Chapter 43

Qi Zhu also received the post from the County Prince's Mansion.

She sat on the side where the sun was not shining in front of the window, watching the invitations she placed on the bright table. The breeze blew in from outside, waving her veil, and as it floated, crystal tears fell down.

I wanted to touch the post, but I saw my white veiled hand hanging down weakly.

If, if she were still fine, would she be happy to receive this post?

She was two years older than Xu Xi. She often went to play when she was a child. The princess of the county also liked her very much. The princess of the county was born to not laugh, but every time she came back from the capital, she would remember to bring her a gift alone. With this relationship, Qi Zhu always felt that when she grew up, she would definitely marry Xu Yan and Xu Yunsheng, the gentle prince of the county prince's mansion.

However, when she finally reached the age to talk about marriage, Fu Rong came. She was like the most unique peony among the flowers, so beautiful that she was unrestrained. For the first time, she showed her appearance at the banquet, which robbed all the ladies and girls. No one could deny that Fu Rong was the true number one beauty in Xindu City.

Fu Rong is the daughter of the prefect. No matter how high his father's official position is, he is far away from Shaanxi. It is not as worthy of everyone's favor as Fu Pinyan, the parent official. So the ladies who always like to surround her all went to the Fu Rong sisters, and the ladies and wives praised them all for their praises. Even the two brothers in the family began to pay attention to them.

Qi Zhu can tolerate these things. What she fears most is that Fu Rong is flirting with Xu Yan's heart. Fu Rong is good-looking, sweet-mouthed, and her grandmother likes to ask her to come to her side. As long as she is willing, it is not difficult to coax the princess of the county, right?

So she planned for the future. When she learned that the maid around her had chickenpox and learned that chickenpox was prone to pox, she attacked Fu Rong.

It was useless. Fu Rong was fine. He didn't know what happy things she had. It was like the first buds looking forward to the sunshine and rain, and the sunshine and rain were given to her on their own initiative, nourishing her to make her more beautiful day by day. Finally one day, she attracted Xu Yan's attention. Even the princess of the county gave her a good meeting gift like the Fu sisters.

Compared with Fu Rong, she seems to have no chance of winning.

But just when Qi Zhu hesitated to continue harming others or giving up, she found that her brother fell in love with Fu Rong. So, as long as she encouraged her brother and Fu Rong, Xu Yan would still be hers!

Thinking of this, Qi Zhu suddenly let out a sarcastic bitter smile.

She happily invited Fu Rong and happily created opportunities for her brother. Unexpectedly, her brother liked Fu Rong so much that she didn't want her sister, which made her not only unable to marry Xu Yan, but also unable to marry anyone. In this life, she could only be an old girl...

With a "bang", Qi Zhu swept the invitation.

When he turned his head, he saw Qi Ce coming at some point.

Qi Zhu was stunned for a while while keeping his sleeves brushing, and rushed towards his brother crying: "Brother, I want to go, I want to go..."

Qi Ce hugged his sister without saying a word. When Qi Zhu gradually calmed down, he whispered: "Forget that person." My sister is destined to have no chance with Xu Yan. If she thinks about her again, she will only cause trouble.

Qi Zhu did not respond, and Qi Ce signaled her to sit in the yard outside.

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. Even though Qi Zhu is not feeling like enjoying the scenery, he feels much more relaxed. Thinking of Qi Ce who has been to the Prince's Mansion several times recently, he asked, "Did you come back from the Prince's Mansion again?"

Qi Ce nodded, "Yun Sheng has a lonely book in his hand, so he doesn't allow me to bring it back, so I have to go over and read it."

Qi Zhu stared at him, and the strange feeling of leaning against his brother's arms suddenly popped up: "Did your brother change the fragrance? It seems to be the fragrance of jasmine?"

Qi Ce frowned slightly, and then said as usual: "The person who served me took the wrong one, I will tell them to change it back later. If you don't talk about me, what did Azhu do today?"

Qi Zhu lowered his head, and after Qi Ce realized something was wrong and called her nickname twice in succession, she threw the handkerchief in her hand over without warning: "You have a woman outside, right? You promised me to marry Fu Rong, it doesn't matter if you play with others. If you want to marry someone else as my sister-in-law, I will not allow it first!"

My brother has always been very picky, how could he use such a bad smell?

Qi Ce moved his eyebrows, clenched his fists under the table, and after a while, he suppressed the restlessness that had been growing since the New Year. He didn't want to argue with his sister, but he didn't have the patience to endure her unreasonable trouble anymore. Qi Ce stood up with a cold face and walked out directly.

Qi Zhu was stunned, and the next moment he hurriedly chased after him, hugged Qi Ce and cried: "Brother, don't be angry, don't ignore me, I'm just feeling bitter. It doesn't matter who you like, as long as you promise to avenge me..."

"I will marry her, please wait."

Qi Ce pried open his sister's hand and left without looking back.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Xu Xi celebrated his birthday, and Xu Jin's carriage stopped in front of the county prince's mansion at dusk on the sixth day of the day.

Xu Jin sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest. Xu Jia stepped forward and whispered to the guard in front of the door.

The guard was shocked, looked at the carriage, and hurried in and reported.

"Prince, someone came to visit outside and claimed to be His Highness, Prince Su."

Xu Yaocheng was in the study, rubbing an ordinary white jade hairpin in his hand. He raised his eyes when he heard this, remembering that King Su was ordered to inspect the Yellow River embankment. It was indeed time to calculate the itinerary. He put the hairpin in the box and signaled the long to take the robe for the guests, and ordered: "Where is the prince? Let him change his clothes and go out to welcome the guests with me."

