Chapter 339: 339 turn against each other

Chapter 339 Chapter 339 Rebellion

When Chu Qianchen came back, Gu Jue was lazily leaning on the beauty's couch with his eyes closed and dozing off. The warm afternoon sun shone on him through the glass window, coating him with a beautiful layer of gold powder.

The black cat curled up into a round, fluffy black ball next to him, bathing in the sun and sleeping with him, its fur shiny and smooth.

Hearing the sound of the door curtain being opened, Gu Jue opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Chu Qianchen. His long and narrow eyes were half-closed, bent in a shallow arc, and the inner corners of his eyes were raised inward. The ends of the eyes are very long and slightly raised upward, as if they were carefully outlined by a master's hand in painting.

Chu Qianchen curled his lips and smiled, quickened his pace, and lay down on the beauty's couch.

This beauty's bed was not big to begin with, but as soon as she lay down on it, it suddenly became crowded, squeezing the cat's space.

The black cat opened his eyes lazily and glanced at her. He could only yawn and adjust his sleeping position, turning himself into a long shape, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Chu Qianchen was used to reporting what he had seen today to Gu Jue when he returned home, and told him about the scandalous things about the Chu family and Kang Hongda.

This incident was not bizarre at first. In Gu Jue's position, he had heard of more outrageous and dirty things, but this time, Gu Jue felt angry.

Previously, when Jiang Yuan came to ask for the appointment letter on Chu Qianchen's order, Gu Jue didn't even ask about the cause and effect and just ordered Chang Shi to do it. Only then did he know the whole story.

His well-raised little girl, who wished he could hold her in his hands, heard these dirty things inexplicably.

Gu Jue couldn't help but raised his hand and touched her right ear, then rubbed it.

Her ears were flawless and white, as small and exquisite as shells. Only the earlobes were fleshy, and in the sunlight, the thin hairs on her ears appeared translucent.

Chu Qianchen blinked, thought for a while, and raised his hand to touch his ears, which warmed his cold earlobes.

While rubbing his ears, she asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do if my mother and Chu Lingxiao reconcile and she wants to take Brother Mu away?"

Gu Jue said matter-of-factly: "Then the Chu family has to 'take the initiative' to give it."

Reconciliation is simple, but it is not so simple for Shen and Chu Lingxiao to reconcile and take away the only legitimate son of her husband's family. They have to find another way.

"Yeah." Chu Qianchen responded and nodded.

This matter is troublesome in terms of "degree". You have to put pressure on the Chu family, but it has to be just right, and you can't force the other party to be willing to die...

While thinking, Chu Qianchen subconsciously leaned towards Gu Jue again.

"Meow!" The black cat, who was almost crushed into a cat cake by the two of them, became angry. After baring his teeth, he kicked off his hind legs, jumped up to the window sill, turned around and gave the two of them a look of contempt and disdain, and left. .

Gu Jue: "..."

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen's fingers crawled from Gu Jue's ears along the well-defined jawline to his chin. He had no beard and his chin seemed smooth, but when her fingertips were pressed against the skin of his chin like this , you can feel the thin stubble, which is itchy to the touch.

As if he had discovered some little secret, Chu Qianchen chuckled and said, "My lord, do you want to tell Brother Yi about Kang Hongda?"

In Chu Qianchen's opinion, this matter should be mentioned, so that Chu Yunyi can be prepared.

However, she knew Chu Yunyi's little brat's temperament. He was proud and awkward. If he knew that he had been abandoned by his relatives, it would be a huge blow to him. She was not sure whether he could hold on. After all, he Only twelve years old.

For the sake of his family and the title of the Chu family, Chu Yunyi risked his life.

Unlike her, she has lived two lives and no longer cares about these things. No matter what the Chu family does, they can't hurt her at all.

"Let Yunzhan talk." Gu Jue also imitated her movements, and his fingertips slid from her delicate and shiny ears to her chin, caressing the shallow pit on her chin, as gentle as a feather.

After all, Chu Yunyi is a boy and Chu Qianchen is the sister. It is not appropriate for her to say some words. And he didn't want his little girl to think about these dirty things all day long.

He added: "It's better for men to drink and talk."

"Yeah." Chu Qianchen responded obediently, feeling that it made sense.

