Chapter 221: Cold
Xiao Rui arrived at Qin's house, but was told that Qin Mingyue had gone to the Star Picking Tower. It was Qin Guosong who received him. Qin Ping was not at home either, Xiao Rui then remembered that Qin Ping had been running to Wanhualou every day recently. I heard that I was infatuated with a red card girl. Qin Mingyue is thunderous every day, and she wants to go to the Star Tower.
Xiao Rui secretly scolded himself for being stupid, left gifts and famous notes, and said that he would come to visit Qin Mingyue the next day.
In the evening, Qin Guosong told Qin Mingyue about this. Qin Mingyue's heart jumped, but she still made an indifferent look and said, "I still have important things to do tomorrow when I pick up the Star Tower." Tell King Qin tomorrow that if he has something, come to our house at night. ”
Qin Guosong had no choice but to do this.
The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Rui came over with a few more gifts. After Qin Guosong relayed Qin Mingyue's words, Xiao Rui's heart beat up.
Although he smiled and said to Qin Guosong, if he came back in the evening, he would leave.
This has always been uncomfortable. Before, Xiao Rui guessed that Qin Mingyue might have predicted some things in advance like him for some reason. There are plain silk, Hua Yixuan's marriage, Qin Guosong's marriage, as well as makeup and silk satin as evidence. If this is the case, Xiao Rui and Qin Mingyue were good friends in his previous life, and this friendship has always existed. Why did Qin Mingyue reject him so much? Not as close as you dreamed of?
Xiao Rui spent the whole day in anxiety. It was easy to stay up until the evening, and Xiao Rui was busy at the Qin family.
It just so happened that Qin Mingyue had just returned home. Entertain Xiao Rui in the flower hall.
Looking at Qin Mingyue, who was sitting down generously and inviting herself to tea, she was wearing a priest's robe embroidered with silver edges, and her green silk was held by a black ribbon, but a silver hairpin was used. With such a simple dress, it becomes more and more that Qin Mingyue's eyes are like a star, and his lips are like Dan.
Xiao Rui felt in a trance that Qin Mingyue's current appearance was different from what he had in his dream. Qin Mingyue at this time in the dream likes to dress up in red and purple. This is also normal. Because after all, Qin Mingyue was only fourteen years old at this time. At that time, she and Qin Mingyue became good friends, but Qin Mingyue had complained to herself countless times that she didn't like dull shaman robes. This is also normal, that flower girl would like such black, wide and dull clothes?
However, Qin Mingyue in front of her was wearing such a shaman's robe. The wide clothes worn on her weak body are not only not ugly, but also show a majestic momentum. This kind of momentum, in the dream, Xiao Rui is very familiar, it is the momentum of the superior person who has been trained by Qin Mingyue, who is a national teacher, after reaching middle age, holding the power of the world.
It's really strange, how could such momentum appear on the current Qin Mingyue?
Qin Mingyue looked at Xiao Rui and looked at her fixedly, and sighed, he still has this problem, and he can always wander outside the world.
Qin Mingyue knocked on the table helplessly, and said in a "buckle" voice: "King Qin said that there is something important to discuss with Mingyue, I don't know what it is?" ”
Probably awakened by the sound of knocking on the table, Xiao Rui laughed dryly, and hurriedly said: "Mingyue, that's the case, my father has already told me that there have been officials in Ba Province who have impeached each other recently. There were even people who came to the capital to complain to the emperor, and he suspected that there was a problem with the administration of Ba Province, so he appointed me as a minister to investigate Ba Province. The officials of the Star Picking Building who were traveling with me didn't expect that it was you who sent it. So, I'd like to talk to you about it. ”
Qin Mingyue laughed: "My master also told me." But isn't this a thing after the beginning of spring? What to discuss now? ”
Xiao Rui froze for a moment and smiled dryly: "That, I'm used to planning and then acting." And, you know, I have always grown up in the palace, although I came out of the palace later, and I have never been out of the capital, this is the first time I have gone out, and it is also the first time that my father has sent me an envoy. Naturally, I wanted to do it. So, I'm nervous, and I want to come to Mingyue to discuss with you. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled, yes, at this time, Xiao Rui was not the omnipotent, shrewd and capable prince in his previous life, he was still a sixteen-year-old young man. The first time I run an errand, I will be nervous and want to do a good job, how normal it is. Qin Mingyue's voice couldn't help but soften: "I haven't been out of the capital either, and I don't have any experience. However, if you think about it, it is the itinerary, the place you get to, how to explore and so on. ”
"This itinerary, I don't know if there are guards in the prince's mansion to plan the itinerary? If not, my guards are all experienced, and I can ask them to arrange them. You can also send out a guard leader of the palace to hand over to my deputy leader of the dark guard, Qu Feng, and they can discuss it together. ”
"As for the things we should prepare when we go out, although the prince does not have a princess now, there must be a lot of housekeepers, grandmothers, and palace maids, so just tell them to prepare to go. My side is all taken care of by my grandmother. ”
"As for how to investigate when you get to the place, this prince doesn't have to worry, although the situation in Ba Province is a little complicated, I have already instructed my personnel from the Star Tower in advance to investigate, and I have already mastered some clues. When the time comes, the information will definitely be provided to the prince. The prince only needs to bring a few staff helpers, and that's it. It's going to go well. ”
Actually, what to do about this matter is really difficult for Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui has traveled the world for more than ten years in his dreams, and he has rich experience in going out, even if he knows the situation in Ba Province in detail, he is just looking for an excuse to get close to Qin Mingyue.
Right now, Qin Mingyue finished speaking in just a few words. Xiao Rui is not good at saying anything. However, he always reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "Mingyue, what you said is very right, after listening to what you said, I don't think this matter is too difficult." I'll make a plan when I go back, and when it's done, I'll discuss it with Mingyue. As for the head of the guards in my house, let him also come and consult with Master Qu. ”
Qin Mingyue nodded.
Xiao Rui then asked: "Mingyue, during the national funeral, you are the busiest in the Star Tower. I see that you are very dedicated to the funeral of my imperial grandmother, and I am really touched. It's just that, Mingyue, it's not good that you're working too yourself. Look, this is skinny again. ”
Qin Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she said coldly: "Lord Wang, this is not a business matter, right?" Mingyue's own affairs are naturally handled by her family and master, and she doesn't need to be disciplined by the prince. ”
After speaking, Qin Mingyue stood up and walked in. Xiao Rui was left standing stupidly. Halfway through, Qin Guosong hurriedly came over to see off the guests.
Qin Mingyue returned to her room, but her heart was warm. In her previous life, Xiao Rui cared for her like this. It's just that at that time, I only thought about Hua Yixuan and turned a blind eye to all this. Now that I experience it again, I can't help but feel very warm. It's just that Qin Mingyue felt that she had lost too much to Xiao Rui in her previous life. In this life, I don't want to have too many entanglements with Xiao Rui, I hope that Xiao Rui can find a good match and live a happy life. Therefore, she coldly rejected Xiao Rui's kindness.
However, in the face of the silent night, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but sigh.
