The courtyard was completely silent.
After Nangong Huoyue finished speaking, everyone in the Qin family had a buzzing sound in their heads.
I was both frightened and confused.
Who is the gentleman that the eldest princess is talking about
Who in their Qin family has such terrifying ability that he could make the eldest princess come in person to become his disciple and even kneel down three times to kowtow
You know, the eldest princess is now the most powerful person in the Great Yan Empire.
Second to none, above ten thousand others.
He has a fiefdom, an army, talents, and many followers.
At the same time, she is the only biological sister of the current emperor!
Such a person actually condescended to come to their Qin family and wanted to worship someone in their Qin family as his teacher
Just as everyone's minds were buzzing with doubts, a voice suddenly came from under the eaves: "Your Highness, please forgive me. How can I, a commoner, be worthy of your kneeling? This is a crime of disrespect, Your Highness must not do this! As for becoming your disciple, what virtue and ability do I have to be your teacher? I dare not agree to this, I hope Your Highness will take it back."
At this time, everyone in the Qin family turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw the young man on the eaves who was bowing and clasping his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. They were all stunned.
It’s him!
Jianjia's husband? The son-in-law who looked honest, weak and taciturn
How could it be him
The Second Master Qin, the Fourth Master Qin, and other members of the Qin family were all extremely shocked.
They could never have dreamed that the person the eldest princess wanted to personally become his apprentice would be this son-in-law who was born in a humble family and was still just a scholar!
It's incredible, unbelievable!
"gentlemen."
Nangong Huoyue cupped her hands and said respectfully, "There is no order of learning, the one who is more accomplished is the teacher. Sir, you are so talented, I admire you very much, and I am willing to be your disciple. I hope you will not refuse."
After saying this, he bowed slightly and was about to kneel down.
Qin Wenzheng, who was standing in front of her with his head bowed, suddenly changed his expression. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down on his knees, supported himself with both hands, and said in a trembling voice with a pale face, "Your Highness, you must not do this!"
If they kneel down, the Qin family will immediately be at the center of public opinion.
Even the current emperor is not worthy of the eldest princess's kneeling, let alone little people like them.
Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou immediately walked out from under the eaves, walked quickly to her, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this."
Nangong Huoyue stared into his eyes, then took a few steps sideways to avoid Qin Wenzhen, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised, ready to stop her, and bent her knees to kneel down again.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly stepped forward and offered his hand to support him.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Huoyue seemed to really kneel down this time. Her hunched hands just fell into his palms, and her knees were about to kneel down.
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed her hand, holding her body and said, "Your Highness, if you insist on kneeling down, I will never write the unfinished work again."
Nangong Huoyue paused, straightened up, looked at him and said, "Sir, I am sincere and have no intention of teasing or intimidating you."
Isn't this intimidating
Luo Qingzhou let go of her hand and refused again with a firm attitude: "Your Highness, I will never agree to this."
Nangong Huoyue stood there without moving or speaking, her eyes fixed on him.
There was dead silence in the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou secretly sighed in his heart, and had to raise his head, looked at her and said: "Your Highness, the story will not end. If Your Highness has other confusions and puzzles in the future, you can send someone to find me, and I will do my best."
A smile finally appeared on Nangong Huoyue's face, as if she had been waiting for these words.
Her eyes were burning as she nodded, "Okay, since you really don't want to, I won't force you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me, and I will definitely do my best for you!"
When the Qin family members heard these words, their eyes towards the young man changed again.
This little son-in-law is going to heaven!
Luo Qingzhou said nothing more.
Now that things have come to this, what else can he say
Regardless of whether he said what he just said or not, his relationship with the eldest princess could no longer be denied.
The other party came to become a disciple in front of so many people today, obviously this is what he meant.
He and the Qin family have now been forcibly tied to the other party's big ship. From now on, no matter whether the sea is calm or stormy, they will not be able to get off.
Unless they reach shore, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.
The eldest princess's scheming and decisiveness, as well as her strong character that allowed her to bend and stretch, really made him feel a chill down his spine.
"Yuewu, bring me the gift I prepared for you, my lord!"
Nangong Huoyue gave an order.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Yuewu agreed and immediately walked forward with a sword in her hand and handed it to Luo Qingzhou.
Luo Qingzhou took a closer look.
The hilt and scabbard are both golden, sparkling in the sun, flashing a noble and charming luster.
There is also a phoenix engraved on the scabbard with its wings spread high in the air, spewing flames from its mouth, looking very majestic!
"Sir, this sword is my Golden Phoenix Sword, which was forged by the late emperor specifically for me. Seeing the sword is like seeing the person. Sir, please accept it. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can take this sword to the army or the Fire Moon Country to find me. No one will dare to stop you."
Everyone in the Qin family looked up, their eyes wide open, in shock.
The eldest princess actually took out the sword that represents her supreme power in the Fire Moon Kingdom. How did this kid do it
Seeing that things had come to this point, Luo Qingzhou did not refuse anymore. He took it respectfully with both hands and thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Seeing that he accepted it, the princess' smile became even more cordial. She glanced at the snow-white figure under the eaves and said with a bow, "Sir, I will not disturb you during the New Year. Goodbye."
