Chapter 490 Conspiracy
"I'll handle the matter of signing the document," he said.
He and Xia Zihan knew that the signature was fake. Last year, his mother secretly drew a lottery for Xia Zihan, but it was a fake signature. It was not what she had done before she was nineteen years old. , cannot be a signature for engagement.
Mrs. Chu was deceived by Mrs. Xu.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and agreed.
Chu Jingqi's face showed ecstasy, "Ayu, do you agree?"
"I don't agree. I might not be able to wait until Dong|Fanghua|Zhuye, and I will be eaten up by you." Xia Zihan rolled his eyes angrily.
Chu Jingqi hugged her and smiled.
The reason why Xia Zihan agreed so readily was because the Chu family now has Chu Yuexi and will marry her a sister-in-law next year. From now on, if someone from the Chu family will accompany her grandmother on her behalf, she can get married early.
Next year, she will be seventeen years old. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl.
Chu Jingqi probably couldn't wait that long.
In the past year of being close to Chu Jingqi, she found that this bastard had a strong need in this area, especially recently. Every time he saw her, he would uncontrollably pester her.
Obviously, he also knew he shouldn't, just like last time in the hall... But he just couldn't control his exuberance...
She was very lucky that she was a martial arts practitioner, otherwise, with this boy's physical strength and strong needs, ordinary women would not be able to bear it.
However, if they don't get married, maybe she will be soft-hearted and the two of them will actually do something before the wedding.
By then, on the wedding night, if Luo Hong is not there, she will be criticized.
Because of this, when Chu Jingqi flirted with her, he endured it again and again, but did not break her last defense.
"Ayu, you are so kind." Chu Jingqi said with a smile, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes that he had succeeded.
However, before he could get over half of his excitement, the carriage was hit hard, bang...
The huge carriage quickly spun half a circle. The teacup on the vibrating table jumped a few times, fell on the table, fell again, and broke into several pieces.
Xia Zihan's body was held firmly in Chu Jingqi's arms, but she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her expression changed.
Outside the car, I also remembered the panicked cries, the neighing of horses, and the cries for help, which were all connected and chaotic.
Before they could ask, Shengchi outside said, "Your Majesty, this is the carriage from Prince Rong's Mansion."
The Chu family's carriage arrived at the intersection of City Center Street and was turning towards East Street when the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion from the side rushed towards it.
Because of the sudden emergency, I wanted to avoid him, but it was too late. I could only whip my horsehide buttocks and rush forward fiercely.
Prince Rong's carriage had four horses, and the Chu family's carriage had two horses. If he didn't rush forward, the carriage, including the people and the carriage, would probably be knocked over by Prince Rong's carriage.
And he dared to use two horses to hit other people's four horses because the four horses in Prince Rong's palace were ordinary carriage horses, and the two horses from the Chu family were given to him by his eldest son after he returned to Beijing this time. The war horses given to the Chu family were tall, mighty, and fierce. After the two carriages collided, the Chu family's carriage did not suffer any loss.
Shengdi quickly explained the matter.
Chu Jingqi's face became gloomy and cold, very scary.
He said to Xia Zihan, "Ayu, I'll go down and take a look. Just stay in the carriage and don't act rashly."
"Well, you should be more careful."
According to what Shengdi said, Prince Rong's carriage was running too fast and too hastily and couldn't stop for a moment, so it hit him.
However, this was a street with people coming and going everywhere. It was unreasonable for the palace's carriage to run so fast on the street.
She had a hunch that the people from Prince Rong's mansion were deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Chu family.
She had not forgotten that before Princess Qinghui betrothed her to Chu Yuexi, Qinghui had said that the second princess wanted to betroth her to the young prince of Prince Rong's palace. It was said that the two families had met each other, so they asked for an official. The matchmaker comes to your door to propose marriage.
But now, the second princess went back on her word and gave Princess Qinghui to Chu Yuexi. This meant that in the eyes of the second princess, the young prince of Prince Rong was not as good as a newly adopted heir of the Chu family.
By doing this, the second princess was tantamount to losing face to Prince Rong's palace. Prince Rong's palace did not dare to cause trouble to the second prince's palace, so they might vent their anger on the Chu family.
Xia Zihan guessed that in the heart of the young prince of Prince Rong's palace, Chu Yuexi must have been a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and he hated her to the extreme.
She expected that he would come to trouble the Chu family.
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan thought of the last time Chu Yuexi was assassinated. It was not long after Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui got engaged...could it be said that the person behind the assassination would Are you from Prince Rong's Mansion?
Xia Zihan thought, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Chu Jingqi went down, and Xia Zihan slightly opened the small curtain and looked outside with one eye.
Prince Rong's carriage stopped only three meters away from the Chu family's carriage. The four horses were kicking their hooves anxiously and snorting from time to time.
