The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 115
Walking side by side with Sima Xukong, two naughty boys appeared in front of Changsun Jingrong, entertaining themselves in the cold palace, but had a good time.

Tilting his head, Changsun Jingrong patted his forehead, trying to wake himself up.

"Jingrong, what's wrong with you? Is it a headache?" Sima Xukong held his eldest grandson Jingrong's hand in pain, his face full of concern.

"Ah, I'm fine, it's just that I've walked a lot today and I'm a little dizzy."

"Dizziness!?" Sima Xukong looked nervously at Changsun Jingrong, and suggested, "Why don't I carry you away!"

"No, absolutely not!!" Changsun Jingrong rejected Sima Xukong without thinking, and then forced a smile, "Well, I'm fine, let's continue on our way!"

Looking at the back of his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong couldn't help showing a doting smile, thinking to himself that this little woman is really interesting, and staying by his side all day can make him a lot happier.

The closer he got to Wenqian Hall, the more Changsun Jingrong could hear the noisy silk and bamboo sounds inside, how lively it was.The palace maids shuttled constantly outside the palace, holding beautiful and delicious delicacies in their hands, which made people move their index fingers when they heard it.

But Changsun Jingrong was not very happy to see such a situation, because after the banquet started, the two of them would definitely attract everyone's attention, and she wished she could be an invisible person, so faced with such a situation, she couldn't help but Sigh and sigh.

Stretching out his hand to hold his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong smiled at her, and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being late, just to let everyone see how much we love each other! Jingrong, you don't need to say anything for a while, as long as you are here Just keep a happy smile by my side, and leave the rest to me!"

The corner of her mouth twitched, Changsun Jingrong put on a false and sarcastic smile, but Sima Xukong saw it, and just scratched the tip of her nose with his hand, without getting angry.

Entering together hand in hand, the eunuch pushed open the palace gate of Wenqian Hall, and the atmosphere of joy and joy rushed over, like a heat wave, hitting people hard on the cheek.

Chang Nuo's eunuch saw Sima Xukong and his eldest grandson Jingrong, and hurriedly sang loudly: "The Ninth Prince and the Ninth Concubine have arrived—"

The people who had been drinking together just now couldn't help but pause when they heard the name, and looked at the couple with different expressions.

No matter what kind of meaning Sima Xukong looked at him, he always responded with a smile, looking very calm.And the eldest grandson Jingrong also showed a warm smile as he arranged, and followed his steps by his side.

Seeing the two approaching, Emperor Long Rui couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang really likes to be late as usual, even after getting married, he can't change this problem."

Smiling to meet Emperor Long Rui's gaze, Sima Xukong first saluted him with his eldest grandson Jingrong, and then said: "I am used to being loose, and I am really not used to it if I have to be serious in everything. Fortunately, the emperor Don't pursue it, otherwise the minister's life will not be so carefree!"

"Haha, if the Ninth Prince is not happy, then you really deserve the title I gave you back then!" Emperor Long Rui ordered the chief eunuch beside him to guide the two of them to sit down, and then set his eyes on the eldest grandson Jingrong with an expression There was a moment of trance.

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's harmless appearance, Ji Haitang angrily tugged at his handkerchief, and said to Xue Lingruo who was beside him, "Hmph, look at that woman's vicious look, it really makes people feel sick! Why did the prince fall in love with that kind of vixen! I'm not worth it for my sister!"

Xue Lingruo also raised her eyebrows to look at Changsun Jingrong, but she was not so angry. Instead, she looked back and forth with admiring eyes and said, "This fancy dress is quite suitable for her. It makes her skin look like snow. She is as pure and white as a lotus, and her temperament is as elegant as a lotus. She really deserves to be a famous embroidery master in the capital, and every item on her body must be exquisite."

After hearing Xue Lingruo's words, Ji Haitang said unhappily: "Sister, why do you still praise her? Don't destroy your own prestige and make others look good! Hmph, let me see, the clothes on this woman are good-looking, but they can be worn on Her own body has changed! This tailor can only be a tailor, even if she wears the master's clothes, she is still a little tailor!"

