Chapter 117 Who are you to me? How dare you teach me how to do things?
Cheng Jin: "..."
[It's all right, all right.]
[You say I'm talking and you say I'm talking back at you. You also say I'm not talking when I'm not talking.]
[No matter what, you can't do it the way you want, right?]
[You can't bully me just because I'm a cannon fodder.]
[The life of a cannon fodder is also a life!]
Cheng Jin pulled up the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "I've said that I'm not feeling well today. When I'm better, I'll definitely talk to Qu Wanxin more."
Qu Wanxin nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."
?
Qu Wanxin said okay?
Aren't all heroines like this?
They find things to do when they have nothing to do, and they assign tasks to themselves to follow the plot, right?
Cheng Jin thought about herself. She would rather lie down than sit. Everything seemed to have a reason.
Cheng Jin didn't want to laugh anymore.
[God, please spare me and let me go. I can't argue with her, okay?]
Cheng Jin was just thinking in her heart, but Chu Chengye, who had not spoken just now, suddenly called her.
"Rong Guifei, come and sit next to me."
Cheng Jin looked towards Chu Chengye in confusion.
Chu Chengye raised his head slightly in the direction of Cheng Jin, with a faint gentle smile on his face.
At least this was the most sincere smile Cheng Jin had seen when she looked at Chu Chengye tonight.
But after Chu Chengye called her, not only Chu Chengye looked over, but everyone present looked in the direction of Cheng Jin.
It was previously rumored in the court that Chu Chengye did not like women and had never stayed in the harem, but suddenly a Rong Guifei appeared.
This Rong Guifei was not new to the palace, but no one knows what kind of magic this Rong Guifei has that can make the emperor, who doesn't care about her, summon only her for many days in a row. She is the most favored in the harem.
Not only that, Chu Chengye also set a precedent for letting Cheng Jin attend court.
Although it is said that this Rong Guifei was stupid before entering the palace, not only did she know nothing about state affairs, let alone interfering in politics, she might not understand even if you told her. Although
such a person is said to be no threat, such a thing is the first time in the world.
This has been a hot topic in the court for a long time, and they have been very curious about this Rong Guifei.
After meeting her today, they found that this Concubine Rong was indeed outstanding in appearance, with an extremely beautiful face, and every move she made was full of the charm of a beauty.
But other than that, they really couldn't see what was so special about this Concubine Rong. Could it be that the emperor only looked at her by her face?
There were so many scrutinizing eyes, some of which were just curious about this legendary Concubine Rong, and some of which were filled with hatred for Cheng Jin because she was favored and trusted by the emperor and Cheng Yishou.
If the eyes could kill, I'm afraid Cheng Jin would have died thousands of times.
With so many eyes mixed together, Cheng Jin couldn't resist.
Compared to being stared at by this group of people with hatred beside Chu Chengye, it was safer to be by Qu Wanxin's side, at least only Qu Wanxin was staring at her.
Cheng Jin stood up and bowed slightly to Chu Chengye.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not that I don't want to serve you. It's just that I caught a cold today and I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid that I might infect Your Majesty and disturb your health."
Chu Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin.
They just met yesterday, and Cheng Jin was fine. Why did she suddenly feel unwell today?
Chu Chengye subconsciously thought of the Wuxia incident a few days ago, and thought that Cheng Jin's body was not fully recovered yet, so he immediately waved his hand to let Wei An beside him to invite Pei Yu.
Every time Chu Chengye paused, Cheng Jin's frown deepened.
[Don't call Pei Yu, and don't call the imperial physician.]
[I'm just pretending. I'm not smart and can't think of any other excuses. Just let me go and don't expose me.]
[They are so scary. 】
Chu Chengye couldn't help laughing when he heard Cheng Jin's pitiful expression.
He lowered his head to hide his suppressed smile, and waved his hand casually, "In that case, you don't have to come over."
In the eyes of others, Chu Chengye was offended by Cheng Jin, and he was a little unhappy.
Xu Fenghui laughed secretly, what about being favored in the harem, she is just a woman, what ability can she have.
Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief, still wondering why Chu Chengye was so awesome today, usually he would definitely call the imperial physician to expose Cheng Jin and let her sit next to him.
But Cheng Jin didn't think much about it, as long as she escaped. Before
Cheng Jin sat down, she heard a mocking laugh from someone unknown.
Then Xu Fenghui stood up from his seat and stood in the distance facing Chu Chengye.
"I heard of the Imperial Concubine's name on the way back to Beijing. Today, I see that the Imperial Concubine is indeed extraordinary."
"Hearing what the Duke said, I am really terrified. I have always been in the harem and have not made any achievements. I wonder what the Duke heard?"
Xu Fenghui said to Cheng Jin: "The Imperial Concubine is too humble. When I heard about it before, I thought that the Imperial Concubine's coquettishness was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Cheng Jin just sat in the distance and looked at Xu Fenghui without saying a word. She knew that Xu Fenghui would not say anything good.
Xu Fenghui seemed unwilling to let Cheng Jin go.
"Your Highness knows that you are a woman in the harem, the Emperor's woman. Why does the Emperor want you to be by his side? You are pushing and pulling. I think the Emperor has shown too much favor to your Highness, and you have lost your mind."
"You are so brave!"
Chu Chengye's roar suddenly came from the hall, shocking everyone present.
They came out of their seats one after another, and all knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, calm down."
Everyone said in unison. Xu
Fenghui, who was kneeling in front, was particularly puzzled.
He was originally speaking for Chu Chengye from his perspective, so why did he suddenly get angry?
To put it nicely, the women in the harem are the emperor's wives and concubines, but to put it bluntly, they are just trying to please the emperor.
They can neither serve the country in the court nor fight on the battlefield.
They are just a few golden sparrows kept by the emperor in the harem. How could Concubine Rong have the courage to offend Chu Chengye and reject him?
Xu Fenghui also knew that Cheng Jin was favored, but Chu Chengye was just a temporary novelty. How could he really do something substantial for this woman?
Xu Fenghui spoke up for Chu Chengye today just to put him on a pedestal. Which emperor doesn't enjoy this feeling?
Even if he said that the grandson of the emperor is the same as the common people, it was just talk. Who could really take it seriously?
Xu Fenghui thought that Cheng Jin rejected Chu Chengye's request today. Although Chu Chengye did not show it on his face, he was just jealous of so many people present. How could Chu Chengye not be angry when he was rejected by a woman in public? He
just pretended to be generous to everyone.
So Xu Fenghui helped Chu Chengye say what he wanted to say. He did not understand why Chu Chengye was angry.
Xu Fenghui was testing Chu Chengye's intention.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry about the Imperial Concubine."
"The Emperor dotes on the Imperial Concubine, and everyone sees it, but even so, the Imperial Concubine cannot lose her sense of propriety."
"It is a blessing for the Imperial Concubine that the Emperor dotes on her, but you cannot commit a crime by being too doting on her."
Xu Fenghui continued, not noticing the blue veins on Chu Chengye's hands that appeared because of his forbearance.
His eyes were grim, and his deep voice was filled with anger.
"Who are you to me? How dare you tell me what to do?!"
