Chapter 244 Are my elder brother and I suitable to be your male companions?
Chu Yian was not polite and said as concisely as possible: "The Xiongnu have been disturbing our borders, making Dashun restless."
"Then a very powerful young general appeared. He was good at raiding thousands of miles, taking detours, and going straight to the enemy's rear."
"No matter how fierce the fighting was at the front, he mostly stayed out of it. His goal was clear: to capture the thief and the leader."
"He's very good. He's won six battles and never lost a single one."
"In the decisive battle with the Xiongnu, we fought our way through the Xiongnu royal court and reached the Xiongnu holy land."
"Then he led the army to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens at the Xiongnu holy land. That's about it."
"It's just that he made it up, and I got involved a little bit, so only the two of us know this story."
Chu Yian stopped and carefully observed the emperor's expression.
But apart from his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, nothing else could be seen from him.
Although Chu Yian's tone was calm, no emotion could be heard.
But whenever the emperor thought of that scene, he felt a shudder that made his scalp tingle.
So... so arrogant.
Is that kid from the Qin family such an arrogant person?
I can't tell.
He stared at Chu Yian and asked, "Who among you came up with the idea of holding a ceremony to worship the heaven in the Xiongnu Holy Land?"
Chu Yian blinked and was about to say Qin Sheng, but accidentally received Qin Huaishu's gaze and immediately changed his words.
He said with deep sorrow: "I! I hate it so much. The people on the border are suffering so much."
The emperor stood for a while, slowly digesting Chu Yian's story, which could not be shorter.
The army has left, and it’s not a good idea to stand outside the city.
Glancing at Chu Yian again, he said kindly, "You have performed meritorious service today. I hereby declare that Chu Yian, the wife of the Third Young Master of the Duke of Qin's Mansion, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, and a hundred acres of fertile land."
Chu Yian opened his mouth wide, unable to believe it.
Just said a few words and won the jackpot?
Qi Ze felt his eyes hurt when he saw her silly look.
How could his love rival be such a person?
When I wanted to attack her, I found that her body was full of holes, like a sieve.
Furious to death, Qi Ze found an opportunity to twist Chu Yian's arm fiercely: "Why don't you thank me quickly?"
Chu Yian almost jumped up in pain. This bastard was so ruthless!
Take the opportunity to retaliate.
My arm must have turned blue.
She quickly saluted the emperor with a grin on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward..."
"Thank you very much." The emperor glanced at Qi Ze and frowned.
When did their relationship become so good?
He turned his gaze to Chu Yian again: "Do you remember the story Qin Sheng told you?"
Chu Yian nodded: "Remember."
The emperor nodded and said, "Write it down in detail when you get back and have someone send it to the palace for me to see."
After saying this, he returned to the palace.
Chu Yian was dumbfounded.
She looked at Qin Huaishu, and Qin Huaishu also looked at her and shook his head at her, indicating that everything was fine.
Chu Yian felt relieved, turned around and hit Qi Ze hard, lowering his voice and cursing: "You bastard, you're so ruthless."
Qi Ze rolled his eyes: "You are not evil? I am warning you, show some respect to me!"
Chu Yian: "You're such a loser, you came here on your own. Do I need to remind you of the occasion today?"
"It's okay to fool around on normal days, but on an occasion like today, can't you just stay in the corner?"
"Do you think being my legal wife is easy? None of you idiots are worry-free."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze closed his eyes, seemingly having lost all his skills and strength: "Can you not ask me to pay for it?"
Chu Yian: "What should I call you?"
Qi Ze didn't want to talk.
Just because Chu Yian is Qin Sheng's wife, he would have started scolding her if she spoke to him like that.
But today's Chu Yian...
Qi Ze turned his head with mixed feelings.
never mind.
"Calling him Fourth Prince or calling him by his name is better than calling him a loser."
Chu Yian snorted.
All the civil and military officials have left, and the people have dispersed.
The army was also withdrawing back to the city.
The city gate gradually returned to its former tranquility.
Chu Yian walked towards the city. Qi Ze frowned and followed him.
