Chapter 781 The person who performed the fighting beast was Xiao Tingchen

The jacket and skirt chosen by the maid for Su Jiu was carmine red, with intricate honeysuckle flowers embroidered with gold thread, which was extraordinarily beautiful and bright.

Su Jiu sat in front of the dressing table, with three thousand black hair tied into a beautiful and graceful bun.

She endured the discomfort and asked the maid to even out the rouge for her, and protested softly: "Xie Rongjing, I don't want to dress up so ostentatiously."

Xie Rongjing stood behind her with his hands behind his back.

Danfeng's eyes flashed coldly, and he smiled gently, "Xiaojiu is only 15 years old, dress up brightly, what kind of ostentation? You don't have to worry about being gossiped, with me around, no one dares to say no to you."

After finishing speaking, he leaned over and picked out a ruby ​​tassel Jinbuyao from the jewelry box.

He put on the hairpin for Su Jiu himself, put his big palms on the girl's shoulders, and looked at the beauty in the Linghua mirror, "Xiaojiu used to be dressed too plainly, it's a pity for this face. A color like carmine, can be so beautiful." It really brings out the beauty of Xiaojiu."

The girl in the mirror has red lips and white teeth, and her appearance after thinly applied makeup is extremely charming.

Every frown and smile is extremely touching.

Su Jiu glanced at it and then averted his gaze.

Xiao Tingchen is not here, she is so well dressed, it doesn't make any sense.

It's just a vase for people to watch...

Xie Rongjing intertwined her fingers and led her out of the mansion, "Your brother loves fighting beasts and lackeys the most. When we enter the Colosseum later, let's sit with your brother and Zhou Baojin, okay?"

Su Jiu didn't say a word.

In the past few days with Xie Rongjing, she has figured out this man's temperament.

Probably because Xiao Tingchen cast too much shadow on him, so he was full of possessiveness towards her and would arrange everything for her.

Whether that's what she likes...

The Colosseum was built in the Royal Pear Garden.

Because many dangerous beasts were locked up, it was strictly separated from the theater.

The Colosseum is a circular stepped building, and hundreds of people are sitting around the auditorium, including wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.

Su Jiu was led by Xie Rongjing to Lu Cunwei's seat, Zhou Baojin hurriedly got up, "Su Su!"

After shouting, seeing Xie Rongjing, I couldn't help being a little scared.

The current Xie Rongjing is high and powerful, he is no longer the stealthy playboy in Jinling City in the past.

She saw him clasping his fingers with Susu's, and wrapping his palms around Susu's slender waist, as if he wanted to lock Susu tightly by his side.

"Susu..."

Her voice was small, and she called again tentatively.

Su Jiu sat down with Xie Rongjing, forced a smile on her face, "Are you coming to see the beast fighting too?"

"Yes." Zhou Baojin nodded and handed her an orange, "Daqi issued an order to ban beast fighting ten years ago, and now it is open for the first time in ten years, so we must come and see the excitement. I heard that beast fighting All the tickets for the venue have been sold out, and they are hard to find in the market."

In the past, fighting beasts was mostly the pleasure of aristocratic families. They spent huge sums of money on betting, causing Chang'an to be in a mess.

At that time, Yuan Xiao was busy sending troops to conquer other countries. For the sake of the stability of his family, he promulgated a ban on beast fighting, which once made those aristocratic families very angry.

Now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, it is open again...

Su Jiu was not interested in fighting beasts.

She took Zhou Baojin's orange and was about to peel it, but Xie Rongjing took it away.

He said lightly: "This thing is cold, it's not good to eat."

Su Jiu lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.

She was used to this man's domineering, these few days, he would even ask how many cups of tea she ate every day.

Zhou Baojin was a little embarrassed, he quietly tugged on Lu Cunwei's sleeve, and pointed to Xie Rongjing and Su Jiu.

Lu Cunwei was also a little displeased, he protected Zhou Baojin, and tentatively said in a gentle voice: "Master Xie, I have been visiting my sister these few days to see my sister, but I was stopped by your servant... Although Duke Lu's mansion expelled my sister from the house, but That's just an expedient measure for my father, isn't it inappropriate for you to be so domineering?"

Su Jiu was stunned.

She didn't expect her brother to even visit her...

She looked at Xie Rongjing, the man still looked like the dawn of spring, but there was coldness in Danfeng's eyes, "She is a gift from the emperor to me. If you give it to me, it's mine. She doesn't need to contact the Lu family, as long as I accompany her Will suffice."

Lu Cunwei was annoyed, "Xie Rongjing, that's not what you said at the beginning!"

"What's that like?" Xie Rongjing smiled lowly, "Do you know how badly Xiaojiu was harmed by Xiao Tingchen?! Do you know what will happen after the subjugation of the country in the past?! Your Lu family can't protect Xiaojiu at all. Only when I Only by her side can she get the best care!"

As the man talked, Danfeng's eyes gradually turned scarlet.

The big palms around Su Jiu's slender waist kept tightening, as if they wanted to imprint this girl deeply into his bones and blood.

Lu Cunwei was furious, "Xie Rongjing—"

Before he could make a sound, a light laughter like a silver bell suddenly sounded from behind.

Su Jiu looked back, and Xue Xiwen was surrounded by a group of aristocratic women.

Xue Xiwen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled brightly, "Hey, the empress also came to see the beast show?"

A noble lady next to her reminded with a smile: "Sister Xue, what kind of empress is Su Jiu? The emperor didn't send her to a place like the military camp because of the loyalty of Lu Guogong's family..."

"That's right!" Another lady pinched an embroidered handkerchief, raised her eyebrows and eyes full of sarcasm, "That's why the Marquis cared about her and brought her into the Marquis' mansion. It's just for fun. Marry her. If you marry, you have to marry a lady of the right family, such as sister Xue..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhou Baojin stood up abruptly.

The round and jade-like beauty was trembling with anger, and her heart and eyes were full of grievances for Su Jiu.

"Hmph, we didn't talk about you, why are you angry?" Those noble girls were very proud, "She knows who we are talking about. She is ashamed to attend such a grand event among the rich and powerful... We If it were her, she would have been too ashamed to hide in Lord Hou's mansion and dare not go out!"

"you--"

Zhou Baojin was too angry to speak.

Lu Cunwei protected her behind him, and said with a sneer, "If you dare to say anything against my sister, I'll fight you hard! It's just climbing up to Xue's house, do you really think you can walk sideways in Chang'an City?!"

Several noble ladies looked at each other, shoving and shoving each other, not daring to answer.

Xue Xiwen didn't care, and her playful eyes fell on Su Jiu.

The empress empress, who used to be high above her head, had a pale face and was held in Xie Houye's arms, she looked like a maidservant who was dedicated to entertaining the rich and powerful.

She also has today...

Xue Xiwen was holding the gold filigree hand stove, and seemingly unintentionally mentioned: "It's a coincidence that Miss Su came, you should have come to the beast show today."

She smiled and looked into the Colosseum.

Lions, tigers and other wild beasts were imprisoned in iron cages in the arena. Their roars kept coming and going. Because they had been hungry for three days, their mouths were open and their mouths were very scary.

She smiled, "Because the person who will perform the beast fight for us today is Xiao Tingchen."
