Shen Jingci was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the shopkeeper in the face, scolding angrily, "Useless thing, is this what you do? If someone comes to destroy the shop, don't you know to stop them!"
The shopkeeper was also extremely aggrieved. He knelt down and said, "Master, that person is the princess of the Dashi Kingdom. The slaves really don't dare to stop him!"
Shen Jingci said angrily, "Bah, so what about the princess of Dashi Kingdom? Do you think Prince Qi's palace is afraid of her?"
The shopkeeper secretly thought, you are not afraid, but if we slaves dare to stop us, you will be beaten to death on the spot and you will not stand up for us!
But she only dared to say this in her heart, but she said with aggrieved face, "Princess, the servants stopped me, but the princess was particularly arrogant, saying, 'You are just a concubine, but you dare to bully others, she Just to let you know how powerful she is, it’s really outrageous!”
Now that the shop is like this, the shopkeeper also knows in his heart that if his master does not let his master put all the blame on the princess, he will be the one who suffers later!
Shen Jingci was furious at these words, and the coldness in her eyes became more and more obvious.
Shi Mo carefully supported her. Seeing that Shen Jingci didn't speak, he quickly ordered, "What are you still doing? Why don't you pack your things quickly so that others can laugh at you?"
After Shi Mo spoke, the trembling boys quickly began to work.
Seeing that Shen Jingci had no objection, Shi Mo helped her go upstairs.
The private room on the second floor blocked out the sounds outside and became quiet. Shen Jingci took a breath and said in a cold voice, "What do you think?"
Shi Mo was stunned for a moment, then turned to whisper, "Master, I dare you to say something. I'm afraid it's a lie that there's something wrong with this powder. It's true that the princess from the Dashi Kingdom wants to show off to you."
She said this tactfully, but Shen Jingci immediately understood.
If Murong Wan didn't have any thoughts about Xiao Junhan and wanted to take over Prince Qi's palace, how could he target her for no reason? It seems that Murong Wan is no longer prepared to hide her thoughts!
As she thought about it, Shen Jingci's eyes became colder and colder, "Is it so easy to enter Prince Qi's Mansion? Murong Wan, let's wait and see!"
That afternoon, rumors began to spread. It is said that the princess of the Dashi Kingdom did anything to marry into the palace of Prince Qi, and even smashed the store opened by Prince Qi's favorite concubine.
The place where these words broke out was near the inn, and Murong Wan naturally heard the truth from the maid's mouth.
After hearing what the maid reported, she was so angry that she threw the spoon in her hand into the bowl and cursed, "Confusing right and wrong! It was obviously her makeup that had a problem, but it ended up on my head instead! You really thought I was Is it easy to bully!"
This maid's name was Liu Ying, and her mouth was as provocative as Yingge's. She immediately followed up and said, "Princess, you don't know, it's spread all over the street right now, and it's hard to hear what you said. What you said is so serious. Why is the concubine so shameless? She was obviously jealous of you and put something in your makeup, which almost caused your disfigurement. But when it came out of her mouth, it was like the princess’s fault!"
As she said this, she said angrily, "Besides, even if we were to pursue the case, it was King Qi who bumped into you first. Not to mention that she was a concubine, but she was a main concubine. She couldn't see her husband-in-law with someone else and not ask questions. It’s too much to design someone else’s girl in vain!”
She seemed to be speaking carelessly, but Murong Wan's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Yes, in the final analysis, this matter is still because of King Qi.
Murong Wan was conflicted in her heart. It was not that she couldn't feel King Qi's overtures, but after King Qi and Shen Jingci did what they did at the night banquet, when she saw King Qi again, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
Murong Wan was arrogant and could not stand this kind of man. However, the current King of Qi is not what he used to be. He has become the leader of the ministers. If he can ascend to that position in the future -
She was thinking this in her heart, and couldn't help but speak it out, murmuring, "If King Qi can ascend to Dabao, then..."
Liu Ying stood next to her and heard what she heard. She suddenly slapped her head and said mysteriously, "Princess, actually I heard some news when I went out today, but I was so angry at the time that I forgot about it."
Seeing her like this, Murong Wan immediately asked, "What's the news?"
Liuying leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I heard those scholars say that Emperor Jing wants to make Prince Qi the crown prince!"
As soon as these words came out, they were like thunder exploding in Murong Wan's ears. She grabbed Liu Ying's hand and asked eagerly, "But are you serious?"
Naturally, a King of Qi is not worthy of her status as the Princess of the Great Food Kingdom, but what if he is the future emperor
The king of a country is a perfect match for her!
Seeing the Liuying nodding her head like garlic, Murong Wan suddenly showed a sinister smile, "Go, find out where King Qi is now, let's go and meet him for a while."
Liu Ying's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Slave, go right now!"
After Liu Ying left, Murong Wan picked up the spoon again and slowly poured herself a bowl of porridge.
Shen Jingci, just wait, I will repay you twice as much for the humiliation you gave me today!
The night was as cool as water, and the crescent moon, as curved as a beautiful woman's eyebrow, hung in the sky, adding a bright touch to the dark night.
