After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 68 Quarrel
At this moment, Mu Jingzhao had just finished farming, and the two sleeves of the exquisitely embroidered dark gold python robe were pulled up to the elbow position, revealing a small section of strong and strong elbow.

The hands that had just been washed were naturally hanging by his side, and a red mark left by a hoe handle slanted across his palm, skillfully connecting his tiger's mouth with the wrist on the other side.

Occasionally, a few drops of water slipped down his fingertips and fell to the ground, leaving two small puddles on the ground.

Even though he was physically strong, the long-term mechanical operation still caused some fine beads of sweat to ooze from the corners of his forehead, and a few strands of broken hair were sticky on his forehead, which only added to his embarrassment.

"I was really annoyed by those servants making noise there, so I closed the door and didn't drive them away."

Even though he was extremely exhausted, Mu Jingzhao still had a straight posture and tried to explain to Jiang Ning.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ning was still obsessed with the fact that the money she got flew away out of thin air. She glared at Mu Jingzhao. Obviously, she didn't believe that the other party could be so polite to his servants.

"You closed the door, isn't this driving people away?"

Mu Jingzhao was inexplicably choked by Jiang Ning, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that he is the emperor, let alone let the servants leave, even if let them roll from here to the city gate, so what?
"Even if I drive people away, so what? Talking so loudly about the master's affairs, I have already lenient the net by not punishing them. Is it possible that Zheng still wants to commit himself to coaxing them to leave?"

There has never been any distinction between high and low in Jiang Ning's heart. She has been in the palace for so long, and she is not used to the rules, and gradually she can't remember the distance between herself and Mu Jingzhao.

I don't know if it's Mu Jingzhao's arrogant appearance that makes her a little displeased, or the loss of the money that she got made her sad, or the grievance that she was let down for her painstaking efforts to help the other party win people's hearts.

Or all three of the above.

In short, a nameless anger surged from Jiang Ning's heart, she glared at Mu Jingzhao, her neck was stuck, and she refused to admit defeat.

"I worked hard to help you win people's hearts and let people know that you are sympathetic to your servants. Is that how you sympathize with your servants?"

Mu Jingzhao was startled by Jiang Ning's suddenly raised voice, but soon after he came back to his senses, a bit of anger appeared in his eyes.

You know, he has always been His Majesty the Emperor who is loved by thousands of people. In the whole world, anyone who sees him will kneel down three times and kowtow nine times.

Not to mention scolding him, I dare not show even the slightest disrespect.

But now, he was pointed at his nose and scolded, and the one who scolded him was a lowly storyteller on the street.

A nameless anger rose from the bottom of Mu Jingzhao's heart. His face was gloomy and terrifying. He lowered his head and looked directly into Jiang Ning's eyes. His dark eyes could not see any emotion.

"What is your identity? How dare you talk to me like that?"

The coercion around Mu Jingzhao made Jiang Ning tremble a little, and this sudden sense of oppression seemed to bring Jiang Ning back to reality in an instant.

In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to the night when she was forced to marry as a replacement, that high and mighty emperor who threw her life lightly out of the room and into the cold palace.

Even so, she still looked up at Mu Jingzhao neither humble nor overbearing.

Her disobedience to Mu Jingzhao was not because she had forgotten her identity, but because in her heart, the common people were far higher than the emperor.

The country has the people first and then the monarch, and the monarch is the choice of the people.

Therefore, the people are far above the monarch.

Jiang Ning still looked up at Mu Jingzhao neither humble nor overbearing, without any timidity in his eyes, "I am a subject of the emperor."

Mu Jingzhao stepped forward in two steps, and Jiang Ning was a little out of breath due to the huge pressure caused by the height difference between the two.

He stared at Jiang Ning, his eyes almost swallowed her alive.

"Subject? Since you know that you are a subject, you should follow the duty of a subject, be loyal to the emperor and love the country. The first rule is to be loyal to the emperor."

Mu Jingzhao's menacing gaze made Jiang Ning a little breathless.

Even so, she still stuck her neck stubbornly, unwilling to bow her head.

But at this moment, she was no longer willing to continue arguing with Mu Jingzhao.

Because she knows that what this person who is far away at the peak sees is not the same world as what a person who is at a low end like herself sees.

No matter how she shouted or called, he couldn't hear his own voice.

Finally, Jiang Ning lowered his head a little weakly, and voluntarily withdrew from the confrontation.

After all, even if she wanted to help Mu Jingzhao repair his relationship with his servants, it was an indisputable fact that she used Mu Jingzhao's name to make money for herself.

She let out a heavy breath, and let out a sound like a mosquito, "The concubine knows, the concubine will remember her identity."

After finishing speaking, she turned and left without further words.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning completely turned and left that Mu Jingzhao came to his senses belatedly. His expression was bewildered, as if he didn't realize what happened just now.

At this moment, his hands were completely dry, and the small pool of water under the palms had completely disappeared.

After a long time, Mu Jingzhao finally came back to his senses. He walked slowly to the desk that Jiang Ning had set up and took a seat, and his whole body collapsed powerlessly.

In the other corner, Zhe Liu fearfully watched the two people quarreled like needles pointed to wheat, and then quickly followed Jiang Ning into the room.

"Niang Niang." Zhe Liu cautiously called out to Jiang Ning, and without waiting for a response, she pushed open the door and walked in.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was facing the wall, curled up on the bed, as if he was asleep.

Zhe Liu hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly to Jiang Ning's bed and sat down, hesitantly put his palm on Jiang Ning's shoulder, "Are you having trouble with the emperor?"

Jiang Ning didn't say a word, she wasn't sad or even angry.

At this moment, there was only a ray of disappointment shrouded in her heart.

To herself, to Mu Jingzhao, or to this country.

She couldn't tell.

However, at this moment, Zhe Liu was only thinking of two young people arguing and flirting, and didn't take this matter to heart.

"Your Majesty, don't take it to heart. Our Emperor's temper is just like that. Please be patient." Zhe Liu said softly, and tapped his fingertips on Jiang Ning's arm, as if to comfort a wayward child.

Jiang Ning was full of helplessness and didn't know how to resolve it. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and turned over, and quickly walked to the side drawer.

She opened the drawer, took out the bulging money bag, and stuffed it into Zhe Liu's hand in a fit of anger.

"Help me take this thing and return it to the emperor."
