If not abolished

After Zhu Di returned, he thought about it and decided to ask someone to bring Hu Rong's previous work records and read them carefully.

You don't know until you see it. It turns out that you have missed a talent. Although Hu Rong does a secret job like the Jinyiwei, he is a kind-hearted person and handles things in a meticulous and elegant manner. His colleagues all say that he has the demeanor of an elder. He is the most suitable person at the moment. The more he looks at him, the more satisfied he is.

Zhu Di immediately sent someone to transfer Hu Rong back to the capital from Jining.

Inside the Imperial City Temple.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji arrived at the Bamboo Forest Pavilion, Hu Shanxiang saw him coming and immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

"Third Miss, why do you avoid me every time you see me?"

"It's not good to spread the news that a man and a woman are alone."

"Well, since we've met so many times, shouldn't we go and ask the girl to marry us?"

"You... I am so young, why are you proposing marriage? What are you talking about? You are tarnishing my reputation for no reason." Hu Shanxiang was so anxious that she was incoherent.

"What should I do? I'm already in love with the girl and I can't wait to marry her right now. If Miss San feels that she is still young, then we can make an engagement first and wait a few years..."

"What? We haven't even said a few words, how come you're so in love with each other?" Hu Shanxiang was stunned.

"Love at first sight, infatuation at second sight." Zhu Zhanji said affectionately.

"It's so simple. I don't know how many girls I have said this to."

"I only told you, not anyone else." Zhu Zhanji was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.

"Who are you trying to fool?" After saying that, Hu Shanxiang didn't want to argue with him anymore and ran away quickly when he wasn't paying attention.

"Hey, why are you running? I haven't finished speaking yet..." Zhu Zhanji was completely confused.

"Did I say something wrong again? Isn't that what the opera script says?"

"Your Highness, maybe the Third Miss feels that she is being treated rudely. How can she secretly get married to a man? Besides, in the operas and storybooks, how many of those who secretly get married have a happy ending?" Wu Cheng reminded her.

"What should we do now?"

"Your Highness finally came out today, what are you doing here?"

"I originally came here to make up for her last birthday gift, but now... she will definitely not accept it again."

"Your Highness, why don't you let the Third Lady see your sincerity."

Zhu Zhanji looked at him: "What do you have in mind?"

"Girl, why are you back so early?"

"I felt a little dizzy, so I came back first."

"It's not heatstroke. Although it's the beginning of autumn, as the old saying goes, the heat is still very strong in autumn. I'm afraid it's the scorching heat. Girl, lie down quickly." Lingzhi said as she was about to fan her.

"Okay, I'll just lie down for a while."

"Then take a good rest, girl. If you feel uncomfortable, I will call a doctor."

"You need to call a doctor there, it's all a big fuss."

"Then I'll go and make some food for the girl to cool down."

"Okay." Hu Shanxiang's eyes lit up when she heard about food.

After Lingzhi left, Hu Shanxiang's expression relaxed.

Thinking about what happened just now, although she is a ten-year-old child now, she is a modern person in her twenties inside. It is also the first time that someone confessed his love to her, and it was by an ancient person. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, Hu Shanxiang thought about what the man said just now, and tossed and turned, grabbing the quilt.

But after calming down and thinking about it, it is not impossible to agree to it. Firstly, that person is a colleague of my second brother, and his family background should be comparable to mine. Secondly, if she was engaged before she was fifteen, then, even if they chose a crown princess a few years later, it would be impossible to choose a woman like her who is already engaged and may even be a married woman by then.

I think she can't go back here, so it should be a good idea to choose a better one with a similar family background so that she won't be afraid of being bullied.

"Knock knock knock" there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" It's definitely not Lingzhi, who could it be? Someone from home delivering something? Possibly.

The "knock knock knock" sound rang out again.

Hu Shanxiang got up to open the door and asked, "Why aren't you talking?" But she didn't expect that when she opened the door, she saw...

Zhu Zhanji stood in the yard.

"No, sir, what are you doing now?" Hu Shanxiang couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw him.

"You confiscated the gift I gave you last time. I heard from your brother that I didn't know when your birthday was before, so I wanted to give you a birthday gift." Zhu Zhanji's voice became lower and lower under Hu Shanxiang's gaze.

"I really don't have any friendship with you, so there is no reason for me to accept your things. Please go back." After saying this, Hu Shanxiang closed the door.

"If you don't accept it, I will wait here until you come out." Zhu Zhanji shouted inside.

"Whatever. I'm tired." Hu Shanxiang said in a low voice.

When Lingzhi came back, she was shocked to see Zhu Zhanji and Wu Cheng standing outside the yard.

She looked back twice as she walked, and Wu Cheng smiled at her. She was even more confused and walked quickly towards the room.

"Girl, outside..." Lingzhi asked as soon as she came in.

