The hot wind blows, and the hanging yarn beside the pavilion flutters gently.
Shen Dingzhu took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She shook her head slowly: "I don't know who Jing Yi is looking for. He didn't tell me. I only know that he told me that Wei Wan cheated on him. What's the real truth?" The person who saved his life was not Wei Wan."
When Feng Jing heard this, a cold laugh escaped from his lips.
"I told him a long time ago, but he didn't believe it."
I don't know if it was Shen Dingzhu's misunderstanding, but she actually felt a hint of pity for Jing Yi from Feng Jing's words.
Before she could think about it, Feng Jing tilted his head and warned her coldly.
"Jing Yi spared your life. For his sake, I will spare you this time. However, by the first day of next month, if you can't stop the regent from sending people to study gunpowder, I will have to use my own This method will make you both perish together."
As he said that, the coldness on the young man's face turned into a narrow and teasing smile: "Letting the regent be buried with you can be regarded as revenge for you."
Shen Dingzhu was silent, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he was filled with content.
Although this Feng Jing is young, he behaves in a disorganized manner, and it is difficult to figure out his thoughts. He is so uncertain, and it is hard to imagine how much he suffered when he was young.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the curtain being raised. She looked up and saw Feng Jing with his hands behind his hands, his expression relaxed and ready to leave.
The servants of the Wei Mansion who were standing nearby hurriedly came up to greet them: "Your Majesty, you are not going to sit down anymore? There will be delicacies in a while. The prince specially hired a chef from another county. He also wants your Majesty to taste different flavors."
Feng Jing smiled, and his brown-black pupils seemed to be overflowing with light, as clear as a boy.
"I just got along very happily with Sister Azhu. I heard from her that she remembered that she had a glazed lamp when she was young. I remembered that there was one in the palace. I will go back and send someone to bring the lamp to her."
After saying that, Feng Jing turned around and looked at Shen Dingzhu, who was standing outside the pavilion.
He raised his lips slightly and said, "Sister, wait for me."
The surrounding servants all showed understanding expressions, thinking that this stunning beauty was indeed the prince's trump card. No, after just getting along with her for a while, the emperor was about to give her the only two remaining glazed lamps.
Everyone was happy, but Shen Dingzhu's heart sank. She knew that this was a secret warning from Feng Jing to her not to forget about business.
Fortunately, there was only a gentle smile on Shen Dingzhu's soft and beautiful face.
"Okay." Her voice was charming and gentle, making people feel soft.
Feng Jing smiled, shook his folding fan all the way, and strode away with the people.
After a while, the regent came from the direction of the door. It seemed that he had already seen off the emperor.
The singers and dancers had all dispersed, and Shen Dingzhu was sitting on a stone under the tree to enjoy the cool air. The beauty's white-skinned hands held a purple silk handkerchief and gently fanned the wind.
Probably because it was too hot, she frowned, her delicate white and bright face showing the tender red caused by the heat.
Although Shen Dingzhu didn't say anything, just sitting there was a beautiful painting of its own.
The scorching sun, the shade of trees, the bustling courtyard, and the beautiful lady sitting on the stone.
There are countless beautiful concubines in the Regent's palace, but none of them can compare with Shen Dingzhu.
The moment he arrived, he felt regretful in his heart. If he hadn't used Shen Dingzhu to arouse Feng Jing's love and let the two monarchs start a war for her, he would have enjoyed such a beauty by himself!
"Azhu." The regent calmed down his thoughts, put on a kind smile, and walked quickly towards her.
"Father." Shen Dingzhu stood up and gave a slight blessing.
She saw a rare smile appear on the face of the regent. It must have been when Feng Jing left just now that she saw hope.
Regent: "Azhu, I just heard from the emperor that he will give you the two glazed lamps in the palace. You know, those were the lamps that the emperor loved to play with most when he was alive. You can get this blessing." , I will definitely fly up the branches and become a phoenix in the future.”
Shen Dingzhu smiled brightly, pretending to be surprised and shy: "It all depends on the care of my adoptive father."
The regent's voice suddenly changed: "However, the emperor said that he wanted to take you back to the palace, why did you refuse?"
Shen Dingzhu's fingertips holding the handkerchief under his sleeve became stiff.
This Feng Jing! He actually stood up to her.
It must be that he wants to act stupid, as if he loves beauty but is also confused by her.
But he couldn't explain why he liked it so much but wouldn't take it back to the palace for the time being, so he threw this problem to Shen Dingzhu.
Facing the regent's probing eyes, Shen Dingzhu just paused, then pursed her red lips and turned sideways in embarrassment.
"Father!" She said in a sweet voice, with a bit of resentment, and then muttered, "Sometimes, I have to hang on to the other person so that he will always feel good about me. Otherwise, he will eat the meat in his mouth all at once. At that time, I felt It smells so good that I won’t think about it afterwards.”
