Chapter 1016 It’s Still Too Late to Pretend to Be Cute 43

He had this sense of proportion from the beginning.

But he didn't know what he thought of again, so Su Yu glanced at the place where Chu Ci had just put down the flower note.

"So... Concubine Lan asked you to enter the palace before because she thought I was going to fall and couldn't protect you?"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, and in connection with what Chu Ci had just said, he couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.

"Aunt Lan thinks you will get me into trouble." The little girl said this so smoothly that she blurted it out without even thinking about it.

Su Yu:......

Although it was an expected conclusion, it still made me feel a little uncomfortable when the little girl in front of me said it.

Then Chu Ci added, "So I think the child adopter I mentioned before is not reliable, so I still have to find another one."

"Do you still want to change one?"

Su Yu's originally clear voice was suddenly lowered, sounding a little sinister.

Then Chu Ci raised her hand and pulled his hair, "Didn't I just say that..."

The little girl's eyes were bright and she squinted slightly with a smile, "I won't switch to another family. If anything happens, I can protect you."

Su Yu trembled and responded.

Lower your eyes.

Although I always felt that the roles between the two were somewhat reversed, I still couldn't suppress the feeling in my heart.

Su Yu lowered his head, but the corners of his lips raised little by little.

Then, as Chu Ci and Concubine Lan thought, things gradually became chaotic.

The emperor's health was getting worse day by day. He had tried his best to hide it in the past, but as his condition gradually worsened, he could no longer hide it.

With the overlapping of emperors, the bloodshed in this dynasty will eventually rise.

The time for the imperial examination also came at this time. Originally, I wanted to give up the imperial examination because of the emperor's health, but in the end I wanted to hold it only once every four years. If I missed it this time, I don't know how much useful things I would miss. talent.

And he somewhat wanted to use this kind of thing to bring some joy to the emperor, so the imperial examination was carried out as usual in the end.

A large number of candidates entered the imperial city to take the exam.

Naturally, this also included the young man of the right age who seemed to be a perfect fit for Chu Ci's family that Concubine Lan Guifei had longed for.

Because the Beiji Emperor was of low origin from the beginning, the rules were not as stringent as those of the royal families of previous dynasties, so the concubines could meet their relatives in the presence of many people.

So Chu Ci also met this young man who was praised to the heavens by Concubine Lan.

His name is Chen Ting. He is about 20 years old. He came to the imperial city from Concubine Lan's hometown to take part in the imperial examination. Looking at the clear breeze and bright moon, he is as gentle as jade. He does look like the young girls from the Beiji Dynasty. .

When he saw Chu Ci, he was neither too close nor too distant, and his grasp was just right. It was because of this grasp that Chu Ci suddenly couldn't find a way to reject this person.

However, they didn't mention anything, so Chu Ci didn't say anything more and left the palace directly when the time came.

Su Yu has been getting busier and busier lately, and usually goes somewhere without seeing anyone.

It was the same today. People disappeared early in the morning, and Chu Ci was nowhere to be seen until Chu Ci came back.

And there does seem to be some turmoil within the royal family recently.
