Chen Afu arrived at Anrong Hall. In the living room, Mrs. Chu San's eyes were red from crying, and Master Chu San was still trying to persuade her.
The old man sat in the main seat, pointed to the side of the third wife, and said, "Grandson's wife, please sit down."
It turned out that Prince Rui had found the old man and the third master, hoping that Chen Afu could take Li Xuan to the countryside. The emperor also hinted to the third master that if Chen Afu really had a way to cure Li Xuan, he should take Li Xuan with him.
If it was only Prince Rui, neither the father nor the son would agree, after all, the responsibility was too great, and they were afraid that if Li Xuan made a mistake, the Chu family would have trouble explaining it. But since the emperor had spoken, they had to do it.
Just now, they told her that the Ninth Prince's leg was almost healed, and that there was an Eleventh Prince, the boy that the Third Madam had seen in Fuyuan.
They thought it was time to tell her about this. They had to let her keep an eye on Rong Zhao so that Lord Chu would have more time to do other things. They also had to pay attention to the movements of the Queen, the Second Prince's wife, and other royal ladies. It would be best to stir up trouble for the Queen and Concubine Sun to fight more fiercely. But this matter was of great importance, and this matter must not be revealed to anyone, including the Queen Mother.
Mrs. Chu was happy for the Ninth and Eleventh Princes, but she was also sad for the humiliation that the Chu family had endured for so many years, and she cried for a long time.
After hearing what the old man said, Chen Ahfu hesitated and said, "If we take Li Xuan to Tang Garden, will the Second Prince and his party pay special attention to that place?"
The Third Master said, "No. Li Xuan is just a child, and the Second Prince can't focus on him. The Second Prince can't even imagine that the Ninth Prince has a miracle drug and will soon cure his leg. All his attention is now on the Third Prince's party. According to the Emperor, he plans to send Prince Rui to the Ministry of War for training. In this way, the Second Prince's party and the Third Prince's party will be wary of Prince Rui, and will try to win him over. Then let Changhua go to the palace to stir up trouble and muddy the water..."
Chen Afu was secretly happy. The capital would be more lively in the future. Fortunately, he was leaving soon.
When she returned to the bamboo pavilion, it was already late at night. Looking at the bright stars in the sky, she thought that the golden swallow would come out at midnight. Thinking of that moment, she was very excited. It was a pity that Chu Lingxuan was at home, so she couldn't enter the space to welcome it out.
After washing up and going to bed, her movements were very gentle, but they still woke Chu Lingxuan up.
He pressed Chen Afu down on the bed and chuckled, "Why did you come back just now..."
This time Chu Lingxuan took a particularly long time and even blamed Ah Fu for not paying attention.
Chen Ahfu thought to himself, it's strange that he can concentrate, it's almost midnight, and that little thing is about to come out. Being eavesdropped is frustrating enough, and being seen in the drama is even more embarrassing.
As she was thinking, she felt an itch on the palm of her left hand. It was Jin Yanzi's hint that it was about to come out. She complained in her heart, couldn't she wait a little longer?
She pulled her left hand away from Chu Lingxuan's hand, stretched out her reach through the curtain, and felt the golden swallow leap out and fly out of the half-open window.
Chu Lingxuan heard a slight noise and looked up and asked, "Who?"
Chen Ahfu said angrily, "Where is there anyone? You are not paying attention, and you are still blaming me..."
The next day, the couple got up early. Chu Lingxuan went directly to the outer courtyard and even had breakfast there. Chen Afu led the servants to pack up the boxes.
The fourth master Chu Lingwei and the fifth master Chu Lingzhi came to give gifts to Chen Afu. What they gave were food and books for the little girl Chu, Dabao and Alu.
Chen Ahfu expressed his gratitude and invited them to have some snacks.
Afterwards, Mrs. Song, the second grandmother of Chu, sent someone to secretly deliver a bag of Wei Island sea cucumbers, saying that she was not feeling well and would not come to deliver it to her.
Chen Afu also accepted her favor. His relationship with Li was so bad that, as the concubine's daughter-in-law, Song would definitely not dare to openly show goodwill to her mother-in-law's enemy.
The other two concubines of the second house did not dare to come, but Chu Zhen came. It should be that Nanny Qian escorted her here, and judging from her face, she seemed to be unconvinced.
She gave Miss Chu two handkerchiefs she had embroidered. Chen Ahfu thanked her and invited her to drink tea.
Then Chu Hua brought Heng Ge'er and Mrs. Chu San to come one after another. They each gave a gift of one hundred taels of silver.
Around the end of the 9th hour, Prince Rui and Princess Rui arrived, bringing with them Li Xuan, their wet nurse Wei Ma, four maids, four guards, and several carts full of things.
Princess Rui's eyes were red from crying. She hugged Li Xuan and kissed him again and again, and asked the nurse to hold Li Xuan and bow to Chen Afu. Li Xuan didn't know that he would be separated from his parents for a long time, and he was still smiling foolishly at Chen Afu.
At noon, everyone went to the flower hall of Anrong Hall to eat, and invited Prince Rui and his wife. Chen Afu asked someone to invite his uncle's family, but Wang Cheng said he would not go, and they could just stay in the yard and eat by themselves.
Li did not come due to illness, but everyone else from the second house came, including the third master who was supposed to go to the yamen, and the second and third masters Chu.
While they were eating, a servant suddenly came to whisper something to Mrs. Chu San, who burst into laughter and even cried.
Chu Hua smiled and said, "Aunt San, if there is something funny, you should talk about it. Let's have some fun together."
As soon as he finished speaking, several men exclaimed from the other side of the screen.
Madam Chu San glanced at the screen and said in a low voice, "A rare thing happened this morning. Rong Zhao and her daughter went to the palace to visit Concubine Shu. They were walking on the road when suddenly a lot of birds flew in from all directions, a black mass. It is said that there were nearly a thousand of them. Rong Zhao and her daughter and some palace servants were amazed and looked up to see the excitement. Suddenly, the birds started to poop, making a crackling sound, and then quickly dispersed. Those people were covered in poop... Hahaha... I heard that many people watched the excitement with their mouths open and ate the bird poop... Hahaha..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Chu San was already laughing so hard that she was out of breath.
Princess Rui, Chu Hua and others were surprised at first, but when they thought of that scene, they couldn't help laughing. But they could only cover their mouths with handkerchiefs and laugh, and didn't dare to laugh like the third lady.
Rong Zhao's relationships with people are really bad. Everyone in this room is her relative, but no one sympathizes with her. Although Chu Zhen flatters them in front of Rong Zhao and her daughter, she secretly hates them for looking down on her. After hearing about this, she covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
The men at the table also got the news. But after all, Rong Zhao was a princess and the daughter-in-law of their Chu family, so they were too embarrassed to laugh out loud. They were so tired of trying not to laugh that they could only cough non-stop.
There were constant laughter and coughing, which was quite funny and diluted the hatred and resentment of separation.
Chen Ahfu knew that it must be the Golden Swallow who went to find trouble for him. The little guy was really nice, so he went back and gave it a kiss.
After the meal, everyone sent the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan's family to the outer courtyard, where Wang Cheng's family was already waiting.
Everyone said goodbye with tears.
In the evening, a large group of people arrived at Tong County Post Station.
