Chapter 1455: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (34)

Zhao Zijin returned to the room with doubts, wanting to wait for Xiao Chuhua's subsequent attitude before making a decision.

Xiao Chuhua dropped the memorial and raised his hand towards the void. A secret guard appeared in front of Xiao Chuhua: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Has the skinner not been found yet?"

"We have discovered his exact whereabouts, and our subordinates are trying their best to catch him. However, he is very good at evading enemies, so it will take some time to catch him."

"Don't push him too hard. I'm asking him to help. Don't let him harbor resentment and cause me to lose control."

"Yes, I will tell you right away." With the news about the skinner, Xiao Chuhua was in high spirits: "Go to Fengkang Palace!"

Dai Ke changed his bloodstained clothes and washed the blood off his hands.

Squeak——

Hearing the door open, Dai Ke looked back vigilantly.

When he saw it was Xiao Chuhua, Dai Ke returned to normal.

"Why is Your Majesty here?"

As Xiao Chuhua came in, the maid also brought in food.

"I'll have lunch with you."

Dai Ke sat down, Xiao Chuhua sat next to her and asked gently: "What do you like to eat on weekdays? Next time I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it for you."

"I have no dietary restrictions."

"So, do you have any particular favorite dishes, or any dishes that have a special meaning to you?"

"No." Xiao Chuhua was slightly disappointed. He picked up the dish and put it in Dai Ke's bowl. He asked casually, "At the last banquet, Wen Qingshu left after you left. What did you talk about?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to make things clear with him? I just told you some truths and asked you to put yourself in your proper place."

"Actually, I'm quite interested in your story. How did the only son of a right prime minister get to know a concubine's daughter?"

Dai Ke glanced at Xiao Chuhua and asked, "Why does your majesty suddenly ask this?"

"I'm just curious. It's inconvenient to tell you?"

"It's not inconvenient. That was seven years ago, during the royal hunting event. Your Majesty should have been there too."

"At that time, Wen Qingshu was a playful person and sneaked into the hunting grounds. As a result, the horse got scared and rushed off the cliff."

"At that time, Dai Muqing tricked me and I got lost in the hunting grounds. I happened to run into Wen Qingshu who was in distress, and I rescued him." "Since then, we have become good friends who can talk about anything. He would always sneak over the wall to enter the Dai family's yard and always see me in such a mess."

Xiao Chuhua's mind was fixed on the moment when Wen Qingshu was in danger.

At that time, she also discovered Wen Qingshu entering the hunting ground, but when she left the other princes behind to look for Wen Qingshu, she could no longer find any trace of him.

When she heard that Wen Qingshu was in danger, she felt a little regretful.

If she had given up on dealing with the other princes and hadn't cared too much about what the other princes thought of her, then she would have been the one who saved Wen Qingshu and accompanied him for so many years, right?

Xiao Chuhua felt mixed emotions: "It sounds like you had a wonderful time, but why didn't he propose to the Dai family?"

If Wen Qingshu had proposed marriage, everything would be different now, right?

"Your Majesty should be the most clear about the hierarchy of status. Wen Qingshu is the only son of the Right Prime Minister, and I am just a concubine's daughter. How could the Right Prime Minister agree to Wen Qingshu marrying me?"

"Even if he can't marry you, he can take you as a concubine. Shouldn't the Right Prime Minister disagree?"

"I didn't mention the concubine, and neither did Wen Qingshu. He just said he would persuade the Right Prime Minister to agree, but after waiting for a while, I was forced to marry Zhao Wei."

Xiao Chuhua asked again: "You are unwilling to accept this, so you are planning to destroy the Zhao family?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's Zhao Wei who sold his wife for fame and fortune. He sold me to Fang Zhishan for some benefits. Otherwise, how could Fang Zhishan sneak into the Dai Mansion?"

Xiao Chuhua figured out the grudge and turned the topic back: "Then you have never felt sorry?"

"What's a pity?"

"Not with Wen Qingshu."

For the original owner, it might be a pity. But in her memory, the original owner lived in fear every day, and she had no mood to think about Wen Qingshu.

She had never imagined the possibility between herself and Wen Qingshu.

But to Dai Ke, Wen Qingshu was just someone he knew.

Wen Qingshu only likes the original owner.

"Don't feel sorry for something that is impossible."

Xiao Chuhua admired Dai Ke's open-mindedness and optimism: "What about Zhao Zijin? What's going on between you and him?"

Dai Ke picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Chuhua's bowl: "Your Majesty has too many questions."

Xiao Chuhua ate the piece of meat, and watched Dai Ke's every move carefully with his peripheral vision, sometimes even deliberately imitating him.

Afraid that Dai Ke would notice his actions, Xiao Chuhua continued chatting to divert attention: "Zhao Zijin is back. According to the report from the Imperial Hospital, he was seriously injured and almost died." Dai Ke thought of Zhao Zijin's miserable condition and guessed that he was seriously injured.

"From what Your Majesty said last time, Zhao Zijin went to solve a problem for Your Majesty. How does Your Majesty plan to reward him?"

Xiao Chuhua was vague: "He has good abilities and is suitable to work beside me, so I don't want to transfer him. It's better to reward him with more wealth."

Dai Ke knew very well that what Zhao Zijin wanted was not wealth, but power and status.

"Wealth is not as effective as an official position in winning people's hearts. He narrowly escaped death this time. Your Majesty, don't you plan to promote him?"

"Even if you want him to continue to serve you, there are many official positions for him to choose from."

Xiao Chuhua didn't like others telling him what to do, but he still said patiently: "I have my own arrangements."

Fearing that Dai Ke would continue the topic, Xiao Chuhua hurriedly ate a few bites and left. Dai Ke didn't care whether he left or not and continued to eat his meal.

005 suddenly reminded [Host, this Xiao Chuhua is imitating you. ]

Dai Ke's attention was not on Xiao Chuhua and he did not notice his movements, but 005 saw the whole process clearly.

Whether it's the action of lifting up the sleeves when picking up food, the way of holding chopsticks, or every frown and smile, he is deliberately imitating Dai Ke.

This behavior is very strange.

Dai Ke paused in picking up the food and looked towards the place where Xiao Chuhua had just sat.

"Imitate me?"

Dai Ke's brows drooped, gradually realizing that something was wrong.

If she just wanted to take a concubine to conceal her identity, she actually had other options.

She could easily take some gentle people who have no fighting spirit as concubines, who could also cover up for her.

Why did they choose her, who is full of controversy, as their consort?

After the last banquet, most officials already knew Dai Ke's identity.

Those officials did not expose the truth because they were afraid that Xiao Chuhua would punish them.

But if this matter were to be known to the people and rumors were to spread widely, would Xiao Chuhua be able to withstand the pressure from the people and continue to allow her to sit on the throne of queen?

The more Dai Ke thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Chuhua's intentions were not pure.

"Someone is coming."

The masked secret guard appeared, and Dai Ke ordered: "Follow Xiao Chuhua, I want to know what she does besides politics."

"Yes!"
