Empress True Colors

When it was getting dark, a sedan chair stopped at the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion. Without waiting for the attendants to come forward, the steward of Prince Ping's Mansion rushed out to pick him up. Without going through the notification procedure, he bowed and called Miss Biao, and directly took the sedan chair in with a familiar face.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Miss Ji, with a pale face and blood red lips, stepped into the study that His Highness Prince Ping did not allow anyone to enter easily.

At this moment, she no longer has the arrogance and domineering spirit at the gate of the city. Her slender eyes are slightly narrowed, showing a cold light that does not match her age. Her face is not very good, almost pale. In the face of the humiliation that the people of Mengcheng have watched over and over again, their complexion will not be any better, but the strange thing is that she is not angry and crazy. Compared with the impetuous and shallow woman before, she looks calm now Terrible.

She stepped into the room steadily, and His Royal Highness Prince Ping was holding a jade bottle and placed it on a high place. He sniffed lightly with his nose, as if intoxicated by the smell from the jade bottle, with a relaxed and intoxicated expression on his face.

If Jing Hengbo was here, he would feel that the jade bottle was very familiar, because it was the one she sold at the Puyang City Easy Sale Conference that could make people addicted to anesthesia until they died laughing.

Under the candlelight, King Ping, the only remaining adult prince of Mongolia, has an ordinary appearance, but has a gentle and peaceful temperament. He really looks more believable and amiable than the tyrannical Meng He.

"Auspicious son." Seeing his cousin coming, King Ping smiled and handed over the things in his hand, "Would you like to try this? Good stuff."

Miss Ji glanced at the jade bottle, sat down, and said calmly: "Hei San gave it to you again? Let me tell you, he's not a good guy, so be careful."

"That's not true." Ping Wang laughed, "This is something that Chang Shi bought at Hei San's underground auction, and it is also a famous floating water medicine that I have been looking for for a long time. This thing used to be state-owned in Bagan, and later the queen mastered the turtle shell , cut off the commercial road, and was later transported in by floating water through the secret road, and the secret recipe was re-refined, which is better than Pugan’s. It has the effect of prolonging life and curing all diseases. You know that I have been suffering from headaches for many years. Just use it."

Miss Ji frowned, "Chang Shi was assassinated by Hei San, do you still dare to use the things he bought?"

"Didn't the king's men kill him?" King Ping sneered, "How could Hei San let him go out of the ground? He killed him a long time ago and brought back the things." He flicked the bottle, "Don't look down on Hei San , he and his subordinates are still useful. At least there are some things that only he can do."

He looked in the direction of Fangshi, thinking that Hei San had already entered the city, and in a few days, some plans could be carried out.

Ms. Ji didn't say anything. Now she doesn't care much about Lao Wang, she and her cousin. Instead, she is concerned about another matter, which is why she appeared at the gate of the city today and caused trouble.

"You just mentioned the queen, but I just met Princess Ji."

King Ping put down the bottle, his eyes flashed, "What do you think? True? False?"

"There was a commotion," Miss Ji took a sip of tea, "but I didn't see anything."

"oh?"

"We are not familiar with the Ji people, so we can't compare them. The other party's attitude is that they are humble, but they are not humble at all when they should not be humble. They don't have much scruples in their actions. Their style is very similar to the legendary Ji royal family." Miss Ji. Shaking his head, "You said that the queen is out of the water, and she is very likely to come to Mongolia, because Menghu is going to get married. Now that Menghu is captured by our design, the queen should come to rescue him, but it is not sure what identity she will appear in. Now, I still think that Princess Ji is very suspicious."

"The spies have paid off," King Ping pointed to a secret letter, and said, "Queen Luanjia appeared in Tianwu City, Xijun, with a 3,000-strong cross-halberd army guard. It is estimated that the Prime Minister will report the news in a short time. .”

Miss Ji's eyebrows were raised high, "Mingxiu plank road dark Chencang?"

"Are you so sure that Princess Ji is a fake?"

"A woman's intuition." Miss Ji bit her lower lip, and only now did a bit of resentment appear on her face.

