Ren Chengen narrowed his eyes dangerously as he watched the intimate interaction between Jiang Zisheng and Ren Chengze, but the fire in his heart burned brighter and brighter.
Could it be that Jiang Zisheng had been pretending to be crazy all along?
Could it be that the person she had always liked was Ren Chengze, so the two of them deliberately colluded and then wrote a letter of divorce to him?
Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain Jiang Zisheng's sudden change.
Jiang Zisheng had never been a fool. She had endured so many years of humiliation just to get rid of her engagement with him!
"Jiang Zisheng!" Ren Chengen grabbed Jiang Zisheng's collar without caring that there were people present." How dare you lie to me!”
Jiang Zisheng didn't know what was wrong with Ren Chengen, but her intuition told her that all of this had something to do with Ren Chengze!
Jiang Zisheng grabbed Ren Chengen's hand and looked angrily at Ren Chengze, who had nothing to do with her." The thing I hate the most in my life is being used.”
Ren Chengze was flustered by Jiang Zisheng's gaze and could not help but hold Ren Chengen's hand." Third Brother, today is the Empress 'birthday. Don't go too far."”
"I went overboard?" Ren Chengen suddenly let go of Jiang Zisheng and walked towards Ren Chengze. The anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by a gentle smile." Very good, very good. Jiang Zisheng, Ren Chengze, you are very good.”
Watching Ren Chengen walk away, Jiang Zisheng looked at Ren Chengze coldly." Don't you think you should explain it to me?”
Jiang Zisheng was slightly taken aback before he laughed at himself.
Yes, they were high and mighty princes. What right did she have to ask them for an explanation?
Even if Ren Chengze stabbed her heart with a knife, she would not dare to cry out the word 'pain'.
Jiang Zisheng bowed to Ren Chengze and calmly sat back in his seat, watching the song and dance casually.
Ren Chengze looked at her changing expressions and chuckled.
The guard looked at his master's mischievous smile and secretly cursed.
It was over, it was over. Not only did his master like men, but he also wanted to snatch his brother's wife.
The singing and dancing continued. Suddenly, a golden figure entered everyone's sight.
Jiang Zisheng's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
In the end, her sister could not resist the temptation and wanted to dance…
Jiang Caidie was wearing a golden dance dress, twisting her petite waist. There was also a waist drum at her waist. Her movements were bold and her posture was enchanting. Under the sun, her golden hair accessories emitted a dazzling light.
Imperial Consort Zhou and Consort Song Xian had been paying attention to Jiang Zisheng's entanglement with the two princes, but now they were even more furious when they saw Jiang Caidie dressed like a dancer.
Jiang Caidie was completely unaware of the anger of the concubines. She only knew that countless eyes were focused on her. At this moment, she was the center of attention.
Even a noble man like the Third Prince couldn't take his eyes off her.
How could Jiang Zisheng compare to her!
She was just a legitimate daughter. If she won the Third Prince's favor today, she would definitely step on Jiang Zisheng's head tomorrow and call the shots.
Jiang Caidie was swaying her hips on the stage, constantly throwing flirtatious glances, not knowing that a disaster was about to befall her.
The Empress looked at Jiang Caidie's midriff-revealing dress and a strange look flashed across her eyes.
When Emperor Ren Zong went to the Northern Desert, he was bewitched by a demoness and almost died.
Even though Emperor Renzong did not mention this matter after returning, it had clearly become a rule not to dance in the palace.
Now, not only did Jiang Caidie jump, she even dared to jump so shamelessly!
"Empress, as far as I know, any demon dancer in the palace should be beheaded.”Noble Consort Zhou gently bit on a grape, her red lips red.
The Empress took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Caidie with a dark expression. She shouted,""Stop!"
Jiang Caidie was still spinning when she heard the empress's angry shout and fell to the ground.
She hurriedly knelt down, but her body kept trembling.
Why was the Empress so angry?
"Jiang Caidie, don't you know that dancing in the palace will lead to death?”Noble Consort Zhou looked at the foolish Jiang Caidie and said casually.
Behead?
Jiang Caidie's eyes widened in horror as she kowtowed.
Jiang Zisheng looked at the smile on Noble Consort Zhou's lips and secretly cursed. Although she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Caidie, it was just as Jiang Caidie had said. They were now together for good or bad.
Jiang Caidie couldn't die, at least not now.
Jiang Zisheng was about to stand up and plead for mercy when he realized that he could not move at all.
"Don't worry, your sister won't die.”
Ren Chengze gently held Jiang Zisheng's hand and strode out." Empress, may I say something?"”
"Tell me." The empress looked at Ren Chengze and nodded lovingly.
"Your son hopes that you will forgive the Third Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence. Firstly, today is the Empress 'birthday and it is not suitable to see blood. Secondly, as the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty. Moreover, there was no explicit rule in the palace that dancing foreign dancers would cause death. Third, the Prime Minister has always worked hard and made great contributions. Empress, why don't you reduce the big matter to a small one and the small matter to a small one?”
The Empress listened to Ren Chengze's analysis and was indeed polite. Looking at Jiang Caidie's swollen forehead, she couldn't bear to say," Jiang Caidie, you'd better go and change your clothes. I'll pretend that nothing happened today."”
