Mo Zhaohua heard that there was something wrong in Chu Xuanchi's tone, so he closed the account book in his hand.

She looked at Chu Xuanchi and saw that his face was also strange, so she asked hurriedly, "But what's the matter with King Rui?"

"It's okay." Chu Xuanchi hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to say it, so as to avoid embarrassing Mo Zhaohua in the future.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Mo Zhaohua stood up and walked up to him, "Mu Chi, is there something you can't tell me directly?"

Chu Xuanchi did not deny it, "Well..."

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "Mu Chi also has a little secret?"

Chu Xuanchi denied it repeatedly, "No, I am willing to be honest, but I am afraid that Zhao Zhao will be embarrassed."

"Huh? Is it related to me?" Mo Zhaohua was a little curious. "It's okay. I'm not afraid of difficulties."

It was rare for Chu Xuanchi to be so conflicted and awkward. "During the wedding in the past, it was the Seventh Elder who went to the Shangshu Mansion to welcome the bride."

"Why, Mu Chi asked me what I think of Prince Rui, because he was afraid that I would have strange feelings towards him because of the wedding?"

Mo Zhaohua reacted and said, "No, Mu Chi knows my feelings for you, so you are worried about Prince Rui?"

Chu Xuanchi whispered, "I'm not afraid, I've already seen it, and because I'm afraid of putting pressure on Zhao Zhao, I hesitated whether to tell him or not."

"How could King Rui..." Mo Zhaohua had never thought that Chu Xuanlin in this life would have feelings for her between a man and a woman.

Although Chu Xuanlin in his previous life was not a wicked person, he was her enemy because he was associated with Chu Xuanhan.

Henry Chu said sullenly: “The atmosphere at that time, coupled with the fact that there were no women in Old Seven’s backyard, it was inevitable that I would think too much.”

Mo Zhaohua blinked, "Huh? Mu Chi has a love rival?"

Chu Xuanchi's face drooped, "Zhao Zhao is very happy?"

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were shining like stars, "Shouldn't I be happy to be loved by others?"

Chu Xuanchi felt his heart suddenly choked up, "Zhao Zhao is so good, she really deserves to be loved."

Mo Zhaohua sat sideways on his lap, "I don't need others to love me, as long as you keep me in your heart."

Chu Xuanchi put his arms around her waist and pursed his lips aggrievedly, "Zhao Zhao, are you teasing me again?"

Mo Zhaohua hugged his neck, "Mu Chi, no matter what King Rui thinks, there is only room for you in my heart."

Chu Xuanchi sighed, "I know and believe it. I am afraid that Old Seven will get deeper and deeper into trouble, and he happens to be close to Old Six."

If Chu Xuanlin could be as impartial and trustworthy as the Eighth Prince, he would not mind revealing his feelings for Mo Zhaohua.

But Chu Xuanlin and Chu Xuanhan are so close. If Chu Xuanhan knew about this, he would know that Mo Zhaohua is his weak spot.

Mo Zhaohua frowned slightly, "This is indeed difficult to deal with. How about I use the excuse of feeling unwell and not go to see Prince Rui today?"

"In this case, he will probably worry about Zhaozhao." Chu Xuanchi didn't want other men to worry about his beloved wife.

Mo Zhaohua thought for a moment, "Prince Rui has left the palace and established his own residence. It's a pity that Concubine Shu doesn't care. Mu Chi can mention it to His Majesty."

Chu Xuanlin had already set up his own household last year, but he had never been interested in women and had never mentioned marriage on his own initiative.

Although the prince's marriage was not arranged by a matchmaker, it was decided by his parents, and Emperor Wenzong had absolute say in it.

As the elder brother, if Chu Xuanchi had mentioned this to Emperor Wenzong, given his current influence, Emperor Wenzong would probably have taken it to heart.

"It's a good idea to let the seventh son get married." Chu Xuanchi agreed, "Once he gets married and has a woman, maybe he will think differently."

Mo Zhaohua smiled sweetly, "That's right. Prince Qi was so close to the concubine in the past. Now, doesn't he have some affection for Prince Qi's mansion?"

Chu Xuanchi didn't care much about Chu Xuanhan's backyard, "How did Zhaozhao know that Lao Liu had feelings for Yuchi Jiyue?"

Mo Zhaohua pursed his lips and said, "Mingyueju often calls for water several times a night. If there is no friendship, how can King Qi be so diligent?"

Chu Xuanchi was stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled, "Zhao Zhao, your words are getting bolder and bolder now."

Mo Zhaohua's face flushed with anger as she explained in a low voice, "I am only so bold in front of Mu Chi."

Chu Xuanchi's smile grew. "Zhao Zhao is indeed honest with me. I will also be frank. You look so attractive when you blush."

Mo Zhaohua looked at him with burning eyes, "I have something even more daring, would you like to try it, Mu Chi?"

"As long as Zhaozhao is willing, why can't I do it?" Even if she stabbed him with a knife, Chu Xuanchi would be happy to do it.

Mo Zhaohua would not hurt him, she just moved closer to him and took the initiative to kiss his soft and attractive lips...

***

That afternoon.

Chu Xuanlin brought gifts to Prince Yu's Mansion to express his gratitude.

Mo Zhaohua did not deliberately avoid him and still followed Chu Xuanchi to receive the guests.

But not long after, Mo Zhaohua found an excuse to leave, reducing the time he spent with him.

Chu Xuanchi deliberately tried to test, "The last time I went to the palace with your sister-in-law, the grandmother mentioned your marriage."

Chu Xuanlin was in a dilemma. "The Imperial Grandmother mentioned this to me, but I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter myself."

It was the first day of the new year when he went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. He went with his two brothers, and ended up being implicated and also got scolded.

However, he never entered the palace again afterwards, Empress Dowager Yuande never mentioned his marriage, and Emperor Wenzong never said a word either.

Chu Xuanchi asked again, "Do you have any ideas? If you have a girl you like, you can also ask your sister-in-law and grandmother to talk to her."

Chu Xuanlin didn't dare to have any hope. "Thank you for your kindness, my brother. I won't think too much about it for now. I'll leave it to my father to decide."

Chu Xuanchi mentioned Mo Zhaohua intentionally, "Father has a good eye. This marriage of mine was also arranged by Father."

Chu Xuanlin felt envious, "Yes, so I won't think too much about it. If we want to get married, we will wait for the emperor to grant the marriage."

"Your situation is different from mine. I left Beijing when I was young and am not familiar with the women of Shengjing, so I have no choice."

Chu Xuanchi really hopes that Chu Xuanlin can make his own choice. As long as it is not too excessive, he is willing to help him.

Seeing that he cared so much about his marriage, Chu Xuanlin was a little confused, "Actually, I'm not familiar with women in Shengjing either."

Chu Xuanchi did not force it any further, "I am just following the wishes of the Royal Grandmother. If you don't have any other ideas, then forget it."

The topic was over, and the two brothers started talking about official business. Since they were in the same Inspection Department, they could talk about everything.

Before they knew it, they had been chatting for the entire afternoon. As it was getting dark, Chu Xuanchi invited him to have dinner.

Chu Xuanlin was not polite either. He had been spending more time with Chu Xuanchi recently, and their relationship had become closer, no longer so distant.

Besides, last time in Changchun Palace, Chu Xuanchi helped him, and he was really grateful, so he had more feelings for him.

Sometimes he even felt that although Chu Xuanchi seemed a little indifferent, it was easier to get along with him than with Chu Xuanhan.

He kind of likes this royal brother.
