The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 116 The Empress Dowager's Plan

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Lu Qingzong said, "That's true, but..."

"Lord Lu, it's good to be able to do your duty well, don't worry about other things."

Sima Xukong's innocuous words made Lu Qingzong sweat on his forehead, and immediately sat back with his head down in embarrassment. But more, he lost face in front of Xue Liangshan and made him feel ashamed.

Ji Haitang looked at Xue Lingruo with a plain face, and then at the grandson Jingrong in front of him, and couldn't help saying angrily: "What is this? Didn't you want to ask the emperor about the marriage today? Why did you take advantage of that bitch?" Woman, have you adopted a adoptive father and adoptive mother? Sister, we can't see our eldest grandson's appearance so arrogant, we have to find a way!"

"What can I do?" Xue Lingruo sneered, and said, "Now Changsun Jingrong has the Empress Dowager backing her, and the prince is still on her side. He has no intention of marrying me. It's just our wishful thinking. Make me a laughing stock!"

Although he said so, Xue Lingruo still didn't believe that Sima Xukong did it because he liked his eldest grandson Jingrong.In her opinion, this eldest grandson's appearance is really ordinary. Apart from being a bit prettier, he has no other strengths. How can he compare to herself?Then why did Sima Xukong refuse to marry him?No, I have to find an opportunity to ask him carefully later!

When the banquet was in full swing, the music of silk and bamboo suddenly changed and became extremely warm and fiery, and then six or seven barefoot women poured in from outside the door. The bell, every movement, makes a crisp bell sound.

Such a unique dance attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared. The enchanting dance posture, exotic style, and the woman's seductive eyes all made the men present want to move.

Leaning forward slightly, Emperor Long Rui squinted his eyes, staring at the leading woman with snow-white skin, and that woman approached Emperor Long Rui swayingly as if feeling the invitation from the emperor.Emperor Long Rui couldn't help being fascinated by the unique fragrance exuding from the woman's body. He inhaled it lightly, and stretched out his hand to pull off the woman's veil.

As the veil slipped off, the woman's appearance was revealed in front of everyone, and those who saw her couldn't help feeling emotional, thinking that this woman is really seductive, with a light cat-like shape, and charm and coquettishness at the corners of her eyes and brows.

Han Wanxin, who was sitting next to the emperor, turned pale. She wished she could use her long nails to scratch the face of this bitch!She dared to seduce the emperor in public, and even dressed so revealingly, she had no shame at all!
But Emperor Long Rui enjoyed it, he looked at the dancer girl with both eyes, and beat the time, his face was full of interest.

At the end of the song, the dancer girl stood obediently, bowed to Emperor Long Rui, and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Emperor Long Rui called the woman who was about to leave, pointed to the one in the lead and asked, "What's your name?"

With a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, the woman bowed and said, "Slave Carol."

"Carol... are you a foreign girl?"

"Exactly."

"Judging from your accent, I really can't hear it at all."

Grand Master Fang saw that the emperor was already bewitched by this woman, so he stood up and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, these dancers are selected by the most famous dancers in Fanbang, and everyone has superb dancing skills. Especially this This Carol is very famous in Long Rui. I know that the emperor likes to appreciate dancing, so I tried my best to find these girls and present them to the emperor. I wonder if the emperor likes it?"

Fanbang girl, Carol, huh, so this is the famous "Change of Xuan Wu"!

The eldest grandson Jingrong secretly sneered, thinking that Taishi Fang didn't even know who this woman was, and happily presented it to the emperor, his good days are coming to an end soon!
Sitting beside Mrs. Sun, Changsun Jingrong's vision also noticed a change. The moment he lowered his eyes, he saw Xu Shikang who had been silent all this time.This man always gave the eldest grandson Jingrong a strange feeling.Xu Shikang always has a detached expression, as if looking at everyone from a commanding height, grasping all the dynamic developments.This situation is very strange, and Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but want to explore further.

