Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 48 She's Dumb

After Chu Wuhen entered the palace, he told the emperor what Xin Xing had discovered. At that time, the emperor was reviewing the memorial.

He hurriedly put down his pen, frowned and said, "Is what you said true?"

Chu Wuhen knelt on the ground on one knee, bowed his head and said, "I dare not speak nonsense, Your Majesty has learned from you."

The emperor got up slowly, paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy, and he kept silent.

Chu Wuhen didn't urge him, just waited.

Seeing this, Xie Shuangge couldn't help but said: "Uncle, let someone get up first, how uncomfortable is it to kneel like this?"

The emperor turned around, seeing Chu Wuhen was still kneeling, he waved his hands and said, "Get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Wuhen straightened up and pointed the stick straight, the flying fish suit was gorgeous in color, the emperor couldn't help but take a second look, and couldn't figure it out, "The royal family has been so beautiful since ancient times, most of the princes and princesses have outstanding looks, even if she is tired of looking at them Now, there are people like you, as well as the princes and nobles who are full of gold, young masters, and there are many people who are handsome and outstanding, so why did she just settle on someone with a bad appearance?"

Xie Shuangge lazily said, "So Jiusi doesn't just look at her face, maybe it's Gongsunye who attracted her elsewhere?"

The emperor immediately said: "That Gongsunye, who is delicate and weak, will fall if the wind blows, how can he take care of Jiusi? According to the people who serve him, he can compose a few sour poems, but that can't be eaten Eat, if you can't do it, you can't do it, what is Jiu Si looking for in him? If she really marries, she will marry far away, what is she planning?"

Xie Shuangge: "...Uh, it seems to be the same."

Chu Wuhen paused, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know."

emperor:"……"

"Alas—" the emperor waved his hand, his face was vicissitudes, "Forget it, I'll find out when she comes back."

Chu Wuhen nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Eldest Princess is eighteen years old, and it's time to talk about marriage among the people. The Princess is just beginning to fall in love, and it's the time of eagerness. Your Majesty, don't be too harsh."

"I know... hiss—" the emperor stared at him and asked, "Why did you speak for her?"

Chu Wuhen was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Princess Jianing and the Eldest Princess grew up together and have a very good relationship. If something happens to the Eldest Princess, Princess Jianing will not be happy either."

Xie Shuangge: "..."

And here it goes again, the man is at it again.

The emperor was stunned, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, you, so that's the idea."

He smiled and shook his head, "Ai Wu Ji Wu, you really care."

Chu Wuhen smiled without saying a word.

"Okay, I know this matter well, you take good care of your subordinates, I don't want a fourth person to know about this matter, do you understand?"

The emperor's tone suddenly became sharp, Chu Wuhen said solemnly: "Yes, I understand."

"Go back."

"Yes."

After Chu Wuhen went out, the emperor stood there worrying. He actually liked his daughter more than his son, but the eldest princess was timid by nature and didn't dare to get close to him. After a long time, he didn't have the patience to coax her, but What he should give her has never been less than her, and he has never forced her to get married early. He has been procrastinating, just wanting to keep her for a few more years, after all, she will be someone else's daughter in the future.

Besides, the princess doesn't have to worry about marrying, and it doesn't matter if she is older.

But he didn't expect that if he kept it, the flowers he raised would be picked by someone, and he was still such an unworthy thing.

He was angry and helpless.

After calming down for a while, he continued to approve the memorial, planning to have a good talk with Jiusi when she returned to the palace.

……

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was not impatient, Xie Shuangge felt relieved, he probably wouldn't reprimand Jiusi too much, marriage matters have never been up to them to decide, especially the royal princess, who was born noble, but also had no freedom.

Compared with the former imperial court who took the initiative to get married, uncle is already considered good. As long as their father and daughter have a good talk, this matter should be settled properly. If Jiusi really likes Gongsunye, uncle will probably agree, as long as He agreed, and the others didn't dare to have any objections. In this way, the two of them can be regarded as justified, and they don't need to hide it anymore.

Chu Wuhen's good performance this time can offset his crime of offending him once, Xie Shuangge thought in a happy mood.

……

Chu Wuhen stood guard outside the hall, he didn't take this matter to heart, and when it got dark, he went back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Xin Lu rushed up to greet him, seeing his expression changed, Chu Wuhen paused slightly, "What's the matter?"

Xin Lu bowed first, then got up and approached in a low voice: "Master, there is news from Boyanghou's Mansion!"

Chu Wuhen's face darkened: "Go, go to the study and talk."

"Yes."

……

Xin Lu, Xin Xing and Xin Zhi followed Chu Wuhen into the study room, and Xin Zhi who was walking last was in charge of closing the door. Chu Wuhen sat down behind the desk, his gaze fell on Xin Lu, "Speak."

Xin Lu immediately took out a secret letter from his bosom, "This is from the eyeliner stationed in Boyanghou's mansion and nearby, please have a look, master."

Chu Wuhen took the letter, and opened it hastily to read it.

Xie Shuangge was very curious, "Chu Wuhen actually planted an eyeliner in the Boyanghou Mansion? How long has he been back?"

Terrible, really terrible.

But what was written in the letter?

From her angle, she couldn't see the words on the letter, nor could she see Chu Wuhen's expression, so she could only judge by the reaction of the person opposite.

Well, each one is more nervous than the other, and their faces are tense. It seems that this matter is serious.

Chu Wuhen read the letter at a glance, and narrowed his eyes quickly, his eyes were indifferent, and there was a bit of burning heat, "There is a maid named Lingxi next to Liu, who used to serve mother."

"You mean—Mrs. Mrs.?"

Xin Lu frowned: "Since you are serving Madam, why did you run to Mrs. Liu's side? Mrs. Liu is so sweet and bitter, how can she tolerate her?"

Chu Wuhen raised his eyes, and said with a half-smile: "She can't tolerate ordinary people, but what if it's a dumb person?"

"Dumb?"

Xin Zhi and Xin Xing looked at each other, quite shocked, "Isn't it even more useless to be dumb? What is she going to do?"

Xie Shuangge was also confused.

Chu Wuhen tapped the letter with his fingertips and said: "Lingxi used to be a beggar. When my mother was traveling, the carriage almost hit her. At that time, she passed out in front of the carriage. The driver wanted to get her away. Mother was soft-hearted. Seeing how pitiful she was, she was sent to the hospital, only to find out that she fainted from hunger, and the mother saw that she was a girl, so she took her back to the mansion and asked her to be a housemaid."

"Does Madam know that she is dumb?"

Xin Lu was puzzled.

"According to the letter, I didn't know it at first, but when I asked her name later, she waved her hand and couldn't speak, so my mother found out, but she didn't dislike her, and gave her a name called Consonance."

Xie Shuangge suddenly understood, "Without a colorful phoenix and wings, she has a clear heart. What Madam Du means is that even if she can't speak, as long as she has a heart, someone will understand her."

She nodded with emotion: "Madam Du is really kind and talented."
