Chapter 613 - Tsukimura-sama Chitose 38
After the meal, the three got into the carriage and drove to the palace.
Because I was temporarily told to enter the palace, I did not change into more formal clothes in advance.
However, most of Luo Ci’s clothes in the palace are more formal, so they are not ready to change.
As for Chu Zhi, he didn’t care about the issue of clothing. After all, the simpler and more ordinary he is, the easier it is to reassure the emperor, why should he dress so grandly.
It is now an hour after the next morning, and the emperor usually handles the memorial in the imperial study.
When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, they happened to hear the sound of coughing in the room. The little **** at the door came in to report and invited them into the imperial study in a short while.
Ambergris was lit in the imperial study, and the emperor sat high on the head, his eyes showing majesty. He was also in his early thirties, but the emperor was a little more sullen than King Huai’an.
The emperor coughed a few more times. He looked at Chu Zhi and said to King Huai’an, “Is this your preferred candidate for the county horse?”
King Huai’an was a little worried. Although the relationship between them was not as good as before, it was impossible to just cut it off. He replied slowly, “Your Majesty, Chu Zhi is the son of a senior minister, and he knows the bottom line. Wei Chen wants to ask your majesty to help The marriage of the two of them is so good that the thoughts of those noble ladies in the capital are gone.”
The emperor stared at Chu Zhi for a while, then nodded slightly, “I agree.”
He also knew a thing or two about the matter of Lingwu Mountain Villa. King Huai’an could not easily choose a marriage for Luo Ci, nor would he deliberately choose a powerless person to avoid trouble, unless it was to satisfy the other party. .
Although he didn’t want the Huai’an Prince’s Mansion to be mixed with these forces in the court, he also didn’t want to wrong Mingtang County Master.
Once… when this child was born, his relationship with King Huai’an had not changed, and he really wanted to be nice to her, otherwise he wouldn’t have promised her the title and inherited the power of the palace from the very beginning.
After that, he began to write the imperial decree, and said as he wrote, “In the afternoon, someone will go to the palace to convey the decree in person.”
In the end, he asked King Huai’an to stay, while Chu Zhi and Luo Ci left the imperial study and walked slowly in the palace.
This line was even smoother than Chu Zhi had imagined.
The emperor agreed without even asking too much.
Although it is only the power of the rivers and lakes, the power of the rivers and lakes cannot be underestimated now, not to mention the Lingwu Villa that has been very loud in recent years.
They arrived at the imperial garden and sat in the pavilion to enjoy the shade. Chu Zhi suddenly said, “At that time, you should rest here.”
Luo Ci was slightly startled, “I occasionally accompany my father to the palace. When my father and His Majesty discuss important matters, I prefer to come here.”
Usually there are no people here and it is relatively quiet.
Chu Zhi looked in one direction, as if looking at the past through time and space, “There was only the voice of the sixth princess that day, why did you come out to save me?”
In fact, he wanted to ask this question for a long time.
He knew that she was not someone who was overflowing with sympathy, but he came out when he heard the voice of the sixth princess embarrassing the people in the palace.
It would make him feel self-righteous that it was for himself, because he was special to her.
But not.
If it is an exception, how could it be like that in the previous life.
Luo Ci’s eyes were a little confused, she shook her head, “I don’t know, but that day I suddenly wanted to come out and stop it.”
The mental activity at that time was a bit blurry.
Chu Zhi did not continue to ask questions, and the two sat quietly.
At that time, he recognized who she was from the very beginning, but he didn’t dare to reveal his identity at all.
From that day to the future, the asymmetry in identity has been doomed.
He was so timid and inferior, not good enough. At first, he was taciturn, but later he was treacherous and changeable. He couldn’t please her, and he couldn’t empathize with the suppressed emotions under her calm and indifferent appearance.
They are all people who are influenced by the past and have grief that cannot be resolved and eliminated. While he admired her, he also regarded her as the only salvation, the only warmth, but at that time… she was also the one who needed to be warmed by others.
They can’t be together like this.
After so long in the palace, the relationship between them has been reported to the ears of several concubines in the harem.
They all want to help their sons.
Not long after, the empress invited Luo Ci to the palace, and the other party sent her own maid, “Concubine Xian wants to invite the princess to enter the palace for a chat.”
Yu Guang, the palace maid, noticed that the two of them were somewhat intimate. Thinking of the mother’s order, she couldn’t help but said to Chu Zhi, “This young master still has to pay attention to his sense of proportion. Even if he is a relative, he should also pay attention to whether the male or female grants or accepts it.”
However, Luo Ci and Fragment were just sitting upright, not even holding hands.
Luo Ci’s voice was indifferent, “Your Majesty has given you a marriage, and he is the future county horse of Ben Gong. He has never done anything unethical.” He was just too lenient.
The palace maid’s face was very ugly, and she hurriedly apologized, “It’s the servant who violated the rules, please punish the princess.”
“Let me know with your mother-in-law that this palace will be returning to the palace with the father and the king in a short time, and this time I will not be able to go to disturb you.”
Of course she knew what the other party was thinking. She didn’t deal with these people very much in the past, and it’s even more impossible now.
The big palace maid had a bitter expression on her face. Although the county lord did not punish her, but when she returned to the empress, there must be a punishment for ineffectiveness. Besides, the empress might be annoyed that the county lord was given a marriage.
She resigned and left. On the way, she met the maids in other palaces. She did not remind her, but she also held the mind of everyone to eat together.
Luo Ci frowned, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. That’s not good in the palace. Even if the answer in her heart was rejection, she had to say it euphemistically, and she had to find a proper reason to shirk it.
Chu Zhi suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, “Junior sister, I’ll take you away.”
He performed light work and took her out of sight of the palace maids in a few moments, but he did not deliberately avoid the guards in the palace, and fell down when he was little.
It was he who took the initiative to take her away, so that no one would say that she did not understand etiquette and correct her.
The guards nearby were a little stunned. He watched them running around in the palace with Qinggong. He had never seen anyone who dared to be so bold in the palace.
But it can’t be said that the other party is not. After all, the other party is upright, and he is not an assassin. He has the county owner as his backing, and he even has to respectfully salute.
It cannot be said that they affected the traffic order in the palace.
Luo Ci couldn’t help but ask, “Senior brother, were you the one who blocked me before?”
She remembered that after that, no empress invited her into the palace.
Although she is the county owner, and she also holds a strong army, no one dares to offend her, but she can’t refute the face of those empresses, even if she refuses, she has to find a good reason.
And those empresses couldn’t easily give up and win over her, but they kept silent and never bothered again.
Chu Zhi replied lightly, “Yeah.”
