Chapter 223 Rumors

You always told me not to study too hard, and it was too bad. You said that eating well and sleeping well are more important when you are growing taller.

Only Ziqin will try his best to let me complete my homework.

 Sometimes I think, I am a prince, and I don’t need to take the scientific examination. I just understand the principles, so why bother to study hard?

After Ziqin found out, he ignored me for a long time. He didn't pay attention to me until I admitted my mistake and studied seriously.

 Zixun, Ziran and the others all follow me. Whatever I want to do, they will accompany me. Regardless of right or wrong, just indulge me.

Only Ziqin never allowed me to do anything extraordinary. If he becomes stubborn, I will be afraid of him.

 At that time, I disliked him very much. After being granted the title of king and opening a palace, I realized that Ziqin treated me really well. "

The wise king sat up straight, looked at the British Duke and said, "I have reminded my grandfather and my mother and concubine that we should treat Ziqin with sincerity, and we should not rely on our old age to show off, nor use our status to use power to suppress him. Ziqin will do this. Doesn’t make sense.

He likes the girl from the Hua family, so does he have bad intentions? Why confront him? How will the current situation end?

Grandfather often said that the Xian Prince’s Palace and the British Duke’s Palace were one body, with one being prosperous and the other suffering.

 The British government is the king’s maternal family and the king’s support.

 But what did the second uncle and Ziran do? What are Zixun's abilities? What can he do for this king?

Looking at the British government, only Ziqin can help me to some extent, but you always push him far away. What do you want me to do? "

The British Duke felt regretful, but when the wise king scolded him, he still couldn't lose face, his face turned red and he lowered his head.

“I thought that since he was a child, he has been the most knowledgeable about etiquette and etiquette. He has always understood the general situation and taken the overall situation into consideration. That’s why I decided to marry him..."

The wise king interrupted the British duke, "You always only think about him knowing the general situation. Have you ever thought that he would feel aggrieved? No..."

When the wise king said this, he suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.

The British Duke looked up at the wise king and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

The wise king thought for a while and said: "Zi Qin is not a person who cannot be wronged. It has been almost a month since the marriage to the Prime Minister's Palace was finalized. Why did Zi Qin break off the engagement at this juncture? What happened in the past two days?"

The British Duke looked at the wise king blankly and shook his head, "I am so worried about the affairs in the palace that I have no time to care about other things."

Xian Dynasty raised his voice at the door: "Here comes!"

Chengyun came in in response, bowed and said: "Your Majesty!"

The wise king ordered: "Let me go and check. Is there anything going on in Chengguo's mansion in the past two days?"

 Chengyun lowered his hands and exited the study.

“Wait a minute.” As soon as Cheng Yun retreated to the door, King Xian called out.

Chengyun stopped, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

The Xian Wang thought for a while and continued: "Let someone check if there is anything going on with Princess Yanran? Go down."

“Okay, I understand.” Chengyun stepped back.

The British duke didn’t quite understand what the wise king meant, so he asked: “Your Majesty, what is this?”

The wise king frowned slightly and said quietly: "Zi Qin is a man who can endure no matter how much wrong he suffers.

 But if someone he cares about is wronged, he will definitely take action.

 With Princess Yanran being the one he cares about most of the people in Chengguo's mansion now, one of them must have been offended. Otherwise, Ziqin would not be in a hurry to break off the engagement. "

 The wise king was in a trance. Once upon a time, he was also the person he protected. Since when did he become farther and farther away from him?

The British Duke nodded and said: "Your Majesty, we have to give an explanation to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Your Majesty, how should we handle this matter?"

The wise king shook his head with a headache and said: "This matter needs to be carefully considered. Please let me think about it. When does the king want my grandfather to reply?"

 The British Duke replied: "Within three days."

The wise king nodded and said, "I understand. I will go to the palace to see my mother-in-law and see what she wants. I will discuss it with my staff later. My grandfather will come back tomorrow."

The British Duke stood up and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for news from the prince."

 The next day, Lu Ziqin listened to Ruxuan's report in the study of Qing Keju, "Sir, the British Duke went to Prince Xian's mansion early this morning and talked with Prince Xian in the study for most of an hour.

 Subsequently, the British Duke came out of Prince Xian's Mansion and went to Zhongshu Province Yamen, where he sat with the Prime Minister for half an hour. After leaving, he went straight back to the British government. "

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "I understand, keep staring."

Ruxuan bowed and responded, "Okay, I understand."

After Ruxuan retreated, Lu Ziqin asked, "Has Ruji come back?"

Ru'an nodded, leaned back and said, "I came back at the end of Youyesterday, and I went to Mingyue Pavilion at the beginning of Mao today.

 As Ji said, the princess treated Mrs. Ping's eye disease the day before yesterday. In a few days, Mrs. Ping's eyes will be able to see.

