The city is divided into the west city and the quiet residence is like a wild family.

A Chu Palace occupies half of Yu'an's city, with carved railings and jade-built doors, wide doors, intrigues, and high eaves. The Qingming Hall is neatly arranged with officials of the fourth rank and above, solemn and upright.

The King of Chu wore a black court robes and sat on a dragon throne. Although the customs and cultures of various countries are different, for the royal families of various countries, black is respected as the same, because it represents everything people pursue in troubled times. It means solemn etiquette, strong strength, and cold weight...

Ying Hua slowly walked into the Qingming Hall, stepping on solemn etiquette and music, calm and orderly, and in an orderly manner. He wore a blue long gown, steady and firm. All the civil and military ministers in the court looked at him, and the original expression of exploration turned into admiration and appreciation.

His young and handsome face was filled with solemn and bright and unmatched with his age, his eyebrows were calm, and a polite smile was condensed on the corner of his mouth, making people unsurprising that even if Mount Tai collapsed, he would not change his face, but his restrained temperament could not hide his arrogance and confidence at all, as if the general in front of the formation was pointing the king of the country, and laughing at the storm.

"Ying Hua meets the King of Chu" a loud voice sounded from the hall

The King of Chu smiled slightly with a gentle face and looked at Ying Hua without any trace: "You don't have to be too polite to nephew."

Ying Hua waved backwards, and the servant understood and brought out a letter: "The father ordered me to visit the King of Chu, and I will present a letter."

The letter was transferred from the eunuch of the servant to the King of Chu, and then from the eunuch to the King of Chu. The King of Chu held the letter in his hand without rushing, and then looked at Ying Hua for a while before quietly unfolding.

Ying Hua observed the King of Chu quietly, and saw that he was wearing black clothes. Although it was difficult to hide his elegant temperament, his eyes were shining with a shrewd and wise light. Since ancient times, the Chu State has been a rich place with fertile land and its residents are open-minded. There is an old saying: It is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. The Chu State has been prosperous after more than four hundred years. Since that day, it seems that Yu'an City is indeed orderly and fertile and stable.

The King of Chu read the letter silently and smiled: "You came from afar, but I let you live in the palace for several days because of the busy state affairs. We were able to meet each other today. Don't blame King Yan for being unprepared for the care of you."

Ying Hua gave a slight politeness and calmness: "The King of Chu cared about his nephew's hard work, and has not yet thanked the King of Chu for many days to take care of him."

The King of Chu laughed: "I am really sensible. I have read your father's letter. You should have a brief rest in the Chu Palace. In the evening, the state banquet will be well received by our Chu State."

When foreign envoys come to visit, they will be offered a ceremony for the court in the morning. The monarch and ministers must wear court clothes and play rituals and music to show respect. In the evening, guests will be entertained, prepared delicacies, and singing and dancing to show friendship. This is the guest ceremony.

When Ying Hua followed the eunuch to leave Qingming Palace, the King of Chu also gave the morning court, leaving only two people behind.

The King of Chu looked silently at these two people who were about the same age as his children but had already been in the high position of Shangshu. They grew up in the palace since they were young, and they had almost as much time to see them as they had seen their children, so it was not too much to say that watching them grow up.

The Su family and the Shen family are two major clans of the Chu State. Their ancestors were the founding heroes of the first generation of Chu State. They have been relying on and assisting the Chu State for more than 400 years. Over the past four hundred years, not only has the strength of the Yun clan of the Chu State staggered and strengthened, but the Su family and the Shen family have also rapidly developed their own power. Now, two-thirds of the officials in the court come from these two families or related to these two families.

Su Zizhen and Shen Yizhi are the best heirs of the Su family and the Shen family. They have the same court uniform, the same official rank, the same identity, but their personalities are different. Su Zizhen looks harsh and picky, while Shen Yizhi is casual and unruly.

"Don't you two say it?" King Chu asked coldly.

The two of them were silent at the same time, as if they could not ask a word from me. The King of Chu looked at them as if they were as scattered as iron roosters, and couldn't help but feel angry. With a "bang", the memorial was shot on the table, and the teacup trembled, and the voices containing anger echoed in the hall, "Where has Guangling gone?"

The two of them knelt on the ground, without raising their heads, and still said nothing.

"Don't think that you dare not touch you after being the Secretary of the House. It's been three years. Have you ever seen any princess who disappeared for three years?"

Su Zizhen's cold and harsh eyebrows frowned slightly, and looked to the side, and saw a smiling face.

Seeing that the two of them looked unmoved, the King of Chu couldn't help but feel angry and cursed in his heart. One of them was posing a bad face all day long and didn't know who to show them, while the other only smiled like a fox, obviously inheriting the natural cunning of the Shen family. However, the two of them grew up with their daughter Guangling.

Thinking of that daughter, the King of Chu was even more helpless when he was angry. This smartest and most beautiful daughter always refused to listen to him. After all, it was because of her mother. Thinking of Guangling's mother, a rare tenderness and guilt emerged in the King of Chu's heart, and his anger also dropped a lot.

