Chapter 52
Chapter 52
When Chu Xuanchi entered the door, all the maids and eunuchs slowly came to their senses and saluted him one after another: "See King Xuan."

He ignored it, and went straight to the Empress Dowager Ci Ning at the back of the hall, and said softly, "I have seen the emperor's grandmother."

Afterwards, he casually glanced at Concubine Jin and Concubine Hua, and he said hello, then turned around and came to Prince Mu, nodded and said, "Uncle Sixth Emperor."

"I haven't seen you for a year, Chi'er has grown strong again." Prince Mu stood up and motioned him to sit down beside him.

Chu Xuanchi sat down with him, and then nodded to Concubine Yi, who was opposite him. Whether he was a prince or a god of war, in the dynasty that was respected by martial arts, in the entire Chu country, it could be said that one person was less than ten thousand. He has privileges for these concubines in the harem, and they don't need to salute.

Therefore, no one thought his attitude was arrogant, but was dazzled by his indifferent attitude.

After Chu Xuanchi took his seat, he just took a sip of the tea offered by his servants and did not speak.

The Empress Dowager Ci Ning and the two concubines beside her looked at each other, then looked at the outstanding young man below, and said with a gentle smile: "Chier, how is your life after returning to the imperial city? Are you still used to it?"

"The emperor's grandson doesn't have high demands, and he can live freely no matter where he is. The queen mother doesn't need to worry." His voice was faint, deep and magnetic, with an innate ethereal aura, which made everyone in the audience be enthralled. Like drunk, like spring breeze.

How can someone look so good, have such a nice voice, and even be a prince of noble status, extraordinary background, extraordinary ability, and unparalleled in the world?

Such a man is the dream object of many girls!

Empress Dowager Ci Ning is also very fond of her grandson, among so many grandchildren, she believes that her Chi'er is the most outstanding.

It's just a pity that such an outstanding Chi'er has been unwilling to get married for so many years, so that the Southern King, Cloud King, and even the Northern King behind him have always used him as a shield. If you are not married, you are not in a hurry.

So this time Empress Dowager Ci Ning secretly made up her mind, no matter what, she must let the fourth grandson complete her lifelong mission, otherwise, he would be stuck there, and the disobedient little ones behind would follow suit and insist on Don't be mad at her.

This person has grown up so much, replaced by men from other royal families, and even has several children. As their grandmother, how can she allow things to continue like this?
"Chi'er, the Ai family came to see you this time to discuss something with you," she said.

"Please speak, Queen Mother."

"Chi'er, the Ai family knows that you are busy with work, and you haven't had a good rest recently, and the Ai family doesn't want to waste your time." The Empress Dowager Ci Ning paused for a while before continuing: "The Ai family and the concubines also After discussing it, I plan to set up a concubine selection banquet for you, I don't know Chi'er..."

"Empress Dowager, my grandson has been running on the battlefield all year round, and he won't stay in the imperial city for long. If we get married, I'm afraid he will kill a girl." He flatly refused.

"What is Chi'er talking about? How can anyone use this excuse to block the marriage?" Concubine Jin, who was sitting next to Empress Dowager Ci Ning, looked at him, with a flash of reproach in her eyes: "Chi'er is not a lot this year, Nearly 25 years old, a man of your age, where in the royal family is there a man like you who has not yet married? Let alone married, there are even several children in other families, not to mention that if you are not married, neither is our Jiangnan family. If you are willing to get married, what should you do with a mother like Bengong?"

The relationship between Concubine Jin and Concubine Chu Xuanchi is not bad, he often lived with Concubine Jin when he was a child, so when Concubine Jin talked to him, she was not as stiff as other empresses.

When she said that, Chu Xuanchi didn't know how to refute it.

That kid in Jiangnan used him as an excuse not to get married, and he knew about it, not to mention Jiangnan, even Liuyun and Dingbei were the same, but he was really innocent when he asked himself, they didn't want to get married, it was actually them What does it have to do with him?
"No matter what, the Ai family has discussed this matter with your father. The concubine selection banquet is imperative. The Ai family just came to talk to Chi Er. In two days, the Ai family will order someone to send a batch of picture scrolls. , it would be best if Chi'er likes someone, if not, the Ai family will draw up a decree to recruit unmarried women from all over the city, and select beauties for Chi'er."

The queen mother is really imperative this time: "There are so many beauties in the imperial city, Aijia believes that Chi'er will always like it."

Chu Xuanchi didn't speak, since she had already discussed with her father, she came here only to tell him something, not to discuss with him at all.

They do their own thing, and it is up to him whether he wants to attend or not, and no one else can interfere.

How could Empress Dowager Ci Ning and the other empresses not know his thoughts?However, the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet tall, so they will naturally have a way to force him to submit.

However, what made them worry was that they could barely force him to participate in the concubine selection banquet, but getting married was really difficult. Could it be that they really had to put a knife on his neck and force him into the bridal chamber?

