Lu cursed: "You are unreasonable! My sister has been wronged. As a younger brother, you just don't stand up for her. Are you still making sarcastic remarks here?"
Fang Yi's face turned red, but he didn't dare to argue with his mother, so he had to keep his head down and remain silent.
Mrs. Lu snorted and said to the servant, "Go and inquire again."
"promise!"
The servant responded, but before he could turn around, another servant ran in.
"I'm telling you, Madam, Erlang... Erlang smashed up the Cao family's boudoir!"
"What?"
Mrs. Lu was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't this too big a fuss?
Ms. Cui was also a little anxious and asked, "Why was it smashed?"
The servant watched the whole process at the palace before coming back to report it. He immediately recounted the incident vividly and with added jealousy.
Mrs. Lu beamed with joy: "It's so refreshing, so good!"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.
Fang bit her lip, her eyes sparkling, that little vixen, is she scared this time? Do you think that with the prince pampering you, you will act recklessly?
Mr. Cui looked dull, thinking that this brother-in-law was too fierce...
Fang Yizhi murmured to himself: "Rude... rude... unreasonable..." He was afraid of being scolded by his mother, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.
Before everyone could recover, a third servant came running to report.
"Erlang pushed two of the Cao family's brothers to the ground and whipped them, and threatened, 'You Cao family has brothers, are you bullying the princess who has no brothers? I will show you whose brother is more powerful! From now on, no one will be disrespectful to the princess. Otherwise, this is what will happen'!"
Mrs. Fang was so moved that she burst into tears again. This second brother was so considerate...
Then another word from the servant made everyone's hearts arouse.
"Your Majesty has ordered the 'Hundred Cavalry' to take Erlang into the palace..."
Although I knew that His Majesty would know about this matter and that he would not be able to escape the charge of resisting the decree, he was still very worried when it happened.
Fang stopped crying, stood up, walked to Fang Xuanling's bed, knelt down, cried and begged: "Father, this happened all because of my daughter. Your Majesty will be furious when Erlang enters the palace this time. I don't know." What will be the punishment? Go into the palace and beg Your Majesty to forgive Erlang..."
Fang Xuanling tugged on his beard and looked embarrassed: "This... this... I'll talk about it after I think about being a father..."
Lu, however, had already yelled: "What a nonsense! Fang Xuanling, you have been soft all your life, how long will you continue to be soft?"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Madam, please be patient and don't be impatient... No matter what, Your Majesty will definitely take care of Xian's face and will not take Erlang's life, nor will he be sent to the army..."
Having been a monarch and minister for decades, Fang Xuanling knew His Majesty Li Er's temperament, so he was not worried.
But he is not worried, Lu is worried!
Lu's eyebrows stood up, she pointed at Fang Xuanling's nose and shouted: "Fang Xuanling, are you speaking in human language? Erlang is also the flesh that fell off your body. Even if His Majesty wants his life, you still can't." You can even cripple someone by beating him with a board. Do you want to go? Okay, if you don’t go, I will!”
Mrs. Lu cursed a lot and was so worried that she wanted to enter the palace by herself.
Ms. Cui was extremely embarrassed. As her daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law pointed at her father-in-law's nose and got mad... It was neither possible to leave nor to stay.
Fang Xuanling's face turned red and she said angrily: "You stupid woman, don't mess around! If someone says it's okay, then it means it's okay. Don't make any noise!"
It was rare for Fang Xuanling to get angry with Mrs. Lu like this. Now she couldn't hide her face in front of her daughter-in-law. She burst out in such a rage that she actually calmed down Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Fang Xuanling, then suddenly returned to the couch and burst into tears.
"My miserable son... How come he has such a miserable life and meets such a hard-hearted father?..."
Fang Xuanling was crying so much that Mrs. Lu had a headache. She was about to go back to her room to escape when she suddenly heard a noise outside the door.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly went to the door to take a look, but a group of "Hundred Riders" came in carrying a royal chariot. Her second son was lying on the chariot, looking over with his head and head, looking into each other's eyes.
