Chapter 131 A loud slap
“What did you say?”
Princess Yunyang stood up suddenly, her red gauze skirt shaking, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face under her temples.
Zhao Duan led a group of eunuchs to visit?
This undoubtedly sends a bad signal.
But she couldn't figure out why for a moment, but the smile that had just risen at the corner of Li Shuping's mouth disappeared instantly.
It's him!
Li Shuping's pupils shrank. At this moment, he recalled the fear of being threatened by Zhao Duan in Lihuatang that day.
Although he didn't want to admit it, since that incident, he had become afraid of this "Little King of Hell" who had become famous recently.
"Why would he bring someone to the house? Could it be that he still dares to break into the consort's house?" Li Shuping said subconsciously.
Halfway through his words, his voice became quieter.
Because he suddenly thought that with Zhao Duan's lawless character, it was really hard to tell.
After all, last night even the third-grade officials dared to break into important places like the Third Law Division, and the third-grade officials didn't take him seriously.
He was a prince-consort with no power and only a name, so being knocked on his door didn't seem to be a big deal.
Thinking of this, panic appeared on his face, and he subconsciously looked at the lady beside him:
"Yun Yang, when that evil star came, did he know about you..."
He believed that Zhao Duan came to seek revenge.
Princess Yunyang also thought of this, but felt something was wrong. She frowned and asked the servant: "You said he leads many eunuchs?"
"Yes." The servant nodded, but he couldn't explain why.
After all, in the stereotype, it is difficult to connect Zhao Duan, a foreign minister, with the mission.
Princess Yunyang frowned and ordered her servants in a cold voice to remove breakfast, sweep the courtyard, and watch what happens.
He said expressionlessly: "There is no need to stop him. If he wants to come in, let him in. I want to see what he wants."
At this moment, there was no "debauchery" in her body, but she showed the dignity of a royal noble.
A few moments.
Hearing the noise coming from outside the palace gate, Zhao Duan didn't bother to wait for anyone to announce it. After dismounting, he led a group of eunuchs behind him into the atrium.
The Prince Consort's Mansion was quite impressive. Stepping into the spacious atrium, he was surprised to see the servants sweeping the courtyard in an orderly manner.
In the main hall, a couple sat in two high-backed chairs, with hanging landscape paintings behind them.
He caught a glimpse of the consort Li Shuping. The consort who had been so useless just now was sitting upright, looking like a master.
Zhao Duan didn't bother to look at him one more time. His eyes moved and fell on the beautiful woman in a red gauze dress next to him, and his eyes lit up slightly.
I can't help but envy the prince-in-law for his good fortune...well, ignoring the number of hats.
"Zhao Jisi is so grand. He came to visit and didn't hand over a greeting card in advance. He really treated the capital as the Zhao family's back garden."
Li Shuping acted like a master in front of outsiders, his tone was faintly angry, and his eyes were looking at the eunuchs searchingly.
Can't figure out its origin.
The couple didn't move their buttocks, just sitting upright in the main hall, like officials in the high hall of the yamen.
The corner of Zhao Duan's mouth curled up, but before he could speak, a eunuch behind him stepped forward, held the volume of imperial edict in both hands, and said loudly with a straight face:
"Pass the saint's will to the consort Li Shuping, and Princess Yunyang will receive it!"
Imperial decree? !
When this voice shouted, not only the people in the palace were shocked, but also the eldest princess, who kept silent and straightened her back, looking like a cold lady.
In the history of Zhao Duan's previous life, it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the practice of kneeling to accept orders evolved.
The process of issuing imperial edicts is also very cumbersome, but the rules of the Yu Dynasty are similar to those in movies and TV series.
Princess Yunyang's pretty face changed slightly, she reluctantly got up, held up her red skirt, and walked quickly to the courtyard.
He glared at Zhao Duan hatefully, but still knelt down and squeezed out a sentence through his silver teeth: "Yun Yang... accept the order."
After she set an example, Li Shuping also hurriedly knelt down, and all the servants in the atrium knelt down together, for fear of being accused of "contempting the imperial power and disrespecting etiquette and law".
Ha... If you continue to make fun of yourself, why don't you just get out of here... Zhao Duan curled his lips.
He lowered his head and looked at the couple kneeling in front of him, raised his hand to pick up the imperial edict, unfolded it, and said lightly:
"Today, I heard that the eldest princess Yunyang is restless, so I asked the abbot of Jizhao Temple to prepare a Zen room, a green lamp, and a futon. From now on, Princess Yunyang will go to Jizhao Temple to cultivate her body and soul. I admire this."
The content of the imperial edict was short and casual, and Zhao Duan read it in just one sentence.
However, when these light words fell in Princess Yunyang's ears, they were like a bolt from the blue.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, and her charming face turned pale under the dark hair!
Although the whole person was kneeling, he still staggered, looking unbelievable.
nunnery!
Her good niece was really merciless.
There is no mention of the word "punishment" in the imperial edict, but who can't figure out what the empress means?
“The nunnery...want to send Yunyang to the nunnery?”
The consort Li Shuping was also stunned. At this moment, he didn't look happy at all. His mind buzzed, and an angry look appeared on his face, and he suddenly said loudly:
"It's you! What did you say to His Majesty?"
