Chapter 334: The imperial concubine (3)

After entering the palace, the original owner shrank in his Taihe palace to live. With the position of the imperial concubine, no one would treat her harshly, so she never made any request from the family, and the family wanted to help. Now that Chu Xiang said to let the family help, Madam Chu was surprised at the same time, she also felt joy in her heart, and asked her what she needed.
Chu Xiang thought for a while, and said: "I made the contribution to save the driver this time. The emperor's attitude towards me has softened a lot, and the Fourth Concubine will definitely take action. Furthermore, I will enter a newcomer in the palace in the future, even if I don't argue. You cannot be framed and used, so the people around you must be extremely appropriate."
Madam Chu immediately understood what she meant, "How many people do you want me to send in?" She glanced at the door, and whispered sharply, "Is there something wrong with Qingzhu and the others?"
Chu Xiang shook his head and smiled, "No, mother, don't be nervous, Qingzhu and the others are very good, but they are very kind, and they don't have any scheming. If they are against those who are careful and think too much, they are afraid they will suffer or be used by others. I I plan to send Qingzhu out of the palace to take care of some properties for me, and my mother will send me some clever people. I want to change the people from Taihe Palace."
Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this reason, and immediately agreed. It was a small election right away, choosing some reliable people from the Chu family's servants and sending them to the palace, and then leaving their families in the Chu family for a long time. As an imperial concubine, it was easy for Chu Xiang to find a way to deploy a few palace members. This matter was easy to handle.
Madam Chu noticed the "industry" mentioned in Chu Xiang’s words, and wondered: "The mother did not join in the money in the palace? She was negligent. Later, when the reward was sent home, the mother asked someone to bring the money. Come in for you..."
Chu Xiang held her hand, interrupted her, and said with a smile: "Mother, I don't lack money now. I just plan ahead and want to plan for the future. By the way, there is a good place to settle Qingzhu and the others. Don't chill them. My heart. If I can make more money, then both I and my family will be able to relax, isn’t that great?"
As for losing money, Chu Xiang never thought about it. Of course Mrs. Chu wouldn't worry about this. In a big deal, she gave Chu Xiang the most profitable shop in her hands to help her settle down.
It has been a year since the original owner has been in the palace. I have seen the family members three or five times, and many things are not clear. Chu Xiang took Mrs. Chu and asked many about the Chu family, as well as the situation of his father Chu Shangshu and his brother Chu Ze in officialdom.
In the past, the original owner never cared about these things. Madam Chu keenly noticed that her daughter's (sexual xing) personality seemed to be toughened by the harem, and she also had the idea of ​​contending, otherwise she would not care about official affairs. It's a pity that she doesn't know much, except that Chu Shangshu's insistence on neutrality is disliked by the regent, and the power in her hands tends to be emptied.
Because of this, Chu Ze didn't go well. He was currently training soldiers in the Jingwei camp. He was working very hard every day, but he was just a small official with no sense of existence. He couldn't talk about business or major events at all and was completely suppressed.
Chu Xiang didn't have any extra thoughts for the time being, but he was very satisfied with his family's neutral attitude. The regent was powerful, but she felt that the emperor was not a fuel-efficient lamp. They are fighting for hegemony, and the people underneath are still less involved to ensure safety. In this way, after she left, the ties between the Chu family and the emperor were gone, and it was very good to be able to remain neutral more firmly.
When Mrs. Chu asked about Chu Xiang's life in the palace, Chu Xiang no longer reported the good or bad. There is no need to let the family know that the concubine often troubles her. Anyway, she will not be able to bully them in the future.
Madam Chu has always been worried about her daughter's life. Now that she sees that there is no trace of sorrow between Chu Xiang's eyebrows, and she has not put the Fourth Concubine in her eyes, she feels relaxed in her heart and smiles on her face.
They had a lot of fun here, and the atmosphere at the Imperial Study Room was also very relaxed. Through this incident, Xiao Yuanzhao's attitude towards Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze was much more gentle. When Chu Shangshu saluted him, Xiao Yuanzhao personally helped him up and praised: "Aiqing raised a good daughter and saved my (sexual) life. I am very grateful."
Chu Shangshu was flattered, he was more cautious in his words and deeds, and humbled: "The emperor is serious, the emperor is in danger, and the imperial concubine is his duty. The emperor is full of prosperity, even if there is no imperial concubine, there will be nothing wrong."
He was calm on his face, but he was a little upset in his heart: [I don't know if the madam has seen Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang is so afraid of pain, she has shed tears since she was a child, and I don't know how long she has been crying this time. The imperial palace is indeed a place of right and wrong. As the emperor's concubine, she never had a birthday. I really regret not making excuses to escape into the palace. 】
Xiao Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, it turned out that Chu Shangshu was unwilling to let his daughter enter the palace? No wonder at Chu Xiang that day I didn’t feel that Chu Xiang had the meaning of fighting for favor, and I thought he was �@頀　焕⑹浅惺浅暼吹模　簡　┐門笪皇和昆敕　济敕小br/>
He held Chu Shangshu's arm without letting go, but slightly force, and said sincerely: "It is Aiqing who is too humble, not to mention the imperial concubine, Aiqing also helped me solve problems in the court, and made a lot of contributions to the court. It is really the dynasty. The minister of the brachial stock."
Chu Shangshu bowed his head and said, "The minister is just doing his duty."
