Concubine Yin was very satisfied with Miss Fang.
There is nothing wrong with his family background and character.
Mr. Fang is the second-rank censor of the right capital of the Inspectorate. It is an official position that holds real power, but there is also the censor of the left capital above him, so he will not stand out too much.
Miss Fang is the youngest daughter of the Fang family, the pearl that Master Fang and Mrs. Fang have grown up in. Although she has been pampered since childhood, she is still well-educated and sensible, and her behavior cannot be faulted.
It is absolutely impossible for such a good woman to marry into the palace and become a stepmother.
However, she unexpectedly learned that Miss Fang was actually in love with Yi'er... Naturally, the marriage went smoothly.
"Yier, this Miss Fang is more suitable to be a princess than the previous Miss Tan." Yin Bin lowered her voice, "If you really get to that point one day, the Fang family will also be a big help to you..."
Chu Yi frowned, with a cold light in his dark eyes: "Did I tell my mother and concubine that I don't need my mother and concubine to interfere in my marriage?"
"I have to listen to what you said?" Concubine Yin's face also changed, and she said angrily, "You don't even look at how old you are. Which prince is as old as you and hasn't gotten married yet? You have two before you get married. My child, you have already made many people laugh, if you never marry a princess, do you know how people will talk about you?"
Chu Yi has heard these words too many times.
His father could say it, his mother and concubines could even say it, the Queen Mother, the eldest princess, the courtiers... almost everyone who could speak in front of him had said it.
After hearing it too much, I no longer care.
I originally thought about marrying a princess for the sake of my two children.
But the children rejected this thing from the bottom of their hearts, and he himself was not willing to do it.
That being the case, why bother?
If Yunchu lives a happy life, then he doesn't mind being alone for the rest of his life.
But these years, she has been in the Xie family...
Even if the entire royal family is opposed, even if he will become the target of public criticism, as long as she nods, he is willing to risk the disapproval of the world.
"If my mother-in-law insists on doing this, then I will have no choice but to resist and disrespect her."
Chu Yi turned around and left Changqiu Palace, ignoring the angry look on Concubine Yin's face.
As soon as I walked to the palace corridor, I met King Gongxi head-on.
As soon as he saw Chu Yi, King Gongxi's expression became a little gloomy, but it was soon replaced by gentleness.
He hurried up to meet Chu Yi, patted Chu Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I heard from Eunuch Gao, who is beside my father, that the third brother is about to marry the Fang family's daughter as the princess?"
Chu Yi's expression was calm: "Did the Second Emperor arrange for his spy to be in the imperial study?"
King Gongxi's smile froze: "Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang have gone to Changqiu Palace many times to pay their respects. This is something that everyone in the palace knows, so there is no need to arrange special spies."
"Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu often go to Concubine Hui's palace. Judging from this, the second emperor brother is going to marry Miss Yu as his concubine?" Chu Yi's eyes did not waver at all, but his words were called respectful. King Xi choked hard.
The Yu family is his maternal grandfather's family, so it's normal for him to go to the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. What does it have to do with marrying a concubine?
He suppressed his anger and said as gently as possible: "No matter what, I'm just waiting to drink my third brother's wedding banquet. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."
He left with his hands behind his back.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at Chu Yi.
A few days ago, Chu Yi invited more than a dozen important ministers to talk late at night. According to the whistle, the conversation was close to midnight.
The third brother has never been close to the court officials, and the Yin family is low-key and honest. Therefore, he has never regarded the third brother as a rival.
But now...
King Gongxi smiled, if the third brother insisted on entering the game, then he would be out temporarily.
Let's look at the third brother and the prince's brother, dog bites dog, whoever wins will be qualified to be Chu Mo's opponent.
Chu Yi's eagle eyes were like hooks.
Last time, he was still investigating the matter of Prince Anjing's rebellion and assassination, but when he found a certain point, the clues were broken. All the clues that were cut off were placed on his desk. He had suspected Prince Gongxi's palace, but the clues that were cut off were Clues cannot be used as evidence.
We reassigned people to continue the investigation, but to no avail.
If the person in the dark is really his second emperor brother Chu Mo, then there will probably be a bloody storm in the palace soon.
