Chapter 694 Only invite her alone?
Liu Hongyu was wondering why His Highness Prince Qi was here. He was stunned when he heard this and made a gesture to Zhao Ruxi: "Go back to His Highness Prince Qi, farmland and water conservancy affairs will all belong to Mr. Zhao."
In charge."
"Your Majesty Zhao Ruxi, I have met His Royal Highness King Qi." Zhao Ruxi then stepped forward and bowed.
Xiao Lingyan nodded slightly: "Master Zhao, there is no need to be too polite. In this case, I will trouble you, Master Zhao, to follow me for a walk in the fields."
Liu Hongyu and others were stunned again.
Although their place is not far from the capital, because it is a small place and has no characteristics, few dignitaries come here. The people who come here to build a village are their housekeepers. Now a prince has come, it is a rare opportunity.
They all have the idea of flattery and intimacy.
Now Xiao Lingyan only asked Zhao Ruxi to accompany him, and everyone was very disappointed.
Even Cai Yaozong, who was in the prince's camp and should not be involved with King Qi, felt very regretful. More than a month ago, he was in charge of farmland and water conservancy. Today's glory should belong to him.
This is true for Cai Yaozong, not to mention Liu Hongyu and Li Li who have no backstage.
Liu Hongyu looked at Zhao Ruxi, waiting for her invitation.
If Zhao Ruxi was sensible, he would have invited him as a superior officer to go with him because he had just arrived in Nanyang to take office and was not familiar with Nanyang's affairs. Then it would be a matter of course for him to go together.
The King of Qi is a young prince, and Zhao Ruxi is an unmarried young woman. Even if she has the ambition to become a dragon and a phoenix, she is too embarrassed to go out alone with the King of Qi, right? At this time, criticism is flying everywhere?
Zhao Ruxi is a smart person and should know how to protect himself.
But what disappointed him was that Zhao Ruxi just bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Liu Hongyu's eyes deepened, and his thoughts quickly weighed the difference between Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Lingyan. He bowed decisively and deeply, and said to Xiao Lingyan: "Master Zhao is a woman, and it is inconvenient to go to the fields. Why don't you accompany His Highness Prince Qi for a walk?"
I have been in Nanyang for many years and am familiar with all aspects of Nanyang."
As soon as these words came out, both Cai Yaozong and Li Li secretly scolded Liu Hongyu for being shameless, feeling extremely jealous.
If Liu Hongyu said this, the King of Qi would definitely not reject him. After all, he is the chief official of a state, and the King of Qi must give him some face.
Moreover, he pointed out the identity of Zhao Ruxi's woman. No one who cares about the defense of men and women will let Zhao Ruxi accompany him anymore, lest others criticize the King of Qi for damaging the reputation of female officials.
"No need." Xiao Lingyan said lightly, "Just Mr. Zhao and I go and have a look."
He looked up at Zhao Ruxi and asked: "Since this is Mr. Zhao's official business, do you think that because you are a woman, you will let other adults perform your duties on your behalf?"
"Xiaguan has no such thoughts. Xiaguan will accompany the prince to the fields for a look." Zhao Ruxi still lowered his head.
Xiao Lingyan nodded: "Okay, let's go then." As he said that, he turned and walked towards the horse held by the guard.
After hearing Xiao Lingyan's words, Xiang Ming quickly went to the stables to fetch Zhao Ruxi and their horses. Zhao Ruxi quickly got on the horse under the watchful eyes of Liu Hongyu and others, and followed Xiao Lingyan and his party out of the city.
It wasn't until there was no trace of the group of people that the people standing at the door of the Yamen returned to the Yamen under the leadership of Liu Hongyu.
Li Li silently followed Cai Yaozong up the steps, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Has His Highness, King Qi, ever been married?"
He just saw Zhao Ruxi and King Qi standing together. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were both in their prime years. He felt for no reason that they were a perfect match.
When he thought about Xiao Lingyan's special trip to the Yamen, asking Zhao Ruxi to go with him instead of Liu Hongyu, he couldn't help but think about the relationship between men and women.
Cai Yaozong paused in his steps and his face changed slightly.
Liu Hongyu was not of a high level and had little contact with the capital. He only contacted the Linjiang government office for any affairs in Nanyang. He was not familiar with the situation in Beijing, and he did not know whether any of the princes were married. After hearing what Li Li said, he was also very
curious.
Seeing Cai Yaozong stop and change his expression, he felt nervous, stopped quickly, and asked Cai Yaozong nervously: "How is it?"
Cai Yaozong said: "His Royal Highness King Qi seems to have never been married. I heard that the emperor was very anxious and angry because of this matter."
Liu Hongyu's face changed and turned pale.
It's over, it's over. If King Qi came specifically for Zhao Zhiwei, then if he just ran out to stop him and even recommended himself, wouldn't he be disgusted by King Qi? He originally wanted to flatter Zhao Zhiwei, but ended up patting him on the back.
"His Royal Highness King Qi and Mr. Zhao..." He wanted to ask Cai Yaozong to confirm the relationship between Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi, but in the middle of the conversation, he quickly stopped the car.
Don't say this nonsense. If rumors spread about the prince's private affairs, his career will be over.
Furthermore, Cai Yaozong would not know whether Xiao Lingyan was related to Zhao Ruxi.
He quickly changed his words to make amends: "Ahem, I mean, His Highness King Qi is with Mr. Zhao, so we don't have to worry about it. We can just do whatever we need to do. We're all gone now."
With that said, he took the lead in entering his house.
Several other people also entered the house.
After entering the room, everyone was not at peace. They were all thinking about the possibility of Zhao Ruxi becoming Princess Qi, whether they had offended Zhao Ruxi too hard, and whether they had eased off later.
On the other hand, Xiao Lingyan was relieved when he saw that Zhao Ruxi was very skillful in riding a horse. After leaving the city gate, he slowed down and waited for Zhao Ruxi's horse to come forward.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ruxi stepped forward on horseback, stood side by side with him, and looked at Xiao Lingyan with questioning eyes.
The way Xiao Lingyan acted today was completely different from what they had discussed.
Originally, it was planned to let Liu Hongyu and Cai Yaozong go out of the city together. Then the two of them would not have to interact alone. After Xiao Lingyan returned to Beijing, he proposed the idea of getting engaged to Xiao Ge.
Xiao Lingyan laughed and said, "The situation has changed."
It was windy today, so it was difficult to hear what was said on the horse. From a distance, he saw farmers working in the fields, so he simply stopped the horse and turned over.
When Zhao Ruxi also dismounted and walked up to him, he repeated what Xiao Ge told him and said: "I am pursuing my wife according to the order, so naturally I don't have to go through such a big detour."
Then he asked: "Where is Mr. Kumu, do you want to tell him in advance?"
The elders of the Suiping residence all listened to Zhao Ruxi, and now the only obstacle between the two was Kang Shilin.
Zhao Ruxi thought for a while and said: "Just grant the marriage. I will explain it to the master later."
No matter what happens, Kang Shilin will be angry about this matter, so he should settle the marriage first to avoid more troubles.
"Okay, that's what I mean too," Xiao Lingyan said.
The two of them came out not just to show off, but to really ask the old farmers in the fields about their thoughts on farm tools.
