Chapter 11: Conspiracy (5)

Zhou Liangkun waited and said slowly, "Jingyuan, let's talk about the arrangements of Huachao Festival later. I want to ask you at this moment, how have you considered the matter your mother discussed with you a few days ago?" Seeing that Zhou Jingyuan was still silent, Zhou Liangkun sighed helplessly and said, "Jingyuan, this kind of thing should not be asked by me, my father, but Wang said you would not say anything to her. I also know that you don't care about her in your heart. It's okay, for my daughter's lifelong happiness, it's okay for me to ask. Jingyuan, can you tell my father the truth? What do you think of this marriage with Mr. Qiu?"

Zhou Jingyuan stared at the square brick in front of her, and her slender fingers kept stirring a silk handkerchief in her hand. Zhou Liangkun cleared his throat and said awkwardly: "Today I was in court, Mr. Qiu asked me about this matter, and it can be seen that they are very sincere. I have also seen his young master, who was a good young man last year, and now he is in the Ministry of Personnel. He is a talent that the court should value. Jingyuan, father, father is old... Now my biggest wish is nothing else, I hope to see you have a good home. My daughter must not marry the wrong person. If you want to marry, you must marry the best man. Jingyuan, you know that there have been more than ten families who have come to propose marriage to me in my family, and I can't pass this level. This time, my father really thinks it's pretty good, but you still have to listen to your thoughts to make it."

After the call was finished, Zhou Liangkun's heart couldn't help but feel a little ups and downs. He stared at his daughter straight and asked silently, "Child, can you understand Dad's painstaking efforts?" It seemed that he heard his heart's voice, Zhou Jingyuan finally raised her head, her dark eyes shining with dazzling light, and her fair cheeks were slightly red. She smiled gently at her father and said, "Good Dad, don't worry, our women in the Great Zhou Dynasty are from the sages."

Since then, when it comes to princesses and noble relatives, they are not shy people. Jingyuan is arrogant and unwilling to let others compete. Last time, did Master Di still say that his daughter is a woman who is inferior to men?" Zhou Liangkun was a little confused by her and responded casually. Zhou Jingyuan blinked charmingly and continued, "Dad, Jingyuan still remembers that you once told me how Princess Taiping reminded the late emperor and the emperor to choose a son-in-law for her..."

Zhou Liangkun was a little puzzled and said, "Well, this incident has become a legend in the court and the country, and it is well known to everyone. That day, the late emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain relatives. Princess Taiping came to the banquet in a purple robe, a jade belt around her waist, a black scarf, and a bow and arrow in her hand to dance to the late emperor and the emperor for fun. After the dance, he asked to give the two saints the military robe to her son-in-law..." At this point, Zhou Liangkun suddenly stopped. He looked at the blush on his daughter's face in a careful look, and was slightly stunned. Zhou Jingyuan was finally embarrassed by her father's stare and shouted softly: "Dad!" and lowered her head deeply.

"Military officer, military officer..." Zhou Liangkun stumbled several times before he plucked up the courage to ask his daughter: "Jingyuan, do you already have someone in your heart? And he is a military officer?" "Dad!" Zhou Jingyuan raised his voice and shouted again, and this time his neck was red. Zhou Liangkun thought, "Jingyuan, can you tell Daddy, you..." "Dad," Zhou Jingyuan interrupted his father and said coquettishly: "If you really don't accompany your daughter to Tianjue Temple, Jingyuan will go and invite Lord Di to travel with you!" "Mr. Di?" Zhou Liangkun was stunned: "Jingyuan, are you talking about Lord Di Renjie?" Zhou Jingyuan pouted: "Which Lord Di in the court?" "This..." Zhou Liangkun was completely stunned. He really couldn't understand what his daughter wanted to do?

Zhou Jingyuan was a little proud and said softly: "Dad, my daughter has inquired about it. It is because of the murder case that happened during the Chinese New Year that Tianjue Temple is doing its best to make this ritual a rare event. Even Master Chen, the master of the Tianjue Temple's scripture translation, would come to the altar to preach, but he has never taught the scriptures..." Zhou Liangkun interrupted his daughter: "Jingyuan, what are you doing? Who is Mr. Di? How could he go to Tianjue Temple to enjoy the tour with you?" Zhou Jingyuan hummed softly: "Why

No? Lord Di is now resigning in the court. He is so old, so shouldn't he be more idle?" Zhou Liangkun laughed and said, "No matter how free you want, you, a little girl, can't ask him to travel with the Flower Festival?" Zhou Jingyuan smiled confidently: "Dad, just wait and see. My daughter will definitely invite Lord Di and her daughter to visit Tianjue Temple." Then, she blushed and said, "Dad, my daughter is not intending to go against you, but she met Lord Di at the Tianyin Tower of Tianjue Temple last time, so there is this reason."

Zhou Liangkun was completely stunned. Zhou Jingyuan waited for a while, and saw that her father ignored her, so she stood up and bowed to her father and walked out the door. She quickly walked to the door and suddenly heard Zhou Liangkun trembling behind her and said, "Jingyuan, do you know what you are doing?" Zhou Jingyuan trembled all over, stopped and turned around, smiled affectionately at her father, and said softly: "Dad, you are the closest person Jingyuan is in this world. Everything Jingyuan wants to and does is to share his worries for her father, and ask her father to relax."

Zhou Jingyuan left for a long time, and Zhou Liangkun sat in the room, his mind was in chaos. Suddenly, he murmured to himself: "Military Attendant? Military Attendant? Lord Di Renjie... Could it be that person?!"

In the evening of that day, Shen Huai came to Di Renjie's study as usual. Zhou Liangkun had sent people to monitor him for more than a month, but no abnormalities were found. Therefore, Shen Huai was relatively free these two days and was just dealing with some daily chores.

When Shen Huai entered the door, Di Renjie was sitting in front of the desk, holding Zhang Shujian and watching repeatedly. Shen Huai did not dare to disturb him, so he stood by the door and waited silently. Di Renjie looked up and saw him, smiled and waved his hand, let him come in, pointing to the book in his hand, saying, "This Miss Zhou Jingyuan is really interesting. He actually thought of inviting me to visit Tianjue Temple with her on the Flower Festival on February 15th." Shen Huai just smiled and did not say anything. He didn't want to express any opinions about Miss Zhou Jingyuan. Di Renjie didn't care either, so he put down the book, asked Shen Huai a few words, and asked him to go back to rest. Since Shen Jun came to Luoyang, if there were no special circumstances, Shen Huai would go back to the small yard where Shen Jun lived to share dinner with her every day, and then returned to Di's mansion. He still lived in Li Yuanfang's original house at night, which was considered to be conscientious.
