Chapter 24 Introduction to Objects

"Let me think about it, what do you think of my senior brother Beichen? You've seen him in Prince Shi's Mansion, right?" Qing Yi casually mentioned his senior brother, as if he was really trying hard to find a candidate for Qingqing.

"..." Qingqing's face turned even redder, and she felt extremely helpless. Why was this brat like this?

"Don't be embarrassed, my senior brother is the closest person to me besides my master. He has a steady personality and strong abilities. He should be the one to inherit the position of the leader of the Demon Cult in the future!" Qing Yi continued to promote his senior brother with a confident look.

"Oh, please stop talking! I won't leave my master's side!" Qingqing was so anxious that she almost covered her ears. How could she introduce a partner directly in front of a girl?

"Oh, that's true! My senior brother will definitely stay in the Western Regions for a long time, and Xiaoye can't go back to the Western Regions with me to live. This is really a problem. Let me think about it... Hey, what do you think of Qingfeng? I think he is very honest and a reliable person." Qingyi frowned, and after thinking carefully, he came up with a candidate for Qingqing. Obviously, he cared about Qingqing's affairs and was afraid that his previous words would make her too sad.

"..." He held his forehead helplessly and couldn't help muttering to himself: Isn't this kid too kind-hearted?

"Qingfeng is really good. This way you can all stay with Xiaoye. He is not bad looking, has great martial arts skills, and is the head of your master's guards. Apart from his slightly dull personality, he has no shortcomings. I think he is a good match for you!" Qingyi gave up the idea of ​​Beichen and began to promote Qingfeng.

"He..." Qing Yi hesitated to speak. What on earth did Qing Yi want to do?

"Don't worry, with your master and I acting as matchmakers, Qingfeng will definitely agree!" Qingyi said with great confidence. Qingfeng might not take his words seriously, but as long as Xiaoye spoke, Qingfeng had to obey whether he was willing or not.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs! You'd better take care of your own business first! Look, my master's princess and concubines are about to squeeze you to the position, and you still have the mind to meddle in other people's affairs?" Qingqing was just shy just now, so her brain short-circuited. Now her brain came back, and her mouth kept up, and she immediately fought back against Qingyi.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky! How come your master has attracted so many bad peach blossoms!" Qing Yi sighed, shook his head, and looked helpless.

"Hahaha, which one is the rotten peach blossom? One of them is a daughter of a marquis, born in a famous and prestigious family, and the other one is a beauty in the palace. I think they are both pretty good!" She chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Hey! No matter whether they are good or bad, this hero will cut them all off one by one and leave me a single seedling!" Qing Yi said shamelessly.

The Great Chu Palace

"Oh, oh, little prince, you come at the right time, what a coincidence!" Ye Qingyu walked into the palace with a breeze. He ordered the eunuch on duty to go and inform the emperor. Not long after, he saw Eunuch Duofu beside Emperor Chu running over in a hurry.

"Eunuch Duofu, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Ye Qingyu asked in confusion.

"Oh, little prince, you came at the right time. The emperor is very angry!" Eunuch Duofu said breathlessly.

After hearing what Eunuch Duofu said, Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng both smiled bitterly: "We came when the emperor was angry. Is it a coincidence or an unfortunate coincidence?"

"Hehe, hasn't the emperor been looking forward to your arrival for a long time? The emperor will definitely be happy when he sees you, little prince!" Eunuch Duofu said with a smile.

"Then why is the emperor angry?" Ye Qingyu asked.

"This...it's the Third Prince who has angered the Emperor. You'll know when you go there." Eunuch Duofu couldn't make any rash comments on matters involving the prince, so he remained vague. Ye Qingyu didn't ask any more questions and followed Duofu to see the Emperor.

As soon as he reached the door of the imperial study, Ye Qingyu saw a man kneeling at the door. It was the third prince.

The third prince was kneeling here with a sad face as punished by Emperor Chu. When he heard a noise, he turned his head and saw Ye Qingyu and Duofu coming over.

"Your Highness!" Ye Qingyu bowed slightly and greeted the kneeling Third Prince.

"Hey, Qingyu, you're in the capital? That's great. Please plead for me to my father!" When the third prince saw Ye Qingyu coming, he pleaded in a low voice.

Ye Qingyu nodded slightly, but did not agree out loud. He did not know what the Third Prince had done wrong to provoke the Emperor so much anger, so he did not dare to agree to plead for mercy easily.

"Qingyu pays homage to the Emperor's uncle." After Ye Qingyu entered the imperial study, he respectfully lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground.

"Stand up! Come and take a seat." Upon seeing Ye Qingyu, the Emperor of Chu's face lit up with joy, his originally gloomy mood brightening considerably with his arrival. After all, the last time he saw Ye Qingyu was during the New Year's celebrations with the vassal kings. It had already been over half a year.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Ye Qingyu stood up to express his gratitude and sat down.

"Why did you bear to come to the capital?" Emperor Chu looked at Ye Qingyu gently. Since he was detoxified, this boy has become more handsome and taller, and is much more pleasing to the eye than his other sons.

"My nephew encountered a strange incident when he came to Beijing this time, and I came here specifically to report it to the emperor's uncle." Ye Qingyu decided to mention the matter of the jade shop first. Inspired by King Shi, he knew that he could not propose to reject the marriage right from the start.

Ye Qingyu told the Emperor Chu the whole story in detail. Upon hearing this, the Emperor slammed the table with such force that the teacup on the table shook and fell to the ground, making a loud and crisp shattering sound.

This sudden commotion startled both Eunuch Duofu, who was standing outside the door, and the kneeling Third Prince. They wondered to themselves, "Could it be that even the young prince of the Northwest has angered the emperor?"

The imperial study fell into a brief silence. The Emperor of Chu gradually calmed down. He turned to Ye Qingyu and said in a deep voice, "Qingyu, don't make this public yet. You need to investigate secretly. I want to see who is so bold as to come to the palace and steal the imperial property!"

"Yes, uncle." Ye Qingyu responded.

"I'll give you a token, go to the treasure house and check it out." The Emperor of Chu gave Ye Qingyu the privilege of entering the treasure house of the Great Chu Palace, which was his unconditional trust in him.

"Come and play chess with me! Duofu, go and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare rose cake." Emperor Chu called Ye Qingyu forward and carefully asked someone to prepare Ye Qingyu's favorite dessert.

"Yes!" Ye Qingyu agreed obediently. He had more important things to say and he had to make the emperor happy.

Everyone in the court knew that the Emperor of Chu doted on Ye Qingyu. Others did not know the reason, but he himself knew that seeing Qingyu was like seeing that woman.
