After rebirth, I was entangled by the enemy's protons

Chapter 182 New Year's Eve
After Chu Yi returned to the palace, he did not see Chu Zhao.

After asking Zhenxue, he found out that Chu Zhao was guarded in the side hall of the Qianyuan Hall by the people led by Zhang Gonggong to the dark hall, and he would not show up until the night of New Year's Eve.

Chu Yi originally wanted to see him, but just as he stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly remembered what happened on the execution ground.

The relationship between Eldest Brother and Yi Yun had probably reached Chu Tingxiao's ears by now, so it was better for her not to touch his head.

It wasn't until evening that Chu Yi sent him to borrow some ice from the petals of the holy lotus. He only said something that he had conveyed to the doctor next to the third prince, and then returned to his room.

Chu Yi noticed that she was a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After Yin Bing met Chu Yun before, he always behaved differently than usual.

In the middle of winter, all the flowers in the imperial garden withered, only the plum blossoms bloomed alone in the cold.

She pulled Zhenxue and Xunchun, and recalled the plum blossom cakes made by Mrs. Zhen back then, and baked a lot of pastries in a short time. In addition to giving to Chu Yun, she also made some rose cakes and pastries that Xiao Yan liked most in his previous life. Osmanthus cake, let Zhenxue send it to Mingyue Pavilion.

The next day.

The story of the eldest prince Chu Lin and the young princess Ashina Yiyun of the Ashina clan spread throughout the capital and the palace.

Early in the morning, the emperor who was dining with the queen in Yonghua Palace broke a teacup because of anger, and was kicked out of the bedroom by the queen.

Chu Tingxiao became even more angry. He stood at the gate of Yonghua Palace and hesitated for a while, until he heard a dog barking from the back hall, and left angrily.

He rushed to the Yongshou Palace angrily, wanting to complain to the Queen Mother, but before he entered the palace, he saw the Queen Mother Rong, Chu Yi, and the red-haired girl, and the happy scene between the grandparent and grandson.

The red-haired girl is exactly the barbarian that Chu Lin wants to marry.

In the corner, Xiao Yan was drinking tea, playing chess and eating a piece of pastry with Chu Lin comfortably.

Seeing the emperor coming, Xiao Yan immediately became serious: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Since recovering the memory related to Chu Yi, he not only regards Chu Tingxiao as the emperor, but also as a relative.

Although this relative... is a little irritable.

"Nizi, Nizi!"

Chu Tingxiao angrily rushed to Chu Lin, pointing at his face.

"It's not good for you to say who you like, you like a barbarian woman, are you trying to piss me off?!"

Chu Lin clasped his fists, his face similar to Chu Tingxiao's was extremely serious, and he explained in a deep voice, "I hope my father will learn from you, I never thought of angering my father to death."

Chu Tingxiao stroked his chest and looked at Xiao Yan a few more times.

"Aren't you my imperial guard, why are you always by Xiao Liu's side now, huh?" He attacked indiscriminately.

Xiao Yan said: "Your Majesty has allowed me to protect Princess Yongning before, so I will never leave the princess."

"I don't remember!"

Chu Tingxiao was the most angry, of course, was Chu Lin. When he slapped the table, the snacks on the table almost flew away: "I'm so angry, you are a Yan country, and you are with the barbarians. Are you worthy of Dayan? You But Dayan's prince, besides, didn't you attack Manrong before—"

"okay."

Empress Dowager Rong was so quarreled by Chu Tingxiao that she couldn't discuss the plot of the script with Chu Yi, she frowned and said.

"Emperor, sit down and talk."

The emperor immediately shut up and sat down, and said again: "What's the mother's opinion? Do you also think that Chu Lin's actions are really inappropriate, like me? It's really a heinous crime, betraying the scriptures, betraying the family and abandoning the ancestors."

Chu Lin looked at Empress Dowager Rong innocently: "Grandmother, the emperor said that my grandson has committed a heinous crime..."

Xiao Yan whispered: "Your Majesty, those are desserts made by the princess."

"Your Majesty the Emperor Yan, our Ashina clan has no enmity with the Yan Kingdom," Yi Yun couldn't help but defend himself in a low voice, "I hope you will learn from me. My brother has always said that the emperor of the Central Plains he respects the most is you. .”

Empress Dowager Rong patted Yi Yun's hand, and said, "One mouthful of barbarians, one mouthful of heinous crimes, this is the future granddaughter-in-law of Ai's family, the future princess and concubine of Dayan, why don't you have any manners at all?"

"I--"

"Except for Yi'er, none of your six children can make Ai's family feel at ease." The Empress Dowager Rong looked at Chu Yi with a very gentle look, and then her face turned cold, and she became serious, "Now it's finally hard for the boss to have someone he likes." Girl, I even brought it back to show you, but you're still not satisfied?"

"I--"

"If you're not satisfied, you can find it for them. Can you find it? You, last year you said you wanted to choose a concubine for the crown prince. The incident was so big, did you choose anything?"

