When Chu Xinyu and others walked away, the prince asked Xiao Jingxuan, "Fourth brother, is she the cousin Chu who defeated Miss Fu Er at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

Xiao Jingxuan corrected: "It's my cousin."

The prince smiled and said, "You are my younger brother, isn't your cousin my cousin?"

Xiao Jingxuan glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't you have a cousin?"

"But my cousins ​​are not as pleasing to yours." His cousins ​​are not as good as those of the fourth brother's cousins. Moreover, when she speaks, she smiles on her face, which makes people feel very fond of it. If you want to get close to her, no wonder the seventh brother came back from the Baihua Banquet, and the one he talks the most was Miss Chu Wu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan immediately raised his face and said, "Don't make any decisions on her."

The prince touched the nose and said, "Now that she was given marriage to Xuanhui by her father. What can I do to her? Why are you so nervous?"

Of course, Xiao Jingxuan knew that the prince would not attack Chu Xinyu, but if he paid attention to Chu Xinyu, it would bring disaster to her. The Crown Princess is not as simple as the surface, and some people should be guarded first.

After looking at the direction of Fengzao Palace, Xiao Jingxuan thought for a moment, then called a eunuch over and whispered a few words in his ear. The eunuch nodded and walked towards Fengzao Palace.

"Fourth brother..."

The prince was about to say something, but Xiao Jingxuan took the lead and said: "The father is waiting for us in the imperial study."

After saying that, he took the lead in walking forward.

Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu coming to Fengzao Palace. At the entrance of the palace, a kind-hearted aunt stood beside him. When he saw Chu Xinyu coming, he immediately came up and said with a smile: “Miss Chu Wu, you are finally here.”

My father-in-law said: "Aunt Lan, if you bring me someone, you will have nothing to do with us."

"Thank you, Eunuch Fu." As she said that, Aunt Lan stuffed a purse for him. Mr. Fu took it openly, then bowed and retreated, then turned around and headed towards the way he came.

Aunt Lan smiled at Chu Xinyu and said, "Let's go, your aunt is waiting in the hall."

Chu Xinyu nodded and followed, and Zhu Bo immediately lowered his head and followed.

After entering, Chu Xinyu saw that the layout in the hall did not show luxury but showed nobility everywhere. The furniture was all high-quality yellow rosewood, simple and classic, and the arrangement was also good. In addition to the decoration of the veil, it looked extremely elegant.

In the main hall, the purple bamboo screens of Twelve Women's Secretariat's Instructions were wide open, and six palace maids welcomed them in. A woman in the palace outfit of a smoked green flowing colorful dark flowers and cloud brocade was helped out by the Tokijima.

Chu Xinyu looked in the voice. The woman looked like she was in her early thirties, with her head and eyebrows, her neck like a squid, her teeth like a gourd, and her skin like a cream. Two red gold-inlaid red jade-embedded phoenix hairpins were inserted on her hair bun. Apart from this, there was no jewelry decoration.

"Xinyu greets her aunt!" Chu Xinyu bowed her shoulders, and the rules were just right without any panic and confusion. Her mother once invited the nanny who left the palace to teach her in terms of etiquette, and she has always done a good job.

Concubine Kang said softly: "Hurry up."

When Chu Xinyu saw a hand stretching out from his side, he became stubborn.

"Raise your head and let your aunt see it." Concubine Kang said lovingly.

Chu Xinyu looked up as she said, looking into a pair of clear and smiling apricot eyes. Somehow, her eyes suddenly felt sour and water overflowed into her eyes. "Auntie, Yu'er misses you!" She opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that this sentence would come out.

It's so sad, this should be what Yu'er wants to say.

So he simply threw himself into her arms and hugged her tightly with his hands, "Auntie, Yu'er misses you so much, really miss you!"

Concubine Kang didn't expect Chu Xinyu to be so excited when she saw her, and she was stunned. Aunt Lan and the palace maid next to her were also shocked by her sudden movement. Aunt Lan was about to come up and pull Chu Xinyu away, and Concubine Kang shook her head lightly.

Concubine Kang gently patted her forefather and said, "Auntie misses you too. I didn't expect that my Yu'er has grown so beautiful after not seeing you for two years." As she said that, she slightly opened a little distance. Looking at Chu Xinyu's little face, she couldn't help but think of her former appearance, "I'm thin, but I look very similar to your mother, she looks the same."

When she first saw her, she almost thought that the one standing in front of her was her younger sister Mei Ruochu, but her temperament was different. Her younger sister was gentle and graceful, but she was beautiful and bright.

She saw the words she wrote at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. It was shown to her by the Princess Chu. The words she wrote were the shadow of her father. If her father was there, she would definitely be very happy that there would be someone in his successor.

Chu Xinyu smiled sweetly and said, "Really? I have never seen my mother before, but they all say that I look like her. Then, if I look at my face in front of the bronze mirror, can't I see my mother?"

