The two looked at each other, neither of them expected such a cold reaction from him.
One of the charming girls in a peach-pink blouse curved her lips and smiled softly, and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, the Empress ordered my sisters to serve you. My name is Liu Jiang, and her name is Ye Mei. She is the dancer trained by the Empress Qiu, who is next to the Empress..."
After speaking, Zhao Jie did not see any reaction.
Liu Jiang boldly raised her eyes to look at him, the candlelight in the room was dim, barely able to see his outline clearly. I saw him with a handsome side face, low eyebrows, and a pair of dark and deep eyes without any emotion, but easily fascinated and addicted. Looking down, he has broad shoulders, strong arms, and two long legs right in front of her eyes... If she can be loved by such a man, she doesn't know what kind of happiness it would be, even if it's only for one night, she would be willing.
Before Liu Jiang could look away, she heard a cold and cruel question from above her head: "Have you seen enough?"
She froze suddenly, and quickly bowed down to admit her mistake: "Your Highness, forgive me, Liu Jiang is rude..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Jie interrupted her expressionlessly, "Go out. No matter who sent you here, you can go back wherever you came from."
Liu Jiang's face turned pale, and she asked anxiously: "But Liu Jiang made His Highness unhappy? If His Highness is dissatisfied, please punish Liu Jiang..."
Seeing that Zhao Jie's expression became colder, Ye Mei who was on the side stopped Liu Jiang's words, forced a smile and explained: "Your Highness calm down, Liu Jiang has a straightforward temperament, if there is something that angers His Highness, please be generous and don't talk to her." General knowledge..." After a pause, he said earnestly: "The Empress ordered us to serve His Highness, if His Highness sends us back on the first day, the Empress will definitely think that we are not serving well and will punish us severely..."
Zhao Jie's sleepiness was disturbed by the two of them, and he felt a little irritable. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you have to do with me?"
Ye Mei's words froze, she raised her head and looked at him in surprise, she probably didn't expect him to be such a cold person.
Zhao Jie was not in the mood to deal with them, so he called Zhu Geng, and asked hesitantly: "Who brought the two of them into the mansion, and who arranged them into the king's room?"
Zhu Geng looked at the two pale girls on the ground, leaned over and clasped his fists and said, "Go back to your lord, it's Lu Shengping, the chief steward of the palace."
There are two stewards in Prince Jing's mansion, one is chief steward Lu Shengping, and the other is second steward Xu Tianning. Lu Shengping is a person who knows how to deal with affairs, he handles affairs steadily, and has a sweet mouth. He has been in the position of chief executive for three years steadily. Letting these two girls in today, I thought it would please Zhao Jie, but I didn't expect that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg, not only did not make Zhao Jie happy, but touched his reverse scale.
Zhao Jie frowned and said: "Make up your own mind, fine half a year's money, and drive you out of the palace."
Zhu Geng nodded yes.
Liu Jiang and Ye Mei were even more terrified when they heard the words, and they even wanted to punish the manager. It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really unhappy... Then what will they do? Is it possible to really rush back to the palace
Sure enough, Zhao Jie looked at them, supported his chin with his hands, and said with thin lips: "As for you... do you want to leave by yourself, or does this king drive you away?"
The two looked at each other, but knelt down and kowtowed with keen eyesight, and then said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness... Let's leave by ourselves."
Immediately, the two walked out of the main room with support, not daring to miss him even the slightest bit.
Zhu Geng followed closely, and the room was finally cleared up, but Zhao Jie didn't feel sleepy anymore.
He lay on his back on the gold-embroidered pillow, with one hand behind his head and the other on his stomach. In the darkness, his pair of phoenix eyes were particularly dark and deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He slowly closed his eyes, only to feel that he was in a cold stream, the water flowed past him gently and softly, the touch was wet and slippery, like a girl's soft hand.
The scene changed, and he was lying on Wu Jiang's vast grassland again, behind him was the battlefield of gold and iron horses, the sound of fighting and fighting on the battlefield could be heard clearly, and he could even smell the smell of fresh blood in his breath. However, sitting on his body was a delicate and pretty little girl with a delicate face and icy muscles. A pair of soft, boneless hands rested on his chest, constantly tugging at his heartstrings.
