There is a daughter of the Chu family who is brave and intelligent, holding a sword and riding a horse to protect the eldest grandson of the emperor.

For the eternal state of the country, the eldest son of the emperor, Sun Yu, was specially appointed as the crown prince, and Zhao, the daughter of the Chu family, was crowned as the crown prince.

This is it.

Chapter 8 Discussion

On this day, Qi Leyun fell off the ladder.

On this day, the whole city was in an uproar.

The emperor issued an edict certifying that the disturbance was over.

Although there are soldiers and horses patrolling the streets to track down the remnants of the party, and occasional cries and fights can be heard from the streets and alleys—it is the remnants of the party who are stubbornly resisting, but the people have already settled down.

The third prince's treason, the people were surprised but not surprised, the prince's death was unexpected, but they could only sigh.

Fortunately, the eldest grandson of the emperor was still there, and he was immediately named the prince. Although he was young, he would grow up and have successors to the dynasty.

But what happened to this princess?

The daughter of the Chu family, Zhao, has Chu Zhao become the crown princess?

This Chu Zhao is——

Well, everyone is familiar with who this Chu Zhao is.

The daughter of Chu Ling, Chu Ling was famous in the capital more than ten years ago, and more than ten years later, his daughter beat and cursed people, provoked the third prince to hold a literary meeting, and made a scene in the capital——

But no matter how much she thought about it, she never thought that she could be a princess, and she would be a queen in the future!

Chu Zhao as queen?

However, amidst the surprise, there are also those who are not surprised.

"Why can't Chu Zhao? I didn't hear what the emperor said. It was Chu Zhao who rescued the emperor's eldest grandson, holding a knife and riding a horse, and broke out of the encirclement."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog daughter."

But it is also this sentence that arouses another view.

"It is the duty of the subjects to save the emperor's grandson. If you save the emperor's grandson, your majesty can reward you and give him a reward. Why did you let the emperor's grandson marry her? Could it be that the emperor also met the grace of saving his life, and he should repay it with his own body?"

"Then is it because of En, or because of Father Tiger?"

What this means is that the prince's death of the third prince was the crime of the emperor's illness, the emperor's eldest grandson was weak, and Chu Ling, a mighty general, took the opportunity to blackmail him.

But don't forget how famous Chu Ling was more than ten years ago, how good he was at fighting, and how many strong soldiers he had——

"This is pure nonsense!"

Leaning on a wooden stick, Qi Leyun limped to find Chu Tang, filled with righteous indignation and poked the stick on the ground with a bang.

"What kind of threat? Why can't our Chu Zhao be the queen? Even if we don't say the credit for saving the emperor's eldest grandson, we Chu Zhao has both talent and appearance, and has a prominent reputation. We are not ordinary people!"

Chu Tang groaned, at that time she was standing under the wall, Qi Leyun was stepping on the ladder and lying on the wall, the servants hurriedly conveyed the content of the edict, after hearing Qi Leyun fall off the ladder, she was shocked and lost her mind.

Qi Leyun became even more energetic when she injured her foot, and she hasn't recovered yet.

Qi Leyun saw her stupefied, hey reminded a few times, and leaned over to ask: "Chu Zhao really rescued His Highness with a sword and a horse? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Chu Tang turned to look at her: "I see, it happened right outside our Chu's house. It was really a lot of casualties and blood flowed all over the ground."

Qi Leyun rubbed his arms, feeling numb all over.

"I can't see it at all." She murmured, "No wonder you didn't want me to live in your house at that time."

Chu Tang said: "Yeah, you don't know what we went through that night. Your house just burned down. My house is like a Shura field."

Qi Leyun held the wooden stick and knocked heavily on the ground: "It's too powerful! Who would have thought that Chu Zhao is so powerful!"

After that, he limped out.

"Chu Tang, prepare a car for me."

Chu Tang frowned: "You still want to go out like this?"

"Of course I have to go out, so I'll go find other people and have a good discussion. Chu Zhao should be the queen." Qi Leyun said, with an excited expression and bright eyebrows. Dignified and virtuous, the mother respects the world—”

Chu Tang was a little dumbfounded.

"Possess both ability and integrity, dignified and virtuous." She said to herself, "How do you know that?"

After all, his eyes sparkled.

Both ability and political integrity, dignified and virtuous, it turns out that I didn't have it first and then wait for others to see it.

But as long as you stand where you can be seen, you will have what you want.

No, there is!

Prince

Queen.

Chu Zhao is going to be a queen!

Chu Tang stood in the hall, clasped his hands, trembling from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

She, Chu Tang, is going to be an aunt of the country!

……

……

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the street and the noisy women, the Xie family's house was quiet and silent.

It wasn't that there was no noise, the Xie family had already received the news before the emperor's decree came out of the imperial city, and the uproar almost overturned the house.

"Princess!"

"How can you decide on the Crown Princess right now? Your Highness is only six years old!"

"Chu Zhao? Chu Zhao is already 13 years old."

"It's not about age, it's about her, Chu Zhao!"

