But it’s also because we came outside.
Feng You became more alert. After all, this was not his mansion and there were strangers all around. Anyone could do it if they had this intention.
Chu Ci was sitting in the house, with servants around her packing luggage. The staff who came with Chu Ci also packed their luggage one after another and came to pay their respects to Chu Ci.
Not long after, Hu Xun came to visit with Hu Tianhao.
After saying a few simple words, she didn't leave. Chu Ci held the snack in her hand and looked up at Hu Xun.
There seemed to be some embarrassment in Hu Xun's eyes.
At this moment, Hu Xun was sitting opposite Chu Ci, and Hu Tianhao was sitting next to Hu Xun.
Feng You served tea, and Chu Ci took a sip slowly. "The temperature in the mountains is just right, and the flowers haven't even bloomed yet. They're a hundred times more beautiful than the imperial capital. We only have three days, so why don't we go around and take a look? What else does Minister Hu have to do here?"
"Your Highness has been in close contact with Prime Minister Xiao recently. I wonder if this is true?"
Hu Xun hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
Chu Ci nodded. "Prime Minister Xiao is a man of outstanding ability, dedicated to the people and the country. He is a virtuous man. He has not expressed his views yet. Does Minister Hu think he should not make friends with him?"
"I am afraid that Your Highness is still young and might be deceived by the Prime Minister's few words."
Hu Xun was well aware of how difficult it was to deal with this old fox in the court.
"You're too kind, Minister." Chu Ci shook her head and changed the subject. "When we're out and about, we don't talk about government affairs. Does Minister have anything else to do?"
"Indeed, there is one more thing."
Hu Xun spoke hesitantly, glancing at his son who was sitting behind him.
Thinking about what Hu Tianhao had said to her before, she frowned, "I heard that His Highness has been very close to the young master of the Xiao family recently?"
Chu Ci glanced at Hu Tianhao behind Hu Xun and then looked at Hu Xun again. "He is quite interesting. This prince is also very bored in the mansion."
There was no denial, and Chu Ci and Prime Minister Xiao had been talking about things more and more recently.
It was indeed as his son said, Chu Ci seemed to be gradually leaning towards the Xiao family.
If the Xiao family were to marry Xiao Qi to Chu Ci, the Hu family would probably fall from the position of the Crown Princess's most trusted family.
Although Hu Xun is an upright person, she had been feeling aggrieved for too long following Chu Ci. Now that Chu Ci was about to rise, it seemed that there was no chance for them, the old people who had followed her and endured humiliation for so many years. Anyone would feel aggrieved if they were in her place.
She's just going to eat the ready-made food as soon as the Prime Minister arrives?
But thinking of the agreement he had made with Chu Ci before, Hu Xun felt that it was even more difficult to deal with.
Even if his son changed his mind after returning, this agreement written in black and white could not be easily changed.
Besides, Chu Ci has no intention of doing so now. When they made that agreement, it was as if they were saying that you should not marry my son and leave him a chance to survive. Now she wants to change it?
She didn't know how to speak.
Hu Tianhao, who was sitting next to Hu Xun, finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.
"Your Highness..."
But halfway through his words, the curtain outside the door was suddenly lifted.
The visitor interrupted Hu Tianhao directly.
Xiao Qi was still wearing red clothes. In order to facilitate movement, he tied black straps around his wrists, which looked neat and clean.
There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He glanced around and paused on Hu Tianhao. His eyebrows raised slightly and a cold sneer came out of his lips.
Then he turned his head and looked at Chu Ci.
