Chapter 369 You Really Hurt My Heart
The sun sets.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the sky, his eyes full of joy.
When Ruoruo came to deliver lunch, she said that we could get off work at Youshi.
Fortunately, there are some things to do, otherwise, this day would be very long.
"Manager Lin, let's go back to Xihe Palace."
"By the way, take all these imperial edicts with you."
Make the little phoenix happy tonight and let it go out to run errands tomorrow.
"I obey your order." Steward Lin quickly put away the imperial edict on the table and left the imperial study.
"Your servants respectfully send off the emperor." The young eunuchs outside knelt down and kowtowed.
"Go to Xihe Palace." Xiao Chengjin sat on the dragon chariot with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Chief Steward Lin shouted at the top of his voice: "Get going!"
The eunuchs who were carrying the dragon chariot noticed the good mood of the master and servant and relaxed as well.
They secretly thought: Although the new emperor always gave people a cold and indifferent aura, he would not vent his anger on them, his servants, because of some trivial things...
Xihe Palace.
At this moment, Xiao Fenghuang was showing off to Jiang Ruo how popular she was in the weaving pavilion.
"Sister, you don't know, when I showed up at the weaving pavilion, their eyes were almost glued to me."
"They also said that I was more majestic than the phoenixes on the previous phoenix robes."
"Sister, don't worry, your phoenix robe is definitely the most beautiful in the world."
Jiang Ruo looked at Little Phoenix with a smile on her face and echoed, "My Little Phoenix is so majestic and awe-inspiring. Everyone in the world admires you!"
You are such a social butterfly!
After being praised by Jiang Ruo, Little Phoenix lowered her head shyly.
At this moment, Xiao Chengjin's voice came from the palace gate: "Ruoruo, I'm back."
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows and looked towards the tall and slender figure at the door.
She slowly stood up, twisted her waist deliberately and walked forward, curling her lips and saying, "Your Highness, I respectfully welcome you."
Xiao Chengjin stared at Jiang Ruo with burning eyes, walked quickly forward and held her in his arms, "Ruoruo, you are naughty again." As he said that, he leaned over and kissed the corners of her lips a few times.
Seeing this, the servants around him quickly lowered their heads.
Oh, it’s too much to bear.
Your Majesty, shouldn't you be more reserved?
It has to be said that the Queen is the person the Emperor holds in his heart.
Jiang Ruo noticed Xiao Chengjin's good mood and the smile on her lips deepened.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Xiao Chengjin's ears turned slightly red as he whispered, "Ruoruo, I prefer you to call me by my name... the fierce kind."
Seeing this, Little Phoenix angrily squeezed in between the two of them and said, "Okay, stop being so annoying and go have dinner."
As soon as he comes back, he sticks to his sister. Isn't it annoying?
Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo looked at the little phoenix squeezed in the middle and smiled at each other.
A complete third party!
Xiao Chengjin raised his hand and rubbed Little Phoenix's head, saying in a gentle tone, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Ruoruo, let's go."
Dongxue saw this and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please move to the dining hall."
Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand and walked towards the dining hall.
The little phoenix standing there blinked and wondered in his heart: It's strange, why did this dog man suddenly become so gentle?
Is he digging a hole for himself?
Well, you have to be careful of him!
Xiao Chengjin walked to the door of the dining hall, looked back at Xiao Fenghuang, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The little phoenix is getting smarter and smarter.
Xiao Chengjin sat at the dining table and whispered, "Ruoruo, I have arranged a task for Little Phoenix."
"Tomorrow, have it deliver the imperial edicts to various places, and at the same time inform my grandfather's family that they can enter the capital."
Jiang Ruo looked at the little phoenix that flew in and nodded slightly.
During the meal, Xiao Chengjin made an exception and fed the little phoenix.
He picked up a plate of fruit and handed it to Little Phoenix. "This is your favorite fruit. Eat it quickly!"
Little Phoenix: “…”
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
The dog man must be plotting against himself.
The little phoenix rolled its eyes and leaned closer to Jiang Ruo, "Well, I have no appetite, you eat it yourself!"
Jiang Ruo chuckled and took the fruit plate. "Eat it. It's not poisonous."
The little phoenix sighed with despair, sniffed the fruit plate, and finally, ate all the fruits without tasting them.
Jiang Ruo looked at the alert little phoenix and smiled with her eyes curved.
Just for this vigilance, you can fly everywhere.
......
After dinner, Xiao Chengjin said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, I have something to ask of you."
Little Phoenix: Look, the true face is revealed!
It raised its little head and said proudly: "Tell me, I will help you within my ability."
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips, "You are the only one in the world who can do this."
"Hmph! Stop flattering me." The little phoenix snorted, a hint of pride on his face.
