The life of a man on the road of film and television

Chapter 279 Ruyi 76

Even though Bai Ruiji was always sweet-talking and good at praising people, after hearing about many of Hongli's romantic affairs over the years, such as favoring concubines over his wives, it was really difficult for her to utter words of praise.

She spoke reluctantly, and Yin Qi felt uncomfortable listening to her, so he quickly raised his hand to stop Bai Ruiji from continuing with her patchwork words of praise.

"Stop, stop, stop. I mean, what do you think about the fact that he's interested in you?"

When Bai Ruiji heard Yin Qi ask this, she thought that Hongli asked Yin Qi for her, and she was so scared that she immediately knelt down without caring about anything else.

"My lord, I don't know what I did wrong. Please forgive me this time. I don't want to leave Changchun Palace. I don't want to leave my godmother. My lord, please don't chase me away. Woohoo"

"..."

Seeing Bai Ruiji crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Yin Qi felt like he was some kind of evil person who had to force her to marry him off to some dangerous place.

"This prince does want to ask if you are interested in marrying into the Baojun Prince's Mansion as a princess. Of course, this prince is just asking, and has no intention of directly giving you to Hongli. Whether this matter succeeds or not depends on your thoughts."

After carefully observing Yin Qi's expression and seeing that he did not seem to be lying to her, Bai Ruiji finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears and smiled, looking at Yin Qi and spoke very seriously.

"I don't want to"

Seeing her like this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Yin Qi's eyes. It seemed that his years of training were not in vain, but he still kept asking.

"Why, isn't Hongli good?"

Bai Ruiji shook her head, her eyes still firm.

"It's not that Prince Bao is bad, it's that I am not worthy of Prince Bao"

In response to her concern, Yin Qi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You don't have to worry about this. With me here, although I can't let you become the concubine of Prince Bao, you can still be a princess. When you have a child in the future, I will also let Hongli make you a concubine."

But even though Yinqi said this, Bai Ruiji still shook her head firmly.

"My Lord, I don't want to."

Seeing that Bai Ruiji was really not attracted to Hongli, Yinqi finally felt relieved and the smile on his face became more genuine.

In fact, when Bai Ruiji had just come of age, Nanny Liu had already asked her about her marriage.

Although Bai Ruiji was not old enough to leave the palace at that time, this little matter was nothing to Yinqi.

But Bai Ruiji was still young at that time, and she thought that Nanny Liu asked this because she didn't want her anymore, so she cried very sadly. After that, Nanny Liu never mentioned this matter again until she was eighteen years old.

Later, when she grew up, Nanny Liu asked for her opinion again, but Bai Ruiji still refused, saying that she wanted to stay with her godmother for a few more years.

There was no choice but to agree under the coaxing of her. However, after that, whenever Liu Ma saw a good man, she would privately ask Xiao Yuanzi to find out more before asking Bai Ruiji for her opinion.

But among so many people, Bai Ruiji didn't like any one, and her marriage has been delayed until now.

"In this case, I will not force you. However, you are already 22 years old. In three years, you will be old enough to leave the palace. If you marry then, you will become an old maid.

This is a list of suitable candidates that I have asked people to find among the noble families in Beijing. Take a look and see if there is anyone you like.

Don't worry about his family, character and abilities. He is a top-notch boy among his peers."

As he spoke, Yin Qi handed a picture album to Bai Ruiji.

"Here are their portraits. Take a look at the one that appeals to you. No matter who it is, as long as you like them, I will let Jinzhong recognize you as his sister and marry you off in style."

But Bai Ruiji did not take the booklet that Yin Qi handed over. She bit her lower lip as if she was making a decision, and kowtowed to Yin Qi.

"My Lord, I already have a lover."

"Oh? Who is it? Do I know him?"

This surprised Yin Qi. After all, Bai Ruiji lived in Changqiu Palace all year round, and the only people she could see were eunuchs and guards.

There were very few people working in the palace in the albums that Yinqi had selected before. All the guards who could serve in the palace were from the Eight Banners. These people inevitably looked down on the Han people in their bones, so Yinqi had not considered them before.

But since Bai Ruiji has asked, no matter how difficult it is, Yinqi will let her get her wish because she has been serving Madam Liu sincerely for so many years.

Bai Ruiji sat up, her ears turned red with shyness, but she still bravely said the name.

"My Lord, I love Guard Chen Ma."

"..."

After thinking about it a lot, Yin Qi never thought it would be Chen Ma. Thinking that Bai Ruiji's lover was such a stubborn person, Yin Qi held his forehead with a headache.

Tiger, Leopard, Horse and Sheep were the secret guards left to Yinqi by Kangxi before his death. They had always been in the dark, so they did not have their own names.

When they were in Kangxi's hands, their names were called in order of one, two, and three.

When they came to Yinqi, he thought these names were very childish, so he asked for their opinions and changed their names.

But he was so bad at naming that he had no choice but to randomly pick a surname from the Hundred Family Surnames and choose a few animals he liked to name the four children.

Later, Yin Qi no longer let the four people hide in the dark, but followed him.

On weekdays when Yinqi did not go out, Hu Bao, Ma Yang and the other three would divide into two groups and take turns guarding Yinqi.

When something happened, Chen Ma would be left in the palace to protect Nanny Liu.

The personalities of these four people are just like their names. Chen Hu is like a big brother, steady, reliable, and can always stand in the front and handle things clearly.

Chen Bao's character is a little impatient, but his martial arts skills are indeed the best among the four.

Chen Yang is the youngest of the four and of course the most lively, but he is also the smartest.

Only Chen Ma is the most loyal and honest, but also the most stubborn and opinionated.

When they came to Yin Qi, Chen Hu was nineteen years old, Chen Bao was seventeen years old, Chen Ma was fifteen years old, and Chen Yang was thirteen years old.

Because they no longer have to hide in the dark or deal with dangerous things, the other three have all started families and careers with Yin Qi's permission.

Only Chen Ma was the stubborn one. He thought that since Kangxi asked him to protect Yinqi, he would stay by Yinqi's side and obey Yinqi's orders until his death.

Even though Yin Qi told him several times that it didn't matter, this man remained unmoved. Even now, at the age of 28, he is still a bachelor.

Now Yin Qi finally understood why Bai Ruiji had remained unmoved by Madam Liu's urging for marriage. It turned out that she was waiting for such a blockhead.

Thinking of the boast he had just made, Yin Qi really wanted to go back in time and take back those words.
