In the secret room, Chu Si leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes tightly, and fell into memories.
a year ago
Chongwangfuzhong
Chu Si was wearing a dark black gown and was having lunch in the mansion.
Suddenly, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl dressed in hot red and wearing pigtails rushed into the hall. There was a whip on his waist, and his boots made a thumping sound when he stepped on the ground.
Zhao Ling'er stared at her big eyes and spotted her master at a glance.
The girl shouted at Chu Si: "I want to break off the engagement!!!"
Hearing this news, Chu Si was not surprised at all. This marriage contract was originally a way for the Minister of Household Affairs to express his loyalty to the current emperor. When his position in the emperor's heart was stable, he regretted it because the marriage partner , cannot bring benefits to oneself.
Since the engagement was made three years ago, Chu Si knew that this day would come, and she had only met her fiancée a few times in the past three years.
Chu Si looked up at the girl in front of her, wondering whether it was her idea or her father's. However, she couldn't help laughing when she thought about this. What's the point of thinking about it.
Chu Si faced the old eunuch who stood behind her and took care of her since childhood: "Eunuch Tong, please bring the marriage certificate." Eunuch Tong replied: "Yes, Your Highness."
Chu Si looked at the surprised Zhao Ling'er: "Second Miss Zhao, please sit down. I have asked Eunuch Tong to get the marriage certificate."
When Zhao Ling'er saw this scene, she still didn't understand that the other party had agreed to break off the engagement. Before coming, she had made various assumptions, such as why the other party refused to break off the engagement, begging her in every possible way, or threatening herself. After all, the other party could not do anything. The emperor loves him, and he is also a prince.
Considering this possibility, he also brought his favorite whip over to increase his arrogance.
As for the other party agreeing to break off the engagement without saying a word, this was not within the scope of her consideration at all. After all, although I am not a beautiful woman, I am still a stunning beauty.
And the scene before him was a naked mockery of himself, as if he punched out with all his strength and hit the air. It really made people feel tight in their chests. All the methods I have come up with are completely different from those of this person.
I obviously broke off the engagement successfully, but I couldn't feel happy in my heart. Instead, I felt a little bit disappointed. What's wrong with me? I just want to find the person I like and spend the rest of my life with him. I don't want to marry someone. I thought so as someone I had only met a few times, but I still felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Chu Si's gentle voice came over again: "Second Miss, please sit down. I have asked Eunuch Tong to get the marriage certificate. Have you had lunch? If not, just use it here."
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly replied: "I...I have eaten."
After hearing this, Chu Si said nothing: "Well, second lady, please excuse me." After saying that, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Zhao Ling'er didn't know why she said she had eaten lunch even though she hadn't.
He looked around in the hall, but his eyes still glanced at Chu Si from time to time. How could he be so gentle and calm and not get angry?
In her eyes, Chu Si was eating slowly, one bite at a time, chewing carefully and elegantly.
Zhao Ling'er felt that she would never learn to eat like this.
Taking advantage of the situation, he looked at the dining table again, and Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly. He was a majestic prince, but the lunch he ate was not as good as the servants in his house, and yet he lived in such poverty. But looking at his expression while eating, I didn't think there was anything wrong.
There were three plates of dishes on the dining table, two vegetarian and one meat.
The vegetables are green vegetables and bean sprouts, the meat is a small plate of thin bacon, and a small bowl of egg and tofu soup. You can take a sip of the soup after eating.
At this moment, Eunuch Tong, who had left earlier, came back with the marriage certificate in his hand and stood beside Chu Si.
After Chu Si finished eating the meal, she said: "Your Highness, the marriage certificate has been brought." Chu Si reached out and took it from Eunuch Tong's hand, opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he said: "Eunuch Tong, thank you for your hard work."
Eunuch Tong bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration. It's not hard for me at all."
Chu Si stood up with the marriage certificate, came to Zhao Ling'er and said: "Second Miss, I brought the marriage certificate. I checked it, but there are still errors." He handed the marriage certificate over casually.
Zhao Ling'er said oh and reached out to take the marriage certificate without checking it. "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." I just felt like I couldn't stay here any longer.
Chu Si smiled indifferently and stretched her right hand out of the door: "Second Miss, please"
After Zhao Ling'er received this answer, she was obviously a little depressed. She lowered her head, turned around and walked slowly out of the hall.
At this time, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Chu Si: "Don't you want to say anything to me?"
Chu Si looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Be careful on the road."
When Zhao Ling'er heard Chu Si's answer, her mood became even more depressed. I don't know since when, this gentle and jade-like man had a place in her heart.
When did it start, was it the engagement day, or the few meetings that happened, but now they are all in the past, maybe I can find someone I like?
He will also find a princess who likes him, right? ? ?
After thinking clearly, Zhao Ling'er turned around and strode towards the palace gate.
Chu Si looked at the beautiful back of the beautiful lady in front of her, and for some reason she felt a trace of sadness in her heart, as if something that originally belonged to her had left her. Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Chu Si turned around and walked towards the palace garden. She was not in the mood to eat anymore. .
After this incident, almost everyone in Yujing City knew that His Highness Prince Chong had been annulled. It is estimated that the Zhao family was afraid that he would go back on his word and let him go. He became the laughing stock again, or he had always been the laughing stock.
Afterwards, when Chu Si learned about this, he was not as furious as the outside world had speculated, because he was a laughing stock since his birth. From birth to now, he has been ridiculed for seventeen years, and his sadness and anger at the beginning have turned into what he is now. Treat it calmly.
In the secret room, Chu Si opened her eyes, woke up from her memories, stood up and walked towards the door of the secret room.
