Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 111

Chu Li smiled faintly, but his eyes were not warm when looking at her, and his purple pupils did not change substantially: "Since the princess likes it, go."

He agreed, but Ling Wanshu didn't dare to continue holding his arm, and slowly let go, nodded and smiled: "Your Highness really loves Shu'er. Since the ladies in the palace are all from their own family, in the future Shu'er will walk around more with aunt."

Emperor Chu and Empress Fu praised Ling Wanshu for being beautiful and sensible.

A banquet is just a performance of fatherly kindness, filial piety or family happiness. However, even if the feelings are not necessarily true, the identities of the people and the bond between them are real and inseparable.

Chu Mu looked and listened, but felt empty in his heart, it was like this at this time of the year, no matter where he went, he was alone and had nothing to do with anyone.no mother.Father never stayed with him for more than a quarter of an hour, let alone a holiday.It has been like this every year since I can remember.

Chu Mu smiled slightly, took a sip from his wine glass.

Emperor Chu suddenly spoke again: "Mu'er, is your father alright?"

Chu Mu raised his head and looked at Emperor Chu with a slightly stiff expression. However, he has always been able to make others feel that his heart is open and joyful. He put down his glass and smiled: "I heard that the father is very good, but Mu'er has been there for a long time. I've never seen him before."

Chu Huang's eyes were deep, but the smile on his face was rarely erratic: "Really?" The unnatural expression was quickly covered up, and Chu Huang smiled and said: "Come on, today the family gathers to celebrate the New Year and bid farewell to the old one." Welcome to the new year. Have a drink with me!"

So, everyone in the room toasted together, and several underage princesses and princes snatched sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and substituted tea for wine.Afterwards, huge fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating the entire Imperial Garden, and the pool water in the Imperial Garden reflected the light of the fireworks blooming, dazzling and dazzing, and those little princesses and princes clapped their hands around the water pavilion and jumped for joy.

As long as the children of the royal family are not born as princes, or pose no threat to the status of princes, they can still play freely when they are young.These little princesses and princes are too young, and they are a little reluctant to read "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Family Poems" on weekdays. They love to play and make trouble, but as long as they don't invade the territory of the harem overlord, they will always be safe.

The banquet was over, and everyone went back to their respective places.The crown prince returned to the East Palace with the main concubine and side concubine. Chu Mu and Chu Li lived outside the palace and had to go out of the palace in different ways.

Chu Li walked in front, but because of his height, Ling Wanshu couldn't keep up, so he could only jog after him with his skirt lifted.

Chu Mu thought it was funny, Miss Ling met Chu Li, and she lost her previous pampering temper, which is really rare.Think about it, yes, Chu Li's withdrawn personality, once he becomes cold, is more terrifying than Yasha, no wonder Miss Ling is in such a mess.

However, Chu Mu just found it funny, other than that, he had no sympathy at all, and even gloated a little.The little fool didn't like the Xiangguo Mansion, and even planned an escape. If he hadn't been used by others, he must have gotten free.Therefore, even if all the members of the Ling family were dead, he would not blink. He even deliberately added fuel and vinegar to solve one of the sources of wealth that Ling Xiang relied on to show off—Qi Lu, the head of the Qi family in the east of the city. up.

It was also a coincidence that when he sneaked into the other courtyard in the east of the city that night, he happened to meet those cronies at a gathering, and he simply went on and on and wiped out those profiteers and corrupt officials.This time, half of Ling Xiang's arm was cut off. Is it possible that the second Mrs. Qiao will not be able to hold her head up in the Xiangguo Mansion from now on?Marriages between relatives of the emperor and ministers in the court are mostly political marriages or power-money transactions. Without the backing of father and brother, no matter how beautiful and intelligent a woman is, she may be abandoned at any time.

Looking around casually, Chu Mu felt refreshed. Would she be happy if she was here?I feel very lost again, every family is celebrating the new year, but she, where will she be?Where can I go?Is there any place she can go?
"There is no beauty in the world" is gone, "Tasting all kinds of herbs" is also without her, "Jewelry" and "Ingenuity" are still as calm as before, and there is no news about the Yinwei who secretly went out of the city to investigate. Chu is so big, we have to find her , is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.He didn't even know if she left by herself, or if someone took her away on purpose.If someone took her away and tried to use her to threaten Chu Li, then they should have already started asking for conditions, and there would be no movement.If she left by herself, she is a 13-year-old girl, helpless, where can she go?

Remembering the cruel words he said to Chu Li last time, he said that as long as she is still alive, he will definitely find her.But now, the more time dragged on, the more uncertain he felt.It was hard to grind an uneasy heart into a desolation that was almost desperate.

"Little prince, let's just leave here." Hearing Chu Li's voice suddenly, Chu Mu looked back and realized that he had already left the Xihua Gate.Their sedan chairs are parked at the gate of the palace, aren't they about to pass by?

