Chapter 27

After leaving Chengqian Palace, Chu Shaoruan went to Linzhi Palace. Xu and Luo had already left. In the inner hall, Concubine Li leaned on the couch alone and was silently ecstatic. When she heard the palace master's news, Concubine Li was stunned. She looked up and saw Chu Shaoruan coming in, her face seemed to be a little angry.

Chu Shaoruan also knew that his mother was unstoppable and did not want to tell Concubine Li about the Chengqian Palace today, and said casually: "Is it okay for grandmother and aunt?"

It would be fine if Chu Shaoruan didn't say it. When he said this, Concubine Li felt even more uncomfortable. He had to discuss this with Chu Shaoruan. Concubine Li slowly told Chu Shaoruan what Xu had just said. Chu Shaoruan was also angry when he heard it. How could he hire Zhen Si to Chu Shaoling!

Chu Shaoruan and Zhen Si are about the same age. Although they have never said it clearly, the Zhen family and Concubine Li have been thinking about it before. Concubine Li was to help her parents assist Chu Shaoruan and to support her parents. If Chu Shaoruan became the crown prince once, wouldn’t Zhen Si be the crown prince’s concubine? Everyone was satisfied with such a good match and had a tacit understanding in their hearts. However, the prince’s marriage was only the emperor and the queen could not tell her. Concubine Li couldn’t speak and never mentioned it. Now, in order to disrupt the marriage between Chu Shaoling and the Ling family’s daughter, it is even more impossible to mention it.

Chu Shaoruan knew these things. Originally, he didn't have much thought about Zhen Si, but it was one thing that he didn't like it, and it was another thing that gave it to Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoruan couldn't help but feel hatred for robbing his wife, and the morning affairs were in the same place. He hated: "Chu Shaoling! Don't let him fall into my hands again! I missed the last time. When I look forward to the opportunity, I will definitely keep his body alive!"

When talking about the last incident, Concubine Lai felt even more painful and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now. Siya is good. But now your grandfather's family has lost power and it is useless to marry her. My mother knows your marriage and will definitely not be wronged. Let's not talk about these things for now. Now that your grandfather has entrusted me with this matter, I am worried about how to tell your father!"

Marrying Zhen Si is useless to him. Chu Shaoruan also understood that it was not good to swallow it in his heart and said, "So what if you lose power? At worst, I can marry her as my concubine!"

"Ruan'er!" Concubine Li was already upset, and was even more upset by Chu Shaoruan. "When is it now? Isn't this all for you?! If one day a great thing is done, what do you want?"

Chu Shaoruan sighed deeply, suppressed his anger, and said for a while: "My son knows that he is wrong. How did my grandmother tell her mother? My mother tells me carefully."

Seeing that his son's face was normal, Concubine Li felt a little relieved. Chu Shaoruan could still take on major events. Concubine Li pulled Chu Shaoruan down and sighed: "What is your grandfather's meaning? The queen is gone. The eldest prince's marriage will naturally be based on the emperor's wishes. Your father is not happy to see the eldest prince getting closer and closer to the Zijun Marquis' Mansion. Compared to the Ling family, marrying your grandfather's daughter can reassure your father."

Concubine Li gently caresses the golden phoenix and treasure on her temples, sneering: "The Ling family is just being smart. Not to mention that this marriage cannot be accomplished, it will be done. How many men will they like the daughters raised by their family? Queen Ling is an example. I don't know if I can teach her a lesson or raise her daughter as a Bodhisattva!" Every time she mentions Emperor Ling, Concubine Li can't help but laugh at her, and then said, "The emperor has me to say, but the most difficult thing is..."

Chu Shaoruan closed her eyes: "The Queen Mother."

Concubine Li nodded: "It's true, fortunately, the Empress Dowager's mother's family does not have a daughter of the right age. She is either grown up and married or is less than ten years old. Otherwise, the old empress dowager would have to be moved. However, the empress dowager is close to the husband of Zijun and must have a contradictory tune with us. The most difficult thing now is here."

When it comes to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Li was still timid. Since she entered the palace, she was beaten by the Empress Dowager many times, but she couldn't get any benefits. When she remembered that she wanted to argue with the Empress Dowager, Concubine Li was very worried.

Chu Shaoruan thought for a while and smiled: "Mother, don't worry, I have a way to do this."

