After everyone paid respects to worship, they were seated one after another under the sign of Emperor Yude, and then unexpectedly, Emperor Yude actually reversed his previous perfunctory attitude towards the selection of relatives, and directly decreed that the seven sons of the emperor, Xian and Regina He bestowed a marriage, and set the date of the marriage for Chu Xian to be filial piety two years later, and then said that Chu Xiangui was the direct prince of Sheng Kingdom and could not marry other countries, so after marriage, he was only allowed to freely enter and leave the borders of the two countries, and he was still the emperor of Sheng Kingdom. Jue, settled in the imperial capital...

After Emperor Yude stunned everyone waiting for the imperial decree, Princess Regina immediately seconded a few words with a smile, and gave Chuxian the title and fiefdom of the Marquis of the Saint-Rolais Empire on the spot, and promised to formally marry Later, Chu Xian will be promoted to the Duke, and when Regina succeeds to the throne, Chu Xian will become the Prince.

As a result, Chu Xian, the Seventh Highness who had just been regarded as the "abandoned son" of the royal family by everyone, suddenly gained weight in everyone's hearts, even more than before, because once Regina made this move, Sheng Kingdom's You must not lose face, so it is foreseeable that Chu Xian will be the lowest prince in Sheng Kingdom in the future!

Looking at the generations of princes in Sheng Kingdom, how many of them are like Chu Xian who can settle for wealth and glory early on?Looking at how His Highness the Seventh Prince has earned the honor he is today from a concubine, is it just luck?I'm afraid it's a real means, right?

"..."

Chu Xian ignored everyone's suspicious gazes indifferently, just thanked him according to the etiquette, and then knelt upright and sat back in his seat, but the hands under his sleeves, which were placed on his knees, could not help but feel ruthless. Clenched tightly.

Although Chu Xian didn't have the opportunity to discuss privately with Regina, they had already reached a preliminary agreement through Concubine Jing in the middle. For example, the issue of his title in St. It’s just a large amount of taxes, the real rights and fiefdoms are completely in the hands of Regina, so there is no need to raise this matter in front of everyone, and Chu Xian does not believe that Regina will have nothing to do. Then this decision is likely to be ordered by Emperor Yude...

"Congratulations, Your Highness, I would like to offer you a toast."

Aware of the stiffness of Chu Xian's figure, An Sheng secretly glanced at the empress and the concubine and nephew who were already laughing at the main seat, then took Chu Xian's hand hidden under the sleeve, touched it soothingly, and stuffed the wine glass into his hands.

When Emperor Yude and Princess Regina sang together just now, An Sheng already had a premonition in his heart, and now seeing the resentment in Chu Xian's heart, he knew that his guess was right.

Emperor Yude himself didn't personally promise An Sheng any title of county king or prince, but he increased his weight on Chu Xian through Regina's mouth. In this way, Chu Xian's plan to jump out of the center of the chess game and be an idler was completely defeated. , Chu Xian is now the kind of potential stock that everyone knows must ensure appreciation. It is the bait that Emperor Yude secretly hangs on the heads of the princes. Those who want that seat are really hard to escape. A big temptation!

"Congratulations?"

Squeezing the wine glass that An Sheng gave him, Chu Xian slightly lowered his head and turned to An Sheng. At this time, the face of His Highness the Seventh Prince was still cold with no trace of happiness or anger, but his eyes were full of hatred.

Chu Xian really didn't understand, what did the man sitting on the dragon chair think of their sons?He won't let go of those who want to fight for power and profit with him, and he will make every effort to provoke those who have no ambitions. Is it necessary for father and son brothers to kill each other like this, fighting to the death?

"Yes, if one thing is perfect, isn't it worthy of congratulations?"

An Sheng, who was sitting side by side with Chu Xian, naturally noticed the annoyance in his eyes. Seeing this, he couldn't help softening his expression and persuading him with a smile. In An Sheng's opinion, Emperor Yude's last blow was actually not What an unexpected thing, after all, that person succeeded in seizing the throne as the second son, which in itself shows his strength, and then he has been immersed in the emperor's mind for more than [-] years, so the number of ranks is naturally extremely high. What's wrong with making the best use of the resources at hand?

An Sheng knew that the reason why Chu Xian felt hurt was because he would unconsciously put Emperor Yude in his father's position, and he would have expectations of this father... An Sheng felt that it was nothing to have such a trace of emotional fetters Not good, after all Emperor Yude did not really do anything to endanger Chu Xian's life, if Chu Xian really forgot his father and king, it would be another kind of sorrow.

"...Yes, congratulations indeed."

Chu Xian's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and the complicated thoughts in his eyes flickered for a while, and finally calmed down. Then, when Chu Xian raised his eyes to meet An Sheng's gentle and affectionate gaze, His Royal Highness felt warm again. The act of drinking masks the display of his emotions.

That's right, except for the failure of his hope of jumping out of the center of the chess game, all his plans have been successful. In the future, his situation will be many times better than before. What else is he not satisfied with?In fact, in retrospect, he was too full of thoughts earlier. If his plan was not a win-win situation where all three parties get what they need, how could his father and emperor be so easy to get along with each other?

