After the border war ended, Emperor Yude finally brought up the issue of marriage with Saint-Rolais. Just like what Chu Xian and the others thought, Emperor Yude was happy to see the internal strife of Saint-Rolais self-defeating national power, and he was very willing to use the marriage To share a piece of the pie, and his previous delay in responding to the envoy of Saint-Rolais was mainly because he wanted to wait for the opportunity to gain more benefits.

During the New Year's period, under the active operation of Sheng Guo's secret agents, Emperor Yude has basically grasped the situation of St. Luo Lai, and now, it is a good time for him to extend a 'helping hand' to his allies.

"The princess of Saint-Rolais is really a woman..."

Flipping through all the secret reports about Princess Regina collected recently, Emperor Yude gave a compliment with a smile on his face. At this time, he saw that the mother had brought in the Twelve Princesses who had just woken up, so he handed the information to She gave it to Empress Pei who was sitting opposite the couch table, and then hugged her only direct daughter to tease her.

"Since Your Majesty wants to help this person, then the marriage partner must be suitable. If you appear to be inferior to other girls in every way, our Dasheng Kingdom will lose all face."

Empress Pei took the information and rolled her eyes casually, then turned her gaze to her husband and daughter, with a gentle smile on her slightly thin face.

Since the birth of the Twelfth Princess the year before last, Empress Pei's mental and physical strength has been greatly reduced. Even if she has divided most of the affairs of the harem, she often feels tired and weak.The only consolation is that Emperor Yude treated her a lot closer, and loved the little princess very much... Although I know that this is probably the emperor's balancing act, as a woman, I can always get more love from her husband. It is good.

"Yes, Xiao Liu can't."

Yude's face darkened when he heard this, and he sat back on the couch with his daughter in his arms. Then he felt that his eyes were a little dry again, and he pinched his brows with a sullen face.

For the sixth son, Chu Kang, Emperor Yude really looked down on him, not to mention his mean face and ruthless personality, and his ability is also ordinary. Coupled with Ke Muke's hard life, Yude would never let him go out to give Embarrass yourself.

"Xiao Ba is really good. He is the princess's cousin, and he will get along well after marriage."

Empress Pei's eyes flickered when she heard the words, but the smile on her face did not change at all. She raised her hand to signal the nanny to take the twelve princesses, then she personally picked up the teacup on the table, and handed it to Yude with a smile .

"Xiaoba...has too much affection for Saint Rollei."

Hearing Empress Pei's words, Emperor Yude's heart moved, he took a sip of the tea cup she handed over, and then turned his face to look at the other party.

Yude chose to support Regina, not only because she is the orthodox royal family and can bring him supreme honor after becoming the emperor, but also because he wanted to put a stake in the upper echelon of St. Rollei to gain more information and information. The power is used by the Kingdom of Sheng, and it is impossible for Yude to entrust Chu Yue, who has half the blood of the royal family of St. Rollei, to do these things... Yude does not believe that Queen Pei's intelligence will not be able to see through this, so she will say These words must be pointed out.

"In this way, the unmarried prince of the right age will only be idle. This child has grown up by the side of his concubine, and his appearance and appearance are excellent. If he really wants to match him with such a wife, the concubine will take care of him. The child is wronged."

Slightly lowering her eyes to avoid staring at Yu De, Empress Pei's expression was gentle and submissive, as if what she said was really for the sake of the other party, without any selfishness.

"How could I let the direct prince of our Dasheng Kingdom be wronged? From this point of view, Xiao Qi is indeed the most suitable candidate...but the queen is really willing?"

Yude naturally also considered Chu Xian, but he didn't mention it because of Queen Pei's side. After all, when he recognized Chu Xian as his son, although he intended to compensate him and his concubine, the more important thing was to increase the weight for the queen. To suppress the influence of the relatives of the concubine Shuhui's faction.But now that Chu Wei's military exploits are outstanding, he is enough to stand between the crown prince and the third child, so removing Chu Xian from the queen's faction will not have any impact on the overall situation.

And on the other hand, putting Chu Xian next to Concubine Jing's mother and son who are close to him can not only strengthen Concubine Jing's neutrality, but also facilitate the deepening of the relationship between Chu Xian and Saint Rollei... At that time, Chu Xian will rely on his status Being able to travel freely between the two countries is of great benefit to the Kingdom of Sheng!

"The concubines are naturally willing to share His Majesty's worries and seek blessings for Dasheng, just try not to wrong us Xiao Qi."

Empress Pei said this calmly, but in the end she also made progress by retreating, only seeking for Chu Xian and not claiming any credit for herself.

"I know what's in my heart, don't worry, the queen."

Yude took a deep look at Empress Pei, and then a happy smile resumed on his face, and he took his daughter back from the mother's hand and started teasing...

In early February, various armies returned to the capital one after another, and Yang Xun was one of the heroes who came back earlier. Zhao Zhao had never told Yang Xun that he was pregnant, for fear that he would be distracted on the battlefield, so he became a general When he came back in military uniform and saw his beloved wife greeted him with a smile on her stomach, she was so surprised that she almost fell off the horse.

Regardless of whether other people saw or laughed, Yang Xun ran directly in front of Zhao Zhao and held her hand silly. It took a long time to recover and realize that there were other people. Then Yang Xun couldn't bear the excitement and gave An Xu and An Xu Sheng gave a big hug to each other, picked up his own son, threw and kissed him for a long time, which made everyone unable to hold back their smiles.

