After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Chapter 195: I’m not helping the Cheng family, I’m helping myself

After all the calculations, Chu Chengye had been emperor for less than three years, and it had only been five years since he came to Beijing from the vassal state.

He still doesn't understand this capital, this palace, so many people, so many things, and so many things.

There are not many people who are willing to help a prince who rebels halfway.

The Cheng family is the majority among this minority.

Therefore, Cheng Sheng must be saved, not only because he is Cheng Jin's brother, but he is also a respected general in Southern Qi with great military exploits.

Chu Chengye turned to Chu Ying and twitched the corner of his mouth, "The emperor also knows that there are too few people in the palace that I can trust in this court."

"You're not helping the Cheng family, you're helping me."

If Chu Chengye really abandoned Cheng Sheng in order to maintain the short-term peace in the court, then what difference would there be between him and the Chu Chengye in the book that Cheng Jin mentioned.

Beneath the brief calm lies turbulent waves.

There will be no difference between what he despises and what he wants to change.

Chu Ying didn't say anything else, he just asked. Although he was not often in the capital, the entire Cheng family suddenly became popular in front of Chu Chengye, so he could not help but pay attention to remind Chu Chengye of their true intentions.

He originally thought that the Cheng family was no different from the corrupt officials who pretended to be smooth-talking in front of Chu Chengye, and he was also secretly investigating the Cheng family.

But the facts disappointed him. Chu Ying, the whole Cheng family, could not find a crime that could be mentioned in front of Chu Chengye.

Even Concubine Rong, who would inevitably get into trouble with jealousy and trouble after being in the harem for a long time, suddenly changed her temper.

He also knew that Chu Chengye had seen the right person.

After Cheng Sheng's news came out, Chu Ying didn't believe it at first, but the accusations in the letter came from the front, and there was no chance to explain.

Chu Ying also did not want Nan Qi to lose Cheng Sheng, a good general. In addition to returning the favor of Chu Chengye to avenge him, he also really wanted Cheng Sheng to come back from the border safely.

Chu Ying nodded, and raised his hand to wave to Chu Chaochao, who was playing happily in the distance, "Chaochao, don't mess with things in the emperor's palace, come here quickly."

When Chu Ying called her, Chu Chaochao stood up immediately. She ran towards Chu Ying at a trot. When she heard Chu Ying scolding herself, she curled her lips slightly aggrievedly.

"It's so boring here, there's no one to talk to."

After finishing speaking, he made a face at Chu Chengye, "Brother Huang wouldn't be so stingy."

Chu Chengye looked at the swing that was still swinging and shook his head.

"It's okay. If you like it, I'll have someone make one for you and send it to your palace."

Chu Chaochao nodded fiercely and said: "Brother Huang is so generous, but why did Brother Huang install such a swing in the palace? I have never seen Brother Huang play with it, and there is no need for anyone to make another one. I like this very much."

It was not surprising that Chu Chao asked.

Chu Chengye's palace was so deserted, and it seemed that even the flowers and plants had clear positions where they should fall, but this swing was incompatible with Chu Chengye's Jingyang Palace.

The wooden swing is not anything special, but it is painted with some flower patterns on it, which is particularly unique. Even the wooden stakes on the swing are carefully wrapped with flower vines, and it looks like it at first glance. Little girls will love it.

That's right, Chu Chaochao fell in love with this swing as soon as he came to Jingyang Palace.

Everything in this palace seems to be meaningless. The square house seems to trap people here.

Chu Chengye feels this way even more. This swing is the only place where Chu Chengye can feel a little alive.

So I often stay in Jingyang Palace, not just because Chu Ying is here, but also because there is this beautiful swing.

Chu Chaochao came close to Chu Chengye and said coquettishly: "I really like it. Brother Huang is the best. He will give it to me, right?"

After hearing Chu Chaochao's words, Chu Chengye approached the swing, and he refused Chu Chaochao's request without hesitation.

"No, I can have someone make one or two more for you, or as many as you want. I can't give you this one."

When Chu Chaochao heard Chu Chengye's refusal so quickly, he immediately lost his face and looked at a loss, "Why, brother Huang, I haven't even seen you sit there, you can't just be a decoration and enjoy it, right?"

Chu Chengye shook his head, "This is different."

Chu Chengye still remembers Cheng Jin's expression when the swing was just finished, his eyes were shining like stars, and he sat on the swing all morning.

She felt that the swing was too monotonous, so she took the initiative to find materials and decorate the swing to spend some time. At that time, Chu Chengye saw it and did not invite her to join in the creation.

"It's not that no one is playing, it's just that the people who want to play don't come."

At this moment, Chu Chaochao also came over.

"That's right. When will she come?"

Chu Chaochao said.

Chu Chengye looked at the position of the swing in trance, as if Cheng Jin was gently swinging the swing in this position and smiling.

When will it come?

Chu Chengye was not sure either.

Chu Chengye secretly watched Cheng Jin several times, and saw that she was so tired from practicing that she collapsed on the ground, but she did not dare to show weakness and continued to stand up.

Chu Chengye felt distressed that he couldn't do anything. He couldn't even say anything to persuade Cheng Jin. In the final analysis, it was his incompetence.

He knew why Cheng Jin was working so hard, but he couldn't make Cheng Jin relax.

Chu Chaochao didn't hear Chu Chengye's reply, so he said to himself: "It would be great if she could come. I am really bored in my palace alone. If I could talk to her, maybe I wouldn't follow her all the time. You guys are asking for this swing."

Chu Chaochao said and raised his hand to touch the pillars of the swing.

"Everything about this swing is good, and the decoration on it is beautiful, but a few flowers are a bit rough."

Chu Chengye followed Chu Chaochao's gaze as he lit the wood, and saw that everything she painted was painted by Chu Chengye.

Chu Chaochao silently picked up the paint on the fan, as if he wanted to see if he could change it.

Chu Chengye: "..."

No wonder Cheng Jin said on the surface that his paintings were so ingenious and lifelike that they would definitely be worth a lot of silver if sold to the public, but he secretly complained in his heart:

[What a wonderful painting technique. 】

[Should I sell it for one or two? If you sell it, I will report it to the official. 】

He didn't look carefully at that time, but now when he combines the two people's paintings, it's really very different.

It was Chu Ying who saw the unnatural look on Chu Chengye's face and the slightly twitching corners of his mouth, and quickly stopped Chu Chaochao from continuing to criticize: "Chaochao, don't be rude."

"Since the emperor has said that this swing is very important to him, don't force it on others."

Chu Chaochao nodded, "I understand."

Chu Chengye wanted to send the two of them out so that he could visit Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin was in a bad mood because of Cheng Sheng's affairs, so he thought it would be good to take a look from a distance.

I really can’t resist the thoughts in my heart.

But Chu Chaochao seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly turned around and said to Chu Chengye: "Oh, right, right, a girl came to see you just now."
