Empress Chu

A Le raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Both the shop assistant and the customers took a step back immediately.

Chu Zhao walked slowly with a calm expression.

"Ale." She said, "Pay the money and come out to play because I was disappointed and I can't ask everyone to pay again."

Ah Le responded, and the shopkeeper watched from the side, and blurted out: "No rush, the lady can keep the account first—"

Only men can open accounts in Yaqu Pavilion, and women can only hang under the names of their husbands and fathers.

This is probably the first time Yaquge opened an account for a woman.

Chu Zhao didn't have the slightest panic, just nodded: "Thank you, all the expenses of the box today are on my account."

The shopkeeper finished his sentence even more quickly, and he followed up with Chu Zhao himself, and said in a low voice, "Miss Chu, when there is another literary meeting in Chu Garden, our Yaqu Pavilion can also provide refreshments."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Okay, I will write it down."

Accompanied by the shopkeeper and A Le, she passed the crowd and left, leaving behind a crowd of people to follow, with the woman inside the door screaming behind her.

"Chu Zhao—don't run away—you shameless bastard—you bitch—"

The shop assistants and customers couldn't help but look inside again, and saw the girl crying and screaming, hey, the comparison between the inside and the outside is really unbearable.

The maid of the Liang family quickly closed the door.

"Why close the door! Let everyone know how shameless Chu Zhao is." Liang Qin cried.

"Okay." Qi Leyun said, "Liang Qin, don't speak loudly if you have reasons, and speak up when you have something to say."

If you have something to say, how can you make a big deal out of it?She's here to play tricks!Liang Qin covered her face and cried: "Who doesn't talk well? She has nothing to say, and everyone ran away."

"Azhao didn't run away. He told me to go to Xie's house to ask." A girl said dissatisfied.

Where have all these people's hearts gone?Liang Qin didn't care about pretending to cry, put down his sleeves and said, "So what if I go to Xie's house to ask? She and Xie's family have colluded, how can they not decide?"

"Aqin, since you and the Xie family have made an agreement, why are you making such a fuss?" A girl said softly, "At the beginning, you were only discussing marriage with the Xie family, right? It’s not that you’ve been hired, so why can’t you be unwilling?”

The reasoning is the same, but it's not right. Liang Qin came back to his senses and recognized that it was the girl who had been making nonsense with her words just now!

She saw Chu Tang standing next to the girl at a glance.

"Chu Tang!" Liang Qin jumped up angrily, "You sisters are of the same mind, and you say it yourself, so why borrow someone else's words."

Being pointed out by Liang Qin, Chu Tang did not deny it, but hid back and said timidly, "It's because Chu Zhao and I are sisters. From my point of view, it seems that I am bullying you."

What kind of nonsense is this, it's your sisters who are bullying people!

This Chu Tang, who previously had a deep affection for her older sister, now treats her like this.

Chu Zhao ran away, and he couldn't let Chu Tang go.

Liang Qin rushed over: "You sisters are not good people!"

This time the girls all rushed over, "Ah Qin, you are really crazy." "Have you had enough trouble!" "Your Liang family is such a tutor!"

There was chaos in the box, and the servants and maids of the Liang family took Liang Qin away without any hesitation.

The girls looked at the mess and were both angry and annoyed.

"But, did Ah Zhao really go to Xie's house?" A girl leaned forward and looked out of the window, but Chu Zhao's carriage was no longer visible on the street.

Or did he actually take the opportunity to run away?

"Of course I'm going." Qi Leyun said decisively, "How can I not go with such a good opportunity? Maybe I can force a marriage with Mr. Xie."

The girls who were originally bored were amused by this sentence.

"Qi Leyun, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Why am I talking nonsense, Azhao was rumored to be ambiguous with the Xie family, and his innocence was dirty, the third son of Xie must not be held responsible."

"I'm dying of laughter, what's the matter with Mr. Xie, you can really talk nonsense."

"Qi Leyun, I think you can't wait to be rumored to be you, right?"

……

……

Chu Zhao really went directly to Xie's house, reported his name in front of the door, begged to see the third son Xie, and knocked on the door smoothly, and was led to the backyard by the servants non-stop.

