"Sister Lan, are you not angry anymore?" Zhuge Yu asked subconsciously, and Fang Zilan said in a drawl: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Let's go and find Lao Cao and Mo Han."
After she said that, she strode towards the Royal Garden, with Zhuge Yu following behind her, "Sister Lan, I'll go with you."
When the two of them arrived at the imperial garden, they heard a charming voice saying: "Since someone doesn't understand the rules and brings a cripple into the palace, which ruins the princess's mood, so what if I am in trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan's expression became stern, and she walked over quickly, only to see a woman in pink standing in front of Deputy Cao, looking very bossy, and her hand was about to poke Deputy Cao's face.
Vice Admiral Cao seemed to be afraid of causing trouble and did not dare to speak. Mo Han put out his hand in front of him and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Miss, we are from the residence of the Duke of Yue Kingdom. We are all invited to the palace banquet, and our names are complete." There’s nothing wrong with it, don’t go too far.”
"I just went too far?" the woman in pink said sternly: "Can you help me..." Before she could finish her words, she was whipped to the ground.
Fang Zilan shook the whip in his hand, "Which palace are you from? You are so arrogant."
"You...who are you?" The woman in pink sat up, and the maid beside her quickly helped her stand up.
Fang Zilan put away the whip and turned it around in her hand, "What do you think?"
"The Duke of Yue is here, Jinse, how dare you be so presumptuous?" The woman who had been sitting not far away watching the excitement stood up and walked in front of everyone, "Dejia has met Mr. Fang."
Fang Zilan took a look at the person in front of him. The woman was wearing a goose-yellow palace dress. Her shoulders were cut into a plain waist, and her skin was as creamy as a orchid. She was the most beautiful woman in Beijing, Li Qiyou's mother. Compatriot's sister - Princess Dejia Li Qianning.
Fang Zilan had no intention of returning the gift at all. She still had a cold face and said quietly: "Princess Dejia, is she yours?"
"Master Fang, what are you talking about?" Li Qianning smiled slightly, "Jinse is Chen Yushi's beloved daughter, and she is extremely valuable. How could she be mine? It really frustrates me."
"Really?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly. She heard clearly just now that what Miss Chen said was to spoil the princess's mood. Without Li Qianning's support, how could she, the daughter of a censor, dare to cause trouble in the imperial garden? ? Now Li Qianning has made herself clear in one sentence, which is really good.
"Master Fang..." Miss Chen spoke fearfully, "I..."
"What are you doing?" Fang Zilan cut off Miss Chen's words unceremoniously. However, before she could say anything, a man stood up and said, "Master Fang, my little sister's words are indeed rude. But you gave her a whip indiscriminately, so what's the point?"
"Your little sister?" Fang Zilan looked around, looking at the men and women in the circle, and had a suspicion in her heart. Eighty percent of the people present were family members of civilian officials. No military general would say such a thing to Vice General Cao.
"That's right." The man bowed respectfully and said, "Chen Xu of Hanlin Academy has met Mr. Fang."
"I heard that the Hanlin Academy selects talented people from all over the world." Fang Zilan said with a disdainful expression: "Why did they select Mr. Chen?"
Chen Xu was immediately furious, "Master Fang, what do you mean?"
Fang Zilan was too lazy to pay attention to them. She looked at Mo Han and Deputy General Cao and said, "Where did the prince go with Master Wei and Master Zhuge? Why did he leave you here?"
"Just now Duke Pei of the Kingdom of Jun came and said that he had something to discuss with the prince. Lord Wei and Lord Zhuge also went with him." Mo Han said in a low voice: "It's not convenient for me and Vice Admiral Cao to follow, so we will stay..."
Chen Xu was completely annoyed by the unobtrusive conversation between Fang Zilan and Mo Han. He couldn't help but clench his fist and said, "Master Fang, you are too arrogant."
"Am I arrogant?" Fang Zilan's eyes fell on Chen Xu and said word by word: "That's because you are not worthy."
Chen Xu clenched his fists loudly, and Li Qianning suddenly laughed out loud, "Today's palace banquet, please don't hurt me..."
