Chen Ruqing was even more pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly opened the curtain for him and invited him to the carriage.
The carriage of the Chen family is very spacious, the dark compartment of the carriage can be opened, and ice cubes are placed in it to cool off the heat, and it is very cool and not stuffy after going up. Chen Ruqing followed him into the carriage, because of nervousness, when he got into the carriage, his feet slipped and almost fell, Zhu Xinzhi reached out to help her, and touched her arm, which immediately made Chen Ruqing blush.
Zhu Xinzhi withdrew his hand: "Miss be careful." ”
"The prince cares, Ru Qing remembers." Chen Ruqing replied coquettishly, and glanced at Zhu Xin with joy in her eyes.
Zhu Xinzhi sat in the carriage, indifferent, he didn't speak, Chen Ruqing had to find something to say: "The prince came out of the palace, is it the concubine Niangniang?" ”
Zhu Xinzhi snorted: "My mother is a little uncomfortable today. ”
"Then will the prince go to the palace tomorrow?" Chen Ruqing asked again.
Zhu Xinzhi pursed his lips and smiled: "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the queen of the Middle Palace, so naturally I want to go." What, is Miss Chen going too? ”
This year, the situation is unstable, in order to calm people's hearts, I heard that the queen has long proposed to her father that on the day of the birthday banquet, the court will have a banquet of more than three grades and their families, in order to show the court inside and outside. The father and emperor have already approved, and tomorrow, the court officials and noblewomen will go to Zhonghe Palace to participate in the birthday banquet held in the palace. As for whether to bring the lady in the boudoir, I don't know yet.
Chen Ruqing nodded: "I'm going." At that time, you will be able to see the prince again in the palace. ”
Zhu Xinzhi smiled and said nothing.
He was not at all interested in seeing Chen Ruqing.
After taking a serious look at Chen Ruqing, he saw her red cheeks, her hands and feet that were so restrained that she didn't know where to put them, and her little finger that couldn't stop trembling with excitement, he frowned slightly.
Not generous at all......
Where is it like the one in his family, when he rubbed his carriage, he patted his chest and told him unashamedly: "Lord, I am very pleased with you, I want to be your princess." ”
Seeing that Zhu Xinzhi didn't speak again, Chen Ruqing unconsciously felt a little embarrassed, the person in front of him obviously looked very gentle, but it was just difficult to approach. She thought of Xie Chengyin in her heart, and suddenly admired this person very much. The prince of Huai'an is so cold, how can Xie Chengyin endure it, and still have so much to say to the prince?
No, she can't just be compared!
The last time she met Xie Chengyin, Xie Chengyin said that she didn't mind going to the palace to be a guest, as long as she could enter that door, why couldn't she take the initiative?
Thinking of this, Chen Ruqing hurriedly smiled and looked at Zhu Xinzhi affectionately: "The little girl heard that the prince is very good at danqing, and I also like to paint on weekdays, I wonder if there is an honor to ask the prince for advice?" My father always said that the prince's danqing is one in a thousand, and he wants me to learn more from the prince. ”
"When it comes to Danqing, Bai Shutong is even better than me." Zhu Xinzhi smiled faintly: "If Miss Chen wants to be more beneficial in Danqing, you can go to Baifu to learn from him." Bai Shu is informal, and he does not hesitate to teach anyone. ”
This is a rejection.
Chen Ruqing felt hit and bit her lip: "Bai Shutong's fine brushwork is more oriented to opening and closing, which is not suitable for little women." The little woman liked the king's penmanship. ”
"If you like simplicity, Qu Yanming's painting method is more suitable for women." Zhu Xinzhi's head was clear, but he didn't touch it at all.
Chen Ruqing felt sad in her heart, lowered her head, she had been rejected to this role, and the woman's reserve made her unable to speak.
Seeing this, Zhu Xinzhi secretly shook his head.
If the little fox in his family would probably jump over and hug him when he refused for the first time, he would shout with a dead face: "I don't, the world is so good, I love you." ”
Thinking of Xie Chengyin, Zhu Xinzhi's face was secretly red, his hand was pinched in his sleeve, and he sighed secretly in his heart. Unconsciously, this person has left too many traces in his life, even if it is a person or something that has nothing to do with her, he can always think of her, and he is really poisoned. But what about her, is she really to herself?
When she jumped in the carriage, did she come on orders, or was it a deliberate revenge?
Zhu Xinzhi sighed, tried to calm down, thought of his original intention of getting into the carriage, slowed down, and still said: "Miss Chen has a famous family in her family, why bother looking for guidance?" Lord Chen's magic skills are all first-class, and His Majesty always praises him, and I used to think that I could find an opportunity to ask Lord Chen for advice. ”
When Chen Ruqing's ears heard this, he felt unspeakably comfortable. He comforted himself, and his mood immediately improved a lot: "My father always praises the prince." ”
"It's a pity that Lord Chen is too busy,......" Zhu Xinzhi said with a smile: "Otherwise, Xinzhi will definitely come to visit." ”
"Not busy, not busy." As soon as Chen Ruqing heard that he was willing to come to the door, he immediately said: "My father will be in the mansion every afternoon, if he knows that the prince is coming, he will definitely not go out." ”
"Lord Chen will go out in the afternoon?" Zhu Xin was stunned.
