Chapter 7 Beauty’s Neck Marks
Zhu Cixuan thought of Chen Meijing's peerless beauty, and his heart became hot, and he just wanted to see her immediately.
At this moment, after getting along with Chen Xiangming today, he felt that Zhu Cixuan focused on the overall situation, had clear thinking, and acted maturely and steadily. He already believed what he said: Yesterday, he fell in love with his daughter at first sight, but he was too excited at a young age and behaved wildly.
Now that he has agreed to King Ji's marriage proposal, there is no harm in letting the prince go to see his daughter.
Chen Xiangming nodded:
"Your Majesty, please follow me."
Chen Xiangming saluted King Ji Zhu Youli and went ahead.
Zhu Cizhen saluted his father and hurriedly followed Chen Xiangming.
The Changsha Magistrate's Office is much smaller than the Prince Ji's Palace, only about one-fifth of its size.
In about half a quarter of an hour, the two of them walked to a courtyard in the backyard of the prefect's Yamen.
When the two maids standing in front of the courtyard gate saw Chen Xiangming, they bowed and said in unison:
"Master."
Chen Xiangming nodded, led Zhu Cixuan into the courtyard, and asked him to sit in the side room for a while.
"Your Majesty, please sit down for a moment while I go in first and talk to my daughter."
When Zhu Cizhen heard that Chen Xiangming changed his name to "I am old man", he got a lot closer and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, please excuse me. My nephew is waiting here."
Chen Xiangming smiled and nodded, and walked into the courtyard from the path.
Zhu Cixuan sipped two sips of the tea brought by the maid, looked around the courtyard, and thought to himself: "The traditional Chinese architecture is still beautiful, with carved beams and painted buildings, and winding paths leading to quiet places. It feels very comfortable to live in.
When I return to the palace, I have to carefully choose a palace to be the wedding room for me and Mei Jing."
Zhu Cixuan couldn't help grinning when he thought that he had found a beautiful woman as his wife just after traveling through time.
Then I thought again: Now that my father and father-in-law have agreed, we must seize the time to start a profitable business.
What kind of business should I do? I still have a dark eye on the business situation of this era. I remember hearing that my personal eunuch Deng Zhong said that he had a younger brother who worked as a clerk in a business firm.
"Your Majesty, please come in with me."
Chen Xiangming's words interrupted Zhu Cixuan's meditation.
Zhu Cizhen stood up, adjusted his clothes, and followed Chen Xiangming to a boudoir.
Chen Xiangming said a little embarrassed:
"Your Majesty, I have already made peace with my daughter. But my daughter is young and ignorant after all. If your temper tantrums you, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Cixuan said quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Shi, my nephew has come specially to apologize to the eldest lady. All the faults are mine. I must coax her well."
Chen Xiangming smiled, thinking what he said was interesting, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhu Cizhen to enter the boudoir. When Zhu Cizhen walked in, Chen Xiangming immediately walked to his wife's room.
Zhu Cixuan stepped into the boudoir. The boudoir was divided into two parts: front and back. At this moment, sitting at the table in the middle of the living room, was a charming young girl. A charming personal maid stood beside her.
Zhu Cixuan's eyes immediately shone, and the girl sitting there was none other than Chen Meijing.
Chen Meijing looked at him, her face flushed, a sad look flashed in her eyes, and she quickly looked away.
He stood up reluctantly, saluted and said:
"The daughter of the people meets the crown prince of Prince Ji."
The sound is like an oriole emerging from the valley, which is extremely beautiful.
The maid Yan'er beside her followed her and saluted Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Cizhen originally wanted to reach out to help Chen Meijing, but he was afraid that the rules of etiquette between men and women would seem abrupt at this time, which would increase Chen Meijing's misunderstanding of him.
Zhu Cixuan quickly returned the gift:
"Miss, in this life... I deserve death! Yesterday I offended the eldest lady, and it was because I fell in love with the eldest lady at first sight, and I was so distracted that I didn't know what I was doing. Please forgive me for being confused!
”
Chen Meijing listened to his sincerity and called herself a subordinate, speaking humbly. Her father explained the whole story. She was originally worried that if she married into Prince Ji's palace, she would be ignored by her disciple Zhu Cixuan, who liked the new and disliked the old.
Chen Meijing said calmly: "Your Majesty, please sit down. How dare you, the daughter of the people, blame your Majesty."
