Chapter 61: The Five Roots Are Pure
The next day, Zhu Qi visited the palace with gifts and met his aunt Qin Ke.
"Aunt, nephew, this person, if there is revenge, there will be revenge, and the nephew just wants to find the cheap slave who killed a thousand knives and let him die a thousand times more painful. I just came to see the people who went to the Qin Mansion yesterday, if there is no such person, I will leave!" Zhu Qi grinned and threatened with words.
"Yuhe, you go and summon it. ”
All the people who went to the palace yesterday, both men and women, gathered in the Qin Ke courtyard, and even the horsemen who did not enter the door were also listed.
"All here?" Zhu Qi saw that there was no one he was looking for, and said, "I remember that there should be another one, a slave behind the son." ”
"That's Liang'er's scholar, and he's not in the house at the moment. Qin Ke replied.
"Then I wonder when he will come back?" Zhu Qi crooked his mouth and laughed evilly.
Zhu Qi stayed in the palace until nearly dinner, Xia Bingliang returned from school, and Yuhe waited outside the door to invite him to take Xiang Gu to the princess's courtyard.
"Young Master Zhu Qi is here, looking for the subordinates who humiliated him. ”
Xia Bingliang was afraid of going to Gu, so he reminded him that he must recognize that he was the person who accompanied him to Qinfu yesterday to celebrate his birthday.
Zhu Qi saw that Xiang Gu was not the person he wanted to take revenge on.
"It seems that the person is really not from the palace, but the nephew is offended, and the nephew will leave. "Zhu Qi pretends to be a reasonable person.
I don't remember the house, the reason why Xia Huaijin didn't go to meet Zhu Qi was to watch An Ronghua practice calligraphy in the room. But Xia Huaijin buried himself in reading and didn't say a word to An Ronghua.
"I don't want to write, I'm not a child anymore!" An Ronghua was angry like a child, Xia Huaijin still ignored her, "You are so strange today, you usually drive me out, and today you have to leave me in your room, but you don't say a word." ”
An Ronghua walked towards Xia Huaijin with a fierce attitude, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes showed panic, and he hurriedly said, "Don't come here." ”
An Ronghua staggered suddenly, and his brows furrowed involuntarily when he saw Xia Huaijin's strange performance.
"You must have something weird, I'm not with you anymore, I'm leaving!"
An Ronghua was about to leave the room, but Xia Huaijin dropped the book in her hand and grabbed her hand, as soon as An Ronghua turned around, Xia Huaijin was so nervous that she even let go of her fingers tremblingly, and it was even more difficult to look at An Ronghua directly.
An Ronghua became more and more concerned, leaned over to pick up the books that fell to the ground, and tilted his head to Xia Huaijin with a questioning look.
"Did you do something sorry for me?" An Ronghua suddenly asked, Xia Huaijin was so weak that he had nowhere to escape, "This king has done nothing." ”
"Impossible!"
Xia Huaijin had to pretend to be calm and said, "Zhu Qi is here." ”
An Ronghua was successfully diverted, thinking that Xia Huaijin was silently protecting himself.
"What is he, why be afraid of him?"
Xia Huaijin just wants to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things, as long as An Ronghua is not harmed.
"You are not afraid, what else is this king afraid of. Xia Huaijin came back calmly.
An Ronghua thought that Xia Huaijin was pretending to be calm, obviously concerned about his own safety, but deliberately kept silent.
"I'm worried about me, it's weird, I thought you did something bad!" An Ronghua returned the book to Xia Huaijin, but his heart was unstable, "If this king really did something bad to you, what would you think?"
"What do you want to do to me?" An Ronghua's expression suddenly became obsessed.
"Why do you look expectant?" Xia Huaijin resisted solemnly.
"I didn't. An Ronghua instantly retracted his expression, "So what are you doing to me?"
"This king is just a hypothesis. Xia Huaijin didn't dare to admit it with a straight face.
An Ronghua is still suspicious of Xia Huaijin, but what makes her care is Zhu Qi, if he doesn't have the heart to leave today, it would be good, otherwise, he would never be afraid of him.
An Ronghua's worries came true, and sure enough, Zhu Qi visited the palace for three days in a row, pestering Xia Bingliang and annoying Qin Ke, and Xia Huaijin finally came forward.
"This palace and the Zhu family have always been well water does not interfere with river water, but you have repeatedly troubled the princess, although this king usually does not care about the affairs of the palace, but at this point, this king must issue an order to expel guests. Xia Huaijin was stern.
"Uncle Jinwang, what are you talking about, everyone is relatives, what's wrong with walking around each other to enhance their feelings!" Zhu Qi said cheekily.
"This king likes to be pure, and he doesn't like the idle people who come and go in the palace. ”
"Pure! This is the palace, not the monk's temple, won't the uncle-in-law of King Jin be clean even the five roots, right?" Zhu Qi said sarcastically.
"Today's last time, tomorrow onwards, you are not welcome in this palace. Xia Huaijin was not shocked.
Zhu Qi was furious, he was firm in the remarks of the cheap slave that day to defend Xia Huaijin, he must be from the palace, but he didn't see him for many days.
"Zhu Gongzi. ”
Zhu Qi turned his head ruthlessly, but saw that it was a dignified woman, and he had always cherished and loved beautiful women.
"Beauty is ......"
The next day, Zhu Qi and his subordinates came to the palace again, but this time, they brought boxes of gold, silver, treasures, and valuables.
