Stepping on the white jade steps, the golden steps hanging by Chu Yu's ears jingled, and the ministers standing on both sides hung their heads.
This is not only her gift of Jiji, but also a testimony of the good relationship between the royal family and the Li family in Qin and Jin Dynasties.
If avoidance is inevitable, then face it.
Chu Yu looked at Chu Chen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and had the illusion of a world away.
It seems that the father who pampered her and indulged her is long gone.
The rest is just a faint king who asks for immortals all day long and ignores political affairs.
"My Qinghua has grown up."
After brushing the falling snow off her shoulders, Chu Chen came out to greet her in person. The cold wind passed through his dragon robe, and he couldn't help but make him cough a few times in a low voice.
"Thank you, Father, for your love."
Chu Yu knelt down in front of him and bowed his hands in salute.
"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly."
After helping him up, Chu Chen glanced at Li Changhe at the bottom of the steps, the smile didn't reach his eyes,
"I heard that Li Aiqing also has a beloved son, who is just the right age for Qinghua, and can also continue the royal family's in-law relationship with the Li family."
"All according to His Majesty's arrangement."
This marriage is a lucrative business for the Li family, and he has no reason to refuse.
A conversation between the monarch and his subjects finalized Chu Yu's marriage.
The auspicious time of the wedding was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and the palace began to get busy again, but no one asked Chu Yu's opinion.
Chu Yu hadn't been to Shang's study room since reaching Jiji.
The bride-to-be doesn't have to prepare for her homework, and even if she finishes her homework, the emperor will never let her go out of the palace.
Fortunately, Song Qinghuan was with her.
"The winter plums carefully cultivated in the flower house are blooming, is your Highness going to have a look?"
Knowing that she was unhappy, Song Qinghuan tried to make her happy in different ways these days.
But Chu Yu just seemed to be a person who had nothing to do. He should eat and drink without any delay.
The more calm it was, the more worried Song Qinghuan became.
"Let someone move to Changle Hall, and bring some pots of geranium flowers by the way."
Seeing her interest in coming, Xianghe and the others hurriedly made arrangements, and specially bought Yuhua Cake from outside the palace.
Hot water was gurgling on the tea table, Chu Yu rested his fingertips on the Yuhua cake, and said softly,
"These pastries won't be necessary in the future."
Sweet things always make people lose their vigilance, like Shen Ye.
She used to think that he was on her side, but he was the one who pushed her into the abyss.
The marriage was facilitated by Shen Ye, which won Li Changhe's goodwill and made him flourish in the cabinet.
It's really unrecognizable.
Luoxue rustled, the little eunuchs moved quickly, and brought the flowers that Chu Yu asked for in a short while.
They almost emptied the whole flower house, and even the winter plums Master Shen asked for a long time ago were not delivered.
All were focused on the Changle Palace, and this matter naturally passed through Shen Ye's hands.
"Since she's bored, it's great that these flowers can play their value."
With these words, the little eunuch can be regarded as peace of mind to move the flowers here.
But after a while, the entire Changle Hall was covered by the fragrance of plum blossoms, which complemented the snow scene perfectly.
"The plum blossoms are blooming really well. I think it took a lot of effort to come to the greenhouse."
Holding Chu Yu's arm, Song Qinghuan pulled her up from the imperial concubine's bed.
Lazy and lifeless, she almost couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you like, these will be given to you."
Chu Yu was not interested in these flowers and plants, it was purely to cater to Song Qinghuan.
Chu Yu could see her worries. It is true that she has been a little lazy these days, but she has sorted out her thoughts.
Since marriage is unavoidable, maximize your own interests.
It remains to be seen who will have the last laugh.
"Like doesn't necessarily mean possession, even if you look at it from a distance, it's great."
Fiddled with the stamens, Song Qinghuan frowned, his mind was heavy.
"Perhaps, should we give up?"
Even Chu Yu couldn't get rid of the ending of the marriage, so she was just a little concubine, so what would she use to fight the family
Love is indeed beautiful, but not enough to make her give her all.
"Since you like it in your heart, you should hold it firmly in your palm."
Chu Yu broke off a sage plum, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed the fragrance, a dark light flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Patting her on the shoulder, Chu Yu comforted her,
"Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you, and I will never break my promise to you."
Right now, he can't leave Shengjing City, but Song Qinghuan still has a chance.
"In a few days, I will keep you in the palace on the grounds of preparing for the wedding, and the token to leave the palace will be in your hands tomorrow."
If she is trapped in this city, as long as brother Huang and Qing Huan are well, then she will feel much more at ease.
"I hope everything goes well."
Looking at the delicately blooming red plums, Song Qinghuan twisted a string of Buddhist beads in her palm and prayed in a low voice.
"It will be all right."
Chu Yu never believed in gods and Buddhas, so he just patted her cool palm.
As the night fell quietly, after Chu Yu sent Song Qinghuan away, she locked herself in the hall and only lit a candle.
Hot tea obscured her sight, and there was a cup of tea on the opposite side of the desk.
squeak—
The door of the hall was pushed open, and the time was not too long, just the most suitable temperature for tea.
"His Royal Highness went to the flower room and asked for ten pots of geraniums. We will meet you in Youshi, but what's the rush?"
Shen Ye came striding forward, frowning slightly.
"Geranium flower, the centurion back then is now Sir Shen."
If it hadn't been for the reminder from the elder brother last time, she really wouldn't have been able to connect the centurion in the pile of dead people with the current Shen Ye.
"Wei Chen thought His Highness knew about this a long time ago."
When he enlisted in the army, he was sent to the border. During the war, he was wounded and passed out on the battlefield, but was thrown into a mass grave.
Fortunately, he woke up in time and was brought back to the barracks by Chu Yu, and only then did he save his life.
"I saved you, so it's your turn to repay me."
Chu Yu looked directly into his indifferent eyes, with a businesslike tone.
That sunflower was just picked by her to give him a speedy recovery, which meant meeting and reunion.
It's just a pity that apart from this relationship, there is no connection between them.
"What does Your Highness want?"
Shen Ye caressed the petals with his pale fingertips, half of his face was hidden in the night, and his expression could not be discerned.
"Master Shen is very clever, why don't you figure out what I want?"
Without the shackles of Shang Shufang, Chu Yu was even more unscrupulous towards Shen Ye.
Respecting the teacher and respecting the way has long been thrown out of the sky by her.
"We will send someone to deliver it tomorrow morning."
Shen Ye lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.
"Master Shen, isn't he afraid that Bengong will run out of Shengjing?"
At that time, the first person that the father and the Li family will not be able to forgive is Shen Ye.
His courage is not ordinary.
"Your Highness won't do that."
Although Shen Ye's voice was deep, what he said was very serious.
