Family Has a Concubine

Emperor Zhengxuan personally granted Chu Yunpan the Marquis of Zhenxi, and the Imperial Academy hurriedly wrote the imperial decree, and after Chu Yunpan returned to the mansion, he went to the Chu family to announce the decree formally.

At that time, the court was over, and Bi Zhangyuan watched Chu Yunpan leave, and then returned to the Imperial Academy.

Chen Zhiheng, Zhao Fanxu and others were gathered together, chattering and discussing.

Zhao Fanxu said passionately: I knew that Yunpan would definitely be able to protect the territory of our Daqi and drive out the thieves! He is really a hero of our Daqi! Now that we have finally defeated Xilu and captured Nanman, what will we gain? Reward.

That's right! Some editors and waiters echoed repeatedly, some were sour, and some were proud.

Chen Zhiheng sneered: Brother Zhao, didn't you say that Yun Pan was going to die before?

You, what are you talking nonsense about? When did I say that? Yes, there is nothing wrong with it! Zhao Fanxu felt a little guilty at first, but at the end, he was confident.

He never said that! Really do not have! Although he couldn't help mocking in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth. Because the emperor asked him to go, how dare he say that the emperor sent someone to die.

Chen Zhiheng chuckled: I don't know who said before that my niece and son-in-law love to commit suicide.

In the past, we were too blind to see Mount Tai. Zhao Fanxu laughed, and patted Chen Zhiheng: Thinking about it now, being the number one student in high school at the age of eighteen is not ordinary!

Zhao Fanxu was bitterly jealous of Chu Yunpan at first, but since Chu Yunpan won the first battle, then he beheaded the general of the golden sword, recaptured Yingcheng, and captured Nanman...Zhao Fanxu began to feel that Chu Yunpan fell on his feet Little rock, I want to move it, but it's so hard! In the end, the stone became bigger and bigger, and he suffered more and more, wanting to move it away.

Until finally, the stone became a mountain!

Well, Zhao Fanxu has lost his temper after being suppressed! This is a mountain that cannot be moved! Then don't move!

No matter how much jealousy or unwillingness in the past, it all turned into a clear spring of Ichihiro's flattery and flattery, so refreshing and nourishing!

How do you say, he is from the Chu family! He is from a famous family, and he is from a family of generals! He should have been a general! After speaking, Zhao Fanxu took it for granted. It was not that he lost or was inferior to others, but that, People are different from them. Now becoming a general is actually destined from birth.

As soon as this remark came out, the Hanlin Academy was a little jealous of Chu Yunpan, but now it was also infected by Zhao Fanxu, well, it was instantly redeemed by Zhao Fanxu, an old man who is timid!

The corner of Chen Zhiheng's mouth twitched.

Hey, what are you arguing about! A cold shout sounded, and Bi Zhangyuan came in with his hands behind his back.

Headmaster, how is Yun Pan? Chen Zhiheng hurried forward. The only one who can go to court is Bi Zhangyuan.

Bi Zhangyuan snorted coldly: I have been granted the title of Marquis of Zhenxi.

Ah! Hahaha! Chen Zhiheng burst out laughing, My niece and son-in-law are Lord Hou!

Everyone in the Hanlin Academy gave a yell, are you shameless?

I will write the edict of the Marquis! Chen Zhiheng said excitedly.

I'll write it! I'm the second place. Zhao Fanxu pushed forward.

I'll come, I'll come, I'm the waiter, and I was the last champion.

The people of the Hanlin Academy were overjoyed and excited, making a fuss and scrambling to come forward.

Shut up! Bi Zhangyuan put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, This Zhangyuan... write it!

Chen Zhiheng and the others were startled, and then burst out laughing.

The office room A was noisy and full of joy, and almost all the people from the entire Hanlin Academy crowded into Room A.

In the official room B, there was only one person sitting behind the desk quietly revising the Records of the Former Dynasty, and it was none other than Chu Pingfeng.

Chu Yunpan became famous, but Chu Pingfeng felt like a person on a small boat, rolling with the ups and downs of the waves in the vast and boundless sea.

Chu Yunpan...

This person obviously doesn't have much contact with him, but Chu Yunpan always affects his emotions and mind. It's ridiculous, he seems to regard Chu Yunpan as an old enemy.