After saying that, she reached out and held his hand, and stuffed a note into his palm.
Then, he turned and left.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Take care, Your Highness."
The heavy footsteps and the clatter of armor and swords gradually faded away and soon went out of the door.
The courtyard was still silent.
Only when the sound of horse hooves outside the gate gradually faded away did Qin Wenzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, raise his head, take a look, and then stand up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down.
Luo Qingzhou quickly supported him.
Qin Wenzheng's face turned pale, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he looked like he had survived a disaster, he said in a trembling voice: "Qingzhou, you did the right thing, if the princess had knelt down just now, our Qin family, young and old, would have been finished. Alas..."
He paused for a while, then looked at the people who were still kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said, "Everyone, get up. Why are you still kneeling? His Highness has already left."
Everyone looked up, and glanced with complicated eyes at the young man next to him, and the golden sword in the young man's hand.
They were afraid of Jianru as if they were seeing the princess.
Qin Wen Zheng also glanced at the sword in his son-in-law's hand. He was frightened and itchy at the same time. He wanted to take it, touch it, and then pull it out to take a look.
This sword not only represents supreme power. I heard that the late emperor found many weapon-making masters to forge it, and added a lot of rare materials. It is estimated that it is at least a magic weapon.
"Father-in-law, do you want to see it?"
Seeing that his eyes were burning with passion and his fingers were ready to move, Luo Qingzhou immediately handed the sword in his hand to him.
Qin Wenzheng was startled and stepped back hastily, waving his hands and saying, "No, no, Qingzhou, take it yourself. This thing is the princess's personal belongings and the national treasure of Huoyue Country. Don't let others touch it. This is a crime of disrespect!"
Master Qin Er and Master Qin Si also stood up and came over, smiling and saying, "Yes, Qingzhou, this thing was forged by the late emperor specifically for the eldest princess. It not only represents the eldest princess, but also the late emperor. You must not disrespect it. Take it back quickly and place it on the table in the main hall. Keep it well, wipe it every day, don't let it get dusty, and don't let anyone steal it or damage it. That's a capital crime!"
Luo Qingzhou saw that he was holding this sword, and everyone seemed a little scared, so he had to walk through the crowd, walked under the eaves and said: "Help me take it back first."
"Yes! Okay, uncle!"
Bailing immediately stretched out her hands happily.
Luo Qingzhou waved the sword in his hand in front of her, handed it to Xiaodie, and said, "Let me go to my room."
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it in her trembling hands and said in panic, "Oh."
Qiu Er, who was standing next to her, said quickly, "Xiao Die, let's go. I'll go with you. Be sure to hold it tightly and don't drop it."
The two little girls immediately left with their swords in their hands, looking nervous.
Qin Wenzheng quickly ordered: "Zhou Tong, take two guards and follow."
"Yes, sir!"
Butler Zhou immediately brought two guards and carefully escorted the two little girls away.
This sword is the Qin family's treasure and a golden medal of immunity from death, and it cannot afford any mistakes.
Bai Ling was furious. The smile on her face froze, and her outstretched hands were stiffly retracted. Her chest heaved as she glared at the bad guy who was deliberately teasing her.
Luo Qingzhou turned around, ignored her, and looked towards the yard.
At this time, the other people kneeling in the courtyard stood up one after another.
However, the shock and fear on his face still did not fade away.
Especially his mother-in-law, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up, and had to be helped up by Mei'er and another maid.
"Come on, let's go inside."
Qin Wen Zheng looked at her with a complicated expression, then led everyone back into the house.
"Master, I have a stomachache..."
"Master, I... I too..."
When Master Qin Er and Master Qin Si were about to follow them into the house, their two wives held their stomachs with weak legs and made painful expressions, not daring to follow them in.
Song Ruyue, who was supported by two maids, suddenly brightened up and quickly took the opportunity to say, "Let's go to my backyard..."
So, a group of maids and nannies immediately surrounded the three ladies whose legs were weak, and left trembling and in embarrassment.
"Why do I have a stomachache? Big brother, could it be that the tea and snacks are not right, and someone has poisoned them?"
Mr. Qin Si suddenly became alert and his face became serious.
Qin Wenzheng's face suddenly darkened, he glanced at him, and angrily scolded: "It's New Year's Day, and you keep saying unlucky things, why don't I poison you to death!"
The corner of Qin Siye's mouth twitched, and he dared not say anything. He lowered his head and followed him into the house, muttering softly, "Brother, what you said is unlucky..."
Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin followed him into the living room.
At this time, the Qin family, whether elders or juniors, looked at him with something strange in their eyes.
"Come, come, Qingzhou, come and sit down! Jianjia, come and sit down too! Come and tell Fourth Uncle how you got to know the Princess?"
The fourth master of the Qin family did not dare to sit down first. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately said with a smile on his face.
The second master of the Qin family also changed his previous coldness and had a kind smile on his face.
