Chapter 98: Refuse

Today's dynastic meeting just broke up unhappily.Later, when she came to have a meal with me, she looked as if nothing had

happened. She never mentioned anything about the early morning, but silently

used the dishes in front of me, occasionally picking up a chopstick for me,

her eyes narrowed, like I'm thinking about something and don't want to look at

me.I didn't know where I got my enthusiasm, so I let go of the bowls and

chopsticks, and took the initiative to speak: "I'm serious about the

suggestions about the draft."——Since Kuang Xiqing became the throne, there is only one child under his

knees, which is not a good thing for the ruler.Put all expectations on her, if something happens to this child, the whole

country will fall into turmoil.She was tasting the food in her mouth. She just stopped looking at me with her

chopsticks. Instead, she changed the subject abruptly: "Don't say this,

today's bamboo shoots are very fresh and tender. Why not give it a try.""You know what I mean... Your Majesty." I deliberately emphasized the last two

words and managed to see her calm down.——This not only reminded her to seek her own government when she was in her

position, but also brought the gap between us farther and farther."Enough!" She slapped her chopsticks on the table, closed her eyes vigorously,

and took a deep breath, as if to calm the anger in her heart, and then calmly

asked me, "Are you going to force me? ""It's not that I want to force you to do anything, but how do you deal with

the civil and military of the dynasty and the people of the world?" Covering

all the emotions in my heart, I also looked back at her calmly, "Escape is not

the solution. The courtiers have all expressed their attitude-not to mention,

according to Kuang Xiqing's temperament, he will not refuse this matter again

and again. You should know this better than I am.""So what? You know, I'm not her, and I can't learn her style." Jiang Zhuo said

with a frown in silence for a while."I don't know her style, or what you think in your heart." I looked into her

eyes, and all kinds of emotions surged in my heart, and I almost couldn't

suppress it-at this moment I finally realized that I was not unwilling to her.

Disappointment is not without resentment. It’s just that these emotions are

always forgotten and hidden behind the pain. When they inevitably hurt each

other, they can’t help but pop up a little bit, “I only know that when you

choose to sit in that position. At that time, it was destined that you would

no longer be able to do whatever you want, but to force yourself to play the

role of Kuang Xiqing and the role of an emperor."——It's like I had to play that nasty Kuang Xihan... Over time, I got used to

it.Did I forget who I was, or did I have become a brand new one?"Don't compare me to her." It seemed that I was extremely disgusted when I

compared them. Jiang Zhuo's face changed, and his voice became completely

cold. "What she doesn't dare to do, I dare.""What are you going to do?" Perceiving the cold smile at the corner of her

mouth and the strange bright color in her eyes, I had a bad feeling."Jian Xin, why do you look at me defensively like this?" She lowered her

eyebrows, sighed deeply, and listened to her as she turned her words, and said

pointedly: "I couldn't help but hide from you before... …So, what you promised

me, will you regret it?""Naturally not." Although I couldn't guess the intention she mentioned

suddenly, I nodded seriously, "I promised you, I will definitely do it."-Even if you don't need this promise at all. Sure enough, she listened to her with a chuckle and said, "I will not agree to

accept any servants... But I will tell the world and marry you as a

concubine."——My heart suffocated, but my first reaction was rejection."Are you crazy?" I couldn't believe she had such crazy thoughts.If it was in the past, I must be overjoyed and agreed without a second word,

but at this moment, there is nothing but absurdity-after all, she is now my

emperor in name.Not to mention the political enemies who see me as a scourge, but how do the

people of the Li people in the world think of me, and how do they think of her

who ordered her?This is really a treacherous thing, compared to the fact that the king's

request to accept the concubine seems insignificant."Why? You don't want it?" She pursed her lips and looked at me displeased, as

if a touch of injury passed through her eyes, "You said you want to be with

me... Did you all lie to me?"——I said it was pretty good.But the person I confessed to was my personal guard, the one who gave me a

sense of security, would call me "host" with a cold voice, and would look at

my Jiang Zhuo with gentle eyes.It is not this person who holds the identity of Kuang Xiqing, sits in the

world but refuses to reveal a word of truth."At this time, at another time," staring directly at her sharp eyes, cruelly,

he still said something, "What's more, it's clear that you lied to me first,

didn't you?"I probably didn't expect that I would not forget to accuse her when I refused.

Jiang Zhuo's face turned pale and couldn't help but laugh wryly: "You are

right, it was I who concealed you first...I took the blame."Seeing her slumped like this, I couldn't help but feel softened. For some

reason, I squeezed my palm and kept silent-the pain taught me to wake up, and

gently opened my eyes.After a while, she left quietly, leaving only a shallow sigh floating in the

air.I thought that this was the case, but unexpectedly, she caught everyone by

surprise at the meeting on the second day.At first, she just calmly allowed the officials underneath to persuade the

draft picks to accept all kinds of new ideas, and smiled perfunctorily. She

did not agree to it, but she did not categorically reject it like yesterday.