"If my aura is so easy to destroy, then I would have died on the battlefield." Xue Lingruo smiled and drank the sake in front of her, and said slowly, "This kind of petty fight between women doesn't have to be too serious." Take it to heart, there is no other benefit except to make yourself exhausted. Instead of this, it is better to cultivate your body and improve your charm, so that people can't find faults."

"That being said, sometimes you have to be ruthless when dealing with those shameless sluts!" Ji Haitang quietly clenched his hands as he looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong with a gloomy look, and said in a hateful voice, "Just because of this slut Woman, it made me unable to lift my head in front of the Ninth Prince, and even threatened me repeatedly, I can't swallow this tone! Today, I will definitely ask my eldest grandson Jingrong to get it back!"

Sitting in his seat, the eldest grandson Jingrong kept his eyes fixed on him, calmly facing all directions.But suddenly, there was a strong malicious gaze from one side, which made Changsun Jingrong unable to ignore it, so he looked sideways at the moment, and saw the woman in the pink dress looking at him with beautiful eyes angrily.

Oh, it turned out to be Ji Haitang.

The eldest grandson Jingrong showed him a provocative smile, then slowly raised his glass, nodded to him, and then drank it down in one gulp.That smiling gaze was not looking at an opponent at all, but more like looking at a mischievous child, which undoubtedly made Ji Haitang more angry.

Seemingly realizing that the woman beside him was in a good mood, Sima Xukong couldn't help approaching her ear, and said in a low voice, "What were you laughing about just now, tell me to make me happy for my husband!"

Looking at Sima Xukong with bright eyes, Changsun Jingrong leaned close to his cheek on purpose, and said, "I guess someone has knocked over the vinegar jar by now, and the smell of vinegar will come here in a while. Be careful."

"Why should I be careful?"

With a smug smile, Changsun Jingrong said: "Because you said you want to protect me, those guys who come towards me, don't you want to help me keep them out?"

"You can finally remember what I said, it's really gratifying!" Lovingly scratching the tip of Changsun Jingrong's nose, Sima Xukong's smile was so soft that it could almost melt into a cavity of spring water.

Just when the two of them were doing some petty tricks that would tire people, someone couldn't stand it any longer, but on the surface he still looked envious, and said loudly: "The Ninth Prince and the Ninth Concubine are so unloving and envious of others. I don't know What's the secret to keep the relationship between husband and wife so deep?"

Looking at the man who spoke, Changsun Jingrong realized that he had a little impression of this bearded man, as if he had seen it at a royal dinner before.After recalling it carefully, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought to himself that it was Lu Qingzong, a pioneer of hussars, who guarded the capital and belonged to Xue's party.

Thinking of his identity, it was not difficult for Changsun Jingrong to understand this man's hostile voice.Xue Liangshan returned to the capital, and these pawns who had scattered Long Rui found their backbone.Knowing that Xue Liangshan's favorite is Sima Xukong, of course he has to perform well in order to make a good impression in front of Xue Liangshan.It's just that I have become a complete cannon fodder, acting as a stepping stone for others to succeed.But unfortunately, my own stepping stone is not so easy to step on, if I am not stable, I will fall and roll off the cliff!
Sima Xukong still maintained a faint smile, looked at Lu Qingzong and said: "If you like it, you like it. How can there be more experience to teach? Master Lu also treats love as leading soldiers to fight, and feels that there are laws to be found, and there are books on tactics. See? Haha!"

Sima Xukong's banter made everyone present couldn't help laughing, while Lu Qingzong, who was ridiculed, was full of embarrassment.

Amidst the laughter, Emperor Long Rui looked at Lu Qingzong and said, "As for the relationship between men and women, you should learn more from the Ninth Prince. Don't look at you generals who are good at fighting wars, but when it comes to customs, you still have to What a layman. We have so many good sons and daughters, we should all have a happy family, so that we can serve our country better without any worries."

"What the emperor said is true!"

