"She's right. Even if it's Prince Consort Ma, he has to return to the Great Qin Nation to look for him. Why would he need those foreign races from Chiron?" The Empress Chen agreed.

The crown prince embarrassedly touched his nose, "It's still up to little sister to decide who will be the Prince Consort. It doesn't matter if she likes Chiron."

Empress Chen rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think that Ling Yun is as fearless as you?" She looked at him with suspicion, "Why did you come so late?"

The Crown Prince stammered, "I... Uncomfortable … "A bit late."

Empress Chen did not believe him, "You aren't looking for dancers again, are you?"

"I haven't," The Crown Prince shook his head, "I've been reading history books recently, so I don't have the time to read dancers."

A hint of disdain flashed past Empress Chen's eyes, "If only you had half of the Spirit Cloud."

"The emperor has arrived!" An anxious cry sounded from outside the hall, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to receive the carriage.

The three people in the palace were all startled, their hands and feet in a mess as they pushed the stiff Xianghe into an inner room. Chu Lingyun, still in a state of shock, steadied her breathing and looked at mother.

Chu Lingyun hid the panic on her face and bowed respectfully: "... Your daughter greets Royal Father. "

"You've returned to the palace, why didn't you come to the Imperial Study first? You should at least send someone to inform me, allowing me to rush over here in a hurry."

Chu Lingyun struggled a little in his embrace, "Royal Father, your daughter has yet to change after entering the palace.

"The Royal Father watched you grow up, what's there to be embarrassed about," the emperor fondled her chin and looked at the empress resentfully. "You too, why didn't you get someone to tell me that she's in the Changchun Palace?"

Empress Chen said with a smile: "It was Lingyun who did not let chenqie say so. She wanted to change into a clean set of clothes tomorrow and go see the emperor."

"Tomorrow?" The emperor gritted his teeth. "Fortunately Zhen came earlier, otherwise I would only be able to see you tomorrow."

Chu Lingyun pouted and said: "Royal Father, daughter has not seen Royal Father for quite a while, I really miss you."

Father really wants Yun'er, too," the Emperor said, tears glistening in his eyes. "Did Yun'er have a good time in the West? I feel that Yun'er has lost a lot of weight. Did he not eat properly?

The Empress Chen comforted her: "Chenqie also thinks that Little Yun has slimmed down …"

"Someone come," the Emperor shouted towards the door. "Prepare a banquet for the Royal Kitchen people to prepare carefully, tell them that the princess has returned."

The eunuch beamed and said, "So it turns out that the Princess Poyang has returned. Where can we prepare the emperor's banquet?"

"Royal Father," Chu Lingyun said as she took his arm, "The three of us haven't eaten together for a long time, why don't we put it on Changchun Palace?"

"Just as Princess had said, put it on the Changchun Palace," The Emperor held her fingers lovingly and said, "It was not easy to come back from the Chiron, you have to accompany the Royal Father more."

Chu Lingyun smiled and leaned on his shoulder, "Then your daughter will stay by Royal Father's side everyday, don't be annoyed with your daughter."

"How could that be," the Emperor rubbed her little head, "The Royal Father would like to have you turn into a jade pendant so that you can keep it by your side every day."

Tonight, the moonlight was extremely beautiful, like a fragmentary diamond that filled half of the night sky. Xue Ronghua and Chu Zongge walked along the small garden opposite of the Xinyang Hall. Mu Furong's fragrance was drifting further and further in the air, and was dispersed by the night wind.

"You sent Zhu Tong to investigate about the Prince Jin. How is it going?"

Chu Zongge lowered his eyes in disappointment, "I didn't find anything. The crown prince's residence, the Eastern Palace and the Changchun Palace didn't seem to have any clues.

"Just like the Noble Consort Kang s of the Weiyang Palace," Xue Ronghua said as she looked on, "The Mrs. Heyi s of the Luan Feng Palace are also like this."

"They were all killed by poison," Chu Zongge frowned suspiciously. "Where did Empress Chen get such great abilities from to be able to use poison that even the royal doctors could not detect?"

"But Zhu Tong noticed it," Xue Ronghua said thoughtfully, "Could it be that only someone with Chiron can detect the poison?"

Chu Zongge walked for a few steps in silence, then suddenly saw that his Changchun Palace was lit up, and from time to time, sounds of laughter could be heard coming from the palace.

"Esteemed guests are coming, is the Empress Chen hosting a feast?"

"I'm not too sure about that," Chu Zongge said as he raised his eyebrows. "The Changchun Palace has always been cold and desolate, and now that it's so lively and extraordinary, I'm afraid it's a scene that only the Emperor would want."

"Consort Hua is carrying a dragon embryo, so the emperor normally uses it for his evening meal," Xue Ronghua stuck her head out, revealing a banquet in the middle of the trees. A few blurry shadows were piled together, and she could vaguely make out the crown prince's silhouette, "What kind of noble guest would be coming to our door, to invite the emperor over from the dragon embryo's side?"

"I have never heard of the Queen inviting any esteemed guests that could affect the Emperor's life," Chu Zongge tidied up his clothes. "We have already passed the palace, if we did not enter, others would say that we do not know how to behave."

nodded in agreement. Empress Chen never liked Prince Duan, don't let the people from the Changchun Palace see that.

The emperor personally poured a cup of wine for Chu Lingyun. "This was brewed by our Board of Wine on spring day. You love ice-cold things the most, let's see how it tastes like."

