The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Fengluan Palace, the queen's residence.

The apricot-yellow phoenix robe is incomparably luxurious, and the charm of a high-ranking queen still exists, and the phoenix hairpin in the complicated bun is shining and luxurious. She was looking cold and sneered: "I just came back, and the fourth child came to the door."

The news of His Royal Highness King Luo's visit to the grounded King Xiping has already spread, and the prince sitting beside him sneered: "Isn't the fifth child still at Mei Geng's place? Will he help others?"

Mei Geng's kindness to Chu Ce is really puzzling.

The queen took a deep breath, and the arrogance in her eyes was exactly the same as that of the prince, and she said with a bit of contempt: "You think Mei Geng will let Chu Ce take over? He wished that Chu Ce would never turn over in his life."

Chu Yan was stunned, "What does the queen mother mean by this?"

These years, Mei Geng really held Chu Ce in his palm, and even took him with him to Linzhang. Those who didn't know thought Chu Ce was his son.

The empress bent her lips, Chu Hengzhi favored Concubine Wan, but how could she live in a secluded palace and wait to die?Naturally, someone was placed beside Chu Hengzhi, so he listened to every word of the conversation between Chu Hengzhi and Mei Geng that day.

Chu Ce was just a pet boy that Mei Geng kept by his side.

Chu Yan's expression upon learning of this matter was almost the same as that of Chu Luo's who had learned that Mei Geng was going to marry Chu Ce as his concubine. He waited for a while before he said in a complicated way: "This matter...is it true?"

He couldn't understand Chu Ce since he was a child, firstly because his biological mother Concubine Shu was of low status and had trouble with eunuchs and guards; Do not beg for mercy.

But so far he really feels disgusted.

A man willing to be done by another man?Recalling the gentle and elegant eyebrows of the fifth younger brother, although it was indeed harmless and good-looking, Chu Yan couldn't think of him as a woman no matter what.

The queen picked up the teacup leisurely, her ten fingers were brightly colored with cardamom, and she said casually: "The king of Xiping has no official concubine yet, so there happens to be a princess in the palace who hasn't been settled yet."

Chu Heng's descendants are rare, the second and third princes all died young, and the princess is only Xihe Princess Chu Yuan, who only reached the age of last year. When the concubine Xian died of blood collapse when she gave birth to a daughter, this princess was raised at the empress' knees.

The prince was silent and didn't make a sound. He knew that the queen mother wanted to win over King Xiping.

But thinking of that fifth younger brother, I feel sick again.

-

The next day, Concubine Wang was called into the palace by the queen, and mentioned the marriage of King Xiping.

Su Jing, who knew all the inside information, frowned, then sighed softly, and repeatedly said that since ancient times, women have three obediences and four virtues. Now that husbands are obedient to sons, how dare she decide the prince's marriage?

The queen smiled dignifiedly and said: "If Wang Taifei is willing, I will go and ask His Majesty for an imperial decree to grant a marriage. As long as His Majesty decrees this matter, nothing will go wrong."

Su Jing was so frightened that she almost cut off her nails, thinking that if Mei Geng were to marry the little princess, the prince might bring the palace upside down. The marriage of His Highness the Crown Prince tactfully indicated that the Mei clan also had several outstanding girls.

The queen was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth. How could those women from the collateral lineage be compared with the princess from the Great Chu?

The two women came and went for a while, the queen saw that the princess Wang Taifei was determined not to agree to this marriage, so she had no choice but to let her out of the palace.

Su Jing, who stepped out of the palace gate, let out a long sigh. Although she didn't like Chu Ce, a genuine man, she would not just sit and watch the queen and prince blackmail her son.

After Mei Geng heard about this, he was silent for a moment, then bowed solemnly, thanking his mother.

Seeing his actions, Su Jing almost understood that Mei Geng's intentions were hard to reverse.

When the news reached Chu Luo's ears, His Highness Luo Wang sneered, mocking the queen for making a wrong calculation.

Concubine Wan is very elegant and graceful, and she is a little more gentle and tender than the dignified and dignified queen. She warned: "The queen dare not ask her majesty for a marriage decree, and I am afraid she will not give up easily to win over King Xiping."

Unlike Chu Yan who relied on the queen to make suggestions, Chu Luo believed in himself more. He smiled warmly: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, father and emperor don't believe anyone now. As long as King Xiping doesn't let go, this marriage will not come true."

Recalling the ridiculous deal between King Xiping and himself, the smile on Chu Luo's face softened a bit.

On the last day of King Xiping's three-day confinement period, when Chu Ce returned to the palace, Miss Huang came to the door.

Chu Yuan was five months older than Chu Ce, and had a coquettish and beautiful face, no different from her biological mother. The concubine Xian was such a charming beauty back then.

There were not many people in Chu Ce's palace, and there was only Wuwei who served him closely. A group of people came to Chu Yuan in a big way, and they looked at him with strange and complicated eyes.

Only Chu Ce and Chu Yuan were left in the hall, and even Wuwei and Chu Yuan's personal maids were sent to see the door.

Chu Ce's heart was like still water, he didn't say a word, very calm.

After confronting each other for less than a cup of tea, Chu Yuan couldn't help but said, "You should know why I am looking for you."

Chu Ce smiled, and nodded gently, "Sister Huang can speak out."

Chu Yuan took a deep breath, and said with full of air, "I want to marry King Xiping."

After finishing speaking, she found that Chu Ce still had warm eyes, holding a cup of hot tea and didn't respond.

