The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 148 The Contest Between Men
Dragging her chin with her fingers, Bao'er looked in deep thought, and asked, "But the princess has been hiding her name for so long, what exactly is she planning? My lord, if we show sincerity and are willing to help her, will she change her mind?"

"That woman is very wary, especially in the previous unpleasant encounter. She must still be harboring a grudge. Even if I say it is a hype, she may not believe me. It would be more convincing to explain the problem with actual actions." Sima Xu Kong smiled proudly, and said, "Besides, I now roughly know the purpose of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and this is exactly what I want. Working hard for a common goal can be regarded as cooperation between us!"

Looking at Sima Xukong's side face, Bao'er thought to herself that the prince hadn't shown such a bright smile for a long time, and it seems that the princess is the most powerful, and she only showed her face a little, and it made the prince's troubles disappear. As good as before, I still don't know what happiness will look like.It's just that back then, why did they become what they are now?It's really curious!

Ever since Mr. Zilin met his eldest grandson Jingrong by chance, there have been more and more opportunities for such "encounters". Until the eldest grandson Jingrong felt that something was wrong, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and protested to him.

"Mr. Zilin, when did you become so idle? Could it be that the rivers and lakes have been too quiet recently, don't you need to come forward to preside over the overall situation?"

Smiling and shaking the paper fan, Mr. Zi Lin said leisurely: "The affairs of the Jianghu are naturally taken care of by the people of the Jianghu, and I am just an undisciplined person. How can I be shackled? Besides, compared to those boring things, I am more interested in Your plan is more interesting. You might as well tell me how you want to carry out your plan, and maybe I can be of help."

"Don't worry, you will definitely not like my plan. Maybe after you hear it, you will say boring, absurd, shameless and other comments. My life is not as clean and pure as you think. Mr. Zilin is not suitable for me. If you come into contact with such a person, you'd better stay away from me."

Facing the frosty eldest grandson Jingrong, Mr. Zi Lin did not flinch, but said more enthusiastically: "How do you know, how do I evaluate you? I always feel that the girl and I will become best friends, because our The same is true for preferences. Everyone in the world thinks that Mr. Zilin should be condescending and impeccable. But in fact, no one cares about what I think in my heart or what my nature is. This point, I I think you must feel the same, girl."

Although Mr. Zilin's words were very gossipy, Changsun Jingrong was really not in the mood to ask the bottom line now, so he said, "I'm not interested in what kind of person you are. Similarly, I also hope that your son will not disturb my life."

"But no matter what you do, you always need allies, and I guess you're dealing with someone of high authority. Wouldn't it be better for you if someone could act as your insider?"

Looking at Mr. Zilin's gentle smile, Changsun Jingrong suddenly became a little confused about this man.Is he still the Mr. Zi Lin who is said by the world that he does not eat fireworks?She's obviously an eighth woman in a kind cloak!However, being able to hide this characteristic so well is indeed a skillful effort.But Mr. Zilin has a lot to say, if he is the internal support, his plan will go much smoother.

Eyebrows raised, Changsun Jingrong said: "If I make up my mind, I will naturally notify Mr. Zilin. But now I have to go back. After all, your identity is too conspicuous. If people notice me, it will be troublesome." .”

"Alright. I guess the girl doesn't want me to escort her back, so let's say goodbye again."

Mr. Xiang Zilin nodded slightly, and the eldest grandson Jingrong walked away slowly with Shaoyao.

It's just that Mr. Zilin over here just said goodbye to his eldest grandson Jingrong, when he looked up, he saw a handsome face full of anger, staring at him covetously.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Mr. Zi Lin said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I will meet the Ninth Prince here."

"It was a coincidence that I met you, so what is it for you to meet her?" Sima Xukong said angrily, "That is my woman, I hope Mr. Zilin can remember!"

Faced with Sima Xukong's accusation, Mr. Zi Lin just smiled lightly and said, "But this is just the Ninth Prince's wishful thinking. If she really admits her identity, why does she have to disguise her identity all the way? No or not. Get a sense of security from you?"

"you……"

"Also, it feels good to be able to help him openly instead of sneakily!"

hateful!Isn't this man always indifferent, why is his tone so tricky and weird now!Also, what does he mean by this? Could it be that he also has a weird feeling about his eldest grandson Jingrong! ?
Clenching his fists, Sima Xukong looked at Mr. Zilin provocatively, and said, "I don't care what you think, but she is still my wife now, and I will not allow others to touch my woman! If you insist on If you come into contact with the mirror, then don't blame me for being unreasonable!"

"But she's not living a happy life," Mr. Zi Lin just smiled faintly in the face of Sima Xukong's anger, and his tone was so calm that he wanted to be punched, but what he said made Sima Xukong unable to refute , looked at him gently with a pair of smiling eyes, and said elegantly, "A man can give her happiness, but another man can only make her sad. If you were the mirror, who would you choose?"

