On this day, the summer solstice is not far away. And so, the weather started to get hot. However, King Xuan's mansion is particularly cool and pleasant.

Ever since Chu Yue came back from injury, he rarely went to the morning court. When his imperial brother Chu Nian learned of his situation, he authorized him not to go to court, but he had to send a trusted attendant to fill up the number so that he could convey the holy will to him. As soon as Chu Yue heard this arrangement, he felt that it was very good, so he agreed. So, from this day on, Chu Moran, the leader of his guards, went to the early dynasty for him with honor.

Chu Yue lived every day reading books, playing chess, handling official business, and receiving treatment, although he felt that he would never have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, but this kind of life was also very good.

However, something unexpected happened to him. Half a month later, the early dynasty. The eunuch just shouted: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court", there was still no minister to play, Chu Nian said solemnly: "If all the ministers are fine, I have one thing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you send the portraits of all the ministers' school-age girls to me, and I want to choose a concubine for Prince Xuan." Prince Xuan is already 25 years old this year, but there is no concubine in the mansion, not even a concubine, which is really worrying, "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites only said, 'Yes, Your Majesty!'" And he was included in the ranks. However, these words were a good thing to listen to other people's ears, but they were like a thunderbolt in the sky in Chu Moran's ears. He was in a hurry, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. What Chu Moran thought in his heart was: God, I just got the news here instead of Prince Xuan, don't embarrass me. If only Prince Xuan was here, he would definitely shirk it. Ay!

Just when Chu Moran was stunned, His Majesty Chu Nian, our emperor, had already shouted to retreat. Chu Moran saw that the ministers had started to leave, and he realized that he had already retreated. So, Chu Moran also followed them out of the hall in a daze.

When Chu Moran returned to the palace, his face was still very bad, and he looked sad. He straightened his clothes and walked briskly towards the study.

In the study, there was silence, only Chu Nian's shallow breathing and the sound of him turning the pages could be heard, Chu Moran had just approached the study, and when he was about to knock on the door, he heard a magnetic voice coming: "Indifference, is it you?" Come on in! ”

After Chu Moran heard his prince say this, he immediately pushed the door and came in. Chu Yue saw him come in, put down the official document in his hand, looked up at him, and said seriously: "Indifferent, what is the will of the imperial brother today?" Chu said indifferently and solemnly: "Lord Qiqi, Your Majesty has decided to ask the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to send him the portraits of all the young ladies of the official eunuch house of the right age, and he will choose a concubine for you." Lord, what do you think this should be? ”

"Huh! The lost royal brother thinks of it, but I want to see what kind of one the imperial brother can choose for me! Chu Yue said with a playful smile.

"Lord Wang, aren't you in a hurry?" Chu indifferently looked at his prince curiously and said.

"Indifferent, you joked, what do I have to worry about? Besides, look at the way I look now, what other girl would want to marry me? Chu Yueyun looked at Chu indifferently and said.

"Alright! Lord, having said that, there will still be some girls in this world who don't care about your image, you can't be discouraged! Chu said indifferently and seriously.

"Alright! Indifferent, don't comfort me. I already know about this, so step aside! Chu said indifferently and seriously.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Chu said indifferently and solemnly. Then he left the study. After Chu Yue saw Chu leaving indifferently, he was not in the mood to read the official document anymore, so he began to be in a daze. What he thought to himself was: Oh! Brother Huang, now I have so many rumors, whichever young lady you choose, which young lady will not be happy!

Two days later, the Rite Ministry sent portraits of the daughters of the minister's family to the emperor. Emperor Chu Nian felt that there was nothing to do on this day, so he took the portrait to Cining Palace. When the eunuch made a loud announcement, the emperor entered the Cining Palace. After the Queen Mother saw her son enter the palace, she said gently: "Nian'er, sit down!" ”

After the queen mother waited for the emperor to sit down, she still said gently: "Nian'er, why do you have time to come to the queen mother here today?" Usually the queen mother invites you to come over, but you are all kinds of shirks! Chu Nian smiled and said, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about?" Nian'er was really busy a while ago, don't you think I'm going to see the queen mother when I'm free? ”

"Hehehe! Say, what is the matter with Nian'er coming to the queen mother today! The Queen Mother still smiled gently. However, Chu Nian could still see the meaning of his mother's smile.

"Okay, okay! Can't the retainer surrender? Nian'er came here today, and she really wanted to discuss something with the queen mother. Queen Mother, you also know, Yue'er is injured, I'm afraid that the injury will accompany him for a lifetime, I want to marry him, but I don't know what kind of woman is the most suitable for him. Therefore, the son brought the portrait of the daughter of the minister's family today and asked the queen mother to choose one. ”

"Nian'er, this matter is not a big deal!" The Queen Mother said with a gentle smile. Then, the Queen Mother began to look at the portraits of those girls. Two hours later, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Nian'er, what do you think of Yunhua, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun's family?" I heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not only that, but she is also gentle and virtuous, and proficient in female popularity. ”

"Good! In that case, choose her. Tomorrow the son will give them a marriage. The Queen Mother said gently: "Okay, Nian'er, it's getting late today, so you can eat in this Cining Palace!" Chu Nian only said yes, and the palace maid went down to prepare.