King Ping glanced at it and smiled faintly. He already knew what happened at the gate of the city. In his opinion, regardless of whether it was true or not, the cousin was still a little girl after all, and the girl's jealousy and repulsion were born.

"It's easy to know if it's true or not." He laughed.

"oh?"

"Menghu is in our hands. If she is really the queen, she will definitely come."

"But there has to be a reason."

"At the gate of the city today, they offended you. Later, I will send a post to invite the mission of Ji Guo. If they are real missions, they will be willing to step down this step and smile away their grievances; if they are fake missions, they will be right in their arms." King Ping laughed, "They also need a reason to enter the mansion."

"What do you mean?" Miss Ji's face became more serious, "they humiliated me at the gate of the city on purpose?"

"If it was intentional, I will naturally find my way back and give you a sigh of relief." Prince Ping pinched her face with a smile, "You are my future queen, how can you be humiliated by men at will."

"Really?" Miss Ji squinted at him, her eyes floating in the candlelight, "I just hope you don't change your mind after meeting that Princess Ji."

"Is it really beautiful? The auspicious son who made his eyes above the top said so?" Ping Wang laughed happily, stood up and said, "Don't worry, beauty is nothing more than a skin, how can it compare to the intelligence of auspicious son. It's just..." He suddenly turned around and stared at Miss Ji. The romantic and gentleness just now faded away. At this moment, his eyes were cold under the lamp, and he gave a slight warning, "I will invite Princess Ji to make a test in the name of apologizing. If that person really It’s the queen, so forget about the matter at the gate of the city, and don’t make any troubles.”

"Are you afraid of the queen?" Miss Ji's eyes turned cold.

"I'm afraid of changes." King Ping walked to the door and stopped at the threshold, "I'm afraid of the dark cloud of the terminator of the royal family."

"It is not you who sit on the throne now."

"So I hope she ends what she should end. In addition, it is best to turn the reputation of a terminator into an achiever in Mongolia. Of course, it is to achieve me. Otherwise, what am I going to do with Menghu? I can I never expected that Meng Hu would agree to persuade the Meng family to surrender, what I really need is him in my hands."

King Ping smiled slightly, so what if King Ji's daughter is the queen? Menghu is in his hands, that's enough.

He walked out the door, planning to check the place where Meng Hu was being held in person. This was a good bargaining chip, and he must not be allowed to commit suicide.

Miss Ji watched his back, bit her lips lightly, thinking of Princess Ji she saw at the gate of the city, thinking of the snow-like insult that the snow-like man seemed to stuff into the heart. His eyes gradually became hotter, his lips became more red, but his face was still as white as death.

She has a disease, a disease that her cousin doesn't even know about. To be cured, she needs to practice a lot of ice-type true qi and blood of the opposite sex.

And the dignity of Miss Ji's family cannot be insulted.

…

Jing Hengbo soon received an invitation to a banquet at Prince Ping's Mansion.

At the same time, she also got the news that Meng Hu was being held in Prince Ping's Mansion.

Yi Qi, who went shopping, came back, and told her that the atmosphere in the city was not good, teahouses and restaurants, all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky, most of them were aimed at Lao Wang and the dead Li Wang, saying that Lao Wang had doted on Li Wang for many years and indulged him Going against the law, so that Li Wang's tyranny hurts the peace of heaven, and Li Wang's death is also the result of God's punishment, and God's punishment is not over yet, Mongolia has already been hurt, and someone must bear the responsibility, vaguely still Speaking of the old Wang’s treachery in the early years, he killed no less than the heroes of the country, and the souls of the heroes are immortal, crying day and night, and it is also said that this spring, the dragon in the northern border of Mongolia turned over and killed countless people. As a result of King Li's unethical and disorderly government, now spring is drought and summer is flooding, and the year is not good. This extravagant king wants to spend his fiftieth birthday extravagantly. He doesn't care about the people's livelihood and the people. It's really unbearable. For the Lord of Mongolia...

