"Is there such a thing?" Chu Bu She's mouth twitched, "Maybe you are overthinking it?"

"No, my mother used to be indifferent to my father, and she would usually respond to him with 'oh' or 'hmm'. But last time, if you hadn't held her on the closet like you did, she wouldn't have said a word."

Does she dare to say anything?

Prince Yuenan is peeping outside, and you are planning to come out of the closet. Princess Yu has to endure it no matter what...

Chu Bu She found it difficult to explain, so he simply followed Jin Se's advice.

As luck would have it, the maid knocked on the door:

"Princess, the princess said you have slept for the whole afternoon. It's time to get up and have dinner."

Jinse rubbed her face in Chu Bushe's arms and replied:

"Got it. Tell mother that I'll be there in a moment."

The maid's footsteps disappeared outside the door.

Jinse got up and put on her clothes. After tidying up her dress, she hurried over to see how Chu Bushe was getting dressed.

She carefully noted down the order in which the man was dressed, apparently intending to help him dress next time.

"Come on, I'll take you to mother's place. She doesn't like maids to serve her when she eats, and no one else does."

After hearing Jinse say this, Chu Bushe realized that many of the maids around Princess Yu were probably Concubine Yin's people.

It's time to avoid it.

So, Chu Bu She avoided the eyes and ears of the maids, and directly carried the princess across the roof and into the boudoir of Princess Yu Ruojun.

Although Jinse was practicing cultivation, her practice was more like the quick-fix method among the children of the royal family. She sought guidance from a famous female master for a while, stopped when she made some initial achievements, and no longer spent time on improving herself, purely for the sake of having a good "resume".

Therefore, she had never run on the roof of her house. When Chu Bushe carried her and let her climb the walls, she laughed so excitedly.

If he hadn't been afraid of being discovered by the maid, he would probably have suppressed his cheerful laughter.

......

In the boudoir.

The plump and graceful Princess Yu stood by the window. The orange-red sunset had faded, but the scorching heat had not yet dissipated.

In an ordinary wealthy family, there would often be maids standing by, fanning their masters with palm-leaf fans to help them enjoy the cool air.

But Princess Yu liked quietness, so naturally her sweat soaked through her gauze palace skirt. She was already very fluid, and now beads of sweat even accumulated on her collarbone.

Suddenly, her eyes blurred and Chu Bu She appeared in front of the window holding Jin Se, who was smiling.

He had not practiced any light kung fu, but his lower body kung fu was steady. He stood firmly on the windowsill as if he had taken root on the ground. His handsome face caught Yu Ruojun's eyes from a close distance.

The beautiful and sophisticated princess was shocked. After she reacted, her face turned stern.

"Why are you here?" she asked coldly without any sign of familiarity.

"The person I called here just happened to have something to ask you, mother!"

Jinse protected her lover, her hands tightly around his neck.

Princess Yu didn't know what to say, and she was also afraid that if they "confronted" on the windowsill for too long, the maid would see them and cause misunderstanding on the part of Concubine Yin.

Without any further obstruction, she let Chu Bushe enter the room and sit in Jinse's seat.

Unlike her daughter, Princess Yu is a person who never relaxes about her appearance even when she is alone in her room.

Her clothes were modest and appropriate, but this also made her feel hot and sweaty.

On the cushion where she sat, there was a moist peach mark. Judging from the outline, it was round and smooth. It was hard to imagine that this beauty who had given birth naturally had a waist as slender as her daughter's.

"Open your mouth, ah~ no meat!"

Jinse picked up some food for her lover. While Chu Bushe was responding to the princess, he also took advantage of the leisure time at the dinner table to ask Princess Yu about the doubts in his heart.

"Is this incident related to Concubine Yin?"

"Maybe not, because Concubine Yin is not likely to get involved with merchants. She thinks that merchants are there to be used, not to be partners..."

Chu Bushe looked directly into the beautiful princess's eyes and asked:

"'Probably not', does that mean it could be related?"

Princess Yu really didn't want to say anything absolute. Chu Bu She had shown such obvious intentions to dominate, so it was not surprising that Concubine Yin would use some means to deal with him.

But Princess Yu was a straightforward person, and she really didn't want to be caught between her two benefactors.

Even though Chu Bushe was a bad guy, he still helped her and Jinse.

Both sides are her benefactors, and she doesn't want to make things difficult for them.

Princess Yu gritted her teeth and said:

"Prince Rong, don't be so hypocritical. I will be going to the palace to meet with Concubine Yin in a few days. Just tell me your true purpose and I will convey it to you, okay?"

Before Chu Bu She could say anything, Jin Se snorted:

"Mother, don't be cruel to him!"

“…”Princess Yu.

Girl, why are you so crooked?

Chu Bu She comforted Jin Se, and then said to Princess Yu:

"Ahem...real intentions or something, I really don't want to take back the ownership of the two states of Jing and Chu, but can you tell me who is behind Xu Lishu this time?"

"I would say it's Queen Mi."

Chapter 34 Jinse: My mother really wants to eat young grass!

"How much can I trust you, Princess?"

Chu Bushe still knew the relationship between Concubine Yin and Queen Mi.

Princess Yu poured water on Queen Mi, and when Chu Bushe saw it, it seemed like she was trying to provoke a fight.

The mature and beautiful princess gave Chu Bushe a look. Even though her expression was not friendly, the beauty's posture and emotions could always create her own charm, making it difficult for people to get disgusted with her.

She replied bluntly:

"If you ask me this, I will naturally help Concubine Yin to leave. Even if I really know who it is, I will still say it is Queen Mi."

"It's frank and honest."

