Hearing Chen Zhirong's straightforward invitation, Zhao Junchen was slightly startled and asked, "What? Miss Chen wants to visit Xuzhou?"
Chen Zhirong's eyes were full of smiles, and she emphasized: "Zhirong wants to play in Xuzhou with Mr. Zhao. [No pop-up novel website]"
Then, Chen Zhirong added: "Zhirong grew up in the capital and has never seen the customs and customs outside the capital. This time I went south with my father. It was a rare opportunity, so I wanted to walk around and see everything. . In fact, Zhirong had wanted to invite Mr. Zhao a few days ago. However, Mr. Zhao had just taken over the various matters of the southern tour at that time, and he must have been very busy. Moreover, Mr. Zhao's protégé Li Lide was promoted to the post of Chief Envoy of Shandong. Zhirong I felt that Mr. Zhao would definitely make many arrangements in Shandong, so I didn't dare to disturb Mr. Zhao. However, now that the southern tour was on track and he had left Shandong, Zhirong guessed that Mr. Zhao might have a lot of leisure time, so she Come and invite Mr. Zhao to visit Xuzhou together, I wonder if Mr. Zhao is willing?"
While speaking, Chen Zhirong looked at Zhao Junchen pitifully and expectantly, looking directly at him with bright eyes that made people unable to bear to refuse.
Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said: "Thank you Miss Chen for your kind invitation, but Your Majesty may ask me to accompany you, and I may not have time tomorrow, so I'm afraid I can't agree to Miss Chen. Please forgive me." "
As if he had expected it, Chen Zhirong did not show a disappointed look, but simply asked: "Then, if Your Majesty does not summon Mr. Zhao to accompany him tomorrow, will Mr. Zhao have free time?"
Speaking of which, similar inquiries. This is the second time Zhao Junchen heard this in this day. Not long ago, Su Changzhen was trying to bring his daughter Su Xiuning into a relationship with Zhao Junchen. I asked the same question.
However, it was precisely because Zhao Junchen had agreed to Su Changzhen not long ago. But he could no longer agree to Chen Zhirong's invitation.
What's more, although there is a certain degree of cooperation between Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong, Zhao Junchen still keeps a distance from "femme fatales" like Chen Zhirong, because Zhao Junchen always spends a lot of money when getting along with Chen Zhirong. At ordinary times, Zhao Junchen didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Zhirong.
So Zhao Junchen refused again. And he said truthfully: "Thank you Miss Chen for your kindness, but I already have an appointment. In fact, just before Miss Chen arrived, I had already agreed to Governor Su's invitation. If there is no chaperone tomorrow, I will Visit Xuzhou with Miss Su Xiuning Su."
A hint of meaning flashed in Chen Zhirong's eyes, and she asked: "It turns out that Mr. Zhao has already made an appointment with Sister Su. Can't he take Zhirong with him?"
Zhao Junchen seemed to have a helpless expression and said, "I was invited by Governor Su this time. And tomorrow's trip will also be dominated by Miss Su Xiuning. If Governor Su and Miss Su don't express their opinions, it will be inconvenient for me to make the decision." "
Chen Zhirong's expression became more and more pitiful, and he sighed: "So that's it. It was Zhirong who made things difficult for Mr. Zhao. In this case, Zhirong will not disturb Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao took a rest earlier, and Zhirong left."
Finished. Chen Zhirong bowed to Zhao Junchen, then turned and left.
Seeing Chen Zhirong's statement like this. Zhao Junchen did not try to persuade him to stay, but just got up and saw him off. After sending Chen Zhirong out of the room, looking at Chen Zhirong's leaving figure, Zhao Junchen seemed to have thought of something and could not help but shook his head slightly.
Today, Zhao Junchen knows Chen Zhirong relatively well and knows that Chen Zhirong has a character that will never give up until the goal is achieved. Therefore, Zhao Junchen also understands very well that although he has rejected Chen Zhirong now, Chen Zhirong has never given up. If he and Su Xiuning travel to Xuzhou City tomorrow, they may "encounter" Chen Zhirong by chance during the trip!
Zhao Junchen had no control over this situation and could only let nature take its course.
In fact, after Chen Zhirong said goodbye to Zhao Junchen, when he turned around, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed across his originally bright and beautiful face.
"Sure enough, although Cui Qianxue was kicked out of her home and lost her competitiveness under my design, Su Xiuning took the opportunity to become my biggest opponent..." Chen Zhirong thought secretly: "Fortunately, I have already Countermeasures..."
