Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 34
At the desk, Jing Chun sat next to Jiang Hejin, and opposite was Lu Peishan.

At this time, the looks in everyone's eyes were the most noteworthy, especially Lu Peishan's look of wanting to eat Jing Chun.

This scene is comparable to the Shura field...

Jiang Hejin lowered his eyebrows and said, "This Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Zhilu, is the youngest granddaughter of Mr. Lu Peishan."

Lu Zhi's reputation in Yan Kingdom is still there, and he is also a veteran of the three dynasties. Even when the emperor comes, he has to give up three parts.

Lu Peishan then smiled, staring at Jing Chun and replied: "A few days ago, my grandfather was talking about the begonias that Brother Li Wang had planted, and they have bloomed now. Brother Li Wang should visit often when he is free."

Jiang Hejin nodded and said: "The wedding is coming, and everyone in the palace has to make arrangements. I'm afraid there won't be time."

Any fool could hear Jiang Hejin's refusal, but Lu Peishan said with a sincere face: "Then I'll wait for Brother Li Wang to be free."

Jiang Hejin sneered without a trace, there was already a bit of disgust in his eyes, but when he faced Lu Peishan, he had a kind face.

It was this disdainful smile that made Jing Chun feel that Jiang Hejin's city was unfathomable.

"When you are free, it should be the end of the wedding period. If the flowering period is still there," Jiang Hejin took Jing Chun's hand, and said with an affectionate look, "Shan'er doesn't mind if the king takes one more person?"

Who else could this person be?Isn't it Jing Chun?

Jing Chun could only smile in embarrassment, because he pushed her out to block the gun.

She could pick out a villa with her toes in this kind of love talk, but she could only cooperate.

Lu Peishan glanced at Jing Chun with a slight reproach, her complexion naturally couldn't get any better, she forced a smile and said, "Of course I don't mind."

Afterwards, Jiang Hejin seemed to be deliberately reminding, saying: "The wedding with Miss Jing is on the sixth day of next month, and Shan'er will come over for a wedding drink."

"That's natural. I have known Brother Li Wang since we were young. We are childhood sweethearts. If Brother Li Wang doesn't invite me, I will be angry. After all, no one knows Brother Li Wang better than me."

After saying this, Lu Peishan stared at Jing Chun closely, with a condescending attitude in her eyes, which undoubtedly made Jing Chun retreat.

It seems that a new generation of understanding king was born.

Jing Chun could only smile and said quietly: "In that case, I have to have a good chat with Miss Lu more often. Your Highness usually only gives me some things, and he always puts them in my heart." , I also want to give him something, but I don’t know what he likes, and I have no idea. When the time comes, Miss Lu will help me take care of him. "

Lu Peishan also didn't expect that Jing Chun could be so calm, and she didn't lose any sense of proportion in terms of appearance or behavior. Lu Peishan could only pinch the corners of her clothes tightly when she was angry.

Seeing this, Jiang Hejin only added to his anger and said, "Even if it is a gift from you, there is no need to rely on my preference. Just let it be what you have in mind."

Jiang Hejin had a gentle appearance in front of outsiders, so he added an affectionate label.

Well, you’ve already taken the title.

Jing Chun smiled slightly, but actually there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile. If this person didn't become an actor, it would be a derogation of his talents.

Only Lu Peishan was so angry that her teeth were itching, she really didn't expect it, didn't it mean that she chose a portrait of a pockmarked face at that time, how could she have a fair face?
Lu Peishan was secretly dissatisfied, but she didn't show it easily. She forced a smile and said: "Reciprocity is still necessary. Sister Jing has been away from the capital for a long time, so naturally she still needs to be familiar with the principle of reciprocity. However, I am curious. With Sister Jing being like this As a young lady, why was she fostered in Gusu since she was a child?"

The fact that Jing Chun was fostered in Suzhou was not news, but Lu Peishan mentioned it.

Doesn't this make it clear that Jing Chun's identity will be suppressed?
Jing Chun didn't mean to hide it, and said bluntly: "When I was young, my family asked an old man to do the math for me. He said it was unlucky, so I was fostered at my aunt's house in Gusu until I was 17 years old."

Lu Peishan obviously got the answer she wanted. She looked at Jiang Hejin with deep meaning and pretended to be surprised: "Ah! Ominous? That won't have any impact on Brother Li Wang..."

"It's a coincidence that Qin Tianjian calculated that I and Miss Jing are a perfect match."

Jing Chun still paused for a moment, since he was counted as ill-fated since he was a child, now that there is such a person who can say a word for him, Jing Chun is somewhat contented.

Lu Peishan's smile froze immediately, "That, that's naturally good..."

Lu Peishan also did not expect such an answer, but she refused to give up, and continued: "I envy Sister Jing, she is quite comfortable after returning to Beijing, and she can still be with Brother Li Wang, unlike me, my grandfather always comes out on weekdays. If you are worried, you have to send more than a dozen people to wait on them, in the final analysis, it is grandfather who is worried about those servants, and in the past when he traveled with Brother Li Wang, his grandfather might not be so loud."

Jing Chun is not a fool, so he can hear Lu Zhi's trust in Jiang Hejin. What he said reveals Lu Peishan's previous friendship with Jiang Hejin. It's a pity that Jing Chun is now accompanying Jiang Hejin.

Jing Chun pushed the pastry in front of Jiang Hejin calmly, his eyes were full of tenderness, he looked at Jiang Hejin with a smile, and said, "I have also been honored by His Highness, if His Highness hadn't brought me out today, I wouldn't have done that." Blessing? If there is a chance, I will inform Miss Lu when I travel with His Highness Li Wang in the future, how about the trip?"

