Chapter 284 King Qin

The emperor said: "Ruan Chu's mother, Mrs. Xu, is with the army at the border. Mrs. Xu and Jinsong are loving husband and wife, and Mrs. Xu gave birth to two sons and one daughter to Jinsong.

Ruan Chu is the third eldest. Ruan Chu has an elder brother and an elder sister. His elder brother, Ruan Tong, followed General Weiyuan at the border. Ruan Tong took the daughter of a deputy general in Jinsong as his wife.

 Sister Ruan Xiaochen married Fang Qingyuan, the eldest son of Yushitai Fang Zhenzhong. This is the basic situation of the Ruan family.

 Jinsong, like Dingkun, both returned to Beijing this year to report on their work. They are both on their way back to Beijing now and will probably arrive in the capital early next month.

Privy Councilor Huang handed over the beggar's bones and wanted to retire and return to his hometown. I plan to fulfill Privy Huang's wish and grant him permission, so that Jinsong can fill Privy Huang's vacancy. "

Ziqin did not expect that his father would say this to him. He felt a little uneasy and even frightened. He leaned forward and said, "Thank you, father, for telling me. I understand."

The emperor also realized that he had said too much, so he changed the subject and asked, "When will your marriage to Yanran be decided?"

 Ziqin felt relieved when he saw that his father did not continue the previous topic. When his father mentioned marriage, he felt like he was being urged to get married.

Ziqin shook his head and said, "Go back to the emperor! Yanran wants to find out what happened to the Hua family back then, and avenge Uncle Hua and the others before considering marriage.

My son, I respect Yanran’s wishes. When she finds out the truth, we will ask the emperor for marriage. "

 The old affairs of the Hua family were brought up again, and the emperor sighed guiltily and said, "It's time to investigate this matter.

 After I take you to the Ancestral Temple to worship and perform the canonization ceremony, you will go to the Ministry of Punishment to take up a post, so that you can investigate the events of that year.

  After the incident occurred, the Hua family immediately set out to investigate.

At that time, I received a threatening letter from the other party. The other party used you as a bargaining chip and asked me to stop the Hua family from continuing to pursue this matter.

For your safety, I had no choice but to ask Gao Lin to go to Jiangnan and ask Mr. Hua to stop pursuing this matter. "

Ziqin did not expect that it was because of him that the Hua family stopped investigating the truth.

 He has the responsibility and obligation to find out the truth of the matter, both publicly and privately.

Ziqin leaned forward and said, "My son, I would like to thank my father for your success."

"Your Majesty, the three ministers and the six ministers have arrived." Eunuch Gao came over to report.

Ziqin thought that the emperor was going to discuss state affairs and wanted to get up and leave.

The emperor spoke first and said, "Follow me to meet these mainstays of the imperial court."

"Okay, thank you, father." Ziqin suddenly realized that the emperor was going to introduce him to everyone. He felt grateful again, got up and went to the imperial study room.

 That day, the emperor kept Ziqin in the palace. It happened to be the second day, October 21, which was a holiday. There was no need to go to court in the morning, so the father and son talked until it was time for them to go to bed.

 The Qintian Prison chooses the date overnight, and the most recent auspicious day is October 22nd.

 It is a good day with good weather, good time, good location, good luck and good luck for everyone.

After the emperor heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed, canceled the morning court meeting, and went to the Ancestral Temple to worship with the ministers of civil and military affairs.

 After returning from the Ancestral Temple, the emperor directly held the canonization ceremony of King Qin.

On the same day, officials from the Ministry of Rites sent the King of Qin to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the ceremony was completed.

 The King of Qin sent the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the gate of the mansion. After watching the people leave, he turned around and walked into the mansion.

As King Qin walked, he said to Ruxuan: "Send a message to Longxi to ask Ru'an to come back."

Ruxuan bowed and said, "Okay, what about Qinglan? Should Qinglan stay in the capital or return to Longxi?"

King Qin thought for a while and said, "Now is the time to employ people, so Qinglan should also stay."

He came over and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Do you want to pass on the food?"

 King Qin looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early, I'll pick up the princess and wait for the princess to arrive before serving food.

 Tell Shi Niang that the Lord is coming. Today, I moved in the first day, let the kitchen cook more dishes, and everyone gathered together to have a meal. "

 Come and retreat.

 Ru Yan drove over, and when King Qin was about to get on the carriage, Ruan Chu came over and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going out?"

King Qin nodded, "Yes, I'll go to Wutong Lane and be back in a while."

Ruan Chu said: "Okay, I'll send someone to follow."

King Qin said: "No need, just send me there like a horse."

Ruan Chu insisted: "How can that be done? The prince's safety is very important, and someone must follow him when he travels."

King Qin frowned and asked, "How many guards should I follow when I travel?"

Ruan Chu leaned over and said: "Back to the prince, when the prince goes out, he needs to be accompanied by one chamberlain, four servants, two maids, and eight guards."

“There’s no need to mobilize troops like this, right?” King Qin said.

