If before, the rumors about the Empress Dowager and Lu Gonggong were only faintly heard by some people in the palace, after these few days, they quickly became the default fact of the entire palace. Although there was a different color in people’s eyes when they looked at Chang’an Palace, under the deterrence of Lu Xingzhou, everyone remained silent.

On this day, Concubine Jing brought the fifth princess to ask Jiang Rui for peace.

Concubine Jing was docile in temperament and her appearance was only delicate. She was not very favored by the first emperor, but she had a good relationship with Empress Dowager Xie. She has only one daughter at her knees. She is only three years old this year and she ranks fifth among many princesses.

Jiang Rui teased the fifth princess for a while, seeing that she was sleepy, she let people hug her down to rest. She saw that Concubine Jing seemed to have something to say and asked the people who were waiting to retreat.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Concubine Jing frowned and said, “Does Niangniang know about the rumors in the palace these days?”

“If Concubine refers to those related to me, I have heard a little bit.” Jiang Rui said as she sipped the tea.

Concubine Jing looked at her expression and pondered: “Originally, I didn’t believe it. Who is Niangniang? Others don’t know, but I still don’t know? But these days they are talking more and more, I think Niangniang is not suppressing one or two?”

Jiang Rui’s face was calm, with a slight smile: “They passed it on correctly.”

She was so calm, but after Concubine Jing was stunned, she did not know what to say, and could not help but look at her carefully.

From this look, she really sees many differences.

In the past, the Empress Dowager was dignified and self-contained and her every move seemed to be carved out of a regular mold. She heard Noble Concubine Xiao make fun of her behind her back more than once, saying that it was because Niangniang was like a wooden person so she could not be loved by the first emperor.

Looking at her again now, she is still demure and dignified. But something has changed, making her whole person show a trace of laziness from her bones and there is a little charm between the corners of her eyes.

She looked at it twice, and for no reason, she felt that her face was hot and her heart was beating, not to mention someone else.

Concubine Jing did not dare to look at her again, so she hurriedly lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

She originally thought that Empress Dowager Xie had to submit for His Majesty’s sake, but now it seems that this is not the case. Since this is the case, there is no need to ask more, some things did not need to be investigated to the end, it is better to be ignorant and understand.

The summer escape was quickly arranged. The night before departure, Lu Xingzhou was in Jiang Rui’s palace and he did not want to leave for a long time.

He knows how to make progress in an orderly manner. He originally just took Jiang Rui’s hand and kneaded it. Seeing that she did not refuse, he kissed her hand one by one. Tonight, he hugged her on the grounds that they will be parted tomorrow and did not let go.

“Hot.” Jiang Rui twisted her eyebrows and pushed a little away.

Lu Xingzhou buried his head on her neck and sniffed lightly, “Niangniang is so fragrant.”

“Gonggong’s nose has something wrong with it. I can smell sweat all over my body.” Jiang Rui could not push it away and said impatiently.

Lu Xingzhou chuckled, his breath sprayed on her neck: “Niangniang’s sweat is naturally fragrant.”

“Frivolous.” Jiang Rui said.

Lu Xingzhou smiled even more happily: “In this minister’s thirty years, Niangniang is the first person to say that the minister is frivolous.”

Jiang Rui pushed him again and Lu Xingzhou took a deep sniff on her neck before finally letting go, “Niangniang went to the other palace, but will you remember this minister?”

“Could it be that Gonggong thinks that I am already seventy or eighty years old, so I can’t remember yesterday’s events today?”

Lu Xingzhou laughed and said: “Niangniang is in full bloom, phoenix’s body is matchless, and she will not be able to be old in another thirty years. The minister was just worried that once Niangniang left the palace and there was a new person in front of her, she would leave this minister behind. I’m afraid that at that time, the minister’s heart will ache when he thinks about it.”

Jiang Rui sneered softly: “Is there a second Lu Xingzhou under the sky who dares to commit a crime and be presumptuous?”

Lu Xingzhou looked at her fascinated: “Maybe it didn’t exist in the beginning, but it won’t necessarily be the case when they see Niangniang.”

Jiang Rui turned her head away and ignored him.

Lu Xingzhou walked a few steps closer, hugged her again, and rubbed her soft body into his arms. But, he rubbed the tip of his nose gently behind her neck, whispering in a low voice: “Is Niangniang angry? The minister only wished that he could hide Niangniang, day and night, day and night, and only the minister could see it. But that can’t work, if he does that, Niangniang will definitely be angry, and ignore the minister if she is angry, so how can the minister endure it? Only by following Niangniang’s will, only by making Niangniang happy, when Niangniang laughs, will she not hesitate to give some smiles. Niangniang, Niangniang…”

His tone was soft and gentle, but the persistence in the words was shocking.

Jiang Rui took a gentle breath: “Lu Xingzhou, you are really a madman.”

Lu Xingzhou smiled, “Yes, and Niangniang has already provoked this madman. Once it is stained, it cannot be thrown away.”

He gently licked the white and slender neck in front of him, “The minister likes Niangniang to call the name of the subordinate, is it okay to call it that in the future?”

Jiang Rui turned her head and wanted to avoid it, but he followed closely. The squishy and hot tongue was threatening, and it seemed to have a downward trend.

“Niangniang?” Lu Xingzhou’s words contained secret excitement.

“Lu Xingzhou, don’t be too presumptuous.” Jiang Rui said angrily.

When he finally forced her to call his name, Lu Xingzhou stopped as she wished, but there were a few faint regrets in his heart.

Jiang Rui did not look at him, pushed away, always feeling sweat and his saliva all over her body, so she went to the side hall and planned to take a bath again.

She originally thought that he had become a eunuch and there was always no need for that aspect, but now it doesn’t seem to be the case. Seeing his excitement, how can he have a little consciousness as a eunuch?
