Chapter 25: After the Reject

An Yonghua quarreled with himself all night and struggled with himself. Tired and sleepy, he slept until three poles of the sun, and became a lost soul. was indifferent when he was rejected by Xia Huaijin, and in retrospect, he was still irritable and out of control.

"If you dare to refuse me, I won't be brazen and stick it up, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

An Ronghua Lai did not go out in the room, and no one cared about her. Xia Huaijin is a busy day today, since he conveyed the meaning of the Queen Mother to the emperor, he was ordered to accept the national event of the post-election ceremony.

And when all the officials in the government who participated in the election learned of the news, they sent invitations to Xia Huaijin one by one, and sent them one after another, and some of them were amazingly rich.

If there is a female candidate in the family, it is the honor of the whole family, and it is also the absolute help of the people in the family, and no one will not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xia Huaijin was not in the mansion, everyone came to visit the princess, and Qin Ke couldn't make the decision, so he could only record the gifts sent by each family and place them in the empty side hall, piled up.

Aunt Feng smelled the fragrance of gold, silver and jewelry, and dragged Aunt Wei to join in the fun.

"Sister Princess, you have worked so hard!"

Aunt Feng was thinking about Qin Ke's suffering, but there were only boxes and boxes of good things in her eyes.

Bright pearl jade, glazed jade carving, dazzling, rare bird's nest, 100-year-old Shou Wu, 1,000-year-old ginseng, dazzling.

"Where did all these treasures come from, wouldn't it be a good thing done by that valley girl?" Aunt Feng doubted.

"It has nothing to do with her. Qin Ke was full of thoughts.

"I heard that the next post-election ceremony will be presided over by the prince, and these gifts should be sent by each family to express their hearts. Aunt Wei guessed.

"That's the case!" Aunt Feng said in surprise, "Isn't that the palace going to be full of money!"

"Do you think this is just a favor? After the election, it is a major national event, so it is considered a bribe. Aunt Wei said in one word.

"You are not allowed to take any of these gifts, and you will dispose of them when the prince returns. Qin Ke commanded.

"Sister doesn't dare!" Aunt Feng said in frustration.

Xia Bingliang went to Qin Ke and found out that she was in the side hall, and it was strange that some people who were not in the palace entered and exited the palace, so he came to find out.

"Mother Qin, the child has said hello to you, and the two aunts are good. ”

"The prince is back. ”

"There are so many things, won't it be Gu Nu again......" Xia Bingliang's first reaction was to suspect Gu Nu's head.

"The prince is wrong to blame the valley girl, this matter has nothing to do with her, these treasures are bribed by those dignitaries and nobles in the court, but they can only be temporarily stored in the palace. Aunt Feng was in love with these treasures in front of her that didn't belong to her at a glance.

In that case, the child will not bother. ”

Xia Bingliang returned to his courtyard, and he didn't see Gu Nu all the way, which was unusual, she used to always run around in the house and meddle in things.

"Why don't you see the valley girl hanging around in the garden today?" even Xiang Gu felt strange.

"It won't be because of ......"

Xia Bingliang went to the guest room where An Ronghua was, the door was open, and it opened with a push.

At a glance, seeing Gu Nu contemplating in front of the mirror, looking loveless, Xia Bingliang casually talked about the side hall.

"Why are you staying quietly in the room today, I have received countless treasures in the side hall, I heard that someone bribed my father......" Xia Bingliang dared to say anything, but An Ronghua really raised his spirit, "What? bribe!"

An Ronghua knew that according to the current situation, the people who gave gifts to the palace must be the families of the candidates after the election, and they were so blatant that they let her know.

An Ronghua didn't wait for a moment, rekindled the fire in his heart, and went straight to the side hall.

Aunt Feng is reluctant to leave this cornucopia, even if she can't have it all, she wants to take it away secretly.

"I heard that many mansions have sent gifts?" An Ronghua entered the hall in a menacing manner, and instructed as he walked to the housekeeper on the side, "Record the gifts given by each mansion one by one, I want to see how generous the officials who pretend to be incorruptible can throw on this matter!"

"It's all recorded. The butler replied.

"If the mourning family quits the court, it won't matter if it's not in the palace!" An Ronghua thought angrily in his heart.

Although it has always been Gu Nu's temperament to be nosy, Qin Ke is still dissatisfied with her hustle and bustle at the moment, but it seems that she is in charge of this matter.

"Also, keep these things well, lest they be led by the ignorant and greedy for money, and the prince will be caught in injustice. An Ronghua glanced sideways at Aunt Feng, and she put down the pearl in her hand in a panic.

"Of course, I will order to go down and settle it properly, and I will deal with it when the prince returns. Qin Ke replied.

"I hope that Princess Jin will be strict and don't make any mistakes. An Ronghua reminded too harshly, when she was serious about things, she would deny her six relatives, and then turned to her aunt and aunt, "There is no one to wait for, what are you doing here?"

Aunt Feng and Aunt He Wei returned in a huff.

"This valley girl looks like no one in her eyes, can no one really cure her?" Aunt Feng was angry with herself.

An Ronghua rekindled his fighting spirit, the demeanor of the queen mother was left behind, and he ate and drank at dinner regardless of his image.