Chu Lingyun took a sip of the emperor's wine affectionately as she felt a cold water gush into her throat. She sighed and smacked her lips: "Si Jiu Bureau's culinary skills are really not bad, my daughter feels as if she had ice cubes inside her mouth. It's just that this wine is not as cold as the ice shard."

The emperor smiled as he shook his head. "That ice shard is half cold after drinking it, how is it something your daughter can drink? Be careful not to feel the cold in your stomach again, rolling around in your bed like when you were little."

Chu Lingyun smiled shyly, "Our daughter is still healthy, it's not too bad for me to take a sip."

The Empress Chen hid the wine cup on the plate and poured another glass of fruit juice for her. "You should listen to your Royal Father's instructions, we don't need to worry about you after returning to the Great Qin Nation."

She raised her head slightly, and saw Chu Zongge bringing his would-be would-be wangfei over. She could not help but look dejected, revealing a displeased expression.

"This son greets the emperor, the empress, and Your Highness the crown prince."

The emperor heard the greetings from Prince Duan and Xue Ronghua, but his eyes were still on Chu Lingyun as he replied vaguely, "Get up."

Chu Zongge stood up calmly and smiled, "Empress, when I was walking in the garden with the quasi wangfei, I heard some laughter from within the Changchun Palace and came over to pay respects. I didn't expect that the Royal Father and the quasi wangfei would be hosting a feast here."

"Mm, it was a banquet specially held by the Emperor." Empress Chen glanced at them indifferently.

The crown prince chewed on a piece of dried meat and asked, "Has Prince Duan had dinner? Do you want to take a seat?"

If the emperor and empress had wanted to let them take their seats, they would have spoken long ago. The originally lively and harmonious atmosphere had suddenly turned cold and quiet due to his sudden interruption. A subtle feeling brewed on the faces of everyone in the banquet. Chu Zongge lowered his head and smiled, and said with a relaxed expression: "I hope that Crown Prince can forgive me, but quasi wangfei and I have already eaten dinner, so I won't disturb the Empress any longer."

It looked like the empress and her family were having their dinner together. It was meaningless for an outsider like him to stay here. Chu Zongge carelessly swept a glance at the girl beside Empress Chen, and couldn't help but be stunned. Who is this woman, why does she look so much like Empress Chen?

Xue Ronghua was also stunned when she saw the girl's appearance. She leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Oh my god, why does she look so similar to you?"

"How is it with me?" Chu Zongge unhappily curled his lips, "Obviously they look similar to Empress Chen."

The two of them looked at each other, knowing that this was obviously the Mrs. Heyi Liu Chengyun. Could this be the Emperor's new imperial concubine?

Chu Zongge chuckled and asked: "Royal Father, this is?"

The woman stood up first and smiled sweetly to him, "Big brother Prince Duan, I'm Little Yun, don't you remember me?"

Chu Zongge was instantly submerged by the memories of the crown prince. The girl in front of him was Princess Poyang Chu Lingyun, his own daughter, and the crown prince's younger sister.

Xue Ronghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Where did all these people from, one from the previous generation was Liu Chengyun, and the other was Chu Lingyun. The two of them looked exactly the same.

"So it's Little Yun," Chu Zongge said as he rolled his eyes. Yuan Su seemed to be very close to this little sister, "When did Little Yun return?"

"She came back yesterday," The crown prince indifferently swept him a glance, a smile was on his lips, "Prince Duan didn't know?"

"Sigh, don't blame Prince Duan, Crown Prince," the Empress Chen said faintly. "Little Yun is not her sister, so the Prince Duan is naturally not clear about this."

Chu Zongge understood in his heart that the mother and son were blaming him for not caring about his sister again. He turned his head to look at Chu Lingyun with a smile and said, "You have stayed at the Chiron for three years.

"Yeah, it's fun, but it's a bit difficult to eat."

Chu Zongge nodded his head. His Chiron and the Great Qin Empire's diet were indeed on a whole different level, "What did you gain from going to the Chiron for three years?"

Chu Lingyun chuckled: "I have lived in the Chiron for three years, touring the mountains and rivers in the meantime, and have experienced many local customs and traditions."

"Has Little Yun ever been to the Chiron Palace?"

"Of course," Chu Lingyun thought for a moment, then said, "I am precisely going as an ambassador for Qin Nation."

Originally, she had borrowed the name of an envoy to visit the Chiron for a sightseeing trip. Xue Ronghua could not help but smile, this princess was actually quite adorable.

Chu Lingyun opened her eyes wide and looked towards Xue Ronghua. "This big sister is Prince Duan's big brother's quasi wangfei?"

"Yes," Chu Zongge took a step back, and revealed himself in front of everyone, "Your sister-in-law is the young miss of Prime Minister Xue's family."

The moonlight poured down and sprinkled onto Xue Ronghua's tea white clothes, causing her skin to become even whiter and more exquisite, with a glimmer on her skin. Chu Lingyun was startled for a moment, then smiled and bowed: "Your servant sister greets sister-in-law."

Xue Ronghua smiled and said, "I don't dare to accept it, but I'm still not a wangfei after all."

"Isn't becoming the princess consort of Prince Duan's big brother something that will happen sooner or later?" Chu Lingyun held up a cup of wine, and indicated towards Prince Duan, "During Royal Brother's grand wedding, you must ask this subject's sister."

He was finally able to meet a brother and sister in the palace who were not difficult to get along with. Chu Zongge had a relaxed and joyful expression as he said with a smile: "As a brother, how could I not invite little sisters? Not only will I invite Little Yun, I'll also make him sit at the best seat."

Chu Lingyun clapped happily and said: "Then I will thank Prince Duan brother very much."
