Chapter 95: Under the Roof
In fact, Ji Cheng had already guessed that Wang Yueniang took the initiative to seduce the old emperor, she must have wanted to take revenge when she entered the palace, the Shen family bore the brunt, Shen Che must have the bottom in his heart, but he is not moving now, and Ji Cheng can't guess his plan.
Su Yun frowned, "Isn't it?" What is she for? The young ...... "What Su Yun didn't say in the future naturally implied that Emperor Jianping was too old, and Wang Yueniang's gains outweighed the losses."
When Ji Cheng and the others had an accident, Shen Qian knew about it among the sisters, and even Shen Wei didn't know about it. Later, when Wang Yueniang had an accident, they heard some rumors, but they didn't fully understand the inside story, and they were also suspicious of Wang Yueniang's loss of virginity. So Su Yun couldn't understand Wang Yueniang's behavior.
Shen Qian said: "What's the reason for this? You see that Wang Meiren is now walking with the wind, and even Gonggong Li next to the emperor respects her, this time there is no more majestic lady in the palace than Wang Meiren. ā
was talking about Wang Yueniang's majesty, and a little girl sneaked into the tent at the other end, her little face was miserable and white, but her speech was quite neat, "The third girl, the fifth girl collided with Wang Meiren, and she was being punished by Wang Meiren for kneeling at this time, so she knelt at the gate of the palace, and everyone looked at her. The five girls were aggrieved, saying that they didn't hit Wang Meiren at all, and they were crying a lot. ā
Ji Cheng and Shen Qian looked at each other and knew that Wang Yueniang was coming for revenge.
Shen Wei said angrily: "It's really too deceitful, even if you accidentally bump into it, you can't make Ah Cui kneel at the gate of the palace and be embarrassed." Shen Wei stood up with a "sigh", "I'll go find my mother." ā
With Princess An and Princess coming forward, Shen Cui naturally didn't have to kneel anymore, but when he turned his head, news came from the palace, saying that Wang Meiren had been promoted to the throne and concubine.
Now the situation of the princess is really full of flowers, that Princess An and Princess have just come forward for Shen Cui, Emperor Jianping in order to appease his little liver, immediately let her be promoted to the third level, Wang Yueniang has only been in the palace for about a month, this speed is not comparable to the original Wang Shufei and Huang Zhaoyi.
Ji Cheng patted the back of Shen Qian's hand and said, "Sister Qian, don't worry, it's better for the princess to take this breath, if she doesn't take this breath, we have to be more careful." ā
Shen Qian poked Ji Cheng's forehead, "I'm worried about you." ā
Ji Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go around the princess." This is naturally a word of comfort.
When Shen Cui came back, his knees were all blue, his eyes were red and swollen, and he scolded repeatedly with a sigh of relief, "Wang Yueniang, she deceives people too much." ā
Because the tents were limited, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui had a tent, and she easily coaxed Shen Cui to sleep.
Before noon the next day, Wang Yueniang held a banquet to entertain the ladies of various provinces. This autumn hunt is a fun event, either hunting or feasting.
When Ji Cheng followed Shen Qian and the others to the Heyu Palace, Wang Yueniang was holding a wine glass and feeding him in Emperor Jianping's arms.
As soon as she saw Ji Cheng enter, Wang Yueniang stood up and walked around the wine case to greet Ji Cheng with a smile on her face, and reached out to hold Ji Cheng's hand, "Sister Cheng, you can be regarded as here." I heard that you were sick the day before yesterday, and I regret it. You didn't even come to such a fun thing as the autumn hunt, so I naturally had to send someone to invite you. ā
This is said sweetly and crisply, and people who don't know will think that Ji Cheng and Wang Yueniang are so close. There are not only princesses and mothers such as Princess Anhe present today, but also princesses and princesses of various palaces, county lords, county lords, etc., in addition, the relatives and daughters are all there, Ji Cheng can be regarded as famous in the circle of nobles in the entire Beijing Division.
Even Ji Cheng himself didn't expect it.
