No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 581: Bai Family Army Wu Ye!
"Miss Chuchu, Your Majesty invites you."

Luo Junyao looked at the maid in front of him with some doubts, pointed to himself and said, "Me?"

The maid looked a little arrogant, looked Luo Jun up and down, shook her head and nodded, "That's right, girl, please."

Luo Jun rolled his eyes and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager first."

Hearing this, the maid showed a bit of displeasure on her face, and said with a sneer, "Why? Your Majesty, please don't move you?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "But I'm from the Empress Dowager's palace, and Sister Bai Ning told me not to go out and wander around."

Seeing her like this, the maid couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "No need, I've already reported to the Empress Dowager, otherwise you would think how I got here."

The relationship between the queen mother and the king, is it so easy to come in without permission?

Luo Junyao looked at him, then nodded obediently: "Oh, then let's go."

The maid originally thought that it must be some powerful character that the queen mother could take a fancy to, but now seeing Luo Junyao's soft and cute appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little more contemptuous in her heart.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager went to the doctor in a hurry because she saw how beautiful this girl was?
Even in terms of beauty alone, this girl is not considered top-notch in the palace.Among the wives of the king's harem, there is no one who is more beautiful than her.

Thinking of this, the contempt in the maid's eyes became more obvious, and she said unceremoniously: "Let's go now."

"..." I said let's go.

Luo Junyao followed the maid out of the Empress Dowager's palace, and no one stopped her along the way.

The palace of the Qi nationality is not big, and it doesn't take much time to walk from Bai Jingrong's palace and walk through the garden to the palace of King Qi Ji Zhan.

After a while, Luo Junyao was led into Ji Zhan's palace by the maid.

"Wait outside, I'll go in and report." The maid said coldly.

Luo Junyao didn't care too much, and just sighed secretly in his heart: Why don't we say that everyone likes to be in a high position?Ever since she entered the Qi clan's palace, she just bowed her head to others.

I don't know what the maid went in to report. Luo Jun stood outside the hall for almost two quarters of an hour before he was finally called into the hall.

Ji Zhan was the only one in the huge hall, and he was sitting by the open window looking at something.

It has to be said that today's Qi people are still deeply impressed by the culture of the Central Plains.

Even in King Qi's palace, the furnishings looked almost the same as those in the Central Plains.In comparison, Bai Jingrong's sleeping hall is even more Qi style.

Luo Junyao was thinking about whether this was Ji Zhan's personal preference or some other reason. Ji Zhan, who was sitting on the side, had raised his head to look at her, "What is Miss Chuchu thinking?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and said shyly, "It's my first time here, and it's a little..."

Ji Zhan didn't care, the girl's appearance just now seemed to be stupefied for a moment.

It wasn't the first time Ji Zhan saw Luo Junyao, and seeing Luo Junyao's innocent appearance, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Sit." Ji Zhan said.

Luo Jun shook his thanks, walked over to Ji Zhan and sat down.

Ji Zhan said: "I learned the rules well."

Luo Junyao pursed his lips in embarrassment and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager wants me to learn more rules, so I will naturally work hard."

"You will listen to whatever the Queen Mother says?" Ji Zhan raised his eyebrows.

Luo Junyao said: "The empress dowager treated me very well. She sent people to teach me manners and knowledge, and gave me a good house and beautiful clothes. If it wasn't for the empress's kindness, I might be sent to the slave house." As she said, she I couldn't help shivering, as if I had some lingering fears in my heart.

Ji Zhan knew that the girl was taken to the slave house by the Queen Mother's people, and also knew that the Queen Mother was trying to scare her, so he just laughed secretly in his heart at the girl's innocence.

With her qualifications and appearance, even if she was not selected into the harem, it would not be a problem to be an ordinary maid in the palace, and she would not be sent to the slave house.

Of course, the treatment of ordinary maids is far from what she enjoys now.In this way, she was right to be grateful to the Queen Mother.

"Do you know why the queen mother cultivated you?" Ji Zhan asked.

Luo Junyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Ji Zhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Did the queen mother say that she will pass on all the power in her hands to you in the future? Do you think this is credible?"

Luo Junyao was a little uneasy and didn't answer, Ji Zhan smiled lightly: "Actually, you don't believe it, do you?"

"What exactly does the king want to say?" Luo Junyao asked in a low voice.