"The most important thing at the moment is to choose a queen for Bingwen after he chooses a queen with a prominent family background, both ability and political integrity, and worthy of the throne of the mother's family. ”

An Ronghua didn't notice that Xia Bingliang was so frightened by her eating that he didn't dare to enter, thinking that she was really stimulated because of Xia Huaijin's matter.

"You eat so much!" Xia Bingliang finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I've been hungry for a day, how can I be full if I don't eat more!" An Ronghua

Xia Bingliang stepped in to stop An Ronghua, thinking that it was indeed as he guessed.

"Don't eat it, even if your father rejects you, you can't be my little mother, you can still be my sister!

"Huh?" An Ronghua was stunned, and reacted that a chicken leg smashed into Xia Bingliang's head, "What are you thinking, who wants to be your sister, you can't mess with your generation!"

It was Xia Bingliang's turn to be stunned, although An Ronghua behaved differently, it was not as he was worried.

"Xiao Liang'er, let me tell you, your father rejected me last night because he ......," An Ronghua thought for a while before continuing, "I have eyes but no beads, and I can't see the essence through my appearance, and there will be times when he regrets it in the future." ”

"Don't be reckless, I heard what you said before, I thought you and my father had an old relationship many years ago, but when I calmed down and thought about it, it was impossible, when my father was young, you may not have been born. Xia Bingliang analyzed.

"I can't explain it to you, anyway, I'm not from your sister's generation, you just don't know what happened between me and your father, no matter how it develops in the future, you just have to respect me and respect me. An Ronghua was extraordinarily calm.

"I think you've eaten too much and you're confused. Xia Bingliang decided that An Ronghua was too stimulated, and he was unwilling to accept it and deceived himself.

He also had a contradiction in his heart, he thought that it was impossible for him to accept Gu Nu as his little mother, but at the moment he thought about it and sympathized with her.

"You eat slowly, I'm gone. ”

When Xia Huaijin returned home, it was late, and Qin Ke came to tell him about receiving gifts today.

"Can you record the placement?" Xia Huaijin asked.

"That's it. ”

"If the Queen Mother is here and knows about this, I'm afraid these ministers won't be able to sleep peacefully. ”

"Lord Wang, why did the Queen Mother suddenly ask you to take care of this matter?"

"After the election, it is a national event, if this king can still share the worries of the country, there is no excuse. What Xia Huaijin thought in her heart was clearly to share her worries.

"But this matter is not as good as ordinary state affairs, involving the inner palace, it is inevitable that there will be some ......"

The Queen Mother was thoughtful and arranged for people in the palace to assist the king. ”

"Who's in the palace?"

"Valley girl. ”

In the deserted guest room, An Ronghua thought that the people who gave the gift were about to break through the threshold of King Jin's mansion, so the matter must have been announced to the world, but Xia Huaijin did not inform him of the meaning of the queen mother.

"He won't go against my will, right?" An Ronghua had never doubted before, but he was anxious at the moment, "No, I have to ask!"

An Ronghua pushed the door out with a kick in front of her, and Xia Huaijin appeared in front of her, reappearing in a trance yesterday.

"Superficial man!" An Ronghua couldn't help but dislike a sentence, and pulled his head away with a disdainful attitude, "Why did the prince come to me, I am not Aunt Feng Aunt Wei, I am not waiting for your master." ”

Xia Huaijin thought that she would freeze with An Ronghua this time because of business, but she obviously disappointed herself.

"This king is here to inform you of the matter. ”

An Ronghua suddenly thought of the urgent matter, so he put aside his dissatisfaction.

"Come in and talk about it. ”

An Ronghua's face changed suddenly, and the little woman who was angry and unhappy didn't look at all, and sat opposite Xia Huaijin seriously, just waiting for him to speak.

"What?"

"The Queen Mother instructed this king to preside over the post-election affairs on her behalf, and in the letter, she specifically mentioned you and asked you to assist this king in handling this matter. Xia Huaijin got straight to the point.

"Oh. An Ronghua pretended to be a little surprised, but she was really distracted.

"At the end of this month, you will stay in the palace with the king. ”

"It is reasonable for the prince to have full authority to manage state affairs as a relative of the emperor, but this matter involves the harem, and the identity of the prince is a little inappropriate. The Queen Mother is thoughtful, in this case, in order to protect the innocence of the prince, I can only assist the prince. An Ronghua maliciously ridiculed Xia Huaijin in his words, and also revealed that he couldn't help himself.

"I don't know why the Queen Mother trusts you so much, obviously she can't even be cautious in her words and deeds. "Xia Huaijin doesn't care.

"Although the prince rejected me yesterday with a sincere heart and made the little girl heartbroken, but the public and private are clear, and they will never declare personal vendetta to you. An Ronghua promised with a serious face.

Xia Huaijin really couldn't hear or see that her Gu Nu was heartbroken in the slightest, and even felt that she was heartless at all, but in this way, it would make him care more.

After talking about the matter, An Ronghua started thinking again.

"The prince really doesn't think about taking pity on my broken heart?" An Ronghua suddenly became pitiful.

Changing his face too quickly, Xia Huaijin was at a loss for a moment, and got up in a hurry, revealing the panic in his heart.

"The king is fine. ”

"Then please go slowly. An Ronghua had another obedient attitude.

Xia Huaijin really couldn't guess An Ronghua's thoughts, which were changing rapidly.
