Chapter 273 Fearless

  King Qi returned to Prince Qi’s Mansion, got off the car and strode to the study room in rapid strides.

Li Cheng dismounted, threw the reins to his servants, and hurried to catch up.

The two of them entered the study one after another. Sun Ning brought tea and carefully placed it on the low table. He raised his head and looked at Li Cheng. Li Cheng waved to him, and Sun Ning hunched over and stepped back.

After King Qi walked around the study room twice irritably, he walked to the desk and sat down. As soon as he sat down, King Qi stood up irritably.

He said: "No, I have to go to the palace and ask my father to marry me."

Li Cheng hurriedly spoke to stop him: "Your Majesty, this is a critical period, so we must not be rash.

It is not too late to enter the palace calmly and thoughtfully before entering the palace. Do not rush into the palace and lose your manners in front of the emperor. "

 After listening to Li Cheng's words, King Qi calmed down a lot.

 He is the one who is going to inherit the throne, how can he lose his manners in front of his father?

  King Qi sat down again and said, "Qingchuan, you are right. I, the King, must not be impulsive and must think twice before acting."

Li Cheng was slightly relieved when he saw King Qi sitting down. He brought the teacup on the low table in front of the soft couch to the desk and said, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea first."

King Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He looked up at Li Cheng and said, "Qingchuan, you said that I will go to the palace to ask my father to marry me. Do you think my father will agree?" "

Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has reached the age of getting married early. Your Majesty asked the Emperor for a marriage, and the Emperor was naturally happy.

But the important thing about marriage is to marry two surnames. In addition to the permission of the emperor and the empress, the prince also needs the permission of the other party. "

The King of Qi said: "Does the other party agree? Looking at the capital, how many families want to marry their daughters into the Prince of Qi's palace? I am a noble prince and marry her as a princess. Shouldn't she be grateful?"

Li Cheng nodded, "If it were an ordinary family, and they knew that the prince was willing to marry his daughter as the princess, the whole family would definitely be filled with joy.

 Because they knew how much glory their daughter would bring to the entire family if she married into Prince Qi's palace.

 But Princess Yanran is different..."

 The King of Qi interrupted Li Cheng and asked, "What's the difference?"

 Li Cheng has long been accustomed to King Qi's quick temper. He said: "Princess Yanran has no parents and no brothers."

 “Isn’t there also Hua Ruiming?”

Li Cheng shook his head and said: "After Princess Yanran's life story was revealed, Mrs. Liu and Hua Ruiming both came to pick up Princess Yanran. They wanted to take Princess Yanran to live in Hua Mansion, but Princess Yanran refused.

We don’t understand why Princess Yanran rejected Hua Ruiming’s invitation, but one thing is certain. That is because Princess Yanran does not want to have too much contact with Hua Ruiming.

Princess Yanran is unwilling to associate with the current Hua Mansion, so how can she care about whether the Hua Mansion is glorious? "

King Qi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Didn't her adoptive parents come to the capital with her? It is said that the Gu family treated her very well, so she didn't want the Gu family to be glorious?"

Li Cheng shook his head slightly, "It can be seen from the Gu family's attitude towards Princess Yanran that this family is generous and compassionate.

 Such families do not have high material requirements. They pay more attention to inner things and care about their children's feelings. This is how Princess Yanran develops a high-spirited, free and uninhibited temperament.

Nowadays, Princess Yanran is the princess. At home, she is afraid that Princess Yanran will do whatever she says and follow Princess Yanran’s wishes in everything.

What's more, Gu Jiaben is a commoner, he doesn't have much experience, and he doesn't know much about power. "

King Qi thought for a while and said, "According to your wishes, this marriage requires Yanran's personal nod."

Li Cheng nodded, "This is how I see it. If the prince wants to marry Princess Yanran as his concubine, he needs Princess Yanran to nod in agreement before he can ask the emperor for marriage."

"I can't persuade my father to issue an edict directly? My father has issued an edict, how can she not obey it?"

Li Cheng looked at King Qi but did not reply.

King Qi waved his hand and said: "I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously. Tell me, what should I do? Only Yanran is willing to marry me."

Li Cheng shook his head, "Little girls like Princess Yanran, I really don't know what they want."

 King Qi circled around the room again. After a few circles, King Qi turned to look at Li Cheng and said, "Qingchuan, let someone go and find out what Yanran likes?

This king can't lose to Lu Liu anymore. Also, I want to send Lu Liu out and don't want him to stay in the capital. "

Li Cheng leaned forward and said: "It is not impossible to let Ziqin leave the capital. However, Ziqin is currently preparing for the exam and is preparing to end up next year. If you want Ziqin to leave the capital, you have to wait until after the scientific examination.

 With Ziqin’s knowledge, he will definitely be a high school student. After Ziqin went to high school, I just wanted to entrust him with a foreign job. "

 King Qi murmured: "There is still half a year left for the scientific examination...