"Your Highness, have you asked us about the marriage?"

This is the most important thing. They are also the relatives of His Royal Highness, and since the crown prince and princess are gone, they are His Royal Highness's only royal relatives.

How can you not ask Mrs. Xie about life-long events?

"Third brother, third brother, do you know?"

People and voices rushed towards Xie Yanfang's place, but they were all stopped by Du Qi.

"Everyone be quiet!" Du Qi stood on the porch and scolded in a cold voice, "Don't disturb the third son's rest."

Everyone was silent for a moment, but they refused to disperse.

"Does the third son know about the Crown Princess?" Everyone asked eagerly.

Du Qi said: "Understood."

If you know, that's good, everyone is relieved, since the third son knows, either he doesn't object, or he has a response, everything is still under Xie's control.

Watching everyone recede, Du Qi stood on the porch and didn't speak any more. What he said meant that Mr. Xie knew about it.

Like everyone, just found out.

Inside, Xie Yanfang was sitting in front of the window, holding tea in her hand and drinking slowly.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Cai Bo sat opposite, with a serious expression, "Chu Ling, what does this mean?"

Xie Yanfang lowered her eyes, her eyelashes were reflected in the teacup, she suddenly laughed, and the clear tea swayed.

He said: "Uncle Cai, when the Liang family started a quarrel, it was rumored that it was me and Yan Lai, who had no idea with Ms. Chu. In the end, Ms. Chu became the princess. No one thought of that."

Cai Bo didn't find it funny at all.

"My lord, whether the world is shocked or jaw-dropping, you can laugh it off and make it a scene, but we, Mrs. Xie, can't." There was anger in his voice, "Where does this put me, Mrs. Xie!"

Xie Yanfang drank the tea in one gulp: "My Xie's status in front of His Majesty is the same in front of Your Highness."

They are all ministers, and they are all citizens. If you are a relative, you are a relative, and if you are not a relative, you are nothing.

He put the teacup on the table.

"Cai Bo, this matter should not be what the emperor thinks, nor what Chu Ling thinks, but what Miss Chu thinks."

Cai Bo was stunned, what do you mean?Is this Chu Zhao's idea?How can this be?how could she-

Of course she can.

Xie Yanfang looked out the window, her eyes sparkled.

Because, if it were him, he would think the same way, and he would definitely do the same.

That girl really looks a bit like him.

Chapter 9 Enron

The water in the bath is rippling.

In addition to being sprinkled with a layer of flowers, goat's milk was also poured in.

Ale squatted by the pool water and stirred it with his hands: "You can still wash like this when you take a bath."

Leaning on the other side of the pool, closing his eyes and resting his mind, Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Ale, come down and try."

Ah Le was eager to try, but shook his head again: "Let's wait."

Chu Zhao opened his eyes and asked, "What are you waiting for? You don't need to wait on me, the ladies are all here."

Ah Le lowered his voice and said: "This is the palace after all, I will enjoy it after you secure your position as the princess, miss."

Chu Zhao laughed: "What kind of pleasure is this?" After finishing speaking, he got up and walked into the clear water pool on the other side to rinse.

Ale stood up and called out solemnly, "Come here."

Several maids filed in, wiped and dressed Chu Zhao after washing, surrounded her to the outside room, and sat down to comb her hair.

"Where's Ah Yu?" Chu Zhao asked.

Just as the maids were about to answer, Xiao Yu ran in from the outside.

"Sister," he called.

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "I'm asking you."

Xiao Yu stood in front of the bronze mirror, watching her comb her hair: "I'm counting the time, you should finish washing."

Ever since entering the imperial city, Xiao Yu has remained close to her. If she sleeps at night without being by her side, she will wake up in shock and cannot fall asleep. Chu Zhao can understand that the poor child lost her parents overnight, and she also narrowly escaped death. was terrified.

It's like he is holding this bamboo tube all the time.

Chu Zhao's eyes fell on Xiao Yu's arms.

Eunuch Qi had already told her that this bamboo tube contained a snake.

Generally, children are afraid of snakes, let alone hugging them all the time.

"Your Highness is also afraid. I have never played with snakes and insects before." Eunuch Qi said, "The old slave coaxed him to catch this snake and give it to His Highness the Crown Prince."

But before it was given to His Highness the Crown Prince, father and son were separated forever.

"The old slave coaxed His Highness to throw it away." Eunuch Qi said.

Chu Zhao stopped: "Let him hold it, that is his hard-to-let go of his longing."

The gift has not been sent out yet, and the child has formed an obsession, which needs to be gradually eased.

She didn't mention or ask, as if she didn't see Xiao Yu holding the bamboo tube.

"I'll comb my hair, and we'll go see His Majesty," she said.

Xiao Yu nodded, standing in front of a table as tall as himself, watching Chu Zhao comb his hair.

Chu Zhao talked to him, pointing to the jewelry on the table: "Which one looks good? How about using this?"

Xiao Yu carefully selected, and Chu Zhao asked the maid to bring the ones he selected, and A Le stood behind and couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, you have brought too much," she said.