Chu Bu She was a little surprised.

Even though Princess Yu gave people the impression that she was worried about something, she did not act like an old fox when it came to certain issues.

In fact, she should be quite disgusted with that mysterious style of doing things.

After several contacts with Princess Yu, Chu Bushe's understanding of her gradually became clearer. Jinse's sincere character, who didn't like to beat around the bush, was probably learned from her mother.

They may hide things, but they will never play political games.

"Don't talk in this atmosphere~ I don't like it, the food will become inedible!"

Jinse suddenly interrupted and, pouting her lips, picked up some food for Chu Bushe. But after thinking for a moment, she decided not to ignore her mother, so she also picked up some food for him.

When Princess Yu saw Jinse's intimacy with Chu Bushe, she felt exhausted and worried that Chu Bushe might go too far with her.

But I think this worry is unnecessary. Chu Bushe is obviously not the kind of person who would throw away his skills for a woman.

I guess he was pulled here by Jinse to chat, and then he climbed over the eaves and walls to get some fresh air.

"Jinse, Prince Rong wants to know who wants to send experts to attack him. Are you not worried about his safety?"

Ginger is still spicier when it’s old, and peaches are still juicy when they’re ripe.

Princess Yu's words made Jinse unable to respond. She wanted to explain but couldn't, so she could only glare at her mother in protest.

"You misinterpreted me!"

"Don't be angry, this is just a joke from the princess, I won't take it seriously."

Chu Bushe comforted her. He poked the girl's pink cheek, and Jinse just smiled, with her dimple just pinching his fingertips.

"Besides, we didn't have a tense conversation. It's just that this matter is very serious and it's hard to talk about it casually."

"Oh...then stop talking and eat something."

"Okay~!"

Chu Bushe followed the girl's kindness and picked up his chopsticks to eat some dishes.

The mother and daughter now eat separately because they have small appetites, otherwise they can't finish more than a few bites of the food on the table.

Chu Bushe, the "uninvited guest", was unable to join the dinner with a pair of chopsticks and could only eat from Jinse's plate.

After taking just two bites of the food, Chu Bu She returned the chopsticks to Jin Se so as not to snatch her already small portion of food.

After realizing that Princess Yu was not the kind of woman who was good at calculating and scheming, Chu Bushe stopped being so pretentious.

He shrugged his back, relaxed his sitting posture, and asked:

"If it's not the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, is there another third party hostile to me? Who are they? Do you have any news?"

Chu Bushe grew up in the yellow sand desert, the scorching sun, the camel bells, and the hot belly dance of dancers. Naturally, he hates the intrigues at the wine table.

But now that you have come to the Great Zhou, you have to learn the ways of the world. Sometimes you have to be polite, otherwise others won't talk to you nicely.

"The one with the greatest hostility is the Second Prince. He has the best chance of becoming the crown prince, and he has the most supporters among the ministers. If we ignore the Second Phoenix in the court, the Second Prince is the most favorable competitor."

"How come I heard that the emperor has only been on the throne for a few years and already has a second prince?"

Chu Bushe has had less contact with them in the six months since he came to the capital.

He was indeed concentrating on waiting for a reply from above and had little contact with the various parties in the capital, but it can also be understood that he did not intend to get involved with too many people.

If you're not interested in this, then what's the point of knowing so many people?

Princess Yu sighed unhappily:

"How can an emperor prepare for an heir only after he ascends the throne? Besides, the current emperor was quite old when he ascended the throne... and I heard that another person appeared in the capital, so the second prince will probably feel pressured."

"Is it so lively? Who is it?"

Chu Bushe left the capital and took a walk around the suburbs. He saw smoke rising from the sky, the towns and villages were dilapidated and abandoned, and the population was sparse. Most of the people had moved to more stable places.

Just by looking at the situation in this corner, one can get a sense of the current state of the country in the Great Zhou.

He really couldn't empathize. What was there to fight for in this place?

"The mother of the princess of the previous emperor's generation was originally the Saintess of Lingyun Sword Pavilion, and later became the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, the previous emperor fell in love with his new love, and the Queen Mother Yi was a man of the world, so she immediately took her daughter away to the Western Regions.

There is news that Queen Mother Yi's daughter has returned to the Great Zhou."

Hearing this, Chu Bu She's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the bandage on his hand and asked delicately:

"So this princess takes her mother's surname, Yi?"

"Most likely, but he has an alias anyway, so his last name could be anything."

No wonder Yi Yihan was reluctant to reveal her whereabouts. It was not only because of the hidden nature of Yuhua Pavilion, but also because of her sensitive identity as the previous emperor's daughter.

When Yi Yihan returned to the Great Zhou, not to mention that she had a legitimate status in terms of bloodline, the power behind her was extraordinary.

Yuhua Pavilion as an intelligence and financial institution, and Jiange as a sect with military force and connections.

Therefore, when Zhang Lanqi was called to attack him, he thought he was in the same group as Yi Yihan!

Moreover, Empress Dowager Yi's activities happened to be in the Western Regions.

It is even possible that Chu Bushe could be considered a loyal minister of Queen Mother Yi...

I just massaged Yi Yihan's feet!

Chu Bu She seemed to understand why Yi Yi Han, who was so aloof, had a good impression of him, or was willing to take the initiative to contact him.

I'm afraid Yi Yihan also thought that he looked like a "rebel" and was an object that could be won over.

Chu Bushe suddenly felt tired and melancholy without saying a word.

"How could such a thing happen..."

Princess Yu didn't know what he was thinking, but she had already said what she wanted to say.

She pushed her portion of the dish in front of Chu Bushe and motioned for him to eat it.
