Chapter 297

When Chu Zongge came to the main hall, he found several people similar to the Xirong people waiting. Among them, a man dressed very expensive carried his body. Seems to be the master of them.

Chu Zongge arched his hands with doubts and said, "dare to be a distinguished guest?"

The noble man must come. It's a handsome face. He was graceful and jade tree faced the wind. He saluted him and said, "I'm afraid Duan wang hasn't seen me. I went to Xirong when I was very young. I grew up in Xirong."

Chu Zongge looked at his bright smiling face in wonder, "I've never heard who grew up in Xirong. Only her sister princess Poyang once stayed in Xirong for three years. Dare you ask if your guest is Princess Poyang?"

"I am different from the princess. The princess was born by the emperor. I stayed in Xirong's palace for three years, and I grew up in ordinary people's homes in Xirong," the man smiled like a spring breeze. "My name is Chu Chengxun."

The name is familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere. Chu Zongge frowned gently, and suddenly his eyes brightened, "are you little uncle Huang?"

Chu Chengxun had a stronger smile on his lips. "You can remember. I'm still afraid you haven't seen me. Even if you say your name, you may not know me."

"How could I not know uncle Huang?" Chu Zongge said with a smile. Chu Chengxun is the emperor's youngest brother and his youngest uncle. He looked three years older than him and was fostered in Xirong from childhood. "Has uncle Huang just returned from Xirong?"

"Yes, the winter in the state of Qin is much colder than that in Xirong. I almost froze to death on the road," Chu Chengxun sat down and drank a cup of hot tea. "I'm afraid you're not used to it just after you came back from the state of Qi."

"In fact, it's OK. The state of Qi is not much hotter than the state of Qin," Chu Zongge sighed faintly. "But my prospective princess has suffered some wind cold and is still lying in bed. She doesn't even have the symptoms of improvement."

Chu Chengxun looked at one of the servants with a low eyebrow. The servant immediately presented a brocade box, "here are the precious medicinal materials of Xirong. Among them, one herbal medicine is the most effective to cure the wind and cold. Duanwang boiled it for the princess to be, and it will get better in seven days."

Chu Zongge was stunned by this sudden concern, and almost didn't respond, "thank you for your kindness, uncle Huang. We just met, and you gave your nephew such a big gift."

"Although we have never met, we are related by blood after all. It is right for me to help my nephew," Chu Chengxun said with a soft smile, "I also know that the prince and the king of Jin have passed away. You are the only nephew around me. This time I can finally return to the state of Qin. I brought you many gifts, including some rouge powder from Xirong, which is specially for the princess to be."

Chu Zongge smiled, "Uncle Huang really has a heart. I don't know how to thank uncle Huang."

"Can we still use any words of thanks between our uncles and nephews?" Chu Chengxun looked at the scene of the sun setting outside. "It's getting late now. I have to go into the palace to meet the emperor, so I'll leave first."

A servant nearby whispered, "it's late. The emperor is afraid that he will have dinner soon. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to enter the palace at this time. It's better to find an inn for a night and enter the Palace tomorrow morning."

After hearing the song, Chu Zong naturally wanted to do his best as a host, "if Uncle Huang doesn't dislike it, he can stay in my house for the time being. Now it's late and the snow is heavy outside. It's better to stay here for a few nights and then go into the palace to greet the emperor. Won't it delay the time?"

Chu Chengxun frowned and thought for a moment, "the emperor doesn't know that I've arrived in Kyoto yet. It's good to stay in your house and wait for the snow to stop, but it won't hinder your business. I'm an uninvited guest when I come here suddenly."

"Uncle Huang just said that we are connected by blood. How can we say that we are uninvited guests?" Chu Zongge smiled and asked his men to pick up their luggage. "I'll stay in the palace tonight. I still have many good Kyoto wines that can be used to entertain uncle Huang."

Chu Chengxun immediately became interested, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I've been salivating for good wine in Kyoto for a long time. I didn't expect to taste it first in Duanwang's house. Several of my servants are specialized in making Xirong dishes. Let them show their hands and cook wine and dishes for us."

Chu Zongge nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle Huang and I met for the first time, but it seemed that we had seen each other a long time ago. It turned out to be the first time we met, just like an old friend."

"That's very clever," Chu Chengxun touched his chin. "I haven't had time to see the emperor. How is his health recently? I heard that there are a pair of twin princes in the palace. They are very smart. I haven't had time to congratulate the emperor."

"It was born to Princess Fu Guifei, a princess from the state of Qi. The emperor loves the two princes very much and wants to take them with him all the time," Chu Zongge said after thinking in his heart. "The emperor is in good health recently. He is in his prime of life."

