Bo Chi opened his eyes wide, his porcelain-white face flushed, and he said angrily, "You are so bad, Yu Zhao, how dare you tease this princess!"
Yu Zhao hadn't realized that what he said was ambiguous, and looked at her in confusion: "?"
Bo Chi tried to keep a straight face, but it didn't work. His almond-shaped eyes were full of ripples, and his fierce tone could not hide his shyness and panic: "You, you are not allowed to think about me!"
Yu Zhao paused, and after forbearing for a while, he put his fist to his lips, and with great difficulty suppressed the urge to raise the corners of his lips. With a smile in his eyes, he said: "Well... I will listen to the princess."
Bo Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief and snorted, "Since you still have the mind to think about this and that, it seems that you have something important to ask this princess."
Speaking of business, Yu Zhao's expression gradually calmed down and he shook his head, "No, it's very important. It's related to your lifelong event, Princess."
Bo Chi's eyes flickered, and he approached her with a smile, and said cunningly like a little fox: "Why, now you think clearly, you plan to marry me?"
This was the second time Yu Zhao heard her say this.
The first time, Yu Zhao's calm mood fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He just thought it was a whim of the little princess and didn't take it to heart.
Now, when she heard these words again, her heartbeat quickened. The first thing she thought of was not rejection, but pity...
It's a pity that she is not a man.
So much so that there was no chance to even try to get closer.
Yu Zhao was in a low mood. He closed his eyes and said calmly, "Princess, don't talk nonsense. It's your parents' order and the matchmaker's words. You are the daughter of the emperor, a princess of a country. Who you will marry is up to your majesty to decide."
Bo Chi thought so too.
The emperor is very troubled by Yu Zhao's existence and has not been able to make a decision until now. As long as the queen presents her plan, no matter what she and Yu Zhao think, the emperor will definitely choose to grant them marriage.
In this case, even if Yu Zhao resisted, it would be useless. He could only become her consort and let her do whatever she wanted!
Thinking of this, Bo Chi's eyes suddenly curved, and he said in a brisk tone: "You are right, it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, we just need to wait for the country to assign a partner. Eh? No, then what did you just say about my lifelong event? "
Yu Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, the court officials can see that he intends to marry you to the No. 1 Scholar. The No. 1 Scholar is handsome, but he is very romantic. A few days ago, he went to a brothel for entertainment and was dragged to the back alley by an unknown enemy and beaten. Princess, it is probably not a good idea for you to be with him."
Bo Chi did not reply, but blinked and stared at her seriously.
Yu Zhao's grip on the teacup slowly tightened, almost suspecting that the other party had noticed that it was she who hit Ke Hui.
Fortunately, Bo Chi was not that clever, and just said slyly: "Are you jealous?"
Yu Zhao: “…No.”
Bo Chi didn't believe it: "You have always ignored those insignificant people. Now that you are willing to mention Ke Hui to me, you must dislike him in every way. And he didn't offend you, so...are you really not jealous?"
Yu Zhao put down the cup and said expressionlessly, "Princess."
Bo Chi immediately backed off and sat up straight with a serious face: "What?"
Yu Zhao said calmly: "You didn't allow me to tease you just now."
Bo Chi tilted his head in confusion: "Ah, yes."
Yu Zhao took a deep breath and accused: "But now you are teasing me."
Bo Chi: “…Puff.”
Bo Chi couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
She smiled and softened her body, lying on the table with her chin in her hands, saying without hiding anything: "So what, I'm a princess now, I can bully you unscrupulously, come and hit me, lululu~"
Yu Zhao was silent for two seconds, then suddenly leaned forward, grabbed the back of Bo Chi's head with one hand, and forced her to look straight at him.
Bo Chi didn't expect that she would really attack him. Before she could even land the first blow, he quickly surrendered with tears in his eyes, "I, I, I was wrong. Don't hit someone in the face, wuwuwu."
Yu Zhao's lips curled slightly, then quickly straightened, narrowing his eyes and saying, "Does teasing me make you so happy?"
Bo Chi said weakly: "It's, it's OK... Okay, I'm very happy."
Yu Zhao was so angry that he laughed. He stared at her for a while, but in the end he didn't do anything beyond the limit. He just pinched her soft little face and said meaningfully, "I know."
Bo Chi was almost furious when she stared at him. Seeing that she sat back down, he dared not to be so naughty anymore and whispered, "Actually, you don't need to persuade me. I will definitely not marry Ke Hui. He already has a wife and children. He just hid it because he wanted wealth and connections."
Yu Zhao frowned: "How dare he be so deceitful and treacherous? Doesn't Your Majesty know about this?"
Bo Chi shook his head obediently and added: "I didn't tell him either, because there is no evidence for the time being, but Ke Hui's wife and children are already on their way to the capital. I am in the harem and it is not easy to send someone to pick them up. If you are free, you can help them."
Yu Zhao hummed, stood up and said, "It just so happens that I still have some questions for them regarding Ke Hui's imperial examination, so I will leave right away and bring them to the capital as soon as possible."
"Okay." He followed her like a little tail, and said, "Be careful along the way."
The two separated, Yu Zhao went to deal with business, while Bo Chi took Chun Yuan and the dog and sneaked back to the palace. Just as she changed back into her princess attire in the palace, the head maid from the Queen's side came running over and said that the Queen wanted to summon her.
There was no choice but to rush to the Queen's place without stopping.
As soon as she entered the palace, without waiting for her to salute, the queen dismissed the surrounding maids and eunuchs, then waved to her and said, "Come here."
Bo Chi came over, poured a cup of tea for the queen, and said with a smile: "My mother called me here, what's the important matter?"
The queen took the jade cup, sipped it slowly, and then raised her eyes: "Tell me, what did Yu Zhao say to you when he asked you out?"
Bo Chi said awkwardly: "You know everything... and didn't say anything, but Ke Hui went to a brothel a few days ago, and she found out about it. She was unhappy, so she asked me to think carefully about marriage and not to entrust my marriage to the wrong person."
The queen's expression eased a little: "He is a thoughtful person."
"Of course." Bo Chi struck while the iron was hot and lied with his eyes open: "She loves me deeply and swears never to take a concubine. I am the only one in the backyard."
The Queen was stunned: "Did he really say that?"
Bo Chi nodded affirmatively.
——How can you not be sure?
Yu Zhao is a woman herself, what's the point of her taking a concubine?
Get together a table and play Pai Gow happily?
...Oh, if you think about it carefully, it seems pretty good?