He and Wu Shansi Si went to a dozen restaurants and teahouses respectively, and what they heard was similar. Jing Hengbo listened, smiled, and thought that some people seemed to be in a hurry and had already made a move. She would not stay in Mongolia for too long.

Generally speaking, the common method used by feudal dynasties to seize the throne is to create momentum first, whether it is to create momentum for their own imperial fortune or for others to step down, there will always be a process of rumors flying around the city, and people are panicking. Now we are in the process of spreading rumors In the old king stage, after a while, he will be able to sing praises for King Ping. Even if King Ping is not mentioned, the people will easily think of the "virtuous king" who is always different from King Li.

Laying a good foundation for public opinion is the first step, what is the next step?

The carriage of Prince Ping's Mansion has already parked outside the post house, and the etiquette is very thorough, perhaps it also means monitoring.

Jing Hengbo didn't know how suspicious the prince was about her identity. Before entering Mengcheng, she asked Meng Potian to pretend to be herself, and let Tianqi accompany her. 2367 followed Meng Potian, which was considered a cover-up. As for whether to hide it or not, it depends on each other's means.

Naturally, Jing Hengbo was only with Gong Yin, with a few more guards, and with Yongxue, and the rest didn't have to be with him, the more people there were, the more flaws there would be.

The carriage drove to Prince Ping's mansion. Before Jing Hengbo got out of the car, he saw a man in a brocade robe and jade belt standing in front of the door. After a closer look, he smiled at Gong Yin: "The virtuous king is the virtuous king, and he greeted him personally at the door. Affinity Much stronger than you."

Gong Yin casually put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at it lightly, and said, "Is this what you want?"

Jing Hengbo thought about Gong Yin who smiled and bowed to everyone, shivered, and quickly shook his head.

Gong Yin got up and got out of the car, Jing Hengbo straightened her skirt, suddenly Gong Yin's hand stretched out, she was startled, caught it with a smile, and lightly landed beside him.

I heard him say, "It's enough to be kind to you."

Jing Hengbo suddenly remembered that he was the one who stood beside the red carpet to welcome the queen when he first entered Dige, and he was the one who stood beside the red carpet, extending his hand to guide her, and protecting her on the first journey of trials in life.

From the beginning to the present, his specialness has always been only for her. Indeed, this is enough.

It is a blessing in itself to be able to join hands until now, she just needs to hurry up.

Standing under the shadow of the lamp, King Ping looked at a pair of jade men in front of him. The man was as tall and straight as a bamboo in the snow, elegant and refined, and the woman was as charming as a flower in the mist, magnificent and charming. The two of them stood there, apart from words such as "fairy couple" and "husband and wife", they couldn't think of anything else.

Even the maid who followed behind her was born in a graceful figure, not inferior to the good figure of the hostess.

The smile on Prince Ping's face remained unchanged, but suddenly he thought of his auspicious son's forever pale face and mouth that seemed to be dripping blood, and his heart felt agitated—didn't she know that the rouge couldn't be too red if the face was too white?

Looking at such a pair of Bi people, thinking about the marriage he had to suffer for the sake of his great cause, his eyes became darker, but then he smiled slightly.

As long as you become a king, you can accept many concubines.

In the shadow behind the door, Miss Ji also stood quietly, looking at the couple of gods and her cousin as well.

Cousin is usually regarded as a noble tree, but standing in front of those two people at this time, he is so vulgar that he is not as good as a peddler.

There was also a trace of disgust in her eyes - she was so amazed by that woman, she insisted on pretending not to see it, didn't my cousin know that he was smiling so hypocritically?

Her face was slightly calm, looking at the pair of men and women of similar age, thinking that she was fifteen years old, but she was going to be the step princess of her thirty-year-old cousin.

Therefore, only by becoming a queen can this unwillingness be filled.

A loud laugh came from below the steps, King Ping greeted him, and said with a smile, "But His Royal Highness the Third Princess of Ji Kingdom? Please forgive me for taking the liberty to invite you. Today's banquet is really an apology for the princess."

