Chapter 4 Uncle Huang, Chu Jingxing, Creditor
"I hear you."
When Zhao heard that he was going to kneel for an hour, he cried at that time, "Eldest son, an hour is too long, how can she stand it?" ”
"Do you have an opinion?" He glanced over and said indifferently, "Hold on." ”
He said to the two guards behind him: "Look at it, the kneeling posture should be standard, you can't sleep, you can't add clothes." ”
"Yes!"
Lowan Castle leaves the Autumn Leaf Garden.
Zhao was in a hurry, and the two guards were as immobile as a mountain, and she couldn't get close at all.
Luo Qianmeng sneezed in the cold wind, shivered from the cold, and clenched his fists.
Luo Qianxue, you are ruthless!
She wrote down this account, and she will definitely not let Luo Qianxue have a good time tomorrow!
March 16 was a great sunny day, and the Taifu Mansion was full of guests.
Luo Hao is an upright person, rich in learning, and as a Taifu, he previously served in the Guozijian Prison, and he is full of peach and plums. Everyone either admired his knowledge, or respected his conduct, or hindered his power, in short, the Manchu civil and military people respected him very much, and they all had the intention of making friends.
Today's ceremony is a great opportunity.
When Luo Qianxue listened to the summons to the front hall, relatives and friends had already arrived, and Concubine Jing was sitting on the main seat, with a delicate appearance and a beautiful country.
And the man who sat opposite her father with his hands down made her even more unable to take her eyes off.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with a straight waist and high black hair, meticulous. His clear jawline and firm nose bridge can be seen from the side.
At this time, he was not as vicissitudes as fifteen years later, he was full of spirit, his demeanor was regular, and sitting there was a painting.
It's her creditor, Chu Jingxing.
"Xiaoxue!" Luo Wancheng reminded him.
Only then did she realize her gaffe, and hurriedly knelt down, "Courtier Luo Qianxue, meet Niangniang." ”
"Flatten. Xiaoxue's long opening is really more and more beautiful and moving. ”
Luo Qianxue stood up, thanked and complimented, and forcibly didn't look at Chu Jingxing.
The first emperor came to have a son, Chu Jingxing ranked ninth, and the eldest prince was born with a weak crown, so although he was older, he was actually not very old, just twenty or three.
Chu Jingxing acted clearly, especially like to fight, only thirteen years old to follow the battlefield, sixteen years old to lead the army, the first battle victory, and then perennial war, at the end of last year, the emperor issued eight decrees to summon him back to Beijing for the New Year, he reluctantly gave up chasing the barbarians, rushed back.
After more than ten years, the emperor almost didn't recognize him.
After the year, the emperor rejected his request to continue the expedition for various reasons, I heard that the two of them had some unhappiness because of this, Chu Jingxing said that he was sick at home for half a month and did not go to the court, and today he was able to come to protect the imperial concubine to attend the ceremony of the daughter of the princess, Luo Hao was also a little flattered.
However, although he has been fighting all year round, he may have been favored since he was a child, so his personality is unexpectedly gentle, and he noticed that she glanced at him many times, so he simply glanced at her with an inquiring in his eyes.
Luo Qianxue lowered her head, and Luo Hao also spoke at this time: "The hour is almost up, salute." ”
And the ceremony, in fact, is to pull up the girl's hair bun.
Usually her mother comes in person, but her mother has not yet returned, so Concubine Jing will do the work for her.
She personally gave Luo Qianxue a flying bun, and Luo Hao brought a delicate mahogany box, in which lay a plum blossom hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, and Concubine Jing put it on her with her own hands.
"There is a girl in my family who has just grown up."
Luo Qianxue stepped back and saluted, "There is Lao Niangniang." ”
"Before leaving the palace, the emperor instructed the palace, if Xiaoxue has a favorite family, you can directly refer to the marriage, Xiaoxue, I don't know if you have a sweetheart?"
As soon as Concubine Jing asked, the guests present all started to think.
They came here today, who didn't do it for this concubine?
However, I heard before that this Miss Luo seems to be very close to the current prince Chu Zichen, and Luo Hao is a Taifu, who taught the Son of Heaven back then, and I am afraid that this marriage has already been decided.
Sure enough, Luo Qianxue replied: "In the heart of the courtier, there is indeed a good person. ”
"Oh?" Concubine Jing also thought of Chu Zichen, but still asked, "Which family is Lang Jun?" Hongu can be a matchmaker for you. ”
Chu Zichen also came today, sitting beside Chu Jingxing.
He had already noticed that something was wrong, just now Luo Qianxue frequently looked sideways at him, at first he thought he was looking at himself, but then the eyes of the two of them never met, so he knew that she was not looking at him.
But now when I ask my sweetheart, who else can Luo Qianxue be with besides being close to him? This marriage could be his.
Of course, Luo Qianxue saw Chu Zichen, but she felt disgusted when she looked at him more, so her gaze crossed directly over him, and it fell on Chu Jingxing blatantly for the first time.
Chu Jingxing noticed her eyes, turned his head suddenly, and looked at each other.
He frowned.
The little girl who just arrived at the end of the day, why did her eyes be so ...... Sad?
Luo Qianxue lowered her head and smiled, and when she looked up again, she had already changed to a bright smile, "It's not convenient to say for the time being." ”
Concubine Jing smiled, "The little girl is really eccentric, I'm embarrassed." She deliberately teased, and said matter-of-factly: "But a good son must strike first, you have to tell me earlier, so that I can help you ask for marriage." ”
Luo Qianxue smiled sweetly and thanked Concubine Jing for her kindness.
In fact, she just felt that this was her first meeting with Chu Jingxing, which meant that she wanted to marry him, she was afraid of scaring Chu Jingxing, so she should wait for more contact, cultivate feelings, and wait for the relationship to get closer, and everything will go naturally.
At the end of the ceremony, the guests stayed to eat, and Luo Qianxue returned to the room accompanied by Ah Chu.
Halfway through, someone suddenly stopped me in front of me.
"Light snow."
What a familiar name, what a familiar voice.
She saluted respectfully, "Third Highness." ”
Today's three princes, Chu Zichen.
Chu Jingxing's nephew.
But only two years younger than him.
"What are you doing?" He approached to help her up, but she avoided her.
His hand was empty, and the doubts in his heart were even worse, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" From the moment you entered the front hall, I found that you didn't even look at me, and you left after the ceremony, and you didn't talk to me, did I make you angry? You tell me, I apologize. ”
Look at this true feeling, if she hadn't died once in his hands, she really couldn't have imagined that Chu Zichen would be so good at acting.
"Your Highness's daughter, I'm just a courtier, please respect yourself."
"Don't make a fuss, where did I make you angry, you said it, can't I change it?"
He was still going to take her hand, but Luo Qianxue dodged again, "Did Your Highness misunderstand something?" You are the third prince, how dare I be angry with you? Also, please call me Miss Luo, Xiaoxue and the like are a little out of line, and it doesn't sound good for others to hear. ”
"Overstep? What is the transgression between you and me? ”
Chu Zichen couldn't understand what she was saying anymore.
"I'm going to get married, and if I don't know anything about your Highness, it will damage my reputation, and I ask Your Highness to keep your distance from me."
"What do you mean?" Chu Zichen's heart was half cold, "Do you still want to marry someone else?" ”
"What do you mean by 'still wanting'?" Luo Qianxue looked at him innocently with her eyes open, this expression was still learned from Luo Qianmeng, "It's my freedom to marry whoever I marry, is it possible that His Royal Highness the Third Highness has nothing to do, and even the marriage of one of my courtiers has to interfere?" ”
The implication is that you are not favored, idle, right?
