Ye Miao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the incident between Wei Jiu and Song Ning'er was about to repeat?

In the Imperial Garden, the prince and Chu Yuzhu's clothes were wet.

Even though it was so far away, Chu Yuzhu's clothes were still half open, revealing a touch of snow-whiteness.

The palace people quickly handed over thick cloaks to wrap the two of them and hugged them to the warm room.

The ladies gathered together and talked a lot.

"Chu Yuzhu has been demoted to a civilian. Only the lady from the fifth rank and above official family can attend this time. Why did she appear here?"

"She came secretly, right?" said a lady wearing a green spring shirt. "Do you think this is familiar with me just now?"

Song Ning'er is still the granddaughter of the third-rank Boye family, but she has a bad reputation and has not come to attend the feast of hairpin.

"At the spring banquet two years ago, Song Ning'er was rescued by Mr. Wei Jiu in this way, and the queen ordered them to marry."

"Song Ning'er and Chu Yuzhu are both the niece of the Empress. The Empress couldn't bear to Song Ning'er lose her reputation and became a sister-in-law that day, so she gave her a marriage. Will the Empress also point the marriage for Chu Yuzhu today?"

The Imperial Garden suddenly became quiet. They came here to participate in the hairpin flower garden. Whether voluntarily or from the family's instructions, since they came, they had the intention of competing.

But before this began, people used despicable means to intercept Hu.

At that time, Song Ning'er was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Song's Mansion, with the Chu family and the queen as their backers. Even if many ladies saw her methods, they did not dare to argue too much.

Now it’s different if it’s Chu Yuzhu.

After all, the Duke of Song Dynasty was declining, and the Chu family was demoted to civilians. They were not allowed to enter the court for the five generations. Compared with them, it was a huge difference.

"Poverty is really a mirror to reflect the demons. One son can reflect someone's wolf ambitions."

"Tsk tsk, Miss Chu, who was once arrogant, is just like that."

"If she can't get into this hairpin feast today, would she recommend her pillow for the sake of glory and wealth?"

The ladies made fun of humiliation without hesitation with jealousy.

The warm room is not far from here, and is specially prepared for these ladies who attended the hairpin feast.

The laughter came into the warm room. Although Chu Yuzhu couldn't hear the ladies clearly, the ridicule and jealousy in the laughter were clearly clear.

Chu Yuzhu gritted her teeth and Chu Shang became a monk. She lost her last support. She didn't want to be tricked by the queen, but her monthly civilian life has polished all her pride.

How can people who once lived in the clouds adapt to this lowly life at the bottom?

So she agreed to the queen's request to be the prince's woman, so that those who once supported the Chu family would support the prince.

If she gives birth to a prince in the future and the prince ascends the throne, she will be made the queen.

Chu Yuzhu knew in her heart that even if she gave birth to a prince and the prince ascended the throne, she might not be able to make her queen. After all, the battle between the Qi royal family and the Chu family finally won the victory, so how could she allow the Chu family to rekindle?

She knew she was now trying to get a fuck with Hu, but she had no choice because it was Chu's only chance to turn things around.

Because she didn't want to marry a garment dealer and let others slander.

Even if she was about to die, she would have to die gorgeously in the struggle for wealth and glory, so that she would not be in vain to live in this world and be a member of the Chu family.

I don’t know who suggested that he would go to the queen to expose Chu Yuzhu’s sinister intentions.

After a long response, the ladies went to the central palace together.

Qi Hui swallowed the apple in the pavilion and came to her senses, "Grand Prince, Second Prince, let's go and have a look!"

It's a pity if you don't see the results quickly!

Baoer looked at her curiously, not understanding what was good at.

However, before he could react, Qi Hui had thrown away the apple core and picked him up and ran out.

Baoer has his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about the eldest prince not coming with him.

The eldest prince is here, and the second prince will follow you.

At that time, even if the old concubine and the queen punished each other, there would be some people who would take care of each other.

Sure enough, just after she ran two steps, she heard Ye Miao shouting from behind: "Three Emperors, be careful, don't throw Bao'er!"

When the three of them arrived at the Central Palace, they didn't know if the palace maids there were so many ladies who came suddenly and were stunned. They didn't report and stopped them.

A few people stood quietly behind the ladies.

There was nothing I said before, but after finally calming down, the queen said, "Empress Concubine, this is my fault. A few days ago, I went to see my sister and Yuzhu. Seeing that there was no one in the mansion to serve me, Yuzhu decocted medicine for my sister. I felt distressed, so I took her into the palace to take care of her."

"Today's feast, I wanted Yuzhu to help me with my palms and pick a good marriage for the prince. Yuzhu was once the eldest lady of the Chu family. She had a good relationship with these ladies in the past, and I must be very clear about their talents and qualities."

"I just didn't expect that this happened." The queen said, "Empress Concubine, although Yuzhu is no longer a lady in the official family, she is still my niece. I really can't bear to lose all her reputation and be despised by thousands of people."

