Chapter 263 I Love to Argue with Others

"The sky is vast." The emperor turned his eyes and said, "After lunch today, you will take people out of the city to meet the Dongling War King."

Chu Tiankuo was stunned for a moment: "After lunch?"

"Go out of the city and wait in advance to show your sincerity." The emperor said decisively, "You are my legitimate son, so it is appropriate for me to greet the envoy on my behalf."

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Did his father ask him to make up for the losses after losing the contract gambling?

"Yes." He quickly agreed, "My son will definitely live up to his father's expectations."

"General Rong, please follow me to the imperial study to discuss matters. I have some questions to ask." The emperor looked at Rong Chen, his attitude was particularly gentle and enthusiastic, "I will not delay General Rong for too long. After the discussion, I will order someone to arrange for General Rong." Resting place.”

Rong Chen nodded: "It's an honor for the young general."

"Retreat!"

"Best regards, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"

Chu Qinghuang turned around, glanced across Rong Chen's face, and turned away calmly.

Rong Chen turned his head silently and looked at the girl's leaving figure, his eyebrows slightly twisted in thought.

"Seventh sister." Chu Tiankuo chased out quickly, and soon followed Chu Qinghuang, his tone of voice became more flattering, "I didn't expect that the Dongling envoy actually came... Look at this The contract has just been finalized and has not yet warmed up. Can you just regard it as brother's temporary hot-headedness? Seventh Sister has a broad mind and will definitely not be serious with me..."

"No." Chu Qinghuang calmly interrupted him, "I am narrow-minded and like to be serious with others."

Chu Tiankuo's face froze.

"Three days." Chu Qinghuang raised three fingers, "Although the Dongling envoy arrived two days in advance, I still want you to be the prince for three more days. After three days, you will fulfill the bet, Second Emperor Brother Be mentally prepared.”

After saying this, she walked away.

Chu Tiankuo's steps froze, and his face quickly became covered with a layer of gloom. He stared at Chu Qinghuang's leaving back and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Highness." Uncle Qin came over, "What should we do?"

Chu Tiankuo said coldly: "There must be something fishy in this."

"That's what I thought." Uncle Qin nodded, "As soon as we signed the contract, the envoy from Dongling arrived. This is a ridiculous coincidence."

Chu Tiankuo thought deeply for a moment: "Is that Rong Chen fake?"

"Your Highness suspects that the eldest princess has arranged for a fake Dongling envoy?"

"There's nothing she can't do." Chu Tiankuo said in a cold voice, "The spies I sent out last night haven't come back yet. We're not yet sure if there are any changes on the road. We can only wait for now."

According to the itinerary mentioned by Rong Chen, Dongling War King will arrive tomorrow. Even if spies are sent to check their whereabouts now, there will be no other countermeasures than wasting time.

Uncle Qin said: "If both the emperor and Chu Qinghuang accept the contract, what should we do?"

Chu Tiankuo said nothing.

He didn't know what to do either.

The murderous intention in his heart flashed away, and he thought coldly that if his prince was really demoted, the only way would be to get rid of Chu Qinghuang.

But how could Chu Qinghuang be eliminated so easily?

For the courtiers, it was a thrilling half-day.

Chu Tiankuo and Qin Guojiu felt half-hearted, but with the last glimmer of hope, they selected the manpower to greet the envoy from the palace.

Chu Qinghuang acted like a normal person. After leaving the palace, he took Fucang shopping. They visited the Mo Baozhai and the Pearl and Jade Pavilion, and bought Fucang a high-quality sapphire hairpin and two jade pendants of excellent quality.

The clothes and boots tailor-made for Fucang and Hongyu in the palace have been delivered to the eldest princess's residence. However, due to Fucang's special status, he cannot use royal-standard accessories, so it will take some time for Chu Qinghuang to get the accessories. .

Today, Chu Qinghuang took advantage of her free time to take him out and buy two jade pendants that an ordinary young man could wear.

After returning home, Chu Qinghuang asked Fucang to bring over several sets of clothes and try them on one by one. They matched them with the jade pendant and hairpin she had just bought. The black ones were calm and cold, and the white ones were pure and refined, which made the young man look outstanding and his features picturesque.

Chu Qinghuang just sat in front of the window and watched, his lazy eyes filled with appreciation and satisfaction: "Not bad."

Fucang felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Go and look in the mirror."

"Yes." Fu Cang responded softly, turned around and walked to the bronze mirror. Looking at his luxurious attire in the mirror, his expression was blank for a moment, as if he didn't know who the person in the mirror was, and he felt like a complete stranger. ,"master……"

Chu Qinghuang's voice was lazy: "Huh?"

"This subordinate feels it's a bit strange." Fucang stared at the mirror again and again, and for a moment, his eyes quietly looked at Chu Qinghuang, "I don't look like a shadow guard in these clothes."

Although he often wore robes during this period, this was the first time he looked at himself in the mirror, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Influence you to take action?"

Fucang thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "Probably not."

But if you need to perform more special tasks, then simple Jinyi will naturally be more convenient.

"Since you don't know how, just wear it like this." Chu Qinghuang held her chin, and her voice became a little lazier, "But you don't think it looks like a shadow guard, so what does it look like?"

Fucang moved his lips, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "...serve you."
