My money-loving little lady

Empress Sima had a sullen face, trying to keep herself elegant and calm.

She picked up the wine glass and said with a smile after the emperor, "Congratulations to all of you for winning the top three places. I also hope that you can use your hard work and talents to contribute to His Majesty and the people."

"Thank you, Queen." Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.

Jing Rongyao was a little worried about Fu Jinchen, the drunkard next to her, and glanced at him from the corner of her eye from time to time.

Sure enough, after two glasses of wine, a blush gradually appeared on his fair face. The emperor raised his glass again and pointed it in the direction of Fu Jinchen.

"Ouyang Aiqing, come, let me have another drink with you."

Fu Jinchen heard this and was about to pick up the wine glass. Jing Rongyao quickly stood up and took the wine glass from his hand with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My husband's drinking capacity is quite poor. These two drinks are already his limit. If he is allowed to drink more, he will probably get drunk and cause laughter in the court. I am willing to take my place."

My husband drank your majesty's glass of wine as an apology."

The emperor was a little surprised when he saw this. This woman actually dared to go against his will. She shouldn't have said such things on such an occasion. Isn't she afraid of getting angry in public?

Sure enough, the queen always likes to stick her sword in the needle, looking for little trouble to watch the fun. Especially after Jing Rongyao returned the gift she sent before, she always felt that she couldn't save her face. She suddenly scolded her with a cold face.

.

"Bold! Your Majesty lets him drink. How dare you disobey His Majesty's will?"

Jing Rongyao explained without changing her expression. "Back to the Queen, I am not disobeying Your Majesty's will, nor do I dare to lie to Your Majesty, but because I do know that my husband is not good at drinking. Therefore.

, I just want to drink this cup for my husband."

The emperor stared at Jing Rongyao in front of him with great interest. He had been with Sima Ruozhao for so many years. He didn't know that Sima Ruozhao was a seemingly gentle person but very eager for power and status. Once someone provoked her face and

Because of her vanity, she will desperately try to drag this person into trouble.

He wants to see how his sister's good daughter will solve this situation?

So, the emperor kept silent and pretended to be a good man. Jing Chengye was a little nervous and slapped Jing Rongyao to make her stop talking. Jing Rongyao pretended not to notice and continued to stare at the men and women in the palace, making the scene even more rigid.

Get up.

I saw the queen's gloomy face, as if she didn't expect that she would actually contradict him, and her cold expression looked like it was about to explode in the next second.

"You are quite brave. Aren't you afraid of me? Are you going to be punished for contradicting me in public?" Jing Rongyao smiled and said calmly.

"The Queen will not do that."

"Why?" Queen Sima was stunned and a little confused.

"Because Your Majesty and the Empress pursue benevolent government, they will not sentence me to such a serious death penalty just because of my simple words."

Hearing this, the emperor and Fu Jinchen immediately smiled secretly because they knew that the queen had fallen into the text trap set by Jing Rongyao.

It is true that contradicting the emperor on such a grand occasion must be a capital crime, but the degree of contradiction and the specific circumstances of the contradiction also depend on the contradiction.

She just wanted to drink this glass of wine for her husband because of the deep love between husband and wife. If the emperor or the queen sentenced someone to death for this simple matter, it would be making a fuss out of a molehill. Moreover, not only would it not be criticized by others if she talked about it,

The insult will make people think that this is just a good story that shows the deep love between husband and wife.

Sure enough, the queen was stunned when she said this. Indeed, what she said was reasonable. Indeed, she cannot be sentenced to death just because of this simple matter. The promotion of benevolent government was something she and the emperor personally promoted. If she were to do so now because of

This simple little thing landed Jing Rongyao in jail. Isn't that equivalent to slapping himself in the face and also slapping the emperor's face?

Her reaction was quick, and the stiff expression on her face quickly turned into a dignified smile. She turned to face the emperor with a smile. "Look, Your Majesty, she is worthy of being the wife of the Number One Scholar, who is famous far and wide."

, this lady is also very smart and eloquent."

She turned to Jing Rongyao and said, "I'm just joking, Mrs. Ouyang, please don't take it seriously."

If you are an ordinary person, you will be very surprised by the Queen's changeable appearance. But the Emperor will not, he seems to have been used to her appearance.

I saw that he also smiled and said to smooth things over. "Well, it seems that Ouyang Aiqing is also henpecked."

Fu Jinchen smiled, stood up and bowed, "Wei Chen's wife is marrying me at a low price, so Wei Chen must take good care of his wife and cannot let her down."

The two of them showed off their affection invisibly, and the eldest brother Jing Chengye, who had been frightened for the two of them just now, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this situation was resolved.

The emperor and the empress both laughed, and the emperor even said helplessly, "I just told the empress that she saw that the number one scholar was so handsome and talented, and she wanted to choose a good marriage for her. It seems like that.

, it is inconvenient to force others to make things difficult and mess up the mandarin ducks."

The Queen also smiled lightly and said, "Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang have raised their eyebrows, so Your Majesty should not break them up."

At this time, the emperor turned his attention to Jing Chengye, who was also a young talent. "I heard that Jing Aiqing is not married yet, right?"

Jing Chengye hurriedly stood up and bowed, "To answer your Majesty's question, I am not married."

"In this case, I will look for you for Aiqing another day to see if there is a suitable woman with matching appearance and family background. When the time comes, how about I also let Aiqing take a look?"

I saw Jing Chengye cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think that as a man, starting a family and starting a career are both important. Whether to start a family first or start a career first is a personal choice and personal ambition. Wei Chen thinks, As your Majesty's ministers, I should share your Majesty's worries and annoyances. Plan for the people's food, clothing, and happiness. It's not a bad thing to establish a career first and then start a family."

The emperor thought it was reasonable and stopped worrying too much about this matter. However, Queen Sima was not happy. She originally wanted her dear niece Sima Yue to marry her son Fu Zheng , but Fu Zheng himself chose Xue Xuefu, the daughter of the Minister of War. He later gave some explanations to Queen Sima. After analyzing the pros and cons, Queen Sima also felt that it was better to have a concubine with military power from her natal family. Her niece Sima Yue is better off. However, she still doesn’t want to give up on finding a marriage for her niece.

Originally, she had heard news from the previous dynasty that this year's new top scholar was a young and handsome man. She wanted to say that her niece was also a talented woman, and she would be more than good enough for him. Moreover, the new top pick was young and had a promising career in the future. There are endless possibilities. Maybe in the end, you can climb to the first or second grade through your own efforts, which is not impossible. But she didn't expect that the new number one scholar was actually Jing Rongyao's husband.

Since the number one scholar already has a wife, Tanhua Lang is also very good-looking. What happened? She just wanted to interrupt, but Jing Chengye rebuffed the emperor. It was not good for her to speak again. Moreover, this Jing Chengye actually He is also Jing Rongyao's brother, and there is only one left, Huang Shuquan, who is still married. How to give it to his niece? How about pretending that it is getting late, and stop these people before making a decision?

As a member of the harem, she naturally understands all the insidious and sinister things those agencies do. Staring at the dancing girl in front of the palace, a plan gradually emerged in her mind.