"I don't allow you to call her boudoir name like that!" Sima Xukong stepped forward, grabbed Mr. Zilin by the collar, his eyes were bloodshot, and said angrily, "Helian Zilin, I think you are Want to fight, right?"

"If this makes you give up, I can give it a try."

"It's impossible for me to give up on her, so just give up!"

Although it is a way of being hijacked, Mr. Zilin still maintained a sense of elegance, calmly looked at Sima Xukong who was like an angry lion, and said, "Let's see, who can win?" Her heart is gone."

"you……"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Bao'er hurriedly tried to persuade him: "People come and go here, but they all look at you! Even if you don't think about your respective reputations, you still have to keep them safe... Princess's Fame! Everyone doesn't want any rumors that are not good for the princess to spread outside!"

The corners of his mouth were pursed stiffly, and Sima Xukong let go of Mr. Zilin in a voice of hatred, and he took half a step back and said coldly: "I don't care how you pester the mirror, but this is my family matter, and I don't want outsiders to interfere. Yes, Helian Zilin, you'd better remember, she is my woman, if you keep pestering her, I will definitely make you regret it!"

"It's useless to say harsh words, let's see who can win the hearts of the beauties in the end." Mr. Zi Lin didn't seem to want to discuss any more. After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving Sima Xukong , All kinds of curses at his back.

Seeing Sima Xukong's childish nature, Bao'er couldn't help but said awkwardly: "My lord, let's go back first, let's think about it."

To be honest, if the competitor was someone else, the prince would not take it seriously at all, but this person is the famous Mr. Zi Lin, if he were a girl, he would be tempted, not to mention the princess is still There is a conflict with the prince. Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to judge who has the more advantage, the prince or Mr. Zilin.But who made the Ninth Prince his master, Bao'er could only carefully choose words that would not offend him, and stabilize him first before speaking.

Raising his hand and hanging down on a wooden stake, Sima Xukong said bitterly: "I didn't expect him to be a villain who took advantage of the fire! No, now that there is such a competitor, I can't just wait any longer, I can't just sit and watch." Watching her fall into the arms of another man!" Ou Le

"Then, my lord, what shall we do now?"

His eyes narrowed, and Sima Xukong exuded a kind of desperate madness all over his body, and said darkly: "She is a woman who will take revenge. This time I ventured back to Beijing to take revenge on the guy who designed to frame her. Then I Just do what he likes and give him a helping hand!"

After a few days of secret observation, Changsun Jingrong discovered that Xue Lingruo had recently gotten very close to a lady from the official family surnamed Chen, and this Miss Chen liked to attend banquets, so Xue Lingruo would occasionally attend some banquets with her.With Xue Lingruo's current status, she can be said to be the most popular among the girls waiting to be married in the capital, and she will become the focus of attention wherever she goes.But that Miss Chen didn't seem to mind this. On the contrary, she liked to stand next to the focal point and enjoy the attention that didn't belong to her.

The reason why Xue Lingruo patiently attended these annoying occasions was because she wanted to take the opportunity to announce to everyone that she was the mistress of the Nine Princes' Mansion in the future.Although the Empress Dowager suppressed the matter because of her eldest grandson Jingrong's "illness", her father has mentioned the matter of getting married to the emperor many times recently, and the emperor has also shown signs of letting go. It seems that the emperor will soon Issue the imperial edict personally and bestow myself on Sima Xukong!At that time, no matter where the eldest grandson Jingrong is, he is no longer qualified to fight with himself!
With this in mind, Xue Lingruo seized every opportunity to show off to everyone how the Ninth Prince "loves" him, and he is a frequent visitor to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he knows it well, and even when he is on the rise, he will use it as the hostess. In his capacity, he invited the wives and ladies of the official family to visit him.

At the beginning, everyone would secretly laugh at Xue Lingruo's resentment for marrying so much, but after one lady behaved like this, she never appeared at the banquet again. It is said that she got a strange disease after returning home and has been lingering in bed.Since then, no one dared to speak rudely to Xue Lingruo. They just blindly obeyed and complimented Xue Lingruo.

Tonight, there was another dinner party at Lin Shilang's house. Ms. Chen invited Xue Lingruo, and said that there was a female gentleman who was good at guzheng at the banquet today.If Xue Lingruo's piano skills can be shown by the opportunity, it will make Xue Lingruo's reputation even more famous in Kyushu.

For this reason, Xue Lingruo specially prepared a guzheng, and waited for it to shine at the dinner party.

But the female gentleman who was supposed to be good, fell into a strange illness before leaving and was unable to come, which made Xue Lingruokong very happy.Since he had no chance to show off his superb piano skills, Xue Lingruo lacked interest all night and couldn't get any energy out of it.

The wife of Lin Shilang's family is also smart. Seeing Xue Lingruo's careful thinking, she planned to find another one who is good at playing the piano immediately, so that Xue Lingruo can compete with her.But after thinking about it, this lady only thought of Li Yichen's concubine, Liu Shuyun.Although Li Yichen was not easy to provoke, on such an occasion, having a concubine like Liu Shuyun attend could be regarded as giving her face, so he hurriedly summoned someone to invite Liu Shuyun.

