Chu Zhao is here.

He lost a lot of weight, his already deep facial features were sharp and cold, his narrow black eyes were deep and indifferent, and there seemed to be no one in his eyes, nor any light.

A large black coat was worn on him, loose and loose, and his black silk black hair was a little dry, tied with an ink crown, which made him pale and thin.

Chu Yi blinked, endured the sourness in his eyes, and suddenly felt that such a Chu Zhao was indeed very similar to Su Jingyuan.

"What do you think of me," Chu Zhao looked at the suddenly quiet surroundings, and saw Chu Rin and Chu Yun again, and stiffly hooked the corners of his lips, "Your Highness and Third Highness are also here, it's really ...... Long time no see. ”

"Fourth, you!" Chu Rin's eyes turned red, he took a step forward with a fierce momentum, and stiffly restrained his urge to drop a punch, gritting his teeth and saying, "If it weren't for Chinese New Year's Eve, I would definitely beat you!" Why do you do that? Why? ”

Chu Zhao didn't care about Chu Rin's gaze, and he didn't explain, his eyes fell on Chu Yi from afar, and he calmly withdrew his gaze.

He found that even if he was no longer the fourth prince Chu Zhao, he was still not qualified to look at her.

How can you match someone like yourself?

"Fourth brother, you, you can sit here with me."

Chu Yao whispered, pointing to the empty seat beside him, revealing tiger teeth and dimples.

Although he had been afraid of Chu Zhao since he was a child, he never thought that one day things would turn out like this.

Chu Yao had to take a deep breath before he could hold back his tears.

"I'm no longer the fourth brother of the Fifth Highness," Chu Zhao tried not to look at Chu Yao's face, lowered his eyes, and bowed humbly, "A grass people, meet the Queen Mother, Your Highnesses, the eldest princess." ”

Empress Dowager Rong narrowed her eyes, looked at him, and did not speak.

Su Jingyuan's matter, the emperor had already told her, she was originally extremely disappointed with what Chu Zhao had done, but after knowing his life experience, she felt sad.

He did something wrong, but he finally chose to stand against the Fan family and his mother.

How much courage does it take to make such a choice?

"Before, why didn't you see Hongu and Xiao Wu?" Chu Ye asked in a low voice, his eyes were like an abyss, but there was a touch of red in his eyes.

Since Chu Zhao was imprisoned in the prison, he wanted to see him, but he repeatedly asked the jailer to pass the message, and he was not willing to see him.

"You are the crown prince, I am a commoner, why is there any need to meet?" Chu Zhao asked rhetorically.

Chu Ye opened his mouth, and finally just asked, "Don't you have anything to explain?" ”

"What the grass people have done has been explained, there is no concealment, no need to explain, everything is the grass people's crime and deserved."

Chu Ye's gentle face was gone, his chest rose and fell, and his black eyes were red.

"Okay, Chu Zhao, you can take a seat." Empress Dowager Rong interrupted the-for-tat confrontation between the two.

After Chu Zhao saluted, he sat down at the last seat.

After a while, Queen Gu Sangsang came late and said, "Your Majesty was going to come with the palace, but I didn't expect something to happen temporarily, Queen Mother, let's start the banquet in advance." ”

"Today is a family feast, so you don't have to be restrained."

After Empress Dowager Rong nodded, the family banquet officially began.

"Big brother, how long are you going to stay in Beijing this time?" Chu Yi took a thin glass of wine and walked up to Chu Rin, trying to make himself happy.

"It's less than half a month, more than a month, now the news of General Su's death hasn't spread, if it spreads, there will definitely be some changes on the side of the barbarians, and there is only Su Bai on the border, I don't worry." Chu Rin said.

"A month? Very good, then accompany me to ride a horse and shoot arrows in Shanglin Yuan......"

"Since you can ride a horse, play by yourself, I have other things to do."

"Big brother, why are you like this?"

"Yi'er, you have to keep in mind that your health is not good, so don't toss."

“……”

Chu Yi had long wanted Chu Rin to take him on horseback, but now he finally returned to Beijing, but he didn't expect him to refuse him.

She pestered Chu Rin for a long time, and finally, Yi Yun stood up and hugged Chu Yi into her arms: "Okay, okay, Yi'er, isn't it just riding and shooting, Chu Rin doesn't care, I'll take care of it." ”

Chu Yi couldn't wait to kiss Yiyun: "Sister-in-law, you are so good, you are really a good person." ”

"Chief, eldest sister-in-law?" Yi Yun was stunned and repeated the title, his eyes lit up with stars.

"Don't you like Yongning calling you that?" Chu Yi hooked his lips and asked deliberately.

In the previous life, Chu Rin fought for the Yan Kingdom all his life, died on the battlefield, and did not marry a wife and have children until he died, but in this life, Chu Yi likes her eldest brother to be happy and happy.

Although Yi Yun's face was red, he still endured his shyness and said seriously: "I like it very much!" ”

She just didn't expect that Chu Yi and the Yan Kingdom royal family would accept her so easily.

