No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 573 Chess pieces! (two more)

This promise is too hypocritical, even a three-year-old child will not believe it.

But his mother hoped that he would believe it, Ji Rong thought sarcastically in her heart.

However, what he said was, "Mother, I'm not interested in the position of King Qi, and I can't sit in this position. I told you before, if I can, I want to leave the royal court and go to..."

"No prospect!" Bai Jingrong interrupted him displeasedly, and said in a deep voice, "You are my son, Bai Jingrong, there is no position that you cannot sit in, and there is nothing that you cannot obtain!"

Ji Rong shook her head, still not answering.

Bai Jingrong sighed: "I know you're still blaming me. You can do it. Didn't you do a good job before? Rong'er, you and I know what kind of temper Ah Zhan has, and he won't let you go."

Ji Rong said expressionlessly: "You really just want to use me as a pawn in the game with him."

Bai Jingrong smiled lightly and said: "Life in this world, who is not a chess piece? There are too few people who can be chess players. Since you don't want to be a chess piece, you have to fight for it yourself. If one day, you sit in that high position , naturally no one would dare to treat you as a pawn any more."

"What if I don't agree?" Ji Rong asked.

Bai Jingrong looked at him with a smile and said, "Ronger, do you want to die so much? I will never tolerate a son disobeying me again. If you are not good, what you have done secretly all these years will appear on your elder brother's table tomorrow." On the case. When the time comes..."

Ji Rong gritted her teeth and stared at her, then said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Bai Jingrong patted his face happily and said, "That's good. My mother treated you badly before. It was my mother's fault. She will love you later."

In a mansion in Wang Ting, Qin Yao'er crouched pitifully in a corner and dared not speak.

Not far away, Xie Yan sat on the main seat, staring at her indifferently.

"Not yet?" Xie Yan said coldly, "You are getting bolder."

Qin Yao'er tried her best to look pitiful and innocent, but it was of no use.

The overlapping image next to her gave her a helpless wink, signaling her to explain quickly, otherwise the prince would really get angry.

Seeing Xie Yan's increasingly cold expression, Qin Yao'er could only cautiously walk out from the corner, and said, "Wang, Wangfei...has gone to the palace."

Leng Shuang, who was sitting on the side, also looked at Qin Yao'er in surprise when she heard the words.

To say that Qin Yao'er is bold, seeing the regent is like a mouse meeting a cat.

If you say she is timid, she really dares to do anything.

Qin Yao'er raised her hand and said: "The princess said that she would not do anything, but went into the palace to see the situation, and would not take risks. And, and I disguised myself very well, so no one would recognize the princess Identity. I, I also gave the princess a lot of powerful poisons, it must be fine!"

Xie Yan said coldly: "I don't know that you are such an obedient person, and you dare to hide it for the princess. If I didn't ask, you plan to tell me in a few days?"

Qin Yao'er thought to herself: "Listen to Wang Hao, shouldn't it be concealed for Wang Hao? Besides, how could it be possible for you to know that Wang Hao is gone after a few days?"

"Xi and Xiying are also involved!" Qin Yao'er hastily diverted the trouble, "He is the one who made the princess."

"Xi Ying is not here now." Duo Ying reminded her.

Even if the prince is angry again, it is she who will be unlucky now, not Xiying who was ordered to run an errand.

"..."

Qin Yao'er stammered and said: "That... Wangfei said that she will help me bring me the secret medicine stored in King Qi's palace."

Xie Yan snorted lightly, and said: "When the princess comes back, we will talk about how to punish you."

Hearing that Qin Yao'er was overjoyed, when the princess came back, how could the prince remember to punish her?
When the time comes, the concubine will ask for mercy again. Will it be over soon?
Sure enough, following the princess is the right path.

Qin Yao'er jumped up from the ground and went out in a flash.

Leng Shuang and Die Ying looked at each other, and Die Ying asked: "My lord, let's forget it?"

Xie Yan sneered and said: "Don't worry about her for now, wait for the princess to come back. Leng Shuang."

It seems that it doesn't count, the prince sometimes holds grudges.

Leng Shuang stood up, cupped her hands respectfully and said, "My lord."

Xie Yan raised his eyes to look at her and said, "How are you preparing for what this king ordered?"

Leng Shuang said respectfully: "Everything has already been prepared, just waiting for the order from the prince."

Xie Yan nodded and said: "Very good, you go first and wait for the king's order."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After Leng Shuang went out, Duo Ying said: "My lord, I just received the news that King Chaqin arrived in the royal court secretly last night."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "He has a correspondence with Bai Jingrong, so he should come here for Bai Jingrong this time."

Hearing the words, Duoying couldn't help but frown, and said worriedly: "Will he do something bad?"

Xie Yan said: "No. This person is very ambitious, and he knows exactly how to choose. It's just that... if you don't see a beautiful woman who is famous outside the Great Wall, you will feel that you will be at a disadvantage. Maybe he still wants to take advantage of this. Negotiate terms with the king."

"Stunning beauty? Bai Jingrong..." Halfway through speaking, the overlapping shadow stopped again.