Jing Hengbo returned the courtesy with a smile, not daring to say anything, but just right enough to show some doubts, and sure enough, King Ping smiled and said: "At the gate of the city today, Xiao Wang's cousin was rude. Be sure to explain this misunderstanding clearly, my cousin, who is still young and ignorant of worldly affairs, offends the queen, and invites the queen to be Haihan." As she spoke, she bowed herself.

Jing Hengbo hurriedly returned the gift with a look of shock and astonishment. He even said it was okay, and sincerely expressed that he had something wrong with him. He offended Miss Ji's family too much. Calm and calm, it is like a spring breeze.

The two flattered each other for a while, and each felt that the other was like a dice in a glass cup, unable to spin or catch.

Gong Yin has been listening quietly, with a faint smile in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the little girl who was supported by him on the red carpet. At that time, she was bright and lively, and she spoke and laughed freely. She is not as cunning as she is now. However, although she was saddened by such a change, she was still slightly happy. In any case, she had matured, and she would not be afraid of any wind and rain in the world from now on.

Jing Hengbo and King Heping turned inward all the way, exchanged greetings and humility, apologized to each other more than a dozen times, laughed so hard that his teeth were sour, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Gong Yin's faint smile, he couldn't help snorting, thinking how long this guy is lucky In charge of great power in the wilderness, high above the sky, only others have always bowed down at his feet without daring to breathe, and never knew what it means to be versatile, this kind of hard work, only she is forced to do it, thinking about it without getting angry, Couldn't help pinching his wrist bitterly, but Gong Yin didn't respond. She was a little depressed and wanted to pinch, but he suddenly pinched her fingers lightly, then scratched her palm, Jing Hengbo squinted his eyes Going over, looking at his sideways eyes, and then at his fingers tightly held by him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Why bother with him, wouldn't it be good to complement each other like this? Wouldn't it be nice to have such a little sweet flirtation?

With a three-point smile on her lips, she followed King Ping to the Lingbo Pavilion where the guests were entertained. The name of this pavilion sounds very vulgar, but the design is interesting. It is not leaning on all sides and is in the middle of the water. The pavilion is in the shape of a semicircle, and the lights on it are brilliant, and the water surface of the pavilion is also full of lights, reflecting each other, forming a complete circle. From a distance, it looks like a bright moon descending from the sky, and colorful pearls grow on the blue lake, shining in the blue sky. In the background, the waning moon and the half-way of the Milky Way pale in comparison.

There are no bridges around the pavilion, and they are crossed by light lotus boats. Each boat can only accommodate one person except the oarsman. Everyone boarded the boat, the boat girls were all young women, rolled up their sleeves, revealing a white and shiny arm, but they all had good arm strength, under the oars, the lotus boat floated like lotus flowers, floating towards the water pavilion until When he got closer, Jing Hengbo discovered that the water around Lingbo Pavilion was as clear as a mirror, and there were countless stone pillars under the water. There were four of the thickest stone pillars supporting the entire Lingbo Pavilion, and the remaining thin pillars were scattered around. The crystal chandelier is dazzling. She originally thought that the radiance of the water surface was due to the reflection of the shadow of the pavilion, but now she discovered that there is a lamp under the water, but how can the lamp be lit underwater? Looking inside the crystal lamp, it turned out to be full of night pearls.

It's really a luxury, Jing Hengbo sighed to himself that Yuzhao Palace was not as good as it was, and Jingting was even more shabby in comparison.

But this kind of design... There is a faint smile on her lips, so bright, so unreliable, what is it to look at?

King Ping opened the banquet and accompanied him in person, without Miss Naji. In King Ping's words, she was suffering from the wind and cold.

It seemed that in order to show sincerity, there was no one else at this table, and it was King Ping who accompanied her and Gong Yin. But Jing Hengbo didn't think that there was really no one around this pavilion.

It’s the end of autumn, and it’s not a good season to drink wine against the wind. Layers of shark’s gauze hang down in the pavilion to keep out the wind and air. Even though it’s on the water, it doesn’t feel cold. Send it, look from the pavilion, you can see countless huge lotus flowers meandering, and then leisurely scattered, startling the water and pearls, swaying in people's eyes.