When the eldest grandson Jingrong was contemplating, the emperor had left Carol behind, and was still sitting beside him, completely ignoring Han Wanxin who was at the side.As usual, it would be fine for the emperor to favor some concubines, but now to express his friendship to a foreign woman in front of her, it is simply a humiliation to her!At that moment, Han Wanxin excused herself from being unwell, got up and left in shame and anger.

The empress dowager also knew that the emperor was just resisting her own efforts to help the elder grandson Jingrong. Seeing Han Wanxin leave sadly and angry, her heart was filled with anger. After sitting for a while, she also looked for Made an excuse to leave.

The two women with the highest status in the entire Longrui Dynasty left, and a Fanbang dancer was seated on top of the crowd instead. This really made people look at each other in dismay. Except for Fang Taishi who secretly laughed, everyone else felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, amidst the embarrassment, fireworks started to be set off outside, and many people went out to watch the excitement, and the embarrassing atmosphere was diluted by walking back and forth.

After asking Mrs. Sun beside her for instructions, Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong went out to breathe.Taking a deep breath of the icy air, Changsun Jingrong's cheeks, which were slightly drunk from drinking, gradually returned to normal color.

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's eyes that were about to sparkle, Sima Xukong suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "If it weren't for the crowds here, I would really like to kiss you!"

Turning a blind eye to Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said: "My lord really doesn't think about 'serious things' all the time!"

"Of course, it's serious to be able to make my wife happy!"

Seeing Sima Xukong's serious look, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but smile, and against the backdrop of the fireworks, Sima Xukong's already handsome cheeks were even more colorful.

And just when the two people's affection was gradually rising, a young eunuch ran to Sima Xukong's side, bowed and said, "Ninth Prince, General Xue, please go over there and have a talk."

Having been disturbed, Sima Xukong looked very unhappy, and then half-hugged his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said: "Let's go, go and see what General Xue wants to say to us."

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly said, "My lord, the general only invited you."

These words made Sima Xukong raise his arms, and he was about to reprimand him immediately, but he was stopped by the people around him.

Stretching out his hand to cover Sima Xukong's wrist, Changsun Jingrong said softly: "My lord, you'd better go there, otherwise you don't know what will happen. I won't get in the way by waiting here for a while. "

"But I don't feel relieved to let you wait here by yourself," Sima Xukong summoned a court lady casually, and arranged, "You stay here with the princess. If the king doesn't see the princess here when I come back later, I'll leave you alone." Punish your sin!"

The maid flinched, and opened her lips to say something, but when she saw Sima Xukong's fierce gaze, she swallowed it back.

After Sima Xukong left, Changsun Jingrong stood alone in the snow quietly admiring the fireworks, and after a while, an aunt hurried over, first greeted Changsun Jingrong, and then grabbed the maidservant to reprimand her. Said: "Why are you being lazy here? Go and serve the fruit!"

"Auntie, I..."

"What are you, you delayed the business, be careful that Aunt Chang punishes you!"

Seeing that the little palace maid was really pitiful, Changsun Jingrong said, "Forget it, go do your work first, it's fine if I stand alone for a while."

"But the prince said to let the slaves accompany you."

"He went to talk about things, and he won't come back for a while. Maybe he didn't come back after you finished your work. Go quickly, Aunt Chang is amazing!"

The servant girl smiled gratefully when she saw Changsun Jingrong's easy-going manner, and hurried away after saluting.

The surroundings finally quieted down, Changsun Jingrong shook his head, enjoying the rare silence.

With the cold wind blowing on his cheeks, Changsun Jingrong became more awake, and watching the fireworks for a long time was a bit boring, so he casually wandered around in the imperial garden.

Walking casually to a pine and cypress, a group of unusually gorgeous and dazzling fireworks suddenly rose in the sky, illuminating the night sky brightly, causing the eldest grandson Jingrong to look up, and the color of the fireworks was still printed in his pupils.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled into an arc, Changsun Jingrong lowered his eyes, turned around and continued walking.But when Changsun Jingrong turned around, she saw Xu Zizheng standing in front of her.

