Three days later.
Chu Chi was lying in the garden of Northguard Prefecture, enjoying Bai Yishu's massage.
In these three days, the Liang Emperor had not summoned Chu Chi into the palace, so Chu Chi was not in a hurry. He took this opportunity to stroll around Shangjing.
It had to be said that the capital city was the capital city, far from what other cities could compare to. Chu Chi strolled around the capital city for three days, but he still could not finish it.
Ji Zi walked into the garden and saw Chu Chi lying on a chair. She said,""Your Highness is enjoying himself every day. Today, the Liang Emperor still hasn't sent anyone to summon you.”
Chu Chi opened his eyes and asked casually,""What time is it now?"
" Your Highness, it's already afternoon." Bai Yishu replied.
Chu Chi patted Bai Yishu's hand and stood up from his chair. Stretching his back, he said,""It's almost time. Since His Majesty has not summoned me, I'll enter the palace in a while.”
"Aren't we going to wait for His Majesty to summon us?" asked Bai Yishu.”
Chu Chi smiled." We won't wait. Since His Majesty didn't summon us, we should be sensible and go greet him ourselves."”
"Your Highness, are you going now?"
"If I go now, His Majesty will probably leave me hanging for a while. It's just right to go now.”
.......
In Shangjing, there were three main streets that corresponded to the three gates of the Imperial Palace. Wude Street led to Anding Gate, which meant " Wude Anding."
Wenxing Street led to Yongle Gate, which meant "Wenxing Yongle".
Kaiping Street was the central street, running straight through the north and south. It was divided into two Urban area and led to the largest palace gate, the Gate of Heaven Influence, which meant "Kaiping of Heaven Influence".
The Northguard Prefecture was located on Wude Street. If one went east, they would reach the Anding Gate.
After being led by the imperial guards, the majestic Daliang Imperial Palace appeared before Chu Chi's eyes. The magnificent palaces, carved with jade railings, red walls, and golden tiles, were like the palaces in the sky. It was indeed worthy of being the home of an emperor in the mortal world.
Not long after entering the palace, eunuchs came and brought Chu Chi to Yangxin Hall to wait for the Emperor of Liang's summons.
Chu Chi stood outside Yangxin Palace Hall with his eyes closed and his expression calm. Because in his opinion, the Liang Emperor was definitely " not free " to meet him. As for how long he would wait, he did not know.
The sun in the sky gradually set in the west. The setting sun sprinkled on the golden tiles on the walls of the palace, emitting a mesmerizing and dreamy light. An ancient and heavy aura hit his heart.
One and a half hours.
A yellow door walked out of Yangxin Hall, saying that the Liang Emperor had summoned him, and brought Chu Chi inside.
After entering Yangxin Palace Hall, Chu Chi looked straight ahead and ignored the exquisite artifacts and treasures in the hall. It did not take long for him to finally meet the current Emperor of Daliang, the ruler of the world-Emperor Xiao Huan of Liang.
The Emperor of Liang was dressed in a dragon robe. Most of his hair was white, and his skin was a little thin. He did not look too good, but the aura on his body made people feel a clear sense of oppression.
Chu Chi glanced at it vaguely, then immediately cupped his hands and bowed: "This subject, Chu Chi, greets Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a long and prosperous life!”
When the Liang Emperor heard this, he revealed a smile and extended his hand to support him."Alright, alright. Stand up. There's no need to be so polite.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Liang sized up Chu Chi. Seeing his handsome face and unparalleled elegance, he was extremely satisfied and smiled,""As expected of Yan Xun's child, after seeing him today, his bearing is indeed extraordinary, Northern Liang has a successor.”
"I wouldn't dare, I'm just relying on Your Majesty's grace, that's all." Chu Chi said respectfully.”
The Liang Emperor said," You're too polite, child. Just treat this place like your own home. There's no need to be so reserved."”
"Yes."
After that, the Liang Emperor continued to chat with Chu Chi about daily life, trying to build up their relationship. Most of the time, it was the Liang Emperor who spoke, while Chu Chi listened quietly from the side, occasionally adding in a few sentences.
From the Prince of Beiliang to the history of the founding of Daliang, to Chu Yanxun's youth, and finally to Donghu and the Daye Kingdom, they talked about literature and poetry, and appreciated the treasures of calligraphy and painting in the palace.
All in all, the Liang Emperor was like an ordinary old man chatting with his relatives and children who had come from afar. He did not put on any airs of an emperor.
Moreover, if one were to really talk about blood relations, Chu Chi and the Liang Emperor were indeed related.
This was because the Chu family and the Xiao family had been married to each other since the founding of the country. Before the founding of the country, the two families were partners who grew up in the same place.
Not only did the first Prince of Beiliang marry the sister of the founding Emperor Liang Taizu, even Chu Chi's great-grandmother was the daughter of the Xiao family, the younger sister of the previous Emperor Liang.
Not only that, but the Chu Clan had also produced two empresses and six virtuous consorts in the history of Daliang. It was not an exaggeration to say that half of the world belonged to the Xiao Clan and half to the Chu Clan.
Let alone Chu Chi, even the current Liang Emperor Xiao Huan had the blood of the Chu Clan's daughter flowing in his veins, even though it had already been one or two generations.
However, in Chu Yanxun's generation, the Chu Clan did not have many members. Chu Yanxun only had one son, Chu Chi, and his relationship with the Xiao Clan of the Daliang Imperial Family had also faded.
That was why Xiao Huan was so anxious to strengthen the relationship between the Xiao and Chu families.
After all, the Liang Emperor was getting on in years. If he did not do this now, he might not have another chance in the future.