Anyway, whatever the prince said makes sense!

Leaving the matter to the prince, Chu Qianchen suddenly felt relaxed, and added by the way: "Brother Mu and Brother Yi will live in the palace for a while." She squinted and smiled like a cunning little Fox, "I also left Brother Mu to Yun Zhan."

Chu Qianchen threw herself into Gu Jue's arms and giggled.

She has seen Yun Zhan take care of children, but he is much more patient than her.

In her previous life, Master Lin Miao once said that she looked sweet and gentle, but in fact she was full of thorns.

"That's good." Gu Jue also smiled, his voice low and mellow.

He stretched out his long arms, hugged her slender waist, and gently stroked her back with his palms.

She was surrounded by his warm breath, and her heart was hot. She adjusted her posture slightly, being careful not to touch the knife mark on his chest.

Chu Qianchen squinted his eyes and dozed off for a while, but he was woken up after not sleeping for a while.

"Ahem." Jingfeng coughed twice outside and said stiffly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

As soon as he heard the key word "prince", Chu Qianchen opened his eyes immediately, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his clear phoenix eyes.

Gu Jue rubbed the top of her head: "While you're asleep, I'll go see him."

Chu Qianchen agreed softly.

Gu Jue looked at her well-behaved look, with endless sweetness in his eyes. He bowed his head and kissed the tip of her chin before getting up from the beauty couch.

He straightened his appearance a little and went outside.

Chu Qianchen, who was lying in the inner room, turned over on the beauty's couch and watched Gu Jue go to the outer room. After a while, Gu Nanjin's familiar voice came from outside: "Uncle Nine Emperors, Haoren is leaving the capital the day after tomorrow. ”

Gu Jue didn't say anything and just drank tea by himself.

Gu Nanjin continued: "Gu has always suspected that Haoren compromised so easily on the matter of marriage exchange because he had ulterior motives. Gu originally wanted to keep Haoren for a while longer, but my father..."

Gu Nanjin sighed quietly and bowed to Gu Jue solemnly: "Please ask Uncle Nine Emperors for advice."

Gu Jue was still drinking tea and said nothing.

Gu Nanjin maintained his bowing posture, lowered his posture, and looked solemn.

Chu Qianchen in the inner room also heard Gu Nanjin's words. He frowned and stared at the curtain leading to the outer room. He felt that the prince did not regard himself as an outsider.

"Meow!"

The cat seemed to be echoing her, jumping lightly onto the window sill, looking around curiously, and then left again, chasing sparrows, playing with dogtail grass, running wildly on its own, and having a great time.

In early spring, white magnolia buds begin to bloom one after another on the treetops. They are white and flawless, like jade-carved lanterns. The air is filled with the fragrant fragrance of magnolia flowers.

The magnolia flowers from Prince Chen's Mansion to the entire capital were all in full bloom, white, pink, and purple... But everyone in the Yongding Marquis Mansion had no intention of admiring them. The atmosphere in the Marquis Mansion seemed to be still immersed in the cold winter.

Ever since Shen returned to Duke Mu's Mansion, there has been no peace in the Marquis' Mansion. Brothers Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu have been quarreling over the errand every day.

The madam had a headache every day. She was busy trying to stop fights every day, and was also busy helping the eldest son to persuade the second son to let Chu Lingyu put the Hou family first. No one in the family could persuade anyone, and they became a quarrel. They almost forgot about Chu Qian. Huang will leave with Andaman and the others soon.

Chu Qianhuang naturally knew what they were arguing about, but she couldn't care less. She felt a little bitter in her heart and packed her bags silently.

Her luggage has actually been packed, and she has just checked and filled in the gaps in the past two days.

Chu Qianhuang was just a concubine, and she could only carry a limited number of things with her. She had to reduce her luggage as much as possible, but the necessities could not be reduced.

Chu Qianhuang looked at the list again. Suddenly, the maid came to report that Aunt Jiang was here.

Aunt Jiang wore a willow-colored dark-patterned jacket and an emerald green threaded long skirt. These clothes were old clothes she had left in the Marquis Mansion. She had only worn them once or twice. They were 90% new, but the clothes were obviously loose. Quite a few.

