Chapter 69 Humiliation
Slowly putting down the cup, the eldest grandson Jingrong looked deeply at Xu Zizheng, with a sincere and sincere tone, and said: "If you don't ask the hero, Jingrong believes that the young master will definitely do something in the future. What is the current predicament, young master?" You are young and talented, and you will stand out wherever you go. You admire the young master because of his talent, so why should you belittle yourself?"

Xu Zizheng's face was excited by the words of the eldest grandson Jingrong. He looked at the eldest grandson Jingrong, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "You... really think so?"

Changsun Jingrong nodded with a smile.

Looking at the smiling grandson Jingrong, Xu Zizheng felt a lot of warmth in his heart.He was always placed high by his mother at home, and he kept in mind all day long that he wanted to stand out and study hard. He had never been so relaxed as he is now.Facing his eldest grandson Jingrong, Xu Zizheng seemed to have discovered another self, a complete self with independent thinking.

Changsun Jingrong is so familiar with Xu Zizheng, as long as he sees a change in his eyes, he can tell what he is thinking.But now, he has fallen into the gentle and thin net that he has woven!
Hanging her head to reveal a beautiful arc, the eldest grandson Jingrong smiled at the corners of her lips, like a winter jasmine in early spring, exuding aura and tenderness, making people unbearable to touch, but involuntarily attracted.

Such a beautiful picture, no one who sees it must have the heart to break it.But there is a person who just doesn't want to see such a scene.

"What are you doing!"

With such a voice in his ears, Changsun Jingrong really wanted to turn around and close the door, never to see him again!But endured and endured, Changsun Jingrong still suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried his best to smile, stood up and looked at Sima Xukong who was glaring at the door of the private room.

"Ninth Prince? What a coincidence, you also come for lunch?"

When he heard that it was the Ninth Prince, Xu Zizheng also stood up and bowed to Sima Xukong.

The bright eyes moved back and forth on Changsun Jingrong and Xu Zizheng, and Sima Xukong asked in a bad tone: "Who is this man, why do you want to have dinner with him?"

Sima Xukong's tone of catching rape on the bed made Changsun Jingrong want to roll his eyes and show him.But considering that there is Xu Zizheng who has a good impression of him by his side, Changsun Jingrong decided to put up with him for a while longer.

After taking a deep breath, Changsun Jingrong showed a perfect smile and said, "This is Mr. Xu. He saved my life, so I got to know him. We meet here today, so I invite him to have a meal together."

His scrutinizing eyes fell on Xu Zizheng, and Sima Xukong said displeasedly: "When you eat with me, you always look like you don't care about it. When you eat with this person, you smile so brightly. Just now In the upstairs next door, I saw it all! Changsun Jingrong, you don’t want to be tempted by such a suave and suave person as this king, but instead flirt with a poor boy, do you really care about me?”

After hearing Sima Xukong's words, Xu Zizheng's initial smile slowly disappeared from the corners of his mouth, and his palms gradually clenched tightly. The few copper coins on his chest also gave off a faint chill, which made him feel cold all over his body.

Originally, according to Changsun Jingrong's plan, she wanted to control Xu Zizheng to see what he was planning, so as to break his plan and make him miserable.But now is the best time for Xu Zizheng to let go of his guard and accept her.But he didn't want to be disrupted by this ubiquitous Sima Xukong.

Glancing sideways at Xu Zizheng, Changsun Jingrong knew that he was angry now, and he was afraid that the next time they met again, there would be a gap in his heart again.If things go on like this, will it really take another three years to find out the truth of the matter and punish him severely?That would be too much of a waste of time!
However, the short glance of Changsun Jingrong was caught by Sima Xukong, and the anger in his heart rose even more. He stepped forward and pulled Changsun Jingrong to his side, and said angrily: "It's all at this time! What are you still looking at!?"

