Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I don't know if it matters, but I heard from your maid that he was saved by His Highness Prince Liang, so he should be invited to come. Or, you don't think you need to invite him.
He can come over! Yes, after all, he is the one who saves people. You have to thank him. There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future!"
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "If you want to ask for a favor, it is a life-saving grace after all, so you should thank me face to face!"
Although Duke Cheng Guo was a man, he quickly thought of the key to the matter of falling into the water! Is the important thing the falling into the water? Of course not!
He believed that Mr. Zhang was better suited to handle this matter than him, so he did not say anything.
Jiang Xintong felt that it was better not to stay here, but one of her hands was still held by Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu would not let go, so she could only stay!
At this time, Chu Xinyuan had already returned to the front yard. He didn't see the person he wanted to see, and he couldn't inquire about it, so he just walked around and tried his luck.
At this time, a voice came: "Lao Wu, Lao Wu!"
Chu Xinyuan turned his head and saw Chu Juan waving at him with a smile.
Chu Xinyuan walked over and said: "Brother Three Emperors!"
Chu Juan walked lamely, but he didn't seem to care, and said affectionately: "When did you come? If I knew you were coming too, I would have been with you!"
Chu Xinyuan said: "I've been here for a while!"
At this time, Yue Xi walked over quickly.
Chu Xinyuan said: "Huh?"
Yue Xi said: "It has been done according to the prince's instructions!"
Chu Xun asked curiously: "Where did your entourage go? Why did you get so wet?"
Before Yue Xi could answer, Chu Xinyuan said calmly to Yue Xi: "Why don't you change into your wet clothes?"
Yue Xi said hurriedly: "After my subordinates have finished their work, they will report to the prince immediately and have not had time to change clothes."
"Go and change. There are many guests here today. Fortunately, only Brother Sanhuang is here, so we won't care. Otherwise, you, who are dressed in wet clothes, will not be picked on by others."
Yue Xi responded: "Yes!"
Chu Juan looked at Chu Xinyuan, and Chu Xinyuan explained: "He went to save someone!"
This is Dingyuan Hou's Mansion. Do we need the guards of Prince Liang's Mansion to save people? However, Chu Juan did not ask further. After all, they had a weak brotherhood and had almost no intersection before. After Chu Xinyuan was granted the title of Queen of Liang,
I also attended several banquets and gatherings in the palace, and I have just met him a few times, so I can’t have a deep conversation with him.
He wisely changed the subject and said: "There is a pavilion over there, why don't we brothers go over there and chat?"
Following the direction of his finger, the corner of a small pavilion was revealed among the green trees.
Chu Xinyuan nodded: "Very good!"
Most of my secret thoughts today will not come true, so I might as well go there to find some peace and quiet.
The two of them talked about some interesting things in Beijing and walked into the pavilion while talking.
Chu Xinyuan said as he walked: "I heard that the third brother has already made a marriage contract. He will only wait for the eldest brother to get married before choosing a date to consummate the wedding! Congratulations!"
Chu Juan smiled nonchalantly. He was a cripple and had faded out of the center of power early, but he still could not make the decision on his own marriage.
The marriage the emperor is referring to is to the legitimate daughter of Qingyuan Hou. The Qingyuan Hou Mansion is a third-class palace. The children of the Hou family have not produced courtiers above the fourth rank for four consecutive generations. They rely entirely on the ancestors' favor and salary to live a leisurely and happy life.
Ordinary days.
When the Duke of Qingyuan ascended the throne, he could only be the Duke of Qingyuan, so they also eagerly hoped that by virtue of marriage, they could continue to be a Marquis for another generation.
Although Chu Juan is disabled, he is still a prince. Even if he does not have the title of prince, his position as county king is still stable.
If we take a closer look at Chu Juan’s relationship, wouldn’t we be able to protect one more generation of marquis?
Therefore, the Qingyuan Houfu is very satisfied with the emperor's proposed marriage.
Chu Juan said: "My brother's marriage has been decided, and the fifth brother's marriage should be coming soon. According to the order, it will be you and the fourth child after me!"
The second prince is already dead, won’t it be his turn to be the fourth and fifth prince?
Chu Xinyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "I... am already married!"
Chu Juan: "..."
He laughed and said: "I thought that the fifth brother did not recognize the marriage, so he wrote the divorce letter. Why is it that now that the divorce letter has been approved by the father, the fifth brother still thinks that he is married?"<
/p>
Chu Xinyuan: "..."
His mood is very complicated.
He has to carry this responsibility all the time.
However, because he was carrying this blame, even if he saw Mu Qingyu again, his reputation would not be right and his words would not be smooth!
Mu Qingyu gave him the glory and the shame to herself, but God knows, he didn't want it.