But they didn't see Xie Yanfang directly, the servants said that the third young master had something to do, they would come back later and put her in the waterside pavilion, and the maidservants brought tea and snacks.

"Miss, do you want to listen to the piano?" A maid asked with a smile, "We can play for you."

Chu Zhao thanked: "No need." She looked at the pool water, there were many fish swimming in it, and the colorful colors were very attractive, "I'll just look at the fish."

The maid smiled and brought the fish food: "This is the special fish food for our third son, the fish like it the most."

Chu Zhao took it, and the maids withdrew, leaving her alone in the water pavilion.

Chu Zhao took the fish food and fed it to the fish. Sure enough, the fish soon gathered around and swayed in the water like blooming flowers.

……

……

When Xie Yanfang came over, she saw a scene of girls playing with fish in the water pavilion.

The girl is wearing an apricot-colored dress, her black hair is pulled up, and her slender neck is exposed. She is sitting on the bank of the water, with her feet hanging down and almost touching the water, swaying slightly, and the shadow of the dress is rippling in the water, attracting fish Follow the swim.

She smiled lightly, showing her fine white teeth.

Xie Yanfang has seen many scenes of women playing, unintentionally, and others intentionally let him see, but what he sees at this moment is different from the past.

The girl smiled slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were far away, as if she was alone in the world, wanton and lonely.

"Miss Chu." Xie Yanfang broke the scene with her mouth.

Chu Zhao turned to look at him and smiled, "Thank you, Third Young Master."

She lifted her feet from the water, turned slightly, and returned to the water pavilion.

Xie Yanfang walked in and said, "We didn't do this."

He knew Chu Zhao's reason for coming.

Chu Zhaodao: "I know it wasn't you." He smiled again, "I also know who did it."

Chapter 83 Sitting

Xie Yanfang sat down and poured tea for Chu Zhao.

"I heard the news, let someone check it out." He said, "The source is the post barracks, how many people have worked with Yan Lai—"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Zhao shook his head with a smile, "It wasn't them. Although they were there at the time, they couldn't be the ones who said it."

Xie Yanfang was curious: "I don't know what the scene was? I asked Yan Lai, but Yan Lai didn't say a word, just said Miss Chu, you deserve it."

He relayed the original words, he didn't see the girl's dissatisfaction, but laughed.

"I knew he would say that." Chu Zhao laughed.

Xie Yanfang smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip: "Then it seems that this is true."

Chu Zhao didn't hide it from Xie Yanfang, there was no need to hide this kind of thing, although he was a little surprised that Ah Jiu still didn't tell the Xie family at this time.

"It started when I left the capital to find a way to go to Bianjun."

Chu Zhao told Xie Yanfang how he disguised himself, how he designed it, and what happened along the way.

Xie Yanfang listened with gusto, laughing and asking questions as she narrated.

"I didn't know at that time that Ah Jiu was from your family and had a secret mission." Chu Zhao said, looking at Xie Yanfang and smiling, "He didn't reveal his identity at all until he saw him on the street. Only after being punished by the family did I know who he was."

Xie Yanfang looked at her, and said with a smile: "I wrote a letter to your father, and asked Yan Lai to send it over by the way. Although your father has been in the border county for so many years, I always think that General Chu is a person worth making friends with."

Chu Zhao showed a dazed expression, and shook his head again: "Then he should have told me more at that time, and then I took him to see my father, wouldn't it be better?"

Xie Yanfang laughed, but it's a pity that she didn't say yes: "I can't help it, Ms. Chu, your journey is disguised and designed, who dares to cause you this trouble."

Holding the teacup, Chu Zhao asked, "What if it was you, the third son?"

Xie Yanfang stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Of course I will immediately take Miss Chu and rush straight to General Chu in the border county. I am naturally not afraid of trouble."

Chu Zhao laughed and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Miss Chu doesn't believe it?" Xie Yanfang asked with a smile.

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes, of course, I believe that there is nothing in this world that the third son is afraid to do."

