Seeing Chu Wanwan coming to him at this moment, Chu Ci really felt for the first time that the rumors circulating in the court were not completely useless.
"Princess, there is a pavilion nearby. Why don't you follow me there and continue our conversation?"
The palace lady turned her head and looked at Chu Ci with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
But after all, these people knew what kind of status Chu Ci held in Xiao Mokuang's heart, so naturally they would not think like people like Princess Chu Wanwan in the court that the little emperor was under the control of the Grand Tutor.
"As ordered, Your Majesty."
Chu Ci's clear and noble voice came over, light and without much emotion, but it sounded unusually pleasant. Coupled with the way she addressed herself and how she called herself, Chu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed it in an instant, lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
The palace ladies couldn't stop Chu Ci, so they obeyed the order and followed Chu Ci closely, not leaving her side for a moment.
After sitting down in the pavilion, Chu Wanwan glanced at the ministers who were staring at her, then looked at Chu Ci with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. "Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I have a lot to say to you alone. This..."
Feicui, who was standing next to her, had already brought over a cup of hot tea, and Binghan also brought a few palace maids to prepare exquisite pastries.
Chu Ci had been gone for some time, and coupled with the fact that he had eaten little in the morning, and had been forced by Xiao Mo to read memorials for a long time, he was naturally hungry at this moment.
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite, then raised her hand to take a sip of hot tea. Only after hearing the words did she look up from the white mist of the tea.
After swallowing the sweet but not greasy osmanthus cake in his mouth, his cheeks bulged slightly.
The girl's every move was dignified and elegant. Even her small expressions and movements with doubts were indescribably noble. She was completely reborn and was completely different from before.
Only those who served Chu Ci knew that His Majesty was dissatisfied again.
After all, a few months passed, and the cold winter passed early. Now it was late spring and early summer, and the weather was already getting hot. The Grand Tutor had already prepared the mung bean soup and sour plum soup that could quench his thirst and reduce internal heat, and some were even iced.
It's just that His Majesty is weak, and even on a hot day like the summer heat, the Grand Tutor has never allowed her to be greedy and drink more than a few sips. Now that the heat has just begun, she is even more forbidden to touch it.
So I always drank hot tea. I guess he just remembered it.
So I'm depressed.
Several palace maids who served her personally couldn't help but smile.
Chu Ci then lazily raised her hand, pinching the piece of osmanthus cake with her slender fingers and placing it aside. She put the white jade cup lid next to it on the exquisite bottle, raised her eyes and glanced at the palace servants beside her, and said, "You guys go over there and wait for me first."
"His Majesty……"
"It's alright, my lady-in-waiting. The palace is heavily guarded, nothing will happen."
Looking at Chu Ci's obedient face and saying this, the palace lady pursed her lips slightly.
I'm not really afraid that the eldest princess will try to assassinate you, but I'm afraid that she will say nonsense in your Majesty's ear. That would be fatal. Who knows what she said might make your Majesty have some idea, and what if this idea happens to be something that the Grand Tutor doesn't like.
When they are questioned later, they will be blamed again.
