"Ahem, second brother, I have been paying attention to the war in the Ministry of War, but it always seems empty on paper. Can you tell the younger brothers about your personal experience? Second brother is the coach."

Chu Hong glared sadly at the disloyal brothers, then cleared his throat and took on the responsibility of enlivening the atmosphere. However, what he asked Chu Wei was indeed what they were interested in. Chu Wei won this battle. It is quite beautiful.

"All right……"

Knowing that Chu Hong was provoking the topic, Chu Wei did not refute his face, and seriously talked about the war. His voice was low and steady, and he patiently answered the questions of several people without any perfunctory. Gradually, everyone present People's expressions are becoming more and more natural, especially Chu Yue, who is very interested in the art of war, has dared to express his views in front of Chu Wei.

"The eighth brother is very good at riding and archery, and he is also familiar with the law of war and military law. Have you ever thought about doing martial arts?"

It was the first time that Chu Wei paid attention to this mixed-race younger brother in these years. His observing eyes swept across his upright and handsome face, his strong and straight figure. Words, will they be regarded as intentional solicitation?

"Can I? Hmm...my father should have already arranged my brother's whereabouts."

Chu Yue didn't think about it at all. He was overjoyed at first when he heard the words, but soon after he calmed down, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, and his expression also calmed down. The marriage was delayed, probably because Emperor Yude didn't want the people of St. Luolai to see him being idled. Chu Yue had given up hope for his errand, anyway, it would definitely not be a government office with real power.

"...Not necessarily. Father will always ask you about your intentions. Does the eighth brother really want to be a martial artist?"

Chu Xian, who had been listening too much and talking little, suddenly opened his mouth, and his eyes touched An Sheng, who was also thoughtful beside him, and understood that the other party had thought of something with him. After all, this marriage is for the benefit of all parties. It would be very appropriate if some benefits could be exchanged for Chu Yue's desired job.

Speaking of which, the two of them had nothing different about Chu Wei's proposal, and they didn't suspect the other party's intentions, because in their view, Chu Wei was a truly proud and resolute person, and he would not bother to play tricks with them. It's such a shallow way to win over.

"Is this... really okay?"

Chu Yue pointed to his appearance, which was obviously different from that of ordinary people. Although his expression was still lacking in confidence, his dark blue eyes unconsciously revealed the light of expectation.

If it was possible, Chu Yue didn't want to be stuck in the imperial capital just like this, wasting his life with nothing to do!

"If the eighth brother is a military officer, as long as the avoidance of suspicion does not involve the provinces intersecting with Saint-Rolais, there should be no problem."

A thoughtful look appeared in Chu Hong's eyes, and the hand placed under the table unconsciously stroked Pei Hao's lap. This was a habit he developed when thinking about some important decisions...

"Well……"

Still hesitating, Chu Yue looked at Chu Xian and An Sheng. Under the hint of "no problem" in the eyes of these two military advisers, he finally fixed his questioning gaze on Chu Wei's face. The 'popular man' in front of him, he always understands better than them.

"Indeed, in the case of the eighth younger brother, it is much more beneficial to be a military officer than to be an official in the court."

Seeing the tacit interaction between several people, Chu Wei calmly gave Chu Yue an affirmative answer, but he had some complicated thoughts in his heart. On the one hand, he felt that they, as the blood of the Tian family, could do this Intimacy is hard to come by. On the one hand, I feel that among the three brothers, one is the second son in status second only to the crown prince, the other is a calm and wise man who governs the country, and the other is a promising general of Anbang. , if they are allowed to grow up like this, it is hard to guarantee that they will not...

Taking a deep look at the seemingly cheerful and unruly Fifth Prince Hong, Chu Wei has already decided in his heart that he should pay more attention to this younger brother.

The conversation among the people in the pavilion was still going on, and the atmosphere on the surface seemed to be getting more and more harmonious, but in fact, only they themselves knew what each person's true thoughts were.

Finally, after another half an hour, the mission of Princess Saint-Ralais slowly appeared in everyone's sight. Unlike the extravagant sedan chairs used by princes and grandchildren, Saint-Rolais and his party were all in armor. The appearance of the cavalry, the few carriages, the style is also very similar to the St. Rollei chariot, and there are more cargo carriages on the back...

"Uh... the general at the front, couldn't it be the eldest princess? She looks quite similar to His Highness the Eighth Prince."

As the princes walked out of the welcoming pavilion, Pei Hao took the lead in muttering the hearts of everyone in response to the speechless silence of his companions.

And when everyone looked at Chu Yue reflexively because of his words, the poor Eighth Highness was already embarrassed, because the tall general in light armor sitting on the horse had [-]% similar appearance to Chu Yue, but The face shape and facial features are more neutral, and the obvious difference is that the hair color is brilliant golden, and the eyes are even bluer like the clear sky... But no matter how you look at it, that person is more like a prince than a princess!

