"It's cold outside the palace, let the proton come in." The emperor said.

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards walked up to the proton holding the handle of the knife. Although the guard hadn't pulled out the handle of the knife, the threat was already obvious.The proton was also sensible, so he stepped into the hall with a step forward.

Only now did Chu Chen see clearly that the proton was wearing a half mask, and that mask covered most of the proton's face, only showing the lower half of his face.His thin lips were slightly pursed, without any color, and there were some stubble on his well-defined chin, making him look a bit depressed.

"Let's start helping the protons," the emperor said.

The emperor didn't call him by his name, he only addressed him as a proton, and he specially emphasized the word "Zhu/Xing", obviously deliberately wanting to humiliate the other party in person.But although this proton was young, he did not show his emotions or anger. Hearing this, he clenched his right fist and put it on his left chest, bowed slightly to the emperor, then picked up the jade flute and began to play.

The Xiao sound resounded in the hall, at first it was a little hoarse and low, with a somewhat dark and gloomy air, but soon the melody gradually became more passionate, and it was even more murderous.Chu Chen looked at Yao Guo's proton through the mask, and saw that the other party's eyes were indifferent, and he couldn't find the hostility in Xiao's voice.

With a high-pitched, sharp tune, the sound of Xiao stopped abruptly.

Proton put away the jade flute, and saluted the emperor again.

"Hehe." The emperor looked at the princes and asked: "The proton's tune is over, do you guys understand why? Prince, you are the heir apparent of the Great Chu Kingdom, so let me tell you first."

"Yes." The crown prince got up and bowed to the emperor, and said, "I feel that the Xiao sound is a bit bleak, and it is not suitable for the atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival, so it sounds boring."

The emperor nodded, seemingly satisfied with the crown prince's answer.

"What do you guys think?" The emperor looked at the other princes again.

The eldest prince and the second prince are both smart people, one said that he didn't understand the rhythm, and the other said that what the prince said was very true.

"My son thinks, it's better to let Proton play another song." The fourth prince said.

"Fourth brother is right, since it's just to add to the fun, let him make it more festive." The fifth prince also said.

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at the proton of Yao country with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Do you understand the proton?"

Proton bowed to the emperor when he heard the words, held the jade flute to his lips, and began to play again.

There was a sound of Xiao, sobbing and sobbing, not to mention a celebration, but a funeral.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down, the emperor's face turned serious, and he reached out and brushed off the teacup on the table. "Presumptuous!" the emperor shouted angrily.

Seeing the emperor's anger, everyone in the hall got up and fell to their knees.

Chu Chen took the opportunity to look at Proton, and saw a smile flickering across the corner of his pale lips.

The emperor noticed Chu Chen's gaze, his eyes fell on Chu Chen, and he asked coldly: "My lord, today the proton disturbed the elegance of the palace banquet, how do you think I should punish him?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Chen.Chu Chen's palms were sweating coldly, wondering why such an offending thing happened to him inexplicably?But at the moment the emperor was angry, no matter how he answered, there was no guarantee that the emperor would be satisfied, and he would definitely offend the proton.

Chu Chen saw that although this young man grew up in a foreign country, he still had a strong character and was not humble or cowardly at all. He couldn't help admiring him, and couldn't bear to let him be punished too severely today.

"Why? You don't speak, because you think I shouldn't punish him?" the emperor asked.

Chu Chen hurriedly confessed to the emperor: "My son feels that he should be punished, and he should be severely punished."

As soon as he said this, the emperor's face softened a lot, and he asked: "Then how do you think the heavy punishment should be?"

"I think...the people in the Ministry of Rites should find some music officials to play festive tunes in front of the proton day and night until the proton learns."

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud, and everyone in the hall also laughed together.

This trick is really naive, but it is indeed damaging enough.

"Just as His Highness Sixth Highness said, please listen to the seven days and seven nights first." The emperor said.

The people from the Ministry of Rituals responded hurriedly when they heard the words, and then some guards took away the proton.

Before leaving, Proton glanced in Chu Chen's direction, but Chu Chen didn't see his gaze clearly, but felt his neck go cold.Chu Chen thought to himself, I am here to help you out of good intentions. Although the method is somewhat costly, it is better than being beaten up, right?Don't you remember my revenge!

After the matter was disturbed by Chu Chen, the atmosphere in the hall has eased a lot just now.The Ministry of Rituals arranged some singing and dancing performances, and everyone was eating and drinking so lively, it seemed that they had already forgotten the episode just now.

At the end of the banquet, the imperial concubine seemed very happy to see the emperor, so she took the initiative to mention the marriage of the fifth prince.The fifth prince was half a year older than Chu Chen, and now that he was in his weakest years, it was not out of the ordinary to discuss marriage.

But when Chu Chen heard this, he became a little anxious. If the five princes got married, wouldn't he be the only unmarried prince in the dynasty?The imperial concubine looked domineering and reckless, but she did not expect that she was really meticulous in her actions, "Prince, what do you think of the matter that the imperial concubine mentioned?" The emperor turned to ask the prince.

The prince smiled and said: "My son was already married to the princess when he was 19 years old. When he was as old as the fifth brother, he already had children."

"What the prince said is very true." The noble concubine agreed.

