He smiled helplessly and was about to say something when he heard a familiar gloomy voice coming from the door.
"Who do you like?"
Gao Xunzhi and Xiao Rong looked over together. Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment. He asked curiously, "Why is the king here?"
Haven't we already sent the guards to inform them? There's no need to invite the king over.
Hearing this question, Qu Yunmie suddenly paused, and then he laughed for no apparent reason: "Why, I can't even come?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
They looked at each other blankly, totally confused as to why Qu Yunmie reacted this way.
Seeing that the two of them were only looking at each other and not even looking at him, Qu Yunmie became even angrier: "Where are those wealthy families?!"
Xiao Rong was confused and had to answer him honestly: "I left."
Qu Yunmie paused for a second and asked again: "What about the women they brought with them?"
Xiao Rong: "I don't know, I think he took it back..."
Gao Xunzhi interrupted and said, "I didn't take them back. How can I take the people I sent here back? I asked the guards to arrange for them to live in the dancers' quarters. I will ask about their family backgrounds when I have time. Those with good family backgrounds will be sent to the gentlemen or generals as concubines, and those with poor family backgrounds will stay here as maids."
At this point, Gao Xunzhi suddenly remembered: "Ah Rong, are you going to hire a few maids for Madam Xiao?"
Xiao Rong nodded: "I have this plan. Ah Shu is a man and he doesn't understand many things."
Gao Xunzhi smiled and said, "That's perfect. Why don't you go and pick some later?"
Xiao Rong opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, Qu Yunmie on the other side suddenly said, "No!"
The two men looked at him together. Facing the two pairs of puzzled eyes, Qu Yunmie looked back calmly for a few seconds before saying, "We still don't know whether these noble families are friends or enemies. The women they send over also need to be observed for a while. For Madam Xiao's safety, we should buy a few maids from outside. At least they won't be spies planted by others."
Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that what Qu Yunmie said made sense.
Then, he turned to Gao Xunzhi and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Besides, these women are not ordinary people. I can't just treat them as maids. Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister, but I really don't want to have someone I can't trust in my residence."
Gao Xunzhi waved his hand to show his understanding, then he stood up and went to arrange the future of those women. These women were sent here by the master of the house to be maids who could warm the bed, and their original fate was not much better. At least when they came here, no one would mistreat them.
Gao Xunzhi left, but Qu Yunmie stayed here, looking at Xiao Rong with strange eyes.
After this incident, he suddenly noticed something he had never noticed before: Xiao Rong had no concubine.
But Xiao Rong was so beautiful that he seemed like he had stepped out of a painting. How come there was no woman around him?
Qu Yunmie didn’t understand, and the result of him not understanding was to ask directly.
Xiao Rong: “…”
He replied expressionlessly, "Because I have been traveling and studying for the past eight years, my family couldn't arrange a marriage for me. Later, when my travels were over, I came to seek refuge with the king. I couldn't get married on the road, and my principle is to only marry a wife and not take concubines, so I have been single until now."
Qu Yunmie said, "I thought you were in poor health and couldn't get married."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
It is true that I am in poor health, but my body functions are all intact!
He was so angry that he asked Qu Yunmie: "Why do you ask me this? I am only nineteen years old, but you are already twenty-four. Compared to me, it is more strange that there is no one around you."
Qu Yunmie was speechless for a moment when he asked this question.
He was not the kind of general who would not get married until the Xianbei were destroyed. Ever since he went to Nanyong, there were always people who wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused.
Firstly, he didn't know how long he could live, and he might be killed tomorrow. Secondly, he was really impatient to listen to women's nagging. No matter Jian Qiao or Gongsun Yuan, their temperaments changed after they got married. Jian Qiao loved going home more and drank less because his wife didn't like him drinking, and Gongsun Yuan...he suddenly started to like taking concubines. ...
But he thought that sooner or later he would get married. After all, he was a man and men always had to start a family.
However, he could not imagine the figure of his future wife in his mind. Even if he tried really hard to think about it, the figure was still blank, without even a rough shape. In the end, he could only give up, and then vaguely said to Xiao Rong: "This king's fate has not yet arrived."
Xiao Rong looked at him speechlessly. He didn't expect you to be so romantic and still care about the word fate. Who is so unlucky to be destined to be with you? He must have blown up a kindergarten in his previous life to be tied to you in this life.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xiao Rong froze.
Because he suddenly remembered that, in a sense, he was also bound to Qu Yunmie. ... No, they were not bound together for life, and when he sent Qu Yunmie to the throne, he would be free.
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong's cold sweat instantly shrank back. He smiled as if he had survived a disaster, and then asked Qu Yunmie: "Would the King like to have lunch with me?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
Why do you eat so much every day?
