The next day, the hot sun shone into the Eastern Pavilion. Although there were ice cubes in the Princess Residence's bedroom to cool down, Yun Qingyu still woke up from the heat. In his sleep, Xin Yao hooked Yun Qingyu in his arms with one hand. Yun Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not push away. He let Xin Yao hug him, and it felt quite comfortable. He was not hot in an instant. He reached out and gently touched Xin Yao's neck. Xin Yao's body was usually the same as that of an ordinary person, but he would be cold all over when he fell asleep. In this hot summer, Yun Qingyu sighed that he had found a treasure. In the hot summer, although Yun Qingyu did not have air conditioning, he had Xin Yao, a human-shaped ice baby. As long as he got close and touched it, he would feel cool and comfortable. Xin Yao felt a little itchy when Yun Qingyu touched him, but he knew the temperature of his body and his master liked it. He immediately turned over and hugged Yun Qingyu tightly in his arms to cool him down better. At this moment, he really looked like a Consort. A moment later, Yun Lingchuan's voice asking for a meeting was heard outside the house. Yun Qingyu moved away from Xin Yao's arms and turned over to sit up. Xin Yao, the guy who pretended to be asleep, also blushed and got up and went outside first. Yun Lingchuan hurried over and saw Xin Yao getting down from the princess's bed. He was thoughtful, Xin Yao had been sleeping on the princess's bed all the time. Until Yun Qingyu came out, he quickly handed over a pigeon letter and said, "Your Highness, this is a message from War King." But his eyes were always fixed on Xin Yao's skillful action of putting on clothes. Yun Qingyu calmly glanced at Yun Lingchuan who was hesitant to speak, and sat directly in front of the dressing table, letting Jing Lan comb her hair. She looked at the pigeon letter, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Second brother will arrive tomorrow, quite fast. This Palace said that Yun Tiankuo's prince title can be kept for three days, it seems that he is still honored." Xin Yao stood aside, watching Jing Lan combing his master's hair without blinking, his eyes revealing concentration and curiosity, his hands unconsciously clenched slightly, ready to move, thinking in his heart that he also wanted to do his master's makeup and draw eyebrows. Yun Qingyu seemed to have some feelings, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought in his heart, a good man of seven feet wants to learn to comb hair and draw eyebrows. Then her father appeared in her mind, also drawing eyebrows, bunning hair, dressing and socks for her mother. Maybe she understood. Yun Lingchuan looked at Xin Yao's loving eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he smiled dryly and said: "Today we can make Prince Yun Tiankuo a Duke. The War King said that the document of the Emissary's visit can be delivered to Western Chu today." 0
 
 
Yun Qingyu handed the hairpin to Xin Yao, satisfying his desire to dress up for himself, and smiled, "Second brother is great, he really makes me proud." Xin Yao felt the favor of his master, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, very happy, carefully took the hairpin, and put it on his master as he wished. Yun Lingchuan saw this intimate scene, sighed softly, and said: "War King is indeed thinking about His Highness, but His Highness should think about how to explain to War King." Yun Qingyu looked puzzled, and asked doubtfully: "What to explain?" He thought to himself, can't I decide my own marriage? Yun Lingchuan was about to speak when Yun Qingyu walked out, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, This Palace go into the palace first and sign a life and death agreement with those people who are looking for death. We can talk about other things when we come back from This Palace." Xin Yao thought that his master's second brother was the noble prince who commanded 400,000 troops in Dongling, and his identity was just a shadow guard. His second brother would not agree to such a Consort. He began to get nervous, his body slightly tense, and his hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes. At the same time, in duke Xuan's Mansion, Consort Xuan brought back the queen's oral order: "The queen mother asked the prince to keep his troops in place for the next two days and not to easily become an enemy of Yun Qingyu. She suspected that someone deliberately wanted to provoke the relationship between the prince and Eldest Princess." duke Xuan shook his head slowly, his expression serious, and said, "It's too late. The prince has already confronted Yun Qingyu head-on." He briefly described what happened in the Imperial Palace. Consort Xuan fell silent, thinking to himself that instead of continuing to try to please others, it would be better to make him lose his threat. Today's Court Session, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne spoke majestically: "I have asked Chen Hai to draft a contract. After a night of thinking, do you have any thoughts of going back on your word?" Yun Qingyu turned his head to look at Yun Tiankuo, his eyes calm, and asked: "Does Second Prince want to go back on his word?" The spies in Yun Tiankuo's hands all said that no team had entered Western Chu. He raised his chin slightly, smiled faintly, and said: "A man's word is as good as gold. How can he easily go back on his word?" Upon hearing this, the emperor ordered in a deep voice: "Chen Hai." Chen Hai immediately took a step forward, holding the contract in both hands, and read aloud: "If Dongling Emissary arrives within three days, then Duke Xuan will be demoted to the prince, and Uncle Qin to the Emperor will be relieved of all his duties in the court. Otherwise, then Princess Consort will be stripped of all privileges and will no longer be involved in the affairs of the court." The ministers were all confused, looking at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces. The emperor explained the whole story: "Qingyu promised three months ago that Dongling would have an Emissary arrive in Western Qi before July, and this year's tribute ceremony would be exempted. So Eldest Princess and Duke Xuan made a bet within three days, and today, all of you, my dear ministers, will be witnesses with me." 0
 
 
Chen HaiAfter they each reviewed it, he put the pen and ink in place. Yun Qingyu took the lead, picked up the pen, and wrote his name without hesitation with a calm look in his eyes. Yun Tiankuowas a little unconfident when he saw this, and thought to himself, does Yun Qingyuknow what this bet means? Why can she be so calm and confident? He thought so in his heart, and couldn't put down the pen for a long time, because he knew that if he made a mistake, if something unexpected happened, he would really have no chance of becoming the crown prince. Yun Qingyuhurriedly spoke up to help him make up his mind. "Second PrinceAre you scared and want to regret it? Think about what you said last time, a man's word is as good as gold." Yun Tiankuo's mouth twitched slightly, a little dry, and said, "How could it be? I'll sign it now." He took a deep breath and finally put down the pen. On this side, Qin Uncle to the Emperorbelieved in the news he saw from beginning to end, so he signed and sealed it decisively, with a quick and neat action. However, just as they signed the bet, an urgent message was sent to the imperial city with an express of 800 miles. As soon as the contract was delivered to the emperor, the Imperial Guards reported: "Dongling Emissary submitted the document for the emperor's review." Yun Tiankuo's expression became stiff and pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, his body trembled slightly, and he turned around and looked outside the hall dully, muttering to himself: "Words are not enough, a written contract is enough." 0
