Even pretending to be unconscious wouldn't solve the problem. The imperial edict had already been passed down, and there was no way to change it.
Each courtyard sent many gifts with the obvious purpose of flattering the future wangfei. Although the Battle King wasn't someone His Majesty liked, his military exploits were impressive. Who knew if he would suddenly make a comeback?
Imperial Concubine Ning was grounded and unable to leave. She was sent with a gift and was asked to send someone to invite Jiu Jiu to the Fragrance Pavilion.
In his heart, Rong Jiu already had a plan for Imperial Concubine Ning, so he decided to just leave. With Imperial Concubine Ning's ability, who knows when she might be able to turn the tides. She still had to put on an act.
Although Imperial Concubine Ning was grounded, she ate and drank as sumptuously as before. She first asked Ji Yunhuang why he hadn't come, then explained the matter from a few days ago.
"Xiao Jiu, do you believe that I didn't get someone to bring you in?" "With our relationship, it's impossible for me to hurt you."
Rong Jiu nodded.
"Besides, look at how weak and delicate I am! I can only do that kind of thing, and only those who often hurt concubine sons while being beaten up in the palace."
Imperial Concubine Ning's words were just meant to make Rong Jiu feel that the empress had done all of this. This was also one of her tricks.
"Your Majesty knows this as well. I was only doing this because the empress is in the Residence of Prime Minister, after all. Your majesty has to consider his face."
Imperial Concubine Ning sighed, "Sigh, the ones with lower statuses like us can only look down on others and live on happily."
"Not at all." Rong Jiu comforted her, "Imperial Concubine Ning's appearance is something that the emperor loves. After so many years, the one he has doted on the most is you."
"Hehehe …" Imperial Concubine Ning covered her lips as she laughed non-stop. "You really know how to talk, little mouth. I like it."
"Oh right, Little Jiu, now that the emperor has bestowed the marriage on you and the Battle King, what do you think?" Imperial Concubine Ning investigated Rong Jiu to see if he could be loyal to her.
"Sigh, actually, I don't want to marry him." Rong Jiu didn't need to look to know what she was going to do. "But I can't do anything about the emperor bestowing marriage on me."
"Then …" Imperial Concubine Ning combined her words and asked, "If I allow you to live a good life, all you need to do is to constantly inform me of Prince Zhan's every action. If you need to cooperate with me, will you be willing?"
"Huh?" Rong Jiu covered his mouth in surprise. "Imperial Concubine wants me to spy on my future husband?" "You can't, the ancients said. Married a chicken to a dog, and married a chicken to a dog. If I were to marry him, I would have to listen to him. How can I betray him?"
Rong Jiu waved his hand, "No, no."
"Xiao Jiu, actually, things are not as difficult as you think. Moreover, in the future, when Yu'er succeeds Su'er, she will definitely be in a difficult situation. When the time comes …"
Imperial Concubine Ning hadn't finished when Rong Jiu hurriedly stood up and retreated, "Really, you can't. Imperial Concubine Ning, you know that you can't do this to Rong Jiu, but you really can't. If Rong Jiu didn't marry him, then you can't do this sort of thing."
"Then you can help me if you don't marry him?" Imperial Concubine Ning raised her brows, her worries spreading.
A smile flashed in Rong Jiu's eyes. "That's only natural. If you didn't marry him, it's only right for you to help Imperial Concubine monitor him."
"Come come come, Little Jiu, come and sit. We won't talk much anymore. Eat, eat, eat."
Both of them had their own thoughts. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they returned to the orphanage and began to study the Congealing Pill.
The location for the group to smash into the ground had already been set up. He pulled Fifteen and started practicing martial arts at the back. "Look at your weak body. When you go out in the future, others will think that I won't give it to you."
"If you can't lift his arm, you can't carry it. How will you protect the girl you like in the future? Fifteen years old, you have to listen to your master and study hard, understand? "
The group clasped their hands behind their backs, looking very much like a maester who was giving them lessons.
He earnestly looked at Fifteen and gave him pointers.
Fifteen clenched his teeth, and the weight in his hands caused him to fall backwards and forwards. However, he had to stand still when he saw that gaze. If the weight fell back to the ground, he would have to do it again.
If a person wants to become an expert, then he must take it step by step, starting from the basics. Fifteen, ah, tomorrow you will bring all kinds of food from the imperial kitchens to the orphanage. No one is allowed to help, and no boxes of food are allowed to fall to the ground.
"Master, I'm only four years old."
"I'm only four years old." "With just a single sentence, Bound Boat blocked fifteen people's path." "Tomorrow, I'll give you some exercise to train your stamina and stamina. You're not allowed to be lazy, okay?"
"Understood, Master."
Fifteen's body swayed twice before he regained his balance.
"The environment here is rather simple and crude, but it's better to be safe. There will always be people with ill intentions coming to attack us when we go to the training grounds. This place is still better."
After smashing himself, he understood that someone had done it on purpose in the training field.
While helping fifteen years to become strong, he also had to become stronger. He had to train hard to improve himself as well, whether it was medical skills or martial arts.
Rong Jiu was thinking about how to prevent the wedding from happening, because the last time she saw Imperial Concubine Ning, she understood that she didn't have to trouble herself with this matter.
However, in order to let her get closer to him, Imperial Concubine Ning would definitely do something.
The emperor had already chosen a auspicious day for Rong Jiu and Dongfang Qisu to marry each other.
Seeing the emperor, Rong Jiu thought that Dongfang Zisu was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, as if he was just making arrangements.
Rong Jiu thought it was strange, as strong and independent as he was, how could he allow himself to be arranged?
She went up to pay her respects. "Your Majesty, Rao Jiu has a request."
"Oh? "Go ahead."
It's like this, Rong Jiu was invited by the crown prince's wife to help her maintain her skin, but he hasn't gone out since he came to the palace. In the end, Rong Jiu is an outsider, and he also has some business outside the palace.
She lowered her head, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"You want to leave the palace?" Indeed, once you entered the palace, it would not be so easy to leave.
"Yes."
"Since you have already made an engagement with Su'er, I naturally have to give you some convenience. How about this, I'll give you an order later. From now on, you can freely enter and leave the Imperial Palace."
Rong Jiu kowtowed in gratitude, "Long live the Emperor."
This was great! It would be much easier for her to leave the palace. She hadn't heard about the situation of Huan Yan Xuan for a long time.
Leaving the office, Rong Jiu couldn't help but ask Dongfang Zisu, "I'm a woman with a child. I've had men before. Why didn't you resist? What if you have a woman you like in the future? "
