The prince said angrily: "I can't calm my anger! What does the emperor mean by this?! Ordinary vassal kings will return to the vassal after they reach the crown. Why is Duan Ce still staying in Beijing and not going?"

"It's okay to stay in the capital, and you have to fight against Gu. What does he want to do? Is it better for him to do it for the prince?!"

The prince and Taifu immediately said seriously: "His Royal Highness, be careful, if these words fall into the ears of those who care, it may be inappropriate."

The prince lost his temper, but at least he regained some sense. He turned to the prince and Taifu, and said angrily: "At the beginning you told Gu that you couldn't get rid of King Yong, but you could get rid of his arm, but what's going on now?"

The Prince Taifu's expression remained unchanged, he just said: "Your Highness, the heart of heaven is unpredictable, the emperor is the emperor after all."

He said slowly: "Besides, isn't the Chizhou matter completely over?"

After hearing this, the crown prince calmed down immediately, and said hesitantly, "You mean... father, he..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were full of surprise, the crown prince closed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and said: "The emperor has his own reasons, how can the ministers speculate on their own?"

The crown prince gritted his teeth, and said: "But Gu can't swallow this breath, Gu is the crown prince, heir of the Great Zhou."

As he spoke, his eyes turned gloomy, and his tone was heavy: "King Yong, how dare he fight against Gu?"

……

Cui house.

Early in the morning, Dou Rulan came to visit. She was carrying a burden on her back. When Chu Yingying saw her, she said clearly, "Are you going to leave Jindu?"

Dou Rulan nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to Dr. Chu's care these days, I came here to thank you."

Chu Yingying shook her head, and asked again, "Are you going back alone?"

Dou Rulan paused, and said, "There is still Mr. Zhao."

Chu Yingying suddenly realized that Zhao Qilong had already been here a few days ago, and now it seems that the two must have made an appointment to go together.

She said: "Then you should be more careful on the road. If you have something to do in the future, you can write to each other."

Dou Rulan smiled, nodded in response, and then left. Soon, her slender figure disappeared at the end of the street.

Dou Rulan back then defended her father's grievances, and traveled all the way to Jindu to beat Dengwen Drums, causing a storm in the court, and now she finally got her wish.

Although the crown prince was not shaken, Chu Yingying was sure that this matter had become a thorn in the eyes of the high-ranking emperor, who was only waiting for a chance in the future to explode together.

Time flew by, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Chu Yingying had been in Jindu for half a year. After November, Jindu began to snow. It was much colder than Hangzhou City.

In December, in the midst of winter, although it was afternoon at this time, the weather was gloomy due to the light snowfall, and the scenery in the distance was covered by the continuous snow, as if it was covered with a layer of fog.

Few pedestrians could be seen on the street. At this time, two carriages drove over from a distance. The carriages were luxuriously decorated and obviously belonged to some dignitary's family.

The carriage stopped in front of Yuyu Tower, Jing Mo said: "Princess, Miss Chu, we are here."

Concubine Yong said to Chu Yingying: "I heard that there are some special dishes newly served in Yuyu Tower, all of which are learned from the south. You have been away from Hangzhou City for so long, so I specially brought you here to taste it."

Chu Yingying smiled: "Then I will have a good taste."

Concubine Yong also laughed, and said: "If you like eating, you can bring Master Cui with you someday."

She said, and whispered: "I'm telling you quietly, this Yuyu building is the property of my sister's family. When the time comes, I will give you an order, and you should treat it as your own family, and you don't need to pay."

Both of them laughed, and Chu Yingying got out of the car with a smile. The cold wind blowing from the side made her shiver, and the tip of her nose was a little red. Jing Mo quickly handed the stove to her, and said, "Miss Chu , beware of freezing."

Concubine Yong held the hand stove, looked up, and said: "It has been snowing for a whole day, and it doesn't stop."

Chu Yingying also said: "I'm afraid there is still time to go."

Concubine Yong said: "Looking at the past years, the snow has to fall until the end of the year."

Jing Mo urged: "Yes, my princess, go in first, what can I do if I freeze people to death?"

Chu Yingying smiled, and walked into the restaurant together with Concubine Yong, but after walking a few steps, she realized that someone was looking at her, subconsciously raised her head, and looked over keenly.

I saw that the window on the second floor was half open, and a person was sitting there. The sky was slightly dark, and the candlelight was not very bright. His face was hidden in the half-light, making it hard to see clearly.

However, Chu Yingying recognized the man at a glance, almost reflexively, a chill ran down her spine, which made her shiver involuntarily.

Princess Yong realized that she was wrong, and said, "Yingying, what's wrong?"

Chu Yingying looked away, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing."

Concubine Yong asked: "Is it blown by the wind?" She said, and immediately ordered the servants holding the umbrella, saying: "Lower the umbrella, let's go in first."

"Ah."

The person sitting on the second floor moved, he raised his glass to drink, the amazement in his eyes was still there, and he said to the people beside him: "Go and find out who is the woman who just followed Princess Yong?"

The guard immediately asked: "Is your Highness asking about the woman in blue and white clothes?"

The prince turned his head and said, "Do you recognize it?"

The guard replied: "I have seen her before. She is the elder sister of Cui Yunhao, a student in the Imperial Academy. Her name is Chu Yingying."

The prince read it slowly: "Chu Yingying, a good name."

"I... want to see her."

The voice was soft, but the meaning in it was self-evident. The guard immediately understood, and immediately said: "This subordinate understands."

The prince also specifically asked: "Speak politely, don't be rude to others."

"Yes."

……

In the private room, Concubine Yong was talking with Chu Yingying, and said: "I heard from the prince that at the end of the year, if there is no accident, Cui Yunhao can be promoted to an official again. Speaking of which, he should be one of the few Hanlin who can be promoted quickly. Yes, last time I was promoted to the Imperial Academy, so I don't know where I will be promoted this time?"

Because of the matter just now, Chu Yingying was a little absent-minded, but said: "Everything depends on the emperor's will."

Concubine Yong laughed, blinked her eyes, and said narrowly: "When Cui Yunhao is promoted to a first- and second-rank official, ask him to ask for an imperial order for you."

Chu Yingying came back to her senses, her face blushed immediately: "What are you talking about about things that have no shadow..."

"Okay, Yingying is ashamed," Princess Yong said with a smile, "I don't say anything."

At this moment, the door of the private room rang, and a maid hurriedly went to open the door, and saw a stranger dressed as a guard standing outside the door, and asked suspiciously: "Are you..."

The man said: "Excuse me, my master wants to meet that Miss Chu, could it be convenient for me?"

The servant girl was very surprised when she heard this, and said, "Who is your master?"

Seeing this, Concubine Yong asked, "What is it?"

The maidservant quickly turned around and said, "My lord, this man said that his master wants to see Miss Chu."

As she spoke, she moved her body slightly, revealing the guard outside the door.
