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

Chapter 84
"Your majesty! Your majesty's concubines have short legs and can't keep up. Majesty, please slow down a little!"

Jiang Ning was dragged stumblingly by Mu Jingzhao, almost being dragged to the ground several times.

She gritted her teeth, and cursed in her heart that this man didn't know what was wrong with him. Not long ago, he straightened her hair with a smile on her face. In the blink of an eye, she looked as if she wanted to throw herself into the pond.

Sure enough, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, Jiang Ning secretly sighed.

She trotted closely behind Mu Jingzhao, barely able to keep up with him.

"Your Majesty, please slow down a little!"

Countless times, Jiang Ning's swear words have come to his lips, and in the end he forcibly endured it because he was worried that Mu Jingzhao would cheat and not give him money.

"Your Majesty!" she shouted again.

Seeing that the other party was still unresponsive, Jiang Ning couldn't bear it anymore and pinched the back of Mu Jingzhao's hand with his nails.

Mu Jingzhao gasped, and withdrew his hand as if electrocuted.

Jiang Ning felt relieved, bent over, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.

"What are you doing?" Mu Jingzhao raised his hand and saw five clearly identifiable fingernail marks near the tiger's mouth on his right hand.

The nail print was extremely deep, the concave part was slightly white, and the translucent skin was scraped to the side, oozing a little bit of bright red blood.

Jiang Ning looked up, his cheeks were already flushed.

"You asked me what I was doing, but I was asking what you want to do?"

Just as the anger in his heart was vented a little, Jiang Ning felt that he had slipped his words, and shrank his neck resentfully, for fear that Mu Jingzhao would settle accounts with him.

However, Mu Jingzhao didn't speak for a long time, but looked at Jiang Ning who was sweating profusely with confused eyes.

It seemed that it was only at this time that he finally realized the abnormality of his behavior belatedly.

Even he himself didn't know where the anger came from, and what trend led him to make such a move.

Looking at Jiang Ning's mournful expression, disheveled hair and profuse sweat, he felt deeply that his behavior was inappropriate.

"sorry."

Jiang Ning's eyes widened in astonishment, and he straightened his back in an instant, ready to ask Mu Jingzhao to lose money.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jingzhao took a quicker step and grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist to drag her away.

However, this time his movements were obviously much gentler than not long ago.

"Don't worry about asking me for compensation, my treasury is almost emptied."

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes, thinking that the other party can really talk nonsense.

Even so, she still didn't say anything, and just let Mu Jingzhao drag her forward.

"You don't have to be too nervous later, you just need to remember that you are the real prime minister's daughter."

Jiang Ning nodded, thinking about the looks of those rich young ladies whom he had seen in his memory.

For her, such imitation can be regarded as a piece of cake.

"If someone asks something and you don't know how to answer it, you just nod and smile, and don't worry about anything else."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but nodded again, silently remembering what Mu Jingzhao said.

Although Mu Jingzhao's style of handling things really made her a little confused.

But she probably also understood in her heart that a large part of what the other party did was to prevent herself from being exposed.

So he swallowed all the complaints in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Jingzhao dragged Jiang Ning to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The old eunuch Li Zinian saw the two of them and rushed forward to meet them.

"Oh, my long live lord, you told the servant to go and see your mother, why did you go there for so long?"

Li Zinian complained about Mu Jingzhao, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Jiang Ning who was in a mess.

Immediately, he lowered his head slightly, and a somewhat malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Have all the guests arrived?"

Li Zinian nodded repeatedly.

"I've been waiting for a long time."

"Go and prepare the sedan chair."

"Yes."

Li Zinian agreed, and then quickly ran away.

Mu Jingzhao pulled Jiang Ning over, and carefully helped her straighten the broken hair on her forehead, "Don't be nervous, everything depends on me."

After finishing Jiang Ning's hair, he tilted his head and looked at her carefully for a moment, then patted her lightly on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, everything is up to me."

Seeing his serious face, Jiang Ning nodded in the same way.

Inexplicably, she had a wonderful illusion in her heart that she and Mu Jingzhao were a couple of lovers who had just begun to fall in love, and they were about to visit the elders of the family together.

However, this illusion only lasted for a short second in her heart.

After all, there is a distance like a natural barrier between himself and Mu Jingzhao.

This is a gap that cannot be bridged under any circumstances.

"Let's go."

As Mu Jingzhao spoke, he dragged Jiang Ning into the hall involuntarily.

"Excuse me, everyone has been waiting for a long time." Mu Jingzhao said so, standing still in the hall.

In the hall, the people who came to the banquet had already been settled in their respective seats, and the leaders were three men who were nearly middle-aged.

One of them was thin and plainly dressed, but he didn't look like a dignitary at all.

Standing behind the other two, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning who was standing beside Mu Jingzhao.

This kind of gaze made Jiang Ning a little uncomfortable. She looked in the direction of her gaze, and the moment her eyes made contact, the other party quickly avoided it like an electric shock.

Thinking that that person should be Jiang Qingyuan, Jiang Ning made a decision in his heart.

The forces in the harem have always been deeply involved with the previous dynasty, and there are countless eyeliners planted in the harem.

The fact that Jiangning was in charge of the imperial concubine's birthday banquet has long been known to everyone.

Coupled with the fact that Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning entered the hall hand in hand in front of everyone in such a dignified manner, everyone present thought they had made up their minds about Jiang Ning's identity.

When everyone saw Mu Jingzhao, they quickly got up from their seats and bowed to Mu Jingzhao.

"Your Majesty is auspicious."

Mu Jingzhao waved his hand, "Quickly excuse me."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the emperor is still as handsome as before." A short, fat middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed to Mu Jingzhao.

The man's face was full of oil, and his smile drove the fat on his face to squeeze his eyes into two narrow slits. The well-embroidered official uniform was completely wrinkled by the fat all over his body.

The smell of greasy copper all over his body, presumably is the queen's father Shen Tong, Jiang Ning thought absently.

"Uncle is absurd, but uncle is still young and looks the same as before!" Mu Jingzhao smiled brightly.

Such an occasion made Jiang Ning feel uncomfortable for no reason, so she turned her face away, ignoring the polite greetings of the two of them.

"Where are the servants so ignorant? Why don't you back down!"

Just when Jiang Ning's gaze unconsciously swept across a tall and vigorous middle-aged man, she was scolded for no reason.

Jiang Ning didn't feel anything special about the other party's scolding, he just felt that he was ashamed all day long, even if he was admitted wrong, it was justified.

"This is my concubine Ning." Mu Jingzhao defended at the right time.

Unexpectedly, this simple sentence instantly drew everyone's attention to Jiang Ning.
