…
During yesterday's palace banquet, Zhao Junchen and the three women agreed to meet at Youfeng Pavilion at the Youshi moment.
However, on the next day, Zhao Junchen left the Hubu Yamen early, half an hour early, and arrived at Youfeng Pavilion at three o'clock in the morning.
Then, as expected, when Zhao Junchen came to Youfeng Pavilion, in the private room, he saw Chen Zhirong, who had also arrived here in advance.
At yesterday's palace banquet, although Chen Zhirong's beauty dominated the audience, it was a formal occasion after all, so Chen Zhirong's makeup, dress, and clothes did not dare to be too ostentatious after all.
But when she met Zhao Junchen privately today, Chen Zhirong no longer paid any attention to it. She was seen wearing a light blue dress without a stand-up collar, which fully showed off her slender and fair neck; her slightly tightened waist was even more Her figure is voluptuous, plump and slender, just right; the two bright reds at the corners of her eyes make her bright eyes even more beautiful; the rouge is lightly applied, as if she is always shy and timid; the two red lips are also Extraordinarily alluring and thought-provoking.
Speaking of which, there is nothing excessive about Chen Zhirong's dress and clothing, but it brings her charm to the extreme, with subtle hints that make people want to stop. Although Zhao Junchen prided himself on not being seduced by women, and had long known that Chen Zhirong was stunningly beautiful, after seeing Chen Zhirong again, a trace of intoxication still flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.
However, Zhao Junchen's self-control is much higher than that of ordinary people after all, so the look of intoxication only passed away for a moment, and then he looked as normal and said with a smile: "I thought I came early enough. I didn’t expect Miss Chen to come earlier, I’m afraid I kept Miss Chen waiting for a long time, I hope you’ll forgive me.”
There was a flash of intoxication in Zhao Junchen's eyes. It did not escape Chen Zhirong's eyes, but Chen Zhirong did not show any pride. Instead, he saw Zhao Junchen quickly regaining his clarity under his beauty, and his expression showed unabashed admiration.
But then, Chen Zhirong moved lightly, carrying a gentle fragrance. Nanni walked half a step in front of Zhao Junchen. This distance was really too close for two men and women who had known each other for a short time. But Chen Zhirong looked as usual, just exhaled like orchid, smiled softly and said: "Since Mr. Zhao came to Youfeng Pavilion at this time to keep the appointment, why bother pretending to be confused? The time that Mr. Zhao and I made an appointment to meet. Isn't it the third quarter of Shenshi? And Why are you here early? However, I have indeed been waiting here for Mr. Zhao for a long time." "Oh? The time for my appointment with Miss Chen is at 3:30 a.m.?" Zhao Junchen raised his brows, as if he didn't understand.
Chen Zhirong smiled and said: "Yesterday at the palace banquet, I proposed to Mr. Zhao that we meet at the third quarter of Shenshi. At that time, Mr. Zhao, you did not refuse. You just said, 'I will meet the three girls at the third quarter of Shenshi.' I mean, isn’t it Master Zhao who met me first at Shenshi 3:00, and then met with the other two sisters at Youshi 1:00?”
Speaking of which. Chen Zhirong's bright eyes looked at Zhao Junchen, and he said meaningfully: "After all. Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid you have many questions to ask me now, and I also have many things I want to explain to you, and these I’m afraid it’s better not to let the other two sisters hear about the topic, so you and I need to meet in advance, Mr. Zhao, do you think this is true?”
After hearing what Chen Zhirong said, Zhao Junchen stopped pretending to be stupid and just smiled and said: "Miss Chen's intelligence is amazing."
"In Mr. Zhao's eyes, my little cleverness is probably just a little cleverness, right?" Chen Zhirong also chuckled.
…………
While talking, the two of them came to the table and sat down.
As at the palace banquet yesterday, Chen Zhirong still sat next to Zhao Junchen without shyness, and the distance between their shoulders was much closer than yesterday. Zhao Junchen could smell Chen Zhirong in his breath. The subtle body fragrance.
Chen Zhirong also understood that Zhao Junchen was strong-willed and was by no means the kind of dim-witted person who gets dizzy when seeing women, and Chen Zhirong also admired this very much in Zhao Junchen. However, at the same time, out of her confidence in her own charm and beauty, Chen Zhirong also likes to seduce and hint Zhao Junchen from time to time, and treats this as a game and competition. For her, even if she can only Making Zhao Junchen intoxicated for just a moment was enough to satisfy her.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen didn't understand Chen Zhirong's petty thoughts, but he looked as usual regarding Chen Zhirong's deliberate temptation. He just smiled and said: "Miss Chen's words not only wronged me, but also belittled herself. Chen The girl is as smart and shrewd as any man, how can I dare to look down upon her?"
At this point, seeing Chen Zhirong smiling and saying nothing, Zhao Junchen said no more, but changed the topic and got to the point, asking: "Just now, Miss Chen, you said that you have many things you want to explain to me, and you don't want to let other people know." People know it, but they don’t know what it is?”
