Compared with those self-proclaimed sons, Zhao Ziyi is more willing to stay here quietly.

So he simply stayed with Chu Yanran every day, and as the years went by, it slowly became a habit.

Staying in the Red Pavilion for a long time and temporarily escaping from that cage not only relieved Zhao Ziyi's depressed mood, but also gave him an unexpected gain, that is, the emperor removed those eyes that followed him at any time.

Although there are still eyes and ears of the emperor in the palace, as long as no one follows him at any time, it is already considered freedom for him to come.

And all this is due to his long-term disguise of cowardice and "romance".

At the beginning, Zhao Ziyi bought Chu Yanran, but it was out of sympathy, and later he would take care of her, not because he had affection for her, but because she was clean.

If he really had to sleep in those unclean women's rooms every day, he would probably have died of nausea!

Outsiders all know that Chu Yanran is his confidante, and he does not deny it, because this can be regarded as he used Chu Yanran to wear a romantic cloak for himself.

As for Chu Yanran, she is not a beneficiary, not only did she save her perfect body, but also got rid of the fate of being played by those men, she should also be very happy.

Zhao Ziyi once thought that since he used Chu Yanran, he would never treat her badly, and in a few years he would "like the new and hate the old", and then redeem her out of love and let her find a good family to marry.

But as the time spent together became longer, Zhao Ziyi felt Chu Yanran's unusual affection for him, but he knew very well in his heart that he and Chu Yanran were just using each other, and at most they only regarded her as a sister.

Chu Yanran is a woman who knows how to be proportionate, as long as she can stay so peaceful, they can continue to maintain this relationship until he redeems her.

Now that he is married to Xiang Jin, Zhao Ziyi knows clearly that he can only fit that girl in his heart.

But what made him feel painful was that he loved Xiang Jin and wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand, but the special situation did not allow him to show it so obviously.

Zhao Ziyi was actually very embarrassed, he knew very well why the emperor would point Xiang Jin to him.

The emperor is a very suspicious person, Xiang Jin's father has a heavy army in his hands, if he is too good to Xiang Jin, the emperor will suspect him of evil intentions, afraid that he will do something rebellious.

At the same time, he can't treat Xiang Jin badly, otherwise the emperor will think that he is dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement, and he is afraid of General Xiang for flaws.

Finding a balance between this is not an easy task.

Zhao Ziyi cares about that girl very much, he knows that he can't treat her badly, so he wants to convince the emperor that he doesn't care about Xiang Jin so much, and the only way is to use Chu Yanran.

In the eyes of everyone, Chu Yanran has always been his confidant, and now that he has the princess, he still can't let go of Chu Yanran, and Xiang Jin's status in his heart is self-evident.

So Zhao Ziyi still insists on coming to Yihong Pavilion every day, but unlike in the past, since he married Xiang Jincheng, he has never spent the night here.

In the past, in Chu Yanran's place, listening to her holding the piano and drinking wine, Zhao Ziyi felt that it was a pleasant thing.

But since he fell in love with Xiang Jin, he felt that every day here was like sitting on pins and needles, all he thought about was that girl, and staying here naturally became a torment.

Zhao Ziyi is in the Yihong Pavilion, but his heart is inseparable from the Yongan Palace, even if he knows that the palace is a cage, as long as there is her, he is willing to fall into it for her
