I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 160 Fighting for favor

After the two of them sat down, the maids also walked into the dining pavilion carrying the meals.

"Let's eat." After Xie Chuyue said this, she was the first to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Chu Jinghong and Hongye waited until Xie Chuyue started eating before they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Because they were in her own house, Xie Chuyue didn't care about not talking while eating or sleeping. She said to the two of them while eating, "Don't come and jump in front of me when you have nothing to do. I find it annoying."

Chu Jinghong ate quietly, pretending not to hear anything.

Hearing this, Hongye swallowed what he had in his mouth, then blinked his ignorant eyes at Xie Chuyue and said, "Brother Jinghong said that Her Royal Highness the Princess is of noble status and is the owner of the Princess's Mansion. As male concubines, we are required to pay respects to Her Royal Highness the morning and evening visits and pay our respects on time."

Xie Chuyue: [Are these two okay? I can’t follow their train of thought. ]

Thinking so, Xie Chuyue looked at Chu Jinghong. It turned out that it was this guy who came up with a bad idea, and Hongye was completely fooled by Chu Jinghong.

If I were angry, I would definitely punish Hongye, after all, she was the one who spoke first. If I didn't punish her, both of us had achieved our goals, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

Chu Jinghong, Hongye: ………What is a brain circuit?

System: [Host, you can be patient or just treat them as farting. ]

Chu Jinghong ate very elegantly, just like a noble young man from an aristocratic family. After he finished eating, he slowly spoke: "It is essential to visit each other every morning and evening. Moreover, it would be great if I could dine with Her Royal Highness the Princess like I am doing now."

Xie Chuyue decisively put down her chopsticks, propped up her chin with one hand, and looked at the two people. These two annoying things made her feel uncomfortable just by looking at them, and even more uncomfortable while eating them.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. If you two want to leave, you can leave immediately. But if you don't want to leave and choose to stay, then you will stay with me for the rest of your life. No one of you can leave. If you leave, I will kill you."

When Xie Chuyue finished speaking, her tone was full of murderous intent. She didn't need anyone who would betray their master.

After hearing this, the two of them froze for a moment, and then Hongye returned to his usual nonchalant self.

Chu Jinghong also regained his composure and spoke calmly, "I am truly impressed by the beauty, martial arts, and intelligence of the eldest princess. Her Royal Highness is wise and powerful. Jinghong wants to be her male favorite for the rest of my life and serve her. Jinghong's requirements are not high. I hope that Your Highness will treat me equally and show me a little love and care occasionally."

Xie Chuyue listened quietly to Chu Jinghong playing the flute.

When she heard about the offer of a little pity, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she said calmly: "I don't have time to pity you. I don't have time to watch you compete for favor."

System: [Host, is Chu Jinghong really attracted to you? Host, you are indeed stunningly beautiful and have great martial arts skills. What he said should not be against his will.]

Xie Chuyue: [That’s why I want to nip their dreams in the bud. Whether they are tempted or not, as long as I am firm in my attitude, they will naturally know how to restrain themselves.]

Chu Jinghong: …………

Hongye: ………It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether the princess likes him or not. What matters is that I like the hustle and bustle. In the future, I’ll encourage Her Highness the Princess to get more male favorites. That way it will be more fun to compete for favor.

Hongye seemed to have suffered great injustice. "Your Highness, what you said really hurts my heart. We are all your male favorites. Since we are your male favorites, your Highness should love us well. How can you let us be neglected?"

Xie Chuyue cursed inwardly, but her face was expressionless: "So, what do you want to say?"

Hongye: "I want to sit in the seat where the young master sits."

The system obediently gave up its seat and motioned Hongye to sit over. Hongye said, "Second brother is the best."

Then he looked at Xie Chuyue's expression, and seeing that Xie Chuyue did not stop him, he ran over and sat on Xie Chuyue's right.

After that, Xie Chuyue was full, so she stood up and said to the three of them, "I still have things to do, and I may be back in the evening. I don't have time to deal with you today, so after breakfast, you guys can do whatever you need to do."

Hongye blinked and asked innocently, "Your Highness, do you mean that you can deal with us after today?"

"No time!"

Xie Chuyue threw down two words and left the dining pavilion.

After watching Xie Chuyue leave, Hongye and Chu Jinghong slowly started to eat. However, seeing that the system sitting beside them had not touched its chopsticks from beginning to end, Hongye kindly reminded them, "The princess is not here, you can relax a little and eat quickly. People are like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry."

Chu Jinghong also looked at the system. He really couldn't see through this man, which was very strange. He thought he was always good at judging people.

The system had no expression on its face: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has punished me by not allowing me to eat for a day."

The two of them understood that it seemed that this young master had offended the eldest princess.

"How miserable!" Hongye said how miserable it was, and then started eating.

Xie Chuyue had just returned to her courtyard and was about to pack up and leave the house when Qingyan came in and said, "Master, Eunuch Fu is here."

Xie Chuyue frowned slightly. Why did Eunuch Fu come to see her? She had just returned to the capital, and she hadn't made any mistakes yet.

Wait, could it be that her father asked her to go to the palace to review memorials?

Although she really didn't want to review the memorials, she still had to see him, "Let him in."

Soon, Fudesheng was brought to the reception room by Qingyan. When Xie Chuyue came over, Fudesheng quickly bowed to her and said, "This old servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xie Chuyue raised his hand. He did not intend to exchange too many pleasantries and asked directly: "Eunuch Fu, why did you come to my house? Does my father want to see me for something?"

Fudesheng nodded and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to bring three male favorites to the palace for the Emperor to see."

Hearing what Eunuch Fu said, Xie Chuyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I wasn't dragged by my father to do hard labor. But what does it mean to bring a male favorite into the palace for my father to see? What does my father want to do?"

Fudesheng: ………Didn’t their head princess understand what he said?

Although his knowledge is not very good, it is not so bad that people can't even understand what he says.

When Fudesheng decided to explain it to his eldest princess again, he saw her nodded.

"Yes, I understand. I am not free today, so I will take them to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. Please go back to the palace and inform the emperor."

Xie Chuyue said this calmly, but Eunuch Fu's face was full of disbelief.

Your Highness the Princess, are you disobeying my order?

right? right?

Openly disobey the order!

But he really had to agree to it even if he didn't want to. He had no choice. Who asked her to be favored?

"I will report the truth to the Emperor when I return to the palace."

"Well, take care. I won't see you off!" Xie Chuyue said and left first, completely ignoring Eunuch Fu who was still standing there in a daze.

She was going to Beiqi Kingdom and didn't know when she would be back. In Nanyue Kingdom, there were still some things that had not been dealt with or resolved.

Therefore, she had to act as soon as possible, get all the necessary information, collect all the necessary evidence, and ensure that everything was foolproof. No matter whether it was in the court or in the outside world, she would not leave any hidden dangers for her father.
