"Princess, the water is cold, it's time to heat the water." Ruby said outside the door.

"I'll be right here." Chu Wanxiang finished answering and was about to withdraw.

Chu Mohan suddenly stopped her, and his tone was cold: "You don't have to serve this king, go to bed."

Chu Wanxiang raised his head in surprise.

"What, you want to stay here?" Chu Mohan frowned.

Chu Wanxiang shook her head and turned around and went back to the room. Lying on the bed, Chu Wanxiang tossed and turned, unable to calm down for a long time.

Don't men in this world like women? Or is it because she doesn't have enough charisma? Chu Wanxiang turned over, looked at the black tent roof, and muttered, "Whether you admit it or not, my soul is a woman!"

Chu Wanxiang sighed, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Hongyu was tinkering with rouge gouache in front of the dresser, Chu Wanxiang walked over and looked at her curiously, "What are you doing?"

"The princess was tired last night, and it is not appropriate to see guests today."

"Oh." Chu Wanxiang suddenly realized. She rubbed the tip of her nose and coughed twice.

At this time, Chu Duyun's voice came from outside: "Third brother and sister."

"Big brother is here." Chu Wanxiang hurriedly greeted him.

"Last night, my father convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and it was delayed for some time, so don't mind the third brother and sister." Chu Duyun said apologetically.

"Big brother is polite, it's the evening Xiang who is not well entertained."

"Third brother and sister, today we are leaving for the north." Chu Duyun said.

Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did the imperial grandmother summon us back to Beijing?"

Chu Duyun nodded, "Hmm."

Chu Wanxiang pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you stay for a while longer, I want to accompany my father and mother."

Chu Duyun thought for a while and said, "Father Emperor has ordered us to return immediately, if we are forcibly stranded, I am afraid that we will be displeased with Father Emperor. The third brother and sister can rest assured that although our father urged us to go back, he did not imprison our freedom, and we can leave the city at any time as long as we want."

"In that case, let's set out today." Chu Wanxiang said with a smile.

Hongyu sent a change of clothes, Chu Wanxiang changed into them, and simply put on light makeup.

Chu Duyun walked in front of the mirror and took a look at it, and said with appreciation: "The third brother and sister are worthy of being the number one beauty in Jiangnan, no wonder even the imperial brother has moved his heart."

Chu Wanxiang smiled.

"Don't show affection in front of me, you are both my brother and daughter-in-law." Ruby said sourly, "It's not like me, I'm alone."

Chu Duyun patted Hongyu's shoulder and comforted, "When this palace marries you, I will let you be the queen of this palace."

When Chu Duyun said this, Chu Wanxiang felt that there seemed to be something hidden in Chu Duyun's eyes. She couldn't help but take a closer look at him. Chu Duyun had a light smile on his face, his expression was relaxed and comfortable, as if the sentence just now was just a joke.

"Big brother, you have to count when you speak, don't be repaid." Hongyu smiled and said, "If you dare to pay the bill, I will tell my father."

"Stinky girl, dare to threaten your big brother!" Chu Duyun made a gesture and knocked her forehead.

"I mean it, big brother! You can't bully me into a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, huh!" Ruby covered her forehead and muttered.

Chu Wanxiang watched their brother and sister fighting, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile, this scene reminded her of when she was a child. When she was still a princess, her father and queen mother were very fond of her, and the prince's brother took care of her, in the entire palace, the most beloved her belonged to her father and the prince's brother, every time she was bullied, it was the prince's brother who protected her, she always remembered that spring breeze afternoon, she was carried by the palace maid to find her father and queen mother, crying and complaining, the father and queen mother were furious, and ordered the prince's brother to severely punish those dog slaves.

I remember the scene vividly. She still clearly remembered that the prince's brother held her hand and comforted her softly: "Sister is good, my brother will deal with these and avenge you, don't cry, don't cry......

Chu Wanxiang gathered her thoughts and smiled at the mirror.

"Princess, your hairpin has fallen off." Ruby fingers

The pearl hairpin on her ear.

"Thank you." Chu Wanxiang picked up the hairpin and inserted it into her sideburns and looked at Chu Duyun.

"Looks good, suits you perfectly." Chu Duyun smiled appreciatively, "This palace will go back to the post house first to pack up and salute, and someone will notify you later."

"Okay." Chu Duyun left, and Chu Wanxiang instructed Qing Dai to fetch pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, spread out the rice paper, and began to write letters.

Chu Mohan finished bathing and entered the house after getting dressed neatly. Chu Wanxiang had already written the letter and put it on the table. Chu Mohan walked over and picked up the letter paper and glanced at it, there was a line of juanxiu handwriting in the lower right corner of the envelope: Xianggong, please allow Wanxiang to make decisions without authorization, take five days off, Wanxiang wants to go out to do errands, I hope Xianggong understands.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Mohan put down the letter and frowned.

"Xianggong doesn't want me to go out?" Chu Wanxiang raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"What do you want to do?"

"Xianggong should have guessed it." Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly, "I'm going to see someone, and I'll be back soon."

"Which country's envoy?" Chu Mohan's eyes flashed.

"It's not." Chu Wanxiang shook her head.

"Who's that?"

"My friend."

"Friends?" Chu Mohan twisted his eyebrows.

Chu Wanxiang stuffed the letter into his arms and stood up: "Okay, I'm going to eat, otherwise I won't feel comfortable hungry."

Chu Mohan looked at her slender back, and his brows still didn't loosen.

After lunch, Chu Duyun asked Chu Wanxiang to go to the study, and the two talked about the route back to Beijing, Chu Duyun said, "This road is to the border, not to Beiyan."

Chu Wanxiang was stunned: "Then go to Beidi?"

Chu Duyun nodded: "The envoy of the Beidi Kingdom has already arrived and is resting in the post house. You and the imperial sister-in-law will also go together, you and the imperial sister-in-law will ride in a car, and the palace will ride a horse."

"How can this be done, and what if there is danger?" Chu Wanxiang was surprised.

"It's okay, the palace has brought enough guards, besides, the Beidi mission has also brought a hundred elite soldiers, you can rest assured." Chu Duyun's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be worried about the danger at all.

"But ......" Chu Wanxiang was still a little hesitant, she didn't want Chu Duyun to be in any danger.

"Third brother and sister, don't worry." Chu Duyun said, "If there is a sudden situation, the palace will let the guards protect itself."

Chu Wanxiang bit her lip: "Then listen to the eldest brother."

Chu Mohan bowed: "Well, go and prepare, in an hour, let's go."

Chu Wanxiang agreed to retreat.

An hour later, Chu Wanxiang and Liu got on the sedan chair, left the palace with Chu Duyun's team, and rushed out of the city to the post house where the Beidi envoys were stationed.

The post house is about more than 20 miles away from the Northern Yan Emperor's capital, and Chu Duyun rode a horse and led the team to the post house.

Arriving at the post house, Chu Duyun turned over and dismounted, and walked in with the reins. The guards in the post house knelt down and saluted, their attitude respectful, but not humble.

Chu Duyun walked towards the hall of the post house, where a group of people had already gathered and were discussing hotly. Seeing Chu Duyun coming, everyone stopped talking and saluted one after another.
