Chapter 219: 219 Imperial Edict (Third Update)
Chapter 219 Imperial Edict (Third update)
Outside the window, the autumn wind blew slowly, swaying the branches and leaves, dancing with the drizzle in the air.
It rained continuously all night long.
After the emperor issued the edict of sin, his "sickness" became more serious.
Prince Gu Nanjin was busy cleaning up the emperor's mess. When he was not busy with government affairs, he immediately ordered the imperial envoy to go to the northwest with the imperial edict to commend Qin Yao, let him take the title of Nanyang King, and officially put Bingzhou Guard under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Prince's Palace.
In addition, the imperial edict for Gu Jue was also sent to Prince Chen's Mansion.
The imperial edict stated that as long as the Northern Army could capture Ding Ling Country, it would treat Ding Ling Country as Gu Jue's fiefdom.
Finally, there was a mention in the imperial edict, saying that King Chen had fought for the country for many years and had done a lot of hard work, so he should be honored and raised, and there was no need to go to the fiefdom.
The implication is that Gu Jue must stay in the capital and is not allowed to go to the fiefdom.
After Chu Qianchen finished reading the imperial edict, he casually threw the bright yellow imperial edict with auspicious cloud patterns on the Arhat's bed with a very casual attitude.
When Amber received the first imperial edict, she would still treat it like a god. Now she has become accustomed to it and feels that the imperial edict is just an official document.
As for the little black cat, when Chu Qianchen threw it away, its eyes lit up. He thought she was playing with him, so he jumped towards the imperial edict and caught it under his claws.
Huh? !
The little black cat felt that the lines on the imperial edict felt good to the touch, so he sharpened his claws with it with great interest, "chachacha", and within two strokes, the imperial edict was scratched.
"Yueying, can I give this to you to play with?" Chu Qianchen smiled briskly.
Of course she also knew that the emperor would not let the prince go so easily, and would definitely hold back.
This is a given.
"Meow!" The little black cat responded by continuing to scratch the imperial edict with its paws, expressing its joy.
"Our Yueying is so good!"
Chu Qianchen touched its back and smiled brightly. The smile couldn't stop overflowing from his eyes, full of contentment, joy and understanding.
There are some things that can't be done just because the emperor doesn't want to.
She tilted her little face, which was obviously a delicate look, but it made people feel chilled for no reason. Next to her, Aunt Cai looked at the imperial edict that had become a cat toy, and silently shed tears of sympathy for the emperor.
Aunt Cai continued to report the affairs in the house: "Princess, Zhu Xiufang sent the last set of autumn clothes today. In the past two days, they have started making winter clothes."
While Chu Qianchen listened, he picked up the half-finished embroidery work from the embroidery basket.
Hearing Aunt Cai talk about winter clothes, Chu Qianchen remembered something and said: "Aunt Cai, tell the manager of Sui Dynasty to stock up on more charcoal this winter."
She remembered that this winter would be very cold, and it would be a long cold winter.
In her previous life, she was kicked out of the Hou Mansion in the winter of this year, and her mother also died in the winter of this year.
Although it had been more than ten years apart, when she thought about it now, she felt that her memory was still fresh.
Chu Qianchen's eyes darkened slightly and he continued to work on his embroidery work.
Because she was holding the unfinished robe in her hand, others only thought she was thinking about Gu Jue.
Aunt Cai sighed in her heart and scolded the emperor: This young couple is newly married, but the prince has to travel far away. The emperor is really harmful to people!
The princess is really not simple, even if the prince is not there, she doesn't panic.
Externally, he can control the emperor; internally, he can handle the internal affairs of the palace.
No matter what she does, the princess learns very quickly. For example, as the middle minister of the palace, when the prince first left, she was still ignorant, but now she is decent.
Aunt Cai looked at Chu Qianchen with a gentle smile, and after reporting some of the seasonal fruits and vegetables that Zhuangzi recently sent, she left.
Chu Qianchen slowly sewed the edges of the cuffs.
She sewed slowly, with even stitches.
The Zhizhi she has on hand has already been made to perfection. At first she was a handicap, but in the past few days, she has become much more proficient, and she has also picked up a lot of the craftsmanship from her previous life.
The most obvious thing is that her fingers have not been pricked by an embroidery needle today.
Chu Qianchen felt that she had made a lot of progress, but Amber was worried, always afraid that Chu Qianchen would **** her again, so she said without leaving a trace: "Princess, please see that in two days, this dress will be finished."
