No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 117 Destroying Flowers With Difficult Hands? (one more)
Xie Yan led Wei Changting through many palaces and headed towards the inner court.

When passing by the imperial garden, I heard bursts of girls' laughter coming from the garden.

Xie Yan stopped and said in a deep voice, "Is there any outsider in the palace today?"

The servant following them hurried forward and said: "My lord, the Empress Dowager summoned several wives and noble daughters to see her today, and she presumably gave the girls a chance to play in the imperial garden."

Xie Yan frowned slightly, the Empress Dowager is not in good health, it is best to stay in bed and recuperate.It really shouldn't be a waste of time and effort to summon married women and noble ladies.

It's all because of Changling Huangjie's troubles!

Wei Changting followed, and asked with a smile, "Is there General Luo's wife and girl?"

The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help leaning against the back of Wei Changting, saying: "Of course there are, Mrs. Luo and Miss Luo are also on the list."

Wei Changting glanced at Xie Yan with interest and said, "That's really a coincidence."

The servant thought to himself: How could it be a coincidence?
But in the end, I didn’t ask. The most important thing to live in the palace is not to be curious about things you shouldn’t know.

Wei Changting looked at Xie Yan with a smile and said, "Shall I go say hello to Miss Luo Er?"

Xie Yan glanced at him lightly, and continued walking forward.

Wei Changting shrugged and followed Xie Yan leisurely.

"Hey, is someone bothering the little girl?" Wei Changting suddenly laughed.

Xie Yan, who was about to leave, frowned slightly, and looked sideways in the direction of the imperial garden.

"Luo Junyao, I really didn't expect the Empress Dowager to call you here."

Luo Jun, who was talking to Su Rui, raised his head, looked at the domineering girl in purple clothes standing in front of him, and asked doubtfully, "Why can't I come?" This girl was none other than Zhu Jin, the niece of Empress Dowager Zhu.

Luo Junyao thought of the gentle and virtuous words of Zhu Jin that Queen Mother Zhu said, and then looked at the imposing eyes of this girl, and felt that Queen Mother Zhu's words were a bit watery.

Zhu Jin snorted softly and said, "Who among us here doesn't know why the Empress Dowager summoned us?"

Then he looked Luo Jun up and down, shook his eyes, and said with a sneer, "You know what you did earlier, so why are you so embarrassed to miss His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Luo Junyao did not show any weakness, stood up, stepped on the stone, looked down at Zhu Jin condescendingly, and said, "The empress dowager summoned me, of course I want to come. What? Do you think the empress dowager is wrong? Or do you think the Zhu family dares to come?" It is natural to refuse the empress dowager's summoning? Tsk, the empress dowager just called people into the palace to have a lot of fun, and you thought Xiao Xiang wanted a man? Why, hate to marry?"

"You!" Zhu Jin glared angrily at the articulate girl in front of her, but the other party stood on the rock a lot taller than her, and lost a head in terms of momentum.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "How?"

Zhu Jin's pretty face flushed with anger, "Don't be too proud! The Empress Dowager was just deceived by you, and soon she will know about your previous scandals, when the time comes..."

Before Luo Junyao could fight back, Su Rui next to him took a step forward and blocked Luo Junyao behind him.

She looked at Zhu Jin and said indifferently: "Miss Zhu, the empress dowager is not something we can discuss. Do you think that the Luo family deliberately deceived the empress dowager?"

Zhu Jin wanted to say something, but Su Rui didn't give her a chance, and continued: "Is this the meaning of Cheng Enhou, or the empress dowager? The girl should be cautious when speaking, falsely passing on the meaning of the elders and the empress dowager is not a trivial matter .”

Zhu Jin blushed, as if she wanted to say something but held back abruptly.

Although she is also among the top noble ladies in Shangyong, in fact, more people still see Empress Dowager Zhu's face.