Ruan Chu said: "This is not called recruiting troops. The prince has a distinguished status and cannot allow any mistakes. Safety is the first priority. Therefore, it is basic and indispensable to have guards accompanying you."

The King of Qin was puzzled and said: "King Qi, King Xian and others did not have such a big battle when they went out."

Ruan Chu leaned over and said, "I don't understand this either. Eunuch Gao told me this, it was the emperor's intention."

 The King of Qin was in trouble. He knew that Gu Huayu didn't like to be followed when he went out.

So he asked: "Can I change it to a secret guard?"

 From the King of Qin's point of view, it doesn't matter whether it is an open guard or a secret guard. Their goal is the same, which is to be responsible for the safety of their master.

Since the clear and dark guards are the same, replace the clear and dark guards with the dark guards.

Ruan Chu shook his head and said sternly: "The dark guard is the dark guard, and the bright guard is the bright guard. Each of them has its own purpose and does its own thing."

King Qin looked at Ruan Chu and asked, "What do you mean, in addition to these open guards, there must be secret guards following?"

Ruan Chu nodded and said: "Yes, in addition to the eight clear guards, there are also eight secret guards following."

 Ruxuan was speechless when he heard this. "My dear, when our prince goes out, he won't be surrounded by a bunch of people."

Ruan Chu said: "There are reasons why the emperor made such arrangements. The prince must not let down the emperor's wishes."

Then again, be careful to make a ten-thousand-year ship. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens. "

Ruxuan nodded and said, "General Ruan is right."

How could King Qin not know this truth?

But Xiaoyu usually goes out and wishes she could be alone. If Xiaoyu saw him surrounded by people today, would she not come to the palace with him?

Today is the first day that he has lived in the royal palace. This palace will be his home from now on. Xiaoyu is the person he recognizes as the mistress of this family.

From the moment he met her, he hoped that she would be involved in the important moments of his life. In his twilight years, when he looked back on the past, they would cherish every moment of each other.

King Qin said: "Today the Ming Guard rests. I will take Ru Xuan and Ru Shi to accompany me, and let eight secret guards follow. For now, I won't let you be in trouble in the future! How about that?"

Ruan Chu thought for a while and said: "If the prince does not want to be too ostentatious, then I will change the eight bright guards to secret guards and let them set up defenses along the road first."

 This is a compromise. King Qin nodded, "Okay, then it's time to work."

Ruan Chu leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. It is our duty to protect your safety. I will make arrangements right now. Your Majesty can set off in a quarter of an hour."

King Qin said: "Go."

 Ruan Chu took two steps back and turned to leave.

Ruxuan looked at Ruan Chu's back and said: "From now on, the prince can no longer go out with an entourage. The happiness of ordinary people is gone forever! From now on, the young prince will live a life of fakeness and power." What a beautiful day!

King Qin glanced at Ruxuan who was gloating about his misfortune and said, "You go and write a letter to Ru'an first, and I'll change my clothes."

 Ruxuan leaned forward and said, "Okay!" Then he quickly slipped away.

A quarter of an hour later, the King of Qin got into the carriage. Ruxuan and Ruhe sat on the horizontal board at the front of the carriage. Ruhe drove the carriage out of the Prince of Qin's Mansion and headed towards Wutong.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion is on the east side of the palace. One street away from the palace is Donghua Gate. It is the closest palace to the palace. It is only two streets away from the Hua Family's old residence on Yongchun Road and four streets away from Wutong Lane.

At this time, Gu Huayu saw Qing Zhujiao Sui brother squatting on his horse in the yard. Qing Yu came over and whispered: "Princess, the prince is here. He is outside the door."

Gu Huayu didn't react for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty?"

Hearing the word "wangye", Gu Huayu thought it was the king of Qi, and felt unhappy and frowned slightly.

Qingyu nodded and said, "King Qin!"

As soon as Gu Huayu heard about King Qin, the unhappiness in her heart instantly dissipated. She immediately smiled and walked out. As she walked, she said, "Tell grandma that I have something to do when I go out. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Qing Yu secretly thought that if anyone could change his face quickly, it must be the princess.

Qingyu raised his voice and reminded him with disdain: "Princess, you are at the side door, go out from the side door."

Gu Huayu turned around and made an "O" gesture to Qing Yu, and then went to the side door.

Gu Huayu walked out of the side door and saw a large carriage parked under a tree across the street, with Ruxuan and Ruyi standing beside it.

Gu Huayu walked over quickly and excitedly. She hadn't seen him for two days, but she felt like she hadn't seen him for several years. She was eager to appear in front of him immediately.

The King of Qin in the car, through the curtains of the blinds, saw a man as cheerful as a bird walking towards him. His eyes were a little more tender, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up.

Ruxuan Rujin bowed to Gu Huayu to greet him, and Ruxuan raised the curtain for Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu got on the car and saw King Qin reaching out to help her, so she put her hand in King Qin's.

 After Gu Huayu sat down, she asked, "Why is Qingyan here?"

