Does the emperor want to go personally
"That's right, I thought I heard it wrong when I first heard it, but many people in the palace said that." Princess Runing was wearing a bright red makeup dress, holding a delicate hand stove in her hand, softly and softly. Chu Jinyao said, "I went to the palace yesterday to greet the mother-in-law. I heard the mother-in-law say that the north has been restless for the past few days. I don't know who brought this up, and the father became a little moved and wanted to lead the army to expedition in person."
There is always a delay of several days for external affairs to reach Changhe Garden. For example, the emperor wants to go to the expedition in person. If it wasn't for Princess Runing's news, Chu Jinyao would still be in the dark.
Chu Jinyao had an intuition that this matter was a bit unusual. Qin Yi started his career because of his military exploits, and now the emperor wants to conquer himself... Chu Jinyao also hopes that this is just his own overthinking. She continued to ask Princess Runing: "It's not a matter of a day or two to invade the border in the north. Why did the emperor suddenly think of the expedition in person?"
Princess Runing shook her head: "I don't know about it, I'm just hearsay."
Chu Jinyao had no choice but to give up, and it was faster to ask Qin Yi about this kind of thing. Since the last time Qin Yi silently raided Changhe Garden, he has been coming here more and more frequently. Chu Jinyao wrote down this matter silently, intending to ask Qin Yi directly next time he sees him.
A long time ago, Princess Runing tended to favor Qin Yi when she was in the palace. Now that the East Palace is in good shape, Princess Runing and Chu Jinyao are moving more and more frequently. Many news in the palace are brought by Princess Runing.
After Princess Runing left, Chu Jinyao was still thinking about the personal expedition. Seeing that she didn't respond after calling her several times, Chu Jinxian smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, so fascinated."
Chu Jinyao woke up and shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, I was thinking about what Runing said."
Chu Jinxian couldn't help being surprised when she heard that Chu Jinyao was thinking about these court affairs. The male protagonist and the female protagonist are the mainstream. Chu Jinxian and Duan Yinghua are both good at the housekeeper's grasp of power. Even so, they know very little about the affairs of the court, and they can even be said to be indifferent. In the eyes of most women in the back house, the change of the court is something that men should worry about. What do they do when they listen to it.
"You're still pregnant, what are you thinking about?" Chu Jinxian didn't think that Chu Jinyao cared about these transgressions, but she was worried that Chu Jinyao was thinking too much.
Chu Jinyao stopped this topic and talked about other things. The location of the station is different, and the things you see are also different. Chu Jinyao didn't care about these before, but since entering the palace, she has been in contact with the government and politics, and she can't help but think about it. Qin Yi did not shy away from talking about this with her. The former dynasty and the harem were always closely linked.
Even if Chu Jinyao stopped talking, but looking at Chu Jinyao's face, Duan Yinghua knew that Chu Jinyao was still thinking about things outside. Duan Yinghua sighed silently, life is really like a person drinking water and knowing that it is cold and warm. Outsiders only see that Chu Jinyao is favored, and the prince is always responsive to the prince. How can a waiter last long.
Many people, including the Marquis of Changxing, attribute all this to the favor of Prince Chu Jinyao, but Duan Yinghua has been in contact with them for a long time these days, and gradually discovered that people who can stand in this position have their own advantages. It may be because the color is good for a month, but it is still the same after a year. The root cause must be more from people, not from color. Duan Yinghua also came from an aristocratic family, and her uncles and uncles all served as officials in the court, but she had a headache when she heard about these important court events. She was not like a princess, even when she was out of the palace, she was thinking about it.
Duan Yinghua secretly sighed that it was not easy for anyone, and the Crown Princess, the grandmother of the fifth aunt, who was recognized as having a good fate, also worked extremely hard to discipline herself in private. Duan Yinghua sighed for a while, and then tried to cut into what she was going to say today: "Prince Concubine, the second master and mother were deceived a few days ago, so they did such things. Now the ancestors have already dealt with them properly. , Second Master has also been reprimanded by Dad for a long time, and is now thinking about it behind closed doors. Don't worry, Crown Princess, this kind of thing will never happen again. "
Duan Yinghua is here to report the follow-up and show her loyalty. Chu Jinyao is no longer curious about this matter. Mrs. Chu is mercenary, but she can handle things clearly. Mrs. Chu's actions in person may be more expensive than Chu Jinyao's actions. To decide. After hearing it, Chu Jinyao put this matter behind her mind: "Second brother, it's good to understand. My family doesn't talk about the two families. Since the knot is clear, you don't need to worry about it."
