After all, Prime Minister Xiao was the Prime Minister, so he had more thoughts. When he tried every means to befriend Prince Yu, he also had some unspeakable thoughts in his heart. After all, Prince Yu held a lot of military power. Although his mother was of a humble origin, he was very likely to ascend to the throne. But if it was really as his daughter said, he would have to think about it again. After all, the crown prince could not have such a hidden disease. He was angry before because Prince Yu hated his daughter and was afraid that his Xiao family would not be able to get along with the huge wealth in the future. Now he was not as angry as before.
"You did something wrong after all. Prince Yu doesn't mind, but I have to punish you." Xiao Xiangguo calmed down and said, "You should stay at home for the next six months, copy some female rules to cultivate your temper, and don't go out and embarrass yourself."
Madam Xiao was unwilling to give in. "This is too lenient. Even ordinary families cannot tolerate this. Our Xiangguo Mansion must set an example and impose severe punishment. If we don't give a suitable punishment, I'm afraid it will ruin our Xiao family's reputation, and the marriages of the next few girls will also be affected. The head of the family should think twice!"
Jiang Yuchao calmly echoed Madam Xiao's words: "Father, Madam is right. The reputation of our Xiao family is important. I know that father loves me, but I also love my sisters. I can't let them be influenced by me. I will go to the women's temple in the city to practice. I have realized my mistakes and will cultivate myself and never bring shame to the Xiao family again."
Madam Xiao: “…” Although it was what I wanted, why did I feel so unhappy
She forced a smile and said, "Yes, it seems that Jinyue really knows she is wrong. Since she is so sincere, the head of the family should just agree to her request."
This matter was settled, and not long after Jiang Yuchao entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he took his group of servants and a large amount of dowry and changed his route to the largest female Taoist temple in the city.
The maids started crying again in the carriage. Their master was going to live in that lonely and cold female Taoist temple. What would she do in the future? Would she stay there forever? This was a terrible thing for a young woman.
"If you want to cry, go to the carriage at the back. It's too noisy." After Jiang Yuchao said this, no maid dared to cry anymore.
She then closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best situation now. After all, she was not the real Xiao Jinyue, and it was impossible for her to learn from her and act like a little rabbit that didn't bite and be bullied. It was better for her to stay away from those who knew Xiao Jinyue and live in a female Taoist temple where no one would know her.
Also give her some buffer time.
In order to bring honor to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Jinyue's dowry was generous. In the original novel, Prince Yu Zhao Huang was a domineering male chauvinist who disdained to be greedy for this little dowry. But now, Jiang Yuchao has a lot of generous dowry in his hands, which is enough for his life. At least he doesn't have to worry about money.
The largest female Taoist temple in Luodu is in the west city, named Mingyue Temple, which is quite related to the name of the original owner, Xiao Jinyue. She came to the temple with a lot of money for incense offerings and wanted to live there for a long time. With such an identity, the nuns in the temple were of course very welcoming. Even if she was a person from the secular world, she was still a mortal after all, and she could not get rid of the mundane things like money.
So in Mingyue Temple, Jiang Yuchao had an independent courtyard with flowers, plants, pine trees and beautiful scenery. Although the houses in the Taoist temple did not have the carved beams and painted buildings of Prince Yu's Mansion and Xiangguo Mansion, Jiang Yuchao was more accustomed to such simplicity. He asked the servants to arrange the furniture and furnishings. After a little preparation inside and outside the courtyard, it became an excellent residence.
She was hiding in this Taoist temple to have some leisure time, but the whole Luodu became lively because of her.
Prince Yu was such a handsome and noble man, and there were countless unmarried ladies in Luodu who wanted to marry into Prince Yu's mansion. Now that such a big thing had happened, how could people not talk about it? Although Prince Yu did not directly spread the news about why Princess Xiao Jinyue was divorced, there was no such thing as a wall without cracks in the wall, and someone was behind the scenes fanning the flames. Soon, the news that Princess Xiao Jinyue had an affair with the guard spread throughout Luodu.
If it was just that, it would be fine. People would just blame and despise Xiao Jinyue for not being a faithful wife. But somehow, a rumor came out that Xiao Jinyue had an affair with the guard because Prince Yu was ill and couldn't have sex. The rumor was so convincing that it made a lot of sense. Whether it was the princess cheating or the prince being impotent, it was all gossip that would interest people. In a short period of time, even the emperor in the Nine Palaces learned about the news.
However, Prince Yu was tired of listening to Xiao Jinyue crying, so he left a letter of divorce to Xiao Jinyue and asked two young eunuchs to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform her of the matter. Then he went to the camp outside the city to train his troops and never returned to the city. Therefore, he was the last to know about this. It was not until the emperor could not help but summoned his son into the palace and asked about this matter in a vague way that Prince Yu learned about the recent rumors in the city.
Emperor: "If you are ill, don't be afraid to see a doctor. Let the imperial physician treat you well. He will definitely cure you."
Prince Yu, who was questioned about his sexual function by his own father, gritted his teeth and replied with a stern face, "I am fine, I am not sick."
Seeing him so angry, the emperor suspected that he was just angry because of shame, and did not believe that he was really fine. He thought he was just pretending, so he said, "Since you are fine, let the imperial physician check your pulse and put your mind at ease."
Of course Prince Yu could see that he didn't believe it, but what could he do? He couldn't prove to his father on the spot that he could do it.
This is just like what he said about the princess having an affair, there is no way to prove it. The most disgusting thing is that he can't explain to everyone that there is nothing wrong with his body.
