Chapter 116 Adviser, two or three things to pursue
After the government left the palace, all the ministers took orders and hurriedly bowed their heads and left the palace. Chu Cangyue walked towards the restored Yimei Garden, followed by Xun Zhai and Wu A, who were close relatives. Behind a certain corner
, stepping into the flowers and mountains, the surrounding environment is quiet and leisurely.
"My lord, are you worried about your marriage to the princess of Qi?"
"Or is it the case that Young Master Yan disappeared from the palace?"
Xun Zhai and Wu A saw Chu Cangyue walking with a gloomy expression, so they stretched their heads and asked cautiously back and forth.
Chu Cangyue stopped and dropped to the ground. He turned his head and looked at the two of them: "Mr. Sun, have you come here?"
The two people were stunned and immediately shook their heads.
Chu Cangyue raised her hands and dismissed the palace people around her with a look, then she told the two of them: "You must not talk to Chen Sandao about the marriage with Qi State."
Xun Zhai took off his helmet and held it in his hands, blinking in confusion: "Why?"
At this time, Wu A rolled his eyes and bumped his elbow. When he saw him looking over, he winked and mouthed: "Idiot, you forgot that our lord treats her, huh, huh, huh." He muttered.
The mouth and expression are making strange movements.
Xun Zhai also rolled his eyes at him.
He knew that his lord was interested in Chen San, but the marriage between Chu and Qi was a serious political marriage and an upright state matter. Even if Chen San knew about it, it would not matter. She would definitely understand and support his lord.
The Chen San I know has always been a person who understands righteousness and has a broad mind that can accommodate Haichuan like a scholar and a man. Speaking selfishly, with her wisdom and ability, she is worthy of the position of the mother of the country.
Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, her life experience and upbringing environment are not as good as that of Princess Xihua of Qi State. Otherwise, if the lord really married her and became his queen, everyone would be happy.
"Lord, this matter must not be hidden from each other. The most taboo thing between two people is concealment. If one day Chen San learns about this from another source, he will definitely have an identity with the lord." Xun Zhai thought for a while and then
Speak your heart out.
His father once hid an important event from his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law separated from him for several years and almost broke off their relationship. Therefore, Xun Zhai had this
A piece of advice.
When Chu Cangyue heard this, she faced the warm sun on the lake with a complicated expression: "I am not sure about her..."
Although these words were equivalent to talking to oneself, Xun Zhai and Wu A could hear them clearly with their good ears.
They fell silent immediately, feeling somewhat surprised and flattered at the same time.
Surprisingly, the hesitant person in front of them was not like the wise and decisive lord they usually knew, but just a man who was lost in love and hesitant.
And I was flattered just because the master would talk to them about his emotional troubles. This was simply treating them like outsiders.
"My lord...has he expressed his feelings to Chen San?" Wu A guessed.
Thinking of the kiss at Qizhuqiushe, Chu Cangyue felt that her mood was like the sparkling lake surface, wrinkled and smoothed by the wind, wrinkled and smoothed again, he glanced away slightly uncomfortably, his tone was weird and dull
Said: "She has... not responded yet."
Moreover, her usual behavior towards him was as relaxed and peaceful as usual, not even remotely like she had any deep affection for him.
This confused and frustrated him.
When Xun Zhai heard this, he had to cry out for Chen Baiqi's injustice. He said: "My lord, Chen San's love for you can be seen from the sun and the moon. You——"
Wu A quickly interrupted Xun Zhai's "crying for injustice" and said with a smile: "My lord, if you are not sure, why not interact with her first while the marriage has not yet been decided. In this way, even if there is a marriage, it will not matter.
It won't hinder the relationship between you and her."
After hearing this advice, Chu Cangyue thought about it for a moment and realized that it made sense. However, the problem was that he didn't know how to do it.
Poor "Zhan Gui", a young master of the Chu Kingdom who seldom gets along with his sister-in-law after his great career in the war, he behaves so clumsily and meekly in front of the first person he likes in his whole life, and has no sense of war.
The force of wind and thunder.
Wu A, a private fanboy, took one look and knew the crux of his master's problem. He smiled obscenely and gave him an idea.
——Do what you like.
According to Wu A's understanding of women, what they love is nothing more than men's power, money and the "flower superiority" offensive.
Just like at the beginning, Chen San sent him money, care and flowers, which moved her completely. She felt the superiority of being a sister-in-law and being loved by a man, and everything would fall into place.
Chu Cangyue frowned at first, but after the words were spoken, she nodded.
Xun Zhai thought this method was inappropriate. He recalled that when Chen Baiqi got married, he was ordered to send her large and small boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful women's clothes. When she arrived, nothing but a flash of light flashed in her eyes when she saw him.
In the bright light, when he glanced at those gold and silver things from the corner of his eye, he did not feel happy or surprised, because he thought that she was not fond of these common things. Instead, she often traveled far and wide to visit Mr. Xiangbo to borrow them. She must have
It is the joyful arrival of a soul that loves the fragrance of books.
Instead of belittling her by giving her some mundane things, why not get close to her as a book friend and then plan for something more in-depth, which will be the best choice for you to be close to her.
