A Golden Carp in the Water
Jing Rong exited Fuyang Hall.
Jing Rong walked a little faster, probably because he was worried that Jing Hua would come after him.
As expected, he was stopped by Jing Hua the moment he stepped out of the outer hall.
"Just now, in front of Imperial Father, why did you stand on Jing Yi's side?"
Ridiculous!
This was the word that popped up in Jing Rong's mind.
"Crown Prince, I don't quite understand."
Jing Hua sneered. "Jing Rong, you don't need to feign ignorance in front of me. I always thought that you didn't want to fight for anything and only wanted to be the Carefree King. It seems that I underestimated you. “
Carefree King? "
Jing Rong's interest was piqued by these three words.
He smiled. "I really hope that one day, Imperial Father will bestow me the title of Carefree King. I would be happy to be free."
"Enough, if you really want to be the Carefree King, you should have not answered when Imperial Father asked you if you had a good plan." Jing Hua was furious.
After all, the situation just now was obvious. Jing Rong and Jing Yi were on the same side, while he was alone and helpless.
That won't do!
Without waiting for Jing Rong to speak, Jing Hua suddenly looked behind him. Seeing that Jing Yi had not come out yet, he grabbed Jing Rong and took a few steps to the side.
He probed, "Jing Rong, let me ask you. In the end, do you want to stand on my side or Jing Yi's side?"
Sometimes, Jing Rong would break into a cold sweat for Jing Hua's daring interrogations.
How could there be such a Crown Prince in this world?
How could he be so muddle-headed?
If he was a girl, he wouldn't be able to live past the second day in the harem.
Jing Rong reminded him with a frown, "Crown Prince, walls have ears. Some words can't be taken back once they've been spoken. You grew up in the palace, so you know better than anyone else what you should say and what you shouldn't say."
But …
"I only asked you a question. Why are you telling me all this?"
The Crown Prince still had an impatient look on his face.
Jing Rong was speechless.
Did he really have to make it clear for this idiot to understand?
"Crown Prince, I mean …"
Before he could finish, he heard Jing Yi's voice behind him.
"Could it be that the two of you are discussing about the border?"
His tone was indifferent.
Jing Yi and the ministers came out one after another.
The ministers knew that this was a matter between the princes, so they didn't get involved and quickly left.
Jing Yi walked over with a thought-provoking smile on his face.
Jing Hua rolled his eyes at him, not forgetting to grumble, "We haven't even left Fuyang Hall yet and Prince Yi is already in such a hurry to win over the officials?"
These words were filled with sarcasm!
Of course, Jing Yi wasn't one to be trifled with. He calmly said, "Crown Prince, you also know that we are still in Imperial Father's Fuyang Hall! Since you know, you should watch your mouth and not say anything that will make Imperial Father unhappy. "
"You …"
"Just now, when the Crown Prince was discussing the matter of the border, he proposed to pursue the enemy while they were victorious to prevent future troubles. Did he not notice Father's expression?"
"What do you mean?" Jing Hua asked.
Jing Yi laughed. It was ridiculous that such a person could become the Crown Prince.
He said, "Forget it, the Crown Prince should understand it himself." As he spoke, he looked at Jing Rong with a treacherous expression that could penetrate one's heart.
It was fear!
However, his expression was one of admiration. He said to Jing Rong, "I didn't know that Jing Rong had such a thorough understanding of military strategy. But, I still have to thank you for standing on my side."
These words seemed to be purposely said for the Crown Prince to hear.
He wanted to provoke the conflict between Jing Rong and Jing Hua.
However, he neglected one point. Jing Rong didn't care about the Crown Prince's position at all. What does it have to do with me?
Jing Rong's calm brows slightly lowered. He indifferently said, "I'm just discussing the matter as it stands. I'm not standing on your side. We are all brothers, why should we be so clear?"
"You're wrong." Jing Yi's sinister eyes lit up. The corners of his lips were like a pair of sharp scissors, slowly parting. "From the moment we are born, we are destined to draw a clear line between what is right and what is wrong. Regarding this, we should all have a mirror in our hearts."
As clear as day!
Clearly and clearly!
These eight words had completely overruled the familial affection!
Jing Yi swaggered away.
Jing Hua regained his composure, but he was still angry. He unwillingly said, "This Jing Yi, what ability does he have to compete with me?
"This Jing Yi, what ability does he have to compete with me? Right now, I am the Crown Prince, and in the future, I will definitely be above him. Sooner or later, I will pull him up by the roots and let him know the consequences of opposing me."
He clenched his fists.
These words were undoubtedly meant for Jing Rong to hear. It was equivalent to giving him a wake-up call.
Jing Rong felt a headache coming. He shook his head and turned to leave.
…
At this moment, Ji Yunshu had already come out of Concubine Xiao's palace.
Her cold expression didn't change much from when she entered, but the corners of her lips held a trace of a smile that no one could detect.
It penetrated into people's souls and made them feel cold.
Step by step, she walked towards the south gate. Her eyes didn't tilt even an inch as she stared straight ahead.
A strong gust of wind blew in the palace, causing her robe and long black hair to flutter in all directions.
It was like a treacherous palace, an untouchable scenery.
In her mind, the conversation she had with Concubine Xiao replayed.
"Does Teacher like this painting?" Concubine Xiao's long and slender eyes were tinged with a hint of success.
She felt that this painting would definitely move Ji Yunshu.
Unfortunately …
"Teacher Bai's painting can be said to be absolutely beautiful. Future generations will fight to collect it. It's a pity that this commoner drifts outside without a place to live. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a day when I will have to sleep outside. With such a precious painting by my side, no matter how much this commoner cherishes it, I'm afraid that it will be damaged. It's safer to keep it in the palace."
This reason made it impossible for Concubine Xiao to continue being so attentive.
The hint of success in the corner of her eyes immediately disappeared.
She smiled stiffly. "Teacher's cleverness, this Empress has learned!"
"Your Ladyship's words are too serious."
Concubine Xiao finally got up from the chaise longue and walked in front of Ji Yunshu in her golden embroidered shoes.
Ji Yunshu also got up and stood with the posture of a courtier.
Concubine Xiao lowered her voice and suddenly asked Ji Yunshu a question.
"In Teacher's opinion, between the one that walks on the ground and the one that flies in the sky, which one is more advantageous?"
Between Jing Rong and Jing Yi, which one should she choose?
This was similar to Jing Hua asking Jing Rong, between him and Jing Yi, which one should she choose!
At that time, Ji Yunshu only replied with one sentence, "Then, what does Her Ladyship think a golden carp will choose?"
Recalling Concubine Xiao's expression at that time, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh.
The women in the imperial harem were too calculative. Scheming, scheming, scheming. In the end, their hair would turn white for the rest of their lives!
When Ji Yunshu asked to leave, Jing Xuan wanted to chase after her, but Concubine Xiao pulled her back.
Jing Xuan called out "Teacher Ji" several times, but Ji Yunshu didn't look back.
At this time, she had already reached the south gate. Jing Rong hadn't arrived yet, so she boarded the carriage first.
"Let's go!" she said to the coachman.
The coachman replied, "His Highness hasn't come out yet."
"We're not waiting!"
"Then, are we going back to the Rong Estate?"