But Chu Yunpan can't even remember who he is!

At this moment, Chu Yunpan became a hero.

Even a vulgar villain like Zhao Fanxu can accept this fact with an open mind, but he... can't let it go!

If it hadn't been for Chu Yunpan to overwhelm him, if it hadn't been for Chu Yunpan's daughter-in-law preventing him from being with Minmin...how could he have come to this point!

He is not reconciled, nor is he reconciled to mediocrity!

One day, he will be an extremely human minister... But, without Minmin, what's the point of being an extremely human minister... But at least, doing so proves that he was right to marry Liao Jueyao. Bear with me for now...

However, thinking of having to endure the ridicule from his colleagues and the white eyes of the Liao family, Chu Pingfeng felt uncomfortable and collapsed.

In the past, he could bear all these ridicules! Because I have never seen the sun, I can bear the darkness. But God let him see the sunshine, how could he bear it anymore?

In the past, he felt that the only way was in front of him, but as a result, Qi Min became the head of the county. If he hadn't married Liao Jueyao, he would have been able to rise to the top and have a bright future, but now he has to suffer all kinds of ridicule and humiliation...

Obviously there is Minmin's broad road, but he wants to walk on Liao Jueyao's narrow path full of knife points and thorns... How can he not regret and feel sad.

...

In Fengyi Palace, the light yellow gauze curtain hangs down with the carved dragon pillars, and the Jingtai three-legged elephant trunk incense burner on one side is fragrant.

Empress Zheng was sitting on the couch, doing homework with Ye Tangcai who was sitting next to her. In the huge palace, there were only two people, and there were a few court ladies not far away, which seemed a bit deserted.

Your Majesty. At this moment, Nanny Shi walked in and looked at Ye Tangcai with a smile, Congratulations Madam, the general has been named Marquis.

Ye Tang was overjoyed and said with a smile, Thank you for letting me know.

This is really a great joy. Empress Zheng smiled, Where is the general now?

Go back to your majesty, the general was invited by the emperor to the upper study. Madam Shi said.

Oh, there must be something important to discuss. Empress Zheng looked at Ye Tangcai, After all, the border war is too closely related, and the two clans still have to negotiate a peace, and there are still a lot of things to be resolved. These days, General Chu is afraid that he will stay in the He is in the palace, this is the emperor's favor for him. It's getting late now, Madam will go home first, and tell the family the good news of being a Marquis.

Ye Tangcai had expected that he would stay in the palace, so she nodded, Okay, thank you empress.

By the way, Nanny Shi, take out that mask. Empress Zheng said with a smile.

Yes. Madam Shi turned and left, and after a while, she came back with a tray.

The tray is covered with red silk, and on it is a set of silk-wrapped coral tortoiseshell heads. Although the color is not gorgeous, the color is calm and luxurious, and you can tell it is a treasure at a glance.

Ye Tangcai thanked again, then turned and left.

Nanny Shi sent the people to Donghuamen, and only went back after Ye Tangcai got into the carriage.

When Nanny Shi returned to Fengyi Palace, she smiled and said, I've already gone back.

Really. Empress Zheng rubbed her temples, Didn't the whole street be hung with colored flags?

I heard... Shi Momo's mouth twitched, It seems... that it was because the general's wife couldn't see the flags hanging all over, that's why she ran down.

Empress Zheng choked, was she shooting herself in the foot?

Now that the general has seen her, then tonight... Shi Momo said.

I saw it, I got it, so I feel even more uncomfortable! Zheng Empress's red lips curled up with an ambiguous smile, I heard from the people in Yingcheng that our young Lord Marquis has become self-disciplined, and the border war It was difficult, and there was no chance to go outside for recreation. After he came out of Nanman, the emperor was afraid that he would do something earth-shattering again, so he hurriedly recalled him back to Beijing, traveling day and night, and the schedule was hasty.

It's been a few months. Shi Momo's old eyes shone brightly, Now it happened suddenly, the emperor wants to lock him in the palace...

Empress Zheng smiled: Mingyu, go tell her to get ready.

A maid in Tsing Yi not far away agreed, then turned and left.

...

After Chu Yunpan entered the study, he talked with Emperor Zhengxuan for a whole afternoon. In the evening, Chu Yunpan had dinner with Emperor Zhengxuan again, and did not leave until Wushi.

