Chapter 24

The Empress Dowager Zhang looks kind and kind on the surface, but in fact she is cruel and merciless.

Chu Feiyan knew in her previous life that this old lady was difficult to deal with.At that time, Empress Dowager Zhang fell in love with her immediately as she does today.It's just that it's not true that Queen Mother Zhang likes Chu Feiyan, but it's true that she covets the strong military force of Chu Palace behind her.

The women in the deep palace, especially the queen mother who has fought for decades and finally reached the highest place in the harem, must be quite ruthless characters.

Facts have proved that Chu Feiyan's first impression of Queen Mother Zhang was very correct in his previous life.The queen mother in this chapter is not only a vicious person, she even wants to grab the throne of her own son.

Empress Dowager Zhang has two sons, one is Yan Huang who enthroned and proclaimed himself emperor, and the other is Prince Rui who is far away in the fiefdom.But for some reason, the Empress Dowager Zhang of the previous life despised the Banquet Emperor, and she was focused on encouraging Prince Rui to usurp the throne.

If it weren't for Prince Chu and Chu Feiyan's firm stand, the Emperor Yan would have been pushed down from the throne by his mother...

However, Chu Feiyan felt that at that time she and Prince Chu might as well have worked together with Queen Mother Zhang.In this way, Prince Chu will not be framed for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he will not be beheaded by the faint king.

Chu Feiyan shook his head, knowing that it doesn't make any sense to think about these past tenses now.She was reborn and returned, and all tragedies never happened.And she will never let any potential tragedy happen.

She bowed and lowered her eyes, and responded to the Queen Mother obediently: "I dare not be a minister, if the Queen Mother has mercy, please call my daughter Chu girl!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother Zhang nodded in satisfaction, "What a likable girl! Come here quickly, so that the Ai family can take a look."

"Yes!" Chu Feiyan responded, stepped forward with small steps, raised her head and let the Empress Dowager Zhang scrutinize her.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw that Chu Feiyan was beautiful, she could be seen to be a top-notch beauty at a young age, so she couldn't help but get a wrong idea.

Think about the Chu prince who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but only such a daughter under his knees.If she got Chu Feiyan to marry Prince Rui's son Yan Wenjie, wouldn't it be easy to push that bastard off the throne in the future?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Chu Feiyan more lovingly, wishing she could marry her to her precious grandson immediately.

It's a pity, it's a pity, she threw a big birthday banquet this time just to meet her precious son.Unfortunately, the weather was not good, Prince Rui's family was blocked by a heavy rain on the way, so they couldn't go to Beijing in time to celebrate their birthday...

Chu Feiyan saw that Empress Dowager Zhang had a strange look on her face, so she guessed what the old woman was thinking when she changed her mind.

Today is different from her previous life, she is no longer the Chu Feiyan who was touched by Pei Zhengnan, and she is no longer the princess who was married to that scumbag before she was old enough.After a few days, when she grows up, any man can come to her house to propose marriage.

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes were lingering with green light, and she was probably thinking about her marriage.If it is not wrong, the old woman must want to match her with Prince Rui's son Yan Wenjie.

Don't ask why Chu Feiyan decided that it was Prince Rui's son Yan Wenjie, instead of Prince Yan Wenyuan and Fifth Prince Yan Wenkai.Just imagine, if the old woman doesn't even look down on the Yanhuang who is on the throne, how can she look down on the two grandsons born by the Yanhuang?

"Chu girl is already beautiful at such a young age, and in two years she will be the most beautiful girl in the world!" The Empress Dowager Zhang smiled very kindly, and took the initiative to take Chu Feiyan's little hand and stroke it.

Seeing this scene, people who don't know will think that Chu Feiyan is the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Zhang!
The Empress Dowager Zhang praised Chu Feiyan as a flower here, but she didn't know that two young girls developed a monstrous hatred for Chu Feiyan because of her praise.

