Empress Chu

……

The moon was high and the night was deep, and Xiao Xun didn't fall asleep either. He was drowsy at first, but was kicked away by a few words from the scribe.

"Let me go to Chu Garden?" he asked.

The scribe Nian Xu said: "My son, it is now called the Xiaowangchunyuan Wenhui."

Xiao Xun was a little surprised: "This incident has become such a big deal."

Although to be precise, this incident was initiated by him.

If he hadn't been deliberately in front of the third prince, the third prince would not have noticed Chu Ke.

His original intention was to ask Chu Ke to protect him when he was being made difficult at the Wangchunyuan Cultural Conference, and then make friends smoothly.

But after the riot at Chu Zhao Restaurant, Xiao Xun knew that Chu Ke would not go to the Wangchun Garden Wenhui again, so he threw it away.

I didn't expect things to become so big.

Of course, he knew that the girl was making a fuss with Chu Ke in the restaurant, and he also knew that the third prince would be provoked.

But he didn't care about it any more, it had nothing to do with the girl being humiliated.

In his opinion, it was a matter of time before the girl was humiliated.

Thinking about her attitude towards him, not everyone in this world has such a good temper as him.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xun asked the scribe, "You want me to help that girl?"

Before the scribe could speak, he laughed first.

"Helping this girl is different from helping Chu Ke."

Chu Zhao is hated by the third prince now, and if Chu Ke enters the Wangchun Garden and is made things difficult by the third prince, it can only be regarded as teasing.

Helping a person who was teased by the third prince is very different from helping a person who is hated by the third prince.

"Could it be that the father did not hesitate to offend the third prince in order to make friends with Chu Ling?"

Xiao Xun sighed softly, and looked outside the door into the deep night.

"Although there is already a prince, prince is just a title. If it falls on the second prince today, it will fall on the third prince tomorrow."

After listening to what he said, the scribe nodded: "Your Highness is right, but when your Highness goes to Chu Garden, it's not just to offend one party, but to make everyone happy, not only to make friends with Chu Ling, but also to make the third prince happy."

Xiao Xun was puzzled, thought about it and laughed, obviously he was smart and obedient, but his father still liked to give orders to him through others.

The scribe suddenly made this request tonight, he must have received an order from his father.

He asked the scribe: "What good idea did my father come up with? He didn't tell me first."

The scribe didn't answer, and continued: "The third prince originally intended to humiliate Miss Chu, but now the nickname Xiaowangchunyuan Literary Society has come up. The third prince is extremely annoyed that he can't step down, so he can stop Miss Chu because he is helping the third prince." , the third prince will not be angry with the eldest son."

The attitude of the girl to fight instead of admitting defeat really made the third prince hate him very much. The third prince has read the books of gentleman since he was a child, but he doesn't have the heart of a gentleman.

Xiao Xun looked aside, there was a big box sent by scribes, which contained the booklets of the Chu Garden Competition, because it is cheap and fresh, it is very popular in the market now.

The brochures are so popular.

The girl won't stop until the Third Prince's Wenhui starts, and then the whole town will not be talking about the Third Prince's Wangchunyuan Wenhui, but the Chu family's daughter's Chuyuan Wenhui.

The third prince must have smashed a room at this moment.

"Miss Chu is young and has a stubborn temper. It's not surprising that she was raised by General Chu. She can do whatever she wants in Bianjun. She just came to the capital, and she didn't know the heights of the world. In addition, Chu Ling gave her back and let her To be able to go to Liang Siqing's house and yell at her, this little girl is full of arrogance, and she doesn't look down on the third prince, but the rest of the Chu family are afraid that they will die of headache at this moment."

Xiao Xun nodded, thinking of Chu Lan, even though he only saw him at the city gate, he could see through this person, he was timid and had a good face.

"The Chu family is also looking forward to someone who can rescue them from the dire straits." The scribe continued, "So, son—"

Xiao Xun interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Kun, I'm not a child anymore, so just tell me what my father wants me to do."

The literati, surnamed Ning and surnamed Kun, was one of the masters that the King of Zhongshan found for the son, and the son always respectfully called him uncle.

Although the eldest son was born the most noble, he is a gentle person who treats those around him sincerely. As for other people, the eldest son is not the son of heaven, and cannot pity all living beings.

Ning Kun said: "Propose marriage to the daughter of the Chu family."

