But Chu Xinyu left the Imperial Garden and planned to go to Fengzao Palace to see his aunt, but when he arrived at Fengzao Palace, he was told that the emperor had summoned his aunt to Yangxin Palace and had not returned, and he didn't know when he would come back.

She had no choice but to go back along the way.

Lan Yi and Zhubo followed her closely along the way, not daring to say a word. They were scared in the imperial garden just now. They thought that if they had a disaster this time, they would be punished by the queen. Fortunately, the girl reacted smartly and quickly saw through their tricks and turned them into danger. Otherwise...

They really didn't dare to think about it, so they didn't dare to say a word along the way, for fear that they would say something wrong and be overheard by someone, and would be punished at any time.

The three of them walked to the left wing gate. Chu Xinyu lowered his head and thought about the matter. One person came towards him. Although he did not look up, she sensed that there was an obstacle in front of her and dodged to the left. Lan Yi and Zhubo saw that the man was also flashing here and hurriedly said, "Girl, be careful!"

Lan Yi stretched her hands and wanted to pull Chu Xinyu back, and she had already collided with the man.

"Ah!" Chu Xinyu stopped and looked up to see who he bumped into. Then Zhi collided with the man's chin again. Is this man a stone? Why is it so hard?

"Ao!"

"I'm sorry!" Chu Xinyu knew that he had hit someone and hurriedly apologized.

I was so immersed in thinking about things just now that I thought it was a straight road and could walk through it with my eyes closed. I didn’t expect that someone would be so blind and could actually bump into it like this.

"It's okay for a man to hit him gently, but girl, do you feel the pain in the collision?"

The sound is as warm as jade, as mellow as wine, like the musical sound played by millions of piano silk, which makes people feel heart-pounding.

"It hurts naturally, why don't you try to hit the stone."

Chu Xinyu took two steps back, looked up, and eight words appeared in his mind.

Fresh and elegant, with orchids and jade trees.

He seemed to be the gentlest beam of sunshine and the most elegant breeze, wandering around the world at will, and no one or anything could restrain him.

If Lin Chenyao brings people a shocking and shocking surprise like the moon, then this person is like a hundred-year-old wine, and a sip of it makes people fascinated by the heart.

The man looked at her, and the phoenix eyes could not hide his stunning look. He looked back and smiled charmingly. The pink and colorful palaces of the six palaces were probably just like this. He believed that he had countless beauty, but he had never seen such a woman who was so extraordinary.

The man narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and bowed to her and said, "Xie Zhengqing is reckless, I hope you forgive me."

When Chu Xinyu saw that he was graceful and polite, he couldn't blame him. After all, he didn't look at the road at that time, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm wrong, too."

"I dare to ask the girl is..." Xie Zhengqing often goes in and out of the palace, but has never seen this woman before, and can't help but want to know who she is.

"My girl is the fiancee of the Marquis of Beiping. Please let Mr. Xie give in."

Seeing that he was very arrogant, Lan Yi knew that he was a person with status at first glance. Moreover, his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at the girl. He didn't want the girl to have more contact with him, so he took the lead and deliberately revealed Lin Chenyao's identity.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Zhengqing's handsome face, but he was soon covered up. He raised a smile on his lips, took two steps away, and said, "It turned out to be Miss Chu Wu, who is so respectful."

He had just returned from his way out and heard rumors about the five girls of the Chu family of Zhongyi Hou, saying that she became famous at the Baihua Banquet and was given a marriage to the Hou of Beiping by the emperor. He also gave an idea to help the Princess Chu hold a public welfare fundraising event. He was named the lord of Shengping County by the emperor, and was also the most beautiful person in the capital.

He had heard some bad rumors about this Wu Miss Chu in the past. After hearing these, he thought they had been exaggerated. But when he saw them today, the rumors were not exaggerated at all. It’s a pity that Minghua already has a master.

Chu Xinyu nodded slightly at him and then stepped away.

Xie Zhengqing turned around and looked at her back in silence. She didn't know what she thought of, and the corners of her lips gently raised.

There were two figures on the Chonglou. Looking at all this from afar, Lin Wan'er asked in confusion: "Isn't that Mr. Xie Liu from the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion? How could he know Chu Xinyu?"

I was far away and couldn't hear what they said, but if I didn't know each other, how could I stand together and talk?

Xu Zhilan said: "Mr. Xie Liu is the queen's nephew and the son of Dingyuan Hou the most beloved. I heard that I went to Jiangnan three months ago and now I am silent and colorless when I come back."

"So, does he and Chu Xinyu know each other?" Lin Wan'er frowned and gradually loosened her face. "I heard that Mr. Xie Liu is a romantic and affectionate person. He must have fallen in love with Chu Xinyu. Our plan is not lacking in appropriate help. If this person is Mr. Xie Liu, it must be very interesting."

