After Chu Yi returned to the palace, he did not see Chu Zhao.

After asking Pillow Xue, I learned that Chu Zhao was taken by Duke Zhang to guard the side hall of the Qianyuan Hall, and he could not appear until the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chu Yi wanted to see him, but as soon as he stepped out of the hall, he suddenly remembered what happened on the execution ground.

The relationship between the eldest brother and Yi Yun has probably reached Chu Tingxiao's ears at this moment, and it is better for her not to touch his moldy head.

It wasn't until the evening that he was sent by Chu Yi to borrow the Holy Lotus petals to drink ice and came back, and only said a word that had been conveyed to the doctor next to the third prince, and then returned to his room.

Chu Yi noticed that she was a little strange, but she didn't care too much, after drinking ice and seeing Chu Yun before, she would always behave differently than usual.

In the middle of winter, the flowers in the imperial garden wither, and only the plum blossoms bloom alone.

She pulled the pillow snow and looked for spring, she used to recall the plum blossom cake made by Mrs. Zhen back then, and baked a lot of dim sum in a short time, in addition to giving it to Chu Yun, she also made some of Xiao Yan's favorite rose cakes and osmanthus cakes in her previous life, and asked the pillow snow to send them to Mingyue Pavilion.

Next.

The matter of the eldest prince Chu Rin and the little princess of the Ashina tribe, Ashina Yiyun, spread all over the capital and the palace.

Early in the morning, the emperor, who was dining with the queen in Yonghua Palace, broke a teacup because he was angry, and then was driven out of the dormitory by the queen.

Chu Tingxiao was even more angry, he stood at the door of Yonghua Palace and hesitated for a while, until he heard a dog barking from the apse and left angrily.

He rushed to Yongshou Palace angrily, wanting to complain to the Queen Mother, but before he entered the palace, he saw the Queen Mother Rong and Chu Yi, as well as the red-haired girl, and the happy scene between the three of them and grandchildren.

The red-haired girl is the barbarian that Chu Rin wants to marry.

In the corner, Xiao Yan was drinking tea with Chu Rin, playing chess, and eating a piece of pastry from time to time.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, Xiao Yan immediately became serious: "The minister has seen Your Majesty."

Since recovering the memories related to Chu Yi, he not only regards Chu Tingxiao as the emperor, but also as a relative.

Although this loved one ...... Somewhat grumpy.

"Rebel, rebel!"

Chu Tingxiao rushed to Chu Rin angrily and pointed at his face.

"You say it's bad who you like, you like a barbarian woman, do you want to be angry?!"

Chu Rin clenched his fists, a face similar to Chu Tingxiao was extremely serious, and explained in a deep voice: "I still hope that my father will be Mingjian, and my son has never thought of being angry with my father."

Chu Tingxiao stroked his chest and looked at Xiao Yan a few more times.

"Aren't you my imperial guard, why are you following Xiaoliu all day now, ah?" He attacks indiscriminately.

Xiao Yan said: "Your Majesty has allowed the minister to protect Princess Yongning before, and the minister will not leave the princess."

"I don't remember!"

What made Chu Tingxiao angry the most was naturally Chu Rin, he slapped the table, and the snacks on the table almost flew away: "I'm angry, you are a native of the Yan Kingdom, and you are with the barbarian people, are you worthy of Dayan, you are the prince of Dayan, and besides, didn't you attack the barbarians before——"

"Alright."

Empress Dowager Rong was so noisy by Chu Tingxiao that she couldn't discuss the plot of the script with Chu Yi, and said with a frown.

"Emperor, sit down and speak."

The Emperor immediately shut up and sat down, and said, "What does the Queen Mother think? Is it the same as me, thinking that Chu Rin's move is really inappropriate, it is really a heinous crime, apostasy, and abandonment of the ancestors."

Chu Rin looked at Empress Dowager Rong innocently: "Grandmother, my father said that my grandson is a great crime......

Xiao Yan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, that's a snack made by the princess."

"Your Majesty Emperor Yan, there is no hatred between our Ashina clan and the Yan Kingdom," Yi Yun couldn't help but whisper to defend himself, "I also hope that you will be clear, my brother has always said that the Emperor of the Central Plains he respects the most is you."

Empress Dowager Rong patted Yi Yun's hand and said, "One bite is a barbarian, one bite is a great crime, this is the future granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family, the future eldest princess of Dayan, why are you not polite at all?"

"I—"

"Your six children, except for Yi'er, none of them can make the mourning family worry," Empress Dowager Rong looked at Chu Yi's gaze very gently, and then her face turned cold and became serious, "Now that the boss finally has a girl he likes, and he specially brought it back to show you, are you still not satisfied?"