Haha, you’re smart!
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin looked at each other: Xiao Feng started to feel proud.
"I need to deliver imperial edicts to various places regarding my succession to the throne, so please take the trouble to fly."
"Oh, and my grandparents' family, General Chu and his son on the border..."
......
Little Phoenix listened with her ears pricked up, and finally understood what Xiao Chengjin meant.
Just to coax myself into running errands for him!
Tsk, it’s all a routine.
"With all the flying around, it might take me a few days to get back."
"If that happens, I'll miss my sister..." Little Phoenix said this with a look of reluctance on her face.
The implication is that I don't want to fly.
Xiao Chengjin coughed lightly and said, "Since you don't want to go, I'll send someone else."
"I originally wanted to use the character 'Feng' as the reign title..."
"Ruoruo, let's go out for a walk." Xiao Chengjin said, standing up and taking Jiang Ruo's hand, he left the dining hall.
Upon hearing this, Little Phoenix stood in front of the dining table with a conflicted look on her face.
Judging from what the man said, he really values himself.
Since he used the character "Feng" as his reign title, I'll take the trouble to fly over...
Just as Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin walked out of Xihe Palace, the little phoenix flapped its wings and caught up with them.
"Leave the task of delivering the imperial edict to me. Besides, I promised my uncle that I would personally deliver the message to them."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the little phoenix chasing after him, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He pretended to be embarrassed and said: "If this happens, you may not see Ruoruo for several days..."
"I'll just be away for a few days, it's okay." Little Phoenix said quickly.
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng."
With nothing to do, Jiang Ruo and his friend wandered around Xihe Palace.
As he walked, Xiao Chengjin suddenly remembered the incident when Manager Lin met Jiang Qinian at the gate of the imperial palace.
He coughed lightly and secretly took credit, "Ruoruo, I plan to give the mansion across from the Jiang Mansion to my uncle, and then give him a plaque of 'First Imperial Merchant'..."
Jiang Ruo's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"That's a good idea."
At this moment, Jiang Ruo had already imagined the scene of Jiang Qinian being furious and envious.
Jiang Ruo stood on tiptoe and gave Xiao Chengjin a reward kiss.
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips slightly and continued, "By the way, my aunt and father-in-law are getting married on the eighth day of next month. Let's take some time to go over and see them in the next two days."
"Okay, I'll make sure the old man can marry into the princess's mansion with great fanfare." Jiang Ruo couldn't stop smiling.
Xiao Chengjin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we can also let my aunt marry into the father-in-law's mansion."
"How about this, let's choose the Father-in-law's Mansion next to my uncle's residence..."
If my aunt is bored, she will go and chat with my grandmother or aunt.
Jiang Ruo: "......"
Haha, you really hurt my feelings.
"That's it!"
.......
It's warm and joyful here, but it's desolate and cold in the cold palace.
In particular, the queen, who was beaten up by the concubines, had scratches all over her face and lay on the bed wailing and cursing.
"These bitches actually dared to hit me."
"All of you, go die."
"Bitch, don't fall into my hands."
.......
Several palace maids listened to the queen's scolding and quietly left the room.
How glorious it was in the past, how miserable it is now.
Both Defei and Shufei were lucky and had been escorted to their sons' fiefdoms by the Imperial Guards.
The other concubines were also lucky and left the palace with their maids.
And yet they are still working tirelessly in the cold palace...
Alas, what a miserable life!
Because the Queen's voice was too loud, the Queen Mother directly ordered Nanny Xia to move to another room.
The Queen Mother looked at the dim room, sighed, and then walked to the bed with a cane.
She sat on the edge of the bed, looking dazed as she asked, "Madam Xia, do you think we can still leave the cold palace?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Xia came up to her with her head lowered and her eyes compliant. "Empress Dowager, you must remain calm."
"For now, there is still hope."
"You must place all your hopes on the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a light flashed in her eyes.
"Madam Xia, you are right."
"My son and grandson are outstanding people. They will definitely take back the throne."
Another cold palace.
Xiao Junze sat at the table, looking at the porridge and side dishes in the bowl, and was reluctant to pick up his chopsticks.
Ji Tao was afraid that Xiao Junze would get angry and overturn the table again, so he kept an eye on his actions.
Seeing that Xiao Junze refused to eat, Ji Tao whispered, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten much in two days. If you continue like this, your health will collapse."
"As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. So, you must cheer up..."
Before Ji Tao could finish his words, he saw Xiao Junze pick up the bowl and chopsticks and start eating with big mouthfuls.
Xiao Junze thought while eating: Ji Tao is right, I should cheer up.
First take care of your health, then slowly plan...
Sooner or later, he will seize the throne.
