After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 293 The brighter the color, the stronger the toxicity

  At this time, Shen Mingjiao also saw Lu Jingshu. She was dressed up very beautifully today, but she was pushed out and sat alone on the far side.

  When the girls were chatting and joking, she wanted to intervene several times, but most of these people were talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She opened her mouth a few times and closed it hesitantly.

Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, and didn't know what to say for a while. Lu Jingshu was originally a flamboyant and straightforward girl, but her girlish feelings were always poetic. Because she took the prince too seriously, when she faced the queen and other ladies with outstanding etiquette and literary talents, she , then unconsciously feel a little inferior.

  She didn't mean to help out, no one else, the queen has always been tolerant, and compared to the noble girls in front of them talking about poetry, calligraphy and painting, the queen obviously prefers an innocent and straightforward girl like Lu Jingshu. But today the queen was uncharacteristically, as if she didn't notice Lu Jingshu's predicament at all.

  Obviously, Jing and Di didn't want the prince to marry Lu Jingshu, so it was naturally impossible for the queen to show closeness to Lu Jingshu.

  Seeing that the time is almost up, the Queen smiled and suggested:

   "My brother specially invited a juggling troupe into the palace. I heard that the juggling troupe is very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, you can go to Shangyin Pavilion."

  The ladies and gentlemen who were present at the scene knew that this was the beginning of the main event, and they all stood up to express their honor.

  But at this time, a court lady came to report that Princess Xiyue asked to see her.

  The queen froze for a moment, then smiled and asked people to come in.

   Not long after, Princess Xiyue walked in in a plain dress.

   She has a graceful figure, a pair of charming purple eyes that draw people's imagination, and a small face the size of a palm is charming and charming.

   All the wives met each other's eyes when they saw this, and this Princess Xiyue is pretty amazing.

Half a year ago, at the birthday banquet of Emperor Jing and Emperor, this princess Xiyue performed a dance on the spot, intending to marry the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom, and finally confessed her love to King Su on the spot. , of course it didn’t work out in the end.

  With the end of the birthday banquet, it stands to reason that the envoys of all countries should go back.

  Princess Ke Xiyue said that she admired the culture of Daxia, and she kept on holding on.

   This situation is rare. Generally, if this kind of door-to-door marriage fails, they will never get entangled. After all, no matter how small the country is, the only ones who can be sent to marry each other are princes and princesses, so naturally it takes face.

  But since she said that, as the suzerain country, in order to show generosity, Jing and Emperor can't just drive people away, right?

  At this time, everyone saw this scene, what else did they not understand! Princess Xiyue wanted to marry into the East Palace.

  Princess Xiyue stepped forward and bowed to the first queen, Yingying: "My daughter respectfully wishes the queen's empress Xuanhua to be beautiful, and her eyebrows to be beautiful."

  The queen smiled and waved her hands: "Princess Xiyue, you are welcome, please sit down."

  Princess Xiyue was supported by the maid to stand up straight, and then took an exquisite brocade box from the hand of the maid:

   "This is a strange stone that my courtier got by chance. I gave it to the empress today. I hope the empress will not dislike it."

   After speaking, he opened the brocade box and saw a fist-sized stone inside. The stone is red in the middle, and its shape is very similar to a peony flower. This is nothing, the most unusual thing is. The stone was actually shining. Against the background of the brocade box, the peony is in the shape of a red demon.

  The noble lady who was close couldn't help being amazed. The queen took the stone and touched it curiously: "Princess Xiyue has a heart."

  Princess Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's as long as the empress likes it."

  Shen Mingjiao leaned over and looked curiously, but she didn't see any artificial traces. She glanced at the pretty Princess Xiyue. If it weren't for chance, it would not be easy to find such a stone.

  It's just... Looking at the red color of this gorgeous Yaoye, for some reason, Shen Mingjiao thought of a poisonous mushroom that she saw on Peach Blossom Island.

  At that time, I heard from Cuihua that the more colorful the mushrooms on the island, the more poisonous they are.

  She looked away, these were just her guesses, and she could inform the emperor's wife after the banquet.

  …

  A group of people followed the queen to Changyin Pavilion, which is adjacent to the Imperial Garden and is a pavilion in the palace specially used for listening to operas.

  Everyone was seated, and the steward of the Palace Music Square stepped forward and handed over the list of programs to be performed today.

   These queens have been seen in advance, she just glanced casually, "Let them begin!"

   Soon, the silk and bamboo sounded, and a dancer danced lightly.

   Not long after, Jing and the emperor led the prince over with a shrill "Your Majesty is here".

  Shen Mingjiao stood up with the crowd, and when she looked up, she saw Jing and the emperor walking in front of the empress, with the prince behind.

  Her gaze stayed on a man with a dusty temperament beside Jing and Di. The man is about forty, with a handsome appearance. At first glance, the prince's appearance was almost 70% to 80% similar to him.

