In the hall, Chu Chen was leaning on the recliner and waiting for Lu Jing to come back. When he heard footsteps coming from the door, he said weakly without raising his head: "You're back? Did you catch it?"

"What did you catch?" Mu Tiankuo's voice came from behind.

Chu Chen stood up in a jerk, and blurted out, "It's you?"

Mu Tiankuo frowned and asked, "It's not Gu, who should it be?"

Hearing the coldness in his voice, Chu Chen couldn't help shrinking his neck, subconsciously stepped back a few steps and moved to stand behind the reclining chair.

"Gu heard that you vomited badly after breakfast, so I came over to have a look." Mu Tiankuo's face was not very good-looking at first, but when he saw Chu Chen's pale face, he frowned a little bit, and asked : "But you can't get used to the food in the Eastern Palace?"

"No, no." Chu Chen hurriedly said, "I'm just too full to hold on."

Mu Tiankuo recalled the situation of breakfast, nodded, and secretly reflected that he hadn't thought carefully, and had been frantically serving Chu Chen vegetables in order to run on Lu Jing, but he didn't expect to hold him up.The same goes for Chu Chen, he couldn't refuse even after eating too much...

"Gu will bring you food next time, don't force yourself if you don't want to eat." Mu Tiankuo said.

"I see." Chu Chen nodded hurriedly.

Mu Tiankuo saw that Chu Chen was not at ease all the time, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't want to force him, so he said: "I'm going to leave first, let the doctor come over later, and I don't have to go to the palace banquet today."

"No need!" Hearing this, Chu Chen thought, why would he need the pill if he didn't go to the palace banquet?And when the doctor came, didn't he reveal his secrets? Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "I'm fine, there is no need to invite the doctor, the palace banquet will continue as usual."

"Are you sure?" Mu Tiankuo looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Chu Chen said, "I'm really fine."

Seeing that Chu Chen was looking at him expectantly, Mu Tiankuo couldn't bear to ignore him, so he nodded.

"After a while, I will have someone cook a bowl of porridge and bring it over. Let's have a couple of mouthfuls." Mu Tiankuo said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Chen said hurriedly.

After Mu Tiankuo left, Lu Guan came back with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"That..." Lu Jing glanced at Chu Chen, and for a moment didn't know how to tell him about it.Although Chu Chen said before that he didn't care whether Mu Tiankuo raised someone in the East Palace, but when it happened, even if he accepted it emotionally, it would still be embarrassing.

And looking at the pitiful look of that young man, he might not feel comfortable living in the East Palace.

What bad habits does Mu Tian have if he doesn't keep everything in order, otherwise why would he beat and scold people at every turn?

no!Lu Jing secretly thought that this matter cannot be told to Chu Chen for the time being, because it will cause trouble for him, and it will not change anything.It's better for him to think of a way secretly, whether it's negotiating with Mu Tiankuo or using other methods, it's best to think of a way to get the best of both worlds to resolve this matter.

As long as Mu Tiankuo can promise to treat Chu Chen kindly in the future, and won't treat other moths...

After all, the marriage between Chu Chen and the other party was a foregone conclusion, and neither he nor Chu Chen had the ability to change it.

Before lunch, Mu Tiankuo personally came to pick Chu Chen into the palace.

Lu Jing also attended the palace banquet as the representative of Da Chu's mission to see off his relatives.

There are not too many people in today's palace banquet, but all the people who participated are famous and respected people in Yao country.In addition to Mu Tiankuo, Chu Shen and Lu Jing, there are also the Emperor of Yao Kingdom, Empress, National Teacher, officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the current husband-in-law of Princess Ning An, the general of Yao Kingdom.

The general looked like he was in his early thirties, and he looked quite heroic, but he kept his face cold, and he didn't look easy to get along with.Chu Chen originally thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to him and inquire about Princess Ning An, but now it seems that it is not easy.

The emperor of Yao Kingdom was very enthusiastic about Chu Chen, and personally raised a glass to explain the faux pas to Chu Chen, and punished himself with a glass of wine.

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals also apologized to Chu Chen and Lu Jing, and punished themselves with three cups.

The tone of both of them was quite particular. Although they explained that the negligence was Da Chu's responsibility and not out of Yao Kingdom's original intention, they also left a bit of leeway and did not embarrass Chu Chen too much.In a word, the implication is that Yao Guo never thought of neglecting Chu Chen in any way.

Chu Chen: ...

He has been a prince in Dachu for so many years, and he has never received such courtesy. The king of a country apologized to him in person...

"We will be a family from now on. Now that things have become like this, let's make up for the princess when we get married." The queen smoothed things over with a smile on her face, and said to Chu Shen: "The people from the Ministry of Rites are already here. It’s time to choose a date, and when you have an idea, I will send it to you and the crown prince as soon as possible, whether it is the ceremony or details of the wedding, as long as you have an idea, just ask them to do it.”

