Chapter 627 If you're going to make a scene, make it a complete spectacle.
Chu Chenyu froze completely.
Overwhelmed with joy, he felt dizzy, but in the next instant, a figure carrying a feather duster, walking with a gust of wind, capable of smashing a glass screen, suddenly rushed into his mind.
He shuddered, his joy instantly replaced by terror.
No!
Absolutely not!
If we let Gu Qingchen, this impetuous troublemaker, stay in the manor any longer, what if he offends Qinghan and causes a miscarriage?
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.
“She can’t stay here any longer,” Chu Chenyu said decisively.
"My husband, Qingchen is still a child..."
"Qinghan, listen to me." Chu Chenyu gripped his wife's hand tightly. "I can't take this risk. That bastard Gu Junze is off having a good time, leaving me with this hot potato. I can't joke around with you and our child."
Where was it sent?
Oh, by the way, his second sister's eldest child went south with their parents. His second sister also gave birth to a niece. Whether he raises one or two, it's the same...
He made a quick decision and immediately summoned the steward: "Prepare the carriage! Take Miss...to my second sister's residence! Tell her, tell her she misses her second aunt!"
In the evening, Yingqing finished her shift and returned to her small residence in the capital.
Pushing open the door, I didn't see my wife's gentle smile or the baby's cries as I had imagined.
There was a young girl sitting confidently in the armchair in the main hall of his house.
One leg was crossed, the other was swinging rhythmically, and he was holding a half-eaten apple in his hand, making a "crunch" sound.
It was Gu Qingchen.
Ying Qing's expression froze instantly.
"Uncle Yingqing, you're back!" Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up when he saw him. He finished the apple in a few bites and casually tossed the core aside.
"My uncle said I missed you so much that he let me stay at your house for a few days!"
Ying Qing looked at her expressionlessly.
His Duke, who was so shrewd and resourceful, was indeed a prophet.
Even Lord Chu knew perfectly well that he wouldn't last more than a few days and what excuse he would use to send the young lady back.
He took a deep breath, nodded to the Chu family steward behind his young lady who looked as if he had been granted a pardon, and then turned to Gu Qingchen.
"Miss, the Duke gave other instructions before leaving the capital."
"What are your orders?" Gu Qingchen asked curiously.
"Instruct your subordinates to take you to a more lively place."
With that, Yingqing led the curious Gu Qingchen out the door, turned a corner, and went straight back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, bringing Qian Zhenyun along as well.
"By order of the Duke, we invite Young Master Qian to accompany us to the palace to study."
He thought that his young lady might not be able to concentrate her firepower effectively on her own.
If you're going to make a scene, make it with all the right accessories.
Half an hour later, in the Imperial Study.
Emperor Zhao Yunci looked at Ying Qing, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who was kneeling before him with two teenagers.
One of them was his future daughter-in-law, and the other was her notorious "accomplice," leaving him momentarily stunned.
"How is this going?"
Yingqing's face showed just the right amount of distress and weariness, and her voice carried a hint of pleading.
"Your Majesty, it is not that I am being presumptuous, but rather... my family is facing difficulties."
He kowtowed heavily with a "plop".
"My wife has just given birth to a baby and is weak. She cries day and night, and the house is really... really noisy."
“Miss is of noble birth and lively nature. My small space is really too small for her, and I am even more afraid of disturbing her rest.”
He delivered a vivid and moving performance, perfectly portraying the image of a loyal subordinate troubled by family matters.
"Before leaving, the Duke instructed me that if it was truly inconvenient for me to take care of my family, I could... I dare to ask His Majesty for grace."
"The Duke said that under heaven, only the vastness of the imperial palace can accommodate the young lady's temperament; only His Majesty's divine power can teach the young lady to become a talent."
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Yunci's lips twitched uncontrollably.
You bastard Gu Junze!
What an old fox!
This was because he knew his nephew was unreliable, that Yingqing's family had a pregnant woman, and finally, that he, the emperor, was eagerly waiting for his daughter to come to him!
Is he trying to get rid of a burden?
No, he's precisely feeding the baby!
Looking down at Gu Qingchen, who was curiously examining the golden dragon pillar in the hall, and the Qian family boy who was almost fainting from fright, Zhao Yunci's slight displeasure was instantly washed away by immense joy.
The opportunity is coming!
He cleared his throat, put on a kind and amiable smile, and quickly walked down the steps to help Yingqing up.
"Please rise! My dear minister, you have devoted yourself to the country; how can I allow you to be troubled by family matters!"
He patted Yingqing on the shoulder, his gaze falling on Gu Qingchen, and smiled like a kind elder.
"I think this child is very likable! Very well, let her stay in the palace! Let her study and practice calligraphy with the Crown Prince, she'll have a good companion!"
"I, it's approved!"
Yingqing bowed and took her leave, following the young eunuch out of the imperial study.
Only after stepping out of that heavy palace door did Yingqing's straight back relax slightly.
He glanced back, a faint hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes.
Naive.
Your Majesty is still too naive.
He thought he had gained a precious future daughter-in-law, and a playmate to amuse the crown prince.
But what the Duke sent was not a confidante at all; it was clearly a little devil who could poke a hole in the sky.
This palace is probably even more bustling than the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Inside the imperial study, Zhao Yunci looked at the girl in front of him who had finally stopped looking at the pillar with curiosity and instead began to study the paperweight on his desk. His joy was almost overflowing.
He instructed the chief eunuch Wei De, who was standing to the side, "Go and take Qingchen and the Qian family boy to the Empress."
He then looked at Gu Qingchen, his smile becoming even more amiable: "Qingchen, from now on you will live in the palace. Get to know your future home beforehand."
Gu Qingchen blinked, not understanding what "future home" meant, but she understood the phrase "living in the palace".
This is much more impressive than my uncle's house and Uncle Yingqing's house!
The resentment she felt about being abandoned by her parents was instantly washed away by the overwhelming wealth and novelty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" she replied crisply, her voice loud and clear.
Zhao Yunci was overjoyed to hear her call him "Uncle Emperor" and burst into laughter.
