However, he couldn't refuse their enthusiasm.
Suddenly, a guard exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many beautiful women over there!"
"Be careful, those who can wait near the palace gate are definitely not ordinary people."
"I suppose she's a member of some important family. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder who's so lucky."
...
Hearing the envious voices of the guards, Zu'an looked up curiously and saw a series of familiar faces.
"Azu!" A graceful figure in icy blue rushed over and, amidst the shocked gazes of the many guards accompanying her, threw herself into Zu'an's arms.
The guards swallowed hard; after all that talk, the very man they'd been discussing, the one with the most good fortune in love, was right beside them.
"Chu Yan, what brings you here?" Zu An was both surprised and delighted.
Chu Chuyan's face flushed slightly. She hadn't noticed in her excitement, but now she realized that so many people were staring at her. She quickly took a step back and stepped out of his embrace. "I received news that the Grand Master of Ceremonies would come to interrogate you personally today, so I waited for news here at the palace gate. Later, you were indeed released without charge. Hmm, who are they?"
Zuan introduced them: "They are my friends, all colleagues from the Crown Prince's side; this is my wife."
Upon hearing the word "wife," Chu Chuyan was overjoyed. She knew that Zu An's expulsion from the Chu family had been a knot in her heart, but now that she knew Zu An still considered her his wife, a bright smile appeared on her usually aloof face: "Hello everyone, where are you all headed?"
Her smile, as radiant as melting snow, made everyone feel their souls melt. When had they ever seen such a stunning beauty?
Although the Crown Princess was stunningly beautiful, she was always dignified, and the other concubines were all high and mighty. Who would smile gently at Chu Chuyan like that?
Pu Duandiao and the others came to their senses: "Greetings, sister-in-law. We're here to see Brother Zu off."
How could you possibly suggest taking your husband to a brothel in front of someone else's wife?
Chu Chuyan smiled slightly: "Thank you all for your trouble. I have prepared some wine at home. Why don't you all come together?"
"No need, no need, we still have official duties to attend to," Park Duan-diao and the others hurriedly said. They didn't want to disturb the couple's private time. Besides, they had finally gotten a vacation, so naturally they wanted to relax at the brothel.
At this moment, Chu Youzhao also walked over and said sweetly, "Brother-in-law!"
Murong Qinghe, standing to the side, subconsciously said, "Sister... cough cough, greetings to Lord Zu."
The words "brother-in-law" almost slipped out, making her blush with embarrassment.
The guards standing nearby stared wide-eyed. Brother Zu's brother-in-law was more beautiful than a woman, and the pretty girl next to him seemed to be a young lady from the Murong family. Judging from her shy expression, did she also have feelings for Brother Zu?
But how could a young lady from the prestigious Murong family be allowed to become a concubine?
My elder brother truly lives up to his name; he is a role model for us all.
At this moment, another carriage slowly drove up and stopped nearby. A pair of long, shapely, and straight legs stretched out first, and Park Duandiao and the others immediately became breathless.
