"Well..." Xiao Ciyu lowered her eyes and responded softly.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke softly and carefully said the specific situation at that time: "During the talent show, I was indeed instructing my senior sister to let you enter the palace."

"Why?" Chen Lanxi was puzzled.

Facing her doubts, he did not hesitate, pursed his lips and chose a suitable statement: "Because I remembered you for some reason before, so when I learned that you were going to enter the palace for a draft, I left you directly."

"Remember the concubine?" Chen Lanxi raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes around Xiao Ciyu. "Your Majesty's meaning should not be remembering the person, but remembering the mistakes of the concubine in his heart, right?"

She knew that she had no extraordinary talent and good reputation, and she also understood that the emperor who was used to seeing all kinds of women would not fall on her for no reason.

Therefore, he may not be very interested in her person.

Coupled with his own personality, the look he looked at her when he first met them...

Chen Lanxi felt that he must have been revenge.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Xiao Ciyu's expression changed.

His eyes flashed slightly, obviously guilty. But under the urge of unwillingness, he couldn't help but argue with her in a low voice: "That can't be considered a mistake, and I do remember you!"

She was fighting for herself at that time, and she should be called bravery. How could she be called wrong?

Furthermore, he really remembers her deeply.

He still remembers the slap on Qingyun Street clearly!

She's so fierce...

Feeling that Xiao Ciyu's gaze suddenly changed again when he looked at her, Chen Lanxi couldn't help but feel infinitely puzzled - she sat here without saying a word, where did his pitiful and aggrieved mood come from?!

"Your Majesty, can we speak well?" Chen Lanxi sighed lightly, only to feel very tired.

She was obviously here to question him, but in the end, she was beaten to the "evil" side and became a bad guy...

If it were just this, that would be fine.

But now, Xiao Ciyu doesn’t have any understanding of his expression.

He didn't understand why Chen Lanxi was criticizing him. Faced with her strange expression, he could only reach out to peel a grape for her and feed it to her to show his sincerity.

Chen Lanxi: “…”

Looking at the fingertips dotted with coral red, gently twisting a grape to her lips and serving her to eat it, she just felt... she looked like a "crazy lord"!

It's so sinful to let such a beauty feed grapes to herself...

Shaking his head and throwing out the extra thoughts in his mind, she quickly continued to talk to him about the serious matter: "Since Your Majesty said he remembered the concubine at that time, then I want to ask, what did you remember the concubine? Is it because of King Cheng Nan's marriage?"

"It's almost the same..." Xiao Ciyu responded casually and sent another grape to her mouth.

Seeing that she was holding grapes in her mouth, he slowly explained: "Actually, I only knew that the Shen family and Prince Cheng Nan's mansion had an engagement, and Prince Cheng Nan was not very happy, so I didn't care too much. Until later, in the teahouse on Qingyun Street..."

He carefully retelled the details of the time, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Lanxi deeply: "Your slap is quite powerful, it's hard not to remember it."

"Then..." Chen Lanxi pulled the corners of her mouth, and her expression stiffened for a moment. After a moment of pause, she found a reason for herself: "That's just self-defense!"
