Chapter 154: Moonlit Night
Chapter 154: Moonlit Night
Under the sun, Jin Shaokang's happy and satisfied smile stung Emperor Jing Xuan's eyes. The hands behind his back clenched into fists, and green tendons appeared on the backs of his hands. But the face is still 'wavering'.
He looked at Jin Shaokang and said lightly, "Is what I heard really a rumor?" I heard that for this matter, the Queen Mother once summoned you and your mother to the palace, but in the end there was no result. Although the tone was light, it revealed a kind of majesty.
Jin Shaokang was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that is already a thing of the past, at the beginning, Weichen and Neiko were a little unhappy, but now it is fine, there is no problem between me and Neiko." β
"No problem at all?" Emperor Jing Xuan repeated in a deep voice, remembering the scene when he saw them hugging each other in the forest before, and a sour feeling surged out of his heart. didn't care about anything else at the moment, and blurted out, "I heard that you haven't completed the house yet, and you still say that there is no problem at all?" β
Jin Shaokang raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing Xuan in surprise, and actually asked about this kind of thing?
Emperor Jing Xuan also realized his gaffe, his face turned pale, and he said softly: "Shaokang, I have always regarded you as a friend, and when I hear this matter, I can't help but want to 'intervene' in this matter, and I regret my hasty decision even more, so I will say this to you today." β
Jin Shaokang was relieved, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about Weichen, now ......" to mention this kind of thing in front of outsiders, it is naturally not in line with the etiquette that Jin Shaokang has always observed. But when he thought of the relationship between him and Jiang Ruonan, he naturally had to tell the truth and dispel the emperor's thoughts.
He lowered his head and whispered: "In the past, there was some unhappiness between Uchiko and Wechen, but now that Uchiko has accepted Wechen, after this hunt, we will ...... It will round the house...... So please rest assured that the emperor's original decision was not wrong, and Weichen had no intention of divorce his wife. β
If Jin Shaokang raised his head at this time, he would see Emperor Jing Xuan's abnormal reaction and pale face. As soon as he heard that they were about to have a round house, Emperor Jing Xuan couldn't control his emotions at all.
Was the decision right? Emperor Jing Xuan couldn't wait to smile at Tianchang, wrong! Miss by a mile!
It was he who sent her into the arms of another man with his own hands!
Wrong! Wrong!
Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something, and it hurt coldly. He turned around, controlled his emotions, and said in a calm tone as much as he could, "It seems that I really misunderstood, and it turned out to be so, so I didn't mention what I just said." You stand down. β
Jin Shaokang saluted and retreated, not taking the matter much to heart.
Emperor Jing Xuan has been standing by the spring since Jin Shaokang left, staring at a point in front of him, as if he was looking at something, and as if he hadn't seen anything. His face was blue and white, and he didn't leave until Huang Gui came to look for him.
On the other side, after Jiang Ruonan cautiously came out of the woods, he didn't walk long before he ran into Jiang Huanting who came out of the tent to breathe.
Jiang Huanting was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her face was still 'fine', but there was no joy on her face, and her expression seemed to be a little haggard.
Could it be that you are tired from traveling during this time? It stands to reason that she should be happy that she has fulfilled her long-cherished wish. Jiang Ruonan thought to herself. However, Jiang Ruonan was not interested in her affairs.
Although Jiang Huanting is a palace concubine at this time, she is only a nobleman and her rank is not high, and Jiang Ruonan is a first-class lady, so when she meets Jiang Huanting, Jiang Ruonan only needs to curtsy.
During the whole process, Jiang Huanting kept looking at her coldly.
Jiang Ruonan saluted and left, not wanting to 'deal' with her more. But after turning around, Jiang Huanting stopped her loudly: "Cousin." β
Jiang Ruonan turned his head and looked at her, "What's the matter with the noble man calling the courtier's 'wife'?" β
Jiang Huanting looked at her and said word by word: "Cousin, everything I got today is thanks to you, and I will remember your great kindness and virtue." β
By me? What is she referring to? Jiang Ruonan muttered in her heart, and just wanted to ask clearly, Jiang Huanting had already turned around and left.
Do you think I saved her, so I have a chance to enter the palace? Jiang Ruonan's brain made up, but she shook her head again, it was strange that she would think like that!
She shrugged, not taking the matter to heart, and walked towards her tent.
After a while, a palace maid brought dinner. Then Jin Shaokang came back and sent someone to send a message to ask her if she came back safely, Jiang Ruonan knew that he was worried about himself, so he asked the palace maid to say that he came out safely and was not injured.
Looking at the back of the palace maid leaving, Jiang Ruonan's heart was warm, and it felt good that someone cared.
After dinner, a bonfire rose in the open space outside the tent, and the accompanying officials gathered around the bonfire to drink and play fists, chat, and some military attachΓ©s took off their robes and laughed and competed in martial arts, the bonfire reflected everyone's faces, and the smiling faces made the scene lively at once, and the noise and laughter spread far away.
