Chu Chen was kicked out by Chu Xuan with a wronged feeling. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. What had he done to offend anyone? No one liked him. He... he just liked a girl!

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such injustice. Chu Chen turned around and went back to the imperial study without saying a word.

After entering, he didn't care about anything and said stiffly: "Brother Emperor, I have a girl I like. I beg you to grant me a marriage!"

Chu Xuan was about to curse, but when he heard that, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Who? Which girl do you like?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and after a while they burst out laughing. Chu Chen was a little shy, and raised his hand to touch the back of his head to cover up.

Chu Xuan sneered and scolded with a smile: "Looking at your useless appearance, I wondered what was wrong with you these days. You always looked absent-minded. After all this time, I found out that you were dreaming about a beautiful woman. Tell me, which girl is it? I want my brother to grant you a marriage."

Chu Chen was actually just impulsive just now, but now that Chu Xuan really asked him about it, he felt a little regretful. Cheng Ruoxue had been married before, and he liked her and didn't think it was a big deal. But Chu Xuan was different. He wouldn't necessarily accept a divorced woman to become the Princess of Su.

Seeing that Chu Chen remained silent, Chu Xuan looked over suspiciously, "What's wrong? Why are you acting so embarrassed? As a grown man, how dare you say who you like? Who would dare to marry their daughter to you if you look like this?"

Chu Chen gritted his teeth upon hearing this and decided to fight!

"It's Cheng Ruoxue! The girl I like is Cheng Ruoxue!" Chu Chen said it with gritted teeth. After saying it, he suddenly found that he felt a lot more relaxed.

But Chu Xuan secretly frowned and looked at Chu Chen silently, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"Cheng Ruoxue? Do you know who she is?"

Chu Chen said firmly, "Since you said you like her, I know that, but I don't care. She divorced the prince of Jingguo Palace because he didn't know Miss Cheng's goodness. Besides, they have already divorced. Miss Cheng and I are unmarried. I beg you to help me!"

Chu Xuan snorted coldly: "Then why have you been so distraught these past few days?"

Chu Chen immediately became depressed and sighed, "After returning to the capital, I have always wanted to meet Miss Cheng and talk things over with her, but Miss Cheng has been avoiding me."

Cheng Ruoxue's action was actually within Chu Xuan's expectations. She was divorced, so she was naturally more cautious about her feelings than others.

"Do you know that Cheng Ruoxue is a general with an official title, and the Cheng family army under her is brave and invincible?"

Chu Chen didn’t know what Chu Xuan meant, but he nodded anyway. He naturally knew.

"Then you should know that Cheng Ruoxue and the Queen are like sisters. If you let Cheng Ruoxue suffer any injustice, the Queen will never let you go."

Chu Chen nodded, very firmly: "Royal brother, since I have said this today, it means it sincerely. I like Miss Cheng. After marrying her, I will definitely treat her like a pearl and a treasure, just like my brother and sister-in-law!"

Chu Xuan sneered and scolded, "You are useless. Instead of asking me for help, you should ask your sister-in-law to talk to Cheng Ruoxue. Maybe there will be a turnaround. As long as Cheng Ruoxue nods, I promise to grant you two a marriage."

With Chu Xuan's words, Chu Chen felt a lot more at ease. He bowed to Chu Xuan and ran to the Changshou Palace without a moment's wait.

When Lu Yanluo heard about Chu Chen's thoughts, she was naturally happy to see it happen. Chu Chen was kind-hearted, and there had not been any messy concubines in his mansion for many years. The inner house was clean, and for Cheng Ruoxue, it was really a good home.

So this is the current scene.

Cheng Ruoxue looked flustered, looking at Chu Chen helplessly, and stammered, "Your Highness..."

Chu Chen took a few steps forward, held Cheng Ruoxue's hand, and said firmly: "Miss Cheng, I really like you, without any false feelings. I know what you are thinking. You feel that you are not worthy of me, but it is up to me to decide whether you are worthy or not. You defend the border and the country without fear of life and death. In my opinion, it is me who is not worthy of you."

“Your Highness…”

Chu Chen smiled suddenly: "But there is no need to talk about this between you and me. When I came here, I asked my brother the emperor to grant me marriage. The imperial decree will be delivered to your house soon. Then, you can wait in the house for me to pick you up in a sedan chair carried by eight men."

Cheng Ruoxue blushed, but had to face the reality: "But I have an official position, so I can't stay in the inner house like other women, taking care of my husband and children."

Chu Chen shook his head indifferently: "I know, I like the way you look so heroic on the horse, so you can continue to do what you like, you don't have to stay in the inner house, as long as you are happy."

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo advised: "Sister Cheng, why do you look down on yourself? You are the only female general in the entire Tianji. His Majesty values ​​you very much and you have a large army under your command. If Prince Su does something to let you down, the soldiers under your command can uproot Prince Su's mansion!"

Cheng Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh when she heard that, and looked at Chu Chen with shyness in her eyes.

Not long after, Chu Xuan's imperial decree granting marriage arrived at Prince Su's Mansion and the Cheng family. It was a perfect match, and the imperial decree granting marriage was just the icing on the cake.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it has been three years since Chu Xuan ascended the throne. The previous dynasty is stable and the world is at peace.

Everyone knows that the emperor acts decisively and swiftly. Those ministers who had harbored ulterior motives and secretly opposed Chu Xuan in the early years have been killed or exiled in recent years. The court has indeed become much more clean-minded.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Yanluo is pregnant again, which makes Chu Xuan very happy. In the past few years, the ministers have been clamoring for Chu Xuan to expand his harem and have children, but in the end, without exception, they were all completely ignored by Chu Xuan.

At this time, Lu Yanluo was pregnant, which just happened to shut up these ministers and left them speechless.

After ten months of pregnancy, Lu Yanluo gave birth. The pregnancy went very smoothly and she gave birth to a second prince for Chu Xuan.

The two children, Chu Yao and Chu Yuan, have grown up now and were surrounding their little brother in amazement.

"Mother, were my brother and I as ugly as my younger brother when we were born?" Chu Yuan said with a hint of disgust.

Lu Yanluo smiled and looked at her youngest son, who was wrinkled and indeed a little ugly.

Just then, a voice of greeting came from outside the door. Chu Xuan walked in quickly. Seeing that Lu Yanluo was fine, he went to see the child with peace of mind.

"He looks like your mother, and is very handsome." Chu Xuan felt very fond of him. He carefully touched the child's hand with a loving face.

Chu Yuan and Chu Yao still disliked this ugly little brother, but they couldn't resist their curiosity and gathered around to take a closer look.

Lu Yanluo leaned against the bed, looked at Chu Xuan and the children with a faint smile, and her whole body was filled with warmth.

Perhaps this is the meaning of her coming here. She is willing to spend the rest of her life to protect this happiness, forever and ever...