Chen Zhirong was well prepared and replied: "What I want to explain to you, Mr. Zhao, is also what Mr. Zhao wants to ask me now."
Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and did not respond, just waiting for Chen Zhirong to continue.
Seeing that although Zhao Junchen treated him politely and humbly, he did not give up the opportunity at all. Chen Zhirong's eyes not only showed no dissatisfaction, but a glimmer of appreciation and satisfaction once again flashed in his eyes. He stopped quarreling with Zhao Junchen and just said: " Mr. Zhao also knows very well that the palace banquet yesterday was a blind date arranged by His Majesty for Mr. Zhao. Sister Su and Sister Cui, as well as me, are the wives carefully selected by His Majesty for Mr. Zhao. However, I wonder who Mr. Zhao prefers most after yesterday’s meeting?”
Such a question was extremely bold for a woman of this era, but now that Chen Zhirong said it, it felt natural.
After Zhao Junchen was stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Miss Chen, you, Miss Cui, and Miss Su are all talented and beautiful, one in a million, but I, Zhao Junchen, am just a commoner, I just feel that I am not worthy, and Where to choose? If I have to say, the three girls are all excellent, I am flattered, but it is difficult to choose."
Chen Zhirong smiled and said slowly: "I'm afraid, Mr. Zhao, your true thoughts are that you look down on me, Sister Su, and Sister Cui, right?"
Having said this, without waiting for Zhao Junchen to refute, Chen Zhirong had already raised three of her fair, jade-like onion fingers, then bent one of them and said: "Among the three of us, Sister Cui seems to have had a relationship with Mr. Zhao for a long time. Due to fate, it can be seen that Mr. Zhao also likes Sister Cui the most. His words and demeanor are quite protective. However, if Mr. Zhao marries Sister Cui, then the old Cui Mian in the front cabinet will never bring Mr. Zhao. Any help, as stubborn as him, in order to save his reputation and prove his position, he will only fight against Mr. Zhao in the court, so Mr. Zhao will never marry Sister Cui..."
While speaking, Chen Zhirong saw that Zhao Junchen could not comment, so he bent his second finger and continued: "As for Su Xiuning, I really feel sorry for her. Her piano skills are probably the best today. It's a pity that her father Su Chang Zhen is a well-known corrupt official, and there are too many hidden dangers in marrying him, and Mr. Zhao is currently trying every means to improve his reputation, so for Mr. Zhao, Su Xiuning is not a suitable wife..."
Then, Chen Zhirong bent his last finger, a trace of self-mockery flashed across his expression, and said: "As for me, the little girl, in the eyes of Mr. Zhao, I am probably not a good match. With a poor family background and a poor reputation, I cannot do anything for you." Mr. Zhao's increase in power cannot help Mr. Zhao improve his reputation. There is also the shadow of the Seventh Prince behind him, which makes Mr. Zhao even more worried. In addition, Mr. Zhao sees that I am too sophisticated and shrewd and unwilling to be ordinary. He is worried that there will be a fire in the backyard in the future, so I don’t even think about it… but I don’t know if what I said is right?”…
Seeing Chen Zhirong's confession, Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, no longer covering up, and just said: "Miss Chen can see through my mind so easily, so smart, if she is just a little smart, how many people in this world can she see?" Who can be called a great wise man? Just now I said that Miss Chen is not inferior to men, but now it seems that this evaluation still underestimates the girl."
Chen Zhirong smiled softly, extremely charming, but then changed the topic and said: "Then, if I can dispel all the concerns in your mind, Mr. Zhao, but I wonder if Mr. Zhao, would you reconsider and marry me? "
Seeing Chen Zhirong becoming more straightforward, Zhao Junchen realized that he had lost some initiative. After carefully looking at Chen Zhirong for a few more times, the smile faded from his expression and he slowly said: "Since Miss Chen is so candid, then I I will no longer be hypocritical... To be honest, I have a lot of worries now, not only about you, Miss Chen, but also about other people, but I don’t know how much you can dispel for me, Miss Chen?"
Chen Zhirong smiled softly again, opened her jade teeth slightly, and said: "I just said that I want to dispel all worries for Mr. Zhao, not only Mr. Zhao's worries about me, but also Mr. Zhao's worries about you. Su Changjin, Cui Mian, and even His Majesty’s concerns.”
After a pause, Chen Zhirong added: "By the way, there are also your concerns about Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, Mr. Zhao."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen raised his brows and said slowly: "Listening to what you said, why do I have more worries? But I don't know what you are going to do to dispel all my worries?... But , compared with these concerns of mine, now I am more curious. I am afraid that no man in the world can refuse a woman like you, Miss Chen. As long as Miss Chen is determined, even if she wants to marry a prince , I’m afraid it’s not difficult, but why do you have to be attached to me?”
