared at her with cold eyes that made Chu Mingcui's heart tremble.
Chu Mingcui was startled. Didn't his grandfather discuss this matter with his parents? His mother ordered someone to send a letter to inform her.
"This... my mother said it. My mother said it was my grandfather who mentioned it." Chu Mingcui had no choice but to answer bravely.
Chu Shoufu sneered, "So, you think that if I mention this matter, it will definitely happen? What has developed your arrogant temperament? Who taught you to be arrogant and domineering? Who told you that the Chu family can be superior to others?
Above the royal will? Who gave you the courage to provoke Princess Chu?"
Chu Mingyang couldn't help but argue, "Grandpa, it's really not my granddaughter who offends her, it's her who is really hateful."
Chu Shoufu stared at her and said slowly and coldly: "If anything happens to Princess Chu's fetus, I want you to pay with your life!"
