"how?"

Seeing that Xiao Chen was no longer calculating, Xiao Yao hurriedly asked, "Are father and mother okay?"

"nothing."

It's normal to be fine.

She and Xie Yunchu also calculated the fortune that day, and it was also a very auspicious fortune.

However, their divination skills are not accurate and are only half-baked.

Now that I heard what my brother said, I felt relieved. "That's good. They should have arrived in Jinzhou."

Xiao Chen shook his head, "Not yet."

"Not yet?"

"Well, it looks like it's quite close to the capital." Xiao Chen said.

Xiao Yao instantly perked up, "Where is it? I'm going to see my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."

Xiao Chen looked at her and said, "You are the ruler of a country now. If you go back and forth, it will only delay the affairs of state."

Let my brother say this.

Xiao Yao instantly lost her temper and looked at Xiao Chen with a bit of coquettishness and resentment.

Xiao Chen was a little confused.

"Do you have any problem with me?" Xiao Chen asked bluntly.

Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "No, I dare not." The royal brother has returned, but he doesn't want to do anything for the country.

I spent the whole day in the Imperial Observatory, ah——

----

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the plum blossom viewing banquet.

In addition to the gorgeous ladies from noble families, there are also gorgeous gentlemen from noble families.

When Xie Yunchu saw those gorgeously dressed young men, he was completely stunned.

He looked at Chujiu: What's going on?

Chujiu said with a bitter face: Master, you said it yourself, all the gentlemen and ladies can participate.

He was right.

But what's the matter with these colorful young men? Isn't it obvious that they are coming for A Yao?

Chujiu cleared his throat, stood on tiptoe, and boldly asked his master to listen carefully.

Xie Yunchu lowered his head patiently.

Chujiu said: "They thought the master was going to select a concubine for the emperor, so there were more young men than young ladies."

Xie Yunchu: “…”

Is he crazy, serving Ayao?

"elder brother."

Just when Xie Yunchu was getting very angry, he heard Xie Ying's voice. He looked up and saw a girl in red walking towards him, "Brother, why are you still here?"

"what happened?"

"Those young masters are dragging the emperor to play pot tossing, what are you still doing here?"

Xie Yunchu looked at the plum blossoms blooming all over the yard, then looked in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, and then said to Chujiu: "The young lady is in your hands." Do you know what to do?

Chujiu nodded repeatedly. I know. Isn’t it just about matching the eldest lady with His Royal Highness the Prince Chen from the island in the middle of the lake?

Leaning against the plum garden.

The rest of the noble ladies and some young men gradually stepped into the Yime Garden, and gradually the sounds of laughter and reciting poems were heard.

Xie Ying was really worried about her brother, "You should go soon." The emperor had only been on the throne for two months when he was allowed to take a concubine.

"Ah."

Xie Yunchu frowned. He actually wanted to explain something to Xie Ying, but he felt that if he explained it too obviously, it might backfire.

So he had to tell Chujiu to take good care of Xie Ying and then left.

"Miss, I know a beautiful scenery. Why don't I take you there?" Chujiu suggested.

Xie Ying didn't think much about it and said, "Okay."

Since it was her brother who arranged for Chujiu to take care of her, he wouldn't harm her, right?

Does Chujiu have the courage?

"Miss, please follow me." Chujiu took two steps forward and led the way.

Hearing the voices of those noble ladies and gentlemen, Chujiu didn't want to delay any longer, lest someone see them. Then it would be inconvenient to send only the eldest lady to the island in the middle of the lake.

Xie Ying followed Chujiu, walking farther and farther, until they saw a large lake in front of them. There seemed to be some unmelted ice on the lake, but it had been destroyed artificially.

"Eunuch Chujiu."

On the boat by the lake, a young eunuch respectfully saluted Chujiu and Xie Ying, "The boat is ready."

Chujiu nodded and said, "Miss, look at the island in the middle of the lake. The plum blossoms there are the most beautiful."

Xie Ying looked towards the island in the middle of the lake. There was a pavilion inside and densely packed trees around it, what seemed to be various kinds of plum blossoms.

She saw only one ship.

And there were no other noble ladies or gentlemen nearby, so, this ship could carry her?

She looked at Chujiu: What's going on?

Chujiu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will never dare to tease you."

I dare not measure him.

But she was just wondering, who was on the island in the middle of the lake?

Also, after she entered the palace, she also inquired about her brother and the emperor.

I learned that the emperor lived in Wende Hall except for having meals with his brother in Jinrong Palace.

Xie Ying pulled Chujiu aside and said, "I'm not going."

"what?"

"I know everything. The emperor lives in Wende Hall. Except for dinner, he never stays in Jinrong Palace—"

Chujiu nodded, "That's right, but don't worry, Miss, the emperor and the master are very good."

"Okay?"

"Yeah." Chujiu nodded solemnly.

But Xie Ying didn't believe it, "If it's really good--" why would he live in Wende Hall.

But she was an unmarried girl after all, so how could she continue to discuss this with Chujiu?

Chujiu looked at Xie Ying, "Miss, are you worried that the master will be disliked by the emperor? Or, the emperor has never allowed the master to serve him closely?"

Xie Ying blushed, this is what he meant.

Chujiu thought about his master's instructions, and then recalled that the eldest lady had bought storybooks for her master, and was also trying to find a way to get His Royal Highness Prince Chen to leave the Imperial Observatory.

After thinking for a while, Chujiu suddenly understood that the master's intention was to match the eldest lady with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen.

Then he said, "Miss, if you really want to help the master, do you know who is on the island in the middle of the lake?"

Who?

Chujiu looked around, leaned over, and whispered, "Your Highness Prince Chen."

Xie Ying was shocked and looked at Chujiu in disbelief, "You, you said the island in the middle of the lake--" It was Xiao Chen!

Chujiu nodded.

But why did her brother let Chujiu take her to the island in the middle of the lake?

Chujiu cleared his throat and said, "Miss, haven't you always been trying to find a way to help the master? This is the servant's idea, not the master's."

Alas, as a person nowadays, you have to take the blame for many things.

Although it is not a big deal for a brother to help his sister find a brother-in-law, he still has to consider the face of many parties.

Xie Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but was nervous at the same time, "You, you, how can I help."

Chujiu took out a pile of portraits from her bosom and said, "All the noble ladies who came to the palace this time are in these portraits. Please take them to His Royal Highness the Prince to have a look."

"so much?"

Xie Ying took it, and Chujiu didn't let her think any more, "Hurry up and get on the boat, everyone will be here soon."

Ok.

Xie Ying had no choice but to take all the portraits and after getting on the boat, the young eunuch began to row the boat towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Xie Ying looked at Chujiu on the table and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have to go check on my master, to prevent him from being overwhelmed by himself and being taken advantage of by other men."

"Yep."

My brother has finally been able to be with the emperor, how can he let another man take advantage of him? "Then go quickly." Don't worry about her.
