Chapter 395 Before the Queen's Ceremony, the Wedding Rings Must Be Made

At the palace gate.

Chief Steward Lin stood outside the palace gate, looking up. When he saw General Chu and others riding horses, he smiled and took a few steps forward.

General Chu and his son looked at Steward Lin who was standing outside the palace gate and exchanged glances.

Isn’t this Steward Lin from Prince An’s Mansion? He has even risen to the position of Chief Steward.

After General Chu and the others dismounted, Chief Steward Lin bowed and said, "I, the chief steward, am here to greet General Chu and Major General Chu by the Emperor's order."

"Thank you all for your hard work along the way." Chief Steward Lin said, bowing to the dusty soldiers behind him.

General Chu chuckled and said, "You're too polite, Chief Steward Lin."

"Then please invite General Chu and his son to come with me to the palace to meet the emperor!" said Chief Steward Lin with a smile.

After meeting the emperor, go home and reunite with your family!

General Chu nodded slightly.

He and Chu Haoxuan took off their swords and handed them to the soldiers accompanying them.

"You guys find a place to wait."

"We obey your command." The soldiers bowed and clasped their fists.

After General Chu made all the arrangements, he said to Chief Steward Lin, "Thank you for your help, Chief Steward Lin."

Chief Steward Lin waved his hand and said, "General Chu, you are too polite."

"Okay, let's go into the palace!"

"General Chu, please!"

After General Chu took a step forward, Chief Steward Lin hurriedly followed.

The imperial guards guarding the palace gate clasped their hands and said, "We greet General Chu and Major General Chu."

"No need to formalize, everyone." After saying this, General Chu walked into the palace gate.

As military commanders, General Chu and his son walked with great vigor.

Manager Lin looked at the father and son who were striding forward and tried his best to keep up with them.

Alas, it’s too tiring for my old legs to travel with them.

The three of them walked to the door of the imperial study, and the palace servants bowed and saluted: "Your servant greets General Chu and Major General Chu."

"Meeting Manager Lin."

"No need to be so polite!" Manager Lin said panting.

"General Chu, General Chu, I will go in..."

Xiao Chengjin listened to the noise outside and shouted to the door, "Manager Lin, bring General Chu and his son in!"

"I obey your command."

"General Chu, Major General Chu, please come in!" Chief Steward Lin made a gesture of invitation.

General Chu and his son entered the imperial study one after another and immediately knelt and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Xiao Chengjin looked at the father and son who were in good spirits and said with a smile, "General Chu, Major General Chu, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The father and son said this and stood up.

Xiao Chengjin instructed Chief Steward Lin, who was catching his breath, "Give General Chu and his son a seat."

Chief Steward Lin quickly called out to the eunuchs waiting on the side, "Hurry up and move two chairs."

"Yes, Manager Lin."

General Chu and his son looked at the seat beside them, clasped their fists towards Xiao Chengjin and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for the opportunity to sit down."

Xiao Chengjin nodded, "No need to be so polite, both of you."

After General Chu took his seat, Xiao Chengjin said, "General Chu, Major General Chu, you and your son have guarded the border for many years. Thank you for your hard work."

General Chu and his son bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. Your humble servant and I will not be tired."

Xiao Chengjin coughed lightly and said slowly: "Take advantage of this opportunity for you and your son to spend some time with your family."

"Young General Chu is already of marriageable age. If there is a woman you like, I will arrange a marriage for you."

General Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He secretly gave his son a look that said "hurry up and agree to it".

Chu Haoxuan: “…”

Your Majesty, you seem to like arranging marriages for people.

Thinking of this, Chu Haoxuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"When I find someone I like, I will ask the emperor to grant me marriage."

Xiao Chengjin smiled and nodded, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: If you like someone, just go after them. When your sweetheart gets married, you won't even have anywhere to cry.

Well, learn from your shameless brother-in-law.

Xiao Chengjin knew that General Chu and his son were eager to return home, so he didn't say anything more.

"I still have official business to attend to, please leave!"

General Chu and his son stood up, clasped their hands and saluted, "Your humble servants, I will take your leave."

Xiao Chengjin watched the father and son leave and instructed Chief Steward Lin, "Chief Steward Lin, go see General Chu and his son off."

"I obey your command." Manager Lin responded and turned around to follow.

After walking about twenty meters, General Chu stopped and said to Chief Steward Lin, "Chief Steward Lin, please stay."

"We father and I can leave the palace on our own."

Chief Steward Lin chuckled and bowed, saying, "General Chu, Major General Chu, take care."

"Goodbye." General Chu and his son suppressed their excitement and left in big strides.

After General Chu and his son disappeared around the corner, Manager Lin hurried back to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's coronation ceremony is coming soon. You must prepare well."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin smiled complacently.

"Go quietly to the Treasure Pavilion and ask Manager Xue if the wedding rings for me and the Queen are ready."

"Tell Master Xue that the wedding rings must be made before the Queen's coronation ceremony."

Chief Steward Lin quickly responded, "I'll do it right away."

"Remember, don't let Ruoruo know about this." Xiao Chengjin warned worriedly.

Chief Steward Lin promised solemnly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I promise not to let the Empress know."

The little phoenix that came to deliver food landed outside the imperial study.

When it heard Manager Lin say, "Promise not to let the Queen know," its eyes rolled.

What is this bastard hiding from my sister?

Could it be that he was seduced by some vixen outside?

Little Phoenix cursed in her heart: You bastard, you are so awesome.

He hasn't even secured his throne yet, and he's already thinking about all sorts of things...
