The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 23 Invite Princess Yu to enter the palace
The Imperial Palace, in the Palace of Kunning.

The Empress Lu of the Southern Dynasties sat in the upper position in a graceful and luxurious body, and the noble concubine sat in the lower position.

Chu Lian knelt in the hall with an aggrieved face.

"Emperor Niang, Er Niang, you must make the decisions for your ministers in this matter today. Today, the third brother slapped me in front of the fourth brother who just returned to the capital and so many people in the capital. That's all, but he is blatantly trying to hit the two mothers in the face."

After the matter returned to Chu Lian's release of Chu Yu from Nanshi, he brought Chu Nan back to the palace with a full face of anger.

Walking on the corridor paved with bluestone, Chu Nan looked at the exquisite and gorgeous white jade railings and the glazed palace eaves glistening in the sun.

Once upon a time, the imperial palace was his favorite place, because there was a gentle and loving mother and concubine who always smiled, but...
When he regained his senses, seeing Chu Lian's aggressive appearance, Chu Nan couldn't help but ask.

"Fifth brother, do you want to report what happened in the busy city today like your father?"

Chu Lian snorted.

"Of course, Chu Yu must be punished so that I won't be slapped by him in vain."

Chu Nan was dressed in a plain brocade robe and smiled slightly.

"Fourth brother thinks this is just a bad idea."

Bad move?

Chu Lian looked at Chu Nan with some doubts, frowned, looked up and down the prince who left Beijing and raised him in a Buddhist temple, and spoke with some disdain.

"How to say?"

Chu Nan slightly opened his lips.

"It is really difficult for the father to punish the third brother. Although I am not in the capital, I also know that the father prefers the third brother."

It is well known that the emperor prefers Chu Yu, and Chu Lian was a little frustrated when he mentioned this, and stopped, feeling a little impatient.

"Then what do you say?"

Chu Nan also stopped, standing tall in the long corridor, looking from a distance, he in the plain brocade robe was like a person in a painting.

"As a prince, you would have lost the royal face by making a move in the downtown area, but you are the one who provoked the trouble. If you report back like the father, your behavior will definitely offend Longyan. If this matter is passed on to the father by other people , Father asked again, then you will show weakness and say that you know your mistake, it's just that third brother was seriously injured after the attack, so he didn't come to plead guilty in time, then you can be exempted from punishment."

The more Chu Nan heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He just called him a casual name, but Chu Yu gave him a firm slap.

how?

Now you want him to show weakness and avoid punishment?
"Now I'm injured, even if the emperor is biased, he won't look at me injured and ignore it."

Chu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How to do it can only be decided by the fifth brother."

The two of them continued to walk towards the Palace of Qinzheng with the palace servants.

Along the way, the more Chu Lian thought about it, the more he felt that what Chu Nan said seemed to make sense.

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Chu Lian called to stop Chu Nan, and looked at him with probing eyes.

"Are you really at a Buddhist temple when you're not in Kyoto?"

Chu Nan smiled slightly.

"nature."

Chu Lian did not suspect him, and led Chu Nan into the Hall of Qinzheng.

According to Chu Nan's suggestion, he did not talk about today's affairs like the emperor, and resigned on the pretext of feeling unwell.

But when he was supposed to leave the palace, he still felt aggrieved, so he simply changed his way to pay his respects to his mother, concubine Ling and noble concubine Lin.

Concubine Ling is a relative of the queen, and now she is upright and favored. When she heard that her son was slapped by Chu Yu, she felt distressed and angry.

I invited the imperial doctor in the palace to check the pulse, and I was relieved after confirming that there was nothing serious.

Concubine Ling looked at Chu Lian who was crying out that the medicine was painful while drinking the medicine, and she was so angry that she smashed several white jade porcelain bottles one after another, and the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace knelt down on the ground.

"The imperial concubine calm down."

The imperial concubine flicked the wide sleeves of the brocade robe.

"Get out of here, Bengong."

