Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 34

Jiang Ling was lying in Xiao Chengyun's arms, with her half back facing Emperor Chongming who was sitting at the top, and she happened to be able to see Concubine Li's face through Xiao Shengyun's shoulder.

Seeing that Concubine Li was about to be unable to maintain the gentle expression on her face, Jiang Ling frowned. He heard from Xiao Shengyun that Emperor Chongming already knew about Concubine Li's participation in this matter. .

She made it clear that she wanted to protect Concubine Li.

Jiang Ling didn't want to just let it go, if Concubine Li succeeded in her scheme and the crown prince alienated him, who would pay him for his dragon spirit?

Xiao Shengyun put his arms around someone to comfort him. When Emperor Chongming saw him, he thought it was Jiang Ling who had been wronged. The first time I saw him, he was always lively. Today, he is so sluggish, he should really feel aggrieved.

"It's true that Concubine Li did something wrong. She was banned for one month to imitate everyone else. As for the Zheng family, although they were unsuccessful, they tried to intervene in royal affairs and fined them half a year." Emperor Chongming ordered Li Concubine, The crime of the Zheng family.

"Your Majesty..." If it wasn't for the help from the servants nearby, Concubine Li would almost fall to the ground.

She looked at Emperor Chongming in disbelief, and didn't understand why the other party was so ruthless. It's not like nothing like this happened before. Emperor Chongming always stood by her side, no matter how solid the crown prince's evidence was. If the Zheng family committed a crime, as long as she cried and complained, minor crimes would be lightly exposed.

If it wasn't for Emperor Chongming's partiality and connivance, how could she have had delusions about that position and put it into practice.

The punishment given by Emperor Chongming was not heavy, but it showed his attitude of no longer unconditionally favoring Concubine Li and the Seventh Prince. Perhaps he had never expected it. Xiao Shengyun was quite surprised by the result this time.

Jiang Ling was not very satisfied. After reading the original book, he knew that the emperor feared the prince more than anything else. If the prince hadn't been excellent and had illustrious military exploits, it would be difficult for Emperor Chongming to abolish the prince clearly. The position may have changed hands early.

"Your Highness, isn't the emperor's punishment too light?" Jiang Ling whispered in the prince's ear.

Xiao Shengyun patted him on the back: "Go back and talk."

Concubine Li was forcibly sent back to her palace and grounded. Emperor Chongming didn't save any face for her.

"Xiaoling has been wronged, I know, what Xiaoling wants, if you ask, I will satisfy you." After dismissing one, Emperor Chongming comforted the other.

Jiang Ling raised her head from Xiao Chengyun's arms, her eyes were a little red: "Thank you, Royal Father, I don't want anything, I am very satisfied to be with His Highness."

What a contented child, among the sons of Emperor Chongming, there is no one who is so sensible, caring and simple like Jiang Ling.

Emperor Chongming didn't dispose of the Zheng family at first, just like before, he wanted to use this to suppress the crown prince's limelight. Now he realized that it was Jiang Ling who attacked Concubine Li and the Zheng family. He was in the royal family, and he knew it better than anyone else. Once Li Fei's plan succeeds, what a terrible end it will bring to Jiang Ling.

"I know that you are a good one. I just got a piece of good jade recently. You can play with it."

One side punishes, the other side rewards, the attitude of Emperor Chongming is obvious.

The small banquet continued. After this incident, no one in the palace dared to underestimate Jiang Ling. She was the one who could shake even Concubine Li, who was most favored by Emperor Chongming. Who would dare to underestimate her?

"The empress is really lucky. The glimmer of life she asked for from Master Qianwu really brought such a big turning point to the prince's line." After the banquet, Concubine Lin returned to her palace with the support of the palace servants.

"I don't know if the news about Concubine Li and the Zheng family is still in the mood to continue holding the stone feast?" The third prince played with the jade cup in his hand, his eyes playful.

"After this incident, Concubine Li and the seventh prince will only hate the prince more and more. Don't meddle in their affairs. It's not a good time to end now." Concubine Lin Gui gave the third prince a warning look, "I heard You have recently gotten close to the concubine of Jiang Shangshu's family, just a concubine, is it worth your trouble?"

The third prince: "Mother and concubine don't know, the Jiang family is very interesting, besides, Jiang Shangshu's concubine seems to be very unusual to the princess."

Concubine Lin Gui: "It's good that you know what's in your mind."

The third prince: "Mother and concubine just came back from Jingming Palace, do you know what kind of birthday gift the crown prince gave the queen?"

Concubine Lin was puzzled: "Why are you asking this? The prince's gifts are similar to those in previous years. They are all precious, but the prince's concubine sent a lot of small things that are not eye-catching, flowers grown by myself, some small snacks and so on. .”

"The princess is really unique." The third prince half sighed.

"No, your father doesn't know what happened to him, so he treats this princess with special eyes," Lin Guifei smiled sarcastically, "Perhaps people who play tricks have this problem, and they like simple-minded people, such as before. Concubine Li, compared to the current Crown Princess, even the Crown Prince who has always sneered at beauty, loves him even more."

"Mother concubine said so, and my son became more and more curious. Unfortunately, the prince's guardian is tight and he can't find a chance to get close."

"With his simple nature, without the protection of the prince, queen and others, there will be no bones left that would be easily eaten in such a huge palace."

Jingming Palace.

Emperor Chongming stayed until the small banquet was over, and it was getting late, so he simply stayed overnight.

During this time, Emperor Chongming often stayed in Jingming Palace, and the queen was not surprised, so she ordered Jin Zhu to arrange the flowers and plants that Jiang Ling sent.

