Rong Ting paused, and slightly raised his eyes.
From his angle, he could see her smiling face and her sunny eyelashes. When the breeze blew, the dimples on both sides of her sunken, and her smile looked very soft, sweet, innocent and childish.
This smile showed that what she said just now was very true, without any falsehood.
Rong Ting suppressed his irritability, and then laughed, even though the smile was very faint, but matched with his pretty face, it was still a bit coquettish, like a silent temptation. He lowered his voice, "It's fine if you're happy."
He was really greedy.
He wanted her to focus entirely on him, and also wanted to see the smile on her face.
That being the case, there is nothing wrong with asking Hu Tang to accompany her.
But it can't be too long.
"But I heard that Mrs. Hu is having a headache about her marriage, isn't she?"
This time, Jiang Rao was taken aback.
She was thinking about Rong Ting's words just now, and suddenly felt that she hadn't thought carefully.
Hu Tang came to look for her every day, as if he had nothing to do.
But her elder sister, Hu Li, made a marriage agreement last month, and promised to the second son of Zhang Yushi's family.
Hu Tang is more self-willed than Hu Li, and he refuses to listen to Mrs. Hu's arrangements, so the marriage is still uncertain.
She had heard Hutang mention in private that she had thought about what kind of person her husband would be in the future. He would be as tall and strong as her father stationed in Saibei, with backbone and responsibility, and he would not detain her in the back house and make her lose free.
But Hu Tang said so, she didn't see that she was interested in the young master of Jinling, she was still obsessed with swords and war books every day, and she wanted to go to Mobei where her father stayed.
Jiang Rao has always been lazy in prying into other people's private affairs, but she cares more about the people she cares about.
She sighed, and her smile faded.
"Even if I'm resting and taking a bath, there will be more or less time after I leave the office. If you want someone to accompany you to the opera in the Liyuan, you should make an agreement with me early on."
Jiang Rao suddenly looked up at Rong Ting.
Guangliyuan? How did he know that she had gone to Guangliyuan
Rong Ting looked at her eyes that could reveal her thoughts, "A colleague saw you in Guangliyuan."
Jiang Rao didn't doubt it, but she bit her lower lip, "I went to Guangliyuan to get close to two people?"
Rong Ting's expression changed slightly, "Who?"
"Princess Xiang and her daughter Xie Xi."
Not interested in other men.
The irritability in Rong Ting's heart subsided, he asked unhurriedly, "What do you want to know?"
Jiang Rao never likes to think about those convoluted things in front of familiar people, she simply is frank and direct, "I want to take a sneak peek, find out their tricks, and play tricks on them..."
"They can't just be allowed to bully us." She blinked, "We are not allowed to bully him."
us.
Not "you".
This slight change made Rong Ting's fingers tremble slightly.
But after he watched Jiang Rao mutter and mutter, her gaze was attracted by the little novice who was sweeping the floor outside, and he smiled bitterly.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener does.
He spoke softly behind her, and brought the little girl's gaze back to him, "Princess Xiang has been out of favor for many years, so she often goes to Liyuan to listen to operas to relieve boredom."
Jiang Rao turned around.
Then, what Chen Congyun told her may be true.
But even if she knew this, it was still difficult to find out anything from Princess Xiang and Xie Xi. Jiang Rao gradually realized what Concubine Yun Gui said to her that the Xu family was difficult to deal with. Caution seemed to be written in the Xu family something in the bones.
She went to Guangli Garden a few times, and negotiated with the owner of the Liyuan to give her a seat that would not be easily discovered by others, secretly watching Princess Xiang and Xie Xi who came to listen to the music.
They never talked to people, and even when the opera on the stage sang wonderful passages, their faces were still numb.
It seems that they are afraid of being seen through their thoughts.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was summer.
In summer, Jiang Rao is prone to sleepiness, and Jiang Rao cools off in the gazebo. This is the season when she is most likely to doze off. Listening to the sound of cicadas, hiding in the shade under the gazebo, soon her eyelids seem to be fighting.
I was awakened by a "buzzing" sound close to my ear.
Jiang Rao leaned on the stone table and moved uncomfortably, but the annoying voice never stopped. She opened her eyes strangely, and was even startled when she saw the mud spots moving on the table.
When I took a closer look, it was a blue dragonfly, its wings were covered with mud, and it was struggling to move its heavy wings on the stone table, spinning around on the table.
Jiang Rao looked at the little boy who was squatting by the table, his eyes were at the same level as the edge of the table, and he was covering the table with his hands to keep the dragonfly from falling, and suddenly felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
Jiang Jinxing rested and took a bath in the academy today. It was rare to have the time to play with things and lose his mind. He had a great time playing. When he caught the dragonfly, he didn't pay much attention to his elder sister, and his eyes were still entwined with the dragonfly.
"Sister slept too much." He said, "Just now my mother came to you and told you to follow her to check the dowry. You fell asleep, but she didn't wake you up."
Jiang Rao's dazed eyes instantly woke up.
She didn't know how the days passed.
Obviously yesterday I felt that the divorce period was still far away.
In a blink of an eye, there are only less than two months left.
Dazhao has always had a tradition that unmarried couples are not allowed to meet each other three months before their wedding, and she has not seen Rong Ting for more than a month.
"In two days, there will be a palace banquet. Elder Sister, don't forget. Sister Tang wrote an invitation to enter the palace with you." Jiang Jinxing said while teasing Dragonfly.
When Jiang Rao wanted to get up, she felt a little heavy on her body. Shen Mou glanced at her shoulders with a thin blanket, and Jiang Rao stretched out her hands to gather them together, "Is this covered by my mother?"
