Chapter 21 Xiao Jingyu
Ling Munan wore a light pink palace skirt, slowly took a few steps forward, and bowed slightly, "Xiao Jiu has seen His Highness Ning."
Chu Yu leaned over and signaled, "Your Highness, Princess Ninth, the post station has been packed long ago. You two come from afar, please rest first. If you have any questions, please send someone to notify me at any time."
Chu Yu took Ling Mubei and Ling Munan to the post station, ordered the maids to serve them well, and then left.
"Xiaojiu, what do you think of His Highness Ning?"
Ling Munan looked at Chu Yu's leaving figure, "His Highness Ning spoke extraordinaryly and would do something in the future."
Ling Mubei listened to Ling Munan's evaluation and played with the jade pendant in his hand, "What if he chose King Ning as Xiaojiu's husband? There is no concubine in the Prince Ning's mansion."
Ling Munan chuckled, "The second brother is joking about Xiaojiu again. How can Xiaojiu make the decision on Xiaojiu's marriage? Xiaojiu just wants to see who the sacred woman can make the second brother fall in love with."
When he thought of Chu Nian, Ling Mubei's eyes were filled with smiles, "I'll see you." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his room. He took out a jade hairpin from his sleeve and murmured, "Chu Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian Nian."
Subsequently, the Crown Prince Qin Molin of Western Qin and the Crown Princess Chu Yan, the third princess of Southern Chu, came to the capital. Before Chu Yan married into Western Qin, a party led by the Ming Dynasty had been provoking war on the border between Western Qin and Southern Chu. Chu Yu's uncle, Prince Zhong, died in the battlefield in that war, so it was a bit inappropriate to ask Chu Yu to pick up the envoys of Western Qin.
Although Chu Heng did not like Western Qin, and Prince Zhong was also Lin Qingwan's uncle, he still welcomed the envoys of Western Qin for Chu Yu, and both sides were the princes of the country, and their status was quite similar.
"Three sisters, third brother-in-law." Chu Yan is older than Chu Heng. Chu Heng's name not only matches the elders but also brings closer connections between the two countries.
"Aheng? I haven't seen each other for four years, and my fourth brother has become more handsome."
Chu Yan was very happy to see Chu Heng. Although their siblings were not from the same mother, they were also very close, not only because Chu Heng was very nice to her, but also because Chu Yan had always had a crush on Chu Heng's cousin Ye Nanxun.
Chu Heng knew about this, so when the emperor issued an order to send Chu Yan to marry, Chu Heng tried his best to stop him. The emperor was furious and Chu Heng refused to retreat. Finally, Chu Yan came forward and voluntarily married to Xiqin. She knew that it was impossible between her and Ye Nanxun.
Chu Yan came forward and Chu Heng stopped mentioning this matter to the emperor. Later, Chu Heng personally escorted Chu Yan to Xi Qin. He had inquired about Chu Yan about the prince of Xi Qin at that time and was very worried, but now it seems that their relationship seems to be good.
"Yan'er, it's getting late, let me take us to the inn," Qin Molin didn't want to disturb their brothers' reminiscing, but as the prince, he had to consider the feelings of those followers. They were still tired when they came all the way, let alone those attendants carrying gifts?
"Everyone has worked hard all the way. I am not considering it carefully. Please forgive me. Everyone, please do not want to do it here."
Chu Heng brought the envoy of the Western Qin to the post station, and then reminisces with Qin Molin and Chu Yan.
"Fourth brother, look at the letter written in the ninth brother's letter. Have you not chosen the Crown Princess again in recent years?"
Although Chu Yu did not want to meet the people from Western Qin, he sometimes had letters with Chu Yan.
Chu Heng remained silent, which was considered a default.
"Aheng, you are talented and have the world in mind. Why are you so hesitant about your relationship? Qing Wan has been gone for four years, and it's time to let go. You still have great achievements. You need to consolidate your own power. I heard that Dong Ling sent the Ninth Princess to marry him this time. If you can get Dong Ling's support..."
Chu Heng interrupted Chu Yan, "The third sister doesn't need to persuade him anymore. The fourth brother once swore that the Crown Princess will always belong to Qingqing, so please forgive me."
Qin Molin listened on the side without saying a word. He had some understanding of Chu Heng. He had the talent to govern the country and considered the people in everything. But he was not suitable to be an emperor. An emperor could not favor, had weaknesses, and could not be bound by emotions. Qin Molin admitted that he had gradually fallen in love with Chu Yan in recent years. He could spoil her and love her. However, if Chu Yan had a conflict with his world and could only choose one of the two, he would give up her without hesitation. In his heart, this country was far more important than the personal relationship between his children, and the identity of Chu Yan in the south of Chu was more attractive than her.
"Sister, third brother-in-law, it's getting late, fourth brother-in-law, so I'll say goodbye first."
After Chu Heng finished speaking, he left the inn and returned to the East Palace. After Chu Heng left, Qin Molin patted Chu Yan on the shoulder, "Yan'er, this matter can only be understood by himself. No matter how much you persuade him, it will be useless."
Yun Wange came to the room he had agreed with Yu Chen that night. She opened the window and waited silently.
About a stick of incense, Yu Chen appeared in front of Yun Wange, "What are the instructions of the master?"
Yun Wange poured a cup of tea for Yu Chen, "In recent days, envoys from various countries came to Nanchu one after another. According to the secret reports of spies in Beixiao, it was Yuwang's party. You sent someone to keep an eye on Beixiao's envoys group. Those who they have contacted in Nanchu must be recorded one by one, and none of them can be ignored."
The Jian'an Marquis Mansion has a close relationship with Bei Xiao. She investigated privately for nearly two years and only found some clues, but there was no conclusive evidence. For this emperor's birthday party, she believed that Jian'an Marquis and Bei Xiao would not miss this excellent opportunity to join forces, so she could only arrange for the Yuwei to inquire secretly. After all, the other party was so vigilant.
"Yu Chen understands, don't worry, master."
One day, the envoys of Beixiao finally arrived in the capital of Nanchu. This day was only one day after the emperor's birthday party. Beixiao has gained power in recent years. Emperor Beixiao has been old and has not yet enthroned the crown prince, but nearly 80% of the civil and military officials in the court are under the command of King Yu. Emperor Beixiao's health is becoming more and more worrying today. He has more sleeping hours and fewer awake hours. The government has long been in the hands of King Yu.
Although Yu Wang Xiao Jingyu is talented in governing the country, he is also ambitious and has coveted the ten cities in the north of southern Chu for a long time, and it means to tear up the border peace treaty.
When Chu Yu saw the envoy of Beixiao, he didn't expect that Xiao Jingyu would come to Nanchu in person, and the person around him was Chu Xun.
Chu Yu greeted him, "His Royal Highness Yu".
Xiao Jingyu did not know Chu Yu. He only knew that the prince of Southern Chu Chu Heng and King of Chu Xun were the most powerful competitors of the throne of Southern Chu. As for the others, he did not need to know them.
"King Yu, this is my ninth brother, Ning Wang Chuyu."
Xiao Jingyu did not look down on Chu Yu, he only responded to one sentence, "It turned out to be His Highness Ning."
Chu Yu is responsible for receiving the envoys, and it is really not suitable to have a dispute with Xiao Jingyu. Even if Xiao Jingyu's attitude is arrogant, he must endure it.
"I wonder why my brother was walking with His Highness Yu?"
