Chapter 11: Please show mercy to the adults
This chief minister seems to have a different kind of aura.
He just stood there, even if he didn't speak, the eyes of everyone present fell on him.
If the beauty of Mr. Su Xiu, the top name in Nanfeng Pavilion, is extremely aggressive and dangerous, then the beauty of Chief Pei is inviolable and noble.
He is like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Even if he is just greedy and covets, it feels disrespectful.
But now, that figure who looked like a banished immortal appeared in the Nanfeng Pavilion.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Qiao Zhi's forehead.
Earlier tonight, he had prepared to stay, but his servants hurriedly came to report that the chief minister wanted to invite him to go with him to check the ethics and rectify official practices.
Although he didn't understand what the chief assistant wanted, Qiao Zhi naturally did not dare to disobey the chief assistant's order, so he quickly changed his clothes and followed him to the Nanfeng Pavilion.
Seeing Princess Zhaoming here, Qiao Zhi finally came to his senses.
——Master Shouxu, you must be trying to punish this princess!
After all, when the First Assistant was still a scholar, this princess was arrogant and domineering, committed all kinds of evil, and even "invited" the First Assistant to live in the princess' mansion without knowing the right rules!
Nowadays, Princess Zhaoming is no longer favored, and the Chief Assistant is the mainstay of the government and the public!
There is a huge disparity in status between the two. It seems reasonable for the chief assistant to want to avenge the humiliation he suffered back then!
Qiao Zhi forced himself to speak: "Sir, what should we do next?"
A man's elegant voice came from above his head: "Master Yushi, just do business, don't worry about my presence."
"Ah?" Qiao Zhi was a little confused, "Then... I will let someone check it out first..."
What does "official business" mean?
Qiao Zhi secretly cursed in his heart.
After giving a wink to the officers and soldiers next to them, the officers and soldiers nodded and led the people to start checking the identity of the Nanfeng Pavilion guests.
Most of the people who come to Nanfeng Pavilion to have fun are widows of wealthy families and a few men with good reputations in Longyang.
Qiao Zhi just took a glance and found that except for Princess Zhaoming, there was no reputable person in the court who dared to come here without any hesitation.
So, Qiao Zhi took a deep breath and stood in front of Jiang Jinshuang.
Jiang Jinshuang actually had the same idea as Qiao Zhe: Pei Du brought people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate here at night, probably because he wanted to make her unhappy.
Not to mention she is a princess, even if ordinary people come to this Nanfeng Pavilion to have fun, according to the laws of Wanjin, the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot do anything to her.
So Jiang Jinshuang is not very worried about this.
Qiao Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth and bowed slightly to Jiang Jinshuang: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Lu Xiao stood beside Jiang Jinshuang, calmly.
Jiang Jinshuang did not shy away from anything, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Master Yushi, you still do your duties and work diligently so late, I really admire you."
Qiao Zhi laughed twice.
He naturally knew that Jiang Jinshuang was mocking him, so he slightly raised his hand and said, "Why is Her Royal Highness here?"
Jiang Jinshuang blinked: "Your Majesty, what you said is strange. Naturally, I am here to have fun."
He didn't know if it was Qiao Zhi's illusion, but he felt that after the princess said these words, the gaze of the chief assistant behind him seemed to become more intense.
The katydids are like thorns on the back.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Well... Your Highness, why don't you say hello to the Chief Assistant... please be submissive..."
Just like Jiang Jinshuang said, even if she came to the Nanfeng Pavilion to have fun, everyone in the capital would only criticize and ridicule her.
It was a consensual transaction, even if the government came, she would still talk about it.
Qiao Zhi was pulled over to check his conduct. If he was an official or minister, he could still punish him in the name of picketing, but this royal heir was not under his jurisdiction in the first place!
Hearing Qiao Zhi say this, Jiang Jinshuang smiled sarcastically: "Should I surrender to him?"
Why should she give in to him?
For some reason, Jiang Jinshuang suddenly remembered that she had had many quarrels with Pei Du many years ago. Pei Du was old-fashioned and pedantic. Even if she behaved in a way that was not in line with royal behavior, he would severely reprimand her.
Sometimes Jiang Jinshuang even felt that the person she invited back was not a young man named Langrun, but a rigid, stupid old antique!
Jiang Jinshuang couldn't remember the specific reason. In short, she had a fierce argument with Pei Du that time. Jiang Jinshuang, who was so eloquent and feared by everyone, was so angry that Pei Du could not speak. !
"Pei Du! If you really don't want to see me, I will never come to see you again!"
"There is no need for you to sound stern and discipline me like a superior academy gentleman!"
Pei Du also seemed to be angry and said in a cold tone: "Your Highness has done something wrong. If no one dares to comment, he will make a big mistake sooner or later."
"That's my business and has nothing to do with you!"
He didn't know how this sentence stung the man's mind. He looked at Jiang Jinshuang and nodded slightly: "Since it has nothing to do with me, Your Highness doesn't have to come to me several times a day to save peace and quiet."
For many days afterwards, the Princess Mansion was shrouded in an indescribably weird atmosphere.
Jiang Jinshuang really didn't go to Pei Du's dormitory for five or six days in a row.
Later...
Jiang Jinshuang couldn't remember clearly what happened next.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She only remembered one night when she was drunk.
Everything that happened after that was relayed to her by Pei Du.
Pei Du told her that after she got drunk that night, she walked into his room at night, cried to him, and said many words of apology and submission.
Of course, Jiang Jinshuang had no impression of this at all.
At that time, the man was sitting in front of the book desk, holding the spine of the book with one hand, and said in a cold tone: "Since His Highness has admitted his mistake, I will forgive His Highness."
Anyway, somehow, the two reconciled.
For some reason, this past incident suddenly appeared in Jiang Jinshuang's mind.
——It seems that in front of Pei Du, she is always the one who makes the mistake.
You need to admit your mistakes to him, and you need to get his forgiveness.
In the past, she pursued him wishfully regardless of her status, so she treated Pei Du with such caution, but she tolerated it.
Now, Jiang Jinshuang refused.
——She didn’t do anything wrong, why should she give in?
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes gradually fell from Qiao Zhe to Pei Du's face in the distance.
The man's eyes were clear and indifferent, just like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, reflecting the world without partiality.
Pei Du also cast his gaze over and met her eyes.
She showed an almost provocative smile towards Pei Du.
"I am right, let alone give in to him."
The silver hook hangs high, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
Qiao Zhi's face became even more solemn and ugly.
Just when he lowered his head and was about to say something more, he heard footsteps behind him.
The man stood beside him, and his voice came from above his head: "Go back with me."
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes flashed with confusion.
go back? Where to go back?
She raised her eyes to look at the graceful man in front of her and raised her lips slightly: "Master Chief Assistant is here to arrest me?"
