Chapter 330: Frightened
The Nine Kings Mansion is large and luxurious.
But there is an indescribable feeling, as if it is a dying old tree, lifeless.
Even if today's high-ranking friends are full of people coming and going, it is not lively, but the people in the Nine Kings Mansion still have a forced smile and an indifferent attitude.
Of course, this is the result of Qin Coward's deliberate observation.
Qin Xun and Xiao Chenyu were separated as soon as they entered, the male guests were in the outer courtyard, and the female guests went to the inner courtyard.
Isn't the child of Lord Yaoxiang holding a 100-day banquet today? What is the reason why this Nine Kings' Mansion is so deserted?
Qin Xun followed the people around, but it became more and more remote, Qing Gu and Li Siniang got closer, and they couldn't help but be a little nervous, especially Qing Gu, after being injured last time, his courage became smaller, like a frightened bird, very easily frightened.
Qin Xun regretted a little, he should have brought Qingqian here, and let Qinggu take care of it at home.
Li Siniang patted Qinggu on the shoulder, signaling her not to panic, Qinggu realized that she had lost her temper, so she showed an apologetic and mischievous smile to Li Siniang, in order to hide the panic in her eyes.
After entering a hanging flower door, I walked through the long verandah, and finally stopped in front of a carved door.
After the maid who led the way stopped, she deliberately glanced at Qin Xun, and was surprised and admired that she had never asked her more about where she was going.
If others were like this, I am afraid that they would have asked questions a long time ago, and such a calm woman is rare.
"Later, the slave and maid will go in and say goodbye." After speaking, facing Qin Qianfu's body, he turned around and pushed the door in.
Later, the maid came out and stood outside the door before making a gesture of invitation to Qin Xun: "Madam, the prince is invited." ”
The voice was soft, but it was like a summer hurricane, which instantly swept away Qin Coriander's calmness.
Qin Xun was stunned for a long time, and the fingernails shrunk in the wide sleeves pinched into the palms of his hands, and there was a burst of pain, which woke Qin Xun up.
She took a deep breath, and she was at ease.
Now, whether she is dead or alive, she can only resign herself to fate, her cleverness and those methods, in the current situation, should be useless.
Countless moments, countless nights when dreaming back, Qin Xun remembered those eyes, the threat brought by those eyes that he couldn't see clearly had been bothering Qin Xun, was it finally coming?
Qin Xun raised his feet and walked in, Li Siniang and Qing Gu behind him were stopped, Qin Xun turned his head, and when he saw that the two of them were anxious, he shook his head and tried to smile easily: "You guys are waiting here." ”
The ninth prince is more than sixty, he is sitting on a brocade kang, holding a chess piece in his hand and playing chess alone.
There is a charcoal basin burning in the house, which should be a precious incense charcoal, with a faint fragrance, which is very comfortable.
There was a man standing next to the kang with a dustbrush, and it seemed that he should be a eunuch.
The maid led Qin Xun over and went out quietly.
Qin Xun saw that there was a futon in the middle, and knew that it was for her to bow and kowtow.
Then he stepped forward, knelt down on the futon, made a great salute, and said that he would meet the king.
The Nine Princes didn't move, nor did they speak, and Qin Xun's heart began to fall to the bottom again.
Looks like that's not friendly!
After another moment, the Nine Princes coughed, and the stagnant air seemed to flow suddenly.
The father-in-law stepped forward, helped Qin Xun falsely, and politely asked her to get up.
When Qin Xun got up, she found that her knees were a little sore, and it seemed that she knelt for a long time, but because she was too nervous, she didn't think about how long the time had passed.
"Lift your head up and let me see!" The Nine Princes suddenly spoke, but his words were very uncomfortable.
However, Qin Xun learned to recognize the times as a handsome man very early, so he endured the discomfort in his heart, raised his head, and quickly glanced at the Nine Princes, without looking carefully, he lowered his eyes, and only fell on the black shoes embroidered with the four-clawed dragon pattern on the side of the kang.
But the gaze that fell on Qin Xun's face was impossible to ignore, and it was even more unbearable than the first gaze.
Qin Qian tried his best to calm himself, and even his breathing slowed down.
But her nervousness still couldn't escape the eyes of the two opposites.
The father-in-law smiled and played a round game: "Lord Wang, let Second Mrs. Xiao sit down and talk!" ”
"Well, sit down!"
These words are like a gift, and it is indeed a gift, Qin Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, and he wanted to sit down, what did he want to do?
"The women haven't thanked you yet, the last time the Nine Princes saved their lives"
Qin Xun was unwilling to be passive all the time, and took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and he was less timid when life and death were put aside.
"How are you going to repay me?" The Nine Princes asked in a deep voice, but it was not difficult to hear the pleasure and ridicule in his words.
"Eh" How can Qin Xun repay him, it's just a verbal gratitude, the congratulatory gifts that came today are all for the Liu family, and the things in her hands can get into the eyes of the Nine Kings Mansion?
"Hehehe, Ah Fu, look, is she just like her?" The ninth prince suddenly said an ambiguous word to his father-in-law beside him, and even said it with a smile.
Gonggong Fu echoed and laughed twice, and said: "It's a little similar, temperament, appearance, hehehe, it's a little similar!" ”
Qin Xun frowned unconsciously, who is she like?
Could it be that he brought himself here because he was like the old man of the Nine Princes? Come to see people?
Qin Xun was like sitting on pins and needles, and when she saw the two of them laughing, she didn't dare to answer and laugh.
Immediately, I heard the Ninth Lord restrain his laughter and said lightly: "It's a pity, it's still far behind!" ”
Qin Xun thought, is this saying that he is not as good as the old man of the Nine Princes?
Isn't this for sure, how can I compare with the sweetheart of the Nine Princes?
Sweetheart?
Qin Xun was startled by the word that suddenly appeared in his mind, but when he thought about it, if he wasn't his sweetheart, what could he be so obsessed with?
Qin Qian straightened his back, crossed his hands on his thighs, his eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled, looking like a bodhisattva with kind eyebrows in the temple.
Of course, in the eyes of the Nine Princes, he pretended to be calm.
"Qin Xun, if I promise you three conditions, are you willing to reconcile with Xiao Chenyu and then move to this palace to live?"
Qin Xun raised his head suddenly, and left? Coming to live in the Nine Kings' Mansion?
Qin Xun panicked, was she favored by the Nine Princes?
With a plop, Qin Xun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground: "Lord Wang, there are mothers and children in the family, and I really can't accept the love of the prince." ”
The prince's voice was slightly cold, and his faint voice carried an invisible coercion: "Your mother and son can bring the palace, this huge palace is just a little less popular." ”
Qin Xun's body trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "I ask the prince to be fulfilled, and the women are unwilling to reconcile with their husbands." ”
"Your husband is too low to be worthy of you. Don't worry, I can help him smooth sailing and prosperous official fortune, maybe he will only be grateful to you. ”
"I ask the prince to become a wife of the whole people, and the women and husbands are one and the same, and they will never want our family for the sake of the future."
