Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 39 I will not marry

From a distance, Hua Rong was waiting at the door, looking around.

Feeling warm in my heart, I strode over: "Sister..."

Hua Rong said softly: "Ninth Prince is hosting a banquet tonight, and sent someone to invite us to go early. You are back, let's go now."

After hearing this, Yue Pengju didn't make a sound. He had no interest in the Ninth Prince's banquet, and just followed his sister silently.He saw that his sister had already changed into a suit of clothes. The outside was an ordinary man's armor, and the inside was a blue shirt. Such ordinary clothes looked very good-looking on her body, exuding a feminine heroism and charm. When she smiled, The lips are so soft; when looking at people, the warm and gentle color in the eyes is almost impossible to stare at.

His heart was pounding, Hua Rong smiled and pulled him: "Let's go, don't keep the Ninth Prince waiting."

He followed her, as if he was about to attend a grand banquet.

The banquet venue is not in Daying, but in the Ninth Prince's side hall.Obviously after some decoration, it looks very elegant.There were only two siblings as guests, and Xu Caizhi stood by, with a very respectful and friendly attitude.After meeting Yue Pengju today, he came back and reported to the Ninth Prince, saying that Yue Pengju had no objection and wanted his sister to make the decision.The Ninth Prince was very happy. Originally, he didn't intend to seek Yue Pengju's opinion, but only listened to Hua Rong's thoughts from the side.So, I am very satisfied with this answer.

The Ninth Prince sat up first, and his siblings accompanied him on both sides.After coming to the military camp for so long, it was the first time for Hua Rong to have dinner with the Ninth Prince, and seeing that there were only two guests at the banquet, both siblings felt a little uneasy.

The Ninth Prince smiled and said: "We have known each other for many years, but we have never got together like this. Today, we finally have this opportunity. We must have a drink."

"Thank you, Lord."

"You're welcome, this king has always treated you siblings as friends, just drink to your heart's content."

My siblings were born in commoner clothes, and they should be happy to receive the hospitality of the prince, but both of them feel very uncomfortable.The Ninth Prince persuaded him to drink for a while, the three of them drank several times, Hua Rong stopped drinking, and then, the Ninth Prince graciously served vegetables, which made Hua Rong even more at a loss, and just ate blindly.

After the banquet was finally over, the Ninth Prince brought out a Jiaoweiqin, "Miss, can you understand the sound of the piano?"

"Hua Rongyu is not proficient in rhythm, so he dare not make a fool of himself."

The Ninth Prince smiled and nodded, and stroked a song by himself first, but when he heard the high mountains and flowing water, it was so beautiful, Hua Rong said in his heart, this Ninth Prince is indeed one of the dragons and phoenixes among all the princes. It is also outstanding, it can be described as No.1 of the royal family.

"Solo is very boring, please ask the girl to play a piece, and Xiao Wang will also be an audience."

Hua Rong couldn't help it. Although she had her father to teach me the music when she was young, she didn't focus on it. She only played one piece reluctantly. The Ninth Prince is an expert in rhythm. Although the piano is not top-notch, the person who plays the piano is sincere , quite moving.Thinking about this woman, she is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and she can also comprehend the melody. Looking at her bowing her head and playing the piano with her bare hands, the more she looks at her, the more beautiful she feels.

At the end of the song, he let out a long sigh: "If there is no war, red sleeves will add beauty, and plain hands will play the piano, how wonderful it is?"

Yue Pengju glanced inadvertently, and saw that he was looking at his sister with burning eyes.Although he had been a soldier for a long time and didn't understand the situation, the Ninth Prince's eyes were too fierce, and these words couldn't be more obvious.

Looking at Hua Rong again, Hua Rong didn't meet the Ninth Prince's gaze, but raised his hand to his forehead and bowed respectfully: "Thank you Ninth Prince for the meal, it's getting late, Hua Rong will leave."

The Ninth Prince wanted to stay again, but seeing her soft and firm eyes as bright as morning stars, even though he had seen countless women in his life, he couldn't help being moved, and couldn't bear to go against her intentions, and said softly: "You guys go back early Rest, these days are tiring for you too." Then he ordered Xu Caizhi, "Send a piece of the fresh fruit bestowed by the emperor to Miss Hua."

"Thank you, Lord."

He kept sending the two siblings out of the gate, seeing the distant figure, although wearing Tsing Yi, there was a kind of coquettishness in her graceful appearance.Xu Caizhi saw the two of them going away, stepped forward and said: "My lord, Yue Pengju is her only family member, and today is considered to be an announcement of the engagement. Why don't you give the betrothal gift as soon as possible while he is here, and let's get things done in the near future."

The Ninth Prince laughed loudly: "Hua Rong is very much in my king's favor. The army is sloppy and I don't want to wrong her. You have to prepare well. You have to prepare the etiquette of a side concubine and let her know my heart."

"Yes, my lord is wise."

Yue Pengju sent Hua Rong back first.Hua Rong poured him a cup of tea, seeing that his face was flushed, he was a little strange: "Pengju, what's the matter with you?"

Only then did he muster up his courage: "I met Xu Caizhi today, and he said that the Ninth Prince wanted to accept my sister as a side concubine..."