Wang Yueniang turned around and pulled Ji Cheng to Emperor Jianping, "Your Majesty, do you see if my sister Cheng was born with a heavenly beauty?" The people of our Jingshi all say that my fourth sister is the first beauty in Beijing, but since Sister Cheng arrived in Beijing, Sister Siniang can only stand back. Anyway, no matter what others think and think, Wang Yueniang covered her mouth first and laughed "giggle", like a chicken mother.
However, Emperor Jianping loves Wang Yueniang's life, whether it is Wang Shufei or Huang Zhaoyi in the palace, they are a little old-fashioned, and the others also have palace maids of fresh colors, but they are either too timid or too calm, they are not as lively as Wang Yueniang, and the dying Emperor Jianping feels that he is young.
Other people's faces are hard to say, but Wang Siniang's face became ugly in an instant. Although she doesn't look down on the name of the first beauty, if she is suppressed by a merchant girl like Ji Cheng, how can Wang Siniang stand this breath.
And Wang Yueniang seemed to be deliberately against Wang Siniang, holding Emperor Jianping's arm and pushing and rubbing, "Your Majesty, you are a golden mouth and jade tooth, can you tell me whether my sister Siniang is beautiful, or Sister Cheng is more beautiful?" ā
Compared with Wang Siniang's white and miserable face, Ji Cheng's face is a little hot red, she was used by Wang Yueniang as a knife to cut Wang Siniang's flesh. Ji Cheng had already turned a lot of thoughts in his heart in an instant, this Wang family sister obviously had a falling out, but he didn't know why.
The ladies and girls sitting there all looked down on Wang Yueniang's style, but although Wang Yueniang was just a concubine, she was Emperor Jianping's heart now, and no one could help it, so they could only slander her.
But Emperor Jianping is really an old man, listening to Wang Yueniang's words, the cloudy eyes with drooping eyelids like dried eggplant skin glanced at Wang Siniang, and then glanced at Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng was still quite confident in his appearance, so before coming to the banquet, he specially put on the powder, a small face was white and blue, full of sick, weak and windless, and with a series of coughs, even Wang Yueniang couldn't pretend anymore, and hid to the side in disgust.
That Emperor Jianping is a true veterans of the flower country, there are not a thousand women in this life, there are also a hundred, although Ji Cheng is sickly, but he was born graceful, jade carving, ice skin, the spirit of Yueyun, and the demeanor of Huafu, which is really a rare beauty in this world.
Emperor Jianping's god flashed to Ji Cheng, in fact, he had already noticed this little girl during the Dragon Boat Festival last time, but Huang Zhaoyi was pregnant at that time, and he was afraid of the child, so he suppressed his impulse, and it was inevitable that he would be a little itchy today.
Wang Yueniang pulled Ji Cheng to Emperor Jianping, but not to let Emperor Jianping favor Ji Cheng, she shook the distracted Emperor Jianping dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, you are talking!" ā
Emperor Jianping came back to his senses at this time, Wang Yueniang is a small vinegar jar, she is extremely jealous, Emperor Jianping has been scared by her these days, and even Wang Shufei didn't dare to go, he and Wang Yueniang were hot, and they didn't want to annoy the little beauty, as for Ji Cheng, he could only let it go first. It's a bad luck every time.
Emperor Jianping is the emperor, and he has a little less scruples than ordinary people when he speaks, he looked at Wang Siniang, then at Ji Cheng, and said: "I'm afraid that your sister Cheng is three points higher." ā
Wang Yueniang laughed immediately, "Isn't it." ā
This is really a resounding slap in the face of everyone Wang Siniang, who thinks highly of herself. Wang Yueniang and Wang Siniang have been sisters for many years, how can she not know what Wang Siniang hates the most.
Ji Cheng was not shocked, lowered his chin slightly and said nothing, looking very elegant and calm.
After Wang Yueniang said these words, she should forget that there was a person like Ji Cheng, and just snuggled into Emperor Jianping's arms to laugh.
Ji Cheng could only stand stupidly in public, unable to advance or retreat, for fear of retreating privately, Wang Yueniang had something to say. At this time, the strength of someone in the family who is easy to talk to is revealed.
