"Aiqing is tired of traveling and driving, and I guess I'm tired, so I won't leave you behind, let's go back to the house and rest first." Emperor Chu glanced at his solemn expression and knew the doubts in his heart at this time, but now was not the time to answer.

"Yes, Your Majesty," although he was unwilling, Su Che still responded and withdrew.

"Yejiu, come out," Emperor Chu shouted into the empty imperial study.

An ethereal figure came down from the beam and knelt in front of him: "Your Majesty"

"What do you think of Princess Yan Yang of the Qi Kingdom?" Emperor Chu asked casually while helping Ye Jiu up.

"The princess is knowledgeable, gentle and ......virtuous," Ye Jiu pursed her lips and thought for a long time before she said. You must know that he doesn't like women the most, if it weren't for the imperial decree to let him escort the princess, he wouldn't stay by the woman's side, let alone observe the woman, as long as she doesn't do anything that endangers the interests of the Chu State, he will turn a blind eye to the rest.

Think about the experience of escorting the princess in the past few days, the princess didn't cause him any trouble, even if he had to get out of the car and walk in an accident, the princess also came down, not a little pampered, eating the same food as everyone, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous...... Probably so......

"Is that all?" Emperor Chu frowned, looking at Ye Jiu as if he had said something like you, and there seemed to be some expressions that he didn't say.

Ye Jiu suddenly remembered the face that looked like his young lady, and finally couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, is she my young lady?" ”

Emperor Chu didn't answer, Ye Jiu lowered his head and secretly thought that Miss had been kidnapped by the Demon Sect three years ago and fell off the cliff, Princess Yan Yang had been staying in Qi Country since she was a child, how could she be the young lady of his family, and besides, the surveillance in the past few days found that Princess Yan Yang and Miss had many differences...... But that face ......

"She's not your young lady," Emperor Chu paused, and after looking at his entangled look for a long time, he still made a little concession.

Ye Jiu was stunned, since he was not a young lady, what did the emperor do to marry this princess who looked like a young lady? Could it be the same as what Su Che said that the emperor used Princess Yan Yang as a stand-in? He made up a scene in his mind where Emperor Chu was infatuated with his young lady and couldn't do it, looking at the king in front of him with a little sympathy, he couldn't imagine that the emperor was so infatuated......

Emperor Chu looked at Ye Jiu's sympathetic gaze, a little dazed.

The next day, the palace held a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust for Princess Yanyang. The first to arrive in the imperial garden were some court ministers, and Yejiu followed the emperor and went to the post station to pick up Princess Yanyang.

"Princess, it's time to go," the maid said to Yan Yang in the room.

"Well," Yan Yang waved her hand, and the other maids dressed up for her withdrew from the house, Yan Yang looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, held her hands tightly and slowly relaxed......

What should come, still comes.

Yan Yang walked out of the house, several maids behind her dragged her long skirt, she stepped into the carriage, and Su Che escorted her to the palace of Chu State in the back.

Yan Yang saw the long palace road outside through the gauze curtain inside, and there was only them in the middle, only the sound of horses' hooves passing by, every step was imprinted in her heart, she looked at this long palace road, I am afraid that this road can only go forward in this life.

I don't know how long it took, Yan Yang's carriage stopped, and Su Che stepped forward and faced the carriageway: "The princess has arrived." ”

Yan Yang stepped out of the carriage and looked at the imperial garden in front of him, where people and officials were sitting in their positions chatting with each other. Yan Yang didn't know where he should sit, and when the hundred officials saw the oncoming Yan Yang and saw her service, they guessed that this person was the princess of Qi Kingdom, and they stopped talking.

Yan Yang hates being paid attention to as a focal point, and he feels a little bad about himself. But this is Chu State, she can only hide her emotions under her eyes.

Su Che led her to the left of the most honorable position in the north, she sat down, and the women who were close to Yan Yang did not dare to come forward to talk to Yan Yang, so they could only whisper to their friends.

Yan Yang sat there alone, looking ahead without squinting, maintaining her dignity as a princess.

"The emperor has arrived" A sharp voice sounded, and hundreds of officials worshipped the comer, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

Yan Yang couldn't sit there either, so he got up and performed a ritual of seeing the king of the Qi Kingdom, "Meet the Emperor of Chu." ”

"Aiqing is flat," Emperor Chu walked past and everyone sat in the most honorable position, looking at the prostrate hundred officials and said majestically.