Hua Rong's face was also flushed red, he muttered, unable to speak, it turned out that the Ninth Prince's banquet tonight was a blind date in disguise, after informing his family, he just "decided" it?
"Sister, will you marry the Ninth Prince?"

"No, I don't want to at all. I won't marry him."

Yue Pengju patted his head, and suddenly laughed, so hearty and joyful, as if he heard a great happy event, he couldn't help but almost jumped up.

It was very strange for Hua Rong to see him in high spirits.Ever since he became an adult, when I saw him, he was very mature, dignified, unsmiling, and completely turned into a stable and mature young man. At this moment, why is he so abnormal?

"Pengju, what's the matter?"

The joyful laugh turned into a smile, and he looked at Hua Rong calmly: "Sister, since you don't want to, then leave Xiangzhou."

Hua Rong sighed, "Where can I go?"

"Come with me."

She was taken aback.It was the first time I heard a man say "Follow me!" in such a firm and powerful tone.

"Sister, let's leave here first, and I will find a place to settle you down, and I will never let you be displaced again."

She laughed, very happy, as if a ray of bright sunshine had shone into her heart, and she was bathed in the fragrance of spring, her future was bright.

Yue Pengju looked at her nervously, and he didn't know why she was so happy, let alone what decision she had in mind, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, and his palms were sweating.

"elder sister……"

"Okay, Pengju, I'll go with you. At the end of the world, we feel like home when our siblings are together. I really can't stay in this Xiangzhou. I'm here all day with nothing to do, and I can't help the Ninth Prince. Don't mention repaying him, it's just adding to his troubles. I've been thinking for a long time, maybe I can do something in a different environment. Besides, Brother Lu once invited me to his hometown and left me the address, at least living No worries."

Yue Pengju was overjoyed and rubbed his hands together: "It's really great. I've been out looking for King Qin's whereabouts for the past two days, but I haven't been able to find out the exact news. I'm just afraid that if I leave, he will trouble you. Now Well, I'm not afraid that he will find you again..."

She felt sour, and thought that he was out these few days looking for friends and socializing, but it turned out that he was looking for King Qin, and wanted to help her solve all the troubles before leaving.

For the first time, I realized a man's concern for himself, which is different from Ruda's concern, more nuanced and connected with each other.

She laughed and turned on the oil lamp: "Pengju, I will bid farewell to the Ninth Prince tomorrow and go with you."

"Sister, let me speak for you."

"Okay, let's go together."

Because of the decision, Hua Rong slept extraordinarily sweetly that night. In a daze, she felt that she had come to a vast grassland with birds singing and flowers scenting. She was galloping fast and carefree...

She had never had such a relaxing night since her family underwent drastic changes, as if she had the most solid support for her future.

The moon is as cool as water, and a group of patrolling soldiers are changing shifts.

Three men came in, one of them was very tall, wearing armor and carrying a spear.

Seeing him as a stranger, one of the rotating officers felt suspicious: "Who are you?"

A companion next to him quickly answered for him: "He is new here."

Recently, the battalion has been recruiting soldiers everywhere, and many new roving soldiers have come. Seeing that the two familiar soldiers looked familiar to him, the officer left without worrying about him.

As soon as he left, King Qin spat, took a spear, and looked around, Hua Rong, which courtyard is she in?

King Qin had originally bribed a guard under the Ninth Prince's tent to inquire about the situation, but Li Xing had been mediating for a long time, and the news he got was that the Ninth Prince would have a banquet for Yue Pengju and Hua Rong tonight. No matter what, there was no way to deceive Hua Rong. What's more, he was worried that the Ninth Prince would pursue him, so he repeatedly shirked and asked King Qin to wait and find the best time.

King Qin knew that Hua Rong was right under his nose, and his heart was like a cat's paw, how could he bear it?Regardless of Longtan and Tiger's Den, he disguised himself and was brought into the new barracks by the bribed guards.

Since the time of the Taizu of this dynasty, a sum of money has been accumulated by the state every year, and it is not allowed to be used. It has been accumulated into a rich treasury. It is hoped that one day, when all the money is gone, warriors will be recruited, and the large tracts of land in the north occupied by the Liao Kingdom will be captured. Especially when Yanyun Sixteen States took it back.Unexpectedly, the Khitan of the Liao Kingdom had not yet perished, and the rise of the Jin people was even more ferocious. The imperial court had no time to recruit troops, so they only recruited stragglers, street hooligans, and dispatched criminals to rush into the army.

Therefore, King Qin got in easily.Among the hundreds of recruits in the barracks, no one would have noticed him at first, but he was very tall and burly, and seemed to have a lot of strength, so he didn't dare to appear in the daytime to attract people's attention.

He took a long gun, looked around, and walked to a remote place. A person in the same group shouted: "Don't go, it's a forbidden area."

"What forbidden place?"

"That's the prince's tent."

He wished he could immediately find out that Lord Lao Shizi, but he forced himself to be patient and scolded, "Which building does that girl live in?"
The first ray of dawn has already appeared in the eastern sky, and there will be one more incense stick, and the shift will begin. After dawn, King Qin can't stay any longer.He was very anxious, but when he entered Baoshan, he returned empty-handed, and he would spurt blood when he thought of it.

From a distance, there was a "whoosh", and he said, "Not good, there is a situation."

It was the same person who scolded him, and said again: "It's rare to see, this is a person who does morning exercises."