Zhao Jie's breathing became heavier, and the war and the girl stimulated his hidden blood. He held the girl's slender waist with fiery hands, and pressed down hard, wishing to crush her into pieces in his arms. The little girl let out a coquettish cry, leaned over and fell on top of him, wrapped her hands around his neck, and put her hands next to his ears coquettishly: "Big brother, I hurt..."
Zhao Jie opened his eyes abruptly, seeing darkness in front of him.
It was still dark, the night outside the window was thick, and the night was silent, only the sound of his breathing became heavier and heavier.
The last coquettish voice lingered in his ears and could not dissipate for a long time. His palms were down, while thinking about the delicate face of the little girl, he continued the movement in the dream just now.
He longed for her so much that he even dreamed of her.
The curtains were drooped, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside, let alone hear any sound. After about a cup of tea, he read in a hoarse voice: "Ah Luo..."
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Jie got up to wash, his face was fine, no different from usual.
After eating breakfast, within a short time, he really received an order from Empress Chen, ordering him to enter the palace immediately.
He changed into a dark blue slub-patterned uniform, and instead of riding a horse, he entered the palace in Wang Qinggai's chariot. Arriving at the entrance of Zhaoyang Hall, one can feel the gloomy atmosphere inside before walking in. He bent his lips, walked into the inner hall, and saw Empress Chen sitting on the arhat bed made of sour branch wood, drinking tea with a blank expression.
Seeing him coming in, Empress Chen put down the small clock with a lotus pattern on it, looked at him calmly, "Sit down."
Zhao Jie took off his cloak and sat opposite her.
She asked the palace maid to take out the things, and after a while, the kang table was covered with longevity locks, silver waist ornaments, necklaces with the word "Fu", etc... She deliberately asked Zhao Jie: "Duke Ding, the younger brother of the Duke of Zhen, was just married last month. Hugging the grandson, the child will be full moon in two days, and Ben Gong is thinking about giving the child as a meeting gift. Can you choose for me and see which one is better?"
The meaning of these words could not be more obvious. Duke Ding's son reached the crown this year, and now he already has a son. He is twenty-two this year, but he doesn't even have a wife. Can people worry
Zhao Jie smiled, and said bluntly: "The queen mother can say whatever she wants."
Empress Chen glared at him, holding a colorful teacup and straight to the point: "The two girls I sent you yesterday, what are you dissatisfied with? Why did you drive them all out?"
He knew it was because of this, and raised his head to meet Empress Chen's questioning eyes: "The queen mother didn't ask my opinion, so she gave me two women on her own initiative. In your heart, is Erchen the kind of person who can't choose what to eat?"
Empress Chen was slapped upside down by him, suffocated, and her tone was not as strong as before, "When did I have such a meaning? Didn't you think of such a method because you were anxious because you didn't have a woman by your side?"
The key was released in the palace yesterday, Liu Jiang and Ye Mei stood outside in thin clothes all night, and when they returned to the palace in the morning, they were already shivering from the cold. They were afraid that Empress Chen would punish them, so they didn't go back to the house. They knelt and kowtowed at the gate of Zhaoyang Hall early in the morning to beg for mercy.
What is he thinking? Are you interested in women
Seeing that he was silent, Empress Chen couldn't help but said again anxiously: "You are not young anymore, and if you don't get married again, how long are you going to delay? Danyang has been waiting for you for five or six years, and he is forced to wait for you to become an old girl. Don't you Worry, Duke Zhen and your aunt are very anxious, what do you think? What are you not satisfied with Danyang?"
Zhao Jie said calmly: "I treat her like a brother and sister, not love."
Empress Chen has never seen such a stubborn person like him. What happened to the relationship between brother and sister
She tried to persuade him, but said the same thing too many times, she didn't bother him, he was already tired of hearing it. Zhao Jie frowned, and changed the subject: "What is Liuli doing recently? I haven't seen her for a long time."
