Chapter 224: The Daughter of the Minister of War
Concubine Shu held her son's hand and explained to him gently: "He dares to do this now, only because he has your father's tacit consent! If you go to complain to your father, it will offend your father! He might be furious!"
"Don't you remember the last time you were confined for reflection?"
"Chu Heng and the others are not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Is it your turn to be anxious?"
Chu Xing couldn't refute.
After holding it in for a while, he said in a low and fierce voice: "I just don't want to see him get better!"
"You're not the only one who doesn't want to, I don't know how many people don't want to!"
"But since ancient times, those who have been able to accomplish great things have always been very patient."
Chu Xing was tired of hearing this kind of rhetoric.
He didn't want to hear a word, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother.
"Okay, mother, I understand. Please don't say any more." There was some impatience in his tone.
How could Concubine Shu be in a good mood when she saw him like this?
"Don't leave the palace recently. Mother will find a wife for you. Finally, there is a girl that Mother likes very much."
"Oh? Which girl does mother like?" Chu Xing then slightly diverted his attention.
"Your aunt's niece. Her family is an official in the Ministry of Works. The girl's father is the deputy of the Minister of Works, and she will most likely take over the position of the Minister of Works in the future."
"When the time comes, your aunt will say a few good words to your uncle. With the support of the General's Mansion and the Ministry of Industry, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in the future."
Thinking of his iron-faced uncle, Chu Xing became somewhat skeptical of his mother's words.
He didn't want to hear about those identities anymore, his mother would arrange it anyway.
He only cared about one question: "Mother, what does the girl look like?"
Concubine Shu laughed. As long as he didn't focus so much on Chu Yan, she would have a way: "Xing'er, don't worry. Mother is choosing a wife for you. The first choice must be dignified and dignified, so that she can be worthy of this palace's Xing'er!"
"So when can we meet?"
"Tomorrow, mother will ask your aunt to bring the person into the palace. You can watch from the dark then." Concubine Shu knew that she had to make arrangements quickly so that she could divert her attention a little.
"it is good."
"Just apply the medicine today and have a good rest, so that the thing at the corner of your mouth will disappear quickly!" Concubine Shu advised.
"I know!"
"Mother, is Chu Heng also selecting a concubine?"
"Yes, the queen chose the daughter of the Lin family for him."
"She wants to win over the Ministry of War. That's a good plan. But Lord Lin may not agree." The Concubine sneered.
"He is the crown prince now. Isn't Lord Lin afraid of angering them?"
"Lord Lin is not afraid of him. He has earned his position as the Minister of War. He is a minister that the Emperor values very much."
"It's not that easy for the queen to win over!"
Concubine Shu was already waiting to see the Queen get slapped in the face.
"Why don't you try to win him over, mother?" Chu Xing sat up.
"Mother knows she can't pull it."
"Besides, your uncle already has a large army under his command, we can win over others."
"Mother is wise!"
"Intelligence is only useful if you are obedient! Don't think about Chu Yan recently, think about your own life first." Concubine Shu said.
"I understand, son." Chu Xing quickly agreed.
Otherwise, if his mother said those words again, he would have a terrible headache.
In the afternoon, Shen Yindi, Si Qi and Chu Yun came to the store.
Chu Yan did not follow. He had his own things to do now and no longer stuck to Shen Yindi all the time.
He doesn't have enough people around him now, so he needs to do some things himself. He can't just sit and wait. It's too passive.
Mu Ningyuan also returned to the Dali Temple. He still had a lot of official business to attend to.
Someone has already sent Chu Yun's letter to Miss Lin.
He is Mu Ningyuan's confidant, but outsiders do not know his identity.
Normally when Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are the only ones in the store, the store usually closes at noon and is not open all day.
Although Shen Yindi brought them to the store, she did not intend to open the door.
Mainly, I wanted to make something new for them to eat.
They just bought some fruit at the market.
Shen Yindi prepared some fruit salad for them, which was simple and convenient.
Add some pastries and a cup of milk tea, and it would be very pleasant.
"Adi, let's come over and open the store tomorrow morning. I'll help."
“I can also learn to make milk tea!”
"Okay." Shen Yindi naturally agreed to her request.
Not long after returning from the store, Miss Lin actually came to see Chu Yun in person.
This meeting was a bit unexpected.
Chu Yun didn't expect that she would come to her in person.
It was not yet time for dinner, so they sat in the yard talking and chatting, and Chu Yan had not returned yet.
"Ms. Lin, why did you come here in person?" Chu Yun hurriedly came forward.
Shen Yindi and Si Qi also stood up and observed Miss Lin calmly.
I heard Chu Yun say before that she was only sixteen years old. But her height was about the same as theirs. Maybe she took after her father.
Shen Yindi felt that women in ancient times matured quite precociously, and at the age of sixteen, there was no trace of childishness on her face.
She has a good temperament, is graceful and elegant, and her speech and behavior are not pretentious.
As expected, since her father is a military general, her daughter will still be somewhat influenced by him.
"Princess, I have something to tell you about A Yao. I just entered the palace a few days ago and went to visit A Yao. She is not in good condition now."
Chu Yun's face changed slightly when she heard this: "What's wrong with her? Is she sick?"
"I don't know if I'm sick or what, but I feel pain in my chest all day long. I've lost a lot of weight recently."
"Have you consulted the imperial physician?"
"I secretly found Doctor Xu, and he did prescribe two doses of medicine for her. He just said that it was because of depression, and advised her to relax."
"You also know that her mother passed away last year, which was a big blow to her. Alas..." Miss Lin sighed.
Chu Yun subconsciously looked at Shen Yindi, with expectation and pleading in her eyes.
Shen Yindi naturally understood what she meant.
She said soothingly, "Sister Yun, don't worry. I will go to the palace to see her tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Adi."
"Princess, who are these two...?"
Shen Yindi still had scar makeup on her face. This was something she was used to doing every morning after getting up and sitting in front of the dressing table. She didn't find it a bother at all.
Si Qi thought it was fun and asked her to draw two lines on the corners of his eyes.
"This is Shen Yindi, the wife of the third prince Chu Yan, and this is Si Qi. We are good friends."
"Adi's medical skills are very advanced, and she saved my life. She will go to visit Ayao tomorrow, and she will definitely be able to find a way."
"So it's the famous Princess Zhenbei. I've heard of you for a long time!" Miss Lin clasped her fists.
Shen Yindi raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Am I famous? Where did Miss Lin hear about it?"
"To be honest, Your Highness, my father often mentioned you."
Shen Yindi was completely stunned.
"I don't know your father, do I?"