Princess An He said, "Ah Cheng, what are you still standing stupidly for?" Why don't you get your seat yet? ā
Ji Cheng recited "Amitabha" in his heart, it can be seen that the work of cooking for Princess An He on weekdays is really not in vain, Ji Cheng actually didn't expect Princess An He to treat her, just this sentence, it is worth it.
Wang Yueniang heard Princess An and Princess He speak, so she pretended to remember Ji Cheng suddenly, and said coquettishly: "Oh, look at my memory, Sister Cheng hurry up and sit down." ā
Looking back at Wang Yueniang, she said to Emperor Jianping: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate my sister Cheng, she is really capable of writing and martial arts, and she can paint on a par with my four sisters. ā
"Oh." Emperor Jianping responded meaningfully.
Ji Cheng listened to it and said "chuckle" in his heart, what is Wang Yueniang doing? Did she see her weaknesses? Ji Cheng was afraid to enter the palace to serve the old emperor.
As everyone spoke, the dancing girls in the pear orchard in the palace came in and played drums.
Although Emperor Jianping, who was seated, looked at those dancing girls, the blood all over his body had already flowed to the lower half of his body.
Wang Yueniang leaned on Emperor Jianping's arms delicately, her hand had already touched his crotch, and touched the soft object that could not stand up without taking medicine.
Although he can't stand up, he also has the meaning of raising his head slightly, and Emperor Jianping does not stop Wang Yueniang's movements, he just likes the charm of this little goblin, and he can let it go, and he has more taste than others, especially at this time, when everyone is watching, and it is a group of female relatives drinking and feasting, Emperor Jianping is even more interesting.
Fortunately, there is a wine case to cover the front, and the people below can't see Wang Yueniang's movements, but Emperor Jianping can't always eat here, there are ministers and nobles waiting for Emperor Jianping to drink and feast, Emperor Jianping originally didn't come to the side of the female dependents, but was pulled by Wang Yueniang.
Just because Wang Yueniang said that she was a newly sealed concubine and had no prestige, she was afraid that she would not be able to serve the public if she wanted to host such a big banquet, and said that although Wang Shufei and Huang Zhaoyi did not come to Nanyuan together, there were still two concubines who were higher than Wang Yueniang. Wang Yueniang must pull Emperor Jianping to support her, and Emperor Jianping can't help it.
After touching enough and drinking enough, Emperor Jianping's mind was still quite clear, and he removed Wang Yueniang's hand, "Okay, I've got over." ā
Wang Yueniang obediently removed her hand, pulled the sleeve of Emperor Jianping's robe and said, "The emperor is not allowed to look at those dancing foxes, otherwise I will not follow." ā
"I know, little vinegar jar." Emperor Jianping nodded the tip of Wang Yueniang's nose.
Ji Cheng occasionally peeked at Wang Yueniang very skillfully, and I have to say that Wang Yueniang's changes are really big. When she was a girl from the Wang family before, although Wang Yueniang's nostrils were open to the sky, reserved and arrogant, although her mind was too plain, so that she seemed reckless, she still looked like a lady and a lady. Look at Wang Yueniang in a crimson palace skirt today, although she is full of pearls, but how awkward she looks, she is very charming, and her habits are really a bit of the history of Tianxianglou.
But now Wang Yueniang's scheming is getting longer than before, although she used to have a powerful mouth, but her mind was so simple that she was close to stupidity, but now she knows how to pinch her feet when dealing with people.
By suppressing the competitive Wang Siniang, and Shen Cui, who likes to save face but actually feels inferior because of Ji Lan's background, made her kneel outside the palace gate and embarrassed, so that Shen Cui was ashamed to pretend to be sick in the tent today and did not dare to see anyone.
And to deal with Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng will not be meaninglessly competitive, and he doesn't care if he loses face or not, so Wang Yueniang didn't deal with her so much, but when she pushed Ji Cheng in front of the emperor vigorously, Ji Cheng was already scared for three points.
The local mountain delicacies roast meat, singing, dancing and drinking, may be more attractive to men, the women here sit for an hour or two and are tired, because Wang Yueniang is nowhere to be found, so everyone is looser, led by An and the princess, etc., out of the palace to the mountain leisurely.
