The reborn son is vicious

Deliberately showing weakness

Zhang Kang waited at the side, seeing the emperor's gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

"Is there anything else?" Fortunately, Murong Jing was gloomy for a while, and quickly returned to normal. He glanced at Zhang Kang and said coldly, "If there is nothing to do, step back."

Zhang Kang sneaked a few glances at Murong Jing's expression, and finally decided to speak out. He weighed his tone and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this servant heard a rumor from the Emerald Palace."

Murong Jing raised his eyes, motioning for him to continue.

"According to the lady in charge of the Emerald Palace, Yun Zhaoyi went to look for Concubine Xigui this morning..."

"I know."

Before Zhang Kang finished speaking, Murong Jing lowered his eyes and interrupted him without any interest, "Concubine Xian told me."

"Ah?" Zhang Kang was taken aback.

Murong Jing didn't even look at him, picked up a memorial in his hand, and flipped through it casually, "Concubine Xian said that on the way she came, she happened to meet Yun Zhaoyi who came back from the Emerald Palace, so she stopped to say hello to her. "

Murong Jing threw away the memorial, looked up at Zhang Kang's pale face, "What's the matter, what else do you want to tell me?"

Zhang Kang's heart shuddered, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Damn the servant!"

"Zhang Kang..."

Murong Jing snorted regretfully, and slowly said: "I always thought that you were a smart person, but I recently discovered that this smart person often likes to be smart and self-righteous the most. Leng Xi is like this, and so are you. ..."

Murong Jing gave a subtle meal, and Zhang Kang broke out in a cold sweat, "I know I was wrong! I beg the emperor to show mercy!

"I'm warning you for the last time, you shouldn't be in charge of this palace, don't be in charge, otherwise..."

Having said this to such an extent, no matter how stupid Zhang Kang was, he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy, I promise that I will never do it again!"

Murong Jing remained silent, just stared at Zhang Kang motionlessly for a long while, then let out a cold sigh, and waved, "Get lost."

But before Zhang Kang turned around, Murong Jing seemed to think of something, as if he was talking to himself, "Has Yun Zhaoyi been in the palace for half a year?"

The corner of Zhang Kang's eyes twitched, and he stood in place anxiously, not knowing whether he should answer or not.

"Half a year", fortunately Murong Jing didn't care about him, he was really asking himself and answering, "I didn't give birth to half a dragon son for me, it was a waste of my favor."

Murong Jing shook his head and said coldly, "A few days ago, You Cheng was at the court, but he gave me a good idea, which caused me to spend several days in commemoration of You Cheng's memorial, feeling uneasy—you go, take me away. I often reward Yun Zhaoyi with beauty cream, and give her a few more bottles, and say: I thank her for her good father, my good father-in-law, who has been in power for six years and has dedicated himself to my great Xu and worked tirelessly!"

As soon as he said this, although his tone was calm, Zhang Kang secretly yelled "Oops" when he heard it

A few days ago, Yun Chongshan, Yun Chongshan, the right minister of Daxu, who is Yun Zhaoyi's father, openly stated in the court hall that the military officials in northern Xinjiang were embezzling food and pay, which led to frequent riots in Suzhou and Yinzhou, and accused the emperor in his words means inaction.

Although Murong Jing didn't say anything on the spot, Zhang Kang, who was standing close, noticed that the emperor's complexion was not very good.

Of course, Murong Jing is a good emperor who strives hard to govern. He always pays attention to spreading the word and treats those direct officials who dare to speak the truth. !

How can the majesty of the Son of Heaven be trampled by ordinary people? !

The face of the Son of Heaven, could it be that any minister can slap him at will? !

It's not because Murong Jing is short-tempered, but that You Cheng's tone is a bit presumptuous!

Zhang Kang secretly sighed, and returned to his senses: "I'm going now, my servant. Dare I ask Your Majesty, is Beauty Shuang still in the cloisonne bottle?"

Murong Jing squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to click on the dragon case, and said meaningfully: "Naturally, Yun Zhaoyi's stomach is not up to snuff, and her temper is becoming more and more like her father's. I specially ordered the imperial doctor to prepare that beauty for her." Shuang, I just hope... Yun Zhaoyi can understand my kindness."

How awkward the emperor's words sounded, Zhang Kang's heart skipped a beat, but he saw Murong Jing stop pointing at Long An's fingers, and looked up at him coldly.

