C110 Orange Branch Punishment He Linglong

"But, I clearly heard the palace maid who did it swear that Jiegeng did take the medicine. Now, I am really glad." Qi Han sighed with emotion.

"I am afraid that Ho Lingloong did not do well when she ordered people to do things. That Ho Lingloong seems to be just putting on airs." Shihan said disdainfully.

Duan Shuang was about to go out when he was stopped by Jiegeng.

"Older brother Yun, leave this matter to me today! She is heartless, I am unjust! I want to see who will be the one to make a fool of themselves in the end! "

" Oh, Jiegeng, you have a way to deal with Ho Lingloong? " Shihan's interest was piqued.

Jiegeng smiled complacently, "You guys will know in a while!"

"Alright, let's go back quickly. Otherwise, the Empress will send someone to ask. This Empress Dowager and the Emperor are about to arrive. " Rani Yi reminded.

Everyone nodded.

When they returned to their seats, Duan Shuang first instructed the palace people to change all the utensils on the table. Then, taking advantage of Jiegeng not caring, he put away the wine cup that Jiegeng drank previously.

At this time, the Emperor and Empress Dowager also entered the palace.

This banquet, to put it bluntly, was a talent for selecting concubines. Not only did he choose concubines for the Emperor, it was also for the various Princes and Dukes to choose their first and second concubines.

Hence, today, the majority of the females present were females. And among the young masters... Most of them were people with noble titles or prestigious families. If they lost their affection in such an occasion, not to mention embarrassing themselves, even their chances of getting a good marriage would be greatly reduced.

The Empress Dowager had already regarded Jiegeng as a thorn in her flesh the moment she entered.

Jiegeng also knew that from the last matter, she could not allow the Empress Dowager to be happy, so she simply avoided the Empress Dowager's gaze.

The banquet had already started for a long time, but she still did not find Jiang Wanxin's figure. Jiegeng felt that it was extremely strange. Just now, she thought that she was by the empress dowager's side, but now by the empress dowager's side, there was no trace of her.

"Elder sister, where is Wanxin?" Jiegeng asked Shihan. Fortunately, Shihan's banquet seat was close to hers, which was why it was so convenient for them to talk.

"You don't know? She was locked up by the Jiang family."

"Why?" Jiegeng was puzzled. Wanxin always did things with propriety. How could she make the mistake of being locked up tightly? "

" I am not too sure about this. However, I heard that it was the Empress Dowager who personally issued the decree. "

" Emperor, I heard that you have recently conferred a princess title? " The Empress Dowager had just drank some wine when she thought that it was not the case for her to start looking for Jiegeng.

"Yes, Mother."

"Who is it? Come out and let me take a look." The Empress Dowager said leisurely.

Jiegeng could no longer escape and could only step forward.

"So it's you?" The Empress Dowager looked up at Jiegeng and casually said.

Jiegeng's heart was pounding. This Empress Dowager must have already known that it was her. What was the reason for this?

"Since you are the new Princess, everyone here is not familiar with you. Why don't you demonstrate your talent on the spot?" Although the Empress Dowager seemed to be asking Jiegeng's opinion, her attitude was not to be ignored.

"What, you are not willing?"

"Jiegeng would not dare." Jiegeng calmed her mind and slowly said, "It is just that this subject only recognizes talents that are not proficient. Four books, five scriptures, piano, chess and painting are only at the level of knowledge and it is really difficult to enter the grand hall."

Jiegeng glanced at the Empress Dowager and saw that she was not angry. Then she continued, "Furthermore, this subject only shows it on her own and there is nothing to compare. She also can't tell if it is good or bad. Furthermore, just this subject alone is probably not enough to liven things up for the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress."

" Since that's the case, with so many people present, who would be willing to showcase it with Renxi? " The Empress Dowager naturally followed Jiegeng's words and asked the people present.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this subject is willing." Ho Lingloong immediately stood out.

Jiegeng laughed secretly when she heard Ho Lingloong's voice.

Ho Lingloong, I have given you a chance. This time, you cannot blame anyone else.

The moment Ho Lingloong came out, the people lowered their heads and started whispering again.

"Isn't Bai Jiegeng asking for death by comparing with Ho Lingloong?"

"Yeah, who doesn't know that she was conferred the title of princess because of that talented girl."

"Furthermore, I heard that Bai Jiegeng lost to Lau Yunyan previously. Now, I'm afraid that she will be even more miserable!"

"Linglong, you came out to compete with Renxi. Wouldn't that mean that you are going to bully her?" The Empress hastily came out to smooth things over. "Which woman in this entire country dares to compete with you?"

"It's fine, it's just to liven things up. Empress, are you serious about competing?" Although the empress dowager spoke with a smile, she spoke with a bit of reproach towards the Empress.

