The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 323 Don't Talk Nonsense
Sun Xiaoxi got angry, of course Lian Jing had to run non-stop to the Temple of Thoughts to coax people, but as soon as he stepped into the Hall of Thoughts, Lian Jing was in trouble.

Ye Yan took the maids in the palace and dumped basins of cobblestones in front of him, paving a cobblestone road evenly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao said that if you want to see her, you have to take off your shoes and step over the cobblestones. You are not allowed to hum on the way. If you hum, you have to start again." Sun Xiaoxi ordered Ye Yan conveyed the words to Lian Jing verbatim.

Lian Jing raised his eyebrows, looking at Ye Yan as if he wanted to eat her up.

"What if I don't?" How could this be reasonable, the majestic king of a country wants him to walk barefoot?
"Then please come back, Your Majesty." Ye Yan made a gesture of invitation. In fact, she dared to offend the Emperor because she knew that she had the imperial concubine's backing. Given how much the emperor loved the imperial concubine, it's okay to walk barefoot, I'm afraid. If the imperial concubine wanted the stars and the moon in the sky, the emperor would have someone pick them off without hesitation.

Lian Jing clenched his fists, and really endured as Ye Yan thought. He took off his golden dragon pattern shoes and white socks, and stepped on the small pointed pebbles step by step.

Lian Jing had never walked on cobblestones barefoot, and the stimulating sensation of acupoint massage was transmitted directly from the soles of his feet to his brain.

Walking forward step by step, the speed is extremely slow.

While helping Lian Jing lift his shoes, Ye Yan watched him walk. Seeing that he was walking extremely hard, he couldn't help but wonder why the gravel road was so difficult.
Walking down the long stone road, Lian Jing felt as if he had walked thousands of miles, a bead of sweat flowed from his forehead, and Ye Yan put the shoes in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is in the bedroom."

Lian Jing put on his shoes angrily, and strode towards her room with veins on his forehead. He is now going to settle accounts with that dead woman!

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Sun Xiaoxi was eating roast chicken to fill her stomach. When she saw Lian Jing rushing in furiously, she waved the chicken leg to greet him.

"Hey Lian Jing, hurry up and have some roast meat." He pretended nothing happened on his face, but secretly cursed in his heart: This man is still in good health, after walking such a long stone road, He could still come here to settle accounts with her without changing his face.

What was Sun Xiaoxi thinking about, how could Lian Jing not know?Hei walked up to Sun Xiaoxi with a sullen face, grabbed her chicken leg with his big hand and threw it aside, he glared at her viciously.

"Sun Xiaoxi, why don't you trust me so much?"

"What does this have to do with belief or not? You've made me unhappy, can't I punish you?"

"Are you punishing me? In front of so many maids in your palace, you simply want to lose face for me!" If he hadn't held back the pain and yelled out just now, how embarrassing he would be!
"Hmph, in your heart is your face or mine more important?!" You can't even bear a little punishment, so why say you love her!

"You want to quarrel with me again?!" Lian Jing couldn't help raising his voice.

In private, he can let her make any trouble she wants, but in front of the servant, how can she not care about his face at all?In the future, she will still have such a temperament when she becomes a queen. How will he explain it to all civil and military officials? !
Seeing Lian Jing's complexion so unkind, Sun Xiaoxi's confidence began to lack. The condition for her waywardness was Lian Jing's connivance, but if Lian Jing got angry, she really didn't know what to do.

Biting Fenfen's lips, she puffed her cheeks and answered silently.

Lian Jing calmed herself down for a while, her black eyes swept towards her angry little face, her heart softened and she began to self-reflect contradictoryly: Was he very aggressive just now?I think should not be?

Sighing heavily, Lian Jing stepped up to Sun Xiaoxi, he bent down to look at her, and softened his voice, "I don't think you are unimportant, it's just... I am the emperor, it is true that I can accommodate you It's limited, and you can't always rely on my favor and do whatever you want and let others see my jokes, you know?"

Sun Xiaoxi suddenly felt as if a child had been taught a lesson by Lian Jing, and she felt a little blocked in her heart. The unhappiness and guilt made her suddenly want to cry.

Lian Jing saw that her eyes were red, and was afraid that she would cry, so he quickly reached out to hug her, he was most afraid that she would cry.

"Don't cry, I didn't scold you or quarrel with you, I just told you very calmly."

"Smelly man!" Sun Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and thumped his chest, "Don't you know that I will be even more sad when you say that!"

Lian Jing didn't dodge or dodge, he let her hit her, and when her anger subsided, he released her body lightly.

"You, when will I be relieved?" He touched her face, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and complained.

"Don't you just like that I don't worry about it? When I let you worry about it one day, you will think I'm boring." Sun Xiaoxi said forcefully.

Lian Jing lowered his eyes, smiled lowly, thinking about what she said, it was true.

"Xiaoxi." He softly called her name.

"Huh?" She hummed back, her voice a little absent-minded.