"I--"

"The Ai family is getting old, and they just want to have a great-grandson in their lifetime. With such a small wish, will the emperor still want to take it away? Is the emperor still willing? Does the emperor still object?"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Chu Yi patted her on the back to comfort her.

Chu Lin gave a thumbs up silently, thinking that bringing Yi Yun into the palace to visit the emperor's grandmother today was the most correct decision he made.

Chu Tingxiao went from wanting to speak to being speechless, and finally changed the subject in a low voice, "I'm also considering the prince's marriage. I actually think the Yongjia county master is pretty good, but..."

Empress Dowager Rong showed a see-through expression: "You think you can't see it by changing the subject? Now we are talking about Lin'er and Yi Yun."

Chu Yi said sadly: "By the way, Father, there is something Yongning wants to tell you. Yongning accidentally learned a while ago that Sister Qianqian already has someone she likes. She hopes Yongning can intercede for her, and then ask His Majesty to marry her." .”

Chu Tingxiao's eyes lit up, "Oh? But Ye'er?"

Among those candidates, or women from aristocratic families who are eligible to become crown princesses, he is most satisfied with the eldest princess's daughter, Fu Qianqian. Among other things, she is in good health, has a cheerful personality, and knows everything about her. Isn't that great.

And before, he saw that the Eldest Princess also intended to facilitate this matter.

"It's the son of General Cen Zijing, Cen Xiao."

"Oh, it's him," Chu Tingxiao nodded, his expression suddenly changed, his whole face twisted into a ball, "What, it's him?!"

Chu Yi: "Exactly."

Knowing that Liuliu would not lie to him, Chu Tingxiao immediately flew into a rage and let out an angry roar: "That rebellious son Chu Ye, he can't even catch the opportunity given to him! Why can't he be like me?"

Chu Yi hasn't said anything yet, not only Fu Qianqian, the prince-to-be, fell in love with Cen Xiao, but the prince also fell in love with Geng Tingyu from Yongguo.

She was afraid that if she said it, Chu Tingxiao would faint on the spot.

"Nizi, they are all rebellious, okay," Chu Tingxiao pointed at Chu Lin, threatening, "If you insist on doing this, what can I do? I can only deprive you of the qualification to compete for the throne."

Because she married a woman from another race, she is not eligible to compete for the throne...

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that the reason was inexplicably familiar.

Chu Lin looked confused: "Father, have you forgotten that my son's mother and concubine are Huihe people, and my son has been in the army since he was a child, so he is not qualified at all. Could it be that the father wants his son to compete with the crown prince?"

Chu Tingxiao: "...Farewell."

He said that he can't stand this group of people, why can't he just leave?

Chu Tingxiao left with a flick of his sleeves. When passing by Xiao Yan, he inadvertently glanced at the chessboard where the two were playing, and his eyebrows twitched.

"This Heizi's methods are really too vicious. Look at Baizi, he is patient, humble and polite. He is indeed my son."

Chu Tingxiao didn't want to make Chu Lin proud, so he lowered his voice a little, and couldn't help but shook his head.

"I'm weak and weak and can't take care of myself, how can I rest assured that you have such a cruel heart..."

Xiao Yan raised his head, and said calmly with a pair of clear phoenix eyes: "Your Majesty, Bai Zi is a minister, and Hei Zi is His Highness."

The corner of Chu Tingxiao's mouth twitched: "...then why did you two switch seats?"

"The minister respectfully greeted His Majesty before he stood up."

Chu Tingxiao gritted his teeth, changed his tone, and said, "Bai Zi is weak, cowardly, and was swallowed up by Hei Zi all the way. With this little ability, you can't even compare to that Ni Zi?"

Xiao Yan took a step forward, picked up a white chess piece, and landed it lightly.

The slender finger bones line the crystal chess pieces, like cold white jade.

The situation on the chessboard changed in an instant, and Heizi, who had been advancing triumphantly all the way, had already fallen into Baizi's trap.

If one piece falls, the sunspots lose the whole game.

"I didn't expect you to be so insidious and cunning. That Nizi is so arrogant and reckless. Naturally, he can't play against the scheming of you, a Yong people." Chu Tingxiao was still dissatisfied.

With a calm smile on the corner of Xiao Yan's lips, he picked up the fallen chess piece.

"Hey, there is no regret in making a move. Regret is not something a gentleman does." Chu Tingxiao wanted to stop him again.

Xiao Yan said: "I am a princess, I would rather not be a gentleman."

As he spoke, he randomly placed Bai Zi in another place.

"If you lose, you are eligible to accompany the princess. I am willing to keep losing for the princess."

On the chessboard, Bai Zi is completely powerless, only three moves will lead to defeat.

Chu Tingxiao pursed his lips. After all, he didn't say anything. He just took a deep look at him, picked up a plate of snacks on the table, and left Yongshou Palace.

At this moment, Xiao Yan took out the peach candy hidden in his bosom and put it in his mouth, still feeling a little distressed that the snack was snatched away.

He took another black stone and put it in one place, and another white stone and put it in another place.

Bai Zi came back to life again.

"It seems that His Majesty is not good at chess." He muttered to himself.

