Chapter 1004 It’s Still Too Late to Pretend to Be Cute 31

And not only did he indulge in these two things, Su Yu became familiar with him in the princess's mansion.

For the past year or so, I have been running around all day long, not knowing what to do.

Chu Ci caught him twice. After knowing that he was developing his shops and there was no danger, he ignored him.

Let him do whatever he wants out there.

At this moment, Su Yu's love value has risen to 47. He is already sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and he is growing taller quickly.

Soon he passed the eighteen-year-old Chu Ci.

Chu Ci was dissatisfied with this for a while.

In the past two years, the Beiji Emperor's health has become worse and worse, and his temper has become more and more violent.

The emperor of Beiji only had the only prince born by the queen, and the other concubines were either childless or had daughters.

So of course, the only son born to the queen is the heir of Beiji. However, the queen only has such a child, so she is inevitably spoiled.

In addition, the emperor actually didn't like the queen very much, and he had no intention of making the queen's natal family stronger again, especially since the Liu family, the queen's natal family, was best at forming gangs.

For example, the Cheng family of the previous Ministry of Rites, and some of the more important ministers in the court, most of them saw that the queen had a son after the harem, so they couldn't help but rush to fawn over them.

This made the Emperor feel extremely threatened.

But he didn't have any other sons, and it was impossible for him to pass the throne to outsiders. Although he was much more violent now, he could still see the somewhat arrogant and extravagant aura of his only child.

He has the aura of a playboy all over his body. If he hadn't been born in the royal family, he wouldn't have been a child that could be seen at all.

Therefore, Su Yu, who had been rumored well in the court and among the people recently, made him feel a deep fear.

Even if the eldest prince Su Jiang is a waste, he can't pass the throne to anyone else. What's more, Su Yu is the son of the brother he hates more and more. Like his father, he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Knowing it upset him.

And the concubines in the harem were all the emperor's bedfellows, so they naturally knew that the emperor's health was deteriorating day by day.

Especially Concubine Lan, the emperor repeatedly mentioned to her the Prince Xiao who was currently living in the princess's mansion. Even if she is not a very sensitive person, it would be okay for the emperor to mention her like this several times. Can't help but have doubts.

I mentioned it to Chu Ci several times when Chu Ci entered the palace.

Chu Ci took it to heart and didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Ci is eighteen years old this year. According to the marriage age of women in the Beiji Dynasty, Chu Ci is already a bit old and it is difficult to find a good husband.

Because Chu Ci had previously said that Su Yu would be her adopted husband, the ladies in the palace put their anxious thoughts aside.

It's just that we have already reached this time, and then think about what Sheng He reported about the daily communication between Chu Ci and Su Yu.

Especially when I heard that Su Yu was getting busier and busier this year, and had stayed away from the princess' mansion several times all night. It was said that he was running something outside, but no one knew the details.

This matter makes Concubine Lan a little worried. In addition, this year's national imperial examination means that her parents' children of school age will also come to Beijing.
