Chapter 142

Xue ronghua took out a jade hairpin, tied his hair into a simple bun, put on a tea white gauze clothes, carried a palace lantern and came to the door of Chu Zongge with pendant.

"Miss, it's so late. What can I do for you?" chuai'er yawned lazily.

"Princess Poyang will go to the state of Qi tomorrow. I have something to tell him." Xue ronghua reached out and knocked on the door. Chu Zongge asked vaguely "who?".

Xue ronghua said with a low smile, "you haven't slept yet. I have something to do with you."

"Wait a minute." Chu Zongge rustled in the room, tying a belt and opening the door. "I haven't slept yet. I just read the meeting. What can I do for you?"

Xue ronghua glanced at the pendant. "Since you want to sleep, go back and have a rest first. I'll talk to Duanwang."

She rubbed her eyes. "Will you come back, miss?"

"Of course I will. I have to get up early tomorrow," Xue ronghua patted her on the shoulder. "Go first."

After she left the door. Xue ronghua enters the room of Chu Zongge.

"This is your first time in my room," Chu Zongge lit a candle. Smiled at her, "do you want to light more candles?"

"No," Xue ronghua said in the dark room. Looking around by the faint candle light, I saw only a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and a desk full of books.

"Are you going to tell me about Princess Poyang? Why?" Chu Zongge took her hand and sat down. "I was nervous at the thought of going to the state of Qi?"

"I'm in a complicated mood now. I'm not just nervous," Xue ronghua thought, looking for a place to rely on. "I'm going to go back to my long lost hometown and the palace, where my parents, my brothers and my children were buried," she paused. "I'm also buried myself."

Chu Zongge comfortingly touched her head, "don't be afraid. I'm here. Besides, how can Meng Qianchong and Su Rushuang not recognize you? You can rest assured and go boldly to get your own justice."

"With you by my side, I'm half relieved," Xue ronghua kissed his side face. "How's Princess Poyang preparing?"

"She asked Xiang He to come back for a while, and the double was ready."

Xue ronghua tilted his head and asked, "you said that the princess has even prepared the doubles. She won't directly let the doubles go into the sedan chair and stay in the palace."

Chu Zongge was stunned and immediately said with a smile, "that's impossible. Even if she stays in the palace, isn't she afraid to be found by others? The emperor has questioned her blood and insisted on sending her to the state of Qi. She's afraid she can stay in the state of Qin again."

"Alas," Xue ronghua sighed faintly, "Princess Poyang is really poor. The father who put her on the tip of his heart suddenly wants to send her to a place thousands of miles away. The princess is also very unhappy."

"In fact, the relationship between the princess and the emperor is not so close. The princess always sees the emperor's cold-blooded ruthlessness in her eyes, but has to be a little daughter by virtue of her grace," said Chu Zongge, "The princess looks like Mrs. Heyi, and the Emperor just looks for the shadow of the deceased on her. In this way, how can this fragile father daughter relationship not be broken by the former queen."

Xue ronghua said sadly in his eyes, "no wonder the princess didn't even feel sad. She immediately set out to find a substitute to marry."

"The princess is looking for Zhao Jieyu's sister, Zhao Qingyao."

Xue ronghua was stunned. "Does that Jieyu know?"

"How could Jieyu know that Zhao Qingyao was cheated by the princess," Chu Zongge looked at her. "Jieyu's sister originally wanted to enter the palace and become a palace concubine, but she didn't expect to be a concubine of the state of Qi."

"I heard from imperial concubine Fu that day that Meng Qianchong's harem was cold and not angry. Only imperial concubine Wan and imperial concubine Ru could reproduce for him. It can be seen that other imperial concubines have become victims of these two imperial concubines. Miss Zhao must be careful."

Chu Zongge took her hand and kissed her and said, "Meng Qianchong has not been much interested in the harem since the queen died. Now he still lives in the Donghua palace."

Xue ronghua's heart stagnated and coldly drew back his hand. "He made such gestures just to exchange for the reputation of an infatuated emperor. It's really artificial and disgusting."

Chu Zongge quickly coaxed, "I didn't mean to stimulate you, but if Meng Qianchong really wants to be heart to you, how should you deal with it?"

"Deal with?" Xue ronghua sneered again and again. "I don't want to deal with him whether he wants it or not. I just want to revenge and let him and Su Rushuang know the pain I suffered in those years."

Chu Zongge hugged her shoulder and gently comforted, "don't worry. You've been busy for years, and finally today."

"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Xue ronghua looked at the heavy night outside the window. "Meng Qianchong and Su Rushuang don't even think I can live in this world by borrowing other people's bodies."

The wedding dress sent by Zhao Jieyu is made of superior Shu brocade. The top is embroidered with silver thread, symbolizing auspicious peaches. The divine bird embroidered with gold thread runs through the whole wedding dress. There are peonies at the hem and neckline, not to mention noble and elegant.

"This divine bird can be embroidered very well," Chu Lingyun's fingertips lightly swept the wedding dress. "Mrs. Heyi was wearing such a dress when she entered the palace."

"Yes, the pattern of this divine bird will pass through with Mrs. Yi." Xiang he whispered.

