Chapter 74 Suspicion (Part [-])
Zhao Chengyuan smiled lightly, "I don't have any plans to get married right now, brother Huang should be excused."

Emperor Qingming relaxed his body, and said regretfully, "I thought your Red Luan star moved, but I think this can be considered a good relationship."

Zhao Chengyuan said sternly, "The Chen family helped the emperor to destroy Chu, and now Chen Youning has donated [-] taels of food to the Southwest Army. Such a woman should not be forced to death."

"Well, that's the truth."

Emperor Qingming stroked his jade finger, "The Chen family made great contributions back then, and there is no reason why the Chen family's daughter should be wronged. You have done a very good job, and you must not let people think that the Great Zhou royal family has forgotten the merits of the Chen family."

He turned to ask, "Why do you think Dingguo's government is targeting Chen Youning?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "I have to ask Mrs. Dingguo."

Emperor Qingming sneered, "The phoenix rests on the wu. The old duke's wife probably already regards the prince as her grandson-in-law. The prince personally sent Chen Youning to the gate of the mansion that day. Didn't he violate the old duke's wife's taboo?"

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes darkened slightly, the emperor was suspicious, and there were people watching all the movements in the capital from the dark, so he knew everything about it like the palm of his hand.

If you say that, it makes sense.

But is that really all that is?

He frowned and pondered for a moment, "Brother Huang thinks far-reaching. However, the family status of Duke Dingguo's mansion is worthy of the crown prince."

Emperor Qingming's eyes were heavy. Even if he sealed the Crown Prince Zhao Chen, it didn't mean that he was willing to let the prince lean on the mountain of Dingguo Duke's Mansion and threaten his throne.

I can give it to you, but you can do it yourself, but you can't.

"A white daughter may not be enough for a prince."

Zhao Chengyuan ate his meal with downcast eyes.

Until the end of dinner, the two of them did not continue the topic just now.

When Zhao Chengyuan left after eating, Emperor Qingming said, "Ah Lin hasn't been in the palace for a while, you send him a letter asking him to come to the palace, and I will arrange a job for him."

Zhao Chengyuan paused, "He has a loose temper, I'm afraid he can't calm down."

Emperor Qingming laughed and said, "The future father-in-law, King Chengjun, is watching, and he won't be lazy even if he wants to."

"Brother Huang wants to let him join the Royal Forest Army?"

"Ah."

Zhao Chengyuan pondered for a moment, "This is a good idea. The king of Chengjun has strict military discipline, so Ah Lin must not dare to make mistakes. He is going to discuss marriage soon, so it's time to calm down."

Emperor Qingming was a little surprised.

He thought that Zhao Chengyuan would explain a thing or two, or say that he didn't agree with this marriage, or at least he would push this errand.

But he just took it.Not a word of explanation.

After Zhao Chengyuan left, Emperor Qingming's expression returned to gloomy, and he asked Wu Jian in a low voice, "The king of Jin denied his marriage with Chen Youning, why did he admit Lu Lin's marriage?"

Wu Jian was in his forties, with a fair face and no beard, and had been with Emperor Qingming since he was a child.

He bowed and replied, "Going back to the emperor, the servant saw that Prince Jin was treating you close, so he didn't think too much about it. It's like he went to Cangyuan Mountain, didn't he keep it from you, the emperor?"

Emperor Qingming glanced at him, "Are you speaking for him?"

Wu Jian thumped and knelt on the ground, "I don't dare! This slave is the emperor's slave when I'm young, and I don't dare to be dissatisfied even if I'm killed! This slave is thinking, if Prince Jin shirks everything, then he must be careful..."

Emperor Qingming's expression softened slightly, and he kicked him, "Look at how scared you are! Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Jian got up, and said cautiously, "Just now the prince didn't say that the slave here, the little eunuch from Kunning Palace came to deliver a letter, saying that the queen didn't have dinner."

Emperor Qingming's face darkened, and he walked out, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

After leaving the imperial study, he turned his head and said, "Bring "The Picture of Autumn Mountains" with you."

Han Rui resigned, and the emperor personally approved it, which caused quite a stir in the court.

Although his official position is not high, he is still in the name of Ding Guogong's younger brother, and no one will easily embarrass him.

He is about to be promoted to a minister, and if he resigns at such a critical juncture, if there is nothing in it, no one will believe it.

After careful investigation, what happened at the chrysanthemum banquet in Duke Dingguo's mansion could not be concealed.In just a few days, all kinds of news followed the golden phoenix in late autumn, and spread all over the capital.

Everything that happened on this day is worth mentioning in detail.Gao Yi of Miss Dingguo, Mrs. Han's making things difficult, Han Qingwan's falling into the water, and Prince Jin's wrath.

And most of these things seem to have the figure of the cousin Chen Youning.

People in the capital city were already very curious about the case of the extermination of the Chen family, but Chen Youning, the only one who escaped from birth, immediately gathered curious eyes from the whole capital city.

And King Jin treated her differently, which added a layer of glory to her.

Under the pretense of visiting Han Qingwan, the girls just set foot in her yard and went to Meiyuan.

And when they came to Meiyuan, everyone, without exception, wanted to try Meiyuan's chrysanthemum steamed buns, and everyone had a big appetite.

Aunt Sun was also very busy there, and the maids of the ladies were all holding silver, coaxing them with nice words, and learning the secret of making chrysanthemum buns from her.

Han Youning looked at this group of ladies who called her "Dingguo Gongfu fat girl" in her previous life, and now they are all very affectionate, and she couldn't help but sighed in frustration.

She was able to get this treatment, and she didn't know whether it was because of her own rebirth and change, or because she was honored by King Jin.

Han Youning, as always, went to pay Mrs. Han every morning.

When passing the lotus pond, I met Chu Jingjing watching the maid pick the lotus on the bank.

Chu Jingjing warmly greeted her, "Miss Biao is going to pay her respects to the old lady? I happen to be going too, so let's go together."

Han Youning looked at the lotus pod in her basket, "Aunt Chu is going to take this lotus pod to Chunhui Hall?"

"That's right! Yesterday I saw the old lady's mouth was bubbling. Eating these lotus seeds would make her angry."

Han Youning walked slowly, "Everyone is shying away from this lotus pond now, if Auntie takes it away, the old lady's mouth will be even more blistered."

Chu Jingjing covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, "Oh, I didn't expect this layer!" She handed the basket to the servant girl, "You take this back, let's eat by ourselves!"

Han Youning said, "Now the old lady and the others are annoyed by me, it's not wise for Aunt Chu to go with me."

Chu Jingjing curled her lips, "Miss Biao is under the protection of Prince Jin, what can they do to you? The second master is usually so powerful, why don't you obediently kowtow in front of Prince Jin to apologize, and resign if you say resignation!"

Han Youning smiled, "I caused the second master to lose his job, don't you hate me?"

Chu Jingjing smiled and said, "What does it matter to me whether the second master is an official or not? It's not my turn to make an imperial edict, and I won't be brought along for the appearance of going out to a banquet. Even Lian Er can rely on her." The asylum of the Duke."

Han Youning looked at her in surprise, "Aunt Chu sees clearly."
