On the day when the deadline given by Emperor Yude came, the three His Royal Highnesses read out their memorials in the morning court.

Yude asked the questions in order from childhood to adulthood. The third prince Min and the second prince Wei followed the principle of no merit and no fault, and still maintained the original play, but refined and perfected each strategy.Emperor Yude gave way to the two sons' answers noncommittally, but his complexion was really not good-looking. It was not until he heard the prince's performance that his cold and serious face gradually warmed up.

The prince made a brief summary of the previous policies, and then focused on his three practical policies.

First, because of this rebellion, Yin Pei lost [-]% of the officials including the magistrate, and if the officials of the dynasty were unwilling to fill the vacancies, the official rank of some of the vacancies could be eliminated as appropriate, and Yin Pei locals could be hired to fill them.

The second is to list four of the most rare and rare beasts produced by Yin Pei as tributes, and the private possession and trading of Shengren is strictly prohibited. If officials and people are found to be smuggled back to the country, they will be banned or even convicted of treason.

The third is to recommend a certain virtuous and honest elder from the Western Province to be promoted to the prefect of Yinpei, supplemented by the garrison stationed in Yinpei, and to protect Yinpei's long-term stability...

"After my brother finished speaking, I couldn't see what the second brother thought, but the third brother's smile froze. Although the father didn't praise it explicitly, he asked all the officials to write a report on my brother's care. Well, it's obviously approved."

Chu Hong has been holding back his excitement ever since he came down to court, and after class ended at noon, he pulled An Sheng and the others back to his courtyard, and vividly described what he had seen from the court, especially imitating the way Chu Run reported. Seriously, as if wishing that he was the one who showed off in the court at that time.

"How did the courtiers react?"

An Sheng held back a smile and watched Chu Hong playing handsome there, and after carefully thinking about Prince Run's intentions, he gave his performance a high score in his heart.

Now Prince Run, under the premise of not hurting Emperor Yude's face at all, has promoted and won over Yin Pei's nobles, cut off the biggest source of courtiers' exploitation and oppression of Yin Pei, and dispatched capable officials and strong soldiers to "cure the symptoms". Not only did he please his father for Yude Yuanchang, but also benefited the people of Yinpei, showing the benevolence and talent of his prince.

After thinking about the Yang conspiracy, An Sheng thought about the depth of the conspiracy theory again, and felt that Chu Run's palliative method could make Yin Pei breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't if he wanted real peace. After ascending to the position of honor, he will resume the evaluation and promotion of Yin Pei and other officials in exile in the name of amnesty, so as to completely pacify Yin Pei and other areas. Add a strong stroke to the name!

"They, don't worry about what they think in their hearts, they naturally praise my brother on the face, but my brother has always been used to being gentle and modest, so he didn't take any credit for it, and then those ministers went to praise my father."

Chu Hong was dry after talking for a long time, when Pei Hao poured tea for him and brought it over, he immediately drank it dry with Pei Hao's hand.

"...Then His Highness the Crown Prince has approved the matter of going out of the palace during the Qingming Festival?"

Chu Runneng was able to distinguish between his father's majesty and his own limelight, and An Sheng added a few points to the prince in his heart. At this moment, he felt his leg being touched, and realized that a certain gentleman beside him had already Impatient with waiting, An Sheng hurriedly brought the topic back to the right track.

"Oh! I was just about to talk about this. Brother promised to find an opportunity to ask for an order for the two of us. What do we have to prepare in total?"

As soon as An Sheng reminded him, Chu Hong realized that he had forgotten the most important point and explained it to Chu Xian. Then Chu Hong remembered that Chu Run wanted to go to the Imperial Tomb to fast and bathe for three days on behalf of them, and regretted that he could not Seeing them walking together, Chu Hong couldn't help gloating a little in his heart.

"Fifth brother, we haven't talked about the mother's place yet, so we can't delay any longer."

Seeing that Chu Hong was so incomprehensible that he completely forgot about the empress, Chu Xian brushed his head coldly. Although the empress would not object as long as the father allowed it, how could they be so unruly as sons of men?

It's really going to become like that, and others are not sure how to make up jokes in private. The empress empress "can't teach her son".

"Mother..."

Chu Hong was really wilted by Chu Xian's basin of cold water, and he knew he couldn't avoid it, but when he thought of his mother's face scolding others, the rules and regulations were taboo... He was not afraid of anything. His Highness Fifth's calf cramped.

"..."

In fact, Chu Xian has a way of persuading the empress, but he is not the empress's own child after all. With such a half-way identity, it is best not to talk about the empress-related topics from him.So Chu Xian still looked at Chu Hong indifferently, and then touched An Sheng's leg under the table without any trace.

"Actually, there is no need to make things difficult for Your Highness... If Your Highness is not comfortable speaking on your own, you can ask Brother Hao to find Big Brother Pei and talk with you, as well as Your Highness the Crown Prince."

An Sheng and Chu Xian already had a good understanding on the matter of the Empress Empress. An Sheng could guess what Chu Xian wanted to say without even looking at Chu Xian's eyes on a question of this level.

