Empress Lin Ance

**
The banquet is over.

In the garden of the East Palace, in the gazebo, everyone retreated.

Chu Qingyan waited for Chu Qingyuan in the East Palace, and revealed to him in advance that the disaster relief money was robbed.

As expected, Chu Qingyuan suspected that he had fallen for Chu Huai'an.

"Third son, I'm afraid it's a little too presumptuous. When Song Luan comes back, he must report this matter to his father."

In order to get rid of Song Luan, he even dared to move the disaster relief money. Based on this alone, not to mention that he is not worthy of being Dasheng's heir apparent, he even deserves death.

"What about Song Luan, is he alright?"

Chu Qingyan shook her head, "When I passed by Xizhou, I happened to hear about this incident, and I went to the Sanqun Captain's Mansion to bring reinforcements."

Chu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was fine.

Suddenly, he remembered another thing, and looked at Chu Qingyan with a solemn and serious expression.

"Ayan, it's not that the emperor is talking about you. You are too self-willed to do things. You ran to the grassland without saying a word. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"If father finds out that you went to the Huyan tribe... you are too willful."

Chu Qingyuan sighed, but he couldn't say anything serious to Chu Qingyan.

"Brother Huang, I am not willful."

It was rare for Chu Qingyan to patiently explain to him, "You also know that there are a bunch of stubborn old people in the court, this time I will not show up, and the next time I will be sent away to make a kiss."

Chu Qingyuan opened his mouth, still looked at her and shook his head, with doting on her in his eyes.

"Father won't."

"Ayan, you have to trust Brother Huang, even if you come to this point in the end, Brother Huang will protect you."

"..."

Chu Qingyan looked at him and didn't speak for a while, but the smile in her eyes gradually deepened.

She is still willing to believe that in this deep palace, there are still people who have given her true feelings for her.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, feelings are the most hypocritical thing, but they are also the most rare.

"By the way, Brother Huang has adopted a new wife?"

Even if she didn't say anything about it, Chu Qingyuan knew about it.

He frowned and nodded, "The third child brought her here, originally intending to keep her for a long time, but now it seems that there is no need for it."

Chu Qingyan shook her head, "It doesn't have to be like this, I think Brother Huang's idea is very good, and Third Brother should also learn a lesson."

Chu Qingyuan nodded.

"Seven days later, a hunting competition will be held in the western suburbs, and that Princess Yunzhao strongly urges you to attend."

"Oh, is that right...that princess is a bit interesting."

Chu Qingyan didn't care much about this, after all, she had the final say on whether to participate, but if she really participated, it might be difficult to conceal her identity.

"You just came back, you haven't seen Father yet, he misses you very much these days, go and see later."

Chu Qingyan nodded perfunctorily.

His Majesty the Emperor Chu is very well, and she is not in the mood to see him.

After the discussion, the two chatted one after another, and Chu Qingyan was about to leave. It is not good for her to stay in the palace for too long, and it is easy to make people in the Sifang Pavilion suspicious.

Huyan Xingchi and the others should be going back soon.

"I'm living in the palace this time. Brother Changle Palace has already been cleaned. Yun Zhao sent a night pearl this time. I let someone put it in your palace..."

"Brother Emperor!"

Not far away, Chu Rao walked over angrily.

Chu Qingyan immediately felt a headache, and subconsciously wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chu Rao halfway.

"You are not allowed to go!"

Chu Rao stared at Chu Qingyan, then turned to look at the prince again, "Brother Huang! You are my brother, not her brother! I am your sister!!"

"That luminous pearl is big and bright. I have asked you so many times to ask for it. If you don't give it to me, it's fine, but you gave it to her without asking?!"

Chu Rao was so angry that she even spoke in a crying tone.

Chu Qingyan scratched her head helplessly, and let go of Chu Rao's paws, "Sister, wipe your nose first, how old are you still crying?"

"Who is the eldest sister? I am your younger sister, the fifth younger sister! You have to give in to me, and Brother Huang, that is my own brother!!"

"That's right, it's also my own brother." Chu Qingyan smiled angrily at her.

Both Chu Qingyuan and Chu Rao were descendants of Concubine Wan Gui. After her mother passed away, Concubine Wan Gui was helped to become the empress.

Chu Rao is one year younger than her, the fifth eldest.

"You...you are not allowed to rob my brother, don't you have your own brother?!"

"Chu Rao!" The prince suddenly scolded her.

Chu Rao was taken aback, and immediately realized what nonsense he had said, immediately covered his mouth, and stayed in place quietly.

On the other side, Chu Qingyan was stunned for a while, the expression on her face darkened, and she smiled at Chu Qingyuan.

"Brother Huang, I still have something to do, so I won't stay."

Taking a deep breath, the moment Chu Qingyan turned around, the smile on her face disappeared completely.

……

Song Luan arrived in Chang'an not long ago.

When he told the Emperor Chu about the robbery of the disaster relief money when he was in Xizhou, the Emperor Chu was furious.

It is strictly forbidden for the court to thoroughly investigate this matter.

But anyone who understands also understands that the end of the matter is just one more scapegoat, nothing more.

Mu Dan is free these days, so he took Chu Qingyan for a stroll around East Street and West Alley.

Today, a few people strolled to the moat, and when they were about to take a boat, they happened to meet Yun Zhao's two.

"Coincidentally, you are also here to take the boat?"

Yun Qingchen was polite, and had already ordered two ships.

The moat of Chang'an City almost runs through the north and south of Chang'an Avenue. Tourists from other places like to take a boat tour.

"Unfortunately, if you come to Chang'an, how can you miss the cruise ship!" Mu Dan also learned to be polite.

There are more shallow waters on the grassland, and Mu Dan was indeed very interested, so he dragged Chu Qingyan to swim with Huyan Xingchi.

The cruise ship is good, but the boatman has a problem.

"Young masters and ladies, there can be at most two people on the boat. There are too many of you, and I can't pull them away..."

Yun Qingchen and Yun Yudai booked two boats. The business of cruise ships is booming recently. There is still one boat left, but it is not enough for three people.

Chu Qingyan and Mu Dan had already boarded the boat, leaving only Huyan Xingchi standing on the shore.

Chu Qingyan thought about it, after all, this cruise ship was not rare for her, but it was probably the first time for Huyan Xingchi and the others to sit on it. She was about to speak out, but someone spoke before her:
"Well, I... There is still space on the boat, you can ride with me!"

Everyone looked over in unison, and it turned out to be Yun Yudai, who was usually arrogant, with a tinge of blush on her face.

Yun Qingchen also looked at his sister in surprise.

Mu Dan stared at the boss, smelling gossip, and looked at Huyan Xingchi winkingly:

"Achi, your peach blossom is here!"

It's not very good for Chu Qingyan to speak now, if she refute the princess's face, Yun Yudai can't bear to hate her?

When everyone thought that Huyan Xingchi would push it halfway, he suddenly turned his head to look at Mudan, and hooked him.

Mu Dan stood up puzzled, but was dragged by Huyan Xingchi onto Yun Qingchen's boat, "Prince please take him for a ride."

Then, he turned his eyes to Chu Qingyan.

"You, sit down."

Chu Qingyan stared, and moved obediently when she heard the words, to make room for him.

What the hell, is there something wrong with Huyan Xingchi, let the princess not find a ride with her?

Isn't this bringing hatred to her!
