Empress Chu

Qi Leyun hurriedly grabbed his father, and hastily repeated what he said earlier. Qi's father felt that his ears were full of Chu Ling, his expression changed from surprise to thoughtfulness.

"What's going on?" He said, "Everyone is mentioning Chu Ling recently? This name has been silent for more than ten years."

"Because his daughter beat Miss Liang's family." Qi Leyun said.

Mother Qi smiled, handed the tea to Father Qi, and said, "Because Your Majesty has poured tea all over Liang Siqing's body."

It sounds like two different things, but Father Qi, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, immediately understood: "I've heard about this too."

"Father, look, Chu Ling didn't care to teach his daughter, but instead went to His Majesty to sue Liang Siqing, isn't it rampant and unreasonable!" Qi Leyun said, resentful, "What did Chu Zhao say today, is their garden good? Well, why no one dared to snatch it, it's because of her father—it's really funny."

When she said this, the smiling Qi Lingshi babbled suddenly, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Speaking of this, I seem to think of something."

Qi Leyun was interrupted and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qi Lingshi twirled his beard and seemed to be trying to recall: "A long time ago, it seems that Chu Ling just wrote a letter to scold His Majesty, and His Majesty was furious and reprimanded him. Then, not long after, Wang Zhuang, the Weaving and Dyeing Order of the Shaofu Supervisor, suddenly exiled, because a case full of his crimes lay on His Majesty's desk."

Qi Leyun stomped her feet: "Father, you are talking about Chu Ling! What are you talking about about the Weaving and Dyeing Department?"

Qi Lingshi signaled her not to worry, and then said: "It happened suddenly at the time, and everyone didn't pay attention to it. As an official, it's just like this. Greedy, always counting other people's property, before being arrested, she even said that she wanted to change Chu Yuan into Wang Yuan, because Chu Ling lost power, so he can divide his property—"

Qi Leyun looked at his father and stomped his feet again: "What about Chu Ling—"

Qi Lingshi looked at her thoughtfully: "Yes, because you mentioned Chu Ling, I suddenly thought that Wang Ling was accused of crimes and exiled, is it because of calculating Chu Ling's family property?"

Chapter 20 Anne

Chu Zhao said those words in the garden to keep these girls calm.

Even if they are not calm, let them ask their family.

Their family members are well-informed and know more about the past, plus she swaggered and scolded Liang Siqing in front of Liang Siqing's door earlier, but Liang Siqing didn't respond and closed the door to reveal the matter and never mentioned it again. Think about it, their The family members should calm down and realize that her father, General Wei Chu Ling, although he has a bad reputation, is not easy to bully.

Chu Zhao can't understand the effect of those girls outside, but she can understand it at night at home.

There are several more dishes for dinner.

Linglong, Chu Tang's maidservant, came to prepare vegetables in person: "This is Miss A Tang's favorite food, but the kitchen is lazy, and she would only cook it once in three or four days. Miss A Tang specially ordered it to be made for Miss A Zhao tonight. Try it."

Chu Zhao didn't say anything, and ate as he said.

"Miss A Tang originally wanted to come here in person, but thinking about the things she did before, I'm afraid it will make you feel uncomfortable." Linglong said frankly, "So let the servant come over and express my apologies."

Chu Zhao admired Chu Tang for this. Normally, he would say that an apology should be done in person and be sincere, but in fact, it is easy to coerce the other party in many cases. It seems that the apology must be accepted, which makes the other party even more frightened and angry.

Or this side is more suitable for girls.

Chu Tang was able to get along well with these girls from higher status than herself in the capital, she was indeed a smart girl.

Also a very cold girl.

Chu Zhao looked at the dishes delivered, and when there was no stake, he didn't treat her as a younger sister. Once he realized that the stakes were high, he immediately bowed his head.

But in the last life when she became a queen, Chu Tang didn't get close to her much, and when he saw her, he looked indifferent and disdainful. Later, the family became like that, and instead of crying to her for help, he wanted to kill her ——

Obviously, Chu Tang in that life didn't think she had any stakes.

So when Chu Tang assassinated her, he said, "If it weren't for my father, you would be the queen?"

Did she marry Xiao Xun because of her father or her uncle?Chu Zhao couldn't help being lost in thought.

"Miss A Zhao." Seeing her silence, Linglong became more cautious, "If you have anything to say, Miss A Tang said, just say it, if you want to see her, she will come over immediately."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "No, you tell her, I understand what you mean, and since she understands, I can rest assured."

Linglong heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and answered repeatedly: "Miss A Tang said, Miss A Zhao is simple and natural, elegant and generous, as expected."

