Chapter 100
"But her identity will always imprison her," Han Wanxin frowned slightly, and said with a little uneasiness, "She is the daughter of a merchant, and after all, she will not be able to make a name for herself. It's hard to convince the emperor to make her a concubine."

Seemingly snorting shallowly, the Empress Dowager said: "Identity is just an excuse, and whatever identity the Ai family wants to give her, she can have any identity!"

Han Wanxin was puzzled by these words, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows to look at the Empress Dowager, and asked suspiciously: "What does the emperor's grandmother mean by this, why can't I understand?"

"It won't be long before you will understand the mystery."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager covered her face and yawned, Han Wanxin couldn't ask any more questions, so she bowed to pay her respects and slowly backed out.

After the eldest grandson Jingrong came out of the palace, his complexion became slightly solemn, which made Bihe and Qiao Shan'er look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened in the palace, and made the always calm eldest grandson Jingrong change his expression.

The two girls secretly pushed each other's elbows, and finally, Qiao Shan'er couldn't resist Bihe's winks again and again, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "Miss, what are you unhappy about in the palace?" what happened?"

As if he just came back to his senses, Changsun Jingrong looked at the two girls in front of him, his eyes seemed to be confused, and asked, "What did you just say?"

Bi He thought that Qiao Shan'er's voice was too low, and her eldest grandson Jingrong couldn't hear clearly, so she moved forward anxiously and said, "Miss, did you suffer any grievances in the palace? If so, you can Say it, don't hold it in your heart and suffer alone, it will make you feel better!"

With one hand on his cheek, Changsun Jingrong looked at Bi He lazily, and said, "What do you think I can suffer in the palace?"

"How does this servant know, but it must be related to the people in the palace," Bi He said with a confident look, "Although the servants can't help much, at least they can accompany you."

Seeing Bihe's silly look, Changsun Jingrong felt amused and warm at the same time, so he reached out and patted her cheek lightly, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about it, it's just that There are a lot of things in the past few days, and I'm just a little irritable, just relax."

Changsun Jingrong's original plan was to take a rest after returning home, and then go shopping on the street to change his mood.But when the three of them returned to the palace, they found a strange carriage parked there, and the butler was standing outside the door with a sad face, looking helpless.

After seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong, the butler ran over and said angrily: "Princess, you are finally back, go in and have a look, the mansion will be demolished by that woman!"

Frowning slightly, Changsun Jingrong asked as he walked, "Talk slowly, what's going on?"

Swallowing his saliva, the housekeeper was about to say something when he saw three or five big men coming from behind, carrying boxes in their hands, and shouted repeatedly: "Get out of the way."

Being dragged aside by Bi He, Changsun Jingrong frowned involuntarily as she looked at those arrogant backs, and walked towards the mansion at a faster pace, she really wanted to see who dared to stir up trouble under her nose.

Before reaching the front hall, Changsun Jingrong saw a charming figure standing in front, directing dozens of men to keep carrying things, and occasionally a scent wafted over, fresh and elegant.

But now nothing can stop Changsun Jingrong from bursting into anger, she slowly stepped forward a few steps, and said with a sneer: "I said who sent such a generous gift, it turned out to be Miss Ji!"

Hearing the voice, Ji Haitang turned around leisurely, dismissed her eldest grandson Jingrong with disdain, and said in a frivolous tone: "You really put gold on your face, these things are all for sister Lingruo, and What's the relationship with you? I said a long time ago, don't be too arrogant, sooner or later this place will belong to sister Lingruo, and now she will come back soon, she must not be used to living in a place managed by a businesswoman, so I will clean up this place After all, sister Lingruo cannot be allowed to live in such a dirty place when she comes back!"

Ji Haitang's words were too much, and the people around were filled with righteous indignation, but the eldest grandson Jingrong kept looking at Ji Haitang with a smile, but that smile made people feel chills for no reason.

Slowly approaching Ji Haitang, the eldest grandson Jingrong saw a cup of cold tea on the stone table, the corner of his mouth was pursed playfully, then he lifted it up and splashed it head-on at Ji Haitang!

"what!"

Ji Haitang didn't expect that this lowly woman would dare to splash herself in public, she was so angry that she was going crazy, staring at her eldest grandson Jingrong fiercely, wishing she could rush over and tear this woman's face right away!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Changsun Jingrong threw the cup aside, wiped his hands casually with a handkerchief, looked sideways at Ji Haitang, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "How are you, are you awake?"

It's winter now, and it's very cold. Drinking a glass of water like this will definitely make people feel cold.The servants around Ji Haitang were afraid of freezing her, so they hurriedly wiped her long hair with a handkerchief, but Ji Haitang didn't know whether she was cold or angry, her lips were a little purple, and she was still shivering.

Although Bi He also found Ji Haitang distasteful, but she was a lady official after all, so splashing it like this would not only make her lose face, but also her body might be damaged, it would be bad if the lady and the prince were blamed.At that moment, Bi He kept looking at her eldest grandson Jingrong, thinking that as long as her master spoke soft words, she would go find a blanket and a stove right away, so as not to freeze the woman to death.But Changsun Jingrong kept looking at Ji Haitang with a smile, as if confronting each other, without any intention of giving in.

