Zhu Zhiye looked helpless and had no choice but to chase after Hua Rujin and explain earnestly: "Silly girl, don't listen to her nonsense. You also know that the Lu family has a close relationship with my mother and concubine. So many things happened suddenly. I
I know that you feel uncomfortable, and actually I feel uncomfortable too, so I thought of taking you out to relax together."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Hua Rujin didn't know how to deal with Prince Ning after being made a fuss by these two people.
If you think about it carefully, from the beginning, except for calling him silly girl, he was extremely passionate about himself and never put on the airs of a prince.
This also gave her a different understanding of the royal relatives for the first time. They were easy-going and approachable, and there was no uncomfortable feeling at all.
It's just that the attitude toward herself lately has made her feel a little more intense compared to others, especially today, which made her feel a little wary.
"You don't need to be so polite in front of me."
Zhu Zhiye smiled and said: "I heard that Ye Chengguan has gone to the provincial capital. He asked my father to force you away. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. You don't need to be afraid. It just so happens that I have been in Jiangling City for some time.
In time, I will go with you to the provincial capital, and if he dares to bully you, I will be able to support you."
"Your Highness, are you going to the provincial capital too?"
Hua Rujin looked shocked and embarrassed.
Moreover, Ye Chengguan had no intention of bullying him.
Besides, she spends five thousand taels of silver a year, so she really doesn't refuse such bullying.
"Yes, with so many things happening in Jiangling City, how can I trust you to go to the provincial capital alone?"
Zhu Zhiye explained seriously: "Besides, so many people from the Lu family cannot die in vain. There is no news about Qian and your cousin so far. Maybe we can think of more ways to find these two people when we get to the provincial capital."
"Your Highness, don't worry too much about this matter. People from the Inspectorate and the Inspection Department will try to find those two people."
Now, Hua Rujin already knew that Hua Minze must be in the hands of Luo Chuhuai, who wanted to bring down Prince Yun for Prince Fu, so he would try to find the Qian family again.
Therefore, as long as you keep an eye on Luo Chuhuai, you won't have to worry about not finding the Qian family.
"How can you trust those people?"
Zhu Zhiye actually didn't care that much about this matter. He just wanted to find a high-sounding reason to follow her. He said solemnly: "Anyway, I don't trust you to go to the provincial capital with your daughter's family. When I get to the provincial capital, I will
I just want to find a way to get you back from Ye Chengguan, so that you don’t have to worry in front of him."
"No, no, no, your highness, I am very satisfied with this job now, so don't bother, your highness."
Hua Rujin secretly complained in her heart. She had longed to have such a respectable job and to continue working with Ye Chengguan. Wasn't he deliberately trying to harm her?
"Are you satisfied with just one female governor?"
Zhu Zhiye felt that her vision was too short-sighted: "If you want to be a female official, I just need to tell my mother and concubine, and she will definitely arrange a more dignified job for you in the palace. What more?"
You can choose the female officials from the Palace Bureau and Shangyi Bureau."
He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "How about the Shang Palace of the Shang Palace Bureau? That is the most noble position for a female official in the palace, and many women are out of reach in their lifetime."
"Your Highness really praises the women of the people. How dare I have such extravagant thoughts as I am not very talented and knowledgeable."
Hua Rujin declined politely.
The fifth rank of the Shanggong Bureau was the highest position that a female official could reach, but she knew very well that after entering the palace, any decent job would be nothing more than serving people, and she really had no interest in it.
Although the female governor of the Inspection Commission was only a low-level official, she was able to continue her favorite career. She liked it from the bottom of her heart.
"You are so smart, there is nothing you can't do."
Zhu Zhiye felt that she was deliberately evading, and said displeasedly: "Silly girl, tell me honestly, are you willing to stay with Ye Chengkui?"
"Well, this is what I eat. Being a female governor is just the right time to continue my old career."
Regarding his temptation, Hua Rujin would not reveal her true feelings, lest he have any evil thoughts to embarrass Ye Chengwei.
"Well, I will accompany you."
Zhu Zhiye no longer forced it.
Wu Muning galloped around the racecourse and returned to the starting point. Seeing that the two of them had not yet mounted their horses, Wu Muning reined in the horses impatiently and urged in this direction: "Hey, Your Highness, Mr. Hua, hurry up and mount your horses."
Seeing this, Hua Rujin quickly took the horse and jumped up.
"Shopkeeper Hua, can you do it?"
Wu Muning looked at her with some contempt: "It is said that women are not as good as men, especially in equestrian skills. If you accidentally fall, you may become paralyzed. My second uncle has been unable to get out of bed since he fell off a horse last time.
, if the flower shopkeeper is afraid, don’t force it.”
"Then you might as well give it a try."
Hua Rujin gave a loud shout and swung the whip on the horse's back, causing the horse to start galloping.
Equestrian is a piece of cake for her, and she can control any horse, no matter how bad it is.
My time at the equestrian club in my previous life was not in vain.
Wu Muning and Zhu Zhiye watched her riding a horse in the racecourse with ease, without any signs of unfamiliarity as if she were a newbie.
Zhu Zhiye couldn't help laughing and said: "Wu Suantou, you underestimated her again."
Then, he also whipped his horse and chased after him.
Wu Muning curled her lips angrily, thinking that she could use this small embarrassment to embarrass this girl, but she never thought that she would be disappointed again.
"What a strong woman."
Wu Muning had rarely seen a woman like her in Beijing who was not pretentious and showed heroic spirit in every aspect, and she liked her from the bottom of her heart.
After being tired for half a day at the racecourse, the three of them went to the tent prepared by the owner of the racecourse in advance. After bathing and changing clothes, a boy came in carrying a roasted whole lamb.
Smelling the fragrant smell, Hua Rujin is a little greedy.
"The owner of this horse farm came from the North, and his father-in-law is an old colleague of the state capital. I have long heard him mention that the roasted whole lamb here is very delicious. I am afraid that the entire Daye Dynasty will not be able to find it.
There is no second restaurant that can compete with it. Silly girl, you have been eating lightly at the Lu family these days, so you need to eat more today."
Zhu Zhiye enthusiastically shared the mutton with Hua Rujin while introducing it.
Thinking of the matter of handing over the robe earlier, he did not forget to give Wu Mu Ning some mutton: "Wu Suan Tou, you should also eat more."
"Your Highness spends money to treat guests, I won't be polite."
Wu Muning picked up the leg of lamb and started to gnaw it. While eating, she kept complaining to Hua Rujin: "Today, I am only blessed with the favor of Shopkeeper Hua. You don't know, His Highness usually
He is the most stingy here. I never spend money when I go out. Only after I called Jiangling City did I know that His Highness is also a generous person who spends a lot of money."
Hearing the bitterness in her words, Hua Rujin couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only agree and joke: "Your Highness does not treat Miss Wu as an outsider."
Being exposed by her, Zhu Zhiye felt depressed for a while, and replied angrily: "You silly girl understands me. My father made your father the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is the richest department in the imperial court.
What happened to you brothers and sisters with a little money, you stingy scoundrels."
"Huh, I'm just stingy."
Wu Muning rolled her eyes at him and began to defend Hua Rujin: "The flower shopkeeper has a name, and His Highness always calls people silly girls. Those who don't know really think there is something wrong with her brain."
Zhu Zhiye did not back down: "You can't buy it for money. I like it. If you're not happy, you can bite me."
Watching the two bickering under her nose, it sounded like they were trying to protect herself, but Hua Rujin always felt that she was the brightest lightbulb.
