Chapter Seventy-Nine, Candidates for the Mission
"The lord of the country decrees, announce the entry of the Nine Emperor Princes into the palace!" Today, a father-in-law in the palace came to announce the decree, and after Chu Ge received the decree, the father-in-law said to Chu Ge: "Nine Emperor Princes, our family will leave first, Queen Fu asked our family to bring you a message, go see her before leaving!"
"Got it, tired father-in-law!" Chu Ge responded! Then the father-in-law left, and Chu Ge also went back to the house to pack up and prepare to enter the palace!
The National Day of the Tang Dynasty is imminent, presumably this time I entered the palace for this purpose! Chu Ge understood in his heart, but he still had an idea when he entered the palace!
"Wait for the Liancheng girl to come back and send the snacks I bought for her!" After Chu Ge finished instructing his subordinates, he left the mansion and left, and the carriage went directly to the direction of the palace!
After entering the palace gate, the carriage stopped! As soon as Chu Ge came down, he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it turned out that the eldest prince had arrived!
"Xiao Jiu, what a coincidence!" The eldest prince greeted Chu Ge warmly, and Chu Ge also saluted: "I've seen the eldest brother!"
"No need to be so polite!" The eldest prince patted Chu Ge on the shoulder and said, "Let's hurry up and see our father, don't let him wait in a hurry!"
"Yes!" Chu Ge answered, and then followed the eldest prince to the main hall in the center of the palace!
The main hall is majestic, there are dragons supporting each other, Chu Ge and the eldest prince walked up the steps, and from time to time they have already walked to the door of the main hall!
"Big brother, ninth brother!" At this time, a young man walked out of the main hall, dressed gorgeously, with an elegant and noble temperament, with a folding fan pinned to his waist, and bowed his hand towards Chu Ge and the eldest prince!
"Mochen, I haven't seen you for a long time, now you are a big man in my Xichu!" The eldest prince said with a smile, while Chu Ge said, "I've seen the sixth brother!"
This young man is the sixth prince of Western Chu, Chu Mochen, who is responsible for the foreign-related affairs of Western Chu, because he is quite fair and reasonable, and can speak well, so his status in the court is very high, and Chu Mochen's name is widely known in other countries!
"The words of the eldest brother make me embarrassed, you are my brother, how dare I be in a high position in front of you!" Chu Mochen's words fell, and the eldest prince's face was obviously a lot happier, but he still humbled himself a little!
"Ninth brother, this time to envoy Datang, you are willing to go, but it is beyond my expectations!" Chu Mochen then looked at Chu Ge and said, since they have all arrived at the main hall, there is naturally no need to hide anything here!
"Sixth brother, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty is a major event for me in Xichu, so naturally I can't stand by and watch!" As soon as Chu Ge's words were finished, the sixth prince immediately said, "Our ninth brother has finally grown up!"
Subsequently, the eldest prince and the sixth prince all laughed! It's just because Chu Ge never paid attention to these things before, so he secretly got the title of "immature heart", so the six princes said this!
"Since you're here, don't stand at the door, come in!" At this time, a majestic voice came from the main hall, and after the three of them heard it, their expressions immediately returned to normal, and they each tidied up their clothes and walked into the main hall!
On the high dragon chair in the main hall, there was already a person sitting at this time, it was the lord of Western Chu, Chu Shili!
"Meet my father!" The three of them said in unison!
"Excuse me!" Chu Shili waved his hand, and then he spoke: "The three of you brothers should know what I called you to do, the task of this mission to Datang is very important, we Xichu want to take this opportunity to get along with Datang, and my order to the three of you brothers is to go to Datang, be sure to have a good relationship with the princes of Datang, and at the same time pass on the goodwill of my Xichu to Datang!"
"Yes, Father!" The three of them answered together!
"Mochen, here, you know the most about Datang, who do you think is the most likely to be the crown prince among the current princes of Datang!" At this time, Chu Shili suddenly asked!
