No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 590 Re-Entering the Palace (Third Watch)
"She has betrayed a lot of people in her life, but she is still bitter about others betraying her?" Bai Xu said disdainfully.

Although they are the only blood relatives he has left in this world, Bai Xu doesn't have the slightest affection for this aunt, Bai Jingrong.

Perhaps there used to be, but when he knew how his father was framed by Bai Jingrong, and how Bai Jingrong took over the Bai family army, this blood relationship had long since turned into hatred.

For Bai Xu, the Xie family defeated the Bai family, that was the winner and loser in the battle for the world.

But what Bai Jingrong did was a betrayal of his father and the Bai family.

As for Yao Zhong, it is even more impossible for him to have any sympathy and understanding for Bai Jingrong. This kind of emotion can only exist in people like Luo Junyao who have no outright hatred for Bai Jingrong.

"What did Ji Rong say?" Xie Yan asked.

Yao Zhong laughed lowly and said, "Ji Rong longed for Bai Jingrong to die, why would she care about her life? During this period of time, Ji Rong secretly got close to Ji Zhan, but..."

Yao Zhong glanced at Xie Yan and said, "The Ninth Prince of the Qi Clan is not an easy-going lamp, be careful he stabs you in the back."

Xie Yan said: "If Ji Zhan can't do it, he will only be even worse. Do you think stabbing me will do him any good?"

Ji Rong is indeed a bit of a pity, if he is in the Central Plains, he may not be able to achieve success.

It's a pity that he is a mixed blood of the Qi people and the people of the Central Plains, and he was born in a place like the Qi people, which is destined to make it impossible for him to sit on the throne of the Qi people.

Yao Zhong thought of Ji Rong's hatred for Bai Jingrong, and felt that Xie Yan's words were very reasonable.

If Xie Yan can win the Qi clan and Bai Jingrong, maybe he will give Ji Rong a chance to choose again.

If the status quo is maintained, no matter who wins in the end, Ji Zhan or Bai Jingrong, the best result of Ji Rong's life is only now.

And this is the situation that Ji Rong hates the most.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and the entire royal court of the Qi clan became lively early in the morning.

Today, not only the palace will hold a banquet, but the entire royal court outside the palace will also be decorated with lanterns, festoons, songs and dances.

In the Queen Mother's Palace.

Bai Jingrong sat in front of a huge bronze mirror, and her beautiful face was reflected in the polished bronze mirror.

The maid behind her was carefully pulling her hair. Bai Jingrong looked at herself carefully in the mirror. The faint wrinkles at the end of her eyes made her feel a little gloomy for an instant.

She caressed the end of her eyes and sighed softly.

The maid tied her hair in a bun, and couldn't help but ask, "Is your empress not happy about the banquet held by the king today?"

Bai Jingrong glanced at the maid and said, "Of course I'm happy, I'm just a little bit emotional, time flies too fast... In a blink of an eye, Ah Zhan is so old, and I'm old too."

The maid's face paled, the whole Empress Dowager's palace didn't know, the most taboo thing for the Empress Dowager was to hear an old word?

Bai Jingrong did not vent his anger, picked up the lip balm on the table, and slowly put on makeup for himself.

"Your Majesty, please see General Wu." Bai Ning said respectfully outside the door.

"Let him wait outside." Bai Jingrong said casually.

Wu Ye sat in the main hall drinking tea non-stop, looking a little uneasy.

When Bai Jingrong came out and saw him like this, he couldn't help but frowned and said in displeasure, "What's wrong with you?"

Wu Ye said: "I'm a little nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about?" Bai Jingrong said coldly, "The matter has come to this point, it's up to us to choose whether to do it or not, isn't it?"

Wu Ye lowered his eyes and said, "The princess is right."

That's right, it's up to him to choose whether to do it or not.

Wu Ye didn't raise his head to look at Bai Jingrong. Now that he is restricted by people's whereabouts, he might not have the thought of resenting Bai Jingrong.

Bai Jingrong didn't even notice that the Princess Regent of Dasheng had mingled with him for so long, and still wanted to overthrow Ji Zhan and control the entire Qi clan by himself?
Wu Ye sneered in his heart, even if he wasn't under Xie Yan's control, he wasn't optimistic about Bai Jingrong's plan.

How can the Qi people accept a foreign woman ruling them?
That's why he secretly made other plans, but it's a pity...

"What is Ah Ye thinking?" Bai Jingrong walked up to Wu Ye, put one hand on his shoulder and asked softly.

Wu Ye raised his head, and there was a bit of infatuation in his eyes.

He raised his hand to hold Bai Jingrong's hand on his shoulder, and said, "I'm thinking about what happened tonight. After all, Ji Zhan is King Qi, and those nobles still support him. What if..."

