126 Marry as a woman, attack all day long
When it comes to Mrs. Chu and Princess Yinghua, Mu Xilan is annoyed, but she can only say, "I don't want to judge who is right and who is wrong between me and the Chu family, but Chu Luo pulled me in first."
Chu Yunjin couldn't help clenching her hand, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in her eyes. "Do you know why I have been wandering out for so many years without returning to the capital? It's not because I like this, but because I'm tired of the ugliness of Chu.
It is said that Chu Yunjin made an appearance at the age of 14, which really makes many people regard him as immoral, but I guess others have never thought about this reason, and even Mu Xilan has just made it clear.
"When my sister-in-law married my eldest brother, I was only three or four years old. I was a naive and happy little girl and always liked to play with my sister-in-law. But it has changed a year later. The eldest brother began to take a concubine, and my sister-in-law began to be jealous and noisy. She even beat those delicate women in front of me, and even watched them choke in front of me. So far, Chu Yunjin's voice has trembled a little when he mentions it,
"I lost my mother since I was a child. In the face of such a tragic scene, I can only squat in the corner to be afraid and cry."
Mu Xilan didn't expect that Chu Yunjin would have such a dark childhood, and then she understood why she often came to the palace to bully herself. "Because you hate Princess Yinghua, you hate Zhaohua, right?"
"Yes, the princess of the royal family is an arrogant, ruthless woman in my eyes. So every time I enter the palace, I will deliberately argue with Zhaohua. Watching her cry, I feel comfortable. I don't know how jealous I am every time I see Zhaohua being held in the arms of the queen.
Chu Yunjin looked up and felt the warm sunshine shining into her heart. She burst into a warm smile again. "At that time, I was determined to leave the Chu family when I grew up. If I hadn't left in those years, maybe I would have married a woman like my sister-in-law all day long.
A woman is willing to say these old things, and Chu Yunjin is relieved about them.
Mu Xilian really understood the woman and held her hand, "Your smile is very warm."
With that, the two went to Kunning Palace and entered the main hall. The queen was surprised to see the two holding hands together.
Chu Yunjin hurriedly saluted, "Please don't blame Yunjin for being rude a few days ago."
Although the queen didn't know what had happened between them, she could clearly feel the slightly changing atmosphere between them, but she still waved her hand to make Chu Yunjin sit down and asked about what had just happened. "I have heard that you took a man to Qianqing Palace."
"Yunjin used to beg the emperor to remove the imperial edict. If Yunjin has someone he likes, he will naturally not marry Prince Jing'an." Chu Yunjin's expression is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Is the imperial edict withdrawn if you want it or not? This behavior is a little too much. If it spreads, who else will pay attention to the imperial edict in the future? Although the queen's tone was shocking, her face was still very gentle.
Chu Yunjin hurriedly nods, "This is all my sister-in-law's fault. Yunjin is here to plead guilty on behalf of his sister-in-law, and please don't blame Yunjin's sister-in-law in front of Miss Mu." Whether she hates Mrs. Chu, it can't break their relationship. Chu Yunjin is not an untied person.
When the queen heard the words, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Mu Xiran, "Your child is clever. Even Xiran has moved out for me. I can only forgive her this time in front of Xi Rian. If there is another time, I will not care about this family relationship. Anyway, when she heard that the decree had been withdrawn, the stone hanging in her heart still fell down.
"You must have put a lot of effort into getting the emperor to withdraw his will, right?"
"Yes, Yunjin donated 50% of all the money he has earned over the years to the treasury." Chu Yunjin answered truthfully.
When the queen calmed down and heard the deal, she was still shocked. "It's worthy of Mrs. Chu's daughter. She has some of her courage and dares to do it. Thanks to you, the Chu family avoided this difficulty, otherwise the first person to attack the Chu family was Prince Jing'an.
One of the reasons why the queen did not act was to believe in the methods of Prince Jing'an.
"The Empress praised it, but after Yunjin has a happy event, she will take her husband away. The affairs of the Chu family have nothing to do with Yun Jin." Chu Yunjin's eyes flashed with bright light, and then said, "You can also invite me to have a wedding wine."
"I don't use it, so let Xi Rang go to the wedding bar." The queen gently refused.
Chu Yunjin did not show any loss, but even more than just now, "If Miss Mu can go, Yunjin can't ask for it." With that, he stood up and said, "Yunjin won't disturb the Empress any more. Yuanting is still waiting outside the palace."
Needless to say, the queen also guessed that the 'far court' was the person Chu Yunjin liked, waved her hand and said, "Go."
When Chu Yunjin left, the queen smiled kindly and looked at Mu Xilan's happy face, "How about it? Don't worry now?"
Mu Xilan hurriedly bowed to the queen, "Xilan made the Empress worry."
