Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 74 Being the Prince's Teacher
"Jie'er...what did you say?" the queen asked with a puzzled expression.

"Earlier, Erchen was caught and beaten by an assassin in a remote place in the Royal Garden. Thanks to the timely appearance of the sixth aunt, the assassin was afraid of alarming others, so he had to let him go. So it was the sixth aunt who rescued Erchen." Chu Jie continued. .

Hearing this, the Queen's face was a little uneasy, and she confirmed again and again: "Is this really the case?"

"Yes." Chu Jie nodded emphatically, "I haven't thanked my sixth aunt yet."

After finishing speaking, Chu Jie walked up to Lin Zijiang, bowed to her, then raised his head and said, "Thank you, Aunt Six, for saving my life."

His tone was very sincere, but there was a sly look in his eyes. Of course, because his back was turned to others, only Lin Zijiang saw it.

Although her heart was full of suspicion, her face remained calm.She walked over to help Chu Jie up, and said, "The prince is polite."

Seeing this, the queen said to Chu Yue and Lin Zijiang in embarrassment: "So that's the case. I just wrongly blamed Princess Yue, please forgive me."

"The empress is also eager to love her son, and I can understand it." Lin Zijiang said generously.Then he patted Chu Yue's hand calmly, indicating that he was fine.

But Chu Yue still stood in front of her and was in a stalemate with the guards in front of her, the scene was a bit awkward.

Chu Jing also realized it immediately, and instructed the guards in front of them, "Go down quickly!"

"Yes." Chu Yue didn't return to his position until the guards stepped back.

"Queen, you should take Jie'er down first to apply some wound medicine," Chu Jing ordered.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

"My son retire."

When Chu Jie turned around, he gave Lin Zijiang another meaningful look.This made Lin Zijiang a little uneasy. Didn't that brat get so many wounds on his body to testify that she beat him?But why did he give up when he succeeded?And that kid also said that he was his benefactor?

Although Lin Zijiang didn't know what the kid from Chu Jie was up to, she found that this kid was not what she thought. He was not just a spoiled playboy, he was also very smart and even very scheming.

"Ahem..." After the queen left with the prince, Chu Jing said with some embarrassment: "This is just a misunderstanding, let's continue the dinner."

After all, he deliberately took a look at Chu Yue.Fortunately, Lin Zijiang was not the one who beat the prince, otherwise he would have torn face with Chu Yue today, or he would not be able to step down.But he didn't understand it very much. Logically speaking, Lin Zijiang was the ugly girl he used to humiliate Chu Yue. Chu Yue should have hated her very much. Why would he protect her so much today?

Then, more than [-] court ladies carrying exquisite silver plates came over and placed the dishes in their hands on everyone's table one by one.

Lin Zijiang swallowed unconsciously as he looked at the delicate dishes that he didn't know the names of.She was already hungry because dancing took a lot of energy.What's more, these are delicacies from mountains and seas in front of her, and she can't help drooling when she sees them.

However, she could only watch...not eat! ! !

Because the time for the dinner was delayed, everyone was already hungry.So when the dishes were served, everyone couldn't wait to start, only Lin Zijiang sat there motionless like a sculpture.

Chu Jing also noticed her strangeness, and thought that he would take this opportunity to resolve the previous unhappiness with her, so he asked, "Why doesn't Princess Yue eat it? Is it because the queen misunderstood you just now?" Are you angry?"

"Your majesty is overthinking, I have already forgotten what happened just now. Besides, the dishes in the palace are all delicacies, so how could it be unappetizing?" Lin Zijiang replied flatteringly.

"Then...why don't you move your chopsticks?" Chu Jing continued to ask.

"Eh... because..." Lin Zijiang bit her lips with black lines all over her face. If she said that it was because she was wearing a veil and it was inconvenient to eat, then Chu Jing and Li Fei would seize the opportunity to let her take off the veil. ?
So Lin Zijiang gritted his teeth and said, "Because my concubine is... losing weight recently."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was full of doubts, and the emperor was even more puzzled and asked, "Loose...weight?"

"Uh...it's dieting. Because the prince likes women who are as weak as willows and breezes, this concubine is trying to diet recently and try to be thinner." Lin Zijiang explained.There was no other way, she could only use Chu Yue as a shield again.

But as soon as she said this, all the female relatives present silently stopped the chopsticks in their hands.The reason is simple, women love comparisons.When you see a woman who is thinner and more beautiful than you, and is working harder than you to lose weight, do you still have the nerve to eat it?

Moreover, all the men present stared at Chu Yue with envious eyes. Everyone's inner monologue was: to cater to the hobbies of their husbands and strictly demand their own beauties, this is simply the perfect lover in every man's heart!What kind of shit luck did you have to marry such a good woman?

However, Chu Yue directly ignored the eyes of those people, but ate his own food, and deliberately ate it deliciously.Lin Zijiang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't bear it anymore, she swallowed again, approached Chu Yue, and said softly, "Can you eat in a low-key way, I'm almost starving to death, and you still eat so deliciously! "

However, Chu Yue just gave her a blank look, and said, "My concubine, you are on a diet because I like delicate women. I also remember that you like strong men, so it is for you... that I eat so much!"

Lin Zijiang knew that he was deliberately taking revenge on himself, so he turned his face to the side and hypnotized himself in his heart: "I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry!..."

At this moment, the queen also returned to the banquet.

"How is Jie'er?" Chu Jing asked concerned.

The queen sighed softly, and said: "The imperial doctor checked, and there are some skin injuries on her body. But it's okay, nothing serious."

"That's good." Chu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lin Zijiang and said, "However, this time, we should really thank Princess Yue."

"The emperor is serious." Lin Zijiang immediately stood up, humbly blessed Fushen and said.When she sat down again, she secretly reached out and took two pearl balls on the dinner plate.Thinking about stuffing it into your mouth secretly from under the veil later when everyone is not paying attention.

At this time, the queen gave Lin Zijiang a complicated look, and then said to Chu Jing, "Your Majesty, just now that kid from Jie'er has been pestering the concubine, begging the concubine to ask the emperor to promise him something."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Chu Jing asked.

"Jie'er said... that he wants Princess Yue to enter the palace to be his teacher."

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang shook his hands in surprise, and the two pearl balls rolled to the ground.

At this moment, she was both shocked by what she heard just now and distressed by the pearl balls that fell on the ground, her mood was really complicated.
