Beijing,

Eastern Palace.

As soon as Bai Tuo stepped into Nanyuan, he saw the figure holding a long sword in his hand under the afterglow of dusk, as strong as a flowing clouds and water.

He did not go forward immediately. His highness was not happy to interrupt when practicing martial arts. He stood by and watched quietly, watching the man's sword flying like a rainbow, and he finished practicing the sword moves. He perfectly pulled a sword flower to collect the sword, and then he walked over.

"Your Highness, Huizhou sends a message."

Chu Shuo's movement of wiping the sword body was paused, "Is it Jiang Shu?"

"No, it's Miss Jiang."

Chu Shuo frowned slightly, "Why did she go to Huizhou?"

"I said I went to worship her master on the way, but when I arrived, I realized it was Huizhou."

Chu Shuo opened the letter of urgent 800 miles, and he stood up. Something happened in Huizhou. After thinking about it carefully, Chu Shuo said, "I immediately handed the sign to the palace and said that there was something urgent to report to me."

Yun Shen quickly stepped back as he said, Chu Shuo washed up briefly, changed into clothes, and then rode into the palace in a carriage.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Chu was a little curious when he saw Chu Shuo coming. The prince had never come to the palace in this world.

"Come? Is there something urgent?"

"Yes, father and son minister have to report any matter, which is the matter of Huizhou."

Chu Shuo briefly talked about Huizhou. Although Huizhou is small, Huizhou is the source of Jiangnan canal transportation. The Huizhou governor did a major task of raiding homes and extermination of the clan.

After Chu Shuo finished speaking, he saw Emperor Chu Mingming's secret expression, and he didn't care much about it. "Father, Jiang Shu and his party returned to their hometown in Jiangnan. When they passed by Huizhou, Jiang Shu was still observing the clues and found out the clues and sent people to send them back to the capital. Coincidentally, he met a group of people in Huizhou, which was consistent with his intentions. It was because his father sent people privately. The thoughts of him was better to catch all the people in one go, just one by one."

After a long time, Emperor Chu spoke, "You are in a hurry to enter the palace, so have a meal first."

After saying that, he passed on to the meal.

Chu Shuo hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and followed Emperor Chu. The palace servant served the dishes very quickly. All the dishes were at a suitable temperature and the entrance was just right.

In the golden autumn, there was a plate of crabs on the table. Emperor Chu liked to eat crabs, but crabs were cold and should not be greedy. However, no one here dared to persuade him.

Chu Shuo's eyes flashed slightly, he picked up the plate with the crabs, and said slightly, "Father, the crabs are cold in nature. Why not let Eunuch Wei take out the wine soaked in Hehuan Flowers and drink it to relieve the cold air?"

Emperor Chu took away the chopsticks and said to Eunuch Wei, "Go and hug a jar."

Eunuch Wei retreated in response. Emperor Chu has had one child after another in recent years, but Chu Shuo was the only one who could accompany him to eat in the Yangxin Palace.

Because the only one in this world who dares to persuade him to use crabs less is Chu Shuo.

The Yangxin Palace was surprisingly quiet, Chu Shuo's eyelids drooped slightly, and he was eating fish slowly. Emperor Chu looked at Chu Shuo and became more satisfied. His son was good everywhere, careful, bold, and extraordinary.

Even his appearance is first-class. Such a crown prince is a blessing for the State of Chu.

Eunuch Wei came back with the wine. Emperor Chu was in high spirits and poured two glasses of wine himself.

"Come on, have two drinks with me."

Chu Shuo put down his silver chopsticks, took the wine glass, and the two of them drank it all in one go.

"After so many years, you have been making the wine you soaked in Hehuan Flowers, and you are determined."

"It is the Queen Mother's heart, and the son-in-law only continues the Queen Mother's last wish."

Emperor Chu was stunned. It was the first queen. He stared at the wine glass in his hand in a daze. Yes, his first wife used to like making wine soaked in Hehuan, saying that it could drive away the cold for him.

I didn't expect that their son would continue this habit over the years.

"Your mother knows that you are so sensible, and you will feel at ease when you come."

Chu Shuo nodded respectfully, "Father, the advice of his son just now..."

"Shuoer, your father gave you a marriage? How about the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi?"...

Back to the East Palace,

It was already late at night, and Emperor Chu wanted to keep him in the palace, but he still declined.

He recognized the bed, and Emperor Chu knew it, so he stopped forcing it.

In the mansion, she followed his wet nurse since she was a child. Madam Xia was staying in his yard, and there was a figure holding a lamp at the door.

Chu Shuo's face was slightly gentle, this was his home.

"Why don't the wet nurse rest yet?"

"I think that Your Highness is coming back, so I will give you a light here."

Chu Shuo nodded and handed the cloak on his body to Bai Tuo who was following him.

Madam Xia lit the light and saw Chu Shuo’s face tired, “Your Highness, let’s take a break soon, the old slave has stepped down.”

Chu Shuo rubbed his fingers between his eyebrows and paused slightly, "Husband, stay here, I have something to ask you."

Madam Xia's face was slightly stunned. After listening to Chu Shuo's simple retelling, she wanted to speak but stopped.

"The wet nurse has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Madam Xia followed her mother in the early days. A few years ago, her only daughter married away, so she never cared about her in the East Palace. Chu Shuo trusted her very much.

"Your Highness, I want to ask you, do you like the lady from the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion?"

Chu Shuo stared at Aunt Xia, "I like it."

"That……"

"But, I know Yi'er likes Ziyan, and I like her. I don't have to get her, she's happy."

So, when Emperor Chu asked him, what did he say?

"Thank you, but I want to wait a few more years." I want to wait a little longer, and wait until Jiang is willing to like him.

Madam Xia looked at Chu Shuo, her thoughts seemed to be drifting away. Someone once said to her, "Xia Qing, I like him, it's my own business. Even if he likes someone he doesn't like, I'm happy for him, so you don't have to worry about me."

The man's face gradually coincided with Chu Shuo in front of him, and Madam Xia couldn't help but burst into tears.

That was her lady, that was the best lady in the world.

Seeing Madam Xia’s appearance, Chu Shuo knew that she remembered his mother.

He is different from Gu Ziyan. Gu Ziyan and his mother have had five years of memories, and his mother died of heavy bleeding because of giving birth to him.

He had never seen his mother, but no one had ever said that his mother was bad. She must be the best mother in this world.

Chu Shuo stepped forward and patted her. Madam Xia calmed down and looked up to Chu Shuo and said, "Miss portrait of your highness, you will meet your beautiful couple, and the lady will bless you in the sky."

Chu Shuo smiled slightly, "Husband, what I worry about..."

Madam Xia twisted the tears at the corner of her eyes and said hesitantly, "What is Your Majesty thinking? I don't know, but if Your Majesty makes it clear, you won't force you to do anything."

Chu Shuo nodded, "Miss, take a break soon."

Madam Xia nodded and withdrew from Nanyuan.

After Madam Xia left, Chu Shuo stood up and took out a portrait from the wooden box behind the wall.

The ones painted on it were Jiang Yi with beautiful eyes. In this way, there were many in this wooden box, including Jiang Yi who was laughing, Jiang Yi who was depressed, and Jiang Yi who was squinting his eyes and funny...

Chu Shuo stroked Jiang Yi's face with his fingertips. Jiang Yi liked Gu Ziyan for a few years, and he liked her for a few years.

When I first met that year, the pretty little girl had long been imprinted in his heart.

"Who are you and what are your name?" The six-year-old girl asked in a soft voice, pinching her waist, blocking her in front of the boy.

The sun shone on her body, and her eyes seemed to be decorated with stars.
