Chapter 128 The childhood sweetheart who deceived the feelings of the sinister official (16)
Xiao Ji caught a glimpse of the heartless little thing in front of him.
The first moment I saw him, my eyes lit up slightly and I felt my heart was struck all of a sudden, he was so cute.
But when he thought of his current identity, he immediately became unhappy again, and his face under the mask suddenly became gloomy.
What a heartless person! He must have forgotten him long ago and has fallen in love with the "Prince Regent" so quickly.
Come to think of it, she has been eager to marry someone else all these years, if he hadn't been controlling her every move and plotting against her in secret.
I'm afraid she would have already been married by now.
The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached and my eyes became darker.
He couldn't help thinking that even if he couldn't stop her, he would still snatch her away even if she was someone else's wife. If she was his, she would be his forever.
He would kill anyone who dared to covet his treasure.
Before Ji Chutang got close, he saw the Regent's unfriendly eyes and his heart trembled with fear.
My legs almost went limp.
Should I leave immediately? Would the regent be so displeased with her that he would put her in jail and make her eat the government's food?
He couldn't control his random thoughts, and only when the Regent came up to him did he force himself to suppress his wandering thoughts.
He bowed respectfully to the Regent and greeted him in a gentle voice.
The Regent simply replied coldly: "Yeah."
Then walk around her and away.
It seemed that he didn't take her seriously at all, and his appearance that had always been invincible seemed to have lost its advantage at this moment.
Ji Chutang was a little unwilling. It was their first meeting and he didn’t even hear a splash of water. Was he going to lose like this?
But the next moment, the regent's deep voice was heard: "Wait."
Then he turned around again.
Ji Chutang's lowered brows concealed the greedy gleam in her eyes.
She was secretly proud of herself, and she knew that no man would ignore her appearance.
But the regent said, "You don't look like a palace maid. Where are you from and what do you do?"
He spoke rudely and his words sounded like he was questioning.
Ji Chutang's teeth were about to break. Was he questioning the prisoner? Or did he think she was an assassin?
But in front of the powerful, Ji Chutang did not dare to act rashly. He could only lower his head slightly and answer the other party with a forced smile:
"I am the legitimate daughter of Ji Hong, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. I am here to attend the flower viewing banquet at the order of the Concubine Shu."
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not seem frightened, but he was not absolutely calm either.
It was like forcing himself to suppress his anxiety.
The Regent was silent for a long time and just stared at her closely, as if he still had doubts about her.
Ji Chutang could only smile on the surface, and in her heart she had already begun to curse secretly, as a regent, how could he have nothing to do? He would not let go of an innocent little woman like her.
After a long while, the regent finally said, "Let's go. I will go with you."
Then take a step forward.
Ji Chutang could only follow closely behind, and secretly rolled his eyes. Did he not believe her? Did he want to personally send her over to see if what she said was true?
The corners of Xiao Ji's mouth slightly raised under the mask, he was still the same character. When he was a child, he expressed his dissatisfaction without any concealment, and when he grew up... he expressed his dissatisfaction secretly.
The entire journey was speechless.
Ji Chutang was quietly thinking about how to get close to the Regent and successfully take the throne.
Xiao Ji was smiling secretly, his eyebrows were slightly curved, and he was in a good mood. His wife followed behind him and wanted to hug and kiss him.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the Imperial Garden.
It seems very lively at the beginning, but it is actually coming to an end. Those who need to be seen have already been seen and have made preliminary decisions. Some people just come here for fun and to see if there are any men or women they like.
Some men came for Ji Chutang. Even if they had no hope or courage to pursue her, they still wanted to take a look at their sweetheart.
Concubine Shu appeared calm on the surface, but she was very anxious inside.
The child Tangtang clearly came to the palace, but she didn't show up for a long time and was never with the child from the Wei family.
I don't know where it went.
How can one be so tactless at a time like this, or is it that one is being plotted against?
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have cared so much and would have sent a sedan chair to pick her up directly. This child has come to the palace so many times, how could something happen to her?
Concubine Shu was extremely anxious.
Ji Chutang is her eldest brother's only legitimate daughter and also her niece. If something happens to her, how will she explain to her eldest brother?
Furthermore, if something happened in the palace and a big joke was made, which would not only make her lose face, but would also affect the reputation of the prince.
How could Concubine Shu not be anxious?
He secretly sent his confidant out to look for it early in the morning, but the confidant never came back to report.
It was not until the banquet was almost over that someone reported that the Regent had come to the banquet with a young lady.
After everyone came in and confirmed that the woman next to the Regent was Ji Chutang, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately nothing happened.
The child acted on his own without sending anyone to tell her, causing her to be frightened.
Never mind, I hope nothing happened.
Concubine Shu was really calm this time, not like just now when she appeared calm on the surface but felt very uneasy inside.
But the banquet was almost over, so why did the two of them come here?
Concubine Shu also invited the Regent.
After all, the other party is also an unmarried man of marriageable age, but the difference in status often makes people overlook this point.
It was just that the Regent had not shown up yet, so she thought that the Regent did not want to come at all. Although she was a little angry, Shufei did not dare to say anything.
After all, even if she was a concubine, her status in the emperor's heart could not compare to that of the Regent.
Moreover, the regent has great power in the court.
She also wanted to win him over to help her son ascend to the throne, so how could she offend him?
However, the party was over within a few moments of arriving.
Ji Chutang was stunned. Why did the maid just now lie to her? Not only did she tell her the wrong place, but also the wrong time.
What is the intention? She hasn't found anyone trying to harm her yet.
There were one or two men who saw Ji Chutang finally appear at the banquet and wanted to come forward and talk to him.
But he suddenly noticed the regent's oppressive gaze, as if the girl in front of him was his property and he would not allow anyone to approach.
No one is allowed to challenge his authority or step into his territory without knowing the consequences.
The men who wanted to get closer could only retreat in disappointment.
After all, they didn't have the courage to step forward in front of the Regent. Even their fathers had to lower their heads and speak in front of him.
----------------
Ji Chutang: Do you suspect me of being an assassin who broke into the palace with bad intentions? You don't believe me and want to escort me personally?
Qi Jingxiao: My wife is not honest and wants to attend the blind date party. I have to watch her carefully. I don’t believe she will behave well. I have to watch her in person to ruin her idea of cheating!!!
System: Damn it, we are not together yet, stop involving my host.