Changsun Jingrong was stunned for a moment, because he didn't want to cause trouble, he just nodded and smiled, then staggered and walked past Xu Zizheng.

"Jing Rong, you have to be careful of Xue Lingruo!"

The footsteps stopped, and Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Why does everyone want me to be careful of Xue Lingruo, do I have a face waiting for someone to assassinate me? Don't worry, I am a person who will take revenge and will not give anyone a chance It hurt me. Thank you Master Xu for letting me know."

"Don't think that Xue Lingruo is as innocent as she appears on the surface, but she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal!" Xu Zizheng moved closer again, looking at his eldest grandson Jingrong with reddish eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew the alcohol smell from Xu Zizheng's body into Changsun Jingrong's nose, making her frown, thinking to herself that this guy really drank a lot.In Changsun Jingrong's impression, Xu Zizheng would never get drunk, his reason would never allow him to do these things, so what happened on such an important occasion today?

Looking sideways at Xu Zizheng who was full of eagerness, Changsun Jingrong said indifferently: "Master Xu, does he know what's going on?"

"There is no inside story, I only know that she and her father are planning a big event. If it succeeds at that time, it is likely to shake the country!" A few steps before posting, Xu Zizheng said eagerly, "Jingrong, you are not her opponent, I advise you to leave Sima Xukong!"

The eldest grandson Jingrong seemed to be looking at a monster, and said: "Master Xu must have drunk too much, why did I leave my husband? We love each other very much, is it because of one of your rumors that we have to separate? It's so funny!"

"This is not a rumor, it will come true in a short time!" Xu Zizheng held the hand of his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said with a little excitement, "Jingrong, come to me, I will protect you too, I will protect you." I will also love you and let you be the happiest woman! In the past, I didn’t dare to compete with Sima Xukong, because he was a prince, and I was just a poor boy. But it’s different now, and soon he will become everyone I will be the most noble person in the world! I will treat you well and give you the best things in the world. Will you come by my side!?"

"Xu Zizheng, are you crazy!" Changsun Jingrong hurriedly looked at the two sides, relieved a little after seeing no one, and said angrily, "Do you know that what you just said can be cut ten times?" My head is gone! Go crazy and go crazy, don't implicate me!"

"But what I said is true, you have to believe me!" Sima Xukong held his eldest grandson Jingrong tightly, greedily feeling the temperature of her body, his eyes were red, like a wild wolf that has been estimated for a long time .

Changsun Jingrong had never seen Xu Zizheng so gawkish, which made her a little confused, but also a little uneasy. After turning her eyes around, she asked in a somewhat coaxing tone: "What did you just say?" What do you mean, who is the traitor, who is the most honorable person in the world? You don't want to say some deceitful words in order to get me!"

"I didn't lie to you. What I said is true. The Xue family has been studying the matter of instigating rebellion these years, with the intention of not planning! And the reason why they took a fancy to Sima Xukong was to control him as a chess piece. Replacing Emperor Long Rui! As for..." Xu Zizheng stopped suddenly when he was on the verge of speaking, and he stared blankly at Changsun Jingrong, like a ridiculous doll.

"As for what?" Changsun Jingrong's voice was full of charm, she narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said, "Actually, the Xue family is definitely not the only one who wants to plot against the emperor, I think you also participated in a certain link, right? No one is clean, so don't pretend to be a saint to bluff! Your voice just now was not low, you'd better see if there is anyone around, and listen to what you just said! Master Xu, go down It's better not to drink more this time, your drinking capacity is really not flattering!"

Turning around hurriedly and looking around, Xu Zizheng's alcoholic energy was mostly sober, and when he turned around, Changsun Jingrong had disappeared.Clenching his fists slowly, Xu Zizheng said in a hoarse voice: "Changsun Jingrong, you will know sooner or later that the only way to choose me is the most correct!"