"Although the wine tastes weak, it has enough stamina. Please drink it slowly, Your Highness. First drink some soup to warm your stomach."

An Sheng drank his own cup and thought about it for a while. Seeing that Chu Xian, who had always been tired of drinking, poured another cup boldly, Imperial Doctor Xiao An hurriedly pressed his hand to stop him, and then poured a bowl of hot soup for Chu Xian , and put some of his usual favorite dishes on the plate, and as soon as he took care of others, he could see how accustomed he was to cooking.

"Ah."

Chu Xian obediently asked An Sheng to take away the wine glass and replace it with a soup bowl, and then accepted An Sheng's care as a matter of course. Anyway, the actions at the table next to Chu Hong and Pei Hao were more intimate than theirs. I feel embarrassed.

"..."

Prince Run, who was kneeling in An Ran, picked up his wine glass and sipped lightly, his eyes glanced at the direction of Chu Xian and An Sheng seemingly casually, but he thought of An Xu in his heart.

This year, due to the delay of the war and the marriage, the tour time of the new recruits of the Imperial Academy has been postponed to mid-April, and after returning at the end of the year, they will have to take another exam to decide whether to stay or not. Chu Run treats Pei Wei and An Xu It is sincere closeness and liking, coupled with the maintenance of An Xu, a good prime minister and assistant, I hoped that he could continue to stay in the Imperial Academy and enter the cabinet through regular channels. With Xu's clean background, his official career will be clear and magnanimous, but An Xu hopes to enter the Zhan Shifu under the prince's management first. An Xu's loyalty made him even more reluctant to delay his future.

But what happened today forced Chu Run to make up his mind to keep An Xu by his side...

Putting down his thoughts, Prince Run suddenly noticed the gaze from the opposite side. He raised his eyelids reflexively and met the other side's gaze that was too late to move away, but saw Chu Wei calmly stabilized his gaze, and then naturally He raised his glass to respect himself, Chu Run pursed his lips, then raised his hand warmly to return the salute with a smile, and then staggered his eyes by drinking like the other party.

And the third prince Min, who was sitting in the first place under the crown prince, was upset because of Emperor Yude's sudden will. Now, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Chu Wei, who was opposite him, toasting Chu Run. His handsome face couldn't help turning cold. Xiang Chuwei's eyes also flickered gloomyly, but immediately he controlled his emotions very well, and restored his usual image of a well-mannered and elegant nobleman.

……

In the few days after the palace banquet, Princess Regina was accompanied by Chu Yue and walked around half of the imperial capital, but Chu Xian, the fiancé-to-be, because of avoiding suspicion, the two parties only met and said hello, but he and Lei The details of the agreement between Jiana have been easily negotiated through Chu Yue, the middleman, and the result is very satisfactory to both parties, but in the end there is no written agreement, but Jing Guifei as the witness. vowed.

In fact, the private agreement between the two of them is open, and there are not many complicated things. The major issues between the two countries are the problems of Emperor Yude and Regina. There are three aspects: one is to maintain each other's face, and they don't know about accepting concubines. Chu Xian intends to "marry" secretly, and Regina's custom is that the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside. So it was easy for the two parties to reach a consensus on this point.

The second is that Chu Xian goes to live in St. Rollei for a period of time every year to reflect the harmony of their marriage relationship. This is regarded as a vacation by Chu Xian and An Sheng, and they are naturally willing to abide by it.

The third is the most important aspect of heirs. If Chu Xian has a child, no matter how many Reginas will recognize him as an adopted son, he can inherit the prince of the Sheng Kingdom, but the St. Rollei Empire is not allowed to inherit it. Chu Xian knows Even if he doesn't have a biological child, he will adopt the royal blood to inherit the title in the future, so there is no problem at all. If Regina has children, Chu Xian only needs to recognize the orthodox status of one of them so that he can become the first in line to the throne. One is the heir, and the rest will be arranged by Regina herself. Similarly, Regina's children will not inherit the title of Sheng Kingdom...

Chu Xian and the others finally settled the matter of getting married, and their mood naturally improved. Coupled with Regina's Chu Yue-like face and manly personality, a relationship between the young people was quickly established. friendship.

Because the spring came early this year, Emperor Yude wanted to show the skills of the sons and daughters of Shengguo in front of the people of Saint Laurent before Regina returned to the country, so the spring hunting was usually held in April, but this time it was brought forward It was the end of March, and the time was extended to seven days.

Chu Xian, who avoided the Spring and Autumn hunting last year because of his filial piety, was appointed by the Holy Majesty to accompany him this time. Of course, An Sheng would not stop Chu Xian from traveling, and masters like Pei Wei and Yang Xun were also appointed by the Holy Majesty Among them, as for An Xu, Yu Pan, and Pei Hao, they were invited by the crown prince, third prince, and fifth prince respectively... Finally, An Sheng looked at it this way, okay, it's time for a group spring outing, a big group of them This gathering is really complete.
