The group left immediately. Aunt Cui looked extremely miserable, limping and bleeding all the way.
The house was a mess.
Concubine Wen said, "Aunt Li, tell them to clean up."
"Yes, my lady."
Concubine Wen took Chu Li to the side hall and said earnestly:
"How many times have I told you not to resort to violence, not to seek attention? Either keep a low profile or make a splash. Don't be stuck in the middle and wait for others to slaughter you."
"Great Chu was founded not long ago, and the emperor is very suspicious. The Wen family is a founding hero, and your three uncles..."
Chu Li interrupted by pulling his neck:
"My three uncles are all military commanders, and the emperor is wary of military commanders. If I show my talent and have the support of my three uncles, they will definitely support me in my bid for the throne. By then, the emperor will be suspicious of me, and the other princes will not let me go either."
She is a woman, and if anything happens to her, her entire family will be implicated.
She could recite these words with her eyes closed.
Concubine Wen choked and raised her hand to knock on her head, bang bang.
"I know, I know. You say you know, but you dared to slap the Seventh Prince in the face during the Autumn Hunt. Don't you want to wait until you are 18 to leave the palace and set up your own house to live your carefree life? Have you wasted all these years of saving gold bars?"
"You just used your internal energy to hurt Aunt Cui. Don't you know that Concubine Xin's father is from Concubine Jing's mother's family?"
While all the princes were competing to study statecraft, broad-mindedness, and the six arts of a gentleman, Chu Li went out of the palace every few days to eat, drink and have fun. By chance, he and his uncles became disciples of the same master and learned martial arts.
In fact, she and her uncles are fellow apprentices of the same generation.
The master praised her for her extraordinary talent and called her a martial arts prodigy. It was not that she was conceited. If she started fighting, she could beat three uncles with one hand.
Chu Li held her head in her hands, "I can't just watch my mother being bullied. Besides, Aunt Cui is just a servant. With my status, teaching a servant a lesson won't be a problem for others, right?"
"No talking back."
"Mother, I didn't talk back."
"Still talking back?"
"..."
Concubine Wen turned her head and said, "Why are you silent? Do you think what mother said is wrong and are holding back your anger? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just say it directly."
"I don't dare."
"You're talking back again."
"I……"
Help!
-
Imperial study.
An important piece of military intelligence was rushed to the imperial capital over a distance of 800 miles. The Emperor of Chu was furious and threw his palm on the table. The entire imperial study became gloomy.
"Hasn't the war in Southern Xinjiang been settled? We even signed a ten-year peace treaty. How could it go back on its word so quickly?!"
The Regent returned triumphantly from southern Xinjiang.
Eunuch Fu carefully picked up the letter and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The barbarians in Southern Xinjiang have always been rude and unreasonable. It is to be expected that they will not keep their promises. Moreover, the war in Southern Xinjiang has always been handled by the Regent himself. If he dares to say that the situation has been pacified, I am afraid... he has been fooled by the barbarians."
The Emperor of Chu laughed out loud with a sinister look on his face.
Chu Dichi is a man of deep thoughts and swift actions. He has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for four years and knows the southern barbarians very well. How could he trust the southern barbarians so easily?
He was too impatient.
Chu Dichi spent four years to pacify southern Xinjiang, so he really believed it and immediately took back the military power and suppressed him.
Now……
It was like a loud slap in the face.
He no longer had any reason, nor was he able to bring himself to send Chu Dichi to conquer Southern Xinjiang, and the military power that had already been taken back could not be returned to him.
He was tricked by Chu Dichi.
"Is he the only one available in our great Chu? Pass on my order and immediately send him... to the southern border to quell the war!"
Busy all day.
Stay up till night.
Eunuch Fu was afraid that the emperor's body could not bear it, so he asked someone from the Jingshifang to come in and pass a sign, asking the emperor to go and rest.
The King of Chu did not even raise his head: "I will go to Concubine Wen later."
