First, he summoned Qi Jin, and then met with Uncle Xie Xiaoguo and the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Xie Xiaoguo was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Today, he actually asked Ji Ziyi if he wanted to marry the royal family.
Emperor Mu's behavior was indeed abnormal.
"Rong Cang." Chu Yunfei raised her eyes to look at Rong Cang, and an incredible guess popped up in her mind, "Do you think it's possible... is it possible that my father is paving the way for you?"
Rong Cang frowned slightly and remained silent.
"But it may be that King Chen has been too public recently, and my father wants to use this to suppress his arrogance." Chu Yunfei quickly suppressed her thoughts, "We can wait and see what happens in the past few days, and wait until you recover. .”
Rong Cang hummed, his face calm.
"Princess." Auntie Xiong came in and reported respectfully, "Steward Cheng sent word that someone came to Chu Shilang's house just now to report that Aunt Chen is seriously ill and misses her daughter very much recently. The Shilang wants the concubine to go back and serve her for a few days. , to relieve Aunt Chen’s pain of missing her daughter.”
Chu Yun raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aunt Chen is seriously ill?"
Mother Xiong nodded: "That's what the people from the Shilang's Mansion said."
"Concubine has been feeling unwell lately and can't go today." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, "If you ask Butler Cheng to go back to them, just say she will go back in two days."
"Yes." Grandma Xiong took the order and left.
Chu Yunfei smiled lightly: "Aunt Chen's illness came at the right time."
"It's just to give Chu Yunjiao a chance to go home." Rong Cang obviously knew whose idea it was. "King Chen thought that Chu Yunjiao could contact him at any time after entering the Zhanwang Palace, but he found that he wanted to see Chu Yunjiao. It’s difficult, I can only find a way to take her out to see her.”
"Prince Chen is probably anxious." Chu Yunfei sneered, stood up and poured a cup of tea, "Rong Jinyue earned a good reputation for her mother and concubine this time, and even Princess Chen was deprived of the right to visit the palace to pay her respects. After all, we should be grateful for her stupidity."
Walking back to the edge of the bed, she handed the tea into Rong Cang's hand, indicating to him to have a good rest, then turned and walked out.
Nanny Lu, who had been working in the front yard these days, came in a hurry and bowed to Chu Yunfei: "Princess, Mrs. Dou came to see you with something, saying she came to apologize to the prince and princess."
Mrs. Dou?
Chu Yun's red eyes flashed with deep thought, and he said calmly: "Take her to the front hall to serve tea."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei stood alone in front of the door, looked at the sky, and then walked out. When she entered the front hall, she saw several maids brought by Mrs. Dou holding large and small plates in their hands. They were full of sincerity at first glance.
"My wife, see you, Princess Zhan. May the princess be safe." Madam Dou saluted respectfully and kept her posture very low. "Today's visit was too abrupt. I wanted to apologize to my little daughter. My daughter Huiran was shopping with the fifth princess before and accidentally offended her. I have taken care of the princess, and I also beg the princess to forgive her for her ignorance, and I will definitely teach her well in the future and never let this happen again."
"Mrs. Dou, please sit down." Chu Yunfei's tone was gentle, without any sharpness, "Madam, you are serious. It was just a coincidence that Miss Dou went shopping with the fifth princess. She may have made some rude remarks, but I didn't take it to heart, not to mention that she is now the queen. I have learned some lessons from the rules in the palace, I will not argue with her, please rest assured, Mrs. Dou."
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Princess Dou." Madam Dou seemed to be relieved, with a more restrained smile on her face, "Hui Ran is not sensible, but he has no bad intentions. In the future, I hope that Princess Dou will be more kind to her when she enters Prince Zhan's Mansion." Tips——”
"Wait a minute." Chu Yunfei frowned, "What did madam say?"
Mrs. Dou looked at Chu Yunfei blankly.
"Marry into Prince Zhan's Mansion?" Chu Yunfei stared at her, "Did I hear wrongly, or did Mrs. Dou say something wrong?"
Could it be that Rong Cang hooked up with another one behind her back?
Mrs. Dou's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and hesitated: "My wife... My wife..."
Chu Yunfei said, "Mrs. Dou, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"The emperor has this intention." Mrs. Dou stood up, a little embarrassed, "but my master has not given a clear reply yet."
But since the emperor has this intention, can they refuse?
Chu Yunfei's heart sank slightly. Does the emperor have any intention of getting married?
Why?
Dou Shangshu was helping King Chen overtly and secretly, but the emperor wanted to give his daughter to Rong Cang as a concubine?
Chu Yunfei calmed down, raised his eyes and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
Mrs. Dou said: "Only my wife and the master know."
"For the sake of Miss Dou's reputation, I advise Madam not to publicize this matter for the time being." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, "I need to ask the prince first."
Mrs. Dou's expression changed several times, and she probably saw that Chu Yunfei was not happy. After thinking about it, she still said: "Don't you understand the emperor's intention, princess? Sooner or later, the war king will marry his concubine, even if it is not Huiran, then... It will be another woman..."
"Mrs. Dou is right." Chu Yunfei nodded, "But before the matter is settled, the reputation of my daughter's family should be the most important thing."
Madam Dou nodded: "Thank you, Princess, for the suggestion. I understand."
"Today I went to the palace with the prince to meet the queen. I heard from the queen that they all learned the rules very well." Chu Yunfei said calmly, "In a few days, when the emperor's anger has subsided, I will try to go to the queen. Please beg me to see if I can let Miss Dou go back."
Mrs. Dou bowed: "Thank you, Princess. Huiran should stay in the Queen's Palace for a few days to learn the rules. She is too ignorant. This is a good opportunity for her."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said nothing more.
Mrs. Dou quickly excused herself.
"Mrs. Dou, please take all these things back." Chu Yunfei said, "No reward for no merit."
"princess--"
"If Miss Dou really has a chance to marry into Prince Zhan's palace, I can prepare a dowry for her." Chu Yunfei smiled lightly, "Of course, even if she marries someone else, she should have a dowry."
Mrs. Dou thought about the meaning of Chu Yunfei's words, and felt that she did not want Huiran to marry her, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Although I did hear a few days ago that the War King and his wife had a good relationship, and it was a misunderstanding to divorce his wife, but no matter how good the relationship was, the War King always wanted to have a concubine.
And...and...
Mrs. Dou thought of the pillow talk her master had said to her at night, and wondered in her heart, could it be that the War King and the Princess still didn't know the Emperor's intentions?
If King Zhan marries the daughter of their Dou family, it will be even more powerful for both King Chen and King Zhan... The only thing they can't figure out is why the emperor doesn't just give Hui Ran to King Chen as his concubine?