Chu Yi didn't know what the two chattered, but felt that her father seemed to be jumping back and forth between mad and half dead, and finally Xiao Yan ran away in anger.

After the emperor left, Chu Lin and Yi Yun looked at Chu Yi: "Thank you, Yier, if you hadn't invited us into the palace today, we wouldn't have thought that there is grandma."

The Empress Dowager Rong coughed, her wrinkled eyes shone with wisdom: "Why, don't you thank Aijia?"

The two looked at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed together: "Grandson, thank you, Grandmother."

"Okay, okay, the Ai family only hopes that you can play with the whole great-grandson of the Ai family as soon as possible." The Empress Dowager Rong said with a smile.

"This..." The faces of both of them turned red at the same time.

"Okay, Yi'er, you continue to tell Aijia, what happened to "The Merry Prince and Pretty Nun" at the end..."

"Yes."

Five days later, New Year's Eve.

The heavy snow fell from noon to dusk, dyeing the sky and the earth white, and the green tiles and glazed tiles of the entire palace were also covered with silver clothes. At the family banquet in the palace, plates of delicacies were served on the table, accompanied by the beautiful sound of silk and bamboo orchestras around , the atmosphere is getting hotter.

Chu Yi and Yi Yun accompanied Queen Mother Rong and arrived at the banquet early.

Tonight is a family banquet, and all those who can come are members of the royal family, and only Yi Yun has the permission of the Empress Dowager Rong to come together, even Xiao Yan did not show up.

Yi Yun has no place to live in Beijing, and she is loved by the Empress Dowager Rong. The Empress Dowager specially let her live in the side hall of the Yongshou Palace, so she can go out of the palace to find Chu Lin during the day.

Standing at the door to maintain order were the Crown Prince and the First Prince.

"It's so far away, I still don't believe Fu Qianqian said she smelled the fragrance, I was wrong, I shouldn't believe her nose!"

As soon as Chu Yao, who was wearing a vermilion embroidered golden cloud cloak, walked in, he ran up to Chu Yi, chattering endlessly.

His hair is quite complicated today, and the braids are more and more delicate: "Xiao Liu, isn't he looking good again as a brother?"

Chu Yi nodded: "Yes, yes, it looks more like me."

The eldest princess's family of three greeted the prince behind him. Fu Qianqian gave Chu Yao a look and said, "Chu Xiaowu, I told you that the food is already on the table, why don't you hurry up and leave, hum."

Chu Yao: "What do you know, I'll walk slowly in case I meet... Forget it, you don't understand even if I say it."

"I have seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness."

Fu Zhili saluted the crown prince and the eldest prince.

The eldest princess, who was always proud, also nodded slightly to the prince, and said: "Your Highness has worked hard, and so has Your Highness."

"I'm just doing my own job, but my aunt and uncle have been really hard during this time."

The prince was more modest than Fu Zhili, and his respectful attitude overwhelmed Chu Lin beside him.

His aunt had always been flamboyant and uninhibited, except for Yi'er, she never paid attention to the other princes. She never thought that she would take the initiative to care about Chu Ye?
As the second younger brother, he is impeccable in doing things, seemingly polite but also alienated. He didn't expect that his attitude towards the eldest princess would be so low?

Are they being so polite because they want to become in-laws?But didn't Yi'er say a few days ago that Fu Qianqian fell in love with Cen Zijing's son, Cen Xiao?

Chu Lin thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

It seems that he is really not suitable for fighting for the throne.

Only Chu Yi knew that the reason why the eldest princess was so polite to the prince was because she felt guilty that her daughter fell in love with someone else and could not be the princess;
The reason why the prince was also very polite to the eldest princess was because he felt guilty that he fell in love with Geng Tingyu and could not marry Fu Qianqian.

With a smile on his face, Chu Ye said again: "I haven't congratulated my uncle yet, but congratulate my uncle on being promoted to the position of prime minister. From now on, my uncle will be Dayan's first son-in-law prime minister."

The current Fu Zhili is no longer the well-known minister of the Ministry of Rites and consort of the eldest princess a few months ago.

In the early court three days ago, Chu Tingxiao ordered him to replace Fan Qian as Dayan's new prime minister.

The identity of the son-in-law cannot cover up the shining gold.

"Ahem... Brother Chen is not late, is he?"

Chu Yun, who was wearing snow-white fox fur, also walked slowly. He was wearing thick clothes, but his face was still a little pale. As usual, a team of doctors followed behind him, bowing their eyes and bowing their hands to the prince.

When Chu saw him, he hurriedly said, "Yinbing, go and help Brother Sanhuang."

To her surprise, Yin Bing, who had been hiding beside her, did not show up, as if she didn't care about Chu Yun's arrival at all.

Ever since she asked Yin Bing to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to borrow a piece of holy lotus petal the day before yesterday, and since Yin Bing came back, she has been depressed.

"The meal is on the table, you came just in time, Ayun." Chu Ye stopped suddenly while speaking.

Chu Lin looked at the person coming, his expression also became deep and indifferent.
