Chapter 57

Empress Fu saw it, her phoenix eyes flashed slightly, her smile was as light as a peony but graceful and luxurious: "Yan'er is an outstanding child, she treats people very well, and has skills, but I don't know who is so lucky to marry her." She comes in."

Everyone fell silent.The marriage of the daughter of an important minister has always been a major political event, let alone the only female general in Great Chu?When Empress Fu mentioned it so lightly, interested people began to speculate, and even some people were so anxious that they wanted to jump up from their seats.

Chu Li's originally stable heart couldn't help but stop. He had understood the word political marriage when he was very young, but now when he really understands it, he has many difficulties.For a moment, my heart was in a mess.

Empress Fu ignored everyone's stares and continued: "Your Majesty, the female university is about to get married. Do you remember that Yan'er is eighteen years old? If you don't get married again, it will be a bit against the norms. Why don't you give Yan'er today?" If the emperor bestows a marriage, isn't there a double happiness in Gu Xiang's mansion?"

The hall became quiet again, and Empress Fu smiled and said, "Xiao'er, Li'er, it's not that the queen mother said that you have passed the age of weak crowns, so how can you not have a wife and family? My great Chu country will last forever, and the blood is passed down. You don’t understand, do you? And Mu’er, it’s the same.”

There was a wry smile on Chu Xiao's lips, but when he looked up, he had already recovered his indifference: "Everything is up to the emperor." What the queen mother wanted to hear was just this sentence.

Chu Li also laughed, but the purple pupils were deep, and he couldn't see his true emotions clearly: "The empress mother is right." He never confronted her directly.

But Chu Mu didn't care, his peach blossom eyes were already drunk, and he spoke rudely: "The empress first arranges the marriage between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Li Wang. As for Xiao Wang, let's talk about it after a few more years of being romantic and happy."

As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't feel the slightest discomfort, as if he was born to be so rebellious.

The corner of Empress Fu's mouth twitched, apparently not paying attention to his words, she looked at Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Emperor Chu held Concubine Ling's hand, still smiling all over his face, he nodded, and laughed loudly: "In a flash, these children have grown up, and I'm old too, yes, it's time to get married, I I also want to hug my grandson."

All the ministers listened quietly, and were wondering how the Emperor Chu would assign them. Unexpectedly, the Emperor Chu suddenly changed the subject: "It's just that the marriage between the children should be decided by themselves, and I don't want to mess with the mandarin ducks." Spectrum! The prince’s big wedding is just like ordinary people. The husband and wife have to face each other for dozens of years. If I choose the wrong candidate, won’t I miss the marriage for a lifetime? Not good, not good! Haha...it’s heaven There is an old man who specially pulls the red thread, does the queen think that I also have the red thread?"

With a completely joking tone, the smile on Fu Wanying's face froze. She didn't want to laugh but she still had to laugh: "Your Majesty is right, let them choose their own marriages, and when the choice is made, it will not be too late for His Majesty to grant a marriage."

"There is no need to give a marriage." Chu Huang put his arms around Concubine Ling, and said with a smile: "Xiao Er, Li Er, which girl do you like, you can propose marriage by yourself. If the girl's parents agree, plus the help of the matchmaker So, I don't have any opinion, just choose a date to get married."

The ministers sighed for a while, but then they all complimented Emperor Chu's wisdom.The parties were all disturbed.

Chu Xiao drank quietly, listening to the musician's melody, her brows were slightly furrowed, there was a tune that was wrong, and it has always been wrong. If she is happy, she must be able to hear it, and she must be able to make up for it. His melody for Plum Blossom Three Lanes has been composed I want to play it to her.

Chu Li's heart is in a mess. These days, he may have been trapped by tenderness. He has forgotten many things, and his heart has been disturbed and happy by her all day long. Now, Fu Wanying's mind is so clear, how could he not know Woolen cloth?Turning her head slightly, she looked at the woman in white beside her, her eyes were also looking at him...

Without dodging, Gu Yanyan smiled slightly, held up the wine bottle and respected him.

Not knowing what was going on in his heart, Chu Li picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, and the woman in front of him was also quite generous, not leaving a single drop of wine.Putting down the wine bottle, Chu Li exhaled lightly, Xiao Qiao can't drink, she will get drunk when she drinks.

Gu Yuyan felt happy in her heart, and smiled to herself while looking at the wine bottle.Chu Li is not a fool, he must know who he should propose marriage to if he gets married.Fu Wanying is naturally not a fool, but since the Emperor Chu said to choose by herself, then her choice is only Chu Li from the beginning to the end, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.As long as Chu Li's betrothal gift goes to Gu Xiangfu, then her five years of hard work will not be in vain, and it can only be regarded as her wish fulfilled.