The queen leaned against the brocade with a smile, "Time flies. In a blink of an eye, the prince will get married in three months. However, I still feel that time has passed a little slowly.
"I'm not in a hurry. What's the mother worried about?" The prince came quickly and sat directly next to the queen. "Mother, are you doing well recently? Can you let the royal doctor come and check your pulse?"
"It's still an old problem, and it's the same if you drink medicine. It's better to let Xi Ran pinch more for me, which is better than anything else. In front of the prince, the queen had no airs at all, looking like a mother.
The prince suddenly turned on his face. While helping the queen beat her legs, he asked, "Mother, when it comes to marriage, the second royal brother is not small now. Can the Queen Mother have a suitable candidate?"
"Second prince, the emperor and Princess Shu are not in a hurry. What are you worried about? Moreover, the marriage of the second prince must be the imperial concubine set by the noble concubine Shu, and the mother can't decide. The queen could no longer understand the prince. She thought that there must be something to ask, so she asked, "Anhe, what did you hear to ask?"
"Last year, I happened to hear that my uncle asked Su and You to tell the second prince, but later I didn't know why I stopped mentioning it. In the past few days, I heard that Princess Shu intended to let the second prince approach Su and You. She should want the second prince to marry her cousin. However, my uncle strongly opposed it and didn't allow the two to meet.
The prince didn't know what happened when the queen ridiculed Mrs. Su last year, and he didn't know why Su Linhua suddenly didn't mention it.
The queen couldn't help sneering, "The eldest brother has some brains and knows that he should not be too greedy." Then he looked at the prince and his face instantly returned to affinity. "Don't worry about this matter and let them go. By the way, what is Heyu doing these days?
"I went out. I heard that I had something to do in Wancheng."
Then, the main hall calmed down, and only the sound of the prince pounding his legs for the queen could be heard.
Mu Xiran also retreated quietly. After returning to the room, she thought of what the prince said, and she casually asked, "Where is Nianhan's hometown?"
"It's Wancheng, the southernmost Wancheng." Nianhua said it directly without thinking.
Mu Xian sighed gently, and Su Heyu still went to look for Nianhan, but she believed that Nianhan's nature would not hide in her hometown, but as for where to hide, how could she find it when the Sheng Dynasty was so big?
The matter that Prince Jing'an is going to marry Chu Yunjin is gradually disappearing.
Thinking that Chu Yunjin would marry Fang Yuanting, Mu Xilan thought of Fang Yumo. A few days ago, he heard that Yu Sheng was preparing for next year's palace examination. The Fang family is really happy this year.
After the concubines invited the queen in the morning, Mu Xiyan was ready to go back to the house for breakfast. Unexpectedly, Wan Zhaoyi was waiting at the door of her room. Mu Xilan glanced lightly and was too lazy to speak and went straight into the room.
Wan Zhaoyi grabbed Mu Xi'an, "In a while, the second lady will bring the sisters of the Mu family to the palace. Presumably the second sister hasn't seen them for a long time, so let's go with me.
Mu Xiyan originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought of so many women in Mu's mansion entering the palace, Wan Zhaoyi must have a good intention, and Mu Xiyan followed her wishes, "Okay, I don't know if Aunt Miao will come?"
"She can't come with a body." Wan Zhaoyi didn't expect that the first thing Mu Xiren mentioned would be Aunt Miao, so she smiled coquettishly, "That sister should come here quickly." Wan Zhaoyi doesn't seem to want to mention Aunt Miao.
"Hmm." Mu Xian responded coldly and pulled away his hand and entered the room.
Mu Xi ran with hot porridge and was stunned for a moment. Nianhua saw this and said, "If you don't want to go, then the maidservant will go to Jingren Palace."
"No. I'm still worried that I don't have a chance to meet the second lady and other people in Mufu, but now it suits me. Moreover, there are so many people in Mufu, and Wan Zhaoyi has no way to frame her. It's just a pity for this red dates and white ear porridge. With that, Mu Xian looked down at the red dates in the bowl, "When I think of them, I have no appetite."
Nianhua handed over the plum cake that Defei had just sent in the morning, "Miss, you'd better cushion your stomach. This was specially sent by the Empress Defei.
Mu Xilan looked curiously and saw that the plum cake still exuded a faint fragrance of flowers. In this hot summer day, it was really a rare thing to eat plum cake, so she pinched a piece and took a bite. The fragrance of flowers felt in her mouth. Mu Xilan tasted it carefully before laughing, "It turned out that it was made with plum petals. Plum cake made of powder.
Nianhua suddenly said, "I'm thinking about how there will be plum petals this summer."
"Fei is really attentive. Knowing that the emperor likes to eat plum cake, she specially collected the winter plum petals, dried them, and then ground them into powder to store them. It's natural to take them out to make cakes in summer." Mu Xian ate two in a row and felt in a good mood.
