Zhao Cong immediately said: "Sister, Chai Xiandi asked you for help with something, so eldest brother has made his own decisions. Haha, don't be angry..."
"Good brother?" The Crown Princess was slightly startled and asked, "You are calling me brother and brother so soon?"
Zhao Cong said: "Sister, Brother Xian has saved me twice, what's wrong with calling me Brother Xian?"
The Crown Princess did not reply, but glanced at Chai Yan, who was as calm and indifferent as ever.
The Crown Princess withdrew her gaze, turned around and said to the maid: "Go out and wait."
The maid immediately responded and exited the side hall.
The Crown Princess walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, and then said to Chai Yan: "Chai Yan, if you have any requests, just ask me, and I will try my best to help you..."
The Crown Princess went home today not only to visit her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but also to ask her eldest brother to reward Chai Yan. Since Chai Yan was already standing in front of her, she might as well ask for it herself.
Chai Yan said: "Princess, I heard that five days later, the Prince's Mansion invited Mr. Jimo's family to a banquet. I wonder if this is true?"
The princess thought that Chai Yan would ask for some gold, silver or land, but she didn't know that the question was about this matter.
"Chai Yan! From whom did you learn about this matter?" The Crown Princess's expression suddenly changed, becoming seventy-eight percent more serious in an instant.
Not many people knew that the Prince's Mansion had invited Mr. Jimo and his family. Even Zhao Cong didn't tell her. How could Chai Yan know?
Chai Yan said calmly: "Princess, don't be so nervous. Miss Qiao told me about this."
"Are you talking about Jimo Qiao?" The princess asked, "Do you know Jimo Qiao?"
Chai Yan said frankly: "Yes, Miss Qiao and I met in Huzhou City some time ago..."
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "What do you want to do when you ask this?"
Chai Yan said sincerely: "The Crown Princess doesn't know something. I have known Miss Qiao's compatriot sister for a long time, and we are in love with each other. I came to ask the Crown Princess this time because I hope to meet her!"
The Crown Princess was quite surprised: "Are you talking about the blue-eyed Miss Jimoyou?"
"Exactly!" Chai Yan replied forcefully.
Lord Jimo has just found his eldest daughter, Jimo You, who has been missing for eighteen years. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already spoken to her about this matter in private, including the prediction made by the old Imperial Master.
"Are you the man who accompanied Jimoyou back to the capital?" the princess asked.
She had heard that Jimo You was accompanied by a young man when she returned to Beijing, but she didn't expect that man to be Chai Yan in front of her.
"Yes!" Chai Yan nodded and admitted.
Zhao Cong was listening on the sidelines and couldn't help but interject: "Brother Xian, I didn't expect you to be a sweet-tempered person like my brother!"
After saying that, Zhao Cong said to his sister: "Sister, my dear brother helped me escape from danger twice, you have to help me with this matter!"
The Crown Princess glanced at her eldest brother and said, "Chai Yan, do you know why His Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet to entertain Mr. Jimo's family?"
"I don't know." Chai Yan asked Jimo Qiao two days ago.
The princess said: "Because this is the emperor's wish!"
"Your Majesty?" Chai Yan and Zhao Cong called out in unison.
The Crown Princess nodded slowly and continued: "The Emperor hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will recognize this Miss You as his adopted sister!"
"Sister-in-law?" Chai Yan was surprised, but he understood the next moment: "So this is the purpose of the banquet five days later!"
The princess said: "That's right!"
Zhao Cong inquired curiously: "Sister, why did the Emperor ask His Highness the Crown Prince to recognize Miss Jimo You as his adopted sister? Is there any explanation in this?"
Now that everything has been said, the Crown Princess will no longer hide it. This matter cannot be hidden anyway, and everyone in the government and the public will know about it.
So, the Crown Princess told everything that happened eighteen years ago, as well as the prophecy that the old Imperial Master made a few months later.
After hearing this, Zhao Cong was amazed and sighed repeatedly that Jimo was blessed with great fortune.
The Crown Princess continued: "Eighteen years have passed and Jimo You has returned to the capital. The old master's prediction has come true. Jimo You has become the star of good fortune. That's why the emperor secretly recognized Jimo, the Crown Prince.
Miss You is your adopted sister, this is the emperor’s favor!”
Although Chai Yan was happy for Yuan Yuan, he was also worried at the same time. If Yuan Yuan would be considered a royal relative in the future, wouldn't it be more difficult to meet her?
Thinking of this, Chai Yan hurriedly asked: "Crown Princess, can you let me see her? I don't need any reward, I just hope that the Crown Princess can fulfill this small request!"
When he said these words, Chai Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"A small request... Your request is not small at all..."
After the princess finished speaking, she fell into thinking and did not give a definite answer for a long time.
Zhao Cong looked at the two of them and then helped: "Sister, a man as good as Chai Xiandi is hard to find in Dasheng! Just think of a way to let the two of them meet!"
The Crown Princess looked at her eldest brother: "Brother, can I make my own decision in this matter? It's not like you don't know His Highness the Crown Prince's temper. The more you hide it behind his back, the more intolerable he will be..."
Zhao Cong was straightforward and said: "That's not easy. When you go back later, you will make it clear to His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince nods his consent, won't there be no difficulties at all?"
If someone else asked for such a thing, the Crown Princess would refuse without hesitation on the spot!
But Chai Yan is different. Not long ago, he helped his elder brother get rid of the suspicion of rape and murder in Yangxin Temple. Last night, he helped his elder brother escape the disaster of life and death. He should help both emotionally and rationally...
.....
Moreover, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, the Crown Princess feels that Chai Yan has extraordinary abilities, and such talents cannot be lost. She hopes that they can be used by His Highness, now or in the future!
After thinking about it, the Crown Princess finally spoke: "Chai Yan, after you return home, I will definitely report your matter to His Highness. His Highness must agree to it. Do you understand?"
Chai Yan bowed and said, "I understand."
Seeing that all that needed to be said was said, the Crown Princess got up and walked out of the hall: "Brother, if nothing happens, my sister is going to visit her sister-in-law..."
When Chai Yan heard this, he understood that this was a farewell ceremony, and he immediately resigned and left the side hall.
After only a few steps, Zhao Cong chased him out and said, "Xian brother, don't worry, as soon as there is news about your matter, I will send someone to inform you immediately!"
"Thank you, brother!" Chai Yan thanked.
After coming out of the Zhao Mansion, Chai Yan suddenly couldn't figure out the east, west, and north. It wasn't that he was a road addict, but that he and Zhao Cong came back by carriage last night, and he couldn't remember which road was back to Wudesi.
.
After walking several streets and asking several passers-by, Chai Yan finally figured out the way back.
As soon as he entered a small street, Shangguan Peining's voice appeared: "The smell of blood has appeared!"