 This king will tolerate him for half a year.

Hurry and send people to inquire about Yanran’s daily preferences. The more detailed the better, and ask them to report them every day and report them all to me.

By the way, Brother Tao and Yanran are on good terms. Let Brother Tao go look for Yanran more and then report the itinerary. "

  King Qi immediately became energetic when he thought that Li Tao and Gu Huayu were close.

Li Cheng leaned forward and said, "I'll tell Brother Tao when I get back."

King Qi wiped away his previous bad mood and said: "I need to go into the palace to discuss this matter with my mother and concubine. You can explain it to me and go find out Yanran's preferences as soon as possible.

 Lao Wu now has the support of the Wang Xiangfu, and he has already overwhelmed me in the situation. The marriage between me and Hua Yanran needs to be settled as soon as possible. "

Li Cheng wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally swallowed his words, leaned forward and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ruxuan drove the car to the backyard of Chang'an Restaurant, turned around and said to Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei in the car: "Princess, the third lady is here."

Gu Huayu opened the curtain and jumped out of the car, looked around and asked, "Are we here at Chang'an Restaurant?"

Ruxuan leaned forward and said, "Yes, I ordered you to come here first."

Shopkeeper Miao rushed over after hearing the news, bowed to Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei and said, "Hello, Princess, hello Third Miss. The private room is ready. The uncle just arrived. Princess and Third Miss, please come here."

 Shi Yamei asked in surprise: "Ming Hao is here too?" She was also worried that it would be awkward to face Gu Huayu and Lu Liu alone.

Shopkeeper Miao leaned back and said, "Yes, I came over as soon as I got off the office."

As soon as Shopkeeper Miao finished speaking, Ye Minghao's voice sounded at the door, "Yamei, Princess."

Gu Huayu returned the courtesy to Ye Minghao and said, "You two go to the private room first, I'll wait for Brother Ziqin here."

Shi Yamei wanted to wait with her, but was pulled away by Ye Minghao.

Gu Huayu waited for less than half a quarter of an hour and saw Qingyu hurried into the backyard.

Lu Ziqin got out of the car and saw Gu Huayu standing on the porch looking at him with a smile. He walked over a few steps and asked, "Why are you standing here on such a hot day?"

Gu Huayu looked up at Lu Ziqin and replied, "Waiting for you!"

Lu Ziqin took the handkerchief from Gu Huayu's hand and wiped her sweat. He said warmly: "It's hot outside, just wait for me inside."

 Gu Huayu shook her head and said, "It's different. I want you to be able to see me as soon as you get out of the car."

Lu Ziqin was warmed by Gu Huayu's words. He pinched the tip of her nose and said dotingly: "You're so good! Let's go in." After saying that, Lu Ziqin reached out to hold Gu Huayu's hand.

Gu Huayu nodded, put her hand in Lu Ziqin's, and the two of them walked side by side to the second floor.

Gu Huayu asked as she walked, "King Qi didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Lu Ziqin turned his head and looked at Gu Huayu, "What? Are you worried about me?"

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin's eyes and nodded, "Yes, he is the prince after all, and his status lies there."

Lu Ziqin held Gu Huayu's hand tightly and said, "You are my greatest confidence. As long as you stand by my side, he can't embarrass me.

 Xiaoyu, you will always stand by my side, right? "

 The last sentence, Lu Ziqin asked cautiously.

Gu Huayu pursed her lips and smiled: "What? Are you worried that I will leave you?"

Lu Ziqin stared at Gu Huayu and asked, "Can you do it? He is the prince after all! Where is his identity?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and said bluntly: "No, my heart is with you."

Lu Ziqin pulled Gu Huayu's hand, held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Gu Huayu's hair, "Xiaoyu, I swear, I will never let you down in this life."

Gu Huayu looked up at Lu Ziqin and asked with a smile: "Is this the rest of my life?"

Lu Ziqin immediately changed his words and said: "If there is reincarnation in the world, then I will only love you for the rest of my life."

 “Really?” Gu Huayu asked, raising her eyebrows.

Lu Ziqin lowered his head and looked at Gu Hua and said, "My sincerity can be seen from the sun and the moon, but you don't believe me, little guy?"

 “Hanghang, what is that...”

Gu Huayu hurriedly separated from Lu Ziqin, stood up straight, lowered her head and smoothed her hair in embarrassment.

Lu Ziqin turned to look at Shopkeeper Miao and asked with a stern face, "What's wrong? Are you suffering from the cold?"

Shopkeeper Miao hurriedly leaned over and said, "Master, my young body is very strong, how can I catch the wind and cold? It's someone from the Chengguo Palace who said that Eunuch Lin in the palace is looking for me."

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Lu Ziqin, and asked: "Which palace does Eunuch Lin belong to?"

 Lv Ziqin replied: "People from Qianqing Palace, people who serve the emperor."

 “The Emperor has something to ask you for?”

