Madam Chu was stunned for a while when she heard the words of the old princess: "What did you say?"
Outside the flower hall, Chu Jinyao was stopped by Yang Qixia: "Five girls, stay."
"What's the matter?"
Yang Qixia looked at Chu Jinyao and smiled strangely. Because she was in a good mood, her eyes were extremely bright, and the smile in her eyes made people uncomfortable: "It's rare to see Mrs. Chu leaving the house, and the last time I came here was to pray for the old princess' birthday. Fifth girl, this time Mrs. Chu brought her in person Why did you come to the Prince's Mansion with you?"
Chu Jinyao understood as soon as she heard it, Yang Qixia probably heard some rumors, and now she is showing off her feathers with her. Chu Jinyao didn't want to pay attention to her, turned around and walked out, but Yang Qixia refused to let Chu Jinyao go easily, and specifically chased after her and said, "Five girls, you haven't answered yet, why are you leaving? Oh? By the way, how are your adoptive parents and adoptive mothers, the friendship between your family is really touching."
If it was just against herself, Chu Jinyao would be too lazy to deal with it, but Yang Qixia was too much, and even brought it up to Su's father and Su's mother, and used such a mocking tone. Chu Jinyao stopped and looked back at her with stern eyes: "Miss Yang, stay on the line, see you in the future. If you don't keep your words like this, don't come down from the stage in the future."
Yang Qixia giggled as if she had heard some funny news, and the whole person was laughing wildly: "So far, you still dare to threaten me? What a joke. Chu Jinyao, do you think you are What about the prospective granddaughter-in-law in the eyes of the old princess? I might as well tell you directly that your sweet dreams, including your family's careful thoughts, have all come to nothing. You have been deliberately trying to rob other people's things, but in the end you don't want them to be returned to their original owners. Some The things belong to whoever belongs, and no matter how hard some people try, they won't be able to take them away!"
Chu Jinyao smiled amusingly and couldn't help but say, "Miss Yang, you take this marriage as your lifeblood, but others may not. If you have these skills to show off with me, it's better to read more books and learn something real."
"Hey you!" Yang Qixia was so angry at Chu Jinyao's words that she was annoyed in her heart, and she became more and more embarrassed, and wanted to embarrass Chu Jinyao. Yang Qixia sneered and said, "You're going crazy right now. After all, you're going to serve me tea later, don't you want to be crazy enough now?"
Chu Jinyao frowned upon hearing this: "What did you say?"
Yang Qixia raised her chin and deliberately elongated her tone and said, "Oh, don't you know that the fifth girl doesn't know that the old princess thinks that you are not worthy of being the first wife, but she can't bear to let you marry, so she plans to let you be a sidekick to the prince's cousin. What about the concubine?"
Chu Jinyao's ears seemed to sound like thunder, and she was almost so shocked that she couldn't stand. Yang Qixia was satisfied to see Chu Jinyao's face turning pale, she smiled and said, "You will be a side concubine in the future, don't you want to bring me tea? Oh, saying this, I have to call you sister. Five younger sister?"
Chu Jinyao's complexion faded, she really did not expect that the palace of Huailing County would dare to go so far. She thought that this matter was nothing more than satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the Prince's Palace. If she was satisfied, everyone would be happy to be in-laws. If she was dissatisfied, she would reject it completely. However, how could the county prince's mansion be so humiliating, clearly saying that it was okay, but when he turned around, he asked her to be a concubine? The side concubine said it nicely, and she can be on the royal jade plate, but, isn't this a concubine
Chu Jinyao's hands and feet were cold, and in her heart there was disappointment with the Prince's Palace, anger at being humiliated, and unwillingness at being wronged. What did she do wrong? Mother Su came to slander her reputation, and she was also a victim. If the county prince's mansion felt that this would damage their family's reputation, then just refused, why should they humiliate her like this
Chu Jinyao's fingertips were cold, and she didn't know if it was because of anger or the wind, and Yang Qixia had to scold in front of Chu Jinyao: "Fifth sister, why is your face so ugly? Is it too cold outside?"