Everyone thought that he looked down on Mu Qingyu and was cold and ruthless. Everyone said that Mu Qingyu was an abandoned daughter of the Mu family, an abandoned concubine of the King of Liang, a commoner woman with nothing.
But who knew that he was the one who was abandoned?
Mu Qingyu's current wealth in the capital is beyond the reach of Prince Liang.
Mu Qingyu's connections in the capital were also beyond his reach.
Also, Mu Qingyu's footsteps have left the capital a long time ago and have traces in various states. As the King of Liang, he has not yet been able to clear up the ground in the capital.
He regretted it, extremely regretted it.
If only he could have been kinder to her.
If the Rizhaoxuan incident happened, after he was forced to marry, he only maintained a superficial respect for her as a guest, instead of being hostile to each other, and did not throw her into a side courtyard;
If he had not agreed to Mei Jingxue’s stay in Prince Liang’s Mansion, he would have been able to stop her when he knew that Mei Jingxue had bullied Mu Qingyu several times;
What if he hadn't forced her to apologize to Mei Jingxue despite knowing that she might be innocent;
What if, after learning that she committed suicide in anger, we didn’t deliberately let someone dig a hole in the small garden to scare her;
If he hadn't sealed off Zhumiaoyuan, he wouldn't have cared about her life or death...
Without these ifs, as long as he is given time, he will realize that Mu Qingyu is special. At that time, he will slowly accept this marriage and Mu Qingyu, and will not be in this situation with her now.
But he couldn't tell anyone about his bitterness, so he could only pretend to be expressionless.
He endured everything on his own, but he still had to say to Chu Juan: "I am already married. Everyone in the capital knows this. This is a fact!"
Chu Juan sighed, patted his shoulder gently, and said: "Fifth brother, you feel uncomfortable, I understand. No matter who it is, the only way to get between husband and wife is to end up with a divorce letter.
What a pleasant thing it would be! Brother Wei originally thought that the Mu family was not bad, but if you don’t like the fifth brother, then you have no chance to meet the fifth brother. You don’t need to think too much. After a while, you will come out.
Got it!"

Missed?
Chu Xinyuan didn't like hearing these two words. He frowned unconsciously, but said nothing.
The two of them have reached the path in front of the pavilion.
Chu Juan was astonished: "You really can't tell anyone behind this. Fifth brother, who is the first five younger brothers and sisters in that pavilion?"
Chu Xinyuan was startled and looked up.
There was a woman in light blue clothes standing in the pavilion. Although she was facing sideways, he recognized her at a glance with her delicate face and unique temperament.
Chu Juan felt the stiffness on his shoulders and stopped: "Do you still want to go to the pavilion?"
Chu Xinyuan paused for a moment and said: "Go! Why not go?"
Chu Juan smiled and said: "That's right. After all, although you are no longer husband and wife, you are still acquaintances. It is normal for acquaintances to meet and exchange greetings!"
Chu Xinyuan: "..."
He couldn't answer this either.
The two walked into the pavilion one after another.
I just found an opportunity to invite Duke Cheng Guo's wife out of the hall. After all, it's not easy to discuss business in front of a hall full of noble ladies.
After agreeing on the price, the semi-abandoned village that was part of Mrs. Cheng Guogong's dowry agreed to be sold. Both of them were very happy, but Mrs. Cheng Guogong was called away.
There was nothing going on around Mu Qingyu. The nanny who came to call Cheng Guogong's wife had flashing eyes and was hiding. She knew something was going on based on her feelings. She would not get along with matters involving high-ranking families.
He said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang and walked around at will. Seeing that the pavilion here was quiet, he came over to have a rest.
The main purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and she is very relaxed. The location of this small pavilion is in a meandering shape, quiet yet elegant. Compared with the solitary pavilion in her courtyard, which can be seen from a distance,
After all, it looks much better.
Maybe when she has some free time, she can also renovate her pavilion!
While he was pondering, he heard a gentle voice saying: "Fifth brother and sister, are you here alone to enjoy the scenery?"
The words "fifth younger brother and sister" made both Chu Xinyuan and Mu Qingyu look speechless.
However, as a businessman, Mu Qingyu still showed a light smile in this harmless greeting, came over to salute, and said: "I have met His Highness King Lu and His Highness King Liang!"<
/p>
Chu Juan smiled and said in an approachable manner: "Don't be polite, don't be polite. I'm not an outsider, so why should I be polite?"
Mu Qingyu glanced at Chu Xinyuan, and her meaning was obvious: You don't want to explain?
Chu Xinyuan turned his face away and said: I don't care what other people call me!
Mu Qingyu's eyes flickered and she said considerately: "Are the two princes going to talk in the pavilion? Then I'll leave first!"
Seeing her like this, Chu Juan wanted to leave directly?
