In the huge harem, an uninvited guest came.

Emperor Chu dragged it hard, and even if Chen Chao didn't want to go anymore, there was nothing he could do.

On the way, the palace maids and eunuchs retreated to the sides, bowed their heads and knelt down, and automatically avoided.

After the two big men walked away, they dared to raise their heads, take a look from a distance, and then talk about it.

Soon, under the leadership of the Chu Emperor, the Chen Dynasty came to a pavilion with high ground and unique scenery.

This place is close to the Imperial Garden, and you can see a huge lake in the distance, and there are scattered small snowflakes in the sky, a haze....

Outside the gazebo, a girl in a red dress stood.

The girl looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was extremely beautiful and beautiful, her eyes were big, her nose was small, and when Chen Chao and Emperor Chu arrived, the girl bit her lower lip slightly, staring at Chen Chao with shyness, and her eyes never took her eyes off him.

"This is my sixteenth daughter, Princess Lingke, who worships Chen Xiang the most, and when she heard that you were coming, she begged me to see you." Emperor Chu introduced the identity of the girl in the red dress.

When Princess Lingke saw the arrival of the Chen Dynasty, she saluted: "I've seen Chen Xiang." ”

Chen Chao nodded and smiled, and bowed his chin to sign.

"Come in, a few glasses of thin wine, warm up, don't say, it's really a little cold today." Emperor Chu smiled and led the two into the pavilion.

A thick blanket was spread on the ground of the pavilion, and there were exquisite dishes and fine wines on the table.

After sitting down, Princess Lingke blinked her big smart eyes, and she didn't care about the rules, so she took the initiative to sit next to Chen Chao, wanting to be closer to him.

Emperor Chu shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything.

"Today is a private banquet, there are not so many rules, all more casual." Emperor Chu smiled and spoke.

He always put a smile on that fat face, and said that if he didn't hit a smiling person, it was difficult for people to hate such a Chu Emperor.

With Emperor Chu's words, Chen Chao relaxed a lot, and Princess Lingke personally poured wine for Chen Chao by his side.

This treatment, placed in the Chu State, is the only one in the Chen Dynasty!

After a few glasses with Chen Chao and two mouthfuls of food, Emperor Chu picked up the wine jug on the table and opened the conversation: "I heard that this Nanshan pure brew was made by my brother?" This wine is not ordinary, good wine! ”

As soon as the title of "brother" came out, Chen Chao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, looked up at the fat man on the opposite side a few times, and thought that this fat man really did everything to win him over, and set up a private banquet in the harem to entertain himself, and asked his own daughter, Princess Lingke, to accompany him to pour wine, so he really wanted to stay in Chu State and be the prime minister for him?

If it was an ordinary person, seeing that the emperor of a country treated him so sincerely, he was afraid that he would respond to the invitation of the emperor of Chu and stay in the state of Chu.

But the Chen Dynasty is different, in Daji, the emperor exists in name only, and he still has to call him his father, Chen Dynasty is the boss, but if he comes to the Chu State, the Emperor of Chu will not call him his father.

Chen Chao was not accustomed to others being on his head and directing him to do things.

Therefore, no matter how sincere Emperor Chu was to keep him, the Chen Dynasty would eventually have to go back.

"That's right, I made it." Chen Chao replied with a smile very casually, Chen Chao is also good at watching people put down dishes.

After saying a few words to Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu smiled very happily, and he was affectionate with a brother, and this scene fell in the eyes of others, I am afraid that I will be shocked.

After that, the two chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was pleasant, as if they had found their respective confidants.

Princess Lingke was always taking care of Chen Chao by the side, and she interjected in her spare time and asked: "Chen Xiang has the name of a poet immortal, I heard that there are 100 poems in one night, but the poet immortal descends to earth, but I don't know if there are any new poems in the past so long, so that Lingke can read them?" ”

Hearing Princess Lingke beside him speak, Chen Chao tilted his head, knowing that he had inadvertently gained another little fan girl.

Not to mention, there is a poem name, which is particularly easy to use in ancient times.....