"That's good. What I think most all the way is the emperor's body," Chu Chengxun closed the tea cover and looked at him up and down. "After King Duan and princess to be stayed in the state of Qi for so long, how can I return to the state of Qin now? It doesn't take so long to be an envoy?"

Chu Zongge had to perfunctory in the past and said with a smile, "this is the emperor's will. I can only do it. However, the relationship between the prospective Princess and Princess Poyang is excellent. It is also to help her adapt to the palace life in the state of Qi."

Xue ronghua thought about it in his room. He almost ate up a whole plate of preserves before he saw Chu Zongge come back.

Zhui'er looked at them as if there was something private to say. He quickly found an excuse to pick up the plate and go down. Chu Zongge watched zhui'er's back disappear in front of the door, but he still didn't mean to speak.

Xue ronghua was tortured by the bitter medicine in his throat and asked, "I heard zhui'er say that the people there are a bit like Xirong people. The leading man has a royal flavor, but from the perspective of dress, he is more powerful than you. It can be seen that he is higher than you. Should he not be your royal uncle?"

Chu Zongge was surprised that she guessed it so easily, "how do you know? Have you heard that one of my uncle Huang was sent to Xirong since he was a child?"

"Isn't he the prime minister? He is the youngest Prince of the former Emperor, your youngest uncle, and the emperor's compatriots and brothers," Xue ronghua swallowed and whispered, "but the former Emperor didn't like the Empress Dowager very much, so that the prime minister was sent away from home as soon as he was born."

"It's all the disputes of the previous generation. We're just chatting here," Chu Zongge rubbed his eyebrows upset. "The king stayed in the palace until the snow stopped and then went into the palace to see the emperor."

Xue ronghua was stunned. "He came to see you before meeting the emperor. I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the rules?"

"Of course, it's against the rules. I don't know whether he did it on purpose or stayed in Xirong for a long time and forgot the rules of the state of Qin," Chu Zongge said. "But from the gifts he gave me, he was very interested in my nephew who hadn't met. Even if you were ill, he immediately sent me medicinal herbs."

Xue ronghua widened his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart, "the king is so polite that he doesn't want you to do anything for him. Don't spend money after the sweet dates."

"I don't know. He always looked like a good uncle Huang, so I had to perfunctory," Chu Zongge's eyes darkened. "It's just that the Xiang Wang has stayed in Xirong for so many years. He can do anything that needs my help, and he specially came to see me before the Emperor."

"Isn't he going to stay in the palace for a few more days? You can slowly see what his real intention is," Xue ronghua yawned. "What medicinal materials did the king give you? Do you think they are useful?"

"It's all brought by Xirong. I've checked it. It can cure the cold," Chu Zongge touched her back. "The king promised that you would get better in seven days. You don't have to suffer any more."

Xue ronghua covered his red cheek and said with a smile, "then I'll use your Xirong magic medicine to see if it really has such a powerful effect."

"There are a lot of exotic flowers and plants in Xirong. Maybe you can cure your cold at once," Chu Zongge said with a smile. "Did you sleep well just now? You look like you're still yawning. You don't have enough sleep."

Xue ronghua glared at him angrily, "if you get cold like me, you must be sleepier than me. You stay in the quilt every day and don't want to come out for a moment."

"That's not good. If I sleep in bed all day, others think I've married a fox who has become an elite in the mountains and forests," Chu Zongge approached her with an ambiguous smile, "but I haven't tried to infect the wind and cold. Why don't you let me try it today?"

Xue ronghua shyly hid under the quilt and kicked him angrily. "Chuaier just walked away. Be careful. She'll be back soon."

"Your maid is still the same as before. She always likes to disturb us," Chu Zongge held her face and looked brightly. "Ronghua, why don't you infect me with the wind and cold? We'll lie in the room every day and don't have to go out to work anymore."

"Get out, I don't want to stay in the room with you every day," Xue ronghua said shyly and anxiously, pushing him away. "What's the matter with you? Go away."

"I also want to ask you what's going on. How did you resist me as soon as you returned to the state of Qin? It's not as clever as in the state of Qi," Chu Zongge smiled and no longer forced her, but gently hugged her in his arms. "What's the matter with you? Are you tired on the way back?"

Xue ronghua settled down in his arms and murmured in a low voice, "I don't know such a thing. When I get sick, I feel my whole body is soft. I don't want to see others or get close to others."

Chu Zongge looked at the fatigue between her eyebrows and eyes and sighed slightly, "maybe you have completed your revenge plan and returned to the state of Qin to continue to help me become a reserve king. You are a little tired for a time."