Although he has a low status in the family, Li Shuping understands better that if the princess falls, he will not be well off.
What is a good place in Jizhao'an?
Even if it's not a cold palace, it's not that different. Zhao Duan looked cold, looked down at him from a high position, rolled up the imperial edict casually, and looked at the eldest princess sitting next to him with a bloodless face, half-smiling but not smiling:
"Princess, you should take care of your own men and don't let them out to bite others."
Li Shuping was extremely angry, but he did not dare to resist.
It reminded Zhao Duan of the dog he kept in his hometown in his previous life. It screamed loudly when it was tied up with a chain by its owner.
But once the chain is loosened and there is no owner behind, it will just be a yellow dog with its tail between its legs and whining.
"Princess, get up and receive the order."
Princess Yunyang calmed down now. She pursed her lips, stood up slowly, and took the imperial edict.
She unfolded it and looked at it again. Each ink character on the cloth was like a cluster of arrows, piercing her again and again.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them:
"Yun Yang, take the order."
A gust of wind blows, and the bright red gauze skirt flutters, with a very low slit, and the loose skirt ripples like water waves.
Zhao Duan looked closely at this woman who had caused him a lot of trouble, but had only seen her beauty for the first time until now. He suddenly smiled and said: "Princess, won't you invite me to have a glass of water?"
…
…
Inside the mansion.
A room modeled after a Zen room, with mats on the floor and a complete set of tea sets.
As the door closed, only Zhao Duan and Yunyang were left in the room.
Outside the door is the consort who acts as the door god, and beyond that are the eunuchs waiting patiently in the courtyard.
Zhao Duan sat cross-legged on the mat, looking past the thick, door-like tea tray made of dark purple sandalwood, and a set of precious purple clay pots placed on it.
He raised his hand and picked up the exquisite tea pet that looked like a jade toad, played with it, and said with a smile:
"As expected of the items in the eldest princess's house, they are many times better than those used to entertain guests at someone Zhao's house."
Opposite him, Yunyang, who was sitting on the floor with his two white jade legs that were longer than Zhao Duan's life, was bent up. Despite the situation, Yunyang, who was still elegant, sat expressionlessly.
The upper body, which has been strictly trained by the palace etiquette officer, is straight and the back is straight, and the long neck is raised proudly.
His eyes swept over his hand indifferently, and he said with disgust: "Mr. Zhao is here to catch the autumn breeze. If you like it, take it away, so as not to have to break it into pieces and throw it away to the slaves later. "
Zhao Duan pretended to be surprised: "Why throw it away?"
Princess Yunyang stared at him and said, "I feel dirty."
Zhao Duan couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "It turns out that the princess also knows that she is dirty. In my opinion, tea pets are much cleaner than people."
The aunt of the current empress and the sister of the old emperor ignored his ridicule and said coldly: "What on earth do you want to say? Are you sitting alone with me just to talk nonsense or enjoy the victory? To show off one's strength?
You also beat my son, and you also beat my husband.
I heard that He Zheng, who only slightly offended you, was also injured by you, and Xia Jianghou was thrown into prison, and soon Xiang’s head was in danger...
Now, I am also going to be imprisoned in a nunnery. I don’t know when I will be able to come out. You should be very proud of me. "
After a pause, she said:
“Or are you still not satisfied?”
Zhao Duan gently put down the tea pet and said with a smile:
"As the saying goes, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, but I am not a petty person. However, although I have beaten all the men around you, there are still some problems with my temper, so I want to blame the eldest princess. Just charge a little interest.
After all... tomorrow, when the princess enters the nunnery, it will be difficult for me to find you. "
Interest?
Princess Yunyang was stunned for a moment and glanced at him, as if she understood something. There was a bit of disdain and contempt in her eyes. She suddenly smiled, and there was something inexplicable in her eyes.
I thought: Hey, men in the world are generally black.
Without any warning, she stretched her waist, raised her hand to pull a pillow on the ground, stuffed it into her lower back, and lay back down.
He stretched his two white python-like legs, changed into a more convenient sitting position, bit his red lips, smiled charmingly, bit his teeth gently, and raised his fingers towards Zhao Duan, charmingly:
" Come on if you are brave. Li Lang offended you, do you want his mother to apologize in person? "
She was clearly smiling, her posture was sultry, but her eyes were cold and cold.
Zhao Duan was reminded of a sentence inexplicably: half volcano, half seawater.
Then he smiled, stood up, walked around the tea table, walked to Princess Yunyang, and slowly squatted down.
With his pliers-like hands, he pinched her pointed chin and looked into her eyes with smiling eyes.
Princess Yunyang closed her eyes.
"Crack!"
A very clear sound.
Princess Yunyang opened her eyes in shock, feeling the burning pain on her face. She stretched out her hand to cover the red side of her face in disbelief.
Zhao Duan took back his hand and whispered in her ear:
"For His Majesty's sake, I will only slap you once this time. If you mess with me again next time, I will spank you."
After saying that, Zhao Duan stood up, laughed and walked out.
Princess Yunyang was left sitting sideways on the ground, covering her cheeks and remaining silent.
