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

Chapter 71
"I'm not close to him, and there's never been any talk of reconciliation." Jiang Ning said a word coldly, without any loosening of expression.

If she had forgotten her identity before, then what happened between her and Mu Jingzhao two days ago was like drawing a huge gap between the two of them.

Such a chasm-like chasm lay in front of Jiang Ning nakedly, reminding her all the time to remember her identity.

Jiang Ning's words completely killed all Zheliu's expectations in the cradle.

She sighed secretly, thinking that her good life would not come easily after all.

So, she paused and patted Jiang Ning's shoulder lightly, "The servant girl will go talk to the emperor first."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, then picked up the brush again and began to think.

In fact, she knew very well that if she wanted to prepare a birthday party for Liu Jinfu, asking Mu Jingzhao was undoubtedly the best choice.

Even if Mu Jingzhao couldn't give her any attention, at least, if there is a suggestion from the other party, he can handle it properly.

But she doesn't want to.

It wasn't until Zhe Liu quickly left that she finally lowered her head and continued to study her own things.

Concentrate on it like nothing happened.

Rushing to the courtyard, Mu Jingzhao was still looking down at the unremarkable vegetable field in front of him, with a calm and gentle expression, without any impatience.

Hearing Zhe Liu's footsteps, he looked up, with undisguised anticipation growing in his eyes.

This kind of expectation made Zheliu, who got nothing, feel a little embarrassed.

She turned her face away unnaturally, avoiding Mu Jingzhao's gaze.

"How about it?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Mu Jingzhao turned his head away as if realizing that his behavior was wrong, so that Zhe Liu could not see his expression.

"Your Majesty said." Zhe Liu panted heavily, trying to use this method to buy time for herself, "she said."

Apparently, the emperor didn't buy into her delay. He still couldn't be as patient as he was with Jiang Ning, "Hurry up."

Zhe Liu was glanced at by him like that, and immediately retracted her neck in embarrassment, "Your Majesty said, she can help you, but there is an exchange."

When Zhe Liu said this, Mu Jingzhao's face reappeared with anticipation, "What conditions?"

"Actually, it's about the imperial concubine's birthday banquet." Zhe Liu sighed, and had an idea in his mind, "These days, the empress stays in the house and makes plans every day. She can't eat well, and she can't sleep well. .She has always wanted to ask you, but she really can't hold back."

Mu Jingzhao curled his lips slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was fleeting, "I can't hold back my face, do you still want me to come to her door to apologize?"

Zheliu's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Mu Jingzhao cautiously, for fear that she would accidentally offend this living ancestor.

"You can't say that, Your Majesty." Zhe Liu leaned closer to Mu Jingzhao, and said in a low voice, "Our empress thinks about you in everything, so I can only cover myself with the matter of the imperial concubine empress. Several times, the servants saw her lying on the table and secretly wiping tears."

Mu Jingzhao's face changed suddenly, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, Your Majesty, think about it, the empress loves money so much that she is willing to give the cabbage she has planted for several months to the palace servants for free in your name for free for your good reputation. Sincerely!"

Mu Jingzhao's expression softened a little, but even so, he still didn't want to believe that Jiang Ning did all this for himself.

"Although our empress doesn't care about anything on the surface, but what you care about, she has been waiting for you." Zhe Liu said word by word.

In her eyes, whether Jiang Ning is storytelling or transferring the land, it is all to leave a good reputation for Mu Jingzhao,

Originally, she also thought that Jiang Ning was just using Mu Jingzhao to make money by doing these things.

But it wasn't until the last time that Jiang Ning gave away the hard-plowed vegetables for free that she realized that she had misunderstood Jiang Ning.

All the hard work she did was to give Mu Jingzhao a good reputation, so that this little emperor whose foundation was not stable could win the hearts of the people.

"There is also the matter of storytelling. She can invent other things, but she chooses you as the protagonist. Why?"

In fact, this has always been something Mu Jingzhao couldn't understand. It stands to reason that she should have hated him for sending her out of the cold palace on his wedding night.

But in this way, she set up an image of a good man with deep affection in front of the palace people, why?
"There is also the peacock feather hairpin. In order to help you stabilize the harem, the empress even went over the wall late at night to beg the imperial concubine."

The more Zhe Liu said that, the more indignant he felt.

She and Jiang Ning, on the surface, are master and servant, but in fact they exist like sisters.

In her opinion, Jiang Ning just refused to admit it, but she still cared about Mu Jingzhao in her heart.

The more she felt this way, the more she felt worthless for Jiang Ning.

Mu Jingzhao's mind paused for two seconds, and he even felt that he was almost trapped by the broken willow, "It's not because of the 10 taels of silver."

"10 taels of silver is the price you called out, and in the end, it was not transferred to the empress."

Seeing Zheliu's emotions getting more and more agitated, Mu Jingzhao closed his mouth inexplicably guilty.

"Our lady has worked so hard for your reputation, but you, you don't appreciate it, and even said such exaggerated things to my lady, it really hurt my lady's heart."

Strangely, Mu Jingzhao was reprimanded by this ignorant little girl in front of him, but he wasn't annoyed at all.

On the contrary, he even began to wonder if he really failed Jiang Ning's good intentions.

Whether it's storytelling or farming, he can convince himself that it's Jiang Ning's greed for money.

But he really couldn't find a reason for her giving the cabbage to everyone in the harem for free in his own name.

Mu Jingzhao fell into a brief silence, and he was completely unable to refute Zheliu's words.

"Your majesty, our empress is devoted to you, you must not let our empress feel cold because of these things."

As Zheliu said, some crystal tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes.

She looked at Mu Jingzhao with a sad face, hoping that he would realize her painstaking efforts as soon as possible.

After all, if he doesn't let go, he really can't make up anything else.

However, Mu Jingzhao was not as decisive as she imagined, on the contrary, he fell into a long silence.
