"Why did the empress think of calling me?" Brother Rong asked the female official Jiayi on the way to Prince Zhongshun's palace.
Jiayi looked at the two huge dark circles on his face and said angrily: "It's not the Lord's good deeds. His deeds were spread throughout the government yesterday. If it weren't for His Highness's serious illness yesterday, , My Majesty wanted to arrest the Lord right then and there."
"How can you get caught? You didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, so why is your Majesty so angry?" Brother Rong asked with a smile.
Female official Jiayi replied: "I can't discuss royal matters. Your Majesty will know about it when you enter the palace to see me."
Looking at the profile of the female officer Jiayi's face and her small white earlobes, she felt that she had a vague aura of a loyal and shun princess. It really is true to the saying: Those who are close to vermilion are red; those who are close to ink are black.
The female officer who has been following Princess Zhongshun also learned some of the princess's demeanor.
Brother Rong came to her side, gently pulled Jiayi's sleeves, and said flatteringly: "Auntie has the best heart. It's better to reveal something in advance so that I can be prepared in my heart, so as not to go into the house and react with my head covered. I’m so angry, Madam.”
The female officer Jiayi secretly glared at the rude Lord, but she had no other blame. She lived in Ningguo Mansion for a while and was close to Grandma Rong. The prince and empress treated Jia Rong very well. Jiayi, a female official in the palace, also loves Wujiwu, and her attitude towards Brother Rong is also different from others.
Jiayi put her hands away and hid her sleeves, and said politely: "Your Majesty blocked the Dayan Gate and went to the palace to plead guilty. Why didn't you think about the reaction of the officials? Even though your Majesty has meritorious service, the emperor doesn't care about it, but he doesn't like him." I may read your book one day to despise the imperial power."
That's it, what's the matter? He and Jia Jing discussed the matter of pleading guilty and the Hubu money together, and all the consequences were foreseen.
Blocking the palace gates cannot be regarded as contempt of imperial power. According to the law, contempt of imperial power is divided into several types of crimes such as the crime of correction, the crime of correcting the edict, the crime of invalidating the edict, the crime of transgression and "great disrespect".
There is no way to punish the sins of correcting or correcting the edict, let alone abolishing the edict. To be said to be transgressive and disrespectful, this behavior was not rude to the emperor or affected the authority of the emperor.
Brother Rong said: "Auntie, just kidding, how could anyone bother to write in such a book? Today's sages would not believe it."
Jiayi said: "Although your behavior does not mean that, I am afraid that someone will deliberately misinterpret it. If you interpret it carefully, it will be the same."
"Let the queen worry about it." Brother Rong replied softly, with a warm feeling in his heart. He also understood why Princess Zhongshun thought this way. The Thirteenth Master had been implicated in the matter of seizing the heir, and the words and deeds of several princes had been deeply interpreted by hundreds of officials.
But how can we completely prevent that kind of thing?
The higher-ups are determined to deal with you. Even if you accidentally put your right foot first when crossing the palace gate, you will still be charged with disrespect. To have nothing to lose, you have to do nothing. Jia Rong had to do something this time. Eliminating the hidden dangers in Ping'an Prefecture first was better than anything else.
Brother Rong rubbed his eyes, steeled himself and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie, for reminding me."
Jiayi smiled and said nothing.
Outside Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Brother Rong followed Jiayi into the hospital through the corner gate. Go through two ceremonial gates and enter the back garden of the palace to the Linshuixuan Tower. Just looking at the female officer and Jiayi talking quietly outside, the female officer Jiayi entered the pavilion to ask for instructions, and then invited Brother Rong to enter the pavilion.
Jia Rong tidied up for a while, then walked into the pavilion and saw a charming beauty leaning on the imperial concubine's couch. There was no screen or gauze curtain to separate the room, and there were no other excessive furnishings. There was only an exquisite smoker placed in front of the imperial concubine's bed, and smoke curling up in the air.
"May the Queen be blessed." Brother Rong approached and said hello. When he saw Princess Zhongshun waving her hand and sending the maids holding fans out, he smiled and said, "The Queen is blushing. I thought it was Her Highness the Princess's sister here."
Princess Zhongshun raised her upper eyelids and glanced briefly, then closed her eyes to rest her mind, without even changing her posture.
What's wrong?
Brother Rong was confused for a moment and stood there at a loss. The two maids holding fans in the side room were also sent away, and he didn't even have anyone to ask for help. Turning back and looking outside, only Jiayi was guarding the door, hurriedly winking to the female officer Jiayi for help.
Jiayi sighed, walked into the pavilion, walked to the empress, and whispered: "Sir Rong has arrived, the empress can ask him."
Princess Zhongshun raised her eyes and glanced at Jiayi, then at Jia Rong, looking between the two of them. Closing his eyes, he leaned on the couch and said calmly: "Go out first and close the door."
Jiayi lowered her head helplessly and stood up. When she turned around, she gave Lord Rong a helpless look and slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.
For a moment, only Brother Rong and the princess were left in the room, and... the incense burner that was constantly producing incense.
The empress closed her eyes and said nothing, Jia Rong didn't know what to say, he just stayed there quietly. He glanced east and west, looking around, and felt his eyes were blurry and a little sleepy.
I tried hard to warn myself not to get sleepy, but I couldn't stop it. Until he looked directly at the princess in front of him, the bastard felt a lot less sleepy for a while.
Looking at the face of the empress with her eyes closed, she sighed and wondered what her care regimen was. Can it be made cheaply? Why is it that a man in his forties has the same skin condition as a woman in her twenties and thirties?
White and tender.
If this secret recipe plaster is to be put on the market, the grandmothers in the courtyard of the wealthy family will go crazy.
Even if it cannot be made cheaply, as long as the recipe is given to Keqing, Sister Feng and others, the women in Ningguo Mansion will be very happy. Which woman doesn’t want to stay young forever and keep her appearance unchanged? Thinking of this, Brother Rong couldn't help but smile, and he actually had his mind set on Princess Zhongshun.
Just as he was thinking about it, the empress seemed to feel something and opened her eyes to glance at him. Jia Rong was so frightened that she immediately restrained herself.
"Come here and fan me."
The gentle voice of the princess came, and Brother Rong immediately responded and walked behind the princess and held up a fan. He asked in a low voice: "Is this level appropriate?"
The empress didn't answer him, and continued to meditate with her eyes closed.
Brother Rong had no choice but to hold on. However, from this position, he could smell the orchid-like musk fragrance coming from the princess, which made him feel relaxed and energetic. Looking at the profile of the empress, she is still delicate, with her earlobes, jade neck, and thin lips all beautifully tight.
Although she was leaning back, she still looked dignified. The waist is concave and convex, and the figure is plump, leaning there like a smooth and graceful sonic curve. This kind of charm is not something ordinary women can have, let alone a young lady.
For some reason, at this moment, he actually envied King Zhongshun. Even among ten thousand noble ladies, it would be difficult to find someone with such charm. The mind just started, and I warned myself not to think nonsense. King Zhongshun and his wife treat him well, so he must not have any dirty thoughts.
After taking a few more glances at the beautiful and attractive empress, he calmed down and looked away.
However, soon I felt sleepy and couldn't open my eyes.
Alas, it was really too late for the madness last night.
