Hearing that his grandfather summoned him for no reason, Chu Mingyang asked the servant who passed the message, "Did the princess just now go to see his grandfather?"
The servant shook his head, "In response to the second lady, there is no such thing."
Chu Mingyang knows how to do things for people, and he has taken care of the people waiting for his grandfather, so if the eldest sister has not found his grandfather, then it should be fine.
Perhaps it was for the marriage with King Chu.
In this way, she went out comfortably.
However, when she entered the gate of the yard, the old steward hurried forward and said, "Second Miss, the master wants you to kneel outside first."
Chu Mingyang was startled, "Kneeling? Why?"
The old steward said: "This is what the master meant, the second lady don't ask, the master is in anger, you should kneel first!"
Chu Mingyang knew his grandfather's majesty, she didn't dare not to kneel, just kneeling and not reconciled, she asked: "Just look at it, can you tell me what I did wrong?"
The steward sighed slightly, "Mother Xi, why do you bother Princess Chu, Miss Second?"
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 said in embarrassment, "Second Miss, you should kneel first."
"I want to see my grandfather, I have something to defend." A slave's complaint, the grandfather wants to punish her too? Is this still decent
A teacup smashed out of the room and shattered to the ground. The fragments splashed on Chu Mingyang's body, frightening her to step back two steps, and then she knelt down.
The old steward sighed, "Second Miss, let's kneel down. Master will meet you. You will always have time to argue."
Even though Chu Mingyang didn't accept it, he didn't dare to make another mistake.
Chu Mingyang's father and mother were passed over, and they went into the room and talked for a long time before leaving. Uncle Chu and his wife looked at the daughter who was kneeling on the ground, only sighed and left.
After another stick of incense, he saw that the minister of rituals had also come, also said a few words in it, and left with a smile.
Chu Mingyang knelt with pain in his knees, and sat back a little bit, wondering what was going on.
Chu Mingcui also entered the yard, and when she saw Chu Mingyang who was kneeling on the ground, she frowned slightly, "I told you about you, but you wouldn't listen."
Chu Mingyang was really puzzled, and asked: "Mother Xi, the old slave came today, and my grandfather punished me. Why does my grandfather value her words so much?"
Chu Mingcui said: "Second sister, you have always been smarter than me. You should understand that some things are not to be said. I hate Yuan Qingling more than you. However, in front of Mrs. Xi, I tried my best to constrain and she couldn't provoke her."
Chu Mingyang said coldly: "I can't provoke you? Then I will marry King Chu as a side concubine in the future. Doesn't it really depend on her expression?"
Chu Mingcui looked at her, wondering why he felt a sense of joy, "You will not marry King Chu. Grandfather has already decided to marry you to King Ji as his concubine. Only then did his grandfather pass on his father and mother to come over for consultation. This matter."
"Ji Wang?" Chu Mingyang jumped up and said sharply: "I don't agree!"
Chu Mingcui pressed her shoulders, lowered her voice and said sharply: "At this point, don't irritate grandfather. I might as well tell you that grandmother lost her voice because she said something wrong. The same is true for married couples. Don't think you are. How special you are, really annoyed your grandfather, marrying you to a trafficker, you can only cry on the sedan chair."
Chu Mingyang shook his head, his face was pale, and looked at Chu Mingcui in horror, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
Chu Mingcui lowered his voice and said, "Remember that time when I went back to the mansion and told you that grandfather wanted you to marry King Chu as a side concubine? You said you saw my careful thoughts, but I was wondering what grandfather thoughts. King Qi is grandfather’s grandson, and grandfather will definitely support him as a prince. But, King Qi is useless. You can see it. Grandfather thinks he can’t help King Qi. Who do you think he would choose?"
"Who?" Chu Mingyang asked subconsciously.
"King Ji!" Chu Mingcui smiled sadly, "It is ridiculous that I bet the wrong treasure. I thought that as a concubine, as long as his grandfather gave him a little push, he would be able to sit firmly as a prince. It's a pity that he is just a waste. Wang Ji returned to the court, and the emperor gave the yellow robe, which seems to be reused. Wang Ji is the eldest son, and Princess Ji is seriously ill in bed. At least you don’t need to wait too long for the position of concubine after you marry."
Chu Mingyang slowly came to his senses, "What about King Chu? Isn't his grandfather optimistic about King Chu?"
Chu Mingcui explained: "Chu's mother concubine Xianfei and Queen Mother belonged to the Su family. Grandfather fought against the Su family for a lifetime. Do you think it is possible for your grandfather to help the Chu King to strengthen the Su family?"
"So," Chu Mingyang stared at her, "you saw this clearly in the first place, so that you could help Jinghou and Yuan Qingling design the King of Chu in the princess mansion?"
Chu Mingcui said: "At least, I don't think I have done anything wrong 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 my grandfather work hard? Why did he choose to support Ji Wanger and abandon Qi Wang's sister-in-law?" Although Chu Mingyang thought clearly, he still didn't understand these things as well as Chu Mingcui.
Chu Mingcui sighed, "King Ji is in the midst of the sky, and the winning ticket is in hand. Grandfather is the icing on the cake. The ultimate goal is to protect King Qi. With this support and righteousness, once King Ji is on the big treasure in the future, he will kill those who are scrupulous. Grandfather can still say a few words for King Qi. This is just my guess, but it's not far from ten."
Chu Mingyang digested the information, was silent for a while, and said, "So, if I marry Wang Ji as a side concubine, I might eventually become a queen?"
"The opportunity is great!" Chu Mingcui said.
Chu Mingyang was speechless, thinking about what Chu Mingcui said.
After a while, the old steward came out and told Chu Mingyang to enter.
Chu Mingyang was already kneeling with her legs numb, and Chu Mingcui helped her to get in.
She went into the house and knelt down, "The granddaughter knows that she was wrong, and I beg 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 will marry King Chu as a side concubine?"
Chu Mingcuifu whispered softly: "If you return to your grandfather, the granddaughter told the second sister."
"Where did you get the news?" Chu Shoufu stared at her with cold eyes, staring Chu Mingcui with chills.
Chu Mingcui was startled, didn't his grandfather discuss this matter with his father and mother himself? Mother ordered someone to send a letter to inform her.
"This... is what the mother said, and the mother said it was mentioned by the grandfather." Chu Mingcui had to bite the bullet and answer.
Chu Shoufu sneered, "So, do you think it will be possible if I mention it? What makes you pretentious? Who taught you to be arrogant and domineering? Who told you that the Chu family can override Above the royal will? Who gave you the courage to provoke Princess Chu?"
Chu Mingyang couldn't help refuting, "Grandfather, it's really not the granddaughter who provokes her, she is really hateful."
Chu Shoufu stared at her and said slowly and coldly: "If there is any mistake in Princess Chu's fetus, I want you to pay for it!"