"You!" Concubine Kang lightly tapped her forehead, and then both of them laughed.

Afterwards, the two sat on the Luohan couch. Aunt Lan asked the palace maid to put Chu Xinyu's favorite fruits and pastries. Concubine Kang kept holding Chu Xinyu's hand and didn't put it. After asking her about her recent situation, Chu Xinyu answered one by one.

The two of them talked about some homely conversations before Concubine Kang turned to the day's Baihua Banquet. She said, "Ziheng has told me about Baihua Banquet. Aunt is really relieved. You are the pride of our Mei family. If your grandfather is still there, he will definitely be very happy."

Ziheng is Xiao Jingxuan's face.

Chu Xinyu said modestly: "That was what Yuer Puling Temple passed the time to learn when she was bored. If you want to compare it with my grandfather's calligraphy and painting, you will have to practice for more than ten years. However, if my aunt likes it, I will bring the props another day and draw a picture for you?"

"Okay, now you are back, so you can go to the palace more often to accompany your aunt in the future."

Chu Xinyu nodded, remembered something, suddenly changed the topic and said, "Auntie, are you feeling uncomfortable? That day, I heard from Princess Chu say you were sick?"

If she read it correctly, when she came in just now, she saw that Concubine Kang was supported by two palace maids and came out of Dongjiji.

Concubine Kang said: "Yes, maybe I slept less at night and I would occasionally have headaches, but it was just a minor problem. It would be fine in a few days."

Chu Xinyu saw that she was not in good looks, maybe because of her discomfort. She was not a doctor. At most, she had read a few medical books and understood some things on the epidermis. She said: "Exercise can not only improve health, but also strengthen physical fitness. When I was in Puling Temple, there was a master who was almost seventy years old, but she looked like she was about forty years old, and she was full of red and bright face. I heard that she often meditated and practiced Tai Chi. I learned it from her. Otherwise, I would teach you how to practice Tai Chi too."

"Do you still know how to practice Tai Chi?" Concubine Kang was surprised. When she was a girl, she met a master. She was ninety years old, but her hands and feet were very neat, and her voice was like a bull. She could not tell at all that she was useless. She also looked very special. He said that he often practiced Tai Chi. At that time, she wanted to learn it and teach her father again, but she did not get what she wanted later.

Chu Xinyu didn't like to see the pale face of Concubine Kang. She thought that her aunt's body would be healthy. This was Yu'er's wish. She couldn't help with anything else, but exercising was also a way. So she pulled Concubine Kang and taught her how to learn Tai Chi step by step. This set of Tai Chi was learned from a master in the 21st century. After traveling through time, she never abandoned it.

After two years in Puling Temple, she often practiced in the morning and alternated with sword dancing early and evening. However, after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she had many things to do, but she rarely fought.

Concubine Kang followed and demonstrated it to Chu Xinyu again, and asked her to correct it. After practicing twice, she felt a little hot and sweating. She felt a little looser and she smiled and said, "I sweat so much that I practiced, it's very comfortable!"

"If a person is very damp, he will appear listless and occasionally have a headache, but as long as he sweats, the moisture will be discharged from his body with the sweat, it will naturally be relaxed. Aunt will practice once every morning in the future, which is very good for the body! Yu'er hopes that his aunt will be healthy and live a long life!" Chu Xinyu clapped his hands, looking happy.

Concubine Kang also felt that she was good at training, so she agreed, not to mention that this was Yu'er's request. She was smart and sensible, which made her reluctant to let her go and wanted her to spend more time with her. Being with her seemed to go back to a long time ago, when she had not married into the royal family, and her little sister was playing in the garden with her.

At this time, Aunt Lan came over and said, "Empress, I've served lunch. I heard that Miss Yu likes to eat snow frozen almond tofu. I have someone specially cooked almond tofu. You have not had an appetite these two days, so let's try some light ones."

"Okay, let's go for lunch and chat slowly."

Chu Xinyu's taste is different now than before, but this almond tofu is well made, no wonder Yu'er likes it, and even she fell in love with it.

Because Concubine Kang had Chu Xinyu with her, she ate half a bowl of this meal more than usual. Aunt Lan was very pleased when she saw it. As expected, Miss Yu's dose of "spiritual medicine" was wonderful.

After dinner, after serving dessert, Concubine Kang looked up at her and asked, "The emperor gave you a marriage to the Marquis of Peking. What are you wrong? If you don't want to, your aunt asked the emperor to take back the oral order."

She was afraid that Chu Xinyu would be wronged, and she also listened to the rumors outside, so she rushed to pick her up into the palace and wanted to ask her about her wishes.

Chu Xinyu put down the spoon and said, "Auntie, Yu'er has nothing to be dissatisfied with, so what is the best Marquis of Peking."