Only after she and Chu Lian were left in the palace did Lin sit panting on the imperial concubine chair.

"What a Chu Yu. No one relies on him to be so arrogant. Do you really treat it as a display for me?"

Seeing his concubine mother getting angry, Chu Lian couldn't help booing from the sidelines.

"Emiang, Erchen just said three words about the unfavored concubine Yu Xiaojiao, and he got angry. This is obviously an excuse to do something to Erchen."

Concubine Ling frowned, listening to Chu Lian's words.

"Princess Yu is not favored?"

Chu Lian nodded, and told Concubine Ling all about the wedding in Prince Yu's Mansion in Jingdu.

After Ling Guifei thought about it, she took Chu Lian to the Kunning Hall to discuss with Queen Lu.

Queen Lu listened to Chu Lian's words, looked at Chu Lian calmly, and then showed a loving smile.

"You are also naughty, how can you judge your sister-in-law like this in the street?"

Chu Lian knelt there, still dissatisfied.

"My son made a mistake in his words for a while, but the third brother shot at me without asking, it's too much."

Empress Lu naturally knew about Chu Yu's excessiveness and rudeness.

Empress Lu was the empress of the Southern Dynasty. After Chu Yu's mother and concubine were murdered, the emperor originally intended to foster Chu Yu under the empress's name, but Chu Yu didn't know what to do, and would rather bring the wet nurse and servants to live in the extension where Concubine Yu died. There was no one to take care of the Palace of Jubilee and he didn't want to come to the Palace of Kunning. This clearly didn't take her, the Queen Mother, seriously.

Now that the princes have reached the age of marriage, as the lord of the harem, she is naturally in charge of the selection of concubines by the princes, but Chu Yu repeatedly rejected the woman she recommended, and instead asked for a marriage order to marry a Zuo Du Yu Shi's daughter, once again slapped her, the queen, in the face.

In the harem, the Empress Lu's position is stable, and her son Chu Wen's crown prince has been announced to the world. It gave Empress Lu a headache, she was arrogant and domineering, she was cold and lonely, dragging a pair of useless legs, she couldn't beat her, and she couldn't be punished, but the emperor still wanted to take sides, so Empress Lu could only look down on Chu Yu these years.

At this moment, Chu Lian pointed directly at Chu Yu, and Empress Lu could only persuade him with good words.

"Yu'er is a bit stubborn, but he hasn't had his mother and concubine by his side since he was a child, and the emperor loves him so much, he should be a little bit arrogant, just let him in as much as you can."

Concubine Ling was puzzled by what Queen Lu said.

"Sister, Chu Yu has ignored you several times, why are you still speaking for him?"

Empress Lu drank a cup of tea lightly, and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"Sister, let them deal with the princes, they are all men, there is no time when they are all kind."

Thinking of why Chu Lian mentioned this matter, Empress Lu said something casually with a smile.

"Yu'er's concubine has not yet entered the palace to pay her respects, so I don't know what's going on?"

A hint of calculation flashed in Ling Guifei's eyes, she stood up and responded.

"Sister, Princess Yu has now received a jade medal, so she should enter the palace to pay her respects."

Empress Lu raised her eyebrows slightly, and nodded slightly while holding the tea cup.

"Since that's the case, Mother Su, send someone to Prince Yu's Mansion to send a message, and ask Princess Yu to come into the palace tomorrow."

Yuwangfu Changyintai.

The melodious and melodious opera singing came out from Changyintai.

Chu Yu sat in the center of the Changyin stage, and the actors with heavy makeup on the stage babbled and sang, and Chu Yu's slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the Eight Immortals table beside him.

Ze Lan pushed the door open and came in calmly. After closing the door of Changyintai, she walked behind Chu Yu and whispered back.

"Master, someone from the palace will invite Princess Yu into the palace tomorrow."

Chu Yu's fingers tapping on the table paused, and after a while, the voice sounded again, and Chu Yu spoke coldly.

"Then let her go."