Chu Jinyao couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Yang Qixia coldly and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't say these things that irritate me now, but I would find a place to hide and snicker."
Yang Qixia was frightened by Chu Jinyao's eyes, and then raised her eyebrows unwillingly: "What's wrong with me, what's so shameful? Why should I hide?"
"Since you won't cry without seeing the coffin, then I'll remind you a few more words." Chu Jinyao suddenly changed the subject, "Miss Yang, do you still remember what you and Lanze did at the end of the year when you gave the plum banquet? ?"
Yang Qixia's heart skipped two beats, and she pretended not to understand, and forcibly shied away: "What are you talking about, I don't know."
"Chu Jinmiao and the others wanted to trick me into changing my clothes. The little servant they met at the door was yours, right? I said why I couldn't find this person in the palace, because originally, this was not the palace of the prince. Servant. For the rest, do you still want to hear me continue?"
Yang Qixia was honest, bit her lip and didn't speak. Chu Jinyao glanced at her and said lightly, "If you were so sensible earlier, why would you be so embarrassed? I was too lazy to talk about you, but you insisted on jumping in front of me. I tell you, if you dare to provoke me again , I will tell the old princess, you know better than me what the old princess is taboo. At that time, I can congratulate you in advance and become the prince's side concubine. "
After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Qixia coldly and turned away. Linglong quickly followed. She was not as calm as Chu Jinyao, but her tone was full of anxiety and fear, almost overflowing: "Girl, if what she said is true, what should we do?"
"What should I do to prove it." Chu Jinyao walked quickly, her face was terrifyingly calm, "Where's your grandmother?"
Linglong felt shocked when she saw Chu Jinyao's face. Hearing Chu Jinyao's questioning, she didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied: "The old lady is talking to the old princess in front."
Chu Jinyao nodded and walked straight to the front hall. Mrs. Chu was very angry when she heard the words of the old princess. She knew that it would only be bad if she couldn't help it for a while, so Mrs. Chu didn't have a flare-up. Instead, she suppressed her temper and continued to say to the old princess: "Old in-laws, we are also ten. An old acquaintance in the coming year, Pearl gave birth to a pair of children for the palace, no one can fault her for what she has done these years, right?"
The old princess narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "The second daughter-in-law is naturally a good one."
"Before there is Pearl, and then there are five girls in our family. The old family should know that our daughters are all good characters. We have been in-laws for more than ten years, and now Pearl is still filial to you in the house, so you will bring shame to our family. ?"
"Mrs. Chu is wrong." The old princess replied, "We also know that the fifth girl is a good child, but she and her adoptive parents, and even with the shopkeeper, have not yet said anything. Madam Chu, we The palace also pays attention to other people, so how can you make us feel at ease?”
Mrs. Chu wanted to persuade the old princess to make Chu Jinyao the concubine again, but before she could come up with a speech, the door outside was suddenly pushed open. The maids kept shouting, as if they wanted to stop people, but they didn't. Old Madam Chu and the old princess heard the maid's voice, they stopped talking together, and turned to look at the door.
The precious wooden door was vigorously pushed open, and the maid followed behind and repeatedly advised: "Miss Chu Wu, the ancestors are talking inside, please don't disturb! You can't go in."
Chu Jinyao ignored the maids and servants who were blocking her. She looked directly at Madam Chu and the old princess, and called out, "Grandma."
Mrs. Chu seemed to feel something, stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"
There was also a maid who wanted to stop in front of Chu Jinyao, but Chu Jinyao pushed it away impatiently, strode over the threshold and walked towards Mrs. Chu: "Grandmother, it is your wish to marry a man and a woman. It's not uncommon to marry their family. Let's go!"
As soon as the old princess heard this, she was angry: "Presumptuous, what did you say?"