Zhou Yuxiu took the lead and gritted her teeth in anger.In her opinion, Chu Feiyan was quite beautiful, but not as beautiful as her.But Queen Mother Zhang didn't even look at her, she only cared about praising Chu Feiyan, she hated her so much.

And the other person who hated Chu Feiyan was the little princess Yan Ruoxue who stood not far from Queen Mother Zhang.

Yan Ruoxue was born to Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi was extremely beautiful, and the fifth prince Yan Wenkai she gave birth to was unparalleled in beauty.But this Yan Ruoxue did not inherit the slightest bit of her mother's beauty, she looked ordinary, very ordinary.

I don't know if it's because the Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't like Concubine Yi being favored by the Emperor Yan, or because she despises Yan Ruoxue for being ugly.In short, Yan Ruoxue is so old, she has never heard Queen Mother Zhang praise her.

Even if she took the initiative to show favor to Queen Mother Zhang, Queen Mother Zhang turned a deaf ear to it.On weekdays, he even ignored her, as if he had never had such a granddaughter.

Yan Ruoxue comforted herself more than once, it wasn't that she wasn't likable, it was that Queen Mother Zhang favored boys over girls.Isn't the eldest princess Yan Ruoyun not loved by the Queen Mother Zhang?

Who would have thought that over the years, she had gradually accepted the fact that she was not liked by Queen Mother Zhang, but in the end Chu Feiyan jumped out of thin air.Chu Feiyan was not only loved by the Empress Dowager Zhang, but also praised like no other in the world.

Is it because Chu Feiyan has a good-looking face that Queen Mother Zhang especially likes it?But if this is the case, how can she be so embarrassing for her granddaughter who is in the same blood?

Yan Ruoxue couldn't figure this out, so she couldn't help feeling hatred towards Chu Feiyan in her heart.Her hands hidden under the cloud sleeves were clenched into fists, she only hated herself for not being able to go forward and scratch the little vixen who bewitched the Queen Mother to death.

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!" Suddenly, two consecutive sneezes attracted everyone's attention.

It turned out that Zhou Yuxiu, who was drenched all over, sneezed coldly.

Pei Zhengnan glanced at Zhou Yuxiu, and really wanted to say a few words of condolence, but felt that it was not suitable for etiquette, so he could only tighten his brows in anxiety.He is a compassionate man, and he doesn't want Zhou Yuxiu to suffer from the cold.

Zhou Yuxiu saw that Empress Dowager Zhang stopped talking and focused on her, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity to express herself.

She raised her head and said pitifully: "Please forgive me, the queen mother, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I couldn't hold back just now..."

Just as she was talking, Zhou Yuxiu suddenly closed her nose, and sneezed as if she couldn't bear it anymore.

Chu Feiyan curled the corners of her lips, knowing that Zhou Yuxiu was deliberately attracting everyone's attention.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhou Yuxiu's pitiful little appearance, and felt a nausea in her stomach.

Chu Feiyan could see the undisguised disgust on the Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows, and knew that Zhou Yuxiu had touched some taboos of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

It's just that she has achieved her goal today, so she is really too lazy to continue to make excuses here.

Ever since, seeing that Queen Mother Zhang was silent, she held Queen Mother Zhang with her backhand and called out in a low voice: "Queen Mother, my sister and Pei Tanhua are all wet..."

She said half a sentence and left half a sentence, as if she didn't know what to do.

The Empress Dowager Zhang came back to her senses, and said with a benevolent smile: "Don't worry, the Ai family ordered someone to take them to change their wet clothes."

Concubine Yi at the side heard what Queen Mother Zhang said, and immediately felt that her daughter's chance to perform had come.

She pushed Yan Ruoxue forward, and took the initiative to settle the matter, "Mother, Miss Zhou is about the same age as Ruoxue, why don't you let Ruoxue bring a suit of clothes for her to change into."

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't want to look at Zhou Yuxiu any more, and waved her hands in response: "Well, Concubine Yi is thoughtful, so let Ruoxue take Miss Zhou away."

Concubine Yi was very happy, she turned her head and winked at Yan Ruoxue, implying that she seized the opportunity to perform well.

