However, by saying this, he indirectly refuted what Xie Jingyi had said earlier.
Everyone was familiar with Xie Jingxuan, the second master of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. They knew that he had no other hobbies, and his favorite thing was to visit brothels, drink wine and women, and was a good-for-nothing.
Therefore, people tend to believe what he says, after all, he is a regular at Chunyanlou, and probably no one there knows Chunyanlou better than him.
Therefore, it seems that Rong Qingqing did not hear the story from Chunyanlou as Xie Jingyi claimed.
"Second Brother!" Xie Jingyi was furious.
Xie Jingxuan frowned. "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Xie Jingyi retorted angrily, "I'm your sister."
"Of course I know that, but so what?" Xie Jingxuan said dismissively.
Xie Jingyi's lips twitched, as if she wanted to accuse him of siding with outsiders, but considering their usual relationship, she kept quiet.
Rong Yiyi also felt resentful towards Xie Jingxuan.
If he hadn't been so talkative, everyone would have doubted Rong Qingqing's character, thinking that the story she told was something she heard from Chunyanlou. But his interruption was tantamount to clearing Rong Qingqing's name.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Xie Jingxuan didn't care what grudges these two women had with Rong Qingqing. All he knew was that he was deeply attracted by the martial arts world that Rong Qingqing had described.
"Madam, please continue your story," he urged.
Feng Xin, already impatient, got out of the carriage and urged, "Just tell us already, why are you wasting your breath talking to those people?"
Rong Qingqing was extremely helpless, so she simply sat down on the carriage shaft and continued the story she hadn't finished telling earlier.
A hint of disdain flashed in Rong Yiyi's eyes.
Does Rong Qingqing really think she's a storyteller? How degrading!
"Yiyi, let's go." Xie Jingyi took her hand, equally disdainful of staying to listen.
Rong Yiyi immediately looked troubled, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Qingqing is telling us a story right now..."
“We didn’t ask her to tell us. Let’s go, don’t let her voice pollute your ears.” Xie Jingyi took her hand and walked to the side.
Rong Yiyi said awkwardly, "Jingyi, don't pull me..."
He looked as if Xie Jingyi had forcibly dragged him away.
Rong Qingqing glanced at the two departing figures and found it quite amusing. Rong Yiyi really thought too highly of herself; nobody paid any attention to her, okay?
Ahead, Emperor Zhaojing alighted from his imperial carriage and saw Xie Jingrun approaching from behind. He asked, "What happened in the back?"
"It's nothing," Xie Jingrun said calmly.
Emperor Zhaojing glanced back and was quite surprised to see people sitting on the ground in a circle. "What are they doing?" he asked curiously.
Xie Jingrun glanced at Rong Qingqing sitting on the carriage shaft and frowned slightly. "She's listening to a story."
"Who told you that?" Emperor Zhaojing asked, quite surprised.
"Rong Qingqing." Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes and slowly uttered three words.
Emperor Zhaojing paused, feeling that there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice when he said the name Rong Qingqing.
He looked at him scrutinizingly and asked in surprise, "Rong Qingqing can tell stories?"
"Hmm." Xie Jingrun nodded. He was actually a little surprised. He had just gone over and listened to a story he had never heard before. He didn't know where that brat had heard it, but she managed to attract all those unsophisticated people.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing put his hands behind his back and walked towards the back.
Xie Jingrun: "..."
As Rong Qingqing recounted the exciting scene at Shaoshi Mountain, where Qiao Feng fought against a group of heroes, and Duan Yu and Xu Zhu joined the battle, everyone was so engrossed in listening that they didn't even notice Emperor Zhaojing standing behind them, completely absorbed in the story.
"Clap clap clap!"
A burst of applause startled everyone. Turning around, they saw Emperor Zhaojing standing behind them, their expressions changed, and they quickly bowed to him, saying, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
