What's so provocative about this?
It’s just a piece of cake, how come he can’t afford it?
Xiao Qi let out a light click of his tongue and applied a little force with his fingertips. A small crack appeared in the middle of the jade chess piece, and fine powder fell out.
Xiao Qi raised his hand in dissatisfaction and threw the chess piece away.
The chess piece fell to the ground with a slight clang.
It instantly attracted the attention of the two people next to him.
Perhaps because of the topic just now, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed a little subtle and they were both silent.
Hu Tianhao looked at the chess piece that Xiao Qi had casually thrown aside, frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked in the direction Xiao Qi was looking.
Seeing the figure sitting in the pavilion over there drinking tea and eating snacks, he froze for a moment and his face darkened.
As his mother was Chu Ci's aide, he was naturally quite familiar with Chu Ci's face.
Although they didn't talk much, at the end of each year, the princes would arrange a small gathering in their own mansions.
So he often saw Chu Ci.
But this is the first time I have seen him outside the mansion.
Chu Ci also noticed the young man in white sitting next to Xiao Qi.
The original owner had some impression of this man's face in his memory. Roughly remembering the identity of this young man, Chu Ci nodded slightly at him.
Hu Xun's son is also quite famous in Beijing. It is said that a long time ago, the original owner's father had the idea of marrying into the Hu family.
However, Hu Tianhao seemed to dislike women like the original owner. I don’t know what he said to Hu Xun. In the end, when the original owner’s father talked to the original owner, the general meaning became that the Hu family would stand on your side, but you must not think of marrying into the Hu family to stabilize their power.
The original owner was just a little naive, not completely stupid, so she could still hear the implied meaning of Hu Tianhao's words. The fact that the original owner didn't even have a concubine to serve him in his house was partly due to this incident.
However, this kind of thing made Chu Ci feel relieved.
So Chu Ci naturally wouldn't have any big prejudice against Hu Tianhao.
The girl, who had just turned eighteen, was thin and pale, and every part of her body was delicate. No matter where you looked, you could tell that she lived a life of luxury and had a noble and elegant appearance.
She was not sitting very straight, with a lazy and sickly look, twisting a half-eaten cake in her hand, and her aura was impressive.
It is gentle and not very aggressive, yet makes people reluctant to look away.
Especially those beautiful eyes, clear and bright, as if to suck people in.
It looks the same as before, but it feels very different.
But it is hard to tell what the specific difference is.
But after all, they met, and my mother was his aide. Now I pretend not to see it, which is a bit hard to accept.
Hu Tianhao pursed his lips, stood up, and glanced at Jing Mu, who was sitting beside him, and Xiao Qi, who was lazily leaning against the pavilion railing. He whispered, "Her Highness the Princess is over there. I have to go say hello."
Upon hearing this, Jing Mu looked in the direction of Chu Ci in surprise, raised his body slightly, and sat down again, appearing a little hesitant.
Although they are children of ministers, they are still commoners after all. No matter which princess they meet, they need to greet her. But in this period, it is a bit embarrassing to meet a princess who is not supported by their own family.
Compared to Jingmu, Xiaoqi is much more agile.