"Ah-ah-choo!"

In the end, it was still Ji Haitang who couldn't hold back, and sneezed loudly, throwing out the snot, really embarrassing.And once this atmosphere was broken, Ji Haitang lost a bit of momentum, and could only speak harsh words first to maintain his face.

Pointing at the elder grandson Jingrong, Ji Haitang scowled angrily, "Elder grandson Jingrong, I originally wanted to give you a way out for the sake of being a woman, but now you are asking for your own death. Can't blame anyone else!"

"What you said is really strange. What have I done to make you kill my way of life?"

Lifting her wet hair, Ji Haitang reprimanded with a red face, "You splashed water on me! Now I have evidence on me, you can't shirk it!"

With arms crossed, the eldest grandson looked at Ji Haitang leisurely, with a bit of grievance in his tone, and said, "It's obvious that you just suffered from hysteria, and I'm kind enough to help you. Instead of being grateful, why are you complaining?"

"Bah, who's suffering from hysteria!" Ji Haitang spat in the direction of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and said with hatred, "Sister Lingruo asked the emperor to live in the palace, but you deliberately sabotaged it with malicious intent! Let me tell you. , your little trick won't work at all, Sister Lingruo will eventually move into the palace and take care of you, a shameless vile woman!"

"Miss Ji said what you said, did the emperor agree?" Changsun Jingrong was not intimidated at all, but showed a smug smile, like a hunter weaving a trap, waiting for the prey to jump in.Slowly approaching Ji Haitang, the eldest grandson Jingrong stared at her, and said unhurriedly, "As far as I know, the emperor has only received a letter from General Xue, and has not issued an order. The emperor has not said anything yet. Is it necessary for the prince to welcome Miss Xue into the mansion? The emperor has not expressed his attitude yet, so you have made decisions for the emperor. Miss Ji is really capable! If you know the truth, you will say that Miss Ji and Miss Xue are deeply in love with each other. Miss Xue is always thinking of Miss Xue, but I don't know, I think Mrs. Ji has evil plans and wants to override the emperor!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Such a crime is not a small one, Ji Haitang's eyes widened in shock, and he said nervously, "Why is our Ji family above the imperial power? Don't just randomly accuse our family of crimes!"

"You have already done the thing, why am I talking nonsense?" Changsun Jingrong looked at Ji Haitang calmly, and said leisurely, "Or, Miss Xue can't wait to marry the prince? That's not good, the woman is still Be more reserved, otherwise even if you marry, you won't get the attention of your husband's family."

"That has nothing to do with you, as long as you don't show up all the time, it's fine!"

Clenching her fists tightly, Ji Haitang didn't realize that the situation was completely in the hands of her eldest grandson Jingrong, and she was just a small bubble in the waves, unable to resist, and could only roll along with it, unable to reverse it.

Slowly looking at the messy things on the ground with his eyes, Changsun Jingrong snorted, and said in a cold voice: "It's true that Miss Xue's choice has nothing to do with me, but now that my house is in such a mess, it has something to do with me." It doesn't matter! Now Miss Xue has no name or distinction, so why should she dictate in the palace! Even if she lives in the palace, she is still a guest. How can there be a guest who is above the master!? Hmph, it must be that Miss Xue can't sit still Now, if you want to play awe-inspiring!"

"Sister Lingruo doesn't know what's going on today, so don't spit blood on people!"

"This is considered bloody? Then you really underestimated me!" His face suddenly turned cold, and Changsun Jingrong said coldly, "It wasn't her attention, so it was all your idea? But this is not right, it is obviously Xue The girl wants to come to stay for a while, why are you more excited than her? It was the same last time, when you saw the prince, you showed that aggrieved look, as if I robbed your sweetheart. Hey, I said , don’t you also like the Ninth Prince? These are all blindfolds, but the one who really wants to live here is you!!”

"Changsun Jingrong, are you crazy!" Ji Haitang's face turned red and white, not as righteous as it was at the beginning, and he mumbled a sentence for a long time, but couldn't complete it.

Looking at Ji Haitang, who was already unfounded, Changsun Jingrong's mouth slightly curled up, and he said in a casual tone: "If you don't want to spread more inexplicable rumors outside, take your people and leave as soon as possible! If it's too late, But there's no guarantee I won't change my mind!!"

Ji Haitang flicked her sleeves bitterly, she couldn't bear to be overwhelmed by such a vulgar woman.But the servants around her could see that Ji Haitang was not the eldest grandson Jingrong's opponent at all, and would only suffer even more if he forced her to stay, so they pushed her to the door partly coaxing and partly persuading her.

Standing at the door, Ji Haitang suddenly thought of something, turned his head viciously, stared at Changsun Jingrong and shouted, "Don't be complacent, Changsun Jingrong, Sister Lingruo will not allow other women to share her husband, Your days are coming to an end!"

Faced with Ji Haitang's provocation, Changsun Jingrong just said indifferently: "She thinks the same as I do!" Then, he turned around and asked someone to close the door, closing the shocked Ji Haitang behind the door. outside.