Slanting her phoenix eyes at Ling Wanshu who was not far away, Gu Yanyan smiled, meaning nothing, not even contempt.The delicate cousin born to her little aunt, apart from being the number one talented woman in Chudu, is actually an elm-headed girl, and she, Gu Yanyan, never took her seriously.How can a young lady who can only look at appearances and act coquettishly be worthy of her Chu Li?

The banquet in the hall continued, with endless laughter and laughter, whether it was entertainment or perfunctory, at least on the surface it seemed to be enjoyable.Chu Mu sat next to Prince Chu Xiao, raised his eyes to look at Chu Li who was diagonally opposite, and felt a little worried in his heart, naturally not because of Chu Li, but because of that little thing who didn't know what to do.

Regardless of the considerations, if Chu Li wants to survive and seize the lifeline of politics, it is impossible for him to marry a little girl who has no status or status.Even if she is the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion, she will not help Chu Li at all.Not only that, but it would even bring Chu Li an unprecedented laughingstock.

If you are in such a dilemma, Chu Li, what should you do?

Chu Mu smiled indifferently, what does this have to do with him?What kind of plans any of them have has nothing to do with him, and it doesn't even matter whether he comes to such a banquet or not.Chu Mu raised his head and glanced at Emperor Chu. The very familiar face with a kind smile was completely different from his father's sarcastic remarks in his memory.

However, such a kind person is the most difficult to see through, right?
Emperor Chu is like this, he does everything just right, and never deliberately takes sides——

If you don't refer to marriage, then no one will offend you; if you make a prince, you can balance the power disputes in the court; if you sit firmly like a mountain, when everyone is exhausted trying to guess his intentions, he unexpectedly makes unexpected things. Decide.

This is the emperor.

The wine in the glass was clear, and Chu Mu drank a little too much, only to feel that his head started to hurt again, throbbing and throbbing, it was useless to shake his head, and it was useless to close his eyes. At such a painful moment, he missed those pair of eyes more and more. The gentle hand, or, the drug that can paralyze the nerves in the dark compartment.

After the banquet hosted by Empress Fu, everything seemed to be calm, but in fact, an undercurrent surged, and various forces were ready to move.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Qiao Ye. The vicissitudes of Chudu were too great for her. She never even paid attention to power and disputes. Because she didn't understand, she didn't care.On the other hand, no one has mentioned it to her, and she naturally has no way of knowing about any political changes, so she is still stuck in her own small world, completely unaware of it.

What bothers her is nothing but Chu Mu. No matter if she treats a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, she always feels that Chu Mu will do something to torture her.He always liked to threaten her and persecute her. Although such torture, persecution, and threats often ended without a problem, she still couldn't trust him.

However, it is undeniable that because of him, life in Shizhuyuan suddenly became easier. No matter what Ling Xiang's idea was, her and mother's food became better, and it was no longer rough rice that was hard to swallow. , at least the problem of food and clothing can be solved.

Even so, Qiao Ye refused to accept such a change, and she would still purchase food from outside regularly for every meal. If those vicious women in the front yard suddenly thought of something...

It's better to be on guard against them. She found another house outside. This time she was very careful, so no one would have noticed.It only takes one chance, and she will escape with her mother.

What is this timing?When will you be able to get rid of everyone's eyes?Now because of Chu Mu, Prime Minister Ling or the people in the front yard will check in the backyard from time to time, and it is difficult for her to even leave the house.Therefore, she hated Chu Mu even more.

But Seventh Brother said that she was going to go out for a few days, so she didn't have to go to him, and "No Beauty in the World" was taking care of her, so she was not in a hurry to go out, and she just waited for Chu Mu to settle the score.

After waiting for several days, there was no sign of Chu Mu.I'm afraid he hates her, so he has no interest, right?It's like this every time, making her anxious, but he is calm and calm.

Qiao Ye was bored, and often went to see those carnations in the courtyard, and the smell of caged birds, it was really uncomfortable.

Just when she was about to give up waiting, she saw Chu Mu—he was standing on the wall of the Shizhu courtyard, looking down at her.

Qiao Ye backed away in fright, and bumped her back against a big rock. She turned her head and saw that Chu Mu's jade pendant was buried under the rock. When she saw it, she remembered the festival between them.She brushed the messy hair off her face and looked up at him: "You, why are you here?" Instead of going through the front door, you actually jumped over the wall?

Chu Mu stood there with his hands behind his back, watching her silent, his amber pupils were a little cold, but only for a moment, he raised his smiling face and waved to her: "Little hedgehog, do you want to go out? Huh?" The voice was unbelievably soft.

Qiao Ye was surprised and bit her lip. He guessed it right, but she didn't want to admit it: "No. You don't want to harm me! You must want me to go out and sue me in front of Ling Zongwu."

"Oh, really don't want to?" Chu Mu showed a regretful expression on his face, "I wanted to take you out to play, but now it seems that the young master is really self-indulgent. Then, I'm leaving!"