On the ninth day of February, the army led by the second prince arrived in Beijing smoothly. Since he was going on the expedition on behalf of the emperor, this time the prince led hundreds of officials to welcome him outside the city. The hospital had the responsibility to send someone to deal with emergencies, so An Sheng, his grandfather and grandson, who happened to be on duty in the palace, also sat at the last table.

An Sheng's position is far away from the main seat, but with his good eyesight, he can see the expressions of a few acquaintances there clearly, such as Chu Xian's frequent glances, and Chu Hong's occasional look at him. Bianshi blinked funny, Chu Yue raised his glass with a smile, and finally Yang Xunming waved his hand to sit down.

"..."

An Sheng responded to Chu Xian's greetings one by one. After seeing his brother-in-law's bold and unchanging actions among a group of honorable princes, An Sheng waved to him and pointed to his official uniform, and then stopped. Look at him, pretending that you are enjoying the song and dance.

Just kidding, sitting so close to those big shots will give you indigestion, he doesn't ask for it...

"Emperor An, Xiao An, come and warm your hands. It's too cold for this man to be near the gate of the palace...be careful not to spill hot water and burn your hands."

A young eunuch about seventeen or eighteen years old slipped shortly beside An Sheng, with a shy smile on his clean and handsome face, and then he put two warm cotton bags into their arms, where The bread was served in two small round jugs filled with hot water.

This little eunuch was transferred to An Sheng by Xiao Guozi after the Eighth Princess incident. He is smart and careful, and takes care of An Sheng's life in the palace on weekdays. your Highness.

"Thanks for your hard work."

An Sheng was sitting at the lower end in order to shield An Yi from the wind, and he felt chilly all over his body. As soon as the 'Mrs. …

"Brother Seven...it's not enough to watch every day!"

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere of the banquet, he came to Chu Xian's side. Chu Yue just wanted to talk to him about something serious, but when he saw Chu Xian looking down at An Sheng, Chu Yue bumped his shoulder angrily.

"..."

Chu Xian was just seeing An Sheng smiling at the eunuch, when he was suddenly interrupted by Chu Yue, his calm eyes stared at Chu Yue, and his unhappy eyes clearly said, "If it's not important, you'll lose it." '!

"Cough...the empress and the father have proposed it, and the father has clearly agreed, but it seems that there is no plan to explain it for the time being."

Chu Yue was stared innocently, but right now the matter was important, so he directly covered his lips with the movement of drinking, and briefly explained the matter in a low voice.

It is inconvenient for Chu Xian to go to the palace to pay his respects after the New Year’s Eve, and Chu Yue postponed his stay in the palace because of Saint Rollei’s incident. It is difficult for the two of them to meet in private at this juncture, and there are too many people in the morning court, so Chu Yue had to Take this opportunity to tell Chu Xian the good news so that he can have confidence.

"So as not to startle the snake and cause unnecessary trouble."

Chu Xian understood what Emperor Yude was thinking, and there was no surprise when he heard the words. Now that he had completed all the preparations on his side, he felt a little more at ease. Thinking of this, Chu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and poured the water into his bowl. He drank his tea like wine in one gulp.

Because it is inconvenient for Concubine Jing to mention this matter to Emperor Yude, so as not to be suspected of plotting for the mother country, Chu Xian and Concubine Jing made a joint plan with the queen, and the queen suggested to Yude and acted for Chu Xian. After winning a favorable situation, Chu Xian and Concubine Jing continued to remain neutral on the surface, but secretly supported the queen's direct line...

"Cousin should have already set off for Sheng Kingdom, I hope she can travel safely... By the way, the mother and daughter of the eighth princess really came to ask the concubine mother for help, but don't worry, the concubine mother said something soft and hard, and the other party will be obedient Give up, they can't do anything."

Thinking that Regina's journey here must be very dangerous, Chu Yue was a little worried about his cousin, but he didn't want to affect Chu Xian's mood, so he raised a smile and changed the subject.

"Well, don't worry."

Chu Xian listened silently, and at the end he patted Chu Yue's shoulder as a consolation, and subconsciously looked in the direction of An Sheng through the sideways movement, only to find that the person's seat was empty, and only Doctor An was alone. Sitting on the seat, Chu Xian couldn't help frowning slightly and looked around.

"Maybe she went to the bathroom?"

Chu Yue noticed the change in Chu Xian's expression, and followed his gaze, realizing that An Sheng was not there, but he didn't feel that there was anything to be nervous about.

"His medicine chest is gone, too."

Chu Xian remembered very clearly that An Sheng's medicine box was placed by his side, and he could just see half of Lu's body outside the case from this angle. I found it.

"It won't be anything..."

Chu Yue didn't have the confidence to say this. An Sheng is a foreign minister. In this deep palace forbidden area, it may be a serious crime to go in any direction.

"..."

Chu Yue didn't answer, until he found out that the eunuch he had arranged for An Sheng was not in the palace, His Highness the Seventh Prince was slightly relieved, and then he gestured to Xiao Guozi behind him with a cold face, as if nothing had happened He continued to watch Le Wu...Only Chu Yue beside him could feel how low the air pressure around this man was.

Chu Xian also hoped that he made a fuss out of a molehill, and hoped that it was just that someone in the palace happened to hurt An Sheng to deal with it, but An Sheng is where Chu Xian's backlash is, and His Royal Highness would not allow anyone to touch it in the slightest!
