Rong Ting paused for a while, then raised his eyes slightly.

From his angle, he could see the way she smiled and her eyelashes full of sunshine, the breeze blowing, the pear eddies on both sides of her sunk, and the smile looked very soft and sweet, innocent and childish.

This smile showed that what she had just said was particularly true, without the slightest bit of falsehood.

Rong Ting pressed his heart into irritability, and just laughed, even if the smile was very light, but with his beautiful face, it was still a bit coquettish and charming, like a silent temptation. He lowered his voice, "If you're happy, that's fine."

He really is greedy.

He wanted to make her look completely on him, but also wanted to see the smile on her face.

That being the case, there is nothing wrong with asking Hutang to accompany her.

But not for too long.

"But I heard that Mrs. Hu is having a headache about her marriage, isn't she?"

This time, Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment.

She thought about what Rong Ting had just said, and suddenly felt that she was not thinking well.

Hu Tang came to her every day, as if he had nothing to do.

But her elder sister, Hu Li, decided to get married last month and promised it to the second son of Zhang Yushi's family.

Hu Tang is more self-willed than Hu Li, and refuses to listen to Mrs. Hu's arrangement, and the marriage is delayed.

She had heard Hu Tang mention it in private, and she thought about what kind of person her husband would be in the future. He would be as tall and burly as her father stationed in Saibei, with backbone and responsibility, so that she would not be detained in the back house and let her lose. free.

But when Hutang said so, she didn't see that she was interested in any of Jinling's sons. It was clear that she was obsessed with swordsmanship books every day, and she wanted to go to Mobei, where her father stayed.

Jiang Rao has always been too lazy to spy on other people's private affairs, but he is more or less concerned about those who care about him.

She "na" a moment, the smile dimmed.

"Even if I'm in a rest room, there will always be more or less work after the office. If you want someone to accompany you to the Liyuan to listen to the opera, you should tell me early."

Jiang Rao suddenly looked up at Rong Ting.

Guangli Garden? How did he know that she went to Guangli Garden?

Rong Ting looked at her eyes that could reveal his thoughts, "A colleague has seen you in Guangli Garden."

Jiang Rao had no doubts, but she bit her lower lip, "I went to Guangli Garden to get close to two people?"

Rong Ting's expression changed slightly, "Who?"

"Princess Xiang and her daughter Xie Xi."

Not interested in other men.

Rong Ting's irritability subsided, and he asked slowly, "What do you want to know?"

Jiang Rao never likes to think about that in front of familiar people.

Some twists and turns, simply candid and direct, "I want to take a peek at them, to find out what they are doing, and to do things for them..."

"They can't just be allowed to bully us." She blinked, "We're not allowed to bully him."

US.

Not "you".

This slight change made Rong Ting's fingers tremble slightly.

But after he watched Jiang Rao mum and finish talking, her eyes were drawn to the little novice who was sweeping the floor outside, and he smiled bitterly.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

He spoke quietly behind her, and brought the little girl's eyes back to him, "Princess Xiang has fallen out of favor for many years, so she often goes to Liyuan to listen to operas to relieve her boredom."

Jiang Rao turned around.

Then, what Chen Congyun said to her may be true.

But even if she knew this, it was still difficult to find out from Princess Xiang and Xie Xi. Jiang Rao gradually realized what Yun Guifei said to her that the Xu family was difficult to deal with. Caution seemed to be written in the Xu family. something in the bones.

She has been to Guangliyuan a few times, and has negotiated with the owner of Liyuan to give her a seat that is not easy to be discovered by others, and secretly watched Princess Xiang and Xie Xi who came to listen to the song.

They never talk to people, and even when the drama on the stage reaches a wonderful scene, the expressions on their faces are changed.

As if afraid of being seen through their minds.

...

In a blink of an eye, summer entered.

It is easy to be sleepy in summer. Jiang Rao cools off in the pavilion. This is the season when she is most likely to doze off. Listening to the sound of cicadas, she hides in the shade under the pavilion. Soon her eyelids seem to be fighting.

I was woken up by a "humming" sound close to my ear.

Jiang Rao was lying on the stone table and moved uncomfortably. The annoying voice never went away. She opened her eyes in a strange way, and she was even startled when she saw the clay dots moving on the table.

Looking closely, it was a cyan dragonfly with its wings stuck in mud. It was struggling with its heavy wings on the stone table, spinning around on the table.

Jiang Rao looked at the little boy who was squatting at the table, his eyes were flush with the edge of the table, and he surrounded the table with his hands to block the dragonfly from falling, and suddenly felt helpless.

Jiang Jinxing is resting in the academy today, and it is rare to have the time to play with things and be unwilling.

"Sister slept too much." He said, "Mother just now came to you and said she wanted you to check the dowry with her. You fell asleep and she didn't wake you up."

Jiang Raohuan's somewhat dazed eyes instantly sobered up.

She also didn't know how the days passed.

Mingming felt that the divorce period was far away yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, there are only less than two months left.

Da Zhao has always had a tradition that unmarried couples are not allowed to meet each other only three months before the wedding. She has not seen Rong Ting for more than a month.

"Two days later, there will be a palace banquet, sister, don't forget. Sister Tang has written an invitation to enter the palace with you." Jiang Jinxing said while teasing the dragonfly.

Jiang Rao wanted to get up and felt a little heavy on her body. She took a look with her eyes. She had a thin blanket on her shoulders. Jiang Rao reached out and put her hands together.

