Xue Hong: "Your Highness, let's just say this is God's will. I advise you to give up the struggle."
Zhu Hui confidently drank the wine in his glass and punched the table: "I don't believe it! I, a prince, can be subdued by a mere woman! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
In fact, Xue Hong really wants to say something, Your Highness, when you are bragging, can you look back and see what kind of personalities your ancestors have.
Zhu Hui: "It depends on me, three days. Just three days. I will definitely make the princess obedient! Just wait and see!"
Chen Chen stretched out his hand: "I hope your highness will still be so strong-willed after you get married."
Zhu Hui waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about any of this! Just prepare the gifts!"
Xue Hong: "Congratulations...I have prepared them a long time ago. I guarantee that His Highness will like them. You will know when the time comes."
Chen Chen touched his chin: "How about... I give His Highness some of the rare "precious books"? And then give His Highness a few Frankie dancers?"
Zhu Hui: "Forget the book, just discount it in cash, but I can have the Frankie Dancer at the back."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty summons you."
…
In the imperial garden, Emperor Longqing and Empress Yin were sitting side by side, and they were chatting with each other, when suddenly Zhu Hui barged in without warning.
Empress Yin was cuddling with Emperor Longqing when she suddenly saw Zhu Hui coming in. She quickly sat up straight and returned to her usual dignified and loving appearance.
The daughter-in-law in Emperor Longqing's arms suddenly slipped out. When he looked up, he saw that his son was coming. No wonder the daughter-in-law was shy. She must always remain dignified and dignified in front of her children.
However, Emperor Longqing, who was originally communicating with his wife, was very upset when he was suddenly interrupted, so he asked with a dark face: "Old Liu, why are you here?"
Zhu Hui spread his hands: "Didn't you ask me to come, Father?"
Emperor Longqing: "Oh, by the way. Come and sit down, and your mother and I will discuss your wedding with you."
Zhu Hui learned to be smart and couldn't resist. He might as well obey Emperor Longqing to avoid being kicked: "It all depends on the arrangements of the father, the emperor and the empress!"
Emperor Longqing: "You don't want to break off the engagement?"
Zhu Hui: "My son, I have to understand. I am a prince, how can I be afraid of her as a woman? My father's blood is flowing in my body!"
After saying that, Zhu Hui raised his head very proudly.
Emperor Longqing felt a little guilty. The old Zhu family had strict rules on their wives. Didn't others understand that he didn't understand?
Even when Emperor Longqing himself was still a prince, he still loved and feared Queen Yin.
Although Empress Yin has a gentle personality, she can get out of control when she loses her temper. Emperor Longqing was often taught a lesson when he was young.
It was only later that as the two grew older and experienced more and more together, they became completely inseparable from each other. Therefore, the image of Queen Yin that the princes saw has always been gentle and gentle.
Emperor Longqing was relatively good. On the first night when the Emperor and the Queen Mother got married, the Queen Mother beat him violently and kicked him out of the new house.
Even though the Emperor was such a cruel person, he still did not do anything to his wife.
Emperor Longqing looked at Zhu Hui with a bright and confident smile, and really wanted to tell him: Damn it! Our old Zhu family has no shortcomings except being afraid of his wife. But fear of his wife is really passed down (╥ω╥ ), your father, me, and your grandfather were as confident as you back then...
…
Xue Hong had just returned to Bowen Hou Mansion when he met Baochai and Lin Daiyu.
"Brother Hong."
"Brother Hong."
Xue Hong nodded: "Well, what are you doing?"
Baochai: "Sister Xichun's family has encountered changes. We plan to go and see her."
Lin Daiyu: "Brother Zhen from Ningguo Mansion passed away, and now he has been deprived of his title. All his family members are living in Rongguo Mansion."
Xue Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to the two women: "Please wait a moment, I will change clothes and go with you."
Daiyu looked at Baochai: "Brother Hong never likes to be too noisy. Now there is a commotion in Rongguo Mansion. Why do you want to go to Rongguo Mansion now?"
As the person who knew Xue Hong best, Baochai had some guesses: "Maybe...Brother Hong wants to meet someone."
