"By the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, I hereby decree:"
"Lord Chu is a man of extraordinary talent, a man of exceptional ability. During the previous emperor's time, he served as the Minister of Personnel. He is truly a pillar of support for our great peace and a source of unrest in the court. However, Lord Minister is twenty-four years old and unmarried. As a father and king, I am truly worried."
"The Chief Censor has a beautiful daughter, 29 years old, a rare beauty...blah blah..."
"...I think we are good matchmakers, and I hope the Chu and Xie families will become close relatives..."
Late in the evening, a young eunuch came from the palace to convey the imperial edict.
Chu Yi was still confused at first and thought that the new emperor had ascended the throne, but he suddenly woke up after hearing the last sentence.
Wait a minute—
Who in the palace is arranging a marriage for me?
It's really strange and doesn't fit this person's personality.
After fighting with the little emperor for three years, he knew very well that although the little emperor was not fully grown up, he was very evil.
In short, the current Chu Yi follows one principle.
He could not accept any good things given by the little emperor.
"Who would believe that the young emperor would suddenly be so kind as to interfere in my marriage?"
Chu Yi was thinking this when he suddenly turned to the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict.
"I'm asking you, do you believe it?"
Young eunuch: “?”
Ask yourself whether you believe it?
He didn't know it, and he certainly didn't believe it, but he was the one who delivered the imperial decree.
But he couldn't just talk nonsense here.
The ancestor in front of him is not afraid of the emperor, he is afraid!
As if noticing Chu Yi's murderous gaze, the young eunuch swallowed and finally chose to surrender.
"Reply...Reply, sir, I don't...don't believe it..."
"Haha..." Chu Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the housekeeper and sneered:
"See? Even dogs don't believe it!"
Little eunuch: “???”
Polite to you?
Chu Yi's face looked very unhappy. This marriage was very sudden and he was a little overwhelmed.
Although he would not suffer any loss by agreeing to this matter, he felt inexplicably scared when he thought of the old face of Censor Xie.
He almost destroyed the Censorate by giving orders and cursing ministers in the court, but that's not the reason why he has to lower his generation and call his colleague "father-in-law".
Chu Yi pinched his chin and thought hard, but the young eunuch felt a little tortured.
Finally, seeing that Lord Chu did not seem to have any intention of accepting the order and thanking him, he said cautiously:
"that……"
"Lord Chu, how about we receive the decree first?"
The young eunuch's face was full of smiles, and Chu Yi turned to look at him when he heard it.
Seeing the father-in-law laughing, he suddenly laughed too.
"Why, do you want me to accept your order and express my gratitude?"
The young eunuch nodded and rubbed his hands quickly: "This... yes, Master Chu, this is a good thing after all..."
"Oh... That's good—"
Chu Yi nodded, deliberately dragging out his tone until the end when his tone suddenly changed.
"The damn little emperor wants to arrange a marriage for me, but I won't agree!"
Little eunuch: "(?_?)"
"Lord Chu..."
"Sir~"
After two pleadings with no response, the young eunuch was so anxious that he almost cried.
The two big guys can fight, but why do they want to drag a little eunuch like me into it?
He is just an imperial decree announcer. If he takes the imperial decree back like this, won't he be killed by the emperor?
Chu Yi made a decision very quickly.
He looked at the anxious young eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict, coughed slightly, and finally pretended to be calm and composed as a minister should be.
"Hmm, go back and tell His Majesty that I appreciate His Majesty's kindness, but Da'an is currently facing internal and external troubles. As a minister, I really don't have the heart to be sentimental..."
The young eunuch was suddenly struck by lightning after hearing these words.
To put it nicely, Sir, what you said is reasonable, but to put it bluntly, it is blatant disobedience of the emperor's order.
If I really go back with this sentence, won’t I lose my head?
Just when he was at his wit's end, Chu Yi suddenly added:
"Also, I have something else I need you to take to the Emperor. Please wait a moment."
"Ah?" The young eunuch seemed to sense a turning point and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what Lord Chu wants to give to His Majesty?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly, "A good thing that can save your life, His Majesty will definitely be very happy to see it."
These words were meant to whet the audience's appetite, but Chu Yi didn't intend to say more. Instead, he looked at Xu Yuan standing aside.
"Old Xu, come with me inside and get ready."
"Yes, sir." Xu Yuan bowed slightly and followed Chu Yi into the house.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict just stood there in the yard, feeling curious and worried.
After a while, Chu Yi came out with the butler and his two companions. He then saw Xu Yuan dragging a large, beautifully carved box in his hands, but he didn't know what was inside.
Xu Yuan did not say anything, but carefully handed the box in his hand to the eunuch who delivered the order.
The young eunuch was very curious about what was inside the box when he saw it. When he took the box, he subconsciously wanted to open it and take a look.
But Chu Yi was quick-witted and quickly stopped his action.
"This is a precious gift for His Majesty. How dare a servant like you look at it without permission? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you if he finds out?"
Hearing this, the young eunuch shuddered and then smiled awkwardly.
The hand that was originally on the box was taken down smoothly.
…
Purple Palace.