Madam Chu was relieved when she heard Chu Jinyao's words, and she was fed up with the pretentious expressions of the Lin family. But Mrs. Chu still has some scruples, everyone is here, she can talk about it, maybe there is still a chance to turn around
Chu Jinyao came over and pulled Old Madam Chu and said in a low voice but firm enough: "Grandmother, I don't like such dishonest and unrighteous people, let's go home."
Madam Chu looked at Chu Jinyao's firm eyes, and suddenly her heart calmed down. With the appearance of her granddaughter, who is not worthy of it? According to the old lady of Chu, even the empress in the palace can do it! Madam Chu returned to hold Chu Jinyao's hand and said, "Okay, let's go back."
The old princess had just been helped to stand up, and when she heard these words, she almost lost her temper. She pointed at Chu Jinyao and Mrs. Chu, and said tremblingly, "You, you..."
Mrs. Chu had never felt so proud. She turned her head and said to the old princess: "I can go back on the marriage that was already promised, and even say things like demoting my wife to a concubine. The county prince's mansion really has rules. Can't afford to climb high! Let's give up on this marriage."
After speaking, Mrs. Chu did not wait for the old princess to react, and took Chu Jinyao and the maid out. After the old princess reacted to what the old lady Chu said, she became more and more angry and raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that their family despised Chu Jinyao, so why should the Chu family say that the marriage was over? It's as if their county palace was rejected!
Not to mention how angry the old princess was, after the old lady Chu came out of the old princess, she immediately asked the maid to run over to give orders, and told the girls to pack up and go home.
Chu Jinmiao is carefully coaxing the county lord to be happy, so that after the county lord becomes the crown princess, Zhangkou can take her for a ride. When Chu Jinmiao suddenly received the news that she was going to leave, Chu Jinmiao's plan was disrupted, and she was very angry: "Okay, how do you say you should leave?"
"Four girls, hurry up, the old lady doesn't look very happy today."
Chu Jinmiao elongated her face and went out with a beating. Arriving at the second gate, Chu Jinmiao found that not only she felt inexplicable, but even Chu Zhu was surprised.
"Mother, you're leaving now? You're not talking to my mother-in-law, why are you leaving? I haven't had a good talk with you yet."
Chu Zhu looked inexplicable, Madam Chu looked at her daughter distressedly, but the water splashed by her married daughter, now that Chu Zhu belongs to Lin's family, Madam Chu was cruel and said, "Go back, we will go first. ."
"Hey, mother..."
The carriage of the Marquis of Changxing galloped away, leaving Chu Zhu alone, standing in the same place for unknown reasons.
Lin Xiyuan has been thinking about this for the past few days, and he even sent someone to inquire about Su's father and Su's mother. It would take a few days for the results of his subordinates to come back, so Lin Xiyuan could only wait anxiously. Today, when he heard that Chu Jinyao was coming, he quickly ran to the backyard, but when he came, he saw only Chu Zhu. Chu Zhu and her maid stood at the door of the hanging flowers, looking forward eagerly. Lin Xiyuan glanced around and asked inexplicably, "Second Aunt, why are you the only one? Where are the people from the Hou residence?"
Chu Zhu said angrily: "Just left, you can see it if you come to have a cup of tea earlier."
"Leave?" Lin Xiyuan was extremely surprised, "Why did they leave so quickly?"
"I don't know." Chu Zhu said, "Forget it, let's go and ask our ancestors together."
After Lin Xiyuan heard all this from his own grandmother, he almost thought the old princess was joking.
"Grandmother, what are you talking about? It's obviously the prince concubine that Ming media is marrying, so how can she be the side concubine?"
The old concubine drooped her eyelids, lay on her side on the Arhat bed, and asked the little maid to fan her: "Yuan'er, you are the lifeblood of the whole family, and your concubine should be the best woman in the world. , is the character, should also be obedient and graceful, perfect. The fifth girl of Changxing Houfu, she does not have this blessing."
"Grandmother, how do you know that she is not the best girl in the world?" Lin Xiyuan said while suppressing his anger, "In my heart, she is the best girl. What you did today is absurd. After the news spread, our county king's mansion How else should I stand up? Since it's for me to choose a wife, that's what I say." After speaking, Lin Xiyuan strode out.
