The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 9: My Heart Delights Xu Rongrong

The Changxinghou family is shameless. The mother and son stared at Xu Rongrong, not hiding their calculations at all.

Xu Liu didn't say anything, she was just watching the show.

"Why, sister, you won't give me the honor?" Wu Ping, the son of Changxing Marquis, urged again and again, "Don't waste the beautiful scenery of the palace. I know some quiet places that will surely please you."

The brother and sister were disgusted by what he said in a vulgar way. Xu Rongrong suppressed her nausea and put on a nervous look, clutching the purse around her waist with her fingers and stammering for a long time.

Mrs. Wu Jiang, the wife of the Marquis of Changxing, naturally looked down upon such petty behavior, but her son liked beautiful women.

So he put on a smile and said, "Your mother and I were just about to chat about family matters, but we were afraid that you would be bored, so we'll ask your brother to take you out for a walk."

Xu Rongrong clutched her purse tightly in her hand. After some hesitation, she said timidly, "I...it's late at night, and I feel a little dizzy. It's inconvenient for me to accompany the prince to watch the moon."

Dizzy! Dizzy! Dizzy again! Seeing that she was not understanding, Xu Liushi felt annoyed.

Lady Wu Jiang was also a little annoyed: This is clearly shamelessness!

She glared at Xu Liushi: "Didn't we agree on this before? You came here on your own, so why can't you handle this girl now?"

Xu Liu didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Rongrong continued, "I'm truly sorry for disappointing the prince. How about I pour him some wine to make amends?"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the wine pot, filled the wine glass in front of her, and held it in front of Wu Ping with both hands: "Please don't be angry, my lord."

Wu Ping's face had already fallen, but seeing the beautiful woman pouring wine to apologize personally, what else could he say? Furthermore, the wine glass still had a sweet fragrance.

The beauty's arms are white and her hands are slender, giving her the feeling of jade-like wrists and skin as soft as cream as described in poems. I wonder how wonderful the skin beneath her sleeves feels to touch.

He took the wine glass with a smile and wanted to touch it.

Xu Rongrong calmly hid her hands under her sleeves.

Wu Ping thought she was just being shy: "In that case, I'll drink it. When Miss Xu recovers, I'll go visit her and invite her to go out with me."

After drinking it all, he returned the wine glass to Xu Rongrong and licked his lips: "The cup used by my sister is so fragrant."

Xu Rongrong almost vomited.

She took two deep breaths, poured another glass and handed it over: "Then have a few drinks."

Xu Liu: "..." Is this girl so sensible? Wu Jiang: "..." People from small families don't have any rules.

Wu Ping: “…” This girl is a bit seductive.

On the other hand, some people had already noticed the movements of the Marquis Changxing's son. After all, he was a big cancer in the capital, and the wives of officials were afraid that their maids would be targeted. Now, seeing that sloppy guy harassing a young girl, everyone felt sorry for the girl, but also breathed a sigh of relief for their own family.

"Why did Brother Ping run to the corner?" asked the Crown Princess as she poured wine for the Crown Prince.

The prince didn't take it seriously: "I'm afraid he's harming some female family member again! Who's sitting there?" He said the second half of the sentence to the eunuch behind him.

"Your Highness, those sitting there are the family of the Minister of Works." The eunuch answered respectfully.

The prince uttered an "oh," and said, "That's fine. If it were a third-rank official or above, he wouldn't be allowed to harm them. But this sixth-rank court official... well, he's marrying up."

He naturally didn't care about the affairs of the court councilor's family. Turning around, he saw Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong, who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Rong'er, when are you going to go and cause trouble for other girls? I'm afraid all the girls in the capital are lining up to see you."

Mu Rong said sternly, "I dare not."

The prince was a little embarrassed by what he said. He picked up a peanut and threw it at him: "Brother Rong is becoming more and more old-fashioned now."

The Crown Princess smiled without saying a word and served him wine.

……

The bell rang outside the door, and the emperor and empress came in together again.

Everyone in the hall returned to their seats. Although Wu Ping was a little reluctant, he still followed his mother, Wu Jiang, back to his original seat.

Xiao Ling'er leaned over and whispered in his ear, "What kind of person is the Changxing Marquis' son... Why did your mother choose such a marriage for you?"

Xu Rongrong smiled softly and replied, "My mother passed away young, so there's no one to take care of me."

Xiao Ling'er covered her mouth in surprise, her small hand slightly pointing at Xu Liushi: "She...she...you...you..."

Although the girl was young, she understood everything immediately and lowered her head sadly.

Xu Rongrong couldn't help but raise her hand and rub the girl's head: "Come and try this fruit, it's all tribute."

The banquet continued for another half an hour. The emperor put down his silver chopsticks and said, "My dear ministers, this is not your first time attending a banquet. Now that you understand the purpose of this Qixi Festival banquet, you can tell me what you need to say. After today, I'm afraid we'll have to wait another year."