"I—"

"I'm not satisfied with you looking for them, can you find it, last year you said that you were going to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and the matter was so big, did you choose something?"

"I—"

"The mourning family is old, and I just want to hold a great-grandson in my lifetime, just such a little wish, does the emperor still want to deprive it? Is the emperor still unwilling? Is the Emperor still going to object?"

After Empress Dowager Rong finished speaking, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chu Yi patted her on the back and said goodbye.

Chu Rin silently gave a thumbs up, feeling that it was the most correct decision he had made to bring Yi Yun into the palace to visit the imperial grandmother today.

Chu Tingxiao stopped speechless from wanting to speak, and finally changed the topic in a low voice: "The prince's marriage, I am also thinking about it, I actually think that the county lord of Yongjia is good, but ......."

Empress Dowager Rong showed a look of seeing everything: "Do you think you can't see it when you change the topic? Now it's about Rin'er and Eyun."

Chu Yi said sadly: "By the way, Father, there is something Yongning wants to tell you. Yongning unexpectedly learned some time ago that Sister Qianqian already has someone she likes, and she hopes that Yongning can intercede for her, and then ask His Majesty to give her a marriage."

Chu Tingxiao's eyes lit up: "Oh? But Ye'er?"

Among those who are alternative, or qualified to become the crown princess, he is most satisfied with the eldest princess's daughter Fu Qianqian, not to mention anything else, she is healthy, cheerful, and knows her roots, isn't it very good.

And before, he saw that the eldest princess also intended to promote this matter.

"It's the son of the cavalry general Cen Zijing, Cen Xiao."

"Oh, it's him," Chu Tingxiao nodded, his expression suddenly changed, and his whole face distorted into a ball, "What, it's him?!"

Chu Yi: "Exactly."

Chu Tingxiao knew that Liuliu would not lie to himself, so he was immediately furious and let out an angry roar: "Chu Ye's rebel, he can't even grasp the opportunity given to him!" Why can't it be like me?"

Chu Yi hasn't said it yet, not only did the prospective crown princess Fu Qianqian fall in love with Cen Xiao, but the prince also fell in love with Geng Tingyu of Yongguo.

She was afraid that if she said it, Chu Tingxiao fainted on the spot.

"Rebels, all rebels, okay," Chu Tingxiao pointed at Chu Rin and threatened, "If you insist on this, what can I do? I can only deprive you of the right to compete for the throne."

Because he married a woman of different races, he was not eligible to compete for the throne......

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this reason was inexplicably familiar.

Chu Rin looked confused: "Father, have you forgotten, Erchen's mother is a member of the Hui tribe, and Erchen has been in the army since he was a child, and he is not qualified in the first place, could it be that his father wants Erchen to fight with the prince?"

Chu Tingxiao: "...... Farewell."

He said that he couldn't leave this group of people.

Chu Tingxiao brushed his sleeves away, and when he passed by Xiao Yan, he inadvertently glanced at the chessboard where the two were playing, and his eyebrows moved.

"This sunspot's path is really too fierce, you look at Baizi, he is patient step by step, humble and polite, worthy of being my son."

Chu Tingxiao didn't want to make Chu Rin proud, his voice was lowered a little, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"My six are weak and can't take care of myself, how can I rest assured that you have such a ruthless heart......

Xiao Yan raised his head, and said indifferently with a pair of clear phoenix eyes: "Your Majesty, Baizi is the minister, and Heizi is the Great Highness."

The corners of Chu Tingxiao's mouth twitched: "...... Then why do you two sit in different seats?"

"I stood up when I greeted Your Majesty."

Chu Tingxiao gritted his teeth, his tone changed, and he said, "Bai Zi is weak and weak, cowardly and cowardly, and has been devoured by sunspots all the way, you have this ability, you can't even compare to that rebel?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward, picked up a white chess piece, and landed lightly in one place.

Slender phalanges lining

Crystal chess pieces, like cold white jade.

The situation on the chessboard changed in an instant, and Kuroko, who had been soaring all the way, had already fallen into the trap of Baizi.

One son falls, and the sunspots lose all the games.

"I didn't expect you to be so insidious and cunning, that rebel is arrogant, naturally he can't play the scheming of you, a Yongguo person." Chu Tingxiao was still not satisfied.

Xiao Yan smiled calmly at the corner of his lips and picked up the fallen chess piece.

"Hey, there are no regrets, regrets are not made by a gentleman." Chu Tingxiao wanted to stop it again.

Xiao Yan said: "The minister is a princess, and he is willing not to be a gentleman."

As he spoke, he casually placed the white child in another place.

"If you lose, you are qualified to accompany the princess, and the minister is willing to lose for the princess."

On the chessboard, Bai Zi is completely powerless to return to the sky, and he can only lose in three moves.

