Chapter 153: Guest

Emperor Chu was a little colder in Xu Zhan's eyes, and looked at this somewhat yellowed ancient book and thought deeply.

Emperor Chu's face has not been good since Xu Zhan went out, if Chu Yan is going to help Xu Zhan repair ancient books these days, then who is Wen Yi going to see in the prince's mansion in the middle of the night?

There must be people lying here, but who is it? He couldn't say for sure.

He still needs to think about this matter again, if it is really the crown prince......

"Xiao Haizi, you go and invite Wen Yi to come here!"

Emperor Chu didn't know what he thought, as if a string was pulling in his head, he squinted and said coldly.

Instead of guessing like this, it is better for him to invite Wen Yi directly to ask for clarification, he remembered that Wen Yi had been an official for so many years and had paid so much for the Chu State without killing him, and he had not even weakened his official position by half a point if he had made a mistake, but he really disappointed him.

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Gonggong Hai looked up and saw that Emperor Chu's face was a little unsightly, and hurriedly responded.

Now that Wen Yi went to the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night, only the people present at the time knew, and most of the matter could not be sloppy.

Gonggong Hai has been by the side of Emperor Chu for so long, and he can guess what expression Emperor Chu has on his face.

After Gonggong Hai finished speaking, he retreated, and even his steps were very light, for fear of making a noise to the Emperor of Chu.

Inside the Shaw Mansion

Xiao Wanqing's injuries have been poorly healed, Xiao Changge is also measured, the wound is not very deep, at most it is a skin injury, so it is okay to make Xiao Wanqing suffer, but if something really happens to Xiao Wanqing, those who have a heart will use this matter to blackmail her, and even the old lady Xiao Yongde will not forgive her.

And Xiao Changle was still immersed in Chu Yan's gift of her jade pendant, and the matter of Chu Yan's gift of jade pendant had already reached Xiao Changge's ears, but she was unmoved.

She knew that the jade pendant was also given to Xiao Changle at the beginning, but in the end, it was taken away by Yan Ruolin.

The two cousins also fought with each other, fighting like wolves and tigers, and in the end, they were still no match for Yan Ruolin.

Thinking of Yan Ruolin, Xiao Changge's hands and body trembled together, all the previous vividly, even the laughter and pain should be in her mind, lingering.

She wanted to forget but couldn't forget, the pain of being betrayed and hurting into her bone marrow made her boil.

"Miss, the prince is here in the house!"

Zhu Er saw Xiao Changge sitting on the bamboo chair with her eyes closed and shaking as if she was taking a nap, she hesitated for a while before she stepped forward and whispered, calling Xiao Changge, who was thinking, back to her senses.

His eyes opened, and a gleam flashed in his clear eyes.

"It's coming!"

The thin lips opened slightly, and the voice was soft and could only be heard by himself.

And her reaction was not surprised, as if she already knew that the prince would come to the palace.

She knows Chu Yan, and it is precisely because she knows so well that she knows exactly what he will do after he gets the handkerchief.

I'm afraid that in this world, no one knows Chu Yan better than her, even Yan Ruolin, who is with him, doesn't understand.

Xiao Changge got up from the bamboo chair, but with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Er was a little dazzling when she saw this scene, and the golden afterglow was plated on her, thin and strong, which made Zhu Er stunned.

No matter how many times she watched it, she felt that the person in front of her was amazing, and every time she saw her, she had a different feeling.

And seeing the light smile on the corner of her mouth, as if everything was under her control, and never deviated from her expectations, every time she saw Xiao Changge with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Zhu Er felt that she was confident.

How many such women can there be in the world?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Mo: What's on my face? ”

Xiao Changge saw that Zhu Er didn't even blink when she looked at her, she raised her eyebrows and asked lightly.

"Ah, Zhu'er is rude, Miss forgive me."

Zhu Er screamed in surprise, lowered her head and apologized in a panic.

"It's not like you."

Xiao Changge chuckled, his laughter crisp.

Zhu Er was silent, as if she had done something weak-hearted, after hearing Xiao Changge say this, she even turned red, but fortunately she couldn't see her blushing when she was basking in the sun.

"It's not bad to have a sun today, go and shout that the red sleeves bring the chessboard, you and I will play the next game."

Xiao Changge looked at the blue sky, since she woke up, she has been lazy, nothing is basically lying on the bed, it is difficult to move her muscles and bones today, so by the way, move your brain.

"Ah, chess?"

Zhu Er asked again, thinking that she had heard it wrong, why did she think that her young lady was in a good mood today?

As Zhu Er thought, Xiao Changge was really in a good mood today, after all, a sum of money was about to fall into her pocket, and of course she was in a good mood.

The small courtyard on the west side is very quiet, but the lobby is lively, and the reason for this excitement is naturally because the prince has arrived.

As soon as Chu Yan came, the entire Xiao Mansion was full of brilliance, and even the old lady and the Yan family came to meet in person.

The old lady was immersed in the death of the Buddha and did not ask about the world, and today's arrival of the prince made her appear in person, which shows how much the old lady values the prince.

Xiao Changle deliberately changed into a light blue dress, draped in tulle, holding cloud temples, and waited in the lobby early, seeing Chu Yanlai's heart couldn't stop beating, she didn't dare to look at him when she looked at his jade tree in the wind.

"It's an honor for the old lady to meet him personally."

Chu Yan said politely, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

"Where is it, the prince is coming to Xiao Mansion, how can I, as the master, not greet him personally?"