   However, the temperament of the two is very different. The prince has a gentle temperament. But this man gave people a sense of aloofness, he was the elder brother of the empress, and now the uncle of the country, Wei Che. It is said that Uncle Wei Guo likes calligraphy and painting, and travels abroad all the year round.

  Jing and the emperor sat down beside the queen, and after saying a few words, they led Wei Che to play chess in the hall, but left the prince behind.

  Since the prince appeared, Lu Jingshu's eyes have been fixed on the prince. You Qi saw that the prince actually put on the clothes that she asked Shen Mingjiao to design specially. She jumped from one star to another very fast, and the aggrievedness of being squeezed out by all the noble girls disappeared.

  The prince felt something, turned his head and looked back, and the two of them just looked at each other like no one else.

  The queen, who had been paying attention to the prince, sighed secretly when she saw this.

  If Lu Jingshu is not the daughter of General Lu, she actually thinks that they are a good match. But since His Majesty intends to give up Qi Yu, he will train Shuo'er as the crown prince. The status of Qi Yu's wife must not be too high.

   Otherwise, when Shuoer ascends the throne in the future, Qi Yu, the ex-prince's Yue family, would be fine if he was peaceful, but if he was unwilling, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the court. And General Lu held the military power, so Jing and Di would not agree to their marriage anyway.

  She smiled and said to the noble ladies next to her: "The weather is good today, and the winter jasmine flowers in the imperial garden are blooming. If the girls feel bored, you can go and enjoy the scenery."

   All the noble ladies present heard the strings and knew the elegance, and those who had the intention stood up one after another.

  Shen Mingjiao subconsciously glanced at a noble lady in pink clothes walking in the middle of the crowd. She was the daughter of the young minister of the Sipin Taipu Temple, and behind her was an ordinary-looking maid who was Su Qing in disguise.

   When the people were almost gone, the queen turned to the prince again and said, "This place is full of female relatives. If you think about it, you won't feel comfortable staying here. Why don't you go out for a walk?"

  The prince was stunned for a moment, bitterness appeared in his eyes, but in the end he did not refuse, but stood up silently.

  The queen felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.

  But she has always believed in Jing and Emperor, since His Majesty made such a decision, there must be his reasons.

  As soon as the dance was over, a musician holding a guzheng came to the stage. Seeing Shen Mingjiao peeling sunflower seeds boredly, the queen suggested with a smile:

   "Siblings, why don't you go out for a walk, and help the emperor's sister-in-law pay attention to these girls by the way."

  After Jiang Xueru's incident at the last New Year's banquet, she was really scared, afraid that something bad would happen again.

   Not long after the year, the appointment of the prime minister, which had been passed down from top to bottom in the court for a long time, was finally finalized, and this candidate was not Mr. Jiang, who was making a lot of noise in the previous rumors, but Mr. Xu Ling, the minister. It is conceivable how Mr. Jiang, who lost the election, was not angry and depressed.

   Because of this, Jiang Xueru has never stopped since she entered the East Palace. Except for that annual banquet, the prince never set foot in Jiang Xueru's yard again, and he seemed determined to bid farewell to the past and start anew with Lu Jingshu.

  Shen Mingjiao understood the meaning of the queen's words, she nodded, stood up, and walked towards the imperial garden outside the hall.

  After walking away for a while, a young **** came to report that the prince was in the Bishui Pavilion at this time, and Su Qing had already quietly rushed over.

  Shen Mingjiao asked someone to reward the little **** with a certain amount of money, and waved him down.

  Because it is in the palace, it is naturally not good for people to follow Su Qing secretly. Just to be on the safe side. Shen Mingjiao found a young **** who was specialized in this field to watch secretly.

   Haitang squeezed her fist: "How about the girl go tell the empress?"

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "No need."

  It is impossible for Jing and Di not to know about Su Qing's entry into the palace. Since he didn't intervene to stop him, then he should not rashly cause trouble.

  At this time, Lu Jingshu happened to pass by several people.

  When Lu Jingshu saw Shen Mingjiao, she hurriedly stopped, and happily saluted Shen Mingjiao. "Princess Su, where are you going?"

   "Walk around, how about you?"

  Seeing the bright and expectant smile on the little girl's face, she smiled knowingly: "To see the prince?"

  Lu Jingshu nodded unabashedly: "Where did I see him go just now?"

  Seeing the flamboyance of her eyebrows and eyes, Shen Mingjiao finally couldn't bear it, and said casually: "Just now I heard from a passing court lady that the crown prince went to the Bishui Pavilion, and I happen to be going there to pick some flowers and plants, why don't we go together."

  Lu Jingshu laughed happily when she heard the words, "Okay. I've been looking for him for a long time." She said while urging Shen Mingjiao: "Princess, let's go, or we won't be able to pick good-looking flowers."

  Shen Mingjiao glanced at her, the eyes were a little strange, but Lu Jingshu was full of princes at this time, so naturally she didn't care about it.