"Do you want to be my queen?"

"I think about it. I didn't think about it that way before, but now I'm thinking about it in a dream." Sun Xiaoxi rubbed Lian Jing's chest, and said in a delicate voice.

Lian Jing raised his hand and touched her head, opened his mouth slightly to say something, but finally didn't tell him.

He just talked to Xiangxiang and she was so angry. If he told her that being a queen has a price, wouldn't she be even more angry?

"By the way." Sun Xiaoxi pushed Lian Jing away, looked up at him eagerly, "What did you talk to little sister Yuan Xiangxiang just now? Could it be reminiscence?"

Lian Jing raised his hand and nodded her playful nose, and his thin lips raised a charming smile, "What do you think?"

"I don't want to listen to such ambiguous questions, just tell me the answer!"

"Of course the answer is nothing, I just regard her as my younger sister." Lian Jing looked at her dotingly, bowed his head and kissed her lips, "Don't worry blindly, and don't mistrust me so much."

"Lian Jing, it's not that I don't trust the relationship between us, it's just..." Sun Xiaoxi licked her lips, she didn't want to say it at first, but finally said, "Women, no matter what age they are, they will more or less know each other. There is some scheming, the innocent little girl you mentioned has grown up, it is impossible for her to have no thoughts about you."

"Xiaoxi, Xiangxiang is really not this kind of person." He watched her grow up, she was so innocent and considerate of others, he wanted to canonize her as queen at the beginning, just to give back a share of the harem Peace and quiet?
Well, since Lian Jing felt this way in his heart, then Sun Xiaoxi had nothing to say. After seeing people's hearts for a long time, whether Yuan Xiangxiang is such a person, he will soon know.

As the post-conferral days approached, a group of ministers headed by Prime Minister Yuan would bring up the canonization of Sun Xiaoxi and oppose it every time they went to court. Lian Jing was very annoyed every day when he went to court. The diehards headed by the prime minister are still chattering.

"As I said before, Sun Xiaoxi is not only my imperial concubine, but also the princess of Italy. When I negotiated peace with Italy, letting Concubine Xiao be the queen was one of the conditions for the peace negotiation. Now the prime minister wants me to go back on my word. ?"

"Does it mean that with our current strength of Lianlong, do we still need to negotiate peace with a mere country of Italy?! If the emperor hadn't loved the house and Wu, we would have taken Italy down long ago!"

"Three years ago when Lianlong was in a bitter fight, the country of Italy let us go. Now the prime minister wants Lianlong to be unkind?" Lian Zichen snorted coldly and said expressionlessly.

Why didn't he find this old thing so annoying before?
"Okay, let's not talk about Italy, let's talk about the emperor's harem. If Concubine Xiao really becomes a queen, will she ask the emperor to spoil her alone among the [-] people in your harem!"

"I can pet whoever I want, what have you got to do with the prime minister?!" Lian Jing also became impatient, and said in a bad tone.

"You can't say that, Your Majesty, you only have Princess Jingxi and your heirs are weak. If you still insist on pampering Concubine Xiao alone, who should inherit Lianlong's country?" Yuan Chengxiang was aggressive.

With a loud bang, Lian Jing slapped the armrest on the dragon chair, "How unreasonable! Is I dead now?!"

"Please forgive me, the emperor, the old minister has no such intention!"

"Okay! Back off, I've made up my mind, it's useless to persuade you!"

"Veterans will never give up. Even if the grand ceremony has not started after one day, veterans will not compromise easily!" Prime Minister Yuan's attitude was very firm.

After leaving the court early, Lian Jing's handsome eyebrows were already wrinkled. He has never been so troubled before, and now it is serious.

"Brother Huang, this matter is really difficult to solve. If you really want to help Sun Xiaoxi to be the queen, then you can accept Yuan Xiangxiang as your concubine, so that you can also shut the mouth of the prime minister." Lian Yu kindly Quite a suggestion.

"Lian Jing, I feel that you must not compromise on this matter. You know Xiaoxi's temperament. If you want to accept Yuan Xiangxiang as your concubine, she will definitely be unhappy." Lian Zichen's words were obviously inspired by Sun Xiaoxi. from the point of view.

Lian Jing was silent, Lian Yu and Lian Zichen looked at each other, and said: "Perhaps, you should discuss it with the emperor's wife."

Lian Jing sighed, and he nodded slightly.

On the other side, Yuan Xiangxiang came uninvited, and Sun Xiaoxi sat on the stool with her legs crossed, watching her walk over gracefully, the corners of her mouth twitched, she saw that she was about to walk in front of her, and then she stood up.

"Hey, what a rare guest, I don't know what the young lady of the prime minister's mansion is doing to come to my humble house today.

"Concubine Xiao's words are right..." Yuan Xiangxiang shook his head, smiled slightly, and bowed in front of his concubine, "Xiangxiang has met Concubine Xiao."

Sun Xiaoxi snorted coldly with disdain, "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, what are you doing here today?"