Prince Yu went to the palace and returned to Prince Yu's mansion with a gloomy face. He strode into the mansion and went straight to the princess's residence, ready to ask her why such rumors spread. The rumors about his ability and those about the princess spread at the same time. He didn't believe that it had nothing to do with the princess.
Just striding into the side courtyard where the princess used to live, Prince Yu found that there was not a single person in the courtyard, and the beds, cabinets and other items in the house had been moved out.
"Where is the princess?" Prince Yu asked coldly the housekeeper who hurriedly followed behind him.
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Princess... the former princess left with the divorce letter a few days ago."
Prince Yu was so angry that he just remembered this matter. However, he still thought that Xiao Jinyue would stick around and stay in the mansion and refuse to leave. He didn't expect that she would actually leave like this.
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Prince Yu rushed out of the palace like a gust of wind, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily to demand an explanation, ready to find someone to vent his anger on.
result-
"My daughter is not in the mansion." said Prime Minister Xiao.
Prince Yu's face darkened: "Prime Minister Xiao, are you trying to fool me?"
Prime Minister Xiao was also unhappy with his attitude, but he still looked kind, "Prince Yu, you are overthinking. My daughter feels ashamed to face people, so she is cultivating herself in the women's temple. Everyone in the mansion knows about this. I wonder what Prince Yu wants to see my daughter for?"
Prince Yu snorted, "I came here to ask her why she slandered me."
Prime Minister Xiao was shocked: "What does Prince Yu mean? My daughter has always been introverted and cowardly, how could she slander others for no reason." Seeing Prince Yu's angry look, and hearing that he even brought an imperial physician back from the palace, it is very likely that he is sick. Prime Minister Xiao thought, this Prince Yu looks tall and straight, but I didn't expect him to be weak inside. Tsk tsk, you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Prince Yu calmed down a bit now, and thought about Xiao Jinyue's usual behavior. She was weak and could be bullied, and she certainly didn't seem like someone who would spread such rumors. He was suspicious by nature, and now he suspected that it was his brothers who were fighting for favor and power, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Those brothers must have used Xiao Jinyue's matter to slander him! Damn it!
He stood up and left, not wanting to look at Xiao Jinyue's crying face anymore, and went back to Prince Yu's Mansion. Concubine Li had been waiting for him for a long time, and now she came to ask for an audience with her face covered. It had been several days, and her face was still a little red.
Prince Yu couldn't bear to listen to her crying and complaining about her grievances. He hated women crying the most. However, he cast a suspicious look at Concubine Li, "You have always been at odds with Xiao Jinyue. Did you spread the news that she had an affair with someone else?"
Concubine Li froze suddenly, with some fear in her drooping eyes. She did add fuel to the fire, but things got out of control later, and the rumor spread everywhere that Prince Yu was inhumane, so she dared not intervene again, and now she was extremely regretful.
"I...I didn't...ah!"
Prince Yu kicked her to the ground and said angrily, "Get out!"
…
"Hey, have you heard about our third brother? I heard that he is inhumane." A young man in luxurious purple clothes sat on the top floor of the restaurant, waving a fan and saying with a smile.
A man who looked like a good old man said, "Sixth brother, this is just a rumor. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? I think this is nine out of ten correct. Otherwise, why would his princess cheat on her? It's because he can't satisfy his women, so he lets them cheat on other men. Besides, look at his mansion for so many years, and no one has given birth to a child." The man with the golden crown drank a glass of wine with a mocking look on his face.
If there were rumors that Prince Yu was inhumane, most people would not believe it, but with the story of Prince Yu's wife, it was more credible. After all, Prince Yu's appearance and figure were the dream lover of many women, but Princess Yu's wife Xiao Jinyue was just ordinary in appearance and was obsessed with Prince Yu. She insisted on marrying him and caused a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the sexual disharmony, it wouldn't have come to this.
Therefore, most people in the neighborhood believed it.
The good-natured Fourth Prince stopped talking and drank his tea. The princes gathered together, looking harmonious on the surface, but they had different thoughts in private, and they were all speculating whether the other party had any involvement in this matter.
At this moment, the boy who had been sitting by the window without saying anything suddenly stood up, waved his hand toward the street below and shouted, "Brother Yu!"
The other three also looked out the window and saw a man riding by with a group of attendants. When they heard the sound, they stopped their horses and looked up.
The man on the horse was wearing a flowery brocade robe, which was very flashy. If it weren't for his good-looking face, which could match the outfit, he would have become a joke. Looking at the whole Luodu, apart from this man, no one else could wear this outfit to such an effect.
"Brother Yu, come up and have a drink!" The Seventh Prince at the window greeted enthusiastically. The good-natured Fourth Prince also walked over and shouted, "Zhuoyu, come up and have a drink with us."
The man on the horse shook his head and said, "A batch of new cloth arrived today, and I'm in a hurry to make new clothes. Let's do it next time." After saying that, he bowed and rode away.
This person's name is Xi Zhuoyu, the only son of the eldest princess. The emperor pitied this nephew who lost his mother at a young age. His father, General Xi, had been guarding the border all the time, so he raised him in the palace with other princes since he was a child. The emperor loved him even more than his own sons. In the past two years, when several older princes were crowned as kings, he was also crowned the King of Yuling, which was one level higher than his father's rank. This was the only honor in the entire Wei Dynasty.
The young Prince Yuling, who was known as the most handsome man in Luodu, had two quirks. One was that he loved new clothes. The more complex the patterns, the better he liked them. His aesthetics seemed to be different from others. The other was that he loved raising dogs. It was said that there were more dogs in the Prince Yuling's mansion than servants. In particular, there were several fierce guard dogs. Ordinary people did not dare to step into his mansion.
