Chu Chi saw Zhao Jie's back, full of panic, she went to find a jade plate that could enter and leave the palace, and went out of the palace to Princess Pingrou's mansion one after another.

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were just about to rest, when she heard Cuiliu coming to pass the news that Chu Chi was asking to see her, so she got up and said, "Why are you here at this time?" ”

At the beginning of November, it was very cold, and Qi Yuning had always been afraid of cold, so she wrapped a thick fur cloak before she went outside to see Chu Chi.

Qi Yuning saw Chu Chi, who was flustered, and asked, "But what happened in the palace?" ”

Chu Chi has been in the palace for so many years, and now he is in charge of various matters in the harem, if it were not a big deal, he would definitely not be so flustered.

Chu Chi whispered: "The slave maid helping Miss Qin to please Your Majesty was noticed by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is very angry now...... County Lord, I'm sorry, it's all my incompetence, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will hold a grudge against you because of this, and it will also ruin Miss Qin's future. ”

Qi Yuning frowned slightly, their relationship with Zhao Jie is really delicate, they are loyal and loyal to Zhao Jie from the bottom of their hearts, but they also have to prevent Zhao Jie from being afraid of them in his heart.

In this draft, Qi Yuning could have asked Princess Pingrou and Zhao Shu to join the royal family to directly determine the queen's candidate.

But in the final analysis, Qi Yuning was also afraid that the twisted melon was not sweet, and he was even more afraid of ruining the life of the little queen, so Zhao Jie made his own choice.

Now that she is manipulating the draft behind her back, Zhao Jie knows about it, and I don't know what Zhao Jie will think of her......

Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Why is Your Majesty so angry? ”

Speaking of which, even if she interfered in Zhao Jie's marriage, according to Zhao Jie's temperament, she should not be angry in front of her people.

Chu Chi knelt on the ground, raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "County Lord, I'm sorry, there is something I have been hiding from you, and His Majesty blessed me five months ago......"

Qi Yuning put the soup woman in his hand on the coffee table on the side, "Your Majesty, fortunately, that palace maid turned out to be you." ”

Qi Yuning didn't guess how to guess Chu Chi, Chu Chi was three years older than His Majesty...... But thinking about it, it's really possible, after all, in terms of appearance, Chu Chi's appearance can be described as good.

Chu Chi said in a low voice: "County Lord, I have betrayed your trust in me, I really can't stand you, Your Majesty likes Guqin Song Peony Immortal, I didn't know that the song was composed by Your Majesty, so I handed the song to Miss Qin to practice, I didn't expect to be recognized by Your Majesty, I ......"

Qi Yuning saw Chu Chi trembling all over, thinking that he was extremely scared, seeing that Chu Chi was wearing thin clothes, Qi Yuning took off his cloak and put it on Chu Chi and said, "It's so late, you go to your mother's room to sleep for one night, don't worry too much." ”

Chu Chi bit his lip and said, "I have never seen His Majesty so angry, I am really afraid of implicating you and Miss Qin...... I ......"

Qi Yuning listened to Chu Chi's trill, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's not a big deal, everything is up to me, go and get some sleep." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

After seeing Chu Chi leave, Qi Yuning rubbed his temples.

Back in the room, Qi Yuning told Lu Ze about Chu Chi, Lu Ze frowned slightly and said, "How could it be her?" I thought she was an honest person. ”

Qi Yuning said: "Chu Chi is honest, it's your little cousin who is not honest, I think Chu Chi is frightened." ”

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You shouldn't have let Chu Chi help Qin Feng's niece." ”

Qi Yuning was unconvinced: "If Chu Liuli is really made the queen, what will happen to the court in the future?" Why did I not be? ”

Lu Zelian said: "You are right, let's see what Zhao Jie says tomorrow." ”

……

Morning to the rear.

Zhao Jie called Lu Ze to enter the Zichen Palace alone and said, "Cousin, I don't want the draft yet. ”

Lu Ze looked at Zhao Jie and said, "Your Majesty, you are now seventeen years old, and you should reach the age of pro-government." ”

"Can't you be pro-government if you don't marry a wife?" Zhao Jie touched the mighty dragon pattern carved on the dragon chair with his hand.

