Of course, Chu Yunqing still didn't dare to continue to show off to Ai Xiaozhou and joke with her.

Because he is afraid that due to the other party's female power, he may have to chop himself with a knife later.

And looking at the way Ai Xiaozhou is gritting his teeth now, this kind of scene may be more than just a thought.

Therefore, Chu Yunqing quickly told what Gu Meishu told him about the matter between Chu Huanyu and the Crown Princess. As for Gu Meishu who had promised before, he said that he would not tell others about the matter. Then Ai Xiaozhou

You don't think it's anyone else, right?

After hearing this, Ai Xiaozhou was really shocked for a moment.

Chu Huanyu actually likes the Crown Princess?

And the two of them are still in love?

As for the authenticity of this matter, Ai Xiaozhou thought more than Chu Yunqing.

For example, how did Chu Huanyu get the invitation? It was probably given by Su Yunwan, so the relationship between the two people might be really ambiguous.

However, this is really surprising news. If it spreads, it will probably shake the entire capital, enough to make people chat for a long time after dinner.

Ai Xiaozhou looked at Chu Yunqing and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't expect that your brother is really capable."

Chu Yunqing said helplessly: "I just found out about what happened between the two of them. I still find it a bit unbelievable when I think about it."

"This shows that Chu Huanyu is very resourceful." Ai Xiaozhou said and asked: "Then our leader Chu, would you like to help your brother?"

"What?" Chu Yunqing was a little confused.

"The two people who are in love are still obstructed by the prince and secular etiquette. Whenever they get together in private, they are always worried that someone will find out. If this happens, the prince's reputation will be completely ruined, and the Imperial College's

Chu Huanyu also wants to be ruined. With such resistance, don't you, as the elder brother, think of ways to help your younger brother?"

Ai Xiaozhou spoke emotionally and tactfully, his bright eyes were full of smiles, and the expression on his face was very artificial.

Chu Yunqing looked disgusted.

"What's your expression?" Ai Xiaozhou said in a bad tone.

Chu Yunqing said: "Your pretentiousness is really intolerable."

"Why can't you stand it?" Ai Xiaozhou said sweetly, giving him a wink.

Chu Yunqing shivered all over and quickly lowered his head to eat the food.

Ai Xiaozhou snorted softly, folded his arms and said: "Gu Meishu is the Crown Princess's close friend. Since she said that Chu Huanyu and Su Yunwan are in love, she probably didn't run away. I advise you to do it early."

Be prepared."

"What preparations?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Ai Xiaozhou sneered and said: "The matter is exposed, and we are going to be hunted down."

Chu Yunqing was startled, "Is it that serious?"

"It's about the prince's dignity, what do you think?" Ai Xiaozhou said: "I think Gu Meishu is telling you this tonight because she wants to give you a warning. I also know something about Su Yunwan. She has been frail and sick since she was a child.

But she is stubborn and will never change what she is sure about. Gu Meishu doesn’t know what to say to her, so she wants you and Chu Huanyu to open the door."

When Chu Yunqing heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it possible that you want me to be a villain and come to beat the mandarin ducks?"

"That's better than losing your reputation and losing your life in the end, right?" Ai Xiaozhou said: "Besides, Su Yunwan is from a famous family, and his father Su Zai was the chief minister, how can he endure such a prestigious situation?

Something that humiliates the family?"

Chu Yunqing thought for a while and said: "Actually, Huanyu also told me a way to enter the palace. He asked me to wait for the news. Then I will see if I have a chance to mention this matter to him."

"He wants to use his connections to help you?" Ai Xiaozhou asked.

Chu Yunqing shook his head, "It's the Fang family who passed Concubine Yao's porcelain appraisal meeting."

Ai Xiaozhou is a Jin Yiwei, so of course he has heard about this. When he heard it now, he also said "Ah".

"Yes, why didn't I expect that? The Fang family will come out on top every year and can enter the palace. You saved Fang Lingyu, so of course you can sneak in."

Ai Xiaozhou clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that my brother still has some brains."

However, she immediately became confused, "He suddenly mentioned the Fang family. Could it be that he already knew that you had saved Fang Lingyu?"

Chu Yunqing shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say."

"Having a way to enter the palace can be regarded as solving your problem." Ai Xiaozhou said.

Chu Yunqing nodded, "I just hope that the joy will not be in vain again."

Ai Xiaozhou smiled, "No."

…

The winter days seemed to pass by so slowly because of the waiting.

Chu Yunqing has been practicing at home these days. In addition to controlling the thunder transformation and golden light shield, he is also familiar with the method of sword erosion. He has not relaxed about the tribulation thunder dormant in the sea of ​​qi in the Dantian in his body.

Dealing with Jie Lei always requires trial and error. A slight mistake will cause a backlash. He has been using the method of controlling Qi and thunder to carefully extract Jie Lei, and then feed back Qi and blood to strengthen his body.