Chu Musa smiled and said, "Your Highness, take care of yourself. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If something goes wrong..." After a pause, he looked at Ling Wanshu, and said, "What should the princess do?"

Chu Mu's mouth was still as mean as ever, and Chu Li raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Young Lord is worried. This king left Chudu and went to the battlefield. It is an honor to die for the country. But the little prince can't leave the city. If you can't leave Beijing, how can you find the beauty in your heart?"

Chu Mu's amber pupils flashed, and he said with a smile: "If His Highness the Seventh Highness happens to meet that beauty, please tell Xiao Wang. I've been thinking about it for so long, even if I can't get it, I still have to take a look to be at ease. He pointed the finger at Ling Wanshu again, frowned, and patted his head exaggeratedly: "Oh, look at Xiao Wang's memory. The Seventh Highness is already married, and the princess is still here! Even if the little beauty is willing to be wronged Isn't the concubine's room going to hurt the Seventh Princess' heart? Your Highness has to think carefully!"

"The little prince really thinks of me." Chu Li's expression changed, and he turned and walked towards the sedan chair.Chu Mu's mouth is really disgusting, but what he said makes sense, and he is powerless to refute. What kind of tricks are such cynical and presumptuous characters playing?Half-truths and half-fakes make people feel disgusted when they look at them.

Seeing him leave, Chu Mu raised his voice and added: "Your Highness, please don't get angry. Don't be distracted by what Xiao Wang said just now on the battlefield. If you are not careful at that time... the consequences will be serious." Very serious! But, to be honest, His Royal Highness is dead or alive, and has nothing to do with Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang will still eat what he should eat, and play what he should play. Maybe it is useless to laugh at His Highness. Xiao Wang has always been so mean and boring, His Royal Highness knows it too, right? Besides, besides Xiao Wang, other cats and dogs probably think the same way."

These seemingly absurd jokes are provocative and arrogant in the ears of others, but they have a different meaning in Chu Li's ears. He stopped and looked back at Chu Mu. His purple pupils were deep and shallow. With a slight smile: "Too many jokes will inevitably make people disgusted. Taoist priests have spread too many pretense that they can't distinguish between true and false, and maybe the fox's tail is exposed. Little prince, those arguments about death and immortality , the king accepted it, and now, I will pass it on to the little prince."

Zitong turned around, glanced at Ling Wanshu, and got on the sedan chair by herself. The sedan body was still monotonous black, without gorgeous accessories, which was completely different from Chu Mu's.

Chu Mu smiled: "Xiao Wang also accepted it." He also boarded another gorgeous sedan chair.

Ling Wanshu couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about. Although they listened carefully, they didn't hear anything meaningful.It seems that they are arguing, and they seem to be on good terms with each other.Seeing that Chu Li got into the sedan chair, she immediately lifted her skirt and got into another sedan chair.The sedan chair got up immediately.

Ling Wanshu felt very wronged, but she couldn't mention this kind of grievance to anyone. Could it be that her majestic Miss Xiangguo Mansion wanted to tell the world that she was still perfect since she entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion?To tell everyone, either His Highness the Seventh Highness is incompetent, or she is dull and does not understand the etiquette of husband and wife?

Even, she rarely saw Chu Li.When I stayed in Tianxi Pavilion, I was depressed and bored, and there was nothing interesting to go out for a walk. I went to find Chu Li but was stopped and said that His Highness was busy.

Busy, busy, busy, military training, northern expedition, all these things are not of interest to her.She has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she is used to being pampered and indulgent. Her life is suddenly dull, and her movements are restricted in all directions, which almost makes her collapse.

Because of the downfall of the Qi family in Xiangguo's mansion, father is not in a good mood, and Gu Yanyan has recently become a princess, if she tells these unsatisfactory things, where will Ling Wanshu's face be put? ?Therefore, she didn't say anything, and even had to whitewash the present loneliness when necessary, packaging it as perfect happiness to fool people's hearts.

In Fengzao Palace, Fu Wanying, Gu Yanyan, and Chu Xiao were drinking tea and chatting.

At first it was just gossip, and she could still talk and laugh, but later Fu Wanying's face changed, and she said to Chu Xiao, "Xiao Er, where is your side concubine?"

She was so flustered at the family banquet just now, she lost all face!It's still the princess who understands the general situation, laughs when she should laugh, and speaks when she should speak. After all, she is everyone's young lady, and she is different from those seductive girls who come from prostitutes!
"She's not feeling well, she's going to rest first." Chu Xiao smiled lightly, with a warm and soft voice.But he sighed in his heart, he knew his mother would ask such a question.How could Xinxin not feel sad after hearing the news of the death of a friend outside the palace?Just now I kept asking him a lot of questions, and finally I had to accept the fact that Miss Si of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been burned to death, tired from crying, and fell into a deep sleep.
