son, stop

After the rain, the wind blows willows and the wind blows the willows, and the scattered Dadan Imperial City shines in the spring sun.

At the end of the early dynasty, courtiers dressed in various official robes filed out from the Zhengyuan Hall.

Zuo Hanchou, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood alone under the white stone steps outside the hall with his head bowed, staring blankly at a colorful butterfly flying around in a purple official robe.

Colleagues pass by sometimes, and they will glance at them. There are teasing and sympathy from friends in their eyes, but more officials are as dazed as Zuo Hanchou. penalty stand.

In the early morning this morning, Zuo Hanchou, as usual, entered the palace before dawn.

Because of his confidence in his nephew, Zuo Hanchou even hummed a little song on the road and began to think about what gift to prepare for his future niece.

When they arrived at the imperial city, Zuo Hanchou and Baiguan entered the Zhengyuan Hall together, but unexpectedly found that Princess Longli did not appear in the hall for the first time.

Princess Longli has been under the curtain for nearly four years, and her ability to govern is not easy to evaluate, but she can definitely be called diligent.In the past, the court was the first to go to the Zhengyuan Hall, waiting for the ministers and the little emperor to come.

But today is uncharacteristically. The little emperor who came last in the past has already sat on the dragon chair, but the bead curtain next to him is still empty.

Both the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the little emperor were embarrassed at that time.

Let's go to court. I'm afraid that Princess Longli will feel that the courtiers are disrespectful, and no one will dare to raise her head.

Continue to wait, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair. Wouldn't it be a disorder of etiquette to wait any longer?

Fortunately, Princess Longli didn't forget that there was a morning meeting today. Although it was a little late, she finally arrived.

Zuo Hanchou breathed a sigh of relief at the time, but what he never expected was that Princess Longli entered the Zhengyuan Hall, and before the eunuch could call for the court, she said in a stern tone:

"The son doesn't teach, the father's fault. Zuo Hanchou, go out to this palace and stand."

Then, the waiter, Zuo Hanchou, stood outside the hall until now.

Zuo Hanchou has been an official for many years, and he handles things smoothly. He is considered a good gentleman in the court. His official position is not low, his background is clean, and he has no intertwined factions. He is a courtier who is more pro-princess.

When Princess Long Li suddenly came, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty were trying to figure out the deep meaning behind Princess Long Li's move.

Of course, no one figured out why.

Zuo Hanchou was also wondering at first whether Her Royal Highness the Princess had other intentions, using him to knock the mountain and shake the tiger or something.

But in the end, it was found that he really just let him stand for one morning, everything else was as usual, and he seemed to be forgotten after the court.

Since there is no other meaning, then the princess is really punishing him.

It's just a penalty stand, which means it's not a big deal.

'The son does not teach, the father is at fault', indicating that the problem is the son.

Zuo Hanchou has several sons, and the second son, Zuo Yunting, is the most unpromising.

Zuo Hanchou pondered for a while, and felt that it was only the second son who had done something stupid and passed it on to the princess' ears.

Thinking of this, Zuo Hanchou's face darkened slightly, and he felt that he had to take care of his son when he got home.

Ling Quan had just arrived in the capital, and he was going to run for the election of Consort tomorrow. How could he cause trouble at such a critical juncture and ruin Ling Quan's perfect impression?

On the White Stone Royal Road, the group of ministers gradually dispersed.

Zuo Hanchou stood alone outside the hall, neither walking nor not walking, his expression became more and more embarrassing.

Fortunately, in the end, an old man with a goldfish bag hanging from his waist walked over from the hall, followed by a few officials, and said in a warm voice:

"Hanchou, go back, the princess was too absorbed in discussing political affairs just now, so she forgot about you."

Zuo Hanchou looked back, and it was Li Jingsi, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Li Jingsi was the head of the hundred officials, and he had gone through three emperors. He was highly qualified and well-connected. In some cases, he could even overwhelm the princess. In the Great Dan Dynasty, he was regarded as the most prestigious courtier.

Seeing Li Jingsi's words, Zuo Hanchou hurriedly raised his hand and bowed:

"Thank you Li Xiang, today I think that my dog ​​has done something stupid again, which made Li Xiang laugh and leave."

Li Jing Sinian was nearly old, his hair was gray but his complexion was very good. After raising his hand, he watched Zuo Hanchou leave first.

After Zuo Hanchou left, an official next to Prime Minister Li Jingsi laughed softly:

"Tomorrow's eldest princess chooses a concubine. I heard that Zuo Hanchou also called a nephew from Qinghe County, thousands of miles away. Hmph, I want to go to relatives with the royal family without looking at my identity."

Li Jingsi walked in front, and his smile turned dull:

"Zuo Hanchou is a slick person, the princess chooses a concubine, whether he is chosen or not, he has to show his loyalty. King Lie and Zong's family wrote to urge the marriage, although the eldest princess agreed to choose a concubine, but from what I see, the eldest princess will not It's too early to release power. The consort is the princess's side, and the position is very important. Can the candidates be arranged?"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Li, there are nearly 20 young talents who have entered Beijing this time that can be used by Prime Minister Li. Regardless of appearance, talent and learning, they are all outstanding among them. The choice of the son-in-law must be selected from them."