The driver of Prince Rong's Mansion was pulling their reins hard, not daring to let them go crazy.
After Chu Jingqi got off, the people on the carriage of Prince Rong seemed to see him, and a handsome young man also got off.
The boy is not old, fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is dressed very gorgeously.
Sunflowers were embroidered with gold thread on the blue brocade robe, and a yellow jade pendant hung around his waist, which complemented the belt decorated with five large yellow gemstones. This shining outfit made anyone who saw him Everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had seen the sun.
The young man seemed to know Chu Jingqi. The moment he saw Chu Jingqi, he obviously paused in his steps. Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he said, "Prince Chu? Is this your carriage?"
He clearly heard the person monitoring Chu's house saying that this was Princess Chu Yu's carriage. Why was Chu Jingqi also on the carriage?
Damn it, the people below must not have made it clear.
Prince Rong looked apologetic and bowed his hands, "Brother Chu, I'm so sorry. I don't know if my horse took the wrong medicine today. When it got to the street, it ran like crazy. It shocked and frightened the people." I, oh, my head was knocked out by the carriage, look at it..."
As he spoke, he also showed his forehead to Chu Jingqi.
Sure enough, there was a big bruise on his forehead.
The carriage was hit hard. He lost his balance for a moment and hit his head on the carriage.
At this time, it was time to show off and win Chu Jingqi's trust.
He couldn't let Chu Jingqi notice that he was plotting against his Princess Chuyu.
Huh... The Chu family stole his little princess, so he should have a little princess to accompany him. I heard that Chu Yu's appearance is very beautiful, even three points more beautiful than Princess Qinghui, and her temperament His character is also very good. If he can marry Chu Yu and return to his hometown, he feels that it will be much better than marrying Princess Qinghui.
If he marries the devilish Princess Qinghui, then his future life will definitely be bleak. With Princess Qinghui’s temperament, he is afraid that he will never touch another woman again. From now on, he will We still have to look at the faces of the second prince and the second princess to live their lives.
Thinking about it this way, there don't seem to be many benefits for him marrying Princess Qinghui. But if he marries Xia Zihan, from now on, the Chu family will only be able to curry favor with Prince Rong, and Chu Yu will only be able to please him. After he became the nephew and son-in-law of the Chu family, in the Chu family and in front of Princess Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui, he could show off his air of being accommodating to the young prince of the palace.
When the time comes, he wants Princess Qinghui to see clearly how her husband's family went to court to curry favor with Prince Rong, and how her husband tried so hard to curry favor with him.
He wanted Princess Qinghui to regret marrying Chu Yuexi.
As for Chu Jingqi...
He still has two younger sisters who are not engaged. Both of them were born to his mother's concubine, and both have the title of princess conferred by the emperor. If Chu Jingqi likes it, he can give one to him as the eldest concubine.
It just so happened that his fifth sister liked Chu Jingqi, so by marrying her to Chu Jingqi, he could be considered as giving him a royal concubine.
Young Prince Rong was very calculating and shrewd in his mind, but he didn't think about it at all, would people be willing to do his calculations?
He believed that the title of Prince Rong's palace was higher than that of Duke Anguo, and that he and his fifth sister had higher status than Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan.
Let these two people hold stones in exchange for eggs. No need to think about it. He believed that Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi were also willing.
Prince Rong is very confident.
But the premise is that he has to make Chu Yu fall in love with him first. If she doesn't fall in love with him, if he rashly invites an official mediator to go to Chu Mansion to propose marriage, he will offend Duke Anguo, Chu Xuanyu, Chu Jingqi and his son, and he will also be punished. He was made a joke and became the target of attack. What the noble family in the capital hated most was robbing someone of their fiancée and fiancé. He couldn't let people think that he was robbing Chu Jingqi's fiancée.
But what if Chu Yu fell in love with him and took the initiative to propose marriage to Prince Rong's Mansion?
It's not his fault.
That is because Chu Jingqi is useless and cannot keep his fiancée.
Hehe...
Young Prince Rong smiled evilly in his heart, but his face looked grateful, "Fortunately, after meeting Brother Chu's carriage, my horses finally calmed down. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have been shocked. This matter, I have to thank Brother Chu. How about I book a private room in Juxiang Tower today and invite Brother Chu to have a few drinks?”
For the sake of the emperor of the Chu family and his son, he took the initiative to get close to him and build a relationship. From Crown Prince Chu to Brother Chu, he seemed to be very familiar with Chu Jingqi.
Are you not familiar with her? This is his future fifth brother-in-law. He must first establish a good relationship with Chu Jingqi so that he can easily match up his fifth sister to him in the future.
Young Prince Rong was planning secretly while dealing with Chu Jingqi. With his eyes, he also peeked into the Chu family's carriage from time to time. He was almost preoccupied with three things.
As for Chu Yu, he really wanted to see her true face and see if she was as beautiful as the rumors outside.
