Chapter 237: Elopement
The night is as cool as water.
It was already autumn, and after the night was late, I felt the slightest chill coming, Ru Xuan felt a little cold, so she ordered someone to bring a coat over.
"County Lord, it's late at night, you should rest early." The maid Xiangnan put her coat on Ru Xuan and reminded in a low voice.
"It's okay, you go down first." Ru Xuan smiled.
Although she is now the county lord, she is still not used to having so many people around her, especially this maid named Xiang Nan, who is smart and clever, and can often think about her needs before her, which makes her feel a little awkward.
After listening to Ru Xuan's instructions, Xiang Nan turned on the candle on the table a little, and then quietly retreated.
Ru Xuan held her chin in one hand and lazily flipped through the scrolls on the table with the other.
It's just that, looking at it, her eyes are a little confused.
It's late at night, and I don't know if Shiqi has fallen asleep at this time.
Today's brother's attitude towards him can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and in the afternoon, he heard people from below talk about the fact that King Zhong was turned away.
It's really not easy to do.
recognizing an older brother, but having to see the loss of a fiancΓ©, is really a headache.
Thinking of this, Ru Xuan let out a long sigh leisurely.
"Alas~"
This sigh is tactful and long, and it seems to carry an infinite sense of grievance, which is unbearable to hear.
"Good and decent, why sigh, but what is not going well?" The familiar voice came to mind in Ru Xuan's ears.
Is it the world?
Ru Xuan was excited and wanted to get up from the stool. But because of the excitement, one of them did not stand firmly, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Be careful!" The familiar voice came to mind again. At the same time, a pair of powerful big hands grabbed Ru Xuan's shoulders and helped her up.
Ru Xuan fixed her eyes and saw that it was Shiqi, her face was suddenly filled with a warm smile, and after sitting down, she asked, "Why are you here?" β
"I missed you, so I came to see you." King Chung had the same soft smile on his face. Holding Ru Xuan's palm, he said.
"No, I'm asking you, how did you get in?" Ru Xuan then asked.
"Wow. From there. King Zhong raised his hand and pointed to the large half-open window in Ru Xuan's room.
Ru Xuan's face suddenly turned red.
sneaked into the woman's boudoir at night, and Shiqi was really nonsense.
"This is also King Zheng's Mansion, and you are not afraid of others finding out when you come in?" Ru Xuan said angrily with a red face.
"As long as the king wants to go, there is no one who cannot go or cannot go." King Chung said with a smile.
It's just that this smile has a little more cunning on it.
Ru Xuan reached out and tapped on the tip of King Zhong's nose. smiled: "If it is discovered by my brother." I'm afraid the two of you are going to have an argument again. But then again, my brother doesn't seem to agree with the marriage between you and me, and I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle. β
King Chung's face was a little gloomy.
It's not just that it's not easy to do, it's very difficult to do.
"Today, I entered the palace and asked the emperor to marry us." King Chung said slowly.
"The result? Has the emperor ever agreed? Ru Xuan asked nervously.
If a holy decree comes down, even his brother, who is dissatisfied with the royal family and regards the Zhao family as an enemy, may not be easy to refuse.
"This matter. The emperor did not agree, but he did not say for sure. It's just that this is not the right time, and it will take time. King Chung then said, "However, although you can rest assured, the emperor still loves my brother very much, and he will definitely agree to it at that time." β
Ru Xuan was silent for a moment.
This so-called anachronism is just an excuse, and the time can be long or short, if it drags on for ten or eight years, then how can it be good?
In the final analysis, in the emperor's heart, he still can't get over that hurdle.
"If the emperor does not allow you and me to marry, then what should I do?" Ru Xuan asked in a muffled voice.
King Zhong's face suddenly turned stunned.
To be honest, he doesn't know what to do if the emperor doesn't allow it at that time.
After a while, King Zhong raised his head, his eyes flashed like stars, stretched out his hand to hold Ru Xuan's face, looked at her seriously, and said, "Why don't we elope?" β
Ru Xuan was stunned for a moment, then hooked her lips and smiled, and replied cheerfully: "Okay." β
King Zhong's uneasy feelings suddenly stabilized, and looking at Ru Xuan's eyes, there was a little more tenderness, and moreover, more joy.
He knew that Ru Xuan would answer like this.
Just know!
However, this can only be said, but not really done.
If he eloped, it was not justified, there was no name to speak of, and there was no blessing from relatives and friends, and such a marriage was not what he wanted.
What he wants is to marry Ru Xuan in a beautiful way, so that she can enjoy the words of envy and blessing of everyone.
He will proclaim to the world that all people will know who his princess is.
King Zhong reached out and touched the hair on Ru Xuan's forehead, and said with a light smile: "Don't worry, I won't take you away." β
"Because, I want to use eight sedan chairs, and the Ming media is marrying to welcome you through the door." After a pause, King Chung continued.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ru Xuan said with a smile, her two eyes bent into two small crescents.
In a word, I am waiting for you, which contains too much trust and expectation.
Ru Xuan, rest assured, this king will not disappoint you.
King Zhong stretched out his hand and pinched Ru Xuan's small straight nose lovingly.
"Shiqi, I'm sorry, if it weren't for the fact that I recognized this brother, maybe you wouldn't have so much trouble, but I only have such a flesh-and-blood relative as my brother, so please forgive me." Ru Xuan crouched in King Zhong's arms and whispered.
"It's not your fault, flesh and blood can't be erased in any way, if it were because I separated your brother and sister, then I would be a sinner." King Chung comforted.
King Zhong lost his mother since he was a child, and was raised by the current queen mother since he was a child.
Therefore, for King Zhong, brotherly love and parental love are extremely rare and the most precious treasures in the world.
Therefore, he didn't want Ru Xuan to lose such a fortune, and he didn't want to make himself a villain.
Ru Xuan smiled contentedly.
The man she picked was really right, everything was for her sake.
After a few small talks, King Chung decided to leave.
It's late at night, and if it's too late, you might run into unrelated people.
King Zheng's Mansion is not as good as Zhongwang's Mansion, there are many people here, and there are probably many people in the court who look at the emperor's eyes and wait to take King Zheng's shortcomings. (To be continued......)