"Seventh brother!"

Although Chu Hong has a hearty personality, he is not really that careless. Whenever the topic of his mother is involved, the seventh brother used to keep silent, but now he speaks through An Sheng's mouth. Tired for him.

"Fifth brother."

Chu Xian replied to Chu Hong in a calm tone, and it was only natural that those two words had no connotation.

"...Brother just came to practice riding and archery this afternoon, so let's ask him for help."

Choked by Chu Xian, he took a deep breath, Chu Hong curled his lips and then softened, but he couldn't help thinking, let alone Fifth Master, we are not lacking in understanding, but we really are. It's time to understand that Chu Xian is avoiding the taboo, but this kid is not even lazy to find another way to perfuse himself... Should he be happy for Xiao Qi's trust, happy or happy?

……

With the double assurance from the prince and Pei Wei, the queen let Chu Hong go after a few words of admonishment. The time soon came to the first ten days of March, and the time for them to leave the palace was getting closer and closer.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Because Chu Xian was called by the queen to have dinner in the afternoon, An Sheng stayed at his residence and did not come to Chu Xian. Unexpectedly, when it was dark, they sent someone to call him again. An Sheng had to clean up and rush away. After coming over, as soon as he entered the back room, he saw Chu Xian sitting on the couch, he seemed a little unhappy.

"Earlier, my mother told us about the candidates for the concubine to be noticed by the fifth brother. The fifth brother made a fuss and pushed all the Geng posts on the table. I just saw your cousin's name..."

Chu Xian once heard An Sheng talk about Zhao Zhao's life experience, so when he saw the birthplace and background and family background written on the Geng post today, he felt that she should be An Sheng's cousin, and when he thought that she was the only thing An Sheng valued One of her relatives, An Sheng, who had been left in the palace for selection, didn't even tell him, Chu Xian felt depressed for a while.

"I didn't intend to hide anything from you, but my cousin insisted on relying entirely on the palace. As the only legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, she didn't want to tarnish her grandfather's name through her autobiographical marriage. That's her. The dearest relative of Rumu."

Seeing the grievance in Chu Xian's cold eyes that couldn't be concealed, An Sheng's puppet boy felt distressed, and he didn't care about any rules or irregularities. Hands, holding the little cute leopard in his arms... Anyway, there is no one else in this room except them, right?

"……Um?"

Chu Xian watched An Sheng hug him, and the sudden intimacy surrounding him made him stiffen his back, but after the back of his hand was stroked by An Sheng's thumb, Chu Xian's body slowly relaxed , the air-conditioning has dissipated.

"And relying on Sister Zhao's family background, even if you can't point to the real wife, the person to marry will not be bad. On the contrary, if you enter the palace election and fail the election, it will shame the family and make it difficult to find a good match."

Feeling that Chu Xian was becoming more and more 'docile', An Sheng, who was holding the soft bun in his arms, was howling in his heart, but his face became more and more 'gloomy'.

"So, although we don't want sister Zhao to be wronged, we have no choice but to respect her choice. Moreover, we don't have the right to impose our wishes on her, so we decided to let nature take its course."

What An Sheng said was also true. The girl Zhao Zhao used to be petty with their brothers in private, but she was always unruly in front of others. This time the marriage was particularly firm, and she held their brothers for a long time. Threats, and resolutely forbid the two of them to 'mess up'.

"That being said, if you had told me earlier, I might not be able to help you."

Accepting An Sheng's explanation in his heart, Chu Xian's tone softened a bit, and then he glanced at his hands wrapped around his waist. A certain Highness sat up straight without a word, and the "staring" knife that is not used often anymore It hit An Sheng's face again.

"It's too late for you to hide from that person on weekdays, so how could I embarrass you with this matter?"

An Sheng naturally understood the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a good deal, following Chu Xian's movements, he also retracted a pair of claws, and silently put them behind his back to grind on the soft couch...

"Of course I can't pay attention to these in front of my mother, but isn't there another good candidate?"

An Sheng's words undoubtedly scratched a certain leopard's itch, so the Seventh Prince raised his chin slightly and hooked the corners of his mouth when he felt relieved, his cold eyes rarely showed a bit of cunning.

"...His Highness Fifth?"

An Sheng's claws behind his back continued to grind, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment. He admitted that Chu Hong was quite "righteous", but his jumping temper was really not reliable, after all, it was about the most important thing for women. Qing Yu, An Sheng didn't want to harm Zhao Zhao because of his impulsiveness.

"Although fifth brother usually likes to make troubles, he can still understand the critical moment. As long as we explain the serious relationship to him, he will do what he can."

Although Chu Xian has always been quite disrespectful to Chu Hong, he still trusts this elder brother who grew up with him in many ways.

"I can't make a decision about this right now. After all, we don't understand many interests. We can rest for three days during Qingming. I'll go back and talk to my family first. If it's feasible, we can get together to discuss it when we go outing."

Seeing that Chu Xian was serious about what he said, An Sheng couldn't help but feel confident in Chu Hong. Since it is possible to help his girl's happiness right now, An Sheng will not be stingy with doing his best...
