Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 153
Back at Prince Li's Mansion, before Jing Chun could take a sip of tea, Jiang Hejin came in with a group of maids.

"Hi, princess, concubine."

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Jing Chun's eyes revealed a little suspicion.

After the maids bowed and saluted, they put down the things in their hands and backed out.

Jing Chun saw the clothes and jewelry on the table and looked at Jiang Hejin with some deep meaning, "Is this a bribe, Your Highness?"

Jiang Hejin was also not polite, and sat beside Jing Chun, his words were somewhat mocking, "It seems that the time spent in Jingzhao Mansion has taught Xijun a lot of operations in the officialdom."

Jing Chun pointed to the thing on the table, and said with a fake smile: "Is it a bad thing to know the text and see the facts, and to judge the talent by the sequence?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hejin took out a post from his sleeve and pushed it towards Jing Chun, "Xijun Bingxue is smart, so he must know the deep meaning of this king."

Jing Chun accepted the post, and after reading it, he smiled unconsciously, and then drank all the tea in the cup.

"All these things are made for me to wear for the palace banquet?"

Seeing that Jiang Hejin didn't respond, they probably acquiesced.

Jiang Hejin frowned slightly when he saw the slightly lazy Jing Chun, "You don't want to go?"

Jing Chun really didn't have any reluctance to go. After all, Jing Chun cooperated with Jiang Hejin, and her life would naturally be easier. Besides, the guests at the banquet were all relatives of the royal family. Pulse, maybe it will come in handy in the future.

But Jing Chun didn't want to give up this opportunity to hold Jiang Hejin in vain, so he said, "I didn't say no, but I'm quite tired, and I also know that this night banquet in the palace must be a lot of talk for me. It makes me upset to hear the matter, besides, it is in the imperial palace, I have to be well-rounded, beautiful in every way, with a happy expression on my face, and don't let up in the slightest. I am no better than the etiquette cultivated in the deep palace of His Royal Highness Li Wang, I can't stick to it for long Wouldn't it be better to drink tea, eat some snacks, and sleep soundly for the smiling face of time?"

"Just for this moment of comfort?"

"Does the comfort of this moment determine my state of mind tomorrow? I don't want to wait until I get up tomorrow to still be thinking about the tiredness I felt at the dinner party."

Jiang Hejin looked down and met Jing Chun's eyes, with a sneer on his lips, "Xijun, you don't really think that I'm here to ask your opinion, do you?"

Jing Chun smiled, "Your Highness doesn't really think that my thoughts are not important, right? If I go to the palace with a straight face, it will definitely be disadvantageous for Your Highness. Rather than making things difficult for Your Highness, why not let me be more comfortable for you?" I'm fine."

"If it's against me, will Xijun's life be easier?"

Jing Chun's originally bright smile suddenly froze, "What's your Highness's reason for targeting me?"

"I am not targeting Jing Chun, but Princess Li. Xijun should understand that as a bride who has just entered Prince Li's palace, if such an occasion does not appear, then what kind of situation will Xijun put me in? I After being reprimanded, what I wanted to do was to return it even harder."

"If I really don't go, will His Highness Prince Li tie me there?"

If Jing Chun doesn't go, how will Jiang and Jin's plan be implemented?
"This method is not a bad idea," Jiang Hejin commented unconsciously: "Xijun really has the ability to distinguish things before things happen, and he actually knows what the king is thinking."

It was this superficially peaceful expression that made Jing Chun shudder. This oppressive feeling was completely frightening Jing Chun alone.

Fortunately, Jing Chun's words just now left him some room, so that he wouldn't have no way out.

Jing Chun sighed secretly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes unconsciously, like the hesitation when he sat up suddenly on a rainy night, the heat in his heart that was originally filled with melancholy turned cold at some point.

Jing Chun had no choice but to calm down and pretended to cooperate, "Your Highness forgot? I didn't say no, even if the Queen Mother invited me, how could I not go? Besides, I really want to hear what the outside world thinks of me. What's the talk, just words, listening more will not hurt me, besides, after all, with the support of His Royal Highness Li Wang, I will naturally not be bullied, I believe His Highness Li Wang also doesn't want me to be bullied, right?"

Jiang Hejin is good at observing words and expressions, listening to Jing Chun's half-baked words, he unconsciously looked at Jing Chun, with a slightly wary but hesitant look in his eyes, he knew very well that the intention of Jing Chun's words was to seek shelter for herself.

But Jiang Hejin knew in his heart that the only asylum Jing Chun could find was him, Jiang Hejin.

All of a sudden, thousands of thoughts rushed into Jiang Hejin's mind. Jing Chun didn't feel sorry for Jiang Hejin in any way, even in some places, Jing Chun helped Jiang Hejin a lot...

However, some things must be sacrificed...

Jiang Hejin came back to his senses, shouted to the outside, and several maids brought five or six dishes.

"Today's night banquet will definitely not be able to satisfy your appetite. You should eat something first. As for the night banquet, just eat whatever you want."

Seeing that Jing Chun didn't move his chopsticks, Jiang Hejin asked in due course, "What do you want?"

Seeming to have guessed Jing Chun's words, Jiang Hejin said before Jing Chun could speak, "If there are some words of reconciliation, there is no need to talk about it."

"Oh, not this time."

"That is?"

"I want His Highness to help me protect someone."

In Jiang Hejin's eyes, Jing Chun didn't seem to care too much about things. He could see that what Jing Chun wanted seemed to have a heavy shackle, but now he could say from Jing Chun's mouth that he wanted to protect a person. The thought slightly tensed his nerves, and asked, "Who?"

"Aunt Lan."

Jiang Hejin's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his strong back became slightly slack, "If you are worried about Aunt Lan, just make your own arrangements. Even if you are received at Prince Li's Mansion, I won't say anything more. It’s just that now you ask me for help, this is not like Mr. Xi’s style.”

The threat of the Queen Mother that day kept coming to Jing Chun's ears. Jing Chun had never thought of taking Aunt Lan to Prince Li's Mansion for arrangement. But if she really took her to Prince Li's Mansion, she would undoubtedly have made it clear that she would confront the Queen Mother. I'm afraid It will anger the Empress Dowager Liu, but it will not only hurt Aunt Lan...

"I have my own reasons. Is Your Highness not going to help?"

Jiang Hejin recalled what Jing Chun said just now and smiled slightly: "I didn't say I wouldn't help."

Jing Chun suddenly became a little serious, "As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. I don't ask His Highness to send troops blatantly. I only want to protect Lan Gu secretly and protect her."

Jiang and Jin were silent for a long time. They probably knew that this was the trouble caused by Princess Jing Chunli's identity. "It's not a difficult matter. You just have to eat your own food. I will help Aunt Lan with this matter."

Hearing this, Jing Chun lost his worries and ate something to satisfy his hunger.
