Resourceful beauty

Chapter 267
"Xinlan and Luwu were rewarded by the Ai family and the queen who cared about the prince's lack of attentive service, but the prince didn't appreciate it. After such a long time, he didn't favor them. But now, the East Palace has added another The crown prince's side concubine and prince Liangdi, the prince is still indifferent, what's the reason?"

A faint scent of aloes was ignited in the hall, adding a bit of introvertedness to the air. Looking at Chu Yuan who was sitting there with the old god watching his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart, Empress Dowager Lou's words unnaturally brought out Bit of a complaint.

Chu Yuan looked back at the Empress Dowager Lou, smiled and said, "I don't need the Empress Dowager to worry about the affairs of the lonely bed."

Don't bother the Empress Dowager, and this sentence again, the words that Su Momo came back from Xuanyi Hall that day seemed to ring in Empress Dowager Lou's ears.

The originally gentle tone suddenly became a little sharper. The Empress Dowager Lou frowned and looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Don't bother the Ai family? If the prince handles things properly, will the Ai family bother so much?"

Chu Yuan shrugged his shoulders with a cynical expression, "If there is anything wrong with Gu, the queen mother will make a point or two, and I will be grateful. But if Gu is willing to favor someone, but he is not willing to favor anyone, this is different from the queen mother. What's the matter?"

If this is the case, it can be regarded as disrespectful, the Empress Dowager Lou's heart stopped, and she suddenly took a quick breath.

On the side, Madam Su stepped forward to caress the Empress Dowager Lou's chest, and said softly, "Your Highness, why bother? You know very well that the Empress Dowager is only thinking of Your Highness."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Lou was silent, she was obviously acquiescing herself to continue talking. Madam Su said earnestly: "In the royal family, it is no different from ordinary people's family. The matter of children has always been important. Your Highness is for the sake of children, and it should be rained and dewed. Mo If there is a lot of resentment in the East Palace, it will be."

"A lot of resentment?"

As if he had heard a funny joke, Chu Yuan looked back at the Empress Dowager Lou, "If the Empress Dowager and Queen had not intervened, there would never be a single bit of resentment in the East Palace. This day is not caused alone."

After all, seeing that Nanny Su was about to speak, Chu Yuan raised his hand to stop, looked directly at the Empress Dowager Lou and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter, it is a private matter to favor someone alone, so don't worry about it. The Queen Mother still has Anything else? If not, I will take my leave first, and come back another day to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"you……"

Her chest became more and more heaving, and the Empress Dowager Lou looked at Chu Yuan angrily, and remained silent for a long while.

Seeing that Chu Yuan saluted and was about to leave, the Empress Dowager Lou raised her voice and called out, "Prince, stay here..."

Squinting his eyes, Chu Yuan looked impatient, but finally turned around and sat back in the armchair.

The Empress Dowager Lou coughed a few times in a low voice, waved her hand at Madam Su, and when she retreated behind her, she panted and said, "The Ai family can see that the prince has a deep affection for the concubine. A beautiful thing."

Chu Yuan couldn't help raising his vigilance. He didn't believe that Queen Mother Lou was such an easy-to-compromise person, and she gave up her original intention just because of her few words just now.

Looking suspiciously at the Empress Dowager Lou, she saw that her complexion was a little slow, and she sighed a little weakly: "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and now Ai's family is old, and no one listens to what he said. In this way, instead of being annoying, it is better to spend your days in this Shouchang Palace with peace of mind."

As she said that, the Empress Dowager Lou looked up at Chu Yuan and said: "You said that day, before the crown princess gave birth to a son, the other concubines in the East Palace would not be pregnant, but now, the princess has given birth to a son, but you are still the same, sorry I can't control it, so I can only let you go. But..."

When the subject changed, the Empress Dowager Lou said in a deep voice: "In this case, the Ai family can only count on the Crown Princess to continue the heir for the prince. If this is the case, then take the child to Shouchang Palace and let the Ai family take care of it. In this way, The princess can also serve the prince with all her heart, so she can conceive as soon as possible."

Finally showing her trump card, the Empress Dowager Lou raised her eyes to look at Chu Yuan, her cloudy eyes were as deep and silent as an ancient well.

Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't speak, she knew that he didn't want to. The Empress Dowager Lou sneered and said, "If the crown prince can't be the master, the Ai family can ask the king. Why, the grandmother of the Ai family wants to raise her great-grandson Under the knees, it's okay to play with grandchildren and enjoy the family happiness?"

Regardless of the previous dynasty or ancient history, it is common for emperors and grandchildren to be raised at the knees of the emperor's grandmother, mostly to make the elderly feel comfortable and to reflect the filial piety of their children and grandchildren.

Chu Yuan knew that if the Empress Dowager Lou really mentioned it in front of King Yao, the matter would most likely be settled.

However, neither he nor Fang Ruxuan, in their own hearts, would never agree.What's more, Chu Yuan knows better than anyone what kind of place is in the palace. He doesn't want his son to repeat the same mistakes. He doesn't even have the protection of his parents. He might die quietly in this sinful deep palace someday. up.

At this moment, Chu Yuan finally understood that what the Empress Dowager Lou said just now was to pave the way for taking the child away.

You don't want to pamper the other concubines and concubines in the East Palace, that's fine, the Ai family will help you raise the children, so you can pamper the Crown Princess and extend your heirs to your heart's content.

