Chapter 610： gift

Chapter 610 Congratulations

Facing so many beautiful beauties, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little elated, but Lin Jinxiao's fair face was so patient, he really didn't look like a serious man.

She coughed lightly on purpose, waved her hands at the girls, and signaled them to get up, then raised her voice and slowly shouted into the room: "Tell me, what are you all good at?"

"Slaves are good at dancing."

"Slaves can dance swords."

"Slaves."

When it was the turn of the next woman, she suddenly stopped.

As the noise from the yard spread into the inner hall, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, and told He Ying, "Go and find out what other officials haven't come to Chongrenfang today, and figure out their movements."

After a pause, he added: "The officials who will come to the mansion later will also pay attention to where they have gone."

He Ying responded and was about to leave when Lin Jinxiao suddenly called him back, a sly look flashed across his eyes: "Go out and send someone to call the little princess and princess to the yard."

He Ying didn't know what he was going to do, and didn't dare to ask more, so he hurried out suspiciously.

Chu Nanzhi was still in the courtyard inspecting the beauties sent by the counties. Seeing that the princess did not resist, the county guards got close to these girls and began to flatter them boldly.

"This time, the official has specially prepared special products from the county for His Royal Highness and the princess. I wish your Highness and the princess the joy of being crowned."

Xing Huan hurriedly ordered someone to bring in the prepared congratulatory gifts. There were several heavy cowhide boxes inside, and the boys couldn't breathe while carrying them.

The rest are some well-crafted jade, jade articles and jade jewelry, which are dazzling and dazzling.

Under the lead of Xing Huan, all the officials began to scramble to display the prepared gifts, each piece of rare treasures, which makes people greedy.

Chu Nanzhi saw that she didn't bring those treasures in the box, but the items on display were all priceless, and she probably searched for people's fat and cream.

Just as everyone was immersed in complacency, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded out of place in the crowd: "Xiaguan Tuyuan County Magistrate Xu Jinzhou has come to congratulate His Highness and the concubine on their conferment."

"Xu Jinzhou?"

When the court was neutral, the pot exploded, and they all whispered: "What is he here for?"

Xing Huan stared at him full of vigilance, and immediately reprimanded: "Magistrate Xu, I didn't send you into the state capital, and you dare to leave without authorization."

Immediately shouted to the boys around him: "Hurry up and take this reckless person down, don't disturb the princess's interest."

"Wait a minute."

Chu Nanzhi sensed something was wrong, immediately stopped Xing Huan, and said with a smirk: "Since you are here to congratulate Xi, why should Prefect Xing keep him away, please come up."

"The princess doesn't know something. This person has always been arrogant and unreasonable, and he has no king or father in his eyes."

As soon as Xing Huan replied in an orderly manner, Xu Jinzhou had already broken through the barrier and walked forward on his own, arguing loudly: "If everyone in the world is as selfish as Taishou Xing and deceives others, Disregarding the laws of the country, what etiquette is there for the empire to respect."

"Stop talking nonsense in front of the princess."

Xing Huan immediately knelt down in front of Chu Nanzhi, and begged bitterly, "Please ask the princess to be the judge of the subordinate. The subordinate has worked hard in his tenure and has been working hard, but he has repeatedly been embarrassed and slandered by the county magistrate Xu."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Chu Nanzhi shook her head in disbelief.

It was the first time she had heard of such a strange thing, the majestic prefect of a county was stumbled by a district magistrate.

Deliberately coquettishly glanced at Xu Jinzhou, magistrate of Tuyuan County, and asked sharply: "Magistrate Xu, is it true what Taishou Xing said?"

"Princess Ping Ning really flattered her from office."

Facing Chu Nanzhi's questioning, Xu Jinzhou showed no trace of fear on his face, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "How dare you make things difficult for the prefect, but the prefect is always making things difficult for the prefect. This time, all the officials in the thirty-eight counties of Funing County Invited to the state capital to watch the ceremony, only the lower officials were not invited, and sent people to chase and intercept the lower officials to prevent the lower officials from coming smoothly."

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help taking a serious look at Xu Jinzhou, who was thin-skinned and tender, and looked like a frail scholar, but there was an indescribable sense of arrogance in his bones.

Logically speaking, any high-ranking official from Pingning Prefecture can come to Luyan Port to watch the ceremony this time. Xing Huan refused to let him enter the state capital together. I'm afraid there must be something hidden in it.

Her light eyes fell on Xing Huan who was still kneeling, and she asked in a teasing tone: "Mr. Xing, why didn't you allow County Magistrate Xu to come to the state capital, and you chased and intercepted him? Could it be that you have something to shame?" The handle is in his hands?"

"Nothing at all."

Xing Huan raised his head resolutely, and replied swearingly: "Your Majesty has always fulfilled his duties, and he has never had any control in other people's hands. He just didn't want someone with ulterior motives to disturb the purity of His Royal Highness and the concubine's sealing ceremony."

"I see."

Chu Nanzhi looked at Xu Jinzhou again with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Magistrate Xu, the conferment ceremony of His Highness this time is related to the face of the Dahe Empire. It is indeed not to be underestimated. It is reasonable for Governor Xing to have such concerns. .”

Looking at the box in his hand, Chu Nanzhi raised his voice and said, "But since County Magistrate Xu is here, let's temporarily put aside your prejudice against Governor Xing and rest at the posthouse for two days, and return after watching the ceremony. Take office."

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to help Xing Huan up.

The rest of the officials were relieved when they saw this.

Xu Jinzhou did not disobey Chu Nanzhi's intention, but stepped forward with the box in his hand, and said respectfully: "The lower officials have prepared a generous gift for His Royal Highness and the princess, and it happens that all the superiors are here today, and please invite the princess at a glance."

Chu Nanzhi looked at him with ulterior motives, knowing that this guy must have no good intentions, so she intentionally echoed and asked: "What good things did County Magistrate Xu prepare for this palace and His Highness, please let this palace take a look .”

Everyone's eyes widened, staring quietly at the exquisite box in Xu Jinzhou's hand.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Jinzhou unhurriedly opened the box himself, and then a dozen egg-sized dried grass **** came into view.

Everyone was taken aback.

Xing Huan immediately flew into a rage: "Magistrate Xu, you really have the audacity to tease the princess."

The rest of the people also scolded angrily: "This person really doesn't know how to live or die, no wonder Taishou Xing doesn't want him to come to the state capital to congratulate him."

"Hurry up and detain this person."

Xing Huan's heart was already filled with heat waves, and he urged impatiently.

"The one who comes is a guest, why is Taishou Xing so excited, there must be a reason why I want to come to County Magistrate Xu to give such an expensive gift."

Chu Nanzhi stopped Xing Huan again, looked at the grass **** quietly, and just smiled faintly: "Why did County Magistrate Xu give this to me and Your Highness? I would like to hear your explanation."
