“It would be better to appoint a princess to marry to the North. Maybe the emperor’s uncle also has daughters in his family. They are also royal relatives and should serve the country.” Chu Qianxiu said in a deep voice.
This statement was flawless, but it didn't say what Su Bei wanted to hear. It was really frustrating! At this moment, Tang Jiang's voice came from outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!"
Chu Younan's arrival instantly made Su Bei feel at ease. As long as he was there, there was nothing he couldn't figure out.
But his arrival also made Chu Qianxiu nervous. After all, he had driven away all the people Chu Younan sent yesterday.
"Father!" After Chu Qianxiu greeted him, he decided to confess. "I didn't keep the palace maids I sent for trial marriage yesterday. I hope you can forgive me. I feel that I am still young. I hope you can allow me to leave the palace to gain some experience."
"I agree!" Chu Younan answered almost without thinking.
Su Bei felt very uncomfortable and reached out to pull his sleeve, his eyes full of aggrieved. However, the two of them had already reached a tacit understanding that one would never interfere with the decision of the other.
Chu Younan remained indifferent and even reminded Chu Qianxiu to bring more money.
After finally waiting for Chu Qianxiu to leave, Su Bei got angry: "He doesn't even know martial arts, why did you let him go out of the palace to train? He was not allowed to bring anyone with him, how dangerous would it be for him to be alone?"
"He wants to go to Miaojiang." Chu Younan said lightly.
Su Bei stopped talking for a long time before he spoke angrily: "Did he know something?"
"He probably doesn't know yet, but he may have noticed something. But I think we should respect his choice."
Respect is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. In Su Bei's eyes, they are all like children who have not grown up. You know, the world is dangerous, and the Miao border is dangerous...
"And he wants to take Xiao Tangyuan out of the palace with him." Chu Younan added.
Su Bei's attention was instantly diverted, "Does he really have other feelings for Xiao Tangyuan?"
"That's not the case. He's just afraid that you'll marry little Tangyuan off to the north." Chu Younan squinted at her, "Are you making up stories for the child again?"
"Uh... I just mean that there's someone coming from the North who wants to marry one here. I just wanted to test him..." Su Bei knew he was in the wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Chu Younan chuckled and shook his head, "You only want to test him, why haven't you thought about whether your own daughter is interested in him?"
Su Bei suddenly realized something. Yes, he should test Xiao Tangyuan as well. After all, this is a matter that requires mutual consent.
Chu Qianyi was going to help Chu Qianxiu feed the insects today, but before she could leave, she was greeted by Su Bei. The girl's bright eyes were like stars, and her smile made the sea of stars pale in comparison. "Why is the Queen Mother here today? Are you here to settle some account with me?"
"Have you done something bad?" Su Bei pretended to be angry.
Chu Qianyi smiled slyly, "Didn't the emperor send a few palace maids to my brother yesterday? I saw that those people made my brother angry, so I drove them all away."
After saying that, she defended herself, "My brother has a lot of people serving him, why add so many people? Besides, they are making a fuss when they see bugs. They are not serving him, but causing trouble for him!"
The two children cared about each other, but Su Bei was not sure whether their relationship had reached that stage, so she whispered a few words to Chu Qianyi.
Before he could finish his words, Chu Qianyi was petrified as if he had been struck by lightning.
"He will leave the palace tomorrow, so don't tell him about this." Su Bei warned.
Chu Qianyi didn't say anything, completely overwhelmed by shock.
Su Bei turned and left. At the corner, Chu Younan flicked her head and said, "You're bluffing the child again!"
"It's healthier to bluff!" Su Bei covered his forehead and glared at him.
"You took me with you. How much will little Tangyuan hate me later?" Chu Younan looked at the direction of Chu Qianyi's bedroom with some heartache.
"I didn't lie. It was indeed you who brought the little bun back for me to raise..." Su Bei rolled his eyes at him.
However, anyone who heard this would think that Chu Qianxiu might be the child of Chu Younan and someone else. In addition, Chu Qianxiu was going to leave the palace tomorrow. It was estimated that Chu Qianyi would definitely think that Chu Younan was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so she quickly let him leave the palace.
Chu Younan: Baby feels so wronged...
Su Bei: For the happiness of Qian Yi and Qian Xiu, as a father, you have to make some sacrifices. After all, those who are innocent will be cleared...
Chu Qianyi had mixed feelings at the moment. She herself couldn't explain what she was feeling, but she had grown up with Chu Qianxiu since she was a child and didn't want to be separated from him.
Su Bei didn't allow this matter to be spread outside. She was restless that day and didn't dare to see Chu Qianxiu for fear that she might let something slip. But she couldn't stay in the palace either.
Just when she was feeling restless, Chu Qianzheng was packing his bags in a hurry. Unfortunately, his plan to take Chu Qianyi out of the palace together fell through. Su Bei was worried about his safety, so he asked Yuanfeng to follow him.
Yuanfeng is his father's confidant, so Chu Qianxiu dared not let him know about his plan to take Chu Qianyi out of the palace. He had no choice but to think about leaving the palace first and make other plans later.
The feeling of leaving the palace by himself was different from leaving the palace with Su Bei. Chu Qianxiu felt unprecedented freedom, so as soon as he left the palace he found a small stall and prepared to order some food.
"Sir, we have rice and noodle soup dumplings, steamed buns, wontons and glutinous rice balls. What would you like?"
"Little bun!" Before Chu Qianxiu could speak, Chu Qianyi's voice came.
The waiter laughed awkwardly, "We only have big buns at home, no small buns."
But no one paid any attention to him. Chu Qianxiu turned around, his eyes full of joy, "Little Tangyuan!"
The waiter still looked embarrassed, "We only have big dumplings at home, no small dumplings!"
"Okay, okay, just give us the buns and rice balls for four people!" The speaker was Yun Rou, who was sent by Su Bei to follow Chu Qianyi.
I really don’t know if Su Bei did it on purpose. He actually arranged her and Yuan Feng together again. Yun Rou sat opposite Yuan Feng, and her toes almost dug out a palace.
Yuanfeng was not in a much better condition. He was radiant and energetic just now, but as soon as he saw Yunrou, he immediately wilted.
Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianxiu didn't notice them. The two of them could roughly guess each other's thoughts with just a glance, and were secretly happy about their tacit understanding with each other.
"I'm planning to go to Miaojiang, what about you?" Chu Qianxiu scooped up the glutinous rice ball and took a bite.
Chu Qianyi also picked up a bun and took a bite, "Where you go, I'll go!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Over there, Yunrou and Yuanfeng were not so harmonious.
Yun Rou lowered her voice and said to herself, "Why did I have to send you here?"
Yuanfeng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty didn't expect the two princes to get together..."
"I can protect them both by myself, why don't you find a place to rest!" Yun Rou rolled her eyes at him.
Was this a challenge to Yuan Feng's ability? Yuan Feng was a little angry at the moment, "I can do it too, but you're a woman, so you should take a rest!"
