Zhenlong Gluttonous Feast

After half a month, I was finally released.

Ruan Xiangrong found out that it was Concubine Jin's bribery of the palace maids, which was a common trick used by the harem to fight for favor, and on the surface, there was no connection with the series of incidents of Shangguan's family.

Concubine Jin has been ruthlessly ordered by Zhao Zhilin to be thrown into the cold palace. If Zhao Zhilin still has a grudge against this matter, Concubine Xian will have a hard time in the future, but this is beyond our control.

After returning to Zhenlong Pavilion, Tong Sui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to see me.

This Shangshu was appointed after Zhao Yulin ascended the throne, and he was the last among the six Shangshu.He often played chess with me in the past, and he always looked bad when he lost, and he never bought it when he won.In this way, between you and me, a lot of friendship has been formed.

At the end of the game, I won Sanmu and a half.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and put it down.

"Master Lin's chess skills have improved again."

I hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "Where, Mr. Tong let me do it."

He ignored it, and said to himself, "Master Lin always has experience in chess games, but he is careless about officialdom."

It was obvious that there was something in the words, I was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked, "How do you say that?"

He only pointed at a certain place on the chessboard with his finger, "This sticky hand became an inducement, causing Tong to accidentally fall into the trap set by the adults, and he fought and lost repeatedly in the latter game until he was unable to recover."

"What does Master Tong mean?"

Tong Sui drank the last sip of tea, stood up and cupped his fists, "Master Lin, take care, Tong Mou, please leave now."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left in a chic manner.

I knocked on his back and was dumbfounded for a while, I don't know if he was angry again, or for something else.

Soon, Zhao Shulin sent me into the palace.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the chessboard has been set up first.

I salute and take a seat, and then play chess.

He didn't move for a while.

I raised my eyes in surprise, and saw that he was staring at me with piercing eyes.

I couldn't help but said in awe, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this."

He smiled and said, "Lin Cheng, I actually underestimated you, my concubine, you dare to make up your mind."

I hurriedly knelt down in front of my seat, "I don't dare, I hope the emperor will see clearly."

He clapped his hands and laughed, making me stand up.

Did you mean to scare me, damn it...

Only secretly drink hatred.

So, play chess.

On the way, someone announced that Wang Zhuoyun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to see him, and Zhao Yonglin announced him to come in.

After kneeling, Wang Zhuoyun patted his knees and stood aside. Seeing me, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Master Lin is safe and sound this time, congratulations."

I also imitated those pedantic old men and bowed my fist towards the holy face, "My emperor is holy."

Wang Zhuoyun rolled his eyes, but said, "Old man, I have also heard that Master Lin was the young wife of the Jingbian Palace before entering the court, not only that, but also has a lot of connections with the rebellious officials and thieves in the Jianghu, is there such a thing? "

"What rebellious officials and thieves?" Zhao Yonglin frowned suspiciously.

Wang Zhuoyun replied, "Back to the emperor, the orphan of Meng Kebei, the leader of the rebellious party in the previous dynasty, is named Meng Youting."

"Meng Youting?" Zhao Yonglin looked at me, "Is this name familiar?"

My heart was dark, "Back to the emperor, Meng Youting is the recognized martial arts leader in the Jianghu."

"Oh." He was thoughtful, "It must be the Meilu Collection that I got from him."

"Exactly."

Wang Zhuoyun interjected, "Master Lin is really good at it. Being able to get a treasure from such a person is truly worthy of being a pillar of the country. I don't know if there is something wrong with him."

This guy with a hidden knife in his smile!

My teeth were itching with hatred, and I had to pretend to be calm and replied, "Thanks to the great grace of the emperor, I was able to live up to my entrustment."

Between the verbal and the sharp, Zhao Yulin has been silent by the side, with a faint smile on his face.

Ruan Xiangrong couldn't help but reached out and rubbed my hair, "You little bastard, why are you making enemies everywhere?"

I jumped up and pushed his hand away, and said aggrievedly, "I rarely deal with that Lord Wang, I don't know why he would target me."

"You, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for your poor appearance and character! Like me, no one will provoke you."

I gave him a contemptuous look, if I also had a father who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who would I be afraid of.

Ruan Xiangrong's eyes froze, as if he was deep in thought, "I don't know if it has something to do with Shangguan's matter."

"It's true that the whole thing is like a trap everywhere, waiting for us to jump one by one."

He thought for a while and said, "Tell me something you don't like to hear."

"what?"

"It's been heard...the relationship between Mr. Wang and your Du Ruo is very unusual. There are rumors that Mr. Wang appreciates him very much and intends to betroth his beloved daughter to him."

I couldn't help raising my face and asked him fiercely, "What are you trying to say?"

He spread his hands, "If you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Depressedly fell back on the seat, hugged his knee pitifully, "I understand what you mean, and why don't I know that the distance between me and him is getting bigger and bigger, it's just..."

It's just that I don't want to believe that he will harm me.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he glanced straight at me.

I was horrified by his stare, and I couldn't help hugging my shoulders shyly.

He simply burst into a bright smile, "If you are worried, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

"...Why me again!"

"You don't believe what you see."

"Really for this?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, you know I don't know martial arts." He pushed me out with a smile on his face as he said.

Forget it, I don't go to hell who goes to hell.

I heard that Wang Zhuoyun was entertaining Du Ruo at the mansion that night, so I sneaked into the palace early.

Lying on the beam, watching them eagerly enjoying the delicious food on the table, it made my heart itch.

God damn Ruan Xiangrong, he only cares about pushing me out and doesn't remember to feed me.

During the banquet, Wang Zhuoyun's queen, Pingling, was full of shyness, and her eyes often fell on Du Ruo, but the other party seemed indifferent as if she didn't notice it.

Wang Zhuoyun was very courteous to Du Ruoyi and kept serving him food, so I concluded that the rumors that he intended to recruit Du Ruoyi as his son-in-law were true.

After the dining table was removed, Wang Zhuoyun and Du Ruo were left to discuss matters.

The content is nothing more than official affairs of the Ministry of Rites, so I can't help feeling bored and yawning.

When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Wang Zhuoyun softly say, "Okay Ruoer, why don't you stay tonight?"

ha? !I hurriedly pricked up my ears and widened my eyes at the same time, seeing Wang Zhuoyun squatting beside Du Ruo's seat and grabbing his hand.

Du Ruo said lightly, "How is the matter going?"

Wang Zhuoyun cupped his hands to his face and dawdled, "It really makes Ruo'er talk, then Lin Cheng really has some problems."

"...what does the emperor think?"

"The emperor is a sensible person. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he may not have no thoughts in his heart."

Du Ruo withdrew his hand and pushed Wang Zhuoyun away.

"Joe?"

Grabbing the hem of his clothes, Du Ruo's voice was as cold as ice, "My surname is Wang, tell your daughter to restrain herself a bit, so as not to be an eyesore."

"Yes, yes!" Wang Zhuoyun responded in fear, tremblingly took his right foot and kissed it carefully...

I've been completely stunned.

Don't say that the matter is really related to Du Ruo, what is the situation in front of it?

Such Du Ruo is different from anything I have seen before.

Moreover, Du Ruo, you said that you like Emperor Zhao.

Now, what is now?
