In the court room.
Chu Chengyao made careful arrangements for receiving the envoys, and when faced with the provocation from the Mobei people, he responded forcefully and politely, which won the emperor's praise.
Without a word of praise, the officials of the prince's party used the robbery of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Secretary's Mansion last night to impeach Chu Chengye for neglecting his duties during the supervision of the patrol and allowing the thief to slip away under his nose.
When the emperor heard about the theft and was informed by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, he felt that Tianchu had lost face and criticized Chu Chengye. The prince and Chu Chengye were left in the palace to accompany the envoys and ordered Chu Chengye to catch the thief as soon as possible. On the last day of patrol, he should not be careless again.
Chu Chengye was scolded, his face darkened after going down to the court, he passed the prince who was talking to the officials, and took the lead to leave the Guangming Palace.
When Concubine Xian learned about the early court meeting, she was worried that the impulsive Chu Chengye would cause some trouble, so she sent people to guard the place outside the palace where there were few people.
After careful questioning, he gave Chu Chengye some advice and comfort, asking him to suppress his temper and not make any mistakes while the envoy was in Beijing.
After Chu Chengye left the palace, Concubine Xian worriedly asked her confidants to send a message to Jia Yu, telling Jia Yu to be optimistic about Chu Chengye and to dissuade him.
Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Chu Chengping heard that the envoy was entering the palace today and came to Prince Xiang's Mansion early to find Chu Chengyi to hide out.
After chatting for a while, Chu Chengping saw that Chu Chengyi was not in a good state, and Chu Chengping said in confusion:
"Third brother, what happened? I feel like you are distracted this time when you come back."
Chu Chengyi: "What kind of woman do you think Lin Jinyan is?"
"ah?"
Chu Chengping was stunned for a moment by his words without beginning or end, then he thought carefully and said:
"Kind, bold, smart, looks very simple, but sometimes feels like it's not that simple... I can't say clearly, but she is a good woman anyway. Why do you suddenly think of her? Oh~ Could it be... that you have moved your heart? Hehe You seem to be lovesick, so I thought you were in trouble."
Chu Chengyi rolled his eyes at him: "You are really judging others by yourself. If you think of yourself as lovesick, everyone will think that you are lovesick. I found out some things before and suspected that she has something to do with her. I went to Beijing this time to check. I feel that I am sure. I don’t think so, but it’s all wrong.”
Chu Chengping listened carefully to what happened and became even more puzzled:
"Lin Jinyan's body is three times weaker than that of an ordinary boudoir woman. How could you think of her? By the way, she was brought to me by Tuosyao a few days ago, saying that it was the birthday of the emperor's grandmother. Ruosan An imperial brother mentioned her and asked me to follow his words and said that I would express my gratitude. I still haven't figured out what she wants to do."
Chu Chengyi was about to ask again when the housekeeper came in and reported: The chamberlain in the palace sent word that His Majesty was looking for His Royal Highness Prince Qi to enter the palace. He went to Prince Qi's Mansion but could not find him. He came here after hearing that he was here.
Chu Chengping stood up helplessly: "Okay, I can't hide. I'll enter the palace first."
Chu Chengyi raised his eyebrows and smiled happily. As soon as he stood up and prepared to send him out of the house, the housekeeper said again:
"The chamberlain said that your Majesty heard that His Highness came to see you and asked you to come to the palace with him."
Chu Chengyi's smile froze:...
A gloating smile turned to Chu Chengping's face:
"Let's go, third brother."
The two entered the palace and spent half an hour chatting with the emperor and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms. The prince took him with him to watch and play in the imperial garden with the princes and princesses of the Three Kingdoms.
During the conversation, it was heard that Pingnan and Yeliang seemed to have the intention of marrying Tianchu. Chu Chengyi and Chu Chengping, who were originally following everyone to make up for it, slowed down again.