Bai Jingrong snorted and said, "Are you scared?"

"how come?"

"Don't worry." Bai Jingrong said lightly, "Since I chose to do this, I am absolutely sure that I can control the situation. As for Ah Zhan, I will save his life."

Wu Ye wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Jingrong.

"By the way, is that girl Chuchu okay?"

The veins on Wu Ye's forehead couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Bai Jingrong asked with great interest: "What's wrong? Is she okay?"

"No!" Wu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a little girl, what's so good about it? Don't you think I can't handle it?"

Bai Jingrong covered her lips and said with a smile: "That girl is young, I'm afraid she is a bit stubborn, it's okay, she will get better with time."

"What the princess said is true." Wu Ye lowered his eyes and said, "Besides, a little girl can't compare to you, princess."

Bai Jingrong snorted, and said, "You don't have to say that to coax me. I'm old, how can I be fresher than a little girl? I heard that you haven't let that girl go out these two days?"

Wu Ye is not big.

Seeing his displeased look, Bai Jingrong said with a smile: "Okay, I don't want to say anything. I didn't mean to send someone to watch you on purpose, but I raised that little girl for a long time. I will pay you back Somewhat reluctant."

Wu Ye said: "Of course I didn't mean to blame the princess. If I had known that the princess was so reluctant, I would not have given up." He regretted bringing such a disaster star into the door, and he regretted it for the past two days.

"Tonight's banquet, do you want to bring the girl into the palace to have a look?" Bai Jingrong asked.

Wu Ye said: "Forget it, a little girl with no name and no distinction, don't follow her to make trouble."

"What? I can't even meet her even if I want to?" Bai Jingrong said coquettishly with an expression of displeasure.

Wu Ye said: "If the princess wants to see her, just summon her directly. If she is really reluctant, I will return her to you. Don't worry, I didn't touch her. The princess can still let her be your daughter-in-law."

It's best to let her kill Ji Zhan!

"You didn't touch her?" Bai Jingrong looked at him suspiciously and said, "I didn't know you were such a sympathetic person."

Wu Ye snorted softly and said: "That girl is looking for death, I don't want to get blood dripping, isn't she just a woman? It's not some stunning beauty that will overwhelm the country and the city."

"..." She received the news that Wu Ye didn't let them see Chu Chu, and even called a doctor in the yard.

She thought it was Wu Ye who hurt someone and didn't want to let her know. Did that girl commit suicide?

"Is it serious? Can you let her come into the palace for me to see?" Bai Jingrong thought of that little girl, and for a moment he didn't know how he felt.

Chastity is too far away for her, and even for many women in the royal court of the Qi nationality.

She had somewhat forgotten that half of this girl's blood was from the Central Plains.

Perhaps her father also taught her the ridiculous concept of chastity among Central Plains women?
"Almost broke my hand, the princess just wants to see me and have someone bring her into the palace." Wu Ye said impatiently.

"It's just a little girl, what does the princess keep telling me about her?"

"Okay, just don't say anything." Bai Jingrong said with a smile.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wu Ye walked out of Bai Jingrong's palace.

When he walked out of the main hall, he saw Qu Fang standing beside the pillar under the eaves with his sword in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.

Wu Ye please snorted, and walked past him.

It wasn't until after walking a long distance that Wu Ye stopped suddenly.

Qu Fang lived in Shangyong for several years, and his apprentice was still Xie Yan's confidant. He happened to come back at this time, was it really for Bai Jingrong?
Did he really not recognize the Princess Regent?
Wu Ye didn't slow down, at this point, these are no longer important.

In the evening, the outside of the palace gate gradually became lively.

Envoys of various skin colors and appearances in various costumes arrived one after another, and walked towards the palace under the guidance of the guards and officials outside the palace.

Luo Junyao did not line up with these people to enter from the main entrance of the palace. Instead, he entered through the door on the other side of the palace closest to the Empress Dowager's palace as when he came out two days ago.

She deliberately took the time to go in, and when she entered Bai Jingrong Palace, Ji Zhan had already sent someone to invite the Queen Mother to the banquet.

Bai Jingrong looked at Luo Junyao, and found that her little face was paler than usual, and even her lips were pale.

There was still a bloodstain on his neck, and his left hand was tightly wrapped in gauze, hanging unnaturally by his side, motionless.

When he got closer, he could still smell a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of herbs.

If the previous Luo Junyao was like a wild flower with vigorous vitality, now it looks like a wilted wild flower that has been scorched by the scorching sun and beaten by cold frost.

