Chu Zhiyuan relaxed a little and said, "Drunk, I know you've been in a bad mood lately, but ...... There's something I have to beg you!"

"What's the matter?" Chu drunkenly said.

"Recently, Your Majesty has been unwell, and said that Li'er should enter the palace for treatment, and the palace is full of dangers, I am really a little worried, I don't know ......"

"I'll go and ask Your Majesty for advice, and I'll go with her. ”

"Thank you so much, drunk. Chu Zhiyuan didn't know what Chu experienced after she got drunk, but it was obvious that she was not in a good mental state, and besides, she was not his own daughter in the first place.

"It's okay, I'm my father's daughter, and I'll enter the palace with my sister tomorrow. ”

On the second day, Chu Zui entered the palace with Chu Li, and the emperor originally said that he wanted to give her a reward, but she didn't take it herself, at first because she was afraid that she would not be able to control and kill the emperor, but now that Chu Zhiyuan has a request, he will finish this last thing for him, and then go to Shanglin City to find Bai Ling.

She told Yan Tingcheng to take good care of Qingyu, and she must wait for her to come back, if it was in the past, Yan Tingcheng would definitely be disobedient, this time, it was unprecedentedly obedient.

The emperor has been suffering from frequent headaches and malaise recently, and he is weak day by day.

Chu Li couldn't detect any superfluous illnesses at once, so he was left by the emperor to live with Chu Zui in the former side hall.

It's night again, and Chu Zui is still lying on the same couch with Chu Li, talking about family life.

"Sister, it will be Your Majesty's birthday in a few days, and Your Majesty said that you will reward your sister on your birthday, don't be unhappy. ”

"I'm not unhappy, so why don't you tell me about the recent romance in Jinsheng City? ”

"I haven't heard much about it, by the way—" Chu Li suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince Regent at his birthday banquet!"

I thought I wouldn't care, but when I heard the news, Chu Zui was still slightly shocked.

It was easy to calm down the pounding heart, and Chu drunk said: "Isn't she a god?

"That's different, he is a god and a prince, the prince is going to be a concubine when he is twenty-five years old, and in the spring of this year, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is just twenty-five!"

"Really?"

Is he going to get married?

Chu Zui didn't remember if she fell asleep that night, but when she woke up, she leaned on a person's arms, and that person was not Chu Yun, but-

Whatever you want!

She was slightly startled, looking at the man's sleeping appearance, her quiet breathing suddenly felt a little more relieved, this man had also spent a short time with her, and had protected her several times.

It's rare to see his sleeping face.

This sudden tranquility actually made her heart slightly quiet, and the haze accumulated in her heart suddenly dissipated at this moment, as if as long as he was by her side, she could always do anything without fear.

When, I got used to his presence.

She lay peacefully, unable to bear to break the tranquility of this moment, and was suddenly hugged tightly by him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

She didn't move, let him hold her, and suddenly a low and nice voice sounded in her ears: "You will go...... Do you want to participate in the selection of concubines?"

She was stunned, and a trace of waves suddenly stirred up in the bottom of her quiet heart, and her eternal gentle smile changed, and she was slightly condensed into a little sadness between her eyebrows.

Open your mouth, silent......

She didn't remember how she spent the next few days in a daze, only that the fast and slow days finally passed, ushering in the emperor's sixtieth birthday.

The drugs that Chu Li prescribed to help sleep and wake up the brain were quite effective, so on this day, the emperor looked very good, put on a bright yellow dragon robe, and held a huge birthday banquet in the harem.

At that time, in the name of choosing a concubine for the regent, all the women of moderate age were recruited into the Zhaoyang Palace, and more than a dozen tables of banquets were set up, which was several times greater than when the prince married.

Chu Li wore her usual pale yellow dress, but Chu Zui changed her flamboyant red, but instead wore a quiet white, and went to hell, which made her completely restrain her edge, just to take revenge for peace of mind.

When twilight fell, the ladies of the official family were all dressed up gorgeously, and each boasted about the other's decorations and dresses.

"Ah, the princess is also here, hurry up, sit down with me!"

Chu Zui heard the sound and saw that the woman who greeted Chu Yun warmly in the past was the only daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, Wen Jinghong.

It is said that this is the rookie from Jin Shengcheng in the half year that Chu Zui has been on a mission, and he is the most likely person to become the regent princess this year.

Chu Yun sat beside her and glanced at Chu Zui, who was dressed in white opposite, with disgust, and said, "Today is Your Majesty's birthday, a day of great joy, and some people have to wear white to provoke bad luck." ”

Chu Zui looked at his white clothes, noncommittal, and said slightly:

"White clothes are a symbol of a gentleman, and today I don't know that the minister is wearing white, does the princess think that the eldest prince is also here to find bad luck?"

The eldest prince happened to pass by with Qingqing, and he didn't want to be pulled into this battle by Chu Zui, a guy who hid a knife in his smile, so he found his place and sat down and drank tea silently.

Immediately afterwards, another voice sounded, pulling up Chu Li beside Chu Zui, and said with a smile: "Sister Chu Li, it's better to stay away from her this kind of person, be careful to learn from her." ”

Chu Zui looked at the group of well-dressed women, and he really didn't know where he had offended them.

Chu Li was dragged away for some reason, and asked, "What's wrong with my eldest sister?"

"What's wrong?" a woman sneered, "Miss Chu Li is so kind? ”

"Yes, before Lord Chu went to Moling, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent went to ask for a kiss, but as a result, what's the matter? Lord Chu came back and got a son who was nearly ten years old, hahahaha......"

Laughter rang out in the enlarged chambers, and the sarcasm continued.

"That's right, how can His Royal Highness the Regent, such an unchaste and unclean woman, like it?"

"That's right, how about following Miss Chu Li into the palace shamelessly?

"It's said that it's a lifetime envoy who dies for nine days, and it's still an elementary school student for half a day, hahaha......"

Chu Zui thought, she just picked up the light feather and went home, and the emperor just delayed the reward for her, could it be that it was rumored to be like this outside?

It's terrifying.

"Shut up if you can't speak, be careful with your mouths!"

Everyone was discussing fiercely, and naturally did not allow the voice of opposition to rise, and a woman first replied: "You only let me clean up when you speak, there is really a mother, and there is no mother!"

"Who do you say doesn't have a mother?" the voice confronted her fiercely.

Huo Ran, the most fierce woman who had just been sarcastic, looked back, and the sentence she was about to scold back was stuck in her throat.

Chu Zui finally laughed at this time, drank the tea in front of the table gently, and gloated: "Oh, it's really bold, just humiliate me, it's too much to scold Princess Suizhi for 'having a mother and not having a mother', the queen will be unhappy." ”
