Empress Chu

Just as Jiang was about to say that she had eaten, Chu Tang acted like a baby: "I haven't eaten with my mother for a long time, and my mother will accompany me after eating."

How can a mother ignore her daughter's acting like a baby, Jiang immediately smiled and said hello.

The maids and maids hurriedly removed the account books and put out more porridge, and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other to eat.

"Mother, I got this from her." Chu Tang whispered, winking at Jiang Shi.

Mrs. Jiang understood what she was saying, and she looked joyful: "My son, you are so amazing."

"It was hard for me to coax her." Chu Tang pretended to be struggling, "Now she is a horse without a bridle, and we will not have a good life if she goes crazy."

Jiang nodded again and again: "I know, I know." She fed Chu Tang with a mouthful of vegetables, her eyes filled with distress, "Coaxing her really made my son feel wronged."

Chu Tang ate it in one gulp.

"By the way, mother, what do you want to order?" she asked.

Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Recently, the wives of various families have handed over posts saying that they want to come and see this Xiaowangchun Garden Literature Fair.

Seeing Chu Tang frown at this point, Jiang quickly changed her words in distress: "Of course, if it doesn't work, we can discuss it again. I can't embarrass you, provoke her to make a fuss, and make my son feel wronged."

Chu Tang held the chopsticks and thought for a while: "How about this, the wives are here, and my mother is sitting at home with me, and then I will ask the maids in the garden to report the competition in real time, the chess played, the words written, Bring it in immediately for everyone to see."

That's it, Jiang Shi hesitated.

"Girls are like her now. They are extremely arrogant and arrogant during the competition. You know that Qi Leyun? Hey, you cry when you lose, and almost fight with each other—" Chu Tang said in a low voice, "The scene is really not good. , Madam and elders have gone, it’s one thing for girls to be cautious, it’s one thing not to continue the competition, but it’s another thing to offend those ladies and blame our Chu family for conniving.”

If the competition fails, those thick account books will no longer exist, which will annoy the wives, and she will be hated as the head of the family. , as you said."

Chu Tang smiled sweetly: "I am also very happy to be able to share my mother's worries and solve the family's problems."

Jiang stretched out her hand to caress her head, and sighed softly: "When something happens, my son will grow up too."

Seeing this, Chu Zhao, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, withdrew his gaze and turned around.

Chu Tang talked to her about Chu Yuan’s expenses and income every day, and I came to see this scene this morning

"Miss Ah Zhao." The maid who was stopped from outside the door asked anxiously, "Madam came here suddenly."

Chu Zhao smiled at her: "It's only natural for mother and daughter to talk, so I won't bother you. I'll talk about it after A-Tang finishes her work." After saying that, he walked away.

A Le hurriedly followed, and the two walked slowly.

"It's because there are too many people here, and I feel that it's all right, and the eldest lady has come to take charge of the house again." Ale snorted and said.

Chu Zhao hummed: "It's okay, don't worry, Atang will take care of it."

Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Ah Le wasn't worried, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be angry, right?She asked carefully, "Miss, are you angry?"

Chu Zhao said ah, came back to his senses, saw A Le worried, and smiled: "No." After a moment of silence, he looked back at Chu Tang's courtyard, "Is this how you are with your mother?"

A Le was stunned, and looked back, it turned out that Miss was because of this——

"I don't know, I don't have a mother either." A Le said, "The eldest lady treats Miss A Tang differently than she treats other people."

Chu Zhao hummed: "This is the mother, who loves her children infinitely, no matter how you look at it."

The two girls stood on the road, staring at the courtyard over there, as if they could still see and hear the mother and daughter talking and laughing intimately, and felt the overflowing doting on their daughter Jiang's speech and behavior.

A Le held Chu Zhao's hand: "Miss, don't be sad."

Chu Zhao felt the little girl's worry: "I'm not sad, really, I was thinking—" She shook Ale's hand, "My mother treated me like this."

Ale blinked, a little confused, the lady said that if her mother was there, she would treat her like this.

"Yes." Ale nodded. "It is certain that my mother will still hurt me if I am still there, even if I go to steal things, she will not beat me."

Chu Zhao sneered, and reached out to touch Ale's forehead: "It's so kind of your mother to name you this. If you are happy, you will also bring happiness to others."

