Chapter 495 Extra - Do you like this kind of thing?

He said this without the slightest reluctance or annoyance, which surprised Ye Qingning. But in any case, it was good news that they were leaving now.

Ye Qingning quickly bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness."

Although Chen Shi looked suspicious, he didn't ask any more questions: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely come to Chuyun Palace another day. Remember to teach me how to skateboard."

"Okay," Ye Qingning replied.

...

After leaving Chuyun Palace, Chen Shi finally asked, "Brother, since you're neither staying at Wutong Residence nor at Chuyun Palace... when will you give me a little nephew?"

Chen Ci tapped her: "How do you know about my little nephew? I'm so engrossed in politics, working day and night."

Chen Shi fiddled with her fingers: "It's not that it's impossible, I'm just afraid..."

Seeing her hesitant expression, Chen Ci asked her, "What are you afraid of?"

Chen Shi mustered her courage: "Could it be that you, brother, are gay?"

Chen Ci was speechless. He wanted to pry open Chen Shi's brain to see what kind of messy mush was inside.

"No!" he emphasized, "I'm a beautiful woman!"

Chen Shi looked incredulous: "I saw it all in the peach grove just now."

What did you see?

"I saw you and Chu Song exchanging glances!"

Chen Ci paused for a moment, then raised his hand to rub his temples: "I just thought he was special, so I glanced at him a couple more times!"

"Right, you admitted it yourself, didn't you!"

"Admit what?"

"Chu and Song are special!" Chen Shi emphasized: "Only in the eyes of lovers is the other person special!"

Chen Ci was speechless for a moment, and could only say, "The reason I did not stay at Wutong Residence and Chuyun Palace is entirely because after I fainted last time, the imperial physician diagnosed that I was weak and needed to recuperate. I need to rest and recuperate completely before I can stay at Wutong Residence and Chuyun Palace."

Chen Shi blinked: "Really?"

Chen Ci nodded, his voice genuinely weak: "Really..."

Chen Shi then happily took his arm: "Now I can rest assured."

Chen Ci sighed helplessly, and then Chen Shi said, "In that case, brother, could you please ask the Crown Princess for Chu Song for me? I want to bring him back to the palace."

Chen Ci was completely taken aback by Chen Shi's request and immediately paused for a moment: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just building a bigger peach orchard for Mother, for her birthday... Ah! Brother, why did you hit my head again?"

Before Chen Shi could finish speaking, Chen Ci smacked him hard, causing Chen Shi to immediately bristle and jump to the side, hands on her hips, glaring at him.

Chen Ci's face was full of speechlessness: "You've already used the Empress Dowager's birthday as a pretext to get quite a few things."

"No way..."

"Learning flower arranging from Consort Shu, learning skateboarding from Qing'er, and now I'm taking Chu Song back to the palace to build a peach grove..."

Chen Shi stuck out her tongue, realizing she might have gone a tiny bit too far: "Okay, okay... if you don't want it, then don't..."

Her tone lowered slightly: "I just felt that Chu Song's gaze towards the Crown Princess was a bit off."

"What did you say?" Chen Ci asked, his heart skipping a beat.

Chu Song's gaze towards Ye Qingning was indeed strange, which is why he guessed that Chu Song was Lin Feiyan.

But he also suspected he was mistaken, and Chen Shi was saying the same thing...

“I just feel like something’s off with Chu Song. There’s something wrong with his eyes. He looks at you with such affection, and he looks at your sister-in-law with such tenderness. He even said that the beautiful moonlight means it’s going to be cloudy and rainy…”

Chen Ci thought for a moment and then smiled.

It seems he guessed correctly.

His comments about the overcast and rainy weather just now were probably just a way of saying he didn't want him to stay overnight in Chuyun Palace.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to rub Chen Shi's head: "How can such a little person like you have so many things in your head? You should think about what you want your brother to say when you see Ye Zhiyuan tomorrow!"

Speaking of this, Chen Shi became dejected again.

"Ughhhhh~ Why do I have to get married?!"