Chapter 43 Seedling Growth

The night is thick and the candles flicker.

With a bang, A Le, who was dozing off, hit his head on the table and jumped up in fright.

Chu Zhao smiled: "Go to bed when you're sleepy."

Ale rubbed his forehead, watching Chu Zhao holding a pen and writing seriously, with a piece of writing written by other people beside him.

Ah Le recognized that this was the name of the son who won the miss today.

Thinking of this young man, Ale looked angry. This young man was extremely rude. He had already said that he had won, but he still didn't give up. He stood in front of the table and wrote a lot of handwriting one by one, hitting the young lady's hand. body.

"This word may win you?"

"This word may win you?"

He asked again and again, but the lady could only answer "yes" over and over again.

She was going to die of anger at that time, and wished to beat the mad student, but the young lady calmly let him humiliate her, and when the crazy student flung her sleeves away, amidst the laughter of the onlookers, the young lady even bent over to pick up the papers.

Ah Le intends to burn these characters, instead of collecting and sorting them like other people's characters—now the manuscripts that have been tested in Chu Garden, the lady asked them to collect them and hand them over to the people in the bookstore.

Unexpectedly, the young lady refused to let her burn it, and she read and wrote while holding it, and wrote for a whole night.

"His handwriting is very good. I have learned some before. I was going to learn it, but Xiao—"

Chu Zhao stopped here, and Ah Le was listening, puzzled and asked, "What's the little one?"

Xiao Xun has a new concubine, and that beauty is very good at playing the piano, Xiao Xun listens to the piano every day, and plays with that beauty - Xiao Xun is also very good at playing the piano.

She dropped the words and hurried to learn the piano——

"It's nothing." Chu Zhao smiled at A Le, "I'm too young, impatient, lazy, indiscriminate, indiscriminate, blind-eyed—I didn't learn it. Now that I have this opportunity to see it, I'll pick it up and learn it. Learn."

Although he felt that what he said was a little strange, but Ah Le hurriedly nodded: "Miss is right, this is what Miss is called, and threesomes must have my teacher."

Chu Zhao stroked his palms: "Ale is amazing, everyone knows Ziyue."

Ale laughed: "I listen to so much every day, of course I can't listen to it for nothing."

She looked at the girl under the light. The girl was obviously thinner than when she was walking in the wilderness.

During the day, Miss will hold three competitions, one time fighting against ten people. Although it is not a horseback archery battle, but every time at the end, Ah Le can see that Miss's hand holding the pen is trembling, her eyes are full of red silk, and she looks like Like a piece of paper, it will fall if you blow it.

This exhaustion of mind and energy can also kill a person.

But after eating a table of meals and soaking in boiling water, the young lady is refreshed again. She studies at night, competes during the day, and studies again at night. This cycle repeats, and the lady becomes thinner and thinner day by day.

But the young lady did not become withered and weak, but became more and more radiant.

Ale took a deep breath and said, "Miss works so hard, Ale can't fall behind."

Chu Zhao reached out and caressed Ale's cheek: "I won't write another article. Apart from studying, I also need to maintain my health. Let's go to bed early. In the morning, remember to call me up to practice archery."

Ah Le nodded: "Miss, don't worry." He said again, "When the time comes, Miss will compete with these people in archery, shoot them with one arrow after another, and the arrows will be shot without missing a beat. They will wipe their faces and ask them if they are afraid, are they afraid? .”

Chu Zhao laughed.

"Miss Ah Zhao." A maid came in happily, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

This maid is not from Chu Zhao's place, but from Chu Ke's side.

Chu Ke is a scholar who prides himself on being elegant, and the maids around him also need to read and write, but they don’t need these skills in daily life. Chu Ke doesn’t take them with him when he goes out to make friends, and he doesn’t watch the maids write and read when he comes home. He just wants to read by himself When writing and composing poems, these maidservants can understand and understand, and then praise him and admire him.

But this time it came in handy.

Chu Zhao asked Ale to arrest them, guard them in the competition field, record and transcribe, and was responsible for compiling them into a book.

Chu Zhao looked at the maidservant, and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you slept yet? If you haven't finished today's work, get up early in the morning to do it, and don't stay up late."

The servant girl was a little emotional. After Miss A Zhao came to the house, Mr. A Ke didn't like this cousin, and he didn't allow them to get close to her, so as not to be contaminated with vulgarity and shallowness.

