Chapter 234 Complaint Water
But she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please don't joke like this. I am terrified."
"Dare to refuse me, I will not be afraid of you at all."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am frightened to death."
Xiao Jingcai picked up the teacup beside him, lowered his head and took a sip: "Since you like to kneel, then kneel."
There was no sense of joy or anger in this sentence, but it was definitely not happy either.
Li Ruanruan lowered her head even lower, she was really frightened.
For a moment, she was really afraid that Xiao Jing was not joking, but was serious about appointing her into the palace.
According to the emperor's suspicious principles, he would have to kill her two children first.
Li Runrun felt even more frightened, but she also thought that Xiao Jing would not do that.
Firstly, Xiao Jing is not such a person. Secondly, even if we take a step back, Ye Yunchu is not a decoration.
Xiao Jing put down the teacup and said, "Your good fortune is coming soon."
"The women are terrified."
"Don't panic. Ye Qing has already written the divorce letter and will marry you soon. When the time comes, I will come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
Li Runrun looked at Xiao Jing in disbelief, then quickly lowered her head.
Ye Yunchu has divorced his wife? But when he left her this morning, he hadn't mentioned it.
"So you didn't know?"
Li Ruanruan shook her head: "I don't know."
"I guess he won't tell you how he did it."
There was something behind Xiao Jing's words.
Li Ruanruan was silent for a moment before she said, "No matter what he does, I only care about the results."
"You really hate Xu Wan."
Xiao Jing asked this, but Li Runrun didn't know how to answer.
However, she hated Xu Wan because of the Honghua incident and Xu Wan had been so vicious.
He repeatedly tried to take her life. If she had not left that year, she would still be in the Marquis' Mansion.
Xu Wan might kill her family, including her unborn child and herself.
She and Xu Wan are indeed irreconcilable.
It would be a lie to say that you don't hate me.
Those shocks, fears, pains and tears, it would be too hypocritical to say that you don't hate them.
After a long while, Li Ruanruan nodded: "I still hate it."
"She hates you now, probably ten times more than you do."
"That's her business."
"I like your personality sometimes."
Li Runrun has been in a good mood recently.
I suddenly thought of a sentence.
Since you like this personality, you can no longer like her.
Then Li Ruanruan pursed her lips and fell silent.
Xiao Jing took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and continued, "I heard that you assisted Hu Fenghua in governing the county at the border, and it's beginning to show results."
"I just came up with some ideas."
"Ruanruan is a talented person, but it's a pity..."
What a pity?
It’s a pity that she is not a man, and it’s a pity that she is not useful to him.
If it is the former, Liruanruan can't do it either, if it is the latter.
Li Ruanruan looked at Xiao Jing: "I will always be loyal to His Majesty and will never have second thoughts."
Xiao Jing didn't say anything, but just indicated that there was not much tea left in the cup.
Li Ruanruan reached out to take it, and Xiao Jing handed it over.
Li Ruanruan paused, and tried to take it carefully without touching his, but he still touched her fingertips.
Li Ruanruan: “….”
Please don't do this, it's not appropriate at all.
But she still said nothing and went to pour tea again.
When he came back, Xiao Jing had already set up the chessboard and said to Li Ruanruan, "Play a game with me."
Li Ruanruan thought for a moment and sat across from him: "Gobang?"
"No, just play chess."
"I don't know how to do that."
"No? Then call your An'er over. He must be smart and can even recite the Three Character Classic backwards."
"I know a little bit."
Children don’t understand anything, and boys are not as easy to please as girls. An An is quiet by nature.
Li Runrun was still afraid that if she offended Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing would find a reason to bring An An into the palace.
Then she would not be able to sleep, and the palace was Xiao Jing's territory. If she entered the palace, it would be like a rabbit entering a wolf's den.
It would be better to cut it off at the root.
Li Ruanruan went to get the chess pieces and played chess behind Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing played chess and chatted at the same time. He talked to Li Runrun about everything.
What about that minister who is too straightforward and speaks irritatingly? Which old minister relies on the late emperor's entrustment and bullies others by taking advantage of his seniority...
Li Runrun was terrified listening to the ups and downs in the court, afraid that he would kill her to silence her after he finished speaking.
The first game was a complete loss.
Xiao Jing didn't care much about it, and even gave Li Runrun some advice on how to play better.
When Xiao Jing finished talking about the previous dynasty, Li Runrun had already lost three games.
He actually talked so much that the servants served him three cups of tea.
Li Runrun glanced at Xiao Jing and wondered why he hadn't returned to the palace yet. It was time for him to go to the toilet.
I drank so much tea.
Li Runrun had cold sweat on her forehead, but she didn't notice it.
It was only when Xiao Jing took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat that she realized it. She then hurriedly stepped back, feeling that this was inappropriate.
He hurriedly said, "I can do it myself."
Xiao Jing gave her the handkerchief.
Li Runrun wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued playing chess.
Xiao Jing talked about the harem again, from the previous dynasty: "Ye Shuang is really stupid. I feel annoyed when I see her."
"The Queen is too kindhearted, just like you, yet far worse. She can't stand the sight of blood, and her methods are too merciful. If it weren't for the capable palace maids around her, she would have died countless times."
After hearing what Xiao Jing said, Li Runrun felt that such a kind-hearted person was indeed not suitable to be the Empress.
Li Runrun looked at Xiao Jing, seemingly confused as to why someone with such a personality should be promoted to queen?
Does Xiao Jing like the queen very much?
Emperors can love many women, and this has always been the case.
Who is the queen?
Li Runrun didn't know yet, Ye Qiaoqiao didn't tell her, and she didn't ask Ye Yunchu either.
Xiao Jing seemed to know what Li Ruanruan was thinking, so he spoke: "But I need a queen who is not complicated. Her greatest role is to give birth to a prince for me, but that will come later."
Li Ruanruan: “….”
Is this something she can listen to? Help.
After Xiao Jing finished saying these serious things, he also said some non-serious things, such as which palace concubine did a good job and asked her to learn from her.
Li Ruanruan closed her eyes and took another deep breath.
She really wasn't that familiar with him!
Xiao Jing smiled after he finished speaking, but then he became serious: "Play the last game with me."
Li Runrun's hand trembled as she picked up the chess pieces.
Xiao Jing did not allow Li Ruanruan to refuse and said, "If you defeat me, I will never again have any ideas about you."
Liruanruan's heart skipped a beat. If she lost...
"If you lose, you will enter the palace as a concubine and I will give you another identity."
Li Runrun felt that she had no chance of winning against Xiao Jing, so she was about to kneel down and refuse.
But Xiao Jing didn't give her a chance at all: "If I refuse, I will be a tyrant."
Does this mean to kill her entire family?
Li Ruanruan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jing in disbelief: "Your Majesty..."
"Even if it's a draw, you win."
Xiao Jing had already made his move.
Li Runrun's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Having said that, there is no turning back. If we try our best, we may be able to get a draw.