Empress Dowager Rong looked at Chu Yi and said to Yi Yun with a smile: "You understand why the mourning family and everyone like Xiao Yongning now, right?" ”

Yi Yun repeated the words "eldest sister-in-law" in her heart, looked at Chu Yi and nodded: "I also like Yi'er, she is the cutest and most beautiful little girl I have ever seen." ”

Halfway through the banquet, Chu Tingxiao and Gonggong Zhang rushed over, and to Chu Yi's surprise, the emperor was followed by Xiao Yan.

"Good news, good news." Chu Tingxiao coughed, and looked at Gu Sangsang for the first time, with an expectant expression on his face.

Gu Sangsang was expressionless, but he didn't speak.

"Queen, why don't you ask me what the good news is?"

"Your Majesty likes to talk about it."

"Don't be verbose, just say what you have to say." Empress Dowager Rong had a cold face.

Although Chu Tingxiao was helpless, he still smiled and announced loudly: "Old Jin Emperor, dead!" ”

Empress Dowager Rong frowned: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, what do you do to say this kind of thing?" ”

Gu Sangsang: "Bad luck." ”

This news was indeed very sudden, and Fu Zhili took the lead in asking, "Your Majesty, is this news accurate?" After all, there has always been news that Emperor Jin is critically ill and has been critically ill for three years. ”

"There will be no problem, this is the information that the dark hall has just received," Chu Tingxiao said, "Now that several princes of the Jin Kingdom are competing for the throne, I have also confirmed with Xiao Yan that his maternal ancestor is the old Jin Emperor." ”

Everyone had heard the rumors of Xiao Yan's mother, and they were only slightly surprised when they heard it.

Xiao Yan said: "Emperor Jin has died a few days ago, and he has not left a will, and the most important thing is that he did not establish the position of crown prince until his death, so the current Jin Kingdom has been in chaos." ”

Theoretically speaking, the old Jin Emperor is Xiao Yan's maternal grandfather, but firstly, Wei Rudai has long been disassociated from the Jin royal family, and secondly, the old Jin Emperor has never recognized him as a grandson, so after getting the news of the death of the old Jin Emperor, Xiao Yan's heart did not fluctuate.

He just vaguely felt in his heart that if Wei Yuanshan wanted to ascend the throne, things would not go so smoothly.

"Alas, that old man is finally dead, at such an old age, if he doesn't die, I will be wronged for Wei Yuanshan." Chu Tingxiao looked at Xiao Yan and sighed.

After all, the old Jin Emperor has been saying that he is going to die for many years, and his grandsons have grown up, but his son is not even a prince.

Empress Dowager Rong said faintly: "A handful of age? The emperor pays attention, the mourning family is also old. ”

"Ahem, how can he compare with the Queen Mother, you will definitely live a hundred years old, and your life will be better than that of Nanshan!"

"In this way, the Jin Kingdom must be in chaos for a while."

Fu Zhili analyzed the impact of this incident, and unknowingly, Xiao Yan, who was obviously an "outsider", mixed into the royal family banquet.

Chu Tingxiao came back to his senses and kept looking at Chu Rin and Yi Yun, Chu Ye and Fu Qianqian.

After three rounds of drinking, Fu Zhili suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for!" ”

Chu Tingxiao guessed that what he was going to say had something to do with Fu Qianqian, but he still held on to the last hope and asked, "What's the matter?" But what about the county lord of Yongjia and the prince? ”

Fu Qianqian and Chu Ye's complexions changed at the same time.

Fu Zhili shook his head, glanced back at his wife and daughter, and resolutely spoke: "The minister wants to ask His Majesty to marry the youngest daughter and the son of the Cen family, Cen Xiao!" ”

Chu Tingxiao was completely heartbroken.

Chu Ye reacted, and raised the corners of his lips in some surprise.

It turned out that the Fu family didn't want to marry their daughter to themselves, which was really a blessing.

Chu Xiang shrugged his shoulders at Chu Tingxiao and said, "Father, Yongning has already reminded you a few days ago, you see, I didn't lie to you." ”

Chu Ye also cooperated: "This is a good thing, Qianqian's identity is indeed worthy of being married by your father, Cen Xiaoerchen also knows that now he is the left captain of the Yulin Army, with strong martial arts and talents, the two are really talented men and women, and they are very compatible." ”

"Liuliu, you let me be quiet," Chu Tingxiao looked at Chu Ye angrily, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I ask you, don't talk about Cen Xiao, what do you think of Yongjia?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he bared his teeth and said "oops".

