Chapter 028 Zong Zhengxiao, the bad guy
Rong Yin had just been showing off his new hairstyle to Zong Zheng Xiao, so he suddenly became so excited. The palace people all thought that he had misunderstood Zong Zheng Xiao's words and that Zong Zheng Xiao was praising him.
They didn't doubt at all that Rong Yin really understood what Zong Zheng Xiao meant. After all, Rong Yin had pretended so well before.
The mermaid's skin was slightly cool and soft, and felt very good to the touch. Zong Zhengxiao felt comfortable being rubbed by Rong Yin, but he was thinking in his heart: You just called me a bad emperor and said I was a bad person, but now you think I'm a good person? What a fickle little guy.
Although he thought so, Zong Zhengxiao actually had no intention of blaming Rong Yin. Instead, he thought that his character was very cute.
After Lu'e was promoted to the head aunt, all the palace servants in the Silver Shark Garden were basically under her command, and she was considered the boss of the palace servants.
Although her status was not as high as Si Xi's, Si Xi still treated her politely and gave her a promotion gift.
Si Xi has been in the palace for so long that he knows how to get along with people. He would rather have more friends than create an enemy for himself. Besides, Lu E looks like a promising person.
After gaining a firm foothold in Ginyamon Garden, Lu'e found an excuse to transfer her best friend over. Her best friend turned out to be the palace maid who had gone with her to clean the bathing pool. During the first two years when she had the most difficult time in the palace, she was the only one who treated her the best.
As for the group of people who had bullied Lu'e, she didn't even need to say a word. Some people who wanted to please her had already taken action on her behalf. I heard that they had been having a hard time recently.
There is never a shortage of people in this palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
Ever since Lu'e gave Rongyin a new hairstyle that night, Rongyin, who found it interesting, would ask her to tie her hair every now and then. Lu'e was smart and clever, and in just a few days she had figured out several hairstyles suitable for Rongyin, and each time they were different.
Zong Zhengxiao was happy to see different voices from Rong often, and he gave Lu'e many gifts.
One time it was a jade bracelet with extremely good water color. Even Rong Yin, who didn't know much about jade, could tell that it was worth a lot.
As Lu'e received more and more rewards, Rong Yin felt more and more depressed.
It's not that he was jealous of Lu'e, but he felt it was unfair that he rewarded others with gold, silver and jewelry just because others made Zong Zhengxiao happy.
I spend every day with Zong Zheng Xiao and he is in a good mood every day, but the reward I get is just a garden and an occasional dinner!
Not to mention that since Zong Zhengxiao has decided to support him, he should provide him with food and lodging, and that the garden and extra meals are what he deserves. Even though the garden is nominally his, it is still Zong Zhengxiao's property in the end.
Zong Zhengxiao has also been living here.
It was different with gold, silver and jewels. Once given to him, they became his private property and had nothing to do with Zong Zhengxiao.
Although he can only stay here for one year, and money is something you can't take with you when you are born, it's still a blessing to have it for a while.
Who would complain about having too much money?
With this thought in mind, Rong Yin looked at Zong Zheng Xiao again and felt that there was something wrong with him.
Zong Zheng Xiao fed him fish fillets, and he swallowed them with a cold face, staring at Zong Zheng Xiao and cursing him in his heart: bad guy.
He went to the lotus pond to pick lotus buds and flowers and distributed them to every palace maid except Zong Zhengxiao. When Zong Zhengxiao asked him about it, he ignored him and continued to curse: "Bad guy."
Lu'e combed his hair into a new style and he sang happily. When he saw Zong Zhengxiao coming, he immediately shut up, but continued to curse: "Bad guy."
For several days in a row, Zong Zheng Xiao had not received a good response from Rong Yin. He was completely confused and had no idea what he had done wrong.
Fortunately, he could hear Rong Yin's inner voice, but since Rong Yin didn't tell him why she was angry, he didn't understand.
Until this day, Rong Yin went to the clean water pool to play in the water. In order to find out why Rong Yin deliberately ignored him, Zong Zhengxiao took off his clothes and followed her into the water.
Rong Yin was originally playing leisurely by himself, but when he heard some noise, he turned around and found that it was Zong Zheng Xiao coming over, so he immediately swam to the other side.
But no matter where he swam, Zong Zheng Xiao would follow him. Rong Yin got angry and used her tail to splash water over him, directly drenching Zong Zheng Xiao's head and face.
This was different from the previous time when they splashed water on each other jokingly. Zong Zheng Xiao's hair was soaked, and the wet hair hung on his face, making him look particularly wolfish.
You can't touch a tiger's butt. The emperor is even more terrifying than a tiger. If you make him lose face, he will be unhappy and may kill people.
Even though they knew that Zong Zheng Xiao doted on Rong Yin, seeing this scene, Si Xi and Lu E standing on the shore couldn't help but worry about him.
Rong Yin was emotional and acted subconsciously. He did not expect that it would cause such serious consequences. He did not mean it.
Rong Yin was frightened now and tried to hide in the water quietly.
Zong Zhengxiao wiped his face and pushed his wet hair behind his head, revealing his broad, full forehead and his eyes filled with anger.
"Come here." He tilted his head slightly, his tone grim.
Rong Yin, who was halfway into the dive, suddenly froze. He didn't dare to look at Zong Zheng Xiao at all. He felt his heart beating in his throat.
He dared not disobey Zong Zheng Xiao's orders, especially since Zong Zheng Xiao was still angry at the moment.
Rong Yin swam slowly towards Zong Zheng Xiao, and when she was still an arm's length away from him, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her over.
Zong Zhengxiao's arms were as strong as steel, tightly holding Rong Yin's waist and locking him in his arms. He lifted his chin, stared into his guilty eyes, and asked coldly, "Why are you so angry with me?"
Rong Yin didn't dare to look him in the face, her eyes glanced elsewhere, she thought to herself: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you.
His timely apology extinguished half of Zong Zhengxiao's anger, but the other half was still burning because of Rong Yin's inexplicable cold treatment towards him in the past few days.
Zong Zheng Xiao sighed and tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible, "Why are you unhappy these days?"
Hearing this, Rong Yin looked at Zong Zheng Xiao, without saying anything, but her eyes were filled with grievance: Why? Because you are not nice to me at all!
Zong Zhengxiao was almost laughing out of anger. If he hadn't been rational, he would have wanted to ask Rong Yin directly how he had treated him badly?
Although considering that the two of them haven't talked it out yet, it's not convenient for him to give Rongyin many thank-you gifts now, but under this premise, the two of them eat and live together, Rongyin will have a share of what he can enjoy.
Even the queen did not have such an honor.
Zong Zhengxiao thought he was doing his best to raise the little merman, so how could he be said to be treating him badly?
He pinched Rong Yin's face and said with a smile, "I haven't done anything wrong to you recently, but you have been so cold to me these past few days. I haven't done anything wrong, but you are the first to feel wronged. Tell me, is this reasonable?"
When Rong Yin heard what he said, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said sadly: You said this as if I had wronged you. You gave gifts to Si Xi and Lu E as soon as you were happy, and I often made you laugh. But don’t even mention gold, silver, and jewelry. You even have to limit the amount of fish I can eat. How dare you say that you haven’t let me down? !
