Chapter 70 is just a bargaining chip

In the evening, the rain gradually faded, and finally turned into a drizzle floating in the air.

The music in the palace is shocking, and the guests in King Kang's Mansion are full, and the gifts are endless. If he had not been awarded the title of prince, and if he were still the common prince who had no power background in those years, then even if it was a big wedding, I'm afraid that no one would come to participate.

The reason why there are so many princes, nobles and court ministers are all due to Li Rongrong's father, Li Jingluo, the prime minister of a country. Therefore, strictly speaking, half of the reason for those who came to attend the ceremony is that he jumped from a humble common prince to King Kang, and the other half is because of Li Jinglue, who has mastered the power of the whole court.

Xia Kang once thought that those who could control the power of the whole court must be unruly powerful ministers, but Li Jing gave him a feeling that it was too ordinary and even made people feel a little weak and incompetent.

The same feeling is also given by Wu Yong of the Supervision Institute, the right imperial historian who only knows how to read books with a teacup every day. But for some reason, everyone is afraid of Wu Yong. If a sword is used for killing on the battlefield, then many times Wu uses just a look or signs his name on a seemingly irrelevant document, and the fate of countless people will change.

Just as Wu Yong, who was in Liuzhou at this moment, casually sealed the name on the paper with the special cross pattern of the inspectorate, five inspectors destroyed a nobleman who intended to rebel. These are secrets that cannot be disclosed, because if they can be made public, they will never be handed over to the supervisory court, but will be handed over to the old fox Mei Nian of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Xia Kang made a toast one after another. In addition, he didn't know whether to say anything else. Except for some coldness that refuses people thousands of miles away, everyone feels that the 17-year-old lonely common prince who left the palace has become an extraordinary and unattainable general, to be precise, a prince who is highly valued by the emperor.

Compared with Xia Kang's indifference, Jing Wuying and Li Jinglue greeted the guests warmly. At the same time, Li Jing was slightly amazed by the carefulness of Jing Wuying. He had always thought that people in the world like Jing Wuying could not cope with this situation at all, but what he didn't expect was that Jing Wuying was decent, neither humble nor arrogant, and several court ministers actually chatted with her very much. Naturally, the martial arts museums are even more impressed by Jing Wuying, which is error-free. Whether in terms of strategy or martial arts, Jing Wuying is a rare talent.

In the side hall, Xia Kang, who was already slightly drunk, said with a wry smile, "No shadow, I didn't expect you, as a person in the world, to deal with this kind of occasion."

"Compared with rivers and lakes, the imperial court is as simple as a bowl of water." Jing Wuying held a handful of wedding candy from the banquet and peeled one into his mouth with a smile. "The wedding candy in the palace is delicious. Do you want one?"

Xia Kang shook his head: "I don't like sweet things."

"Ah, why did the groom come here?" Ling Yue wore a peach-red skirt and walked into the side hall happily without powder. Xia Wuchen, who smiled faintly, came in with her, Ouyang Wan with a pot of wine in his hand, and walked silently in the last night.

"Ha ha, I'm a little drunk. Let's hide here and have a rest." Seeing Ling Yue holding Xia Wuchen's hand tightly, Xia Kang barely squeezed out a smile.

"Where's the bride? Why didn't you see the bride? Ling Yue asked.

"Oh, she's in the room." Xia Kang's eyes fell on the tightly held hands of the two again, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. The silent mirror swept over the three people quietly, and she finally understood that what Xia Kang liked in his heart was Murong Lingyue.

"In the room, I wanted to see the bride. Hee hee, this is a wedding gift. Please accept it." Ling Yue took out a small silver box with exquisite carving from her sleeve and handed it to Xia Kang.

"What's in here?" Xia Kang asked as he opened it. There are two rings in the silver box, but they don't seem to be, because Xia Kang has never talked about such a strange ring. One ring is full of faint white light, while the other is inlaid with light green gems.

"The ring, I designed it myself, is a unique design in the world. Well, I wanted to give it to you a few days ago, but unfortunately the master in the palace couldn't understand the drawings I drew, so I had to explain them over and over again.

"What did you design?"

"Yes, er, although the style is strange, it is very beautiful. Those with gems are for the bride. I wish you a hundred years of good relationship and eternal unity. Ling Yue turned her head slightly with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I also wish you a marriage." Xia Kang felt that that was the most unhearty thing he had said in his life. He doesn't want to be with Li Rongrong, who is about to become his wife, and he doesn't want Ling Yue and Xia Wuchen to finally get married.

There is continuous music outside and the guests are noisy.

After a while, Li Jinglue, who couldn't find Xia Kang and Jing Wuying, also approached the side hall: "Ha ha, why are you hiding here?" However, when Li Jing saw Ling Yue, who had been speechless and swept his face in the hall, his smiling face suddenly became stiff. The atmosphere also became awkward.

Of course, Ling Yue could feel the embarrassment in the air, and then pretended to cough twice: "Congratulations, Prime Minister Li."

"Thank you, Princess." Li Jing nodded slightly, but didn't know what to say next. Fortunately, after Xia Wuchen said something irrelevant, he left with Ling Yue. Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to face Ling Yue. Although she is only a subjugated princess, at this moment stands behind her is the direct prince, Xia Wuchen. In other words, if anything really happens to the prince in the future, Xia Wuchen will be the only candidate to inherit the throne, and her Murong Lingyue will also become a noble imperial concubine.

Maybe it's time to find an opportunity to let go of the past. Li Jinglu thought so in his heart.

The sound of ceremony and music was recalled all night, and then Xia Kang returned to the hall to toast one by one again. During this period, the emperor was also in an endless stream last time, which made everyone who came to the wedding feel that the direction of the imperial court was about to change. When Xia Kang, who was the least valued by everyone, gradually stepped onto the stage of power.

At the end of the wedding, Xia Kang staggered into the new house. Then, fell asleep in **. I completely forgot the existence of Li Rongrong.

Li Rongrong bit her lower lip gently, ashamed and hateful. On the wedding night, the groom fell asleep and didn't care about himself. If this spread out, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will talk after dinner. However, since Xia Kang fell asleep, what can she do? Of course, if Murong Lingyue had been, he would not mind taking the initiative. There would be no reason for a handsome and beautiful man to do nothing in front of him.

However, Li Rongrong is not that much avant-garde after all, so she just lies silently beside Xia Kang and sleeps lightly.

Late night, the bright moon hides in the dark clouds.

In the courtyard, Ling Yue looked at the sky with a blurred color.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. She found that she could not be a simple person after all, just as she knew that Xia Kang would not touch Li Rongrong, and Li Rongrong must be full of grievances and tears at this moment.

How can she not know that Xia Kang has already fallen in love with herself?

It's just that what if you like it?

She once madly loved a man 20 years older than her, but in the end, the man cheated her of all her property, and her 15-year-old brother put down all his dignity and knelt in front of the man's bed just to save his company that was about to go bankrupt.

The picture jumps.

On the cold cement floor, large blood-red flowers bloomed. She hugged her brother's body, cried heartbreakingly, and despair resounded through the sky.

From then on, she no longer believed in anyone and no longer loved anyone.

All feelings are just chips or bets, which can be abandoned at will when necessary. Therefore, Xia Kang's admiration for her is just a bargaining chip, and she is confused about her unspeakable feeling of Xia Wuchen. Do you really like the prince who smiles lightly? Or, all she wants to see is the ferocious face hidden under the light wind and the desire for power.

Once, the man 20 years older than him always smiled lightly, elegant and handsomely.

Fate once again made a joke on her. How can the so-called fate be interpreted by everyone?