When the old princess heard this, she sat up half-stretched and yelled at her grandson's back: "You come back to me! Marriage is the word of your parents, do you still want to be the master of the marriage? You don't want your own. Fame, does it mean that she doesn't even care about that woman's life?"
Lin Xiyuan was extremely angry, but when he heard the old princess' words, he had to hold back his anger and stop: "No..."
"Since you don't have this idea, then go back honestly. Your mother and I will decide this matter."
"But, grandmother..."
"I know." The old princess softened her expression and reassured Lin Xiyuan, "I didn't know before, so I didn't think about it. Now that I know what you mean, I will take it seriously."
For many years after that, Lin Xiyuan regretted this moment. At that time, it would be great if he asked one more question.
Lin Xiyuan looked at the old princess' loving and gentle eyes, and finally believed in his grandmother: "Okay, then I will rely on my grandmother to make decisions for my grandson."
Madam Chu rejected the old concubine with her high spirits, and returned to the Marquis of Changxing mansion aggressively. But when she sat in the Rongning Hall and calmed down for a while, she regretted it again.
At that time, she scolded the old princess with anger, and she felt at ease, but what should I do after that
Many people have heard about the relationship between Chu Jinyao and the county prince's mansion. Before, the two of them were close friends, and in the eyes of outsiders they were in-laws. But now, news suddenly came out that Chu Jinyao was never married. What should outsiders do? Miss Chu Jinyao
Even if Mrs. Chu was willing to give up her in-laws, she would blame the county king's mansion for reneging on her promises to outsiders. What use would everyone have other than verbally sympathizing with Chu Jinyao? The prince still did not worry about kissing. On the contrary, after Chu Jinyao withdrew, some of the ladies rushed to pick them for the prince's palace. But what about Chu Jinyao? Can you talk about good people
What's more, Chu Zhu is still the daughter-in-law of the county king's mansion, so Mrs. Chu can't tear her face off with the old princess at all.
Mrs. Chu thought about it for a whole night, and the next day, she asked Zhao to bring her relatives' Geng Tie over, and she chose to see it herself.
Before, many wives tentatively asked about Chu Jinyao's marriage. At that time, Mrs. Chu felt that Chu Jinyao was going to be the prince's concubine. How could she like these people? Now that the concubine of the world is not ready, Mrs. Chu is in a hurry, and if she chooses from the family of the person who handed in the Geng Tie, where can she find a good one.
Mrs. Chu was silent for two days. On the third day, she finally called Chu Jinyao over and said, "Five girls, what do you think about the matter of the Prince's Mansion?"
Chu Jinyao was very surprised: "Isn't it over? Their family is too deceiving. They want me to be their concubine. It's a dream."
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Jinyao as if she was looking at a child who was in the period of rebellion, and Mrs. Chu said, "It's good for you to have a broken heart, but in life, you can't rely on your backbone to eat. Because I was busy with the matter of the county prince's mansion before, I was delayed in telling you about my relationship, and now many ladies know about you and the prince, if this matter is suddenly known, I am afraid it will be bad for you and the family."
When Chu Jinyao listened to it, it was an eye-opener. She widened her eyes in disbelief: "But grandma, they asked me to be the concubine, not the prince concubine! My aunt is still the second wife of the Hou's mansion. If I really want to be humble and be a concubine, then you should let my aunt be the second wife. How do you get along with your cousins?"
"Can a royal concubine be the same as an ordinary concubine?"
"But they don't have the surname Qin! What if the surname is Qin? Why should I be a concubine?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Chu was almost scared to death by Chu Jinyao's words, "What kind of surname is Qin and not Qin? You can talk about the family's affairs? Who taught you such words?"
Chu Jinyao bit her lip and said, "No one taught me."