Except for the Empress Dowager Zhu, Cheng Enhou's Mansion doesn't have a single person who can make a move.In fact, the court hall has been a place where the imperial power and courtiers have been playing games since ancient times. If the courtiers are strong, even the emperor can stand in the way, let alone an uncle whose nephew is not yet in charge?

Therefore, Zhu's family didn't really have much to say in the court. If it wasn't for Shangyong's nobles who were concerned about the little emperor's attitude towards his uncle's family after he came to power in the future, I am afraid that not many people would really think highly of Cheng Enhou's mansion.

In contrast, the other noble ladies present were almost all elders in their families who held important positions, and they were at least the chief officials of the six ministries.

And Luo Junyao and Su Rui are the top ones.

Luo Yun was Ding Guogong, the great general of the dynasty, and he was the head of the Dasheng generals besides the regent.

Su Rui's grandfather was the imperial tutor, although he was old, it seemed that he was not as powerful as Ruan Xiang was at his peak.But he is highly respected, even the current prime minister, the regent and Luo Yun have to give him some face.

Therefore, Luo Junyao and Su Rui are really not afraid of Zhu Jin, the Queen Mother's niece.

Zhu Jin obviously also understands this truth. Although she is a little arrogant and impulsive, she still knows what not to say.

Zhu Jin gave Su Rui a sideways look, and said with a bit of eccentricity: "I didn't expect that Miss Su has now become a follower of the Luo family. General Luo is really very powerful."

Luo Junyao jumped down from the rock, held Su Rui's hand and said, "It turns out that the ones who are so close to Miss Zhu are all your followers?"

He glanced meaningfully at the two girls who came with Zhu Jin. At this moment, the two girls who were watching the show said, "Unfortunately, our Luo family doesn't have this hobby, and we don't have such a big face. The sister of the Su family is willing to follow her regardless of the past." I played with her because of her generosity. It's not like some people who just look for trouble! Why is there such a big gap between people?"

After all, he let out a long sigh, as if he was very sorry.

"Luo Junyao!" Zhu Jin was so angry that his face turned livid, "You're so talkative now! It's a pity, no matter how powerful you are, Xie Chengyou doesn't want you!"

She thought that these words would definitely anger Luo Junyao, but Luo Junyao was not angry, but looked at her with a smile on the contrary, and said leisurely: "What are you thinking about, young lady, I am noble, and Xie Chengyou can't afford it. It's you..."

Luo Junyao suddenly smiled at her, and just when Zhu Jin was vigilant, Luo Junyao had already stepped forward to her.

Luo Junyao asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Miss Zhu, how many times has your family begged the regent? Why do you have the nerve to appear here?"

"you!"

Zhu Jin was stunned instantly, raised her hand and waved towards Luo Jun without thinking.

It's a pity that Luo Junyao had already retreated the moment she waved her hand, and at the same time several thorny flower branches appeared at the place where Luo Junyao was standing just now.

Zhu Jin slapped the flower branch with a slap, and let out a scream in an instant.

Luo Junyao looked at the rose branch that had been broken by a slap with regret, and a lot of petals were knocked off, which shows how much strength Zhu Jin used.

"It's such a pity, all the good flowers were destroyed by Miss Zhu. I also asked the steward of the imperial garden specifically, so I took this flower and wanted to enjoy it with everyone."

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Zhu Jin, whose eyes were red from the pain as he covered his hand, and shook his head: "It's really hard to destroy flowers."

"..." Su Rui was dumbfounded.

I just saw a bouquet of flowers next to you, but when did you hold it in your hand?

"Luo Junyao, you are so courageous!" Zhu Jin gritted her teeth.

There weren't many thorns on the rose, but she hit her so hard just now, several thorns directly pricked her fingers.

There were several red spots of blood on the originally slender fingers.

Luo Junyao said that he was innocent, "Miss Zhu, I didn't blame you for breaking my flower, but you still sued the wicked first?"

"You... you wait for me!"

