The moment he bumped into someone, Lin Jinan subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the person's arm. After the two of them stood firm, Lin Jinan glanced at the woman in the clothes, quickly retracted his hand and bowed his head to apologize:
"I'm sorry for bumping into the girl."
Before the woman could speak, the maid beside her said:
"Princess, are you okay? You are so brave. How dare you bump into me, Princess?"
When Lin Jin'an heard this, he knew who the woman was and apologized solemnly:
"Greetings to Princess Yunxi. The common people were drunk in the palace just now, so they accidentally bumped into the princess. It was not intentional. I hope the princess doesn't blame her."
Chu Chengyao walked towards the two of them: "What's going on?"
Princess Yunxi complained playfully: "Brother Emperor, my mother is not worried about letting me come to see Brother Emperor. This man drank too much and bumped into me."
Lin Jinan: "Your Highness, the common man was too drunk and accidentally bumped into the princess."
Chu Chengyao smiled gently: "It doesn't matter, I can see from your appearance that you rarely drink alcohol, so don't take it to heart if you do something unintentional. Father's Zhufeng is a rare good horse. I will go outside the city someday. When I ride the horse, I will ask you to come with me. The general and the tutor have finished talking to the ministers. Please follow them out of the palace quickly."
Lin Jinan saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the common people will retire."
Looking at Lin Jinan's walking back, Princess Yunxi frowned and said:
"Brother Imperial, who is he?"
Chu Chengyao: "The Grand Tutor's grandson, Lin Shanchang's son Lin Jin'an, you met him when you were young, don't you remember?"
"It turns out it's him. I couldn't even recognize him. I heard that he scolded Lu Sang in front of the battle so much that he almost vomited blood. I thought he had grown into a arrogant and violent person, but he looked very gentle and gentle. Father, actually Are you willing to reward Zhufeng to him? Is he very powerful?"
On the steps in front of the palace, the prince, Chu Chengye and other officials gathered around the Gu family, laughing and congratulating each other.
Chu Chengyao looked at everyone, his smile did not diminish, his eyes narrowed and he said:
"The grandson of General Gu is naturally very powerful."
Seeing that no one was around the Gu family, but instead said goodbye to everyone on his own, walked down the steps towards the outside of the palace, Chu Chengyao's eyes flashed with interest:
"Okay Yunxi, it's getting late. It's time for me to leave the palace and return home. You should also go back to the palace quickly. I will come into the palace tomorrow morning to pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
After saying goodbye to Yun Xi, Chu Chengyao stepped forward and said goodbye to the prince. The prince only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, snorted "hmm" in his nose and dismissed Chu Chengyao.
After Chu Chengyao spoke to Gu Hongzhang and others, he turned around and walked out of the palace. After he was out of everyone's sight, he quickened his pace and finally caught up with him when he was approaching the palace gate.
"Servant Han? Why did you leave so early?"
When the Minister of Hubu saw the person coming, he saluted respectfully:
"Your Highness."
Chu Chengyao helped the Minister of Household Affairs up and smiled gently and harmlessly:
"No need to be polite, why didn't you leave the palace with all the adults?"
"There is a huge difference in grade between the lower official and other lords. In terms of family background and experience, they are far behind. We really can't talk together, so we might as well go home early and feel comfortable."
Chu Chengyao: "Shilang Han's temperament coincides with mine. Now that we have met, I have to leave the palace and return home. I wonder where Shilang Han lives? If we are on the way, why not go with us?"
"I've long heard that His Highness treats people kindly and I've been fascinated by him for a long time. It's just a pity that my family lives in Pingyang Lane, which is far away from His Highness's residence. We can't travel far together and can't talk freely."
