Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen went to see Master Xu together. They chatted with each other all the way. Chu Qingchen used to think that Ren Xin was just a stubborn girl who had never seen much of the world, but after listening to
After Ren Xin's insights, he began to have some expectations for her career, but he only thought that Ren Xin would please the Queen and hold a small position safely.
Master Xu was sitting at the dining table, holding a box in his hand, looking at it carefully, his brows furrowed, his expression solemn, and his eyes undisguisedly impatient, as if he wanted to throw it away but had no choice but to hold it.
Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen sat down on the left and right sides of Master Xu without saying a word. Master Xu glanced upset and saw the two of them coming in without saying anything. Seeing Master Xu like this, Chu Qingchen must have lost, so he deliberately provoked Master Xu, "
But you lost?" He glanced at Ren Xin as he spoke. He really believed her guess before, but now it seems that maybe his expectations for her were too high.
Master Xu raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingchen, still silent. He just sighed and shook his head.
"But, what problem did the Queen give you?" Ren Xin saw that it was even more impossible for Master Xu to win in this way. If her previous guess was correct, the Queen must have given some problem to embarrass Master Xu. Who told Master Xu before
Resigning in anger does not give the Queen any face? The Queen can use him to win people's hearts and won't do anything to him, but it does not mean that the Queen will not hold grudges at all. It is very possible that she will cause him some slight stumbling blocks.
Master Xu opened the box in his hand, and a walnut-sized bead in the box shone faintly, "Night pearl?" Ren Xin was puzzled, why did Master Xu worry about a bead?
"How do you know each other?" Chu Qingchen wondered. Didn't Ren Xin grow up in a small town like Yicheng? How could he know such a treasure? Master Xu was also surprised. He seemed to have never introduced any jewelry to Ren Xin.
, because I am afraid that if I know that there are too many of these things, I will lose my ambition in playing with them in the future.
Ren Xin looked at the two people's sizing gazes, thought quietly for a moment, and chuckled, "Why have you forgotten, what does my godfather do? He has traveled all over the country in these years, what hasn't he seen?" He said.
It’s not surprising that she knew. Ren Xin also wanted to ask Master Xu about the stone, but looking at Master Xu’s state, it seemed that he had to solve his problem first, “Master, what’s the problem?”
"Oh, you are right. On the birthday of the Prime Minister's only daughter Lu Qin'er tomorrow, more than half of the officials in the court will go to celebrate his beloved daughter's birthday... The Queen gave me this night pearl and asked me to send it to the Prime Minister.
Let's express our feelings." Master Xu said unwillingly. Although he doesn't have any profound knowledge, he can still be regarded as a fox. The Queen
He was not clear about teasing him by playing chess, but now he was asked to give gifts to the prime minister's daughter, whom he disliked from the bottom of his heart. Although the prime minister and he had never interacted with each other, let alone anything.
There was no grudge, but Prime Minister Lu Zilin was the mastermind behind Grandpa Mu Zihan's death, and he couldn't let go of it.
Ren Xin didn't know what the dispute between Master Xu and the Prime Minister was, and was a little confused. However, Chu Qingchen's face darkened after hearing about the Prime Minister, and he stood up and left. "Master, it's getting late. Qingchen will leave first and come back another day."
It’s up to you.”
Seeing Chu Qingchen leave after finishing speaking, he looked a little strange. Ren Xin became more and more confused. Could it be that Chu Qingchen also had some problems with the prime minister? How did this prime minister become so unpopular...
Ren Xin looked at Master Xu in confusion. Master Xu was also very surprised. He didn't know what happened to Chu Qingchen. When Ren Xin first came to the capital, he didn't wait for a while and sent Ren Xin back together.
"The Queen gave you this priceless luminous pearl and gave it to Lu Qin'er. Do you think it's your gift or the Queen's gift?" Ren Xin changed the topic back. Chu Qingchen's temper was harder than a woman's heart.
After pondering, she didn't bother to guess.
"I'll give it as a gift." Master Xu stuffed the night pearl and the box into Ren Xin, picked up the chopsticks and ate at the table, simply not seeing it.
"Master and the prime minister have a feud?" Ren Xin covered the box and put it aside, a little curious. Master Xu had never mentioned anything about the affairs of the court to her. Even Master Xu and Mr. Lu were veterans of the previous dynasty.
Ren Xin only found out about it when Chu Qingchen came to invite them to return to the court.
"No." Master Xu didn't want to mention that matter yet. If he had not resigned at that time, he could have said a few words for that person, but...
"The Queen may be doing it for your own good." Ren Xin didn't understand the situation in the court, but since she is the Queen, she definitely has her intentions in whatever she does.
"I know." Master Xu is like a child when he loses his temper. Ren Xin coaxes him softly from the side. She and Master Xu have been thinking about it for so many years, and she has already known Master Xu's temper clearly.