Chu Lingyun hummed softly, "embroider well. What's the use? It's all going to be burned. You can do it quickly. Don't let anyone see it."

Xiang he received his wedding clothes and blessed his body. "I'm sure I'll do it well."

"Also, has Zhao Qingyao made arrangements?"

"The wedding dress has been sent, and she also accepted it, indicating that she would come early."

Chu Lingyun was silent for a long time and asked, "does Jieyu know she will come back tomorrow?"

"When the maidservant left yesterday, the palace maid beside her said that she should tell Jieyu."

Chu Lingyun hesitated and said, "Jieyu won't do bad things, will she?"

"I don't think so. Jieyu didn't expect it."

Chu Lingyun nodded reassuringly, "that's good. I'm afraid she'll see the clue and tell the emperor."

"Princess, you'd better go to bed early," Xiang He turned to make the bed. "You have to make good preparations tomorrow."

Chu Lingyun scattered his hair and glanced at the table. "Who sent the Carved Bird box?"

"This?" Xiang He took the wooden box. "This is from the prospective princess."

"The princess to be knew I wouldn't get married, and sent this over. It's really necessary to do a full set of drama," Chu Lingyun pulled the corners of her mouth and opened the box. "Is this yuruyi?"

"A pair of jade Ruyi will be attached to the dowry. What does this mean? It's expensive and shows style."

"Zhao Qingyao should like it very much," Chu Lingyun touched the cold and piercing jade Ruyi with a faint smile on her lips, "anyway, Jieyu prepared so much dowry for her sister."

"The princess's clothes and maidservants have been prepared. The princess can only be the prince's maidservant in the crowd."

Chu Lingyun nodded slightly and said, "if you stay in the palace, be careful. I'm afraid the emperor suspects your identity."

"Don't worry, princess. I'm going to be a palace maid in chenghuan hall, so as not to attract the emperor's attention."

Chu Lingyun raised her eyes, "the twin of imperial concubine Fu should be born. It's almost summer."

"Yes, after Fu Fei's mother gave birth, the maidservant immediately reported to the princess."

"I don't care much about this," Chu Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "just stay in the chenghuan palace. You don't have to send me a letter. The king will know everything in the palace."

Xiang he frowned and asked, "when is the princess going to come back?"

"I'll stay in the state of Qi for a while until Xinjun takes over the throne," Chu Lingyun slept comfortably in bed. "Then I'll be the eldest princess."

When Xiang he saw her happy appearance, his mood became lighter, "the slave maid is waiting for the princess."

"You have to be good in the palace, and then stare at whether Xirong has sent detailed works here," Chu Lingyun bowed his head and smiled at her. "We have been together for five years, and it's sad to be separated suddenly."

Xiang he smiled soothingly at her and said, "the princess doesn't have to be sad. My maidservant occasionally saw the emperor a few days ago and saw that he looked worse than usual. I'm afraid he didn't pay attention to his body when hanging out with the new imperial concubine every night. The new king's succession is just around the corner."

"The emperor's health is not good?" Chu Lingyun turned his eyes, and a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes. "Then he will have to hold on for a few more years. The child of empress Fu has not been born yet. If the son of Mrs. Heyi who has never loved him in his life succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid the guards in the imperial mausoleum can't hold down the lid of his coffin."

Xiang he covered his mouth and said with a smile, "don't let others hear the princess's words. It's a treacherous word."

"I don't know how many words I said, and I didn't see any of them," chulingyun sneered. "Just say that Duan Wang, what he thinks is the same as me. Is he a filial son?"

Xiang he helped her tuck in her quilt horn and said with a smile, "the princess should go to bed early today. Tomorrow, Miss Zhao will come and get her into the sedan chair."

Chu Lingyun nodded, turned over on the bed and closed her eyes wearily.

The emperor listened to Zhao Jieyu's even breathing sound beside him, determined that she had been busy for many days and had fallen asleep, so he opened the quilt and went down to bed with light hands and feet.

The old eunuch waited at the gate of the palace for a long time. He greeted him and asked respectfully, "is the emperor still going to the luanfeng palace?"

"It's a moonlit night with few stars," the emperor looked up at the night sky and put his hand behind his back. "Go and have a look. When the princess arrives in the state of Qi, I'll push down the palace and rebuild it."

The old eunuch nodded and helped the emperor to the sedan chair.

The emperor's body bumped with the sedan chair, but his fingers were counting the Buddha beads.

"Emperor, here is the luanfeng palace." the old eunuch whispered outside.

"HMM." the emperor hid the desolate color in his eyes and stepped down from the sedan chair with the arm of the old eunuch.

The luanfeng palace was shrouded in the night. He could only see the outline of the palace and thousands of willows flying in the wind.

"Have I planted too many willows in the palace?"

The old eunuch said with a smile, "the emperor likes to plant more willows. It's just that some women are not in good health and are easy to choke when smelling catkins."

The emperor took a faint look at the willow beside him and said, "in that case, cut some."

He kept walking all the way to the Luan and Phoenix Palace, which was probably the only ruins that could be preserved in the harem.

"Princess Poyang is leaving tomorrow."

"Yes," whispered the old eunuch, "why doesn't the emperor go to see the princess today?"
