Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Ever since Xiao Yu'er turned half a year old, Chen Afu began to gradually take over the affairs of the Hou Mansion from the third lady. He would spend more than an hour in the morning in the inner chamber to deal with the affairs of the mansion. She never liked managing housework, so as soon as she took over the housekeeping, she began to train Nanny Li and Hong Fei to be her right-hand assistants. Hongfei has already made an engagement, and she is a steward in the palace. Chen Afu asked her to get married in two years.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuer has already started breastfeeding. She only feeds her milk twice a day, morning and evening.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Chen Afu invited all the masters except the second room to have dinner at Zhuxuan. Mrs. Li was so angry that she cursed in the yard for most of the night. This matter reached Chen Afu's ears the next day.

That's the good thing about being the mistress of the house. Any disturbance in the house will be immediately reported to her ears.

Chen Afu was openly slapping Mrs. Li in the face. At first, the Li family followed Rong Zhao and controlled the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, embezzling tens of thousands of taels of silver. Forget about the money, but she was so distressed that Chu Lingxuan and Yan'er had a family and couldn't go back. She thought that Chu Lingxuan would have no children and let her son inherit the title. This was heartbreaking.

Although the second master didn't join in the fuss, he watched his wife's fuss and didn't care. He didn't feel any pressure at all to spend her greedy money. He is not authentic either.

If the Marquis of Chu hadn't hinted that the second master had suffered a lot in his youth, the money would be forgotten and it would be a favor to the second master, Chen Afu would have really tried to force Mrs. Li to spit out the tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Fortunately, Chu Ling'an and his wife were nice people, and Chen Afu was very polite to them in private.

At noon on June 20th, not long after Chen Afu had taken his lunch break, he was leading several children to play in the living room with the animals except Golden Swallow. Jin Yanzi was sent to the south to watch the battle again.

At this time, Xiao Shiyi and Li Xuan came to Chu's house together again.

As soon as Xiao Li Xuan arrived, he raised his voice and shouted, Auntie, I want to eat your watermelon shaved ice and golden shrimp balls. His voice was cheerful, just like in the countryside and Dingzhou Prefecture.

Chen Afu said with a smile, Is your mother-in-law still starving you? Or she asked someone to make watermelon shaved ice, as well as the food that His Highness Eleven and Prince Rui liked, and left them to have dinner in the evening.

Last month, Prince Rui asked Xiao Li Xuan to be crowned the crown prince, and the prince granted the title directly on behalf of the emperor. In fact, many princes or people with titles do not necessarily ask their children to be crown princes at such a young age. The reason why Lord Rui did this was to tell his biological mother, Concubine Zhou De, and his eldest son, Li Chao, that the crown prince was his legitimate son Li Xuan and that they should not overthink certain things.

After Concubine Zhou De knew about this, the crown prince had already been given to Li Xuan. She was so angry that she summoned King Rui to the palace and scolded him, saying that Li Xuan was too young. She asked Prince Rui to take back the crown prince's position and give him the title after Li Xuan had completely recovered in two years.

King Rui did not agree, saying how could such an important matter be changed overnight. Besides, Li Xuan is very healthy now and does not need to recover.

Prince Rui has been a disobedient gangster since he was a child, and Concubine Zhou De scolded him for a long time to no avail.

Concubine Zhou De was helpless, so she ran to the emperor and cried loudly, saying that Prince Rui was unfilial and did not tell her, a mother and concubine, such a big thing. Moreover, Li Xuan is weak and a little stupid, so how can he take on such a big responsibility.

The emperor reprimanded Concubine Zhou De, saying that as a grandmother she was too biased. Everyone can see that Li Xuan is smart and strong now. There is no reason why such a good direct grandson should not inherit the title, but instead let his concubine inherit the title.

Concubine Zhou De was so angry that she thought to herself, you are more biased than anyone else in treating me, why don't you let a concubine become the prince? But she only dared to think about it in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Concubine Zhou De failed to dislodge Li Xuan from his position as heir apparent, and the Li Dynasty did not dare to cause trouble again. In addition, with Xiao Shiyi, Li Xuan's life in the palace was much easier. The anxiety and anxiety I felt when I first returned to Beijing are no longer there, and I am optimistic and relaxed again.

Xiao Shiyi also gradually adapted to life in the palace. His brother is the prince, and the emperor loves him so much that his life cannot be enriched. Especially after his biological mother became the queen, no one dared to control him no matter what he did in the palace. Not only that, he was fawned over and respected by the emperor's nephews every day, and his life was extremely comfortable.

He still rarely mentioned Chen Afu and the Chu family in the palace. Occasionally when he met Chen Afu who came into the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother, he would only greet him politely and not be too affectionate. However, as soon as he returned to the Chu family, he would sit next to Chen Afu like a child. Of course, he would not neglect Chu Hanyan, but would pull her to sit beside him with one hand. On one side was a peerless beauty, which made him extremely happy and proud. Enough making out with the two beauties, now go tease the other brothers and sisters.

When he returns to the Chu family, the other guards and eunuchs will be left in the outer courtyard by him. There was only one person who came to Zhuxuan with him, Xiao Gezi, who occasionally brought Qiuyue. These two people are his absolute confidants, and he is not afraid that they will tell the truth about his special closeness to his mother.

In fact, he felt that a kind-hearted person like his mother would not be unhappy even if she knew that he was intimate with his mother. But he didn't dare to be careless, always afraid of causing trouble to his mother and his family.

Whenever he left the palace, he would bring Nanny Luo out, and Nanny Luo would go directly back to her own home. Previously, Chu Lingxuan had expelled Luo Yuan and Luo Mingcheng from their slave status. This is not only for the sake of Grandma Luo, but also for the merits of Steward Luo and his family being loyal to Chen.

Although Guanshi Luo and his family were slaves in the past, they were definitely rich. They also owned many shops and many properties. Luo Yuan is now a free agent and a true master. He no longer needs to work for the Chu family, he only takes care of his own business. Xiao Luo Mingcheng has gone to a private school to study. The Luo family hopes that he will study hard and get a good name in the future. With the help of His Highness Eleven and the Chu family, his future will definitely be good.

After eating watermelon shaved ice, Li Xuan, his two brothers and Animal House were not afraid of the heat and went to the children's playground to play. Xiao Shiyi did not follow, saying that he wanted to accompany his mother and sister in Zhuxuan.

Now that Xiao Shiyi has grown up, he is no longer as interested in the children's playground as he was when he was a child.

When there was no one else around, Xiao Eleven whispered in Chen Afu's ear, Mother, Brother Nine Emperors asked me to tell you that he knows that Lord Chu Hou has been wronged and he has something in his heart.

Ever since the Ninth Prince was granted the title of Crown Prince, he has not seen Lord Chu in private. He asked Xiao Shiyi to pass this message over, was he expressing an attitude, right?

Chen Afu smiled and pinched Xiao Eleven's fat face and said, Okay, I understand and I will convey it to you.

Xiao Shiyi blushed again and whispered, I also feel that Lord Chu has been wronged, but my father... ah... He was embarrassed to say that his father was wrong, so he paused and said, That Rong Zhao is particularly annoying, I have never regarded her as my eldest sister.
