Chapter 768: Unknown Meaning

"The eldest lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion used to be good, but now... she is not very good." Concubine De looked at the gift placed on the table below, casually picked up the tea cup at hand, and used I skimmed the tea foam on the lid and took a sip of tea.

Shao Yanru's maid just left.

The mantle behind her was raised, and Chu Liuyue walked out and sat down on the chair next to Concubine De without even looking at the gift.

"What do you think, mother concubine?" Chu Liuyue said with a cold face.

"Yue'er, there are still many benefits to marrying her, especially when she is still very guilty. If you can marry her, even if you choose a few other concubines with extraordinary status, Duke Xingguo will not say anything! Concubine De thought for a while, then smiled and said to her son, in fact, it is not impossible for Shao Yanru to be the concubine!

Although the son is a little aggrieved, when the son waits for that high position, these are actually not a problem. If the Xingguo Duke is useful, he will hold it, and if it is not useful, it will be discarded. What kind of woman does he want to ascend to the position of queen and empress? It's not my mother and I who have the final say.

"Mother Concubine..." Chu Liuyue's face was as dark as water, and her heart felt like she had swallowed a fly.

It was really uncomfortable to see Shao Yanru entering the water and entangled with Chu Qing not only herself but also Chu Liuzhou.

"Do you feel aggrieved by Yue'er? People who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. It's actually easier to handle Shao Yanru's behavior now. The ancients were able to suffer the dirt on the crotch, so what if my son only suffered some minor grievances today?" Concubine De smiled. He persuaded, his voice soft and somewhat powerful.

Concubine De's natal family is powerful enough to compete with the Empress. The only difference is the status of a legitimate son. If she had been the queen, then the one she would give birth to would be the eldest son. If Chu Liuyue was the eldest son, There would be no such chaotic situation now.

However, Concubine De just thought about this idea. She was not involved in the fight after entering the palace, and her appearance in the palace was an accident.

"Mother, I... can only marry her?" Chu Liuyue was unwilling to accept it. He was a man and had a man's self-esteem. Marrying Shao Yanru was like having green hair on his head, and this greenness also made his opponent Chu Liuyue Zhou knew that this embarrassment really made him unable to calm down.

But he must be Chu Liuyue. After gritting his teeth, he calmed down, "The mother-in-law said that I would marry her, but in fact, wouldn't it be better if she could enter the house as a concubine?"

Although he calmed down, he still refused to give in.

"Would the eldest daughter of Duke Xingguo be willing to enter the palace as a concubine?" Concubine De glanced at her son and reminded him gently.

Shao Yanru's status was so noble that it could be said that except for a few royal princesses and princesses, few could compare with her. This was also an important reason why Concubine De had taken a fancy to her as her daughter-in-law.

"What if she volunteers? As long as she volunteers, will all the problems be solved? Duke Xingguo is such an eldest daughter, how can he not support me, and my position as a concubine can be free to marry other ladies? , since she is already unclean, even if I ask her to be my concubine, she can’t say anything!”

Chu Liuyue suggested.

He was secretly annoyed. He originally thought he had reached an agreement with Shao Yanru. He also hinted this to Shao Yanru yesterday. Shao Yanru seemed to understand and accepted it. How come it only took one day for her to go back on her word and deliberately What does it mean to bring gifts to please your mother and concubine? It was clear that he wanted to show off his strength to his mother and concubine, and he felt like he was being plotted against.

"If you can make her willingly become a concubine, that would be the best!" Concubine De thought about it and said, she did not want to wrong her son, and there was really no other way.

But if Shao Yanru is willing to be the concubine, it will be the best of both worlds. The candidate for the main concubine that she selected for her son can still be used.

"Don't worry, concubine, I will talk to her again!" Chu Liuyue promised.

Seeing that her son was neither angry nor angry, but looked calm, Concubine De nodded secretly. Her son's ability to handle this matter calmly was indeed the best. She was even more satisfied with Shao Yanru as the concubine.

Early in the morning, when her son talked about the eldest lady of the Xingguo Palace, a smile appeared on his usually cold face. In fact, Concubine De was very dissatisfied. She needed a strong helper, a capable person from her natal family. A daughter-in-law is the best, but her son is hers, and she doesn't want her son to marry a daughter-in-law and forget about her mother.

Especially her daughter-in-law may be the queen of a country. If she doesn't listen to her in the harem in the future, how will she like her?

Now, it saves her from this trouble. Shao Yanru is nothing more than this in her son's heart. The Xingguo Duke's Mansion will help her if she can use it well. If not, the son will not take Shao Yanru into consideration.

The mother and son talked for another while. Chu Liuyue saw the tired look on Concubine De's face, so she stood up and left.

After leaving the palace gate where Concubine De lives, he thought about it and strode towards Chuxiu Palace. He gave Shao Yanru another chance. If she persisted in her obsession with becoming his true concubine, then don't blame him. You're welcome.

In order to let her in, he gave up a lot. Inexplicably thinking of Shao Wanru's face, his frown became more and more severe.