Fang Jun grinned, showing his white teeth: "Mom!"
Mrs. Lu held up the hem of her skirt and ran out. When she saw Fang Jun lying on the chariot, his whole back was bloody and bloody, and his dark face turned white with pain, he screamed and said in a trembling voice: "This ...This...how many strikes have been made?"
"Not much, only fifty..." Fang Jun said nonchalantly: "Son, I'm strong and strong, so I'll be fine. And thanks to General Li's mercy, it's just a skin injury, not a muscle or bone. I'll be fine in a few days."
Only then did Mrs. Lu see Li Junxian, who was leading the team. She quickly saluted and said gratefully, "Thanks to the general for helping me this time, please take a seat in the room."
Li Junxian smiled and nodded: "Madam, there is no need to say thank you, it is all His Majesty's arrangement. I also happened to pay a visit to Mr. Fang."
Princess Han's Fang Shi ran out at this time. When she saw Fang Jun's injury, she immediately started to shed tears again. She gently stroked Fang Jun's cheek and cried: "You idiot, you are such a fool, how can my sister tolerate it?" ?”
Fang Jun bared his teeth and smiled: "Then the King of Han deceived my Fang family into having no one, how could you not give him some color? This guy is also a shady guy. He actually went to His Majesty to complain. It's a good thing he didn't catch him, otherwise he would have been killed. I want him to look good!”
When Li Junxian saw Fang, he immediately knelt down on one knee to perform a military salute and shouted: "Your Majesty, Li Junxian, has met Princess Han."
When he faced the Lu family before, he just treated her as a normal courtesy. This was the difference between a distinguished minister and the royal family.
Fang hurriedly turned aside and said warmly: "How dare you be a great gift to General Li? I haven't thanked the general enough for taking care of my brother, and I want to pay my respects to him."
Saying this, he bowed down to be blessed.
How dare Li Junxian accept this gift? He hurriedly avoided it and said in panic: "The princess has betrayed my minister."
Originally, he wanted to say a few words to Fang Xuanling, but the presence of the princess was too restrained, so Li Junxian left immediately.
Before leaving, he took out another scroll, handed it to Lu with both hands, and said, "This is the "Notes on Daily Living" recorded in the palace. Your Majesty ordered his ministers to bring it to Xianggong Fang."
After a pause, he said softly: "This is a record of Erlang's duel with His Majesty after he entered the palace..." After that, he said goodbye and left.
After all, it was a gift from His Majesty. Although Lu didn't know what Your Majesty meant by bringing this, she didn't dare to neglect it and hurried back to the house to send it to Fang Xuanling.
At this time, Fang Yizhi also walked out of the house, holding his hands behind his back. He looked at the injuries on Fang Jun's back, the muscles on his face twitched, and he said, "It's your own fault." Shi Shiran walked away.
Fang Jun can't laugh or cry, can't you care more? Even being hypocritical is better than being so indifferent, right?
Sister-in-law Cui also looked embarrassed and smiled unnaturally: "Your eldest brother... is worried but refuses to say it. Don't blame him."
Fang Jun smiled. This sister-in-law was quite understanding, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand."
Mrs. Cui felt relieved and said with a smile: "I have an old ginseng in my house that was given to me as a dowry. I'll ask the maid to bring it to you later. That thing is the best for replenishing vitality."
After saying that, he gave a few more instructions and then left.
The servants carried Fang Jun back to his residence in a hurry.
In the room, Fang Xuanling looked at the "Daily Notes" sent by His Majesty with a sigh on his face.
Mrs. Lu was puzzled. She looked at Fang Xuanling and refrained from asking. When she saw Princess Han, Fang Shi came in and asked, "Bring it back?"
Fang nodded: "Well, I'll go over after giving the medicine later."
Fang Jun was injured on his hip, so he would have to take off his clothes to apply medicine. Although Fang was the eldest sister, after all, there were differences between men and women, so it was inconvenient to stay close to her.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips at Fang Xuanling and asked in a low voice: "What is your Majesty's purpose in sending you this "Notes on Living Life"?"
