After wearing a book, I became a traitorous concubine

In the sixth year of Emperor Yan, the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

A fire broke out in one of the palaces of the Ling Kingdom, and it burned for a whole night before it was extinguished. A guard in the palace secretly spread the news, saying that Linghuang was furious and set fire to the Chenxi Palace with his own hands. He ordered the prisoners in the prison to be executed immediately. Hundreds of people, no one was spared.

No one knew that there was also a servant surnamed Chu who disappeared with Chenxi Palace.

Shichen sighed and said: "When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses."Fortunately, although Emperor Yan was tyrannical, his reason was still there, and no harm was done to the innocent, which is a blessing.

But obviously, Shi Chen's conclusion is still too early.

In the following year, Emperor Yan's temperament became more and more violent, and the court ladies and eunuchs would lose their lives immediately if they behaved improperly.

Not only that, no less than dozens of concubines in the harem died in the hands of Emperor Yan.

Since then, the few concubines in the harem became more cautious in their words and deeds. When they encountered Emperor Yan, they would be killed by an evil ghost. Afterwards, no courtier dared to send his own daughter to the palace.

It is not that there are no courtiers in the court who say that he is a tyrant who is tyrannical and cruel to life.

The only thing to be thankful for is that even though Emperor Yan was tyrannical, the word "no way" has nothing to do with it.

Even though Emperor Ling was murderous and tyrannical, he was diligent and conscientious in government affairs. In short, Emperor Yan was normal in everything except that he liked to kill people.

But this tyranny alone was enough to cause dissatisfaction among the people. It didn't take long for people in Lingguo to rebel, but none of them succeeded, and they were all suppressed.

A year later, Qingliu Villa in Lingcheng.

"Mingyue, did you let the parrot that Eldest Young Master raised go away?" It was a middle-aged fat housekeeper who was speaking, and at the moment he was spitting and scolding a young maidservant.

The little servant girl was wearing a blue dress. She looked pretty and was very pleasing, but at this moment her eyes were red and her nose was red. She was scared and cried by the fat butler, "I, I didn't mean it, I just saw it was very beautiful , I stretched out my hand to touch it, but it flew away with the window open..."

"What's the use of crying with me!" The fat butler was also very angry, and kept pacing back and forth, "That parrot is the young master's favorite pet, and you let it go, let me tell you what's good about you !"

The little maid obviously knew that she had caused a catastrophe this time, but she didn't know how to make up for it, so she could only keep crying, and her eyes swelled up after crying.

The fat butler was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and he lost his temper after being cried by her, "Forget it, go down, I will personally apologize to the young master, maybe the young master is kind enough to let you go this time. "

There is a bamboo building at the northernmost side of Qingliu Villa, which is the tallest building in the entire villa.

The top floor of the bamboo building is elegantly decorated, and the tea is fragrant.

The so-called bamboo building does not just mean that the entire bamboo building is made of bamboo, but more importantly, all the tables and chairs inside the bamboo building are also made of bamboo products.

The footsteps at the door were too obvious, and the people in the building knew that someone was coming before they arrived.

When the fat butler walked to the door, the first thing he saw was an ordinary-looking guard standing outside the door, but the fat butler didn't dare to offend this guard, so he put on a smile on his face and said respectfully: "Brother Chuyi, the young master Can it be inside?"

Chu saw that the fat butler was pleasing to the eye, so he nodded and said, "Master is taking a nap."

"The young master is taking a nap?" The fat butler had a troubled face, and just as he was thinking about whether to take the risk to ask for an interview, the people in the room spoke out.

"Is it Manager Jin?"

The fat housekeeper's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he hurriedly replied: "Young master, it's Jin Fu asking to see you."

"come in."

Butler Jin Fu smiled at Chu Yi and walked in slowly.

The bamboo chair next to the bed was the first thing that caught the eye, butler Jin moved his gaze upwards, and saw a delicate and handsome face.

Even if it wasn't the first time we met, Butler Jin still couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

The handsome young man was lazily lying on the swaying bamboo chair, wearing a thick brocade cloak, apparently just woke up, and was looking at him with half-closed eyes.

"Butler Jin, what do you want me to do?"

Jin Fu hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Master, your parrot was let go by that girl Mingyue carelessly, look at this..."

Chu Ran was not too angry when he heard the words, but instead smiled and asked Jin Fu: "So the housekeeper Jin is here to intercede with Mingyue?"

The Jin steward was pointed out by Chu Ran, and his face was a little unnatural, "Young master, the servant just saw that the girl Mingyue is still young, and she really can't bear the pain of flesh and blood, so I have the courage to beg the young master to forgive her..." According to the rules of the villa, servants who make mistakes will be punished.

Chu Ran bent her lips, "Butler Jin is a good man."

Suddenly being praised, Jin Butler felt a little embarrassed, "The daughter of the servant's hometown is about the same age as her, so seeing her is like seeing her own daughter, you..."

"Don't worry, Butler Jin, the parrot is not lost." Chu Ran interrupted Butler Jin's words.

"Not lost?" Butler Jin was a little puzzled. The maids watched the parrot fly away with its wings fluttering. Could it be that the maids were talking nonsense?

Looking at Butler Jin's appearance, Chu Ran knew that he hadn't made it clear, so she patiently explained: "Dabai is a parrot that only recognizes home, even if it flies out, it's fine, it will fly back by itself after playing outside enough. .”

Jin Butler finally breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to Chu Ran contentedly, and left the bamboo building.

After Butler Jin left, Chu Yi walked in.

"Is Daddy back?"

Chu Yidao: "Master went to visit the mausoleum prefect's house, and he probably will be back in the evening."

Chu Qingfeng, Prime Minister of Chu, chose to resign and return to his hometown for Chu Ran a year ago, so the prime minister's mansion was emptied overnight, and hundreds of people moved back to Lingcheng, the hometown of the Chu family.

Fortunately, the Chu family has a lot of property in Lingcheng, and because of this, hundreds of people can quickly settle down in Lingcheng.

What Chu Ran did not expect was that Prime Minister Chu not only had outstanding abilities in government affairs, but was also a good hand in business.

In just one year, the previously sluggish business has been managed in an orderly manner, and the foundation of the Chu family in Lingcheng has been completely settled.

Coupled with the background of Chu's connections when he was an official, even if he resigned and returned to his hometown, none of the officials in Lingcheng would dare to offend him easily. The official career paved the way, so the Chu family's business in Lingcheng became more and more smooth.

Today's mausoleum prefect is one of them.

Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the prefect of Lingcheng would send someone to invite Prime Minister Chu to have a drink and be a guest. Sima Zhao's heart was obvious.

"Where's Ah Jing?"

Chu Jing is the second child of the Chu family, and also Chu Ran's younger brother. Unlike Chu Ran's weak writing, Chu Jing has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now he is only 17 years old and has made a name for himself in the martial arts world.

"Second young master..." Chu Yi hesitated when asked about Chu Jing.

Seeing Chu Yi's appearance, Chu Ran knew that Chu Jing must be out fooling around again, so she narrowed her eyes and said in a displeased tone, "Where did he go?"

Now, Chu Yi didn't dare to hide it.

"Second Young Master said that there will be a new oiran on stage in Weiyang Pavilion tonight, and he and some friends from Jianghu went to watch it."

The room fell silent, Chu Yi raised his eyes and saw Chu Ran's mouth curled up sinisterly, "Weiyang Pavilion? Huakui? I think his skin is itchy again!"
