Chapter 89 Is he really that well-behaved?
Qin Su followed the little guard through countless seemingly endless red-pillared corridors, finally stepping into this magnificent, solemn, and splendid palace.

The sunlight reflected off the auspicious beast on the glazed tiles, and she unconsciously squinted, feeling as if she were in a dream.

As Qin Su was awestruck by the magnificent palace, Eunuch Liu also looked at this young woman, who was said to have won the favor of the Seventh Prince, with a critical eye.

The girl wore a blue and pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with tassel hair ornaments hanging from her hair, shimmering lightly as she walked.

Her appearance... exquisite and vibrant, gentle and pure, not the kind of beauty that is aggressive, but a pure and charming beauty that makes people want to look at her a second time, somewhat like a fairy who is ethereal and untouched by the mortal world.

Eunuch Li hissed inwardly. So this is the type of girl the Seventh Prince likes?
I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking, since the two of them have always had completely opposite tastes.

"Miss Qin, His Highness is inside handling official business. No matter how we try to persuade him, he won't come out. We'd appreciate your help."

Ye Fan, dressed in the uniform of a palace guard, stepped forward and took over from Liu Ying to make a request to Qin Su.

Qin Su gently bit her lip, not wanting to be presumptuous, and repeated what she had just said to Liu Ying to the man: "I can only try... His Highness is not so easy to persuade."

The girl's voice was gentle and her eyes were bright, making everyone who spoke to her subconsciously assume that she was "harmless".

Ye Fan knew he couldn't force the issue, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Qin."

Qin Su nodded, and under the curious and nervous gazes of the crowd, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the tall and wide palace gate.

[Host, these people are looking at you like you're a savior.] The system suddenly chimed in, almost ruining Qin Su's perfect performance.

"Shut up."

After issuing a cold warning, the girl reached out and pushed open the palace door.

Pushing open the door, one realizes what a magnificent palace it is. Fish oil lamps are lit everywhere, making it as bright as day, and one feels a slight chill as one enters.
-
"No, if we just let a little girl like that go in, won't she... come out with her neck twisted?"

Seeing Qin Su go inside, Eunuch Li felt a rare pang of sympathy.

Ye Fan and Liu Ying, who were also staring at the palace gate, exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Just you wait and see!"

The latter quietly pressed his chest, where the little girl's newly given sachet was placed.

Sure enough, in just this short time, he actually felt a little sleepy.
-
Chu Jiang noticed someone pushing the door open and entering, but he didn't move; he simply kept his head down, reviewing the memorials.

These past few days, he followed that wicked woman's advice and did not leave the palace to see her, nor did he inquire about anything concerning her.

They focus solely on handling their official duties, sometimes to the point of neglecting sleep and meals, and exhausting themselves completely.

He didn't quite believe the bad woman's words, yet he still couldn't suppress the secret desire that arose within him.

As the familiar, faintly sweet fragrance reached his nose, a certain possibility exploded in his mind, and Chu Jiang almost broke the pen by gripping it too tightly.

How can it be,

Did she really come?
Even though his heart was screaming to look up, he still remembered the woman's reminder and suppressed his desire, focusing intently on reviewing the memorials, even though he could no longer read a single word of what was written on them.

"You haven't turned the page for a while, are you tired of reading?"

A light and melodious female voice suddenly rang out in the empty hall. Chu Jiang was finally able to raise his head, his dark eyes appearing somewhat cold as he suppressed his excitement: "What are you doing here?"

Seeing him look up, the little girl blinked, gave him a sweet and charming smile, and boldly walked up to him, intending to take the pen from his hand:

"Because I heard that some people are so engrossed in their work that they forget to eat and sleep, which can ruin their health."

She always speaks in such a gentle and sweet way, treating people like children, as if she never gets angry.

No, there are. For some scumbag who has no redeeming qualities, she not only gets angry at him, but also cries and makes a scene.

"Click~"

The jade brush, which had already been partially removed, finally succumbed to the pressure and was crushed to pieces.

Qin Su was stunned, her mouth slightly agape, clearly surprised.

Chu Jiang tossed aside the broken jade in his hand, a mocking smile curving his thin lips:

"It's rare that you still have time to care about me. I thought that once you had Brother Murong, you wouldn't remember anyone else."

酸,
It's so sour...

Qin Su blinked, her expression somewhat innocent: "Why did you suddenly bring him up? Weren't we talking about your meal?"

Chu Jiang sneered: "Why can't I mention it? I can mention it whenever I want. If you want to see him, I can bring him here for you right now, believe it or not?"

Qin Su: ……

"Why aren't you saying anything? I've hit the nail on the head, so you really want to see him?"

The man pushed back his chair and stood up, his handsome face flashing with obvious jealousy, though he himself was unaware of it.

"I didn't, you said it yourself..."

The little girl frowned slightly, turned her head away from him, and looked at him as if to say, "You're being unreasonable."

Chu Jiang's anger inexplicably flared even higher, and he walked straight over and grabbed her hand: "What did I say? Isn't what I said exactly what you're thinking?"

It seemed as if flames were burning in his dark eyes, and Qin Su found herself having time to let her mind wander.

With his personality, he'll start interfering in everything even before anything's happened. If we actually got together, would he even want to live?

"Qin, Sang, Sang!"

It wasn't until the man's voice, tinged with warning and intimidation, rang out that Qin Su realized she had been lost in thought while he was angry.

It seems that not only is the other party possessive, but she also doesn't seem to be as afraid of him anymore.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You must be hungry, right? Let's go eat, okay?"

The girl suddenly reached out and hugged his arm, her soft body pressed against him, which seemed to instantly suppress most of the man's anger.

Chu Jiang was stunned, his ears turning red. He suppressed the urge to throw her away and scolded her, "Let go! Don't think I'll let you off the hook just like that!"

The little girl blinked her pretty eyes at him, her voice soft and coquettish: "Can we talk about it after we eat? My mother called me over early this morning to talk about finding a husband, and I haven't eaten yet..."

Chu Jiang's attention was instantly drawn to her last question: "What do you mean by 'fortune telling'?"

Qin Su opened her mouth, then closed it again, and directly changed the subject: "You know what I mean, let's go eat first, okay? I've never eaten food made by the imperial chefs in the palace before."

As she spoke, she took the tyrant's hand and led him outside.

As Chu Jiang was led away, the two words "look at each other" kept repeating in his mind.

Is this idiot going to find someone to marry?

Think beautiful!
He doesn't allow it!
