As soon as we started eating, we saw the servant come in and whisper a few words in the official's ear.
Emperor Dechang was stunned for a moment, then said: "I understand." He continued to eat.
The chamberlain stepped back knowingly.
The Queen Mother saw it and asked, "What's going on?"
Emperor Dechang smiled: "It's okay."
The Queen Mother's face darkened, and she put down her chopsticks: "Is it possible that there are some state affairs that need to be discussed during the meal?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was not happy, Emperor Dechang said quickly: "Don't worry, Mother. It's really not a big deal. I just came to report that Princess Minghui went to Jingzhao Mansion to report that she had been robbed and identified the perpetrator as..."
Speaking of his name, Emperor Dechang also paused: "He is the Lord of Yong'an County."
"Ha~" Zhao Yanqing, the eldest son of Marquis Jinxiang, laughed immediately and was glared at by Mrs. Marquis Jinxiang.
Mu Hanqing's chopsticks stopped. Zhao Fuling was so courageous. It wasn't enough to rob him. Now she extended her claws to others. How can he marry this female bandit? I hope this time things will be bigger and his own father will give up.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother laughed: "It's really not a big deal. Even if it is, it's just a child's play." She motioned to the palace maid next to her to bring a piece of hibiscus meat roll from far away.
"The Queen Mother is right." Emperor Dechang smiled, and then waited for the Queen Mother to pick up the chopsticks and eat together.
Mu Hanqing was stunned. This was a robbery, in the capital, at the feet of the emperor. Is it because Zhao Fuling saved him that the Queen Mother and the officials were selectively blind because of their love for each other?
After eating, washing hands, gargling, and preparing to sit down for a while, he set off to the tower to watch the ceremony and enjoy the fun with the people.
Another chamberlain came over in small steps. When the Queen Mother saw her, she asked leisurely: "What's the matter? Could it be the matter of Yong'an County Lord again?"
Emperor Dechang motioned to his chamberlain to tell him in front of his face.
The chamberlain saluted, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The Queen Mother guessed correctly, it is indeed the matter of Yong'an County Lord." Although the words were a bit sharp, he sounded so happy.
"Princess Minghui went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue County Lord Yongan for robbing her."
Emperor Dechang frowned: "I just came to report it."
"The official's warning is that Princess Minghui has sued her again, saying that she was robbed by Yong'an County Master again."
"Been robbed again?" Emperor Dechang was stunned.
At this time, Zhao Yanqing didn't care that Mrs. Jin Xianghou glared at him again, covered her mouth, and smiled long enough before talking.
Emperor Dechang almost covered his head. Why did Zhao Fuling commit robbery again? This matter was a little unsolvable: "What does the Lord of Yong'an County say?"
"The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture naturally did not dare to neglect and sent the message to County Lord Yong'an. County Lord Yong'an did not plead guilty for the first time. Princess Minghui said that she had been robbed of five gold leaves and wanted to take the stolen goods from the thief. As a result, the first-class attendants around County Lord Yong'an took out the stolen goods. The money that came out was almost that much. The second time I went to tell her, Yong'an County Princess didn't go, and she got angry. He said that he had sued her for robbery the first time, and then sued her the second time. Minghui County Princess was not tired, she We all feel tired. How can there be such powerful bandits? If you rob once, you will rob again." The waiter spoke vividly, and it would be a pity not to use it as a storyteller.
"Haha~" Zhao Yanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, regardless of whether it was a breach of etiquette or not.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh: "This is a series of robberies. It's really hard to say whether it's emotional or rational. There may be some misunderstanding. The officials will investigate carefully. Punish where they deserve, scold where they deserve, but don't scare them. A child."
If you still have children, you can get married according to the law. But being too good at saying this is obviously biased. Everyone smiled apologetically, knowing it all.
Emperor Dechang responded: "It's the queen mother. I'll go and find out."
The queen mother nodded. At this time, the female official came in and said that it was almost time. Everyone got up and set off.
At this time, Xining was sitting in the upstairs seat of the teahouse. After drinking tea, he went to the tower to watch the ceremony. Although I had to kneel and kowtow to the tower when I went there, it was a rare occasion when I saw the grand occasion and felt a little aggrieved.
A follower opened the door and walked in, then closed the door and walked to the table: "Fortress leader, it's done."
After speaking, he took out a cloth bag from his clothes, placed it on the table and opened it.
Inside were several large banknotes and three small gold bars. The gold bars are naturally made by melting the pure gold headband, while the silver notes are made after taking off the jade bracelets and pendants. The price of gold jewelry is the same after pawning it. After simply melting it, the value is still higher, so you can keep it and use it slowly.
Xining picked up the banknotes and counted them. There were five hundred taels: "Is the place of shipment safe?"
"Absolutely safe, the goods may have left the capital at this time." In addition to the capital, the prosperous Jiangnan can also sell such good jade bracelets.
The pair of bracelets alone should be worth a thousand taels, but if you go into a pawn shop, you might only be willing to pay three hundred taels, or even lower. So I gave five hundred taels, which is considered a good deal. After all, you have to take a certain risk. If the owner recognizes and traces it, you will lose everything.
She put down the banknote and said to Taohong: "Put it away." Today was really a full day. A princess could be robbed and get a thousand taels of silver into her account. The capital is really a good place.
At this time, the Minghui County Lord was crying in the mansion. At this time, she could be said to be truly embarrassed. Her hair, which was originally deliberately messed up, became even more messy, and all her jewelry was snatched away. He was tied up tightly, bumped into the maid who was thrown into the car, and fainted.
After the bandits left, the people in the mansion tried their best to wake her up, and she went back to Jingzhao Mansion to complain.
"Damn Zhao Fuling, she still doesn't admit it. It's obviously her who robbed it. How can she deny it by covering her face?" Minghui County Lord has never suffered such a loss since she was a child. She cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. Red and swollen.
Princess Wei shed tears along with her, and asked King Wei who was walking around next to her: "Your Highness is a prince, the late emperor's prince, and your daughter has been humiliated, and you plan to let it go like this?"
King Wei saw this and felt pain in his heart. But I always felt that this moment was unusual, so I scolded: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. It's not like you haven't seen Zhao Fuling today. When you came back, you said that her features and eyes looked like Concubine Feng. Also, you know that Zhao Fuling is Even if you are favored, you still let your daughter do whatever you want. Fortunately, she took all the blame, otherwise we don’t know how this matter will end. If nothing happens these days, don’t go out, and wait quietly to return to the fiefdom in a few days.”
Princess Minghui cried even more now. Why should she be grounded for suffering, while Zhao Fuling is still happy and free? This is unfair.
"Stop crying!" King Wei said irritably: "I know you admire Prince Zhongyong and want to take it out on Zhao Fuling. I'm telling you now that their marriage has been decided, so you should give up. And you, wait until I get back. The fief, quickly pick a good family, marry her, and then stay and cause trouble."
Princess Wei, who was scolded at the same time, could only remain silent and lowered her head to accompany her crying daughter.
The servants outside the door ran in and shouted: "Oh no, the Crown Prince of Wei said he wanted to avenge the county master, so he ran out to find the county master Yong'an!"
"What?" King Wei was startled and jumped up: "You haven't chased me back yet."
"I can't catch you back! I've gone far away long ago."
"Then why don't you send someone to look for it? If you find it, stop it immediately!"
A lot of excitement.