He didn't fluctuate in his heart. Because of Xiao Yuanzhao's few words, he thought of what happened during this period of time, and naturally he thought of the power of the regent's people. The regent was unpredictable. Of course he would not fall to the regent. Besides, if it were not for the regent, Chu Xiang would not enter the palace, then he would not be seriously injured now, and he would never fall to the regent in his next life!
Now he only worries about his daughter's injuries, and he doesn't know how the injuries are.
Although Chu Shangshu was unwilling to let his daughter enter the palace, he seemed to have a little dislike for the emperor. However, Xiao Yuanzhao wasn't angry at all. Instead, he felt that Chu Shangshu paid so much attention to his daughter as a kind and righteous performance. And Chu Shangshu's unfavorable attitude towards the regent also made Xiao Yuanzhao very satisfied, and his attitude towards him was even more gentle.
Xiao Yuanzhao loosened Chu Shangshu naturally, as if he was really grateful to Chu Xiang for saving his life. He was only twenty years old, and such behavior did not arouse the slightest suspicion. Then he tested Chu Ze’s skill and made Chu Ze play a set of punches in the palace. When he praised Chu Ze, he held Chu Ze’s shoulder and expressed his appreciation for Chu Ze. How about the camp.
Chu Ze answered cautiously, Xiao Yuanzhao also smoothly heard his voice, and understood Chu Ze's dissatisfaction with the regent and several officials in the camp, and his concerns about Chu Xiang.
The father and son didn't seem to want to talk to him, nor did they think about taking this opportunity to reap any benefits. No matter what they were talking about or doing, they didn't let go of their worries about Chu Xiang. On the surface, they seemed to be respectful and respectful to him and listened to him very attentively. In fact, their hearts had already flown to Taihe Palace. I wish they could see Chu Xiang with their own eyes.
The smile on Xiao Yuanzhao's face was lightened by such "different appearances". Only because he was sure that the two of them would never fall to the regent, their character (sexuality) was also very good, and there would be two more people available in the future.
Xiao Yuanzhao was in a good mood and wanted to make an exception to reward them. He said: "The imperial concubine was seriously injured. Although the imperial physician said that she had recovered very well, she must have been greatly frightened that day. If you can see your family, you may feel more stable in your heart. Both of you. Aiqing might as well go to Taihe Palace with me, have a meal with the imperial concubine, and let your family reunite and comfort the imperial concubine. How about?"
This is a huge surprise! Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze looked up at Xiao Yuanzhao at the same time, both of them were a little unbelievable, but more joyful. During the non-holiday banquet, the foreigners hardly had the opportunity to see the imperial concubine. They hadn't seen Chu Xiang for half a year.
This time Xiao Yuanzhao personally accompanied them to dinner, and they could naturally see Chu Xiang. This was a great grace and a very rare opportunity. The two people were afraid that Xiao Yuanzhao would go back, and immediately bowed to thank you.
Xiao Yuanzhao was in a very good mood when he saw the joy (color) that they had (exposed). He lost his mother when he was young, and he fought with his brother (gou). He didn't get any paternal love from the first emperor. Later, he was used by the regent to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and he was always tense with the regent.
After ascending to the throne of God, he was even more cautious and couldn't easily trust others. Looking back, I had never felt the warmth of the Chu family who cared about each other so much. Now that I can see it with my own eyes, it seems to prove that there is indeed a warm and true love in the world.
He instructed Liang Zhong to prepare the meal and send it to Taihe Palace, but when he was about to take the Chu family father and son there, the palace people reported that the regent wanted to see him.
Said it was to see him, before Xiao Yuanzhao said whether he saw him or not, the regent came in by himself. Xiao Yuanzhao's eyes sank, and he returned to normal in an instant. No one noticed his displeasure. He also smiled and opened his mouth first, "Uncle Emperor is here? But something?"
The regent was slightly fat, smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said casually: "This king has heard that the emperor has been busy with political affairs recently, and he often reviews memorials until late, so he comes to see it. The dragon body is important, and the emperor should take more rest. Ask the ministers to look at them."
Both Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze bowed their heads and bowed their heads, reducing the emotions that had just flowed. The regent seemed harmless, but in reality he was harsh and narrow-minded. They didn't fall to the emperor, and the regent could suppress them because of dissatisfaction. If the regent misunderstood something, the Chu family might have even greater disasters.
Besides, who knows if this assassination (killing sha) was arranged by the regent? If it were, Chu Xiang had saved the emperor and had been against the regent. Outsiders think that the salvation is a good thing, but it actually makes the Chu family perilous, and it may fall apart if it is not careful. So as soon as the regent appeared, the nerves of the Chu family's father and son became tense.
But the regent noticed them and was very curious. He looked at them and said: "When did Chu Shangshu come? The emperor's dragon body is not in peace. This king has already ordered that you should not disturb the emperor to heal your wounds unless something major happens. You, father and son, enter the palace at the same time. , So why?"
Xiao Yuanzhao was very dissatisfied with the posture of his elders and masters, but he was silent on his face, and smiled lightly: "It was I who announced that they had entered the palace. Today, the imperial concubine returns to the palace. I think she will definitely miss her home due to this event. Sincerely, I want to reunite their family and talk. Before the emperor arrives, I was about to take them to Taihe Palace."
For someone else, they might just resign, saying that they want the whole family to eat and talk, so outsiders are embarrassed to delay them?
But instead of leaving, the regent frowned and said in disapproval: "Even if the rescuer is successful, the rules of the previous harem must not be messed up. The emperor will only make them pets and pets."
