Chapter 195: Not Helping the Cheng Family, but Helping Myself

Chu Chengye has been the emperor for less than three years, and it has been only five years since he came to Beijing from the vassal state.

He still doesn't know much about this capital, this palace, so many people, so many things.

There are not many people willing to help a prince who rebelled halfway.

The Cheng family is the majority among the few.

So he must save Cheng Sheng, not only because he is Cheng Jin's brother, he is also a respected general of Southern Qi with outstanding military achievements.

Chu Chengye turned to Chu Ying and curled his lips slightly, "Uncle also knows that there are too few people in this court and palace that I can trust."

"It's not to help the Cheng family, it's to help me."

If Chu Chengye really abandoned Cheng Sheng in order to maintain the short-term peace in the court, then what is the difference between him and the Chu Chengye in the book that Cheng Jin talked about.

Under the short-term peace lies a shocking storm.

There will be no difference in what he spurns and what he wants to change.

Chu Ying didn't say anything else, he just asked. Although he was not often in the capital, the Cheng family suddenly became popular in front of Chu Chengye, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it, so as to remind Chu Chengye to pay attention to their true intentions.

He originally thought that the Cheng family was no different from the corrupt officials who pretended to be eloquent in front of Chu Chengye, and he was also secretly investigating the Cheng family.

But the facts disappointed him. Chu Ying did not find any charges against the Cheng family that could be told to Chu Chengye.

Even Rong Guifei, who had been in the harem for a long time and inevitably became jealous and made trouble, suddenly changed her temperament.

He also knew that Chu Chengye had chosen the right person.

After the news of Cheng Sheng came out, Chu Ying did not believe it at first, but the charges in the letter came from the front line, and it was difficult to explain.

Chu Ying did not want Nanqi to lose Cheng Sheng, a good general. In addition to repaying Chu Chengye for avenging himself, he really wanted Cheng Sheng to return safely from the border.

Chu Ying nodded, raised her hand and waved to Chu Chaochao who was having fun in the distance, "Chaochao, don't mess with the things in the emperor's palace, come here quickly."

Chu Chaochao stood up immediately when she heard Chu Ying calling her, and she trotted all the way to Chu Ying. When she heard Chu Ying blame her, she pouted slightly with grievance.

"It's too boring here, there's not even anyone to talk to."

After saying that, she made a face at Chu Chengye, "My brother wouldn't be so stingy."

Chu Chengye looked at the swing that was still swinging and shook his head.

"Nothing, if you like it, I'll have someone make another one for you and send it to your palace."

Chu Chaochao nodded vigorously and said, "My royal brother is very generous, but why did my royal brother install such a swing in the palace? I haven't seen my royal brother play it before, and there's no need to ask someone to make another one. I like this one very much."

Chu Chaochao asked, and it was not surprising.

Chu Chengye's palace was so deserted that it seemed that even the flowers and plants had a clear position where they should fall, but this swing was out of tune with Chu Chengye's Jingyang Palace.

The wooden swing was nothing special, but some flower patterns were painted on the swing, which was particularly unique. Even the wooden stakes on the swing were well wrapped with flower vines, and it was obvious that the little girl would like it.

Yes, Chu Chaochao fell in love with this swing as soon as he arrived at Jingyang Palace.

Everything in this palace seems to be meaningless. The square house seems to trap people

here. Chu Chengye feels this way even more. This swing is the only place where he can feel a little bit of life.

So he often stays in Jingyang Palace, not only because Chu Ying is here, but also because of this beautiful swing.

Chu Chaochao came to Chu Chengye's side and said coquettishly: "I really like it. My royal brother is the best. He will give it to me, right?"

Chu Chengye heard Chu Chaochao's words and moved closer to the swing. He rejected Chu Chaochao's request without hesitation.

"No, you can have someone make you one or two more, as many as you want, but this one can't be given to you."

Chu Chaochao immediately lost his face after hearing Chu Chengye's quick refusal, looking confused, "Why, brother, I haven't seen you sit on it, you're not just enjoying it as a decoration, are you?"

Chu Chengye shook his head, "This is different."

Chu Chengye still remembered Cheng Jin's expression when he just made this swing, her eyes were like twinkling stars, and she sat on this swing for a whole morning.

She thought this swing was too monotonous, so she found some materials and took the initiative to decorate it and polish it. When Chu Chengye saw it, he didn't pull her to create together.

"It's not that no one plays, it's just because the people who want to play didn't come."

At this time, Chu Chaochao also came over.

"Is that so? When will she come?"

Chu Chaochao said.

Chu Chengye stared at the swing in a trance, as if Cheng Jin was gently swinging the swing at this moment, smiling.

When will it come?

Chu Chengye was not sure.

Chu Chengye went to secretly look at Cheng Jin several times, and saw that she was so tired from practicing that she collapsed on the ground, but she did not dare to show weakness and continued to stand up.

Chu Chengye felt sorry that he could not do anything. He could not even say a word to persuade Cheng Jin. In the final analysis, it was his own incompetence.

He knew why Cheng Jin was working so hard, but he could not let Cheng Jin relax.

Chu Chaochao didn't hear Chu Chengye's reply, so she said to herself, "It would be great if she could come. I'm really bored in my own palace. If I could talk to her, I might not have followed you guys to discuss matters and ask for this swing."

Chu Chaochao raised her hand and touched the swing support.

"This swing is good in every way, and the decorations on it are also beautiful, but some of the flowers are a bit crudely painted."

Chu Chengye looked in the direction of Chu Chaochao's eyes tapping the wood, and saw that all the things she tapped were painted by Chu Chengye.

Chu Chaochao silently touched the paint on the fan, as if she wanted to try to change it.

Chu Chengye: "..."

No wonder Cheng Jin said on the surface that his painting was so lifelike and lifelike that it would be worth a lot of money if it was sold among the people, but he secretly complained in his heart:

[What a lifelike painting skill. ]

[Do I offer one or two pieces? If I do, I will report it to the police.]

He did not look carefully at the time, but now when he combined the two people's drawings, he could see that there was a big difference.

Chu Ying saw the unnatural look on Chu Chengye's face and the slightly twitching corners of his mouth, and quickly stopped Chu Chaochao from criticizing him: "Chaochao, don't be rude."

"Since the emperor has said that this swing is very important to him, don't force it."

Chu Chaochao nodded, "Got it."

Chu Chengye wanted to send the two of them out so that he could go to see Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin was in a bad mood because of Cheng Sheng's matter, so he thought it would be good to see her from a distance. He

really couldn't resist the longing in his heart.

Chu Chaochao seemed to have thought of something, she suddenly turned around and said to Chu Chengye: "Oh, yes, a girl came to see you just now."
