Chapter 109 Husband, please rub me
Jiang Rong was planning to tell her the strange story of Princess Duan's death to warn her...
Unexpectedly...
Xie Ruojiao had already started cursing.
Jiang Rong was a little confused, "Why do you say that?"
"He actually said that Song Heng's writing is not good. What's wrong with it? It's flawless, without any defects at all. But he looked down on it just because he was a scholar. When Song Heng passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi, I wonder if he still dares to say that Song Heng's writing is weak!" Xie Ruojiao was filled with righteous indignation and muttered to herself.
Jiang Rong felt relieved a little, as Xie Ruojiao had a very bad impression of Prince Duan.
but……
Song Heng was in her words. Thinking back to the past, she often spent time with Song Heng...
Jiang Rong unconsciously had a bold suspicion:
"Second sister, are you... in love with Song Heng?"
Xie Ruojiao's cheeks flushed, "No way!"
He then tried to cover up the truth by saying, "I don't know him well."
"Oh, I'm planning to prepare a wedding gift for Song Heng. Will you accompany me to pick one out later?" Jiang Rong asked with a smile.
Xie Ruojiao immediately became anxious, grabbed Jiang Rong's hand, and asked nervously:
"Why is he getting married? Who is he getting married to? I haven't heard that he has an engagement! When is it going to happen? Which girl? Why would Song Heng marry her? He hasn't seen another woman besides me recently!"
A series of questions came down.
Jiang Nur smiled, "It hasn't been decided yet. I'm just preparing in advance."
"You scared me to death..." Xie Ruojiao's tense heart finally let out a sigh of relief, and she glared at him complainingly.
"Don't you like it?" Jiang Rong looked at her with a smile and asked back.
Xie Ruojiao lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, "Sister-in-law, please keep it a secret for me!"
Jiang Rong thought:
Song Heng is a man of noble character and he values friendship and loyalty. It is at least a safe thing that Xie Ruojiao likes him.
Song Heng would not use her, nor would he harm her.
As for whether they will like her, that is their own business.
Xie Ruojiao likes Song Heng and will not marry anyone else just for Prince Duan, so Jiang Rong feels relieved.
but……
She was just relieved about Xie Ruojiao.
Jiang Rong didn't think that a man who would do anything to get the throne would give up this plan just because Xie Ruojiao didn't like him.
At this moment...
The eunuch sang: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Also accompanying them were Xie Lingxi and his group.
Everyone saluted.
"Everyone, please stand up." The emperor sat on the main seat.
Xie Lingxi came to Jiang Rong's side, the two of them sat at the same table, and the person sitting next to him was Xie Ruojiao.
Then there was a grand ceremony of offering gifts to the feudal lords...
King Yuesha presented tribute to the emperor and paid homage to him...
After the ceremony.
The palace banquet officially begins.
At the night banquet at Dongshan, the wine flowed like a river, and the silver candles shone brightly on the silken clothes.
Amidst the singing and dancing, glasses were clinking and laughter was heard.
It's a lively and peaceful scene.
There are music, singing and dancing, but no one outside can hear them.
Jiang Rong quietly leaned close to Xie Lingxi's ear and actively complained, "Just now, Prince Duan came to show his courtesy to my second sister."
Xie Lingxi's gaze fell on Prince Duan opposite him, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Although everyone praises him as a wise king, I don't think he is a good person. He relied on Taifu Ren to achieve his current success. But as soon as Taifu Ren left, the Princess Ren he married died of illness... I think he is deliberately making room for him!" Jiang Rong said quietly.
There is no evidence to support her words. If she tells others about them, they will not only not believe her but will also think she is talking nonsense and making up rumors.
But who was the person next to her? That was Xie Lingxi, who would do anything for her!
Even if there is no evidence, Xie Lingxi will always believe what he said.
Since he knew that Prince Duan was targeting the Xie family, he wanted to trap Xie Ruojiao and kidnap the entire Beiwang Mansion to seize the throne for him...
How could she just sit there and wait to die and be beaten passively?
Of course she had to expose Prince Duan's conspiracy in front of her husband so that Xie Lingxi and Prince Bei's Mansion could be on guard!
"Now Prince Duan is lacking a military supporter. I think he might be so bold that he has set his sights on our Xie family. My second sister is very naive and simple, and I'm afraid she is hard to guard against." Jiang Rong leaned closer to the person next to him and breathed on Xie Lingxi's ear.
Her breath smells like orchid.
Very ambiguous.
But every word she said was cold and ruthless, "Why don't we strike first?"
Xie Lingxi tilted his head slightly to look at her, his narrow eyes were deep and silent, "Kill him?"
"Ah... that's not so fantastic. I want to replace him with a Princess Duan to save the Xie family first. When he is fighting the Crown Prince to the death, we will add insult to injury and help him go." Jiang Rong analyzed carefully.
Getting rid of a prince and getting away with it safely is certainly not an easy task and requires careful planning.
Every move of the Northern Prince's Palace was monitored by people sent by the emperor.
The road needs to be walked step by step. People also need to be killed step by step.
Xie Lingxi lowered her eyes. Jiang Rong had thought it through, but she had no basis for her guess, just based on a few words the Prince of Duan had said to them...
It seems like a bit of a child's play.
But it is easy to verify whether Prince Duan wants to trick Xie Ruojiao.
Xie Lingxi was pondering her words, and suddenly, the girl fell into his arms.
Because I leaned over to talk to Xie Lingxi...
Jiang Rong leaned towards him with most of his body tilted... After leaning for too long, he lost his balance and fell down.
Suddenly, her forehead hit his chest.
Xie Lingxi is fine.
But Jiang Rong hissed in pain...
“Be careful—” Xie Lingxi caught her with both hands, lowered his eyes and looked at her forehead.
The delicate jade skin was flushed with a bright red color.
The young woman pouted with grievance, "Husband, it hurts. Rub it."
Xie Lingxi originally thought that it wouldn't be that serious, but his eyes fell on that bright red spot, his hands were faster than his brain, he had already covered it and rubbed her forehead.
Jiang Rong immediately smiled, "Thank you, husband. It won't hurt if you rub it!"
The guests around them naturally had no idea what Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi were talking about.
All you can see is the two of them pulling each other and showing affection.
Everyone has already gotten used to it. Who doesn't know that Xie Lingxi is in love with Jiang Rong?
Only Ye Yan, who was sitting in the opposite row, was stunned as he saw this scene for the first time.
Is this the young man in his family who is not interested in women?
It turns out that his hands can not only kill people, but also rub heads?
Isn’t this too outrageous?
…
"County Lady, Ningxin Pills--" the maid hurriedly brought up the medicine bottle.
Dong Xiqi's face turned pale as he took a pill and then he turned his gaze away from the loving couple.
In public, you and I are very affectionate.
She was so angry that she had a heart attack...
He turned around and looked at Dong Xiqin beside him, and became even more angry.
Dong Xiqin was released from Mingxin Division just a few days ago.
Mingxinsi has found out that she has nothing to do with the fugitive.
At the palace banquet today, when Dong Xiqin saw Prince Duan, she couldn't take her eyes off him and kept showing her courtesy to him.
She did not give up on Prince Duan, and would take whatever she could get.
Dong Xiqi cursed him inwardly as an idiot, and took a tranquilizing pill before he felt a little better.
