Situ Jing told the Queen Mother about Shui Ling'er's injury, and the Queen Mother reprimanded: "The two princes of Yanhou are really messing around, if the feather arrow is at the wrong point, won't it kill people?"

"They are still young, and the retainers plan to ask them to go to the army to hone their training." Since Yan Xia and Yan Mi are the sons of the county lord of Mingsheng, this kind of punishment is already the most lenient.

"That's good, the queen mother will give you a decree directly, and Mingsheng will not complain."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

At this time, the grandmother in the palace walked in and said respectfully, "Queen Mother, Princess Rongye is here."

The queen smiled and said, "Let her in."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother took Situ Jing's hand and said with a chuckle, "Rong Ye is a good girl, and the Queen Mother likes it very much."

Situ Jing understood what the Queen Mother meant, and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen is only willing to marry Shui Ling'er as his wife in this life, and he will give birth to a couple in the world, no matter how good Princess Rongye is, Erchen will not be blessed."

"What kind of stupid thing to say, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, but you have to marry only one woman as a wife like the emperor, and as a result, the descendants of the royal family wither, endangering the society and the country."

Situ Jing frowned and said, "The queen mother has thought about it a lot, in the royal family, it is normal for a woman to give birth to more than five princes, the emperor and queen are young, and the prince has just been born for less than a year, and there will be another prince in the future."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "The Queen Mother knows that you like Shui Ling'er, but Shui Ling'er is a wild girl in the countryside after all, and she is only worthy of being your concubine, not even a side concubine, and Rong Ye is the princess of Beiyan, so she is worthy of your identity as the king of Jing, so the queen mother plans to let Rong Ye be your concubine, and Shui Ling'er accepts her as a concubine."

Situ Jing said solemnly: "Queen Mother, Erchen is sincere to Shui Ling'er and will not let her be wronged."

The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "Look at what you said so deadly, I will make a conclusion after seeing Rong Ye."

Rong Ye was waiting outside, naturally hearing the conversation between the Queen Mother and Situ Jing, and the feeling that had just sprouted made her feel heartache.

Mama came to lead her into the main hall, she walked to the Queen Mother, and saluted respectfully: "Queen Mother, Wanfu Jin'an."

The Queen Mother happily helped her up and said, "I said you could be exempted from salutation." She took her hand and said, "Rong Ye, this is the King Jing I often tell you, you look at the talent that makes many women fascinated."

Situ Jing politely saluted Rong Ye before saying to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, you have exaggerated your words."

Rong Ye's cheeks flushed and said, "Queen Mother, I just saw King Jing in the Imperial Garden, fortunately King Jing rescued him, otherwise Rong Ye would have fallen from the tree in order to pick up the scarf."

The Queen Mother saw that Rong Ye liked King Jing, and said with satisfaction: "I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare lunch, and you will stay and eat with me."

Seeing the Queen Mother's resolute expression, Situ Jing knew that he had rejected the version, so he agreed.

King Jing's Mansion, in the room, Shui Ling'er slept until the evening and woke up, Mingsheng stewed chicken soup with his own hands to replenish Shui Ling'er's body, and she fed her spoon-by-spoon, which flattered Shui Ling'er.

Ming Sheng smiled and said, "When I saw you, I felt that I was kind to you, so I treated you as my daughter."

Yan Xia and Yan Mi thought that Ming Sheng was making amends for them, so they treated Shui Ling'er like this.

Yan Xia said with a smile on her face, "My mother has always wanted a daughter, so it's better to recognize Shui Ling'er as her goddaughter."

Yan Mi chimed in, "That's a good idea, I have one more sister."

Ming Sheng said kindly: "I heard Ah Jiu say that you have no mother since you were a child, so you might as well recognize me as a godmother, I will treat you like my own daughter." She is her daughter, and she just wants to find a reason to love her and spoil her openly.

Shui Ling'er agreed without much thought.

Fang Yu on the side couldn't help but be suspicious, and said, "Shui Ling'er, this is too sudden, wait for King Jing to come back, and then decide."

Shui Ling'er knew that Fang Yu was cautious, and said, "Then wait for Brother Jing to come back."

Fang Yu was glad that Shui Ling'er was not willful at this time, and he said to Ming Sheng, "Lord Ming Sheng, it's not too early."

Ming Sheng knew that Fang Yu was giving an order to evict guests, so he said to Shui Ling'er, "I'll come back tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he got up, saluted with Yan Xia Yanmi, and turned to leave.

When they walked out of the room, Fang Yu closed the door and said to Shui Ling'er solemnly, "Shui Ling'er, you have to be careful of them." After all, they are the people who say the Hou, and the Hou is the one who buys the murderer to kill Shui Ling'er.

Shui Ling'er wondered, "Why?" Lord Mingsheng treats her well, and she doesn't look like a bad person.

"Because Lord Mingsheng has never had any contact with King Jing, he is suddenly so concerned about you, I am afraid that I have other thoughts."

Shui Ling'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and said, "Brother Jing hasn't come back since he entered the palace?"

"King Fang Cai Jing sent someone back with a message, saying that the Queen Mother left him for dinner, and you don't have to wait for him at night, and you can sleep first when you are tired."

"Okay."

Late at night, Situ Jing returned to Jingwangfu.

