Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

At this time, the chamberlain of Cining Palace came in and reported that the Queen Mother had invited Mrs. Chu and the girl from the Chu family to Cining Palace to accompany her old man to relieve his boredom. The Queen Mother liked Miss Chu very much because she was gentle and kind. She would keep Miss Chu in Cining Palace for two days and recite Buddhist scriptures to her.

The Queen Mother also said that Miss Chu really liked her old man. She asked the emperor for a favor on Miss Chu's behalf and asked the emperor to give Miss Chu something.

After alarming the Queen Mother and asking her to put down her Buddhist duties, the Emperor knew that he must have gone to complain with the prince. He laughed and said, "Miss Chu really pleases the Queen Mother, and she can make her open such a golden mouth. Well, I will reward Miss Chu with something like this." He thought for a while, and then said, "She is the first Once he asked me for something, but she was too cowardly to give it, so I made Miss Chu the head of Huitao County and gave her two boxes of Dongzhu."

There are not many people in this dynasty who are granted the title of county head because they are not daughters of the clan. This title not only made people aware of the favor shown by the emperor and the queen mother to Chu Hanyan, but also made ordinary noblewomen dare not offend her lightly. Chu Guangche and Chu Lingxuan were so happy that they quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and sang loudly, "Thank you Lord Long for your kindness."

Other ministers in the hall also knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, be merciful." After standing up, they clasped their fists to congratulate the Chu family father and son.

The good news that the emperor made Chu Hanyan the county head spread to Cining Palace, which also made Chen Afu and Xiao Shiyi overjoyed.

Yang Shufei smiled happily and kept saying "congratulations", but she felt even more frightened in her heart.

Yesterday, Yang Wenfang went back to the Yang family directly. She did not dare to tell her parents that she had scolded Chu Hanyan, and she was kicked out of the palace by the prince and the prince. She only crawled on the bed and cried. The servant was a little scared, so he quietly went to tell Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang was frightened when she heard her daughter say such unbearable words, and her instinct was to bring trouble to Concubine Yang Shu. Yang Wenfang is Mrs. Yang's old daughter and she dotes on her very much. Seeing that she had caused such a big trouble, he did not dare to help her hide it, so he sent someone to invite Mr. Yang.

Master Yang was staying with his concubine. When he returned to the main courtyard and listened to his wife's story, he was very angry, but at that time the key to the palace had been lost and he could not enter. Early this morning, Mrs. Yang came to Yang Shufei to tell her what happened. Before Concubine Yang Shu went to plead guilty to the emperor and the Queen Mother, the chamberlain of Cining Palace came to pass on the Queen Mother's oral instructions, asking Concubine Yang to go to Cining Palace immediately.

In front of the Queen and other concubines, the Queen Mother first rebuked Concubine Yang Shu for not knowing etiquette and often letting her sister stay in the palace. There were many princes and nephews studying in the imperial study, and Miss Yang did not know how to avoid suspicion, which had a bad influence. He also said that Miss Yang was shameless and actually spoke rudely to the future Princess He, etc.

The Queen Mother has always been kind-hearted and never loses her temper. This is the first time that she has given out money from the Queen Mother and her mother-in-law. Not only was Yang Shufei frightened to the point of kneeling down, but the Queen and several other concubines also knelt down to listen to the lecture...

After lunch at Cining Palace, Chen Afu left the palace alone.

Although the little girl was not very articulate, she could still recite several Buddhist sutras very fluently because she often accompanied Chen. Besides, the Queen Mother is a truly philanthropic person, and this is a favor to her, so she will definitely not embarrass the little girl. It's just that the little girl has rarely left Chen Afu since she became sensible. Even if she occasionally leaves Chen Afu, Xiao Shiyi will always accompany her. Therefore, Chen Afu was still a little worried about the little girl.

Seeing the fear in the little girl's eyes, Xiao Eleven really wanted to stay in Cining Palace. But now that he is older, he knows that there are some things that need to be avoided, and he cannot give others an excuse to attack Chu Hanyan.

He winked at Rong Jing, and Rong Jing walked over, took Chu Hanyan's hand, and said coquettishly to the Queen Mother, "Mother, my son, please join Miss Chu in reciting sutras to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother knew that Chu Hanyan was timid and saw that her son was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "Rong Jing will live with Miss Chu in the side hall for these two days. Little Eleven can't miss his homework. Come here after school." Have a meal."

Xiao Eleven smiled with crooked eyebrows and nodded.

After hearing this, Chu Hanyan's eyes became less frightened.

Chen Afu knew that she was still a little scared, but there was nothing he could do. What's more, as the little girl grows up, she has to face many things alone.

At noon, the Queen Mother and the Queen came to the Yang Mansion to reprimand Yang Wenfang. They banned Yang Wenfang for half a year and sent her a nun to teach her for a year.

The next day, Nanny Wei came to Chu Mansion again and quietly told Chen Afu that the emperor severely reprimanded Concubine Yang Shu last night.

In the afternoon of the third day, Chu Hanyan returned to Chu Mansion. Not only did he bring back rewards from the emperor, he also brought back many rewards from the queen mother and empress. Subsequently, the emperor's imperial edict to confer Chu Hanyan as the head of Huitao County arrived. Then, the decree from the Queen Mother and the Queen to commend Chu Hanyan arrived again.

Suddenly, Chu Hanyan, the eldest daughter of Yong'an Marquis, was in the limelight and became the most envied person among the noble ladies in the capital.

The elders of the Chu family are happy. The child who worries them the most is also the child who has been hurt the most. The road ahead will be better.

Chen Afu was also very happy. This emperor is much better than the previous emperor. He not only remembers love, but is also wise. And the Queen Mother has a truly bodhisattva-like heart. People from the Tian family will fall out whenever they want. It is rare for them to remember how good the Chu family is.

Especially the Queen Mother. Although she now has the most distinguished status, she is a poor woman and has suffered much more than Liao Chen. At least Liao Chen had received the love of her husband, and her ex-husband was still thinking about her. But the Queen Mother, she had no life of her own at all, she was just a tool used by the late emperor to give birth and atone for sins.

Perhaps because of this, even though Liao Chen has been a monk for more than ten years, he still cannot stop thinking about the world. As for the Queen Mother, she really saw through the world of mortals, but she couldn't become a monk as she wished.

Because the Queen Mother spends most of her time on Buddhism, she also made it clear that in order for Little Eleven to grow up happily, the relationship between Chen Afu and Little Eleven has basically returned to its previous state, except that Little Eleven blatantly called Chen Afu "mother" . But the ghostly Xiao Shiyi will never call Chen Afu "mother", only "mother-in-law".

In mid-May, Mr. Chu and Mr. Chu will return to the countryside. A few days ago, Chen Afu sent the leader of Song He's family back to Fuyuan to clean up, move her supplies from the upper house to Tangyuan, and then renovate the house. From now on, the old marquis will live in the west room of the upper house, and the old lady will live in the east room of the upper house.

The daughter of Song He's family is actually Hongfei, who married Song He, the steward, last year. She is now five months pregnant, but because she is familiar with Fuyuan, she has to be sent on this errand.

The old Marquis also proposed that the two boys, Brother Yu and Brother Ming, take turns going to Fuyuan to pay their respects. In fact, the old Marquis wanted Xiao Yu'er to go more, but he knew it was impossible, so he didn't make this unreasonable request.

Although Chen Afu was extremely reluctant to give up, he had to let him go. She knew that children were not only there to show filial piety, but also to appease Chen's heart.