"Emperor Xie," the ministers sat in their seats, silent.

Yan Yang didn't know if she should get up at the moment, but after years of royal education, she couldn't raise her head at this moment.

"Princess Yanyang," Emperor Chu began to notice the woman on the ground, and smiled, "Hurry up, please." ”

"Xie Chu Huang," Yan Yang sat down in her place and restrained his hand at the position of Chu Huang to express his gratitude. His eyes didn't look at Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu was not annoyed, and began to let the people below start the performance.

Yan Yang sat there and watched the performance intently, feeling a few inquiring eyes from the other side, she glanced over, and the few people on the opposite side saw Yan Yang who seemed to notice her eyes, as long as they smiled awkwardly, they restrained their gaze.

Emperor Chu was above, and he was clear at a glance of the small movements below, and glanced at the few people who had just looked at Yan Yang with warning, his eyes were full of displeasure.

"Princess, what do you think of their performance?" Emperor Chu watched the officials enjoy the performance of the palace ladies with relish, glanced at Yan Yang and asked pretending to be unintentional.

"It's very good, it's a good dance," Yan Yang said as he looked at Gong E, who was dancing.

"Shall I give them all to you?" Chu Huang smiled.

At this time, Yan Yang had to look at Emperor Chu seriously, "Emperor Chu, such a beautiful palace, being here in this palace is just to let them dance to relieve boredom in this palace, it is better to let them be in the palace and be His Majesty's interpretation flowers." ”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yan Yang to say this. Although these words are ostensibly reluctantly resigning Gong E, in fact, she doesn't want to raise waste people, and at a deeper level, she persuades him to keep these Gong E's in the harem.

Is he such a greedy woman in Yan Yang's heart? Emperor Chu was a little suspicious, why did Princess Yan Yang's image of him be so bad?

Now was not the opportunity to explore the question, and he could only say, "The princess is laughing." ”

Yan Yang also replied: "Your Majesty laughed." ”

The banquet was already halfway through unconsciously, Yan Yang looked at the lack of people performing in front of her, but she could only watch the whole scene with spirit, who let such a banquet be for her to catch the wind and wash the dust, and besides, Emperor Chu didn't leave, how dare she resign first.

Everyone wondered if it was the usual banquet, His Majesty would have left the table a long time ago, why was it there all the time today, since His Majesty did not leave, then as a hundred officials, they would not dare to leave first.

So there was a hundred officials lying on their desks sleeping in a drowsy state, and Chu Huang and Yan Yang watched the whole audience and looked at the messy scene in front of them in embarrassment.

Yan Yang felt that there was no point in staying any longer, and was about to resign to Emperor Chu. Emperor Chu said: "Princess, it's getting late, let's rest in the palace for one night, and someone will bring the princess to Xiangwuju." ”

Yan Yang didn't have time to refuse, and Emperor Chu had already made a decision for her. Since this is the case, Yan Yang can no longer excuse anything, "Your Majesty Emperor Xie Chu." ”

"Let's go, princess," a palace maid carrying a lantern walked up to Yan Yang and said slowly.

Yan Yang responded with an "um", and followed the palace maid, and Emperor Chu looked at Yan Yang's back and stopped for a while, and walked towards the imperial study.

As soon as the door was opened, a cheap-mouthed voice sounded, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be able to forget your Yao'er, that Princess Yanyang looks so similar to Miss Yao'er." A man in a brocade robe sat across from his chair, "I said this princess, how does she look so similar to her, if I didn't know that she was from the Qi country, I would have thought Yao'er was back." ”

"She's not Yao'er," Emperor Chu pursed his lips and only said this, his eyes surging with complicated emotions.

"Of course I know," the man pouted, "how can such an indifferent woman be my lovely Yao'er." Does Your Majesty regard the princess as a stand-in for Yao'er?"

"It's Su Che who said it," Emperor Chu felt a little headache and pressed his temple with his hand.

Nan Yu's eyes flashed, and she deliberately put aside the topic, "Anyway, the princess and Yao'er look so similar, are they a little related?" ”

"No," Emperor Chu said impatiently, "You came to me for this?"

"Of course, how long have you not been in contact with a woman since Yao'er left, the last time you wanted to marry Qi Guo, I was blinded, and I thought you let go of Yao'er. Now that I see Princess Yanyang, it turns out that you haven't forgotten Sister Yao'er! Nan Yu said to herself.