Later, Miss A Zhao beat Miss Liang first, then stole the family's money and ran away, and within a few days after returning, she beat Mr. A Ke until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen and he couldn't see anyone.

After Miss A Zhao was blocked for a competition, Mr. A Ke and Miss A Tang both hid. These maidservants had nowhere to hide and were captured by Miss Chu Zhao——

But Ms. Chu Zhao didn't bully or beat them, but let them do things.

At first, they were nervous and flustered and couldn't do well, so Ms. Azhao didn't beat or scold them, and told them to take their time.

Now he even asks them why they don't rest.

In fact, Mr. A Ke is also a very gentle boy. His older sister is older and his younger sister is younger. He often gives them fun and delicious food on the street, and he listens to too many nice words.

But I don't know why, Miss A Zhao's words made her heart soften when she asked.

"I'm about to go to bed, and I've finished packing up everything that will be sent to be printed tomorrow." The maid said softly, and immediately beamed, "Miss, look at the past few days."

She put the paper in her hand on the table, and Ale looked at it, and saw the circles and crosses on it, knowing that it was to record the victory or defeat.

"Miss, for the past three days, you have won more games every day than the day before." The maid said happily.

Chu Zhao laughed: "That's great."

Is it good to just win one more game every day?It was worth the maidservant being so happy, Ale felt that the maidservant in the capital city looked like a countryman, she snorted: "Miss will win a few more games every day, the more you win, the more you win."

In the past, the maid would feel very vulgar when she heard what Ale said. How could she brag about her master so bluntly?

She'd never thought she'd be happy with a girl who won just one more game a day than the day before.

Elder Master is a famous scholar, Miss A Tang is well-known in the city for her intelligence, she is not a country maid who has never seen the world.

Her eyes fell on the desk case, where there were stacks of books, paper, chess records, and pens that were bald.

This day, more and more wins are made by this girl in exchange for her life.

It is the most exciting thing to pay and get rewarded.

"Miss." She looked at Chu Zhao tenderly and firmly, "You will win more and more."

Chu Zhao smiled, his face calm: "As long as I dare to compete, I won't keep losing."

In her life, she learned to please men, and she left because of men. Now she has recovered and grown vigorously again. This time, she is no longer used to please men, but to win fame for herself.

When people mention her, they won't say, Chu Ling's useless daughter.

It doesn't mean that if there is a good-for-nothing father, there will be a good-for-nothing daughter.

Chapter 44 The owner

The morning light shone on the tent, and Chu Lan, who was sleeping in it, turned over and covered her face with her sleeve, but it was still useless.

He sat up angrily.

How did the night pass so quickly?The day is coming again, and Chu Garden will flood in with countless people.

"Come here, come here." He shouted angrily.

After shouting for a long time, a servant came running in instead of the usual maid around him. The servant hurriedly poured tea for him and put on his shoes, and even put the shoes on backwards for him. Chu Lan was so angry that he kicked the servant Kick over.

"Where's Caifeng?" he scolded, "Have you learned to be lazy?"

The servant said aggrievedly: "Master, Caifeng was also sent to Chu Garden by Miss Azhao."

Chu Zhao mobilized the servants in the family. Originally, the honorable maids around the master, wife, and young master would not listen to her, but A Le was so aggressive that he directly arrested him.

Ale is strong and flexible, and she can find her wherever she hides, and when she finds it, she grabs it and brings her into Chu Garden.

And the master and wife dare not go to Chu Garden to ask for someone.

In this way, more and more people were arrested, and there were not many servants in front of the master and wife.

The most beloved maid was also taken away, and Chu Lan didn't immediately get up and rush into Chu Garden to get her back, but just beat the table bitterly: "This family is the master, who has the final say."

The boy lowered his head and thought, the master talked a lot, but it doesn't count for Miss Azhao.

"When is this going to happen?" Chu Lanjiu pulled her shoes out and stood on the porch looking out. Through the high wall, she could hear the commotion in Chu Garden.

Fortunately, Chu Garden has another entrance.

Chu Lan had specially sealed this door before, allowing visitors to pass through from the house, so that it would appear that the Chu family was full of guests.

Now Chu Lan didn't want Chu Yuan to have anything to do with her at all, and asked people to open the sealed door and close the door of the Chu family.

Jiang brought a servant over with a sad face.
