Chapter 446: What Does Xing Guogong Mean?

Chu Liuchen looked at Mrs. Xingguo with a gentle smile, as if he was just talking casually, but Xiao Xuanzi, who was standing behind him, immediately fixed his gloomy eyes on Mrs. Xingguo.

One of the two masters and servants was as gentle and graceful as an unparalleled young man, while the other was as gloomy as a poisonous snake. This feeling made the smile on Mrs. Xingguo's face stiffen, and she hurriedly saluted: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, but I don't see your Highness very often." , momentarily shocked!”

"Mrs. Xingguo is really rare!" The smile on Chu Liuchen's face is still there, and he even feels more and more gentle. "It's just that Mrs. Xingguo pays so much attention to this king, which will make me think that Mrs. Xingguo is looking at me!"

This tone was extremely frivolous and should not be what such a gentle young man should say. Mrs. Xingguo's face turned red and she was filled with embarrassment and anger.

How could her daughter marry this sick man, and he was also a hopeless sick man?

He twisted the handkerchief fiercely and replied hurriedly: "Your Majesty is joking. Your Majesty is so proud that others can't imagine it!"

Who would want a dead person who has no future and is still alive?

"Not others can think about it, but your Duke Xingguo's house can think about it. I heard that the eldest lady is not only beautiful, but also..."

Chu Liuchen's words became more and more frivolous. It was hard for people to believe that such words were said by him. Like a young man walking out of an ink painting landscape, the beauty seemed to be the person in the painting, but these few words made people listen. No matter how you listen to it, it's so annoying that it even makes people feel that it's contrary to harmony. It's deeply contrary to harmony.

And what he said to Miss Shao, who was said to be the most knowledgeable and courteous in Beijing, was almost contemptuous, as if he was just mentioning an ordinary woman without any respect.

"Your Majesty is joking. What orders does the Queen Mother have when Your Majesty comes this time?" Duke Xingguo had to step in to help. If he continued to talk like this, his daughter's reputation would be damaged.

Compared with his son, he also has high hopes for his daughter, but he cannot let his daughter have the slightest flaw.

"Mr.

Chu Liuchen didn't say anything, but placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. His eyes were cold, and the smile on his face that was as gentle as the spring breeze in March immediately disappeared without a trace.

"What does Xingguo Gong mean? Is it possible that this king cannot tell the eldest lady of your house? Is your eldest lady not planning to marry the royal family? Well, after I return to the palace, I will ask the royal grandmother to give her to your family. The eldest lady can grant a marriage to anyone, as long as they are not from the royal family!"

The young master, who had a gentle smile just now, turned cold and cold after a while, and his handsome and delicate facial features showed a sinister and eerie look in his slightly raised phoenix eyes.

And what he said made Duke Xingguo and his wife even more horrified. How could this daughter, who they had devoted more effort to than their son, be destroyed in the hands of Chu Liuchen, a damn sick man like this?

Duke Xingguo glanced at his wife, who immediately responded and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, how dare you say such big words. What kind of person you choose, and whether you choose well or not, are all the favor of the royal family, absolutely. I don’t dare to think in vain. I was just worried about what the Queen Mother would give me, so I lost my etiquette in a hurry. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Duke Xingguo held his hands behind his back tightly, and the veins in his hands were exposed, but a smile appeared on his face, and he apologized: "Your Majesty, I am really rude to you. If you want to punish me, just punish me." Lord!"

A man who is suffering from a fatal illness actually dares to deceive himself to this extent!

But this was what he said from his heart. Duke Xingguo hid it deeply without exposing it at all, showing just the right amount of panic and panic.

At this time, he had to give in. He thought that this sick and troubled boy shouldn't be too much. He was an important minister of the imperial court, and it was not something that this sick and troubled boy could deal with if he wanted to. He was afraid that this damn sick and troubled boy wouldn't be able to deal with him. But he went to deal with his own daughter.

This is what Duke Xing Guo fears the most. His daughter, who has been raised to be very charming and beautiful, will become a noble person in the future, which is something Chu Liuchen can never imagine.

Sure enough, Chu Liuchen's face became kinder, and the gentle and jade-like smile reappeared on his face, which made him look like a noble and beautiful young man again, as if the cold and sly young master just now was not him. Similar.

"The Imperial Grandmother just asked me to come and see the fifth young lady who has recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan. Previously, the Imperial Grandmother also said that in order to appease the eldest princess Ruian, she would let people come and have a look." Chu Liuchen stretched out his slender fingers and gently He knocked on the table lightly and said with a gentle and indifferent expression.

It turned out that she was just invited by the eldest princess Ruian to come and see her as a favor. Mrs. Xingguo secretly wiped her hands with cold sweat.

"Madam, please get up!" Chu Liuchen said with a smile.

Xiao Xuanzi walked out from behind him, which meant that he was coming to support Mrs. Xingguo in person.