"Yes, Mother"

"Renxi, what do you want to compete for? Choose for yourself. Right now, don't say that Ling Long bullied you. " The Empress Dowager looked at Jiegeng and Ho Lingloong and was obviously biased towards Ho Lingloong.

Ho Lingloong looked at Duan Shuang with deep affection, but she found that Duan Shuang's gaze was all on Jiegeng. This time, Ho Lingloong hated Jiegeng even more.

Hmph, and you have already consumed the Heart Disappointment Powder. You are inferior to me in every aspect. In this duel, I can still make you lose your luster.

"Compared to the Empress Dowager, I am already sick of watching ordinary zither, chess, chess, and painting. Why don't we compete in combination talents?"

"What do you mean?" Ho Lingloong raised her head high, her face full of confidence.

"That is to say, combining more than two talents at the same time. Wouldn't that be more interesting?" Jiegeng smiled and said, "Since I suggested it, I am willing to demonstrate it first as a demonstration."

" This is quite new. " The Emperor also nodded his head.

"Before this official perform, may this official request a few instruments?"

"Oh, tell me about it." The Emperor was immediately surprised.

"The surface of the drum is large enough to accommodate ten people as well as a set of bells."

"Agreed."

When Jiegeng's words came out, Ho Lingloong could not help but stare at her.

The palace people began to slowly move the equipment into the palace.

"It is just trying to attract attention. Bai Jiegeng, I do not believe that you can beat me with this thing." There was no one else around and Ho Lingloong began to be impolite to Jiegeng.

"I have never thought of competing with you in terms of strength." Jiegeng looked at Duan Shihan who had a somewhat ferocious expression, "What is there that I need to win? What should have belonged to me was already mine. Just look at your envy. Therefore, I can understand why you're so angry now. "

" Bai Jiegeng, don't be so arrogant. Who is the final winner? No one can say for sure now! "Ho Lingloong realized that she had lost control of her emotions just now and immediately restrained herself a little.

"What do you think Bai Jiegeng wants to do?"

"Dancing on the drum and weaving the beat of the bell. This is understandable. But this is not something that a single person can complete at the same time."

" Could it be that she wants to dance a bit and then ring the bell? "

"If that's really the case, then wouldn't it be too comical?"

Under the whispers of the crowd, the venue was also set up.

"Alright, we can begin now." The Empress Dowager urged Jiegeng.

"Yes."

Jiegeng stood confidently on the drum and started to dance with the rhythm of her footsteps hitting the drum.

At the beginning, there was only the sound of the drum and it seemed to be too monotonous.

At this time, the clock suddenly made a clear sound. Everyone looked at the clock in unison. No one was nearby, so how could the clock make its own sound?

With the help of the drum, the clock started to chant the complete melody one after another. Upon closer inspection, the floor of the clock turned out to be sparkling pearls.

At this moment, if one took a closer look at Jiegeng's dance, one would be able to notice that all of the pearls were made from her dance. Every single one of them hit the corresponding clock accurately.

Duan Shuang looked at Jiegeng's graceful appearance and smiled slightly. "Now you are smart. You know how to infer three things."

Ever since Duan Shuang taught Jiegeng this martial art, Jiegeng had practiced it every day. Until today, even though Jiegeng did not have any inner energy, she could rely on her wrist strength to make the entire silver needle enter the designated point of the tree stump. Now, using this pearl to shoot such a huge target naturally became easy.

Jiegeng was originally wearing a crescent white dress today. Coupled with the clear bell sound and the drum beat that did not drag on, she danced and scattered the pearl. She looked more like a fairy that had accidentally entered the mortal world.

"What is going on? Didn't you say that the medicine would take effect in two hours? Why is she still so clear-headed now! " Ho Lingloong looked at Jiegeng's performance and her heart still started to panic.

"Princess, this servant saw..."

"Enough, shut up! A bunch of trash, you can't even do such a small thing!" Ho Lingloong was flustered and exasperated.

The dance came to an end and the crowd immediately applauded.

"Good, good, good! It is indeed novel!" The Emperor's face was full of joy, "I did not expect that the children of the Bai family not only have excellent medical skills, but they are also very rare in this world! Today, Zhen is truly in the state of opening one's eyes!"

"That's right, Emperor, this is the first time Chenqie has seen such music. This is the first time Chenqie knows that with just one person's strength, one can be so lecherous!" The Empress also praises.

Actually, Jiegeng's dancing and musical skills could only be considered average. But this price was based on Jiegeng's perfect combination of the three. The freshness that greeted her face covered Jiegeng's not considered outstanding talent.

"The Emperor and Empress are overpraising me." Jiegeng immediately got down from her drum and knelt down to thank the Emperor for his graciousness.

"It is indeed not bad." The Empress Dowager's expression became even worse. "I wonder what Princess Linglong prepared?"

