"See the Emperor." The little eunuch came running from outside, with joy in his eyebrows, and knelt on the ground to greet the emperor.

"What?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's a great event! It's your two princesses who are back. ”

Hearing the words of the little eunuch, the emperor was overjoyed, and asked all these people to stop, go out one by one, and bring Chu Qiaosi and Chu Qiaomeng in by the way.

Seeing them return, the emperor immediately stepped down from his seat and came to their side.

"My emperor is really outstanding, this time it must be a triumphant return, right?" The emperor buckled the high hat directly on the heads of the two.

"Father, my sister and I have fulfilled our mission, although we have gone through several tosses, we finally completed what our father explained." Chu Qiaomeng took the initiative to step forward and happily told the emperor about it.

"Yes, Father, now the people of the other country are willing to settle this matter peacefully, but with some conditions. Erchen felt that these conditions were not too harsh, so he agreed for his father and asked his father to take a closer look. ”

As he spoke, Chu Qiaosi walked over and presented the small conditions put forward by these people.

Picked up the fold in front of him and looked at it a few times, and the emperor put it aside, it was obvious that these were all small requests.

For them, a country rich in material resources and vast territory, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"It's just a small condition, and I won't deal with them. Now that the rebellion of the King of Wood has been successfully quelled, you have brought such a great good news, my father will have a banquet in the imperial garden tonight, you go to inform the concubines in the palace, and by the way, tell Gonggong Zhang, let him go to Zhang Luo, this night to have fun with the officials! ”

What the emperor said was impassioned and inspiring, and Chu Qiaosi and Chu Qiaomeng agreed again and again.

At the same time, Chu Xingze and An Lan were sitting at home when they suddenly heard a shouting sound outside and found that it was Hongqiang.

With an invitation in her hand and some small gifts, she ran to the middle of the yard in a hurry.

"Lord and Madam, there is news from the palace that I want you to attend the banquet tonight. They all sent invitations, as well as gifts from the emperor to his wife. ”

Hongqiang happily stuffed the invitation into An Lan's hand, completely ignoring Chu Xingze, the prince.

Chu Xingze didn't care about her either, An Lan had already opened the invitation at the moment. Seeing the time and place above, Chu Xingze would not shirk.

Although An Lan didn't want to agree, it was specially written that the two of them should participate. This is the emperor's intention, and if you don't attend, you will inevitably not give thin noodles.

"Madam, now that the time is near, why don't we go and pick out some clothes?" Chu Xingze's tone was gentle, and his eyes were full of endless warmth.

An Lan nodded and agreed. Since this is a celebration of the whole world, it is natural to buy some more festive clothes.

Chu Xingze was excited in his heart, and took An Lan to the most luxurious store in the capital. After choosing a decent piece of clothing, he bought new bead hairpin jewelry for Anlan, etc., which cost a lot of money.

Just after dusk, Chu Xingze took the well-dressed An Lan and set off to the palace together.

Today's palace was full of lights, Chu Xingze hugged An Lan's shoulder and came to the seat, and the other civil and military officials all arrived, and the emperor was alone.

After about a quarter of an hour, the emperor came to the cheers of the crowd.

Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.

"You don't have to be polite! I hope that everyone can have a good drink today, and there is no need to stick to the courtesy of the king. If anyone dares to be polite, I will punish him severely. "The emperor does not have the usual majesty, but is much more peaceful.

Hearing this, several princesses cheered first, and took their wine glasses to toast with the emperor. Seeing this situation, other ministers also followed suit.

The emperor drank several glasses of water and wine at once, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Everyone else was toasting each other, but Chu Xingze didn't toast to the emperor, which made An Lan feel strange.

"Chu Xingze, your brothers and sisters are all going to toast, why don't you go?" An Lan was very surprised by this.

"The reason why they toasted their father was because they felt that his father was the most important, so they went to drink. But the most important thing for this king is Madame, so I want to honor Madame for this first glass of wine! Thank you for your long-term companionship, and I will do it first. ”

Chu Xingze said sensational, and directly took it up and drank it all.

Listening to his words, An Lan was completely shocked, he never thought that Chu Xingze would regard himself as such an important person.

A warm current emerged from her heart, and she took the wine glass in front of her and drank it all, a smile crossed the corner of her lips.

Although it is light, it is enthusiastic for Chu Xingze, and the two of them have released their suspicions because of this.

Everyone toasted each other, followed by a song and dance program prepared by the emperor. The princesses also carefully presented their personal talents.

The banquet lasted for nearly an hour, and it was over.

The emperor drank a few more glasses of wine and was tired, but his mind was very clear, and he took the initiative to stand up near the end.

"Today, I not only want to celebrate with all the Aiqing and all the emperors, but I also want to give amnesty to the world. However, if the criminal law is slight, the sentence will be terminated, and the people will be exempted from paying taxes for three years......"

In the face of the ministers, the emperor did not hesitate to say such a word of amnesty to the world. The civil and military officials immediately shouted loudly.

It lasted until late in the evening, and the ministers went back to their homes. An Lan and Chu Xingze went back together, and the relationship was finally completely eased.

Back at the palace, Chu Xingze personally sent An Lan to the middle of the courtyard.

"Madame go back and rest sooner." Chu Xingze's gaze was reluctant.

If An Lan was willing to let him stay, it would be good, but he knew that it was not appropriate to mention this matter at this juncture.

An Lan just nodded faintly.

"The prince should also go back to rest earlier, the prince drank a lot of wine today, remember to drink a bowl of sobering soup." Her words were full of care.

Chu Xingze was excited and waved goodbye to An Lan.

They went to bed early after each went back to their rooms, but at this time, Chu Yunhui couldn't sleep at all.

"What is the prince bored, why don't you rest early? The prince used a lot of wine today! A favorite concubine hugged Chu Yunhui from behind, and breathed like an orchid in Chu Yunhui's ear.

Hearing his words, Chu Yunhui couldn't help but snort coldly.

"How can you let this king sleep, didn't you see Chu Xingze's aura today, he didn't drink with his father! It's all because of him that today this king will be reprimanded by his father, and he actually said that I tend to be inflammatory......"

When I thought of my father's blame for me today, I couldn't swallow this resentment in my heart.

Although his father only mentioned it briefly, it was a great punishment for him.

"It turns out that it's because of such a trivial matter, don't be angry...... the princess" The woman hugged Chu Yunhui and coaxed her for a long time, but Chu Yunhui disdained her.