Also, Bao'er's injury has improved a lot, so I don't have to worry. Ruji also said that the princess gave him many medical books. "

Lu Ziqin listened carefully and knew that Gu Huayu was doing well. His anxious heart calmed down, but then he felt disappointed again.

Lu Ziqin waved his hand, "You go down, I'll read a book."

 Ru'an bowed down and stepped back, lowering his hands.

After Ru'an left, Lu Ziqin picked up the book on the table and flipped through several pages without reading a single word.

Lu Ziqin got up upset, walked around the room, and then walked out.

Ru'an, who was waiting outside the door, saw him and asked, "Where are you going?"

 Lv Ziqin responded casually: "Go out for a walk."

 Ru'an immediately responded: "Okay, little one, go prepare the car."

“There’s no need to prepare a car, I’ll just walk around and not go far,” Lu Ziqin said.

Ru'an followed Lu Ziqin, "Okay, I'll go with you and stay with you."

 Lv Ziqin looked back at Ru'an and said, "Stay away from me. I want to be alone."

Ru'an muttered: "If I want to be alone, wouldn't it be better not to go out?"

Lu Ziqin glared at Ru'an, who quickly lowered his head.

Lu Ziqin walked forward, with Ru An following closely behind him. Lu Ziqin stopped and said, "Can't you stay away from me?"

Ru'an shook his head, "No, I don't know Kung Fu. These are extraordinary times, so I have to stay with you, little one."

Lu Ziqin saw that Ru An insisted on following, so he had no choice but to follow him.

Lu Ziqin came out of Qingkeju and wandered aimlessly on the street. He said he wanted to be alone, but in fact he was most afraid of being alone.

 When he is alone, all he thinks about is her. He misses her, but he's afraid that he won't be able to control himself and go find her...

Ru'an reached out and gave Lu Ziqin a hand, "Sir, be careful."

Lu Ziqin came to his senses and found that he almost hit a tree.

"Sir, do you miss the princess?" Ru'an asked, looking at Lu Ziqin who was in a daze.

Lu Ziqin glanced at Ru'an but didn't look back at him and continued walking forward.

Ru'an followed behind and said, "If I miss the princess, just go and have a look. Don't let the princess know, just look at it from a distance."

 Lv Ziqin stopped and asked, "Do you know where Xiaoyu is now?"

 Ru'an shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Lu Ziqin looked at Bai Ruan with disgust, "No one knows where it is, how can I see it?"

 Ru'an defended: "Let people go and find out..."

Lu Ziqin shook his head to stop him and said, "No, Xiaoyu has very good eyesight and ears. We haven't seen her yet, but she has seen her, which annoys her again."

Ru'an came up with an idea: "If the princess sees it, I will just say that I am passing by. Isn't this what I taught you before?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "No, I don't want to tell lies in front of Xiaoyu."

"Sixth Master, our prince is here to invite you." Lu Ziqin turned around and saw Qian Jun, the guard beside King Chen, bowing his hands to him in greeting.

 Lv Ziqin found that he had reached the gate of Yifuyuan in Zhouqiao.

Yifuyuan is the property of King Chen.

Lu Ziqin looked up and saw King Chen standing in front of the window looking at him. When he saw him looking up, King Chen smiled and nodded.

Lu Ziqin cupped his hands, turned back his gaze and said to Qian Jun: "It's better to meet by chance than to meet him. Please ask Qian Jun to lead the way."

Qian Jun leaned forward and said, "Master Liu, please."

Lu Ziqin followed Qian Jun to the private room on the second floor. King Chen greeted him at the door and said with a smile: "Ziqin is in such a good mood that he has time to go shopping."

After Lu Ziqin bowed his hands to King Chen in greeting, he replied with a smile: "I am studying at home. I feel dizzy from reading. I came out to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to meet the prince."

King Chen smiled and said, "That's because you don't come to this area of ​​Zhouqiao much. I always come here to sit here every now and then. If Ziqin comes to this area, we should meet each other often. Come, let's sit here."

 King Chen smiled easily, and while leading Lu Ziqin to the soft couch, he turned around and ordered: "Let them make a pot and bring up the melon slices."

Lu Ziqin said hurriedly: "No need to bother, I can make any kind of tea."

Wang Chen said with a smile: "You are lucky today. A few days ago, my sister sent someone a can of melon slices. My sister said it was this year's new tea and the best melon slices."

Lu Ziqin bowed and thanked him, "I'm so flattered!"

The two of them sat down. Jiexiu, the young man next to King Chen, came in with tea. King Chen took the tea and sent it to Lu Ziqin.

Lu Ziqin hurriedly bowed to express his thanks, picked it up, took a sip, and said, "Good tea."

 Wang Chen waited for Lu Ziqin to put down his teacup and asked, "Ziqin said he was studying at the University of Science and Technology. Are you planning to take the scientific examination?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, I plan to give it a try next year."

