Chapter 38 It’s not the point where you have to rely on me.
After Shen Hua achieved her goal, she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, and did not look at Zhou Zhizhi's stiff face again without losing her appetite.
She stood up straight with a noble and cool look,
The mink fur she wore before was stained and had to be starched. Now she was covered in a thick clay pot gray fur.
Although it is not as good as mink fur, fur is extremely precious and can keep you warm. But Shen Hua has always found it ugly and pressed it to the bottom of the box. This is the first time she has worn it.
"Ms. Shen."
Ji Qing stood at the stairs of the corridor at some unknown time and made a gesture of invitation towards Shen Hua.
"I have invited you, and I will show you the way."
His appearance was not surprising to Shen Hua. She pursed her lips. In fact, if Cui Yun was not looking for her, she should make it clear to him.
I just hope that this life will return to the ashes, and the road will return. There is really no need to be unclear.
"Come here."
Shen Hua stepped forward, but when she passed Zhou Zhizhi, she paused for a moment. She looked at the latter arrogantly from the side, showing off her attitude of being obedient after getting an advantage.
The pale lips opened and closed, fearing that Ji Qing would hear it, and deliberately lowered his voice: "You saw it."
She sighed slightly.
"Master Hou can't live without me at all. It doesn't take long for people around him to come over and urge me. He's very clingy."
Zhou Zhizhi's hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched. With all the restraint, she suddenly stood up, and even the air around her became thinner. She tried not to break the tranquility of the years in front of others.
"Then I won't bother Mrs. Shen anymore."
With that said, she hurriedly left, almost as if she was running away.
mock up.
He still dared to show off in front of her.
Shen Hua felt refreshed and had the posture of a winner. Even her walking was much lighter than before.
His hearing was extremely clear, and his expression was faintly broken.
And here, Cui Yun has been waiting for a long time.
The room was dyed with charcoal fire. He wore a black straight dress with excellent drape, and a piece of black jade hung around his waist. The cuffs were decorated with dark patterns of flowing clouds. He looked impressive.
Seeing that it was just an accident, Ji He turned into a sneer. The confidence to kick in the door disappeared.
"This... you can't blame me."
What made Shen Hua speak so matter-of-factly?
What a good little lady, she had such beautiful thoughts, and she even deceived him!
Cui Yun didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he mentioned the matter of setting off tomorrow.
Ji He's face turned dark immediately.
"I won't go back! There was no place for me at the palace banquet last year!"
The palace banquets have been organized by the Queen for many years, with the assistance of the Ministry of Etiquette. How could such a flaw occur? It is just someone deliberately doing it.
But no one made the decision for him.
At that time, he could only stand alone. In front of him was a crowd of people drinking and drinking. In the huge palace, there was no place for him.
There is no trace of princely dignity at all.
But Emperor Geng, who was supposed to make the decision for him, never blamed the queen or punished the Ministry of Etiquette. He even called him to his side after the banquet and scolded him in a deep voice.
"Your mother must be very tired from taking care of things, so you have to think more about her."
"It's just a matter of asking the palace maid to get another chopping board, but you show off in a majestic manner? Are you making everyone laugh or are you embarrassing your mother?"
He said it lightly, but the rules in the palace were strict, and according to the etiquette, the position was also extremely important.
Is it possible for a prince like him to sit at the bottom of the table?
Emperor Yue just didn't care about Ji He, so how could he not know the twists and turns?
Ji He finally broke free from the cage and had a place to breathe at this moment. Even if New Year's Eve did not linger in front of Emperor Geng's eyes, Emperor Geng would not remember that he still had his son.
Ji He hid the loneliness in his eyes.
"Last year you were there and I became a laughing stock."
Cui Yun's expression did not change, and his clear eyes instantly resembled ink that was too thick to be melted away.
"According to the ancestral system, you should be present, and according to the rules, you must not be absent."
"After New Year's Eve, when hundreds of officials entered the palace together and walked around the palace veranda, you still couldn't catch people's attention. Why do you have to act on your own initiative and act in a hurry?"
It was he who was punished in the end.
Ji He always thought that last year's seat was the Queen's choice, and Cui Yun never told her that it was actually Concubine Jing's idea.
Concubine Jing bribed people from the Ministry of Etiquette.
The reason is nothing more than a verbal dispute between Ji He and Ji Cong a few days ago.
Ji Cong accidentally saw the peace charm hanging around Ji He's neck and naughtyly asked for it.
If it were any other object, Ji He would have given it to him instead of doing more, but this peace charm was given to him by his biological mother during her lifetime.
It is the only thing that Ji He can see and miss his biological mother.
Of course he doesn't want to.
And Ji Cong was manipulated into lawlessness by Concubine Jing. How could she rely on her after seeing that she didn't get what she wanted?
Calling it a quarrel, it was just Ji Cong pointing at Ji He and scolding him.
This matter became so big that the Queen Mother, who worshiped Buddha all year round, caught her.
The Queen Mother did not like Ji He, let alone Ji Cong.
——"It's just a peace charm, how can it compare to the love of brotherhood? He just wants you to give it. How will it end if it ends like this?"
After scolding Ji He, she immediately scolded Ji Cong.
——"How did Concubine Jing teach you? You are stupid, you have lost the royal dignity, you have never seen any treasures, and your eyelids are so shallow! If you want everything you see, how are you different from a robber?"
Because of this incident, Concubine Jing also held a grudge against Ji He.
And the queen just pushed the boat along and turned a blind eye.
Things can be one, but not two.
If Concubine Jing does it once, the emperor will allow it, but if she does it again, the emperor will be angry.
After all, it is the royal family that is embarrassed.
At this year's banquet, probably no one will dare to play tricks on Ji He.
What's more, this is the first year since the third prince Ji Ji returned to the court.
Ji He let out a deep breath.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
While the two were talking, the door was knocked by someone from outside. Then Ji Qing called respectfully.
"Master."
Cui Yun said calmly: "Come in."
A harsh 'creak' sound was the sound of the door being pushed open.
This inn has been open for more than ten years. Although it is repaired every year, Ji He kicked it just now and it was trembling when he opened the door.
Shen Hua walked forward thoughtfully.
"Ms. Shen, sit down."
Cui Yun has a calm and calm demeanor.
Shen Hua never thought that there were other people in the room. Cui Yun saw him, but not alone. He was indeed a gentleman, paying attention to the etiquette and rules of the family. She was undoubtedly relieved.
"My dear friend, you may not like to hear some words, but I have to say them."
As soon as she sat down, Shen Hua took a step towards Cui Yun.
"But this matter must be cut quickly."
Cui Yun's voice was cold: "Ms. Shen, you may have misunderstood."
But she was immersed in her own world and spoke tactfully.
"While your interest in me hasn't reached the point where you really want me, why don't you just call it a day? Make an offer."
Cui Yun:……
Shen Hua: "It's okay if you don't drive. I will definitely accept your kindness. Why don't I make you a plaque with gold. This time the red silk package will have people beating gongs and drums to follow the carriage and take you all the way back to Shengjing."
"
This scene is quite grand.
This thank you is sincere enough.
Shen Hua waited eagerly for Cui Yun to agree.
Cui Yun's lips moved.
"It's my fault that I didn't explain it in time, so you had such interesting ideas."
A 'boom' sound sounded like a thunder in Shen Hua's ears.