Her oily black hair was pulled into a crescent bun, with a lotus gold hairpin inserted sideways, and powder was applied on her face to cover her sallow complexion. She looked completely different from when she returned to Beijing two days ago.

"Sister Huang," Aunt Jiang grabbed Chu Qianhuang's hand with one hand, took out a banknote from her arms with the other hand and gave it to her, "keep this. This is what I have saved so hard over the years. of."

She looked at Chu Qianhuang with tearful eyes, tears rolling down her face, and choked with sobs.

Holding the banknote that was slightly wrinkled by Aunt Jiang, Chu Qianhuang felt warm in her heart, as if a warm current was flowing through her, and she was a little moved.

"Sister Huang!" Aunt Jiang hugged Chu Qianhuang tightly, her slender body trembling, and said sadly, "I have wronged you! I am sorry for you!"

After a while, her choked voice sounded again: "I'm just an aunt, although your father and I were childhood sweethearts..."

As she spoke, she sobbed twice more, unable to continue speaking. She was sad and sad, with all kinds of tenderness and all kinds of grievances.

Even if Aunt Jiang stopped talking, Chu Qianhuang still understood what she had left to say.

She knew that Aunt Jiang was also very powerless. Aunt Jiang was just an orphan, helpless, without a father or brother to rely on. She could only watch her beloved being snatched away, and she could only suffer under the hands of Shen. The only way to live... can only accompany Chu Lingxiao to Youzhou when he is exiled.

The past ten years have not been easy for Aunt Jiang.

Chu Qianhuang felt uncomfortable and felt the same, and whispered: "Auntie, I understand."

Aunt Jiang's body trembled violently again, and then she continued: "Sister Huang, you are my first child. Back then..."

With that said, she let go of Chu Qianhuang, and the face full of tears came into Chu Qianhuang's eyes.

Tears appeared in Aunt Jiang's eyes again, her eyes were a little dazed, and her face showed warmth.

"I know that if you stay with me, you will only be a concubine. No matter how outstanding you are, you will be looked down upon by others. That's why...your father said at that time..."

"Hey, you have been wronged. It was all because of my impulse... Over the years, I have been heartbroken when I looked at you."

"Don't blame your father, I didn't stop him..."

Aunt Jiang's words were intermittent, and the implication was that it was Chu Lingxiao's idea to exchange the two children. She was too weak, and she allowed things to go wrong step by step.

She raised her hand, and her once smooth and delicate fingers were now rough, and she gently wiped Chu Qianhuang's white and moist face, stroking it gently, her fingers trembling, took a deep breath, and said: " Over the years, I have always looked at you... but dare not approach you. "

Chu Qianhuang felt depressed and a little touched by what Aunt Jiang said, and her eye circles began to turn red. She said again: "Auntie, I really understand."

"..." Aunt Jiang choked again, lowered her eyes sadly, held a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and a strange light flashed under her eyes.

Chu Qianhuang didn't notice at all. When Aunt Jiang started crying again, she hugged her gently.

The mother and daughter cuddled together, hugging each other and crying. Baoqin, who was watching from the side, also held a handkerchief and began to wipe away tears.

Aunt Jiang cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse: "I came back late. In the past few months, I have been worried in Youzhou, fearing that you would be... offended, and I was always worried that I couldn't eat. , can’t sleep at night.”

"But Youzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and there is no information. It is not easy to get some news about the capital. I only found out about you when I returned to the capital..."

As she spoke, tears rolled down again, and I felt pity for her.

Chu Qianhuang held a handkerchief and wiped Aunt Jiang's tears in person. The tears washed away some of the makeup, revealing the sallow skin under the makeup and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

In less than half a year, Aunt Jiang has aged so much.

Aunt Jiang used to be well-maintained and looked like she was in her early twenties, but now she is haggard and looks several years older than her actual age. Chu Qianhuang stared at Aunt Jiang without blinking, feeling as if there was a lump of air in her chest, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Aunt Jiang is obviously about the same age as Mr. Shen, but she has the same person but different destiny. She is not like a girl like Mr. Shen who spends her days pampering herself in the capital, maintaining her good looks, and her hands as smooth and delicate as if they were twenty-eight years old.

This world is so unfair!

