The next day, Chu Yue led the retinue back to the palace. She didn't want to disturb the crowd, so she led people into the palace quietly. On the third day, she conveyed the message to the palace, and Chu Heng sent the eunuch You Shun and the commander of the guards to greet them at the palace gate in person. Escort her.
You Shun saluted Chu Yue, "Princess, your Majesty is still discussing political affairs with the ministers in the imperial study. Your Majesty asked the old slave to welcome you to Zichen Palace."
Chu Yue waved her hand, "That's it."
Zichen Palace remained exactly the same as when she left, clean and tidy, fresh and fragrant inside, and the things she used on daily basis were kept as usual.
The rouge box, jade comb with dragon and phoenix patterns, jewelry box, etc. on the dressing table are all as they were when she left.
She sighed and sat in front of the dressing table, thinking about how she should tell Chu Heng.
After a while, Chu Heng's figure appeared in the mirror, his face full of joy, "Yue'er, if you don't come back, my second brother will have to take you back."
He stepped forward quickly. Chu Yue quickly stood up to salute, but he supported her first and said with a smile: "Let me see if I have lost weight."
Chu Yue laughed, "You will lose weight wherever you go, but it only lasts a few days, and Master Shen's hospitality is very good and he is very dedicated."
Chu Heng held her hand and sat on the couch to talk.
At this time, a young eunuch came outside to report the matter. He frowned, and You Shun immediately quietly went down and scolded: "It's so unruly."
The young eunuch said: "The King of Nanliang and the Grand Princess would like to meet with Your Majesty."
You Shun understood the seriousness and waved his hand, "I understand. Our family will tell His Majesty."
Chu Yue heard the voice and asked: "Eunuch You, what happened? Why didn't you report it?"
You Shun felt grateful and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to say, "Reply to Your Majesty and Princess, the King of Nanliang and the eldest princess ask to see Your Majesty."
Chu Heng snorted, "No."
Chu Yue smiled slightly, "Why is the second brother so angry?"
The King of Nanliang was the late emperor's biological brother, and the eldest princess was also his biological sister. All the late emperor's brothers had long been killed or injured in the cruel struggle in the palace.
The King of Nanliang and the eldest princess were solid allies of the late emperor at that time, so the late emperor took them very seriously and gave them fiefdoms and privileges, and also allowed them to raise troops.
Chu Heng overthrew his eldest brother and replaced him. This was the result of a palace fight. The King of Nanliang and the eldest princess were dissatisfied because he did not inform him.
This time he probably came to force Chu Heng to express his stance.
