Chapter 182 Sending an Envoy to the Court
Sky Court

Zongzheng Xiaoting was just in the mood to taste the exquisite snacks.

The door was pushed open with a rough and angry force, and the door frame slammed against the wall due to the sudden inertia, making a loud noise.

The sudden fright made Qingqing, Ningshuang and the others froze in place.

"Back down, my king!" Situ Xunxiao was furious.

Seeing Situ Xunxiao's appearance, Zongzheng Xiaoting was unwilling to hurt Qingqing and Ningshuang. "Let's step back, the two of us will take care of the affairs of the palace and the prince."

"Yes!"

And Situ Xunxiao saw Zongzheng Xiaoting's appearance of not caring at all, and couldn't help being furious.Before Qingqing and Ningshuang came to the door, Situ Xunxiao had already stepped in and grabbed Zongzheng Xiaoting's wrist.

Qingqing and Ningshuang were about to turn back in a hurry, but they retreated obediently under Zongzheng Xiaoting's gaze.

"Zongzheng Xiaoting, you are too busy to take care of yourself now, do you still have the mind to remind others?" With a slight force on his palm, Situ Xunxiao couldn't control his strength because of his anger.

"It seems that the lord came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?" Zongzheng Xiaoting couldn't put on a calm smile because of the strength on his wrist, and his brows were tightly frowned, "Even if I came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, the princess of a country deserves it." Respect, my lord, don't forget."

Zongzheng Xiaoting struggled to shake off Situ Xunxiao's hand, only to see her frowning slightly and rubbing her sore wrist, her tone became more and more serious. "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let the fart go!"

Following Zongzheng Xiaoting's rude words, Situ Xunxiao obviously froze in disbelief. "you……"

"Why? I didn't say that the princess can't imitate ordinary people to talk like this! A dog jumps over the wall when you are in a hurry, and you are in a hurry, and you don't let me bite you!" Zongzheng Xiaoting looked like an idiot. He looked at Situ Xunxiao.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Situ Xunxiao snorted coldly, "You should know why this king is angry?"

"My lord thinks that I have stepped on your bottom line?" Zongzheng Xiaoting still rubbed her wrists and asked indifferently, but the slight sadness on her face also impacted Situ Xunxiao's heart.

"Do you know that the end of provoking Gong Yunluo is to give Gong Yunfei a chance to instigate her to cooperate with the queen mother? He is so angry, how can he remember that the king wants her, and protecting you is to protect the king?" Situ Xun Xiao's tone softened slightly, he took Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand unconsciously, took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, gently wiped it on Zongzheng Xiaoting's wrist, and said awkwardly , "This king is impatient."

"Are you... afraid?" Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao's face, under the cover, there was obviously fear and fear.

"I don't want to face the feeling of powerlessness that I want to protect but can't protect. What's more, it's human nature to protect our shortcomings. Now, we are on the same boat. If you move you, it will refute the face of this king. .” Situ Xunxiao’s eyes flickered.

Zongzheng Xiaoting could see that his words were insincere, but she knew that everyone had a secret in their hearts that they didn't want to be touched by others. Since Situ Xunxiao didn't want to say more, why should she dig others? pain?
"What if I say that this is what I want?" Zongzheng Xiaoting withdrew his hand, looked at Situ Xunxiao and asked with a smile.

"Is it appropriate to put yourself on the edge of the knife?" Situ Xunxiao frowned, seeing that his hand suddenly became empty, he hesitated for a while, and then withdrew his open palm.

Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head gently, and tilted his head to look at Situ Xunxiao, "War between women, when no one poses a threat, that war can be controlled by men, and once other people appear That is difficult to control. In fact, to be exact, men are the same, but men's feelings are deeper and more obscure than women's. Of course, it is normal for a prince like this who has never really loved before. .”

"Are you teasing me?" Situ Xunxiao responded coldly.

"That's what the prince says." Zongzheng Xiaoting winked at Situ Xunxiao mischievously.

"Zongzheng Xiaoting, are you really sure?" Without giving Zongzheng Xiaoting a chance to continue teasing, Situ Xunxiao immediately changed the subject and brought it back on track.

"That depends on whether my father wants to bet on using you as a puppet or abandoning my pawn." Zongzheng Xiaoting put on a confident smile on his face, "However, I don't know, as far as the prince knows , if Gong Yunluo and the Empress Dowager line up, when will I be summoned?"

"Settling accounts after autumn is what the queen mother has always been good at. Since they still want to use your hands to find the concubine Hua, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to punish them for several crimes?" Situ Xunxiao said disdainfully, making no secret of his love for the queen mother. disgust.

"Since this is the case, it is still similar to what I imagined." Zongzheng Xiaoting muttered, "I thought it was necessary for the prince to delay the time!"

Consistent with imagination?If there is an emergency, do you want to delay yourself?Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that everything was under control.

As the night grew darker, Situ Xunxiao still maintained his habit these days, that is to dine with Zongzheng Xiaoting at the Yunxiao Courtyard!

And Situ Xunxiao and Zongzheng Xiaoting also gradually lost the atmosphere of confrontation and tension, the atmosphere of harmony, the two hearts that were less and less wary of each other, changed each other unconsciously The way of getting along with each other also gave Situ Xunxiao greater confidence.

And in the next three days, Zongzheng Xiaoting naturally passed many tests and selected a suitable candidate for the painting concubine, and Mo Lian was selected. As for the remaining Xiangbichi, Lin Yin and Yinyu, According to Zongzheng Xiaoting's original words, he chose a side concubine for the sake of seeing and hearing, and stayed in Nanyuan to continue to observe.

On the day when the concubine was presented, the weather was fine, and a long-premeditated conspiracy was waiting for her arrival.

When entering the queen mother's palace, the abnormal atmosphere around naturally did not escape Zongzheng Xiaoting's most direct feeling. She pretended not to know that the storm was coming, and saluted the queen mother.

However, as expected, before she was seated, the Queen Mother had already raised her airs and started to question her.

"Princess Xiaoting is very capable!" The Empress Dowager's face, which was very kind one second before, has become cold in this second.

However, Zongzheng Xiaoting, who heard her questioning, didn't have the slightest intention to get up.

"I don't know what the empress dowager is so angry about?" Zongzheng Xiaoting always refused to buy it, but it aroused the empress dowager's fury. However, before the anger came out, the little eunuch hurriedly sent by the emperor Interrupted, "Qizou Empress Dowager, the prime minister of Luozha Kingdom is visiting, the emperor invites the Empress Dowager to prepare a dinner tonight, and invites the princess to meet."

"What did you say?" Zongzheng Xiaoting pretended to be surprised, "Is my grandfather here?"

"Empress Dowager, even if the envoys come..." Gong Yunluo said hurriedly, but was frightened away by the Empress Dowager's ruthless gaze.

Zongzheng Xiaoting ignored the empress dowager and said to the eunuch, "Please, father-in-law."

After finishing speaking, Zongzheng Xiaoting left alone.