"Wait!" Noble Consort Zhou suddenly stood up and shouted," There are no rules. Since the Empress can't bear to punish Jiang Caidie, then as the eldest sister, Jiang Zisheng didn't teach her sister properly. Should she be punished?”
Jiang Zisheng stared blankly at Noble Consort Zhou and stood out fearlessly.
She had expected that Noble Consort Zhou would not let her off easily, but with her status as the Prime Minister's wife, even if Noble Consort Zhou wanted to punish her severely, the Empress would not agree.
The Empress looked at Noble Consort Zhou helplessly. She knew that Jiang Zisheng would not be kind after offending her today.
"As the eldest sister, Jiang Zisheng should be punished for not disciplining her step-sister well.”
Jiang Zisheng kowtowed to the Empress and said gratefully," I am willing to be punished.”
Seeing that the Empress had the intention to protect Jiang Zisheng, Noble Consort Zhou snorted coldly and said arrogantly and rudely," I'm tired of watching the singing and dancing for so long. I won't disturb Your Majesty's elegant mood. I'll return to the palace."”
After Noble Consort Zhou left, Ren Chengze did not stay any longer and left the imperial garden.
……
The banquet finally began. The entire court came to celebrate the empress's birthday. Even the princes who were far away in their fiefs had prepared generous gifts.
Jiang Zisheng and Jiang Caidie sat on either side of Jiang Bingkun, looking at the table full of delicacies and wine, each with their own thoughts.
The Emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, feeling pleased with himself. His gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Zisheng, but he didn't stop there before looking away.
Jiang Zisheng looked at the majestic Emperor and sighed in his heart. Was this the might of a dragon? Even though he was smiling, she couldn't feel any sense of closeness.
The guests were all seated, but the seat not far from the Emperor was empty.
Who was that person?
He didn't even come to the Empress 'birthday, but the Emperor still left a seat?
Jiang Zisheng couldn't help but be curious about the person who hadn't arrived yet.
There weren't many people in the Great Xuan Dynasty who didn't give face to the current Wansui.
Jiang Zisheng stared at the empty seat in a daze. He did not even come back to his senses when he toasted the Empress.
Everyone stood up, except for her, who sat in her seat in a daze.
"Vile creature, stand up!" The Prime Minister shouted.
Only then did Jiang Zisheng realize that everyone's eyes were on her. There were doubts, puzzlement, ridicule, and disdain…
Jiang Zisheng knew that he had lost his manners and quickly stood up to apologize.
Fortunately, the Empress was very satisfied with her performance in the imperial garden today and did not blame her.
"Thank you for your kindness, Empress.”As Jiang Zisheng spoke, he downed the wine in his glass and poured two more glasses.
Even an iron-blooded man would not be able to endure three glasses of strong liquor on an empty stomach, let alone a person who did not know how to drink.
After a while, Jiang Zisheng was intoxicated and started to feel dizzy. He could not see people clearly.
The Emperor laughed loudly on the dragon throne." I didn't expect Minister Jiang's daughter to be so bold and unconstrained. She doesn't lose to a man, and she doesn't lose to a man.”
"That's right. Otherwise, why would he dare to give the Third Prince a letter of divorce?”Noble Consort Zhou's face was cold, and she deliberately brought up the matter.
The Emperor's face sank and the Empress quickly changed the topic.
"When it comes to women, BenGong has heard that the daughter of the Defender General began to practice martial arts at the age of three. I wonder if BenGong is lucky enough to meet her today.”
Chu Xiao Xiao quickly stood up and cupped her fists at the Empress." It's my honor to be recognized by the Empress. I'm sorry to embarrass myself!"”
As expected, Chu Xiao Xiao did not disappoint. She unsheathed the flexible sword at her waist and performed a sword dance, winning the applause of the entire hall.
Jiang Caidie, who was standing at the side, grabbed the birds that pay homage to the phoenix tightly. She couldn't hold it in any longer.
So what if she was the legitimate daughter of the Defender General? As long as this peerless embroidery of hers was released, it would definitely be famous throughout the world.
The more Jiang Caidie looked at Chu Xiao Xiao's smug expression, the more jealous she felt.
"Empress niangniang, this subject's daughter also has a gift for Empress niangniang. This subject's daughter spent more than a month's effort to embroider this, please take a look.”
"Oh, Third Young Lady is quite thoughtful. Go and present it to BenGong.”
The Empress nodded with a smile and asked the eunuch beside her to present the embroidery.
The grand embroidery was unfolded in an uproar. The Empress's eyes widened as she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
The golden-red phoenix's head was raised high, as if it was singing in the nine heavens. It was stepping on hundreds of birds, ready to come out.
The lifelike scene made the Empress speechless for a long time. She excitedly reached out her hand to touch the newborn phoenix, but she was afraid of tarnishing it.
"Were you the one who embroidered this?”The empress's voice trembled with excitement.
Jiang Caidie had already seen the Empress's expression and was overjoyed. She secretly looked at the indifferent Jiang Zisheng and said shyly," Your Highness, it was my daughter who embroidered it."”
"Good! I'll reward you heavily!" The Empress's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.。# Review: ** Time:0914201811: 28AM #