And the effect of this is also significant. Although it is not like the small assistant who can increase his true energy or blood in a few months or years, the strengthening of the foundation can also be seen.

After all, this is a calamity thunder. If you use it properly, it will be much more beneficial to you than those magical elixirs.

The days are passing day by day, and soon it is the end of the month and the end of the year, and it is time to celebrate the New Year.

The annual porcelain appraisal meeting in the capital came to an end, and as expected, the Fang family from the capital came out on top again, and then two families from other prefectures and counties also won the honor of being able to offer porcelain to the palace.

Of course, Chu Yunqing was neither a member of the industry nor had any status, so he did not receive an invitation to attend. Of course, he was not able to attend this grand event in the literary and entertainment industry.

But the next day, Chu Huanyu sent someone to ask Chu Yunqing to meet.

On the stone bridge in the capital, the water in the small river was frozen, and on the bluestone slabs by the river, there were people digging into the ice to get water and catch fish.

Chu Huanyu was still wearing the scholar's Confucian shirt from the Imperial College, exuding an elegance and bookish air that made people very close to her.

He stood by the railing, looking at the people who were struggling to cut the ice, and said: "It is difficult for the people to get water in winter. If the government comes to help, or there are martial arts practitioners and alchemists, it will be easier, or even unnecessary.

Get water."

Chu Yunqing was dressed in a green robe, looking smart and smart. Standing with his arms folded, he looked like a wealthy man from the world.

"Life is like this. Everyone has difficulties and hardships. The people in the capital just fetch water, but at the feet of the emperor, there is always enough to eat." He said.

Chu Huanyu glanced at him, "Are there still people who don't have enough to eat?"

Chu Yunqing thought of the time when he was in Taiyuan Prefecture. During droughts or floods, there were always refugees in the prefectures and counties. Even in normal times, he often heard from his brothers how the people in various places were doing.

The people in these gangs are okay, they have a large number of people, they have territory, and they have business. They are always greedy for how much money they buy and sell, but they don't worry about their livelihood.

But those common people are different. They rely on the sky for their livelihood. In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. Sometimes the whole family suffers due to the displeasure of the powerful or the words of someone in the government.

Today is indeed a peaceful and prosperous age, and the people are not living in dire straits. However, there are always miserable people and injustice in the world, and there seem to be more such scenes.

"Sometimes the hardship you can see is not all misfortune." Chu Yunqing said softly: "The hardships you see may be ordinary for some people, and even this kind of life is what they long for.

Not coming."

After hearing this, Chu Huanyu couldn't help clenching her hands in her sleeves.

…

"Well, we can't care too much about other people's affairs, so we should take care of ourselves." Chu Yunqing said.

Chu Huanyu frowned slightly when he heard this, "In this regard, brother is different from before."

Chu Yunqing looked confused, "Why is it different?"

"In the past, you cared about your family, country and the world, and how the people were doing. I remember when my father was still alive, you once said that you would be an official in the future, be a high official, make decisions for the people, and make changes."

Chu Huanyu said: "But now, you seem to have forgotten."

Chu Yunqing was silent for a moment and then said: "I worked as an undercover agent for the government, but in the end I was almost killed, or almost killed by one of my own people. Who would it be that I wouldn't be so disheartened?"

"But this does not conflict with the previous ambition." Chu Huanyu said: "What you want is to change for the people, not for just one person. The government is the government and the people are the people. This is not the same."

Chu Yunqing said: "If you can't even take care of yourself, how can you help the people of Li? Besides, with the court on top, some things can't be changed just by personal wishes."

Chu Huanyu shook his head, "I always believe that even the power of one person is enough to shake things that seem indestructible. When your power shines, there will be like-minded people working with you, hand in hand."

When Chu Yunqing heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, "Huanyu, tell me the truth, in the past few years you have been in the capital, in the end..."

"I just have some friends." Chu Huanyu said: "Some friends who have the same dream and want to do something for the people of Li."

Chu Yunqing saw the enthusiasm on his face and the determination in his eyes.

On the one hand, he was happy that his younger brother had a like-minded friend, but on the other hand, he was also worried because of the other party's disrespectful words.

The Red Flame Sect, which took the lead in the rebellion at that time, also used the banner of asking for life for the people at the beginning, coerced the masses to gain momentum, and finally set off a great change.

At this time, although Chu Huanyu did not say that he wanted to rebel, in Chu Yunqing's heart, he began to vaguely speculate in a bad direction.

"Huanyu, don't do anything stupid." Chu Yunqing said in a deep voice.

Chu Huanyu did not refute this, but just smiled at him, "Brother, where did you think of this? How could I do something stupid?"

Chu Yunqing looked at him and remained silent.

If you don't think about the same thing as me, how do you know what I think about?