Only then did Mrs. Chu feel that her heart was put back in her stomach. She looked at Chu Jinyao and couldn't help but sighed and persuaded bitterly, "Jinyao, there will always be many helpless things in life. If there is a better I wouldn't say such a thing to choose. I also want you to marry in a beautiful and beautiful way, so that you can embarrass those people in the palace of Huailing County. However, things in the world are not what we want!"
When Mrs. Chu said this, she rarely choked up: "This is probably a person's life. She is a good girl, but she can't meet good people. It was like this when I was young, and it is still like this when it comes to you. "
The light in Chu Jinyao's eyes gradually died down, she understood what Mrs. Chu meant, and Mrs. Chu did find a way. However, the result was so unfair that the person who broke the contract first was unscathed, while she had to face no harm. Married situation. Mrs. Chu saw that Chu Jinyao had listened, and continued: "Don't worry, the county and the prince's manor are in the wrong, and they will definitely find someone to be a lobbyist in a few days, but you can just cry and show a little haggard, and I will give it to you. You fight for an explanation. Even if you are a side concubine, let them treat you no less than the main room. "
The more Chu Jinyao listened, the more she could not help but say, "Grandmother, after all, they are also a county king's mansion. Although they are higher than our family, how high can they be? We are also a serious mansion, father. You also hold the military power, why should you be so low and small, and let our own daughters be their concubines?"
"If the old princess dared to say that she wanted our daughter to be the side concubine in the former Huailing County Palace, I would naturally ignore her, and maybe I would end the relationship. However, now their family is different now, and they have to shake their wings and fly. That's it." Mrs. Chu said, "Since you have already asked here, it's okay for me to tell you. The Lin family spent a lot of money and asked someone to speak to the old lady of Zhenbei Hou's mansion. The old lady of Zhenbei's mansion Being coaxed happily, I said personally, I want to enter the palace and tell the queen for the county owner. Do you know who the Zhenbeihou Mansion is?"
"I know." Chu Jinyao was a little lost, and said in a low voice, "Zhenbei Hou is the elder brother of the Empress and the uncle of His Royal Highness."
Mrs. Chu was a little surprised: "You actually know? It's okay if you know, I'll explain it to you. Since you know the background of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, you should know that although we are both Hou's Mansion, our family and others are completely different. It can't be compared. Zhenbei Hou's mansion is the queen's family, the emperor's husband, the princess and the prince have to retreat when they see it. The servants of Zhenbei's mansion are more respectable than the five-rank officials in the capital. The Lin family can find someone to talk to Zhenbei The old lady of the Hou Mansion, the crown princess has basically stabilized for the most part. The old lady Qi is the mother of the queen, and the queen will not refuse her words, and the emperor obeys the queen. As long as the queen approves, then This matter can be finalized. It is precisely because of this that the old princess and the princess of the county dare to be so arrogant, because their family will soon have a princess!"
Chu Jinyao's words almost reached her throat, but in the end she held back her words. Because of Empress Wenxiao's affairs, the prince and Xiao Qi were like water and fire, and even criticized the Zhenbei Houfu. Huailing County Prince's Mansion went to look for Xiao Qi and walked around, did he really go to kiss him
I'm afraid it's not about revenge.
But Chu Jinyao didn't say these words. The matter of the prince and the queen is too far away from her. Even if the county lord finds the wrong person, if he really leaves a name with Xiao Qi, even if the crown prince is not successful, it is still possible to change the prince or princess. The county owner's husband's family is not bad no matter what, and the real worry is Chu Jinyao herself.
Mrs. Chu also said, "The Prince's House of Huailing County has let our direct daughter be the concubine. This is why they can't be the concubine, but if it is the natal family of the Crown Princess, do you think it is appropriate to be the concubine?"
Naturally deserves it. As far as the palace of Huailing County is still an ordinary dignitary, if the county lord becomes the crown prince, then the Lin family will immediately become the second mansion of Zhenbei Hou, jumping into the class of top dignitaries. It's more than enough to make a young lady of the last Houfu who is not inferior to the prince's concubine.
Chu Jinyao closed her eyes and was disheartened: "Grandmother, must I do this? Can't I not marry?"
