The cute apprentice of the national teacher is charming and wild

Chapter 178 Chapter 177: Two kings contend for beauty

Jing Chaoci took out a brocade box from his cuff, opened it, and inside was a pair of jadeite bracelets, which were of fine quality and top grade.

He said with a smile: "This pair of jade bracelets is a gift from the king to the third lady. It's a small gift, and I hope the third lady will accept it with a smile."

The maid Luxiu brought the brocade box containing the jade bracelet in front of Gu Zhijin. Gu Zhijin didn't glance at it, didn't reach out to pick it up, and got up directly, with a cold face: "Forgive the brocade, I don't want to marry His Royal Highness Rui Wang."

"Brocade has always disliked jadeite. This pair of jade bracelets is not suitable for brocade. Please keep it for a girl who is suitable for it."

After speaking, she wanted to leave directly.

"The third one!"

"Three sisters!"

Gu Zhi'an and Gu Zhirou stood up together, yelling and stopping, both of them had embarrassing and unhappy expressions.

Gu Zhirou held back her anger and preached, "Third sister is not a four-year-old child like Jiu Mei, so how can she be so self-willed like a child."

With a dark face, Gu Zhian reprimanded: "Don't hurry up and apologize to His Royal Highness King Rui!"

Gu Zhijin was unmoved.

Gu Zhian couldn't hold back his anger anymore, just when he was about to lose his temper, the door of the study was pushed open——

"What's wrong with Third Miss? Why did you ask her to apologize?"

With a lazy and smiling voice, Jing Zhanli pushed the door open, behind him was Butler Xu with a sad old face, he bent his waist, his face was at a loss: "Master, old slave"

"Okay, I see, you go down first," Gu Zhi'an interrupted him in a deep voice, knowing that Butler Xu wanted to talk about Jing Zhanli breaking into the study, so he probably blamed himself for not stopping him.

Jing Zhanli's temperament has always been arbitrary, just now Butler Xu wanted to stop him and report to his master first, but he didn't expect him to open the door and come in.

Jing Zhanli has a high status, so Gu Zhian dare not blame him, but his sudden visit to the mansion really caught Gu Zhian by surprise, and he was not sure why Jing Zhanli was here for a moment.

Jing Chaoci and Gu Zhirou's faces were downcast, Gu Zhian was not sure why Jing Zhanli was here, but they both knew it well.

"The old minister has met His Royal Highness Xiao Wang." Gu Zhian squeezed out a smile, bent down and cupped his hands: "The old minister will not be notified in advance when His Highness Xiao Wang comes to the house, so the old minister can go out to greet him."

Jing Zhanli said with a leisurely smile: "My lord is so busy, and I still have to receive the second brother and Concubine Rou, how can this king have the nerve to make my lord tired."

Gu Zhian gave a dry laugh: "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, you are being polite." There was faint sweat on his forehead, and his lips murmured: "I don't know. What is the important matter of His Highness Xiao Wang coming here?"

"Is it important?" Jing Zhanli's mouth curled into a half-smile, and his winking eyes fell on Gu Zhijin, "This king, like the second emperor brother, is here to find the third lady. I wonder if this is an important matter?"

Gu Zhian's old eyes widened, and the fine sweat on his forehead gathered into sweat beads, almost dripping down his old face, his eyes were full of fear, "Xiao, what is His Royal Highness Xiao looking for with the three daughters?"

These words, can be regarded as knowingly asking, Gu Zhian seemed to have guessed Jing Zhanli's intention in his heart.

Jing Zhanli glanced at Jing Chaoci, who had a gloomy face, he smiled, and patted Gu Zhian's shoulder, "What is the second emperor's brother looking for the third lady, and what is the king looking for the third lady."

Since the old fox knows what to ask, he will play charades with him.

Gu Zhian's shoulders softened, and he almost fell to the ground.

Jing Zhanli supported him, "Why are you so excited?"

"Old, old minister didn't stand firm for a while."

"Old Five!" Jing Chaoci stood up and glared angrily, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"What's the matter with the second emperor's anger?" Jing Zhanli chuckled, and said slowly: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, I only want the second emperor's brother to marry the third lady, can't the emperor's brother do?"

"Is His Highness Xiao Wang determined to fight His Highness Rui?" Gu Zhirou said in a calm tone.

Jing Zhanli sneered: "Listening to what Concubine Rou said, when did this king cooperate with the second emperor brother?"

Ever since Jun Elegy was assassinated by Jing Chaoci a few years ago, he and Jing Chaoci have been at odds.

Even if he doesn't provoke Jing Chaoci first, he will not let him go when Jing Chaoci holds power in the future.

Jing Zhanli knew very well that the Huainan Palace behind him had always been in the way of Jing Chaoci's eyes, and one day he would get rid of the Huainan Palace, and then get rid of him.

It is better to be proactive than passive.

Gu Zhirou sneered: "If His Royal Highness Xiao Wang insists on going his own way, he will definitely show His Highness what it means to be 'overestimated.'"

"No, no, no," Jing Zhanli shook his index finger, and replied, "I will show Concubine Rou some time in the future what it means to be 'unashamed to speak out.'"

"."

Gu Zhirou was so angry that she held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, her face extremely embarrassed.

Playing lip service, I didn't expect Jing Zhanli to be more slippery.

After all, he and Jun Elegy are cousins, and their eloquence is in the same line.

Jing Chaoci snorted coldly: "Just now, this king has already asked the third lady to marry him, so the fifth emperor should stop thinking about it."

Jing Zhanli ignored his "nonsense," but came to Gu Zhijin slowly, with a warm smile: "Second Brother said that he had already asked Miss San for a kiss, but Miss San agreed?"

Gu Zhirou quietly interjected: "Third sister, there are some things that I have to think about before I say them."

Gu Zhijin turned a deaf ear to her words, and said in a steady tone: "Brocade has self-knowledge that it is not worthy of His Royal Highness Rui, and the position of Princess Rui, knowing that she is not worthy, naturally dare not think about it."

Gu Qingrou was annoyed, this third younger sister is really not so easy to handle!
Jing Zhanli said with a smile: "Listen, Second Brother, even if you just asked for a marriage proposal, but the third lady does not accept your proposal, it is hard to do." Still want to marry and sell by force?"

These words are a metaphor for Gu Zhian selling his daughters for glory, and Jing Chaoci forcibly robbing women.

The fig leaf on his face was torn away, Gu Zhian couldn't hold back his face anymore, his old face was hot.

Jing Chaoci clenched his fists, with shadows hanging from the corners of his eyes, he did not expect Jing Zhanli to be so difficult to deal with.

Jing Zhanli ignored the ugly faces of the two, and turned his eyes to see a pair of jadeite bracelets that were still held by Luxiu. Throwing up and down twice, the movement is casual and lazy.

Lu Xiu was frightened, afraid that the valuable jade bracelet would be "shattered into pieces" in his hands.

Gu Zhirou was furious when she saw it, and the anger on her face couldn't hold back, "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, this jade bracelet is a gift from His Royal Highness King Rui to the third younger sister, not a plaything for you to play with."

"Oh, so that's the case," Jing Zhanli responded with a casual tone, and brought the jade bracelet in front of Gu Zhijin, "Miss San likes this pair of jade bracelets?"

Gu Zhijin responded lightly: "Just now I told His Royal Highness King Rui that Jin Jin doesn't like jade, so His Highness will keep this jade bracelet and give it to other girls."

"Heh," with a chuckle, Jing Zhanli threw the jade bracelet back into the brocade box, took out a brocade box from his arms, and smiled coquettishly, "In this case, Miss San, why don't you look at this king?" These are coral bracelets."
