When Xie Xun saw Qin Rushuang coming out of the general's mansion, the first thing he did was take the child from her.
The child is growing very well, but now it is getting heavier. Sometimes Qin Rushuang feels a little pain in her hands when she holds her in her hands for a long time.
Therefore, whenever the two of them were together, Xie Xun would always consciously carry the child over, and even when he was away, he would instruct his servants to share Qin Rushuang's worries.
Although Qin Rushuang would reject the servant's proposal most of the time.
She is different from those girls in Kyoto. She knows that when her children get older, they will be sent to the palace to learn and educate sooner or later. She only spends a few years with her children.
She cherishes every minute and every second spent with her children and does not want to take advantage of others.
Except Xie Xun.
Because she also hopes that her child can get along with Xie Xun more, after all, it is the nature of father and son.
On the way back to the palace, Qin Rushuang told Xie Xun that Mrs. Qin's nickname for the baby was Linbao.
Xie Xun recited it several times silently, and was obviously very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Then let's call it Linbao. It sounds pretty good."
After returning to Prince Huai's Mansion, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun figured out how to let Gu Meiren have a suitable identity to be with Zhu Sha.
The final time for Gu Meiren to show up was set for three days.
Three days later, by the Honglin Lake.
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun took the unhappy Cinnabar and went to Honglin Lake for a lake tour together.
It's not spring yet, the water in Hongling Lake has just broken through the ice, and the temperature is still very low, but there are already colorful painting studios on the lake, walking in and out of the lake.
Qin Rushuang looked at this scene of singing and dancing and felt a little emotional.
"My father ordered the sealing of Honglin Lake before. How long has it been since then?"
Xie Xun was no longer surprised, and whispered: "How can the lives of a few girls compare to the power in the hands of these dignitaries? The limelight has passed, and life is flourishing. It will be the same as it should be."
Qin Rushuang looked at Xie Xun and asked, "Does the prince think this is normal?"
Xie Xun shook his head and said, "No, I don't think this is normal. If I have the power to control the government, these dignitaries will have to change their way of life."
Qin Rushuang smiled and said in a low voice, "Then we look forward to the Qingming Dynasty after the prince takes power."
The two chatted for a while, but Zhu Sha on the side was not very interested.
They chatted for a while about the matters in the court, but Zhu Sha didn't interrupt, and the whole person seemed a little confused.
Qin Rushuang was curious and asked Xie Xun in a low voice: "My lord, didn't you tell General Zhu that Gu Meiren would appear in the painting studio today?"
Xie Xun showed a rare evil smile and said, "I just told him that I would introduce him to a beautiful woman today and bring him here to have a good time, but obviously his slender head didn't guess what I was talking about."
Qin Rushuang suddenly became a little excited, wanting to see what kind of reaction Zhu Sha would have when he saw Gu Meiren.
The group of people watched the scenery of Honglin Lake for a while. At the appointed time, a huge painting boat suddenly sailed in the middle of the lake.
The curtains above the painting studio are all bright red.
It looks so out of place among all the elegant painting studios that are either pink, white or green, yet so eye-catching.
Accompanied by lewd singing, the painting workshop appeared in front of everyone, and the musicians on the painting workshop suddenly beat a huge drum.
The sound of drumbeats came densely, and as the drums sounded, a woman wearing a red dress and a red veil suddenly appeared on the deck of the studio.
She danced gracefully to the music and classical sounds. There was no other dancer in the studio, but she caught everyone's attention the moment she appeared.
Zhu Sha on the side was already dumbfounded and murmured in a low voice: "It's her..."
Qin Rushuang glanced at Zhu Sha and felt at ease.
Gu Meiren was not an unknown person, so she deliberately wore a veil when she appeared on the stage, but Zhu Sha recognized her immediately, which made Qin Rushuang feel more assured about his affection for Gu Meiren.
Just by looking at the distant figure and the veiled appearance, one could recognize that it was Gu Meiren. It seemed that Gu Meiren really fascinated Zhu Sha.
Qin Rushuang gently pushed Zhu Sha and said, "I have brought you out. Whether there will be good talk about spending a lot of money on a beautiful woman in Kyoto tomorrow depends on your performance today."
Zhu Sha didn't need Qin Rushuang to say it a second time, and immediately used Qinggong to fly to the boat.
Xie Xun asked in a low voice, "Would you like to go up and watch the excitement together?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head and said, "I have already told the musicians that no one except Zhu Sha can go up today. The rest of the time will be left to themselves."
"Then let's leave first?" Xie Xun suggested.
Qin Rushuang shook her head, "My lord, you can't leave yet. We have to cooperate with Gu Mei and General Zhu to put on a good show later."
"What's the show?"
"Of course General Zhu fell in love with a singer and wanted to marry her as his wife, but you tried your best to dissuade her, and the two of them had a complete falling out."
Xie Xun understood what she meant, so he nodded and stood aside, waiting to criticize Zhu Sha when he brought Gu Meiren down later.
After a while, Zhu Sha took Gu Meiren down from the studio and held her hand tightly in his. The excitement on his face was not fake.
Qin Rushuang secretly said that it was not good and whispered to Xie Xun: "Oh no, you didn't tell him today that he would meet Gu Meiren. Didn't you tell him that you were going to stage a complete break between the brothers?"
Xie Xun comforted him, "It's okay. I'll go over and guide him a little later and he'll understand."
After saying this, it was a little funny: "Do you think Zhu Sha really has no brains? He is just a more upright person. The deputy general I chose will definitely not be a warrior with brute force and no brains."
Seeing him say this, Qin Rushuang felt relieved.
When Zhu Sha brought Gu Meiren to them, Xie Xun immediately changed his face to an angry one.
He walked to Zhusha and said, "I know you are deeply attached to Gu Mei, but you don't have to choose all the women you fancy who are born low-born like this!"
Zhu Shakai was stunned for a moment, but he finally understood and immediately protected Gu Meiren in his arms.
"I have lost a beautiful girl. Today when I saw Miss Yun Shang, I felt that she was very similar to my lost love. If you still miss the last bit of friendship between our brothers, please don't stop me."
, I will take her back to my house today, and we will get married soon!"
In the words, even the matter of getting married was decided.
"Nonsense!" Xie Xun shouted.
The quarrel between the two soon caused other people by the lake to point fingers at the two. The two argued for a few more words, and finally ended with Zhu Sha's harsh words.
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind to marry Miss Yunshang. If Your Majesty really doesn't like me, then the brotherhood between you and me will end today!"
After saying that, he pulled Gu Meiren away bitterly.
Xie Xun also led Qin Rushuang away with an angry look on his face.
It wasn't until he returned to the carriage that he took off the disguise on his face and said with a smile: "Look, I'll just say it. Zhu Sha will definitely understand what I mean."
Qin Rushuang nodded and said, "The prince's calculation is undoubtedly true, but I don't know if the prince has thought about it. Today, you two have talked to this point. When Zhu Sha and Gu Meiren get married, what kind of identity will you have?"
Attend their wedding banquet?”
Xie Xun's proud smile just stayed on his face, and he even felt at a loss for a moment.