"Zhu Qi, what do you want?" Qin Ke came forward.
"Auntie, don't worry, my nephew is here not to cause trouble, but to propose to my sweetheart. Zhu Qi took out a paper painting and unfolded it, and the person on the painting was Gu Nu, "My nephew often comes to the palace these days, although I didn't find the enemy, but I met the beauty in the painting, which made my nephew fall in love at first sight, and think about it day and night." ”
The anger in Qin Ke's eyes suddenly dissipated, she didn't know when Zhu Qi saw Gu Nu, but she needed to be cautious about this matter.
"A maid is just a nephew who brings countless treasures just to seek his beloved. ”
"I'm afraid that my aunt can't make decisions for you in this matter. ”
As soon as Qin Ke's words fell, An Ronghua stepped on the wind from behind everyone, green silk weeping willows, green clothes staggering, beautiful face like jade, eye waves, fragrant road, today is extraordinarily enchanting.
"What's so lively?" An Ronghua's eyes flashed with surprise when he fell on Zhu Qi, and he turned around and left, bowing his head and eyebrows, looking back sideways, and hooked Zhu Qi's soul.
"Sure enough, it's a beauty who captivates the country and the city!"
The whole palace knew about Zhu Qi's proposal to An Ronghua, and gifts were piled up in the hall, sending them one after another.
An Ronghua counted the same, which was beyond her expectations.
"What a Zhu family!"
"Miss Gu Nu, the Zhu family's gift has been sent again, but can you still accept it?" asked the servant.
"Take it, of course take it, all move in. ”
An Ronghua glanced at the rare treasures, his eyes were full of thoughts, and he didn't see Xia Huaijin returning outside the hall.
"It seems that you like the bride price from Zhu Qi very much. ”
An Ronghua turned around when he heard that it was Xia Huaijin, and he was only at him with a smile on his face.
"These things, it's really surprising, presumably the Zhu family's treasure house is locked, and there must be half of the treasury. ”
"It seems that this king was really worried about it before, if you are satisfied, it is better to agree to Zhu Qi's proposal. Xia Huaijin asked duciously.
"What are you talking nonsense, who wants to marry him!" An Ronghua vetoed with a serious face.
"Since you don't get married, why do you have to accept so many gifts?" Xia Huaijin's eyes were full of resentment.
"One is willing to give, the other is willing to receive. An Rong Huayun said lightly.
"Which one is willing to marry, and the other is willing to marry?" Xia Huaijin asked.
"Is the prince willing to marry?" An Ronghua saw the stitches.
"It's not a matter between you and me now!" Xia Huaijin looked solemn.
"I won't marry anyone else!" An Ronghua swore a promise.
Xia Huaijin inexplicably trusts An Ronghua, believing that she is not a woman who is greedy for money, not a woman who is in the twilight, and not a woman who likes the new and hates the old.
The Zhu family sent gifts for a few days in a row, and finally, Xia Huaijin asked someone to mobilize the patrol battalion in the city to be stationed outside the palace.
Xia Bingliang learned of this matter and had great opinions about An Ronghua, and finally couldn't bear this breath to question her face-to-face.
"Gu Nu, you are too much, are you being my father and king, provoking a cousin Zhu Qi to make this matter a storm in the city!" Xia Bingliang was furious.
"It stands to reason that I have nothing to do with the prince. An Ronghua seemed to be very sensible, and he was still dressing himself in the mirror.
"Have you empathized and don't fall in love?, are you stupid, my father is so good, Zhu Qi's cousin is ......" Xia Bingliang was indignant.
"He is a scumbag, I heard that there are more than a dozen concubines, all of whom were robbed and married. An Ronghua said calmly.
"Since you know that you are still entangled with him and accept his gifts, what do you mean?" Xia Bingliang was annoyed.
"Xiao Liang'er, don't be in a hurry, I have my own measure. An Ronghua was indifferent.
"Father has even transferred the patrol battalion to protect you! Father really cares about you, and I don't want to disappoint my father in the end. Xia Bingliang was extremely serious.
In Chunshui Pavilion, Aunt Feng is very jealous of An Ronghua's current value.
"It's just a maid, and she deserves to spend a lot of money!" Aunt Feng was worried.
"Don't throw your daughter, we just want her to disappear from the palace. Aunt Wei was calm.
"Even so, it's too cheap for her, she can't be the prince's concubine, she can still be the young grandmother of the Zhu family, and the gold and silver treasures are inexhaustible!"
"It's not such a good thing, that Zhu Qi is notoriously lustful, likes the new and hates the old, he can spend a lot of money for Gu Nu at the moment, and he will abandon it like chaff for other women in the future. Aunt Wei analyzed.
"Then the valley girl should taste the bitter fruit by herself!" Aunt Feng suddenly unblocked.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. "Aunt Wei is thoughtful.
"Why did my sister say that?" asked Aunt Feng.
"Let you choose one of the princes or Zhu Qi, how should you choose?" Aunt Wei asked rhetorically.
"Of course, of course it's the prince, the prince's status, appearance, and character are not better than that Zhu Qi!"
"You will choose the prince, not to mention Gu Nu, she is not a stupid woman who only cares about her immediate interests. Aunt Wei explained.
Not only Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei, everyone in the palace watched and watched, not knowing the follow-up development of this big drama.
An Ronghua calculated that when the time was ripe, Zhu Qi couldn't get in, so she took the initiative to go out.
"Beautiful girl, our young master has love. Zhu Qi's subordinates were respectful.