"This flower is well-raised." Emperor Chongming walked to a flower, "The flower is bigger than other people's."

"Xiaoling said they planted them together with the crown prince, so they sent some that are growing well. If your majesty likes them, you can take some back and put them there. It looks like you're in a good mood." The queen said in a gentle tone.

Knowing that the queen likes Jiang Ling, the princess, Jin Zhu ordered the palace staff to place the flowers in a conspicuous place. These flowers grow well and bloom beautifully. They are placed everywhere in the palace, making the palace look more lively.

"Xiaoling has a lot of hobbies." Emperor Chongming leaned over and sniffed the fragrance of flowers, "but he is young and lively, but I don't know why he thought of complaining to me today."

The empress's heart twitched, knowing that the emperor would not let go of her suspicions easily, she explained calmly: "Xiaoling had a bad life at home in the past, and no one cared for her. Feeling that His Majesty treats him well, she must have trust in her heart. When encountering grievances , will inevitably ask His Majesty for help."

"That's right. I heard that when he was a few years old, his parents were gone. He was a poor child. Fortunately, now that he has entered the palace, he will not be wronged easily." Emperor Chongming embraced the queen.

The queen leaned on his shoulder meekly: "Yes, with Your Majesty here, he won't be afraid of being bullied again in the future."

Emperor Chongming was in a good mood, and ordered Eunuch Qian to send a lot of good things to the East Palace.

Every time Jiang Ling came back from Jingren Palace, Jiang Ling would bring back a lot of things, mainly his favorite food, Xiao Shengyun looked at the palace servants who were following behind holding brocade boxes, and it was no surprise.

"Your Highness, this is for you." Jiang Ling picked out the most beautiful piece of jade from all the rewards, and handed it to the crown prince.

The good jade praised by the emperor himself is impeccable both in appearance and rarity.

This piece of jade is very big, warm to the touch, white all over, shiny and transparent, if you are a lover of jade, you will be ecstatic when you get it, Xiao Shengyun remembered that King Li once deliberately begged for this piece of jade from Emperor Chongming.

Xiao Shengyun took the jade: "Gu people make a pair of jade pendants, how about Ling'er and Gu Yiren's half?"

Jiang Ling had no objection. The clothes and accessories on his body were all bought after he came to the East Palace. The crown prince cared about him and understood him. He only knew which clothes were the most comfortable to wear and which ones looked the best.

The latter conclusion comes from Xiao Shengyun.

"Just now when I was with the Queen Mother, Your Highness didn't let me tell because he was afraid that the Emperor would hear it?" Jiang Ling still hasn't forgotten what happened in Jingming Palace.

"Yes, how could Ling'er think of complaining directly to Emperor Father?" Not only Xiao Shengyun, but probably no one would have thought that Jiang Ling was so courageous.

"Whoever asked him to punish Concubine Li and the Zheng family has no intention at all." Jiang Ling snorted softly. During the small banquet, the most obvious malice he felt came from Concubine Li. Of course Ling would not have a good impression of her.

Today, Emperor Chongming punished Concubine Li and the Zheng family. Although it was not severe, it would have a certain impact on the direction of the court. The officials who worked for Xiao Shengyun came to ask for an interview after receiving the news. They needed to do what was best for the prince based on this matter. layout.

Xiao Shengyun asked Jiang Ling if he wanted to go with him, but Jiang Ling was not interested, he was obsessed with reading scripts recently.

"Your Highness needs to learn to be independent. Go by yourself. I'll read the script and wait for Your Highness to come back."

Xiao Chengyun pinched his face: "Gu is obviously worried that you will be bored in the bedroom alone."

"I'm not bored..."

Ever since she read the storybook of the fox demon, Jiang Ling opened the door to a new world. Under Changshun's introduction, she bought a lot of storybooks and read them every day in her spare time.

After news of Concubine Li and the Zheng family being punished got out, the direction of Chao Zhongfeng changed subtly, and after hitting a wall with Meng Shangshu again, King Li was so angry that he smashed his glass.

The fact that Concubine Li wanted to hire Meng Shangshu's daughter as Li Wang's concubine was disclosed to Meng Shangshu by someone. Since then, Meng Shangshu's attitude towards Li Wang has changed from being normal at the beginning to a little evasive. No matter what it is, push it if you can.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said, please stay calm and don't be caught by the prince's people." The confidant persuaded from the side.

"This king knows," Li Wang suppressed his anger, "Have all the invitations been sent out?"

"It has been sent."

"Very good, don't you want to see this king joke? This king will not let them do what they want."

The stone appreciation banquet was held as scheduled.

The Stone Appreciation Banquet was held in the auction house. In the evening, there will be an annual large-scale auction, and [-]% of the profits from the auction will be donated to the imperial court.

Jiang Ling and Xiao Shengyun came to the auction house together. The auction house was very lively and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

As the crown prince, Xiao Shengyun has a special private room here, and King Li came out to greet him in person.

Li Wang is a person who loves jade, and he saw the jade pendant hanging around Xiao Shengyun's waist at a glance. The material was exactly the same as the one he asked for from Emperor Chongming but didn't get it.

Noticing his gaze, Xiao Shengyun stroked the jade pendant on his waist: "Seventh Brother is looking at this?"

"Yes, Brother Huang, this piece of jade..."

"Father gave it to Ling'er, and Ling'er gave it to Gu." Xiao Shengyun let go of the jade pendant and took Jiang Ling's hand. "Gu likes it very much."

For some reason, Li Wang seemed to hear a hint of showing off.
