Chapter 402 Qin Yuru Is Missing!

"Don't worry, sir, I will inform you right now!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded repeatedly, smiling brightly. He knew that his father was different from Miss Qin Er. Just look at when His Highness Prince Cheng was about to tell which young lady he was interested in. The jade pendant in my hand was broken.

The jade pendant had been held in my master's hand before, how could it be broken so easily!

Look at this, it’s just right without breaking!

The first thing Xiao Xuanzi went to find was Princess Ruian. Princess Ruian was easy to find. She was in the flower hall in the middle. Today Princess Ruian was the host to receive these young ladies from aristocratic families.

All the ladies came from various families. Without ladies to lead them, all the ladies looked very shy. Although there were some ladies who had unlimited thoughts about Prince Cheng, there were also some ladies who felt that they were not the same as themselves about Prince Cheng’s selection of concubines. Misses who have nothing to do with each other, but because these ladies are still young, they dare not act presumptuously in front of the eldest princess Ruian.

Xiao Xuanzi looked at the mother-in-law beside the eldest princess Ruian and waved to her. The mother-in-law came over in a hurry. She was actually someone she knew. That was even easier.

She passed Chu Liuchen's words in a low voice, and watched the woman squeeze into the crowd and say something to Princess Ruian. Princess Ruian glanced over and saw Xiao Xuanzi, and nodded calmly. nod.

Now that Princess Ruian's words had reached her, Xiao Xuanzi took a quick look and saw that Qin Wanru was not in the flower hall, so he exited the flower hall.

Go to the main road leading from the flower hall.

Halfway down the road, I saw two young ladies from the Qin Mansion walking over, one behind the other, clearly distinguishable.

The one walking in front was the eldest lady of the Qin family, who was accompanied by a maid, and her face looked bad. The one behind was the second lady, who looked very peaceful, and looked very gentle and natural when she raised her eyes.

He ducked onto a path beside the road and winked at Yu Jie who was walking over.

Yu Jie had already seen Xiao Xuanzi. After being stunned for a moment, she stretched out her hand and pulled Qin Wanru's sleeve. Qin Wanru looked sideways and saw Xiao Xuanzi.

Looking at Qin Yuru, whose footsteps were getting bigger and bigger, Qin Wanru stopped and moved to the side of the road. Qin Yuru was still walking in front, not even noticing that Qin Wanru had fallen behind.

After seeing that no one was paying attention, Qin Wanru entered the path. Xiao Xuanzi hid behind a big tree first. When Qin Wanru entered the path, he stepped out from behind the tree and greeted Qin Wanru respectfully. He bowed and said with a smile: "Second Miss, our master asked this servant to come over and have something to say!"

"What are you talking about?" Qin Wanru was slightly startled. Today is the day when King Cheng chooses his concubine. What is Chu Liuchen doing here? But since this person was always elusive, she was only stunned for a moment, and then regained her composure.

"Our master said that His Highness Prince Cheng might choose a few young ladies as backup, and reminded the second lady to be careful. If His Highness Prince Cheng is chosen, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will see that Prince Cheng has not chosen a concubine for so many years. , I agreed even though I couldn’t help it!”

Xiao Xuanzi smiled.

"Would Prince Cheng choose a young princess? How can we get married?" Qin Wanru asked in astonishment. This was really beyond her expectation. With Prince Cheng's current age, no matter how you look at it, he must choose a concubine of the right age. , then you can get married immediately.

"The choice of the princess must be of appropriate age, but if His Highness Prince Cheng wants to choose a few younger ones, that is actually possible. It is not easy to get His Highness Prince Cheng to agree to marry me." Xiao Xuanzi said implicitly.

This means that King Cheng has not only selected the main concubine this time. The candidates for the main concubine should be almost selected, but he can still choose some young ladies from other ladies to be concubines and concubines.

Qin Wanru, who was originally quite surprised by Prince Cheng's behavior in choosing a concubine, suddenly felt that some of the things that he had not figured out before were immediately figured out.

This is a game between the emperor and King Cheng. Although King Cheng lost the initiative, it does not mean that he will follow the emperor's direction calmly.

After selecting the princess, he can also choose concubines such as concubines who are suitable for him. These people will definitely be useful to him.

Since the emperor has the upper hand, appropriate benefits will still be given. Perhaps the emperor has not really determined what Prince Cheng has in mind at this time, but it is necessary to send the necessary princess to the palace. Prince Cheng was aggrieved when he agreed and wanted to do it again. It is reasonable to choose a few people to compete with the princess.

Originally she thought that this matter would have nothing to do with her. With King Cheng's age, there was no way it could be related to her, but now she suddenly felt that she was careless. Compared to others, she was really more likely to have it. .

His father Qin Huaiyong's official position was neither high nor low, and he was a powerful figure leading the army. It would be extremely beneficial to win him over. In addition, Qin Huaiyong's current military power was not great. Even if he was pulled over by King Cheng, the emperor would not be able to do it for a while. I think if Qin Huaiyong takes a step forward in the future, the help will be even greater.

"Is it possible that King Cheng will choose me?" Qin Yuru said bluntly.

Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile: "Our master thinks it is very possible. The second young lady needs to be careful. I have just reported it to the eldest princess Ruian. With the eldest princess protecting her, the second young lady will naturally be much safer. Remember Don't wander around, it's not just our master who is in the house today, but also His Royal Highness the King of Zhou!"

This means that Qin Wanru must be careful not only of King Cheng, but also of King Zhou. This man is not someone to be trifled with. Just because he is the queen's legitimate son, he is already much more noble than the other princes. .

"Prince Cheng is not worried that I am not my father's biological daughter?" Qin Wanru understood the meaning of these words. The only thing she didn't understand was why Prince Cheng didn't exclude herself.

Although Qin Huaiyong is suitable in all aspects, if she is not Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, then this so-called suitability will have no effect at all, and it may also waste the position of a concubine or concubine.

Even if he is a prince, there are not many concubines on the imperial throne.

One principal concubine, two concubines on both sides, and two concubines. There are only a few places for a prince to allow his wives and concubines to attend the royal banquet. The total number can only be five people.

"Second Miss, the royal family has never been afraid of having more concubines. Even if it is not for this reason, it can be for that reason. It is just to raise one more person in the palace!"

Xiao Xuanzi hinted at her.

Qin Wanru was horrified, and a trace of surprise flashed in the corner of her eyes. She was really careless and took it for granted!

Use your own thoughts to turn to King Cheng’s thoughts!

If it is true as Xiao Xuanzi said, it is really possible, or really dangerous, that even if Prince Cheng does not give birth to a concubine, he can still bring a suitable woman into Prince Cheng's palace.

If a person has a bad reputation, and the loss is due to King Cheng, it is enough for him to take responsibility, because if his reputation is bad, how can he dare to ask for his reputation?

"Thank you so much, Master!" Qin Wanru thanked him.

"Second Miss, you're welcome!" Xiao Xuanzi smiled and bowed to Qin Wanru, then left from the side road. He had been to Prince Cheng's Mansion many times and was quite familiar with the road to Prince Cheng's Mansion. Going back that way was inconspicuous and We haven’t passed the rockery where King Cheng and King Zhou lived.

Qin Wanru did not leave immediately. She lagged behind a little and then slowly turned away from the previous road, as if she just took a few extra steps because she was greedy for the scenery.

Then he followed the ladies inside again.

But when she arrived at the largest flower hall, she didn't see Qin Yuru. She couldn't help but frown slightly. If Qin Yuru also walked forward from this road, he would definitely appear here at this time.

Seeing Qin Wanru appear, Aunt Gao, who had been waiting there for a while, was immediately overjoyed. She hurriedly came over and bowed to Qin Wanru, then smiled and said, "Second Miss Qin, are you here? Our princess is waiting for you?"

"Wait for me?" Qin Wanru said in surprise. Before the truth was revealed, didn't he tell his grandmother to keep a distance from him?

"Yes, I am just waiting for the second young lady. I just heard that the second young lady is here too. Our princess is just waiting for the second young lady to come. Our princess has always been very grateful for Master Hao's matter!"

Aunt Gao smiled, her voice neither high nor low, but enough for the people around to hear, which also solved the doubts of the people around her.

It turned out that it was because of Qin Wanru's rescue of Shao Yuanhao. This incident was not actually saved by Qin Wanru. I didn't expect that the eldest princess would remember Qin Wanru so much. Whenever she met Qin Wanru, she would definitely call her over.

Several ladies were secretly jealous. They were actually in Princess Ruian's mansion at that time. Why didn't they find the young Master Hao who was in trouble? Otherwise, he would be the one who wanted Princess Ruian to take a high look at this time. This is no longer Qin Wanru who just came from a small place in the countryside.

But now that everything has passed, there is nothing you can do about being jealous. Everyone can only look at it helplessly, let the way out, and watch Qin Wanru lead towards the eldest princess of Ruian with the attentive smile of Grandma Gao. go.

The eldest princess of Ruian was sitting on the high seat. She saw Qin Wanru from a distance, with a smile on her face and a good mood. Her granddaughter was found again, and she was so considerate to her, which really made her happy. When he saw Qin Wanru coming to salute, he immediately stood up, took her hand, and asked her to sit down on a chair on the side.

"Wan Ru, just stay with me today and stop running around. The scenery in Prince Cheng's Mansion is similar to that of our Princess Mansion, and there's nothing interesting to see!"

Princess Ruian smiled.

Just now I heard that King Cheng was interested in having some young ladies as concubines. The eldest princess Ruian thought of Qin Wanru first. She was afraid that Qin Wanru was young and ignorant, so she asked Aunt Gao to guard the door. When she saw When Qin Wanru came in, he immediately asked her to follow him and didn't dare to let her run around again.

Listening to the eldest princess Ruian talking about the scenery of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Qin Wanru couldn't help but smile. Of course she understood that it was the eldest princess Ruian who was worried about her, and there was a feeling of warmth in her heart. He nodded, but his watery eyes turned around and asked hesitantly: "Eldest Princess, can you see my eldest sister?"
