172 Late Gifts

The matter of Zhu Mingyu's meritorious service in the Xishan Palace also spread in the capital, and suddenly her entertainment increased, although she had pushed a lot, but she still had a bit of a headache.

If it was only the invitation of the young ladies, it would be good to say, Zhu Mingyu had the right to refuse after all, but Qin Guifei suddenly became close to Zhu Mingyu, and asked her to enter the palace to accompany her, which was impossible to refuse.

Every time he entered the palace, he had to dress up, and Zhu Mingyu felt that it was really troublesome, so he simply pretended to be sick and didn't go out at home.

However, in this way, there were many people who came to visit the patient, and Qin Guifei naturally sent things over. In the end, even Cheng Shuang heard about Zhu Mingyu's illness and came to visit her.

Facing Cheng Shuang, naturally there was no need to pretend, Zhu Mingyu said his hardships, the two were chatting, Yunxue came, Kong Jiayi was with her, and even Zhu Mingxiu was with them.

Yun Xue knew that Zhu Mingyu must be pretending to be sick, and since she could see Cheng Shuang, she would definitely be able to see others, so she hurriedly notified Kong Jiayi, who was rejected by Zhu Mingyu a few days ago, to come over, and caught up with Zhu Mingxiu to find Kong Jiayi, and when she heard the news, she also followed.

Zhu Chengye has been in the capital for a few days, but Zhu Mingxiu has not shown up. I have to say that although I haven't seen her for a while, Zhu Mingxiu is still very beautiful. Even Yunxue couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart after seeing Zhu Mingxiu, every good thing in the Zhu family looks so bewitching and charming.

"Mingyu, your sisters have come to see you." Yun Xue took the person to the door and said goodbye and went back.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Mingxiu quietly squeezed Cheng Shuang aside. Holding Zhu Mingyu's hand, he wiped his tears and said, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" I haven't seen you for a long time. How did you become like this? ”

In order to pretend to be sick, Zhu Mingyu deliberately smeared powder on his face to make himself look sallow, as if he was sick.

But Zhu Mingxiu's tears inevitably fell too fast, and he could even act better than himself.

Zhu Mingyu pretended to cough weakly twice, and said, "It turns out that the second sister also came with me, and I didn't see you that day." I thought you were still in your hometown in Fancheng. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Mingxiu's face stiffened, she had asked Wei if she was Zhu Chengye's daughter. However, Webster swore that she had never done anything to be sorry for Zhu Chengkang, which made Zhu Mingxiu not know who to believe. In any case, nominally she is just Zhu Chengye's niece. It is indeed a bit unjustifiable to come to Beijing with you.

Zhu Mingxiu explained: "I heard that the Four Seasons Academy in the capital is very famous. My grandmother wanted Mingyan to come with her in the hope of entering the academy to study, but Mingyan was still young after all, so she asked me to come and take care of him. ”

Zhu Mingyu said: "I see, I don't know how long the second sister will stay, I can't take you around recently, but Jiayi is free, you can find her." ”

Kong Jiayi, who was ordered, responded happily and said, "I told my second cousin about this before I came." But she won't be going back anytime soon, so let's go out together when my eldest cousin recovers. ”

Unexpectedly, Kong Jiayi and Zhu Mingxiu got back together. Zhu Mingyu said: "That's good." ”

Cheng Shuang saw a few people surrounding Zhu Mingyu, stepped forward and said, "Mingyu still needs to recuperate, if you have nothing to do, go out with me." ”

When she arrived in the capital, Zhu Mingxiu felt that Cheng Shuang, the young lady of the Cheng family, was not enough, but it was not easy to refute her, so she said a few words to Zhu Mingyu and left together.

Before a few people left, Qin Keji came in from outside, he only entered Beijing today, and he came over when he heard that Zhu Mingyu was sick.

"Why are you sick?"

Seeing Qin Keji, several girls had different expressions, Cheng Shuang was a little surprised, why did Qin Keji break in like this, Zhu Mingxiu seemed to have found it, his eyes swept back and forth on Qin Keji and Zhu Mingyu's faces, Kong Jiayi clenched her hands in her sleeves, although she wanted to bow her head to hide the jealousy in her eyes, but she was reluctant to see Qin Keji.

This time, Zhu Mingyu really had a headache, why did he come back?

Cheng Shuang didn't say anything, and was about to go out, but seeing that Zhu Mingxiu and Kong Jiayi didn't move, he greeted the two of them. Zhu Mingxiu wanted to stay to verify his guess, but Kong Jiayi just didn't want to leave like this, leaving Qin Keji and Zhu Mingyu together.

Qin Keji looked at Zhu Mingxiu and Kong Jiayi, who were standing and didn't leave, and said, "What, do you want to stay and eat?" ”

When he said this, Zhu Mingxiu moved, but Kong Jiayi still stood for a while before leaving.

When they left, Qin Keji reached out and wiped Zhu Mingyu's face, saw the color of his hand, and snorted: "I know that you are pretending to be sick, but the technique is too clumsy." ”

Zhu Mingyu glanced at him and said, "Do you know what you're still doing?" ”

In fact, Qin Keji only found out after seeing Zhu Mingyu, and he really didn't know before, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry, but according to his temper, he naturally wouldn't explain this matter to Zhu Mingyu, so he said: "Is there any food, I'm hungry." ”

Although she said this, seeing that Qin Keji seemed to have lost some weight when she went out this time, of course she wouldn't really bear to drive him away, so she asked the maid to prepare a meal and serve it.

It was not yet noon, Zhu Mingyu naturally didn't eat with him, Qin Keji asked while eating, "Why didn't you reply to me?" ”

Indeed, Qin Keji wrote several letters to Zhu Mingyu, although she replied to not every one of them after reading them, she also replied, but listening to Qin Keji's meaning, the letter didn't seem to have been received, so she didn't think that Yun Chuhai must have stopped it.

Zhu Mingyu said: "It's not that you won't come back, you can come back and say something if you have something to say." ”

Qin Keji was still very satisfied with this answer, and said, "Mingcan asked me to bring back some things, and I'll send them to you when I get back." ”

"Well, thank you."

Qin Keji finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and stretched out a hand to face Zhu Mingyu.

Zhu Mingyu raised his eyebrows, is this asking for a gift from himself? He remembered that well. But I wanted to tease him, so I said, "What are you doing?" ”

Qin Keji saw that Zhu Mingyu was at a loss, a little disappointed, she really didn't care about herself.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Mingyu surrendered, this face was too lethal, so he hurriedly said, "Tease you." After speaking, she went into the house and took out a scroll and handed it to Qin Keji, in fact, she prepared it, he didn't have time to give him a gift on his birthday that day, this time it can be regarded as making up.

"For me?" Qin Keji didn't believe it anymore.

"It's not." Zhu Mingyu said that he wanted to get it back.

Qin Keji snatched it over first, and said, "If it's not for me, you won't be able to take it back." ”

When he opened it, Qin Keji was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhu Mingyu leaned over and looked at it, and said, "Is my painting so bad?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Keji looked up at Zhu Mingyu from the painting and said, "You painted it?" (To be continued.) )