"They are still outside. Are they really going to wait until I go out?"

"Then what should we do? What should we do if they are left outside the door? If others see us, they will think we owe someone a debt and are blocked at the door." The more Lingzhi thought about it, the more it seemed like the case, and she couldn't help laughing.

"You can still laugh. Do you know what he said today? One moment he said he fell in love with me at first sight, the next moment he said he wanted to give me a birthday present. Not a single word he said was true. If he and my second brother weren't friends, I... I wouldn't know what to say." Hu Shanxiang thought of the things he had done and became more and more angry.

"What? He actually said such a thing. But he does have good taste in choosing a girl." Lingzhi looked her girl up and down.

"I am so young. You believe me."

"What do you mean by young teeth?" Lingzhi didn't understand what he meant.

"nothing."

"So what should we do now? It seems that the young master is very persistent this time. Do we really want him to stand there forever?"

"He is just a scoundrel. How can he force people like this?" Hu Shanxiang didn't know what to do.

"I didn't expect the girl to worry about peach blossom debts now. In a few years... Alas." Lingzhi sighed.

"What's the point of making sarcastic remarks now?"

"How about the girl just go out and meet him, and get rid of him at least, what do you think?" Lingzhi could only come up with this unsatisfactory solution.

"Humph, if I go out, it means I'm giving in. Why? If he wants to stand, then let him stand. I can't stand all day and not go home for dinner."

"Okay, let's not think about it anymore. By the way, did you get something delicious?"

The sun was setting in the west, but Zhu Zhanji was still standing there.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back. If you don't leave now, you will miss the key to the palace gate." Wu Cheng reminded.

"If we leave, won't all our efforts be wasted?" Zhu Zhanji still stood still.

"My dear prince, if the palace knew about this, and if His Majesty knew about it, how would you explain it? Your Highness's previous plan would be ruined. There is no rush for this." Wu Cheng almost knelt down in front of him.

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a long time, and finally took action. He walked forward and knocked on the door again, then put the things outside the door and left, looking back every few steps.

Lingzhi heard a knock on the door and was about to open it, but was stopped by Hu Shanxiang, who shook her head at her.

After a long while, Lingzhi went to open the door, "Girl, they are gone. Hey, what is this?" Lingzhi picked up the things outside the door.

"Girl, don't you want to open it and take a look?"

"What's so good about it? Return it to him next time we meet." Hu Shanxiang put the things away.

"Girl, are you still thinking about meeting next time?"

"I……"

"Why is the girl blushing?"

"Speaking of which, the second young lady is already married. In two years, the master and his wife will be looking for a husband for the young lady. This young man can be one of the candidates."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Girl, have you ever thought about this? Wouldn't it be better if you get along early and get to know each other better than becoming husband and wife without ever meeting each other?"

"You also think that freedom of love is better than being arranged by parents or matchmakers."

"What kind of love is this? Lingzhi just thinks that it's better to find someone who likes you than to find someone who doesn't like you or who you've never even met."

"Find someone who likes me?" Hu Shanxiang murmured to herself.

At this time, at Hu's house.

Hu Shanxiang and Hu An were overjoyed when they learned from the palace that their father would be transferred back to the capital.

"I didn't expect that my father would be transferred back to the capital." Hu Shanwei was so excited that he couldn't sit down. He paced in the hall since he returned home.

"Big sister, please sit down quickly. You're spinning around so fast that I'm dizzy." Hu Xuan watched as his big sister completely lost her usual composure.

"Look how happy I am. My heart is still pounding now." Hu Shanwei finally sat down and talked.

Hu An looked at everyone sitting down, and then spoke: "Although His Majesty has issued an order, we still have to wait for my father to come. We should keep a low profile. I wonder how many people are jealous of this?"

"My brother is right. We should behave ourselves during this period and never let others find fault with us." Hu Shanwei finally reacted after being reminded by Hu An.

"Also, third sister must come home as soon as possible. When father and others come back, third sister must seriously learn needlework and manage the household at home to prepare for her future marriage." Hu An proposed again.

"Yes, I'll send someone to bring my third sister back right away."

The next morning, people from the Hu family came to pick up Hu Shanxiang. She heard in the carriage that her father was going back to the capital to take up his post, and she was still not fully prepared.

"Lingzhi, you said that father and mother are coming to the capital, is that true?" After Hu Shanxiang realized what was happening, she stood up, forgetting that she was still in the carriage, and bumped directly into the roof: "Hiss."

"Miss, calm down." Lingzhi quickly asked her to sit down. "Miss, if Madam comes and sees you being so impetuous, she will scold you."

"Isn't this the one I didn't notice?"

Eastern Palace - Qingyun Hall

"Your Highness, the people we sent to Zouping last time have returned."

"Why don't you let him in to answer the question?" Zhu Zhanji quickly put down the book in his hand.

"As ordered."
