The next day, early morning.

On the court hall, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair, the queen mother hangs behind the curtain, all the officials pay homage, and then call.

Rong Ze and Rong Ge walked into the palace slowly, stepped forward, and saluted the queen mother and emperor above.

Qi Huan said directly, "Excuse me." Then he looked at the person behind him.

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at the people standing in the palace, and said with a smile: "Emperor of Southern Chu, you can come to the imperial capital in person, which shows your intention. Regarding the battle between Northern Zhou and Southern Chu in the southern border, the result must be clear. Going forward, you will create You are also very clear about the consequences."

Rong Ze replied in a steady voice: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true. Nan Chu lost this battle. If I continue to resist, it will only make the situation of Nan Chu worse. As the emperor of Nan Chu, In the past, Han Xiu was the military general of Southern Chu, and he held the military power. I have no real power and can only let him do what he does. Now that Han Xiu is dead, what I need to consider is the future of the people of Southern Chu. I will never let the situation change. It’s even worse, what the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment, and what I want is long-term peace and stability in Southern Chu, and I came to the imperial capital in person for this matter, hoping to have the best of both worlds.”

Empress Dowager Xiao then continued, "The best of both worlds, it depends on how much sincerity you bring."

"I know that Southern Chu and Northern Zhou haven't gotten along very well these years, but it's not as if they were fighting each other. Everything before was all due to Han Xiu's will. Since the person who hindered him is dead, there is no There is nothing to worry about, Southern Chu is willing to be friends with Northern Zhou forever, and there will be no more troubles, but please rest assured that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will make good friends. From then on, Southern Chu will always have nothing but loyalty to Northern Zhou, as long as Northern Zhou does not send troops Go south to save the people of Southern Chu from suffering, I am willing to surrender to Northern Zhou, and from then on, the court of Southern Chu will obey Northern Zhou." Rong Ze said all these words without any ambiguity.

All the officials in the court could hear the meaning. It was undoubtedly that Southern Chu had surrendered to them. In fact, after the victory in the battle in the southern border, the news from the southern border came back to the imperial capital. Regarding this matter, there is a general direction to come out. , Now that the Southern Chu Emperor Rong Ze said this himself, it is tantamount to making the result clear.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xiao Luochen, noticed that Xiao Luochen nodded, and said directly according to the previous agreement: "It's the best thing for you to do this. As a king, you must let yourself The people live and work in peace and contentment, that is the real good king, what you said, the Ai family agreed, but since Southern Chu is the minister of my Northern Zhou Dynasty, then Southern Chu is no longer an independent country, but my Northern Zhou Dynasty. In part, you are no longer the emperor of Southern Chu. Since you are sincere and sincere, the Ai family will naturally not treat you poorly, so they will make you King of Chu and continue to take charge of the affairs of Southern Chu. However, all matters in Southern Chu must be reported from time to time. Every year, you have to go to the Hajj to see and pay homage, and pay tribute every year, and there must be no difference in the slightest."

Rong Ze responded, "It's natural. When the first battle in the southern border was over, I rushed to send the letter to the border. The General Ye who was guarding the southern border and the regent in the southern border saw it. The emperor explained that this alliance under the city, the agreement, is that there will be no deviations."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, "It's natural. It's a wise move not to let Southern Chu fall into greater difficulties and not let the people be displaced by the war."

"Yes." Rong Ze responded, and then said: "This time I came here, one is for the matter of sincerely submitting to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the other is for my sister's marriage, the grace of the Empress Dowager, I think, if you allow me My sister has a happy marriage, and the alliance under the city is reunited. I hope that the happiness will be more happy, wouldn't it be wonderful."

"Happiness on top of happiness?" Suddenly, all the officials in the court were talking about it, and it was obvious that this meant marriage.

Empress Dowager Xiao said firmly: "King Chu's younger sister, since the King of Chu proposed it, the Ai family naturally wants to find her. In this matter, some arrangements must be made. In the imperial capital, there are many young talents. Wen Wu, there are people of the same age in the family, everyone can look at each other, if she likes someone, it's up to the family to make the decision, but it seems a little unreasonable not to show her true face to others."

Rong Ze glanced at the people beside him. At this moment, Rong Ge slowly took off the face scarf.

Originally, this Rongge was a person with a graceful figure and a good temperament. Although he hid his face, it did not prevent him from being able to see that he was a beauty. Now that the scarf was taken off, his face was elegant, he was undoubtedly beautiful.

"The sister of King Chu is really good." Empress Dowager Xiao said, "The two of you will stay in the imperial capital for a while, so..."

Before the Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, Rong Ze bowed to the superior person, and then said: "Empress Dowager, it doesn't take much effort, I have a suitable candidate, but I don't know if the Empress Dowager can Yes."

"Who?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked back.

"Prince Regent." Rong Ze said this directly.

Immediately, everyone was a little shocked. The regent already had a princess, and she was also Ye Hou's precious son. Could it be that Rong Ze didn't know about it?Making such a request now is simply too ignorant.

