Concubine Jinghua

Chapter 74 A Cowardly Woman Doesn't Worth Standing By My Side

Although she arrived at the palace smoothly, Ji Chenxi knew that the next thing would be her biggest test.

Under the leadership of a young eunuch, the two quickly came to the Ganlong Palace where the emperor was. Seeing the magnificent palace with golden walls and full of the unique dignity and domineering power of the royal family, Ji Chenxi, who has always been bold, still felt a little bit disturbed.

"You are here." A majestic and domineering voice rang in Ji Chenxi's ears, and she raised her head subconsciously.

He is so courageous, worthy of being the current emperor, and he is very different from the emperor in the 21st century TV dramas.Below the emperor sat some princes and princesses that Ji Chenxi didn't know, and below them, there were some ministers, even his own father, who had no family affection, was among them, but his sitting position made people feel uncomfortable. His presence is barely visible.

"You still haven't greeted the emperor?"

The empress, who was sitting next to the emperor, showed displeasure, and her tone was equally majestic and terrifying.

Ji Chenxi, just do as the Romans do, and take a fall.

Thinking of Ji Chenxi here, she raised her skirt and was about to kneel down like how she worshiped the emperor in TV dramas.

"unnecessary."

Li Jianyang directly pulled Ji Chenxi up with an unusually cold voice.

"Grassman Li Jianyang pays respects to the emperor."

"Xi'er pays respects to the emperor."

Seeing that Li Jianyang just cupped his hands and made a bow without any intention of kneeling down, Ji Chenxi also followed the gourd and made a gesture.

Li Jianyang, are you not afraid of death?Unexpectedly...you didn't kneel down to pay respects to the emperor, and...moreover, there was a kind of disdain in your eyes.

Fearing that the emperor would be furious and punish the disrespectful Li Jianyang, Ji Chenxi's little hands were tightly held together.I was afraid that the next thing I heard would be the order that Li Jianyang be pushed out and beheaded.

"Give a seat."

What Ji Chenxi didn't expect was that the current emperor not only didn't get angry, but ordered the guards to move the chair to Li Jianyang, and the position was just under his right hand.

Even though he is not very clear about ancient etiquette, Ji Chenxi knows that this position is definitely a position that can make all his subjects envy and jealous.

Especially when she touched Ji Lichen's eyes that seemed to kill Li Jianyang, she confirmed her guess even more.

"Jianyang, you are the first person allowed by the emperor to bring weapons to the palace. This honor is really beyond the reach of our brothers."

Ji Lichen raised his eyebrows with a half-smile and said, and the princes around him also responded loudly, their words full of envy.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Jianyang's eyes.

"If the prince is dissatisfied with bringing weapons into the palace, you may as well tell the emperor directly, after all, this is the emperor's permission, isn't it?"

Li Jianyang lightly gave Ji Lichen a soft nail.

"Li Jianyang, do you hate the emperor? Why do I see a flash of hatred in your eyes?" Ji Chenxi asked softly in Li Jianyang's ear while the emperor was talking with other princes.

She must ask clearly, because she doesn't want to die without knowing why.

"Remember, my young master's death is connected with you. If you don't want to die, just be good to me." The voice mixed with the cold hail and the looming murderous aura made Ji Chenxi gasp.

"Jianyang, today is the emperor's banquet, I offer you a toast."

A man walked up to Li Jianyang with a deliberately ingratiating smile on his face.

Ji Chenxi clearly saw that Li Jianyang, who had a murderous look on his face just now, returned to his unrestrained smile in an instant. Such a change made Ji Chenxi feel inferior. A man who can hide hatred in his heart and keep a calm face is definitely a A rare man in the world.

"You are Yang'er's wife?" Ji Chenxi was once again shocked by the emperor's address to Li Jianyang, but she still had the elegant and noble smile on her face.

"Xi'er and her husband agree in love."

The decent and generous demeanor and gentle voice immediately aroused the emperor's favor.Although the emperor's eyes remained on her body, Ji Chenxi knew that his eyes, which glanced at Li Jianyang from time to time, were full of pain and... Guilt.

"Your Majesty, the lord of the neighboring country has sent an envoy to send congratulatory gifts." A young eunuch said in a thin voice below the emperor.

"Xuan."

With little effort, a man with well-defined facial features and a wild and unrestrained aura walked into the hall.

"My subject, Li Mu, sees the emperor."

The person who came directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Get up."

After the simple greetings, the visitor ordered his subordinates to deliver the congratulatory gift to the emperor.

"What a majestic painting." Seeing the majestic calligraphy and painting with thousands of galloping horses, the emperor couldn't help showing joy.

Although there is only one painting, it is extremely precious and priceless, especially for the current emperor who has always been obsessed with calligraphy and painting, it is undoubtedly the most important gift.

"Father, I heard that Mrs. Li has always studied calligraphy and painting quite well, so I can take this opportunity to let the envoys of neighboring countries see how amazing and talented the women of our dynasty are."

Seeing the obvious smile on Ji Lichen's face, Ji Chenxi wished he could throw the cup in his hand at his face.

"Jianyang, can you let Xi'er..." The emperor's cautious tone made Ji Chenxi even more curious about the relationship between him and Li Jianyang.

"Caomin heard that the crown prince's concubine is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You might as well invite the crown prince to discuss with the envoys from neighboring countries."

Li Jianyang's black pupils, like a deep pool of water, were so deep that he couldn't guess any of his thoughts.

"My son is willing."

The woman who had been sitting on Ji Lichen's right hand stood up slightly, and her spring-like voice drew Ji Chenxi's attention back.

The emperor nodded with a kind smile on his face.

The woman came directly to the envoy of the neighboring country, her charming pupils scanning the painting.

"Majestic, lifelike, and lifelike, it is simply the best in the painting. The ruler of the neighboring country really has a heart."

In just a few words, everyone saw that the Crown Princess's demeanor was leisurely, noble and elegant.

"I've finished talking about this king's woman, Ji Chenxi, it's your turn." His woman was appreciated by everyone, which made Ji Lichen's face proud and proud, and a condensed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Jianyang, you can stop it, as long as you don't want to, I don't have to be so embarrassing." Ji Chenxi gently pulled Li Jianyang's sleeve, and said in a low voice.

"My young master's woman is a woman with stage fright?" Not only did Li Jianyang not intend for anyone to help, but he directly pulled Ji Chenxi up and pushed her to the side of the princess, with the obvious intention of letting her settle things down by herself. With a touch of schadenfreude.

Li Jianyang also wanted to know how many surprises the different Ji Chenxi would bring to him, and how many layers of her mysterious veil remained?
The Crown Princess wore a noble red dress, while Ji Chenxi was only dressed in plain clothes. Even with pearls and jade on her head, compared with the Crown Princess of that dynasty, she was still a little out of reach.

This caused the ministers in the audience to start talking. Hearing everyone's praise for the princess, Ji Lichen had an arrogant and proud smile on his face.

"At the prince's kind invitation, Xi'er speaks without shame. If there is something wrong, I ask the emperor to forgive me." Ji Chenxi bowed profusely, and the corners of her mouth like petals evoked a faint smile. The startled smile made her look like a white lotus flower quietly blooming in the lotus pond in summer, elegant and revealing a bit of aura.
