"To be honest, the person that my sister Mingzhu likes is in this hall."
Chu Mingye smiled and kept the question in suspense.
The ministers present looked at each other. Although there were many young and promising talents among them, none of them had any interaction with Princess Dongli!
It was obvious that the person the princess liked was not among these court officials.
He is young and promising, and has had interactions with Princess Dongli. Who could this person be?
The ministers thought secretly, and suddenly a face flashed in their minds. The ministers straightened their backs instantly and looked at the people beside them excitedly.
It was His Royal Highness the Regent! ! Who else could be so young and promising and catch the eye of Princess Dongli? ! The prince had been fighting on the battlefield in his early years, and maybe he had met Princess Dongli at that time!
The more the ministers thought about it, the more they believed this to be the case, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
The regent of their Great Yan Dynasty and the princess of Dongli Kingdom... this is a perfect match! Chu Mingye hasn't said who Chu Mingzhu likes yet, and the ministers who guessed that Chu Mingzhu's favorite candidate is Chu Huaizhi have already started to get excited in advance.
The Regent is now twenty-five years old, but he has no concubines in his house. It is time to find someone who understands his feelings and can be made his princess.
Not only did the ministers guess that Chu Mingzhu's favorite person was Chu Huaizhi, but Jiang Li also thought so.
Damn! Seeing that her relationship with the emperor's uncle was getting closer, she didn't expect that Princess Dongli would show up halfway! Jiang Li gritted her teeth secretly, and when she heard that Dongli wanted to marry their Dayan, she sobered up instantly.
She glanced at Chu Huaizhi who was calm and composed on her lower left, then picked up the wine cup in front of her and drank it all!
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Li looked down at Chu Mingye and Chu Mingzhu, brother and sister.
"I am drunk and my brain is a little slow. Second Prince, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't keep me in suspense."
Seeing that Jiang Li was indeed drunk, Chu Mingye did not continue to keep her in suspense, and said on behalf of Chu Mingzhu: "The person that the royal sister likes is..."
"It's Emperor Yan!"
Before Chu Mingye could utter the word "Regent", he was interrupted by Chu Mingzhu beside him.
"The person Mingzhu loves is Emperor Yan!"
Chu Mingzhu looked at Jiang Li on the high seat with burning eyes and repeated what she had just said.
Everyone present was stunned. Chu Mingye turned his head and looked at Chu Mingzhu in disbelief: "Mingzhu you..."
Chu Mingzhu blinked at Chu Mingye: "Royal brother, Mingzhu is serious."
Chu Mingye pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Chu Mingzhu did say that she came to Dayan this time to see the true appearance of Chu Huaizhi, the guardian god of Dayan, so much so that Chu Mingye, Emperor Dongli and others thought that she had developed feelings for Chu Huaizhi, the regent of Dayan.
I never thought that the person Chu Mingzhu liked was the new emperor of Dayan!
Even Chu Mingzhu herself didn't know it in advance. She often heard her royal brother talk about how brave and good at fighting Chu Huaizhi, the guardian god of Dayan, was in the past. He galloped on the battlefield and turned the tide of the battle with his own strength. He was truly a remarkable figure.
I heard that the guardian god of Dayan was handsome, with a face that even women would be ashamed of. Chu Mingzhu thought that she would be moved after seeing his true appearance.
But she didn't expect that after arriving in Dayan, what made her heart beat was not the regent who seemed like a god, but the little emperor with very interesting behavior.
Wouldn't it be fun to spend the rest of my life with someone like this?
Chu Mingzhu thought so, so she interrupted Chu Mingye before he could say the name of the regent.
At this moment, Chu Mingzhu's heart was extremely firm, and the one she loved was the young emperor of Dayan who had just ascended the throne!
Not only were the ministers stunned, but even Jiang Li herself was confused.
"I?"
Jiang Li's eyes widened and she pointed at herself in disbelief.
No, I am sure, Princess Dongli actually likes her? ?
Seeing Jiang Li's shocked expression, Chu Mingzhu curled the corners of her lips and felt that the young emperor of Dayan was an interesting person even more.