Chu Tingxiao pursed his lips, and didn't say anything after all, just glanced at him deeply, picked up a plate of snacks on the table, and left the Yongshou Palace.

At this moment, Xiao Yan took out the peach candy hidden in his arms and put it in his mouth, still a little distressed that the dim sum was snatched away.

He took another black seed, and put it in one place, and a white seed, and landed it in another.

Baizi came back to life again.

"It seems that Your Majesty's chess skills are not good." He muttered to himself.

Chu Yi didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but she just felt that her father seemed to be jumping back and forth between being angry and half dead, and finally ran away by Xiao Yan.

When the emperor left, Chu Rin and Yi Yun looked at Chu Yi: "Thank you, if you hadn't invited us into the palace today, we wouldn't have thought of having a grandmother."

Empress Dowager Rong coughed, and her wrinkled eyes flashed with wisdom: "What, don't you thank the mourning family?"

The two glanced at each other, knelt down and kowtowed together: "Grandson, thank you Imperial Grandmother."

"Okay, okay, the mourning family just hopes that you can play with the entire great-grandson of the mourning family as soon as possible." Empress Dowager Rong said with a smile.

"This ......" both of their faces turned red at the same time.

"Okay, Yi'er, you continue to tell the mourning family, what happened to "Merry King and Pretty Nun" in the end......

"Yes."

After < r, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The heavy snow from the afternoon to the evening, dyeing the heaven and the earth white, the whole palace of the green tile glass is also wrapped in silver, the palace banquet, a plate of delicacies on the table, accompanied by the beautiful sound of the surrounding silk and bamboo orchestra, the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter.

Chu Yi and Yi Yun accompanied Empress Dowager Rong and arrived at the banquet early.

Tonight is a family banquet, and all the people who can come are from the royal family, and only Yi Yun has been allowed by Empress Dowager Rong to come together, and even Xiao Yan has not appeared.

Yi Yun has no place to live in Beijing, and he is favored by Empress Dowager Rong?"

Chu Yi nodded: "Yes, yes, it's more like me."

The eldest princess's family of three greeted the prince behind him, Fu Qianqian glared at Chu Yao, and said, "Chu, I said that the food has been served, why don't you hurry up, hmph."

Chu Yao: "What do you know, I'll go slower in case I can meet ...... Forget it, you don't understand."

"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness."

Fu Zhili saluted the crown prince and the eldest prince.

The eldest princess, who has always been proud, also bowed slightly to the prince and said, "Your Highness has worked hard, and so has Your Highness."

"This palace is just doing its own thing, but it is my aunt and uncle, this time is really hard."

The prince was even more modest than Fu Zhili, and his respectful attitude made Chu Rin next to him a little overwhelmed.

His aunt has always been uninhibited, except for Yi'er, she never took their other princes in her eyes, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to care about Chu Ye?

He, the second brother, does things well, seems polite but also alienated, but he didn't expect to face the eldest princess's posture so low?

Are they so polite because they want to be married? But didn't Yi'er say a few days ago that Fu Qianqian fell in love with Cen Zijing's son Cen Xiao.

Chu Rin thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out.

It seems that he is really not suitable to compete for the throne.

Only Chu Yi knew that the reason why the eldest princess was so polite to the prince was because she felt guilty that her daughter had fallen in love with someone else and could not be the crown princess;

The reason why the prince is also very polite to the eldest princess is because he is guilty that he likes Geng Tingyu and cannot marry Fu Qianqian.

Chu Ye had a smile on his face, and said, "I haven't congratulated my uncle yet, congratulations to my uncle on his promotion to the position of prime minister, and from now on, my uncle will be the first prime minister of Dayan."

The current Fu Zhili is no longer the Ministry of Rites Shangshu with a good reputation a few months ago, the eldest princess and the horse.

Three days ago, he was ordered by Chu Tingxiao to replace Fan Qian's position and become the new prime minister of Dayan.

The identity of the colt cannot hide the shining gold.

"Ahem...... Your brother isn't late, is he?"

Chu Yun, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur, also walked slowly, he was wearing a thick coat, but his face was still a little pale, and he was followed by a team of doctors as usual, bending his eyes and bowing his hand to the prince.

Chu saw him, and hurriedly said, "Drink Bing, you go and help the Third Emperor Brother."

To her surprise, Yin Bing, who had been hiding by her side, did not appear, as if she didn't care about Chu Yun's coming.

Since the day before yesterday, she asked Yin Bing to go to the Three Princes' Mansion to borrow a holy lotus petal, and since Yin Bing came back, she has been depressed.

"The meal has been served, Ah Yun, you came just in time." Chu Ye said, and suddenly stopped.

Chu Rin looked at the visitor, and his expression also became deep and indifferent.
