Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 856 Children (97) Criteria for Spouse Selection

Chu Shaoyou, who is low-key on the surface but very high-profile in private, has already entered Hucheng.

At the gate of the city, Chu Yinjing's confidant eunuch was waiting, bowing forward to salute, straightened his waist and said, "His Royal Highness, the emperor wants you to spend ten days behind closed doors in the Prince's Mansion."

Still the old way.

Chu Shaoyou was mentally prepared, and pointed to a pile of medicinal herbs at the back, "These are for nourishing the queen mother's body, please take Eunuch Zhao back to the palace."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Chu Shaoyou rode his horse back to the house obediently, thinking about it.

Naturally, he would not be idle, and immediately asked someone to bring a message to Chu Yuxuan, asking him to come to the Prince's Mansion.

They were all mentally prepared. I heard that when Chu Shaoyou left Hucheng for a day trip, Chu Yuxuan fell ill, and now he was seriously ill and was bedridden, unable to come.

When the words came back, Chu Shaoyou heheed twice, "Take the words again, as long as he recovers from his illness, he still has to run this trip."

The guard ran diligently and took the original words.

Chu Yuxuan went to see his father, stroking his head.

"What do you say?"

Prince Zhuang looked at him leisurely, "What can I do? His Royal Highness and the Emperor are both sensible people, and they are in the same group. They wrestle with each other, and there is no one to run errands. The prime minister has high authority and is also old. , who will run if you don’t run?”

Chu Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, "Just running errands?"

Prince Zhuang glanced at him coldly, "Otherwise, what else would you do?"

Chu Yuxuan immediately regained his energy, and his back was not sore, his legs were not sore, and his throat rang, "That's fine, I'll go there tomorrow."

Seen as gossip, this incident is quite fun.

However, he still has a question to ask, "Father, do you want the crown prince to marry Princess Jade? Or can't you marry Princess Jade?"

Prince Zhuang frowned, and said in a deep thought, "From the perspective of closeness, it is of course more beneficial not to marry. Although our relationship with the Queen of Dayu Kingdom is good, it is incomparable with the Weibei Chu family. The relationship between them They are real blood relatives, and the relationship between Chu Zimo and Chu Sijiu can be said to be unbreakable. If the crown prince marries Princess Jade and ascends the throne in the future, he may fall to the Weibei Chu family, which is not good for us."

"But the prince has a deep affection for Princess Jade, if he plays tricks in the middle, he will definitely hate us." Chu Yuxuan said with certainty.

Prince Zhuang glanced at him, "You know, why don't you run errands properly? If you behave well now, you will be able to talk later."

Chu Yuxuan made a bitter face, "What do you mean?"

Prince Zhuang took a sip of tea slowly, "If the prince is a wise king, he must have the same control over the government as the emperor. He will maintain the balance between the Chu family in Wuguo and the Chu family in Weibei. Whichever side is weak, it will favor whichever side is weak." One side. The prime minister is so smart, he has been controlling this speed all these years and will not push us too hard. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have eaten us to pieces."

Chu Yuxuan understood, so he just watched the excitement and followed the trend.

……

Yecheng, the imperial palace.

Dongfang Mingqi found Chu Sijiu.

There were still a few traces of the five palm prints on his face, and his voice was quite aggrieved, "Master, I was slapped by my concubine."

"Well, I heard." Chu Sijiu saw the mark a long time ago, and according to her defensive nature, she was also a little annoyed.

But it's hard to say anything, "My concubine has raised you for so many years, it's just a slap, don't take it seriously."

Dongfang Mingqi didn't worry about this, he came to Chu Sijiu with the attitude of solving the problem.

Coughing lightly, he asked with a smile, "Master, I heard that Mo Chou is your man."

Chu Sijiu was surprised that he would come to ask this, and raised his eyebrows at him, "That's right, I sent Mo Chou to the Eighth Prince's Mansion."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Dongfang Mingqi quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Master, I didn't mean to blame you."

Chu Sijiu snorted, "Can you blame me? You really have to blame this matter. The first is to blame Mo Chou for harming others and herself; the second is to blame your father, such a smart person, for letting Mo Chou I took advantage of the loophole; the third is to blame your mother and concubine, with the support of the emperor and the Murong Mansion, she was played around by a concubine; the fourth is to blame me, because I don’t know people clearly."

Dongfang Mingqi nodded repeatedly and hurriedly praised, "Master is absolutely right."

Chu Sijiu glanced at him indifferently, "Do you want to ask, do I know who Mo Chou is?"

Dongfang Mingqi chuckled, "Master is so powerful, so I know that Mo Chou has ambitions, but I didn't expect her to be so unscrupulous."

Chu Sijiu said "um", and leaned back lazily on the chair back, "At first, I didn't intend to let Mochou enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion, I chose several good husbands for her. But she likes your father, she would rather As a concubine, you also have to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion. I asked Yun Duo to go to the backyard of the Eighth Prince's Mansion to investigate the situation. At that time, your mother and concubine couldn't control the backyard because she couldn't have children, so her life was awkward. I thought about it, anyway, it's a mess. In the backyard, it doesn’t matter if there is one more concubine or one less concubine, so I softened my heart and asked your father’s permission to send Mo Chou in. But, I did something wrong.”

Chu Sijiu sighed softly, "At that time, I actually guessed why your mother concubine was sterile, so I wrote a method and asked Yun Duo to take it to Mo Chou, so that she could show favor to your mother concubine and take refuge in her. I also told her not to Hurry to get pregnant, wait for your mother and concubine to give birth to a son, and then conceive and give birth to a son, so that the whole life will be safe. How could you know that Mo Chou is so powerful that she won the favor of your father and king, and ruled the backyard."

Dongfang Mingqi looked at her thoughtfully, "So, you wanted to help my concubine back then."

Chu Sijiu shook her head, and said frankly, "No, I protect my own shortcomings and help my own people. My original intention was to help Mo Chou, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless and cause such a big incident. But your mother The imperial concubine was also ruthless, beating her to death, one corpse and two lives was not enough, and she also sent her son out of the Eighth Prince's Mansion. For Mochou, it is evil that comes with evil, and she chose this path herself, so she can't complain Other people. As for your mother and concubine, although she has avenged blood and hatred, she has gotten into the horns, if she can't get out, there will be no happiness in this life."

Dongfang Mingqi nodded frequently, "Master says everything is transparent, if mother and concubine have your stomach, father and king will not avoid her."

Chu Sijiu spat at him, "I'm too small. To be my man, you have to behave yourself. You can't even go to brothels. Yu'er, Ruoyun, Yiyun, and Xi'er are all the criteria for choosing a mate."

"Of course." Dongfang Mingqi widened his eyes and looked innocent, "If I can marry Ruoyun, I will definitely be like Huang Shang to you. I will only have one wife, and I will never touch other women."

Chu Sijiu glanced at him angrily, "It's a pity that no matter how correct your attitude is, it's useless. Your mother and concubine are so determined, even God Ice shook his head."

"Ah?" Dongfang Mingqi was about to cry, "Master, you said that you are the most protective, and you must help the apprentice realize his wish."

Chu Sijiu also admired him, "Hey, you are also a prince, show some ambition."

Dongfang Mingqi said bitterly, "If you show your ambition, will Old Taishan be willing to marry Ruoyun to me?"

Chu Sijiu shook her head, "God Ice said, if your mother and concubine don't nod, he won't either."