Because of the Empress Dowager's relationship, the old concubine was a little close to the Chu family, but the Qi royal family had a strong fight with the Chu family, so she was not easy to participate, so she rarely interacted with the Chu family.

She felt a little pity for Chu Yuzhu when such a thing happened, "However, Yuzhu's current identity is not worthy of the prince."

"I understand that the position of the Crown Princess and the concubine is not her turn. If I want her to be the Crown Prince's Little Princess, I will treat it as pity for her and give her a place to sit."

To put it nicely, it is the prince's good wife, but in fact it is just a concubine. The eldest lady of the Chu family, who was once so glorious, has now become a concubine for others. The old concubine sighs.

"This matter is as the Queen said."

The queen kept her lips curled up, but her face was not revealed, "I don't know what the emperor is thinking about this matter. I'll ask the concubine to help me with a few nice words."

In fact, this matter has basically been decided, but he is just a good wife. Emperor Qi is not good because of this old concubine.

"Yuzhu is also the emperor's niece. For the sake of the old prime minister, the emperor will definitely agree." What's more, there is this relationship.

After Emperor Qi found out, he was helpless. The old concubine agreed in front of all the ladies. As half of her biological mother, Emperor Qi could not make her shameless.

However, when it comes to the selection of the Crown Princess, Emperor Qi firmly pointed out the daughter of a fifth-rank idle official to the crown prince.

The queen was naturally dissatisfied, but her main purpose had been achieved, so she did not engage in more trouble on this matter.

The prince's wedding was scheduled for December, and Chu Yuzhu, in late February, was carried into the East Palace by a pink sedan on a certain auspicious day after Wei Jiu won the first place in the exam.

——

Starting from the days before New Year's Eve, the city of Qichu has been clearing up, and after the Lantern Festival, the weather is even more unnatural.

According to the past Qi Chu weather, the temperature in February had not yet entered the spring, and they were all wearing heavy winter clothes.

But this year, in addition to the feeling of winter in the morning and evening, it seems that early summer is already in noon.

Ye Miao was afraid that Baoer would be hot, so he took off his cotton coat and put on his early spring clothes.

With less clothes and lighter body, Baoer was impatient to be hugged and ran around in the yard like a joyful life.

He sweated in a short while and ran to ask Ye Miao to wipe his sweat.

"Be careful not to catch a cold." Ye Miao wiped his sweat, kissed his forehead, patted his little butt, signaling him to continue playing.

Baoer giggled and ran away.

"Miss, Master Hu Zhi is here."

"Please wait in the flower hall."

After Ye Miao came back, the etiquette class in the palace was cancelled, and Taifu Cui's lecture was still normal.

But it was still the same as before, just a half-day trip.

It looks so leisurely, but it is actually much busier than before.

In addition to Su Yu and a few others who ran here when they had a fake, asking her to give advice on martial arts formations, there were also some formation masters or military advisors in the army who came to ask her for advice from time to time.

The last time the battle against the Western Barbarians in Guanyang Town was spread, Ye Miao's status in the minds of the soldiers immediately improved a lot, and in the eyes of the formation masters or military advisors in the army, he was even more like a god.

In the past, Ruyi Hou and the current Duke of Su Guotai, they would come to ask Ye Miao about the formation and military strategy when they had time.

After Ye Miao met Master Hu Zhen, Cheng Shuo also came out of the study.

The peace talks have been just a formality, but he hasn't returned to Wu Kingdom for a long time, so there are still many things he has to deal with in Wu Kingdom.

Especially in the Western Barbarians, it is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend the country. The soldiers of the Wu Kingdom occupied the Western Barbarian royal court. It is very difficult to make the people of the Western Barbarians submit and completely take the Western Barbarians into their own hands.

"Are you tired?" Ye Miao said to him: "I'll help you pinch it."

The beauty took the initiative to show her kindness, but Cheng Shuo would not refuse.

Leaning on the couch in the west window, Ye Miao let her pinch her shoulders and massage her back.

After enjoying for a while, Cheng Shuo decided to repay his favor, "I see you are quite tired recently, why don't you lie down and I'll squeeze you too."

Ye Miao agreed and lay comfortably on the couch, enjoying Cheng Shuo's service.

His hands were strong and his strength was properly controlled. Ye Miao closed his eyes and made a sound so comfortable.

The big hand placed on his shoulder paused, then slid down unhonestly.

"Meow, don't seduce me." Cheng Shuo bent down, his voice hoarse.

Ye Miao patted his hand open and spat, and the sun shone warmly through the west window.

"This weather seems a bit abnormal." Ye Miao squinted his eyes and looked at it, "I always feel something is going to happen."

"I have sent someone to pay attention to the movements in various places at any time." Cheng Shuo said.

Man-made disasters can be avoided, but natural disasters can be avoided.