The Empress Dowager stared intently at Ho Lingloong, hoping that she would be more outstanding.

"Chennu needs four screens and brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones."

"Good!" The Emperor's mood was currently very high, "Men, prepare immediately!"

"What you did just now was just some sensationalism methods. I will let you see what is called true talent!" Ho Lingloong passed by Jiegeng's side and did not forget to provoke again.

Jiegeng did not say anything and just made a "please" gesture.

Ho Lingloong arrogantly and deliberately walked around Jiegeng.

When Ho Lingloong walked past her, Jiegeng started to laugh evilly.

Jiegeng was the first to return to her seat. Duan Shuang immediately asked, "What did you sprinkle on her just now?"

"You saw it! Don't tell me the others saw it too?" Jiegeng immediately raised her head and looked at Duan Shuang.

"No way. There are no other people with such ability in this place!" Duan Shuang scratched Jiegeng's nose.

Jiegeng immediately hit Duan Shuang's hand. "What kind of place is this? Aren't you being too impudent?"

"Who cares about me!"

Jiegeng instantly became speechless.

"However, it doesn't matter even if someone sees me. Even if they really find out about me, it doesn't matter!"

Duan Shuang saw that Jiegeng was getting used to everything here and felt happy in his heart.

Ho Lingloong originally wanted Duan Shuang to take a few glances at her, but after seeing Duan Shuang and Jiegeng's intimate actions, she even ignored the discomfort that suddenly appeared on her body.

Ho Lingloong walked to the side of the painting table and started to chant.

The song was melodious and moving. Although it did not have the accompaniment of an instrument, it made her song more ethereal.

At this moment, Ho Lingloong picked up the painting brush on the table and started to slowly dance. While she was dancing, she started to draw on the four screens at the same time.

However, not long after, Ho Lingloong started to feel itchy all over her body. Because she was in the middle of a competition, Ho Lingloong forcefully suppressed the itch on her body and insisted on singing and painting.

Gradually, her singing started to tremble and the painting in her hand also made a few mistakes due to the trembling.

At this time, the itch on Ho Lingloong's body actually increased the pain. The pain gradually increased and it felt like there were thousands of ants biting it.

"Ah!" Ho Lingloong finally could not hold it in anymore and raised her head to let out a long cry. Those paintings were also completely destroyed.

The pain and intense itch caused Ho Lingloong to roll on the ground directly, without any image to speak of.

"Help!" Ho Lingloong kept exclaiming.

"What's going on!" The Emperor immediately cried out in alarm.

"I feel so uncomfortable! Save me! So itchy, so painful!" At this moment, Ho Lingloong's hairstyle was completely destroyed and her clothes became untidy because of her constant swaying.

"Ah, her arms are full of small rashes! It can't be an infectious disease, right? "When a noble lady near Ho Lingloong saw this, she immediately cried out in alarm and immediately retreated far away.

After hearing this question, everyone retreated far away, afraid that they would be infected.

"Call the Imperial Physician!" the Empress shouted.

"Female Empress, Emperor, it's better to avoid it." After the Empress finished giving her instructions, she immediately said to the two of them.

"Alright, alright!" The Empress Dowager was already at this age, so when she heard that it was an infectious disease, she was already given a huge fright. At this moment, she immediately fled in panic.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is more important. Leave this place to this lowly official." Duan Shuang was the first to jump out and preside over the situation.

"Alright, you also have to be careful!"

"Yes."

Apart from the three most respected people, all the royal family members with titles and orders left first.

"Everyone, retreat to the back." Duan Shuang received the order and immediately started to direct the scene to manage these young ladies and young masters.

After the Imperial Physician came and saw Ho Lingloong rolling on the ground, he immediately took out a white brocade cloth from the medicine box and surrounded her mouth and nose. When everyone saw this, they even took a few steps back.

"Imperial Physician... Save... "Before Ho Lingloong could finish her sentence, she fainted.

The Imperial Physician immediately instructed the people of the Palace to place Ho Lingloong on the stretcher and carry her out of the palace.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Ho Lingloong leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please leave from the back to avoid any accidents. This place still needs to be cleaned up." The Imperial Physician reported.

"Everyone, go to the side hall now." Duan Shuang immediately ordered.

Everyone immediately left.

"Jiegeng, this is you?" Shihan and the rest walked to the back of the group and Shihan immediately pulled Jiegeng to ask.

Jiegeng nodded.

"I can't tell. When you are ruthless, it is also very scary!" Shihan patted her chest.

"Yes, with her appearance just now, it is much more terrifying than losing one's mind. Now she is even wearing a hat that is suspected to be infectious. This Ho Lingloong is miserable." Qi Han also looked at Jiegeng with slight surprise. Sure enough, she was with Duan Shuang. They could not be trifled with!