Aunt Jiang took a deep breath, calmed her mind a little, and then said: "Sister Huang, you are leaving now. I am just a concubine and can't do anything. All I can do is give you my body. Although It’s not much. If you keep it well, it will definitely come in handy in the future.”

"Don't worry, when your brother grows up, you will be able to rely on him even in Nanhao."

Aunt Jiang held Chu Qianhuang's hand sincerely, as if she wanted to rip her heart out.

Chu Qianhuang looked at Aunt Jiang with emotion, thinking about Shen's partiality and Mrs. Tai's weakness, and felt that only her biological mother was sincerely good to her.

only…

Chu Qianhuang sighed quietly and said helplessly: "Auntie, Brother Yi is better to the second sister."

Since the incident of Yuan Qingguan's **** last year, Chu Yunyi had obviously become estranged from her, and the siblings had only spoken to each other in the past few months.

There was an indescribable feeling in Chu Qianhuang's heart. It was obviously Chu Yunyi who asked her to make the idea, and it was obvious that Chu Yunyi got what she wanted, but in the end it seemed like she had no good intentions.

Chu Qianhuang was a little absent-minded.

Aunt Jiang's eyes trembled briefly twice, and she consoled her with sincerity: "Sister Huang, you are the brothers and sisters of our compatriots!"

"Brother Yi was just coaxed by your second sister for a while, that is to say, she is better at pretending, but as time goes by, people's hearts will change. In the past, she always acted very filial in front of me, but what happened later?"

"Others say that cultivating kindness is better than generating kindness..."

Aunt Jiang said another sentence half-sighing and half-sentimentally, and then stopped talking, causing the listeners to speculate.

Chu Qianhuang pursed her lips and said nothing, thinking back to the time when Chu Qianchen was obedient and submissive to Aunt Jiang, and now she turned her back on her and refused to acknowledge her.

Aunt Jiang noticed the change in Chu Qianhuang's expression, the cold light in her eyes was fierce and gloomy, and continued: "Brother Yi is young and has a bad temper. Even the Imperial College...hey!"

She ended with a long sigh and said no more.

Baoqin's eyes turned red again when he heard this. He felt that it was not easy for his daughter and Aunt Jiang, but because the eldest young master was young and energetic, he was coaxed away by the second daughter, and instead became alienated from his real relatives.

Chu Qianhuang's lips pursed tighter. She also knew about Chu Yunyi's withdrawal from the Imperial College. Now when Aunt Jiang told her, she couldn't help but think: Could it be that Chu Qianchen instigated Chu Yunyi's withdrawal from the Imperial College?

Chu Qianhuang could only comfort Aunt Jiang: "Auntie, you also said that Brother Yi is still young. He is a promising person and can take the martial arts examination in the future."

"Mencius said: When Heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin..."

Chu Qianhuang explained to Aunt Jiang in a good voice.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiang's expression suddenly changed, her eyes widened, she held Chu Qianhuang's wrist tightly with one hand, and said with difficulty: "Children are a piece of flesh and blood that fell from the mother's body, how can I bear to look at Yi Brother suffers!”

"Brother Yi is suffering so much. Sister Chen is plotting against him. Even his second uncle is plotting against him..."

Aunt Jiang burst into tears as she spoke, like a magnolia flower whose branches were wet by the spring rain.

Thinking of Kang Hongda's crush on Chu Yunyi and the conversation he heard in Rongfu Hall that day, Chu Qianhuang's eyes were dazed and he pursed his lips subconsciously.

Aunt Jiang stared at Chu Qianhuang, her heart suddenly shrinking.

She immediately realized that Chu Qianhuang was also an insider!

The overwhelming hatred surged up in an instant, occupying Aunt Jiang's heart and eyes. Her chest heaved violently, as if it was about to explode.

On the day she just returned to Beijing, Aunt Jiang didn't know what happened, but she knew that brothers Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu had a heated argument over an errand. Aunt Jiang was not surprised by this, she was just curious about what kind of errand they were arguing about that even the Madam couldn't comfort.

In the past two days, Aunt Jiang had been serving Chu Lingxiao attentively, testing her again and again. Chu Lingxiao was also angry, so she set Kang Hongda's eye on Chu Yunyi, and Chu Lingyu and Kang Hongda secretly reached some insecurities. Talk about the suing agreement.