Emperor Zhengxuan was really tired all day long, and he also understood Chu Yunpan's journey day and night, so he ordered him to go down early to rest.

Chu Yun climbed out of the study, and the brothers Yu Yang and Yu Han in the distance hurried over: Third Master.

Master Hou, please go with the servant! A little eunuch said and led Chu Yunpan through the long corridor.

At this moment, a court lady in Tsing Yi stepped forward and said with a smile, See you, Lord Hou. Then she looked at the little eunuch: Eunuch Li, the empress is here to invite you.

This... Eunuch Li was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Chu Yunpan.

Is the eunuch going to take Master Hou to Minghua Palace? The maid in Tsing Yi smiled. It's better to let the slaves lead the way! If there are people staying in the palace, they usually live in Minghua Palace.

Master Hou... Eunuch Li looked back at Chu Yunpan.

Chu Yunpan smiled faintly: Elder-in-law, go quickly, just let this girl guide me.

Then please leave, Lord Hou. Eunuch Li saluted, then turned and left.

The maid in Tsing Yi sized Chu Yunpan up and said with a smile, Master Hou, please.

As he spoke, he led the way ahead.

Chu Yunpan and Yu Yang followed her through the long corridor, seeing palaces and pavilions scattered all the way, exotic flowers and fresh grass, indescribably luxurious.

Passing by two octagonal pavilions, this area is a small garden with small bridges and flowing water, and beautiful scenery of rockery.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi pointed to the small garden and said with a smile: Master Hou, passing through this garden, the palace you can see is the Minghua Palace. I have something important to do, so I will leave first.

Okay. Chu Yunpan nodded.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi gave a salute, turned around and left.

Yu Yang pouted: Why are you so anxious?

Chu Yunpan raised his eyebrows lightly: Let's go quickly.

As he spoke, he walked into the small garden in front of him.

The sky had already darkened, and there were lanterns and garden lights everywhere in the imperial palace, and there were also two garden lights lit in this small garden, which gave this small garden a hazy and quiet beauty.

The running water not far away is tinkling, and the coolness of the autumn wind makes people feel very comfortable and peaceful.

Chu Yunpan walked in, but saw a graceful figure approaching slowly on the small bridge in the distance.

In the dim night, in the dim and hazy light, I saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Wearing a pea-green white floral cross-neck skirt, holding a veiled red veil in her arms, her waist is slender, and the overlapping lapels swaying gently as she walks. Holding a small flower basket in one hand, and a few flowers that cannot be seen clearly in the other hand, they are putting them into the flower basket.

The man approached slowly, and his beautiful face became clearer and clearer. With a small oval face, peach blossom eyes sparkling, and vermilion lips, she is actually a charming and charming girl.

Hush. ​​Seeing this girl, Yu Yang quickly pulled Chu Yunpan's clothes from behind.

The girl seemed to have just discovered the existence of Chu Yunpan, her delicate face showed a surprised expression, then she walked forward slowly, and gave a soft blessing: See Lord Hou.

While talking, a pair of peach blossom eyes raised slightly, looking at Chu Yunpan hesitantly.

Although Chu Yunpan is well-known, but after all, he has just been promoted, and not everyone can recognize him.

However, the girl in front of him accurately called out his identity. On such an occasion, in the fortified palace, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared here. It was very unruly to look at him with such eyes. It was obvious that she was here to spoil him!

The girl stared at the handsome man in front of her with a clear expression. He faced a large group of men all day long at the border. He had been dry for several months, and he was still young and vigorous. Suddenly, a beauty bumped into him. How could he bear it...

As a side branch girl of the Zheng family, she can only be the official wife of some small households, otherwise she will be a concubine for those high-ranking officials.

And she was beautiful, and her parents wanted to curry favor with the clan, so she was doomed to be a concubine for those high-ranking officials and nobles.

Originally, she thought that her future destination would be some kind of old man or a rich and timid person, but unexpectedly, this was a young Marquis. Not only is he a great military hero, but he is also a great hero who is famous in the court and the public. He is also handsome, with this cool and gorgeous temperament and appearance, he can compete with Liang Wang, who is known as the most beautiful man in the capital.