Chu Jinyao was fine if she didn't pursue it. Duan Yinghua was relieved and mentioned another matter carefully: "Prince Concubine, the mother was so angry that day and said some unpleasant things, wouldn't you mind?"
Speaking of the Zhao family, Chu Jinyao smiled knowingly: "It's okay."
I had no expectations, so how could I be disappointed. In Zhao's heart, Chu Jinyao was always an outsider who came back halfway, and Chu Jinyao no longer expected such a thing as a mother's love. Her most difficult adaptation period was when Qin Yi stayed with her, and then she was almost forced into a side room. It was Qin Yi who saved her from misfortune and avenged her grievance. Qin Yi is the one who really accompanies and cares for her, so Chu Jinyao can't blame Chu Jinyao for putting Qin Yi first and lining up her biological mother far away.
Duan Yinghua was very sad when she saw this scene, and Chu Jinxian sighed secretly when she saw it. If Chu Jinyao is angry and angry, even resentment and resentment are fine. This at least shows that Chu Jinyao has resentment in his heart, and if there is resentment, there is love. In Jin Yao's heart, she really doesn't care at all.
Outsiders have no position to speak about emotional matters, especially since this one is still the prince concubine, who would dare to betray the way the prince concubine and her biological mother get along. Duan Yinghua could only change the subject and said, "Prince Concubine, you really help me, but I didn't stand up for you that day. You won't complain that I don't know how to praise me, and I'm a white-eyed wolf, right?"
"I am the daughter of an out-married woman, but you are the daughter-in-law. You will have to seek a life in the Hou's mansion in the future. I understand your scruples, and you don't need to care." Chu Jinyao said, "I'm not so narrow-minded."
Duan Yinghua was relieved, but her heart became more and more embarrassed. She talked with Chu Jinyao again, and said goodbye when it was late.
After Duan Yinghua left, Chu Jinxian was also curious about this. The relationship between Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao is much closer, so there is no need to beat around the bush, she asks directly: "It was Duan Yinghua who came to ask you for help, you helped her check the second brother's outer room, but she Knowing the news of Chu Jinmiao, but I didn't come to tell you immediately, do you really mind?"
"What's the point of it? She's just my sister-in-law, not my husband. What should I do with her?" Chu Jinyao really didn't care. She has long been accustomed to the good intentions of the people around her always being mixed with conspiracy and use. For Chu Jinyao, these people are just some ladies who can be friends and use each other. Chu Jinyao is not afraid that others will ask her for something. On the contrary, standing in her position, if others don't want anything from her, it will be troublesome.
"That's true." Chu Jinxian sighed suddenly, as time went on, the little girl who once needed Chu Jinxian to teach her to fight in the back house has grown up, and she can laugh at her partiality and use of her relatives. She really went from a windless and rainless greenhouse to a prosperous but cruel court.
Chu Jinxian was a little dazed when she thought about the past. Seeing that Chu Jinxian didn't speak for a long time, Chu Jinyao couldn't help but say, "Sister, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing." Chu Jinxian regained her senses and shook her head with a smile. "Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I like to miss the past more and more. Our brothers and sisters have grown up too."
That's right, Chu Jinxian, the second young master, and Chu Jinyao, the only three relatives in the world who share the same blood, all got married and even had their own children.
Chu Jinyao couldn't help but be a little stunned. In this way, she can really pour her feelings into her without any interest, and she can trust Qin Yi and the child in her womb.
Brothers and sisters will have their own families, and Chu Jinyao's relatives are them.
Chu Jinyao suddenly wanted to see Qin Yi urgently, but she also knew that it was getting late, and the palace would soon be locked. What about Changhe Garden? She was inexplicably depressed. After eating, she read the Book of Poetry and Chu Ci by herself under the lamp, and suddenly missed the lights of Ciqing Palace.
At this time, I don't know if the Ciqing Palace has prepared meals, and whether the eunuchs of the palace have neglected their duties. Chu Jinyao thought about it again, without the restraint of her own crown princess, Qin Yi must be very comfortable, maybe the past few days have been happy.
Chu Jinyao thought about it, and her mood fluctuated, more like tossing herself. Chu Jinyao snorted heavily and closed the book in her hand forcefully: "Who cares about you, you can do whatever you like."
A chuckle suddenly came from behind: "There is no one in the room, who are you scolding?"