Zhu Jin realized that she was obviously not Luo Junyao's opponent whether it was a quarrel or a fight, so she pointed at Luo Junyao and said something bitterly, then turned and ran away.

Seeing this, the two girls watching the play looked at each other but did not follow.

Just looking at Luo Junyao and Su Rui, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed, nodded hurriedly at them, and went to the other side together.

Su Rui looked at Luo Junyao with a strange expression, Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Sister Su, what's wrong? Did it scare you?"

Su Rui shook her head slowly, and pointed to the rose branch in her hand.

Luo Junyao hurriedly hid the rose branches behind him, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't fold the flowers without authorization, but just now when I passed by there, I saw a few gardeners pruning them, so I took a few. You see, they were all cut Yes, I didn't fold it."

Su Rui shook her head, and said: "You are quite courageous. You have been punishing Zhu Jin in the palace. After all, she is the niece of the Empress Dowager."

Luo Junyao was helpless, "I don't want to cause trouble, but she made it clear that she was going to target me, so I can't just bow my head and give up, right? Speaking of which...she doesn't want to trouble Miss Ruan, why is she looking for me? It's inexplicable."

Those two are competitors.

Su Rui smiled and said, "Probably because Miss Ruan's weakness is hard to find."

"Huh?" Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked.

Su Rui said: "Ms. Ruan's family is known as the most perfect lady in Shangyong. Every gesture she makes is a model of everyone and a model of noble girls. Isn't Zhu Jin asking her to trouble her, is she humiliating herself?"

Luo Junyao said quietly: "Sister Su means that it is only natural to trouble me?"

Su Rui smiled and gave her a "what do you think" look.

"..." Luo Junyao said that she had nothing to say.

"Sister Su, you play first, I'll go over and have a look." Luo Jun shook his head.

Su Rui nodded clearly, "Calm down, don't be rude in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "I know, Sister Su can rest assured."

Su Rui thought to herself: You dare to play tricks on the Empress Dowager's niece in the palace, I'm really not at ease.

Ruan Yueli, who was chatting on the other side, naturally also saw the movement here.

A girl in a red shirt beside Ruan Yueli said in a low voice, "This Zhu Jinzhuo is really arrogant because she is the empress dowager's niece."

"Who said it wasn't? Then the second girl of the Luo family didn't provoke her, so she went up to find trouble for him. She deserves to suffer."

Ruan Yueli glanced at the girl who had already turned around and walked out of the imperial garden, and said thoughtfully, "This Miss Luo Er seems very different."

The girl in the red shirt also looked over there, nodded in agreement, "It's really different from before, maybe it's General Luo and the two young masters who came back. The second girl Luo doesn't listen to her stepmother, she always listens to her father and brother, right?" ?”

They didn't have much contact with Luo Junyao before, and Luo Junyao often went to Linglong Courtyard to get together with Shen Lingxiang and Xie Yuan's group.

But even if they don't have much contact with each other, they have experienced the temper of this second girl Luo, and it is really not pleasing.

But looking at that girl now, she is clearly a beautiful and lovable little cutie.

Another girl said: "The Second Miss Luo has become normal, and she is indeed a lot more pleasing. Now that she has broken relations with Mr. Xuan Yu, the dignitaries in the capital may trample down the door of the Luo family in the future."

Who wouldn't want a father-in-law like Luo Yun?In addition, Luo Jinyan and his brothers are not easy-going lamps. If all goes well, the Luo family can at least prosper for decades.

Now Luo Junyao is not the same as before, even for the sake of Luo Yun, the father-in-law, some small shortcomings in the past can be ignored.

Ruan Yueli nodded and said, "That's not bad."

Their Ruan family is one of them, and her father is planning to let her elder brother marry the second daughter of the Luo family or let her marry into the Luo family.

only……

Ruan Yue let out a long sigh in her heart, her gaze swept across the lake in front of her and looked into the distance.

She already has someone in her heart, and she really doesn't want to marry someone else.