The 'women' relatives didn't want to get too close, but they didn't want to miss the excitement, so they all leaned on the side of the tent in twos and threes, looking at each other with a smile on their faces, chatting and looking for their relatives among these people.
Jiang Ruonan was also among them, and there were several ladies standing next to her, one of whom was Mrs. Wang pulling Jiang Ruonan and saying words of thanks.
"Mrs. Hou, thank you so much, since the last time you treated my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law's back pain has improved a lot for more than ten years, and now I use the massage method you taught me every few days to massage her, now she is much better to me, I didn't mention the matter of adding people to my house before, Mrs. Hou, you not only saved my mother-in-law, but also saved me! I really don't know how to thank Mrs. Hou. β
Jiang Ruonan said generously: "It's just a gesture, Mrs. Wang don't take it to heart, if there is anything in the future, just come to me." β
Her illness is not in vain, the palace's thank-you gift is a golden jade-encrusted gold bracelet, worth a lot of silver!
Hearing Jiang Ruonan say this, Mrs. Wang also felt 'excited' and said: "Mrs. Hou will be useful in the future, just speak out." β
Jiang Ruonan smiled and said a few polite words, she has heard a lot of words like this kind of 'exciting' in the past few days.
As she was talking, a palace maid suddenly walked over, invited Jiang Ruonan aside, and whispered in her ear, "Please go to the stream in the woods." β
Jiang Ruonan laughed when he heard this, thinking that this was Jin Shaokang looking for her again, so he turned around and told the other 'women' that he was going to leave for a while, and walked towards the grove where he had been in the evening.
Carrying the lantern through the woods cautiously, she felt a little strange, it stands to reason that it was so late, Jin Shaokang should not be relieved to come alone, but the creek was close in front of him, and he thought that there were so many people outside, in case of any danger, he just screamed and someone would come to save him, and he was not a 'girl' who was unrestrained by the power of a 'chicken'! Thinking of this, my heart settled down, and after a while I came to the stream.
Tonight, the moon is big and bright, reflecting in the water, as if there are two moons, slightly illuminating the surrounding environment. The silence and tranquility of the creek at night is a different kind of beauty than half a day.
Jiang Ruonan looked left and right, but did not see Jin Shaokang's figure. She whispered, "Shaokang, Shaokang." β
At this time, a deep voice came from behind him, "What, do you think An Yuanhou called you over?" β
Jiang Ruonan was shocked, and quickly turned around, and behind him was the tall figure of Emperor Jing Xuan. He was dressed in a brocade robe, and the gold threads on the brocade robe shimmered silver in the moonlight, noble and handsome.
Jiang Ruonan's hand shook, the lantern in his hand fell to the ground, flashed a few times and then went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, and the tall figure of Emperor Xuan on the opposite side showed an oppressive force because of this darkness.
Jiang Ruonan took a step back, "Your Majesty, why are you?" β
Slowly, his eyes adapted to the darkness, Emperor Jing Xuan's handsome face gradually became clear in the moonlight, his eyes stared at Jiang Ruonan for a moment, and slowly 'forged' a step closer to her.
"I asked you to come, and it is naturally me that you have seen."
Jiang Ruonan took another step back, regretting it in her heart, why didn't she think of the emperor? She should have thought of this possible 'sex' a long time ago! But who would have thought that the emperor would dare to call her out under the noses of so many people?
"Your Majesty, it's so late, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." After saying that, Jiang Ruonan wanted to go around from the other side and leave here.
Who knows, Emperor Jing Xuan rushed to her in front of her with an arrow step to block her way, Jiang Ruonan panicked, and hurriedly retreated, but he didn't expect that there was a stream behind him, seeing that he was about to fall into the water with one foot in the air, Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly stretched out his long arms, hugged her waist, pulled her back, and was close to his 'chest'.
A faint scent of ambergris instantly surrounded her.
"Be careful," Emperor Jing Xuan grinned slightly, his teeth shining white in the moonlight, "It's not good to be a 'chicken' in the soup." β
"Your Majesty, let me go!" Jiang Ruonan is in a hurry, is he crazy? What kind of place and what occasion is this, he even dares to go crazy!
"Ruolan, don't be afraid, as long as you don't make a sound, no one will come here. But if you speak up and bring people in, you know what the consequences will be. Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her and said softly.
Jiang Ruonan couldn't break free from his control despite all her might, she was exhausted, and under extreme fright, her nose couldn't help but sour, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" What the hell are you going to do, are you so entangled with the courtier's 'woman', are you very interesting? Are you happy to see your courtiers flustered and miserable? You obviously promised me that you won't be like this again, you don't joke, but what are you doing now? β
These words not only did not make Emperor Jing Xuan let go, but instead asked him to tighten his embrace, which made her have to get closer to him.
He lowered his head and looked at her, the distance between them was so close, as long as he lowered his head slightly, he could touch her lips, Jiang Ruonan skimmed his head, but he stretched out his hand and pulled her face brutally, so that she had to look into his eyes.
His eyes reflected her angry face.