"Apologise." Fang Zilan interrupted Li Qianning in a deep voice, "Miss Chen, Mr. Chen. And you, Princess Dejia."
Li Qianning couldn't keep her face, but she still forced a smile on her face, "Master Fang, what do you mean?"
"If it weren't for the soldiers fighting for their lives on the battlefield, I'm afraid everyone here wouldn't be as relaxed as today." The speaker was Zhuge Yu. He took two steps forward and stood next to Fang Zilan. "Vice-General Cao was injured for Da Jing. How can you let others laugh at you?"
"It turns out that this is Lord Fang's lieutenant. We didn't know it before." Chen Xu said sarcastically: "Master Zhuge, he who doesn't know is not guilty. Do you think you should just forget it? After all, if today's palace banquet makes a big fuss... …”
He didn't continue, and Zhuge Yu didn't say anything more. Instead, Vice General Cao said softly: "Boss, forget it."
"My people cannot be bullied." Fang Zilan was unmoved and looked at Chen Xu and said, "Mr. Chen, let's start with you. Do you want to apologize on your own initiative, or do you want me to use force?"
"Master Fang, I..." Chen Xu wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was tripped to the ground by Fang Zilan's whip, and knelt down in front of Deputy General Cao, "I'm not patient, and I don't like to listen to nonsense."
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Li Qianning panicked, "Master Fang, Chen Xu is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy after all. If you humiliate him like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by your Majesty?"
"Then please ask Princess Dejia to invite your Majesty to come over." Fang Zilan said, pinching the back of Chen Xu's neck. He had to lower his head and said in a low voice: "General, I'm sorry."
Fang Zilan put more force on her hand and said, "Louder, I didn't hear you clearly."
"Master Fang, you are going too far!" As soon as Miss Chen finished speaking, Fang Zilan whipped her over and dragged her to kneel next to Chen Xu.
"Master Fang, you..." Li Qianning's voice was trembling, and Fang Zilan looked over, "By the way, I just heard someone say that I broke the rules. You might as well ask Princess Dejia to tell me which rule mentions people with disabilities. No one is allowed to enter the palace?"
Li Qianning gritted her teeth and stared at Fang Zilan, but couldn't say anything. Just when the two parties were in a stalemate, a cry of "The Queen has arrived" broke the deadlock.
Fang Ziqin walked over slowly, Fang Zitong and Qiu Shui followed her, and there was a woman behind.
Fang Zilan looked over and realized that the woman behind her looked somewhat similar to herself. Could it be...
"What's going on?" Fang Ziqin smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the kneeling Chen brothers and sisters, "Mr. Chen, Miss Chen, why are you two kneeling here?"
"Master Chen and Jin Se said something wrong, Master Fang is punishing them." Li Qianning forced a smile and hid next to Fang Ziqin, "But let me tell you, Master Fang's punishment is a bit harsh."
Fang Ziqin looked at Fang Zilan and said calmly: "I wonder what Master Chen and Miss Chen said that made Master Fang want to punish them in full view of the Royal Garden?"
She made a point intentionally, how could Fang Zilan not hear it? He immediately put away the whip, but still did not give in at all, "Mr. Chen and Miss Chen made rude remarks and made fun of the lieutenants around me. I just want them to apologize."
"It's just an apology, why did Mr. Fang force the Hanlin bachelor to kneel down?" Li Qianning couldn't help but interjected. Fang Zilan glanced at her sideways, "In terms of rank, Vice General Cao is far above Mr. Chen. I dare to ask Princess Dejia, How should we deal with the following offences?"
Li Qianning turned pale. She originally thought that Vice Admiral Cao was Fang Zilan's follower, or at most a general in the household, so she allowed the Chen family brothers and sisters to stir up trouble. Who would have thought that he was actually a general with an official rank. Chen Xu's Hanlin bachelor's degree sounds nice, but if compared with a real general, it's really not worth mentioning.
"The following offense is disrespectful." Fang Ziqin slowly said: "According to law, you should be exiled."