Jiang Jinxing held down the dragonfly with his hand, then looked up at Jiang Rao, pouted with some dissatisfaction, "It's me."
Jiang Rao was surprised.
It was the first time she had this honor to be taken care of by the little guy.
She smiled and asked, "Who taught you to do this?"
Having said that, she was waiting for the little guy to say that no one taught him. Then praise him a few words, so that he will do this kind of thing more in the future.
"Someone taught me."
Jiang Rao froze for a moment, but still smiled as before.
Even though her younger brother put a blanket on her after hearing someone else's words, she was still happy in her heart, "Who is that?"
"Father or mother?" She guessed.
Jiang Jinxing shook his head, but didn't say who it was.
He just glanced at her like a little adult, and said firmly: "If you are sick, you will not be able to marry."
"..."
This tone, as if wishing she could get married
Jiang Rao coughed.
She got up and left the gazebo, but at night, she asked Taro to inquire about it with the servant who served Jiang Jinxing.
"Who has the young master met recently?"
Fearing that someone would spoil his younger brother, Jiang Rao would send a maid from time to time to ask Jiang Jinxing's servants a few words, to see who Jiang Jinxing had met.
The servant was a little hesitant, thinking that Rong Ting, who they often meet in the academy recently, is not a new person, didn't he meet them often before? It's just that it's just a coincidence that I have encountered more times recently. It seemed that there was no need to report it specifically, he shook his head towards Taro.
…
When going to the palace banquet, Jiang Rao and Hu Tang rode in the same carriage, and the people on the street were hurrying, all heading east, as if something had happened there.
Hu Tang couldn't sit still, and wanted to go east. Seeing her like this, Jiang Rao stopped the carriage, sent Ming Shao out, and stopped a passerby to inquire.
When Ming Shao came back, his face was pale and his eyes showed fear, "It's Liu Qi, who was executed at Caishikou..."
"Liu Qi? Liu Shangshu?"
Hu Tang looked like he didn't know what happened.
Mrs. Hu watched the marriage for her, but Hu Tang not only refused, but also wanted to sneak out of Beijing to find his father in Saibei, but was locked up by Mrs. Hu for three months, without knowing anything about what happened outside.
Jiang Rao explained to her, "He corrupted too much silver and was sentenced to death by the emperor."
Liu Qi is Minister of the Ministry of War.
Besides him, many officials from the six ministries were investigated.
Chen Bing was one of them. He had a close relationship with Liu Qi, but his crimes were not as serious as Liu Qi's, and he was demoted to central Hunan.
Chen Congyun got her wish in the spring and was promised to the third prince, but she was not implicated by her father.
Jiang Rao was in the back house, so it was difficult to have the opportunity to know about the affairs of the officialdom. All these turmoil could be heard in her ears, and Jiang Rao vaguely felt the turmoil in the situation.
After hearing the news of Chen Bing's downfall, she felt relieved, thinking that God was on her side.
When the same news reached the ears of Empress Jiahe, an uncontrollable anger appeared on her face.
Nearly half of Zhang Qi, Chen Bing, and other officials investigated in the past six months have inseparable ties to her father and the Xu family.
It's all that crippled handwriting!
Without even showing his face, he asked the little son of the Liao family who looked like a waste to help him, and gradually eradicated the dissidents in the court. At this level, she began to feel that her foundation was shaken, and she was worried about all these years. The plan fell short.
It's all after Rong Ting's engagement.
She hadn't decided what "gift" to give him, but he kept silent and gave her a big one first!
Empress Jiahe gritted her teeth.
She shouldn't listen to Shen Xiuying's words easily, just because she was right about Emperor Zhaowu's sudden illness, she really thought that she had opened her eyes and could easily know what would happen in the future. Become the Ning'anbo Mansion supported by Rong Ting.
Now that Ning An Bo's mansion has not collapsed, Rong Ting's foundation has been stabilized instead.
When she thought of Shen Xiuying, she looked disgusted. It took her a lot of money to pry her mouth open. She thought she could seek benefits and avoid disasters, but unexpectedly it made her own situation even more difficult.
Even though Shen Xiuying was dead, she still hated her so much.
As for the Ning Anbo Mansion and Rong Ting...
Really wait until the day her son ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, these people will be prisoners sooner or later.
The corner of her mouth was pursed and her eyes turned cold.
The palace maid who was combing her hair looked at the hostile face in the mirror, stopped her movements in fright, and knelt down, "Slave, slave didn't mean it, the empress spared the slave."
Empress Jiahe glanced at her. She was in a bad mood, seeing everything was in the way, so another maid combed her hair.
Stacking beads and emeralds, wearing a phoenix hairpin, suddenly heard someone behind her call her "mother queen".
Empress Jiahe caught a glimpse of the Seventeenth Prince's joyful smile from the mirror, and her face sank, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"I heard that there is a flower viewing banquet in the palace, I..."
The Seventeenth Prince looked at Jia and Empress' increasingly gloomy faces, and suddenly murmured, not daring to speak any more.
Empress Jiahe scolded him, "You can't come back until I send someone to call you back."
The seventeenth prince lowered his head and was unhappy.
His cowardly appearance made Empress Jiahe frowned even more, "If you don't live up to it, how can this palace follow you in everything like it is now when you divide the mansion? What should you do then? Is good?"
At this time, a court lady served tea.
"Mistress, calm down."
The ordinary-looking court lady bowed and poured tea for Empress Jiahe. When she put down the teacup, there was a letter under the steaming steam.
