Chong Ximo sat there steadily and raised his eyes to look at the young Marquis.
"If the emperor knew that Xi Mo liked a daughter in the palace, he would not be stingy and let Xi Mo take her as his concubine."
"This, haha, Xi Mo is right." The young Marquis laughed dryly, so unnaturally.
Chu Qiao pursed her lips and slowly pulled her hand back. Although she knew that Chong Ximo said this just to deal with the little marquis's entanglement, when she heard the word "concubine", Chu Qiao also understood that she was in his
This is nothing more than that in his eyes.
After the young prince finished laughing, he stood up directly and pointed at Yuehan Lake.
"Since we are here, let's go shopping together. This is the most scenic place around the palace." After saying that, the young marquis stood up first and walked outside the Wulong Pavilion.
Chong Ximo raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Qiao without saying anything, then stood up and strode out.
Chu Qiao had no other choice at this time. She picked up the cakes and followed Chong Ximo.
Yuehan Lake, the lake is covered with ice and snow. Because few people come here, the snow surface is relatively even. Walking up it makes a creaking sound, leaving a series of footprints. Although the young prince knows that Chu Qiao is a person who worships Xi Mo, he is unrestrained.
My heart was somewhat restrained, but my eyes would drift over to look at her from time to time.
Chu Qiao deliberately slowed down her pace and widened the distance between her and them.
"Do you know what Princess Xuening means to you?" Suddenly the young Marquis spoke and mentioned Princess Xuening, but Chong Ximo did not respond.
"But the emperor's intention is that he hopes that you will marry the Mongolian princess. This will be a good thing for you and our dynasty." The topic of the young marquis seemed to revolve around Chong Ximo's marriage.
In Chu Qiao's opinion, these words seemed to be deliberately irritating Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao was holding the pastries and lowering her head, trying to act as calm as possible. She did not want to participate in Chong Ximo's noisy affairs. She and he had already broken off their engagement. Whoever he would marry or accept in the future had nothing to do with her.
"I heard that the Mongolian princess also has the beauty of the country and the wildness of the prairie. I didn't know that after marriage..."
The young Marquis' words became more and more frivolous, and Chong Ximo interrupted him directly.
"It's getting late and getting cold, so it's time to go back."
"It's so rare to be in such a good mood, why are you in a hurry to go back? Let's go for a walk again." The young Marquis was still in high spirits and hoped that Chong Ximo would accompany him for another walk.
"Before Xi Mo entered the palace, he told his mother that he would go back before dark. If he doesn't leave now, it might be too late. If the young marquis is interested, he can continue to play. Xi Mo will go first."
After saying that, Chong Ximo turned around and strode back. Chu Qiao also quickly turned around and followed him in small steps. Although she had already walked far away, she could still feel the young marquis' gaze staring at her back.
Neither of them spoke during the whole journey. Soon they arrived at the back door of the palace. Chu Qiao looked around and stopped.
"Sir, Chunxiang is familiar with the road here. Chunxiang can go back by herself."
Chong Ximo turned around and looked at Chu Qiao. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke.
"What I said to the young Marquis at Wulong Pavilion..."
Before Chong Ximo could finish speaking, Chu Qiao quickly took over.
"My lord, you don't have to worry too much. Chunxiang knows that it is a temporary measure, so she won't think too much about it. Sir, please rest assured that Chunxiang will leave now."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, she put the pastry plate into Chong Ximo's hand.
"Please explain to me and the princess, if there are any left, Chunxiang will get into trouble."
After Chu Qiao said these words, she also cleared all the relationships. She hoped that she would not deliver meals to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow, and even if she did, it would not be Chong Ximo.
Although she had walked far away, Chu Qiao could still feel that he was still standing there, looking at her, which made her spine feel like thorns and her heart was filled with panic. When she saw a moon gate in front of her, she didn't even think about it.
He walked directly in and hid his figure behind the Moon Gate.
Standing behind the Moon Gate, Chu Qiao touched her rapidly beating heart. She didn't know why she was afraid of that man.
Isn't he Miss Chu Si's past fiancé?
He didn't know his true identity, so there was nothing scary about it. Although Chu Qiao persuaded him in this way, he still couldn't get rid of the uneasiness in his heart. When he looked around carefully, he realized that he had taken the wrong way because he was anxious. She had never come in here before.
Pass.
Exit the way you came? I wonder if Chong Ximo is still standing there, and I bump into him again when I go out. I don’t know how to explain my wandering around like this. If I walk in, I really don’t know which way to go back to the imperial dining room.
Just when Chu Qiao was in a dilemma, she suddenly heard a voice coming from inside the Moon Gate. It sounded like it was the prince.
"Your Majesty, my servants have searched all over, but they can't find the owner of this slingshot. Even the servants and maids, the servants have sent people to ask them one by one."
"No?"
A voice rang out coldly, making Chu Qiao's pores stand up. Could this be the emperor? Why did she come to this place so recklessly? She usually called herself "I" in front of the old imperial chef,
Chu Qiao never dreamed that she would hear the real emperor's voice today. It sounded like the emperor was not in a good mood.
"It's really strange. Where can a little palace daughter go? Could it be that she has left the palace? But recently I checked and found that only the palace daughters who have entered the palace and are over the age have not left the palace in the past few days."
The prince's voice became lower and lower, thinking that he couldn't find a woman to use the slingshot, and he was afraid of making the emperor angry, so he had to delay his promotion to the position of general manager.
"It's really useless, I can't even find anyone!"
The emperor's voice was a little displeased, and then there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front, which seemed to be coming towards the Moon Gate, and the speed was very fast, almost like a meteor.
Oops, Chu Qiao wanted to run out of the Moon Gate at this time, but it was already too late. There was not even a bush or flower where she could be invisible inside the Moon Gate. She would soon be exposed to the eyes of the prince and the emperor.
.
If a cook was caught like this and caught by the emperor, the consequences can be imagined.
Just when Chu Qiao's face turned pale and her legs were trembling, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, and then her arm was grabbed by someone. Chu Qiao was already extremely nervous, but if she was caught like this, her soul would fly out.
She almost screamed out in surprise until she saw Chong Ximo's deep eyes.
"You don't know the way, but you still dare to wander in!"
With a stern look in his eyes, he thrust the tray into Chu Qiao's hand.
At this time, on the right side of the moon, two figures were walking towards this side one after another. Chu Qiao did not dare to raise her head. She could only see a range of less than half a meter above the ground. In her sight, there seemed to be a section of an embroidered dragon.
Imperial robe, if this is not the current emperor, who else could it be?