The sixth prince was suddenly pointed, and he didn't understand why Chu Shili had such a question, but he couldn't help but answer, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Erchen thinks that Tang Ye, the current great prince of the Tang Dynasty, is the most likely!" First, Tang Ye is the eldest brother and is quite popular in Datang; Second, Tang Ye has made many achievements in foreign campaigns in the past two years, and his sister's status in the court is not low, and she has recruited countless ministers for him. ”
Chu Shili nodded when he heard the words of the sixth prince, but the eldest prince heard it with a dark look in his eyes!
"What you said is very good, I have also heard of Tang Ye, he is very famous, you have to pay more attention to this time when you go to Datang!"
"Yes, Father!" The Six Princes promised!
"Dustling, what do you think?" At this time, Chu Shili looked at the eldest prince! The eldest prince's real name is Chu Chenling!
"Father, the details of what the sons know are not as good as the sixth brother, but after the sixth brother's narration, the sons also agree with it!" After the eldest prince finished speaking, Chu Shili looked at Chu Ge again!
"Erchen also agrees with what the sixth brother said!" Chu Ge spoke!
"You two, learn from Lao Liu, especially Xiao Jiu, do you know!" Chu Shili said in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel!
"Got it, Father!" The eldest prince and Chu Ge said in unison!
"This time to envoy Datang, accompanied by 300 people, sent by the forbidden army in the palace, I will not send other old ministers to accompany me, only the three of you, of which the sixth is the chief envoy, the eldest and the ninth are the left and right envoys, understand!"
"Understood!" The three of them said!
"Well, the mission is ready, set off in three days, and then you can meet on your own!" After Chu Shili finished speaking, the three of them were a little surprised in their hearts, this time to set off was a bit early, but the three of them didn't say this, and they took orders in unison!
"If there's nothing else to do, go down, I'll wait for you to come back in triumph and have a homely meal together!" Chu Shili stood up as he spoke, and the eldest prince and the sixth prince were also ready to leave!
"Father! Something is wrong with the son! At this time, Chu Ge stood up and spoke!
"Huh?" Chu Shili stopped, even the eldest prince and the sixth prince also looked at Chu Ge, not knowing what he was going to do!
"Father, the son wants to bring someone with him this time!" As soon as Chu Ge's words were finished, the sixth prince looked puzzled, but the eldest prince was like a mirror, he knew who Chu Ge was talking about!
"Nonsense! Envoy Datang has such a heavy responsibility, how can he bring idle people and so on! Needless to say, give me a step down! Chu Shili suddenly scolded loudly, and then walked out of the hall without looking back!
"Ninth brother, let's go!" The eldest prince patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, not only did he not blame Chu Ge for doing this, on the contrary, he wanted to see such a scene! "Ninth brother, who are you going to bring!" At this time, the sixth prince stepped forward to ask, but was pulled away by the eldest prince and whispered something in his ear!
At this time, there was only Chu Ge left in the main hall, and he also knew that his behavior was a little inappropriate, but he didn't expect Chu Shili to be so hot!
"Hey!" Sighing secretly, Chu Ge was ready to leave!
"The Nine Emperor Princes stay!" At this time, the father-in-law who gave him the decree came over!
"What's the matter with my father-in-law?" Chu Ge turned around and asked curiously!
"Nine Emperor Princes, the old slave passed on the words of the lord of the country! The mission can't increase the number of people, but people outside the mission can't care! After his father-in-law's words were finished, Chu Ge immediately saluted and said, "Chu Ge understands!"
"Nine Emperor Princes, don't forget to go to Queen Fu!" After the father-in-law finished speaking, he left, and Chu Ge thought about it and walked towards the harem!
The Nine Emperors' Mansion in Yedu City, today's Liancheng took Xiaocui to Moxiang Pavilion!
"Liancheng girl is here!" Mr. Zixiang is still standing there! "Where's the Lord of the Ink Pavilion?" Liancheng asks!
