Hearing Hu Tianhao say this, he raised his brows slightly, as if he thought the suggestion was good. He stood up directly, a step faster than Hu Tianhao.
He walked straight out of the pavilion, saying, "Come on, I'll go with you."
Hu Tianhao paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Qi's expressionless, delicate face, unsure of what he was thinking.
After all, this guy didn't even pay attention to Chu Mu, so why did he change his personality today?
Jing Mu, who was hesitant on the side, saw that both of them stood up. He thought it would be bad if he just stayed here and waited, so he gritted his teeth, stood up and followed.
Chu Ci finished a piece of dessert, with some crumbs on the corners of her lips.
Someone handed her a handkerchief. Chu Ci gently rubbed her lips with it and watched the three people walk out of the pavilion over there and walk towards her.
Feng You also saw it, took back the dirty handkerchief used by Chu Ci, and signaled the female official behind him to hand the new handkerchief back to Chu Ci. Then he took a step back and spoke to Chu Ci in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Jing family supports the faction of the Third Princess. I heard that Jing Mu will marry into the Third Princess's mansion after the New Year. Your Highness should be careful."
Chu Ci nodded slightly, took the handkerchief handed to her in her hand, and picked up the teacup with her other hand and took a sip of hot tea.
Those people have already arrived at the pavilion.
Hu Tianhao saluted first and said, "Your Highness."
Chu Ci curled the corners of her lips and nodded, "I'm not in the court now, so there's no need to be so polite."
"Mother said that etiquette cannot be abolished. This is Xiao Qi, the only son of Prime Minister Xiao, and this is Jing Mu, the third son of the Jing family. We agreed to come here to play chess, and unexpectedly ran into His Highness. I heard that His Highness was ill a few days ago. I wonder how His Highness is feeling today?"
Chu Ci and Hu Tianhao chatted casually for a few words, motioned them to sit down, and looked at Xiao Qi, who had been silent since a while, looking at the three remaining snacks on his small plate.
Chu Ci blinked her eyes, and pushed the pastry forward with her white fingertips. A soft and sweet voice sounded, "The teahouse has new pastries, and they taste pretty good. Would you like to try some?"
Although these words were spoken softly, it was obvious that they were directed at Xiaoqi.
Hu Tianhao frowned slightly and turned his head to look in the direction of Xiaoqi.
Is this flattery? But isn't this kind of flattery too clumsy? And it's just with a few leftover snacks?
Although I've heard from my mother that Chu Ci is quite naive, I don't think she can win over the Xiao family with just a plate of pastries, right?
Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't say anything, Jing Mu and Hu Tianhao both had a look of "it's natural" in their eyes, and then they became a little nervous. Although this princess was famous for her good temper, she was the crown princess after all, and such an attitude was too disrespectful.
Even Prime Minister Xiao had to bow to Chu Ci, but Xiao Qi was indifferent. Even if he said he was not angry, he would still remember it in his heart, right?
Seeing that he didn't reply, Chu Ci didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. She picked up another piece of dessert, put it to her lips and took a bite.
This is not at all the kind of currying favor that some people had imagined before.
Generally speaking, after knowing Xiaoqi's identity, no matter whether it is a princess or an official, even if they don't like Xiaoqi's temper, they will still come up to him eagerly to curry favor with him. Unlike Chu Ci, who asked a question and then nothing happened.
I don’t know what to say.
They were silent for about tens of seconds.