Ale laughed.

Chu Zhao pulled her forward and strode forward without looking back. She was a little sad, but not that kind of sad, because she also had a mother, and her mother did a lot for her in the previous life——

Maybe it cost his life too.

What makes her sad is that their mother and daughter haven't met each other, and they don't know each other's death.

In this life, she will never let her have such regrets again. If she wants to see her mother, no matter what is the reason for the husband and wife not seeing each other, mother and daughter parting, she must ask clearly.

As soon as the two of them returned to the courtyard, Linglong, Chu Tang's maid, rushed over with the account book in hand.

"Our lady knows that Ms. Azhao is here, so you don't have to worry about Madam's affairs, she will stop you." Linglong said, and then handed over the account book, "This is yesterday's bill, it has been sorted out, Ms. Azhao has a look. "

Chu Zhao smiled and pushed the account book back: "I don't need to read these, I don't care about it, I just need to do my own thing with peace of mind, and I will help my cousin for other things."

Linglong didn't stop being polite, and saluted: "Miss Azhao, please rest assured."

After sending Linglong away, Chu Zhao was just about to study the chess record that Qi Leyun had lost, when a little maid called Ale from outside, Ale hurried out, and came in after a while.

"Miss, the prince of Zhongshan has come to the door." She whispered.

Chu Zhao paused holding the hand of the chess record.

Chapter 50 Doorstep

Ale did not forget Chu Zhao's order, staring at the door, watching who was in contact with the Chu family.

After Chu Yuan started the competition, she was very busy, but asked a few little girls to watch for her.

"In the past few days, there have been a lot of people coming to visit, mainly the female relatives from the madam's side. There are not many customers from the master's side. The two who came suddenly today are said to be Xiao."

"The little girl didn't take it seriously at all. There are many people surnamed Xiao, but they are very alert. In addition to staring at the door, they also stared at the stable. Over there, they heard the person on the door tell the servants of the stable to take good care of them." Chariots and horses, this is the prince of Zhongshan—"

A Le looked at Chu Zhao nervously: "Miss, he must be the one you have been wary of."

Ah Le couldn't be more clear about Chu Zhao's attitude towards Xiao Xun along the way, and when he came back, he stared at the old man because he was afraid of interacting with Xiao Xun.

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes."

During this period of busy competition, Xiao Xun had been forgotten. Counting the time, it was probably around this time.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xun could still come to the door with her attitude already like that along the way.

Also concealed identity.

She didn't know whether Xiao Xun had concealed his identity in the previous life, nor did she know that when Chu Yuan met, the life-saving grace was arranged.

This is not something that Xiao Xun can do alone, so Chu Tang said in that life, "If it weren't for them, how could she have become the queen."

The family's calculations are really hard to guard against.

Chu Zhao shook A Le's hand and said, "Fortunately, A Le is here."

Ale sighed: "Miss, don't always praise me. It's nothing to know that he's here. When I find out what he's doing, you can praise me again."

Chu Zhao smiled. In fact, she knew this without inquiring. He came here to plot against her. What will Xiao Xun do this time?Is it still the old way?

……

……

When the guest surnamed Xiao came to visit, Chu Lan was half lying in the study, chatting with some friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Mostly complaints.

"What can I do?" He sighed, "This child hasn't been with us since she was a child, and she was spoiled by her father to the point of lawlessness."

Several friends nodded in sympathy, "So what can you do? You can't be beaten or scolded." "You can't send people back. It's just this brother. Who cares?"

Chu Lan sighed: "I've made up my mind, I'll pack up my things now, and the whole family will go to Qiaoshan Academy. This capital city won't be able to gain a foothold."

The friends hurriedly persuaded, "It's just children playing around." "Who doesn't have naughty children, you just discipline them ruthlessly." "It won't affect the family."

and--

"Nowadays the Chuyuan Literary Society is well-known, brother, you should worry too much." A friend said, "I heard that Mrs. Zhou, who would not go out except to play chess with the emperor, praised him personally."

"Yes, yes." Others also nodded one after another, listing the names of more aristocratic families, "Everyone let the children continue to come and play, so it's not a big deal."

