Chen Lan was boiling inside for half a day, seeing that the Crown Prince really didn't have any intention of controlling the Crown Princess. Chen Lan couldn't hold it in and spoke out: "Crown Princess... every pearl on the Star Luo Chain is priceless..."
Those few broken beads of yours are not worth as much as a single bead from the Starlight Chain, even if you bought tens of millions of them...
Of course, Chen Lan didn't dare say the latter sentence out loud, but she had already expressed what needed to be said.
However, Chen Lan had barely finished speaking when he was stared at by Emperor Feng's icy gaze, and Chen Lan could only hastily lower his head, not daring to say another word. Nevertheless, he still suffered the cold rebuke of the Crown Prince: "Withdraw."
Chu Ci looked at Chen Lan bowing her head and retreating, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the Crown Prince again, hesitated for a moment before finally opening her mouth to ask: "Your Highness, can't these pearls be used to repair the Star Luo Chain?"
She had thought that the few pearls she bought were already quite valuable, but from Chen Lan's tone, it was clear that she looked down on the pearls she bought, and even feared that she would use these few pearls to lower the value of the Star Luo chain.
In other words, compared to the pearls on the starry chain, what she bought were indeed some broken pearls...
However, Emperor Wu merely said: "Alright, you handle it yourself."
The tone sounds as indifferent as ever, but seems to be mixed with a hint of "as long as you're happy".
Then, Chu Ci ate the sweet soup and her heart inexplicably softened a little.
Of course, Chu Ci was happy in her heart, but she still didn't plan to use these few pearls to fill the gaps in Prince Taizi's starry chain.
She thought that since she couldn't find a good pearl to replace it for the time being, she might as well wear it on her hand for now and deal with it later when she found a better one.
After dinner, Chu Ci said "see you tomorrow" to the Crown Prince and was about to leave, but Emperor Di Lian called out to her in a low voice: "Where are you going?"
"Back......" The two words "to the bedroom" hadn't even had time to leave his lips when Chu Ci suddenly reacted to something, and looking at the Crown Prince again, he hastily changed his words: "I'll go back and change into some other clothes?"
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her, asking straightforwardly and clearly, "Why did you want to change into another set of clothes?"
"I... will go back and take a bath before going to the Crown Prince's palace, won't I?" Chu Ci stared blankly at Emperor Zhi, not understanding what he was sizing her up for.
Di Jin's eyes stared at her for a moment, blinked calmly, and his mouth curved slightly as he replied in a light tone, "Okay."
Chu Ci returned to her bedroom in a daze, feeling that Emperor Mo's last glance at her was somehow unscrupulous and seemed to carry a hint of teasing amidst his cold arrogance.
After nightfall, Chu Ci put on her cloak and was about to head towards the Crown Prince's palace when she found a sedan chair waiting for her outside the door of her bedroom. Several guards told her that it was sent by the Crown Prince himself to take her there...
Chu Ci felt this action was a bit strangely inexplicable, especially since Chen Shi was still behind her with a shy and smiling expression.
After Chu Ci got into the sedan chair, Chu Ci suddenly had a sharp reaction, this... doesn't this mean serving in bed?
Your Highness...
Isn't she thinking of whitewashing her past as a concubine?
So that's why he stared at her like that, and even went out of his way to have the sedan come pick her up?
No, no, no! Your Highness, this is a huge misunderstanding!
