My Lady is well

Chapter 113 Testing

Shen Yueyao's heart skipped a beat and she looked at him a few times, with complex emotions surging in her beautiful eyes.

He is so easy to talk to today.

She subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

She blinked her long eyelashes a few times and lowered her eyes.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Jing Rujing saw that her thin body was wrapped in a snow-white fox fur coat. A circle of soft fur surrounded her fair neck, making her goose neck look even more slender and her pink lips look soft and tender.

The delicate face looked much thinner, which made it look a little sickly.

The thorn scratched his heart lightly, causing a slight pain. He frowned and looked away.

Taking into consideration that she was pregnant, he put away his usual expression of keeping someone away from him, softened his brows a little, and spoke in a slower tone.

"No hurry, sit down and talk first."

Shen Yueyao noticed that he had a strange expression on his face, and she became more and more unsure. What kind of trap was he setting for her?

But she was not afraid, after all, she had the amulet on her body.

She moved to the opposite side of him, gently lifted the hem of her skirt and sat down, with a dignified manner.

She glanced casually at the chessboard. She didn't quite understand it, but judging from the momentum, she felt that the black pieces were aggressive and the white pieces were humble.

Jing Ruzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He did have something to discuss recently and wanted to hear her opinion.

He didn't even ask the Queen, but wanted to see how she would react, so he slowly raised his eyes and looked at her.

"What do you think of the marriage?"

Peaceful marriage?!

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly. What kind of question was this?

Are you going to send someone to marry again?

Anyway, it's impossible for her to marry a foreign prince, so why ask her?

"I don't understand what the emperor means."

Jing Ruzhang frowned and said.

"Beishuo wants to send a princess to the harem of our Great Jin, hoping to form a hundred-year alliance with the Great Jin."

Shen Yueyao now understood that another country was going to send a princess over, but what did this have to do with her?

The two countries are making peace with each other. Could it be possible that the marriage will be cancelled just because she says no?

What is going on in this person's mind?

This had nothing to do with her, so she wasn't going to get involved and just made an excuse.

"This is a matter of state affairs for His Majesty. As a concubine in the harem, I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to make irresponsible comments, right?"

Jing Ruzhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and raised one eyebrow.

"This is not the court. I asked you to speak, so just tell the truth. Last time when Concubine Shen was so eloquent that Lord Chen fainted, did you realize that you were a concubine in the harem?"

When she mentioned this, she got angry. It was clearly him who asked her to say it last time.

As a result, Lord Chen was so angry that he fainted. From the tone of his voice, it was clear that he wanted to settle the score later.

She touched her belly secretly, feeling a sense of revenge in her heart. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then decided to disgust him.

She bit her lower lip lightly and spoke in a delicate voice.

"Your Majesty wants to hear the truth?"

Jing Ruzhang saw that she looked strange and knew that she might not be able to say anything nice, but she had been listless these past few days and today she was finally in the mood to talk, so he didn't want to spoil her mood.

He wanted to hear her unique insights.

"Since I have asked, if you tell a lie you are deceiving the emperor."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart but asked seriously.

"May I ask if the emperor has ever seen this Princess Beishuo?"

Jing Ruzhang didn't understand why she asked this question. He frowned slightly, rested his elbows on the stone table, and gently stroked the gold embroidery on his cuffs with his fingertips.

He replied calmly, "I've never seen it before."

"Since she is a princess, she must have been pampered in the deep palace. I think her appearance and figure should not be bad."

Jing Ruzhang was puzzled: "The marriage between the two countries is a matter of state, what does it have to do with her appearance and figure?"

Shen Yueyao sighed and looked at him with sympathy.

"Of course it is related. The two countries' countries are tied to your lifelong happiness. You have never seen this Princess Beishuo, but you want to marry her as your concubine. I know that it is indeed unfair to the emperor, but if she is beautiful and graceful, a beauty that can overwhelm the whole country, then she is a match for the emperor. Then you will not let the emperor down... this noble act of selling yourself to save the country."

Jing Ruzhang's face suddenly turned dark, and his good expression just now disappeared in an instant. He cast a gloomy gaze on her face and repeated her words word by word.

"Selling Yourself to Save Your Country"

Shen Yueyao then deliberately covered her mouth, as she had just slipped and accidentally told the truth.

She stood up and bowed in a hurried manner.

"Your Majesty, I have little education and my words are inappropriate. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jing Ruzhang's face was extremely gloomy. This woman was driving him crazy.

He didn't have to marry this princess. Beishuo, a barbaric land, was not worthy of his attention.

Just now Song Chuyao said that to see whether a woman likes you or not, you just need to see whether she is willing to be jealous of you.

So I decided to test her, and listen, there is no trace of jealousy in her words.

His fists clenched under his sleeves made a creaking sound, and he spoke coldly, gritting his teeth.

"I'll give you a chance to change your words."

Shen Yueyao's eyes moved around his face, seemingly panicked, but in fact she was admiring his angry expression at the moment.

What should he do? Even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything to her.

She felt a little bit cheap for a moment.

Change the word, he thought.

"Dedicate, dedicate yourself to save the country. What do you think?"

"Shen-Yue-Yao."

Jing Ruzhang stood up angrily. Shen Yueyao saw that his face looked strange and thought that he had said something a little too much.

Although she didn't feel it in her heart, she didn't know where this inexplicable feeling of guilt came from.

Jing Ruzhang walked closer to her step by step, and Shen Yueyao stepped back step by step until her lower back was against the railing and she could not retreat any further.

A trace of panic appeared in her eyes, and her long eyelashes flickered several times.

He said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

Jing Ruzhang held her waist tightly with one hand, lowered his head and moved closer to her, his hot breath lingering around her nose. He sneered and looked at her with a serious look.

"Want to go back to Yuntai Pavilion?"

Shen Yueyao was enveloped by his aura. She looked at him guiltily with her watery eyes and nodded subconsciously, looking a little silly.

"dream."

With just two words, he snatched the promise she had already obtained, stepped on it, crushed it fiercely twice, and completely shattered it.

He felt that this was not enough, so he added another sentence.

"Don't even think about going back in this life."

Shen Yueyao didn't expect that he would go back on his word. She was shocked and said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty has promised me, and you are a man of honor. How can you go back on your word? I'm afraid it will be disrespectful to the emperor. Please think twice."

"I am about to sell myself, what is the point of having a face?"

"..."