This gave them to those people. An illusion that she is hesitating.I was almost deceived by her performance, thinking that she was really

loosening all the different levels of advice and advice from everyone. She

felt relieved from the crisis in her heart, but there was also a trace of loss

that could not be ignored-after all, I I never let go of her in my heart, so

how can I calmly face her looking for a new love?It's just being forced to suppress and deceive yourself and don't care.I was so sad, but I heard the person on the throne suddenly laughed, and his

voice was as cold as a layer of ice: "Fang Zhengqing of the Ministry of Rites,

before discussing the various matters of the draft, you might as well talk

about you in Yuchun Street. How did the three-in and three-out house come

from?"——Fang Zhengqing, who was mentioned by her name, was the first official who

proposed the draft, and was also the most important supporter among them.And Yuchun Street is one of the best neighborhoods in Guanlan City. People who

live there are either rich or expensive. If you follow the salary in the Book

of the Ministry of Rites, you will probably be able to afford it after a

hundred years of endless struggle. A small courtyard; not to mention that Fang

Zhengqing is only a fourth-grade waiter."This..." She lifted her clothes and slowly knelt on the marble tiles in the

hall, her complexion seemed calm, and her eyes were indeed dodging."Of course the most valuable is not the house, but the handsome young man

living in the backyard," Jiang Zhuo seemed to have changed his person, changed

his taciturn temperament, talked like a gun, and blocked Fang Zhengqing's face

pale. , Crumbling, "Jin Zangfang's top brand, one night daughter, is said to

have been wrapped by an adult for a month...Tsk, Fang Qing is really, such a

big handwriting.""Weichen, Weichen..." Fang Zhengqing shook his head with a wry smile, and

finally gave up his defense.——Obviously, since Jiang Zhuo can say this, he must have a lot of evidence of

her greed for ink, and any one of them is enough to teach this ruin, and she

will deny it, but she will only be humiliated."Also, Master Sheng from the Ministry of Housing, Master Wang from the

Ministry of War, Master Liu from Dali Temple..." Jiang Zhuo didn't care about

her anymore. , One person knelt down in panic. Not long after, the hall

kneeled down more than a dozen officials from different departments. Their

positions were high or low. The same point was nothing more than the voices of

the most popular picks yesterday.What a trick to draw a salary from the bottom of the pan!Judging from the information Jiang Zhuozhang had revealed unintentionally, it

seemed that she had grasped everyone's handle. After this, who else would dare

to be the rafters of this early age?It is said that the prefects were cleared for three years, and one hundred

thousand snowflakes silver, these decent officials, who would dare to slap

their chest and promise to make sure that they did not have any shameful

deeds?I just don't know, Jiang Zhuo sent someone to find out these things overnight,

or he had already prepared them...If it was the latter, it would be terrible.After the officials taught her to hold her back with this hand, Jiang Zhuo

unhurriedly threw out another heavy news: "I have a girl I like, and I want to

accept her as a concubine. What do you think of Aiqing?"I became stiff and looked at her subconsciously, but she ignored me, just

leaned back in her chair confidently, and slowly scanned the officials below,

unaware of how shocking she was saying.If it wasn't that the time, place, and position were wrong, I would almost

give her a thumbs up for her strategy: This is really a good plan to enlist

Wei to save Zhao.It is inferred from this that she used thunder to deter the officials headed

by Fang Zhengqing, although it was to kill the chickens and to warn them to

stop the draft, but it was also to pave the way for the decision of the

concubine—no matter how much the decision was. Shocking the world, the

officials whose pigtails were caught by her no longer have the courage to put

their beaks."Very well, since Zhuqing has no objections, let Fang Qing take care of this

matter." She stroked the piping of her cuffs and smiled relaxedly, "I believe

Fang Qing will not disappoint me.""Weichen..." Fang Zhengqing knelt on the ground, wanting to cry without tears."Retreat." Without giving her a chance to refuse, and no time for others to

speak, Jiang Zhuo gave me a fixed look before standing up and leaving—the look

seemed provocative, and a little bit more provocative. proud.I felt cold all over, and my heart sank to the bottom.After returning to the residence, not long after, Jiang Zhuo sent someone to

deliver a box, and the gods secretly had to tell me to hold back the others

and open it alone.He lifted the lid distractedly, and inside was a bright red suit.The red is warm and flamboyant, but it hurts my eyes deeply.Stroking the soft cloth, I hesitated again and again, but finally made up my

mind.At night, I used scissors to cut out a corner piece of clothing and hid it in

my sleeve pocket. By taking a walk, I once again came to the rockery where I

met Zizheng, and quietly tied the red piece of clothing in an inconspicuous

place.——I can't stop her, so I can only choose to leave.It's better to forget each other, maybe this is the best ending for me and

her.