Chu Yi did not leave the palace directly, but went to the imperial study.
Fortunately, this time, there was no concubine in the royal study. After Gao Eunuch informed him, he was allowed to go in directly.
"You came just in time." The emperor was in a good mood and said with a smile, "I am about to ask someone to prepare the imperial edict for the marriage. The wedding is scheduled to be in three months. How about it?"
"Father, I have no intention of getting married for the time being." Chu Yi went straight to the point, "Father, please take back your order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor sneered and said: "After winter, you will be twenty-six. The longer you wait, the less aristocratic families are willing to marry their legitimate daughter to you. This Miss Fang is your best choice now. !”
Chu Yi raised his eyes and said word by word: "Getting married is a good relationship between two families. If one party is unwilling, it is a grudge. Father, please think twice."
"Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents and the matchmaker. What time do you not want it?" The emperor picked up the jade seal and covered it directly on the imperial edict. "This marriage must be done whether you want it or not!" "
Chu Yi's hawk-like eyes fell on the jade seal.
For the first time in his life, he felt the supremacy of imperial power.
He suppressed his emotions and said: "Master Fang dotes on his young daughter and is famous throughout the capital. Miss Fang has been wronged in the palace. The trouble Master Fang brings to his son is not a big deal. I am afraid that Master Fang will impeach him for unfounded matters." Father."
"Be bold!"
The emperor was furious, picked up the brush and hit Chu Yi in the face.
His son was a powerful bandit suppresser and an irritant, with no regard for his father's and imperial power.
Mr. Fang is the censor of Youdu. He supervises all officials from behind and impeaches the emperor from above.
The emperor did have some scruples in this regard.
He sneered: "If Mr. Fang is dissatisfied with this marriage, you will have more opportunities to come to me, and it will not be your turn to speak."
Chu Yi lowered his eyes.
In other words, if the father will care about Master Yi Fang's attitude, then this matter will be easier to handle.
He rode his horse back to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, the program came up to him and said, "The prince asked his subordinates to investigate the affairs of the He family before, and they finally found something."
Chu Yi turned over and dismounted: "Say."
The program glanced at the guards and soldiers standing at the door of the palace, and whispered: "It has something to do with Mrs. Xie."
Chu Yi immediately stepped into the palace, waited until he was in the study room, and then signaled the program to speak.
"He Xu, the only remaining legitimate son of the He family, recently exposed Xie Shian's identity at the entrance to the palace and disappeared in the chaos. After the prince's instructions, his subordinates arranged a team of soldiers to look for him. It took nearly half a month to find out. He Xu's body." The program raised his head, "My subordinates spent a lot of effort to find out that before He Xu died, he was with Butler Chen who was beside Mrs. Xie."
Chu Yi's eyebrows darkened.
Xie Jingyu's death was related to Yunchu.
Xie Shi'an's identity was revealed, and it was also related to Yun Chu.
He Xu's death was probably also caused by Yun Chu.
What on earth did the Xie family do to make Yun Chu, an originally pure and kind person, do such a thing against his true intentions?
The only thing he was sure of was that Yun Chu hated the Xie family.
Chu Yi said: "Go in person and wipe out all evidence."
The program shook his head and said: "Even if Dali Temple goes to investigate, the most they can find is Chen Defu. Even if Mrs. Xie is suspected, no evidence can be found."
Chu Yi's thin lips tightened into a straight line.
The first time we met was at the Yun family’s banquet.
The capital was full of flowers, and the spring scenery was just right. At the Yun family's spring banquet, he met the eldest daughter of the Yun family. At that time, she was only six years old and he was eleven.
In my memory, the six-year-old girl had a round face, a plump chin, big round eyes, and was wearing a goose-yellow dress, hiding among the blooming winter jasmine flowers.
When he was alone and distressed, she suddenly bumped into his field of vision.
He will always remember her clear eyes, her head full of grass clippings, the mud on her face, and the dog in her arms... The dog is dirty, and so is she...
The little girl who was ignorant of the world grew up over time and became so cautious.
Even if his people went to investigate, they couldn't find anything.
He was relieved.
Chu Yi picked up the brush and wrote a letter: "Send to Fang's family immediately."
