Cheng Yu wanted to ask for the marriage decree immediately, but Emperor Mingde promised to make the decision for him in the spring of the next year. If he continued to ask for it, it seemed that he was suspicious of Emperor Mingde. A gentleman promised a thousand gold, and the emperor said something even more. The emperor agreed to him and asked for it. Afraid of worrying that there would be another variable in the middle, that is, he was worried that Emperor Mingde's promise was useless?

You cannot get more and more in front of the emperor.

"Don't think too much about the treasure. My father promised in front of you and me, and he would not change his words in the future." Walking outside the palace gate, King Ding patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder.

Cheng Yu put away his worries for the time being and bowed to him, "Thank you for your second brother today. I will never refuse if I have any questions in the future."

With Gu Lan in hand, Gu Heng would never dare to cause trouble for his sister Hanzhu on the surface unless he was so crazy that he ignored his sister's life.

King Ding punched him and laughed and scolded, "Why are you rude to me?" Cheng Yu pulled him back from the gate of hell at least three times. What's the little thing he helped him? Looking up at the sky, tomorrow is in the sky. It was lunch time. King Ding looked at the direction of his palace and asked, "Go to my place to have a drink? Or go back to the house to watch the show?"

King Jing and his wife still have a lot of mess to be repaid. If they weren't afraid that King Jing would be angry, King Ding would really want to go over and take a look.

Cheng Yu shook his head, "I have something to do. Second brother, let's go back first. I'll invite you to drink somewhere else."

"I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine." King Ding turned over and laughed and joked, and rode his horse away.

Cheng Yu also got on his horse, hesitated for a moment in front of the empty street, and headed towards the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.

When he arrived at the Yunyang Marquis' Mansion, he was stopped again by the guards' duty. "Mr. Cousin, the Marquis's instructing him that he was not at home, so he was not allowed to enter the mansion. Please also understand the difficulties of our wait."

Cheng Yu didn't expect that Chu Qing would be so unreasonable when she agreed to the marriage. Just as she was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the entrance of the alley. Cheng Yu turned his head and saw Chu Yuan riding on the horse, slowly coming slowly. Cheng Yu's heart moved, and when Chu Yuan got off the horse, he walked over and said, "I just heard a news in the palace. It's a big deal. I wonder if Bo Yuan can take a step to speak?"

Chu Yuan looked at him and walked under a tree outside the door, which meant to be talking outside.

Cheng Yu instantly remembered his suspicion of Chu Yuan's heart. Chu Yuan didn't want him to go in, so he insisted on going in and lowered his voice: "This matter also has something to do with Ling Mei, so it's better for us to go into the mansion."

Chu Yuan frowned, and saw Cheng Yu's attitude that he would not speak without taking him in, but his expression was a little solemn. He looked not just to deceive people, so he led him to the Marquis's mansion. When he passed by the guard, he said lightly: "I'll invite the young master to go to my place for tea. When the Marquis comes back, you just need to push the matter on me."

His words worked better than the eldest and third masters. There was a stolen person on his back, and the guards retreated back to their original place with peace of mind.

Chu Yuan asked Cheng Yu to go to his study.

Cheng Yu did not keep his composure anymore and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is going to have a talent show next year. The decree should be delivered in the next few days. The daughters of officials above the fifth rank will run for the election. The emperor has promised to marry my cousin and me at that time. If you don't want to let your sister enter the palace, it's best to find a way before the decree comes down."

Chu Yuan felt a chill in his heart. Cheng Yu was a clan. If the emperor pointed the eldest daughter of the Chu family to Cheng Yu as his wife, it would be impossible to let many princesses in the Chu family. Chu Qing of the Chu family was a favorite minister. His father and third uncle were both ordinary ministers. The third sister did not have to worry about filial piety. His sister had outstanding appearance and gentle temperament. She had a little reputation in the capital. Once she entered the palace, she was very likely to be accused of being a concubine for the princes, or even attracted by the emperor and accepted into the palace.

Almost at the same time, Chu Yuan thought of his close friend who was far away from the northwest, Li Congming, the eldest son of the general of Zhenbei. They were usually aged. When his sister was only eleven years old, Li Congming was stunned when he saw her sister and even swore that he would keep her sister as his wife. Chu Yuan was afraid that he would come to be aware of the two meeting. Li Congming was soon sent to guard the northwest, but the boy would write letters every year to inquire about his sister. This year, Mrs. Li also tested her mother's meaning, and her mother couldn't bear to marry her early, so she didn't give her a reply.

If there was no talent show, Chu Yuan would definitely have to wait for Li Congming to come back and ask his sister to see it before considering the marriage, but now, he can only make a decision quickly.

He stood up and saluted Cheng Yu solemnly, "Remind of Lord Xie Cheng."

Cheng Yu avoided the side and said politely: "Boyuan doesn't need to thank me. I have something to ask for. Today, our mansion will have a banquet. It was arranged by my father for my choice of marriage. My cousin must be very worried. Please ask Boyuan to arrange it for me and let me see her and explain the two things clearly together."

Chu Yuan's fist tightened and he said after a long time, "It's time to have a meal soon. You can go to the guest room to have a meal first. I'll send someone to call you after you've arranged."