Yan Ruoxue was reluctant in her heart, but obedient on the surface, she walked up to Zhou Yuxiu, and politely called: "Miss Zhou, come with me!"

She dared not call herself "the princess" in front of the queen mother, for fear that the queen mother would be angry.

With tears in her eyes, Zhou Yuxiu thanked Empress Dowager Zhang, Concubine Yi and Yan Ruoxue a thousand times, but she didn't know that this behavior was what Empress Dowager Zhang disliked the most.

Yan Ruoxue reluctantly led Zhou Yuxiu away, but Pei Zhengnan was still kneeling on the ground wet all over.

The Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Pei Zhengnan, frowned and told Sixi, "Take Pei Tanhua to the Clothing Bureau to find suitable clothes to wear."

The Shangyi Bureau makes clothes for the nobles in the palace all day long. It is not difficult to find a ready-to-wear suit directly there.Si Xi congratulated and urged Pei Zhengnan to follow him, shaking his whisk.

Pei Zhengnan thanked the Empress Dowager Zhang, got up and followed Sixi to leave.When he walked to Chu Feiyan's side, Pei Zhengnan glanced at her vaguely.Chu Feiyan noticed it, but ignored it.

Empress Dowager Zhang sent Zhou Yuxiu and Pei Zhengnan away, and her attitude towards Chu Feiyan became more and more loving, "Miss Chu, your little sister and her fiancé Ai's family are all in order, are you relieved?"

Chu Feiyan smiled sweetly, with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness, Feiyan has a stupid mouth and doesn't know how to say nice things, so don't blame the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhang was amused, "You are a real little girl. Let's go, accompany Ai's family to Fulu Hall."

Chu Feiyan responded obediently, and supported the Queen Mother with both hands respectfully.Seeing this, Queen Mother Zhang was very satisfied, and she already regarded Chu Feiyan as a grandson-in-law in her heart.

The queen, concubine, and concubine Yi are not stupid. Seeing the Queen Mother Zhang's overly enthusiastic attitude towards Chu Feiyan, and then thinking about the solid and strong army behind Chu Feiyan, they each have some calculations in their hearts.

Under the queen's knees, the crown prince feasts on Wenyuan, and under the knees of Yifei, the fifth prince feasts on Wenkai.The former seems stable, but not favored.The latter's favor is not fading, and he really wants to fight for the crown prince.

The noble concubine's life was miserable, and she failed to give birth to a prince.But her family is the Tuoba family, her father is the Changsheng General of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, and her younger brother is the deputy commander of the Yulin Army.

The Queen and Concubine Yi thought about taking Chu Feiyan for their own use, and it would be best if they could marry him as their daughter-in-law.The noble concubine was thinking, pointing Chu Feiyan to her younger brother Tuoba Jue.So what if she has no children at that time?Her natal family is tough, so no one dares to touch her.

For a while, everyone had their own ghosts, and they walked towards the Fulu Palace with a lot of preoccupations.

Chu Feiyan sideways supported the Empress Dowager Zhang, looking at the rockery in the distance from the corner of his eye.But he saw Xuanyuan Hao, the playboy, standing beside the rockery with his arms folded, looking at her carefully.

Xu Shi noticed Chu Feiyan's gaze, and Xuanyuan Hao suddenly raised his hands, put them in front of him and took a deep sniff.

"..." Chu Feiyan's eyes flashed, and he almost immediately guessed what Xuanyuan Hao wanted to express.

Just behind the rockery, that smelly and shameless man dared to hug her, and sniffed her breath like a disciple.At this moment, what is his intention if this action is not a blatant provocation?
Chu Feiyan ground her teeth secretly, feeling that she had bitten him too lightly just now.

Beside the rockery, even though they were far apart, Xuanyuan Hao could still feel the anger bursting out from Chu Feiyan's body.

He lightly sniffed the faint floral fragrance on his fingertips, which was left over from hugging Chu Feiyan.

Little girl, it's really fun...