Chen Ruqing frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Chen Zhao's actions: "Yes, he used to go out only occasionally, but recently, he went out almost every day, and he didn't know what he was busy with." ”
Go out every day and don't tell your family?
Zhu Xinzhi frowned.
It seems that this trip was not in vain, and he finally has some eyebrows.
The Huai'an Palace's palace has arrived.
Zhu Xinzhi picked up the carriage, picked up the snacks he bought, and got off slowly.
Standing outside the car, he still made a polite gesture: "Thank you Miss Chen for sending me off, I have been in trouble at home recently, so I won't invite Miss Chen as a guest, please forgive me." ”
"Lord Wang." Chen Ruqing saw that he turned around to leave, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and shouted.
Zhu Xinzhi stopped and looked back at Chen Ruqing, Chen Ruqing felt more and more that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have any intersection with him, so he gritted his teeth and asked: "The prince is not willing to teach the little girl Danqing, calligraphy is also okay, calligraphy is not good, and the little girl who carvers is also willing to learn." The prince is inconvenient today, and the little woman will visit her again another day. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Xinzhi's refusal, he ordered the coachman to leave.
Zhu Xin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before the words could be spoken, Chen Ruqing had already left.
He stood where he was, thought for a moment, and said to the guards waiting at the door: "The next time Miss Chen comes to visit, just say that I am not there, and there is no need to inform me." ”
The guard smiled sullenly and answered.
Zhu Xinzhi returned to the main courtyard and put the snacks on the table, but he didn't see Pei Xie Tang when he looked around. I thought that people would be a little more relieved if they were injured, maybe they were recuperating from Qi Meng's place, so I went to the side courtyard to take a look, only to see Qi Meng squatting on the ground decocting medicine, the basket sitting at the table peeling chestnuts, and Pei Xie Tang was nowhere to be seen.
He returned to the main courtyard and couldn't help muttering for a while: "Where did you go?" ”
His heart sank slowly, and he sat in the main courtyard for a moment, then got up and went to the study. Back in the study, as soon as the door was closed, Zhu Xinzhi sat in front of the desk and took out the letter in his arms. When he opened the letter, he opened the drawer, took out the rice paper and flattened it, and then flattened the letter and compared it carefully. Then, Zhu Xinzhi's face changed, the blood on his lips receded minute by minute, and finally closed his eyes tiredly and lay down on the chair......
There may be similarities on the letter paper, but the ink fragrance will not deceive.
The ink on the letter has a faint orchid fragrance, which is the fragrance of square ink unique to his palace, and only in the Huaizhou fiefdom can such a natural thing be produced, which is extremely precious, even the father and the emperor do not have it.
It's really her handwriting.
After a while, Zhu Xinzhi took a breath, picked up the letter again, thought about it, and took the letter that Pei Xie Tang had written to him before, and compared it carefully.
Handwriting......
The similarity can be ninety, but compared with the previous fierce momentum, the new letter has more of a woman's grace, like a lack of pen, or there is no murderous intent of that person in his heart.
Zhu Xinzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
After another moment, he raised his hand and slapped himself, and chuckled: "This case of the county lord of Chatai'an is really about to scare you." A person cannot be resurrected after death, even if she was the god of war when she was alive, but when she died, she was dead, and the same is true for the god of war. No matter how similar the notes of imitation are, they are still imitations after all, and the font can be learned, but the charm still needs to be tempered. ”
His mood suddenly became very good.
As long as it's not that person, even if she's approaching her with a purpose, what?
What he has is time to change that person's stubborn mind, as if she had spared no effort to change herself and forcefully broke into her heart.
He didn't believe it, he couldn't keep this man.
As long as it's not Pei Xie Tang.
At this time, the person he was talking about was wearing light clothes, covering his face and changing his face, and lurking in the attic opposite the Chen family with Li Shangxi and the other four people. After drinking three cups of tea, I saw Chen Ke coming out of Chen's house in a hurry and walking towards the dark alley with his back to Chen's house.
Li Shangxi immediately pushed Pei Xie Tang: "County Lord, come out." ”
Putting down the teacup with a bang, Pei Xie Tang tilted his neck: "Let's go." ”
A few people rushed out of the attic, picked up the most secret corner and followed, walked a small half-pillar of incense, and saw Chen Ke push the door into the annex that the Ghost Pavilion had explored before. Li Shangxi and the others had checked before, but they didn't find that there was Gao Xingzhi hidden in the courtyard, and when they saw Chen Ke entering, they all whispered in unison: "Damn, it's really here." ”
"Out of breath!" Pei Xie Tang couldn't help but glance at the four of them: "Gao Xingzhi suffered one more day in vain. ”
Several people bowed their heads in shame.
Chen Ke entered the courtyard, there was only one old servant sweeping the floor in this courtyard, and when he saw him coming, he retreated to the side, and Chen Ke went straight into the bedroom.
Pei Xie Tang gave Li Shangxi a look.
Li Shangxi stepped forward knowingly, heard that there seemed to be a sound in the bedroom, and quickly appeared, the old servant fell to the ground before he could shout, and Pei Xie Tang took Xu Danshi and them out.
When they jumped into the bedroom, they saw that the bed in the bedroom had retracted into the wall, revealing the secret room.
