Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 445
"What's the matter?" he asked curiously.

Ming concubine took a piece of pastry and said while eating, "It's my elder brother's business. He is afraid that the old man of the Shen family will encounter misfortune on the way to Beijing with his daughter, so he asked Xianggong to send some secret guards to take care of him."

To Chu Mochen, this was just a matter of lip service.

But according to Ming concubine's understanding of Chu Mochen, it must not be that easy for him, no, Chu Mochen looked at her, obviously thinking about what kind of gift he wanted.

But fortunately this time, before he could figure out what to ask for, Haitang knocked on the door outside and said, "My lord, my concubine, Prince Yun's son and Princess Hanshan have arrived."

They came just in time, Ming concubine said, "I'll go meet them."

As she spoke, she turned and left. She walked quickly, her skirt billowing like blue waves.

Chu Mochen's eyes showed a hint of doting, he knocked on the table, Zhao Cheng, who was guarding outside, came in, Chu Mochen said, "Take a few people to meet the elder of the Shen family."

After he finished speaking, the concubine outside opened the door and came in, "Don't forget to go to the pharmacy and bring some antidote for emergencies."

"The subordinates know," Zhao Cheng said.

Ming concubine smiled, and happily went to the front yard to meet Princess Hanshan.

She went late, Chu Yu and Chu Dai arrived early, talking and laughing with Princess Hanshan, and glanced at Prince Yun from time to time, it seemed that they really admired Prince Yun.

Seeing Ming Concubine, Princess Hanshan stepped a little faster and called out, "Sister Ming Concubine."

Chu Yu was a few steps behind, and the smile on his face froze at that moment.

They greeted her just now, but they didn't see Princess Hanshan so happy. She invited her to Zhennan Palace to enjoy flowers and tea. Why is she more familiar with Shizifei? !
At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, it was the first time they met. The Yongguo Mansion only chatted during the three dynasties, so the relationship is so close?

When she returned to Beijing, she made a special detour to meet her at Prince Yun's Mansion. She never treated her like this!
Chu Yu gritted her teeth angrily, she looked left and right, and looked at Ming concubine from head to toe, but she didn't see anything particularly attractive about her.

It's not just Chu Yu, but Ming Concubine is also puzzled, Princess Hanshan seems to be very kind to her, she guessed it might be because Princess Qingyi said a lot of good things to her.

Princess Hanshan and Prince Yun first went to Changhui Courtyard to greet the old lady, and greeted the old lady on behalf of Prince Yun and Princess Yun, and brought some specialties of the fief and health-preserving pills to the old lady.

The old lady said happily, "Lord Yun and Princess Yun have a heart."

For Prince Yun, the eldest wife is full of praise. Those who praise concubines can listen to blushes, and praise should be done in moderation. Can you be more reserved? Prince Yun has a good appearance, a good family background, and a good temperament. Big, I should have heard compliments a lot, even if it was like this, the ears were reddish when praised by the big lady, which shows the degree of praise.

Chu Yu couldn't stand listening to the praise, and said, "Mother, I'll take them to Chen Xiangxuan."

After Ming Concubine and his party left, the third wife looked at the eldest wife and smiled, "Yu'er is not young, it's time to get married."

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady and said, "Are you willing to marry Yu'er far away?"

Prince Yun's Mansion has been staying in the fief all these years. Although it goes to Beijing every year, it is far away after all, and it is not as close as you can see.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "As long as you treat Yu'er well, it doesn't matter if you marry far away. I believe Prince Yun's mansion will not stay in the fief all the time."

The third wife laughed meaningfully, "It seems that sister-in-law has taken a fancy to Prince Yun's son."

They are all a family, and the eldest wife has nothing to be embarrassed about. There are hundreds of daughters in the family, and a good son-in-law is also missed by a bunch of people. She said, "The prince of Yun and the princess of Hanshan are not young. Going back to Beijing, maybe I don’t have plans to find a marriage for my sons and daughters.”

Now the relationship between Prince Yun's Mansion and the emperor is good, but once the emperor and the courtiers are in charge, who can guarantee that the next emperor will ascend the throne and that Prince Yun's Mansion will still be honored and favored?
You can't just look at the present, you have to think about the long-term.

The third wife laughed, "It's a pity that Concubine Sun Gui is not feeling well, otherwise you can ask her to come forward to find out what Concubine Yun is saying."

Speaking of Concubine Sun Gui, the old lady asked one more question, "Concubine Sun Guifei's health hasn't improved yet?"

The third wife shook her head, "There is no sign of improvement, and even the imperial doctor can't find any signs of poisoning. This is a short period of time, and Sun Guifei's residual prestige is still there. If things go on like this, I'm afraid..."

If Concubine Sun falls out of favor, it will be more than ten times more difficult for King Heng to be canonized as the prince than it is now.

Although there is no evidence, they all feel that Sun Guifei's unlucky concubine Ming has an inseparable relationship with her.

Let me explain that they were walking towards Chen Xiangxuan, and when they entered the yard, Xueyan pushed Chu Mochen to welcome them, and Chu Mochen and Prince Yun went to the gazebo to talk.

Ming Yu accompanied Princess Hanshan to enjoy the flowers in the yard. After a while, Chu Mofeng and Chu Mowei walked over.

Chu Yu saw it and said, "It's a pity that the third sister-in-law is injured and can't come."

She squinted at Chu Dai.

Chu Dai said, "How about we go and see her? Fuyunxuan is not far away."

She proposed, and Chu Yu readily accepted, and Princess Hanshan was free to do as she pleased, and Ming concubine didn't want to go, so she said, "You guys go, I'll go to the kitchen to make some arrangements."

Chu Yu didn't want Mingyu to have too much contact with Princess Hanshan, so she didn't pull her along, and they left together.

Ming concubine turned around, and within a few steps, she was stopped by Chu Mofeng.

She looked back, and saw Chu Mofeng walking over, concubine Ming blessed him and saluted him. Chu Mofeng, with a bit of shame on his face, apologized to concubine Ming for the eldest wife.

Ming concubine has a great affection for Chu Mofeng, not only because he saved her at the Lantern Festival, but also because of that clear and elegant temperament, which faintly gives people a feeling of indifference to the world.

This feeling is completely different from that given to her by the old man and the old lady, so he is him and the old lady is the old lady, and she never confuses them.

This is also the reason why Chu Mochen trusts Chu Mofeng even though he knows that the head room is against him, because he knows they are different.

She asked Chu Mochen why Chu Mofeng and the old man had such different temperaments, and Chu Mochen said that it might have something to do with the amount of time Chu Mofeng and the old man spent together since childhood.

The eldest grandson of the eldest room always attracts more attention. If it weren't for the great love for Chu Mofeng, the old Duke would not have chosen to let the elder inherit the title knowing that the prince's talent is far superior to that of the elder.

At this moment, Chu Mofeng apologized to Ming concubine instead of the eldest wife, but Ming concubine had to face the fact that the eldest wife she hated was Chu Mofeng's own mother.

Ming concubine smiled awkwardly, and said, "Eldest young master is apologizing for the eldest wife, but Ming concubine feels a little ungrateful."

Chu Mofeng was kind to her, but she had a conflict with his mother, so it shouldn't have happened, it must have caused him to be scolded.

"It's my mother's fault," Chu Mofeng said sadly.

Although he doesn't get involved in the affairs of the palace's inner courtyard, he knows what he should know. She has a non-competitive nature, and if it wasn't for others to push her into a hurry, she wouldn't show her sharp claws.

The last thing he wanted was to see her fighting against the eldest wife, but he couldn't stop anyone.