The father-in-law in the Jingshifang's expression changed slightly:
"Your Majesty... this..."
"What are you hesitating about?"
Eunuch Fu took a half step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs, you may not know that this morning, Concubine Xin and Concubine Wen had an argument, and it was not very pleasant. The Queen said that they were concubines and it was not good to damage the dignity of the royal family, so she hung up their names and banned them from sleeping with the Queen for three months."
The King of Chu frowned: "What is it about?"
"It seems that Concubine Xin lost her beloved dowry. She suspected that Concubine Wen's maid stole it, but she couldn't find it in the end, so the matter ended in vain."
As long as the quarrels between the women in the harem were not out of line, the Emperor of Chu would turn a blind eye and let it go.
"Should I give her a light punishment and a severe warning? The Queen is too strict just for such a small matter. Is three months too long?"
Eunuch Fu hesitated:
"Your Majesty, the three-month punishment is... Imperial Concubine Jing's intention."
Emperor Chu clenched the memorial tightly, something flashed in his eyes, and then he loosened his fingertips calmly and said in a calm voice:
"Got it. I'm going to Imperial Concubine Jing's palace tonight."
-
The next day.
Chu Li asked Gou Ba to go to the imperial kitchen to get ice to cool the juice, but he came back empty-handed with his head covered.
"What's wrong with your head?"
Gou Ba's eyes were red, and he felt very aggrieved. "My Lord, when I went to the imperial kitchen, the eunuchs gave all the ice for today to the Seventh Prince's palace. I wanted them to share some, but they scolded me for not knowing my limits and pushed me to the ground."
My head almost bleeds.
It doesn't matter if he suffers some grievances, but the master and the Seventh Prince are both princes. If he wants to have some ice, does he have to look at the Seventh Prince's mood?
Chu Li knew clearly what was going on.
"If there's no ice, don't eat it. There's a tube of ointment on my table. Use it to rub it. Next time you see someone from the Seventh Prince's palace, stay away from them."
Among the nine princes, only the seventh, eighth and ninth princes have not yet had their own palaces.
They lived together in the palace and saw each other every day. Moreover, the Seventh Prince bore a grudge against her because of the autumn hunting incident, so he would naturally not let her go easily.
The Seventh Prince has been doted on since he was young, and Imperial Noble Consort Jing treats him like a treasure, giving him whatever he wants. Chu Li can't afford to offend him, but he can afford to avoid him.
"Master, you should go to the Royal Academy today."
"No."
"Ah? You skipped class again. Master Jiang will be angry if he finds out!"
Since it is waste, then carry it through to the end.
No one will waste energy targeting a piece of trash.
After changing his clothes, Chu Li turned around and went out of the palace to play.
It was just an accident. As soon as I left the palace, I was questioned by a beautiful young lady: "Excuse me... are you the Ninth Prince?"
Her face was blushing and her voice was timid.
Chu Li tilted his head: "You are..."
She seemed not to have seen her.
"I am your humble servant Yu Qiao, and my father is a scholar in the Hanlin Academy." She pinched her sleeves nervously and carefully took out a sachet.
"This sachet was embroidered by me personally..."
Chu Li was very surprised.
The ninth prince of the current dynasty is a good-for-nothing who only wants to eat and wait for death. This is something that everyone in the Great Chu knows. In the future, he will at most be an idle prince, living a mediocre life. His descendants will not be able to inherit the throne, and will slowly become commoners in the future.
how?
Her life is already so dark, yet there are still people who like her?
Is it just because she is pretty?
She deserves to die for delaying the life of a good girl!
Chu Li touched her soft, fair, oval face and could only reject her regretfully: "Ms. Yu, I'm really sorry..."
"Please, Ninth Prince, be merciful and allow me to give this gift to General Qin."
“…?”
I wanted to reject her cruelly, but unexpectedly a boomerang hit me.
