Rebirth of the drama: Ben Gong just wants to be salted fish

Chapter 168

Gao Yin pushed her hand away, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and led her forward, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Originally, I arranged a room for you, but seeing that you are frightened now, you must not feel at ease living alone. It happens that living with me can protect you. I am not afraid of those birds and beasts."

Still immersed in the scare of the python just now, Rong Jiao felt even more frightened after hearing what the emperor said.

"Your majesty, just let me off the hook! I know I was wrong, but you can't..."

What is the difference between living with the emperor and living in the animal world?Isn't there danger around you?

but……

If she slept alone until midnight, and suddenly there was a snake or other animal on the bed, just thinking about it would make Rong Jiao's scalp feel numb, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"The emperor must be awake at night when he sleeps."

Except for the queen and the maids around her, almost everyone was smiling, as if they were on vacation, and they were not at all scared by the sudden appearance of animals.

Concubine De watched the queen and the emperor leave together, and then looked at the woman beside her who had already gritted her teeth with hatred.

"Di Ji, let's go! You haven't been here for many years, and you must be missing it. Why don't you go around, the scenery is very nice."

After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer, and walked straight to her own residence.

Rong Jiao was frightened along the way, looking left and right, she was afraid that an animal would suddenly come out of nowhere and bite her.

Seeing her like this, Gao Yin held back his laughter along the way but refused to tell her the truth.

When she got back into the house, Rong Jiao still couldn't stay idle, wandering around looking around, looking behind the door for a while, looking in front of the window for a while, and looking at the vase for a while, always unable to relax.

"Rong Jiao, what are you looking for?" Gao Yin was really helpless and couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid? If a scorpion suddenly appeared and bit you, it would be fatal. Now my mind is full of those poisonous things."

Gao Yin put down the book in his hand.

"Rong Jiao, you are worrying too much. Although it is connected to the royal hunting ground, it is not normal for ordinary people to realize that it is different from the outside. There will be people guarding the surrounding area. Even if an animal breaks in, it can be dealt with in time. If not, wouldn't the servants in the garden be very dangerous?"

It turned out that she had been tricked by the emperor, Rong Jiao was a little annoyed now, she blamed herself for not thinking about these things carefully?

"Your majesty, since you know this is the case, why didn't you tell the concubine earlier?"

Now she kind of wants to go back to where she should go to live.

Gao Yin told again solemnly: "However, situations like the one just now occasionally exist. Although the guards are strict, it is inevitable that some animals are not easy to be found and sneaked in. You saw it yourself just now."

He didn't know how animals could crawl in the garden, which had always been heavily guarded, especially such a big boa constrictor. Logically speaking, the guards shouldn't be able to see it, let alone tell the queen. This kind of situation is rare in a hundred years.

Rong Jiao originally wanted to live elsewhere by herself, but after a few words from the emperor, she immediately dismissed the idea. Although living with the emperor is dangerous, it will not lose her life. If she lives alone...

"Your majesty, if you didn't say it earlier, the concubine could not calm down all the time, for fear that some animal would appear. That would be too scary."

"It's you who think it's scary, but it's just that. Think about it carefully, there are no animals. They are actually very afraid of people. As long as you don't provoke them, they will definitely not provoke you."

Everyone understands the truth, but if they really meet, how many people can be calm?
As soon as he sat down, the officials arranged a clean-up banquet.

Rong Jiao is not familiar with banquets, it's nothing more than eating, drinking, watching dances and admiring beauties, it's all arranged for the emperor's hobby, it has nothing to do with her as the empress.

Even so, they had to accompany the emperor to watch the boring dance together.

"Your Majesty, why do dancers have to be arranged at the banquet? Isn't it good to just have a meal?"

Watching the dance while eating, a meal can be done in an hour, but it will be extended by two or three hours, and the legs feel numb just sitting!

"You don't have to think so much. In fact, there are not so many things. After this meal is over, we can move around without being restrained by others."

Gao Yin knew that the Empress lacked interest, but there was nothing he could do about what had to be dealt with.

Every time a dance is over, Rong Jiao thinks it's over, but soon there will be another dancer, it's just wearing patience.

"Your Majesty, my concubine feels unwell and wants to leave first. Why don't you just enjoy it here alone, and there are so many concubines here, so they must still have more to say."

Nothing else, just looking at those dancers with charming eyes and waists that are as soft as water, even a woman feels jealous, not to mention flirting with the emperor in front of her, the queen. I feel aggrieved.

"Wait a minute, it's almost over."

Sure enough, a few dances used to be a talent show, Rong Jiao wanted to leave the table, but thinking about her identity and the man beside her, she could only endure it.

"Your Majesty, the officials' intentions are so obvious that they will give you a woman, otherwise you will accept a few intentions, which will save them endless trouble."

She really lost her patience, and felt even more bored in her heart, but she couldn't say anything more.

Gao Yin saw that the queen couldn't sit still for a long time, and the little patience he had had was exhausted, so he stood up.

"That's all for today, you don't have to be restrained, I'm tired, go back and rest."

Rong Jiao hurriedly stood up, the emperor had already left, so she would not stay, but after seeing everyone looking at each other, she realized that the emperor was probably leaving early in order to accommodate her.

"Your Majesty, if we leave like this, will it cause people to gossip?"

"No, I've already eaten and drank well, so it would be boring to stay there any longer. I just didn't expect that this year, the dancers selected by the ministers are more delicate than in previous years."

The emperor praised the beauty, but she seemed to have overturned the jar of jealousy.

"Since the emperor thinks it's good, why did you come back with the concubine? Didn't you wrong yourself?"

Gao Yin smiled and took her into his arms: "I already have you, so I don't want to talk about it anymore. There are already so many concubines in the harem that I can't fit them in. No matter how beautiful they are, what does it matter if they are good-looking?"

Unexpectedly, the queen was angry in front of him. Although it was jealousy, he still felt very happy.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this concubine! This time we came to the palace to avoid the cold, and this concubine really opened my eyes. I never thought that there is such a place where people can live. It's my own short-sightedness."

It is not surprising to have such a garden in modern times, but such a garden in ancient times was already a wonder, not to mention that it is connected to a hunting ground, which is unthinkable.