"Besides, my adoptive father knows about me, and I am a married person. Although the Emperor said he doesn't mind just now, if I don't use any means, I'm afraid the Emperor will forget about me after a while."
The regent's eyes lit up, he pointed at Shen Dingzhu, smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, very good, Azhu, you are born to be a beauty. You don't need my teaching on these things. You actually understand a man's mind so thoroughly. No wonder..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Shen Dingzhu pretended to be puzzled and blinked her thick eyelashes: "What's the wonder?"
The regent laughed dryly and took back his hand: "No wonder my adoptive father feels that he is attracted to you. Azhu, if you become the palace concubine, my adoptive father will have someone to rely on."
Shen Dingzhu sneered in his heart.
He just wanted to mention Xiao Langyan, but he stopped talking very quickly.
The regent was in a good mood and felt that the plan was successful, so he asked: "Azhu, tell me, whatever reward you want, my adoptive father will work hard to get it for you."
Shen Dingzhu rolled his eyes: "Anything is okay? If so, I want to move to the Jianjia courtyard in the southeast corner."
The regent was a little surprised: "Oh? Is the place where you live now not to your liking?"
Shen Dingzhu shook his head. His black hair was like a waterfall, falling on her small face like a white cloud. Her cheeks were mixed with the tender red from the steam, making her look even more attractive.
"Although the house I live in now is good, it is in Xiyuan. Now that the heat is rising, every time the sun goes down, the house feels like a steamer. I have long wanted to change it."
"Then why didn't you tell Mrs. Fish? I told her to take good care of you."
Shen Dingzhu looked like he was hesitating to speak, feeling very embarrassed.
The regent glanced at her and immediately understood something.
"Okay, then you can move to Jianjiayuan and let the maid help you pack your bags."
"Thank you, foster father." Shen Dingzhu pretended to be cheerful. The regent was very impressed and left with his hands behind his back.
Watching him leave, a quenching coldness flashed across Shen Dingzhu's eyes.
The Jianjia courtyard is not only cool, but most importantly, it is only a courtyard away from the regent's study.
For Shen Dingzhu, it is more convenient for her to pay attention to the coming and going of people.
She thought about setting fire to the study, but she was afraid that the regent, a cunning fox, would copy the secret gunpowder recipe into several copies and spread it out, and Shen Dingzhu would be too late to stop it.
While he doesn't dare to publicize it now, Shen Dingzhu must burn him to death in the study together with the secret recipe!
But if she wanted to do it without anyone noticing, she needed a chance.
In the evening, Feng Jing sent someone to bring the two glazed lamps from the palace.
It is indeed a treasure, the glass is as clear as ice, and six scenes of banquets in the fairy palace are painted on it with exquisite craftsmanship. When lamps are lit inside, you can see the brilliance flowing and dazzling.
Wan Chun and Mu Xia couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw it.
"gorgeous."
"The young lady has won the favor of the emperor, and all the slaves are happy."
Shen Dingzhu picked a grape and bit it with her soft red lips. She looked charming but a little lazy.
Probably because she was too tanned during the day and she was a little delicate, she felt dizzy.
So, what he said was a little careless: "The emperor's love is good, but how can it be considered good if only we appreciate it? You two go and hang the glazed lamp under the eaves so that everyone passing by can see it."
Wan Chun and Mu Xia were particularly surprised.
"Hanging it outside? Miss, aren't you afraid of damaging it?"
"If I break it, the emperor will make the decision for me. I'm not afraid, and you don't have to be afraid either." Shen Dingzhu smiled, got up and asked them to finish hanging the lamp and prepare water. She wanted to take a bath.
The wound on her lower back made by Feng Jing's dagger had been hurting for most of the day. She was afraid of being exposed in front of them in late spring, so she kept enduring it.
I just couldn't bear it anymore.
I still don’t know how injured I am and whether I need any medicine.
However, before Shen Dingzhu could take off his clothes, he heard a large number of people suddenly pour into the yard, and the sudden noise broke the quiet moonlit night.
"Langhozi, you are so shameless. You dare to ask for this small courtyard to live in. Don't think that I can't see that you are planning to seduce the prince. Get out of here!"
Mu Xia hurriedly ran in, her face pale: "Miss, what's wrong, Mrs. Yu has brought many people here!"
Shen Dingzhu put the gauze she had just taken off back on, and a cold mark appeared in the center of her beautiful eyebrows.
"It's really unsettling." She led her maid out to greet him.
Outside the door, the women behind Mrs. Yu all showed their teeth and claws, with ferocious faces. Shen Dingzhu glanced at them and saw that some of them were holding cages for soaking pigs.
Do you want to kill her?
