Chapter 335

Chu Ze's expression changed slightly after hearing the regent's words. However, the Secretary of Chu had already sued him, "The courtesy should not be abolished. It is because the minister is eager to think of his daughter and he almost broke the rules. It is the duty of his ministers to share worries for the emperor and he dare not ask for anything. If the emperor is injured, the emperor and his son will not disturb the emperor's rest. I will leave."

Chu Ze was unwilling to accept his father and had to take his leave. After Xiao Yuanzhao agreed, the Chu father and son left the palace directly.

After leaving the palace, Chu Ze lowered his voice and said unhappily: "I won't come early and don't come late. It's just that when we are about to meet my sister, it's really..."

"Stop your mouth." Chu Shangshu's expression was slightly dark, and he sighed, "Being a father is the Minister of Rites. If there is any delay today, the Regent will punish him on the grounds that he knows the etiquette but does not obey the etiquette. Now the situation is unclear, so you must not make any mistakes. If something happens to us and your sister has nothing to rely on in the palace, how can you live?"

Chu Ze was so angry that he said, "A little impatience will cause trouble. Dad, I am impatient."

Shangshu Chu didn't say anything, but cursed the Regent eight hundred times in his heart. The Regent was waiting to catch his braids. He wanted to protect himself, but he could not lose his official position, otherwise how could he protect his family? Today, he could only admit that he was unlucky and missed the opportunity to see his daughter. I just hope that the emperor could recite one or two favors and let his daughter live a better life in the palace.

Chu Xiang didn't know that she had the opportunity to reunite her family. After she said something to Mrs. Chu for a long time, she asked someone to take a lot of things to send Mrs. Chu back home.

Qingzhu sent the person out, and when she came back, she was happy to report the letter to Chu Xiang, "Empress, I just heard that the emperor ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare vegetarian food for the four concubines, just like the specifications of a royal temple. She also ordered no one to disturb them copying scriptures, saying that they wanted to worship the scriptures they copied to the royal temple!

The Emperor must have known that they were bothering the Empress, and was venting his anger for the Empress. After this time, the Emperor was very different to the Empress!”

There was no one else in the room, so Chu Xiang said casually: "He might be unhappy with the Four Concubines. Besides, the emperor asked them to concentrate on copying scriptures and praying for blessings, not punishing them. Don't say this anymore. If others hear it, how can I protect you?"

Qingzhu quickly responded, "It's my servant who has no restraint, and there will be no next time."

Chu Xiang followed the situation and told her his arrangement, "You have been with me since childhood and grew up with me. Your relationship with me is extraordinary. If there is no accident, you will marry me, and be the manager of my side after getting married, and be with me for the rest of your life. But no one expected that I would enter the palace to be a concubine..."

"Empress!" Qingzhu knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes were red, "Empress, I dare not talk nonsense anymore, and I will definitely not cause trouble for Empress. I beg you not to drive me away."

Chu Xiang helped her up with one hand and frowned slightly, "What's this for? How can I blame you? I'm not afraid of you causing trouble for me, I'm afraid of you causing trouble for yourself. In this palace, I don't know how to intrigue and not be cruel and ruthless, how can I live a stable life? How can I let you be in danger for many years of friendship?"

Qingzhu stood up with her strength, feeling anxious.

Chu Xiang patted her hand comfortably and said with a smile: "You are too kind-hearted and outspoken, and you are not suitable for the palace. So I arranged another errand for you. You and Hongrui left the palace together and helped me manage two industries. If you make money in the future, you will hand it over to my mother, and she will send it to me. This is a very important errand. I will give it to you. I trust you, and I don't send you away, do you understand?"

Of course, Qingzhu understood that the master's confidant must be his master's confidant, otherwise he would have many things to do, such as greed and deceitfulness. The master valued them. But she didn't expect that even Hongrui would go with her, and the master was the only two trustworthy palace maids around her!

She said anxiously: "Hongrui is smarter than me. Why wouldn't she stay in the palace to take care of the empress? I go out to do things for the empress. I am dull, but I will definitely learn it carefully for the empress. If there is no one around me who can be used, what will happen in the future?"

Chu Xiang looked at her and smiled gently, "I know you are worried about me, don't worry, I have asked my mother to choose reliable people to send to the palace, and there will be no one available. I am not at ease to let others take care of my property. I am afraid that my mother will worry about these things, and I am afraid that she will be too tired. Besides, my brother has already been engaged and has a eldest sister-in-law at home in the future, and it is easy to have conflicts in the amount of money given to me at home, so I might as well arrange it myself.

I know you have never done these things, so don’t be afraid. My mother has taught me, and I will teach you these days. After you leave the palace, you will buy a few people who need to be used to help you as I told you, and it will be smooth."

Perhaps Chu Xiang's smile and words were filled with the power to soothe people's hearts, Qingzhu's uneasiness gradually dissipated, and replaced by firmness, and vowed to manage the industry for her master.

Chu Xiang still had injuries on her body, and Qingzhu didn't dare to say much to Chu Xiang, and advised her to go to bed and rest. Chu Xiang wanted to practice, so she asked her to find Hongrui, hid in the bed curtain and concentrate on practicing, so that the Qiankun Mirror could be guarded in Taihe Palace. In this way, as long as there was anything wrong with Taihe Palace, she would know immediately.

As Qingzhu said, Hongrui is smarter than her. So Chu Xiang has something to do in recent days, so she has told Qingzhu to avoid letting Hongrui discover her difference from the original owner. She just happened to be recuperating and she didn't get along with them in daily life. When her injury is cured, almost all the people around her will be replaced.