"It's really interesting."

Xu Zhilan sneered slightly at the corner of his lips. Concubine Qi had always wanted to alienate the relationship between the queen and Duke Rong's mansion and the King of Qin. She was summoned to the palace today. Because of this, she wanted to win over Concubine Qi's trust. When King Jin ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he inherits the throne and receives the support of Concubine Qi, he must do what she ordered.

Lin Wan'er's plan was just enough to help her, but if she wanted to get rid of Chu Xinyu, the maid next to her must be removed first!

...

Yikun Palace

"My nephew, please see the queen and aunt." Xie Zhengqing knelt on one knee, very respectful.

"Qing'er, get up quickly, I'll feel relieved when I see you come back safely." The queen's eyes were full of kindness. Among the many nephews, she loved him the most.

Xie Zhengqing stood up and said, "It was my nephew's unfilial piety to make my aunt worry about it. Fortunately, my nephew found the Nine Dragon Beard Grass. As long as I nourish it carefully, it will bloom next winter, and the prince's cousin's illness will be saved."

Three months ago, he left Jinjing City and went to Taibai Mountain to look for Jiulong beard grass. However, he was afraid that some people would investigate his purpose of going there, so he told the public that he had traveled to Jiangnan.

The prince suffered from cold symptoms when he was a child. As he grew older, the cold symptoms became more and more serious. The decoctions he usually drank can only be suppressed, but could not cure the root. It usually doesn’t seem to be a big deal, but once the diet is not taken care of, it will occur, and once the attack occurs, the condition will be severe.

Three months ago, Dingyuan Hou learned from the miraculous doctor that the Nine Dragon Beard Grass can cure the cold symptoms of the prince. However, this grass grows in Taibai Mountain. It grows ten years long with one beard leaf. It grows enough with nine beard leaves to bloom. Because there is no summer all year round, spring and autumn are short, and winter is long, the Nine Dragon Beard Grass flowers are very delicate and they are frozen to death within a short time of blooming in winter.

Therefore, he was ordered by the emperor to go to Taibai Mountain to find the Nine Dragon Beard grass with flower buds, transplant it with roots and soil back to Jinjing City, and place it in a warm spring flower bed, allowing it to continue to grow until the flowers bloom.

"By the way, is the prince's cousin better? " Xie Zhengqing asked. When he came back, he heard that the prince's cousin was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief. He could travel far away. He must have been well recuperated.

While waiting for the flowers to bloom, the prince's cold symptoms could not occur again, otherwise it would be too serious and even the Nine Dragon Bearded Flowers could not be saved.

The queen sighed and said, "His illness has been temporarily controlled, but he can't work too hard. But this time, Hongzhou disaster relief, he must go in person. In this way, he can not only accumulate the hearts of the people, but also use this to warn those who want to see his position that although he is weak, he is not terminally ill."

"It should be fine if the King of Qin is by his side."

"I hope so."

King Qin has been very low-key over the years, looking as if he is indifferent to the world, but after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, who doesn't want that position?

Take King Jin for example. When he was young, he looked unruly and traveled everywhere. But who knew that he had traveled for many years and won people's hearts everywhere. In the past two years of returning to Beijing, his ambitions emerged, not to mention that he also had a mother who was fighting for power and a powerful mother clan.

Because the mother's family was a clear stream, far away from the pass and no one in the court was an official, she lowered her guard against him, but he had no strength anymore. After all, he was a prince. Besides, the emperor's favor of Chu Xinyu to Lin Chenyao will undoubtedly find a potential backer for the King of Qin.

The queen and the emperor have been married for decades, so naturally they understand the meaning of him marrying Chu Xinyu to the Marquis of Beiping. The Jiang family and Anxing Bo Qi family of Duke Ying's mansion became increasingly powerful. They secretly cultivated their own power in the court. With the strength of her mother's family, they can only barely compete with them now, but the future may not be certain.

King Jing also has ambitions, but his matriarchal strength is far less than that of the Jiang family and the Qi family. Therefore, if the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Rong Duke's Mansion marry, it will become the backing of the Qin King. Although the two families have always maintained a neutral relationship, who knows what will happen in the future?

Therefore, no matter what, the relationship with the King of Qin and the Duke Rong Mansion will continue to be maintained. As for Chu Xinyu, he is an interesting, clever and intelligent person. As long as he treats him sincerely, the Marquis of Beiping will be independent from the Duke Rong Mansion in the future. If the King of Qin does not rebel, it will definitely be the help of the prince. Therefore, the Eastern Palace must not oppose them.