He finally glared at the two of them fiercely and said coldly: "I tell you, go find me immediately. If you can't find them, don't come to court."

After leaving the hall gate, the anger of the King of Chu behind him seemed to have not yet dissipated. Su Zizhen and Shen Yizhi did not leave immediately. They stood in front of the door together, Shen Yizhi looked smiling, stretched, and said with great comfort: "It seems that I am going to go home and take a break."

He glanced at Su Zizhen beside him, and saw that the latter frowned and couldn't help but say interestingly: "Look at your distressed look, it seems that you are thinking about where the princess is going?"

Su Zizhen's already cold face was even more severe, and his eyebrows were locked deeper.

He was so serious that he smashed his mouth and added fuel to the fire: "The princess's whereabouts has always been elusive. Why not think about her mistakes at home and take some time together?"

Su Zizhen's brow jumped, and his cold face tended to collapse.

Chen Yizhi seemed to have found something interesting. He poked his chin with his index finger and said harmlessly: "But then again, the king has paid great attention to the Su family recently. It's really...." He shook his head, and was so distressed, "And now the princess can't find it... Prince Ying has arrived in the palace again..."

"Shut up." Su Zizhen's cold face finally collapsed. He gritted his teeth and shouted a name: "Yunshu!"

Because Prince Ying Hua of Zhuocang came to Chu, he prepared a banquet for dinner today. After the ministers came to the court, they stayed in the Chu Palace for nothing else. It was just because Yu'an City was very large and the residences of the ministers were far and near, which was extremely inconvenient to come and go. It was also a pity that the scenery in the imperial garden was beautiful and there were many places for the coolness.

"Hey, have you heard that Ying Hua came to Chu from thousands of miles to visit the State of Chu, not for anything else, but to propose marriage to Princess Guangling." The following words lowered their voices.

A fourth-rank official whispered, "Mr. Li, you can't say this." He looked around and winked at the man, "I heard that the princess was seriously ill a few years ago. Now she is sick and is afraid to marry her..." The man shook his head, but he didn't dare to say anything afterwards.

"Oh," the man whispered: "You can't say this. The princess has a noble status and a good literary talent. I heard that she looks, hey, let alone Zhuocang's military strength is so strong, in this troubled world..."

"Cough, cough"

The two were talking vigorously, and a low cough came from behind. They were startled and shocked when they turned around. They saw Prime Minister Fang Wenyuan glaring at them with a beard, as if they were about to swallow their lives.

"Fang, square"

One of them wiped sweat and the other was afraid of his head.

Who doesn't know that this prime minister is famous for his love for his grandson, but it's no wonder that Fang Wenyuan gave birth to only one daughter Fang Wanyi when he was young. Later, he married the King of Chu as the queen. Fang Wanyi gave birth to a daughter in just three years after getting married, which is today's Princess Guangling, and later passed away a few years later. Now Princess Guangling is his only blood relationship, how can he not love it?

Su Zizhen and Shen Yizhi stood far away from the peony flowers in front of the courtyard, watching the garden performing a good show like juggling. One had a cold face and the other was lazy, as if they were not the ones who were scolded in the Deming Palace just now, but someone else.

Su Zizhen frowned like a icy brow, and said with a rare voluntary voice: "Will that girl really want to get married, right?"

Shen Yizhi smiled slightly: "Who knows?" He gently stroked a white peony flower in his hand, and the spring breeze was full of spring breeze: "But if she really gets married, the future of Chu State may be unknown."

"Hmph" Su Zizhen snorted disdainfully: "This Ying Hua looks wise and powerful, but he insists on marrying such a disaster. It is simply impossible to distinguish between enemies and friends, and right and wrong."

Shen Yizhi chuckled when he heard this, touched Bai Mudan lovingly, but his eyes became cold: "Like people like us, marriage is the most casual. As long as the profit is the love, it is the love. What's more, you and me are like this, not to mention that she is the princess of a country: "The hand was slightly hard, and the beautiful and rich peony made a crisp sound, and it broke instantly: "What's more,... the countries are still peaceful, and he saw that Chu's country has rich resources, keeping a low profile, and such a decision to prepare for the future may be a wise ruler."

"Even if he is a wise king, he always has to take one after Ming. Yun Shu married him, which may make the Zhuocang treasury empty and destroyed within a few years." Su Zizhen looked sarcastic, not knowing whether he was really worried about Ying Hua or dissatisfied with Yun Shu's personality.

The smile on Shen Yizhi's face became a little bigger, but the smile became a little more real: "I think you should worry about yourself first, worry about the Su family. The princess will disappear for a few years. The king has been very dissatisfied with the hoarding of food by your direct Su family officials. If you can't handle it well, don't blame me for putting in the wrong place at that time."

"Don't worry about it." A cold voice like Hanbing came over, and Su Zizhen looked sarcastic: "You're not going to be a bad person, don't forget who settled the matter for you last time your aunt ran into Concubine Rong in the palace."