Although they were surprised by Princess Regina's appearance and attire, the princes greeted her with full courtesy, while An Sheng and Pei Hao stayed where they were and watched decisively.On the other side, Princess Regina also stopped the team at an appropriate distance, then jumped off her horse and walked towards the princes, and responded handsomely with the royal etiquette of Saint Rollei, but to the embarrassment of the princes, she did It's a men's gift...

"What a surprise, my dear cousin Yueyue, who looks so much like my sister...I miss you so much!"

After a few words of politeness with the three unfamiliar princes, Her Royal Highness, who was wearing flat-heeled military boots, walked up to Chu Yue, who was still a little stunned. Looking at her cousin who resembled her, she felt a sense of intimacy from her blood, so she opened her arms and gave Chu Yue a big hug.

Speaking of which, it is really a miracle of blood that the two cousins ​​look like twins. Concubine Jing and Emperor St. Rollei have seventy percent similarities in appearance, and Chu Yue's appearance is similar to his. The mother respects the noble concubine, and because of the mixed race, the facial features are much softer than those of ordinary Saint-Rolais. Princess Regina is very similar to his father, and because of her gender, the edges and corners are also softened. This is why today's dramatic meeting ah.

"Cousin...you are welcome."

Chu Yue came back to his senses after being hugged tightly, and then subconsciously hugged Regina's waist. Only then did he realize how slender the part that the armor couldn't cover was so slender, Chu Yue suddenly thought of , no matter how masculine Regina's appearance and words and deeds are, she is still just a 17-year-old girl after all, she is my older sister...

After the successful meeting, the protagonists did not stay here for long. Regina handed over the mission to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to arrange, while she herself only brought two bodyguards to accompany the princes, and out of respect for the customs and rules of the Kingdom of Sheng Out of respect, she also gave up riding a horse, and boarded the gorgeous sedan chair sent by Sheng Kingdom instead.

In fact, apart from being used to wearing men's clothes on horseback, Regina is only for the convenience of movement, and has no intention of challenging the social situation of Sheng Kingdom, where men are superior to women. The real gender, just like it is difficult for her to distinguish the difference in Shengren's appearance.Therefore, the common people who watched the excitement all the way thought that the princess was in the carriage, and only regarded her as an ordinary general.

The sedan chair that Regina was on was carried all the way into the palace where the concubine was honored, and the palace banquet prepared for her was arranged in the evening. It was a private banquet, and all the young talents from the royal relatives and nobles were invited, but there were not many real courtiers and officials, so the four princes separated temporarily after they successfully handed over their missions, and went back to prepare for the dinner. As for what Emperor Yude and Regina had talked about during this period, others had no way of knowing.

……

This time, An Sheng didn't avoid the palace banquet like before, or hide in some inconspicuous corner according to his status, but sat with Chu Xian openly and aboveboard as Chu Xian's companion friend.

Speaking of which, this was the precedent set by the third prince Min and Yu Pan, and then Pei Hao often sat beside Chu Hong to participate in such private banquets, and at this moment those two were sitting next to them...so the same No one can comment on An Sheng's move, which is a nobleman, but it is inevitable to attract some envious and jealous eyes.

"Lift……"

After An Sheng really sat beside Chu Xian, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who understood the meaning of his move, was moved, and he looked at An Sheng so earnestly that he almost couldn't hide it.

"Your Highness, you can only show me your enthusiasm."

Getting closer to Chu Xian by whispering, An Sheng licked the earlobe of His Royal Highness Seventh Highness ambiguously at an angle that was invisible to everyone, but when he sat back to his body, he caught Chu Xian's eyes, but he made fun of him like this, Chu Xian has also returned to his usual cold and arrogant posture.

Not long after, Emperor Yude arrived with Empress Pei, and on the other side of him was not the concubine Shuhui who usually existed like a vice queen, but the concubine Jinggui who was dressed in the royal family of Saint Rollei. , while Princess Regina, whose appearance and concubine Jing resembled her own mother and daughter, supported Concubine Jing's arm elegantly and obediently.

If Regina in men's clothing is an elegant and handsome elf prince, then she in women's clothing is as beautiful and dazzling as an angel in a mural. Coupled with the full of exotic styles, the shocking effect is better than that of the concubine Jinggui when she first married. When she was in Shengguo, even Emperor Yude, who had read all the beauties, was amazed at her... If it hadn't been for getting older and losing the vigor of the past, maybe Emperor Yude had violated the agreement and designed to send this girl to her. The princess came into the harem, and then supported Saint-Rolais to rebel against the royal family.

Of course, Emperor Yude wants to do this now, but he is actually powerless. Not to mention that Concubine Jing is unable to pass this test, even Empress Pei and Concubine Shuhui will not allow it, and their opposition means that Against the opposition of half of the power in the court, no matter how you look at it, Emperor Yude could not go his own way.

Princess Regina's high-profile appearance immediately attracted the hearts of many royal family and aristocratic children, but among the few princes present, only the sixth prince Kang looked straight at him, and the rest of the brothers really stared at her. Different, for example, Prince Run's calmness, Second Prince Wei's politeness and indifference, Third Prince Min's critical judgment...

As for the three Chu Hong brothers behind, naturally they would not be affected by Regina.
