Chu Changli's complexion sank all of a sudden, but he quickly returned to his invincible smile: "Xueyi has reached the age of marriage, and you are a world-renowned talented woman, and Yun Hanzhi is a world-renowned talent." Young master, you are truly created in heaven."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea from the side: "I didn't think about Mr. Yun at all. It's just that the heirs of the first prince of Qi State are weak, Prince Jing already has a marriage contract, and Prince An is sick. There is only this famous Yun Hanzhi."

Chu Xueyi said: "Brother, Mr. Yun is still observing the period of filial piety, so it is not suitable for entertainment. Engagement is a big deal. If I get engaged to someone who has not yet completed the period of filial piety, wouldn't I be laughed at by the world?" Don't look at her tone Gentle and soft, but there is a hint of firmness inside, which Yun Shen couldn't help admiring.

Yun Shen took over the conversation: "According to Caomin's opinion, it seems that the emperor announced me to enter the palace not for the purpose of betrothal, right?"

He smiled faintly: "It's okay to say what's the matter with the emperor."

When Qi Beizhao was suddenly told by him, he felt guilty and a little angry.His original intention was indeed to use the matter of Princess Rongmeng's marriage to test another matter.

He wanted to see if Yun Shen really had no intention of taking the position of General Protector, and then he would take away the General Order Talisman in his hand step by step.

And Shen Yue had long coveted the position of General Protector for a long time, and had hinted at it several times in the previous court, which made him quite annoyed.Qi Beizhao is not ignorant of Shen Yue's ambition.

Although they are said to be grasshoppers on the same rope, they have two hearts.Qi Beizhao's first ascension to the throne needs the support of the family power;

And Shen Yue coveted the position of General Protector, and only Qi Beizhao could give him this high position.

Driven by interests...

"The engagement matter can be postponed for the time being, and it won't be too late to make plans after your filial piety expires." Qi Beizhao said, "I see it's getting late, you should go back first."

Yun Shen saluted, "Yun Shen will take his leave." After saying that, he walked away without even looking at him.

When he was about to go out, Chu Changli suddenly said, "Stop, I heard you have a younger brother?"

Yun Shen turned his head slightly: "Yes..."

Chu Changli said indifferently: "Then tomorrow night's farewell banquet, bring them together, you can't marry Princess Rongmeng, so your brother should be able to?"

Yun Shen asked calmly: "May I ask what the Emperor Chu thinks of Princess Rongmeng? An object that you can decide its fate at will?"

Chu Changli pursed his lips, and there was still an arrogant smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sister Huang, don't take it to heart, Brother Huang is just playing for fun."

Chu Xueyi lowered her eyebrows: "I dare not..."

Qi Beizhao looked at the two siblings sitting below with great interest, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "It's getting late, and I'm tired. You two have to leave tomorrow, so let's take a rest early." The eunuch beside him immediately supported him to stand up, without stopping, and walked out of the Hall of Xihe.

Chu Changli stood up and said with a smile, "Is the emperor really not wanting to be engaged to Yun Hanzhi? Or do you still miss the one in Luoyang?"

The always gentle and leisurely demeanor Chu Xueyi rarely showed a trace of pain on her face, but she quickly calmed down and said indifferently: "Brother Huang was joking. But Brother Huang really wants to promise Xueyi casually. Is Yun Shen's younger brother?"

Chu Changli smiled: "Younger sister should know my heart best, and I'm joking too."

He walked forward: "I'm just curious about his younger brother. I never heard his name when I was here."

When Yun Shen returned to Yun Mansion, Qian Qiu and Yun Xiu were sitting in the lobby anxiously waiting for Yun Shen's return.

When Qianqiu saw the dark blue figure appearing outside the door, his heart was finally let go, and he and Yunxiu hurried up to greet him.

He knelt for three hours, and his knees hurt so much that he had to suck in the cold to endure the pain and limped when he ran.

Yunxiu was the first to pounce on Yunshen: "Brother, are you alright?"

Qian Qiu followed closely behind, nervously said: "Yun Shen, are you okay?"

Yun Shen laughed: "It's nothing. You haven't eaten yet, so let's go in first."

At dinner time, even though Yunxiu and Qianqiu were looking at Yun Shen eagerly, Yun Shen still "couldn't talk about eating".After finally finishing dinner, Qianqiu and Yunxiu hurriedly urged Yun Shen to talk.

As Yun Shen walked towards the study, he told the two of them the whole story.

He spoke naturally and smoothly, but the expressions of the two were ups and downs.It was Yunxiu who couldn't help but be the first to speak: "That's all?"

Qian Qiu also said: "It feels a little ridiculous."

"Where is the absurdity?"

Qianqiu lowered his eyes and thought, and said: "They called you into the palace just for the sake of marriage? And the marriage marriage is completely impossible, they would never think of it? So I think they must have other things. But, I can't figure it out , I can’t figure out why Chu Changli wants to see me?”

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows: "He has never met you before, it should be out of curiosity."

Qianqiu thought about the character of Chu Changli in the rumors, and suddenly felt that thinking like this seemed to be very in line with Chu Changli's style.

"So what's their purpose behind it?" Yunxiu interjected.

Yun Shen said, "I don't know for now."

Yun Xiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Yun Shen's hand: "Brother, it's good of you to be here."

Yun Shen softened his heart, and said with a smile, "Brother will always be here, and Xiuxiu must also learn to grow."

