Chapter 595: My Fair Lady, What a Gentleman!

"What's going on?" Chu Liuyue put down the wine glass in her hand and asked calmly.

He was sitting under a restaurant. On the street facing the restaurant, he could just see Princess Ruian's car arriving in a hurry and then leaving in a hurry. With such a large group of people, everyone was shocked by the momentum.

"It is said that the eldest princess went to Xingguo Duke's Mansion to beat up Miss Shao Wu because she was poisoned." Xiao Qizi reported.

"I'm poisoned. How can I be poisoned when I'm on the mountain? Didn't I say that nothing happened yesterday?" Chu Liuyue frowned and said.

The secret guard returned to the house last night. Although Miss Shao Wu seemed to have difficulty walking and must have really sprained her foot, there was no suggestion of poisoning.

"This slave doesn't know. It's just that there are rumors among the people below that after the fifth lady sprained her foot, the eldest lady gave her a bottle of ointment, which was mixed with conflicting medicines. Not only would it not make the foot heal, but it would also It will still rot and suppurate, and everyone is wondering if Miss Shao really did this!" Xiao Qizi lowered his head and said.

Chu Liuyue's brows furrowed more and more, with a bit of displeasure on her face. Shao Yanru had been getting more and more busy recently, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually did such a thing at this time.

"How about asking someone to check..." Chu Liuyue paused here, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, we won't check in advance, let's see what happens!"

He couldn't go to Yuhui Temple with too many people. Who knows who else's manpower was there. If Shao Yanru hadn't been sure of what he said yesterday, he wouldn't have rashly sent secret guards there.

Unexpectedly, the secret meeting between Shao Wanru and Chu Qing or the passing of the note were not found out. Instead, Shao Yanru was seen secretly having an affair with Qiu Yu. According to this meaning, she even had something to do with Chu Qing.

The wine glass in his hand fell, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes. Shao Yanru was his favorite candidate for the concubine. This was the critical moment for him to choose his concubine, and there was really no room for any mistakes.

But inexplicably, it felt very cloying, as if there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. It was just a woman. In fact, if Shao Yanru didn't share his heart, he didn't have to choose Shao Yanru.

Although he admired Shao Yanru's appearance, what he cared more about was the background behind Shao Yanru and how much Shao Yanru's intelligence would help him...

Xiao Qizi didn't dare to speak, and just stood with his head down. His master liked Miss Shao, and they had a good relationship with Miss Shao in private. In Xiao Qizi's view, Miss Shao was his family. He actually wanted to speak to his future mistress, but His Highness's cold face made him dare not say another word.

After His Highness heard the news from the secret guard last night, His Highness didn't seem very happy when he mentioned Miss Shao.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen San is here!" A guard reported at the door of the private room.

"Invite him in!" Chu Liuyue raised her head and said gently, with a smile on her face that was clouded just now.

The door was pushed open, and Wen Xichi walked in slowly, stood in front of Chu Liuyue and bowed deeply to Chu Liuyue, "Your Highness, King Yue!"

"Yuan Qing doesn't have to be polite, just sit down!" Chu Liuyue smiled and pointed to the chair opposite. The two of them have known each other since childhood, so there is no need to be too polite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wen Xichi cupped his hands and sat down opposite him with a smile.

The young man cleverly put down a set of tableware, poured a glass of wine for Wen Xichi, and then stood aside to wait.

"Try it and see how it tastes?" Chu Liuyue said with a smile.

Wen Xichi picked up the wine glass, took a sip carefully, and then his eyes lit up, "Good wine!"

"Of course it's good wine. This king specially found it from the tribute wine. I know you like to drink this kind of wine, so I specially asked my father to give it to you. It's just this little bit. If you pour it all, it's just five pots, one cup. You will bring two pots back!" Chu Liuyue laughed loudly, and also picked up the wine glass in her hand and touched it with Wen Xichi, "Did it?"

"It's okay to do it. I just ordered such a good wine. Naturally, I have to taste it carefully. I have the audacity to thank His Highness for the wine!" Wen Xichi smiled and waved his hand leisurely, and then He picked it up and tasted it carefully, and his smile became more and more gentle.

"How can I say thank you? You helped me a lot with what happened before. I am the one thanking you here!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, took back the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded again and again, "Although I I don’t like this type of wine, it’s a bit too sweet, but it’s still great to taste!”

"Your Majesty, it's just a little effort. Your Majesty's great kindness to us will always be remembered in our hearts!" Wen Xichi smiled and took another sip of the wine in the glass.

The color of the wine is extremely sweet, with a light fruity taste, just like in the memory, as if I have drank it before, but after tasting it carefully, I know that I have never drank it before.

He himself was surprised that he would like to drink such sweet wine, instead of drinking stronger wine like most men.

"Why bother mentioning it again and again? Yuan Qing is just worried about it, so he can see the eldest princess's car just now?" Chu Liuyue's smile became gentler.