King Qin held Gu Huayu in his arms and whispered back: "I miss you!" Then he raised his voice and said: "Let's go."

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at King Qin, smiling with her eyebrows creasing, and asked: "Really?"

King Qin looked down at the playful Gu Huayu and raised his eyebrows, "Of course!"

 After saying that, King Qin lowered his head and kissed Gu Huayu’s forehead.

Gu Huayu asked softly: "Where are we going?"

King Qin said seriously: "Take you home."

 “Going to Prince Qin’s Mansion?”

 King Qin rubbed Gu Huayu’s head and said, "Smart!"

Gu Huayu responded proudly: "Of course..."

Looking at Gu Huayu's eloquent appearance, King Qin couldn't help but lowered his head and blocked the last words of Gu Huayu in his mouth.

Gu Huayu was stunned for a moment, then raised her arms to wrap her arms around King Qin's neck and responded.

The two were lingering, as if expressing the pain of missing each other for the past two days.

King Qin estimated that the time was almost up, then let go of Gu Huayu and helped her straighten her clothes.

The car stopped and Ruxuan said: "Your Majesty, we're here."

King Qin got out of the car first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to help Gu Huayu get out of the car.

Ruan Chu came over to see Gu Huayu and asked in surprise: "Miss Gu?"

Gu Huayu was also stunned, raised her hand and waved it in the air twice, and then said: "Master Ruan San?"

  King Qin looked at Gu Huayu, then at Ruan Chu, and asked, "You two know each other."

Ruan Chu leaned over and said, "Go back to my lord, I met Miss Gu three years ago in Jiangnan."

The King of Qin asked doubtfully: "Jiangnan? Aren't you from the capital?"

Ruan Chu replied: “I am from the capital city, and my maternal wife’s family is in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River.

 Three years ago, I took advantage of my family vacation to go to the south to visit my grandmother. On the day of the incense gathering on June 19th, I accompanied my grandmother to Lingyin Temple to offer incense, but I didn’t expect my grandmother to faint on the way. I happened to meet Miss Gu who was also going to offer incense. Thanks to Miss Gu’s intervention, my grandmother was removed from the temple. Pulled back from the gate of hell. "

Gu Huayu asked: "How is the old lady now? Are you okay?"

Ruan Chu responded repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Gu. Grandma is very healthy now. My parents will return to Beijing from the border this year. Grandma will also come to the capital to celebrate the New Year. I will invite Miss Gu to the house as a guest."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded: "Okay. I will definitely visit the old lady then."

"Princess!" Shi Niang heard that Gu Huayu had passed the palace, so she came over to see her.

 “Miss Gu is the princess?” Ruan Chu asked in surprise.

Ruxuan explained: "General Ruan, Miss Gu is Princess Yanran, whom the emperor personally conferred."

Ruan Chu usually stays in the capital camp and rarely returns to the capital. He knows very little about the things that are rumored in the world. I only know that the emperor made Hua Ling’s daughter the princess.

Ruan Chu suddenly realized and nodded. It turned out that she was Uncle Hua's daughter.

Gu Huayu jumped to Shi Niang's side, took Shi Niang's hand and asked, "Smelly Foot Fairy, have you missed me?"

Shi Niang replied: "Of course I have. I miss the princess, Lonicera, and Aunt Wang. When will the princess marry? Merge the two mansions into one."

 Ru Xuan, Ru Jin pursed his lips to hold back a smile,

Gu Huayu raised her hand to hit Shi Niang. Shi Niang quickly took two steps back, bent her knees and said, "Come on, I was wrong. I apologize to the princess. Today, I let the kitchen become the princess." My favorite is Mapo tofu, boiled fish fillets, and, by the way, the Princess’s favorite skewers.”

When talking about food, Gu Huayu took back her hand and asked, "Do you have any wine?"

Shi Niang responded: "Yes, yes, yellow rice wine, with shredded **** and rock sugar."

Gu Huayu responded happily: "Perfect!"

“There is no grill in the palace, otherwise I would have asked the kitchen to cut some mutton for roasting.”

Gu Huayu said: "Tomorrow I will ask Qingyu to deliver the grill."

"That's good! Princess, remember to ask Qing Yu to send some seasonings for the roasted meat." Shi Niang reminded her politely.

Gu Huayu nodded in agreement, turned to look at King Qin, and asked, "Brother Ziqin, where are you eating?"

King Qin reached out to hold Gu Huayu's hand and asked, "Where is the food?"

Ruan Chu saw that everyone was not surprised, and he knew in his heart that this was the normal way for the two of them to get along.

Gu Huayu turned her head and looked at King Qin and said with a smile, "You don't know either?"

King Qin shook his head and said, "I just moved in today, and I have never been here before."

Shi Niang bent her knees and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, please come with me."

 Shi Niang brought the two of them to the flower hall. "Your Majesty, Princess, please come in. According to Your Majesty's wishes, I will stay in the palace the first day, and everyone will gather together to have a lively atmosphere. So I chose this place."