"Thinking about it, you should know that the Prince Regent already has a princess by his side. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for your sister to enter the Palace of the Prince Regent." Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly.

Rong Ge blessed Fushen, and said: "The empress dowager is overhearted, Rong Ge doesn't mind those things, and Rong Ge thinks the regent is very good."

Xiao Luochen hadn't spoken at first. After all, he didn't need to worry about the matter of Nan Chu. He just needed to proceed as usual. Now that the two brothers and sisters have said this, it is impossible, " You don't mind, this king does, you think it's good, this king thinks this matter is extremely bad, it is absolutely impossible for you to enter this king's palace."

Rong Ge looked indifferent, and said slowly, "I heard that the princess regent is the young master of the Ye family. Doesn't the prince regent need to think about the long-term future? I am not a troublemaker, and I will be able to get along with him in harmony. Moreover, it seems that the prince should also consider his heirs."

"You speak directly, but this king doesn't need it." Xiao Luochen said coldly: "This king has only one concubine, no side concubine, and no concubines. As for the heirs, it must not be you who should worry about it." Yes, it's not your turn to talk about this king's matter. You want to stabilize the existing relationship by marrying relatives. There is nothing wrong with it. You can find any unmarried young talents in the imperial capital, but only this king , absolutely impossible, you better weigh it carefully before thinking about it.”

"It seems that this incident has offended the Prince Regent." Rong Ze said softly.

"It's good that you have self-knowledge." Xiao Luochen said coldly.

All of a sudden, the hall became extraordinarily quiet, and no one spoke too much.

Rong Ge said softly: "It seems that the regent and the princess have a deep relationship. If Rong Ge is so ignorant of good and bad, wouldn't it be annoying. This matter is another matter, so don't rush for a while."

While these words were being said, the people in the court hall dispersed. After Xiao Luochen went to court, he did not go to the harem, but went straight out of the palace and returned to his residence.

Outside the palace gate, brothers and sisters Rong Ze and Rong Ge watched the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace go away. Rong Ge said to Rong Ze, "Actually, from the very beginning, this matter should have been expected to happen like this. The answer is, after all, the regent and his concubine are not casual, brother thinks, what should we do now?"

"Although this road is blocked, it doesn't mean that all the roads are blocked. There will be no other problems in the things here, and we don't want to leave the imperial capital immediately."

"Elder brother has his own plans, and everything is up to elder brother." Rong Ge didn't think too much about it.

……

On this end, Xiao Luochen came out of the palace and went all the way back to the Prince Regent's Mansion. When he arrived in the backyard, he saw Ye Shuyan who was already up and washing in the bedroom, "I'll be back as soon as the morning is over. Why did Xiaoshu wake up so early?"

Ye Shuyan turned his head to look at Xiao Luochen, "It's nothing, just got up, won't my husband tell me about what happened in the hall today?"

"So, Xiaoshu knows?"

"Don't tell me my husband won't let me know?" Ye Shuyan asked directly.

"How come, there is no Xiaoshu who can't know about my affairs, but Xiaoshu knows all about the things in the court?"

"Isn't it that the princess of Nanchu wants to marry you, and wants to marry you, what else can she have?"

"Then I've told her exactly that this matter is absolutely impossible, does Xiao Shu know about it?"

"I know." Ye Shuyan pursed his lips.

Xiao Luochen moved closer to Ye Shuyan, and asked softly, "Then why does Xiaoshu still look unhappy?"

"Unhappy? Who is unhappy!" Ye Shuyan pushed Xiao Luochen away, "She is right, the prince should consider the issue of heirs."

"Oh, it turns out that Xiaoshu is unhappy about what he said!" Xiao Luochen took advantage of the situation, hugged him up, sat on his lap, and then said in a concentrated voice: "The matter of the son is not so serious. Important, to me, the little book is the most important, even if there is no heir, it doesn't matter."

Ye Shuyan heard Xiao Luochen's words, and said slowly, "Then, you have no regrets at all?"

"With Xiaoshu by my side, how can I regret it." Xiao Luochen pressed Ye Shuyan's ear, biting lightly, and said again: "Does Xiaoshu still call me so arrogantly?"

"Hmph, you are the Prince Regent, so it's normal for me to call you Prince!"

"Although that's the case, it's normal for others to call you that, but Xiaoshu can't." Xiao Luochen said vigorously.

Ye Shuyan felt that Xiao Luochen's teeth biting his ears and rubbing against his ears didn't stop, and his whole body was a little itchy, "Don't mess with my ears, husband, husband, is this okay? Don't bite, it's itchy to death gone."

"Itching to death? Xiaoshu, my husband will misunderstand what you said."

"No, you are not allowed to think about it, I don't mean that."

"People say that the best plan for a day is in the morning. When you wake up in the morning, you will inevitably feel a little more energetic, so..."

"Nothing." Ye Shuyan wanted to break away from Xiao Luochen, but he couldn't help it. Instead, he was hugged even tighter. Moreover, Xiao Luochen's heavy and hot breath had already landed on his lips, constantly Interlaced and haunting.