Mrs. Xingguo didn't dare to let Xiao Xuanzi help her, so she hurriedly stood up on her own, and then saluted Chu Liuchen, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"Is Qin Wanru really the fifth young lady of your mansion?" Chu Liuchen became curious and turned his attention from the eldest lady of the Xingguo Duke's mansion to Qin Wanru, who seemed very interested.

Duke Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Chu Liuchen would be interested in his daughter. This was also an important reason why he deliberately sent his daughter away from the capital to go to Yuhui Temple outside the city.

His daughter did not want to marry this sick man, but she was afraid that this sick man would fall in love with his daughter. Duke Xingguo knew very well how much the Queen Mother and the Emperor valued this sick man, so he did not want to marry Chu Liu at all. Duke Xingguo felt good that Chen's connection could draw Chu Liuchen's attention from his daughter to Qin Wanru.

He even thought about how Chu Liuchen had rescued Qin Wanru at the palace gate before. If he used it well, could he get them to be a couple?

If the two of them become a couple, his daughter will be safe.

It is impossible for the two legitimate daughters of the Xingguo Duke to marry the same person, and one is the wife and the other is the concubine. Moreover, his own daughter is the most noble eldest daughter.

After thinking about this clearly, Duke Xingguo winked at Duke Xingguo's wife. They had been married for many years, so they still had this tacit understanding.

"It is natural that the child in our house is the daughter of the eldest brother and Princess Qinghua. There is no doubt about this. The eldest princess Ruian and her mother-in-law have said so. It can be seen that it is true. This child is also a pitiful one. Although She is outstanding, but she lives outside. If she had been raised in the capital, she would have been even more outstanding than Ru'er!"

Mrs. Xingguo wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and became sad.

"Is she really the daughter of your house?" Chu Liuchen seemed to be unconvinced and asked again.

"Yes, it is indeed true." Mrs. Xingguo recognized it immediately. As for Qin Wanru's life experience, after she sent two people to slander it, it was a conclusion. She couldn't make a fuss about it anymore. , it is better to recognize her directly now, so that people can avoid doubts about her.

If Chu Liuchen wanted the daughter of Duke Xingguo, then this one would be fine. A sick and dying child paired with a bastard would not be a good match.

"My lord, madam, the fifth lady is here!" A woman came in to report.

"Please, please quickly!" Mrs. Xingguo's eyes lit up and she kept saying, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Chu Liuchen would involve her daughter.

Qin Wanru walked in slowly with Yu Jie. When he entered the back room, he first bowed to Chu Liuchen, then to Duke Xingguo and his wife, and then stood aside politely without speaking.

The room became eerily quiet for a moment, and I didn't even know what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Xingguo reacted quite quickly. She coughed, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Wanyu, His Highness King Chen came to see you at the request of the Queen Mother."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Qin Wanru was not sure what Chu Liuchen was here for, so he respectfully said in a gentle voice that remained unchanged despite all changes.

"Mrs. Xingguo and Duke Xingguo, can you please step aside for a while? I have a private question from the Queen's grandmother." Chu Liuchen said with a smile, handsome and elegant.

"Yes, I'm going to retire!" Duke Xingguo said hurriedly, and after looking at each other, he and his wife retreated out together.

The two of them didn't suspect anything else. The Queen Mother might want to ask Qin Wanru for some specific information. Of course, this was all for the sake of Princess Ruian. The relationship between Princess Ruian and the Queen Mother's sister-in-law was extremely harmonious. of.

Of course, if Qin Wanru and Chu Liuchen knew each other, they would be very willing.

Without hesitation, he retreated to the side room and waited for them to finish speaking.

Chu Liuchen and Qin Wanru were the only four masters and servants left in the hall. Chu Liuchen pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come and sit!"

Qin Wanru sighed helplessly and could only sit down on the chair. She raised her watery eyes with a hint of confusion as if she had just woken up from sleep. She looked extremely gentle.

Of course, the softness is only on the surface, but Chu Liuchen knows the sharp claws underneath her soft appearance.

However, he likes it!

"Why did the prince come today?" Qin Wanru didn't believe that Chu Liuchen really came for the Queen Mother. Who was he? Even if the Queen Mother had no one to control her, it was impossible for her to use him.

"Of course I'm here to see how you are doing? The fifth lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion?" Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of frivolity, "Want to live in Duke Xingguo's mansion?"

"If I don't want to, I won't live here!" Qin Wanru didn't mean to hide anything and shook her head straightforwardly.

"Oh, tell me, why?" Chu Liuchen seemed to be interested. He looked at her sideways and smiled more and more. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"I'm still young. If I stay here, I will be under too much control. Not only will I have no freedom, I may even be in danger!" Qin Wanru's water eyes turned slightly, her eyes were like clear water, and the snowy and beautiful face reflected in her eyes became more and more outstanding. .

"Then where do you want to go?" Chu Liuchen was not surprised by this and chuckled. Although it was a bit cold, it was extremely elegant.