With a gentle smile on his face, Chu Yuan got up and faced the Empress Dowager Lou and said, "Gu is still the same sentence, don't bother the Empress Dowager about the affairs of the East Palace. If the Empress Dowager wants to spoil her grandson, the young master of Prince Yong's Mansion will do as well." Well, brother Xuan's pair of children, whoever the queen mother likes, just come to the palace. As for the orphan child, now, Gu is just such a single seedling, and it is very precious. Gu must take good care of him, and he cannot leave The road of the lonely day is."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yuan saluted with a smile, turned around and left.

Seeing that Chu Yuan got worse, not taking herself seriously every time, the Empress Dowager Lou trembled with anger, but she wanted to vent, but he had already disappeared in the hall, and the Empress Dowager Lou felt dizzy for a while, as if she I haven't been so angry in ten years.

"Go, go ask the king to come over..."

Panting heavily, the Empress Dowager Lou spoke sharply, and behind her, Mammy Su hurriedly cheered the Empress Dowager Lou.

In front of the nursery outside the palace gate, Fang Ruxuan and Lou Ya were still talking one after another, but the atmosphere was still somewhat cold in winter.

"I heard that you are looking up old events from 20 years ago?"

They were silent for a while, Lou Ya lowered her head and sniffed the pot of camellia beside her, then turned her head to look at Fang Ruxuan and asked.

Not knowing who Lou Ya heard from, Fang Ruxuan was a little suspicious.However, this matter had nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end, so Fang Ruxuan didn't want to answer her very much.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan like this, Lou Ya obviously didn't intend to let her go, she lowered her head and smiled, she said softly: "Concubine Ning is the biological mother of the crown prince, she died of injustice, everyone in the six palaces knows it. Although it has been a long time, but no matter Whoever marries the crown prince should find out what happened back then to clear Concubine Ning's grievances, so let me tell you frankly, I didn't listen to anyone's words, but this matter was within my expectations."

"Then, what does this matter have to do with Princess Rui?"

Frowning in displeasure, Fang Ruxuan turned around and asked Lou Ya.

Lou Ya was startled for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, there was a mocking smile on her face, "I really don't know if the Crown Princess is so naive, or because His Royal Highness spoiled her like this."

When speaking of the last sentence, Lou Ya only felt that her mouth was full of bitterness, as if she had chewed Coptis chinensis.

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but darken her face.

Whether Lou Ya is a young lady of the Marquis of Lin'an, or a junior whom the Empress Dowager Lou likes, now that she is Princess Rui, this cannot be changed, but the lecture tone of her words made Fang Ruxuan very upset.

Just as she was about to reply, she saw Chu Yuan walking out of the gate of Shouchang Palace from the corner of her eyes. Fang Ruxuan rolled her eyes and stopped what she was about to say.

Lou Ya didn't know how to hold back at all, and continued: "Since you are already the crown princess, you have to take on the responsibility bestowed on you by this status. Is it possible that you really think that you are here to enjoy the blessings? If you can't become the crown prince's helper, how can you do this?" The crown princess can only become his burden, how can he help him achieve hegemony?"

"Achieving supremacy?"

Fang Ruxuan smiled, "Wen has good ministers who govern the country, and Wu has brave soldiers who are good at fighting. Your Highness, as long as you know how to use people well and serve the people wholeheartedly, there will always be a day when great achievements will be made. I have a princess in the palace, take care of it." The trivial matters in the house, restraining concubines, raising children, and being able to explain his words gently when he is tired are enough, why bother to add more things? It is better to take back these words of Princess Rui. "

"you……"

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's words were so straightforward, Lou Ya felt that she was playing the piano with the cow, but before she could say it, she was interrupted by Chu Yuan who came strolling behind her.

"If Princess Rui has such lofty ambitions, she might as well move back to Prince Rui's mansion earlier. Maybe it will be of great help to King Rui. Princess Rui doesn't need to worry about what the Crown Princess wants to do. As for what you said help..."

Chu Yuan sneered, stepped forward and took Fang Ruxuan's hand without hesitation, "What I want is a woman, a wife, someone who can hand me a cup of hot tea when I'm tired, and put a smile on my face when I'm worried." , so that Gu can have a peaceful haven after letting go of the outside world, rather than a comrade who is competitive in everything and can stand side by side with Gu.”

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, Chu Yuan stared at Lou Ya unabashedly. Although his gaze was calm, Lou Ya felt that it was a great irony to herself, as if Chu Yuan was saying: You are the one A self-righteous, competitive woman can't bear to be alone.

Thinking of the first time at the gate of the city, he said jokingly, "Why does Gu put you in his eyes, just because you are the lady of Lin'an Houlou Mansion"?
Thinking of the paddock, as long as Fang Ruxuan is around, his eyes will never fall on the woman next to him.

Thinking of the alleyway in front of the small restaurant in Shangyang City, Chu Yuan gently tied up a thick fur for Fang Ruxuan, and carried her into the carriage.

Such a man was born to be an indomitable man and achieve great things. Shouldn't the one standing beside him be a woman who can stand side by side and always think about him, and who can be his arm at critical moments?

The obsession that has persisted for a long time, when she heard Chu Yuan's merciless words and saw their smiling faces as they left side by side, for the first time, she was shaken, and Lou Ya seemed to hear something breaking in her heart. Yes, petal by petal.