Chu Jinyao was stunned for a while, then turned around in surprise and looked at the person behind him: "Qin Yi?"
"It's me." Qin Yi looked like he was rushing over, his cloak was covered with thick frost. He took off his cloak, threw it to the little eunuch behind him, and walked quickly towards Chu Jinyao: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you feel like you've lost weight again?"
"His Royal Highness!" Chu Jinyao finally confirmed that the person she was talking about just now really appeared in front of her. She exclaimed a little. If it wasn't for the child, she would have already rushed over.
Qin Yi hurriedly supported Chu Jinyao, but said helplessly, "Be careful with your child. Just now you were referring to Sang and scolding Huai, calling him by his first name. Now that he is in a good mood, he will start calling him 'His Royal Highness'?"
"I don't miss you because I miss you." Chu Jinyao held Qin Yi's child in her hand, and her arrogance became more and more arrogant, "Stop talking about this. It's so late, how did you come out? ?"
"What's so difficult about this? If I figure it out, there's always a way." Qin Yi was very helpful to Chu Jinyao's first sentence. It's also strange, before Chu Jinyao came, Qin Yi lived alone for so many years, why didn't he feel lonely and desolate at that time
Qin Yi helped Chu Jinyao back to the soft slump, Qin Yi's arm went over Chu Jinyao's shoulder, and curiously flipped through the book that Chu Jinyao had just closed: "Are you still looking for his name?"
"Yes, I found several more and wrote them down on the paper. You wait, I'll show you."
"No hurry." Qin Yi suppressed Chu Jinyao's movements and gently placed his chin on Chu Jinyao's shoulder, "Anyway, it will be a long time before he comes out, so there will be no shortage of his name, so what is the hurry."
Seeing Qin Yi leaning on her shoulder so quietly, Chu Jinyao's heart moved slightly: "Your Highness, is it something in the palace..."
Chu Jinyao thought that Qin Yi was so tired because of the affairs in the palace, but in fact, Qin Yi just wanted to divert Chu Jinyao's attention away from the child. But she asked this question, and Qin Yi followed suit: "Fortunately, this has always been the case in the palace, so it's not too much trouble."
"I heard Ru Ning say that the emperor wants to go to the army in person, what's going on?"
Speaking of this, Qin Yi opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became clear: "It's not yet determined. Someone asked for a personal expedition, but he hasn't made a statement yet."
But he didn't refuse immediately, at least it means that he also intends to move.
"Why did the emperor think of going to fight in person?" Chu Jinyao was really puzzled about this. "I don't think the emperor is a person who is keen on force."
"It's unpredictable, who knows what he's thinking." Although Qin Yi said this, he didn't look like he couldn't guess. Since Qin Yi didn't say it, it must be inconvenient to speak out. Chu Jinyao didn't ask, but urged Qin Yi to rest as soon as possible: "You have to go to the court tomorrow, this place is far from the palace, and it will take a long time to travel. You have to get up early tomorrow. Many, I couldn't sleep for a few hours, so let's go to bed now."
The topic between husband and wife is very ambiguous. If Qin Yi usually makes a big article, but now... Qin Yi glanced at Chu Jinyao's stomach: "This is only the fourth month, right?"
"You..." Chu Jinyao blushed, "Don't mess around."
"I remember that the imperial doctor said that in the first three months after leaving, you can have intercourse."
Chu Jinyao collapsed: "When did the imperial doctor say that? Why don't I know."
"I asked alone, of course you don't know."
"Why would you ask such a thing, no, which imperial doctor did you ask..."
In the Kunning Palace, the lights were bright, and Xiao Qi stared at the palace lantern in front of him, not knowing why he was a little lost.
"Niangniang." A maid stepped forward and put a warm fur on Xiao Qihou, and whispered, "The weather is getting colder and colder, Niangniang, your phoenix is precious, take care of your health."
"He didn't come today again."
"My lady..."
"That's all." Xiao Qi didn't want to mention it anymore, she stood up and let the mammy help her to go to the bedroom, the emperor would not come, and she didn't need to wait.
Empress Xiao Qi lay down on the bed under the considerate service of the palace servant, and the palace maid pulled the quilt on her. The lights outside were dim, and Xiao Qihou stared at the top of the flying dragon and phoenix in front of him, suddenly giving birth to a strong unwillingness.
Xiao Qi couldn't help thinking of what the White Palace people persuaded her to say. Slowly, Queen Qi's eyes became firm, she was the queen, she couldn't let this decline continue, she had to take the initiative to attack.
