The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 154 The Tragic Wen Qingzhu (4)
The previous Chu Qing was more demure and gentle, but the current Chu Qing, amidst the gentleness, hides a shocking sharpness.

"A Liying already knows." Now, Chu Zhengyang does not dare to underestimate this daughter's ability.

Chu Qing smiled sweetly: "It was known yesterday, has Daddy received the notification from Mr. Liu today?"

Sure enough.A clear look appeared in Chu Zhengyang's eyes.

"Master Liu has already sent someone to inform us that the imperial decree will arrive at our house at three o'clock tomorrow."

"Dad, are you ready?" Chu Qing didn't know the preparations needed to receive the order in this era, but only knew that it was a great honor for any family, and the ostentation and rules should not be small.

Chu Zhengyang nodded without the slightest embarrassment: "Don't worry about these Ah Li, everything will be prepared for the father, you just need to wear a formal dress to receive the order."

The next day, when the time of day arrived, many people gathered in front of the Chu residence, all wanting to see the imperial decree.

At the entrance of the Chu family, the bluestone slabs were swept clean, and the lacquered door was wiped clean. In the main hall, the incense table was set up, and the Chu family all stood in new clothes, standing in the hall, welcoming the arrival of the imperial decree.

Chu Qing stood at the front, looking at the gate together with everyone, feeling a little speechless in her heart.In the morning when it was only light, she was dug up by Jiujiu and Mingliu from the Internet, bathed and changed clothes, burned incense, and couldn't even eat a bite of breakfast. It was still far from Chenshi, so she stood here and waited.

Imperial power, in this era, is really an unattainable existence.

While waiting boredly, Chu Qing sighed in his heart.

"The imperial decree has arrived—! The Chu family has received the decree—!"

As soon as the three quarters of the hour arrived, loud voices came from far to near.

"Chu Qing, the daughter of the Chu family in Anning, is kind and mellow, with virtues and benefits, and great contributions. I think her kindness and righteousness are commendable. She is specially named a sixth-rank imperial order, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred acres of fertile land. Here it is!"

Although the order of rank six is ​​not a high rank, it has made Chu Qing no longer need to bow down when meeting court officials of rank six and below.In contrast, her future marriages will need to be reported to the imperial court, and will be under the control of the imperial court.

"Thank you, Lord Long En, long live my emperor!"

After receiving the imperial decree, Chu Qing didn't care at all about the marriage being taken over by the court.Anyway, she didn't intend to get involved with any man in her life.

What she valued more was the status of the sixth-rank imperial order, as well as the real gold and silver rewards.

Most of the silver taels obtained from Hu's family were invested in the construction of the Guize Gold and Silver Building, and now she is really short of money.With the gold and silver rewarded by the imperial court, it is naturally extremely beneficial to her development layout.

As for the [-] mu of fertile land, she will hand it over to Chu Zhengyang to send someone to take care of it.Agriculture, she is not very familiar with.

"Master Chu, congratulations to Ms. Chu, congratulations. From now on, Ms. Chu will be the royal wife of the imperial court, with official status! Hahahahaha..."

"Yeah, yeah, it's really for our An Ning people."

"Miss Chu deserves it. She took the risk to test the medicine for us."

As soon as the imperial envoy who announced the decree left, the onlookers began to surround the father and daughter of the Chu family, all kinds of compliments and congratulations continued.

At the same time, in Jianning City, north of Southern Chu, in Lan Shangshu's mansion, a small building specially built for the uncle and the young lady, a fierce quarrel was taking place.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and the maids, servants and guards were all far away from the place of right and wrong.

In the room, Wen Qingzhu was kneeling on the ground, and Lan Mingyu was sitting in front of him, chattering endlessly. The former could only reply occasionally, feeling very aggrieved.

"Wen Qingzhu, you are really promising! My dad worked so hard to find a good job for you, but you ruined it like this. Not only did you not get any profit, but you also made my dad lose face."

Lan Mingyu was tired of cursing, picked up a cup of tea at the table, and drank it to moisten the mulberry.

As soon as the tea was in her mouth, she spat it out again, and threw the whole teacup directly on Wen Qingzhu.The cup hit Wen Qingzhu's chest hard, and the tea immediately soaked his front. Fortunately, the tea was already cold, otherwise he might be injured.

"What kind of tea is this? It's so disgusting." Lan Mingyu said in disgust, not caring about her husband's embarrassment at the moment.

Wen Qingzhu endured the pain in his chest, and forced a smile: "My lady is right, this tea is not good, we just don't drink it in the future."

Lan Mingyu snorted coldly: "I really can't see that you, a dignified number one scholar, would fall on the head of a girl."

Wen Qingzhu's eyes twitched fiercely, he gritted his teeth and didn't answer.He admitted that this time it fell into Chu Qing's hands.Now, how could he not know that Chu Qing contributed a lot to this matter?
Naturally, he didn't know the specific things, but he believed that it was Chu Qing who disturbed his good business.

"Why are you so useless?" Lan Mingyu said bitterly.

"My lady, I..." Wen Qingzhu looked at Lan Mingyu timidly, and to be honest, he didn't dare to offend this wife.Not only is she a powerful person herself, but also her father who is in a high position.

Wen Qingzhu's eyes made Lan Mingyu irritated and could not bear it.After all, this is her first man, and also his husband. His talent once made her fall in love with him.After being married for so long, how could there be no trace of true feelings?

"Let me handle the matter of that woman." Lan Mingyu said coldly.

"!"

Wen Qingzhu raised his head, his wife, whose eyes were astonished, didn't seem to understand what she meant.

Lan Mingyu didn't look at him, but just sneered, with sarcasm in her eyes, and the sarcasm that went deep into her bone marrow seemed to be aimed at Chu Qing who was far away in Anning City.

"Ahh-!"

"Miss, do you catch a cold?"

A slight sneezing sound made Ming Liu put down what he was doing immediately, and turned back to the back room to take out a cloak for Chu Qing who was sitting by the window.

Chu Qing shook her head slightly, the cool wind outside the window didn't make her feel cold, she joked, "Maybe someone is scolding me."

Mingliu covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Where will someone scold you? I'm afraid someone is thinking about you."

Chu Qing turned her eyes to look at her, and said with a smile on her lips: "It's true that I am hated by your young lady, but no one misses me."

"What about Prince Xiaoyao?" Ming Liu asked boldly, taking a peek at Chu Qing's expression.

Chu Qing's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't care about Ming Liu's temptation. He said with a slight smile, "Your words make people feel abrupt and funny. The relationship between me and Xiaoyao Wang is just a friendship between a gentleman and a friend. Not to mention thoughts If you don’t miss it, even if it’s true, what’s the problem?”

Hearing these words, Mingliu's eyes showed a faint disappointment, and he asked persistently: "King Xiaoyao's heart for Miss, we other people can see it. Miss is so smart, and she is in the middle of the game, but I feel uncomfortable. Are you there?"