Lu Ze said: "There is also the possibility of waiting until His Majesty reaches the age of twenty to be pro-government, but you also know that Lingling often complains that the minister has no time to go out with her, and has said several times that she will take her to Beicheng, but she has not been able to make the trip due to state affairs, and Your Majesty can also get married as soon as possible......"

Zhao Jie said: "I already have a candidate for the queen, so I don't have to be drafted, and now I won't keep any of the show girls in the Chuxiu Palace." ”

Lu Ze said: "Who is it?" ”

Zhao Jie looked at Lu Ze and said, "Chu Chi." ”

Lu Ze frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't mess around." ”

"I'm not messing around, I'm the Ninety-Five, if I can't marry my beloved, then how can I talk about holding power and taking charge of state affairs?"

Lu Ze was helpless: "Chu Chi is the daughter of a commoner's family, her father and mother are all slaves of the Qi family, and she was removed later, she is still a slave in the palace, Your Majesty thinks twice." ”

Zhao Jie looked at Lu Ze and said, "I have made up my mind, my cousin doesn't need to persuade me anymore." ”

Lu Ze frowned slightly, and no longer persuaded each other, nor did he say more, only chatted with Zhao Jie about court affairs.

As soon as Chu Chifang returned to the palace, he heard that the show girls of Chuxiu Palace had been sent home from the palace.

Chu Chilian asked Wu Shanggong and said, "This draft is imminent, how can Your Majesty ......?"

Wu Shanggong looked at Chu Chi and said, "Your Majesty doesn't plan to draft. ”

Chu Chi held the hem of her skirt tightly with her hand, this day Chu Chi was full of absent-mindedness, until in the evening, Chu Qinglai called her to go to the Taiji Palace, Chu Chi's pace can be described as extremely slow, and she felt that this palace was extremely small for the first time.

When Chu Chi entered the Taiji Palace, she saw Zhao Jie, who had a dark face, playing the guqin, and she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jie played the piano by herself, Chu Chi knelt on the ground for a long time and only felt that her knees hurt badly, after she entered the palace, she rarely knelt for so long, although the Empress Dowager Zhou was not clear about the political affairs of the court, but it was very good for the palace maids.

Zhao Jie had never let her kneel for so long before.

It was supposed to be burning the wooden plank of the earth dragon, but there was a biting coldness.

After a long time, Chu Chi heard Zhao Jie speak: "Do you know that it is wrong?" ”

Chu Chilian lowered his head and said: "The slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and maid should not interfere in the matter of choosing a concubine in the harem, and the slave and maid will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty in the future, but Your Majesty, the slave and the Lord of Qi did not have any bad intentions before, and they didn't want to do anything, they just ......."

When Zhao Jie heard Chu Chi's words, he frowned and said, "You still don't know what's wrong. ”

Zhao Jie looked at Chu Chi and only felt irritable in his heart, "You go." ”

When Chu Chi got up, his knees hurt so badly that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Jie lifted the hem of Chu Chi's skirt, rolled up his trousers and saw the kneeling red knees, and his brows became more and more frowned.

"I'm not angry that Lord Qi is trying to meddle in the draft."

Zhao Jie looked at Chu Chi and said: "My throne was obtained because of her, if the Qi family had rebelled, it would have been rebelled a long time ago, and my cousin has treated Lingling a lot in order to assist me over the years, and Lingling often complains that my cousin doesn't have time to go out with her, unlike Cousin Yun, who can always accompany the children."

I have never doubted the loyalty of the Lu family's Qi family, I am just annoyed that you chose her between the Qi County Lord and me, and trampled on my sincerity to you. ”

Chu Chi looked at Zhao Jie's eyes, her heart ached, she squeezed the hem of her skirt and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Jie grabbed Chu Chi's shoulders with both hands and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you like me?" ”

Chu Chi said in a low voice: "I like it." ”

"Lie, if I like you're so diligent in helping me run the draft?"

"That's what slaves and maids should do, and they can't be paid and not worked."

"Chu Chi, I have decided to make you the queen."
