Chapter 216: A Strong Enemy Approaching the Door
"Ouch!" Xu was frightened by the sudden sound, patted his chest and stood up, and said angrily, "The prince suddenly said, afraid that he would scare me out of the way?"
"Madam, don't blame me. It's really what Sister Lan said. When I heard it at the door, I couldn't help but praise it." Chu Hua entered the door with a smile and put the big cloak of the gray squirrel on the ground-falling diamond flower screen.
"Where are those two gangsters?" Xu poured tea for Chu Hua.
Chu Hua smiled and took the blue and white bowl of carp playing with lotus with both hands, sat down at the first place, and said with a smile: "Everyone is back." He looked at Chu Junlan with curved eyebrows and eyes, "How did Sister Lan just think of it?"
Chu Junlan smiled: "Concubine Shu is the birth mother of the Sixth Prince. The phoenix position in the harem has been suspended for many years. Concubine Shu holds the phoenix seal on behalf of the Cai family. Maybe the Cai family will have another second queen in the future. Since their family can assist the emperor and the two wise rulers of the current emperor, they will definitely want to assist the third one. It is obvious who is the target of assisting.
"The emperor is the wise ruler of the world, and he is very clear about these relationships. He married Cai Yingqiu to Gongding Wang as a flat wife, which is giving everyone a signal that Gongding Wang has become the person most trusted by the emperor because the emperor allows Gongding Wang to openly contact the people of the Cai family.
"Who is the Cai family? It is the emperor's grandfather's family, the mother of Concubine Shu, and the family of a giant mercenary who paved the way for the emperor to do his throne. Who dares to approach the Cai family for no reason? Are you not afraid that the emperor is worried about the foreign relatives forming cliques for personal gain? Now, with this opportunity, it can be said that the emperor personally pulled the Gongding King onto the Sixth Prince's ship."
Xu nodded frequently when he heard this, and suddenly a light of inspiration appeared and asked Chu Hua in a low voice: "Criminal, is the emperor planning to make the sixth prince the crown prince? The sixth prince is neither the legitimate nor the eldest son. There is also the second prince and the fourth prince, and the fifth prince is here!"
Chu Hua smiled: "This is the subtlety."
He looked at Chu Junlan with a smile: "You are a transparent child. For your father, you would not have thought that you would be so sharp in court affairs and have such a broad vision. You did not confine your vision to the back house. This is great. In this way, you can be more at ease when you go to the royal palace to live in the royal palace."
"Don't worry, father," Chu Junlan smiled, "When the water is clear, there is no fish, and there is still a daughter who can protect herself."
But even though that was said, Chu Junlan still couldn't help but feel funny.
Her and Xiao Xu's marriage was really wasted. We were delayed again and again. Now that the marriage of a son has not been completed, the father must first get married.
I am so kind to the king, marry another woman of the same age as his daughter.
Tsk, this world.
***
In the palace of Gongding, Princess Zhang and the eighteen beautiful ladies, they saw Gongding accepting the order happily, and couldn't help but "cry with joy".
"Congratulations to the prince and congratulations to the prince." Princess Zhang said happily, "Being able to receive such grace from the emperor shows how much the emperor values you."
"Yes, Father."
"Congratulations to Father."
Xiao Yunpeng, Xiao Yunfei, Xiao Yunguang, and Xiao Yuncheng all congratulated each other in a verbal way.
King Gong Ding nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on Xiao Xu, who was wearing a silver fox fur: "Xu'er, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Xu at the same time.
Who would have thought that a fool would gradually recover in just half a year, and now he has reached the point where he can answer the King of Condor.
Xiao Xu lowered his head and said respectfully: "This compensation is of profound significance."
With one sentence, the King of Congratulations laughed: "Okay, okay. Xu'er has a clear mind and reacts very quickly. Come on, come with your father, let's have a good chat." Then he went to the study room of the outer courtyard.
Xiao Xu said that, he bowed to Princess Zhang, and nodded to the other brothers, and then followed King Gongding and walked away calmly.
"What does it mean? What compensation?" Xiao Yuncheng, who was just thirteen, was completely unaware of the meaning.
Xiao Yunpeng said irritably: "You stupid thing, what else can you understand?"
Xiao Yuncheng felt aggrieved: "Don't the second brother understand, why did you say to me again?"
"Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Xiao Yunpeng was furious.
Princess Zhang was upset and scolded in a deep voice: "Okay! Shut up! If you have time to clamor here, it's better to read more!"
She wanted to scold her son for being even a fool, but in the end she endured it and said, "The emperor told Princess Cai to come to the mansion a few years ago. With the Cai family's family, this show cannot be careless. Let's prepare with this princess these days."
"Yes." All the beauties said yes.
Back at the main room, Princess Zhang sat on the warm kang with green brocade bedding, holding a soft big pillow of the same color, without moving for a long time.
Life is getting harder and harder.
Seeing that her son's body had not yet healed, Xiao Xu's fool improved day by day. The prince's attention was getting less and less, but he could talk to Xiao Xu in the study for two hours, and her heart was as irritable as if she had grass growing in her heart.
This was already difficult enough, but the emperor expected that the emperor would give him a noble family wife.
If an ordinary daughter comes, she doesn't care. When she reaches her acre of three-point land, she will rub it as much as she wants.
But behind Cai’s family is Concubine Shu, who is Chengyun’s Mansion!
With the financial resources of Chengyun Bo Mansion, the current status of Concubine Shu and Mrs. Hanmei, and the Cai family is said to be only fifteen years old, just as old as a flower bud. She is already old and yellow, and she is enough to be Cai's mother...
How do you live this life?
Princess Zhang hugged the silhouette and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Since the emperor's decree was issued, no one could shirk responsibility and delay. Just like Chu Junlan wanted to be the lady of the Duke of Mao's Mansion, Cai Yingqiu also rushed into the door of the Gongding Palace on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and then he was busy preparing for the New Year.
"So what does Princess Cai look like?"
Late at night on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu sat cross-legged on the warm kang by the window. The lights were not lit in the room. The two could only see each other's hazy outlines and the faint light in each other's eyes in the dark.
"It's a woman, young."
Xiao Xu was concise and laughed Chu Junlan in a simplicity.
"Of course I know that he was a young woman. I'm asking you what she looked like. The legendary Concubine Shu is so beautiful and has a beautiful harem. Their Cai family has a lot of money, and they must be the ones who choose to marry and recruit parents. I think they can't have ugly children, right?"
Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan, but didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly felt a fever on his face. He lowered his head and said for a while: "I didn't see it, I'll tell you after I'll see it."
Chu Junlan covered her mouth for fear that she would laugh out loud, so she was so happy that her stomach hurt.
Seeing her smile twitchingly, Xiao Xu didn't know how soft she looked: "I went to see my elder brother today and sent you what you brought to me."
