Chapter 50: The Contest
returned to Anfu, and when they arrived at the second gate, Lu Shi took An Qing to greet him.
Since yesterday's incident in Cuishan Nunnery, An Qing pretended to be sick when he came back. At night, I asked for a doctor and asked for medicine, and I had a good toss.
Lu Shi naturally didn't close his eyes all night, and in the morning, he didn't even invite An.
At this time, the mother and daughter must have come to their senses, and arrived at the second gate as early as possible to wait for Cui Laotaijun's car.
As soon as he saw the car stop, Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain himself, waiting for Mrs. Cui to get out of the car, and smiled in her mouth, "The old lady has worked hard this day!" ”
Mrs. Cui's face was not very good, and she snorted from her nostrils, which was considered to be in response.
An Qing came up a little listlessly to salute, and when she saw Luo Jinxin, she didn't even look at her.
Jinxin didn't care, just followed Mrs. Cui inside.
This home, in fact, has no warmth for her, whether to go or not, only in herself.
When he arrived at the road, Mrs. Cui suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at Jinxin coldly, and said, "Go back, you don't have to follow me!" ”
It means that I don't want to see her.
Jinxin saluted silently and went to Jinluo Pavilion.
was walking slowly, suddenly heard footsteps behind him, this footstep is not like An Yan's footsteps, Jinxin knows who it is, and he doesn't stop, just walk forward.
"Hey, stop me!"
An Qing was really anxious, panting and catching up, stopping in front of Jinxin.
"I told you to stop, you can't hear? Deaf? An Qing counted her down unceremoniously, and that tone seemed to treat a subordinate.
Jinxin glanced at her calmly, and suddenly smiled, "Cousin, are you talking to me?" ”
An Qing was annoyed, at this time, she still dared to use such a tone?
"Who else can I talk to if I don't talk to you? Who else could there be but you on this road? An Qing shouted angrily, not feeling that the person in front of him was his cousin.
Jin Xin's body stood straight, his face was unwavering, but he was silent for a moment, and said, "I think you are mistaken." If you want to be above me, it's not your turn, right? ”
It's true that she is living in Anjia, but she does not eat and drink in vain or even live in Anjia in vain. Anqing: What is this for?
She couldn't weigh it herself, and she didn't mind reminding her.
"You ......" An Qing, who was deflated, was very annoyed, and couldn't help but scold.
"Luo Jinxin, do you think you will have a face after a trip to the East Palace? Sue you, the prince doesn't like you and you still say it, even if you do? It is impossible for the prince to make you a side concubine, at most he will give you the title of a concubine, so what? ”
An Qing knew Cui Lao Taijun's intention to take her to the East Palace today?
Sure enough, everyone in this house knew.
Jinxin hooked her lips coldly, and let out a stunning sneer, "Cousin is yelling at me here, how can you conclude that I will be a concubine?" Aren't you afraid that I will really enter the East Palace? ”
"Huh, with you? What if you enter the East Palace, it's not the material to be stepped on? An Qing clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking like his eyes were above the top.
"You are a person who reckons your father and mother, and you are called a 'poisonous girl' outside, how dare the prince let you enter the East Palace? That is, my grandmother is old and confused, so she delusionally wants you to climb this high branch. ”
An Qing's words were convincing, as if he had seen the bleak end of Jinxin's future.
Jinxin is still not impatient, not angry or angry. An Qing is like a personal child in front of her, and she doesn't want others to get what she can't get.
In her previous life, she died so miserably, in this life, what else can shock her?
Pursing his rosy lips, Jinxin put down the sentence lukewarmly, "Say whatever you want, let's see!" ”
Whether the prince likes her or not, whether her grandmother will send her to the East Palace to dedicate to the prince, this must be agreed by her, right?
She's not happy, others don't want to force her!
Relive her life, her fate will not be decided by others.