Ji Cheng followed Shen Qian and the others out together, and before they walked back to the camp, a little waiter came over, saying that the princess was invited. Shen Qian was going to accompany Ji Cheng together, but the little waiter said: "Wang Concubine Niangniang only passed on Miss Ji alone. ā
Shen Qian had no choice but to give up.
This is imperial power, even if Wang Yueniang is just a dog in front of Emperor Jianping, but she only makes a snort, and she is more vicious than other dogs.
When Ji Cheng saw Wang Yueniang, Wang Yueniang had already changed her riding clothes, the attendant pulled the horse and followed her, and there were bows and arrows and quivers hanging on the saddle, which was also a plan to hunt.
Ji Cheng respectfully saluted Wang Yueniang, Wang Yueniang sneered, at this time, just the two of them in private, even the inner servants avoided it, and Wang Yueniang naturally didn't have to pretend to be kind anymore.
Wang Yueniang looked at Ji Cheng and said, "Miss Ji, isn't it strange why I treated you like that?" ā
It's strange to say it's strange, but it's not strange to say it's not strange, but Ji Cheng can't refute Wang Yueniang's face anyway, his eyes showed a slight panic, his hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and his voice trembled slightly with a little flaw, "Yes." ā
Wang Yueniang glanced at Ji Cheng disdainfully, she had never looked at this merchant girl, and snorted coldly: "You don't have to put gold on your face, an insignificant insect like you can't make a lot of trouble for me to deal with you." The reason why I punished you at the beginning was just to punish Shen Cui by the way. ā
Hehe, selling people to Tianxianglou in exchange for Wang Yueniang's mouth has become a "punishment".
Wang Yueniang walked up to Ji Cheng and whispered in her ear: "You must know about that, right?" You know that I found someone to deal with you and Shen Cui, right? ā
Wang Yueniang's voice was deliberately low and sharp, deliberately imitating the legendary old witch, but unfortunately she was shorter than Ji Cheng, and the momentum created in this way could not suppress Ji Cheng at all. But Ji Cheng still had to show trepidation, "I, I'm ......"
Wang Yueniang sighed, and probably realized the height difference, she was too close to Ji Cheng and lost her advantage, so she took three more steps with Ji Cheng on her back, and then said: "Actually, I didn't understand anything at that time, and I never thought of using such means to punish you, do you know who mentioned Jian YƬ?" ā
Ji Cheng shook his head.
Wang Yueniang's voice became sharper because of resentment, as if the tip of an iron sword scraped the ground, "It's my good sister Wang Siniang who everyone praises for mentioning yƬ, and it is also the story she told me to the eldest girl." You said that it is ridiculous or not, the method is what she thought, and she also built it for me to find Chen Bin, but in the end, she didn't have anything, and you Shen family's idiots came to harm me if you didn't correct the culprit. Speaking of this, Wang Yueniang stopped and began to laugh.
When Wang Yueniang had laughed enough and tears came out, Ji Cheng heard her say again: "Let me tell you the truth, now that I am in hell, I am here to take revenge, and I want to drag all those who bullied me into hell." Are you afraid? Wang Yueniang said quietly.
"Wang Concubine Niangniang, I don't know anything." Ji Cheng was about to cry, his eyes were red, and he was so frightened that he trembled, as pitiful as a rabbit in the ice and snow.
Wang Yueniang became more and more disdainful when she saw it, "You naturally don't know anything." "Just based on Ji Cheng's background, what does the Shen family do, where will they sue her, "But if you hadn't helped her win the Zhongtan performance in order to please Shen Cui, there would have been no such things later, and now it's too late to regret anything." I will inevitably deal with the Shen family, you weigh it yourself, how the emperor treats me, you saw it today, even if you have this face, as long as I am here, you will not be able to enter the emperor's eyes. ā
Wang Yueniang walked up to Ji Cheng again, stretched out her index finger and middle finger and lifted Ji Cheng's chin, "Yo, I'm really pitiful, what if I ruin your face?" ā
Ji Cheng was so frightened that he almost didn't pee his pants, Wang Yueniang's sharp armor scraped Ji Cheng's jaw, and immediately left a blood mark.
"Mother, happy and angry." Ji Cheng closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling like catkins in the wind.