"Of course I saw it. What's going on with the eldest princess?" When Wen Xichi came over, he only saw the back of the eldest princess Ruian driving the car, but he heard various opinions from the crowd, which related to two people in the Xingguo Duke's mansion. A young lady.

"I heard that Miss Shao Wu sprained her foot and the medicine she used was sent by Duke Xingguo. Miss Shao and Miss Shao Wu each had a bottle, but the bottle Miss Shao Wu used was mixed with other medicines. Not only will it not heal quickly, but it may also cause the foot to rot. The eldest princess was so angry that she went to Xingguo Duke’s Mansion and made a big fuss!"

Chu Liuyue said casually.

"There was something about Baiyun Temple before, why is it happening now...Does Duke Xingguo really dislike Miss Shao Wu to this extent?"

Wen Xichi frowned and said doubtfully.

"Who knows!" Chu Liuyue said calmly, "But Miss Shao Wu is also very noisy. It seems that she has been very noisy since she entered Beijing!"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Although Wen Xichi still had a smile on his face, his eyes were a little darker.

"I have met Miss Shao before, but she is a rare gentle beauty. She also has a good family background and an excellent reputation. She should not be able to do such a thing, not to mention that my father also has her. It means she will be selected... It is extremely unfavorable for her to spread such words at this time!"

Chu Liuyue said casually, as if chatting.

Naturally, the purpose of his visit today was to meet Wen Xichi, and indeed he wanted to talk about Baiyunguan. The incident about the eldest princess Ruian just now made it easier for him to get involved in this matter.

"The prince wants to choose her as his concubine?" Wen Xichi's heart moved, but his face was expressionless.

"This is what I think, but now..." Chu Liuyue said with a melancholy face, "Father will not allow a woman with a flawed reputation to be my royal concubine, but this king..."

Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment after saying this, as if she was a little embarrassed. She picked up the wine glass in her hand and drank it all before putting the glass down heavily. She looked at Wen Xichi sincerely and said, "My Fair Lady." , A gentleman likes to be polite, and I am not exempt from vulgarity. I would be very lucky to have Miss Shao as my princess!"

"Your Majesty, if it were Miss Shao in the past, it would be no problem to be selected. When the time comes, Your Majesty can go and report this matter to the Emperor, but now..." Wen Xichi coughed, "I'm afraid this matter is not good. manage!"

"So we have to ask Yuan Qing for help, this king..." Chu Liuyue's face turned slightly red, showing the admiration of young people, "Miss Shao is really the person I admire, and I really don't want to let her go." If someone else marries her, she has to marry her back home to be more stable!"

Wen Xichi lowered his head and was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, "Since it is the prince's wish, I will do my best to serve you!"

"Thank you Yuan Qing!" Chu Liuyue was overjoyed, stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Xichi.

Wen Xichi hurriedly stood up and supported Chu Liuyue, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. Your Majesty will never forget your great kindness to everyone in the Wen family!"

"Yuan Qing, it's just a little effort, it's nothing!" Chu Liuyue waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

"For the prince, it's a small effort, but for me, it's a life-saving grace for the whole family." Wen Xichi said with a serious face.

Chu Liuyue was kind to the Wen family. Speaking of which, it was because of Wen Xiang. A few years ago, a corruption case was implicated in Wen Xiang's head. All doubts pointed to Wen Xiang. The emperor was furious. When it came time to seize Wen's mansion, it was Chu Liuyue who took the lead and knelt down in the imperial study room to plead with Wen Xiang, which delayed the matter slightly.

Later, he helped to find out the matter and even contributed repeatedly. When talking about this matter, Wen was always grateful to Chu Liuyue and asked everyone in the family to pay attention to King Yue's matter.

But after the incident was over, Chu Liuyue and Wen Xiangfu did not get very close. They only met in court to say hello. It is said that when the emperor asked about the matter later, he only said that he was with Wen San. The young master has had good relations since he was a child, and he knew very well that Wen Xiang was unlikely to do such a thing, so as to prevent his loyal minister from being framed, so he intervened in this matter.

Now that this matter is over, the rest has nothing to do with him. The most important thing for him is for the sake of Mr. Wen San.

At that time, Young Master Wen was just an idle scholar. Even though he had always been talented, he was not yet an official. Moreover, he was still young at that time, and the relationship between Chu Liuyue and Young Master Wen had always been very good, so no one Use this matter to attack Chu Liuyue for forming cliques to gain personal gain.

But no matter how long it took, everyone in Prime Minister Wen's house was still grateful to Chu Liuyue.

Even though the two families did not have close contact after that, this incident was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Wen family.

The two of them chatted casually, and then a guard came to report that the emperor wanted Chu Liuyue to enter the palace, so Chu Liuyue had to leave, leaving Wen Xichi Shang alone in the private room.

Picking up the wine at hand and tasting it carefully, Wen Xichi lowered his eyes, unable to see clearly the joy and anger in his eyes. He could only look at the empty wine glass in his hand quietly. My fair lady, how dare you, a gentleman? There was a very faint smile on the lips, very cold, very cool...
