The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 94 Wuya is always there (1)

Jiao Rong had never seen Xida like this before, her expression became a bit complicated, and the light in her eyes became dark.She patted Hilda on the back.Xida is no longer the youthful young man in her memory, his back is strong and powerful, and he has become a man who can be trusted.

"Xilda, don't be like this..." Jiaorong sighed, her voice was a little softer, she wanted to comfort Xida, but she didn't know what to say.

"You never extravagantly seek power. Others don't understand this, but I know that you have never been a person who has ambitions for status and status. You would not like the life of marrying into the palace." Xida's voice was always heavy, but still With the usual gentleness, this seems to have become something engraved in his bones.

"I really don't want to marry into the palace." Jiao Rong said seriously, but she swallowed again and whispered: "But we are no longer children, and we can't just decide whether we want to or not. That would be childish."

Hearing Jiaorong's words, Xida's heart fell to the bottom instantly. He let go of Jiaorong, took a step back, looked into Jiaorong's eyes in disbelief, and once felt that everything in front of him was unreal , "Jiaorong, you..."

Jiaorong also couldn't figure out what she was doing and what she was saying. She avoided Xida's eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, let me think about it myself? I haven't thought about it, I haven't thought about anything. , I just want to make a choice that I won’t regret in the future.”

Xida looked at Jiaorong's cold and ruthless appearance as usual, although she was very reluctant, she didn't want to push Jiaorong any more.After staring at it for a long time, Xida nodded slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay."

Then, Xida took a deep breath, and the bitterness between her brows was palpable, "As long as you can live a good life and be happy, you can decide whatever you want."

Xida's understanding and gentleness can always touch the softest place in people's hearts. She couldn't bear to look to the side, and gave a soft "um" in a cold voice: "Thank you, Brother Hilda."

When the two were entangled, what they didn't notice at all was that when Jiaorong had just come out of the main hall, Liang Jiugong walked into the gate of Chengqian Palace with the snacks that the emperor gave Jiaorong today.Liang Jiugong wanted to walk a few steps quickly to say hello to Jiaorong, but when he saw Xida and Jiaorong hugging each other, he quickly stopped and hid in a hidden place.

As a result, although Liang Jiugong didn't hear a few words of what the two of them said just now, he could clearly see the actions between the two of them.This made Liang Jiugong frown. As a middleman, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Hesitating again and again, Liang Jiugong stopped a little maid who was about to leave from Chengqian Palace, and handed her the food box in his hand: "You can give these things to Miss Jiaorong later, and say that the eunuchs from Qianqing Palace brought them to you." Yes, don't say it's me."

When the little palace maid heard this, she couldn't help being stunned, but seeing that Liang Jiugong was the chief eunuch in front of the imperial court, she obediently agreed: "Yes."

After Liang Jiugong returned to the Qianqing Palace, he stood beside the emperor and watched the emperor work. The scorching emperor is simply weird.

The emperor soon realized that something was wrong with Liang Jiugong. He first turned his head and gave Liang Jiugong a distracted look, then took advantage of Liang Jiugong's inattention, got up gently, picked up the memorial in his hand, and tapped him on the head.

This knock made Liang Jiugong startled, he hurriedly looked at the emperor, bowed his head and apologized: "Your Majesty."

The emperor walked down the steps, looked back at Liang Jiugong, and raised his eyebrows: "Since you came back from Chengqian Palace in the morning, you have been in such a distraught state for nearly a day, are you going to recruit directly, or go to get the board yourself?" ?”

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly followed down the steps, cupped his hands in front of the emperor and said, "I dare not, I will invite you as it is."

The emperor picked up the fan from the table, without saying a word, took the handle of the fan and tapped the fan on the palm of his hand, as if listening attentively.

Liang Jiugong was a little nervous being stared at by the emperor, he swallowed, and said helplessly: "I went to Chengqian Palace today, and accidentally saw something... something I shouldn't have seen..."

Hearing this, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, stopped the movements of his hands, then his face darkened a little, and he asked coldly: "Shouldn't you be watching?"

Liang Jiugong's cheeks twitched, and he answered "Yes" bravely, then shrank his neck and said in fear: "The slave saw Miss Jiaorong and her childhood friend guard in the courtyard of Chengqian Palace... behaving intimately... ..."

The moment he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong closed his eyes, fearing that the emperor would let him see blood in the next second.

Although the emperor's reaction was not that exaggerated, the instant change in his face was extremely obvious. The emperor's face was usually a stern portrait of an emperor, but now it was like a glacier, without any warmth.

"Are you sure about what you said?" The emperor stared closely at Liang Jiugong's eyes, as if he was interrogating a criminal in court.

Liang Jiugong didn't even dare to look at the emperor, he felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Your servant is just a eunuch, how dare you talk nonsense in front of the emperor."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes dimmed a bit, he stood still for a long time, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Find me a scholar from the Imperial Academy."

Regarding this, Liang Jiugong raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for with those great scholars?"

"Pseudo-imperial decree." The emperor coldly threw such a sentence to Liang Jiugong, and then walked out of the main hall with his hand holding the fan behind his back, leaving a cold wind behind him.

Liang Jiugong, who was standing there, was stunned for a long time, and silently repeated the "pseudo-imperial edict" in his mouth. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that his eyes widened.The emperor is impatient to wait any longer, and plans to seal him directly!

Realizing this, Liang Jiugong stopped being dull immediately, and ran out quickly, following the emperor's instructions.

Jiaorong slept very restlessly tonight. She never thought that one day she would have to choose between family revitalization and her own freedom. Similarly, she never thought that one day she would be able to do something for the family Opportunity.

Born in an era when "women are virtuous without talent", daughters of nobles may not know a few words, let alone slaves like them.She has no talent, no ability, Jiaorong has always felt that she is a burden to the family, so when Concubine Yi said that she can make the Wuya clan have unlimited honors, Jiaorong herself did not realize that she was moved. Understand.

Not for the emperor, not for power, but for the qualifications to gain glory for the family.