"You girl..." Bai Jingrong said pitifully, "Why are you so stubborn? Didn't I tell you that I would pick you up after a while?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said timidly, "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I let you down."

Bai Jingrong sighed lightly, and said: "Forget it, since you don't want to, I have already told Wu Ye that after tonight, you should still stay in the palace."

Hearing this, Luo Jun shook his eyes, "Really, really?"

"Of course it's true." Bai Jingrong said, "If I knew you were like this, I wouldn't let you go. But you still have to stay with Wu Ye tonight, you know?"

Seeing her repulsive expression, Bai Jingrong said: "Don't worry, he won't hurt you again in the future, and I will also send someone to protect you. Let Bai Ning stay by your side tonight, okay? "

Luo Junyao took a quick look at Bai Ning, and seeing that Bai Ning was looking at her with a smile, he nodded slowly.

"I listen to my mother."

"That's good." Bai Jingrong said with satisfaction, "How's the injury? Let me see."

Luo Junyao raised his hand with some difficulty, and said, "It doesn't matter, the doctor said...the meridians were not injured..."

"That's good." Bai Jingrong raised his hand to touch it, but withdrew his hand when his finger was about to touch the gauze.

"Your Majesty, it's time. Your Majesty and Queen have invitations." The officials outside the hall urged again.

Bai Jingrong turned around and said, "Understood, let's go."

"Respectfully send off the empress." Everyone in the hall respectfully sent Bai Jingrong away in unison.

After seeing off Bai Jingrong, Bai Ning said to Luo Jun, "Chuchu, let's go, let's go find General Wu."

Luo Junyao silently nodded.

Seeing her like this, Bai Ning couldn't help but sighed softly and said, "Don't blame your mother, it's not easy for her. These two days, my mother has been thinking of you from time to time."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Sister Bai Ning, I know, I don't blame your mother."

"That's good, let's go too."

When the two passed through numerous guards and arrived at the hall where the banquet was held, Wu Ye was drinking with someone.

Sitting next to him were mostly generals of the Bai family army. Just by looking at their positions, it was obvious that the Central Plains people were being suppressed in the royal court of the Qi clan.

The places where they were sitting were not too close to Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong who were sitting in the main seats in front, and even the envoys from Wumo City were a little in front of them.

Luo Jun shook his eyes and saw Zha Tuo, the second prince of Wumo City, and Zhu'er sitting beside him, but he didn't see Xie Yan.

Didn't you mean to come in with Zato?

Is it easy too?But Luo Junyao carefully looked at the people around Zatuo, but he didn't find any one that was disguised by Xie Yan.

"Chuchu?" Bai Ning called out in a low voice.

Luo Jun said calmly: "Ah, I saw that seems to be the new lady in the king's palace, I have spoken to her."

Bai Ning said: "That's the princess of Wumo City. Taking advantage of today's banquet, the king specially allowed their siblings to sit together."

"I see."

Wu Ye, who was sitting next to him, felt stiff all over while listening to the conversation between the two.

The regent princess is too good at acting, she knows everything, but she still has to act like she is ignorant.

It's even scarier than Bai Jingrong. Xie Yan married such a concubine, and she is also Luo Yun's daughter. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to sleep at night?
"General? General?" Someone nearby came to toast, seeing Wu Ye in a daze, he couldn't help shouting.

Only then did Wu Ye come back to his senses, cheer up and toast with the people in front of him.

Luo Junyao looked at the guests in the hall with great interest, and thanks to Bai Jingrong's teaching before, she can now recognize the nobles of the Qi nationality.

Even if they don't know each other, isn't there still Bai Ning standing beside him?

Her eyes fell on Ji Rong. Ji Rong was drinking tea with his head down. Occasionally, someone would come forward to talk to him before he would reply, but it was usually over quickly.

It has to be said that, as King Qi's only younger brother, Ji Rong seems too low-key.

Luo Junyao's eyes suddenly stopped on a person. It was a tall, burly and imposing middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes. Small nation or tribal emissary who pays tribute.

There was a lazy banter on his face, as if he was not here to attend a banquet in the palace, but to watch a play.

Luo Junyao frowned slightly, "Sister Bai Ning, who is that?"

Bai Ning followed her gaze, frowned and said, "I haven't seen it before. I'm not from the Qi tribe. Is it an envoy from some tribe who came to pay tribute?"

Luo Junyao didn't take it seriously, she saw that man's eyes were on Bai Jingrong who was sitting next to Ji Zhan.

The Yin family, King Chaqin?

The Yin tribe is not a tribe that pays tribute. King Chaqin blatantly ran to the palace at this time, is it because no one in the Qi tribe knows him?
If it is recognized, it will be lively.