Zhang Kang didn't dare to think too much, and quickly took orders to retreat.

For a long time, Murong Jing was left alone in the imperial study, and only heard the Zijin hourglass, rustling and counting the time.

Murong Jing sat quietly with his eyes downcast for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and pulled out a yellowed note from the Dragon Pattern brush.

It was a secret letter sent to him by Imperial Physician Liu of the Imperial Hospital, who was good at taking care of patients, after receiving his order to make a beauty cream.

There is only one line on the narrow piece of paper - Beauty Shuang, Beauty Shang, Zhaoyi will not be destroyed, and the dragon species will not survive.

……

When Yanran walked halfway along with Xianfei's chariot, she suddenly heard Xianfei behind the curtain calling "Pearl", Pearl hurried to the chariot and listened to Xianfei's orders.

"Let's go to the Emerald Palace."

Pearl and Yanran were stunned at the same time, but Concubine Xian signaled Yanran to come over, and asked softly, "Are you the dowry girl of Concubine Xi?"

Yan Ran nodded and said, "Returning to Madam, this servant has been serving Xi Guifei since she was a child."

Concubine Xian glanced at her, and slowly said: "Oh, then tell me something about Concubine Xi's stay at Leng's house."

Yan Ran was a little confused, but Concubine Xian said clearly: "Don't you know that I am the cousin of Concubine Xi? Why, can I still ask about my cousin?"

Yan Ran panicked, and hurriedly apologized, carefully considering her words, and gave Concubine Xian a general account of Leng Xi's recent situation.

She is a child of the Leng family, so she more or less knows this noble and virtuous concubine—the cousin who has almost no relationship with the third young master of the Leng family.So of course it was impossible for her to tell Concubine Xian about Leng's secrets.

"I heard..." Concubine Xian asked strangely as she listened: "The emperor was going to marry Concubine Xi and his eldest brother, why didn't it go away later? Since you are Concubine Xi's personal maid , should know what's going on."

Concubine Xian's question was on point. Although the concubines in the palace knew that when the emperor married the second son of the Leng family, there was a scandal about King Rongqing and the eldest son of the concubine of the Leng family, which caused the emperor to be furious and canceled the wedding banquet, but they were as careful as Concubine Xian. , she always felt that this matter would not be so simple.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ran didn't panic when she heard the words, but said in an orderly manner: "On that day, according to the wedding rules, the preparations started from the young master's side, and the servants followed Xi Guixi in the yard to wait for the young master to finish dressing. Walked out of the yard, but before the young master finished dressing up, I heard that the holy majesty had canceled the wedding banquet, and afterwards, Xi Guifei told the servants that it was the second young master who..."

Yan Ran didn't dare to say it anymore, everyone knew what happened next, so there was no need to repeat it, not to mention the matter of King Rong Qing and Leng Ling was a taboo topic in the first place.

"So that's how it is." Concubine Xian said noncommittally, "You are really a good girl beside Concubine Xi."

Yan Ran understood that there was something in Concubine Xian's words, and she could only be a blessing, she panicked and said: "Your Majesty, the servant just did her duty, so I dare not take this praise."

Concubine Xian's eyes that were as bright as morning stars flickered, and she didn't say anything more.

Soon, Concubine Xian's chariot arrived at Leng Xi's Emerald Palace.

Yan Ran hurried into the hall to report, Concubine Xian supported Zhu Zhu's hand, walked down from the chariot Pingting, and walked towards the vermilion lacquered gate.

"Concubine Xian is here!" The eunuch on duty announced loudly.

"My maidservant (only) greets the concubine Xian, and the concubine Xian is blessed and safe." The palace members of the Emerald Palace knelt down on the ground.

Concubine Xian lightly raised her hand, her posture was as noble and calm as ever.She stared, staring at Leng Xi who was slowly approaching her with a smile.

"Leng Xi pays respects to Concubine Xian, best wishes, empress."

Compared to Concubine Xian's well-dressed attire, Leng Xi's clothes are plain and simple. He is dressed in an elegant and white satin dress. The hem, cuffs and neckline of the clothes are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with silver thread, and the outer layer is covered with a moon cage gauze as thin as cicada's wings. The waterfall-like ink hair is tied up, and a jade bamboo leaf hairpin is picked up. The standard dress of a noble son of a big family, not a male concubine's dress.