"You look like you're not coming out." Wang Yueniang let go of her hand, "Ji Cheng, I'll give you a chance, you can choose to take refuge in me, I can not blame the past, otherwise, today will be your death." I'm not scaring you, do you think the Shen family will go against me now for the sake of just you? It's easier for me to pinch you to death than it is for an ant. ā
Ji Cheng didn't even think about it: "Ask Niangniang to spare her life, Niangniang has to tell me anything." ā
Seeing Ji Cheng's cowardice, Wang Yueniang looked down on her more and more, "As long as you listen to me obediently, I will naturally keep you." ā
Ji Cheng looked at Wang Yueniang like this, and knew that he had guessed Wang Yueniang's mind correctly. She showed herself like this, and she must have asked herself to help her do something. All the city defenses were broken from the inside, and Wang Yueniang was smart and knew that she was looking for someone to do something in the Shen family. And when she thought about this person, she knew that Ji Cheng was the most suitable.
The businessman must only be running for interests, and he is the most ruthless, once the Shen family has the possibility of destruction, the businessman will definitely be the first to run.
"But according to Niangniang's instructions, I only ask Niangniang to spare the people's daughter, and the people's daughter is just an ant-like person compared to Niangniang, and she also begs Niangniang to be gracious." Ji Cheng begged for mercy and peeked at Wang Yueniang, for fear that he would use too much force.
As a result, I don't know if Ji Cheng is too good at acting, anyway, Wang Yueniang was really coaxed by Ji Cheng's cowardice. This person's IQ has increased by leaps and bounds in a month.
"Niangniang, will the Shen family really be destroyed?" Ji Cheng asked in disbelief.
Wang Yueniang glanced at Ji Cheng, "Idiot." Look at the current situation in the palace, you said that once my sister Wang Shufei gains power, or I gain power, will there be a good Shen family in the future? Even if Huang Zhaoyi is powerful, what does it have to do with the Shen family? To be a man, you have to take a long-term view. ā
This is still a little convincing, Wang Yueniang finally said something dry, but unfortunately Ji Cheng had already understood this situation. But Ji Cheng didn't think that Wang Yueniang would gain power, people's brains were broken, so don't think about the rest.
"You know? Wang Shufei and Huang Zhaoyi are both hot stoves, you don't want to get in line for a lifetime, if you are smart, you should know how to choose, right? If you are obedient, it is not impossible to let your Ji family become an imperial merchant in the future. Wang Yueniang said.
Ji Cheng thought to himself, the imperial businessmen were exploited everywhere, and they were exploited by the palace attendants, but the Ji family disdained to be the imperial businessman, that is, he had a good name.
Ji Cheng thought for a while and said, "I understand Niangniang's kindness. In fact, to be honest, I came to the capital just to ask for a family business, but no one from the Shen family came forward to help me, and I was going to be sixteen years old......"
Wang Yueniang's eyes swept towards Ji Cheng this time were much softer, Ji Cheng was cowardly just now, but Wang Yueniang might not trust her, but when she heard Ji Cheng complain, she knew that she was impressing Ji Cheng.
"What's the matter? As long as you help me, I can ask the emperor to marry whoever you want. ā
"Really!" Ji Cheng was like picking up a gold ingot that had fallen from the sky, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Naturally!" Wang Yueniang is confident.
Ji Cheng rubbed his hands happily, "If Niangniang can really help me, I, I, I am willing to go to Daoshan for Niangniang." ā
Wang Yueniang saw that the fire was almost burning, so she pulled Ji Cheng over and whispered. In fact, Wang Yueniang also knew that she was too anxious, but she couldn't do it if she wasn't in a hurry, Emperor Jianping's body was not as good as day by day, and she shared the bed with him every day, which was the most clear. So the matter can no longer be delayed, if it drags on, once Emperor Jianping returns to heaven, Wang Yueniang's great revenge in this life will not be avenged.
Wang Yueniang had to make a dangerous move.
Wang Yueniang's planning can be called direct and crude, about limited knowledge, and it is always inseparable from the words of destroying people's innocence. And Ji Cheng was very skeptical about its feasibility.