However, everyone knew very well that the person who dared to press his neck with a knife in today's world was probably not born yet.

What the women said to him afterwards, Chu Xuanchi had almost forgotten everything, only the chattering in his ears didn't seem to stop for a moment, and in the end it was the helpless Prince Mu who rescued him. He: "I haven't seen you in a year. I still have a lot of tactical matters that I want to ask my nephew for advice. I wonder when my nephew will be free?"

"There is now." Chu Xuanchi said anxiously, he was eager to leave this hall immediately, all he was talking about was choosing a concubine and marriage, and he couldn't even arouse the slightest interest.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Ci Ning took Yang Shishi's hand aside, pulled her to her, looked at Chu Xuanchi, and said with a smile: "Her name is Shishi, she is my natal niece, she just arrived in the imperial city recently, mourning The family wants her to stay and take care of Chi'er, what does Chi'er think?"

Chu Xuanchi glanced casually. If she didn't say anything, he really didn't notice the existence of this girl.

He just glanced at him and didn't even see her face clearly, so he waved his hands and said: "I don't have many maidservants in Prince Xuan's Mansion, and I don't like maidservants, so the queen mother should keep her by her side to serve her."

What he said is true, there are no more than five maidservants in the entire Xuanwang Mansion, but there are a lot of servants, and a few maidservants are left to deal with these elders from the palace, just like today, there should always be maidservants to entertain them.

As for Chu Xuanchi himself, he didn't need women to wait around him, and he didn't like the way they came to him with their limbs weak and ready to collapse at any time, which would upset him.

"Uncle Liuhuang, I have recently obtained several sets of military books, why don't we study them together."

Prince Mu was in a bit of a dilemma, he could ignore other things, but this Yang Shishi was told by the Empress Dowager herself that he wanted him to recommend it to Chu Xuanchi, she was from the Empress Dowager's natal family, and she intended to let her stay by King Xuan's side.

He pursed his lips and looked at Chu Xuanchi, then glanced at Yang Shishi, and then said with a smile: "This king thinks this girl is quite beautiful, and it happened that this king brought some tea, so I asked this girl to give it to her in the study." Let's make some clear tea, so that we can study and taste the new tea I brought back from Jiangnan."

Now that he had said so, Chu Xuanchi couldn't postpone it, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and leave the hall, leaving a group of people here.

Prince Mu went out together with him, as for Yang Shishi, she just looked at his back, completely unaware of what she should do.

Seeing her lost soul, Empress Dowager Ci Ning's complexion sank, she coughed twice, and said displeasedly: "Shishi, aren't you going to make tea for Uncle Six and Chi'er?"

"Yes... yes, Shishi understands." Yang Shishi came back to her senses suddenly, bowed to her, and after bowing to several empresses, hurriedly chased after her.

"I see that this girl has been stunned by King Xuan." Concubine Jin laughed.

Empress Dowager Ci Ning snorted, and said helplessly: "It's all because Aijia's grandson is so charming. If Aijia is 40 years younger, I'm afraid he will be fascinated too."

"The empress dowager really knows how to joke. It's not because the empress dowager gave birth to an outstanding emperor that she gave birth to such an outstanding grandson." Concubine Hua Gui on the side also said with a smile.

Although she knew that these words were to make herself happy, Empress Dowager Ci Ning was still very happy in her heart, but she didn't know if Shi Shi could take care of her Chi'er, if she could get closer, that would be the best.

Although the current state of Chu seems to be peaceful, the King of Chu has given birth to so many outstanding princes, and now all of them have been crowned kings as adults. The power in the court has gradually begun to divide. At this time, who can control King Xuan, the patron saint of the Chu Kingdom, took it back for his own use. In future power struggles, whoever can take the upper hand.

There is a saying in the outside world that if King Xuan does not fall, the state of Chu will remain prosperous forever. One can imagine the importance of King Xuan to the state of Chu.

No matter who will control the world in the future, as long as her Chi'er will always protect her, she will be able to be her empress dowager, or empress dowager.

This time, she placed great expectations on Yang Shishi, and hoped that girl would not disappoint her...

Going back is another carriage ride.

The horse walked at a steady pace, with steady steps, and only felt a slight sway when sitting in the carriage. Qi Qi wanted to fall down and sleep for a while, but after all, she was pressed down by Chu Xuanchi in the early morning and couldn't sleep at all.

But, before she fell down, Hualing Court had already arrived.

The carriage stopped in an alley not far from Gao Qiang, and Fei Jing, who was driving the carriage, jumped down and said to the carriage curtain, "Seventh Princess, we are here."

Qi Qi opened the curtain, Fei Jing was going to help her get off the horse, but suddenly remembered how he bullied her back then, she immediately retracted her outstretched hand, squatted down beside the carriage, patted herself on the shoulder and said, : "Princess, step on this subordinate and get off the horse."

Qi Qi frowned lightly, shook her head and said with a smile, "Brother Fei, are you sleepy?"

How can she be so delicate?What's more, she is not his master.
