Chu Chengyao's eyes flashed slightly, and he gently patted Princess Yunxi's back, coaxing her patiently.
Princess Yanling was not convinced and wanted to say more, but Lin Jinyan stepped forward quickly and pinched Princess Yanling's arm when she passed her.
Lin Jinyan walked down from the pavilion, lifted her clothes and knelt down towards the prince and others.
Princess Yanling: "Lin Jinyan? You are right, why are you kneeling?"
Lin Jinyan turned a deaf ear and straightened up after making a big salute.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Second Highness, Your Third Highness, Princess Yunxi. Just now, my brother and I only bowed to Princess Yunxi when we saw her. When she was asked to sit down, she sat down without knowing the etiquette. We did not give Princess Yunxi a big salute. Standing aside to wait on her made the princess angry. The Fourth Highness, the young prince and the princess also wanted to persuade peace and did not speak for the princess, so they made the princess lose her temper and slapped the stone table and hurt her hand. All the mistakes were made by me. Brother and sister are ignorant of etiquette, so I ask your highnesses not to cause misunderstandings between us two outsiders, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground. Upon seeing this, Lin Jinan also walked out of the pavilion and knelt beside Lin Jinyan.
"The common people are also willing to accept the punishment. I just ask your highnesses to spare my sister and punish only the common people."
Princess Yanling was about to step forward when Chu Chengyi pulled her arm from behind and whispered, "Stay calm and don't mess with her."
Gu Ruizhou and Gu Yichen also walked from behind the prince and knelt down next to Lin Jinyan.
"Weichen's younger brother and sister made the princess angry, and Weichen deserves to be punished."
"The common people are willing to take the punishment."
Prince: "Quickly invite Lieutenant Gu, please get up. It was Yun Xi's mischief that caused the Grand Tutor's grandchildren to be wronged. How can they be punished?"
After several people stood up, Princess Yunxi looked at the prince aggrievedly: "Brother, the prince..."
Prince: "Second brother, please take Yunxi back to the palace."
Chu Chengyao said respectfully: "Yes."
Chu Chengyi stepped forward and saluted: "Second Emperor Brother, could you please explain to Concubine Rou that Yan Ling is just a child with a bad temper and there is no malice."
Chu Chengyao smiled gently: "Chengyi is too polite. How can my mother and concubine take it seriously when the children are playing with each other? Let's talk first, and I will send Yunxi back first."
After Lin Jinyan and others bowed and sent Chu Chengyao away, they entered the pavilion again to talk.
Chu Chengye smiled and said: "Colonel Gu loves his siblings so much, and he is a very kind person."
Gu Ruizhou said respectfully: "Weichen's aunt passed away early. An'er and Yan'er are already pitiful. Weichen, as an elder brother, should love her more."
Chu Chengye: "Although your younger brothers and sisters are young, one takes the initiative to take over the mistake, and the other takes the punishment on behalf of the younger sister. They are quite responsible."
The prince and Chu Chengye kept praising the Gu brothers and Lin Jinyan brothers and sisters. They seemed to be chatting, but in their words they were secretly competing with each other.
When it was time for the palace banquet, the eunuch shouted to welcome the guests, and everyone filed into the main hall. Lin Jinyan declined Princess Yanling's invitation and sat next to Bai Yiran.
While the ministers were exchanging pleasantries, Lin Jinyan whispered a few words to Gu Ruizhou in front.
After everyone arrived and had a cup of tea, the emperor arrived belatedly with the queen. Everyone stood up and saluted, and the emperor smiled and stood up to avoid saluting. He seemed to be in high spirits. After finishing the scene of praising the Northern Army, he decided on the reward for the Northern Army.
Zheng Cheng, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, announced loudly that Gu Ruizhou, a young and talented man, captured the enemy's commander and was specially named General Anbei of the third rank. He was also given the marriage to the eldest princess Yun Ping. The eldest princess will get married on an auspicious day after the end of the year and her hair.
Bai Yiran informed the Gu family about this matter when they entered the palace. Knowing that there was no room for change, after listening to the imperial edict, they all stood up and knelt in the palace to thank Long En.
