Chapter 142: Auspicious Fall from the Sky
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't even dare to say a word.
Of all the people present, except for King Jin, who looked leisurely and complacent, only Ruan Jiaqing was still eating her dim sum indifferently, as if this had nothing to do with her.
The emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, their faces are all very ugly, especially the emperor, who is about to have a myocardial infarction.
Obviously, the emperor is now also afraid of the power of the King of Jin, if this is above the court, there will be officials who are not afraid of death to stand up and support the King of Jin, but the people present today are all clan relatives.
These clansmen have long learned to leave things alone and hang high, so it is wise for them to do so. After all, they didn't want to be victims of the emperor's struggle against King Jin.
After a long time, the emperor picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip lightly, and then said with a smile: "King Jin, didn't I say it, today is only about brotherhood, regardless of monarchs and ministers, so it's better for us to talk about family life today." ”
The emperor found a step down by himself, and the king of Jin no longer brushed his face, but was cold and did not answer.
"By the way, my sister has been married into the palace for so long, why hasn't there been any movement in her stomach?" Ruan Jingting glanced at Ruan Jiaqing's flat lower abdomen, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Because she knew that Ruan Jiaqing had been given Juezi soup by Gu's mother and daughter, Ruan Jiaqing would never have any more children in her life, she wanted to laugh at Ruan Jiaqing with this matter, but she didn't know that the Juezi soup had no effect on Ruan Jiaqing, because she had taken a lot of all-purpose antidote pills later, and she had already completely solved all the toxins in the Juezi soup.
She didn't know that Ruan Jiaqing's child in her womb was three months old, but the palace was low-key, and she didn't want to talk to outsiders about this kind of thing.
There was a hint of chill in Ruan Jiaqing's eyes in an instant, clear as autumn water, cold as ice, Ruan Jiaqing's gaze always made Ruan Jingting a little afraid.
Could it be that Ruan Jiaqing knows something? But it is expected that Ruan Jiaqing is only guessing and afraid, if she has evidence, she will definitely expose her on the spot.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jingting calmed down. It's just that before Ruan Jiaqing could reply to her words, she heard a cold voice and said faintly: "Miss Ruan Si, when will it be your turn to ask about this king's family affairs?" ”
King Jin's eyes were as deep as they were, and his gaze was even more terrifying than Ruan Jiaqing. He was like an asura from hell, and just one look at her could make her heart tremble.
Looking at this handsome and invincible man, her heart was not only afraid, but also tempting.
"Ting'er is just kind, just greet my sister, and hope that King Jin will not be surprised." Ruan Jingting's weak tone and autumn water-like eyes looked pitifully at King Jin.
When Ruan Jiaqing saw her like this, she remembered how she hooked up with Xiao Yu in the palace, she now has a big belly, and she dares to throw flattery at Xiao Yu.
Ruan Jiaqing ignored her and ate the cut fruit on the plate. In this winter, the fruit is still specially steamed with hot spring water, otherwise it will be so cold that you can't eat it.
There is an ice cellar in the palace, and the fruits of the four seasons must be well preserved, so even though it is winter, there are fruits of all seasons.
However, this is only qualified for the emperor and others, if it is not a banquet for the clan relatives today, they will not be entertained at all.
Ruan Jingting didn't expect that no matter how pitiful she was, King Jin was still unwilling to look at her more, as always.
Once, she was also so madly infatuated with King Jin, if it weren't for Ruan Jiaqing, she felt that she would definitely be able to bed King Jin's bed and become his princess.
Later, Ruan Jiaqing designed to frame her and the prince, and she had no choice but to marry the prince.
This seems to be the best arrangement for her, and Ruan Jiaqing still wants her to be grateful to Dade, which is simply ridiculous. What's so good about the prince, unless his status is a little more valuable, it's simply useless, and it's not as good as King Jin at all.
She entered the prince's mansion, although the prince also doted on her, but the prince never had her in his heart.
She was lonely and unbearable, and felt that all this pain was brought to her by Ruan Jiaqing. Later, with the imprisonment of the crown prince, her hatred for Ruan Jiaqing in her heart became deeper and deeper.
To this day, Ruan Jiaqing embarrassed her in public, and Ruan Jingting's silver teeth were about to be crushed.
Ruan Jiaqing will not let her go, and she will not let Ruan Jiaqing have a good time.
However, after Ruan Jingting said this, everyone's eyes looked at Ruan Jiaqing's stomach.
King Jin has been married for almost a year, and now he has no children. The clan relatives couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Among all the children of the first emperor, the prince was left with only the emperor and the king of Jin, and some branches on the side, the same generation had already become a family and gave birth to a baby, only this king of Jin was the latest to get married.
Before this, there were rumors in Kyoto that the King of Jin did not love women, and he never approached women, if it wasn't for the emperor's marriage, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a proper princess, let alone any children.
Although after he got married, he changed his normal behavior and doted on the princess, and the two of them also showed their affection in public from time to time, but this may just be an appearance.
If they were so loving, how could they not have a child?