"Then thank you for your concern," Emperor Chu smiled dangerously.

"You're welcome, then I'll go first." Nan Yu saw Emperor Chu's smile and knew that he was in a very unhappy state at the moment, and if he stayed like this, it would be better to withdraw first if his life was not guaranteed.

As soon as Nan Yu left, Emperor Chu felt that the whole world was quiet, thinking about Yan Yang who he had seen today, and then thinking about Yao'er in the depths of his memory, he sighed: "Yao'er, ......"

He opened the hallway hidden on the table, and the bookcase behind it slowly moved away, revealing the portrait inside. In the painting, a girl smiled sweetly, he rubbed the painting, and his eyes were complicated, "Yao'er." ”

……

"You cheap maid, you dare to climb into Your Majesty's bed, and you are a sinister species" This is the voice he has heard the most since he was a child, his father is the former Emperor Chu, and his mother is the palace maid next to the concubine, because once his mother climbed into the emperor's bed and gave birth to him, but the emperor did not give his mother an identity, as for him to be handed over to the concubine to raise. For the concubine, he is a disgrace, so although he is a prince, he still does not have the status of the eunuchs around the emperor.

When he was seven years old, he was sent to other countries as a proton, and remember the first time they met, he was being bullied by the princes.

"Stop," the childish voice sounded, and she stood in front of him, "if you bully him again, I will tell Your Majesty." ”

"It's just the abandoned son of Emperor Chu, why are you defending him so much!" The man at the head looked at the little girl who was blocking him, and looked at him with disgust in his eyes, "It's a shame to have a girl to protect you." ”

They only dared to talk about it, although they were unwilling, they were still afraid that the little girl would leave.

"Brother, are you alright?" She stretched out her small hand and took the boy's hand.

"I'm fine," he didn't know what to say, although the little girl in front of him was kind enough to save him once, and it was estimated that those people would trouble him more times next time, but he still couldn't refuse the kindness of the person in front of him.

"Brother heard that you are from Chu, do you miss home?" The little girl sat on the rockery with him and looked at the courtyard in front of him, and the little girl asked casually.

"Yes," he smiled, "I think the capital of Chu is very prosperous, and every March the smoke and rain will shroud the sky over the capital, like a dream." There are also snacks in the capital, the sugar gourd in the alleys is the sweetest, and ......" He hugged himself tightly and sighed as he said slowly.

The little girl was silent for a while, then summoned up the courage to ask, "Do you want to go back?"

"Yes, but can I go back?" He threw a stone into the pond, "I'm here as a proton, and it's been nine years before I go back." By the time I go back, I guess a lot of things have changed......"

"If my brother goes back, what will my brother do?" The little girl looked at the boy suspiciously, "What does my brother want to change?" ”

"I want ......" his eyes flashed with a wonderful light, but they went out in an instant, "what I want, I can't achieve." ”

"Why?" The girl blinked wide-eyed and asked, "What is there in this world that cannot be achieved?"

"It's too much, you don't understand anything when you're young," he smiled helplessly.

The girl smiled and didn't go any further.

……

After separating from the girl, he returned to the palace where he was staying, and the princes, who had been bullying him for several days, did not come to trouble him.

He was feeling a little strange when a sharp voice sounded outside the door, "The Holy Decree has arrived......

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the seven princes of Chu are intelligent, diligent and hardworking, maintain peace between the two countries, and give them a thousand taels of gold and two boxes of jewelry, and they will be personally escorted back to Chu by the Imperial Forest Army."

Hearing this holy decree, he was stunned, originally he thought that he would have nine years to get out of this cage, but he didn't expect that what he wanted at this moment was in his hands. He suddenly remembered the little girl who defended him, and the sentence "Do you want to go back to Chu?" It turned out that the next sentence she didn't say was "I can help you ......"

"The Nine Emperors will take the order." The eunuch reminded as if shouting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," he said gratefully, taking the decree from his father-in-law's hand.

"Nine Emperor Princes, do you still want to thank or thank the noble person of your life," the eunuch squeezed out a bunch of laughter, "Your Highness, what a blessing." There are nobles who plead for His Highness. ”

"Father-in-law is wonderful," he said modestly.

"The minions have retreated first, and tomorrow the Nine Emperor Princes will set off, and the minions will not disturb His Highness's rest."