The girl was more satisfied and willing in her heart, and looked at him with adoring and earnest eyes, but she saw Chu Yunpan's expression was cold, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

The girl thought he had some scruples, so she said softly: Little girl Hong'er. Lord Hou is fighting for the country at the border. The battlefield is full of endless yellow sand. He will definitely miss the purple flower in Beijing, so Hong'er is here to send flowers. .”

As she spoke, she looked at him expectantly.

That means, she said she came to vote for him, and wanted to make him a small one, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.

No, Chu Yunpan's blue and ink eyes flashed a cold light, and with a sneer, he passed her by, leaving with cold steps, and Yu Yang and Yu Han behind him hurriedly caught up with him.

Master Hou... Zheng Hong'er was startled, and was about to catch up, but didn't want to, but heard brothers Yuyang chatting in front——

Who is this? Yu Yang muttered.

I don't know, I must have come to hook up with the third master. Yu Han said.

Hey, this looks too much...

That's right, not half as good-looking as the third grandma. I don't know who gave her the courage.

What does it mean to look too big? What do you mean not half as good-looking as the third grandma? Zheng Hong'er has been top-notch in appearance since she was a child, she has never been described like this before.

Now hearing Brother Yuyang's conversation, his little face became stiff, touching his own little face, a little suspicious of life.

Then I heard the people in front say: Third Master, Third Master, what do you think?

ugly!

The last word hit Zheng Hong'er so hard that she finally couldn't hold back, and ran away crying with a groan.

Originally, the empress told her that even if the other party refused to accept it indifferently, she had to do her best to entangle her. As the saying goes, no one can resist it.

But now, Chu Yunpan has completely destroyed her self-esteem with the word ugly! Where can I stay.

Zheng Honger trotted all the way, and finally returned to Fengyi Palace.

Empress Zheng was talking to Nanny Shi, when a palace maid in Tsing Yi walked in: Your Majesty, Miss Hong'er is back.

What? Empress Zheng was taken aback, frowning slightly.

Why did you come back? Shi Momo's expression was not very good, Let her in quickly.

The maid promised to turn around and go out, and after a while, she saw Zheng Hong'er walking in with red eyes, shrunken body and shivering.

Still holding the flower basket in her hand, she timidly raised her head and glanced at Empress Zheng: Empress Empress...

Why are you back? Didn't you be asked to serve Lord Chu in Minghua Palace? Mother Shi who spoke said, Didn't you see anyone?

I see... Zheng Hong'er murmured.

I see, why did you come back? Shi Momo said coldly, Didn't I tell you that he has to pester you even if he doesn't want you to serve you?

Zheng Hong'er's face turned blue and pale, she was too embarrassed to say those words, it was too hurtful to her self-esteem, too embarrassing! But if you don't explain it clearly, the Empress will definitely not spare her.

Zheng Hong'er gritted her teeth: He said I... ugly...

Ugly? Empress Zheng and Nanny Shi froze, and then looked at Zheng Hong'er.

Zheng Hong'er's face turned blue and white after being scrutinized by them, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and burrow into it. It hurt her self-esteem too much. Is she really ugly?

Empress Zheng and Nanny Shi looked at Zheng Hong'er, and thought of Ye Tangcai today, she was not well.

Zheng Hong'er was not ugly at all, and she was a top-notch beauty, but compared with Ye Tangcai, she was indeed not half as handsome as Ye Tangcai.

Chu Yunpan has been spoiled by the peerless beauties at home all day long, so other beauties naturally cannot catch his eyes.

Thinking about it, Empress Zheng stroked her temples with her slender hands, and said coldly: Okay, you can go down and rest first.

Zheng Hong'er agreed aggrievedly, and left following the footsteps of the maid.

If it's for other reasons, I can let her pester her for a while, but now...the appearance can't catch his eye, so it won't work. Shi Momo said with a livid face.

Empress Zheng's slightly round face was dark and silent.

...

But in the evening, Ye Tang picked out the palace gate and went all the way to Chu's house in the north of the city.

It was the carriage in the palace, and it sent her straight to the Chuihua Gate in the west corner of Chu's house before leaving.

Seeing Ye Tangcai come back, Qing'er and Xiaozong hurried over, Third grandma.

Yeah. Ye Tangcai nodded with a smile, Have Qiuju and Huiran come back yet?
