Chapter 394

"Lord," Xiyu lowered his eyes and arched his hands. "Lord Zhao asked to see you outside. I don't know if the prince met?"

"Lord Zhao. Is there an unmarried lady in the family?" Chu Chengxun raised his eyebrows. "No, he asked me. I'm just like Lord Sun and Lord Li. I just want to get married. I'm not interested in any of their daughters. It's better to find a suitable official position."

Xiyu was stunned. Some people said strangely, "don't the prince despise their official positions and dislike that their daughter's birth is too low?"

"It has nothing to do with birth. It's just that the daughters of these adults can't enter the harem. They just want to send them to me. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. They just want to take the opportunity to have a relationship with the royal family. I'm not interested in such a person who is arrogant and powerful," Chu Chengxun gently exhaled, "For the woman I like, whether she is a noble in heaven or from a humble background, as long as I like it, all this is not a problem."

"What the LORD said is true. How could the Lord care about such a trivial and right thing," Xi Yu nodded. "It's just that it's time for the Lord to get married at his age. That day, the slave went back to the palace to pick up things and met the emperor on the way. He also specially asked the slave if the LORD had met a woman he liked, and he could marry him in person."

"I like who he knows better than me. Saying such words just wants to push me out," Chu Chengxun flashed a strange look at the bottom of his eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "you don't have to go back and forth to me if you listen to such words in the future. I'm really annoyed and have no interest in other women."

"The emperor also thinks that if you don't marry other women, you will miss the queen one day," Xi Yu's eyes darkened. "Lord, it's not suitable to remember what you can't get. The Queen's position in Huade palace is under one person. She doesn't dare to put people under her. Lord, why don't you miss a flower?"

"She's not a flower. She used to be a bright moon in my night sky, which can't be replaced. Since I can't let her go, I don't want to involve other women. Marry me, a person who will never be emotional to her," Chu Chengxun closed his lips into a line, "I don't miss her, but I'm just reluctant to give up. Even the queen has a lower position than the emperor. If I were to be on an equal footing with her."

"Lord, don't read this," Xiyu sighed helplessly. "If the emperor doesn't like it, and the slave meets someone who wants to propose to you in the future, just pretend to be deaf and ignore it."

"You're smart," Chu Chengxun glanced at him obliquely. "Didn't you just say that I can't give up? Is it the same with that Liuyuan resident?"

Xiyu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would mention Liu Yuan. He immediately showed a bitter smile. "The lay is the same as the queen. In the end, the falling flowers are affectionate and the flowing water has no intention."

"That's not the same. You always met Liu Yuan first, how many steps ahead of Xu Hanfei," Chu Chengxun said with a low eyebrow. "But I'm just a matter of time. I can only have no fate with her. You really didn't grasp this opportunity."

Xiyu frowned. "It's her own business who she likes. It's no use talking more. If she really doesn't like slaves, they have no way."

"You're open to it. If I had such a chance, I wouldn't be able to see the cooked duck fly."

"The Lord's obsession is still too deep. It's better to understand," Xi Yu looked a little unnatural. "Things like love don't come first, come first. It's better to see the happiness of your beloved woman than to earn a world shaking."

"You have more research in this area than I do," Chu Chengxun looked at him with complex eyes. "Yes, after all, you are also a person from the nobility. There is no superficial loneliness at all."

Chu Zongge seems particularly happy these days. With the joy of Xu Hanfei's divine help and the excitement of his new father and wife's pregnancy, his posture at the reception banquet adds a bit of a king's demeanor to his arrogance.

Chu Changqing secretly observed him for a few eyes, and the corner of his lips raised an arc, "the Emperor didn't tell us that childe Xu came to have dinner tonight, which surprised me."

"Is that so?" Chu Zongge asked knowingly. "You and he are brothers I haven't seen for many years. I will definitely invite your brother to the reception banquet. After all, the bond between your brothers is also me."

Chu Changqing narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Xu Hanfei opposite. He was very unnatural under the soft candlelight. He even dared not look at himself. He drank a few drinks and pretended to be calm before he looked at him.

General Kur felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and it was not easy to meddle in his own business. He was bored while drinking and eating meat. Princess Gu knew nothing about the stiff atmosphere. Her green eyes swept around the table and even looked at the emperor.

Chu Zongge was in a good mood and took a chopstick of pumpkin cake. He noticed Gu's strange eyes and looked at her with a playful smile. "Princess Gu, how do you think the dishes in the palace are still in line with your appetite? I'm afraid you're not used to eating."

