"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it..." Ji Jie, who had been silently watching the show, suddenly spoke up.

"Please speak freely, Lord Ji." The Empress was in a very good mood at the moment.

Ji Jie replied, "From what I've seen today, Chu Qingluo is indeed a rare talent. Besides the reward, we should give her more room to develop her abilities."

When the Empress arrived at Yongle Palace, she noticed that the platform for this year's grand ceremony was quite different from usual. She summoned Ji Jie and asked her what its purpose was. At the time, Ji Jie didn't know the platform's function and pretended to keep it a secret. It wasn't until she saw the gifts presented by the Clothing Pavilion that she suddenly understood.

"What does Lord Ji think we should do?" The Empress has always valued the cultivation of talent and is happy to give young women opportunities.

"In my opinion, she should be promoted."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound all around; some people nodded, and some shook their heads.

She paused, then said, "Guangrentang has always been busy and complicated. If we could have someone like Chu Qingluo to help us, it would surely inject some fresh blood into the inner palace."

Ji Jie didn't mince words; it was clear she wanted to poach him!

Chu Qingluo had been in the court for less than three months, and had just rendered meritorious service to the Clothing Pavilion when someone tried to steal her away. Seventh Aunt looked at Li Ziyou with displeasure, but found that her expression was unusually calm, as if she had already known what was going on.

Chu Qingluo's heart skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth, thinking, "No! Li Ziyou, quick! Hold me tight!!" Working under someone like Ji Jie would suffocate her! Going to Guangrentang would only mean a higher salary, but wouldn't everyone still be a lowly fry?! Rather than that, she'd rather have less money and follow a reasonable leader!

"This suggestion is good, but we should also ask Lord Li for her opinion and see if she is willing to reluctantly give it up?" The Empress ignored the discussions below the stage and asked Li Ziyou for her opinion, after all, Chu Qingluo had just made a name for herself in terms of clothing.

"It is Chu Qingluo's honor to have won Lord Ji's favor, and I have no objection." When she said this, Li Ziyou did not even glance at Chu Qingluo, so she naturally could not see her panic and her face turning ashen.

"Very well! Since Lord Li is so generous, Chu Qingluo shall be promoted to Guangrentang immediately." As soon as the Empress finished speaking, Chu Qingluo felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her!

Seeing that Chu Qingluo was now stunned, Shaoyao had to pretend to cough twice to remind her to express her gratitude.

She then regained consciousness and reluctantly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your boundless kindness, Your Majesty..."

Li Ziyou actually watched her, a genius designer, become an office assistant?! That's such a disregard for talent!! My heart sank more than a little!

Unexpectedly, the master whose son had entered the palace was not only famous for his beauty in Yancheng, but also became famous overnight in the palace... I wonder if this popularity is a blessing or a curse? A meaningful look flashed across Gongsun Ruyi's face.

Leaving Yongle Hall and walking along the pebbled path in the Imperial Garden, Chu Qingluo's mind was still blank. How did a perfectly good gift-giving ceremony turn into such a huge pitfall? ...And the worst part was that she dug it herself, and in the process, pushed herself down in the process...

"Hey—!!" A dark figure suddenly darted out of the bushes, almost scaring Chu Qingluo, who was in a daze, into having a mental breakdown!

"You scared me to death!!!" It's so dark and windy, you can't play like this! Peony next to her was also so frightened that she jumped back a meter!

The dark figure cleared his throat, feigning seriousness: "Chu Qingluo, I didn't mean to scare you." He paused, then said arrogantly, "I just wanted to tell you that I've taken a liking to you, and you're mine from now on!" With that, he disappeared into the bushes again.

...What the hell is this?! A brat's confession?! Chu Qingluo's lips twitched slightly. What's wrong with everyone here? Have they lost their minds...?

"Qingluo, was that the Ninth Prince?" Because it was too dark, Shaoyao wasn't sure.

"Hmm." Chu Qingluo looked like she was about to die.

Peony couldn't help but laugh, "I've never seen such a confession before, it's really interesting!" Seeing Chu Qingluo's unpleasant expression, she continued, "He's only twelve years old, the age when his heart is just beginning to open to love, so just let him be." After saying that, she still couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Qingluo sighed heavily. What else could she do? She could only spank him while scolding him, "How dare you flirt with this auntie at such a young age?!"

If He Yun knew that she had been confessed to by a twelve-year-old boy, she would laugh for three nights straight, and probably she and Momo would go around telling everyone through a megaphone: "A nearly thirty-year-old single woman is seducing a twelve-year-old minor..."

Just imagining it sent chills down her spine!