The meaning of Amber's words is that the prince hasn't come back yet anyway, so the princess can take it a little slower.
But Chu Qianchen shook his head, "I'm so slow, I will definitely not be able to make it in two days."
However, although she is slow, she can do her job well before the prince comes back!
amber:"…"
"The prince said, the stupid bird flies first, I have to hurry up." Chu Qianchen said again seriously. Amber repeated without saying anything: "Your Majesty, you said that the stupid bird flew first?"
Amber feels that this world is simply fantasy. The princess is such a smart person, but the prince still calls her a "stupid bird"?
Chu Qianchen said "hmm" sweetly.
In fact, this sentence was said to her by the prince in his previous life.
At that time, she cheered up because of the prince's words. Except for sleeping time, she studied every day, eager to learn all kinds of knowledge.
These hardships later became warm memories.
Chu Qianchen smiled with curved lips and soft brows, like a goddess.
Amber stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly an idea flashed through her.
Wait, "Stupid Bird" isn't a boudoir love story between the prince and the princess, right?
Amber felt that the truth was revealed. At this time, Chu Qianchen cut off the thread, looked up at her and asked, "Tell me, what should I embroider on my clothes? What is the fashion in Beijing these days?"
Amber quickly helped Chu Qianchen thread the needle and said: "Baoxianghua, peacock pattern, crane piercing cloud pattern..."
As she spoke, she motioned to the little maid to get some patterns, "Princess, look, these were given to the slaves by Zhuxiufang not long ago. They said they are popular patterns in the south of the Yangtze River."
The proprietress of Zhu Xiufang gave the flowers to Amber and the others, so she naturally wanted to please them. It was a token of her sincerity, and it was not valuable. It was not considered a bribe, and it was just a good way to build a good relationship.
Chu Qianchen looked at it with interest.
The flowers of Zhu Xiufang are really good. The patterns are novel and unique, bright and colorful. For example, the branch pattern and the fish pattern complement each other, and the whole pattern has its own style.
Chu Qianchen looked at it for a while and shook his head, "It's so beautiful."
Not suitable for the prince.
The prince prefers plain and low-key colors and patterns.
"I'd better draw it myself." Chu Qianchen said to himself, "What should I draw? Cloud patterns, moon patterns..."
The little black cat, which was concentrating on sharpening its claws, stopped, let out a "meow", then stretched its body, raised its buttocks, stretched out gracefully and lazily, and raised its black tail high.
Chu Qianchen conveniently stroked the cat's tail. The cat meowed unhappily because it didn't like people touching the tip of its tail.
At this time, Jiang Yuan opened the curtain and came in expressionlessly.
Jiang Yuan usually has this dead face with neither joy nor sorrow, and Amber is used to it, but from the slightly faster steps of the other party, it can be seen that he must have something to say.
really-
"Princess, Marquis Yongding was in the prison where he 'died to clarify his ambition'. He hit the wall and injured his head." Jiang Yuan reported.
She didn't show any special expression on her face, but she was still a little worried in her heart. After all, no matter how smart and calm a person is, they are always easily disturbed by emotions when it comes to issues related to their loved ones.
Chu Qianchen took the little black cat over, smoothed its fur, and said casually: "He's not dead, right?"
She used questions, but her expression and tone were very determined, knowing that Chu Lingxiao was definitely not dead.
After two lifetimes, Chu Qianchen still believed that Chu Lingxiao would not dare to die.
In his mind, how could his title be more important than his life? He was probably just pretending.
Or, to show the emperor that he has no other intentions?
Unfortunately, Chu Lingxiao's wishful thinking was about to come to nothing.
He was not very keen on government affairs. He thought that it was enough for a former scholar to show off like this to let the emperor know that he was loyal, but he didn't know that this was a way of painting a tiger instead of a dog.
To the emperor, it didn't matter whether Chu Lingxiao was loyal or not.
His existence is nothing more than a pawn.
What happens to the chess pieces depends on the master's wishes.
Chu Qianchen's face was calm, his eyes were bright, and there was no wave in his eyes.
If she still had a little bit of father-daughter love for Chu Lingxiao in her last life, now that she has gone through all the things in this life, it is gone.
The little black cat was quickly coaxed by Chu Qianchen and purred.
Jiang Yuan also looked at the little black cat and replied thoughtfully: "It's not dead yet."