While thinking secretly, Chen Zhirong was not only not angry, but also smiled brightly, with a hint of danger in the smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On this night, Emperor Deqing did not convey any instructions to Zhao Junchen, which meant that Zhao Junchen did not need to accompany him the next day. Perhaps Emperor Deqing sympathized with Zhao Junchen's hardships during this period. He wanted Zhao Junchen to rest for a day, or maybe Emperor Deqing had other arrangements and did not need Zhao Junchen to accompany him. In short, Zhao Junchen had a rare free day.
Therefore, according to the agreement, Zhao Junchen sent someone to notify Su Changzhen before going to bed, and made an appointment with Su Xiuning to meet outside the palace the next day.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Junchen arrived outside the palace early, but he did not expect that Su Xiuning was already waiting for Zhao Junchen there.
However, at this time, beside Su Xiuning, there was Chen Zhirong standing aside. The two women stood side by side, just like the roses competing with each other. Chen Zhirong had a happy expression, chatting and laughing with Su Xiuning constantly, while Su Xiuning's expression was a little reluctant.
"Sure enough..." Zhao Junchen secretly thought: "Although Su Xiuning has been changing herself for the sake of her father Su Changzhen during this period, her nature is hard to change after all. I'm afraid she won't be able to defeat Chen Zhirong. I may have to play with the two girls today. Xuzhou City."
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head secretly, feeling that he would rarely have free time today.
Then, Zhao Junchen came to the two women, nodded to Su Xiuning first, and then smiled at Chen Zhirong as if he had not guessed at all: "Oh? Miss Chen is here too? What a coincidence!"
Chen Zhirong smiled as brightly as a flower and said: "Yes, I planned to have some fun in Xuzhou today, but I didn't expect to meet Sister Su, so I chatted here for a while and found out that Sister Su had lived in Xuzhou for a while when she was young. , I am quite familiar with the customs and customs of Xuzhou, and today I will travel to Xuzhou with Mr. Zhao, which makes Zhirong very envious..."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhirong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked Su Xiuning: "By the way, in that case, how about Sister Su taking Zhirong to visit Xuzhou with her today? Otherwise, Zhirong will be alone and really lonely."
During the inquiry, Chen Zhirong's expression was full of begging and expectation.
As the saying goes, "Don't hit anyone with a smiling face." Such a common gentleman's rule cannot restrain an unscrupulous politician with such a thick skin like Zhao Junchen. But for Su Xiuning, such common sayings are what she is accustomed to. The way to treat others - this is one of the reasons why Chen Zhirong asked Su Xiuning.
Therefore, out of habit, although Su Xiuning was unwilling in her heart, after hesitating for a moment, she still nodded and agreed, and said softly: "Since Miss Chen wants to go with us, there is nothing wrong with it."
Chen Zhirong put her hands on her hands and said happily: "That's great."
Saying that, Chen Zhirong turned to look at Zhao Junchen again, and asked with just the right amount of pride: "Master Zhao, you won't find Zhirong troublesome, right?"
Zhao Junchen glanced at Su Xiuning, shook his head secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course not."
While talking, the three of them were already planning to leave.
However, things happened by coincidence. At this moment, another group of people suddenly left the palace.
The leader of this group of people was actually Emperor Deqing in casual clothes!
Obviously, after arriving in Xuzhou, Emperor Deqing planned to travel incognito again, but this time he did not summon Zhao Junchen to accompany him.
Zhao Junchen was not surprised by this. Although he was Emperor Deqing's favorite, it did not mean that Zhao Junchen needed to accompany him every day. Otherwise, even if Zhao Junchen was not annoyed, Emperor Deqing would be bored.
What really surprised Zhao Junchen was that the person accompanying Emperor Deqing at this time was actually Li Jiamin, the daughter of Li Xin, the former prefect of Huai'an, who had filed a petition in Linqing Prefecture a few days ago!
At this time, Li Jiamin was following Emperor Deqing step by step, with a slightly sad look on her face, a quiet temperament, and not many words. She only answered a few words after Emperor Deqing spoke, but obviously she The answer was quite flattering, so Emperor Deqing was in high spirits and looked very happy at this time.
At the same time that Zhao Junchen discovered Emperor Deqing and Li Jiamin, Emperor Deqing also discovered Zhao Junchen, Su Xiuning, and Chen Zhirong.
So, both sides were stunned!
