"Your Highness is right." Chu Nanyue said, "Everything has to look forward. Even without those family affections. I can live well on my own. ”

Just like she has lived in this life, since she was born again.

"I was trying to comfort you. I didn't want to, but let the Sixth Highness comfort me in turn. Chu Nanyue chuckled.

There was a more familiar feeling between them than they had been a few months ago.

Although Chu Nanyue didn't dare to say that she could fully trust Tanglin Shuo, at least compared to others, she had a sense of security for Donglin Shuo.

This is probably based on character and a lot of things they've been through together in the past few months.

Tanglin Shuo's previous expression of her emotions was also temporarily suppressed and never mentioned again.

Chu Nanyue is happy with such a safe distance. And I have to say that she and Tanglin Shuo are now colleagues, and they do things together on weekdays, and Donglin Shuo's talent and strategy make her eyes shine.

"I think, General Chu and I are friends now." Tanglin Shuo also chuckled.

His words undoubtedly echoed Chu Nanyue's heart. Although Chu Nanyue did not reply, she did not refute either.

They walked side by side outside the palace, walking very slowly. This may be the slowest time Chu Nanyue has left the palace.

The palace walls on both sides, under the cover of the night, have a more eerie feeling. But there was Donglin Shuo standing beside him, which gave Chu Nanyue a sense of stability in his heart.

Following.

Xu Qingchang came to the General's Mansion.

When Qingshuang brought people in, Chu Nanyue still had a sense of surprise.

Because of his official position, Chu Nanyue and Xu Qingchang did not communicate much. After all, he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, except for the last time he took the initiative to come over, for the sake of King Yu, he has not come to the house again.

"Lord Xu, is there something going on in our mansion today?" Chu Nanyue asked.

She couldn't help but think of the Xu family's request for him before, and then she had a headache. She looked at Xu Qingchang at the moment, and felt a little irritable again.

Xu Qingchang snorted coldly: "It's not a private matter, it's a public matter." General Chu doesn't have to worry. ”

Since the last time he had a conversation with Chu Nanyue, Xu Qingchang didn't have much of a good impression of Chu Nanyue.

Chu Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was some surprise in my heart: "Business? ”

When did the Ministry of Rites and her, the general, have official dealings.

"Your Majesty intends to add a martial arts test to the imperial examination in the court and set up a martial champion. The matter has not yet been completely settled, so many other ministers have been asked. Since General Chu has a lot of opinions on governing the army. The emperor also specially asked me to ask you. Xu Qingcheng opened his mouth to explain.

"I see." Chu Nanyue understood.

Speaking of which, because the various systems of Tanglin are all inherited from the previous dynasty, there is no military test.

Under the war in the past few years, the imperial court has paid more attention to the importance of soldiers. The emperor wanted to set up a samurai and chose a martial champion to enter the court as an official. Undoubtedly a good thing.

So Chu Nanyue said: "If you ask my opinion." Naturally, I am very much in favor of it. However, the specific matters depend on how your Ministry of Rites should deal with them. ”

In addition to the imperial examination, it is more appropriate to say that the people in the Ministry of Rites are more suitable to do it, and they also know better.

Although Xu Qingchang is a newcomer to the Ministry of Rites, the Xu family has always had a deep foundation, and he must have had a lot of contacts with the Ministry of Rites.

This is actually not a problem.

"Hmm." Xu Qingchang responded. Then he asked: "I heard that General Chu has managed the Tuntian soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing very well, and has won the praise of the emperor." ”

His words seemed to be unintentional, but Chu Nanyue heard the implicit inquiry.

It's no wonder that for this little thing today, Xu Qingchang can send the rest of the Ministry of Rites to run.

Since he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, why should he do everything himself.

It can be seen that today's encounter is not in vain.

"It's nothing more than thinking more about everything and sharing worries for Your Majesty." Chu Nanyue didn't want to answer him in depth.

Xu Qingchang saw that he couldn't find anything, and his face was annoyed, but he didn't show it.

He didn't want to sit for a long time, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye.

But Chu Nanyue suddenly remembered Chu Nanxin, who was very different yesterday.

This marriage, since Chu Nanxin is unwilling, what does Xu Qingchang think? What is the attitude of the Xu family?

She also wanted to find out more about the meaning of the Xu family, not for Chu Nanxin, but to guess that after getting married, the Xu family might come together with the Chu family to deal with her. Then she will be in more danger.

"Lord Xu, are you going to marry the second miss of the Chu family?" Chu Nanyue asked.

"I didn't expect General Chu's news to be so well-informed." Xu Qingchang looked at her, but he didn't care in his tone that she suddenly asked.

"Not that I'm well-informed. Although you are not really publicized, but the Xu family is everyone after all, and there is really news of marriage, how can no one know about it in the capital. Chu Nanyue said.

Even if she hadn't asked Qingshuang to find out the news before, the news would have reached her ears sooner or later. What's more, Chu Nanxin told her the news in person last night, and begged for his help.

"That's right. My Xu family is naturally from a prominent family. Xu Qingchang's tone was arrogant, "Your Chu family is really high." ”

He said this, but he didn't mean anything respectful, as if he was laughing.

His eyes wandered over Chu Nanyue's body, and he continued: "If General Chu hadn't cut off ties with the Chu family, I would have preferred to marry Miss Chu than Chu Nanxin." ”

Chu Nanyue heard the disrespect in his mouth and pointed at himself, and began to be displeased.

His contemptuous attitude made her eyes colder and colder.

"Lord Xu better have more self-respect." Chu Nanyue's tone was full of warning.

Seeing that Chu Nanyue was really angry, he hurriedly said a little respectfully: "Yes, yes!" I'm just joking, speaking of which, Chu Nanxin is your sister, but I want to call you big sister. ”

Chu Nanyue refused: "That's not necessary." I have nothing to do with the Chu family. It has nothing to do with Chu Nanxin. In the same court, I just need to say congratulations to Lord Xu. ”

Xu Qingchang's arrogance made Chu Nanyue understand most of it.

Probably for the Xu family, choosing to marry the daughter of the Chu family is indeed lowering his posture. If it is like before, it is estimated that it is unwilling.

Before she could ask, she heard Xu Qingchang take the initiative to say, "Congratulations, it's not necessary." Marrying the Chu family is just the most suitable way now. His tone was flat. It seems that it is not himself who wants to marry Chu Nanxin. Rather, an inconsequential person.

Unlike Chu Nanxin, who tried every means to cancel the marriage, Xu Qingchang's acceptance was too bland and too natural.

Chu Nanyue and the Xu family don't have much contact, but they don't think that Xu Qingchang has seen Chu Nanxin a few times. will be really devoted to Chu Nanxin.

"Lord Xu's reaction was very flat." Chu Nanyue said.

"What about the blandness? Is it possible to rebel against the family and abandon the interests of the family for the sake of oneself? Xu Qingchang's tone finally revealed some seriousness.

He was telling the truth. For the good of the family. In the eyes of the children of these families, marriage is nothing more than an exchange of interests, and has never had anything to do with personal joy and anger.