The girl spoke very seriously, her eyes were clear and clear.

Xie Yanfang smiled and did not continue this topic.

"So, because of my strange behavior at the time, and of course, Ah Jiu's own problems, the two of us were on guard against each other along the way, and finally reached the point where we killed each other." Chu Zhao continued, "The confrontation Then, I fell into the water, but another accident happened."

She looked at Xie Yanfang.

"I met Xiao Xun, the son of King Zhongshan."

Xie Yanfang understood immediately, but she didn't say anything, listening to Chu Zhao continue.

But here Chu Zhao can't talk about his entanglement with Xiao Xun in that life.

"The Prince of Zhongshan was entrusted by Deng Yi to intercept me. In order to avoid being recognized, I acted accordingly and pretended to argue with Ah Jiu in front of the Prince of Zhongshan." Chu Zhao said with a smile, "So Said the sentence that is now circulating outside."

Xie Yanfang laughed and clapped her hands: "Miss Chu has become better by chance."

Chu Zhao laughed at himself: "What's the matter, I was brought back in the end. It was useless to adapt to the situation. Instead, I fell into trouble."

Xie Yanfang helped her sleeves to cook tea on the small clay stove, and said, "The prince of Zhongshan came here for our Xie family, and made Miss Chu suffer."

It wasn't the post soldiers who said it, and Xie Yanlai didn't say it either, so there was only another person present at that time, Xiao Xun, the son of King Zhongshan.

Xie Yanfang was a little surprised.

The king of Zhongshan has always kept a low profile, and the son of the prince has always been gentle, why did he suddenly do such a thing?Is this going to be an enemy of the prince?Unreasonable.

King Zhongshan is not a fool, even though he has been quieter than Chu Ling in the capital for so many years, but the Empress Dowager was maimed by the Empress Dowager herself, which shows the threat he posed to the emperor.

As for Prince Zhongshan's son, Xie Yanfang had naturally heard of his reputation, which was extremely subtle and in line with his status, neither conspicuous nor mediocre.

King Zhongshan is going to bet on the third prince, give it a go?

Xie Yanfang didn't think because Chu Zhao was entertaining her, but fell into meditation. Chu Zhao didn't care about his sudden silence, and poured tea for herself. She knew what Xie Yanfang was thinking about in this meditation, and she must think that Xiao Xun was targeting the Xie family and the prince. ——

She didn't intend to explain, that's why she came to Xie Yanfang immediately, just wanting this smart third son to keep an eye on Xiao Xun.

This is also true, Xiao Xun not only targeted the prince, but also robbed the prince's throne in the future, and even fought Xie Yanfang to the death.

Since Xiao Xun jumped out to plot against her, let Xiao Xun and Xie Yanfang fight to the death now.

……

……

When Xie Yan came over, she saw this scene.

Men and women sit opposite each other in the waterside pavilion, just like a painting, the young man in white clothes is concentrating on cooking tea, his movements are smooth and smooth, while the young girl is leaning against the fence, drinking from a teacup in one hand, and playing with fish and food in the other.

They are at ease.

"Ah Jiu?"

A Le, who was standing not far from the waterside pavilion, happened to turn around and saw it, shouted and stared.

"You came just in time-"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yanlai turned around and left.

"Hey!" Ah Le yelled, but Xie Yanlai turned a deaf ear and disappeared in a cluster of flowers and trees.

The flower tree that was bumped and swayed was grabbed by another hand, and it couldn't bear to shake anymore. The petals rained down and fell on the ground, Xie Yanlai's body and head.

"My lord." The two maidservants supported him distressedly, "What are you doing?"

The wound is still not healed yet. Hearing that Ms. Chu is here, she insisted on coming, but the maid begged again and again, "Master, you lie down, let's invite someone, even if we beg on our knees, we will invite someone here."

But Xie Yanlai just refused to listen.

"Kneeling her for what? I don't want her to come to see me, but I want to see her and watch her laugh." He sneered, got up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked from the residence step by step-what did you say? He also refuses to be lifted.

The maidservants looked at Xie Yanlai's back was stained red.
