At this time, it was almost noon time to go to the yamen, Zhao Ruxi did not return to the yamen, and went directly to the main courtyard Zhu to eat after arriving home.

The Zhu family originally planned to stay with their daughter for a while and then return to Gusu, but after Kang Shilin and the others left, Zhao Ruxi persuaded her to go over. Zhu couldn't rest assured that his daughter was not leaving, and he didn't leave for a long time.

In her opinion, even if Zhao Ruxi has the ability and means to gain a firm foothold in the yamen, she is still an unmarried young and beautiful woman.

If someone has dirty thoughts and runs over to climb the wall in the middle of the night, even if they are caught outside the wall, it will affect Zhao Ruxi's reputation.

And here she is of a completely different nature. Even if someone comes to climb the wall, as long as they don't touch Zhao Ruxi's room, it will not affect Zhao Ruxi's reputation.

So after thinking about it, she still stayed here.

Anyway, the son is in the academy, and the husband has a large group of subordinates waiting in Gusu, so it doesn't matter if there is more of her or less of her.

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Zhu and decided to wait for a while to eat before telling her about her family, lest she be emotional and unable to eat.

As for whether Zhu was surprised or frightened when she heard the news, it was not something she could control.

Half an hour later, the mother and son put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Ruxi said: "Mother, let's go to the garden pavilion, I have something to tell you." ”

Before the will of the palace came down, it was not appropriate for too many people to know about this matter, so as not to cause twists and turns, so Zhao Ruxi planned to avoid telling the Zhu family about it.

Zhu looked at her suspiciously: "What is the important thing to go to the pavilion to say?" ”

Usually the mother and son talk, even if it is something that is not easy to be heard by the subordinates, they just say it in the house, let the henchmen guard the door, and it is never serious enough to go to the pavilion to say it.

It's a hot summer day, it's hot when you walk out of the house, the sun is big, the gazebo is built in the middle of the pond, and the mosquitoes are terrible. Therefore, since the summer, Zhu will never go out at noon, let alone run to the gazebo to feed mosquitoes.

"You come with me." Zhao Ruxi got up and said.

She turned her head and ordered: "First let people take mosquito repellent grass to the pavilion to smoke it, and then take a big umbrella to block the sun for Mrs. ”

The maids immediately answered and got busy.

Zhu glanced at his daughter helplessly, so he had to get up and go to the pavilion all the way to the pavilion under the sun.

When they arrived at the pavilion, the maid who trotted over had already smoked the pavilion.

The gazebo is built in the water, and there is a cool breeze, but it is not hot; There are lotus flowers in full bloom all around, and the scenery is very good.

However, Zhao Ruxi and Zhu had no intention of enjoying the scenery.

Zhao Ruxi instructed his subordinates: "You all go out and wait on the shore." ”

After everyone retreated, she said to the Zhu family: "In the morning, His Royal Highness King Qi came down to Nanyang, and he went to the yamen to ask me to accompany him to the fields for a walk. Before leaving, he told me that he wanted to marry me as the princess of Qi. ”

Walking over and sweating, Zhu was wiping sweat with a handkerchief. When she heard this, she loosened her hand, and the veil was blown to the ground by the wind, and in an instant it fell into the pond.

Where can the Zhu family take care of the handkerchief, she grabbed Zhao Ruxi's arm and asked urgently, "What did you just say?" Say it again! ”

Zhao Ruxi had to repeat what he had just said.

Zhu swallowed his saliva: "Qi, King Qi? ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

"The Five Princes?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded again.

Zhu let go of his hand, looked at Zhao Ruxi, and was speechless for a long time.

Zhao Ruxi was a little apprehensive in his heart, and called softly: "Mother." ”

In her last life, her parents were not close, and her parents were killed in a car accident when she was in college. So she is nearly thirty years old and has not married, and only her aunt worries about her marriage.

Crossing over to the Great Jin, Zhao Yuanxun and the Zhu family were both very good to her. Especially Zhu, let her once again experience deep maternal love.

She and Xiao Lingyan's family affairs, she very much hopes to get the blessing of the Zhu family, and she doesn't want to make everyone unhappy because of family affairs.

"Are you...... Disagree? She asked.

Zhu came back to his senses and looked at his daughter with a complicated expression: "It's not that I disagree." My daughter is so good, not to mention the princess, even the queen has done it. ”

At this time, she was very glad that they were in the pavilion, and the nearest maid was ten feet away, and she could say this without scruples.

Zhao Ruxi didn't speak, quietly waiting for Zhu's "but".

"It's just that, didn't you say that the battle for the throne between the princes is very strong? Didn't you say to stay away from them and not to get involved in the struggles of any faction? If you marry the King of Qi, will you be in danger? Zhu's eyes were full of worry.

Zhao Ruxi blinked, did not answer Zhu's words, and asked rhetorically, "Do you not agree with me marrying him?" If you don't agree, then I'll just reject him. Anyway, I haven't said yes yet, so I told him I'd come back and discuss with you before I could reply. ”

"No, no, no." Zhu hurriedly waved his hand.

If Zhao Ruxi directly said that he wanted to marry, the Zhu family would definitely be unhappy.

Marrying the King of Qi means getting involved in a struggle, worrying and fearing all day long, and always putting your life in danger. This is also inconsistent with what Zhao Ruxi originally said. If Zhao Ruxi is clamoring to get married, she will inevitably re-examine Zhao Ruxi's character.

But now that Zhao Ruxi said that she wanted to refuse, she was reluctant all of a sudden.

This is a princess, what a noble status. Don't you see how transcendent the old princess of Zhennan and the princess of Zhennan are in Dajin? There are so many wives of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, who dares to offend them? That's still the princess of the county. Zhao Ruxi married Xiao Lingyan, who is the princess, and her status is higher than that of the princess of Zhennan.

Moreover, it is still the same sentence, her daughter is so outstanding, regardless of her background, talent, appearance, character, and temperament, she is all first-class. Now that the prince himself came to ask for relatives and didn't marry, did he have to marry those children of the noble family who had achieved nothing?

The decent children of the Xungui family are all married to those who are the same age as Zhao Ruxi. If they miss King Qi, what good family can they find?

Even if they find it, will anyone dare to marry it?

His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally came to ask for a kiss, but was directly refused. If they marry Zhao Ruxi, will they worry that their family will be hated by the King of Qi? Who would dare to marry?

She didn't agree, didn't she watch her such an outstanding daughter become an old girl that no one wanted? After this village, there is no such shop.

"Mother is worried about your safety. If you marry him, there will be no danger, and it is too late for your mother to be happy for you, where will you disagree with this family business? Zhu said.

When Zhu was still Mrs. Hou, she met Xiao Lingyan when she attended the annual banquet. She remembered that it was a very good-looking young man, better than any of his brothers. The most rare thing is that he is very gentle and polite to people, and many people praise him.

A few years have passed, and the eleven or twelve-year-old boy has now grown into a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, right?