Cheng Yu bowed and thanked him.

Chu Yuan didn't look at him anymore and went straight to his mother to discuss his sister's marriage.

In the Lotus Courtyard, Hanzhu had dinner with A Xun. The brother and brother walked around the yard and went back to the house to rest. First, coaxed A Xun to sleep. Hanzhu returned to her house, took off her outer shirt and lay down to sleep, but Ruyi walked in with a strange look, "Girl, the second girl sent someone to pass on the message, saying that the eldest young master's study has added some new books, and the second girl invites you to come over and take a look."

As he said that, he handed her a folded note, "This is a book list."

Hanzhu took it curiously, and saw that there was only one surname written on the note. She had seen the handwriting from Chu Qiang, which was written by Chu Yuan.

Is it Cheng Yu here? How did he find Chu Yuan to help?

Hanzhu was very embarrassed when she thought of the two of them having a private meeting under Chu Yuan's nose, but she wanted to know the situation in Prince Jing's mansion today. She didn't bother to be tempted and tried to calmly say to the two maids: "Then Ruyi will accompany me, Sixi stayed here to take care of the young master, and I'll go back."

Sixi obediently agreed and went to the west room to guard A Xun.

Hanzhu cleaned up again, picked up a long skirt with white background embroidered green calyx and plum blossoms on her head, and put it on her hairpin. Because it was still warm at noon, she did not tie her cloak anymore and led Ruyi out. When she arrived at the East Courtyard, there was a servant next to Chu Yuan leading the way for him.

The closer he got to the study, the faster Hanzhu's heartbeat. He didn't know that there was only Cheng Yu or Chu Yuan in the study. Whether he was there or not, she would be embarrassed to see Chu Yuan again after today? Cheng Yu is really, she would rather he come quietly at night than want him to tell others.

Maybe there is something urgent, he can't wait for the evening?

After all, I still couldn't bear to blame him, so I finally found an excuse for him.

"You wait here, I'll find my second sister inside." The study room was also divided into internal and external rooms. Hanzhu stood at the door of the inner room and whispered.

Ruyi had already guessed that his second master should have come, and nodded tactfully.

Hanzhu walked in with a slightly red face. When she put down the curtain, she saw a familiar figure standing between the two bookshelfs inside. She was wearing a dark robe. At first glance, she looked as cold as green pine. Although she had seen her twice at night, she was all confused. The last time she met during the day was early October, and it had been almost a month since she met again. When she met again, Hanzhu always felt that Cheng Yu had lost weight...

Wanting to take a closer look, he looked at her straight, but Hanzhu didn't dare to look at it. She lowered her head slightly and walked over, whispering: "Why are you here?"

Only a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Yu held her hand and pulled her inside. It was quite spacious when he walked past the bookshelf, and the two seemed to be so crowded. They were so close that Hanzhu suddenly couldn't walk anymore. He held her shoulder and let her lean on the bookshelf. She leaned obediently. He came over and faced her face. Hanzhu blushed nervously and turned her head and said, "Is it okay on the side of the palace?"

She was beautiful and fragrant. Cheng Yu couldn't see it. When he saw it, he thought even more. He didn't dare to be too abrupt. He just held her hand first and put it on his chest. "It's okay, he wanted to promise Gu Lan to me, but in the end he backfired. King Ding accepted Gu Lan as his concubine. You can rest assured in the future. Gu Lan was trapped in the Ding Palace. Life and death were all the things that King Ding said. Gu Heng would never dare to reveal your identity."

Although Hanzhu made the worst plan and knew that Gu Heng would not dare to kill him, he heard this and felt like he was a pacifier and was completely unafraid. He just didn't quite understand how Gu Lan became King Ding's concubine.

Cheng Yu explained it briefly. After hearing this, Hanzhu felt a little complicated. Gu Lan had a bad temper, but...

"Compared with the safety of your sisters, let alone just delaying her life, I will not be ruthless even if I kill her." Cheng Yu lowered his head and looked at her eyes to teach her, "Hanzhu, if you want to live well in the capital, you can't be too kind. If you think she is pitiful, think of your father."

Hanzhu lowered her eyes and her expression dimmed, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I won't be stubborn."

Cheng Yu didn't believe it very much, so he pinched her hand and said, "Then you laugh and show me, I'll believe it."

He was not serious, Hanzhu was both ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't help but want to withdraw his hand. This doomed thing, like a beast hunting a rabbit. The rabbit was motionless, and the beast would confront her for a moment. Once she moved, the beast would immediately pounce on her and completely turn the prey into something in her palm.

Cheng Yu was the beast. She was holding it back and she wanted to hide. He could no longer suppress his longing. He hooked her belt into his arms and pressed her lips down.

She was his girl, but he could only ask Chu Yuan to build a bridge to see her. He could only talk to her in Chu Yuan's study, and he could only say a quarter of an hour. Thinking that Chu Yuan also coveted Hanzhu, maybe he was waiting outside for time to separate them, Cheng Yu felt angry and wanted to marry her and go home immediately.

"Hanzhu..." He called her silently, his arms tighter and tighter.
