In the summer evening, the roar of the chaffinches passed through the dusk and circled in the sky, with the setting sun shining in the west.
Emperor Chu walked towards Ningxiang Palace with a melancholy look on his face, still thinking about Chen Qingzhi and Zhang Dingbian in his mind.
Both of them are rare generals, with tyrannical force and evil intelligence. They thought they could be summoned under their own command, but now they have made wedding clothes for others. Thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.
After walking a thousand meters, the outline of Ningxiang Palace appeared in his sight. Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him. Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and turned to look behind him.
"Um!"
"Why is there a child in the palace?"
Just when he was confused, the information transmitted by the system appeared in his mind. A strong look of astonishment instantly appeared on his face, and a shocked voice sounded.
"You are Tang Yin!"
Emperor Chu was so angry that the powerful general belonged to someone else. He forgot that he had also summoned a boy to accompany him to study. Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him turned out to be Tang Bohu.
The Tang Bohu in front of him looked to be about three years old, with a plump appearance, and he moved towards Emperor Chu.
"I've met the emperor!"
Tang Bohu said in a sweet voice. Emperor Chu was even more surprised and whispered in his heart: "This kid is really a prodigy. He is worthy of being summoned from the cute emperor's gift pack. He is really cute!"
Historically, Tang Yin, courtesy name Bohu, nicknamed Liuru Jushi, was the master of Taohua Temple, a painter, calligrapher, and poet in the Ming Dynasty. He had a rough life, and later traveled to famous mountains and rivers. He became famous all over the world for selling literary works and paintings, and was ranked as the first of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River.
Tang Bohu was elegant, talented, uninhibited, charming, and talented. Emperor Chu really couldn't accept the identity assigned to Tang Yin by the system. Is this asking him to experience the development of Tang Yin in another world?
"hug!"
Tang Yin staggered forward, and his childish voice sounded. Emperor Chu's face was filled with black smoke, and he murmured to himself: "I have never hugged my prince. Are you sure you are not sent by the system to prank him!"
Emperor Chu's fighting methods were fierce and ferocious, but facing such a little kid, he was really helpless.
Seeing Tang Yin's demanding look, two palace maids happened to be passing by in the distance, and Emperor Chu strode forward.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"You two go and carry him to Ningxiang Palace!"
Emperor Chu ordered, and the two female lotuses walked forward and held the three-year-old Tang Yin in their arms. Emperor Chu looked intently and saw the little girl with a squinted look on her face, staring at the towering peaks of the two palace maids.
"Is this a three-year-old child?"
Emperor Chu couldn't help but wonder if Tang Yin's coffin board could no longer hold it down, and he wanted to jump out to settle accounts with the system. This was simply an attempt to hack him without any limits.
The two palace ladies were so amused by the cute Tang that they couldn't stop laughing. But when they saw Emperor Chu not far from them, they still suppressed their laughter and got up and walked towards Ningxiang Palace.
Enter Ningxiang Palace.
Nangong Xi was playing with Chu Chen. Diao Chan, Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Zhaojun were all there. Suddenly, they saw Emperor Chu arriving and the four girls stood up to salute.
"My beloved, there is no need to be too polite. I have brought Chen'er a study boy, but this little one can be older than Chen'er."
Emperor Chu said as he turned around and motioned for the maid behind him to carry Tang Yin up. When the ladies saw Tang Yin in the maid's arms, they were instantly overflowing with motherly love, and they all stepped forward to hold him in their arms.
"Xi'er, this child will stay in Ningxiang Palace from now on and let him grow up with Chen'er. In a few years, I will find some masters for them and teach them some skills."
Hearing Emperor Chu's voice, the three women came to him with Tang Yin in their arms, all with questioning looks, as if they suspected that Tang Yin was the child he created outside the palace.
Seeing the three girls who were usually as gentle as water now looking as cold as frost, Emperor Chu smiled bitterly and glanced at Tang Yindao.
"His name is Tang Yin, and he is a child prodigy. I specially asked him to be a companion to Chen'er as a reading boy. Please stop thinking about it, my beloved concubines."
"Your Majesty is right, my name is Tang Yin, and I am a study companion. Sisters, please take care of me!"
Tang Yin, who was in Wang Zhaojun's arms, suddenly spoke, his childish voice sounded, and his eyes as clear as water passed over the girls.
"What a prodigy!"
All the girls were shocked, with joyful smiles on their faces. Emperor Chu chuckled lightly and said: "Tong Yanwuji, I will leave him to you."
Emperor Chu and Nangong Xi went to the inner hall. The two stayed with Chu Chen. He was less than a month old when he left the city. He did nothing but eat. However, Emperor Chu looked at him and his heart was still full of hope.
The moonlight is like water, and the night breeze is cool.
Emperor Chu left Ningxiang Palace and briefly stayed with Nangong Xi and Chu Chen for five hours, but it made him feel full of happiness. They said the emperor was ruthless and cruel, but Emperor Chu felt the warmth of home.
Suddenly he raised his head and saw the moonlight and starry sky. Emperor Chu stretched his arms, got up and walked towards Han Zhiyun's palace.
............
At dawn.
The world was dark, and the cold mountains in the distance were like dormant beasts, exuding vast and majestic pressure.
Emperor Chu walked out of Han Zhiyun's palace. He was going to summon the Mongolian envoys this morning. He got up and walked towards the Golden Palace without any pause.
Under the dim mist, hundreds of officials came to court and walked majestically from the Golden Palace on the long street. The Emperor of Chu had asked Xiao Guizi to convey the imperial edict and summon the Mongolian envoys.
An hour later.
News finally came from outside the Golden Palace that the Mongolian envoys had entered the palace. Xiao Guizi's thin voice sounded, and all the officials looked sideways at the entrance of the Golden Palace.
A few moments.
A Qi Haibie brought Wu Yuntail, Meng He and Chao Lu into the palace. The four of them bowed in greeting, and Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal them to sit down.
"The Mongolian envoy and the third princess came to the Chu Kingdom. My Chu State is really flourishing. I heard from officials that the princess came this time for marriage. I wonder if this is true?"
"Yes, I came here to establish good diplomatic relations with the Chu State. In order to show our sincerity, our Khan King allowed the three princesses and their relatives to enter the Chu Palace. However, after the Chu Emperor and the three princesses formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, they must call us Khan King.
As a father."
Wuyuntail knew the identity of Emperor Chu yesterday. He did not have the slightest fear of the aloof Emperor Chu. In A Qihai's words, Emperor Chu had been mythologized by the world and was not the ambitious emperor who wanted to rule the world as rumored.
"You came here to make peace, but you want Wu Chu to become your vassal. The Mongolian Khan has a very good plan!"
"I have never been short of women. Although the third princess is somewhat pretty, she is quite romantic and charming. She is not my type."
"I'm afraid the envoys' trip was wasted this time, but since you're here, I really can't let you come in vain."
"Come here, I will reward the Mongolian envoy with thousands of taels of gold, hundreds of fine horses, and hundreds of beauties. This is my congratulatory gift to your King Khan."
In the Golden Palace, Emperor Chu's voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears clearly. A Ci Haibie and the three envoys looked livid and angry. Emperor Chu's words were simply mocking them unscrupulously.
"Emperor Chu is a completely different person today than he was yesterday. It seems that he deliberately showed weakness yesterday just to ridicule us in the Golden Palace today."
A Qi Haibie was not angry, there was still a smile on his pretty face, a light questioning voice rang out, and his sideways eyes stayed on Emperor Chu. (To be continued)