Everyone burst into laughter, and naturally an official stood up and asked for another family's daughter for his son.

After the emperor and empress asked for the opinions of both parties, they arranged the marriages one by one.

After several couples were matched in this way, Wu Ping, the son of the Marquis of Changxing, stood up and said, "Uncle Emperor, I've also found a girl I like tonight."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You, kid, also want to get married?" "Look at what the emperor's uncle said. Next year, I will be twenty years old. It's time for me to get married, have children, and start a family." Wu Ping smiled and kept glancing in the direction of Xu Rongrong.

The emperor asked, "Whose girl is that? I have to ask her opinion."

Seeing Wu Ping raising his hand and pointing at her, Xu Liu felt very excited: I'm afraid that little bitch can't escape!

She glanced at the expressionless Xu Rongrong and smiled smugly.

Wu Ping was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he vomited all over the floor with a "wow" sound.

Everyone was shocked. Being disrespectful in front of the palace is a serious crime!

The emperor and empress's expressions turned ugly in an instant.

Wu Ping had eaten a lot of meat and wine that night, and had just eaten a lot of fruits. When he vomited, the sour smell was so strong that the people sitting on both sides of him wanted to run away immediately.

Soon, the entire palace was filled with an unspeakable odor. "What a bastard!" the emperor was furious.

The Queen was afraid that he would punish her at this time, so she quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to come and see the Marquis of Changxing."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take him away and summon the imperial physician."

Wu Ping kept vomiting and couldn't utter a word. He was carried to the back hall.

Marquis Changxing and his wife retreated to the back hall together, both of them panicking.

After a thorough examination, the imperial physician concluded that the patient had overeaten.

The wife of Marquis Changxing was unconvinced: "Did someone poison the child?"

The imperial physician was shocked. "Madam Hou, be careful what you say. This is a banquet personally arranged by the Empress. How could someone poison it? The Crown Prince really was injured."

The wife of the Marquis of Changxing was still unwilling to give up: "The Queen is gracious, but she cannot do everything personally. What if some villain takes this opportunity to murder my child?"

Marquis Chang Xing scolded, "Shut up and don't interfere with the imperial physician's treatment!"

The imperial physician sneered inwardly: "Marquis Changxing is not of the same lineage as the current emperor. He only has the title but no real power. He actually has the audacity to doubt the banquet organized by the empress. He is simply insane! No wonder he raised a son like that."

He picked up his pen and wrote down a few medicines, told the palace maid to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, and then went back to report.

Inside Zhengyang Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids had already cleaned the hall and sprayed a lot of spices to cover up the smell.

The imperial physician knelt in the hall and said, "The prince is fine. I think he hasn't been paying attention to his diet. Mixing cold fruits and wine has damaged his spleen and stomach. I have already given him acupuncture to stop his vomiting."

The Crown Prince chuckled, "I think the dinner Father and Mother arranged was too delicious, so Brother Ping, the greedy one, ate too much."

No one responded, but they all laughed in their hearts at the romantic and gluttonous Prince Changxing.

The emperor waved his hand to let the imperial physician leave, anger faintly visible between his brows.

Xu Rongrong lowered her head and drank tea, as if she was not affected at all.

Xu Liu was filled with resentment. Looking at the calm Xu Rongrong, she felt that this bitch was very weird.

You can only avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth. Even if the emperor cannot grant you a marriage, the wife of Marquis Changxing will have a way to get him there in the future!

For everyone at the banquet, who had been waiting for a year for the Qixi Festival banquet, how could they let such a sloppy person ruin the atmosphere?

So the officials' wives tried their best to make the emperor smile again.

After the interlude, the emperor publicly granted several more marriages.

After everyone expressed their gratitude, the banquet drew to a close. Xu Rongrong felt a little sleepy. She raised her hand to gently rub her aching shoulder, but then she saw a familiar figure standing up. "Your Majesty, please grant me a marriage."

"Brother Rong is here to join in the fun too?" The emperor and the queen looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Mu Rong is a thousand-year-old iron tree! In the past four years, those close to him have teased him a lot, but he always insisted that without establishing a career, how could he have a family? Why did he change his mind today?

The emperor was quite interested: "Which girl could win your favor?"

Lin Jiaoyue, standing by, curled her fingers nervously: Is Brother Rong asking to marry me? But...

She was feeling somewhat expectant, but at the same time, she was secretly glancing at the Fourth Prince Wu Tianqi, feeling uneasy.

Until Mu Rong said: "I am attracted to Xu Rongrong, the daughter of Xu Chaoqian, the Minister of Works, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty to grant her marriage."

"Who?" the Emperor and Empress asked. "Ah?" Everyone was shocked.

"Snap!..." Lin Jiaoyue's nails pierced the palm of her hand.

“???…” Xu Chaoqian, the councilor of the Ministry of Works who was called out, was just putting a piece of watermelon into his mouth with a fork, and he almost choked when he heard the words.

Xu Rongrong behind him was also stunned.