Ji Zhan looked at her: "Since you can make your mother look up to you, I don't think you are a fool. Then you should know who is the one who can have the last laugh in this city of Qi people. I don't want to lie to you, It is impossible for this king to marry you as the queen of the Qi tribe as my mother wished. I guess that my mother does not really think so."

Luo Junyao looked at him silently, and Ji Zhan could see a bit of bewilderment and helplessness in her eyes.

Ji Zhan slowed down his voice a little, and said softly: "Chuchu, if you want to live a good life, you must see clearly the path you will take in the future. I heard that you have read books before, so you are not ignorant woman."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty wants me...to betray the Empress Dowager?"

Ji Zhan smiled and said: "How can it be considered a betrayal? The queen mother is the king's biological mother. Do you think the king will do anything to her? It's just that the situation of the Qi people is difficult now, and the mother and the king have some misunderstandings. If this continues Go on, I'm afraid we won't get anything good. Mother has worked hard for most of her life, and she should have a good rest. Don't you think?"

Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a long time before slowly shaking his head and said: "I don't know if what the king said is right, but... I can't betray the empress dowager. The empress is very kind to me, I can't do this kind of thing."

Ji Zhan's gaze towards her gradually turned cold, and he stared fixedly at Luo Junyao.

Luo Jun shook his head and avoided his gaze.

A chill flashed in Ji Zhan's eyes, but his tone was still calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, think about it carefully. You can tell your mother what you said just now, but I will remind you first that my mother is suspicious by nature. If you make her doubt you……"

Luo Junyao avoided his profound gaze in panic, and said, "I, I understand. Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Only then did Ji Zhan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Go."

"Chu Chu leaves."

Looking at the back of the girl who hurried out, Ji Zhan sneered.

He thought it was some kind of extraordinary person, just a stubborn and stupid girl.

"Your Majesty." A middle-aged man came out from the back of the palace, stood in front of Ji Zhan and bowed respectfully.

Without raising his head, Ji Zhan took a sip of the wine in his glass and asked, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "There is no flaw."

"Oh?" Ji Zhan said: "So, there shouldn't be any problem with this girl's identity, and she wasn't a pawn secretly cultivated by the Queen Mother?"

The middle-aged man said: "It shouldn't be. This girl's Qi language is not proficient. Although the rules and etiquette look good, she still feels jerky. Obviously she just learned it not long ago. The most important thing is that she is very familiar with the king. There is no intention. The queen mother wants to send her to the king to change, but this girl doesn't seem to understand at all..."

Ji Zhan shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that my mother really has no one to use, even this kind of little girl can be recruited to make up for it."

The middle-aged man also nodded in agreement, and at the same time did not forget to remind: "Although this is the case, as long as the general of the Bai family army is loyal to the queen mother for a day, he still cannot be underestimated. The king must be careful."

Mentioning this, Ji Zhan's eyes couldn't help but a trace of anger ignited, he gritted his teeth and said, "That old bastard Wu Ye simply doesn't know how to flatter him!"

The loyalty of the younger generation of the Bai family army to Bai Jingrong is not very high, but because they are young, they are often still at the bottom and have not yet grasped power.

But now the person who holds the supreme power of the Bai family army is Bai Jingrong's diehard loyalist.

As long as this person is around, it will be even more difficult for him to completely seize the military power of the Bai family army.But this person is not weak, he had sent people to assassinate him before, but all of them ended in failure.

He couldn't let his brothers feel that he and the queen mother were almost on the verge of fighting each other.Otherwise, I'm afraid those brothers who were suppressed by him and the queen mother will stand together to deal with him.

The middle-aged man stood aside and cast down his eyes without saying a word.

Naturally, Ji Zhan was so angry not only because Wu Ye was ignorant of flattery, but most importantly, Wu Ye had some unspeakable connections with the Queen Mother.

As a subject and subordinate, he naturally did not dare to comment on the king's family affairs.

Ji Zhan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why the queen mother pushed out that girl named Chuchu is just because she wants to see the king and the nobles of the Qi clan. Xungui must be separated from this king. Does she really think that this king is so stupid?"

"What the king said is, in fact... as long as the king endures for two or three years to figure it out slowly, the matter of the queen mother may not be unsolvable." The middle-aged man said.

