Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Perhaps even Chu Yueli herself did not expect that she, who had long been determined not to get involved with royal men, would end up like this with Lu Beimo.

Specious.

You are completely unaware of how things happened, yet they have already happened.

However, she has an advantage that others do not have: she does not need to dwell on the right or wrong of what has already happened, but should focus on the future.

"Ye Huai'an will probably be coming over soon, brother. Go and stall him a bit more. Just say that the prince helped you eliminate the rebels last night, and because he was happy, he drank a few too many cups and rested in your courtyard. He hasn't woken up yet."

“But…” Chu Xiaohe thought for a moment, still seemingly uneasy: “The Third Prince of Dongzhou was assassinated in the palace. This is a serious crime. Now that the person arrested is Your Highness’s third maternal uncle, this relationship is extraordinary. Your Highness… shouldn’t you be more polite to the people from the Dali Temple?”

Putting on airs like this will hinder future communication with Ye Huai'an.

Chu Yueli laughed and said, "Why be polite? Ye Huai'an is a man of principle who only looks at evidence and not personal feelings. The more polite you are to him, the more he will think that you are in the wrong."

Chu Xiaohe didn't say anything.

Ah Li's words make sense, but I'm still a little uneasy.

Getting involved with the Dali Temple is definitely not a good thing; the people there are too troublesome.

"Young Master, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has come to pay a visit." Chu Yi's voice came from outside.

"Brother, go ahead. Don't let him into your courtyard. Let him drink tea and wait in the main hall. If he dares to barge in, make him bring the Emperor's edict," Chu Yueli said.

Chu Xiaohe blinked: "Does it have to be... this aggressive?"

Ah Li used to always leave room for maneuver in front of others, so that they could meet again in the future. Such a domineering way of doing things is really rare.

"It's alright, he's just as arrogant as me, we're just birds of a feather." Chu Yueli waved her hand.

Helpless, Chu Xiaohe went to greet them himself.

Chu Yue Li didn't care what kind of commotion was going on in front of her, and just let Lu Bei Mo continue sleeping.

During that time, Zisu came to deliver two messages.

The first time, Ye Huai'an got angry and smashed a cup, trying to force his way into Chu Xiaohe's Qinghui Pavilion to see the prince in person, but Chu Xiaohe stopped him, and it is said that they even got into a fight.

Ye Huai'an never expected that Chu Xiaohe, who was usually good-tempered, would be so barbaric. He wanted to lose his temper, but the other party wouldn't eat it, so he was helpless.

The second time, Zisu came back and said that Ye Huai'an and the young master were drinking tea and chatting peacefully.

Thus, it wasn't until evening that Lu Beimo finally regained full consciousness.

After washing up, Lu Beimo changed into the new clothes that Liu Yun had specially sent him and swaggered out of Wangyue Pavilion.

Since they insisted that the person came from Qinghui Pavilion, no one could say anything.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Having finally met the legendary King of the Northern Frontier, Ye Huai'an's feelings were quite complicated.

Originally, he came with the intention of seeking redress, but after being refused an audience twice and spending most of the day at the Duke's mansion, his desire to seek redress actually diminished considerably.

Seeing Lu Beimo again now, and thinking of his title as the King of the Northern Frontier, I still feel a certain amount of respect for him.

"What is it that requires Young Master Ye to come to the Duke's mansion to find me in person?" Lu Beimo asked, flicking his robes as he sat down.

Chu Yueli accompanied him, and it was Chu Yueli who personally poured him the tea.

Ye Huai'an straightened his face and said, "Someone reported today that Marquis Jian'an is suspected of privately manufacturing weapons. Now that the Marquis is a guest at my Dali Temple, I heard that Prince Mo also participated in the operation to suppress the rebels last night. Therefore, I would like to invite Your Highness to come to Dali Temple and confront Marquis Jian'an face to face."