Is that right? I didn’t know the foolish country people, and they became simple and natural again. Chu Zhao smiled, picked up the chopsticks and ate the food: "These dishes are really delicious. Thank you for me, A Tang. Her kindness is appreciated by me. Got it."

Linglong happily said that was really great: "Miss Azhao, if you want to eat, just tell me." She didn't stay any longer, and resigned knowingly.

Walking out of the small courtyard here, the smiling Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her shoulders.

The little girl who carried the lamp to illuminate the road giggled, "Why are you so nervous, sister?"

Isn't it just pretending to coax this country girl?

Linglong originally thought so too, but when she spoke, her own feelings and the reaction of the country girl were different from what she imagined.

It seemed that she was facing an adult, and she could see through her mind at a glance.

It may be due to psychological reasons. Ms. Chu Zhao's behavior and speech during this period are as if there is a mountain behind her, full of momentum.

Chu Tang didn't have dinner with her parents either, because she didn't want to talk to Jiang Shi, and they broke up. She didn't bother to talk to her mother. As for her father——

Chu Tang pouted, did his father really not know, or was he pretending to be confused?In order to maintain the image of Chu Ling being implicated in his dissatisfaction.

When Linglong came back, Chu Tang had already eaten, and she was sitting crookedly by the window, holding a book and reading it from time to time, listening to a little girl whispering beside her.

"—According to the young lady's order, I didn't make a sound. I deliberately let Qi Leyun's maid speak first, and then repeated it with an unbelievable exclamation—"

"—so that it won't be taken as my own—"

Seeing Linglong coming in, the little girl stopped talking, smiled sweetly and called her sister, and served Linglong tea and water courteously.

Everyone wanted to climb up to the position of the big girl, and when they got the chance, they would go to the young lady, Linglong curled her lips, kicked the little girl out, and said to Chu Tang: "Everything is done."

After listening to Linglong's report, Chu Tang held the book and laughed, "Miss Azhao is really different from before. I thought she was a careless and silly girl, but she turned out to be very wise and stupid."

Linglong asked, "Then what do we do next?"

Chu Tang changed his posture and leaned on the pillow, and continued to read the book in his hand: "You don't need to do anything, just listen to her."

……

……

Chu Tang didn't come to look for her again, and those girls didn't come to the door again, Jiang and her uncle wanted to deliberately snub her, Chu Zhao was comfortable behind closed doors.

But her news is not blocked.

Knowing that Miss Atang reads and writes every day, Mr. Chu Ke goes out every day.

Ale said: "Mr. A Ke spent many days with a group of young masters in restaurants and tea shops. Today, he went to Wangchun Garden and got the qualification to enter the garden. He can participate in the third prince's literary meeting."

Chu Zhao remembered the third prince's literary meeting, there was such a literary meeting in his previous life.

It was very grand, and scholars from all over the world flocked to the capital, wanting to enter Wangchun Garden.

At that time, the girls also talked about it for a long time, but the third prince only let men participate.

Several aristocratic women persuaded the princess, and asked the two princesses to go to the third prince to let the women participate, but the third prince scolded them for misconduct, mocking the women for coming to the literary club to see men, and ruining his innocence.

The two princesses were so angry that they ran to the emperor to cry, but the emperor didn't care, and ran to the prince to cry, and the prince scolded the third prince.

After this incident, even if the third prince asked the girls to participate, the girls would avoid the Wenhui and scold the third prince in private.

But the third prince is even more sought after by scholars, saying that this is the character of a scholar.

In fact, the third prince is not a scholar at all, but a thug.

The third prince, who had always regarded himself as a scholar, did evil deeds such as ambush and kill the prince, set fire to the East Palace, and did not spare a cat or a bird.

That robbery destroyed the crown prince, the third prince himself, and also destroyed the false prosperity and peace of Daxia, and it began to be turbulent and torn apart.

Chu Zhao looked out of the window, and the Wangchunyuan Wenhui was the prelude to this conspiracy.

It is also the prelude to her being involved in the conspiracy.

She met and fell in love with Xiao Xun when all the people in the capital were paying attention to the Wenhui, and then mixed in the happy event of congratulating the third prince on successfully holding the Wenhui. As another happy event for the royal family, she married Xiao Xun.

Chu Zhao clenched his hands tightly.

"Mr. A Ke went to the post office to visit the Prince of Zhongshan after he obtained the qualification to enter the garden." Ale continued from the side, "But I didn't see anyone, so I don't know if the Prince of Zhongshan is not here or not. "

In that life, she did not beat anyone to escape, and Chu Ke was guarding the gate of the academy and did not return to Beijing, nor did she have the opportunity to participate in this literary meeting.