"That's right, the person Mingzhu loves is Emperor Yan."
Chu Mingzhu affirmed Jiang Li's shock.
After hearing that the person Chu Mingzhu liked was Jiang Li, Chu Huaizhi frowned, and he, who had been calm all along, became a little uneasy.
He is waiting.
Wait and see what decision Jiang Li will make.
"Mingzhu really likes Emperor Yan, I wonder what Emperor Yan thinks?"
Chu Mingzhu looked at Jiang Li expectantly, and she was the first to be attracted and took the initiative to attack Jiang Li.
Chu Mingye knows his sister best. Once Chu Mingzhu takes the initiative to fight for something, it means she is serious.
After learning that the person his sister loved was actually the Emperor of Dayan, Chu Mingye began to re-examine Jiang Li.
Chu Mingye had also heard some rumors about Jiang Li. After all, Jiang Li was born to the Queen of Dayan and was the only legitimate son of the Dayan royal family.
Logically speaking, he should be the crown prince of Dayan, but it is said that he is cowardly and stupid, so he has never been made the crown prince by the previous emperor of Dayan.
At that time, they all speculated that the former emperor of Dayan would appoint a virtuous person instead of the legitimate heir.
After all, the only legitimate son, the twelfth prince, is not worthy of being reused.
Although the late Emperor of Great Yan wrote down the name of the twelfth prince in the edict of succession before his death, they all knew that this was a decision made out of necessity because the other princes were disabled.
Although the cowardly and incompetent twelfth prince finally ascended the throne, with the presence of Regent Chu Huaizhi, Dayan would not be in chaos. At most, there would be a puppet sitting on the throne who could be manipulated by others. Regent Chu Huaizhi became the real ruler of the Dayan royal family.
When the new emperor has a child, we will then focus on training that child.
But after seeing him today, Chu Mingye felt that rumors were just rumors and should not be taken seriously.
Although the Emperor of Yan in front of him was not as brave and warlike as the Regent, he was an emperor of excellent quality, both in his conversation and behavior.
Chu Mingye threw away the stereotype of Jiang Li in his mind and began to re-examine and understand her.
Chu Mingye has a principle. As long as the imperial sister likes someone and as long as the person's character and performance meet his standards, he will not stop her.
So after Chu Mingzhu said that the person she liked was Jiang Li, Chu Mingye did not interfere in the matter anymore, but just watched from the side.
Chu Mingzhu stared at Jiang Li without blinking, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Li twitched her lips in dismay: "I..."
"Your Majesty is drunk and cannot hold his liquor. We will discuss this matter after you sober up."
Chu Huaizhi stood up from his seat and his eyes fell on Chu Mingzhu and his sister.
"A drunken promise cannot be taken seriously. I'm sure what Princess Dongli wants is an answer that Your Majesty has given after careful consideration, right?"
Chu Mingzhu was stunned, and nodded helplessly under the gaze of Chu Huaizhi's deep black eyes.
"Your Majesty is not good at drinking. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all. Your Majesty and I will leave first. From now on, I, the officials of the Great Yan court, will entertain you all."
After Chu Huaizhi finished speaking, he walked up to Jiang Li, took her slender wrist and walked towards the side hall.
He was scared.
He was afraid that Jiang Li was drunk and confused, so he agreed to Princess Dongli's words.
Although these were words spoken when she was drunk, one should never joke, and once the words were out of Jiang Li's mouth, they could never be taken back.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Huaizhi clamped Jiang Li's arm and hurriedly walked towards the side hall. Before leaving, Chu Huaizhi specifically told the palace servants not to follow him.
"Uncle, you hurt me!"
Jiang Li was forced to chase after Chu Huaizhi, and her wrist was painfully grabbed by him.
Chu Huaizhi pursed his thin lips, paused and turned to look at Jiang Li.
Just as he was about to speak——
"Uncle, you are so beautiful."
This little world of mine was a little stuck in the early stages, so I’ll adjust my status and try to update for you all after the May Day holiday. Good night, my darlings!
