Chapter 557: Take a Leave
Although marriage has always been the order of parents and matchmakers, Chu Xuanyi has no intention of resisting his marriage, but because marriage is a lifelong matter for two people, in order to avoid many troubles caused by inappropriateness after getting married, He decided to get to know Miss Pan first.
Chu Xuanyi, who was born in Prince Rong's palace, has a calm temperament and does not often talk about the principles of a gentleman. However, he is mostly aboveboard in his actions and will not easily do things that are inconsistent with ethics.
So it is definitely not possible to visit the boudoir at night.
But he had to be on duty during the day and could only choose to meet at night.
After much consideration, Chu Xuanyi chose the most direct method - sending someone to send an invitation to the Pan family girl in Yun Yao's name, inviting her to come to Prince Rong's Mansion for a reunion.
Originally, he wanted to make an appointment to meet at the teahouse, but considering that there were so many talkative people outside, if it didn't work out and Miss Pan met him again, it would inevitably affect her reputation.
Inviting her to the house in Yunyao's name can at least on the surface avoid being bound by the rules of non-intimate relationships between men and women.
This proposal was rejected by Yunyao.
"It is impossible for a normal girl to go out at night. This request is unreasonable." Yun Yao said bluntly, "Even if the invitation is in my name, it is against the rules."
Chu Xuanyi remained silent.
Probably because he had been with Her Majesty the Queen for a long time, he often saw that Her Majesty the Queen regarded rules as nothing. No matter it was day or night, she would leave the palace as soon as she wanted to, so that he temporarily ignored that ordinary girls were not allowed to go out at night.
"Let's make an appointment tomorrow. Invite her to come over to enjoy the flowers." Chu Yunyao said, and couldn't help but smile, "Mother just discussed your marriage with Mrs. Pan yesterday. Now that I invite her over, Ms. Pan must understand. What's going on?"
Chu Xuanyi nodded when he heard this and said nothing more.
Early the next morning, Chu Xuanyi went to the palace for duty and brought Chu Xuanyu into the palace.
"Your Majesty." After Chu Xuanyi paid his respects, he said respectfully and bluntly, "Xuanyu has been resting for three days. I would like to ask you to take him into the palace to meet Your Majesty, and to wish Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Emperor well."
Chu Qinghuang sat aside and read the memorial. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Let him come in."
"yes."
Chu Xuanyu walked into Changming Palace, knelt down respectfully and saluted: "General Chu Xuanyu is here to see Her Majesty the Queen. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
He raised his eyes slightly and saw the young man standing next to Chu Qinghuang. He was wearing a dark black robe embroidered with brocade and python patterns. He had a slim and tall figure, a handsome and cold face, and a cold aura.
No need to ask, he already guessed who this person was.
Chu Xuanyu lowered his head: "I will see you at the end of your visit, Your Majesty the Emperor. I am a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him and said calmly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Qinghuang looked at him carefully: "The world says that after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. You have been training in the military camp for two years, and you seem to have made great progress every time we meet."
Chu Xuanyu was humble: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I will not be able to deserve it."
This humble attitude is also very different from the past.
Chu Qinghuang knew that the military camp was a place to train people, and he was happy to see Chu Xuanyu's current state. His tone was more relaxed: "Is there anything else?"
"No, I just want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty and His Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Chu Xuanyu said respectfully, "I also want to thank Her Majesty the Queen for your tolerance and restraint on me, which made the general change like he is today."
When Chu Qinghuang heard this, he smiled faintly: "To be honest, I never thought you would change so much. The tolerance I showed you at the beginning was just for the sake of King Rong and your brother, and it had little to do with you yourself. ”
But later, she did ask Chu Chuxuanyi to discipline his younger brother well, so as not to ruin Prince Rong's palace one day.
Children from ordinary people's homes can be beaten if they make mistakes, but if a dandy comes out of a prince's home, the consequences will often be serious.
"General, I understand." Chu Xuanyu said, "But we should still thank Her Majesty the Queen."
Chu Qinghuang hummed, just thank her, she would just accept it.
"Your Majesty, I have a request. I wonder if your Majesty can grant it." Chu Xuanyi said, "I would like to take a leave of absence."
"Take leave? When?"
"It's time to leave the palace, but it's not time to return."
Chu Qinghuang thought about it for a moment, "Shouldn't you go home for dinner?"
"Let's eat by the way." Chu Xuanyi said, "There is one more important thing than eating."
Chu Qinghuang nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Having said this, it was obvious that there was nothing else to do, so the two brothers naturally resigned.
Chu Qinghuang pondered briefly: "Two hours of leave? Fucang, what do you think?"
"It should have something to do with the marriage." Fucang said, "Prince Rong's Palace went to Pan's house yesterday and discussed Chu Xuanyi's marriage with Mrs. Pan."