Yunxiu's voice choked up slightly: "Okay..."

Yun Shen smiled softly: "Okay, go to rest, there are some things I have to talk to Qian Qiu."

Qianqiu glanced at Zhu Jiang, and handed the paper that she had been carrying in her bosom to Yun Shen.Yun Shen pursed his lips and smiled, took it over and looked through it.

Qian Qiu and Zhu Jiang looked at him nervously.The former is worried about whether he can pass the test, while the latter is worried about whether Yun Shen will get angry again.

The two held their breaths at the same time, staring at Yun Shen without blinking, for fear of missing any subtle changes in Yun Shen's expression.

Soon, Yun Shen finished flipping through it, folded it and put it aside, finally raised his eyes and shouted: "Zhu Jiang..."

Qianqiu felt a sense of loss.

Zhu Jiangying said: "What's the matter, young master? I don't know the words written by the young master!"

Yun Shen said: "Has Qianqiu finished drinking the medicine?"

Zhu Jiang nodded like a pounding garlic, and said: "After drinking, I watched the young master drink it with my own eyes, and there was not a single drop left."

Yun Shen nodded, and Zhu Jiang walked out the door after finishing speaking.Yun Shen turned around, looked at Qian Qiu who was immersed in self-thinking with a half-smile, stretched out his hand to pull him to sit closer, got up and went somewhere, and came back with a bottle of medicine in his hand.

He gently lifted up Qianqiu's lower garment, and sure enough, seeing that Qianqiu's knees were red and swollen, he looked sideways and said, "Didn't you wear knee pads?"

Qian Qiu's eyeballs rolled around guiltily, and said, "I forgot, I didn't put a cushion... Hiss—it hurts!"

Yun Shenyun calmly increased the strength in his hands, and Qianqiu grinned in pain: "Tomorrow we will see how you go to the palace."

Qianqiu took a deep breath: "Can I not go? Yun Shen, what do you mean by that Chu Changli? How do you feel that his coming to Qi is a joke of his own?"

Yun Shensu said: "No matter how bad Chu Changli's personality is, he is still the king of a country and cannot leave the capital for too long. Therefore, tomorrow night will be a farewell banquet. As for the purpose of Chu Changli's coming to Qi, I think it should be Use the guise of getting married to explore Qi Beizhao's truth."

"Qi Beizhao let him visit like this?" Qian Qiu wondered.

"What else? Stop him from coming to Qi State?" Yun Shen said with a smile, "But he has Shen Yue by his side, and he himself will not let Chu Changli succeed. After all, this is Qi State, not Chu State, Chu Changli No matter how great your ambition is, it cannot be revealed here."

Qian Qiu came to a sudden: "So Qi Beizhao conniving at Chu Changli to give the dead palace maids at will is actually a way to confuse Chu Changli!"

Yun Shen was noncommittal: "It's just interesting that Chu Changli will come to Qi State in person instead of sending close officials."

He said it was interesting, but there was indeed no interest on his face, just as indifferent as always, "Even if it is a marriage, as a monarch, it is not appropriate to leave the capital Luoyang and come to a neighboring country-a person who has just made peace with himself for more than ten years It is even necessary to let the world know that such a person is either extremely stupid, or he is extremely conceited."

"I think he should be the latter." Qianqiu hesitated, reached out to grab Yun Shen's hand, "Yun Shen, we are really worried about you, the palace is dangerous, even if you just entered temporarily, none of us would know Will something happen, not to mention Chu Changli is a person who doesn't take human life seriously..."

Yun Shen's eyes were deep, looking at Qian Qiu's soft hair, his heart moved, it seemed that there was some strange feeling coming from his heart, slowly extending to his limbs, making him want to hug the person in front of him into his arms .He sighed softly, and slowly hugged Qianqiu into his arms: "I know..."

Qian Qiu leaned against Yun Shen's arms and was slightly dazed, until his heartbeat reminded him something like thunder, and then he reacted, his heart couldn't help jumping for joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't restrain his joy from rising.

"One more thing." Yun Shen let go of Qian Qiu, his eyes were calm, "Tomorrow you need to go to the palace with me."

Qian Qiu bit her lower lip and looked away: "Okay..."

Yun Shen took all his small movements into his eyes, and his eyes were gentle: "Don't be afraid..."

Qian Qiu raised his eyes, touched Yun Shen's eyes, and said, "Okay..."

For the farewell banquet, he also asked Yun Shen and Qian Qiu to go together.Qianqiu knows what will happen tomorrow without even thinking about it, and they are completely passive—it is not their wish.Qianqiu stood in front of her door, reminiscing about Yun Shen's gentle embrace, feeling a little greedy.

At this moment, how much he hopes that such a day will continue like this.Or go back to Lin'an and live a carefree life there, that's fine.

Prince Jing's Mansion...

Qi Beisheng was about to put on his clothes and go to sleep when suddenly a follower knocked on the door outside and asked alertly: "What's the matter?"

The attendant said in a low voice outside: "My lord, Aunt He said that tomorrow's breakfast is lotus seeds, and I want to ask you if you will eat it tomorrow."

Qi Beisheng opened the door, quickly took a note from the attendant, and said: "How can I eat lotus seeds for breakfast, my king won't eat them."

"Yes……"

Qi Beisheng closed the door, and carefully unfolded the note in his hand. He knew the delicate characters on it were Yunxiu.

"After the court, come to Yun Mansion quickly."