Gu Sangsang quietly pinched the soft flesh on his waist and said, "Your Majesty, do you have to forcibly break up Qianqian and that Cen Xiao?" Do you know that twisted melons are not sweet! ”

Chu Tingxiao said stubbornly: "I am also for the good of this rebel, what if he actually likes Yongjia in his heart?" They are the same age, and they have grown up together since childhood, and I think it is very suitable, and this melon, sweet or not, twist it down first, and then talk about it-"

Gu Sangsang's fingers moved: "Yes, then I can also twist Your Majesty first." ”

At this time, Chu Ye took a step forward, and said in the nervous eyes of the three members of the Fu family, and in Chu Tingxiao's expectant eyes: "Father Qi, the son already has a favorite person, but this person is not the county lord of Yongjia. ”

Except for Chu Tingxiao, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess settled down and said, "Your Majesty, Qianqian and Cen Xiao are in love, and I can't do anything about it." ”

She did think about making her daughter the crown princess in the past, but it backfired, her daughter had no intention of the prince, and she hoped that her daughter could be happy for the rest of her life.

Chu Tingxiao's expression froze, and he could only respond helplessly: "Yongjia and Cen Xiao are indeed a good match, Zhang Desheng, let's go." ”

Alas, why does he just want to make this group of rebels obedient, it's so difficult.

Sure enough, they are all rebels, only Liuliu is simple and sensible.

Since the prince didn't like Fu Qianqian, and Fu Zhili personally asked for marriage, Chu Tingxiao couldn't refuse.

Fu Qianqian excitedly ate two more bowls of rice, and Chu Ye was also relieved.

It seems that in this life, the two can't be husband and wife, and they are happy with each other.

Chu Yi was also very satisfied, thinking of the person Chu Ye liked, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yan, do you know Geng Chuan's sister, Geng Tingyu?" ”

Xiao Yan just wanted to shake his head, and the matter about Geng Tingyu in his mind involuntarily appeared.

His face, which was originally smiling lightly, froze instantly, and coldly spit out two words: "I know." ”

"What is her family background? I remember that the Geng family is also a general, and their family is considered a scholar clan in Ye. ”

"That woman is not a serious person, and her brother Geng Chuan, you have less contact." Xiao Yan said solemnly.

Hehe, Chu Yi didn't mention that he couldn't remember it, in his previous life, Ah Yi misunderstood that Geng Tingyu liked him, and almost let himself marry her as a side concubine.

Even if it is so, he can only blame himself for not letting Ah Yi open his mind at the beginning, but later, that woman really intensified and pestered Ah Yi all day long!

His intentions are so attractive that he has to be wary of not only men, but also women!

As for Geng Chuan, Xiao Yan had unilaterally cut off Geng Chuan's concern for Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was very puzzled, in his previous life, Geng Tingyu came to Yuwang's Mansion all day long to find himself, he should have wanted to miss Chu Ye by himself, in his opinion, her character is not bad?

"What do you mean by not being a serious person?" Chu Yi asked strangely, "Brother and Geng Tingyu are in love, and the two have exchanged letters for more than a year, and I just want to help him inquire about the current situation of the Geng family in Yedu." ”

A light flashed in Xiao Yan's mind, and he suddenly thought of something.

"You mean, Geng, Geng Tingyu likes the prince?" He stammered.

"Exactly, but don't tell anyone about it, my brother told me to keep it a secret."

The scenes in Xiao Yan's memory surfaced one by one, and he finally knew why Geng Tingyu was pestering Chu Yi every day, and he was still not out of the cabinet, it turned out that he liked Chu Ye who died.

In that previous life, didn't he wronged her and beat Geng Chuan for no reason?

That's it, just think it's fought in advance, anyway, Geng Chuan is his own subordinate.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Yan's lips rose happily, and he said leisurely: "The minister doesn't know much about Geng Tingyu, but since he is the prince's favorite, the minister is willing to help the princess investigate, and I hope they ...... Lovers eventually become married. ”

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight, and everyone gathered at the observation deck, Chu Yi raised his head drunken and hazy, looking at the boundless night.

Hearing only a "whoosh" sound, her ears exploded, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Dazzling fireworks cut through the darkness and burst into the dark sky, reflecting in her eyes and illuminating the snow on the ridge of the roof.

A breeze blew the broken hair on her forehead, and Xiao Yan raised her hand and pinned her hair behind her ears.

It took all his strength to restrain the thought of kissing her.

Chu Yi suddenly sobered up a little, she carefully stretched out her hand, hooked Xiao Yan's fingers, and muttered: "Xiao Yan, will you still be there on Chinese New Year's Eve next year." ”

"I'll be here every year after that." He said seriously.

"But this is not your home...... Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't be sad, if you are sad, you can look at the moon in the sky, Shangjing and Yedu, they are the same moon. She added.

Surrounded by Yan people, he lives here alone, every festive season is more than his family, now is the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion, Chu Yi thought to himself, Xiao Yan should not feel very good in his heart.

Xiao Yan looked at Chu Yitong's red face, his heart melted, and he hooked his lips and said, "There is no moon tonight." ”

Chu Yi frowned, his eyes were a little blurry, and he could indeed only see fireworks.

"yes."

"But the moon is already in my heart."