Otherwise they wouldn't be here.

Chu Lan was a little proud of being praised by those aristocrats, so she came out to meet the guests.

"My children are all really talented." He continued shaking his head and sighing, "I don't care about my family, it's only embarrassing."

The friends smiled and praised again, "Brother is self-effacing, you are so knowledgeable, what are you afraid of." Brilliant."

Everyone was talking and laughing happily, but the housekeeper ran in and said, "There is a guest surnamed Xiao visiting."

Chu Lan couldn't think of any familiar friends with the surname Xiao, and the others smiled and complimented, "Brother can't hide from leisure, he has a lot of visits."

Chu Lan smiled and said please, the housekeeper looked a little complicated, and glanced at the people who were still sitting in the room.

"Why?" A guest asked with a smile, "Can't we be company?"

Chu Lan was also displeased: "We are all friends, there is no one who sees this or sees this."

The butler can only say: "My lord, your surname is Xiao."

"What's wrong with the surname Xiao?" Chu Lan said.

The butler stomped his feet: "My surname is Xiao, it belongs to the royal family—"

Like a lightning strike, everyone in the room stood up instantly, the royal family?Xiao——

"It's amazing." A guest shouted, "The third prince is here to ask his crime."

Chu Lan's face turned pale, and she was on the verge of falling. Fortunately, the butler called out in time: "No, it's the son of King Zhongshan!"

Chu Lan supported the table to stand firm, and the other guests also returned to their seats, all surnamed Xiao, the third prince and the son of Zhongshan Wang Shizi are the difference between heaven and earth.

"Why is Xiao Shizi here?" Chu Lan asked.

Seeing that the master was a little confused with fright, the housekeeper hurriedly reminded: "The son and the master met before, isn't the master going to visit the son all the time?"

Chu Lan finally came to her senses: "This, this, alas, it's my fault that the prince came to the door in person."

Other guests asked curiously, "It turns out that the eldest brother actually met the prince of Zhongshan." "Is the prince of Zhongshan also asking the elder brother for advice?"

Chu Lan waved her hand, "Don't mention the past." Busily adjusted her clothes, "Hurry up and greet her."

Chu Lan walked out quickly, followed by other guests, and sure enough, she saw a young man in fine clothes with entourage standing outside the small courtyard. The young man was like a bright moon, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Is this the prince of Zhongshan?

"Your Majesty." Chu Lan saluted, "It's a long way to welcome you here."

Xiao Xun nodded: "Mr. Chu, there is no need to be polite." He looked behind Chu Lan.

Seeing him looking over, Chu Lan's guests hurriedly saluted.

Chu Lan introduced: "I was talking about poetry with my friends, making the prince laugh."

Xiao Xun said with a smile: "I'm the one who disturbed your elegant mood."

Chu Lan and everyone hurriedly said yes and no, "It is my honor to have the son come."

Chu Lan stretched out her hand to invite, and the others crowded around excitedly, but Xiao Xun didn't take a step, and said, "I'm here this time for the Third Prince—"

Before he finished speaking, the joyful people in front of him suddenly took a step back in shock.

So, still, sure enough!

Chu Lan's face turned green and pale, "This, this." He couldn't say anything, and sighed, he lifted his sleeves to cover his face, "Chu is ashamed."

The other guests looked at each other, and went forward together, "Brother Chu, then I will take my leave first." Then he explained to Xiao Xun, "My lord, I am also waiting to see what's going on." In response, he hastily bypassed the two and left.

In the small courtyard, only Chu Lan was left to face Xiao Xun, and he couldn't see anyone even if he covered his face.

"My son." Chu Lan said in a low voice, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, and I can't do anything about it."

Speaking of this, I was afraid that Xiao Xun would not believe it, so I pointed to the sky.

"If I could manage it, there wouldn't be what happened to her father back then. The father and daughter are arrogant and indulgent. I really can't help it."

Xiao Xun looked at the middle-aged scholar's face which turned red and then pale, and his eyes were full of anxiety. He couldn't help but think of the way the girl looked at him, which was as fierce as a small animal.

A family with completely different temperaments.

He smiled: "Mr. Chu, don't be afraid, I'm not here to inquire about crimes."
