"Okay, Lord Zhao, you don't have to keep patting the ass of this king and the princess, you also know that this king has always disliked these."

Xiao Jingcong directly warned Zhao Rushen in front of him, Zhao Rushen is a smart person, so he naturally understood Xiao Jingcong's meaning in seconds for the first time, and his mouth swirled in response to the Tao.

"Yes, yes, yes! The lower official understands, the lower official understands! ”

"However, this king has heard that Lord Zhao is also very fond of beauties, and the beauties in the house are comparable to the beauties in the backyard of the inner palace, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Xiao Jingcong raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and asked Zhao Rushen meaningfully.

In fact, Zhao Rushen's preference for women is no secret in the entire court.

Almost all the officials, ministers, and relatives of the emperor who have worked with him know that he has such a habit.

But people know it well, and they don't say anything about it, like Xiao Jingcong, it's the first time that he gets straight to the point and breaks it down.

Xiao Jingcong's intention is also very simple, the purpose is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, is to intimidate that Zhao Rushen, all your secrets are in the hands of this king, so it is best not to think about playing any tricks.

If this Zhao Rushen truthfully admits it, it means that he is really afraid of Xiao Jingcong and does not dare to hide it.

If he denied it, it means that he didn't take Xiao Jingcong in his eyes at all, and was just dealing with it perfunctorily.

Sure enough, when Zhao Rushen heard Xiao Jingcong ask, the look of surprise on his face flashed, and he quickly disappeared.

However, the change in his face was still captured by Xiao Jingcong.

Zhao Rushen's face showed a smile that was embarrassed and not courteous, looked at Xiao Jingcong in front of him, hurriedly waved his hand, and flatly denied it.

"Rumors, it's all rumors! Lord Xiao, you must be aware of everything! Can't let those people ruin the reputation of the lower officials! ”

Saying that, Zhao Rushen also rolled up his sleeve robe and brushed it on his face, posing as if he wanted to cry or not, and Yan Zixi on the side felt a wave of nausea in his stomach.

"This Lord Zhao is even more disgusting than that Chen County Order!" Yan Zixi rolled her eyes, too lazy to continue looking at him.

And after Xiao Jingcong listened to Zhao Rushen's answer, he probably understood what the other party's attitude was towards him.

"Very good, old fox, since you want to play with this king, then this king will accompany you to have a good time!"

Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, and didn't ask any more questions, just followed Zhao Rushen and continued to walk towards the back garden.

Passing through the front courtyard, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants next to it, and each pot looks like it is worth a lot.

Although Yan Zixi didn't know these flowers and plants, she was attracted by the beauty of those flowers and plants for the first time, and she couldn't help but admire them in her mouth.

"Lord Zhao is so Yaxing, there are still so many beautiful flowers and plants in the yard?"

Without waiting for Zhao Rushen to answer, Xiao Jingcong on the side took the lead in speaking, pouting and explaining: "Xi'er, you may not know yet, right? Every pot of flowers and plants here has a great history! ”

Xiao Jingcong said as she pointed to the pot of golden chrysanthemums located on Yan Zixi's side, "For example, this pot of golden chrysanthemums next to you is a special Yanbei fragrant chrysanthemum of Yanmen Pass, and this pot alone is worth a thousand gold!" ”

"What?! This pot of flowers is worth a thousand taels? ”

Yan Zixi grew her mouth, and her face was incredible, she still underestimated this Zhao Rushen too much.

Well, today is an eye-opener!

No wonder in the past, whether it was in the Jingwang Mansion or the Second Prince's Mansion, the wives and ladies of those dignitaries and nobles said that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was too frugal. 16

Yan Zixi didn't have this probability before, but now she finally understands what is going on.

Such a precious flower would never appear in the Zhenguo General's Mansion!

And Zhao Rushen is just the Yin of Gyeonggi Mansion, but his house has planted so many pots of precious flowers and plants, you can imagine how much wealth he has amassed over the years?

This can still be seen, let alone what cannot be seen.

This is not the point, the point is that this Zhao Rushen put so many precious flowers and plants in such a conspicuous position in the courtyard, and he didn't worry about anyone seeing it at all. Its arrogance can definitely ignite a mountain of flames.

Zhao Rushen heard Xiao Jingcong's ridicule, his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained to himself.

"Lord Xiao, Princess Xiao, don't get me wrong, Xiaguan is a person who likes flowers and plants, and these flowers and plants are all congratulatory gifts from colleagues in the DPRK and China on Xiaguan's birthday!"

"Lord Zhao, why be nervous? Xi'er is a folk woman, I don't know the preciousness of these flowers and plants, and this king just explained to Xi'er. Lord Zhao, is there a ghost in your heart? Xiao Jingcong turned her head and glanced at Zhao Rushen meaningfully.

Frightened, Zhao Rushen hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Prince Xiao Mingjian, the lower officials have always been diligent in government and love the people, obey the law and abide by the law, and never dare to do anything that violates the grace of the saint!" ”

Zhao Rushen deliberately brought out the emperor's coercion, Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, sneered, glanced at Zhao Rushen, and stretched out his hand to let him get up.

"Alright, Lord Zhao, hurry up! If I break your knees, will not the king become a sinner? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Xiao Wang Ye laughed. Zhao Rushen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and after getting Xiao Jingcong's permission, he stood up and continued to lead the way for Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.

Soon, the three of them walked through the front courtyard and came to the main hall of the back garden.

Zhao Rushen stopped, quickly turned around, and said respectfully to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.

"Lord Xiao, Princess Xiao, we have arrived, please! Please take a seat! ”

Zhao Rushen made a gesture of "please", Xiao Jingcong was not polite to him, and led Yan Zixi to sit on the main seat of the main hall.

After sitting down, Xiao Jingcong was a little unhappy, deliberately looking for stubble, and scolded Zhao Rushen.

"Lord Zhao, this king has been doing it for a long time, why don't you even have a person to serve tea and water? Is this how you Shuntianfu receives guests? Lord Zhao, don't make it difficult for this king, if you join you in front of the emperor, even if you are a veteran of the two dynasties, I am afraid that your black gauze hat will not be able to protect it! ”

Does Xiao Jingcong really care about this tea? No, he doesn't care, what he cares more about is Zhao Rushen's attitude.

But this Zhao Rushen was respectful to himself on the surface, but in fact, he didn't take him seriously in his heart.

Whether it is from the question just now, or the casual attitude towards himself now, it shows that Zhao Rushen just wants to send Xiao Jingcong away as soon as possible.

When Zhao Rushen heard Xiao Jingcong's anger, he hurriedly bent down and bowed, and apologized in his mouth and said, "Lord Xiao forgives me!" It's the negligence of the lower officials, Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao, please sit down for a while, and the lower officials will go and order those subordinates to make the best fragrant tea in the mansion for you to entertain! ”

After saying that, Zhao Rushen hurriedly walked out, and he didn't know if he really went to order his subordinates, or why he went.

After Zhao Rushen left, the corners of Xiao Jingcong's mouth curved an arc, looked at Yan Zixi, who was speechless beside him, and asked with a smile.

"Xi'er, what do you think of this Gyeonggi Mansion Yin Zhao Rushen?"

"He? is cunning and cunning, and the city is very deep, so he is not an easy character to deal with! ”

Yan Zixi paused slightly as she spoke, and then looked at Xiao Jingcong with a worried face, "Jingcong, you must be careful!" Don't be in a hurry. Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry! ”