"Of course it's good..." Lu Peishan obviously didn't understand Jing Chun's polite words, and she agreed.

Jing Chun didn't expect that Lu Peishan would actually agree, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. If he could help these two people, maybe Jing Chun would be able to escape...

Jiang Hejin seemed to have sensed something, and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for Miss Jing to go back."

Jing Chun wished to leave early, she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Lu Peishan's eyes lit up when she heard this. This was a good opportunity to be alone with Jiang Hejin. How could Lu Peishan let it go so easily? She straightened her body again and said, "Shan'er still wants to eat snacks from the teahouse, so I won't send Sister Jing away."

This is called "sister"?

"Then Shan'er is good to eat raw, I will send Miss Jing back to the mansion."

After saying that, Jiang Hejin crossed the table and stood up as Jing Chun. Even Jing Chun himself didn't react and was invisibly carried downstairs by Jiang Hejin's steps.

"Wait..." Lu Peishan wanted to stop her, but how could the two of them give her a chance? As soon as they had the opportunity, she went downstairs and pretended not to hear.

After leaving the teahouse, Jing Chun breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his body. The last time he put on airs was in his dissertation defense.

Just as Jing Chun was about to leave, Jiang Hejin called him into the carriage.

Jing Chun stared at this frightening move, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, you want me to take a carriage?"

Jiang Hejin didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and said, "Come up."

Jing Chun also glanced at the second floor. Lu Peishan was muttering and staring at the situation below. This was the rhythm of the show to the end. Jing Chun had to sit in this car even if he didn't want to.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jing Chun and Jiang Hejin are undoubtedly a pair of people made in heaven. It is best to be enviable, and what Jiang Hejin wants to do is exactly that. What he needs is to tell the whole world that the princess he has chosen I like it very much, even if I chose it blindfolded.

Jing Chun also had no choice but to extend his hand, and they paused slightly when they met each other. It seemed that this contact was more touching than the deliberate performance just now.

Jiang Hejin's hands were very cold, or it could be said to be a kind of warmth, but the bones were clear and the palms were white and wide, as if they wanted to wrap their hands.

The two of them glanced at each other, seeming to be aroused by the inadvertent move.

After getting into the carriage, Jing Chun silently withdrew his hand back, just now his heart felt as if it had been touched by an ice cube, it was cold and numb...

Jiang Hejin asked, "Going back to Jingfu?"

"Yes." Jing Chun nodded, and then thought of something again, and asked, "Your Highness leaves Miss Lu alone in the teahouse? Isn't this inconsistent with your usual personality?"

"Why are you worried about this?"

Jing Chun smiled. Jiang Hejin was too guarded, and ordinary people couldn't say a few words of confidence. If he didn't explain the reason, how could he have a good face, and it would even arouse his suspicion.

"I'm just a little curious. His Highness Prince Li is so willing to give up?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"I am willing to give up such a flowery and jade-like young lady, and she is also Lu Zhi's granddaughter. With her background and power, she is a thousand times better than a painter's daughter."

Jiang Hejin raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? Didn't you say that being a woman means not underestimating yourself? Now you're starting to envy her again?"

Jing Chun said with a faint smile: "My daughter is not envious of others, but I really can't figure out the reason why His Royal Highness Li Wang chose me as a concubine? It's not that the chance of His Royal Highness choosing me as a concubine is small, but because of His Highness Li Wang. Character and wealth, the matchmaker is afraid that the threshold of Prince Li's mansion will be crushed. I don't believe that His Royal Highness Li Wang has no one in his heart? Taking a step back, even if His Royal Highness Li Wang has no favorites, it is necessary to use the female family members of all officials. There are many good-looking people and people with family background in choosing wives for portraits. In order to find a wife you like, why do you have to choose the artist blindfolded for the reason of accepting bribes? ?”

"What do you want to say?"

"His Royal Highness Li Wang has a high position and authority, a high mountain looks up to him, and goodness is like water. It is not difficult to choose a woman who is both talented and beautiful, and the right family. Or is it that His Royal Highness deliberately chose a Li Wangfei who has no external support? Especially The eldest daughter of the Jing family who has been fostered outside for many years and has no connection with the various forces in the capital..."

Jing Chun was right. Jiang and Jin chose Jing Chun not by chance, but by necessity.

As Jiang Hejin, he was the younger brother of the emperor's mother. He needed to do something to lower his sense of existence and find an innocent wife.

Jing Chun is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. She has been fostered in Gusu for a long time, which is equivalent to being cut off from the capital. This makes her a neglected candidate for Princess Li in the Queen Mother's heart, and her family background is not in line with the capital. Party affiliation would naturally reassure the emperor.

This is not choosing a wife, but a political avoidance!
Jiang Hejin stared at Jing Chun in front of him, with a poisonous snake in his eyes, and said, "You are very smart."

Jing Chun smiled faintly and brushed off one side of her braid, "My little girl is not smart, but after being threatened by His Highness Prince Li that day, she thought about whether she could really become Princess Li who would not be concerned about her life or death by His Highness Prince Li. I carefully considered some of the reasons why His Royal Highness Prince Li is so determined that my daughter will be his concubine, and thought about it more."

Jiang Hejin gradually approached and said, "I was still wondering if it was a sheep? I didn't realize it was a fox."

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid he has classified the little girl as a fox in his heart?"

Otherwise, this face-changing stern look would never have happened to Jing Chun.

On the contrary, Jing Chun met Jiang Hejin's eyes, feeling quite oppressed, but said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect it, I thought it was a white crane, but it turned out to be a poisonous snake hiding its fangs."
