Chapter 292 (2/2)
The Xiao emperor took the lantern and looked at the Chu branch: ”how can I not make it?”
Then he handed the lantern to Chu Zhi: ”take it! Others want it, but they don't have this blessing.”
Chu Zhi reached out and said, ”thank you for your grace.”
The Xiao emperor smiled and said, ”go and put on the lanterns!”
Chu Zhi calmly took over the lantern and made three wishes to the lantern. Then he opened his eyes, put the lantern in the water, pushed it gently, and floated away along the water.
Xiao Huang said, ”you're calm. If someone else is scared, they can't speak quickly, let alone make a wish.”
Chu Zhi smiled: ”the master loves the people like a son and is kind and gentle. If you have no shame in your heart, why are you afraid of it?”
”What a 'no shame, no fear'!” Xiao Huang sighed. ”No wonder the virtuous imperial concubine praised you everywhere. She said she would marry you to the crown prince as a side imperial concubine. Now it seems that the virtuous imperial concubine knows the Pearl with her eyes.”
The virtuous imperial concubine wanted to tell Chu Zhi to the crown prince to be a side imperial concubine. It was years ago. It had been suppressed for a long time. How could emperor Xiao suddenly mention it again?
Moreover, it was said in private before. This time, his majesty told Chu Zhi himself. It was a little subtle.
Chu Zhi was about to speak. Emperor Xiao said, ”unfortunately, the prince doesn't agree...” he said here and smiled again. ”It's just a good thing. I owe the prince a lot. I can only follow his heart and make up for him in these things. If he doesn't want to, I can't force it.”
Emperor Xiao's words were not only said to Chu Zhi, but also to others present to show that he attached importance to the prince.
Sure enough, he said to several people: ”you are all new scholars. You are young and energetic. Now you have to support the crown prince as an official in the dynasty, so as to win honor for the family and live up to my love for you.”
Several people hurriedly said, ”I will obey your orders.”
Several people accompanied Xiao Huang for a while. Xiao Huang felt a little tired and proposed to go to Wangjiang building for a cup of tea. They went directly to the third floor and found a position near the window, just facing the Lantern Festival outside. It was very lively.
Looking at the talented women and beauties in the street, Xiao Huang suddenly asked Chu Zhi, ”how old is Fu'an now?”
”Back to your majesty, it will be fifteen after the new year.”
”Fifteen!” sighed emperor Xiao, ”after hairpin, it's time to get married.”
Chu Zhi always knew that his marriage was not up to him. It was all in the hands of emperor Xiao. Now, hearing what emperor Xiao said, his heart jumped. Did he want to marry himself?
The next moment, Emperor Xiao asked, ”do you have a lover?”
Chu Zhi smiled: ”the minister's daughter has been separated from her parents since she was born. Now it's hard to get home and reunite. She only cares about enjoying the warmth of her relatives, but she hasn't thought about it.”
Although Chu Zhi smiled, his eyes were clear and bright. Xiao Huang was dumbfounded. Previously, the virtuous imperial concubine praised Chu Zhi for her beautiful appearance and a warm heart. He looked at it now. In fact, the woman was cold.
”You're right.” emperor Xiao nodded. ”That's right. It's also good to get married later. Chu Qing must hate you to get married so early.”
At this moment, Chu Yan had the most say. He hurriedly said, ”Your Majesty, my father has this intention.”
The Xiao emperor nodded and said no more.
At this time, suddenly a group of people in black came from the outside and rushed straight to the Xiao emperor.
He shouted, ”dog emperor, take your life!”
Suddenly, no one responded. In a flash, the bodyguard brought by Emperor Xiao fought with the man in black.
Chu Zhi was on the right side of the Xiao emperor. When the assassination came suddenly, she grabbed the Xiao emperor and hurried back a few steps to hide behind.