After thinking about it, he thought it was normal. Let me ask, if a divorced woman sees her ex-husband coming, it is already the best education not to look at her with anger. How can he still expect her to greet her with a smile?
However, Mu Qingyu's expression was so calm. Even when she looked at Lao Wu, she didn't look angry at all. She was an open-minded and open-minded woman.
Lao Wu didn’t know what to think. Although this woman didn’t have a good natal family, how was she worse than those ladies from the wealthy family?
No, those ladies are all the same and are made from the same mold. People in the world regard being rigid and following rules as beauty, but isn’t it more unique and beautiful to be different?
For example, Ming Qinxue, who dared to refuse the prince's marriage in public, did not admire the wealth and honor that her mother would marry the world in the future, betrayed her family and left the clan, and Mu Qingyu, who was an abandoned concubine and abandoned wife, but was magnanimous and calm!
Chu Juan's thoughts wandered for a while, and she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
He seems to think of some things too simply.
After all, he is not the fifth child!
After all, Lao Wu is not disabled!
So, did Lao Wu divorce Mu Qingyu because she didn’t have a good natal family and no one to rely on?
A touch of sympathy arose in Chu Juan's heart, and she smiled gracefully: "Brother and sister, you came first, and it is my brother's turn to leave. If my brother and sister don't give up, and can play chess and drink tea together, it will be an honor for my brother!"
”
His smile was friendly and approachable, and he did not overwhelm others as a prince, making him feel very comfortable. Mu Qingyu couldn't help but paused if he wanted to refuse.
Chu Juan added: "I heard that my siblings are doing some small business now. Maybe we can talk about cooperation?"
Mu Qingyu: "..."
He is a prince, who can he not find for cooperation?
She reminded with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, please stop calling me brother and sister, you can call me by my name!"
Chu Juan glanced at Chu Xinyuan, who had been silent all the time. He was a little confused.
Chu Xinyuan’s expression is not quite right, and his eyes are also weird.
Is he divorcing someone and then regretting it?
Don’t you cherish it when you get it, and regret it after you lose it?
Since he didn't object, he must be willing in his heart. Chu Juan raised her hand and said: "Brother...Miss Mu, please sit down!"
Then he said: "Fifth brother, you also sit down!"
The servants of Dingyuan Hou Mansion were indeed very considerate. When they saw someone in the pavilion, they also brought prepared fruit plates, snacks and tea.
Chu Juan raised her hand to pour the tea herself, with a smile on her face: "Miss Mu, I heard that you have a cloth shop, but I wonder where you get the goods for your cloth shop?"
Just as Mu Qingyu was about to answer, Chu Juan said again: "Miss Mu, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of inquiring about the source of your goods. I know that these are business secrets and will not reveal them to others easily. What I mean is, I
A friend shipped a batch of silk and satin from the south some time ago. If Miss Mu is interested, how about we talk about business?"
Are you really ready to talk business?
Mu Qingyu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Chujuan's gourd for a while, so she said conservatively: "My shop is just a small business, and I don't need many goods..."
"It's Yun Yan Qing Luo Ruyi Forged!"
Mu Qingyu's words were blocked in her mouth, and she said: "The south that the prince is referring to is Southern Qi?"
Yunyan Qingluo Ruyi satin is only produced in Southern Qi. It is the silk spun by Yunyan silkworms. It is said that the silk is extremely thin and easy to break. It can only be made into satin through special craftsmanship. The special craftsmanship is a skill that is passed down from generation to generation, not from male to female.
, Not to mention that Yunyan silkworms cannot be raised elsewhere, even if they are raised, they cannot be reeled into satin without craftsmen who know this special craft. Therefore, this material is so rare that even the empress in the palace can get a fan.
Or a silk handkerchief is enough to show off.
Chu Juan smiled and said: "Of course, ordinary things are not easy to do business with Miss Mu!"
He added: "Don't worry, Miss Mu, her origins are correct! She will never get into any trouble for Miss Mu because of her origins!"
Chu Xinyuan: "..."
Did they forget that there was him next to them?
Especially Brother Sanhuang, if he said in front of him that there were goods from Nan Qi, this was a test, right?
Mu Qingyu smiled bitterly: "If His Royal Highness Prince Lu really has Yunyan Qingluo Ruyi Satin in his hands, as long as the news goes out, I am afraid that all the cloth shops in the capital will cry and want to do business with the prince!"
The implication: Why look for me?
Chu Juan smiled and said: "Isn't this fat water going to outsiders' fields?"
Chu Xinyuan just pretended to be transparent. He picked up the tea cup, but before he could bring it to his mouth, he saw a nanny coming quickly over there. She walked to the pavilion and stood a few steps away, saluting: "
I have met His Royal Highness King Lu and His Highness King Liang!"