"It's OK. It's more than Xirong's, and there are more kinds of dishes than Xirong's," Gu Shan blinked, and a trace of cunning flashed across his eyes. "But my eating method in Xirong is even more powerful. Unlike people in the state of Qin who use chopsticks one by one, it's strange to be small. We drink a lot and eat a lot of meat there."

General Kur coughed softly. "Princess, this is the rule of the people of the state of Qin. They don't seem to live in the desert and grassland. They are naturally careful in the plain area."

Gu Gu made a naughty face, "I'm just telling the truth, but the dishes of the state of Qin are better than those of Xirong. I'm praising the state of Qin."

Chu Zongge looked at his little niece in his previous life and felt some meaning. "The princess said it well. If the princess likes it, she can drink and eat meat at this banquet like you did in Xirong. I will never mind."

Gu Gu's eyes lit up, but naturally he didn't dare to make a mistake. "The emperor understands me. I'm very grateful, but since I entered the place of Kyoto in the state of Qin, I can't break the rules like the people of the state of Qin."

Chu Zongge smiled, picked up his cup and said to everyone present, "cheers, everyone. On such a big day, on behalf of the people of the state of Qin, I welcome the envoy of Xirong from afar."

The envoys of Xirong took their seats and touched their glasses with wine glasses to show their respect. Chu Changqing drank all the wine in the glasses in one gulp, and there seemed to be a fire in his throat. Xu Hanfei just took a small sip and sat down calmly.

"Chu emissary," Chu Zongge asked, raising his eyebrows. "I heard that you and the princess grew up together. You were childhood sweethearts and never guessed."

Chu Changqing was slightly stunned and said to him, "indeed, the minister grew up with the princess and was as close as brother and sister. Therefore, it was specially assigned by Emperor Xirong to send the princess to the state of Qin this time."

"Really, Emperor Xirong knows your relationship very well," said Chu Zongge with an unfathomable smile, "but won't you be sad when your own sister is married to such a place?"

Chu Changqing's pupils tightened and a vague voice came out of his throat. "The minister will be sad, but sadness is always inevitable. This plan should not be shelved because of the temporary sadness between the minister and the emperor Xirong. After all, compared with sadness, the relationship between the state of Qin and Xirong is the most important."

Chu Zongge touched the Buddha beads on his wrist and said softly with a smile: "does your emperor mean that the peace contract concluded between the state of Qin and Xirong is as long as it is a peace marriage, and as long as the princess becomes the queen of the state of Qin, there will be no war?"

Chu Changqing's eyes inevitably showed a trace of pride, "the emperor meant that the peace and contentment of the people of Qin and Xirong is always more important than war, so he only put forward such a condition, which is not a very difficult thing. He only asked the princess to become the queen of Qin. Princess Gu is the only blood left by the great queen, and can absolutely match the emperor in blood."

"I don't doubt the blood of the princess. After all, she is the daughter of the first queen and the first princess of Xirong," Chu Zongge smiled with a faint smile and his eyes became deeper and deeper. "However, the difficult question is to say another thing. There is only one queen in my harem. What's good?"

Chu Changqing's smile on his lips stiffened. "The princess of Xirong has always been the queen after she went out. If the first princess of Xirong is just a concubine, how do the people of Xirong look at the royal family? The royal family they support is just a concubine in the eyes of others. I'm afraid the emperor can't promise."

"You're right. Princess Gu can't be a imperial concubine or wife with such a noble status. I don't have such an unrealistic idea," Chu Zongge said with a smile on his lips. "As expected, he is as close as a brother and sister. Envoy Chu really thinks of the princess in everything and is more competent than a brother. Xu Hanfei must be very happy after having such a brother."

Xu Hanfei stared at Chu Changqing with a smile. "Yes, brother used to be very good to his minister. Since he came to the state of Qin, he often remembered his brother's appearance in his dream. He really lingered in his mind and refused to leave."

Chu Changqing stared at him for a few eyes, but he was also smiling. "Yes, I'm very good to my brother. My brother misses me so much. I saw my brother today. It's true that I never forget it. There must be an echo."

"That's good," Chu Zongge pointed out a finger and smiled wantonly. "You look like you're reading. Your words are different. I appreciate you both very much. It can be seen that your parents can cultivate you."

"Thank you, emperor," Chu Changqing pursed his lips. "Thank you for the banquet tonight. After January, the princess will cook for the Emperor himself. Please come to our palace to taste it."

"Now it's the end of winter. When the princess cooks, it's almost early spring," Chu Zongge rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said with a smile. "Yes, I'll definitely taste it. This is the craft of the first princess of Xirong. It must be much better than my imperial dining room."

Chu Changqing's face was livid. "Then the princess began to prepare."