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Probably, you go upstairs to eat first, and I'll go back to Duke Chengguo's Mansion first, and I'll come find you later."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Go ahead. When you're done, you can go directly to Wutong Lane to find me. I'll go back after dinner."

"Okay, I know, you go up." After saying that, Lu Ziqin walked out.

Gu Huayu watched Lu Ziqin leave, then turned and went upstairs.

Seeing her coming in alone, Shi Yamei asked, "Where's Lu Liu? Didn't you get it?"

Gu Huayu walked to the table and sat down, "Brother Ziqin has returned to Duke Chengguo's Mansion. Eunuch Lin from the palace went to Duke Chengguo's Mansion to look for him."

Ye Minghao understood and took the words, "Maybe the emperor has something to do with Ziqin. You are all hungry, let's eat."

During the dinner, Shi Yamei rambled on about what happened in Pan Yuan.

Although Ye Minghao was shocked, he calmly comforted Gu Hua and said, "Princess, don't worry, Ziqin will take care of these things as long as Ziqin is here."

Shi Yamei asked worriedly: "If King Qi comes to be tough, how can Mr. Lu Liu defeat him? He is the prince!"

Ye Minghao smiled and said: "Have you ever heard of a saying? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear feet! Just because Ziqin is nothing, he is fearless. King Qi is the prince, he has his power and his concern."

Shi Yamei nodded, "That's right."

Gu Huayu did not expect Ye Minghao to trust Lu Ziqin so much, and then thought about Lu Ziqin putting the Ye family first in everything. Sure enough, the sincere feelings are mutual, and this is family.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Ye, I'm not worried."

 After dinner, Ye Minghao had to rush back to handle official duties, while Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei went back to their respective homes.

 When Lu Ziqin returned to Chengguo Mansion, Eunuch Lin had already drank two cups of tea.

Lu Ziqin hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I kept my father-in-law waiting for so long."

Eunuch Lin leaned forward and said: "It's okay, Mr. Liu, don't worry about it. Our family has been ordered by the emperor to invite Mr. Liu to accompany our family to the palace. The emperor has something to see Mr. Liu."

Lu Ziqin's heart tightened. Could it be that King Qi has already entered the palace?

 Lv Ziqin leaned forward and said, "My father-in-law, please wait a moment while I change my clothes."

Eunuch Lin leaned forward and said, "Okay, our family will wait here."

Lu Ziqin returned to Zizhuyuan, changed his clothes, and entered the palace with Eunuch Lin.

Going to the gate of Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Gao met Lu Ziqin. He took two steps forward and bowed and said, "Sixth Master is here, haven't you had lunch yet? Long Live Master is waiting for Sixth Master to have lunch."

Lu Ziqin bowed and thanked him.

The emperor invited him to have a meal with him, which was a great favor.

Eunuch Gao took Lu Ziqin to the imperial study. Lu Ziqin was waiting at the door, waiting for Eunuch Gao to go in and report.

After a while, Xuan Lu Ziqin's voice came from the room.

 Lü Ziqin entered the room and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor put down the fold in his hand and said: "Pingshen! Give me a seat!"

 The chamberlain immediately stepped forward and placed the brocade stool, then stepped aside.

 Lv Ziqin stood up and sat down after thanking him. Seeing the joy in the emperor's face, his tense heart relaxed a little.

The emperor looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Come here from Duke Chengguo's Mansion? Are the injuries on your body healed?"

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the wounds on his body are almost healed.

When Eunuch Lin left, Zi Qin was going to Chang'an Restaurant for lunch with Princess Yanran, his eldest cousin and Miss Shi San.

After receiving the report, Ziqin entered the palace with Eunuch Lin. He asked the emperor to punish him for keeping him waiting for a long time. "

The emperor smiled and said, "What's the point of punishment? You didn't know beforehand that I would send you to the palace."

"Your Majesty, lunch is ready." Eunuch Gao came in and reported.

The emperor stood up and said to Lu Ziqin: "Let's go."

Lu Ziqin thanked him, got up and followed the emperor to the side hall.

The emperor sat down and said, "Sit down, today I have the blood duck and rice noodles you like."

Lu Ziqin bowed to thank him and sat down at the lower end.

 After finishing the meal, I drank two cups of tea. The emperor said: "Ziqin hasn't played chess with me for a few days. Will you play a game with me today?"

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have to let Zi Qin go, otherwise Zi Qin is afraid of losing too ugly."

The emperor smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Ziqin always says good things, and he has grown a lot."

Lu Ziqin smiled and followed the emperor to the imperial study.

 Back in the imperial study, the emperor walked straight to the chess table and sat down, pointing to the opposite side: "Sit!"

Lu Ziqin thanked him and sat down. When he saw Eunuch Gao sending the maids and chamberlains out of the room, he felt nervous again.

Lu Ziqin withdrew his gaze and focused on playing chess.