She had just finished arguing with Fang Xuanling, and she felt depressed when she asked Fang Xuanling. Naturally, she refused, and she felt really uncomfortable if she didn't ask.
Fang was also puzzled. When she saw Fang Xuanling finished reading "Notes on Daily Life", she walked over, picked it up and looked at it carefully. As she looked at it, tears fell again...
Mrs. Lu was anxious and angry, and said displeasedly: "How come your kid doesn't look like me at all? A coward only knows how to cry! What's going on?"
Fang wiped her eyes but said nothing. She kept chewing on Fang Jun's words recorded in "Daily Notes" in her heart.
"I'm a stupid person. No matter how many things I do, my habit of doing things is always to help my relatives but not to deal with them. Whoever bullies my family members should be beaten first, regardless of the reason!"
There were tears in Fang's eyes, but a smile on her lips, feeling Fang Jun's persistence and stubbornness in protecting his eldest sister, regardless of right or wrong.
Fang Xuanling sighed softly at this time: "Your Majesty is posing a difficult problem for me..."
Mrs. Lu felt that she couldn't stand the weirdness of the two fathers and daughters, and she slapped the table with a raised eyebrow: "What's going on, please explain it quickly!"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "Your precious son also speaks nonsense and nonsense when confronting Your Majesty. Your Majesty is trying to tell me that he cares about the dignity between us as a monarch and a minister and cannot bear to be too arrogant. But the anger in my heart is really hard to calm down, so let me take this step for him!"
Lu asked curiously: "How can you vent your anger on His Majesty's behalf?"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hit the child again!"
Lu was furious: "How dare you!"
Fang Xuanling hummed: "I don't dare."
Mr. Lu was confused: "Then when your majesty asks, what do you say?"
Fang Xuanling said: "I don't dare."
Madam Lu was angry again: "Of course I know you don't dare. I ask your Majesty whether you spank your child. How do you answer?"
Fang Xuanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, rolled her eyes and ignored her.
**********
After the court meeting the next day, His Majesty Li Er left Fang Xuanling alone.
Returning to the back hall, His Majesty Li Er sat back on the couch, took a sip of hot tea, and asked, "Can Xuan Ling receive the "Living Notes"?"
Fang Xuanling said calmly: "I got it."
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Have you ever understood someone's thoughts?"
Fang Xuanling said: "I understand."
Li Er smiled: "How did you deal with your precious son?"
He was asked to punish Fang Jun severely, not because he was unable, but because he was unwilling, just like he was unwilling to punish Cheng Chubi severely. Although he was very angry, it was not a big crime after all. The punishment was severe and it hurt the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. No need.
But it’s difficult to relieve his anger without punishment. How many slaps will it take?
Where can it be so cheap! I'm too embarrassed to hit you, so I asked your father to hit me!
Fang Xuanling lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "Nothing to do."
Li Er was stunned: "Why?" Someone had hinted so clearly, but you didn't do anything. This means you shouldn't do it.
Fang Xuanling said calmly: "I don't dare."
Li Erbo was dumbfounded: "Why don't you dare?"
Is there anyone in the world who dares not hit his son?
Fang Xuanling seemed a little embarrassed. After a long while, she said, "Madam won't let me..."
His Majesty Li Er: "..."
Madam won't let...
This reason is very good and very powerful! His Majesty Li Er found himself speechless...
Looking up to the sky and letting out a long sigh, His Majesty Li Er said: "Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, if you are as afraid of your wife as you are, your name will go down in history!"
The implication is that he is just mocking Fang Xuanling for being afraid of his wife, which will surely become a laughing stock for the ages.
Little did he know that a thousand years later, not only would it not be ridiculous to be afraid of one's wife, but it would not be shameful for a man or a weaver to farm. It would also be fun to wash his wife's feet. Even if he didn't vote for recommendations while reading a book, it wouldn't be so shameless...