The courtiers below all raised their glasses to compliment Emperor Long Rui, forgetting about the eldest grandson Jingrong who was mentioned just now.

Silently eating the food and drink in front of him, Changsun Jingrong wondered when this boring dinner party would end. Eating with these inattentive guys would easily cause indigestion after a long time.

Putting down his chopsticks in boredom, Changsun Jingrong casually glanced ahead, but inadvertently saw a familiar figure.

Xu Zizheng, why is he here?
The place where Xu Zizheng was sitting was in the semi-darkness. After he noticed that his eldest grandson Jingrong was looking in his direction, he moved his body quietly, completely hiding himself in the darkness.

Although it was just a glance, Changsun Jingrong also noticed the changes in Xu Zizheng. He seemed to have become even more gloomy, just like back then, but suddenly he seemed to be a different person, exuding an aura of indifference.Although it returned to normal in the later stage and became a modest and polite gentleman, I always felt that it was different from before.Could this change of his body be related to that veil?Sima Xukong once said that the totem has profound meaning, what exactly does it represent?

"Ouch!"

The sudden pain in the waist made Changsun Jingrong involuntarily look to the side, and saw Sima Xukong looking at him with a smile, but anger was rising in his eyes.

"Under such an occasion, it's not good for my princess to stare straight at other men and show this expression."

This man is really stingy!

He gave him a dark look, and Changsun Jingrong said with a smirk: "The prince is really worrying too much. How can there be a man in the world who is more attractive than the prince? You should be more confident!"

This was originally a joke from Changsun Jingrong, but Sima Xukong accepted it without shame, and complacently, with an appearance of "I am the most beautiful man in the world", he didn't understand what Changsun Jingrong said. The mood is average, which makes the eldest grandson Jingrong feel depressed.

His cold and sharp eyes kept observing the changes in everyone's expressions. Seeing that the scene was harmonious and peaceful, Taishi Fang raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, and raised it to Emperor Long Rui, and said loudly: "Today's New Year's Eve banquet, I dare to respect the emperor. One cup, to celebrate our Longrui country's good weather, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and also to celebrate General Xue's triumphant return!"

Grand Master Fang's words were obviously to curry favor with Xue Liangshan, but after hearing this, Xue Lingshan just looked at the emperor very flatly, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

The other ministers also followed suit, raised their cups with Taishi Fang, and shouted together: "I wish the Longrui Dynasty a prosperous future!"

Emperor Long Rui raised his cup, drank it boldly, and then said with a smile: "Long Rui Country is able to have today's country and people's safety. General Xue's contribution is indispensable. Come, I will also respect General Xue!"

Seeing this, Xue Liangshan hurriedly raised his cup respectfully, stood up and said: "I have devoted myself to the country, and the veteran dare not take credit for it. But so far, the veteran still has one unsolved problem, and it is almost becoming a heart disease."

After hearing Xue Liangshan's words, Xue Lingruo hastily clenched her hands, but her face was still calm.

Emperor Long Rui leaned forward slightly, looked at Xue Liangshan with a serious face, and asked: "What is Aiqing's worry, just tell me, I will naturally make the decision for you!"

"Actually, what I'm worried about is the lifelong event of my only daughter, Xue Lingruo!"

Before Emperor Long Rui could say anything, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said with a smile: "Actually, General Xue doesn't have to worry, the girl Lingruo has long been pleasing to Ai's family and has found a suitable candidate for her. After a while, The Ai family asked someone to send the roster to your house, and let Lingruo take a look and see who can take a fancy to it."

When everyone's eyes fell on him, Xue Lingruo smiled calmly and said, "Lingruo, thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness, but Lingruo already has a sweetheart, so she doesn't have to worry about the Empress Dowager."

Everyone present knew who the sweetheart Xue Lingruo was talking about, so they couldn't help looking at Sima Xukong with a bit of sarcasm in their eyes.

But Sima Xukong is still talking about you and me with his eldest grandson Jingrong, as if he doesn't know that he is being talked about.

Meimou looked at Sima Xukong, Xue Lingruo looked wounded, and drank the wine in front of him with his back, looking very hurt.