During dinner, Qiankun Mirror reported that the emperor was coming. Chu Xiang opened his eyes and saw from Qiankun Mirror that Xiao Yuanzhao's face was calm and seemed to be in a bad mood. This was a bit strange. It was logical that the emperor had the time to care about the affairs of the harem, so he should be in a good mood and was just free. Why did Xiao Yuanzhao look unhappy?

Xiao Yuanzhao knew that Chu Xiang was asleep, so he asked someone not to report it. He asked Qingzhu to ask the imperial physician for the diagnosis and walked into the inner room lightly, wanting to see Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang had just returned to the palace. The more he was concerned, the more he could make Chu Xiang pay attention to Chu Xiang. This was what he had to do.

Chu Xiang was not interested in pretending to be asleep, so he asked when he first entered the dormitory: "Qingzhu? Help me get up."

Xiao Yuanzhao strode forward after hearing this, lifted the curtain of the bed, "Are you awake?"

Chu Xiang pretended to know what he was coming, and quickly sat up and showed a flattered smile, "Master, why are you here? Your injury is better? Does it still hurt?"

Xiao Yuanzhao paused, thinking that she didn't know she didn't care about him, so she really thought she liked him so much now. He smiled and sat down beside the bed and held Chu Xiang's hand, "I'm fine. As soon as my beloved concubine returns to the palace, I want to see you. But government affairs are busy, so I have time. I heard that you have announced the Imperial Doctor? But Concubine Xi and the others are clamoring for you?"

Chu Xiang blinked, [Where did you ask this? Shouldn’t she be asked if she was causing discomfort all the way?]

Xiao Yuanzhao looked at her on purpose, wanting to know what she thought of the Four Concubines in her heart.

Chu Xiang smiled naturally and said, "Several sisters care about me, so how could they disturb me? I was very moved to see that they were really concerned about me, so I thought to let them pray for the emperor. With the intentions of my sisters, the emperor will recover as soon as possible."

[Thanks to the Emperor's fire, the four restless women may be pissed to death. The Emperor is still very cute.]

Xiao Yuanzhao's face looked strange for a moment. He was a dignified emperor, so who would say he was "cute"?

He looked at Chu Xiang's gentle and touching expression, and then listened to her attitude towards those women, and suddenly felt coke. It turned out that his harem was still hidden. He was mistaken and had never noticed his imperial concubine.

Xiao Yuanzhao followed her and praised the Four Concubines for a few words, then asked Qingzhu to serve her to change her clothes.

Thinking of something, he stood beside the bed and did not leave. He reached out to touch Chu Xiang's long hair and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to bring Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze to Taihe Palace to let your family have a reunion dinner and let them talk to you well. Unfortunately, the Regent happened to meet him and said that this was not in accordance with the rules and would not allow them to come to see you. Otherwise, you would have met your father and brother at this time."

Chu Xiang was stunned and subconsciously thought: [Why does the Regent always cause trouble for the Chu family? It will definitely be unfavorable to the Regent when she saved the emperor. It seems that she should warn her family to be more careful and not get involved in the battle between the Regent and the Emperor.]

Xiao Yuanzhao thought that mentioning his family would make Chu Xiang feel a little sad or missed, but Chu Xiang thought of letting his family protect himself. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and it turns out that they were all a family and had such similar ideas.

But as a minister, if you don’t assist the emperor, what’s the reason for Mingzhe to protect yourself? Are they afraid of things or are they not optimistic about him?

Xiao Yuanzhao's mood, which had just relaxed a little, calmed down again, withdrew his hand and turned around and wanted to leave, "Since my beloved concubine is fine..."

It happened that the palace servant came to report and told Liang Zhong that the meal he had ordered had been delivered.

That was the meal where Xiao Yuanzhao wanted to have a meal with the four members of the Chu family. He turned his mind when he heard this, "Let's have a meal with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Xiang had already put on his shirt and stood up to salute.

Xiao Yuanzhao helped her and happened to hear her say in her heart: [I am hungry, how can the emperor eat here?]

Xiao Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was despised again? Others were eager to have a meal with him, so it became a problem when Chu Xiang came.

After a moment of thinking, he understood that if he had many rules for eating with him, he would not move, others would not move, he would not speak, and others would not speak, and he would have to carry his words and deeds. How could he eat in the house with great pleasure?

God knows that he really just wanted to show his importance to Chu Xiang and stayed for the meal. However, Chu Xiang despised him, so he insisted on staying.

Xiao Yuanzhao felt the dislike of others so bluntly for the first time when he was so old, but instead became a little interested. He deliberately waited for Chu Xiangwan to get up and walked out with her hand.

"My beloved concubine walks slowly, be careful to pull the wound." Xiao Yuanzhao said in a whim, lowered his head and said in her ear, "Why don't I carry you over?"

Chu Xiang looked at him speechlessly, lowered his head shyly and said, "I dare not bother the emperor. I am much better, it doesn't hurt."

【He looks pretty and has a good figure, but there are so many women, so forget it.】

Xiao Yuanzhao almost choked by saliva. What kind of personality does this woman have? How can she judge him in her heart? Although she was praising him, she was good-looking and had a good figure. Is this a good thing?

What else does it mean to have so many women? Could it be that she wouldn't get close to him because he had other concubines? Wouldn't she plan to sleep in the future?