Hearing everyone's discussions, the corners of the emperor's mouth finally showed a smile, he just couldn't see King Jin well, and he wished that King Jin would have no children in his life.
"Princess, you and King Jin are married by me personally, how can they be married for almost a year, you should hurry up and spread the branches for King Jin." The emperor squinted his eyes with a pleasant expression.
"Your Majesty, our prince is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep for state affairs, how does this concubine give birth to a child for the prince?" Ruan Jiaqing put down the snack in his hand and replied lightly.
This sentence slapped the emperor's old face.
He is an emperor who pampers and treats himself all day long, while the king of Jin works day and night for state affairs, what a stark contrast.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Ruan Jiaqing said again: "The prince went to disaster relief a while ago, and almost lost his life, and after returning to Beijing, he has been cold. But he still cares about the soldiers and the people, and he doesn't care about his own body at all. ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of King Jin's mouth, looking at Ruan Jiaqing with a sly expression.
"King Jin is so for the country and the people, I am deeply grateful, it is my honor to have such a courtier, and it is also my great Chu's blessing." The emperor endured his anger and said such a sentence in a high-sounding manner.
But Ruan Jiaqing didn't seem to be satisfied, his bright eyes blinked, and he continued: "How can the emperor understand the prince, it is really a Ming Jun. ”
The emperor glanced at Ruan Jiaqing, he had long known that this woman was sharp-tongued, but he never thought that she would dare to embarrass him in public.
Originally, she was assigned to the King of Jin to marry, just to frustrate the spirit of the King of Jin and openly slap the King of Jin in the face, but now she is in the same camp as the King of Jin.
"Princess Bingxue is smart, with you by King Jin's side to take care of me, I can rest assured." The emperor's sharp gaze gently swept over Ruan Jiaqing's face.
Ruan Jiaqing responded unceremoniously: "Thank you for your praise." ”
King Jin's smile was almost uncontrollable, this girl was simply ...... It's a bit brazen!
It was late in the evening, and the temperature seemed to be cooler than when it came. Although the charcoal stove was lit in the banquet hall, Ruan Jiaqing still felt a little cold.
The king of Jin instructed Qiong'er: "Go to the carriage and get the princess's fox fur coat." ”
Qiong'er nodded, and then walked out.
Outside was guarded by guards, and Chengdong was also waiting outside, and when he saw Qiong'er coming out, he smirked.
"How did you get out?" Chengdong is concerned about the authentic.
"It's getting colder, I'll go get a coat for the princess." Qiong'er said gently.
Chengdong took care of Qiong'er's cold little hands in the palm of his hand, and sighed, Qiong'er felt much warmer, and her heart was even warmer.
Seeing that the wedding is approaching, Chengdong and Qiong'er are looking forward to this day, and soon, they will be able to have their own small family.
"Okay, I'll go first, lest the princess catch a cold." Qiong'er retracted her hand and raised her eyes to stare at Chengdong's handsome face.
The snow outside began to fall again, and Chengdong took off the coat he was wearing and wrapped it for Qiong'er, "Wearing it, if you catch a cold, I will feel distressed." ”
Qiong'er's heart is as sweet as eating honey, the child can be taught, Chengdong is stupid, and now he knows how to hurt people.
Or the princess is right, men have to be trained.
"Go back and stand under the eaves, I'll go back." Qiong'er said softly.
Chengdong suddenly felt a little inappropriate, it was getting dark, it was too dangerous for Qiong'er to go alone, so it was better for her to wait here, and it would be more appropriate for him to go and get his coat.
Joan laughed at him for being too nervous, but being careful wasn't a bad thing.
Qiong'er only listened to him, and stood here obediently waiting for him, Chengdong had long legs, walked fast, and he could come back in a while, so it was okay, so as not to freeze the princess.
Looking at the background of Chengdong's stride, Qiong'er felt a touch of emotion in her heart. She never thought that she would find a good person in her life, and she would definitely cherish it.
At the feast, it was time to eat, to drink, and before you knew it, more than an hour had passed.
The Queen Mother has only then stepped into the theme.
"Yesterday, news came from Yang An, saying that it was found in a village there that there was a sweet spring, and after the snow stopped, colorful clouds appeared in the sky, Qin Tianjian said that this is auspicious from the sky, this is a great joy, so the mourning family is happy, so everyone was summoned to the palace to share the good news." The queen smiled and said slowly.
Everyone got up one after another and said in unison: "God bless me and Chu, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”
"It can be seen that the emperor is destined to return, otherwise there would not be such auspiciousness." There was a clan relative who curried favor with the emperor, so he said so.
The emperor was naturally happy when he was stammered, but he saw King Jin looking very disdainful.
I saw King Jin smile coldly, he never believed in any auspiciousness, he didn't believe in Buddha, nor did he believe in fate, he only believed in man-made.
"King Jin, this is still the will of heaven, don't you believe it?"
King Jin replied lightly: "This king is not Qin Tianjian, so he doesn't understand this, but this king feels that the emperor's 'destiny' does not need to rely on an auspicious rui to prove it, he only needs to take good care of state affairs, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which is enough." ”