The eldest grandson Jingrong, who dodged to hide under a cold pine tree, was short of breath. After Xu Zizheng walked away slowly, he closed his eyes and slowly fell to the ground, feeling as if a huge wave was churning in his heart.

Only now did Changsun Jingrong understand that the totem on the handkerchief was the proof of Xu Zizheng's identity!He... should be the Royal Jewel!But Xu Shikang found Xu Zizheng and told him about the matter.What are these two trying to do now, conspiring against each other?This Long Rui's world is about to change!As for Xu Zizheng at that time, did he already know his true identity, which is why his personality changed drastically?Then he wants his own property, but also for the sake of business?Xu Zizheng, how many secrets do you have...

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Jingrong stood up slowly, helped Leng Song and slowly walked out of this small forest.The fireworks outside were not over yet, and people were still immersed in the lively atmosphere. Everyone looked up at the gorgeous scenery in the sky, and few people noticed the change in the eldest grandson's appearance.

Just as the eldest grandson Jingrong was walking in a daze, a big hand suddenly grabbed her slender wrist, pulled it to his body, and asked eagerly: "Jingrong, where did you go just now? It hurts me so much." Find!"

Slowly raising his gaze, Changsun Jingrong stared blankly at Sima Xukong, then stretched out his hand to grab his loose sleeve, and said softly, "Let's go home, shall we?"

Sima Xukong was stunned for a moment, looked deeply at Changsun Jingrong, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Stretching out his hand to tightly hold Changsun Jingrong's soft pancreas, Sima Xukong could feel her coldness. Although he really wanted to know what happened just now, but looking at the woman beside him, he knew that now was not a good time to ask.As for the grandson Jingrong who was following behind Sima Xukong, his agitated heart gradually calmed down.She had an illusion that if she followed this man, she would be able to enjoy peace, and no matter how heavy the wind and rain were, he would cover herself.

The scenery around him slowly changed, and Changsun Jingrong noticed that Sima Xukong was leading him out of the palace, so he couldn't help but hold his hand tightly and asked, "Aren't we going back to the banquet hall?"

"The banquet is almost over, and it's meaningless to go back. And you need to rest now, and it's really sad to make false promises with those guys."

Sima Xukong's voice was very soft, as if he was worried about disturbing his eldest grandson Jingrong, which warmed her heart.Looking down at the intersecting wrists of the two, Changsun Jingrong said slowly: "But we can't just leave without saying a word. No matter what happens, we must inform Mrs. Sun and Jin Guoan."

Looking sideways at his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong asked: "Jingrong, to be honest, do you want to be under Duke Jin's sect?"

"This matter is beneficial to me, why should I refuse? It's just that it will be more troublesome to move around in the future, and I need to prepare a lot of things." Changsun Jingrong said, thinking in his mind that he would prepare things for a visit in the next year.

Patting Changsun Jingrong's little head, Sima Xukong said with a smile: "You really have a lot of things to think about all day, I said, can't you spare a little space to think about me? As for Duke Jin Over there, I'll go to ask for instructions for you, you should get on the carriage first. Your face is as white as paper now, don't scare Duke Jin and his wife again."

Touching his cheek with his fingers, Changsun Jingrong murmured: "It seems that I really need to take a good rest."

"Yeah, when you get back home, I'll ask Bihe to prepare hot water. After you take a bath, you can rest as soon as possible." After Sima Xukong finished speaking, he helped his eldest grandson Jingrong into the carriage in front of him, and put the hand warmer on the carriage Stuffed it into Changsun Jingrong's hand, and said, "Just wait for me here, and I will go to Jin Guogong and his wife to say goodbye."

As soon as Sima Xukong turned around, he felt his wrist tighten. He looked down and saw Changsun Jingrong holding his wrist, with sparkles in his eyes.

"Sima Xukong, can you do something for me?"