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly nodded yes, feeling puzzled and apprehensive.Today, he thought that he would probably be beaten at the palace banquet, and maybe he would use Da Chu's affairs to crowd out and tease him a few more words, but these people, from the emperor to the officials, treated him very politely and did not care about him at all. No malice.

In short, today's treatment made Chu Chen feel a little unreal.

He even speculated about "the heart of a villain", is there any conspiracy in it?

It's no wonder that he has such thoughts, after all, when he was in Dachu, even if he was the emperor's own son, every time he was at a palace banquet, he had to be cautious and cautious, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body if he was not careful.

"I heard from the national teacher that you took good care of the emperor when you were in Dachu, didn't you?" the queen asked.

"No!" Chu Chen hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness... I am not familiar with me, only fortunately I met twice at the palace banquet."

Chu Chen's reaction was too abrupt, the queen was taken aback when she heard the words, and turned to look at Mu Tiankuo.Mu Tiankuo's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't see any emotion, so he just said lightly: "The princess said yes." Chu Chen was slightly relieved when he heard this.

"The prince went to Dachu as a hostage when he was 12 years old. He has suffered a lot in a foreign country all these years." The queen said, "During these years, I couldn't help but think of him every time during the festival. It's a pity that he is a young man who doesn't even have anyone to greet him."

The queen's eye circles turned red as she spoke, and she was about to cry.

Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly said: "Today is the first time the Crown Princess meets us, why is the Empress talking so much about her displeasure?"

"Yes, I lost my composure." The queen said hastily.

Hearing this, Chu Chen looked at Mu Tiankuo, and saw that the other side was still cold and emotionless.

Chu Chen knew before that that Mu Tiankuo was ranked ninth among the princes of Yao Kingdom, and was born by the empress.But it is said that many of the eight princes in front of Mu Tiankuo are not the emperor's own sons, but adopted sons adopted by the emperor and empress.The emperor and the empress had only three princes, one of whom died early, and the rest were the ninth prince, Mu Tiankuo, and the tenth prince, Mu Tian/xing.

Chu Chen originally thought that since Mu Tiankuo could be sent to Dachu as a hostage, it meant that his status in the royal family of Yao Kingdom was probably not very high, and maybe the emperor and empress didn't love him.But what he saw at the palace banquet today made Chu Chen feel that it was not what he thought.

He was also a little dazed for a moment, not sure what the current situation of Yao's royal family was like.

"Don't think about it, eat something." Mu Tiankuo stretched out his chopsticks to help Chu Chen pick up the food and put it in his bowl.

Just as Chu Chen was about to eat, he remembered how he vomited like that in the morning, and felt terrified. He was afraid that he would vomit again at the palace banquet, so he put down the chopsticks again.

Mu Tiankuo's expression darkened when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.

In the morning, he said it himself, the other party doesn't have to eat if he doesn't want to eat.

Seeing that the banquet was in the second half, and the atmosphere during the banquet was always very lively, Chu Chen glanced at Lu Jing and winked at him, which meant that he could mention the elixir.Otherwise, if it drags on, after this village, there will be no such shop.

So Lu Jing coughed lightly, offered a toast to everyone, and then said: "This time Lu came to your country, one is to escort His Highness the Sixth Highness, and the other is to be ordered by the crown prince to ask the national teacher to give you medicine. .”

The national teacher glanced at the emperor when he heard the words, the emperor nodded, and the national teacher said: "This matter is easy to say, now that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has lived in the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in return, the poor Taoist should also offer the elixir. "

Hearing this, Lu Jing and Chu Chen looked at each other, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Mu Tiankuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I'm not allowed."

Everyone heard the words and looked at Mu Tiankuo in unison, feeling a little puzzled for a while.Regarding the matter of granting medicine, the national teacher and the emperor had reached a consensus before, anyway, Yao Kingdom does not lack this little medicine, so it doesn't hurt to give some of it.But none of the people expected that the prince would come out to stop it at the critical moment.

"The marriage between Gu and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Chu is to pray for peace between the two countries, and secondly...to complete the marriage between Gu and him. There is nothing else other than that." Mu Tiankuo said: "Guo What is the meaning of Master giving the elixir to Lord Lu Xiaohou at this time? Could it be that the marriage between Gu and the Crown Princess is only worth these few elixir?"

"Your Highness, forgive me." The national teacher hurriedly said.

"Young Master Lu, go back and tell the Crown Prince and His Majesty of your country that the lonely Crown Princess will hire her with ten thousand gold, and nothing else will be discussed." Mu Tiankuo said coldly.

Hearing this, Chu Chen looked at Mu Tiankuo in a daze, and didn't recover for a long time.