"I……"

"Thank you, Miss Changsun, for your hospitality today." When Changsun Jingrong wanted to say something else, Xu Zizheng said with a smile, "Tomorrow... no, there will be no chance in the future. You really don't have to worry about what happened that day , it’s nothing more than a little effort. So... don’t let it go!”

Xu Zizheng first bowed to his eldest grandson Jingrong, then nodded to Sima Xukong, walked around the two, and left the private room in a hurry.

Xu Zizheng, a man who has been humiliated, will only work harder, but he will always remember the person who insulted him at the beginning, and when he has the opportunity in the future, he will humiliate him back mercilessly.It's just that it was Sima Xukong who humiliated him this time. Will Xu Zizheng wait for the opportunity to take revenge?
Seeing that the man had left, and the grandson Jingrong still looked "reluctantly", Sima Xukong patted the table vigorously, and asked, "What's so good about that poor boy that you can't forget it so much?"

Youyou turned around, Changsun Jingrong was no longer polite to him, with a calm expression, he said displeasedly: "I'm going to have a meal with my friend, why, is the Ninth Prince even interfering with this?"

"Of course," Sima Xukong said with his eyes widened, "Among men, you can only eat with me!"

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong sneered, and said, "Then how do I talk about business on weekdays? Are you not allowed to meet men?? If that's the case, I might as well just do nothing and just wait to starve to death!"

"You can let me take care of you!" Sima Xukong said confidently, "I have already said, let me take care of you. I can find someone to help you handle your little business. Live comfortably Are you still not satisfied with the stable days?"

Helplessly lowering his head, Changsun Jingrong really didn't know how to talk to this stubborn man.He seems to be living in a perfect world, and he doesn't understand the sufferings of the world at all. Should he be said to be fooling around, or is it unreasonable?

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong stopped talking, Sima Xukong continued to lobby: "Actually, my suggestion is good, isn't it? After all, no woman likes to run around."

With his arms supporting his forehead, Changsun Jingrong asked in a deep voice, "Is Ninth Prince hungry now?"

Sima Xukong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled all over his face, thinking that it was the eldest grandson Jingrong's initiative to show his favor, so he said, "If you say that, I really think I'm really hungry."

"If you're hungry, stay for a light meal."

Hearing this, Sima Xukong sat down with a smile.But at this very moment, Changsun Jingrong suddenly stood up, and left without saying a word with the two maidservants.

"Hey, where are you going!?"

"I'm not feeling well, go out for a walk!"

As soon as Changsun Jingrong walked to the stairs, he heard the sound of broken porcelain from the private room where he was just now. There were servants and shopkeepers standing outside the door, but no one dared to go in to see what was going on.

Withdrawing his gaze, Changsun Jingrong slowly walked out of the restaurant with a gloomy face.

Following behind the eldest grandson Jingrong, the three of them walked aimlessly on the street. Bi He said a little angrily: "Miss, I could have a good meal, but I don't want to be disturbed by the prince. Miss, how about we Go to another restaurant to eat something. You haven't eaten since you left in the morning. "

Changsun Jingrong shook his head and said, "I don't have much appetite now, let's go back to the other courtyard first."

"After returning to the other courtyard, the servant will prepare some light snacks for the young lady to calm down the anger."

As Bihe said this, she had already started to think in her heart, what to eat for her eldest grandson Jingrong, so as to catch her stomach.

Qiao Shan'er, who was standing by the side, was also full of thoughts at the moment. She looked at the back of her eldest grandson Jingrong, and said after a long while: "Miss, don't you think the Ninth Prince treats you differently?"

"Hmph, it's indeed different," Changsun Jingrong snorted coldly, and said, "He is indeed capable of torturing people."

"My servant didn't mean that," Qiao Shan'er bit her lip and said in a low voice, "My servant thinks that the Ninth Prince seems to have other ideas about you."

Bi He was concentrating on thinking about the ingredients just now, but her mind was also attracted by Qiao Shan'er's words, she widened her eyes and asked, "No way, the Ninth Prince is notoriously playful, we can't let him get involved with us." Miss!"

