Chapter 150 Minghui's Decision
"Where is my daughter Minghui?" Upon learning that his daughter was secretly kidnapped and used as a substitute, the King of Shu's temper immediately flared up and he rushed here without stopping. So as soon as he arrived at the gate, he shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Chu Ci put down his bowl. "Could it be that the King of Shu has arrived?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without waiting for a response from the people around him. The three sisters of the Fan family looked at each other and then followed him.
Even so, when Chu Ci and his three companions were halfway there, Zi Yi led the King of Shu in quickly.
As soon as Chu Ci appeared, the purple-robed envoy was about to introduce himself, but the King of Shu raised his hand to stop the purple-robed envoy.
Afterwards, the King of Shu looked at Chu Ci for a long time and asked, "Are you the wife of the Qilin child of the Fan family? And you are the one who saved my Minghui?"
Fan Jingrui is worthy of being called the Fan family's talented son, but why does the King of Shu look at him with such scrutiny and even a hint of hostility?
"Chu Ci greets His Majesty the King of Shu." Chu Ci did not answer, but just bowed lightly.
The King of Shu was furious when he heard this, but he suppressed his anger when he heard the voice of the visitor. "I am Feng Yan, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to His Highness the King of Shu."
"Feng Yan, your father is willing to let you leave the capital?" The King of Shu's face was full of astonishment.
Feng Yan did not answer, but only said: "Feng Yan is now Madam Fan's deputy."
When the King of Shu heard this, his doubts grew. Even though the Imperial Observatory was relatively idle compared to the other six ministries, the director of the Imperial Observatory was still a fifth-rank official.
My father actually let a fifth-rank official serve as the deputy of a woman in the inner palace?
The King of Shu expressed that he found it difficult to understand, but in his heart, the status of Chu Ci had been infinitely elevated.
As his mind changed, the King of Shu's attitude made a 180-degree turn: "Hahahaha, as expected, she is a woman who can protect the Fan family in a desperate situation. She is truly extraordinary."
It was as if the temptation just now did not exist.
As expected, the eldest prince, Prince of Shu, who had been fighting with the second prince, Prince of Qi, in the court for many years, was not a simple character, even though he was rumored to be reckless.
Chu Ci rolled his eyes in his heart, but his face was full of joy. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness the King of Shu. I just had better luck."
King Shu: You are indeed picked up by the Chu family. You dare to call yourself "me" in front of a prince like me? You really have no manners.
His behavior was like that of a good father. "Yes, if not, how could Madam save my daughter Minghui? Speaking of Minghui, Madam Fan, can you take me to see her?"
Oh, finally we are getting to the point. The smile on Chu Ci's face suddenly became much more normal, and he thought he could finally get rid of it.
But Chu Ci had never expected that Princess Minghui would be unwilling to leave?
Not only did Chu Ci not understand, even the King of Shu had a ferocious look on his face, but he said to Chu Ci: “Madam Fan, what did you do to Minghui?”
Chu Ci was really wronged: "I said I really didn't do anything, do you believe it?"
The King of Shu did not answer, but cast his eyes on the purple-robed envoy beside him. The purple-robed envoy's brain was working rapidly: "Why don't you ask the princess? Maybe the princess has her own considerations."
"You..." The King of Shu felt very aggrieved. He could put on airs in front of the Purple-robed Envoy, but he couldn't deny him face.
Fortunately, Minghui spoke up at this time, which eased the embarrassment of the King of Shu. "Father, Minghui wants to take revenge on her own."
The King of Shu was slightly startled when he heard this. "Minghui, you are the princess of the King of Shu's Palace. No one can bully Minghui without paying the price."
However, Minghui was very stubborn: "But the reality is that Princess Minghui could also be someone else."
The King of Shu might not be a good man, nor a good husband, but he was definitely tolerant of his daughter. "It's father's fault. Father must strengthen the protection of the inner courtyard today."
The inner courtyard, including all the women and children. How much would be allocated to each person? Minghui was still dissatisfied, "Father, I want to have the ability to protect myself."
Seeing his daughter so stubborn, the King of Shu had to consider the possibility of Minghui staying. "It seems that Minghui will not change her mind in the short term. Madam Fan, can you prepare a room for me?"
"Of course, it is an honor for us that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is willing to stay."
In this way, the King of Shu stayed for a while.
Everyone thought that Minghui would be the one who would eventually compromise, but no one expected that three days later, only the King of Shu would leave. He really came and went in a hurry.
Chu Ci looked at Ming Hui who was following closely behind him, and finally couldn't help asking: "The capital city is not safe, so why do you think it's safe around me?"
"At least, the poison in my body can be removed here, but no one in the capital can do it." Minghui is young, but he is a little smart.
"Aunt Chu, if my guess is correct, the Fifth Uncle should have been rescued by you a long time ago, right? You announced his disappearance just to protect him."
"So what?" Chu Ci still didn't respond.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you are so confident in letting my fifth uncle stay here, and you also let my father treat him with courtesy. You are definitely not a simple person. Minghui wants to learn from you."
Although Minghui was young and could not give more reasons, she still tried hard to blink her eyes and tried to express her demands.
Chu Ci thought for a long time: "Are you planning for your future?"
However, is this possible? Minghui is only six years old. In her previous life, a child of this age would just want to eat candy, but in this world, Minghui is already worrying about her future.
Minghui was filled with anxiety after her little trick was exposed. "Aunt Chu, are you willing to accept me?"
Chu Ci thought for a moment, "If you wish, the Future Women's Academy will accept women from all over the world."
Although Minghui did not get the answer she wanted, it was still better than the fastest result she had expected. "Minghui is willing. But now is not the enrollment period. Is Aunt Chu going to open a back door for Minghui?"
Is this little guy provoking her?
Chu Ci smiled slightly: "Minghui may not know that in addition to regular students, the Future Women's College also has auditors. And auditors don't have to pay tuition!"
After all, he is still young and lacks a sense of security because of being kidnapped.
After repeated consideration, Minghui finally agreed. "Okay, Minghui understands. Minghui is willing to be an auditor."
So, Chu Ci took the opportunity to promote the "Future Women's College" again.
In Lianzhou today, people may not know who the governor is, nor are they clear about what year or month it is, but the name of the "Future Women's College" is known to everyone.
This situation reached its climax when the first wave of students who had completed three months of study earned their first income.
The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Therefore, at the gate of the "Future Women's College", people would ask every day when the college would start recruiting students.