In the study, Fang Yu told Situ Jing about today's Mingsheng County's recognition of Shui Ling'er as his goddaughter.

Situ Jing's face was solemn and silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Fang Yu, I'm afraid." It wasn't that he didn't notice Lord Mingsheng's strange behavior, but he was afraid to think in a deeper direction.

Seeing Situ Jing's helpless expression for the first time, Fang Yu frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Could it be that something big has happened?

"Before Ming Sheng married the Marquis of Yan, he rebelled against the marriage contract, fled from the palace, and was with a knight of the rivers and lakes, and was finally arrested by the emperor and made a marriage contract repeatedly, if the daughter of the lord of Ming Sheng and the knight of the rivers and lakes is Shui Ling'er, then Shui Ling'er and I, wouldn't it be incest?" If you think about it this way, the strange reaction of Lord Mingsheng can all be explained.

Fang Yu took a step or two back in shock, he had never thought of it like this, but Lord Mingsheng's reaction really made people suspect that Shui Ling'er was her daughter.

After a long time, Fang Yu seemed to have thought of something, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "King Jing, Shui Ling'er and you are not related."

"How so?"

"Fu Xi has always treated Shui Ling'er as a daughter, he must know Shui Ling'er's life experience, if you are related to Shui Ling'er, he will oppose you in the beginning, let alone agree to your marriage with Shui Ling'er."

Situ Jing listened to Fang Yu's analysis reasonably, and his hanging heart relaxed, and said, "I'll go find Shui Ling'er." I haven't seen her all day, but I have experienced the pain of missing.

Situ Jing returned to the room and saw Shui Ling'er lying on the table asleep, still holding a brush in one hand, and a pile of ghost-drawn papers next to him, he picked it up and looked at it for a while before he recognized the three words Shui Ling'er.

He chuckled and shook his head, looking down one by one, until he saw his own name, which made him stunned for a moment, and he actually imitated his signature in a subtle way, and the words in which she wrote her own name, almost like a different person.

The corners of his mouth were hooked, his heart was full of warmth, and he called softly, "Shui Ling'er." Seeing that she didn't react, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Shui Ling'er."

Shui Ling'er woke up suddenly, her body jumped, her hand instinctively waved up, and the ink-stained brush on her hand directly crossed Situ Jing's handsome face.

Situ Jing's face became gloomy, and his originally soft tone turned into gloomy, and he said, "Shui Ling'er."

Shui Ling'er looked up at Situ Jing, stunned, and said innocently, "Brother Jing, why are you drawing a line on your face?"

Situ Jing grabbed Shui Ling'er's face with both hands and said, "If someone makes a stroke on my face, then I will paint on her face." After speaking, he pasted it on Shui Ling'er's fair face and wiped it on her face suddenly.

Shui Ling'er smiled itchily and said, "Brother Jing, don't do it."

Situ Jing's movements didn't stop, and in less than a moment, Shui Ling'er's fair face was covered with black stains.

Situ Jing couldn't help but snicker, and said, "Shui Ling'er, your face is so beautiful."

When Shui Ling'er saw Situ Jing smiling for the first time, her sense of accomplishment suddenly increased, and she even tickled Situ Jing's body, and even rudely pulled his clothes.

Fang Yu, who came from outside, rarely heard Situ Jing's laughter, because the door was not closed, he walked directly into the room, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he instantly stood in place in embarrassment.

Situ Jing sat on the table, ** exposed shoulders, not to mention his disheveled clothes, Shui Ling'er also pulled the belt on his waist that was torn open with both hands, as if Shui Ling'er was going to strengthen Situ Jing.

But Shui Ling'er is a woman anyway, and Situ Jing is also dignified as a man, Fang Yu was silent for a moment before he couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence, "Your bodies are swapped again?"

Shui Ling'er's face was flushed suddenly, she casually tied the belt on her hand back to Situ Jing's waist, then pulled up his hanging clothes, and walked quickly towards the outside of the room, "I'll wash my face."

After Fang Yu saw her leave, he looked at the person who had been staring at him for a long time, and he said calmly, "King Jing, Princess Rong Ye will come to the mansion tomorrow."

Situ Jing stood up, straightened his clothes, nodded his head, and said, "Fang Yu, you have to wait until you are done before coming in."

Fang Yu smiled wryly and said, "Yes." How can they blame him for not closing the door?

The next day, Shui Ling'er slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Manager Chen told her that Situ Jing had not entered the palace in the mansion, and she happily ran to the garden, asking Situ Jing to take her to the street to play.

When she ran to the garden, she saw two people sitting in the gazebo playing chess, and she quickly hid behind a tree on the side.

In the pavilion, Situ Jing was playing chess quietly, Rong Ye frowned, and muttered, "Situ Jing, you let me play anyway, I've already lost several games in a row."

Situ Jing gave a son and said lightly, "You lost."

Rong Ye looked at the chessboard, although she lost, she was not unhappy, she held her cheek with one hand, looked at Situ Jing, and said with a bright smile: "I lost, then I will do whatever you want me to do."

Situ Jing glanced at her and said, "You go back to the palace." After saying that, he got up and left.

He has already fulfilled the requirements of the queen mother and accompanied Rong Ye for a few hours.

Rong Ye got up and chased after him, took his arm, and said coquettishly, "Don't drive me back to the palace, I want to stay here."