Jiang Jinxing pressed the dragonfly with his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Rao, and pouted in dissatisfaction, "It's me."

Jiang Rao was surprised.

It was the first time she had this honor to be taken care of by the little guy.

She smiled and asked, "Who taught you to do this?"

Having said that, she was waiting for the little guy to say that no one taught him. Then praise him a few words, so that he can do this kind of thing more in the future.

"Someone taught me."

Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, but instead smiled like before.

Even though her brother was a blanket that was put on her after listening to someone else's words, she was still happy in her heart, "Who is that?"

"Father is mother?" she guessed.

Jiang Jinxing shook his head, but didn't say who it was.

He just glanced at her like a little adult, and said with a straight face: "If you are ill, you will not be able to marry."

"..."

In this tone, it seems that she wants to marry her?

Jiang Rao coughed.

She got up and left the pavilion, but at night, she asked Yu'er to inquire at the servant girl who was serving by Jiang Jinxing's side.

"Who has the young master met recently?"

Afraid that someone would bring down his younger brother, Jiang Rao would send a maid from time to time to ask Jiang Jinxing's servant to ask such a sentence or two to see who Jiang Jinxing had met.

The little servant hesitated a little, thinking that Rong Ting, who had often met with them in the academy recently, was not a new person, and he had not often met before? It's just a coincidence that I've encountered more times recently. It seems that there is no need to report this, he shook his head towards Yu'er.

...

When they went to the palace banquet, Jiang Rao and Hu Tang rode in the same carriage, and the street was in a hurry, and they all went to the east, as if something happened there.

Hutang couldn't sit still and wanted to go east. Jiang Rao saw her like this, stopped the carriage, sent Mingshao out, and stopped a passerby to inquire.

Ming Shaohui

When he came, his face was pale and his eyes were full of fear, "It's Liu Qi, who was tortured at Caishikou..."

"Liu Qi? Liu Shangshu?"

Hu Tang looked ignorant as he didn't know what was going on.

Mrs. Hu looked at the marriage for her, but Hu Tang not only refused, but wanted to sneak out of Beijing and went to Saibei to find her father. She was locked up by Mrs. Hu for three months, and she didn't know anything about what happened outside.

Jiang Rao explained to her, "He embezzled too much silver tael and was condemned to death by the emperor."

Liu Qi was the Minister of War.

In addition to him, several officials in the Sixth Department were investigated.

Chen Bing was one of them. He had close ties with Liu Qi, and his crimes were not as serious as Liu Qi's, so he was demoted to Hunan.

Chen Congyun got what she wanted in the spring and was promised to the third prince, but she was not implicated by her father.

Jiang Rao was in the back house, and it was hard to have the opportunity to know what was going on in the officialdom. These turmoils could be heard in her ears, and Jiang Rao also vaguely felt the turmoil in the situation.

After hearing the news of Chen Bing's downfall, she felt relieved, feeling that God was on her side.

When the same news reached Empress Jiahe, an uncontrollable anger appeared on her face.

Zhang Qi, Chen Bing, and other officials who have been investigated in the past six months, nearly half of them are closely related to her father and the Xu family.

All that crippled handwriting!

He didn't even show his face, and asked the young son of the Liao family, who looked like a waste, to help him, and gradually eliminated the dissidents in the court. At this level, she began to feel that her foundation was shaken, and she was worried about so many years. The plan fell through.

It was all after Rong Ting got engaged.

She didn't think about what "gift" to give him, but he didn't say anything.

She shouldn't listen to Shen Xiuying's words lightly, just because Emperor Zhaowu's sudden illness was told by her, she really thought that she had opened her eyes and could easily know what would happen in the future. The Ning An Bo Mansion with the help of Ting.

Now that Ning An's Mansion has not collapsed, Rong Ting's foundation has been firmly established.

She remembered that Shen Xiuying came with a look of disgust, and she spent a lot of money to pry her mouth open.

Even though Shen Qinying was dead, she still hated her teeth.

As for Ning An Bo Mansion and Rong Ting...

When her son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, these people will be prisoners sooner or later.

The corners of her mouth were pursed, and her eyes were cold.

The palace that is combing her hair

The woman looked at the sullen face in the mirror, she stopped in fright, and knelt down, "Slave, slave, it's not intentional, the goddess spared the slave."

Empress Jiahe glanced at her, she was in a bad mood, and it was a hindrance to see everything, so she changed her maid to comb her hair.

A pile of pearls and emeralds, wearing a phoenix hairpin, suddenly heard someone call her "mother queen" behind her.

Empress Jiahe caught a glimpse of the seventeenth prince's happy and smiling face in the mirror, and his face sank, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I heard that there is a flower viewing banquet in the palace, I..."

The seventeenth prince looked at Empress Jiahe's increasingly gloomy face, and suddenly murmured that he didn't dare to say any more.

Empress Jiahe reprimanded him: "You can't come back until Ben Gong has sent someone to call you back."

The seventeenth prince lowered his head in a sullen mood.

His cowardly appearance made Empress Jiahe tighten his brows even more, "If you don't live up to your expectations, and when you go out of the mansion, how can this palace be like this now, with everything by your side? What will you do then? Is good?"

At this time, a palace maid served tea.

"My lady, calm down."

The ordinary looking maid bowed her body and poured tea for Empress Jiahe. When she put down the teacup, she was pressing a letter under the steaming hot teacup.