Bi He's voice was a little loud, causing passers-by to stare sideways, and Qiao Shan'er quickly covered her lips in shock, and said anxiously: "You stupid girl, how can you say such words so loudly, are you still afraid of others Don't you know you're talking about our lady!"

Looking at Qiao Shan'er with some annoyance, Bi He whimpered a bit, and after Qiao Shan'er took her hand away, Bi He stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice, "I was too excited just now, I was careless."

Sighing helplessly, Qiao Shan'er put down her hands and continued: "In short, this servant just feels that a majestic prince lives in such a complicated place as the palace, how can he be as simple-minded as he shows? If this is the case, he would have died ten times or eight times long ago. Moreover, the servants have heard that this Ninth Prince is quite cunning. Why does such a person seem to change his appearance when he sees Miss?"

"Either, he was pretending to be crazy, or..." Bi He wanted to be like Qiao Shan'er, wisely deducing the final result.But after thinking about it for a while, Bi He touched the back of her head, and said with a smile, "Either the servant doesn't know."

"Although you only said the first half of the sentence, you have already told the truth." Qiao Shan'er looked at Bi He with a smile and said leisurely.

"Ah?" Bi He looked at Qiao Shan'er in a daze, and murmured, "I can't, why is the Ninth Prince pretending to be stupid? His status is so noble, so many people want to cling to him, so why pretend to be in front of the young lady?" stupid?"

"Because he wants to use this method to get close to the lady," Qiao Shan'er said with a smile, "If the Ninth Prince appears to be superior, the lady will definitely avoid it, but if he puts down his airs and stalks him, Then the lady will be helpless. After all, because of the status of the prince, the lady can't be too harsh. In this way, the Ninth Prince can take the opportunity to get along with the lady, and then slowly think of a way to capture the lady's heart!"

Looking at Qiao Shan'er in a daze, Bi He said in disbelief: "The prince actually used such a method for the sake of our lady? But when did he fall in love with the lady?"

"This kind of thing, how can we distinguish so clearly, maybe even the prince himself is not very clear."

Seeing Qiao Shaner's bewildered expression, Bi He suddenly smirked and pushed her elbow, and asked mysteriously, "I said, how do you know so much? Have you experienced it before?"

"No way," Qiao Shan'er said with an embarrassed smile, "because my brother was very popular with girls back then, and they always tried every means to get close to him. Some."

I don't know if she recalled the past, but Qiao Shan'er, who was smiling all over her face just now, suddenly became quiet, her eyes sparkled, lightly and shallowly.

Looking sideways at Qiao Shan'er, who looked a little lonely, the eldest grandson Jingrong turned his gaze back, looked ahead, and said, "Don't be discouraged, one day, your brother will become what he was before. As long as you all still have hope, There will be a bright day."

Although the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't comfort Qiao Shan'er with righteous words, but just like this, she slowly regained her confidence, with a smile on her face, looking at the back of the eldest grandson Jingrong, it seemed that she could see hope .

Back in the other courtyard, Changsun Jingrong ate something casually, then went back to the room and continued to embroider.

But for some reason, the eldest grandson Jingrong was very confused at this moment, and the moment he was distracted, the silver needle pierced his fingertips, and bright red blood oozed out.

Putting it on his lips and sucking it, Changsun Jingrong frowned, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

And this prediction, after three days, all came true.

……

Pacing back and forth in the hall, Han Wanxin's face was full of anger, as if something was about to burst out of her chest, and her face turned red.

Seeing her appearance like this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but frowned and said, "It's not a big deal, why are you so angry? You have lost your identity!"

Suddenly stopped, Han Wanxin looked aggrieved, and said: "Although the matter is not serious, it is a blatant provocation! Grandmother, that Concubine Fang Gui is going too far, she compares everything with me, and now even clothes Do you want to go above me? What do you want me, the queen, to do, just leave it to her!"