Noticing the person behind him, Chu Yian turned his head to look at him and rolled his eyes: "What's the matter?"
Qi Ze's originally complicated mood suddenly became irritable: "Can you please stop being sarcastic when you talk?"
Chu Yian: "Then can you take care of them and stop coming near me?"
Qi Ze let out a breath: "Don't worry, Ah Sheng has already said hello. Except for some unavoidable occasions, they will try not to get close to you again."
Qin Sheng did mention this matter, and Chu Yian felt relieved.
He looked at Qi Ze again, very puzzled: "So what are you like now?"
Didn’t we agree not to get close to her?
It was fine that we couldn't avoid each other just now, but shouldn't we just go our separate ways now?
Qi Ze pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Do you still want a male favorite?"
Chu Yian blinked and lowered his voice: "Send it here."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze choked and said, "Without Qin Huaishu's consent, outsiders cannot enter the Duke's Mansion."
Chu Yian was puzzled: "Aren't you guys pretty good at climbing over walls?"
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze really wanted to pry open Chu Yian's head to see what was inside.
How can people be so stupid?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Before Ah Sheng was here, he was in charge of Fu Hua Yuan. If he was willing to let us in, naturally no one would dare to stop us."
"Now that he's gone, do you think he's still comfortable leaving Vanity Courtyard open to me... letting them come and go?"
Chu Yian blinked and suddenly realized.
But since Qin Sheng was no longer around, she didn't dare let anyone into the house at will.
She couldn't control the number of people who came, and the Duke's Mansion allowed people to come and go as they pleased, so who knows how much trouble this would cause Qin Huaishu.
Forget it.
Although she likes handsome men, she is not obsessed with them.
It's just pleasing to the eyes.
Chu Yian waved his hand: "Then don't send it off."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze clenched his fists and once again chose to retreat: "How about this, I will build a house just for you outside the mansion and raise a handsome man for you?"
"Although I hate you, you also know that I can't really do anything to you."
"I will definitely ensure your safety."
Chu Yian stopped and looked at Qi Ze in disbelief: "How could you do this?"
Qi Ze smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, we don't need to be so confrontational, right?"
"Once Qin Sheng left, those people became restless. Even if they didn't kill you, they might do something bad to you, especially Lu Yunxuan."
"I think you don't want to worry about your life all the time, right?"
Chu Yian was about to open her mouth to refute, but Qi Ze interrupted her.
"I know that Ah Sheng left a secret guard for you, but you must know that killing people doesn't just rely on a knife."
"What if we use other means? Can Qin Er and the others still save you?"
Chu Yian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he was about to speak.
A voice came from not far away: "What did the Fourth Prince say to my sister-in-law?"
"It's not good for you to walk around with a married woman in public, right?"
Hearing the sound, Chu Yian and Qi Ze looked up and saw Qin Rang standing on the street, leaning against a tree.
Qi Ze frowned.
Qin Rang chuckled, walked over and stood in front of Chu Yian.
"What did Fourth Prince just say? I couldn't hear it from a distance. Could you please say it again?"
"My sister-in-law is young and may not be able to think clearly about some things. I will consider it for her."
Qi Ze frowned, looked at Chu Yian, stopped talking, and walked away.
Chu Yian was a little embarrassed. He looked at Qin Rang and asked carefully, "Brother, did you hear anything just now?"
Qi Ze really was her nemesis. No matter what he thought, his words always managed to embarrass her just right.
The same thing happened last time.
Qin Rang...didn't you hear Qi Ze say he was going to give her a handsome man?
Qin Rang turned his head to look at Chu Yian, his mood and eyes were complicated.
Chu Yian's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head in shame: "This is not my fault."
This was agreed upon before the marriage.
And to be honest, she hadn't visited those male favorites for a long time.
Even when I was with those male favorites, I didn't really do anything. At most, I touched his abs and Adam's apple, but I didn't really do anything.
Chu Yian was still silently cheering himself up.
But Qin Rang's next words made her dumbfounded, and she almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
"Do you think my brother and I are suitable to be your male companions?"