"yes."

After a moment, the father and son met in the front yard. Xu Yaozheng saw that his son looked a little wrong and said with concern: "Don't feel well?"

Xu Yan smiled: "No, I'm tired of reading books just now."

Xu Yaocheng glanced at him and led the way.

Xu Yan followed his father with a slightly lower smile.

His father is the emperor's cousin, and his mother is the emperor's cousin. The emperor cares about his brotherhood and sisters, and he will announce that his family will return to Beijing for the New Year every year. As the prince's mansion, he often goes in and out of the palace. He even studied in the imperial study for several years, so he has dealt with several princes.

Xu Jin was two years older than him and was taciturn. Except for his younger brother, the sixth prince, Xu Jin was not particularly close to anyone, and Xu Yan nodded. But since the previous year, Xu Yan suddenly realized that Xu Jin seemed to have a hostility towards him. Of course, Xu Jin had never done anything, but occasionally glances of his eyes, and what Xu Yan felt was definitely not kindness.

All the way, I quickly bypassed the screen wall.

Xu Jia saw it outside and said softly to the carriage. Xu Jin slowly got out of the carriage, turned around, saluted to Xu Yaocheng who happened to walk to the door, and said, "I'll leave after the New Year and haven't seen each other for several months. How are Uncle Wang late?"

The nineteen-year-old King Su has a beautiful appearance and a magnificent spirit. His every move is as noble as the princes. There is also the heroic and solemn generals on the battlefield between his eyebrows and eyes. He stands like green cypresses and green pine trees. Although he is not as tall as a crown, he is no longer suitable to be described as a young man.

Looking at the best among the sons and nephews, Xu Yaocheng smiled rarely: "I am a friend of books all day long and live a carefree life without any effort. Jing Xing is thinking about it. However, Jing Xing is young and has a high hope. Thank you for your hard work throughout the journey. Come to the house to have a cup of tea."

Xu Jin thanked politely and looked at Xu Yan beside Xu Yaocheng.

Xu Yan smiled and called "Fourth Brother".

Xu Jin replied indifferently, "Yunsheng".

One of them was instinctively guarded, the other was dissatisfied and rarely spoke. Only Xu Yaocheng took the initiative to inquire about Xu Jin’s experience on the way, so there was no dismay.

Shortly after sitting down, the county princess and daughter came.

Xu Jin had no affection for the mother and daughter.

Since he accepted Fu Rong in his previous life, Fu Rong was his person, and he could not like him. If others bullied Fu Rong, he would not take him seriously, as King Su. Even if the grudge between Fu Rong and the Princess and the Princess and the daughter of the County occurred before entering Beijing. After his rebirth, Fu Rong was his qualifying princess, he would be even more disliked when he looked at the Princess and the daughter of the County.

But he still ordered people to prepare gifts for the family of four, especially Xu Xi.

The princess of the county didn't like Xu Jin very much. She came from the Li family of Duke Qing's Mansion. Her sister was Duan Concubine Duan, one of the four concubines. She had five princes under her knees. Although the emperor had already established a prince, it did not prevent the princes from secretly competing with each other. However, when the princesses exchanged rituals, no matter what they thought, the princess of the county would keep it. "Is Jingxing's itinerary tight? If it's not tight, stay for a few more nights. It's rare to come here to let Yunsheng accompany you around. Although the letter is not as good as the capital, there are several places worthy of appreciation."

Xu Jin looked at Xu Xi in a red dress and smiled and replied, "I wanted to stay for one night and leave. Since my sister's birthday tomorrow, Jing Xing would be more respectful than to obey her orders. Stay here to celebrate her for her and set off again the morning next time."

He doesn't like to laugh, but when he smiles, he is as warm as the warm spring scenery that melts ice and snow.

Xu Xi, who was only twelve years old, stood beside her mother, and her face turned red unconsciously when she met such a smile.

Xu Jin didn't pay attention and greeted them absent-mindedly, then took Xu Jia to the guest room to settle down.

"Prepare water, I want to take a shower." Lying on the couch, Xu Jin closed his eyes and said, his voice lazily, with a kind of pleasure that others could not understand. He didn't know what interesting things he had thought of.

Xu Jia was busy with all his duties and responsibilities. When Xu Jin took a comfortable hot bath, when Xu Jin finished his dinner and took a rest, when Xu Jin came out again at the second update, he quickly took the lead and went to Fu Mansion with a familiarity.

In early summer nights, quiet and peaceful.

When Xu Jin came over, Mei Xiang, who was guarding Fu Rong at night, was already asleep and the door of the house was closed.

Pushing the door and entering, Xu Jin didn't even look at the maid sleeping on the couch, and went straight into the inner room.

The little girl's boudoir was covered in darkness with a faint lotus fragrance.

Xu Jin put the lantern in his hand at the head of the bed, stood quietly for a while, and then reached out to open the gauze tent in front of him.

This gentle movement was like a willow leaves on the branches whirling into the water, causing ripples. Xu Jin took a deep breath of the familiar fragrance of daughters that was coming to his face and looked down.

Fu Rong lies in her side face, sleeping soundly under the effect of calming the sun, with a thin quilt slipping off her body, revealing half of her snow-white shirts.

Xu Jin stared at the red ribbon in the center of her spine and breathed tightly.
Chapter completed!