On the morning of the second day, after Emperor Chu Nian went to court, the eunuch only said, 'If there is something to start and retreat from the court', Chu Nian began to say: "Gonggong Lin, read the holy decree!" Gonggong Lin replied yes, and began to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, today I heard that the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun is dignified and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and this daughter is specially given to Prince Xuan as the concubine, and the marriage is completed on the eighteenth of this month, and it must not be disobeyed." Chin this! When Prime Minister Yun heard the content of the holy decree, he sighed helplessly, but he could only accept the decree: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" "Chu Nian only said, 'Retreat!' I was the first to go back to the palace.

When Chu Mo returned to the palace, he lost his study again. This time, before Chu Yue could speak, Chu Mo said anxiously: "Lord Qiqi, Your Majesty decreed that the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yun's family will be married to you this morning, and she will be married on the eighteenth of this month." ”

"Oh, I see! It seems that the imperial brother has chosen a gentle and virtuous woman for me, which is quite good,"

"Lord Wang, do you really want to marry Miss Yun as a concubine?" Chu said indifferently and solemnly.

"What? Isn't that possible? Or do you like Miss Yun? Chu Yue said with a deliberate smile.

"Lord Wang, you are deliberately joking with me. The subordinates don't know Miss Yun, and it is impossible for them to have any selfish experience with Miss Yun. Chu Ingran said immediately.

"In that case, why doesn't this king marry?" Chu Yue said seriously.

"Okay, lord, my subordinates will arrange it." Chu said indifferently and seriously.

"Okay, then you go get busy!" Chu Yue said seriously. Then, Chu Moran left the study and went to prepare the things for the wedding.

The next morning, Chu Yue waited until Chu Moran came back from the court, and then said softly: "Indifference, will you go with me to Prime Minister Yun's house to have a look?" Chu said indifferently and seriously: "Yes, Lord Wang!" When the prince finished breakfast, I went to prepare the carriage. ”

"Okay, I got it! Indifferent, let's pass the meal first! Chu Yue said seriously, and then, Chu Moran asked the maids to serve Chu Yue recently.

When Chu Yue had dinner, Chu Mo drove to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, breakfast had also been run out in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Prime Minister Yun was in the study. After Chu Mo got out of the car, he said to the servant in the porter: "As soon as the little brother reported to the prime minister, he said that Prince Xuan was a guest." The servant had only said a word, and then ran to the study to report it.

Prime Minister Yun immediately ran to the front hall and said respectfully: "Lord Xuan, the old minister took over to eat, and asked the prince to atone for his sins." Chu Yue smiled mildly and said, "Prime Minister Yun, no courtesy, this king is just idle today, and he just wants to come to your mansion to sit." Prime Minister Yun said seriously: "Lord Xuan, let's go into the house and sit down to talk." ”

"Good!" Chu Yue said softly, and then, they all entered the front hall. After Yun Qing saw it, she immediately brought tea. Prime Minister Yun only said one word of invitation, and after Chu Yue took a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Good tea!" Prime Minister, you are a dragon well before the rain! ”

"Lord Xuan, I don't know if the prince is here today, what's the matter?" Prime Minister Yun also took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Prime Minister Yun, since you have said so, then the king will also open the skylight and say bright words. This king has come today just to see your two daughters. Chu Yue said unhurriedly.

"In that case, then please come with me!" Prime Minister Yun said with a smile, and then, Chu Moran helped Chu Yue to follow Prime Minister Yun to the backyard.

When Prime Minister Yun walked to the door of the backyard, he stopped, and Chu Moran immediately helped Chu Yue to stop. Prime Minister Yun smiled and said, "Lord Xuan, have you seen it?" The girl who was reading was the eldest daughter of the old man. The old man's young daughter went out to collect medicine and was not in the house, so please forgive Lord Xuan. ”

"It's okay!" Chu Yue said gently. Chu Yue stood there and looked at it for a while, then said, "Prime Minister Yun, this king is bothered. The king felt unwell and wanted to go home first. Prime Minister Yun smiled and said: "The prince said that he laughed, and the old minister sent the king off." ”

"Prime Minister, don't bother." Chu Yue said with a smile. Then, Chu Moran helped Chu Yue into the carriage and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just as Chu Moran was driving on the way back to the palace, Chu Yue suddenly said: "Indifference, we won't go back to the palace, I want to enter the palace to meet the imperial brother." Chu Yue still said solemnly: "Yes, Lord Wang!" Afterwards, Chu Moran drove into the palace. When he was about to arrive at the imperial study, Chu Moran helped Chu Yue into the inner room. After Chu Nian heard Gonggong Lin's report, he immediately put down the red pen in his hand and came to the door of the imperial study to greet him. After Chu Yue came in, Chu Mo didn't wait for Chu Yue's command, and retreated very coloredly. After Chu Nian helped Chu Yue sit down, he closed the door of the imperial study.

"Second brother, tell me, what's the matter with coming to find my brother this time? Are you bothered to go to the trouble of coming to the palace in person? Second brother, if you have anything in the future, you can ask Chu Moran to report it, and I will go to Xuanwangfu in person. Chu Nian looked at his younger brother with gentle eyes and said. At this time, the secret guards hidden in the main hall saw the emperor's expression, and their jaws were about to fall in surprise.

After Chu Yue heard his imperial brother's words, a smile bloomed on his cold face. Chu Yue said seriously: "Brother Huang, it's not a big deal!" When the younger brother came to see the imperial brother this time, there were only two things to discuss with the imperial brother. ”

"Oh? I don't know what two things the imperial brother said? If the royal brother can do it, the imperial brother will definitely help you. Chu Nian looked into his eyes with a smile and said.