"Good"

At night, everything was quiet, he couldn't sleep all the time, and tomorrow he was going back to Chu State, and everything that happened was like a dream.

With a "plop" he heard the sound of something outside, and he stepped forward with a lantern and saw a girl fall to the ground. The girl was the girl who defended him before, he put down the lantern in his hand and walked up to help the girl on the ground, and pursed his lips: "How do you know here?"

"I'm inquiring." The girl said aggrievedly, pointing to the high wall, "Why is the wall here so high, it hurts me." ”

"Who told you to climb the wall, don't you know to go through the main entrance?" The boy looked at her with a look that you were stupid.

"Aren't there guards at the main gate?" The girl blinked wide-eyed and said aggrievedly.

"I'm just a proton, who will send guards to guard me?" The boy pursed his lips, and his eyes were complicated.

"Hmm," the girl looked at the young man and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you can go back to Chu Kingdom, how do you feel?"

"Pretty good," the boy smiled.

"Uh-huh," the girl nodded, "Then I hope the little brother can achieve what you want." ”

"Good"

"Then I'll go......" The girl smiled, "It's not early now, brother should rest early." ”

"Hmm" he nodded, looking at the girl's distant figure, firmly in his heart, because it was impossible to see each other again in his life......

And in that year, he killed all his brothers and sat on the throne of the crown prince, and went to the private service for the first time.

"Miss, miss," shouted several maids from behind.

He saw a figure galloping past on a fast horse, leaving behind billowing dust, that face, that figure......

He immediately hijacked a carriage and chased after him......

"Yao'er......" he sighed as he woke up from his memories.

"Someone, go and ask Qin Tianjian." Emperor Chu shouted at the door as he pressed the mechanism and put away the portrait.

Within half an hour, Qin Tianjian hurried over: "Your Majesty, what do you command?"

"What is the nearest auspicious day?" Emperor Chu pressed his temples and asked irritably.

"Your Majesty, the nearest auspicious day is in three days." Qin Tianjian replied with trepidation.

"Okay, you can step down" The young emperor got the answer he wanted, picked up the pen and drafted the holy decree, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the words in the pen, Emperor Chu fell asleep on the bed in the imperial study.

The next day, the holy decree was sent to the Xiangwu Hall where Yan Yang was located, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Princess Yan Yang, virtuous and virtuous, from now on she will be named Yan Guifei, Qin this." ”

"Your Majesty," Yan Yang stood up and took his father-in-law's holy decree.

"Congratulations to Niangniang," as a eunuch beside Emperor Chu, he is naturally not a short-sighted person, this congratulatory sentence is not biased, just right, and there is not too much flattery.

"Father-in-law Xie," Yan Yang replied.

Yan Yang thought that he was ready, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't accept marrying Emperor Chu so soon.

In the past three days, the palace of Chu has been working hard for this wedding.

Yan Yang, as the protagonist of the wedding, didn't care about this wedding at all, "How about the princess's wedding dress?" Mama pointed to a wedding dress similar to red and pointed it to her.

"Yes," Yan Yang didn't want to disturb Mama's interest. Mama was very enthusiastic to choose a wedding dress for her, after all, Yan Yang was brought up by her, and now that she is finally getting married, her heart will eventually be the same as the concubine in the Qi Palace, and she will be sad to some extent.

Yan Yang got into the carriage after being carefully dressed up by his grandmother. doesn't have the ten-mile red makeup she longed for when she was a child, as the son of heaven, she can only use ten-mile red makeup or more luxurious wedding pomp when marrying the queen, and she is just a concubine.

The palace of Chu is the cage for the rest of her life. Yan Yang sat on the edge of the bed and listened to the sound of cups and cups handing over outside, and his heart became more and more nervous.

I don't know how long she waited, but the sounds outside stopped, and she began to sit there and fall asleep.

"Niangniang," the voice of the maid outside sounded, she opened her eyes and looked out the door, "The emperor has political affairs to deal with tonight, so he won't come." ”

"Okay," Yan Yang breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his Xipa and watched the maid guarding the door walk away, and began to look at the decoration in the house. Finding some food on the table, she touched her stomach, which she hadn't eaten in a day, and sat down and ate some food. It didn't take long for me to feel sleepy, so I walked directly to the bed and fell asleep.

She's really tired today.
