Chapter 150 Minghui's Decision
"Where is my daughter Minghui?" Upon learning that his daughter had been secretly kidnapped and used as a substitute, the King of Shu's temper flared up, and he rode non-stop all the way here. Therefore, as soon as he reached 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 the other three 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 and stopped 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 it was you who saved my Minghui?"
Fan Jingrui is worthy of being called the "unicorn son" of the Fan family, 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 upon hearing this, but he suppressed his anger when he heard the voice of the visitor. "I, Feng Yan, pay my respects to His Highness the King of Shu."
"Feng Yan, your father is actually 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."
Upon hearing this, the King of Shu became even more suspicious. Even though the Imperial Observatory was relatively idle compared to the other six ministries, its Director was still a fifth-rank official.
My father actually let a fifth-rank official serve as deputy to 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 raced, the King of Shu's attitude took a 180-degree turn: "Hahahaha, worthy of being the woman who could protect the Fan family in such a desperate situation, she is truly extraordinary."
It was as if the temptation just now did not exist.
As expected, the eldest prince, King Shu, who had been fighting with the second prince, King Qi, in the court for many years, was no simple character, even though he was rumored to be reckless.
Chu Ci rolled his eyes inwardly, but his face was filled with joy. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness the King of Shu. I was just a little luckier."
King Shu: You are indeed the one picked up by the Chu family. You dare to call yourself "I" in front of a prince like me? You really have no manners.
He acted like a good father. "Yes, if not, how could Madam save my daughter Minghui? Speaking of Minghui, could Madam Fan 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 turned to Chu Ci and said, "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 gaze towards the purple-robed envoy beside him. The purple-robed envoy's mind raced, "Your Highness, why don't you ask the princess? Perhaps she 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 King of Shu's embarrassment. "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 absolutely tolerant of his daughter. "It's father's fault. Father will definitely 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's stubbornness, the King of Shu had to consider the possibility of Minghui staying. "It seems Minghui won't change her mind anytime soon. Madam Fan, could you please 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 Minghui would be the one to finally give in, but no one expected that three days later, only the King of Shu would leave. He truly came and went in a flash.
Chu Ci looked at Ming Hui, who was following closely behind him, and finally couldn't help asking, "If the capital isn't safe, then 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 Prince should have been rescued by you a long time ago, right? He declared himself missing just to protect the Fifth Prince."
"So what?" Chu Ci still didn't respond.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you're so confident in letting the Fifth Imperial Uncle stay, and yet you also allow my father to treat him with respect. You're definitely not an ordinary 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, trying 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, children of this age would just want to eat candy, but in this world, Minghui is already worrying about her future.
Having her little thoughts exposed, little Minghui was filled with anxiety. "Aunt Chu, are you willing to accept me?"
Chu Ci thought for a moment, "If you wish, the 'Future Women' Academy will accept women from all over the world."
Although Minghui didn't get the answer she'd longed for, it was still a step better than the fastest outcome she'd expected. "Minghui is willing. But it's not enrollment time right now. Is Aunt Chu going to give Minghui a backdoor?"
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 much 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 the current year and month, 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 world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
Therefore, at the gate of the "Future Women's College", people would ask every day when the college would start recruiting students.
