Drunk House Chapter 764

Chapter 764 Confession (Second update)

Qin Ruo knew that without Qin Luan, Su Rong would not have thought of looking for him. He might still be in the bitter cold place now.

He brought Qin Luan to the courtyard where she was placed, and said ashamedly: "This is the courtyard I had people clean up for you to live in. It is a bit crude. Now I am busy in the court all day long, so I can't keep an eye on the repairs and decorations myself. The person who bought it newly has not adjusted it, and it is not easy to use. Now that you are here, how about the layout and repairs that need to be made, how about you do it yourself?"

Qin Luan nodded, "Brother is just busy. You can leave the affairs of the house to me for the time being."

Qin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the account key and ledger to Qin Luan, "Thank you sister."

Qin Luan pursed his lips and smiled, "It's time for my brother to marry a sister-in-law."

Qin Ruo coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it after we get my mother."

Qin Luan nodded.

After entering the house, Qin Ruo asked Qin Luan to rest. Qin Luan shook his head, "I'm not tired. Brother, it's hard for me to take a rest for a day. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk for a while! Otherwise, you will be busy with court affairs tomorrow. I'm afraid I don't even have the time to speak.”

Qin Ruo sighed, "Yes, there are too many affairs in the court, and everything was half ruined after the rebellion and the war. After the princess returned to the court, almost everything was started from scratch. She has been busy for three or four months now, and she has finally seen some results. But it's not enough. I'm not the busiest one. The concubine fell ill from exhaustion a few days ago. She stayed in hospital for four or five days, but before she recovered, she went to court again."

Qin Luan was surprised, "Is the situation in Southern Chu so urgent?"

"Yes, the affairs of the court are heavy. Countless things are piled up, and the princess needs to make decisions and come up with policies. Everything is difficult." Qin Ruodao: "In the first two months, the entire court was busy, but now it is relatively easy. It's better, after all, now that you're here, I can still take one day off. If it were two months ago, I wouldn't have been able to leave, so I could only ask someone from the mansion to pick you up at the city gate."

Qin Luan sighed, "It's really hard work."

Qin Ruoxiao said, "Although the hard work is hard, every day is also very fulfilling. I have to thank my sister for giving me the opportunity to be chosen by the princess. Otherwise, I feel that this life will be hopeless."

"No, the Qin family will always be rehabilitated. His Highness the Crown Prince said that if there is no concubine asking you, you only need to wait patiently for a few years." Qin Luan shook his head.

Qin Ruo smiled bitterly, "After working as a coolie on such a land for several years, I'm afraid my fighting spirit has been wiped out and I no longer have any ambition."

Qin Luan was silent, but still said: "After all, it is my brother's own blessing."

She also smiled bitterly, "At first, I never thought that I could ask the princess to bring you, my brother. Instead, I wanted to come to Nanchu with her myself. But she didn't agree, and instead asked the prince to ask for you, brother. Although it was because of me, But the key is that brother, you are talented, and the queen knows about it and thinks you can use it."

Hearing this, Qin Ruo looked at Qin Luan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Has the princess noticed that you like Zhou Guzhi?"

Qin Luan paused.

Qin Ruo sighed, "You have already entered the East Palace, do you still like Zhou Gu? Your Majesty is so smart. If you still like her, no matter how good you hide it, you can't hide it in front of her."

Qin Luan lowered his head, "Maybe!"

Qin Ruo heard this and asked, "What about now? I remember your last letter, telling me that you didn't want to come to Southern Chu. Why did you change your mind in such a short time?" Qin Luan pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked at Qin Ruo , "Because at that time, I wanted to stay in the East Palace and be the prince's woman."

Qin Ruo was shocked.

Qin Luan twitched the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that the prince would marry Princess Duanhua, but he said it himself, there will only be a prince, and there will be no side concubines, Liangdi, or concubines by his side in the future. There would be no sixth palace, and there would be no concubines, only a queen.”

Qin Ruo looked at Qin Luan in shock.

Qin Luan said calmly: "The prince gave me three ways to choose, and I chose to come to Nanchu."

“Which three roads?”

Qin Luan said everything one by one.

Qin Ruo was shocked and had mixed emotions. He looked at Qin Luan and said, "I remember that Xie Lin is not bad."

"He is good, but brother, I don't like him. Moreover, Prince Ruian's Palace is not what I want. For me, if I can't marry the person I like, then I have to stand beside the most powerful person. If I can't Standing next to the most powerful person, then I want to have the power in my hands. If I don't have the power in my hands..." Qin Luan said word by word: "I would rather die."

Qin Ruo was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he said: "Back then, when the Qin family was not defeated, and my mother taught you, I never saw you having this idea. When did you get it?"

"At that time, I liked Zhou Gu and thought it was possible. After all, no one can be better than me as a lady in the capital. And you were on good terms with Zhou Gu. Every time Zhou Gu came to your home to look for you, he would occasionally run into me. He Unlike Duanhua, who never hides or avoids me, and occasionally speaks a few words to me, I thought that as long as he didn't hate me, I could marry him. Also, my reputation and family background, even if It is also possible to be a crown princess. After all, the East Palace was suppressed at that time, and my father was given an important position. But the Qin family failed."

Qin Luan said: "The day Zhou Gu and Xie Lin robbed me, brother, you don't know how happy I was, but I didn't expect that the old Protector stood at the door of the Protector's Mansion with a military stick and said to Zhou Gu, He had a fiancée in Jiangning County. At that moment, my sky fell. Later, Zhou Gu did not resist strongly and allowed the old Protector to ask Your Majesty to make the decision and bestow me in the East Palace. I thought, God will not destroy me. , maybe the East Palace is also my way, but who would have thought that the prince would not touch the women in the East Palace at all. The day I first entered the East Palace, he asked the housekeeper to warn me. In the next year, he only had court affairs. , not close to women..."

Qin Luan took a deep breath and looked at Qin Ruo, "Now, he wants to marry Duan Hua, and the imperial edict has been issued. Brother, I came to Nanchu because I had no choice. Now I don't really want to come to Nanchu. .”

Qin Ruo was completely speechless.

Qin Luan confessed to him, "So, brother, can you talk to the concubine, or ask the concubine, since there is a shortage of people in the court, and the concubine does not hesitate to use women around her, can I enter the court?"

Qin Ruo's mood was extremely complicated, as if he didn't know his sister, who had grown up since childhood. She was obviously raised by his mother to be a lady, but now, she had her own ambitions and she clearly told him what she wanted in her heart. Listen, from the time when the Qin family was defeated, to when she asked him to take care of her, to when she entered the East Palace as a female official, to now, she refused Xie Lin's marriage and still came to Nanchu.

He rubbed his brows, "Although the concubine has used women, it is only limited to the people around her. There are no women in the court yet. There are women's schools in Nanchu, but the studies are different from those of men. Even if the women in Nanchu are better than Daliang, Women are relatively open-minded and don't have so many restrictions, but they are limited to some positions that are not very important..."