No matter how old Bai Jingrong is, she has to admit that she is indeed a stunning beauty.

So Duoying could only say: "King Chaqin is too greedy."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Yan said: "If he is not greedy, how can I persuade him so easily? Now that Dayin has vaguely formed two parts in the east and west, if he can annex the Qi people and control the entire Western Region, the people of Dayin may not be unreasonable." Huiwei will follow the Zhaqin tribe, and turn the direction to plot the Central Plains again. If he can't do it and the Qi people gradually become stronger, the Zhaqin tribe will be unable to support themselves, and they will have to move westward to become a vassal in Xiyin."

Dasheng has a deep blood feud with the Qi clan, but he doesn't have a good impression of the Yin clan, after all, they are all people who once wanted to plot the Central Plains.

"The people of Dayin are wolfish and ambitious. After hundreds of years, they still can't forget the land of the Central Plains. Don't worry if the prince chases tigers and devours wolves like this..." Duo Ying couldn't help asking.

Xie Yan looked indifferent, "Therefore, King Chaqin will never get involved in the royal court of the Qi clan or even the entire Western Regions. Go and send a message to King Chaqin, this king wants to see him."

"Yes, my lord."

"My lord, there is Mr. Yao outside the door asking to see you." Outside the door, the guard whispered.

Xie Yan said calmly: "Please come in."

After a while, Yao Zhong strolled in.Die Ying respectfully retired, leaving a separate space to his uncle and nephew who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Yao Chong glanced around the whole room, and asked curiously, "Where's your little princess? Could it be that she didn't bring it with her?"

Xie Yan said: "You came to see me just to talk about this?"

Yao Chong sighed lightly and said: "We haven't seen each other for several years, and now we finally meet in a different place. It's fine if you don't ask An and say hello, but you still have such a cold appearance. Zhifei, uncle is so sad."

Xie Yan took a sip of tea calmly, raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've learned more in singing, reading, playing and playing outside than in Shangyong."

Yao Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, walked over to Xie Yan and sat down.

Xie Yan personally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "I haven't seen you for a few years, how is uncle?"

"It's almost there."

Yao Zhong took a sip of the tea and said with some satisfaction, "As expected, the tea from the Central Plains is delicious."

Xie Yan refilled the water for him again, and said: "Since I think the tea in the Central Plains is delicious, I'll go back earlier when it's almost time."

Yao Zhong sized him up for a while before saying, "Why don't you ask them how they are doing?"

Xie Yan asked calmly: "Do I have to ask?"

Yao Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily true. It's fine if you don't want to know. It seems that you have had a good life these few years. That little girl from the Luo family is really suitable for you."

Mentioning Luo Junyao, Xie Yan's face became more gentle, which made Yao Zhong laugh meaningfully.

"Where's your little concubine? You don't come to see my uncle?" Yao Zhong looked around, but he still didn't see Luo Junyao, and asked curiously.

He couldn't believe that Xie Yan would come out without the little girl when he went out for several months.

Xie Yan said: "Go out to play, come back and visit uncle again."

Yao Zhong didn't care, nodded and said: "Forget it, this royal court of the Qi clan is not a good place, we can wait until we return to the Central Plains to discuss these matters."

Xie Yan said: "It seems that uncle has had a good life in the past two years."

"Oh?"

Xie Yan said: "The mood seems to be much better than when I was in Shangyong."

Yao Zhong propped his forehead with one hand, leaned on the table in front of him and said leisurely: "Leaving a familiar place, many things will have a different view. I have done what I should do and what I should not do. In the days to come, Just do whatever you want."

"Just open your mind." Xie Yan didn't say much.

Yao Zhong asked: "King Chaqin has already arrived in the royal city. Bai Jingrong seems to be planning to join forces with King Chaqin and the nobles of the Qi tribe to take over Ji Zhan's power. What's your plan?"

Xie Yan said: "If Ji Zhan falls down, the nobles of the Qi clan and the royal family of the Qi clan may not be able to accommodate Bai Jingrong."

"That's why she needs King Chaqin." Yao Zhong said.

Xie Yan said indifferently: "Coincidentally, this king has also taken a fancy to King Chaqin's pawn."

Yao Chong heard the words and asked with great interest: "What? You also have contact with King Chaqin? That's right, you should have been to the royal court a few days earlier, but you went to the Chaqin Ministry a few days later?"

Xie Yan asked: "Ji Rong told you these news?"

Yao nodded emphatically, looked at Xie Yan with a little trouble, and said, "Ji Rong, I'm always a little worried. Are you sure he's fine?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Yao Zhong said: "I can't see through him, I always feel...what he thinks in his heart is not the same as what he shows."

"Could it be that uncle is a person who matches his words with his deeds?"

Yao Zhong was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing, "You're right."

Xie Yan said: "Don't worry, Ji Rong does have selfish intentions, but he won't harm us."

Yao nodded emphatically, "You have always had a good eye for seeing people. Since you said that, it seems that I am thinking too much."

Xie Yan shook his head and did not speak.

It's not that Yao Zhong thinks too much, it's just that people like Yao Zhong really can't understand Ji Rong's thoughts.

That's it.
