Chapter 168 Turning Point (1)
After hearing what the Eighth Prince said, Jiang Susu was shaking. At first, she was still secretly happy and was now replaced by hatred that hurt her bones. She never had such a moment of jealousy as she was in front of her, and she was crazy jealous! Why did Jiang Ruan take away her identity as the eldest daughter and her sweetheart? Why!
Jiang Ruan looked at Xuan Li lightly. Since her rebirth, she was like a fly that had eaten in her stomach. She could always avoid it. This was the first time she was so close to him. There was no trace of ease in his eyes, but the words he said were so beautiful and sincere. In a trance, he returned to his previous life. Ning Shuigu's peach blossoms were blooming pink and passionate. She didn't know how to deal with it. Xuan Li stood under the peach blossoms and looked at her smiling tenderly and considerately. He said: "Ruan'er, I really like you."
I really like you, how beautiful it is. He only said he liked you, but he didn't ask for marriage. He said he couldn't give her a title, so she believed her and cared about her difficulties. In her previous life, how much she hoped that she could hear Xuan Li with her own ears: "Would you like to be my wife?"
In order to become her wife and to be worthy of his love, she felt wronged that she had entered the murderous palace instead of Jiang Susu, and was abused, insulted, ridiculed, and trampled into the dust.
How could he turn a blind eye? When he took advantage of her and declared that she was a witch in the disaster, and when he saw her fall in a mess in the hall, he remembered the words in Ningshui Valley and under the peach tree that day: "Ruan'er, I really like you."
In this life, she finally heard the sentence: "Do you want to be my wife?", but so what, she no longer cares about it.
Xuan Li looked at Jiang Ruan, and he was confident. Jiang Ruan was not favored by her father since she was a child, and her mother died early. She lived in the village for five years. As long as someone treats her a little bit better, she will be loved by her gratefully. It is easy to touch her heart.
But as he looked at Jiang Ruan, his smile suddenly froze.
What kind of eyes are they? They are as beautiful as the clear springs in the mountain stream, but they are as desolate as black poppy blooming in a barren land. The emotions surging in the eyes are intense and calm. It is not admiration and touching, nor does it belong to any kind of joy. It is not love, it is hatred.
Xuan Li was stunned. He read it right. It was hatred, as if hatred was in the bones, wishing to swallow his flesh and drink his blood. And there was a kind of disgust in the hatred, as if he was some rotten thing.
His expression slowly froze. Why?
Under such a strong and complex gaze of love and hate, Xuan Li's mind was a blank blank, as if he didn't know how to face it next. Facing Jiang Ruan's gaze, a faint fear arose in his heart.
why is that?
He tried his best to figure it out, and then he saw the young girl in front of him suddenly sneer at him and said with a faint mockery: "I, no, I want to."
Jiang Ruan raised her chin proudly, her tone was clearly humble, but her expression seemed to be a high-ranking princess: "I thank your highness for your good intentions, but my daughter is not here. Your highness's words made me frightened, and I really dare not rush to the top." After that, he leaned down and kowtowed to the emperor: "I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
No matter how much Xuan Li said she was in love, she was actually a heart that was as unmoving as iron.
The smile on Concubine Chen's face became deeper, and the light in her eyes changed, and she looked unanimous at all.
Although the emperor was angry that Jiang Ruan was so ignorant of his behavior, he could not force Jiang Ruan to agree to Xuan Li in front of all civil and military officials. He waved his hand irritably: "Since that's the case, you and Lao Ba are not destined to be together."
Xuan Li's face was a little bad. He didn't expect that today's confident things would be lost by Jiang Ruan's cold and hard words. He looked at Jiang Ruan inquiry, but he really didn't understand why Jiang Ruan refused him without thinking, and his expression was not relaxed at all. Why did he show such hatred for him? If it were just for Jiang Susu, why did he hate so deeply?
Jiang Ruan saw Xuan Li's expression in his eyes and sneered silently. In this life, he still used the same means as in the previous life, hoping to buy her heart and let her do things for him. There is no such cheap thing in the world. Does Xuan Li think that he is willing to deceive others, so others should be grateful to him?
Mo Cong shook his head, and said in a very regretful tone: "This eighth prince is so romantic, but unfortunately he met the poisonous Jiang family... Miss. He is destined to be ignored."
Xiao Shao looked at Jiang Ruan faintly. The martial arts practitioners had good eyesight. Just now, Jiang Ruan looked at Xuan Li clearly. There was no trace of love inside, and the hatred made people wonder. How could she hate Xuan Li so much? There was a moment that made people feel that she was almost disappearing, as if she did not belong to this world.
After suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Shao suddenly frowned. Years of intuition made him sensitively notice something was wrong in the air. He gently pressed the dagger on his waist - ministers were not allowed to carry weapons during the palace banquet, and he was an exception. The emperor made an exception and allowed him to carry them.
Xuan Li bowed to Jiang Ruan and returned to his seat with regret. His sad appearance made the women in the palace feel deeply distressed. While glad that Jiang Ruan did not accept Xuan Li, he secretly hated Jiang Ruan for being ungrateful and actually made such a god-like figure sad.
Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi smiled slightly. After this, the emperor's interest was disturbed a lot. He waved his hand and said, "Have a banquet."
The palace maids of Bucai came in one after another, holding a tray in their hands. The leading palace maids were slim in shape and beautiful in their eyes. They were dressed differently from other palace maids. Behind them, two other palace maids with different clothes walked towards the emperor with trays in their hands. One stood there, and the other two began to pour wine for the emperor and the queen.
The palace maid next to the queen took out silver chopsticks to dip it in wine. The leading palace maid was pouring wine. As soon as she lifted the wine pot, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from under the white cloth and stabbed it hard at the emperor's chest.
With a "slap", a strong wind mixed with something came, knocking the palace maid's dagger to the point of being fatal. It turned out to be a golden button.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Shao flew up and rushed towards the emperor. Guan Lianghan paused and slapped the table and stood up. The women around him had never seen this situation before, and they all screamed in surprise. The palace maids in pink were shocked again, and several suddenly flew up, pulling out the soft sword hidden at their waists and heading straight towards the emperor's face.
"Dog Emperor, come and take your time!" the women shouted.
He actually got mixed up with the palace maids he served!
There were at least a few hundred palace maids serving the palace banquet today. After such chaos, the palace was in chaos. The emperor was shocked and the guards said desperately: "Protect the car! Protect the car!"