The old lady smiled, Xiao Changle and Yan made eye contacts, and Yan nodded knowingly.

"Come to His Royal Highness the Prince, please try the new tea from the Tang family, it is said that it is fresh tea picked from the mountain, which was just delivered to the Xiao Mansion this morning."

The old lady picked up the teacup, and Chu Yan listened to the old lady's words and took a sip of it.

When it comes to the Tang family, it should be well known that it is mainly engaged in various export trades, and it is also the largest dynasty merchant in Chu, and their tea is not only transported to the people in the palace to drink, but also transported to other countries by sea.

The Tang family is mainly tea, but there are other industries, and there are many things transported to the palace, if you think about it carefully, you can think that most of the food and clothing used in the palace come from the Tang family, which is also the reason why he wants to win over the Tang family.

Although the merchants were lowly, they were indispensable.

And he can stand tall to such a big dynasty merchant as the Tang family because his foundation is very stable, the Tang family has been a dynasty merchant for generations, and if he can win over Tang Moshu, it will be beneficial and harmless to him.

It's just that he was disappointed by the detention of the Tang family's tea last time, and he thought that Tang Moshu would come to beg him, and he would be able to sell Tang Moshu a favor, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and the people of the Yan family are really disadvantageous.

Later, he did ask someone to meet Tang Moshu a few times, and secretly wanted to win him over, but the Tang family had been hesitant to give him an answer.

He was now afraid that someone would preempt him and target the Tang family, so Tang Moshu was reluctant to join forces with him.

"This tea is so fragrant, it deserves to come from the Tang family."

Putting down the teacup, Chu Yan praised.

Hearing Chu Yan praising the old lady, she was also happy, and the whole hall was full of laughter.

"Prince Ben actually has something to ask for fun when he comes this time."

Chu Yan straightened his sleeves and looked at Xiao Changle, who was sitting next to Sheng.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has anything, just say it, as long as Changle can do it, he will definitely help His Royal Highness the Prince."

Xiao Changle was surprised, but he still raised his head and said softly.

His eyes were bent into crescent moons, his eyes were bright and bright, and he even smiled very sweetly, his skin was like a finger flick, so he was indeed a beautiful embryo when he looked closely, Chu Yan couldn't help but move in his heart, and finally coughed twice and looked away.

Xiao Changle looked at Chu Yan, and when she saw Chu Yan move her eyes, she also glanced to the side.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yan couldn't help but hide his face and snickered, looking at his daughter with satisfied eyes.

She believed from the beginning that her daughter would not lose to anyone else!

"Yesterday, the queen saw that Le'er embroidered the handkerchief for the prince and liked it very much, so she asked the prince to ask Le'er if she could help my mother embroider a piece."

Chu Yan looked at Xiao Changle and said, if he didn't find something to make his mother happy, I was afraid that his mother would hold on to An Wu's matter.

An Wuliu may be useful in the future, she is the princess of Yan Kingdom, if something happens in Chu State, Yan State will definitely use this as an excuse to be angry and let Chu State give them an explanation.

The soldiers of the Chu State are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of the Yan State, but it is not a good thing to start a war at this juncture.

"Embroider for the queen?"

Xiao Changle was still shy, but after hearing Chu Yan's words, her face turned a little pale, she didn't believe what she heard in her ears, she squinted her eyes and pulled a smile and asked.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for Le'er."

Chu Yan saw that Xiao Changle's face was a little stiff, and even his face turned a little pale.

"Why, how can it be inconvenient? If the queen mother likes Changle, she will embroider a piece for the queen mother, but it will take three days, and after three days, Changle must ask the maid to send the handkerchief to the prince's mansion. ”

Xiao Changle asked with a sweet smile, and Chu Yan chuckled.

"Then the prince will thank you for the queen mother."

Yan's hand couldn't help but clench, her eyes moved slightly, she looked at Xiao Changle's face was a little wrong, I was afraid that there was something wrong with this matter.

"It is a blessing for Changle to be appreciated by the queen's mother, why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say thank you?"

Xiao Changle smiled and said with a smile, she thought that after giving this handkerchief to Chu Yan, she could suppress Yan Ruolin's arrogance, but now it seems that she was wrong.

As long as those who understand female red will definitely come to the door when they see this handkerchief, she forgot this when she gave the handkerchief to Chu Yan.

"Le'er, your female celebrity is more exquisite than Mr. Lian's, if Mr. Lian sees it, he will definitely be proud of you."

Chu Yan squinted and smiled, Xiao Changle couldn't be happy when he heard Chu Yan's words.

If this is really her own self-creation, she is not afraid, but it is not, fortunately, Mr. Lian is not in the capital when he goes out, if he really lets Mr. Lian see this embroidery, something will definitely happen!

"Changle is not as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Lin'er's female popularity is much more exquisite than Changle, and even Mr. Lian praises Lin'er's cousin."

Xiao Changle frowned, and Chu Yan coughed twice.

"Her Royal Highness Lin'er's daughter Hongben has seen it, although she has obtained the true biography of Mr. Lian, it is far from Le'er."

"Really?"

Mingyan looked at Chu Yan happily, and became happy because of Chu Yan's praise.

Chu Yan nodded, Xiao Changle's smile was a little brighter, and even the white teeth leaked out.

It seemed that there were only the two of them in this hall, looking at each other, and Chu Yan looked at Xiao Changle dotingly.

Even the old lady couldn't help but laugh secretly at this scene, in her opinion, these two people are very compatible, if only Chu Yan also had that meaning.
