Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Wenzong summoned Chu Xuanchi again, "Old Fifth, what do you think of the Mo family girl? Are you satisfied?"

Chu Xuanchi asked Wuying to go to the Shangshu Mansion to pick up Mo Zhaohua with great fanfare, and the whole Shengjing City knew about it.

But the two sides did not interact again after that. Emperor Wenzong was afraid that Chu Xuanchi did not like Mo Zhaohua, and if he said something to the generals in private, it would affect his reputation.

"Since it is my father who has granted the marriage, then whether I am satisfied or not, don't I have to marry her into the palace?" Chu Xuanchi knew what he was thinking and would not show any interest in Mo Zhaohua.

Emperor Wenzong's heart sank slightly, "Are you dissatisfied? You should know that Lao Liu also asked me to marry a Mo family girl, but I agreed to you."

Chu Xuanchi said calmly, "As long as your Majesty thinks it's appropriate, I have no objection. I believe that what your Majesty gives will be excellent."

Emperor Wenzong hurried to say something nice, "Although the Mo family girl's family background is a little inferior, she has a very good appearance and a good reputation, and she is also proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "I have also heard about it. I also heard that the Sixth Prince and Miss Mo are in love with each other."

Emperor Wenzong explained, "How can there be mutual affection? It's just Lao Liu's wishful thinking. Don't ruin the reputation of a girl."

Chu Xuanchi deliberately pointed out the matter, "But since my sixth brother asked the emperor for a marriage, and the emperor gave it to me, I'm afraid my sixth brother will hate me, right?"

Emperor Wenzong took the initiative to take charge of this matter. "You don't need to worry about this. I will talk to the Sixth Prince. The imperial decree for the marriage has been issued. You should get closer to the Mo family girl."

Chu Xuanchi responded, "Yes, Father."

Emperor Wenzong was eager for him to accept Mo Zhaohua, "That girl has a good personality, and your grandmother likes her very much. You will definitely discover her good points if you spend more time with her."

Chu Xuanchi showed some resistance, "I obey your command."

Emperor Wenzong's expression faded. "It's rare for you to go out. Now that you're in the palace, go and pay your respects to your grandmother."

Chu Xuanchi took his leave and went to Shoukang Palace. Empress Dowager Yuande was quite surprised to see him.

"Is it really the fifth brother who has come? Did I hear him correctly?" Empress Dowager Yuande was not convenient to leave the palace and seldom saw him. She could only reward him from time to time.

Nanny Gui smiled and replied, "No, it is indeed His Royal Highness who has come to pay his respects to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty does not need to be excited."

Empress Dowager Yuande asked the palace maids to tidy up her appearance, "How can I not be excited? I have only seen him a few times in all these years."

I couldn't see him before because Chu Xuanchi was far away in southern Xinjiang, and it's hard to see him now because his legs and feet are not very convenient. However, we are emotionally distant and can't get close to each other even if we meet.

"Chi'er, Zhaozhao grew up under my care, and he has a really good temper. I hope you two can live in harmony with each other." The Queen Mother wanted to use Mo Zhaohua to get closer to each other.

Chu Xuanchi felt a little resentful because he was young and had no protection. "Since the Royal Grandmother knew that Miss Mo was good, why did she have to watch her be harmed by her grandson for her whole life?"

When Empress Dowager Yuande saw him sitting in a wheelchair, she felt distressed and guilty, "Chi'er is also very good and will not harm Zhaozhao."

Chu Xuanchi smiled bitterly, "If she enters the mansion, she will be a widow. I can't even give her a child. What good is a grandchild?"

Empress Dowager Yuan De could only comfort him, "It will be fine, your injury will heal, and you will have a child, don't be discouraged."

Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Since the Royal Grandmother has such expectations, then your grandson will borrow your good words. Thank you very much, Royal Grandmother."

Empress Dowager Yuande created an opportunity for Mo Zhaohua, "Girls are shy, Chi'er is a man, you should be more proactive in the future."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Chu Xuanchi felt more suspicious when he heard her say the same words as Emperor Wenzong.

Is Mo Zhaohua Chu Xuanhan's pawn or the Queen Mother's pawn?

***

the next morning.

The carriage of Prince Yu's Palace stopped outside the Shangshu Mansion.

In the eyes of Emperor Wenzong, Chu Xuanchi was doing things according to his instructions.

Mo Zhaohua learned that someone from Prince Yu's Mansion had come to pick her up and wanted her to stay for lunch, so she quickly packed her things.

She brought Yueying into the palace and saw the familiar Chu Xuanchi and Wuying, and even her mood became better.

"Brother Xuanchi, how are you feeling recently?" Considering Yueying's identity, Mo Zhaohua did not refuse her.

Chu Xuanchi didn't need to pretend to dislike her in front of his own people, "Very good, does Zhao Zhao care about me every time?"

"Brother Xuan Chi doesn't like it?" Mo Zhaohua wanted to do more than just show concern, she even wanted to take his pulse.

Chu Xuanchi pursed his lips and chuckled, "Someone cares about me so much, I am so happy, how can I not be happy?"

Mo Zhaohua tried her best to act like a little girl, "Brother Xuanchi, do you still remember what we talked about last time?"

Chu Xuanchi almost remembered every word she said, "Did Zhao Zhao really bring me handmade needlework?"

Mo Zhaohua motioned Yueying to present the things, "It seems Zhaozhao is not the only one who is thinking about the agreement."

Chu Xuanchi took it, opened the red cloth covering it and saw that they were actually three navy blue handkerchiefs.

He was a little surprised, as he thought she would embroider purses and sachets, which were tokens of love between girls.

But a handkerchief is fine, as long as it is embroidered by her. As for other things, I believe they will be available in the future.

He looked carefully and saw that the handkerchiefs were of different styles: one was of a pine tree on a cliff, one was of a cypress in the snow, and one was of a pink.

The white snow, brown cliffs, and green pine, cypress, and bamboo are embroidered vividly, with fine and smooth stitches.

He carefully put it away, smiling, "Zhao Zhao's needlework is really good, but why are there only three strips?"

"One is for wiping sweat, one is for wiping blood, and the other one..." Mo Zhaohua said and suddenly stopped looking at him.

Seeing her stop abruptly, Chu Xuanchi asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

Mo Zhaohua's eyes were slightly dim, as if he was worried, "I'll tell Brother Xuan Chi later."