Although everything has been removed, there are still a lot of sundries on the ground. Looking at the scattered things lying there, Bi He couldn't help complaining: "This crazy woman even came to us to make a noise, and she didn't even look at it. It's too much to see her own status!"

"Okay, that woman is abnormal, why bother with her?" Qiao Shan'er pushed her elbow, and then said, "Something has been cleaned up here, please help quickly."

"Leave it alone," Changsun Jingrong waved his hand, stopped Bi He and Qiao Shan'er, and said, "Sima Xukong hasn't seen what her good sister is doing yet, let him see it anyway, otherwise it won't be a good idea." Is Ji Haitang's hard work wasted?"

Bi He felt strange, holding a pot of flowers and said: "Someone will definitely tell the prince about this, why keep these? It's an eyesore."

The eldest grandson Jingrong snorted coldly, and said: "Why should I put it here to block my eyes, while he is playing around outside!? Don't expect me to help him block the romantic account he owes himself!"

Looking at Qiao Shan'er, Bihe realized belatedly that her eldest grandson Jingrong was also angry. Seeing her behavior just now, she thought her master wouldn't be angry.Hey, she is a woman after all, if someone else comes to snatch her husband, no matter how magnanimous she is on the surface, she will still be angry in her heart.

The eldest grandson Jingrong walked back to his courtyard angrily, naturally he didn't know what the two girls were thinking, otherwise, the already raging chest would definitely be more oppressed.

As soon as Sima Xukong returned to the mansion, he listened to the steward's account of the day's affairs, his brows could not help but furrowed, but they relaxed in an instant, and turned into a distressed and angry face, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. Then he rushed to the room of the eldest grandson Jingrong.

The eldest grandson Jingrong, who has already washed and washed, is wearing only a cloak over a thin white shirt, and is kneeling in front of a large painting frame, carefully putting on stitches.The moment the door was opened, Changsun Jingrong felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. He couldn't help rubbing his hands, but didn't look up.

Seeing the person huddled there like a pink jade bracelet, Sima Xukong couldn't help but soften his heart, walked to her identity in two steps, grasped the eldest grandson Jingrong with his warm hands, and asked in a soft voice: " Jing Rong, what are you doing, why are you wearing so little? Your hands are getting cold."

Without a trace, he drew out his hand, and Changsun Jingrong continued to hold the silver needle and inserted it, and said with a bowed head, "The New Year's Eve banquet will be soon, and I will prepare a congratulatory gift for the Empress Dowager."

Changsun Jingrong's unrestrained attitude hurt Sima Xukong a little. He squeezed beside Changsun Jingrong and waved everyone in the room to retreat.

As soon as the door was opened and closed, the eldest grandson Jingrong came over, hurriedly sat a little far away, looked at Sima Xukong warily, and asked, "What are you doing!?"

"What can I do, I just want to be alone with you for a while." Sima Xukong said with an aggrieved look on his face, "Today I was tired at the military department all day, and I just want to come back and have a good rest by Jingrong's side. I promise not I will touch you, just stay here for a while, you won't even refuse to agree to this little thing, will you?"

Pushing away the handsome face in front of him, Changsun Jingrong said indifferently: "There are countless girls who want to be by your side, why bother to crowd around me? With the charm of your Ninth Prince, as long as you shout , There will definitely be countless girls rushing over."

After hearing Changsun Jingrong's words, Sima Xukong bent his lips and asked with a smile: "This tone is really aggressive. Hey, are you jealous?"

Glancing at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong inserted a needle into the canvas and said disdainfully, "Are you kidding me? I'm jealous of you? Then I can't bear it! It's getting late, and you should be early too!" Go back and rest."

"It's still early, we haven't talked for a long time, please chat with me," Sima Xukong sat back full of interest, and said, "Let's not mention today's bad luck, but study the time of New Year's Eve." , what do you want to send to the people in the palace? It’s convenient for you, you can embroider something to give to the empress dowager and empress, but it’s not easy for the emperor. Embroidery is definitely not good, it’s too effeminate However, things that are too expensive look vulgar, and things that are too ordinary can’t be handed out, which is really a headache.”

With a snort, Changsun Jingrong said: "It's not easy, just agree to the emperor's arrangement and let Xue Lingruo live in the palace!"

Puckering his lips, Sima Xukong said with an aggrieved look: "Jingrong, didn't we agree not to mention this matter? My people are already yours, why are you still jealous?"

This nasty words made Changsun Jingrong hold his arm, feeling extremely cold, so he glared at Sima Xukong, and scolded: "It's already cold enough today, can you still talk properly? "

Leaning closer to a smiling face, Sima Xukong said flatteringly: "As long as you don't get angry, I will be fine."

Although his face was full of disgust, Changsun Jingrong still said: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a matter of choosing a congratulatory gift? It's not difficult. I heard the empress dowager said that the emperor likes glazed products, so you should find a skilled craftsman and use colored glaze. To make a map of the moonlight territory is flattering and unique, the emperor will definitely look at it differently."

Sima Xukong clapped his hands, and said with a relieved expression: "Jingrong, you are still smart, you have solved the matter I have been thinking about for many days with one word, it seems that I have really married a baby! "
