The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 137 You Have the Potential to Be a Queen
From Zixing Village, five hundred miles away, to Liandu, outside the imperial city, there is a word circulating at this time.

The emperor is cruel, cold-blooded and innocent, Prince Lian is good, and the people are blessed.

Lian Zichen resolved the Zixing Village epidemic in a peaceful and happy manner, and this matter became a topic of discussion among the common people. A goodwill prince who is wise and mighty.

Overnight, Prince Lian became a hero and idol in the hearts of the people, while Lian Jing became a tyrant emperor whom everyone disliked.

Unpopular, rare in the world, Lian Jing understood this truth since he was a child, so when the folk rumors came out, he also had a headache.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to send people to arrest those who spread rumors indiscriminately, to make an example of them, to see if those foolish people still dare to talk nonsense again?!" All the ministers of the pro-imperial faction complained about Lian Jing.

At this time, Lian Jing not only did not thank those ministers who supported him, but also cursed with a gloomy face: "Do you really want me to become the tyrant that the people say?!"

Why didn't he realize that the ministers around him were so stupid before? !
Seeing Longyan's displeasure, the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and one minister stood up, "Then, what do you want now, Your Majesty?"

"Let me think about everything, what is the use of you ministers?" What a bunch of useless trash!Lian Jing couldn't help cursing inwardly.

"Damn the humble minister!" The ministers replied in unison.

Lian Jing waved his hands annoyedly, "You all step back, think about the solution, and come back and tell me tomorrow."

"The humble minister takes orders." The ministers cupped their hands and left the imperial study one after another.

It was noon when the ministers left, and Sun Xiaoxi came to the imperial study to take a peek. When Lian Jing saw her, his expression became a little better.

He waved to her, and she ran over carelessly.

Lian Jing stood up from the dragon chair, took her little hand, and walked towards the Dragon Hall.

At noon these days, she will come to him for lunch. After he recovers, he is very busy with political affairs. She can't bear him to waste the time of the day with her and stay up late at night to review the memorial, so she proposes to come and have lunch with him at noon. .

Lian Jing is not in a good mood today, Sun Xiaoxi can see it at a glance, holding her hand and walking on the road, he looks in a trance and doesn't know what he is thinking, she raised the corners of her mouth coquettishly as if stuck to his arm On the next day, he finally took a look at her, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

"It's nothing." Men have this problem. In front of the woman they like, they must be perfect, strong, and must not have any weaknesses. My own woman knows to worry.

However, in Sun Xiaoxi's heart, when two people are together, they need to support each other and rely on each other to go on for a long time, so at this time, she has to tell her what he is unhappy about today because of Lian Jing no matter what.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want you to worry about these unnecessary things." Lian Jing softly coaxed her.

Sun Xiaoxi pouted, thinking to herself: What a machismo.

"Okay, don't tell me, right? Then I won't accompany you for lunch today, I want to go back to Xiaoxuan Palace!" She pretended to be angry, and as she spoke, she really shook off his hand and went Go to Xiaoxuan Palace.

Seeing that she was really angry, Lian Jing quickly stretched out his arms to pull her back, "Okay, if you really want to know that much, I will tell you."

As he walked towards Longxuan Hall, he told her the rumors one by one.

He took her by the hand and walked into Longxuan Hall, Xiao Mazi had already arranged the lunch, Lian Jing asked her with a preoccupied look.

"Xi'er, do you think I was really wrong when I decided to slaughter the village?"

Sun Xiaoxi frowned, not wanting to deceive him, nor flattering him, "Maybe you did something wrong, after all, those villagers in the village who were not sick died innocently."

Hearing this, Lian Jing frowned even deeper.

"However, maybe you didn't do anything wrong, because the plague that year was too big. If it can't be cured and stopped in time, more people will die."

Lian Jing's eyes lit up, but his expression was a little confused, "Then do you think I did the right thing, or did it not?"

"It's been done right, it's been five years, what's the use of you worrying about it?" Sun Xiaoxi sighed softly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Instead of worrying about what's there and what's not." It’s better to think about how to solve the current problem.”

"The people doubt you, so you should work hard to prove that you are a benevolent king. Time is fair to everyone. When you do well, the people will no longer remember the bad things you did before."

After listening to Sun Xiaoxi's words, Lian Jing instantly felt a sense of relief. In front of all the servants, he reached out and hugged her in his arms.

"Xi'er, you really have the potential to be a queen. When will you be my queen and rule this country with me?"

To be queen?Sun Xiaoxi pushed him away, "Farewell, I don't want to be the target of public criticism. It's not like you don't know how difficult those concubines in your harem are."

"Which of them dare to pester you? Tell me, I will help you deal with them." Lian Jing said half-jokingly and half-seriously, scratching her nose pamperingly while talking.

In the afternoon, Lian Yu came to see him. Lian Jing had already let go of the rumors, but when he knew the truth, his eyes could not help but sulk.

"Are you sure this rumor was spread by Lian Zichen?"

"Brother Huang, I personally investigated this matter. Lian Zichen's wolfish ambitions are so obvious. Now he clearly wants you, the emperor, to lose the popularity of the people, and then reap the benefits for himself!" No wonder he was so rude to those villagers at that time. Well, it turns out that his purpose is to compare with the emperor's brother in the hearts of the people!
"Now he can't help spreading rumors to buy people's hearts, and he is still distributing rice and grain to relieve the beggars in the north of the city. The more he does that, the more the people will turn to him. Brother Huang, you can't sit and wait for death now!"

Lian Jing smiled lowly, his long and narrow black eyes flashed fiercely, "As the saying goes, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, so now he wants to leave me with the bad name of a tyrant, and then replace it himself?"

"Brother, what do you want to do now?"

"Yu, you have been running around all day looking into this matter, go back first." Lian Jing didn't express his attitude immediately.

Lian Yu looked at him with a frown, originally wanted to tell him one thing, but now there is a wave of ups and downs, so let's wait for Brother Huang to settle the rumor.

"Okay, then the younger brother will take his leave first."

In late summer and early autumn, the evening breeze is slightly cool.

Lian Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and looked up at the moonlight outside the window, his handsome eyebrows were furrowed, looking worried.

The door of the imperial study room was pushed open, but he didn't look back.

"Concubine, I have met the emperor." Su Qinxiu saluted.

Lian Jing turned to look at her, "How do you think about what I said?"

Su Qinxiu stood up slowly, raised her eyes to look at Lian Jing, "If the emperor promises to protect my sister's life, I will help the emperor to get rid of Prince Lian."

The corner of Lian Jing's mouth raised an evil smile, "You are not joking."