After all, the Empress Dowager is only a woman from the Central Plains, and she is still able to control the power of the Qi clan now because of the shadow left by the Bai family army and the early favor of the former king.

As long as a few more years pass, those people will naturally see the direction clearly and know who to follow is the right choice.Furthermore, the queen mother is getting older, but the king is in the prime of life.

Ji Zhan sneered and said, "You think I don't want to, but I'm afraid my mother won't be able to wait. You really think I don't know what she did last night?"

The middle-aged man remained silent and could only sigh secretly in his heart.

It would be a pity that the king and the queen mother would have less trouble if they could have the same heart as mother and child.

When Luo Junyao returned to Bai Jingrong Palace, he was summoned to have an audience.

Seeing Luo Jun swaying in, Bai Jingrong waved to her with a smile, "I'm back, come here."

Luo Junyao walked up to her with some doubts, but his eyes fell on another person.

It was a middle-aged man in his 50s. The man was tall and his face was a little thin, but there was a faint evil spirit in his eyes and between his brows.

Luo Junyao knew that this must be an experienced general.

Luo Yun and Xie Yan also have this kind of evil spirit, but Luo Yun prefers a sense of heroism on the battlefield, while Xie Yan's evil spirit is wrapped in a graceful kingly demeanor, which is rarely shown in front of others.

In comparison, this man's aura is more sharp and aggressive, giving people a feeling that he is not a kind person just by looking at him.

Luo Junyao didn't care too much, this kind of external aura could hardly affect her.

But Chu Chu should be afraid.

So she couldn't help leaning closer to Bai Jingrong, looking at Bai Jingrong with helplessness and panic in her eyes, "Mother..."

Bai Jingrong held her hand with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, this is General Wu Ye, he is not a bad person."

Luo Junyao said softly: "I have seen the general."

Wu Ye glanced at her, lingered on her face for a moment, then turned back to Bai Jingrong, and asked, "Is this the princess' new adoptive daughter?"

Bai Jingrong sighed lightly and said, "I think so, Ah Zhan disagrees."

Wu Ye snorted softly and said, "You will never hear about what happened last night."

Bai Jingrong laughed lightly, and said with great interest, "Is the general angry?"

Wu Ye took a deep look at her and said, "The last general dare not."

Bai Jingrong sighed and said, "Don't worry, I went to do business last night, and I didn't do anything else. Ah Zhan doesn't allow me to leave the palace now, so what can I do if I don't go out at night? Is it possible that you still have to do something for this?" , are you mad at me?"

As expected, Wu Ye's expression softened a bit, and he said: "Your Majesty has indeed gone too far recently." Not only to the Empress Dowager, but even to the Bai Family Army.

Over the years, the Bai family army fought for the Qi people in exchange for a stable position for Ji Zhan, but when Ji Zhan succeeded to the throne, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. Wu Ye was also very dissatisfied with Ji Zhan in his heart.

Bai Jingrong said: "Ah Zhan has grown up, so he will inevitably be disobedient. By the way, Chuchu, what did Ah Zhan tell you to come over?"

Luo Junyao hesitated, and Bai Jingrong said softly, "What? Can't you tell me?"

Luo Jun shook his head hastily, and told Bai Jingrong exactly what Ji Zhan had said to her.

Bai Jingrong was obviously not surprised, she raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "Chu Chu doesn't believe Ah Zhan's words?"

Luo Junyao whispered: "Your Majesty treats me very well, I can't..."

Bai Jingrong was very satisfied, lightly patted Luo Junyao's arm and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid. As long as you behave well, I will protect you naturally. You can listen to what Ah Zhan said, but just remember, What should you do."

"Chuchu understands that the empress is the best for Chuchu, and Chuchu will not do anything to embarrass the empress."

"Very good, go down and rest, don't forget to study hard with Bai Ning." Bai Jingrong said.

"Yes."

Luo Jun shook his head and was about to go out, but he heard a noise coming from outside.

Before she could react, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Wu Ye, who was sitting on the side, stood up abruptly, drew out the knife at his waist and pointed at the door.

Luo Junyao also saw the appearance of that person clearly, he was indeed an acquaintance.

play.

Bai Jingrong looked at Qu Fang calmly, and Qu Fang also looked indifferently at the people in the hall.

After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on Bai Jingrong's beautiful face, and she said, "A Fang, are you back?"