An Qing had the feeling of hitting his fist on the cotton, and watched Jinxin Shi Shi Ran leave, but there was nowhere to roar out the words in his stomach.
In fact, she knew that she was just bluffing.
A few days ago, it was King Heng Shizi and Jinxin who were talking and laughing in one place, grilling fish in the temple to eat.
This time, it was the prince who had a heart for Jinxin, although it was just his grandmother who rushed to the East Palace with Jinxin, but she knew that the prince personally accompanied them to visit the garden for a long time.
If her grandmother takes her there, it is estimated that the prince will not even see her!
Jealousy had burned her eyes red, making her only think about spilling her anger on Jinxin's body. It seems that as long as Jinxin bows her head to her and softens, the prince and the prince of Heng can look up to her!
Watching the slender back go farther and farther, An Qing was uneasy after all, so he had to stomp his foot hatefully and leave on his own.
When the undercurrent in Anfu was turbulent, a battle was also being launched in the Jinlou outside!
The crown prince Xiao Yu made an appointment with Lin Jue, the prince of King Heng, to drink tea in the Jinlou.
The brocade building is a teahouse in Beijing that the dignitaries and nobles often appreciate, the tea in it is bright, and the water used is pulled back from the Yuquan Mountain outside the city, the taste is sweet and refreshing, and the aftertaste is endless.
It's just that distinguished guests like the prince and the prince of Hengwang are still unmet in the brocade building for thousands of years.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yu and Lin Jue entered the building, the shopkeeper of the Jinlou hurriedly asked the guy to clean up the entire building and treat these two distinguished guests directly.
Xiao Yu asked for a private room on the second floor and sat face-to-face with Lin Jue. The shopkeeper personally soaked a pot of Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty, and brought a few delicate snacks unique to the brocade building, respectfully served them on a tray, and sent them to the private room.
Xiao Yu saw that he put down the tray and didn't allow him to say more, so he ordered the eunuch who came with him to give a reward.
After all, he is the prince of a country, and his shot is extraordinary.
The shopkeeper only heard a muffled sound, and when he looked up, there was already a 50 taels of ingots in the tray.
He was so pleased that a huge smile bloomed on his white face, "Little Thank You for Your Highness's reward!" ”
Xiao Yu waved his hand to stop his next nagging and ordered him to retreat.
Even the eunuchs they had brought with them were told to wait outside.
In the private room, there are only two left, Xiao Yu and Lin Jue.
Lin Jue was dressed in a blue-colored homely robe, with high black hair and handsome eyebrows, as if he was a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.
The prince, who was also handsome and extraordinary, was so lined by him, and suddenly became less conspicuous.
Lin Jue stretched out his slender hand to hold the pot, poured a cup for the prince first, and poured himself another cup.
He was not in a hurry to drink, he first picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup and put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, before he half-closed his eyes and said, "It's really good tea!" ”
"If it weren't for the good tea, this palace wouldn't have moved you!" Xiao Yu smiled and took a sip of the teacup.
"Your Highness invited me to come just for tea, right?" Lin Jue didn't beat around the bush to try it, just asked frankly.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Yutang is really smart, I can't hide anything from you in this palace!" ”
Yutang is Lin Jue's word!
Lin Jue listened to the prince's seemingly complimentary words, but the corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing a casual smile, "Your Highness has won the award, I just guess." ”
It's just that a smile on the corner of his mouth made Xiao Yu unable to take his eyes off it, and said secretly: This is really a character, if it is a woman, what kind of beauty may it become? I'm afraid that only Miss Luo can compete with him in this world?
He unconsciously thought of Jinxin, and the corners of his mouth showed an unfathomable smile.
"Have you heard that Shuntian Mansion Yin's brother-in-law is dead?" Xiao Yu didn't hide it, and asked himself.
While he asked this, he also carefully paid attention to the expression on Lin Jue's face.
It's a pity that Lin Jue didn't even frown, took a sip of tea as usual, and waited for the following.
