The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 213 A Date in the Study Room (1)
Cheng Yu wanted to ask for the marriage decree right away, but Emperor Mingde promised to make the decision for him in the spring of the next year, and if he continued to ask, it seemed that he doubted Emperor Mingde.A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and the emperor's words are even more promises. The emperor has agreed to him and still begged. Isn't it worried that there will be variables in the middle, that is, worried that Emperor Mingde's promise is useless?
In front of the emperor, you can't push your feet.

"Don't think too much about Huaibi, the emperor promised in front of you and me that he will not change his words in the future." Walking outside the palace gate, King Ding patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder.

Cheng Yu put away his worries for the time being, and cupped his hands at him and said, "Thanks to Second Brother today, and if Second Brother has something to ask in the future, I will never hesitate to die."

With Gu Lan in his hands, unless Gu Heng is so insane that he will ignore his sister's life, he will never dare to trouble the Hanzhu sisters openly.

King Ding punched him and scolded with a smile: "Why are you being so polite to me?" Cheng Yu pulled him back from the gate of hell at least three times, so what a small thing he did for him was nothing.Looking up at the sky, tomorrow will be empty, it is lunch time, Ding Wang looked in the direction of his palace, and asked: "Go to my place for a drink? Or go back to the mansion to watch a play?"

King Jing and his wife still have a lot of mess to clean up. If it weren't for the fear that King Jing would become angry, King Ding really wanted to go and have a look.

Cheng Yu shook his head, "I still have something to do, Second Brother, go back first, I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

"I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine." King Ding got on his horse, joked with him with a smile, and rode away.

Cheng Yu also got on his horse, hesitated for a moment facing the empty street, and headed towards the Yunyanghou Mansion.

When I arrived at the Yunyang Hou Mansion, I was stopped again by the guards dutifully, "Young Master Biao, Lord Hou told me that he is not at home, so he is not allowed to enter the mansion. Please forgive me for our difficulties."

Cheng Yu didn't expect that Chu Qing would be so unreasonable after agreeing to the marriage. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sound of horseshoes at the entrance of the alley. Cheng Yu turned his head and saw Chu Yuan riding on the horse, coming slowly.Cheng Yu's heart moved, and when Chu Yuan got off his horse, he walked over and said, "I just heard a piece of news in the palace, which is of great importance. I wonder if Bo Yuan can take a step to speak?"

Chu Yuan looked at him and walked under a tree outside the door, meaning to speak outside.

Cheng Yu instantly remembered his doubts about Chu Yuan, and the more Chu Yuan didn't want him to go in, he wanted to go in, and said in a low voice: "This matter has something to do with Lingmei, it's better for us to go into the mansion and talk about it. "

Chu Yuan frowned, seeing Cheng Yu's posture of not opening his mouth unless he was brought in, but his expression was a bit dignified. Seeing that he was not just trying to deceive others, he led him to the Hou's mansion, and said calmly when passing by the guards: " I invite my cousin to drink tea with me, if Master Hou comes back to investigate, you just need to push the matter on me."

His words were more effective than the Eldest Master and the Third Master, and the guards retreated to their original places with peace of mind as there was someone who could take the blame.

Chu Yuan invited Cheng Yu to his study.

Cheng Yu didn't hold back any more, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has decided to hold a talent show in the spring next year. By the way, he will choose concubines for the kings. The decree should come down in the next few days. The daughters of officials above the fifth rank will all participate in the election. I have asked the emperor when the time comes. Give marriage to my cousin and me, if you don't want your sister to enter the palace, you'd better find a way before the decree comes down."

Chu Yuan's heart shuddered.Cheng Yu is a descendant of the clan, if the emperor pointed out the eldest daughter of the Chu family to Cheng Yu as his wife, then it would be impossible for the daughter of the Chu family to have more than one concubine.The second uncle is a courtier's favorite, but his father is just an ordinary courtier. The third sister doesn't have to worry about filial piety. My younger sister has an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament. She was accused of being a side concubine for the princes, and was even favored by the emperor and brought into the palace.

How could he let his sister go to that kind of place?
Almost at the same time, Chu Yuan thought of his best friend far away in the northwest, Li Congming, the eldest son of General Zhenbei.The two are about the same age. Li Congming was dumbfounded when his younger sister was only 11 years old, and vowed to let him keep her as his wife.Chu Yuan was afraid that he would come for real, so he kept on guard against him, and he was not allowed to see his sister in private. Li Congming was soon sent to the northwest to guard, but that boy would write to him every year to ask him about his sister.This year Mrs. Li also tested her mother's intentions, but her mother was reluctant to let her sister marry early, so she didn't give an answer for the time being.

If there was no draft, Chu Yuan would definitely have to wait for Li Congming to come back and ask his sister to read it before considering the marriage, but now, he can only make a quick decision.

He stood up and bowed solemnly to Cheng Yu, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for reminding me."

Cheng Yu turned aside and said politely: "Bo Yuan doesn't need to thank me, I also have something to ask for, the banquet at our house today was arranged by my father to choose a relative for me, my cousin must be very worried, please ask Bo Yuan to help me I arranged for me to meet her and clarify the two things together."

Chu Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and said after a long time: "Dinner is about to come, you can go to the guest room to eat and rest first, and I will send someone to call you after the arrangements are made."

Cheng Yu cupped his hands in thanks.

Chu Yuan didn't look at him again, and went to his mother to discuss his sister's marriage.
