Chen Linxue collapsed on the ground, almost unable to get up.
Chu Yunfei glanced at her casually and said in a calm voice: "You know what you should do in the future. Yaorao, the two maids around Miss Linxue are injured. You have to work harder during this period. The maids around you will take care of you. Stay tuned, and pay attention to their injuries, don't let anyone die in the East Palace."
"yes."
"Let's all go back." Chu Yunfei turned to the inner hall and sat down in front of the couch. "Just do it once every three days in the morning and dusk. I am tired and don't want to deal with too many messy things. I hope you won't give me any more." Create trouble, otherwise there will be no chance of escaping from death like today."
Chen Jinyi is obviously smarter than her sister Chen Linxue. From today's battle, she has already seen that the emperor and the queen are on the side of the prince, and the queen mother seems to be fighting alone - even though she is the emperor's biological mother, the emperor also She didn't like the Queen Mother's interference in the Prince's marriage, especially when she forced the Chen sisters into the palace.
The prince's defense of Chu Yunfei was not a disguise, and his ruthlessness towards others was not a bluff.
So there is no point in them continuing to stay here except wasting time and prolonging their years.
Chen Jinyi wanted to stay away from the East Palace, but the Queen Mother would not agree.
"My daughter, please retire." Chen Jinyi helped her sister up and bowed, "My daughter will remember today's lesson and the same thing will never happen again in the future."
Chu Yunfei said nothing.
The Chen family sister left quickly, and the Gu family sisters also bowed and left. The hall suddenly became quiet.
Rong Cang stood outside the palace and called the chief chamberlain of the East Palace over: "Go down and arrange several chamberlains in Changding Palace and Changqiu Palace. If the Crown Princess is not summoned, the Chen family sisters are not allowed to disturb the Crown Princess without permission."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Rong Cang turned back to the palace and sat down next to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei looked at him with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is intimidating and full of courage. Although the Queen Mother is very angry this time, she is also wary in her heart. I think she will restrain her behavior in the future."
"I hope so." Rong Cang was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Chu Yunfei, "I went to Prince Rong's Mansion today and met Qin Zhilan outside the Prince's Mansion."
Chu Yunfei's smile faded slightly and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Could it be that she paid attention to your whereabouts in advance and deliberately chose to go to the palace at the same time as you?"
"Probably." Rong Cang nodded.
"Qin Zhilan is really willing to risk everything." Chu Yunfei raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Rong Cang, with a bit of emotion in her tone, "Prince Rong's Mansion is very happy today. There are so many guests coming and going, including officials and dignitaries of the dynasty. She is so His behavior will only make people suspect that there is something wrong with the Qin family's family tradition."
It also confirmed the rumors that had been spreading all over the past few days. They were so stupid that people couldn't help but wonder whether she had a grudge against her family, so she did such a reckless thing regardless of her family's reputation.
But these have nothing to do with Chu Yunfei.
Qin Zhilan was willing to confess her love in public because she had never given up on Rong Cang and was just risking her last chance.
She has been given a marriage to King Jin'an. If anything goes wrong again, the Qin family will be destroyed in her hands.
…
Returning to Shuhuang Palace, the queen leaned down on the phoenix couch and seemed to be in a good mood: "My son will not disappoint anyone."
"That's what the empress said." Aunt Cai brought the tea and bent down to put it in front of her. "His Royal Highness, the prince, has been leading the army for ten years. What's more, the prince is now the orthodox reserve. No matter how dissatisfied the queen mother is, she can't shake a country. The status of a prince."
The Queen took a sip of tea and said sarcastically: "The Queen Mother is already at the pinnacle of power that a woman in the world can achieve. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in the palace and enjoy her happiness? The Emperor will not disobey her, and I and the Prince will not disobey her. , Life should be as comfortable and comfortable as it is, but she insists on going through all kinds of troubles, as if she won’t give up until the end of her life. It’s really incomprehensible.”
Aunt Cai frowned: "The Queen Mother may want to make the Chen family more noble."
"Why do you need to be so noble? You don't even understand the principle that prosperity will inevitably lead to decline." The queen took a sip of tea, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I have fashion and worry that the Xie family is too powerful and will bring disaster. I wish they could restrain themselves. Some are sharp, but the Queen Mother wants to do the opposite."
Although the Chen family in Jingxi is not the head of aristocratic families, the wealth and glory they have accumulated is enough for two generations of descendants to have food and clothing. It is true that this generation is a little mediocre, but if they take the trouble to teach the next generation, the family's glory can be continued.
Moreover, although the Chen family does not have any particularly prominent talents, they can arrange for their relatives to serve as officials. A wealthy family has much more power than many officials in the court.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The heritage of a big family will not be completely ruined in three to five years. As long as no offense is committed, it will not be a problem for another thirty to fifty years.
But the Queen Mother is too greedy and ready to arrange people in the prince's backyard. This is a taboo for a prince. What she wants will only be counterproductive in the end.
Just like when Concubine Hui entered the palace.
The queen closed her eyes and took a sip of tea, thinking that when the queen mother brought Concubine Hui into the palace, she must have been hoping that she would sit in the back seat.
If Concubine Hui had not died at that time and successfully ascended to the position of queen, Concubine Hui's eldest son would be the legitimate eldest son of the royal family, so whether he was the legitimate eldest son or the eldest son, he would be the legitimate crown prince.
So today's Chen family...
It's a pity that Concubine Hui's beauty is so short-lived.
…
Because of Rong Cang's cold and harsh methods, the East Palace was calm in the next few days, the Queen Mother did not cause trouble again, and the Chen sisters also stayed on their own terms.
After Rong Huaishu's wedding, his face was visibly radiant. He went in and out of the East Palace to listen to the prince's discussions, and he could see that he was full of joy. He even got some ridicule from Qi Jin and the eighth prince.
However, Rong Huaishu has a typical scholar's character and is thin-skinned, so the jokes between Qi Jin and the Eighth Prince were only playful and did not dare to go too far.
After the tenth day of August, the East Palace received messages every once in a while, all about the itinerary of the Prince of Mobei.
At the same time, Gu Yilan also personally sent several pieces of information to the palace. He said that the men sent by Gu Chengye to the fiefdom of King Jin'an did not receive a definite reply from King Jin'an. Instead, Princess Jin'an received the marriage proposal from the Queen Mother to her husband. After hearing the news, he beat King Jin'an violently on the spot.
Hearing this sentence, several people present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows: "Princess Jin'an beat up King Jin'an?"
"Yes." Gu Yilan nodded, "Princess Jin'an has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Not only is her agility more flexible, her temper is also stronger than ordinary women. She made a rule on the day she got married to King Jin'an. King Jin'an is not allowed to have concubines or have intercourse with her. A concubine is not allowed to have an outside wife, otherwise she must look good."
"This woman is quite interesting." Ji Ziyi slowly looked at her cousin, "She is more powerful and domineering than the Crown Princess."
