With the alternation of cold and heat, Su Yu's originally pale face finally showed a slight blush.
Then he looked at Chu Ci with some vigilance as he sat down and took a sip of teacup.
Chu Ci's pink lips were stained with the sheen of tea. After taking two sips, she looked up at him, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her head tilted, "What's wrong?"
"Why are you here?"
After a long pause, Su Yu spoke in a hoarse voice, with some doubts and puzzled questions.
This kind of emotion is really strange.
Chu Ci was naturally sensitive enough to notice it, but she didn't know what was strange. She put down the teacup in her hand and tapped the mahogany table lightly with her fingertips a few times.
The room was lit with extremely elegant incense, filled with the refreshing aroma of tea, mixed with a little bit of sweet pastry flavor.
The atmosphere was so comfortable that Su Yu felt a little uneasy.
"Why can't I be here?" Chu Ci raised an eyebrow, stood up, and spoke softly, as if with a hint of confusion, "This is the teahouse owned by Aunt Lan. I often come here to drink tea and eat cakes."
The Aunt Lan that Chu Ci mentioned is the current Concubine Lan.
It's strange to say, but since Chu Ci went in and out of the palace several times, the atmosphere of fighting for the emperor in the harem has changed a lot. Several powerful and childless concubines are vying to please this little girl.
It seems that whoever pleases the best will win.
Chu Ci blinked her eyes, moved closer to him, and looked him over carefully. "What are you thinking about?"
A hand was raised and pressed between his eyebrows.
The age difference between the two is only about two or three years. Chu Ci is older, but her life in Prince Xiao's Mansion is not easy. All the original servants have run away. Su Yu is very thin and not tall, half a head shorter than Chu Ci.
Chu Ci did this action very easily.
Su Yu was slightly startled by the soft touch between her eyebrows. Looking at the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of her, she seemed to be quite satisfied with the result.
The corners of his lips, which had been expressionless, suddenly curved slightly.
The smile suddenly caught Su Yu's eye, making him stunned for a moment.
'Su Yu's love value +2, currently 3.'
The sound came again...
Chu Ci tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her with a little confusion.
This look made Su Yu, who was already quite vigilant, feel nervous. Then he heard her say, "I want to ask you something. Don't tell Sheng He."
Don't tell Sheng He? A thought flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
"Did you hear any sound just now?" Chu Ci asked immediately, looking at him straight with a pair of dark eyes with confusion.
Su Yu paused, then shook his head, also hesitantly, "...I didn't hear it."
Then the door behind Su Yu was knocked twice and then pushed open.
Sheng He came in with a few waiters carrying snacks, hot tea, copper basins and towels. After hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked at Chu Ci, "What did you hear?"
Thinking about the bitter medicine I was forced to drink before.
Chu Ci's chubby face twisted into a look of disgust. She tucked her chin in slightly and put on a serious expression, "I didn't hear anything."