As they passed by, they suddenly saw Chu Liuchen walking slowly in front of him at the intersection. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is your third brother's health feeling better?"

Chu Liuchen stood still and waited for him to come over: "Brother, where are you going?"

"I just went to see my mother and concubine, now go over there and have a rest." Chu Liuyue pointed to the front, which was the resting place reserved for him in the palace, occupying the outside of Chuxiu Palace.

"I just came from my uncle's study room..." Chu Liuchen turned his head and coughed lowly when he said this.

Chu Liuyue's eyes couldn't help but fall on the side of his face. His face became paler due to the snow-white fox fur, but he seemed to look better than before. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in her heart. Seeing him clenching his fists The way he coughed made him feel that he had made a mistake. How could Chu Liuchen look so good!

But during this period, his father seemed to have summoned Chu Liuchen more often, and he was not as sick and unable to get up as rumored. Chu Liuyue actually never understood why her father treated Chu Liuchen so favorably. .

The eldest son of the late emperor, with such an identity, his father should care about him and wish he were dead. However, after several observations, Chu Liuyue felt that his father really cared about and doted on Chu Liuchen. , more doting than his own son. This kind of doting is not only seen, but also felt.

How could my father hide it so well! It actually made everyone who saw it feel that he was sincerely interested in Chu Liuchen?

Since his father had this attitude, of course he couldn't be any worse. His expression became gentle. When Chu Liuchen turned around, he said with concern: "Is everything okay? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look? Let's go to my brother's place first. take a break!"

"Thank you, brother. There is nothing serious about me. I have an old problem that won't get better!" Chu Liuchen smiled slightly, his voice was softer than before. He looked at the direction of Chuxiu Palace in the distance and suddenly said, "Brother, I think Xingguo Duke's Mansion How is your eldest lady?"

Chu Liuyue's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Chu Liuchen carefully and found nothing out of the ordinary, then said, "Why did the third brother talk about this?"

"Actually, I just asked casually. I saw Miss Shao's portrait in my eldest brother's place before. Later, I also described one and wanted to exchange it with him!"

Chu Liuchen's voice made people feel very gentle, without the moody and violent temper of the past. Now Chu Liuchen is becoming more and more invisible.

"Third brother is laughing, but it's just a random painting, not comparable to third brother's paintings!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, observing Chu Liuchen calmly.

What he said was very straightforward and a bit contemptuous. He wanted to marry Shao Yanru at the beginning, so naturally he couldn't let others underestimate Shao Yanru casually. Nowadays, unlike in the past, there is not such a big taboo. Shao Yanru's reputation is bad. No harm to him.

"My paintings are good? What if I show them to my uncle?" Chu Liuchen said with a half-smile.

Chu Liuyue's face darkened, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she pointed at Duke Xingguo behind Shao Yanru. He would not give her up to anyone else, even if that person was Chu Liuchen, a sick and dying child.

"The third brother was joking. Miss Shao is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xingguo. If the third brother takes this painting to find his father, he will definitely scold him. We are all of royal blood. We must not be so contemptuous of ministers, otherwise we will let everyone down. What do you think of us!" Chu Liuyue scolded her seriously with a straight face.

Chu Liuchen gently waved his hand and said with a smile: "What the elder brother said is not my own idea. No matter how beautiful a beauty is, I can't stand it, let alone the most beautiful woman in the capital. I'm afraid there are a lot of people who like her, so I'd better not take it personally. In fact, I'd rather give my position as a concubine to a woman with no ambitions!"

After Chu Liuchen finished speaking, he smiled and cupped his hands to Chu Liuyue, "Brother, I'm going to leave first. My place is also nearby, but I'm very tired now, so I won't invite brother to sit down! "

"Third brother, please excuse me!" Chu Liuyue stepped aside and waved her hand gently.

Chu Liuchen walked past him with a smile and gradually moved away...

Behind him, Chu Liuyue was thoughtful and her face turned cold. There was obviously something in Chu Liuchen's words. What did he mean by this?

After looking at the direction he came from, it was indeed in the direction of his father's royal study. Could it be that something happened there? In other words, someone also took a fancy to Shao Yanru, and what did he say in front of his father?

What does Chu Liuchen's last sentence mean about the position of a concubine and a woman without ambition? Is it possible that Shao Yanru is also interested in Chu Liuchen? Do you want to ask him for the position of concubine? If he couldn't give her the position of Princess Chen, would he want to beg for the position of Princess Chen? His heart skipped a beat. He actually thought that this kind of thing was possible.

Once, he accidentally saw Shao Yanru entering the palace and accidentally bumped into Chu Liuchen. Although Chu Liuchen didn't help her, the situation at that time always felt a bit abnormal every time he thought about it. He also often bumped into her. To such a young lady from an aristocratic family who throws herself into the arms of someone like this.

"Let's go!" Chu Liuyue's face turned cold, anger filled her eyes, and she strode forward. If Shao Yanru really dared to step on both sides, he would not even give her the position of concubine!