"I feel that the fifth and sixth younger brothers are about the same age, and it's time to discuss marriage." The prince said.

At first, Chu Chen was a little worried that the fifth prince would get married, and he became the only target of the marriage. Now that he heard the prince say that, he couldn't help feeling grateful.Although the emperor meant that he did not intend to make a marriage, but the situation was changing rapidly, and Chu Chen had to prepare in advance.

If he became a relative, he would no longer have to worry about the marriage.

"The sixth prince is still young, and his temperament is still uncertain, so it's too early to discuss marriage?" the noble concubine said.

"The imperial concubine is worrying too much." Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Yesterday, the fifth elder brother also said that seeing no one around me was too lonely, so he deliberately took me to the boat to drink. If I become a family soon, I will Also save the fifth brother's daily diary to hang on to my loneliness."

Seeing that he brought up the old matter again, the fifth prince showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.The emperor looked around the noble concubine and the fifth prince, and said: "The marriage of the fifth and sixth sons should indeed be considered. The queen can also help me to share my worries, and see if there are any relatives in the court who have a relationship with the two." A man and woman of the right age for a royal son."

"Yes, the courtiers and concubines have written it down." The queen said.

The noble concubine saw that the situation was already like this, and she didn't dare to say anything, she just glanced at Chu Chen angrily.

Chu Chen didn't take it seriously, and said in his heart that he promised you to plan for your son's future, and why don't you allow me to make a living for myself?

What happened today, the noble concubine was so angry that after the banquet was over, she grabbed the fifth prince and scolded her.

The fifth prince was already cowardly, and he was used to being tortured by the noble concubine, so he just listened silently, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Look at you, it's no wonder your father looks down on you." The imperial concubine said bitterly, "I asked you to do such a thing, but you failed to do it, and you even attracted the attention of the prince. Look at that Chu Chen again. Originally, your father didn't even look at him, but today at the palace banquet, you coaxed your father to smile with a few words, and even gave the protégé of Yao Kingdom a favor. Why don't you know how to follow suit? point?"

The Fifth Prince murmured: "My son wants to learn, isn't he planning to build a good relationship with the sixth brother? But you insisted that I drug him, this time it's good, the sixth brother will ignore me!"

"Prescribe the medicine! How dare you mention the medicine!" The imperial concubine stretched out her hand and twisted his body, causing the fifth prince to yell in pain, "I told you to prescribe the medicine, but there is nothing wrong with him, but you drank a lot yourself. All the concubines in the entire mansion have no peace!"

The fifth prince blushed, and said: "Mother, can you stop putting eyeliner in my house? Why are these people talking about things in my room?"

"Fortunately, I sent someone to watch you. A few days ago, you secretly got the two male concubines in the mansion. I have already let your fourth brother send someone away." If you still dare to contaminate a man, you are not afraid to let your father know and send you to be married to the barbarians of Yao Kingdom?"

"Father and emperor have said that Yao Guo is the defeated general of our Great Chu, and he will not agree to the marriage." The fifth prince said with a bitter face: "And those two male favorites were found with great difficulty by my son, and Obedient and sensible, mother concubine, why are you...

"Crack!" The imperial concubine was so angry that she slapped the fifth prince on the face.

The fifth prince pursed his lips and dared not speak.

The imperial concubine looked sullen, she only hated herself for giving birth to such a brainless son, who was in the royal family but had no sense of crisis.

If Yao really had no confidence, how could he rashly ask for a marriage?

If the emperor didn't take Yao country seriously, why did he humiliate Yao country's proton like that today?

However, this silly son of hers, when she heard that there was no need for a marriage, she thought that she could sit back and relax.

But I don't know that the fate of the Great Chu country is gradually declining, and sooner or later everyone will be in danger...

No one knows where the news of the imperial concubine came from, but it is not fabricated.

Cangsui, who fought against Dachu a few days ago, did suffer a defeat, but Cangsui only pretended to lose. After a few days, they took advantage of Dachu's complacency and launched a counterattack. This time, Dachu suffered a big loss .

The battle report arrived in the capital on the fifth day after the palace banquet, and the emperor was so angry that he almost fainted after reading it.

"Yao Kingdom has formed an alliance with Cangsui?" the emperor said bitterly.

"Yes, the only condition for them to form an alliance is to dedicate Princess Ning'an to the general of Yao Kingdom as his wife." Minister of the Ministry of War said.

Princess Ning'an was married to Cangsui seven years ago, but unexpectedly, Cangsui gave her to General Yao as his wife in exchange.This may be very common in the Cangsui and Yao countries where the folk customs are open. Whether it is a woman or a man, remarriage is common.But to Da Chu, it was nothing less than a great humiliation, like an old scar had been opened on the emperor's heart.

"It's unreasonable!" The emperor raised his hand and swept the things on the desk, and said angrily, "Come here, take Yao's proton out, chop him up in the street, and hang his body on the city gate!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Princess Ning An is now in Yao Kingdom, if Her Majesty kills the proton, the princess will definitely die."

The emperor took a deep breath when he heard the words, and there was a slight chill in his eyes.

He barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Yao Kingdom asked my daughter to serve their general, then I will let his son serve my son, and he is the lowest/lowest person who has no status." My male/favorite!"
