The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 75

A few days later, the Hall of Peace——

Lian Jing's relegation of Sun Xiaoxi to the rank of maid made the whole palace known. It is not surprising that the Queen Mother would know about this and then pursue responsibility.

"Jing'er, why did you demote Xixi to be a court lady? How can the Ai family explain to Xixi's mother that you did this?" The queen mother looked dissatisfied.

"Mother, you are the queen mother of Lian Longguo, you are the queen mother, why do you have to explain to a commoner?" Lian Jing looked lazy, thinking that the queen mother's worry was unfounded.

"Prince, it's not right for you to speak like that. The Ai family and Xixi's mother had a sworn relationship in front of the Bodhisattva. They are like sisters. How can the Ai family watch you bully Xixi?" The queen mother said in a bad tone, "I don't care about Ai's family, you immediately order Xixi to turn back into a concubine."

The fact that Xixi can't be Jinger's queen has already made her feel very sorry for Xixi's mother, and now that Xixi is demoted to be a palace maid, she really feels ashamed of the Sun family.

"Mother, in fact, I..."

"Empress Dowager." A maid from the Hall of Anhe walked into the hall and reported: "Report to Empress Dowager, Prince Lian is seeking an audience outside the hall."

"Prince Lian?" The Queen Mother frowned, why did he come to the Hall of Peace?
Turning her gaze to Lian Jing with a lazy face, seeing that he looked confident, the Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and said to the little maid: "Prince Lian, please come in."

Lian Zichen was dressed in purple and his figure was tall and straight. He walked slowly into the hall, with a warm and happy smile always on the corner of his mouth.

Arching his hands, he saluted respectfully, "See the Queen Mother"

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, "Prince Lian, excuse me."

Lian Zichen stood up straight and looked sideways at Lian Jing. Unexpectedly, Lian Jing was here today, he hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "So the emperor is here too."

Lian Jing smiled arrogantly, and said in a cold voice, "It's rare that the emperor's uncle will come to visit the queen mother."

"This king is here today, and he really wants to ask the Queen Mother for something." Lian Zichen cast his eyes on the Queen Mother, smiling as gracefully as a fairy.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother smiled and asked curiously, "I wonder if Prince Lian has any important requests?"

"The king wants a court lady." Lian Zichen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Lady?" If it's just a maid, she is Prince Lian, and she should sell him to others for public and private purposes. After all, he is the younger brother of the former emperor.

It's just... Could it be the court lady he wanted?

The Empress Dowager looked at Lian Jing, and saw Lian Jing smiling without changing his face. Seeing this, she continued to ask: "Which palace lady does Prince Lian want?"

"This king wants Sun Xiaoxi." Lian Zichen raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Lian Jing provocatively.

Hearing this, the queen mother was silent for a while, is it really Xixi?Frowning, she turned her gaze to Lian Jing.

Lian Jing received the Queen Mother's gaze, stood up from the chair with a smile, and answered him directly, "Impossible."

"Why not? As far as this king knows, Sun Xiaoxi is just a court lady now, but she is no longer your concubine." Lian Zichen raised a faint smile, looking at Lian Jing with friendly eyes, not at all Like a bad guy who wants to steal other people's things.

"Uncle Emperor, who told you that Sun Xiaoxi is a palace maid and not a concubine?" Lian Jing sneered, and asked again: "Did Uncle Huang see the decree to abolish my concubine with his own eyes? Did Uncle Huang find out about Sun Xiaoxi's current situation?" Condition?"

"Apart from her going to the imperial dining room to do odd jobs and play every morning, there is nothing that indicates that she is not my concubine."

The smile on the corner of Lian Zichen's mouth was gone, what did he mean by that?
Could it be that Sun Xiaoxi wasn't abolished by him, and didn't even have an imperial decree to demote her to be a court lady?

"Sun Xiaoxi is still my concubine. She will go to the imperial dining room to be a court lady. It's just a small punishment from me for her restless behavior. If you don't believe me, you can go to Xiaoxuan Palace to see the living room inside. The person in question is still not my Concubine Xiao."

Lian Zichen's complexion began to turn from white to blue, and he was actually swayed by the emperor.

Lian Jing continued to sneer at Bi Ni's words, "Uncle Huang thinks that if Sun Xiaoxi provokes me to demote her to be a court lady, he can take her out of the palace with the Queen Mother? Uncle Huang, are you underestimating me? "

However, if Sun Xiaoxi hadn't looked at Lian Zichen with such help-seeking eyes in front of the Golden Luan Hall that day, he really wouldn't have guessed what the two of them were planning. After all, he had warned Sun Xiaoxi about that dead woman before, but She obviously didn't listen!
Thinking of this, Lian Jing felt angry when he couldn't fight.

Lian Zichen nodded knowingly, the corners of his mouth curled up, playful: "It seems that the emperor has put a lot of thought into Concubine Xiao, and I don't know who made the promise in front of the late emperor so swearingly. , Said that she would never value women more than Jiangshan in her whole life."

"Does the emperor want to break his promise now?"

Lian Jing frowned, this was the most worrying thing for him now, but now Lian Zichen used it as a talking point.

Seeing that the aura of the two of them was a bit tense, the queen mother pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, what's the matter with you two uncles and nephews? Every time you meet, you have to make the atmosphere so stiff." It's cold, it's all a family, why bother attacking each other like this."

Hearing this, Lian Zichen sneered, "Queen Mother, this king is just reminding the emperor."

"The son of the Ai family, the Ai family will naturally teach him, and Prince Lian does not need to worry about this." After a pause, she gave him another step, "If Prince Lian came today to ask for a maid from the Ai family, Except for Sun Xiaoxi, you can dance as you please, as for other things, Prince Lian won't bother you."

The Empress Dowager's words were so obvious, Lian Zichen would not force it any longer, he cupped his hands, and returned to the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then this king doesn't need other court ladies, but Queen Mother, don't say that this king doesn't want to remind you for the sake of the emperor's brother, the emperor is not only your son, but also the emperor of the people in the world." After the words fell, he He gave Lian Jing a meaningful look, turned around and walked out of the Hall of Peace.

Lian Jing's hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands appeared angrily.

The queen mother looked at Lian Jing worriedly, "Jing'er, you don't have to take what Prince Lian said, after all, the queen mother doesn't want you to..."

"Mother," Lian Jing interrupted the Empress Dowager's words in a cold voice, "I will never forget the promise I made to my father. Don't worry."

After the words fell, he waved his sleeves expressionlessly, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Lian Jing's stubborn back, the queen mother sighed lightly, taking the happiness of her life as a prank, how could she, as a mother, be at ease?
