After the palace banquet, the court officials left one by one.
The ladies could not help but gather together and discuss the Crown Prince's shocking behavior.
Princess Changle said nothing, with a gloomy face, she strode out of the palace and got on the carriage.
Shen Ruolan was hiding something in her heart, but Princess Changle was too quiet and her face was too ugly, so she finally discovered that something was wrong with Princess Changle.
This was the first time Shen Ruolan saw her like this, and she felt a little distressed, so she comforted her: "There are still many good men at this time. The marriage between the prince and Xingnong has been arranged, so you should give up! We can find the queen mother..."
When Princess Changle heard this, her anger exploded like water drops in boiling oil. She said angrily, "Who is better? Who in the world is better than my cousin the Crown Prince? Of course you want me to give up! After all, Lord Shen is your niece! She is still a princess of the State of Jin!"
These sarcastic words stunned Shen Ruolan, and she couldn’t react for a while.
At this time, Wen Ruiqing also entered the carriage. He asked excitedly, "Is the Queen of Jin the eldest sister? Princess Xingnong is Xingnong, right?"
The emperor had arranged for Xing Nong to be married to the prince, but after the eunuch who delivered the decree came back, he realized that the person who had snatched his daughter's position as the crown princess was actually Shen's niece!
I originally thought that if Xing Nong became the Crown Princess, and my daughter married the Crown Prince, then it’s hard to say who would be the Queen in the future!
But no matter who it is, it's good for him!
I didn’t expect that Xingnong was actually a princess of Jin State!
This status is much higher than that of a county lord!
In the future, it will be very easy for me, the Minister of the Temple of Rites, to interact with the State of Jin!
With Xing Nong, the niece of the Crown Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin, he has already thought of how to gain some benefits from Jin. If he makes great contributions, won't he be promoted to a higher position? Not only that, he is the Crown Prince's uncle, and when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he can even be the Prime Minister!
Princess Changle became even more upset when she saw that Wen Ruiqing didn't worry about her at all!
This is her biological father!
Seeing that her husband was only concerned with being happy, Shen Ruoxi hurriedly said, “I’m not sure either!”
"Then let's go over to confirm! I already know where the King of Jin is staying. Let's go home and prepare some gifts and visit him!"
He had a brother-in-law who was a monarch, so he immediately found out about him and then went to establish good relations with him.
Shen Ruolan glanced at Princess Changle and nodded randomly: "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
The Grand Princess's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace and they arrived there quickly.
Chu Yuehou did not attend the palace banquet. He sent people to pay attention to the time when Shen Ruolan left the palace, and then calculated the time and rode past Princess Pingyang's mansion on horseback.
Shen Ruolan's carriage had just stopped at the gate of the mansion, and Wen Ruiqing was the first to get off the carriage, followed by Shen Ruoxi and Princess Changle.
When the three got off the carriage, Chu Yuehou happened to pass by on horseback, with exactly the same time.
Chu Yuehou saw the three people's carriage, pulled the reins, stopped, turned over and dismounted to greet: "Long time no see, Lord Wen."
Then his gaze seemed to fall on Shen Ruolan inadvertently.
The young woman was very beautiful, and her facial features were somewhat similar to mine.
Wen Ruiqing saw Chu Yuehou's face change, and he was already wondering why this admiral came to see him
He Ruirui said anxiously: "Grand Admiral, how are you? What's the matter with you?"
Grand Admiral? Shen Ruolan had heard that the Grand Admiral was in the capital, and all the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of him. He personally led people to raid the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Shen Ruolan turned around and prepared to salute, looked up, and then widened her eyes: “Dad?!
!”
Wen Ruiqing: “???”
Princess Changle: “?!
!
”
Shen Ruolan was so excited that she stepped forward and grabbed the Grand Admiral’s hand, tears streaming down her face: “Dad, it’s great that you are not dead!”
As expected, they are sisters, and their reactions are almost exactly the same as Shen Ruoxi’s.
Chu Yuehou looked at her holding his hand expressionlessly, but what he was thinking in his heart was: that strange feeling is coming again!
I don't even mind her touch!
You know, he doesn't like others touching him these years, especially the opposite sex.
Therefore, although he recognized Zhang Ruohua and her daughter as his adopted daughters, he was only taking care of them for his subordinate and brother, letting them be taken care of by the people in the governor's office for the rest of their lives. He himself could not get close to them at all and just wanted to stay away from them.
When Wen Ruiqing saw the Grand Admiral looking at Shen Ruoxi with a cold expression, he came back to his senses from the shock and quickly stepped forward to pull him back: "You are wrong! This is the Grand Admiral, not my father-in-law. My father-in-law died on the battlefield a long time ago."
Shen Ruoxi: “…”
Admit your mistake? How is that possible
He looks exactly like his father!
Just a little older!
But after so many years, isn't it normal to grow older
Chu Yuehou glanced at Wen Ruiqing. To be honest, he really couldn't appreciate the consort of Princess Pingyang!
According to the information held by the Governor's Office, Wen Ruiqing was able to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination with the financial support of his first wife, and then he was favored by Princess Changping and became her husband...
Anyway, this is a typical case of a man who abandons his wife and children! If he hadn't married the princess, how could Gu have broken his leg
Thinking of this, his eyes became even colder.
I feel inexplicably angry and upset!
He simply flicked his sleeves, jumped on his horse, and rode away in a cloud of dust!
Seeing Chu Yuehou angry, Wen Ruiqing felt even more uneasy. He couldn't help but blame Shen Ruoxi: "Look at you! Why do you want to recognize your father? He is the Grand Admiral, how can he be your father? If we anger the Grand Admiral, we will be in trouble!"
Shen Ruolan felt a little uneasy when she heard this.
Did he really make a mistake
After all, Dad would never disown her.
Dad loves her and her sister the most, and his eyes are always gentle.
She thought of the admiral's cold eyes just now, and walked away in disgust. She was no longer sure, and only said, "But he really looks like my father."
Princess Changle couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She had a brother-in-law who was the King of Jin, and a father who was a great admiral
Why doesn't she go to heaven
She was so upset that she turned around and walked straight into the mansion.
~
After Chu Yuehou left, he went to Xiyuan again without realizing it.
Looking at the mansion in front of me, I feel mixed emotions!
He had been planning to go back to the Admiral's Mansion, as he still had many things to do! Unexpectedly, when he came to his senses, he was actually here.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was treating Gu's leg this afternoon.
For some reason, whenever he thought of this, he wanted to come over and take a look.
Well, or maybe I wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see if the blood clot in his brain had healed.
So the admiral came to visit.
Inside the room, the family was surrounding Chu Tiankuo and Gu.
After the palace banquet, Chu Tiankuo personally sent Xingnong and the King of Jin back, and then began to treat Gu's leg.
Gu was lying on the couch. She had just taken sleeping pills and had fallen asleep.
Chu Tiankuo was giving acupuncture to her feet.
Shen Ruoxi saw silver needles inserted into her mother's legs. She couldn't bear to look at it and turned her head away.
The King of Jin immediately held her in his arms, blocking her view.
At this time, Shen Dong came to report: "Your Majesty, the Grand Admiral of Chu State wants to see you."
The King of Jin said that no one was allowed to disturb him. If someone else came to visit, Shen Dong would not dare to report it at this time, but the person who came might be the Queen's biological father!
He dared not not report it.
Shen Ruoxi’s eyes lit up, she grabbed the clothes of the King of Jin, and whispered, “It’s Dad!”
King of Jin: "...Please invite him in."