In the evening, Concubine Li did tell the emperor about this matter. Concubine Li was not stupid enough to mention it directly, but pretended to be careless and smiled at the emperor: "My mother and sister-in-law came this morning. After saying something for a while, my mother now has no other worries. She is just very anxious about her children's affairs and urges me to ask the emperor to marry Ruan'er early, otherwise it would be better to marry a concubine. The old man is anxious to make the emperor hug his grandson."

The emperor didn't care much and smiled: "The old lady is anxious."

Prince Li poured a cup of tea and served it with both hands. His hands were as well-maintained as water onions. He carefully drew peony flowers with golden powder on his nails. It was extremely delicate. The emperor took the tea and held Prince Li's hand and gently chased her. Prince Li's face turned red and laughed softly: "No, my mother is anxious. Older people like to worry about this. Ruan'er is still younger and the eldest prince is the eldest, so there must be more people thinking about it. Recently, I always heard the wife of the imperial edict mention how good the daughter of the Zijunhou's house is. I think that the old man is thinking about the same, and Zijunhou must also be worried about hugging his great-grandson!"

When the emperor heard this, his face turned a little lighter and said, "I have never heard of what you women say in your boudoir."

"The emperor has so many major affairs to worry about every day, how can we know about this?" Li Fei chuckled, "I also want to praise him. Mr. Zi is very careful in raising his daughter. He specially invited the nanny who had served the queen to serve as a nanny for their daughter. The ladies talked to me for a long time, and they all laughed and said, "Did Mr. Zi want to raise a queen?"

The emperor let go of Concubine Li's hand, his face darkened, and said lightly: "Mr. Zi is really interested..."

Concubine Li saw that the emperor was already uncomfortable, and she was secretly happy and frightened: "Emperor... I have just talked nonsense, but I don't know what's wrong and made the emperor unhappy..."

The emperor smiled: "It's nothing, I just thought... it's time to see Ling'er Xiang for a good daughter."

Concubine Li chuckled: "Isn't it ready in front of me? I'm afraid the eldest prince knows the matter about the Zijun Hou Mansion, and the eldest prince must like it."

The emperor smiled faintly: "The marriage is always followed by the orders of the matchmaker, even the Tian family is the case. They don't care whether Ling'er likes or not."

Concubine Li heard the emperor's implicit meaning and knew that the purpose had been achieved, so she no longer deliberately reminded him. The emperor was suspicious and said something more would make him feel too worried. Concubine Li stopped and said something else to change.

At the same time, Chu Shaoling was holding a lamp in Bitao Garden and looked at the mouth of Wei Ji carefully. Wei Ji sat on the couch and opened his mouth wide, saying vaguely: "Your Highness... is it still swollen?"

Chu Shaoling put down the lamp and rubbed Wei Ji's slightly sour cheeks, and chuckled: "It's not swollen anymore, it's much better than yesterday, I guess it'll be better tomorrow."

Wei Ji's teeth didn't hurt much today and he was energetic. He smiled and remembered that Chu Shaoling said he wanted to take him to Qianshou Palace. He tentatively said, "Your Highness, when can I go to the palace? I... I asked Eunuch Wang today, and Eunuch Wang said that Qianshou Palace is your favorite palace." Wei Ji didn't want to go to the palace to enjoy it, but he instinctively wanted to get close to the place Chu Shaoling liked.

After all, it was a young man's character. Wei Ji is no longer as reserved as before in front of Chu Shaoling, and occasionally acts like this inadvertently. Chu Shaoling rewarded him and kissed Wei Ji's forehead and chuckled: "I'll go the day after tomorrow, and I'll wait for you to be so quick."

Wei Ji hurriedly said, "I am already ready!"

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "I have no good intentions for you. Do you know? You dare to look at me again..."

"Your Highness!" Wang Muhan walked into the inner room of the bedroom and whispered behind the screen, "Let's hear the rain have something to report to your highness."

Chu Shaoling rubbed the head of the Wei Ji: "If you are sleepy, go to bed first, I'll go."

Chu Shaoling put on his robe and came out. Wang Muhan hurriedly approached and whispered: "Tingyu is really listening. Let me tell Your Highness tightly, that your Highness will make plans early."

"It's a good plan." Chu Shaoling sneered, "I understand. I don't have to make plans. Let them make trouble. I'll just watch the show."

After receiving the letter, Wang Muhan became angry and anxious. Unexpectedly, his master was not very concerned. Chu Shaoling had always been an idea, and Wang Muhan did not dare to say too much, so he had to retreat.

Chu Shaoling was already calculating in his heart, but he was still funny. The Zhen family was really cruel this time. He dared to send his daughter to him like that. Aren’t he afraid of being eaten alive by himself?