Chu Lingxiao angrily scolded Chu Lingyu, saying that he had no idea before returning to Beijing.

Aunt Jiang believed Chu Lingxiao's words. After all, she had seen Chu Lingxiao's uneasiness and tossing and turning on the way back to Beijing.

Aunt Jiang hated Chu Lingyu, and she also hated Mrs. Tai. She knew that both mother and son must have known about it and wanted to use her son to benefit the Chu family!

After a while, Aunt Jiang's emotions slowly subsided and she regained her composure, her dark eyes like a century-old ancient well.

"Your second uncle is so cruel!" Aunt Jiang picked up the handkerchief wet with tears again and pressed the corners of her eyes. Her eye circles became even redder. "I am useless. Not only can I not protect you, but I can't protect you either." I can’t protect Brother Yi.”

Speaking of her son, Aunt Jiang's grief came from her heart.

Chu Qianhuang felt Aunt Jiang's motherly heart, gently stroked her back, and said, "Auntie, my father is still here."

"Your father?" Aunt Jiang smiled sadly, with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Sister Huang, do you really believe that your father can protect you two siblings?"

Aunt Jiang has lived with Chu Lingxiao for twenty years. She spends more time on Chu Lingxiao than anyone else, and she understands him far better than anyone else.

Even if Chu Lingxiao avoided talking about it, she could guess that Chu Lingxiao must have had the idea of ​​using Chu Yunyi to trade with Kang Hongda.

For the sake of his title, Chu Lingxiao had nothing that he couldn't give up. It just depends on what he can do to get greater benefits for him.

After all, Chu Yunyi was not Chu Lingxiao's only son.

However, Chu Yunyi is her lifeblood.

No one can compare to her, and no one else can be trusted. Only her son is her biological son, and is her last source of support. No one else can ask for a royal title for her in the future.

Aunt Jiang knew very well that if Chu Yunyi wanted to inherit the title, she had to rely on Chu Lingxiao, so she didn't want to fall out with Chu Lingxiao.

However, she didn't want to let go of Chu Lingyu, the culprit.

"..." Faced with Aunt Jiang's rhetorical question, Chu Qianhuang was speechless and could not utter any unintentional words.

When her and Chu Qianchen's life experience was revealed, Chu Lingxiao was imprisoned and failed to protect her. Later, he was exiled to Youzhou and then returned to the capital.

The father and daughter have not had a chance to talk properly, but she knows that Aunt Jiang is right. If Chu Lingxiao really felt that she had been wronged, he should have come to her in the past two days.

Her father was very ruthless, which was why he had been able to walk between two women peacefully for so many years. Men, this has been the case since ancient times.

Aunt Jiang said softly: "Sister Huang, you are the only two siblings who are connected by blood and can rely on and support each other."

"You have watched Brother Yi grow up, don't you understand his temperament? If someone dares to bully you today, he will be the first person to rush to stand up for you!"

Thinking of the young man who was willing to take risks to keep his title, Chu Qianhuang nodded subconsciously, thoughtfully.

For her, even if she goes to the Hao Kingdom, it does not mean that she really has to completely cut off contact with Daqi. If she can rely on Daqi, she will have another way out in the future, and she will also be beaten in the Hao Kingdom. People take a look at it.

Yes, she was also stunned. During these days, she had resentment against the Shen family, but she had forgotten that Chu Yunyi was her younger brother and they were connected by blood. Even if he was coaxed away by Chu Qianchen, it was a temporary distraction. .

Since childhood, Chu Yunyi has been closer to her and more in tune with her!

Chu Yunyi treated others with sincerity. Even in her dream, he was a clean person.

In this prince's mansion, he is the most trustworthy person.

Chu Qianhuang held Aunt Jiang's hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, Brother Yi and I will definitely support each other."

"That's good! That's good!" Aunt Jiang kept saying, finally bursting into tears and laughing, her bright eyes red and swollen from crying, "You have always been smart and have the best ideas. Aunt Jiang has been so worried that she can't sleep at night these days. It's really I have no choice but to ask you for an idea."

"Did you know that your second sister said that she wanted your second uncle to go to Youzhou to take the blame for your father, and she also took an errand from the Military Selection and Cleaning Department of the Ministry of War to win over your father?"