, he actually just didn’t want to go. He knew what Queen An was thinking, otherwise he wouldn’t have returned to “I know.”
When Ren Xin was still about to say something, the master said, "You can't say anything when you eat but you can't talk when you sleep." She had no choice but to close her mouth and finish the dinner in silence with the master. She was hungry anyway.
Alas, is this the atmosphere of reunion after a long separation?
"Since it is the Queen's wish, Master must give this gift. However, what if Master is ill? Then you can find someone to send it to you on your behalf? For example, your student..." Ren Xin tentatively proposed her own
The idea, but she was just talking about it. She didn't know much about the affairs in the court. She didn't think that the master could let her go with such confidence. In the end, he would go in person or take her with him.
Unexpectedly, the master stared at Ren Xin thoughtfully for a moment, then picked up the box and put it in Ren Xin's hand, "Then it's up to you, but remember, the prime minister's power will not last long, don't go too far.
To approach him, just make him feel that you have no intention of going against him." Master Xu told Ren Xin that he himself
Some people think that Ren Xin is the first woman to successfully pass the provincial examination in these years, or because of the relationship with the master, this matter has long been spread to the prime minister's ears. Although he has not shown anything for some reason, he must have already had feelings for the master and Ren Xin.
Grudge, it's better to think of some ways to make him not be hostile to Ren Xin.
Ren Xin didn't understand what was going on, and he actually asked her to give gifts. But Ren Xin couldn't figure out what the Master's words meant. The Master asked someone to clean up Ren Xin's room in the mansion, and met with Ren Xin.
Ren Xin had stayed in the same wing in the Xu Mansion when she was in Yicheng. She also sent people to inform Uncle Fu that Ren Xin would not be going back tonight. By the way, they prepared clothes for Ren Xin to go to the Prime Minister's birthday banquet tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Ren Xin was tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep. She couldn't figure out what the master had planned. Why did he let her, a newborn girl, give gifts to the prime minister's daughter? This was too much trust in her. What if?
If something goes wrong, what should he do if it affects him?
The next day, Ren Xin was carefully cleaned up by the maids, and she was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze, as if in a dream. She walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion holding Ye Mingzhu, everything felt so unreal, and she couldn't see anything around her.
Adults with no official titles passed by one after another. Ren Xin saluted again and again, but no one paid attention to her, just like a little transparent person.
But Ren Xin also thought about it. In this huge capital, what kind of beauties were there? Did she dress herself up deliberately? It was normal for her appearance not to attract people's attention. She handed Mrs. Xu
The housekeeper looked at the name card, looked at Ren Xin up and down, and asked her who she was. Then, he asked Ren Xin to wait outside for a while, and returned shortly after leaving. He must have asked the prime minister if he would let her.
Enter.
"Go in." The butler asked Ren Xin to go directly to see the prime minister with gifts. Ren Xin felt a little uneasy. What is going on? Don't the gifts usually be collected directly by the butler? Then people went in to celebrate his birthday.
Why was she allowed to bring gifts to see the prime minister?
The prime minister held a banquet for his daughter in the lobby. When Ren Xin was introduced by his servants, he was almost frightened by the officials in the room as soon as he bought a foot. He was just celebrating the birthday of an eighteen-year-old girl.
, why do so many ministers come to support her? The prime minister is so proud, but... is this really what the girl wants?
Ren Xin looked at the main seat. Sitting next to the Prime Minister was a plump and youthful woman. She must be the protagonist today. Ren Xin calmed down, walked forward slowly, bowed lightly, "Student Ren Xin pays homage to the Prime Minister, family affairs
Master Xu was unable to get out of bed due to the occasional cold, so he had to rest. However, he was thinking that today was the birthday of the young lady, so he had no choice but to come to wish the young lady a happy birthday..."
Ren Xin explained Master Xu's helplessness and complimented the prime minister, and then praised Lu Qin'er. Finally, he said hello to the officials present, with thoughtful and respectful manners, without being humble or excessive.
Flattery to please.
"I remember, are you the female candidate this year?" the prime minister asked knowingly. He heard from the housekeeper early in the morning that Master Xu's students came to visit with gifts, and he immediately thought of who the visitor was, but he clearly remembered that he had violated the rules.
He wanted this woman who passed the provincial examination.
"Yes." Ren Xin replied softly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I heard that you are a good writer, but I don't know what other skills you have besides writing articles. If Ren Juren is willing, can he perform something to entertain my little girl?" The Prime Minister thought that Ren Xin was here this time.
, which shows her intention to surrender. Since she wants to surrender, shouldn't she show some sincerity?
Ren Xin lowered his head and felt a shiver in his heart. He asked a celebrity to perform for his daughter in public. It was obvious that he underestimated Ren Xin. Ren Xin thought about it and wanted to refuse.
