Inexplicably chosen to become the companion of the Eldest Prince, Su Yaoqi walked out of the Qianqing Palace with a blank mind. He turned to Empress Su and asked her, "Aunt, why did the Eldest Prince choose me?"
Empress Su smiled and explained to the young man, "Because you are outstanding enough."
Outstanding enough?
Is it just because his surname is Su?
Su Yaoqi didn't quite understand the intrigues within the palace, but he could vaguely smell the scent of scheming and plotting.
Returning to the Duke Mansion, his father immediately pulled him aside for questioning, "Did you see the Emperor?"
"I did."
"What about the Eldest Prince?"
"I saw him too."
Seeing his son in low spirits, Lord narrowed his eyes, "Did you get hit by frost or something?"
Su Yaoqi thought for a moment and looked up at his father, "Didn't you always not want me to get involved in family matters?"
Lord widened his eyes, "When did I ever let you get involved?"