"The old body is here!" The Lord of the Ink Pavilion said, walking down from the second floor!
"Lord Moge, slow down!" Liancheng hurried to help the Lord of the Ink Pavilion! "Hey, I'm getting old after all, and I'm a little slow! The Lord of the Ink Pavilion said, and was helped downstairs by Liancheng! After the Lord of the Ink Pavilion sat down, Lian Cheng said to the Lord of the Ink Pavilion: "Lord of the Ink Pavilion, I have something to ask for today!"
"Liancheng girl, please speak!" The main road of the ink pavilion!
"I want to ask the Lord of the Ink Pavilion to take my maid Xiaocui and teach her skills!" After Liancheng's words were finished, Xiaocui looked at Liancheng, her face was full of incredulity, Liancheng didn't tell her about it when she went out!
The Mo Pavilion Lord's face was indifferent, she looked at Liancheng and said, "Do you know that she is just a little maid, why should I accept her?" After the Mo Pavilion Lord's words were finished, Xiao Cui showed a lost expression! And Lian Cheng looked at the Mo Pavilion Lord and said, "I believe that the Mo Pavilion Lord is not a prejudiced person, you will promise me!"
"Give me a reason!" The main road of the ink pavilion!
"I may leave Yedu in the future, I can't take Xiaocui away, she has some talent, I want to ask the Lord of the Ink Pavilion to take her as an apprentice, so that she can reorganize her life in the future!" After Liancheng's words were finished, Xiaocui hurriedly looked at Liancheng, with all kinds of words in her heart! And the Mo Pavilion Lord looked at Xiao Cui's expression, and suddenly made up his mind in surprise!
"I promise you!" The Lord of the Ink Pavilion nodded, Lian Cheng showed a happy look, and she hurriedly beckoned Xiao Cui to let her thank the Lord of the Ink Pavilion!
"Miss, I don't want to stay here, I just want to be with you!" At this time, Xiao Cui finally said what she thought in her heart, and as she spoke, tears appeared in her eyes!
"Xiao Cui, I'm just leaving for a while, and I'll come back, you stay in Moxiang Pavilion, with the teachings of the Lord of Moxiang, you will definitely live the life you want!" After Liancheng finished speaking, Xiao Cui shook his head vigorously and said, "Miss has a great favor to Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui is only with Miss in this life!"
"What a faithful maid!" The Lord of the Ink Pavilion opened his mouth and said: "You just stay in the Ink Fragrance Pavilion, if you really want to repay your young lady, follow me to learn skills, just rely on you can only serve people now, how can you repay it?" The words of the Mo Pavilion Lord are still useful, on the one hand, what she said is reasonable, and on the other hand, Xiao Cui has a sense of awe for the Mo Pavilion Lord!
"Xiaocui, after I leave, you obediently learn skills here, and when I come back, I want to see a different Xiaocui!"
"Hmm!" Listening to Liancheng's words, Xiao Cui nodded heavily!
"Where is Liancheng girl going?" At this time, the Lord of the Ink Pavilion opened his mouth and asked what he thought!
"I'm going to Datang!" After Liancheng's words were finished, Mr. Zixiang at the counter looked at it! And the Lord of the Ink Pavilion stood up and invited Liancheng into the back room, and asked carefully! After Liancheng explained the matter to the Mo Pavilion Lord, the Mo Pavilion Lord said to Liancheng: "The Nine Emperor Princes are really good to you, do you also like the Nine Emperor Princes?"
Looking at the Mo Pavilion Lord's question, Liancheng was speechless for a while!
"Hehe, understood!" The Ink Pavilion Lord no longer waited for Liancheng's answer and began to say something else to her, and then, Liancheng also said goodbye to the Ink Pavilion Lord and left the Ink Fragrance Pavilion!
"The mission travels, this Ye can finally let me breathe a sigh of relief!" The Lord of the Ink Pavilion watched Liancheng leave, and said secretly in his heart!