In the past, there was a talented eldest son, Sun Jingrong, who was worth thousands of dollars, and later, there was a heroine Xue Lingruo, who was loyal and courageous and would not give in to men. This Sima Xukong really enjoyed the blessings of everyone, and made all the men present envy.

Seeing that Xue Lingruo was about to take the initiative to attack, the Empress Dowager turned hard, then looked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "The Ai family can't take care of this young man's affairs, so let them handle it themselves. But the Ai family I have always liked the child Jingrong, and I am very happy to see her and Xu Kong living in harmony and beauty. I did not expect that Mrs. Sun, the Duke of Jin, would have the same thoughts as the Ai family. For the mirror!"

Mrs. Sun, whose name was mentioned, got up quickly and stood up, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to remember it, hey, it's embarrassing enough to say it. The concubine and the husband have never had a daughter. Looking at other people's homes I am envious of my daughter's intimacy. A while ago, I met the Ninth Princess because of buying fabrics, and I fell in love with it immediately. I thought that it would be great if I could have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter!"

With a sneer in his heart, Changsun Jingrong thought to himself that this was the plan the Empress Dowager made that day!Allowing myself to be under the Duke of Jin's sect will increase her social status and qualify her to be a concubine!This calculation was shrewd enough, but she didn't expect that she and Sima Xukong were only married by contract, and there was no reality of husband and wife at all. Even if their identities matched, they would part ways in the future.As for the position of Concubine that Xue Lingruo has worked so hard to obtain, as long as she has enough patience, she can also obtain it.Thinking about it this way, what they are planning now is really a joke!
Just when Changsun Jingrong was thinking in his mind, the Empress Dowager had already expressed her position first, saying: "Since Mrs. Sun and Jingrong agree with each other, the Ai family will make the decision today and let Changsun Jingrong recognize Jin Guogong's family as foster fathers." Stepmother, how are you?"

After hearing the news, everyone couldn't help being in an uproar.Everyone knows that although Jin Guogong has no real power, he is a glorious existence in Longrui country.Jin Guogong has countless followers and is sought after by students all over the world. Being able to become his adopted daughter will undoubtedly improve the status of his eldest grandson Jingrong.

Kan Kan pushed the elder Sun Jingrong, Sima Xukong said in a low voice: "Jingrong, are you stupid? Get up quickly and thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness!"

Standing up in front of the Empress Dowager, the eldest grandson Jingrong kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Jingrong, Empress Dowager!"

Nodding in satisfaction, the Empress Dowager gave Mrs. Sun a look, and Mrs. Sun got up and walked to the eldest grandson Jingrong, helped her up intimately, and smiled gently: "Jingrong, we will be a family in the future , come and move around more when you have nothing to do!"

Looking at Mrs. Sun shyly, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, Jingrong will definitely respect you and father-in-law with all my heart in the future!"

"Hey, he's really an obedient boy!"

The empress dowager was touched by the scene of mother's kindness and filial piety. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I think I'll let Jing Rong sit by Mrs. Sun's side first, and the two of them will also talk. Xu Kong, Do you agree?"

"This is what it should be," Sima Xukong smiled heartily, and then gave his eldest grandson Jingrong an encouraging look, and the scene was very warm.

Looking coldly at the peaceful scene in front of him, Xue Liangshan looked at Lu Qingzong, who understood what he meant, stood up and said with a smile: "It's really a good thing that the side concubine can recognize her father and mother, but if I can come here today Wouldn't it be better to have double happiness?"

Lu Qingzong's "side concubine" already showed his intentions, and everyone couldn't help pricking up their ears, thinking that today's dinner party is really wonderful, it is obvious that two women are robbing one husband!This is cheap for Sima Xukong, and he can enjoy the blessings of Qi people.

However, Sima Xukong, who "enjoys blessings" in everyone's hearts, sneered, looked at Lu Qingzong and said bluntly: "The most joyful thing today is that under the leadership of the emperor, our Longrui country is in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Master Lu thinks it's right..."