Li Jingsi nodded slowly, but before he could speak, another official from the four southern counties frowned and said:

"Yesterday, Xiaguan's nephew came to Beijing, and Xiaguan asked him if there were any outstanding people who came to Beijing from the four southern counties. My nephew said that there were more than [-] people from the four southern counties, and their backgrounds and talents were difficult to judge. But in terms of appearance , Zuo Lingquan of Zuojia in Qinghe County, no one can compare to him, and his key character is not bad. , seems to be Zuo Hanchou's nephew."

Li Jingsi frowned upon hearing this, but he returned to normal immediately, shaking his head and said:

"The Zuo family of Qinghe County is half agricultural and half commercial, and has been rooted in the south for generations. The capital has a shallow foundation, and the outstanding person is a third-rank servant. The eldest princess is in power on behalf of the emperor, and there are many obstacles. Choosing a concubine is an opportunity to win over a party, and you will not judge people by appearance. Choose. Besides, you are not people without talent and beauty, and young talents in a half-country land can’t be compared to a small Qinghe County?”

The surrounding officials also thought about it, and they didn't say much at the moment, and left Miyagi with Li Jingsi.

------

On the east side of the imperial city, in the Fuyan Palace where Princess Longli lives.

More than a hundred palace maids remained silent, staying in their respective positions, and there was not the slightest sound in the huge palace.

Leng Zhu, the maid who was close to her body, stood blankly outside the carved wooden door of the dormitory, trying to listen to the movement inside, but she couldn't hear anything, and she couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.

Last night, the princess asked her to go back to Fuyan Palace first. After Leng Zhu followed the order and returned, she stayed in the palace and waited for the princess to return to bed.

Unexpectedly, when the princess came back, she was drenched and her hair was in a mess, as if she had been spoiled without mercy.

The expression on his face was even more frightening. Leng Zhu grew up with the princess, and it was the first time in so many years that he saw the princess with such a terrifying expression.

Leng Zhu thought that something was wrong, and wanted to ask, but the princess didn't say a word, and started smashing things as soon as the door was closed, and said something like "shameless, bastard".

With such a rage, Leng Zhu didn't dare to hit the muzzle of the gun. He made do with the side hall all night and didn't dare to wake the princess up in the morning. He didn't dare to knock on the door until he was about to go up.

After the princess woke up, the rare one did not wash up and rush to the Zhengyuan Hall, but stood behind the desk, holding a writing brush for a long time, and then wrote a letter with fierce eyes and sent it to Xihuang Valley.

Standing to write a letter, it looks weird, Leng Zhu babblingly asked why he didn't sit and write, and he was punished for standing until now.

After the dynasty was dispersed, the princess had to go to the imperial study room to help the little emperor review the memorials, and could not stay in the house all the time.

After waiting for a long time, Leng Zhu dared to say:

"His Royal Highness, it's time to go to the imperial study."

In the bedroom, Princess Longli Jiang Yi, dressed in court clothes, stood beside the bookshelf, flipping through the secrets of the exercises that she hadn't read in several years, her eyes were looming, and her face was blue and red.

Jiang Yi was a practitioner, and was spanked by a ruler, so she wouldn't be hurt.

But practitioners are also human beings, and being beaten also hurts.

Last night, she was held in her arms by the shameless person and had to be pumped for about twenty times. After returning to the palace, she was still hot, and you don't need to think about it.

Jiang Yi's daughter had never been beaten when she grew up, and the eldest princess, who was dignified with curtains, was spanked by a man. The humiliation in her heart was unspoken.

When I woke up in the morning, although the sore spot was restored to its original state, it was as white and silky as a peeled egg.

But the unforgettable memory could not be erased. Jiang Yi didn't want to sit down until now, for fear of feeling uncomfortable, recalling the humiliating and embarrassing scene.

Hearing Leng Zhu's call, Jiang Yi put down the martial arts secret book, turned around and walked out of the palace gate to the imperial study.

Along the way, the gorgeously dressed Jiang Yi's face was icy cold, with murderous intent almost written on her face, so frightened that Leng Zhu and the court ladies kept a distance of nearly ten paces before they dared to follow quietly.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped.

Leng Zhu quickly stopped and asked carefully:

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the shame and anger in her heart, and said:

"I'm going to choose a son-in-law at Qiyuntai tomorrow. You go and arrange some things for me. There is someone who needs to take good care of you."

Jiang Yi raised her hand to let the other palace maids back away, then leaned into Leng Zhu's ear, gritted her teeth, and talked about the arrangement.

Leng Zhu listened intently, with a puzzled expression on his face, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask why, but seeing the princess's expression, he closed his mouth tactfully