Concubine Xian narrowed her starry eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This cousin is as beautiful as he is beautiful, but dressed like this, no wonder Yun Zhaoyi will make him look coldly at him, he obviously asked for it!

According to Concubine Xian's understanding, now that the raw rice has been cooked, even if Leng Xi is reluctant, he has entered the palace after all. Since he is a concubine, he should abide by the rules, otherwise all the consequences will be his own fault.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian suddenly thought of the emperor's emotions when he talked about Leng Xi just now—casual, but with subtle interest.

But that interest is definitely not a good intention. It's like treating a naughty beast. You can like to watch it, tease it, and play with it, but from the bottom of your heart, you don't care about it, and you can even crush it to death.

Concubine Xian shook her head secretly - such a person who likes to challenge the emperor's bottom line, but was born as a bastard, how could he be a queen?

It seems that Mom and Dad really care too much——If Leng Xi continues like this, I don't need to get rid of him, he will make mistakes soon, so why does Mom want me to beware of him?

"Concubine Xi's birthday is divided." Concubine Xian withdrew her distracted thoughts, stepped forward to hold Leng Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't look at anything else, we are also cousins. If Concubine Xi doesn't mind, call me Just call me cousin."

Leng Xi stared back at Concubine Xian's kind eyes, her lips curled up, and she lowered her head in shyness, and said softly, "Cousin."

"Oh, that's really good. Then my cousin will call Concubine Xi Xi'er from now on."

Leng Xi's phoenix eyes smiled, nodded lightly, and said obediently: "My cousin likes it, so I can call you Xi'er whatever."

Leng Xi calmly glanced at Pearl who was following behind, and saw that she was holding the emperor's pair of calligraphy in her hand, and she understood, "Cousin is also here to visit Xi'er today?"

Of course Concubine Xian knew that he was referring to Yun Zhaoyi's provocation here in the morning, and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Xi'er, you just entered the palace yesterday. Now it's here—Xi'er won't blame her cousin for coming late, right? Speaking of which, we siblings haven't seen each other for a long time."

Leng Xi also smiled, "No matter what my cousin said, as long as my cousin is willing to come, no matter when, Xi'er will look forward to it."

Concubine Xian patted Leng Xi's hand seemingly in favor, "Xi'er's mouth is really sweet, but it just so happened that the emperor asked me to teach Xi'er poetry and painting, and I was actually borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Leng Xi's phoenix eyes froze, as if she hadn't reacted, and said strangely: "Did the emperor read Xi'er's poem?"

"That's not true." Concubine Xian also looked puzzled, and said lightly: "The emperor just looked at the concentric knot that Xi'er made up, and didn't say anything, so he asked me to come and teach you. Maybe the emperor was a little busy at the moment. Come on, Xi'er, don't pay too much attention to it, there are always opportunities."

Leng Xi already knew that Murong Jing wouldn't read his poems, but on the surface he pretended to be a little disappointed and let out a low "oh".

Seeing Leng Xi's thoughts written on her face, Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel even more certain that this cousin is mentally weak, and that he might not live well in the harem.

"Good Xi'er, don't think about it, let's go in and have a look at this poem and painting together?"

After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she led Leng Xi to the main hall, but the two of them hadn't taken a few steps when they heard a palace maid running up behind them, panting, "My Lady Xian! My Lady Xian!"

It turned out to be the jewel in charge of taking care of the third prince in Concubine Xian's palace.

"Mingzhu!" Concubine Xian was taken aback, as if thinking of something, panic flashed across her beautiful eyes, "What's wrong? But what happened to Lin'er?"

"Third Prince", Mingzhu was also in a hurry, and quickly said: "The Third Prince is crying, the slaves and wet nurses can't help it! Please go back to the palace to see the Third Prince!"

"Cousin." Leng Xi looked at Mingzhu, made sure she wasn't pretending, and echoed, "You should go back first, the third prince, Jingui, can't tolerate any mistakes. Everything is fine with Xi'er. Cousin will come to teach Xi'er at another time." Learning poetry and painting is not bad."

Concubine Xian glanced at Leng Xi, but saw that his face was calm and showed no emotion, she nodded and said: "Okay, I will come to see you again when Lin'er is fine!"

After she finished speaking, she left with a mighty group of people.

Leng Xi looked at the calligraphy that was taken away by the pearl again, his phoenix eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Leng Xi's silence, Yan Ran couldn't help asking curiously: "Just now...why did you deliberately show weakness in front of Concubine Xian?"