The scene was so intoxicating that Jing Hengbo was so full of admiration that he didn't even bother to taste the delicacies, so he leaned in front of the railing to watch, and praised him.

King Ping has always been a hospitable host, so he immediately walked up to Jing Hengbo, pointed out the scenery to her, and pointed out some koi in the water, ordered someone to fetch fish food, and accompanied Jing Hengbo to feed the fish.

At this time, Yongxue and the guards, accompanied by the stewards of Prince Ping's Mansion, had a table on the bank and went to eat and drink by themselves. Yongxue ate for a while, apologized, and left the table in a hurry.

She walked all the way to the shore, and there were many large landscape rocks on the shore. She walked around behind the rocks, and seemed to want to vomit.

A black shadow followed quietly, waited for a while, seemed to feel that something was wrong, dodged the stone, and looked behind the stone, where was there still a figure?

Here, Jing Hengbo sprinkled fish food, your koi were thronging, rolling under the lights like red brocade and golden waves, she was fascinated by it, leaned forward, sprinkled more fish food, those koi scrambled for more very.

Suddenly, the water wave shook, the koi stopped, and then dispersed with a huff, the tail of the fish stirred the water, and dived desperately to the bottom in fear. Countless crystal water droplets splashed onto Jing Hengbo's face.

This was strange, as soon as the two of them said "Hey", they felt a huge shock again, this shock made no sound, but it was powerful, as if the world was toppled, or a giant palm overturned everything, the water pavilion suddenly fell The table was tilted, the table turned over with a clatter, and the cups and plates flew together, hitting Gong Yin. Gong Yin flew up, and was about to fly over the table to Jing Hengbo, when the huge table turned up, blocking his way, and the maidservant beside him Injured by the fragments of the cup and plate, she fell coquettishly at his feet, stumbling over his feet.

This happened only in an instant. In an instant, the water pavilion was tilted, and the table stood up, separating the water pavilion in two. It's your time of death!"

The sound resounded across the lake, and then countless crystal lights whistled, those lotus boats overturned one after another, and burst into flames with a bang.

King Ping of Shangping in the water pavilion changed his face, his face was pale, he hugged Jing Hengbo, and cried: "Prince, save me!"

By coincidence, Jing Hengbo hugged him and cried, "Your Highness, save me!"

King Ping hugged Jing Hengbo's waist, but Jing Hengbo hugged him on the shoulder, moving faster than him. On this side, King Ping hadn't hugged her, but on the other side, she had already hugged him, but her posture was a bit weird, and her hands stuck him The shoulders and knees are pushed up intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah—" There was a loud cry, which sounded a little more miserable than just calling for help.

It's a pity that Jing Hengbo's scream also rang out, completely covering King Ping's cry.

At this moment, the vibration suddenly reappeared. There were several bang bang bang bangs in succession.

The moment the Lingbo Pavilion entered the water, several figures shot up into the sky from the water, and shouted: "The pillar is broken, the water pavilion has entered the water, King Hun, I will feed you to the koi in this lake today!"

Amidst the muffled sound, the water pavilion sank rapidly, and the shock was so violent that Jing Hengbo's hands holding King Ping's shoulders were shaken away, and he fell into the water. King Ping swam desperately, and those assassins flew over, picked up King Ping's collar, and dragged him to the lake with a rattling smile. King Ping yelled: "Help! Help!" While struggling, he turned his head and looked back, the pearly light reflected on his face, his face was covered with water, and he was extremely embarrassed, but his eyes were quiet and cold.

The moment he turned his head, he saw the water pavilion smashed into the water, and the utensils in the pavilion fell into the water one after another. The momentum seemed to be tense, and a slim figure of a woman kept avoiding it. Moved, the black hair swayed in the water like a fish's tail, but the speed in the water was not as fast as that on land, "Ah." With a scream, the canopy brushed the woman's side, and a piece of light red foam appeared. The woman turned her head in panic, already bleeding Drape.

Seeing this scene, King Ping was also shocked, with deep doubts in his heart.

No teleportation, no object control, falling into the water and hurting her face... Isn't she the queen?