"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager thumped the ground with her cane, and said displeasedly, "You are a queen, and your identity cannot be changed. How can you say such angry words!"

Standing in place, Han Wanxin looked like a child whose doll had been robbed, and choked out, "Isn't it? The emperor doesn't care about me, and even those concubines dare to climb on top of me to show off." Fu, you don’t pay attention to me at all. I am under the enemy’s back now, and I am dead in name only! Woooo—”

Seeing Han Wanxin crying, the Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable.She watched Wanxin grow up, so the relationship is naturally close. The Empress Dowager also knew that she was a simple and honest child, so she was chosen as the queen.Now that things have become like this, she is also heartbroken.

At this moment, Aunt Chang ran in from outside the hall, and said anxiously: "The Empress Dowager, the eldest grandson Jingrong is here."

"She came just in time, let her in!" Upon hearing the name of the grandson Jingrong, Han Wanxin scowled loudly with an angry face.

Looking at the silent empress dowager, Aunt Chang bowed and exited the palace.Not long after, the eldest grandson Jingrong followed behind Aunt Chang and walked in front of Han Wanxin.

"Minnv has seen..."

"Eldest grandson Jingrong, look at the good deeds you have done!"

Ever since she first met Aunt Chang, Changsun Jingrong felt that something must have happened, and seeing Dahan Wanxin's furious side now, she confirmed this idea even more in her heart.

Kneeling down in front of Han Wanxin, the eldest grandson Jingrong asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what crime I have committed, so please tell me clearly!"

Standing aggressively in front of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Han Wanxin asked, "Quickly tell the truth, did you also sell the fancy clothes to Concubine Fang Gui?"

The eldest grandson Jingrong was very surprised when he heard it, looked up at Han Wanxin, shook his head and said, "What is the empress talking about? The civilian girl can't understand."

"Don't understand? Then I'll have a good talk with you!" Han Wanxin sneered, and then said: "I saw Concubine Fang Gui today. She was very upset and said that she got a master embroidery. Give her I made a unique costume, and I wanted to wear it on Wan’an Eve, overwhelming the audience. I was so angry at the time, thinking that her shabby clothes could still be compared with Ben Gong’s? So I asked her to show it to me Look. But this is really unexpected! Concubine Fang Gui's hand is exactly the same as the one you gave me, and the pattern on it is even richer than the one you sewed. At that time, Concubine Fang Gui Asking me what the fine clothes look like, I didn’t know what to say, so I left in a hurry, now that I think about it, it’s really embarrassing! Grandson Jingrong, this is all your fault!”

After hearing Han Wanxin's accusation, Changsun Jingrong's mind went blank for a moment, but soon she calmed down, and she quickly recalled in her mind whether she had been negligent during these days, which would be of great concern to others. Take the opportunity.

But after thinking about it carefully in his mind, Changsun Jingrong felt that it was impossible for the people around him to get close to that fancy dress.Because in the other courtyard, someone has been guarding her room, and no one can enter without her permission.As for the person to guard the yard, she selected it herself. She is confident that that person will not betray her.As for the rest, only the people in the imperial palace have seen that gorgeous dress.But in this situation, Changsun Jingrong has no way to express his doubts, otherwise he will be considered as shirking responsibility.

"Hmph, you are running out of words, right? Changsun Jingrong, the loss-making palace believes in you so much, and this is how you repay me? It seems that I won't give you something..."

"Please give the empress dowager and empress one more chance to atone for the crime!"

Before Han Wanxin finished speaking, Changsun Jingrong lay down on the ground and spoke loudly.

Hearing this, Han Wanxin sneered, and asked, "There are still ten days until Wan'an's Eve, do you think you can make better costumes in such a short period of time?"

"Minnv will try her best!"

"I don't have time to wait for you to try!" Han Wanxin waved her hand impatiently, intending to ask the palace maid to drag the eldest grandson Jingrong out. She doesn't want to look at this woman for a moment now.