A day ago, he was just an abandoned child abandoned by Da Chu, and he was only worth the price of a box of pills.

Today, Mu Tiankuo actually said that he would be hired with ten thousand gold!What is the concept of Wanjin?

With the price of the elixir prescribed by the national teacher to Da Chu, Chu State can buy half a carload of elixir with this money!

Based on the betrothal gift that Chu Chen gave Lu Jing at the beginning, he could hire Lu Jing dozens of times!

This Mu Tiankuo...is...too rich!

After the palace banquet was over, Mu Tiankuo directly sent someone to send Chu Chen back to the East Palace.

But he kept Lu Xuan.

Lu Jing knew at the palace banquet that Mu Tiankuo would definitely look for him, and she was already prepared.

Right now, Mu Tiankuo has vetoed the matter of donating medicine with one sentence, which means that Lu Jing can't go back to the business.

As for the ten thousand gold dowry, even if Mu Tiankuo was sent to Da Chu, it has nothing to do with Lu Jing.

Moreover, the emperor of Dachu was dying and waiting for the elixir to continue his life. If he was delayed for ten days and a half months, after he returned to Dachu, he would probably be in time for the national funeral.At that time, if there is any dissatisfaction on the part of the crown prince, Lu Jing will inevitably be blamed, and Ding Nanhou may be implicated.

"When was your wedding originally scheduled?" Mu Tiankuo asked.

"Ah?" Lu Jing was dumbfounded by his question, and only realized after a while, and said, "July 28."

Mu Tiankuo nodded and said: "It's a good day. The wedding ceremony between Gu and the princess should be scheduled for July 26 two days in advance."

Lu Guan: ...

Are you alright?What is there to compare this matter with? ? ?

"His Royal Highness, Lu..."

"Young Lord and Gu have some friendship, and they also met the Crown Princess. You must come to have a glass of wedding wine for Gu and his big wedding." Mu Tiankuo said, "Gu will send a document To Chu Xiao, just say that Lu Xiaohou and Gu are very close, and Gu will keep you in Wangcheng for a few more days."

Lu Guan: ...

Which one is this guy singing?

"Is His Highness the Crown Prince dissatisfied with Lu's plan to get married with His Highness the Sixth Highness in the capital that day?" Lu Jing asked.

Mu Tiankuo said: "Gu Ruo is dissatisfied with you, can you still stand here and talk to Gu?"

Lu Xuan was taken aback, and asked, "Then why is this Your Highness?"

"Didn't I just say that? I've found love with you, and I'll let you stay longer." Mu Tiankuo said, "As a thank you gift, I will give medicine to Mr. Yue Zhang in my own name. You don't have to worry about Chu Xiao's surrender." It's your fault."

Lu Jing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and Mu Tiankuo was quite particular in his heart, as long as the elixir arrived in the capital, his mission would be considered complete.

"Come here, take Master Lu back to the East Palace." Mu Tiankuo ordered.

Lu Xuan bowed to him and left with the palace servants.

After Mu Tiankuo frowned and glanced at the pillars, he said coldly: "Since the national teacher has heard about it, I will trouble the national teacher to prepare the elixir that I gave to Mr. Yuezhang in advance, and I will take it alone tomorrow. "

"Yes." The national teacher behind the pillar hurriedly said.

After Mu Tiankuo left, the person behind the national teacher sneaked out his head, and that person was Mu Tian/Xing.

"Does Brother Jiu know that I am hiding here?" Mu Tian/Xing asked/asked.

"He has excellent hearing. When he looked over just now, he could count how many times your heart beat extra." The national teacher said.

Mu Tian/Xing sighed, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Ninth Brother doesn't like heroes, why did you keep him in Wangcheng?"

"You don't understand a man's mind even if you tell me." The national teacher shook his head and said.

"I'm only half a year younger than Brother Jiu, and I'm also a man!" Mu Tian/Xing said dissatisfied.

The national teacher rubbed his head and said: "Back then, the poor man had a misunderstanding with His Highness the Sixth Highness, but then His Highness Sixth made an engagement with that hero of yours."

"Ah?" Mu Tian/Xing asked in surprise, "Hero and sister-in-law?"

"Men, what you are most afraid of is not the enemy in front of you, but the enemy in your heart." The national teacher said solemnly: "In terms of feelings, the best way to defeat a person is not to drive him farther away The better, but keep him under your nose."

Mu Tian nodded his head half-understood, and asked: "But I think the hero is better than Brother Nine, he speaks softly and doesn't attack people, isn't Brother Nine afraid of losing to him? What if sister-in-law still prefers heroes?"

The national teacher looked at Mu Tian/Xing and shook his head when he heard the words, His Highness Xindao had been beaten so many times, and he didn't have a long memory.

As for what he said just now, if he heard it, he would be sorry for the brotherhood if he didn't fight for three days and three nights.
