A group of people walked into the courtyard.
The servants prepared all the food. Most of the delicacies on the table were the children's favorite dishes, and a few were prepared by Chu Yi.
After the children sat down, Yunchu saw that the man in front of him sat down carefully.
"Hold on."
She spoke and stopped Chu Yi from sitting down.
She stood up, took a soft cushion from the soft couch next to her, and placed it on Chu Yi's chair, "Your Majesty, sit down."
Chu Yi said with a straight face: "Thank you very much."
It's true that there's nothing visible on the face, but on the inside, it's more or less embarrassing.
At the same time, there is also some secret joy.
She was paying attention to him.
So, she could see his inconvenience.
This knowledge made the corners of his lips curl up, and his whole body seemed to be coated with a soft light.
The meal ended quickly.
The two little guys were thinking about the cats and dogs, holding hands to feed the little animals.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi were the only two people left in the restaurant.
The servants removed the plates in an orderly manner and served tea and snacks for the two of them.
The program looked at Tingxue who was standing behind Yunchu, coughed and said, "Sister Tingxue, Aunt Zheng has something to tell you about my little master."
Tingxue frowned, walked out of the flower hall, lowered her head and said, "Master Cheng should be older than this slave. I cannot be worthy of being called sister Tingxue."
"It's just a title, don't worry about it." The program scratched his head, "I am the prince's subordinate, and you are Xie Fu... Miss Yun's side. We both have the same status. Sister Tingxue doesn't have to call me a slave in front of me. .”
Tingxue thought to herself, could this be the same?
The prince's subordinate is a high-ranking official, and she is a sold slave. There is a huge difference in status.
She said: "Master Cheng, what does Aunt Zheng have to explain?"
"It's nothing wrong..."
The program looked back at the flower hall.
He just suddenly felt that it was a bit unnecessary for him and Tingxue to stay there.
When only the prince and Miss Yun were left there, the scenery became beautiful.
Their prince's work was really hard work. Without him, I don't know when the palace would have a mistress.
He truly deserves to be the first bodyguard beside the prince.
The flower hall fell silent.
Yun Chu took a sip of tea, lowered his eyelids and said, "The matter of the Yun family army has caused trouble for the prince."
"No trouble." Chu Yi said, "The people who are trying to suppress the Yun family in the court are the former prince, who is also the biological son of the current Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is making moves in the dark. In order to curb the power of the Queen Mother, my father will not let Yun If something happens to your family, you...don't have to worry too much."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your comfort." Yun Chu raised his head, "I want to ask Your Majesty, the Yun family is in such a situation now. My father's whereabouts are unknown, he has been accused by the court, and his military power has been withdrawn... Why did Your Majesty still allow the two children to be with him? Am I so close?"
"It has nothing to do with the Yun family." Chu Yi's dark eyes reflected her face, "Because it's you."
Yun Chu's heart skipped a beat.
The hard outer wall of her forged heart seemed to have been touched by something.
"Perhaps you have forgotten the day we first met." Chu Yi's eyes became distant, "The Yun family holds a spring banquet every year. When I was eleven years old, I went to the Yun family's banquet. It was not an invitation from the Yun family, but , that morning, I saw the darkest thing in the palace, and I couldn’t wait to escape from that cage..."
He saw with his own eyes that the Queen Mother killed ten maids, took their blood, and fed it to the only bloodline left by the former Crown Prince and the Queen Mother's only direct grandson, Prince Zhuang Chu Rui.
The painstaking efforts of ten palace maids could not make Chu Rui's illness better, so the Queen Mother sent people to continue looking for a woman with suitable horoscopes to make a medicine introduction.
He found it difficult to accept such a scene and immediately reported it to his father.
The father remained calm and even ordered Eunuch Gao to help find a suitable girl to send to the Queen Mother's palace.
Those flower-like women, so young that they could even be called girls, were caught off guard and killed with a knife, and they became the ghosts of injustice.
I don’t know how many women died before the Queen Mother’s only grandson, Prince Zhuang, lived to be in his twenties...
At the age of eleven, he couldn't accept such a thing.
Now that I am twenty-five years old, when I think about it again, my heart has calmed down.
"That day, I escaped from the palace and met your father. Your father took me to the Yun family to attend the spring banquet." Chu Yi said slowly, "I closed my eyes and rested in a secluded courtyard of the Yun family. , suddenly, a girl wearing a goose-yellow dress appeared in front of me, with a dirty dog in her arms."
Yun Chu's memory was suddenly awakened.
She laughed: "I fished that dog out of the mud puddle. I wanted to keep it by my side, but my mother refused. She went around looking for me with a cane. If I hadn't been afraid of surprising the guests in the front yard, I would definitely have done it that day. A beating is inevitable."
She must have been only six or seven years old at that time. She was jumping up and down every day, going to the house to lift tiles, and her mother was so angry that she was fuming every day.
It’s not that her mother didn’t let her keep a dog, but the dog looked sick, not to mention dirty, one eye was blind, its hair had fallen out a lot, and there were many abscesses on its body, and her mother was worried that she would be infected. She has a bad disease, so she is strongly opposed to keeping this dog.
She was young at that time, so she didn't care about such things. She hugged the dog without letting go, hiding around in the yard, and it seemed that she had indeed met someone.
But I don’t remember very clearly.
That scene has always been deeply etched in Chu Yi's mind.
The moment Yun Chu appeared in front of him, he was thinking, how could there be such an elf-like girl in this world.
The moment Mrs. Yun whipped the person with the cane, she fiercely protected the dog in her arms.
He was thinking how pure and kind she was.
Some people can brutally kill dozens or hundreds of innocent flower-like palace maids.
There are also people who would rather be beaten in order to protect a dog that is obviously dying.
But he didn't have the ability to stand up and stop the Queen Mother from doing evil, nor did he have the ability to argue with his father about right and wrong.
It was also from that moment that he made a decision.
He wants to be a person who can protect all people and protect every ordinary person who is struggling and struggling to survive at the bottom.
He chose to follow General Yun.
However, he had only been on the battlefield for five years. The queen became suspicious, and his father, in order to weigh in, forbade him from going to the frontier again.
He could only lead eight thousand elite soldiers to kill all the Jin bandits.
Chu Yi retracted his thoughts and asked, "I wonder if Mrs. Yun allowed you to keep that dog later?"
The smile on Yun Chu's face disappeared and he sighed: "My mother has a hard mouth and a soft heart. Seeing that I persisted, she naturally allowed me to keep it. However, the dog was seriously ill and could not be cured. She would not be able to stay at Yun's house for long. One month, he’ll be dead…”
Chu Yi pursed his lips.
The dog was lucky enough to meet Yun Chu. Unfortunately, he met Yun Chu a little late. If he had met him earlier, his illness should have been cured.
Yunchu looked up at the man in front of him.
At this moment, she felt a little emotional. Would King Pingxi, who was so angry at everyone, also lament the fate of a dog?
He seemed to have compassion for a dog.
A person who even cares about dogs cannot be a heinous person, nor can he be as despicable and shameless as Qin Mingheng said.
She pursed her lips and said slowly: "Your Majesty, can you tell me about the young prince, the princess, and their biological mother?"