Xiao Junxi sat in front of the desk, reviewing the memorial with one hand, and placed the other hand on the back of the chair to protect Xie Ruzhuo's head from being hit by the chair.
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's even breathing, Xiao Junxi looked at her sleeping face and smiled fondly, then turned her attention to the memorial again.
This girl, even though she said she wanted to stay with him and burn the midnight oil, she couldn't bear to go to bed first.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Xiao Junxi was about to answer when she saw Xie Ruzhuo raised his head first and asked sleepily, "Ms. sir, what time is it?"
Her sleepy voice was soft and gentle, which made Xiao Junxi's heart skip a beat. He stroked Xie Ruzhuo's hair aside and said softly, "It's almost time to get pregnant. Shall I take you back to your room to rest?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, she heard another knock on the door outside. Only then did she wake up a little and said, "Come in."
The person who came was Zi Xiao. When he saw Xie Ruzhuo, he only saluted and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the prince and princess."
Xiao Junxi nodded and said, "Is there any new progress?"
Ever since he found out that Xie Ruzhuo was also doing this, Zi Xiao did not hide it from Xie Ruzhuo and reported everything, "In the evening, the Princess of Dashi Kingdom stopped King Qi's carriage and went to A courtyard. The two of them waited until the middle of the moon before leaving. According to my subordinates, I think things are done."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was also completely awake. He sat next to Xiao Junxi without saying a word, but the corner of his mouth could not help but evoke a smile.
Xiao Junxi looked at her expression out of the corner of her eye. She was amused in her heart, but she said sternly, "Go ahead and let the rumors out. You must make sure this happens."
"I obey my orders."
After Zixiao finished reporting the matter, he went out consciously and closed the door firmly before leaving.
Xiao Junxi looked at her funny look and asked, "Are you happy now?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't get what I want, as long as I know that Shen Jingci doesn't get what she wants, that's enough." She said this with a smile on her face and a look of joy on her face.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Junxi gently scratched her nose, put the prepared memorial aside, and said, "With a beautiful woman in my arms, it would be a waste to leave it like this."
Then, with Xie Ruzhuo's puzzled expression, he continued, "Madam, it's late at night, let's get settled earlier."
He looked like a handsome young man, so Xie Ruzhuo hit him lightly and said angrily, "Not serious." He just followed him to rest.
On February 10th, Xie Ruzhuo went to the palace to pay his respects as usual.
When she arrived, Xiao Xinning was dining with Concubine Ye Guifei. As soon as he saw her coming, Xiao Xinning came over happily and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the emperor is so slow today, we have almost finished eating."
Xie Ruzhuo first greeted Concubine Ye, and then smiled and said, "It's not the right time to come today. Something happened on Chang'an Road, so I stopped there for a while."
Hearing this, Xiao Xinning immediately asked curiously, "Do you know what it is?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and smiled, "I didn't hear this clearly, but it seems like an envoy from the Food Kingdom came and bumped into a passerby, and was stopped by someone and was not allowed to leave."
When she said this, Concubine Ye's face became a little dark. After a moment of silence, she said, "This envoy from the Big Food Country knows how to choose the right time."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo keenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Concubine, has something happened?"
Concubine Ye sighed, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said, "Yesterday afternoon, the envoy from the Dashi Kingdom came to the palace to meet him, saying that he wanted to propose marriage for their princess. Does Zhuo'er know who he is asking for?"
Xie Ruzhuo felt like a mirror in his heart, but on his face he just didn't know, and asked, "Who is it? It can't be my husband, right?"
As soon as she said this, Xiao Xinning laughed jokingly and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law has a good idea. A princess from another country will not be a concubine. After all, that princess has higher aspirations than her own."
As both princesses, Xiao Xinning has always looked down on Murong Wan. The girl was pretty and spoke nicely, but she was too pretentious. She originally thought that Murong Wan was being hypocritical, but after getting along with Xie Ruzhuo for a long time, she felt more and more.
Concubine Ye gave her an angry look and said, "Stop talking nonsense." Then she looked at Xie Ruzhuo and said, "The envoy from the Dashi Kingdom said that their princess has been in love with King Qi for a long time and wants to be the Princess of Qi."
"It's a good idea."
Xie Ruzhuo snorted, sat in front of Concubine Ye again, and said, "Concubine Mum must have heard the rumors in the capital, I'm afraid this princess is coming with bad intentions."
Rumors abounded in both the government and the public these days, saying that King Qi Xiao Junhan was the future emperor. Although Concubine Ye lives deep in the harem, who can sit in this position who really doesn't know how to use tricks
Not to mention those informants placed everywhere.
Concubine Ye had known this news for a long time, but Emperor Jing had told her what was in her heart. Besides, having been her bed partner for so many years, Concubine Ye also understood Emperor Jing's obsession.
At that time, Xiao Junxi could not be crowned because of his health, but now that Xiao Junxi is in good health, no matter what others think, the throne will not fall into the hands of others!
So she didn't care about the rumors at all.
But just because she doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others can turn a deaf ear to this rumor. For example, Murong Wan can't wait to propose marriage.
