The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Chapter 67: The ruthless official x the delicate princess (25)

The procession of carriages was very long and stopped in front of the palace gate in a grand manner.

The leading carriage was naturally Emperor Kang's, followed by the Empress, Concubine Xian, the Crown Prince and others, and then the important officials in the court, the first of which was Cen Jinchao, the current Prime Minister.

Cen Jinchao's carriage was larger than those of the Queen and her companions, and was second only to Emperor Kangdi in the entire convoy.

The black and gold carriage was low-key and luxurious. From some angles, it seemed even more imposing than the one owned by Conti.

Cen Jinchao is a powerful official in the true sense. Even though he is so powerful now, Emperor Kang still cannot express his dissatisfaction clearly, and even has to look back with a smile on his face.

A corner of the black curtain was lifted by a servant, and the eyes of most people present unconsciously shifted over there.

A man in black leaned out of the car, his eyes indifferent and sharp, his shoulders broad and straight, and his whole body was like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Prime Minister Cen..." someone called out.

But before that person could finish his words, Cen Jinzhao suddenly turned around, bent down slightly, and reached inside.

A soft, white little hand rested on his sleeve.

The contrast between black and white is extremely obvious.

"Your Highness, please be careful." The man's voice was low and gentle, which was incredible.

Several ministers who thought they knew Cen Jinzhao well looked at each other in astonishment, and Emperor Kang also seemed to frown slightly.

Chi Chu came out of the carriage. She was wearing a goose yellow dress. When she raised her eyes, she seemed to have a gentle smile on her face.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Cen." After getting off the car, Chi Chu politely took a step back, straightened her dress, then took a few steps forward and saluted towards Emperor Kang.

"Meet the Emperor and the Empress."

"No gift."

Kangdi seemed to want to ask something, but he saw Cen Jinzhao standing behind Chi Chu.

The other person looked indifferent, but his eyes were always on Chi Chu.

Nothing more...

Isn't this exactly what I want to see?

Although Cen Jinzhao actually showed signs of being tempted, as long as the object of his affection was his own daughter, he was still under control.

So Kangdi pretended not to see this and said nothing.

The emperor did not express his opinion. The others opened their mouths, but did not know what to say... Say that they did not pay attention to the impact? Single men and women should not be alone in a car?

Although this is true, there is no benefit in saying it.

It will also offend Cen Jinzhao, which is a thankless task.

So everyone just looked at each other, greeted each other, and walked into the palace.

After such a tiring journey, no one was in the mood for a banquet. They just gathered together for a quick meal and then returned to their designated bedrooms in the palace.

At the back of the team, Tang Qingyuan vaguely felt that he was being snubbed by the Crown Prince and the Emperor because of his recent performance.

She was walking with many noble ladies. When she looked up and saw Chi Chu and the figure beside her, Tang Qingyuan bit her lower lip slightly.

She subconsciously looked up at the prince.

But the prince did not respond to her, and did not even pay attention to what was happening on Chi Chu's side.

There is definitely something wrong with this.

Tang Qingyuan's expression changed. After returning to her residence, she couldn't help but stand up again. She subconsciously wanted to walk towards the prince, but hesitated for a while...

Tang Qingyuan finally walked in another direction.

The weather on the second day was very good, it was a clear and crisp autumn day, very suitable for them to go out hunting.

Kangdi was obviously in a good mood. In the past, princesses and young ladies rarely took the stage on such occasions. However, today, Kangdi looked at the huge group of people, waved his hand, and asked them to change into riding clothes and go on stage to experience it no matter what.

Chi Chu was wearing a silver-white riding suit and sitting on a small maroon horse. He did not look as weak as usual, but rather had a somewhat awe-inspiring aura.

The girl seemed to be glowing under the sunlight.

Although Cen Jinzhao was at the front of the team, he couldn't help but look back at Chi Chu.

Seeing the little girl smiling softly at him, Cen Jinzhao turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly.

This scene once again caught the eyes of many people, and everyone had different expressions.

"Humph, isn't it because you are relying on Prime Minister Cen's love that you are so arrogant?"

Ning Yingyue was standing diagonally behind Chi Chu at this time. Although her clothes were much more exquisite and eye-catching than Chi Chu's, she was a little bit inferior in terms of temperament.

She looked up at Chi Chu and muttered in a low voice with some jealousy.

But there was inevitably some fear in his tone.

The jealousy came from Chi Chu's recent changes... Just a month ago, Chi Chu was still a poor little thing who was bullied by her, but now he has become the center of everyone's attention.

She had originally thought that she would have a good life if she married someone like Cen Jinzhao, but what happened during this period made Ning Yingyue feel sour.

What right does Ning Chichu have?

But despite such hatred, he still had some concerns and fears in his heart and was somewhat hesitant to provoke Chi Chu.

After all, the consequences of these incidents were not very good - whether it was the haunted incident or the last painting incident... they all made her lose face.

And she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Ning Chichu.

There's something indescribably weird about this guy.

So this time Ning Yingyue learned her lesson and did not rush to confront Chi Chu directly. Instead, after the crowd dispersed, she followed Chi Chu with a group of young sisters.

Chi Chu was riding a horse alone in the woods.

This place is close to the palace and has been cleaned several times before.

Apart from the prey released inside, there is almost no danger at all.

The original owner's personality was relatively low-key and introverted, and her identity was often easily overlooked, so she never had many good friends in Beijing. After Chi Chu came, she also did not attend many banquets, and at this time she still maintained the style of acting alone.

The forest was very quiet, with only the sound of wind blowing through leaves and the sound of horse hooves.

At this moment, the bushes in front of Chi Chu suddenly moved slightly, and a hare jumped out from it.

Chi Chu pulled the reins slightly and stopped on the road, then reached behind him and took out the bow and arrow.

"Shh-"

The hare was unaware of the impending danger and was still standing in the middle of the road looking around. At this moment, a long feather arrow broke through the air and accurately shot into the hare's thigh!

Just when Chi Chu was about to dismount and pick up the hare, a similar feather arrow suddenly flew towards her from behind!

The distance was so close that it lifted up her hair at the temples.

"Boom-"

However, the arrow did not hit the rabbit that fell to the ground.

Instead, it hit the branch next to it.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Ning Yingyue's voice came from behind Chi Chu. She and a group of noble ladies were sitting on tall horses, looking down at her.