The two fell into silence again, and after a long while, Chu Ce said, "Sister Huang, please go back."

Chu Yuan frowned, but didn't get up, she seemed to lose her arrogance in an instant, and she was a little depressed, "Chu Ce, please help me."

Chu Ce raised his eyebrows, "Sister Huang, I'm too busy to take care of myself, how can I help you?"

Chu Yuan's face was ugly.

She was raised under the queen's knees, and she had seen how the prince abused him, but she never reached out to help, and would even say that the prince's brother did the right thing.

All involuntary.

"Chu Ce, I know the relationship between you and King Xiping." Her Royal Highness let out a sigh, and even lost her claim to be the palace, with a bitter smile, "This is the only way for me to get rid of the embarrassment of my mother. Help me to get along with him." Tell me, I only want the position of Concubine in the Palace."

It was also the first time for Chu Ce to see such a delicate and graceful imperial sister. In her previous life, she was also pushed out by the queen to get married. She married a khan from the northwest tribe, who was old enough to be her father.

In comparison, for Mei Geng, a young talent, there must be no woman who would not be tempted.

His Highness Duke Huai was filled with emotions. After all, even a man like him was tempted, but he still smiled politely: "Sister Huang, I can't help myself."

Involuntarily.

Chu Yuan was stunned. She used these four words as an excuse to watch Chu Ce being bullied with cold eyes. Now Chu Ce also used these four words to reject her request.

Chu Ce didn't just refuse because of this matter.

Once the princess married Mei Geng, at least in the eyes of outsiders, Mei Geng would be inseparable from the prince's party, not to mention the princess was an extraordinary woman, if anything happened, it would be Mei Geng who was to blame.

Chu Yuan was still not reconciled, coldness and resentment even appeared in her eyes, "Chu Ce, I said I won't fight with you, I just want to live a safe life."

Who doesn't want to?

Chu Ce has mixed feelings in his heart, the word "safety" is so extravagant.

He put down the teacup, looked at the tall princess who was walking on thin ice, and shook his head lightly, "Sister Huang, how can I control the choice of King Xiping?"

After a while, he smiled again: "Sister Huang, don't trust His Highness Luo Wang lightly."

Chu Yuan's complexion suddenly changed, his resentment was undisguised, he sneered and said, "Brother Sihuang is not the kind of person you think, if it wasn't for him, I still don't know that mother and concubine died at the hands of Zhonggong!"

Chu Ce stopped at the point, and Concubine Xian left earlier than his mother Concubine Shu, so Chu Ce, who lost his mother when he was young, naturally did not know the truth of the year.

But he felt that Huang Jie was not so naive as to trust Chu Luo so much.

It's not speculative, and Chu Yuan didn't do well with Chu Ce. Before leaving, he said with a sneer: "It's not long for women to serve others with sex, let alone men."

His Highness Duke Huai touched his face thoughtfully, and when he became interested, he admired himself in the mirror, and when it came to his appearance, Mei Geng did not give in.

Thoughts drifted away, I couldn't help thinking about what Mei Geng looked like when his white hair was gray and his face was full of ravines. Maybe they would hold hands and walk through the Jiangnan water town, enjoying the autumn frost and cold rain, and their heads covered with frost and snow.

He suddenly realized that he was a little vague about Mei Geng's appearance before his rebirth, and he only remembered those sinister and resentful eyes, soaked in the coldness and coldness from the most shady place in the world.

After a while, His Highness Duke Huai sighed faintly.

How did Mei Geng die?

Want to know, but dare not ask.

-

Just after the three-day foot ban, the invitation from the East Palace was handed over to Xiping Palace.

Qin Gui said expressionlessly, "His Royal Highness has set up a tea party and invited the rich and powerful sons of Yong'an City to go. My lord, why don't you call me sick and push you away."

If the matchmaking fails, there may be some tricks to hold back.

Mei Geng lingered on the invitation card and hesitated for a while before asking, "Where's Xiao Ce?"

Qin Gui was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, his face showed embarrassment: "His Royal Highness Huai Wang and Luo Wang should also go."

The prince must be worried that His Highness will go to the banquet alone, as expected, he slapped the invitation on the table, and said decisively: "Go and see."

He wants to see what other tricks the prince can play.

The next day, the sky was fine, and King Xiping, who had left the imperial court, changed into a wide-sleeved uniform and rushed to the East Palace—look at his darling Prince Huai.

East Palace, Songlan Garden.

Naturally, the tea party of the princes of the aristocratic families is not only about tasting tea. During the period, whoever the prince composes a poem, and which young master dances a sword, it is always a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful or the royal family.

What's more, those who can receive the invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince have extraordinary identities.

Even Feng Chengyu, the eldest son of the Feng family, who rarely appeared as the successor of the Pingguo government, came with his worrying younger brother.

The princes of the aristocratic families all had their own small circles, and before the crown prince showed his face, many people had already gathered in twos and threes in the courtyard.

Feng Sunan brought his elder brother to Lu Zhibei and Yu Yi, exchanged greetings, looked around, and asked, "Mei Geng and His Royal Highness haven't come yet?"

The sick beauty Yu Yi caught wind and cold again in the past two days, covered her lips and coughed twice before saying, "Everyone is here."

"Where's the person?" Feng Sunan stared back and forth, but still couldn't find it.

Lu Zhibei also coughed, glanced at the backyard, said nothing, and mouthed: tryst.

Feng Sunan nodded clearly, and the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

Feng Chengyu, who didn't know why, was puzzled all the way: "..."
