Chapter 34: The Emperor Falls in Love with a Great Traitor (18)

I often walk by the river, where there are no wet shoes.

Recently, rumors about Jiang Pengpeng have spread like a plague.

"Hey, have you heard? The emperor has been retired from the court for several months, and he has stayed in the Chengming Hall with the general. ”

"Everyone knows this kind of thing, how can they not hear of it!"

When the news spread from the words of several maids and guards in the palace to the outside of the palace, it changed the word again.

"I heard that the emperor leaves the general in the palace every day for the night!"

"I've also heard that a cousin in my palace said that the two of them shared the same bed!"

"Hey, what a bad moral!"

In a tavern, several people exchanged heads and talked about each other.

"You know what? The emperor is going to put the general in the harem! ”

"Not only that, I also heard that the general has been suffering from a stomach ache recently, and he hasn't been to the court!"

If you want to say what spreads the fastest, it is, of course, public opinion and rumors.

Overnight, the topic of the emperor and the general spread throughout the capital, and it was even developing in Dizhou.

Jiang Pengpeng has also been anxious recently, and every day when he enters the palace, he will always usher in countless strange eyes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen should come to Chengming Hall as little as possible in the future."

As soon as Jiang Pengpeng's words came out, he obviously felt that Jun Chengyuan's hand was stagnant, and his eyes were a little more unusually cold, but they soon disappeared.

"Oh? Isn't there anything unspeakable about Aiqing? ”

Jun Chengyuan looked at Jiang Pengpeng knowingly, "Or is Aiqing unwilling to grind ink for me anymore?" ”

Jiang Pengpeng's heart trembled, what kind of trouble is this uncertain king?

"Of course not, Weichen is just afraid that the grinding ink will not be delicate enough, which will affect the emperor's review and review."

"Aiqing is too worried." Jun Chengyuan's complexion eased instantly, and he said casually: "Aiqing is also the age of a 'weak crown' now." ”

He deliberately bit the word "weak crown", as if to remind her of her identity, Jiang Peng knelt on the ground solemnly: "Please ask the emperor to give you sin!" ”

"Oh? What is Aiqing's crime? Jun Chengyuan was not in a hurry to demolish her, but threw the question to her.

"Your Majesty, Weichen committed the crime of defrauding the monarch and deliberately concealed the identity of his daughter." She gritted her teeth and held it all out in front of him.

Jun Chengyuan took a sip of the tea in front of him, got up and helped her up, "Aiqing thinks that if I blame you, why haven't I talked to you about this matter so far, let alone talk to you about political affairs all day long?" ”

When Jun Chengyuan said these words, Jiang Pengpeng was also silent, she looked at Jun Chengyuan with some puzzlement, "Your Majesty, why are you ......?"

Jiang Pengpeng wanted to speak and stopped, she still couldn't ask, from the last time to today, she has been trembling, and even prepared for the worst, but in the blink of an eye, months have passed, and Jun Chengyuan has not mentioned a word about this matter.

"Why didn't I demolish you?"

Jun Chengyuan asked along with Jiang Pengpeng's words.

She nodded, her dark eyes mixed with too much incomprehension.

"Although, since ancient times, it is true that there is a saying that women do not participate in court politics, but for me, gender does not represent anything at all.

If a country's courtiers will do whatever it takes to defend the king, even their reputation, their lives, and are loyal to the king, then why don't I? ”

Jun Chengyuan's words made Jiang Pengpeng inexplicably have a kind of admiration for her.

"Your Majesty."

"What are you doing?" Jun Chengyuan shook his head, his eyes were full of appreciation, and even revealed a different kind of emotion.

"If you want to say thank you, it should be me, Yining has done too much for me, so I have decided, I will not tell anyone your identity, but your age is not too young, and you don't plan to ...... Starting a family? ”

Jiang Pengpeng smiled, naturally she also heard Jun Chengyuan change her title, and inexplicably tightened the distance, she actually had a feeling of amazement, and simply sat on the cushion next to Jun Chengyuan, curled her legs slightly, and her eyes drifted to the outside of the window lattice.

"Weichen naturally wants to start a family, but if I can't have a wishful marriage, then I'd rather be like this for the rest of my life, and when I'm bored, I go to have a drink with my confidants and old friends.

"What kind of marriage is Yining looking forward to?"

"A couple for a lifetime."

Jun Chengyuan's profound gaze lit up with Jiang Pengpeng's words, and instantly sank again, "One life and one couple, Yining, do you know that since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, and women have ended up from the beginning." ”

Jun Chengyuan always thought that he still knew something about her, until she said this, he suddenly sobered up, and his heart suddenly shook like an empowerment.

Maybe it's because the two of them have been together for too long recently that he has that illusion.

"I know it, so I chose to wander the world."

Jiang Peng still had a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

From her, Jun Chengyuan seems to see the shadow of him back then, not what he wanted, he would rather give up, and want to fight against fate to the end, but in the end he will still succumb to fate.

Jun Chengyuan's thoughts drifted to the time after the establishment of the throne, from his accession to the establishment of the throne, it has always been his mother concubine in Zhang Luo, the queen is not the woman he loves, and even most of the concubines are the result of the marriage of the forces of the DPRK and China.

When Jiang Pengpeng stepped out of the Chengming Palace, her heart was a little heavy, every world she traveled through, everyone she met, even if the other party was just her mission goal, she would still seriously invest in her feelings.

This kind of relationship is different from the kind of emotion she put into acting in the first world, where she will treat them as characters in real life, and she will repay them tenfold if they treat her well.

It's just that the most difficult thing at the moment is not other problems, but how to reverse it in the face of popular rumors?

The emperor is a mediocre king to the people, and the general is a demon to the people!

"Yining," Jun Chenghao ran over from afar, as if he was waiting for her here on purpose.

"Lord Wang, why are you here?"

"It just so happens that I'm going to find the royal brother for something."

Jiang Pengpeng inexplicably found that today's Jun Chenghao was a little strange.

After a brief greeting, Jiang Pengpeng didn't think too much.

Xing Qi was still waiting for her at the gate of the palace.

"General." Xing Qi saluted respectfully, unlike in the past, he didn't have too many words along the way, but became silent.

Jiang Pengpeng naturally noticed his strangeness, "Xing Qi, do you have anything to say to Ben General?" ”

Xing Qi was stunned, and was a little hesitant when his own general guessed what he was thinking, "General, subordinates...... There really is something to say. ”