Since marrying into the Li family, Liu Shuyun has not had the opportunity to attend such a banquet, so after receiving the news of the invitation, she hurriedly chose a set of her favorite clothes and hurried over.

It's just that when they got there, Liu Shuyun was told not to be too eye-catching. All of them wanted to set off Xue Lingruo tonight.After hearing such words, Liu Shuyun was not happy at the moment, she felt that she was no longer that lowly commoner girl, how could she be suppressed like this?And this Xue Lingruo is just a nympho girl who likes the Ninth Prince, what ability does everyone have to pave the way for her willingly?

With this in mind, during the piano performance, Liu Shuyun did not listen to the advice, but used all her skills to play "Flower Color Moon Night Song".Everyone was intoxicated listening to the dreamlike tune, but only Xue Lingruo's expression became ugly.By the time the others reacted, she had already reluctantly walked behind the guzheng and began to tune the piano with her bare hands.But Xue Lingruo is more suitable for living on horseback after all. Her fingers are stiff, and she is more suitable for holding a sword than playing the piano.With this kind of piano sound, you don't need to think about who is the one with superb piano skills.

But at this time, everyone could see that Xue Lingruo was angry. In order to avoid disputes, everyone could only praise Xue Lingruo's better piano skills without thinking.But this made Liu Shuyun very angry, and felt that what he had practiced for many years was just a stepping stone for his fame to spread far and wide, so why not!
If there was one person present who could remind Liu Shuyun, then she would not risk her life to say the following words.

It's a pity that if there is no if, Liu Shuyun still stood up slowly, sneered, and said: "If I had known that I would be playing the piano tonight, I would not have come!"

Liu Shuyun's blunt tone made everyone angry, surrounded Liu Shuyun, and commented: "You are a concubine, and being here is already a special gift, what right do you have to shout here? Really? It’s really from a small family, and you don’t know any etiquette!”

"No, if I knew I couldn't afford to lose, I wouldn't have called her! This skill is not as good as others, and I'm going to talk nonsense again. It's really a joke. I say you should go back and practice hard!"

Facing the doubts from these people, Liu Shuyun said proudly: "I have been to the Women's Poetry Club. The sound of the piano is even praised by the mothers in the palace. How could it be a vulgar thing! On the way here, Chen The people sent by my wife have said that you should be careful when performing, and you must be under Miss Xue. Isn’t it obvious, I don’t know how to improvise at all, and I don’t have to gather with everyone. I’m just a replacement technician Piano Dancer!"

Seeing Liu Shuyun saying everything, Mrs. Chen's face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly defended herself: "When did I let someone talk like this! Don't swear!"

The women who walked closely with Madam Chen on weekdays all stood behind her, pointed at Liu Shuyun, and reprimanded: "It's just a concubine's room, and I don't have the right to appear here. Madam Chen kindly invited her to come here." , I didn't expect to say such impolite words! I think she should be kicked out now!"

Those who are intimidating naturally have to be gentle, and another girl said: "Girl, the reason why you question Miss Xue is because you have never heard Miss Xue's piano sound before! There are people outside this person, There is a sky beyond the sky, don't always think that you are the most powerful, that will only make people laugh at you as a frog in a well!"

"You..." Glaring at the crowd, Liu Shuyun realized that these people are really shameless, they can speak so truthfully without conscience, they don't know the truth, maybe they really think that they are a villain for fame!

Ms. Chen snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Why are you talking so much to her? Anyway, she is not welcome, so let her leave quickly. Hey, these people are divided into groups by likes, and they are That's right!"

Seeing the disdainful eyes of the people around her, Liu Shuyun felt embarrassed, and left in a hurry holding her beloved zither.

Mrs. Xu had good intentions and wanted to find someone to set off Xue Lingruo according to the original plan.But I didn't expect that I found such a woman who didn't know how to adapt, and Xue Lingruo must have been angered by this!

Mrs. Xu's complexion was a bit ugly, she stood behind Xue Lingruo, smiled flatteringly and said: "Hey, I should blame me for this matter, I think this woman is good at playing piano, and Miss Xue also likes playing piano, so I want her Let's compete together. I didn't expect to be petty, and I can't afford to lose, hey, it's really my sin to spoil everyone's interest!"

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Xu? It's obvious that the woman doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity. Tsk tsk, I think she will definitely not be favored in the Li family, and she will disappear soon. .”

Amidst the voices of the girls entertaining, Miss Chen looked at Xue Lingruo and said with a smile: "It was a good thing, but I didn't expect to disturb my sister's good mood."

"I'm fine, how can I have the same knowledge as that kind of person." Xue Lingruo said indifferently, "Also, throw away this piano, I feel sick just looking at it!"

"Yes, yes, come quickly, throw away these pianos, tables, etc., don't put them here as an eyesore!"

Those wives and ladies, watching the servants tidying up in a hurry, secretly speculated in their hearts that this concubine of the Li family might not have a good life.
