Chapter 152: Temptation
Dom thanked her and left, just in time to meet Chu Jinrong, who had rushed to Li Qiuchi's room. The two looked at each other for a second, and then looked away in unison.
"What did Dom ask you to do just now?" Chu Jinrong was in the room, picked up the account book on Li Qiuchi's table and looked through it for a while, and asked casually.
Li Qiuchi didn't notice that his tone was wrong, and smiled like a fox, "He, ask me about Fukang's marriage." ”
Chu Jinrong became interested, "Fukang's marriage? ”
He put down the ledger and looked at her intently, and asked with a smile: "Does he really like Fukang?" ”
Li Qiuchi smiled evilly, "I look like it, looking at his nervous little appearance, I guess I really like Fukang." ”
Chu Jinrong couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, his eyes were full of joy, "Okay!" It's really great! He curled his lips in satisfaction, "My family Fukang is so charming, I conquered Dom so quickly." ”
Li Qiuchi coughed dryly, "Don't be so excited...... Have you forgotten, Fukang has a marriage contract now, and she has to find a way to break this marriage contract. ”
Chu Jinrong came back to his senses at this time, he quickly calmed down and tightened his eyebrows, "That is estimated to be difficult, with the character of the two of them, the father and the queen mother, the things agreed upon, unless you have to find a place to convince them, it can't be easily changed." ”
He pondered for a moment and looked at Li Qiuchi, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Li Qiuchi had no choice but to spread his hands, "Now I can only knock on the side of my father and queen mother's views on this marriage, and see if there is a turnaround." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qiuchi entered the palace.
In Kunning Palace, the queen sat at her desk and looked at the concubines and concubines in the harem, her eyebrows were tightly twisted, and she looked like she had a headache.
Li Qiuchi walked up to the queen and blessed slightly, "Please say hello to the queen mother." ”
"Get up." The queen's voice was faint, but it could be heard that her mood was not very good at this time, and after Li Qiuchi got up, she saw that the queen's eyes were full of depression, and she looked at the appearance of several forms of enrichment.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing, the queen's appearance was very similar to a student doing math problems.
The queen heard her chuckle, and for some reason, her sorrow dissipated a lot, and she raised her head, her gaze softened.
"Qiu'er is here? Sit down first, and I'll come when I'm done with these things. ”
Li Qiuchi's eyes flashed with a smile, Lianbu moved lightly to the queen's side and began to grind the ink, her voice was sweet: "It's okay to leave and right Qiu'er, it's better to help the queen mother share her worries." ”
The queen's frowning brows soothed a lot, "You have a heart." She looked at the ledger in front of her and began to worry again.
Li Qiuchi looked over and chuckled: "Queen Mother, why don't Qiu'er come and help you, it just so happens that Qiu'er also has to check the account book in the restaurant on weekdays, so she is more familiar with this." ”
Only then did the queen react, "Yes, you will check." Then it's troublesome Qiu'er. ”
She looked at Li Qiuchi more and more pleasing to the eye.
Li Qiuchi hehehe The queen was also very surprised when she looked at it, she looked at Li Qiuchi and smiled with satisfaction, and secretly thought about it in her heart.
After a while, all the ledgers were checked, and after Li Qiuchi stretched his waist, she was a little furious when she saw the queen's fox-like eyes.
"Queen Mother, what are you doing watching Qiu'er like this?" Li Qiuchi barely pulled a smile. The queen retracted her gaze, smiled at her and said, "It's nothing, you've worked hard." After speaking, she called the maidservant next to her to serve tea and pulled Li Qiuchi to sit down.
"You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing," the queen took a sip of tea with a helpless face after sitting down, "Say, what is the purpose of looking for this palace this time?" ”
Li Qiuchi's eyes flashed, she lowered her head to sip tea, and said casually, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just to talk to my mother and gossip." ”
The queen shook her head with a smile and looked at her with a soft gaze, "Let Bengong guess, what trouble is the restaurant encountering?" ”
Li Qiuchi coughed dryly, "No, the restaurant business is very good." ”
The queen thought for a moment, "Is that not enough money?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Qiuchi thought that she had generously carried two boxes of gold to her before, she couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, you can make a lot of money in the food street alone, and you won't trouble the queen mother for this." ”
"Could it be that you have a bad quarrel with Jinrong?" The queen asked her with a smile.
Li Qiuchi smiled awkwardly, "No ......"
The queen was puzzled now, she thought of something again, and was about to ask her, but Li Qiuchi shook her arm and coquettishly, "Oh, queen mother, don't think about it anymore, Qiu'er is really here to gossip with you this time." ”
She still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Qiuchi with a smile, "Queen Mother, let me help you rub your shoulders, you have been reading this account book before, and you must be very tired." ”
After speaking, she hurriedly went to the queen's back and rubbed her shoulders carefully, not too much strength made the queen feel very comfortable, she also put aside the doubts in her heart, and narrowed her eyes comfortably.
"Queen Mother, if the princess in the palace wants to marry far away, will you agree?" Li Qiuchi suddenly asked.
The queen opened her eyes suddenly, "Which princess?" Why marry far away? ”
Li Qiuchi laughed dryly, "No, no, Qiu'er just said what if." ”
If this came very suddenly, the queen smelled that something was wrong, and when she thought of the recent movement, her heart moved, "Is it Fukang?" ”
By her words, Li Qiuchi twitched the corners of his mouth, "The queen mother is simply too smart." ”
She smiled and asked, "Queen Mother, if it is Fukang......
"No, you can't." The queen didn't want to refuse directly.
Li Qiuchi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Queen Mother, Qiu'er is just making an assumption." ”
Seeing the queen's resolute attitude, Li Qiuchi had a headache, and silently lit a wax for Fukang in his heart.
"Neither can assumptions." The queen frowned, "If she marries far away, she will not be by her side in the palace, she will inevitably be too lonely, and there will be no one around to take care of her." ”
It turned out that it was because I was reluctant to be blessed. Li Qiuchi's eyes flashed.
On the other side, the Temple of Nourishing Hearts.
Ambergris permeated the hall, surrounded by eye-catching bright yellow, and Chu Jinrong sat at the desk, watching Chengshan's twists and turns, and then looked at Chu Junlan who was pretending to sleep on the couch, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.
"Jinrong, you have a heart, and you know that you have to share your father's worries. He is worthy of being the prince of my Great Zhou, and his ability and responsibility are very outstanding. Chu Junlan suddenly spoke, his voice faint.
"......" Chu Jinrong.
He only politely mentioned it, but his father was not polite at all. Thinking of the purpose of coming this time, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Father, this is what a son should do." ”