Chen Chao replied with a smile: "The princess is falsely praised, she has been very busy lately, and there are no new works, I'm afraid I will disappoint the princess." ”

Princess Lingke let out an "oh", her little eyebrows fell, slightly disappointed, but she soon became happy again, and was about to speak, when she saw that there was wine left on the corner of Chen Chao's lips, she had the courage to gently wipe it with her handkerchief, and her movements were gentle and affectionate.

Emperor Chu looked at it, shook his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart...... Alas, my good daughter, who has been raised for more than ten years, has never treated me like this, how can I see Chen Chao.....

Chen Chao was slightly surprised, hurriedly stopped it, and stood up.

Princess Lingke also knew that she was too anxious, so she hurriedly withdrew her little hand, looking a little embarrassed, and got up and said to Emperor Chu Fufu: "Father, Lingke go down and change clothes." ”

"Go ahead."

Emperor Chu waved his hand at her.

Ling Ke looked shy, nodded to Chen Chao, and then left the pavilion step by step.

After Lingke left, Emperor Chu asked, "Brother, what do you think of my daughter?" ”

Chen Chao smiled awkwardly: "The princess has a beautiful national appearance, has a sinking fish and geese, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and her personality is quiet and elegant, very good." ”

"What about marrying my brother?"

"Ahem!"

Chen Chao couldn't help coughing twice and was choked.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu smiled, held his big belly and looked at Chen Chaodao:

"Brother, I'm telling the truth, as the saying goes, a woman doesn't stay, and Lingke has always admired her brother, if your brother thinks it's okay, let's settle this matter today!"

Chen Chao understood, this fat man not only wanted to keep himself as the prime minister in Chu State and be a cow and horse for him, but also wanted to keep himself as his son-in-law!

This wishful thinking is really loud!

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is too urgent, no, no..... Besides, the minister already has a family, although the minister's wife is not as good as the princess, but the wife of the chaff, but she has accompanied the minister for many years, and the minister is a person who misses the old. Chen Chao said again: "So please forgive Your Majesty, Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated." ”

Emperor Chu was a little embarrassed, slowly frowned, and said, "In this way, that's me.... It's just that Lingke is stubborn, if you know, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Chu didn't continue, Lingke grew up beside him since he was a child, he knew Lingke's temperament very well, if he knew that Chen Chao was unwilling to marry her, and he would not know if he did martyrdom.

It's a bit tricky.

After thinking about it, but didn't come up with a solution, Emperor Chu drank a glass of wine and shook his head: "That's it, don't talk about this." ”

As soon as the words changed, Emperor Chu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Chaodao: "Brother, there is something that I have to ask you for as a brother, and I hope you must agree." ”

Looking at Emperor Chu's serious appearance, Chen Chao understood in his heart..... It's time to come, it's late.

Eating, drinking, chatting, and talking about Princess Lingke are all foreplay, and it doesn't matter.

Waiting for Chen Chao's to be here.

As he spoke, Emperor Chu stood up, walked to the pavilion, looked at the beautiful snow scene outside the pavilion, and said:

"I sincerely invite my brother to Chu as a minister, I don't know what my brother thinks?"

Silent!

Deathly silence!

Chen Chao was still sitting, his eyes staring at the dishes on the table that hadn't moved much, and he had drunk a lot of wine.

Time stops at this moment.

The palace maids waiting outside the pavilion were shivering from the cold, and a layer of snow fell on their heads and shoulders, even on their eyebrows....

It was as if the small snowflakes that were falling also stopped at this moment, quietly suspended in the air.

I don't know how long it took, time passed again, and the snowflakes began to fall!

Chen Chao's eyes were deep, he shook his head slightly, stood up, and looked deeply at the back of Emperor Chu, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Emperor Chu raising his hand.

"Brother is not busy agreeing, I have a message here, it has just come from the capital of Daji, and it is not too late for my brother to make a choice after reading it."

Chen Chao raised his head and followed what Emperor Chu pointed to, and saw an envelope that had always existed on the table, but had been ignored.

Chen Chao picked up the envelope and tore it open:

I saw that this was a crusade against the text, on which nearly 100 words were written, recording the evidence that the Chen Dynasty had formed a party for personal gain and disrupted the country in Daji over the years, and the last few words were:

"If you mislead the country, everyone will be punished!"