King Chen nodded, "That's a good idea! Now that you've made up your mind, prepare well. I'll use tea instead of wine to wish you a gold medal."

Lu Ziqin then raised his glass to express his thanks. The two of them talked politely as usual.

 Several princes are similar in age. King Chen is half a year older than King Xian and half a year younger than King Jin. Several princes were enlightened at the same time.

 The mother-in-law of King Chen was of low status and cautious in handling affairs. When King Chen was studying in Nan Shufang, he was also restrained and forbearing.

Lü Ziqin likes King Chen's non-competitive nature. When someone embarrasses King Chen, Lü Ziqin will come forward to defend him. King Chen will remember Lü Ziqin's feelings in his heart and treat Lü Ziqin a little more politely than others.

 Lv Ziqin sat in Yifuyuan for most of an hour and stood up to say goodbye.

 King Chen sent Lu Ziqin to the door of the restaurant, and Lu Ziqin held his hands to say goodbye.

Coming out of Yifuyuan, Ru'an said: "Sir, I just received the news that people from the Prime Minister's Palace have gone to the British Duke's Palace to cancel the engagement."

 Lv Ziqin stopped and turned to look at Ru'an, "Are you sure?"

Ru'an leaned forward and said, "I'm sure. It's said that the old lady Shangguan of the prime minister's office asked the master to test the horoscopes of the master and the third lady Wang. She said that the horoscopes of the master and the third lady conflicted, and the two were not a good match."

Ru'an told Lu Ziqin what he had heard.

After hearing this, Lu Ziqin smiled and nodded: "If the eight characters are in conflict, they are not a good match. This one is very good. Let's go!"

Seeing Lu Ziqin walking forward, Ru'an hurriedly caught up and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

 “Shopping!” Lu Ziqin replied casually.

 Ru'an asked: "Isn't this just a stroll? Where else should we go?"

 Lv Ziqin replied in a good mood: "Let's go to Taoyuan Street."

 Ru'an, with a look of understanding, replied: "Oh, I understand, I want to go to Huayu Pavilion, right? The fragrant dew of Huayu Pavilion is very good..."

 Lv Ziqin turned to look at Ru'an, "You talk a lot!"

Ru'an replied with a silly smile: "Sir, this is a bit far from Taoyuan Street. Let's take a car there."

 Lv Ziqin readily agreed, he was eager to see her.

 Ru'an hailed a car and ordered him to go to Taoyuan Street.

The coachman is a good person. Along the way, he talked to the two of them about the divorce of the engagement at the British Prime Minister's Palace.

 “The conflicting characters are just an excuse. People like Wang Xiang have already become immortals.

With the recent scandals in the British government, the Prime Minister is naturally unwilling to marry his precious granddaughter. "

Ruan wanted the coachman to shut up, but Lu Ziqin stopped him with his eyes.

The coachman was driving in front and could not see the expressions of the two of them. He continued to talk nonstop: "The Prime Minister's office broke off the engagement. In addition to the scandal caused by the British government and being punished by the emperor, there is also a rumor. Have you heard about it?"

Ruan looked at Lu Ziqin, and Lu Ziqin nodded towards him.

 Ru'an asked: "Old man, you know so much, what are the rumors? Tell me."

The coachman responded politely: "As a young man, I walk around the streets and alleys of the capital all day long, so I hear and see a lot."

  There was a bit of pride in the driver's words.

 Ru'an nodded in agreement, "That's right. If you travel around the streets like this, you will naturally be well-informed. What rumors are you talking about?"

The coachman smiled and said: "These days, there have been rumors in teahouses and restaurants that the sixth master of the British government has been sick since childhood and is very weak, so he has not proposed marriage.

 Otherwise, Mr. Liu would have gotten married long ago.

He also said that Wang Xiang was very cruel. For the sake of the future of his children and grandchildren, he pushed his granddaughter into the fire pit regardless of her happiness. "

Ru'an didn't understand, and asked dully: "How come marrying Mr. Liu is like jumping into a pit of fire?"

The coachman said: "You, a young man, are unmarried and have never experienced human affairs. Naturally, you cannot understand what I am saying.

The rumor means that Mr. Liu has been sick since he was a child and his body is very weak. He is afraid that he is inhumane.

Think about it, if the sixth master is really inhumane, what if the wife of the prime minister marries him if he doesn't jump into a pit of fire? "

 The driver laughed as he explained.

 Ru'an secretly glanced at his grandfather and saw that Mr. Liu's face was ashen and his fists were clenched.

Ru'an wanted to laugh but didn't dare, her face turned red from holding it in.

The coachman, unaware of the situation in the carriage, continued: "Think about it, it's inhumane. What's the difference between marrying Miss Wang San and being a widow..."

Lu Ziqin shouted: "Stop!"

The driver stopped the car, turned around and asked, "Aren't you two going to Taoyuan Street? We haven't arrived yet, why do we have to stop?"
