Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 27
Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Chu Weijing went to the military camp. Yunxi and Xiaoyan accompanied the eldest princess after breakfast, and the three of them were moving to the east room to drink tea and chat, when the butler came to report that Mrs. Bai of the Chu family had brought the little princess Daughter Chu Jinrong is here.

Yunxi looked at Xiaoyan in doubt.Listening to her explain: "The person my father arrested yesterday is Chu Jinshen, the youngest son of the eldest son of the Chu family."

Yun Xi nodded, understanding.No wonder Mrs. Bai was in such a hurry, it turned out to be her own son, but the image and demeanor made it hard to believe that it came from the Chu family.

When Jun Xi changed her mind, she listened to Princess Lingxi's order: "Please come in, Mrs. Chu Xuezheng." As she spoke, she motioned for Mother Jiang to meet her.

Yun Xi was startled, the eldest princess was quite unfamiliar with Bai's name, but she had a business-like attitude, presumably Bai's won't get any benefits for a while.

Mother Jiang left the room, but within half a stick of incense, she saw Mrs. Bai walking in with Chu Jinrong.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down and kowtowed: "My concubine Bai, please greet the eldest princess." Chu Jinrong next to him also followed suit.

Princess Lingxi took a sip of tea leisurely, as if she didn't hear anyone below, she only said to Yunxi and Xiaoyan: "The Biluochun that Jiangnan paid tribute this time is far worse than before, the leaves are not good-looking, and the taste is also bitter. "

Xiaoyan took the conversation and said: "What mother said is true, I tasted it too. I don't know if the tea tree grows crooked, and the tea that comes out is not good. I just threw it away, and my mother wrote to my uncle. Just ask him to order someone to bring some good ones over.”

Junxi also heard that Princess Lingxi was insinuating that the upper beam of the Chu family was not upright and the lower beam was crooked. She smiled inwardly, but didn't show it on her face, and said jokingly: "That's not enough to alarm the emperor. We are in the south of the Yangtze River now, princess If you think this tea is not good, you can just order someone to go to the tea farm to pick some good ones. But you must tell me that you must not take the tea grown on this crooked neck tea tree."

While speaking, Yun Xi cast a glance at Bai Shi who was kneeling on the ground, and found that her hands had blue veins exposed, and she was lying on the ground supporting her trembling body, almost fainting.

The little girl next to her was so angry that she raised her head and almost blurted out: "You..."

Before he could speak, he was staggered by Bai's force, and leaned against Bai's body, his face was blue and white.

Princess Lingxi snorted, slammed the tea bowl heavily on the table next to her seat, and shouted sharply: "There are no rules!"

Chu Jinrong's face turned into anger from embarrassment, and she was about to get up, but Bai Shi grabbed her tightly and covered her mouth.

Holding her little daughter with one hand, and covering her mouth with the other, Bai's face forced a shameful look on her face, nodded to Princess Lingxi and said: "It's my concubine who has no way to teach a daughter, please calm down, Princess."

Princess Lingxi wiped her hands dry under the service of Mother Jiang, and then said lightly:

"That's all. I won't punish a little girl. It's just that Mrs. Xuezheng is very capable. The son who taught me dared to run into my car, and the daughter dared to wait for me directly. With children of such moral character, I don't know if Master Chu would let him do this." How can the post of academic and political education be a good example for others, but if you don’t want to teach Jiangnan students who don’t know their status, it’s not good.”

Hearing what Eldest Princess Lingxi meant, Bai's face turned pale with embarrassment. She no longer cared about her little daughter, and kowtowed to Elder Princess Lingxi repeatedly: "It's my concubine who raised her children improperly. Please be punished by Elder Princess." It's just that my concubine husband has been diligent and diligent during his tenure, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, please look into it clearly, the eldest princess."

Princess Lingxi didn't seem to feel anything, and said with a light smile, "Women's Temple is not allowed to engage in politics. We women can't understand the affairs of men outside. It's not the emperor's brother who has the final say."

Bai's face became even paler, and Chu Jinrong was also honest, kneeling on the ground in good order, without saying a word.

Princess Lingxi felt that this might be enough, so she ordered: "Get up, give me a seat."

Bai Shi has been kneeling for a while, and she is a pampered person herself, so she was a little trembling when she got up.She secretly wiped off some sweat, and sat on the stool tensely, but she dared not sit still.Chu Jinrong was honest, she sat down firmly.

At this moment, Bai dared to raise her head and look slightly to both sides. When her eyes turned to Yun Xi, she showed an expression of disbelief on her face. She pointed at Yun Xi and said, "You...no...impossible..." Said He shook his head violently, as if seeing something unbelievable.

Junxi stood up slowly, with a faint smile on her face, she gave a light salute, and asked: "Madam knows Yunxi, please forgive Yunxi's clumsy eyes, I don't remember who Madam is?"

Bai quickly shook her head and said, "No... I haven't seen... I don't know... I know someone."

Except for Chu Jinrong who was still ignorant, Princess Lingxi, Xiaoyan and Yunxi all understood what had happened.

Princess Lingxi coughed heavily, and asked in a deep voice: "What the hell did Madam come to the Princess Mansion today? Why are you so out of control?"

Mrs. Bai hurriedly got up and saluted, "It's the concubine who was rude, don't blame the eldest princess. Yesterday, my concubine's husband came to hear that the concierge in the mansion said that the eldest princess was not feeling well, so the husband specially asked the concubine to come to visit, prepare a little gift, and invite the elder The princess can accept it with a smile." Then, he took out the gift list from his arms and handed it to the eldest princess.

The Eldest Princess signaled Nanny Jiang to take the gift list, but she didn't look at it, and said, "It's just that I'm a little tired from going out, and the son-in-law is too worried. I've neglected Chu Xuezheng."

The Bai family didn't even dare to speak, and said respectfully: "The eldest princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and the son-in-law should be so concerned about it. But the youngest son of the concubine, who was young and reckless, offended the eldest princess, and asked the eldest princess to hand him over to the concubine. , the concubine will take her back and discipline her well."

Princess Lingxi pretended not to know: "Madam's youngest son? I haven't seen it before. Madam made a mistake?"

Bai's heart was even more disturbed, but she was even more worried about the situation of her youngest son. She could only suppress her shame and said, "It was the person who bumped into the eldest princess on the road yesterday. I heard that he was brought back to the mansion by the son-in-law. The old lady at home I fell ill when I heard it, and I asked the eldest princess to forgive me and let my concubine take him back."

"So the son-in-law was reckless and startled the old lady, but it's our fault." The eldest princess Lingxi said lightly, "Forget it, Jiang Nanny, go and pass on my words, release Mr. Chu and give it to the lady." Take it home."

Mother Jiang agreed, and stepped back to do it.

Here, Bai's face was full of joy, and he quickly brought Chu Jinrong to kneel down and thanked him: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, I will definitely teach him well."

At this moment, Mother Jiang left and came back again, Fushen reported: "Princess, the son of the Chu family was taken to the barracks by his lord's own soldiers, and he left this morning."

Just standing up, Mrs. Bai's body limp and fell to the ground, crying, "I beg the princess to be merciful, and my son-in-law to be merciful."

Jiang Nanny hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Shi: "Madam begging our princess won't help. Our princess never cares about the affairs of the son-in-law's barracks. Madam should go back to the mansion and discuss it with Xuezheng."

Reluctantly, Bai got up, and hurriedly took Chu Jinrong away without even paying any respects.