Zhu Cixuan happily sat down on the chair beside the table. After a while, he looked at Chen Meijing carefully, and the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her.
Chen Meijing was angry and ashamed, so she had to lower her head and remain silent.
After all, Zhu Cixuan is a master of the thinking and behavior of people in the 21st century, but he is not aware of the frivolity of his behavior.
The maid Yan'er beside Chen Meijing glared at Zhu Cixuan fiercely, but he didn't notice.
Zhu Cixuan carefully admired Chen Meijing from her long hair to her neck, and suddenly noticed a faint red mark on her neck.
It was the mark left when I threw the ring in the morning.
Zhu Cixuan felt great pain in his heart. He had caused such a beauty to suffer such great injustice, and he almost lost her.
Zhu Cixuan stretched out his right hand fiercely and slapped himself hard:
"You deserve to die! You made the eldest lady suffer such great injustice! Beat this bastard to death!"
There was a "pop" sound, and Zhu Cixuan's handsome face became a little red and swollen in a moment.
Chen Meijing and her maid Yan'er were stunned for a moment.
Chen Meijing said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
She tried to persuade her repeatedly, but Zhu Cixuan just stretched out his hand and slapped her in the face, saying:
"Miss, if you are not really willing to forgive me, I will not stop!"
In Chen Meijing's mind, Wang Shizi's slap in the face was beyond her imagination, for fear of causing trouble. Seeing Zhu Cixuan slap herself hard again, she couldn't help but be moved, and her heart suddenly softened.
Chen Meijing became anxious, and regardless of the difference between men and women, she stretched out her hands and grabbed Zhu Cixuan's right hand, crying:
"Your Majesty! I know your sincerity now, please don't hit yourself again! Woohoo."
Zhu Cizhen immediately stretched out his hands to hold Chen Meijing's jade-like hand, and said sincerely:
"Meijing, you don't know how much I love you! I feel so sad when I see the marks on your neck.
In this life, I will love you with all my heart and make you happy forever! Be the most beautiful and happiest princess in the world!"
Zhu Cizhen didn't know whether he had a lot of love for Chen Meijing in his heart, or whether he wanted to conquer Chen Xiangming as a help?
When Chen Meijing heard his confession, she felt happy and ashamed at the moment, and nodded slightly. She wanted to take out her hands, but was held tightly by Zhu Cixuan.
Yan'er also wetted her eyes and felt happy, seeing that Zhu Cixuan really liked her eldest daughter.
Zhu Cizhen held Chen Meijing's jade-like hand, feeling satisfied and said:
"Meijing, today I will ask my father to report to the clan and choose an auspicious day for you and me to get married as soon as possible."
Chen Meijingyu's face turned redder, and she nodded again invisibly.
At this time, a maid outside the door reported:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Mr. Chen invite you to come together to inspect and provide relief to the victims."
Zhu Cizhen knew that it was Chen Xiangming who came to urge him to leave. After all, even engaged men and women must avoid suspicion when they are alone in a room at this time.
Zhu Cizhen took out two small packages from his arms, handed the larger one to Chen Meijing with both hands, and said:
"Meijing, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a few days before we get married. I asked my mother to choose these jade bracelets. I brought them to you specially this time. I hope you like them."
Zhu Cixuan opened the package, and a pair of exquisite and luxurious jade bracelets appeared in front of him.
At this moment, Chen Meijing's impression of Zhu Cixuan had completely changed. Seeing that he acted steadily and was careful and gentle towards her, her heart was secretly in love with him.
Chen Meijing blushed and took the bracelet, her voice like a gnat:
"Your Majesty, I look forward to your coming to marry you every day."
By the end of the words, it was almost inaudible.
Zhu Cixuan smiled and nodded vigorously. In a blink of an eye, he said to Yan'er who was standing next to Chen Meijing:
"This must be Yan'er? Thank you for saving the eldest lady in time this morning, so that I did not make a big mistake that I regret.
This pair of gold jewelry is for you."
Push the small package in front of Yan'er.
Yan'er looked at the eldest lady Chen Meijing and saw her nodding slightly. She quickly saluted and said:
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. It is your duty to serve a good young lady. Thank you very much, Your Majesty for your gift."
Zhu Cixuan knew he couldn't stay any longer, so it would be pointless to have Chen Xiangming come to urge him in person.
Immediately, he saluted Chen Meijing, and Chen Meijing quickly returned the gift, with tears in her eyes, but they were tears of love.