Xie Zhengqing smiled, "If the King of Qin had a strange intention to his cousin, there would be a fire in the Eastern Palace two years ago and his cousin was trapped in the cold disease. The King of Qin would not risk his life to rush into the sea of ​​fire and rescue his cousin."

"That's it." The queen remembered that thrilling moment. The prince was almost buried in the fire. She was still in fear. The emperor asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter, but the final result was that a young eunuch in the palace was stole in the East Palace and thought that the prince was suffering from cold symptoms. He accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, causing a fire in the East Palace. However, he ran away alone in panic.

The little eunuch was afraid that he would be punished and left a suicide note to commit suicide. This was clearly a crime. No one from the princelings believed the confession of the little eunuch. Although he knew who was the one who was using this, he could not find any evidence to prove it. In the end, the emperor ordered the case to be closed.

Xie Zhengqing said: "If my aunt is worried about her cousin, why would her nephew go to help her cousin tomorrow."

"What did you say?" The queen gave him a look, "You have just come back and haven't even gathered with your family, but you are about to leave again. Your brother and sister-in-law are not in the palace yet and are anxious to meet me. Moreover, you are not young anymore. You are going to get married when you are about to start a family and start a business. When you come back this time, stay in Jinjing City. What kind of girl do you like? I ask your uncle to give you a marriage."

After hearing what his aunt said, a beautiful face flashed through Xie Zhengqing's mind, and then he said half-jokingly: "I have a girl I like, but she has a master."

"You are the best man in our Xie family. It's her loss if you didn't like you. My aunt will choose one for you another day."

"Then thank my aunt."

Xie Zhengqing said, looking up, he saw a picture of his aunt's portrait hanging in the main hall. The painting method was something he had never seen before. Isn't the aunt's clothes in the painting the same piece she is wearing now? Looking closely, the person in the painting is realistic like looking in a mirror. Who has such good painting skills?

When the queen saw him staring at the portrait, she said, "Today, I summoned Miss Chu Wu to the palace to draw. What do you think of painting?"

Xie Zhengqing exclaimed: "It's simply wonderful, it's extremely wonderful, and it's so amazing that these words cannot be described. Not only did she paint her aunt vividly, but she even painted the background so vividly!"

It turns out that her painting skills are so superb. Unfortunately, if he came back early, he would have the chance to meet her and ask her where the paint came from, because from the painting, it was not what they usually use.

"This girl is really good. If it were you..." The queen seemed to have some consciousness, and stopped abruptly. She did not continue to say anything. She then changed the other topics, chatted for a while, and asked, "Will you go to see your uncle when you enter the palace?"

"Before, my nephew will go and take his leave first." After saying that, Xie Zhengqing bowed and retreated. Behind him, the queen looked at him and sighed silently.

...

On this side, the three of them got on the carriage. Zhu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking: "Girl, who is that young man?"

"Who knows." Chu Xinyu shook her head. She had never seen this person after she returned to Jinjing. "But his surname was Xie, and the Empress was also Xie. Maybe the two were a little unrelated, but these had nothing to do with us."

Lan Yi thought about it and said, "Miss is right. This person has nothing to do with us. It's just a chance encounter. Don't tell the people in the mansion about today when you go back."

She was afraid that Zhu Bo would go back and show what she saw today, so she told the story of the queen's hatred of parrots. Although this is no longer a secret, how could the queen's affairs be said? Often, some things are unintentional and the listener is intentional, and this is how the disaster comes from the mouth.

Zhu Boyuan wanted to go back and go back to Yaoyao what he saw and heard in the palace with Ren Yaoyao. Now, after hearing what Lan Yi said, he gave up this idea.

When the carriage arrived at the mansion, Chu Xinyu was helped out of the carriage by Lan Yi. He looked up and saw a carriage parked in front of him. Chu Jiayi and Chu Jiating were helped out of the carriage by the maid.

Chu Xinyu frowned slightly, why did the second sister be with Chu Jiating? And she saw Chu Jiating's eyes red and swollen, as if she had cried.

Chu Xinyu looked at it and walked over, and when he passed by Chu Jiating, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Jiating lowered her head and said nothing, so she bypassed her into the mansion.

"Second sister, why are you back with the sixth sister? Haven't you been to the Duke of Wei's wife to enjoy the lotus feast?" Chu Xinyu asked Chu Jiayi.

Chu Jiayi replied: "I'm going there, I went with my sixth sister."

"Six sister seems to have cried? Is something wrong?" Chu Xinyu asked. She was not only curious about how Chu Jiayi took Chu Jiating there, but also curious about how Chu Jiating, who always pays attention to her image, actually cried and her eyes were swollen.
