After Chu Ye went to the morning court, he was called to the imperial study by Shen Yuanchang.

At this time, he was standing under Shen Yuanchang, quietly waiting for the emperor's instructions.

Shen Yuanchang took a sip of tea and said to Chunying: "Chunying, give the prime minister a seat."

Chunying bowed with a humble smile on her face: "I obey the order."

After saying that, he moved a chair for Chu Ye.

"Xiang Chu, please sit down."

Chu Ye responded lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Yuanchang said with a smile: "I heard that Chu Aiqing and the grassland brother and sister went to Fengming Mountain for a spring outing yesterday? Did anything interesting happen?"

Chu Ye paused when he heard this, then he cupped his hands and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, I was invited to go to Fengming Mountain with Prince Duolun and Princess Gulun yesterday. I also went with my apprentice, Ning Yu, the eldest son of Duke Anguo. Nothing special happened during the period."

Shen Yuanchang already knew what happened yesterday, and this summons was just to find out what Lin Ye said.

He smiled lightly and said: "As I see it, Princess Gu Lun has a good impression of my sons?"

Chu Ye pondered for a long time and replied: "In this trip, Princess Na Gu Lun did not mention any princes. She only has a good impression of Wei Chen. I think it is because she has not yet come into contact with the princes."

Shen Yuanchang's hand holding the tea leaves paused slightly, as if he didn't expect Chu Ye to be so direct, he said calmly:

"Oh? Princess Gu Lun is innocent and straightforward. Does Aiqing have a good impression of her?"

Chu Ye is still unmarried, and Princess Gu Lun's mother's family is powerful. I think if she allows it, Chu Ye is also willing.

Chu Ye was silent for a long time and said calmly: "From what I can see, Princess Gu Lun likes calm people. With the graceful appearance of several princes, after many contacts, she will definitely be able to find someone she likes."

Shen Yuanchang nodded when he heard this. He looked at Chu Ye and said tentatively:

"I remember that my beloved is now twenty-three, and it's time to find a virtuous noblewoman to settle down with."

When Chu Ye heard this, Ning Yu's innocent smiling face from yesterday flashed through his mind for a moment, and his face darkened: "I already have my favorite candidate in my heart. When the time is right, I will definitely ask your majesty for a marriage."

Shen Yuanchang leaned forward slightly: "Oh? The Prime Minister already has someone he likes in his heart? Which noble girl is she from? Can you tell me about it?"

Although there are rumors in the capital that Chu Ye is very fond of his new apprentice, these are all shady things.

When a man walks in the world, he must marry a few noble girls to help him. As for the rest, it is all a matter of the inner family. It is good for everyone to know it well.

The Prime Minister who believed in himself was no exception, so Shen Yuanchang asked this question.

Chu Ye bowed his head and said: "This matter is not clear yet. Please forgive me for not reporting it."

Shen Yuanchang laughed loudly. He pointed at Chu Ye and said, "Chunying, look at my prime minister. It turns out that he actually has someone to protect him."

Chunying looked at Chu Ye with her small eyes, then covered her mouth and laughed.

Chu Ye left the imperial study and walked to the arch of the imperial garden, where he met Zhao Yan who was greeting the Queen Mother to return home.

Zhao Yan is the youngest sister of Queen Zhao Wan and the daughter of the Taiwei. She has been raised and raised since she was a child. Ever since she met Chu Ye at the palace banquet last year, she has been secretly attracted to him.

This time, the fourteenth prince died, and the queen mother was heartbroken. As her niece, she took the initiative to invite her to the palace to pay her respects.

Unexpectedly, he left the longevity palace and walked to the gate of the imperial garden when he met Chu Ye coming out of the imperial study.

The two of them walked towards each other slowly, Zhao Yan twisting her handkerchief and feeling like beating a drum.

Chu Ye was touched by Shen Yuanchang's words just now, and he felt a little complicated for a moment.

Ning Yu is now almost sixteen, and it's time to discuss marriage, but she doesn't know what Duke An Guo and his wife are planning.

He was irritated in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He walked towards the palace gate like a leisurely stroll, not paying attention to the oncoming woman.

Women in the palace are taboo about foreign men, and most of them will avoid walking around when they see them.

Zhao Yan watched infatuatedly. The man coming towards her was tall, with a delicate and handsome face, a noble aura around him, and a strong official authority.

She unconsciously moved towards the man who was like an immortal.

When Chu Ye found the woman in a red dress walking straight towards him, he raised his thick black eyebrows slightly.

Seeing that the woman was not a familiar person, Chu Ye stepped aside to avoid it, but was stopped by the woman shyly with her hand outstretched.

Chu Ye frowned and avoided the woman's thin white hand, looking down at the woman's blushing face: "What's the matter?"

A frosty voice sounded, Zhao Yan bit her lip, and she made a proper salute: "Zhao Yan, a civilian girl, has met Prime Minister Chu."

Chu Ye lowered his eyes and understood the identity of the girl in front of him with just a moment's thought. He glanced at the deserted palace road behind her and said calmly:

"Young lady, are you here to see the Queen? It's just that she is not in the Imperial Study Room. You might want to go to Huaqing Palace to have a look."

After speaking, Zhao Yan nodded and walked towards the palace gate without waiting for an answer.

Seeing Chu Ye turn around and leave without hesitation, Zhao Yanyou bit her lip unwillingly and chased after Chu Ye's back:

"Xiang Chu, please wait for me. I'm not here to see my sister. I'm on the way with you and am about to leave the palace."

Chu Ye, however, acted as if he had not heard anything and just walked towards the palace gate like a leisurely stroll.

It looked like he was careless, but in reality he was using his feet hard. In just a moment, he left Zhao Yan far behind.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get even close to herself.

Ning Yu slept until three o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, Tao Hong came into the house with a smile.

"Young Master, please wake up. You drank too much yesterday and actually bothered Prime Minister Chu to take you back to your home in person."

Ning Yu smacked her head and said angrily: "Master personally sent me back home?! Did he say anything?"

Taohong took Ning Yu's hand, combed her black hair, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't remember anything at all?"

Ning Yu was a little embarrassed: "It's not like I don't remember it at all. I still had some memories before I drank too much. By the way, did the master say anything?"

Taohong thought about Chu Ye's deep eyebrows and shook her head silently.

Taohong somehow sensed the Prime Minister's hostility towards her every time she saw him, but for just a moment, he remained indifferent.

"Prime Minister Chu didn't say anything. He only asked my servant to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for you. But you haven't woken up yet, and my servant didn't call you."

Ning Yu said angrily: "It's a pity that I drank so much pear blossom drunk and earned him so much face, but I didn't even get a word of praise."

Taohong was funny: "You drank so much, wasn't it because you were greedy?"

Ning Yu scratched his head and giggled: "That's not entirely true."

Taohong smiled and picked up the wedding invitation on the table and handed it to Ning Yu: "The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has found its long-lost granddaughter. The wedding invitations are being sent out and the hairpin ceremony is about to take place."

Ning Yu picked up the wedding invitation and looked at it: "Isn't the Zhongyong Hou Mansion the newly appointed in-laws of Brother Shaofeng?"

Taohong smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that the newly found granddaughter is my sister. Now that she is back, Master Shaofeng's marriage partner will be changed."