"But he and the girl from the Fu family..."

Chu Xinyu did not hide it and said directly: "I just want him to not marry her."

"Why?" Concubine Kang was stunned, but she didn't expect that it would be the answer.

"You can't tell you why now, you will understand later."

"What a pity, I want you to marry Ziheng." Chu Xinyu chose Lin Chenyao but did not choose his son. Although Concubine Kang was a little disappointed, she thought that Lin Chenyao was good in all aspects, but his mother, the eldest princess, might be the one? I don't know if there will be a mother-in-law problem in the future, so no one can tell the princess's temper.

"My cousin is very good, so I think my cousin should be better matched. He and I will always be brothers and sisters, just like kissing brothers and sisters."

When Concubine Kang heard her say this, she understood what she meant, but she didn't understand why the emperor agreed to give Chu Xinyu to Lin Chenyao?

Chu Xinyu and Ziheng are cousins, so it was undoubtedly a matter of letting the Lin family step on Ziheng's side. Fortunately, Ziheng has no ambitions, maybe it's because of this.

She could only think like this. In fact, she didn't want to see her son fighting for something. That position was not so easy to sit in, and the process of going to that position was even more thrilling. She endured it once many years ago, but she didn't want her son to fight for power in the future, and her brothers and sisters would be killed by each other in order to fight for power.

Just after lunch and before the tableware was packed, a palace maid rushed in and reported: "Empress, the Empress Dowager has an oral order to ask Miss Chu Wu to go to Cining Palace immediately."

The Empress Dowager Chu Xinyu was stunned and immediately glanced at Concubine Kang.

Concubine Kang also frowned, "I think it might be because of the rumors."

Chu Xinyu thought it was because of this that the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Fu were sisters. According to seniority, Fu Yingfu should have called the Empress Dowager the aunt. I heard that the Empress Dowager loved Mr. Fu San very much, and probably loved the house and the Wuwu. He also took special care of Miss Fu Er. It is reported that she wanted to grant her the title of county lord, but for some reason she was not granted the title in the end.

Xu Zhilan was so ambitious that even the empress dowager was deceived by her. If the empress dowager was on her side, it would be a bit difficult to expose her mask, and she didn't know what the empress dowager's personality was.

Seeing Chu Xinyu frowning and thinking that she was afraid of seeing the queen mother, Concubine Kang said, "Don't worry, let your aunt deal with this matter." After all, no matter how smart Chu Xinyu is, she is still a girl who has never seen a big scene before, and it is inevitable that she is scared.

Chu Xinyu shook his head and said, "Auntie, I'll go to see the Queen Mother. If the rumors are clearly explained, it's okay. Don't worry, I won't have any trouble." She turned around to comfort Concubine Kang.

Concubine Kang thought about it and said, "Okay, the Empress Dowager is not an unreasonable person. If you go over and tell the truth, we will take care of what happened. By the way, your maid doesn't understand the rules of the palace. If you ask Aunt Lan to accompany you, she will give you some advice."

Chu Xinyu nodded and responded. Zhu Bo was timid and didn't know what situation he would face when he arrived at Cining Palace. He would adapt to the situation, but Zhu Bo didn't. Let her stay in Fengzao Palace safer.

After Chu Xinyu and Aunt Lan left, Concubine Kang asked the palace maid to call a little eunuch, and whispered a few words in his ear. The little eunuch nodded and bowed to retreat.

On this side, Chu Xinyu and Aunt Lan came to Cining Palace, stood outside the hall gate, and a voice was faintly heard from the hall. She took a deep breath.

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just relax."

A palace maid has already gone in to deliver a message, but soon the palace maid comes out to invite them in.

The floor tiles in the hall are evident, and the shoes are falling on them, making a little crisp sound. There are already people sitting on the left and right sides of the main hall. The first thing is the woman sitting on the soft couch with red sandalwood, peony carved flowers in the hall. She has a majestic appearance and graceful eyes. Needless to say, she must be the queen mother.

On the right side of the empress dowager is Concubine Qi wearing a palace outfit with a red background, a petal pattern on the concubine, and below is a girl with a pink and purple butterfly flower skirt. She is about her age, so this person must be Concubine Qi's daughter, the third princess Xiao Fu.

On the left is a noble lady wearing an indigo blue Ruyi makeup and fur. Princess Jing'an is next to her. Their eyebrows are 60 to 70% similar, and they must be Princess Duan.

She just glanced at it, then bowed respectfully, "My daughter Chu Xinyu greeted the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine."

"Get up, raise your head and come forward to let the Ai family see." The empress dowager looked at Chu Xinyu, who was unable to see his face with his head down. Her voice was calm and she could not hear joy or anger.

Chu Xinyu's heart suddenly felt a fight. With Princess Jing'an here, I'm afraid it's not just a rumor. She was a little nervous, but stood up generously.