"She has been in Chenhua Palace recently, and she seems to be calmer than before, and she hasn't left the palace anymore." Empress Chen replied casually, never forgetting the topic just now, and continued: "The day after tomorrow is the grandson of Duke Ding. At the full moon banquet, you gave the present for the queen mother. When you see Danyang, talk to her more, I heard that she is not in a good mood these days."
Ding Guogong is the cousin of Zhen Guogong, and the two families have a close relationship. Gao Danyang will definitely go there.
Zhao Jie subconsciously refused, he was not good at dealing with such situations. Empress Chen saw through his thoughts early in the morning, and said first, "If you don't go, you will not be allowed to step into Zhaoyang Palace again."
He couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "The queen mother threatens me with this?"
Empress Chen said yes, admitting quite frankly.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing, weighed the unicorn gift silver long life lock on the table, his thumb slowly passed the lines on it, nodded half-sounded and said: "Okay, I'll go."
The British government also received an invitation from the Dingguo government.
The Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo have a good relationship with each other, and they have deep feelings. It is said that they appreciated each other and were confidants when they were young. Now that Ding Guogong is holding his grandson, the British Duke is going to celebrate. In addition to Wei Changchun, the British prince, the second and fourth families and the fifth family members will also go, but the third house Liu's excuse is that he is not feeling well, so he postpones it.
Everyone knew well that Liu's natal family was in trouble, unable to make ends meet. Most of the rest of her dowry was taken back to subsidize her natal family, and now she can't even give a decent full moon gift, so she naturally refuses to be ashamed in the past.
Early in the morning of the next day, Wei Kun packed up and took his son and two daughters to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
At the same time, Ruyang Palace.
King Ruyang and Princess Gaoyang were also invited, and they prepared the full moon ceremony early, and when they were about to leave, they heard that the eldest son had returned. Li Song has been hanging out outside for the past two days, not returning home at night, and did not return home for two whole days and two nights. King Ruyang ordered people to look for him twice, but he got drunk and drove all the people of King Ruyang back.
King Ruyang was furious and threatened to ignore him in the future. Now that he's back by himself, it's surprising.
Princess Gaoyang was worried about her son, so she asked Li Xiang to go and have a look: "Xiang'er, go and see how your brother is doing? If he is awake, let him go out with us."
Li Xiang brushed off Yingluo's eight-treasure-patterned knee, stood up and agreed.
She walked out of the front hall and into the back yard. Walking through a long path, she came to Li Song's yard. She stood at the door and called "Brother" a few times, but she didn't get the slightest response. She had no choice but to open the door and walk into the inner room. A pungent smell of wine came over her face. She couldn't help but took out a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and called out in a low voice, "Brother, are you there?"
The curtain on the canopy bed moved, and she stepped forward to lift the curtain, only to see a person lying on it. But in just two days, Li Song seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and blue stubble grew on his chin, making him a completely different person from the handsome and energetic young man he used to be. Li Xiang was quite surprised, and quickly shook him awake: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You wake up, your parents said they will take you to Dingguo's mansion, so don't sleep."
Li Song frowned, and finally opened his eyes slowly. Those eyes were dark and chaotic, and there was a moment of confusion, then the eyeballs rolled around and fell on Li Xiang's anxious face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Xiang?"
Li Xiang nodded: "It's me. Brother, why did you become like this?"
He only felt a headache for a while. He drank too much alcohol these two days, and his mind was not so clear. He supported his head and sat up slowly, frowned and asked, "I'm in a bad mood, I drank some wine." He remembered how anxious she was just now, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiang had no choice but to repeat what he said just now: "Duke Ding's grandson is full moon today, and invited his father and mother to attend the full moon banquet at the mansion. Since you are back, why don't you come with us?"
He fell back on the bed and refused, "Go, I'll sleep for a while."
He just came back at Yinshi today, and he was woken up by her not long after lying down, his head hurts so much that he really wasn't in the mood to go out.
But Li Xiang's next sentence made his mind clear up: "What are you sleeping on? I heard that the British government will also go. Last time Wei Changhong was injured on the hunting ground. If you don't go, it's not right. Does it appear that we are guilty?" After saying that, he tugged at him, "Brother, go quickly."
He opened his eyes and froze.