Baochai really guessed correctly, Xue Hong's target was Jia Jing.
After all, Jia Zhen is now dead, and Jia Rong is still in jail, so Jia Jing had to come down from the mountain and come to Rongguo Mansion.
Although Jia Zhen's funeral affairs have been settled long ago, now that Ning Guo has been removed, there are still many things to deal with, such as the matter of the head of the Jia family.
Originally, when Jia Zhen died, Jia Rong should have inherited the throne, but whether it was Jia Zhen's death or Ning Guo Mansion's removal from the title, Jia Rong was the first to take the lead! Do you still want to be the clan leader? It's not his turn to be the leader of the pit!
Xue Hong led Baochai and Daiyu straight to the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion in the Marquis's carriage.
After arriving at the main gate, the gatekeeper saw the size of the car and knew that the Marquis was coming, so he hurried back to report. Not long after, Jia Zheng rushed over and asked someone to open the main gate.
Normally, even the masters of the Jia Mansion would only go in and out through the side door, while the maids and servants would go through the corner door. When Lin Daiyu came here for the first time, she used the corner door.
Daiyu was young at the time and didn't know much about many things. Looking back now, it makes people both sad and angry.
My nephew was considered a distinguished guest when he came home, but he was actually let go through the corner door!
When Jia Zheng saw that it was Xue Hong who had arrived in person, he immediately saluted: "I have met the Marquis and the county lord. I didn't know that the Marquis was coming in person, so I was not able to welcome him. I hope that the Marquis will not be offended!"
Xue Hong smiled and helped Jia Zheng up: "Master Jia, there is no need to be polite."
Baochai also smiled and said, "Uncle, there is no need to be polite."
Jia Zheng: "The etiquette cannot be discarded. Lord Marquis, please come to the county master."
Xue Hong and Jia Zheng walked side by side, but Jia Zheng turned slightly to show respect.
Baochai, on the other hand, took Daiyu's little hand and followed Xue Hong inside.
Xue Hong: "By the way, Mr. Jia, what have you been busy with your master these days?"
Jia Zheng: "Back to the Marquis, Quanzi should be studying in the school at this time."
Xue Hong nodded, it would be better if he didn't come back, otherwise he would have to find a way to deal with the big-faced Bao to prevent him from going crazy and pestering Baochai.
In the Rongxi Hall, Qin Keqing and Youshi were dressed in plain clothes, wearing mourning on their heads, and crying with pear blossoms in the rain.
Especially Qin Keqing, when she cried, she was so sad that I felt pity for her. Even Jia Mu, an old woman, felt very distressed when she saw it. She kept saying, "Oh, my child, don't cry anymore. This is the end of the matter. Don't cry too much."
Body."
Xia Jingui was very jealous when she saw Qin Keqing's beautiful appearance, but she didn't show any trace of it on her face and comforted her: "What our ancestors said is true, but please don't cry anymore."
As Qin Keqing's best friend, Wang Xifeng naturally sat next to Qin Keqing to comfort her.
Suddenly, the maid came to report.
"To report back to the old lady, madam, madam, young lady, Mr. Xue, the learned scholar in the front yard, is here and is being received by him now.
The Lord of Hengwu County and Miss Lin also came together."
Jia Mu: "Then what are you waiting for? Please come quickly!"
Baochai and Daiyu came hand in hand.
The moment they saw Baochai, everyone in the room saluted.
“I’ve met the county lord!”
Originally, Jia Mu was not required to salute as a royal concubine, but Emperor Longqing personally granted Baochai royal treatment, and Baochai was now the queen's goddaughter. Basically, anyone who was not a member of the royal family had to pay three cents of favor when meeting her.
If that's the case, then that's it. People in the Jia family might still dare to show off to their relatives and elders.
But since Xue Hong expressed his stance, everyone in the Jia family also knew that Xue Hong loved and valued Baochai.
If he really didn't give Baochai face, Xue Hong would definitely be able to bring Jia's family to death.
Among those who saluted, although Xia Jingui lowered his head, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Why, she is the head of the county at such a young age, doesn't she just fall in love with a good husband! Bah!"
