He had this sense of propriety from the very beginning.
But Su Yu didn't know what he remembered, and he looked at the place where Chu Ci had just put down the flowery note.
"So... when Concubine Lan asked you to enter the palace, she thought I was going to fall and wouldn't be able to protect you?"
Su Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking about what Chu Ci had just said, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"Auntie Lan thinks you will implicate me." The little girl said this very smoothly, without even thinking about it, she blurted it out.
Su Yu: ...
Although it was an expected conclusion, it still made me feel a little uncomfortable when it was said by the little girl in front of me.
Then Chu Ci added, "So I think the child husband I mentioned before is unreliable. I still have to change to another one."
"Do you want to change to another one?"
Su Yu's originally clear voice suddenly became subdued, sounding somewhat sinister.
Then Chu Ci raised her hand and grabbed his hair, "Didn't I just say that..."
The little girl's eyes were bright, and she squinted slightly with a smile, "I won't change families. If anything happens, I can protect you."
Su Yu trembled and responded.
Lower your eyes.
Although I always feel that the roles of the two people are somewhat reversed, I still can't suppress the feeling in my heart.
Su Yu lowered his head, but the corners of his lips curled up little by little.
And then, just as Chu Ci and Concubine Lan had expected, things did gradually become chaotic.
The emperor's health was getting worse day by day. He had tried his best to keep it a secret before, but as his condition gradually worsened, he could no longer hide it.
With the succession of emperors, the bloody storm in the court will eventually arise.
The time for the imperial examination also arrived at this time. Originally, due to the emperor's health, he wanted to give up this imperial examination, but in the end he thought that it was only held once every four years. If he missed this time, he didn't know how many useful talents he would miss.
And they also wanted to use this event to bring some joy to the emperor, so the imperial examination was finally carried out as usual.
A large number of candidates entered the imperial city to take the exam.
This naturally includes the young man of marriageable age who seems to be a good match for Chu Ci's family and whom Concubine Lan has been thinking about.
Because the Emperor of Beiji was of low birth from the beginning, the rules were not as strict as those of the royal families of previous dynasties. Therefore, when there were many people present, the concubines could see their relatives.
So Chu Ci also met this young man at Concubine Lan's place, who had praised him to the sky.
His name was Chen Ting, and he was about twenty years old. He came to the imperial city from Concubine Lan's hometown to take the imperial examination. Looking at the breeze and bright moon, he was as gentle as jade, and he was indeed the type that the young ladies of the Beiji Dynasty liked.
When he saw Chu Ci, he was neither too close nor too distant, and he struck a perfect balance. It was because of this balance that Chu Ci couldn't find a way to reject this man.
However, the other party didn't mention what the matter was, so Chu Ci didn't say anything more. When the time came, she just left the palace.
Su Yu has been getting busier recently, and it's rare to see him anywhere.
It was the same today. The person disappeared early in the morning and was not seen until Chu Ci came back.
And recently there seems to be some restlessness within the royal family.
