Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 26 The Thunder on the Ground Is Scary

After Chu Qingyan received the imperial edict, Eunuch Cao gave her a meaningful look, and then Shi Shi ran away under the Chu family's persuasion.

Chu Qingyan, who was in shock, didn't come back to her senses at all, so that she ignored Eunuch Cao's meaningful gaze.

In the hall, there were mixed congratulations from everyone, and the Chu family was also very awkward, throwing the hot potato of giving marriage to Chu Qingyan, and now she is also being driven away to move to the Yingwang Mansion, what will happen then? It has nothing to do with their Chu family. This should be a secret joy, but some people feel uncomfortable. Although King Ying is not favored by Emperor Xixuan and has a very bad reputation, he is still a prince after all. Seeing Chu Qingyan Once the sparrow flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Chu Qingyan didn't know that these people's hearts were full of twists and turns, their heads were still in a state of emptiness, and she didn't know how they returned to the room with the imperial decree in their hands.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Mother Chu greeted her, her face full of sadness and bewilderment, "Cai Cai, Cai Niang has heard the servant's talk just now, does His Majesty really want you to move to the mansion of King Ying who has such a bad reputation?" ? How can this be done?"

After hearing the sincere concern, Chu Qingyan's scattered thoughts finally came back together, she turned her eyes to look at the worried mother, her heart felt warm, she smiled and said, "Mother, don't be so pessimistic Why don't you just move? Don't you want to marry in the future? It doesn't make much difference if you move early or late, besides, moving here now will allow you to adapt to your future life in advance, which is also a good thing."

Chu Qingyan had no idea about Emperor Xixuan's impromptu thought. Although she said it was to comfort her mother, she felt a lot calmer while talking, and her tone became a lot firmer in the end.

"It's just that my daughter may not be able to serve her parents all the time in the future. Parents must take good care of themselves in the future!"

Chu Qingyan looked over her mother's shoulders, and looked at her father, who was lying quietly on the bed and sleeping peacefully, her eyes became softer. Fortunately, after she established a prestige in the Chu family, the Chu family did not dare to treat her father badly in a short period of time. Mother, this made her feel a little relieved.

Chu's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling a lot of relief in her heart, "Caicai, mother realizes that you have changed since you were injured last time."

changed?

Chu Qingyan groaned inwardly, was it because her mother noticed that something was wrong?
Just as Chu Qingyan was sweating coldly on her forehead, Mother Chu put her hand on her head and sighed softly, "I have become more sensible and handle things more properly than my parents. Cai should have a happier and more secure future."

It turned out that she was thinking too much, Chu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out to hug her mother, rubbed her head on her chest, and said coquettishly, "Mother, I am still a child, don't always mention marriage matters , people will be ashamed!"

Chu's mother chuckled, and couldn't help saying, "What a ghost—"

The sadness of parting in the room was diluted in this way, and what was left was a touch of warmth.

Seeing this scene, Huo Ling sitting on the roof turned his head and asked the subordinate who had just reported back from the palace, "Does the lord know about this?"

The subordinate nodded, and then said solemnly, "The prince is very angry about His Majesty's decision."

Huo Ling nodded, "Your Majesty's action of driving ducks to the shelves is really deceiving!"

The subordinate glanced at his lord suspiciously. If the lord was already furious, why is he smiling cunningly now, "My lord, you don't seem to be angry at all?"

Unexpectedly, his subordinates would see through him all of a sudden, Huo Ling coughed lightly, "I'm already furious!"

The subordinate nodded in disbelief.

Huo Ling rubbed his chin. If in the past, he would have been furious when he learned of His Majesty's decision, but after observing Chu Qingyan for a few days, he found that it would be a good thing for this little girl to be by the prince's side. Thinking of her heroic appearance of jumping into the lake today, maybe in the future, she can make a mess of Prince Ying's mansion, it would be so much fun!

No one knows how many people's lives will be changed after this imperial decree comes down. They only know that when the imperial decree was promulgated, the whole capital was already boiling.

"What, what? Your Majesty actually asked the ten-year-old girl from the Chu family to move to Prince Ying? This is too impatient!" Lu Renjia exclaimed.

"Maybe it's not His Majesty who is anxious, but the King of England. After all, he is almost twenty years old. One after another, the marriages are all innocent and tragic. The King of England should be anxious!" Passerby B came over mysteriously!

"It's rumored that the King of England is robbing his wife. I'm sorry for this little girl of the Chu family. I wonder if she will live to the day she gets married!" Passerby B was an old man, stroking his beard and shaking his head and sighing.

"The ten-year-old little princess, sad, lamentable and ridiculous—"

The market is full of people who are not optimistic about Chu Qingyan, the little princess, but they dare not discuss it. After all, this is a matter for the royal family, and a careless word may lead to decapitation.

Chu Qingyan didn't know what was rumored outside, but it didn't mean Xiao Xu didn't know.

Listening to his subordinate's report, Xiao Xu had a calm face, showing no emotion.

"My lord, since His Majesty has issued such an imperial decree, tomorrow will be the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Chu, do we want to prepare a precious congratulatory gift?" The housekeeper of the palace entered the door and asked with his head bowed.

Originally, the princes were entrusted to deal with these courtesies and exchanges, but after all, this time is quite special. Who made the old man of the Chu family become the grandfather of the future princess of the British palace!So things like birthdays should be carefully reported.

Only when Xiao Xu remembered this incident, he raised his eyebrows, remembering that the little girl had planned to escape from the Chu family on this day, but it's a pity that after the decree, she might not be able to get away.

"Prepare a generous gift and bring it to the king tomorrow!"

Thinking of that immature voice with an adult tone, Xiao Xu couldn't help but speak.

Everyone in the room raised their heads in surprise and looked at the prince in the middle in disbelief. They can't be blamed for making a fuss, but they have been with their prince for so many years, and they have never seen him bring a gift to any banquet, even if he is a high-ranking person. Uncle Wang, down to the important officials of the court, have never received preferential treatment from him. Why is it completely unconventional for the prince to come to such a small birthday banquet now!
Seeing everyone's sluggish expressions, Xiao Xu frowned, his domineering air leaked out, and everyone immediately put away their amazed glances, looked at their noses and noses, and their hearts were upright, and hypnotized themselves, saying, this is normal, not abnormal at all. !

After making this decision, Xiao Xu also felt a little puzzled in retrospect, why he made such a decision in the first place, but such a thought crossed his mind, and he said it out of his mouth.
