111 Is it a punishment or a reward?

Inside the Flying Immortal Palace.

Ji Qili came to the eighth princess with great expectations, wanting to remind her to fulfill the agreement, and be sure to propose to the empress about rewarding Chu Qingluo at the Qingming Palace tomorrow.

It's just that he didn't expect that the eighth princess would change his mind this time.

"Eighth sister, we obviously talked about it before, why did we suddenly regret it again?" Seeing that the eighth princess didn't answer, Ji Qili said again: "Is it because Chu Yilin was snatched away by the sixth sister?" ”

"Don't mention that name to me!" So far, the eighth princess is still very indignant when she hears Chu Yilin's three words.

"Okay, I won't mention his name." Ji Qili tried to appease the eighth princess and said, "Even if this person doesn't enter your door, it won't affect you and Chu Qingluo joining forces." There are many affairs involved in this inner palace, and it is always a lot more convenient to have one more person of your own. ”

"......" The eighth princess still kept her face stiff and remained silent.

"Eighth sister, I believe in Fifth Brother, as long as you can help me enter Qingluo's door, I guarantee that she will be able to use it for you."

Seeing Ji Qili's sworn look, the eighth princess was a little unconvinced: "Can you guarantee it?" In my opinion, Chu Qingluo is not such an easy person to be manipulated. After several contacts, it didn't catch any good results from her. And this time she was elected, she was also partial to the sixth sister. ”

Ji Qiran nodded very surely: "Trust me." She is not biased towards the sixth princess, she is biased towards her brother. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing that the eighth princess seemed to be shaken, Ji Qili hit the railway while it was hot: "Eighth sister might as well give it a try, and she won't suffer anyway." If it happens, it's still a good thing. ”

The eighth princess hesitated and said, "...... All right. Tomorrow morning, I will mention this matter to the Holy Lord, if the Holy Lord agrees, the rest is up to you, be sure to pull Chu Qingluo over. ”

Ji Qili hooked his mouth and smiled, full of confidence: "This is certain, thank you Eighth Sister." ”

He had waited so long for the day to finally arrive.

……

The sky had just turned white, and Chu Qingluo was already standing on the platform of the Qingming Palace, waiting for the court. Seeing that Nightshade was going up the stairs, he hurriedly wanted her to salute and greet her: "Lord Nightshade." ”

As usual, Long Kui nodded slightly: "Lord Chu." He didn't say anything more, but stood aside and waited quietly.

Seeing that the nightshade did not have any trace of displeasure or unnaturalness, Chu Qingluo secretly guessed in her heart, I'm afraid that Miss Long didn't know who the person who threatened her yesterday was...... Or luckily, Miss Long will never know who she is.

But...... Is this possible? With this lucky luck......

Tut. Chu Qingluo shook his head, no matter, anyway, today is safe.

"Xuan Zhongchen enters the templeβ€”"

A high-pitched summons sounded, and everyone walked into the temple to pay respects.

The empress seemed to be in a good mood today, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked: "Yun Shi's selection has ended, and the princesses are quite satisfied with their selection?" ”

"Thank you for the divine gift." The three princesses stepped forward to salute. After picking so many of them, there will always be something satisfying.

The eighth princess took the lead in speaking: "Holy Lord, the fact that this election can go so smoothly and in an orderly manner is all due to the merits of Lord Chu. ”

When the sixth princess heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and the eighth princess's abnormal behavior made it impossible for her to guess what the hell she had again.

When Chu Qingluo heard the eighth princess praise like this, she shivered immediately, and always felt that something unlucky was coming.

"Well, it's really done well, and there has never been a bit of panic in the palace." The empress agreed with the eighth princess's statement.

The eighth princess waited for an opportunity and said: "Joy thinks that Lord Chu is a rare talent and deserves to be rewarded. ”

The empress smiled in her eyes and replied, "Even if I don't mention joy, that's what I mean." ”

"I don't know what the Holy Lord is going to reward Lord Chu? Is it a bounty or a jewel? ”

Listening to the tone of the eighth princess, the empress asked, "It seems that joy is another high-mindedness?" ”

The more Chu Qingluo listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he felt like he was watching others digging holes for himself.

The corners of the eighth princess's mouth hooked slightly, and she said, "Joy and courage, propose to the Holy Lord...... Bestow on the Prince. When the discussion in the hall began, she continued: "I heard that there are only two male attendants under Lord Chu, and Lord Chu has just selected such male attendants for the three of us...... It's inevitable that your eyes will be itchy. Therefore, Xile thinks that it is most appropriate to give the prince to Lord Chu at this time. ”

The empress first smiled slightly, and then glanced at Chu Qingluo thoughtfully, as if she was thinking about which prince to bestow.

At this time, Chu Qingluo's heart had already jumped to his throat! Silently cursed in his heart: "You are just hungry and itchy!" Your whole family is itching! ”

The prince that the eighth princess wants to mention will never be Ji Qiran, she seems to feel that the end of the world is coming.

"Saint, Lord Yao also said last time that among the princes who have not yet started, the fifth brother is the eldest......"

After the eighth princess mentioned this, the empress nodded and said, "Then give ......"

"Thank you for the grace of the saint-" Chu Qingluo was anxious, and jumped out directly: "The lower official is bold, please forgive the saint." ”

The empress's red lips hooked: "Lord Chu, I haven't said what I want to reward, why am I so excited to thank you first?" ”

"Holy Lord, the grace of the cloud servant is the duty of the lower officials, and they will never dare to accept the grace of the saint!"

"Lord Chu, do you dare to refuse the prince's entry?" The eighth princess looked at Chu Qingluo in disbelief.

Chu Qingluo ignored the eighth princess's questioning, and instead saluted the empress: "Dare to ask the saint, let the prince enter the door of the female official, is it a punishment or a reward?" ”

The empress frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but was grabbed by the eighth princess again: "Presumptuous!" That's a great reward, of course! Do you need to ask?! ”

Chu Qingluo looked at the eyes of the eighth princess and bowed his head slightly: "Since the eighth princess said that it was a reward, then it is not impossible to be polite." ”

"You...... I don't know how to lift! The eighth princess found that she really couldn't talk to the person surnamed Chu well.

I heard that the empress laughed twice more and said, "You are the first one who refuses my favor like this, Lord Chu." ”

Chu Qingluo hurriedly saluted again: "The Holy One is magnanimous, ask the Holy One for forgiveness." ”

The Empress waved her hand and motioned for her to stand down. "That's it, since Lord Chu doesn't want a reward, let's continue to discuss other things."

"Yes......" The eighth princess could only retreat unwillingly. She really couldn't understand the thoughts of the Chu family's brothers and sisters, not at all.

……

Chu Qingluo waited outside the door of the study of Fengluan Hall with a pot of tea. A gust of wind blew, and the dark lines of peony flowers on the skirt danced in the wind. It wasn't until Chonghuan came out to summon her that she walked in with tea.

The empress was sitting at her desk at the moment, reviewing the folds.

"Holy Peace."

The empress put down the pen in her hand and raised her eyes to look at her: "Lord Chu is exempt." What kind of tea do you have on your hand? So fragrant. (To be continued.) )