In this life, because of her, Chu Ke wandered around the capital——

Chu Zhao smashed his clenched hands on the table, broke his legs and shut him up at home.

Chapter 21 Arrangements

Chu Ke put the post of Wangchunyuan Wenhui on the table heavily.

"Father, mother, look, I got it." He said proudly.

Chu Lan and Jiang Shi went to read the post together, and a round-faced maid gave Chu Ke tea.

Chu Ke didn't answer, and drank tea from the maid's hand. The round-faced maid tiptoed to feed him. The two looked at each other and smiled sweetly. Chu Lan saw it, dropped the post, and coughed heavily.

Chu Ke coughed chokingly, and the maid hurriedly backed away with her head lowered. Mrs. Jiang glared at Chu Lan, complaining that he scared her son.

Chu Lan stopped scolding and asked, "How did you get it?"

Of course he also knew about Wangchun Garden, and some friends also said that he should go as a famous Ouyang Shangshu.

Of course he refused to go - if he was invited, he would think about it, but the person who held the literary meeting was the noble third prince, not only did he not invite anyone, but he also set up a threshold, and he was allowed to participate only after passing three tests at the entrance.

Of course, it's not that he can't get through, it's just that he's a bit too shameless.

He quietly looked at the level copied by his friends, it was not easy.

According to Chu Ke's qualifications——

Hearing his father's question, and seeing his father looking at him, Chu Ke was a little embarrassed: "Of course I answered the question and got it."

Chu Lan was still suspicious and asked, "You answered so well?"

This time, Mrs. Jiang was not happy: "What are you talking about, Ake has been studying with you for more than ten years!"

If it's not good, is he not good?Chu Lan frowned and coughed lightly: "Study and learn, why don't you let me ask?"

Chu Tang clapped his hands for his elder brother, "My elder brother is amazing." He asked with a smile, "Can I go? I have also studied with my father for more than ten years."

Chu Ke hurriedly said: "I really asked for my sister, but it was said over there that it is a literary meeting for scholars, and women are not allowed to participate."

Chu Tang sighed: "Women also study, so can't they be scholars?"

"Don't mess around." Chu Lan warned, "That's the third prince."

Chu Tang smiled: "No, I'm not Ah Zhao."

Jiang smiled and pulled her to sit beside her, looking at her daughter and son, she was satisfied, the sons she raised were the best.

Chu Lan began to tell Chu Ke to work harder in the future, not to get ahead in the literary conference, but not to be embarrassing.

Chu Keenen responded with ahh, and he was relieved. In fact, he didn't know how he got the post. To be honest, he only wrote two of the three levels——

He is just here to try this time, and there is still a month left.

Unexpectedly, it was posted.

Of course, this can't be told to anyone, but it can only be said that he, Chu Ke, is extremely talented, and that the third prince has a discerning eye.

"By the way, I'm going to visit the prince of Zhongshan." Chu Ke interrupted his father's lecture and said happily, "But I didn't see it. The people in the post said he wasn't there, but the prince will definitely attend Wenhu. When it comes to the post, I can see him at the literary conference."

At that time, he will go to talk to the prince of Zhongshan, and let more people see that he has friendship with the prince of Zhongshan, and the prince of Zhongshan must sit with the third prince, and the third prince will also tell him two things. In a word——

Then he, Chu Ke, has become famous in the capital.

"Father, you should have let me come back to the capital and buried me in Qiaoshan Academy."

Having said that, he sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Look, just after accepting the post, many people already miss me! Sneezes keep coming."

……

……

"Chu Ke."

In the depths of Wangchun Garden, in a small pavilion on a hill piled up by the dug lake, two fingers are pinching a piece of paper, shaking the name on it.

The fingers are white and gray, just like the third prince's face, showing a weakness that seems to have been out of the sun all year round.

"Ah Xun." The third prince used his other hand to lift the hair that was hanging over his eyes, and looked at Xiao Xun who was sitting beside him, "Do you recognize him?"

When the eunuchs sent today's letter, Xiao Xun was present, so he followed suit. When he saw a piece of paper with Chu Ke's name written on it, he paused, smiled, and then turned his gaze away.

The third prince saw it, and he stretched out his hand to leave this card, without looking at it, and asked the eunuch to send this person a name card.

"Your Highness." Xiao Xun said with a smile, "You are mistaken, what this person wrote is nonsense, I was just laughing at that."
