Chapter 449: Respected Elders
Baili Jingxu sighed secretly, it was good to be misunderstood, at least he didn't have to bother thinking about finding a way to refuse.
After attending the full moon feast, he went to an appointment with an old minister in the city.
This old minister was a friend of his mother back then.
"Uncle Chu, I know that you love to drink Huadiao wine, these are two pots of Huadiao specially brought for you."
In front of Chu Hezhi, Baili Jingxu was completely relaxed and at ease.
"Your Highness, you came as soon as you came, and what kind of wine did you bring, it was really annoying for the old man."
Chu Hezhi was pleased, after all, he had watched this highness grow up since he was a child, and he naturally had a sense of closeness.
Chu Hezhi is an old minister in the court, in the imperial city, there is a house, the house is not big, but he is alone, and he has not married a wife, let alone children, and there are only a few servants and stewards who have followed him for many years in the house.
At this full moon banquet, Chu Hezhi, as an old minister in the court, also went to the banquet.
"Your Highness, there is one thing that the old minister doesn't know whether to ask?"
Chu Hezhi, who has always spoken briskly and neatly, is now a little bit stumbling.
"Uncle Chu wants to ask, is that rumor from Jiangling City true or false?"
Baili Jingxu is such a smart person, from the other party's expression that wants to speak and stops, how can he not see the other party's thoughts.
"Your Highness, since you have insight into the old man's mind, why don't you satisfy the old man's curiosity and tell the old man the truth?" Chu Hezhi originally intended to spy on the other party's gossip, but from the perspective of concern, he still wanted to understand the real truth. Love Me eBook
On the table in the dining room, a table of good dishes was set up, all to entertain him, Baili Jingxu poured the Huadiao wine he brought, and then replied slowly.
"Uncle Chu, don't worry, what you are worried about does not exist."
He didn't respond directly, but his words had already indirectly told the other party the truth.
Chu Hezhi reacted, and only then did a smile appear on his face, and even exhaled softly.
"It's dangerous! The old man was stupid, and almost thought that the rumors outside were true, and thought that His Highness was ...... It's good if it's not, if it's not, then the old man is really relieved. ”
"Uncle Chu, drink!"
Baili Jingxu gently raised the wine cup, this is the elder he respects, and it is worthy of his sincere delivery.
Chu Hezhi also raised the wine cup and replied with relief.
"When I came back from the party, I was still worried...... If that's the case, your mother under Jiuquan, I don't know how sad and sad it should be, but she was born with great difficulty, and she is the person she cares about the most, and she entrusted me with it before she died, asking me to help take care of you in the imperial city, and if you encounter any trouble in the future, I must help you secretly......"
The dusty past resurfaced in his mind again, and the wine in the wine cup in the hand of the general of Chu He was directly drunk.
"I also promised your mother that if you are in need, I will do my best to protect you. Now that I know it's a rumor, I'm relieved. ”
Baili Jingxu felt apologetic in his heart, "I'm sorry, at the banquet, I didn't want to be forced to marry, so I didn't clarify these rumors. ”
When it came to such a major event as getting married, Chu Hezhi cautiously inquired again.
"Xue Fei Niangniang's family matter, I don't think there is any problem, your current fiefdom is in Jiangling City, if you are close to Jiangling City, if you marry directly, there will be no threat to the imperial city, on the contrary, if you want to be in the imperial city in the future, if you want to marry with any family in the imperial city, the prince will inevitably think more, as for Xue Fei Niangniang, there will definitely be some fear."
