The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 25
No one doubts Chu Qifeng's ability. The eldest grandson of the emperor is mediocre, and Chu Yi'an has always trained Chu Qifeng as his successor.

After reporting back to the business, Butler Zeng withdrew.

At that time in Jinhuatang, Qingluo who went out to inquire about news also came back.

"Find it?" Chu Xunyang stood on the corridor deep in the courtyard admiring the flowers, and didn't turn his head when he heard her footsteps.

"Yes!" Qing Luo said, "It was Princess Pingguo's plan to give Da Junma a concubine. The princess has been married for two years and her stomach hasn't moved, so Madam Ping couldn't bear it anymore."

Chu Xunyang didn't say a word, but leaned on the railing with a smile on his lips to touch a clump of begonias a little farther away.

Seeing this, Qing Luo knew that she knew what was in her mind, so she continued, "As for accepting the second princess, it was Princess Anle's private idea for the first princess, and Concubine Lei probably didn't even know about it."

"Chu Lingyun?" Hearing this, Chu Xunyang couldn't help chuckling, "She's really good at it, she even reached out to the inner courtyard of my East Palace. It seems that the lesson I taught her last time wasn't deep enough?"

"Princess Anle is not a big princess, logically speaking, she shouldn't do such a mindless thing." Qingluo was puzzled.

Chu Yi'an's backyard is not something that a junior like Chu Lingyun can get his hands on. Even if the queen spoils her again, it is not appropriate for her to do such a thing.

"She doesn't have any brains, she clearly hated us for what happened in the reed marsh a few days ago." Chu Xunyang smiled.

Qingluo was startled, and said in disbelief: "Although the incident was done by the princess at the time, it was done in a secret way, and you and the princess didn't show up in person, how could she suspect us?"

"It's not that I doubt it, I'm afraid the empress is used to her and she's got a bad habit again!" Chu Xunyang picked a flower, played with it and sat on the bench behind the railing, then said slowly and casually, " Although she won't suspect us, but she has suffered such a big secret loss, and she is bound to be angry. At that time, her father was sitting in the army and enjoying peace, but she and Chu Qiyan were almost killed by the South China people. In this comparison, she herself I can't swallow this breath."

Qingluo was dumbfounded, and after a long while she said in surprise, "Just for this?"

That time when Chu Lingyun was in danger, it was her own fault. If she hadn't had the intention of harming others, nothing would have happened if she hadn't gone to the border to fiddle around. No matter how you think about it, you can't blame others for that incident.

"That's why!" Chu Xunyang said in a firm tone, "In a sense, that woman is an out-and-out lunatic. The one who has been favored by the queen these years has become more and more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, even in our East Palace. Dare to fight the court's idea."

Chu Lingyun is a woman with a strong desire to control, and after being used by the queen, she has developed a self-centered temperament. Things that seem illogical to outsiders are not surprising to her.

Although Qing Luo still thought it was ridiculous, she believed in Chu Xunyang's judgment. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then what is the Princess going to do with this matter? Do you want to tell His Highness?"

"Father is busy recently, so there is no need to bother him." Chu Xunyang said, patted his skirt and stood up, "Repress first, and I will give her a long memory later, let her know that the things in other people's inner courtyards are serious. You can't just reach in."

Having said that, Chu Xunyang didn't do much after that. Instead, rumors began to float out of nowhere in the streets and alleys three days later, saying that Princess Xunyang was domineering in the East Palace because of his favor and arrogance. He disrespected his side concubine first, and then went over to punish his concubine on his behalf.

In this way, the private affairs of the honorable family are the most talked about, and in just half a day, it has been widely spread outside.

In Jinxiu Tower, Concubine Lei finally smiled comfortably when she got the news, she straightened her dress and got up to go out.

"Where are you going, Ma'am?" Nanny Gui, her confidant, hurried forward to help her.

"Your Highness is in the study right now? How can I not put on an attitude when such a big incident happened?" Said Concubine Lei, the corners of her eyes were raised, and her eyes were full of brilliance——

She can't let Chu Yi'an take the initiative to come to the door to question the crime, she must preemptively remove the suspicion, but she doesn't know that her actions are nothing more than the behavior of a clown to Chu Yi'an.

A group of people hurried to Chu Yi'an's study.

Concubine Lei didn't dare to trespass in the study room, so she just knelt down outside the courtyard without saying a word.

At that time, Chu Yi'an was discussing official business with Butler Zeng, when Lu Yuan, who was guarding the door outside, opened the door and came in to report, "His Royal Highness, the side concubine is kneeling outside the courtyard, saying that she is not strict with her family, and people misrepresent gossip and go out to hurt the princess. reputation, I’m here to plead guilty to you.”

Chu Yi'an stopped moving his pen for a moment, and frowned impatiently.

Butler Zeng understood, and immediately said: "The matter was spread through the mouth of the third lady."

First came a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then dared to run in front of him to put on a show?
Chu Yi'an's temper was aroused all of a sudden, and he said coldly, "Go and tell her, since she knew she was guilty, she went to the Buddhist hall to stay with Lian Shi, and when she felt that she could atone for her sins, she would come out."

Concubine Lei was dumbfounded when she heard what Lu Yuan said.

Nanny Gui beside her widened her eyes in disbelief, and said sharply, "How could this be? My mother just—"

Nanny Gui almost bit her tongue halfway through her words, and quickly stopped——

Sure enough, Lu Yuan said coldly afterwards: "The family is not strict, this is the original words of the side concubine, the subordinate is just conveying His Highness's instructions, the side concubine should invite her herself!"

The implication is that if Concubine Lei insists on not leaving, if he is really forced to make a move and then alarm Chu Yi'an, it will be even uglier in the future.

Concubine Lei's face turned pale. She always knew that Chu Yi'an was right, and she was helpless by Nanny Gui, but she was still a little unwilling and said, "I want to see Your Highness face to face!"

"Your Highness is busy with business." Lu Yuan's tone was still stiff.

After all, Concubine Lei is also from everyone, so she knows the importance of the important matter, so she won't make a fuss here.

"Your Majesty, let's go!" Nanny Gui's eyes were red, and she helped Concubine Lei to turn around.

Concubine Lei never thought that she would shoot herself in the foot with a rock, the most important thing is that this time the incident was simply too inexplicable——

She said the words through the third wife, Mrs. Liang, and she did it in an extremely secretive manner. She turned around several times in order not to leave any traces. She came here just to make a gesture to please Chu Yi'an, why is it inexplicable closed?
Concubine Lei almost laughed at herself when she thought about it, but when she looked up, she saw Chu Xunyang under the osmanthus tree not far away, looking at her leisurely with a smile on her lips, as if——