Chu Qianhuang understood it after thinking about it for a moment.

Chu Qianchen clearly wanted the brothers Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu to turn against each other over this. What Chu Lingxiao wanted was not just an errand, but also the title of Marquis of Yongding.

If Chu Lingxiao really gets his title back, it is conceivable that from now on he will lean towards Chu Qianchen and alienate himself!

It would be even more inappropriate to let Chu Lingyu inherit the title. He and his second aunt Liu were as narrow-minded as needlepoints. When the day came for Chu Lingyu to inherit the title, the first person to be suppressed would be the eldest son.

Therefore, it is best to give the title to Chu Yunyi, so that she will be the sister of Marquis Yongding.

Chu Qianhuang pondered for a moment before saying: "Don't worry, aunt, I will think of a way."

Chu Qianhuang didn't say anything to death. There are still many uncertain factors in this matter. For example, the Shen family is now making peace with Chu Lingxiao, and even Chu Yunmu will be taken away. If it is true, , Chu Yunyi lost a competitor, and she was worried that Shen was using retreat to advance.

Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, if Chu Yunyi knew what she had done for him, he would at least accept her sister's love.

"Sister Huang, don't be too embarrassed." Aunt Jiang held Chu Qianhuang's hand and looked into her eyes and said, "I know you are going to Nanhao soon, and it will not be easy for you."

"I just want you to give me an idea..."

Aunt Jiang spoke incoherently and bit her lower lip slightly. She was so fragile, so nervous, so panicked, but she also revealed the tenacity of being a mother.

"Auntie, don't worry." Chu Qianhuang raised his arms and hugged Aunt Jiang again, gently patting her thin back.

Aunt Jiang's chin rested on Chu Qianhuang's right shoulder, and her face changed in an instant.

That beautiful oval face was expressionless, as if covered with a layer of frost. Her eyes were deep and boundless, filled with a kind of determination that was inevitable, as if everything was under her control.

I don’t know when a drizzle fell outside the window, which wetted the magnolia flowers on the branches. The raindrops on the jade-like petals were like round crystals.

The ground gradually became wet with drizzle.

When Aunt Jiang came, she didn't hold an umbrella. When she left, it was Chu Qianhuang who held the umbrella herself and sent her back to her yard.

After that, Chu Qianhuang did not return to her Yuelu Courtyard, but went out alone in a carriage.

Now that Shen is not in the Hou Mansion and is about to leave, Chu Qianhuang no longer has to be secretive and secretive, and takes the initiative to go to the post house to ask for an audience with the Prince of Andaman.

Andaman didn't expect Chu Qianhuang to come and was a little surprised, but he still had her led to the pavilion in the yard.

The drizzle was still falling, neither getting heavy nor stopping. The rainwater made a rustling sound on the bamboo poles in the courtyard.

"Miss Chu, please sit down." Andaman asked Chu Qianhuang to sit down. His brown eyes seemed to be smiling. Underneath the smile, there was unhidden shrewdness and sharpness.

The two sat across a stone table in the pavilion, facing each other.

A boy served tea, and Andaman smiled and invited Chu Qianhuang to drink tea without asking her why she came. Thinking about it, he knew that she would not come to him to drink tea with nothing to do.

Facing the wise man, Chu Qianhuang directly stated his purpose: "Your Majesty, we are leaving Beijing soon. I am worried about my brother. I have something to ask your Majesty for help."

Andaman: “…”

Andaman sighed and started Tai Chi with Chu Qianhuang in embarrassment: "Miss Chu, this is the territory of Daqi after all. There is an old saying in the Central Plains: A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."

Chu Qianhuang didn't know that Andaman was just trying to push him away, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince, I won't let you help in vain."

In the past, Andaman would not have believed the arrogance of such a little girl, but after seeing the power of the new bow, he looked at the noble lady in front of him somewhat differently, and patiently waited for the other party to come up with conditions.

Chu Qianhuang said confidently: "Although Hao Kingdom is located in the south and is the hometown of rice and fish, droughts have occurred frequently in various states in recent years and food is insufficient. I know a crop that can produce eight hundred catties per mu. I wonder if the prince has any interest?"