Although Xun Zhai is also a young man, the good thing is that he has found a lot of experience in his father, which he can learn from his master.
When Chu Cangyue heard Xun Zhai's words, she felt it was appropriate.
When Wu A saw his lord's intention to seduce Xun Zhai, he sought his favor and suggested other methods. Xun Zhai was always prejudiced against his "crooked ways", so he refuted and added.
The two of them were talking to each other like this. Chu Cangyue only felt that the two fighting cocks were fighting with feathers flying all over their heads. He lowered his face coldly and said: "There is no need to say more about this matter. I have made my own decisions. All you need to do is
Remember, don’t say anything taboo to Chen San.”
Immediately, he waved his sleeves and left with his palace attendants.
However, Xun Zhai and Wu A still felt that they were not excited and continued to argue, hoping to make a great contribution to their Lord's pursuit.
——
After putting on regular clothes and returning to Xia Yan's palace where he had temporarily settled, he heard that the guard Chen Baiqi had been looking for him for a long time. Chu Cangyue sent someone to pass the message, and Chen Baiqi came after a while.
As soon as Chen Baiqi saw Young Master Cang Yue, he first told him about how he successfully brought Chu Yan out of the palace last night, and then mentioned that Mr. Sun was alone in the garden waiting for her to return home at night. After Chu Cang Yue listened quietly,
Then he was thoughtful.
"I think Mr. Sun must have some suspicions. He knows me very well. It's not surprising that he can infer that this matter is related to me. But he has never taken the initiative to tell the truth without evidence. When Yan'er is sent out of Danyang, he will be resettled.
That's right. Even if Mr. Sun knew the truth and wanted to take action at that time, he would probably be out of reach."
Seeing that Master Cang Yue was fully confident about this matter, Chen Baiqi had nothing to worry about.
She thought that as soon as Young Master Cang Yue took over the Chu State, which had been under the tyranny of King Chu Ling for so long, there would be a big mess to deal with and the government affairs would be busy, so she prepared to say goodbye without disturbing her, but Young Master Cang Yue seemed to meet someone.
Like a puzzle, he stared at her with a puzzled look, then opened his mouth, but invited her to have lunch with him.
Chen Baiqi looked at the time and saw that it was indeed approaching noon. There was nothing going on around him, so he could not refuse his hospitality, so he respectfully stayed.
She thought to herself that she was a close minister of Prince Cang Yue, so she could not break the rules by staying for a meal at will.
The food equipment used by Prince Cangyue was naturally much richer than that of ordinary people. Beef and mutton were plated and sliced, seasoned with sauce, and kneaded chestnut rice was the main food. The dishes at that time were all cooked using a relatively simple method.
Fortunately, the meat is all natural and fresh, and tastes very delicious.
During meals, Chen Baiqi had a habit of eating silently, and he was very particular about eating and sleeping silently.
The young master Cang Yue has never been one to take the initiative to seek topics of conversation. Seeing that she was focused on eating, he also remained silent, and the two of them finished the meal in such silence.
Lunch was also finished, and just when Chen Baiqi was about to resign, Master Cang Yue retained her again.
It's just that he didn't say very confidently that he recently got a copybook from a famous calligrapher, but it was difficult to tell whether it was authentic or not, and he wanted her to appreciate the authenticity of the copybook with him.
Chen Baiqi raised his eyes and glanced at Young Master Cang Yue. It was impossible to say that no problem had been discovered yet. She was just wondering what the purpose of him "taking such pains" to keep her here was.
Young Master Cang Yue didn't look at her, because he didn't want her to see anything from his eyes. He took out a scroll of bamboo slips from the bookshelf and spread it out on the desk for Chen Baiqi to look at.
Chen Baiqi lowered her head and took a look, and quickly recognized that it was a copybook written by Ouyang Zhongshi, a famous calligrapher. She held the bamboo slip and read it word by word, and she immediately beamed with joy.
Seeing Chen Baiqi observing seriously, Young Master Cang Yue looked at her with tender eyes.
Warm sunshine pours in from the window lattice, and the air seems to be filled with a sweet and warm smell, that is called gentleness.
The more carefully she reads the copybook, the more devotedly he looks at her.
"Are you happy?"
Like it?
Chen Baiqi subconsciously replied: "This is Mr. Ouyang's out-of-print version, so I am naturally pleased with it."
"It can please Chen San, so it's worth giving as a gift."
When Chen Baiqi heard this, he raised his head in surprise: "Is this for me?"
"Don't lie." Young Master Cang Yue seemed to smile, but the smile was too shallow and fleeting, like the wind passing by without leaving a trace.
Chen Baiqi felt that there must be something behind what he said, so he asked hesitantly: "Master...but you have something to ask Bai Qi to do?"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Cang Yue's face turned half dark, and she was immediately a little discouraged.
Does she think his "pleasing" is just for some purpose?
"That's all, you don't want to go back. I still have business to deal with." Young Master Cang Yue waved her hand with a stern face, indicating that she could go down.
It's not easy to rush into this matter, let's wait for a long-term discussion next time.
Chen Baiqi, who was kicked out, was as confused as a monk who was as tall as ten feet tall. If he hadn't asked her to do things again, what would he have wanted to do if he was both leaving food and delivering copybooks?
