The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

He Hongfei opened the wine jar with a smile:

"Of course, I'm inviting Your Highness to drink to celebrate my becoming a military scholar, so how can I be vague? I think this is much happier than getting married, so if I don't drink now, when will I drink?"

The competition for martial arts scholars also has to go through three rounds: county examination, prefectural examination, and academy examination, except for the top scorer in the county examination.

The first place in the county examination is exempted from the prefectural examination and the imperial examination, and is directly promoted to a military scholar.

Therefore, He Hongfei only had to wait for the provincial examination in August to take the military examination. He still had half a year left, and he had nothing to do. He was bored and came to Su Fengyi for a drink, but it was just an excuse to kill time.

Su Fengyi just watched her drink and said:

"Uncle Nineteen is still in mourning, and I don't drink. If you drink this jar of wine now, what will you do when you get married? What will you drink? Aren't you afraid that Lord He will punish you again?"

Hearing Su Fengyi mention King Qingyang, He Hongfei toasted King Qingyang from afar and said:

"Alas, life is unpredictable, so enjoy life while you can. When I dug this jar of wine, I buried another one. My father won't find it. Besides, if I want to get married, I don't know when. Don't waste such a good jar of wine."

He Hongfei is two years older than Su Fengyi and is almost twenty-one, but her luck in marriage has always been bad. The main reason is that she is a playboy known to everyone in the powerful circle of the capital, except Lord He.

Among the third generation of the circle of heroes who helped Taizu conquer the world, He Hongfei was the undisputed leader of the dandies. She had done all kinds of things, such as gathering people to fight, riding horses in parades, and drinking in brothels.

When He Hongfei wanted to get married, she basically chose her candidate from among the meritorious men of the same class. However, among the third-generation men with good family backgrounds, half were her bad friends and half were her defeated opponents. It was really hard for He Hongfei to pick any one to be her husband, and she has been delayed until now.

Lord He was so anxious about this matter that he almost hanged himself, but He Hongfei didn't care much about it and wished he could have a few more years of leisure.

Su Fengyi couldn't stand her being so idle, so she asked her:

"There is still half a year until the provincial examination. What are you going to do next?"

Hearing the princess' question, He Hongfei drank his wine and felt a little lonely:

"What can I do? I'll just be idle all day long."

When men in the meritorious circle grow up, they will basically rely on their ancestors' influence to seek a job as the emperor's guard. As the emperor's personal guards, the Jinwu Guards value family background and are mainly selected from the meritorious circle.

Therefore, the Jinwu Guards were full of He Hongfei’s old acquaintances.

As long as he is a man, everyone has a place to go, but He Hongfei is a woman, she has no such place to go. Her original destination is the back house, but she doesn't want to go, so she can only waste time like this in an awkward manner.

Su Fengyi said:

"In that case, I have an errand for you to do."

……

Lu Hong's daily office is inside the north gate of the imperial palace. Su Fengyi seldom came here before, but after sending He Hongfei to the Jinwu Guard, she has been coming here for several days in a row.

At first, He Hongfei thought that the princess was worried that she would not adapt and came to see her, so he patted his chest and assured her:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Jinwu Guards are all my subordinates. If I can't even handle this little situation, I would be wasting your kindness in sending me here."

After observing for a few days, he found out that the eldest princess was actually looking for Commander Lu. He Hongfei understood the hint very well and ran away quickly, never to disturb the eldest princess again.

Every morning Su Fengyi came as soon as the palace gate opened. When Lu Hong saw her coming, he wanted to accompany her.

But Lu Hong was also responsible for all matters big and small regarding the capital's defense, and he was very busy with his daily duties, so Su Fengyi urged him to do his work.

Lu Hong just stood there, watching her refuse to leave, and Su Fengyi pushed him out:

"Don't worry, I won't leave until you come back, okay?"

Lu Hong had just gone out to do some errands. He had been eager to go home since the whole morning. At noon, he hurried back and found that she was still there. So he stood outside the door and smiled happily just by looking at her.

Su Fengyi noticed someone's gaze falling on her, so she closed the Imperial Army's deployment map in her hand, and said to him with a smile:

"You're back? Wanna have dinner together?"

Before Su Fengyi left the palace to set up her own residence, the two of them had often eaten together in the palace since they were young. But ever since Su Fengyi left the palace, such ordinary little things as eating together had become a thing of the past that could never be repeated.

Eat with her, alone.

Lu Hong nodded and agreed.

As the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Hong was deeply favored by the emperor. It was natural for him to order meals from the imperial kitchen in the palace. However, Commander Lu never exercised this right. He always ate whatever the imperial kitchen sent him.

So, as usual, when the imperial kitchen had the young eunuchs deliver meals to the officials who were doing their work in the palace, the dishes prepared for Commander Lu were the standard dishes of the day.

Then a guard rushed in like a house on fire and asked:

"Where is Commander Lu's lunch today? Show me!"

Don't offend anyone but the one holding the knife. The eunuch in the imperial kitchen saw that it was Commander Lu's men, so he personally came over, opened the lunch prepared for Commander Lu, nodded and smiled, saying:

"It is ready, sir, and is being sent. It will be sent now, it will be sent now."

The imperial guards only took one look at the food box and said:

"No, no, none of these dishes are good. How can they be so bland? Do you have any spicy ones? I want spicy ones, very spicy ones, all spicy ones. Do you have any? Quickly pack one for me."

The eunuch in the imperial kitchen was a little dumbfounded. Isn't this how they usually deliver food? Why can't they do that today?

The chief eunuch discussed:

"Spicy ones are not available yet. Can you please wait for a moment while I prepare another serving?"

How could the imperial guards wait any longer? As they spoke, they opened the food boxes for others beside them:

"It's too late to make it now. We're waiting to eat it! What about other people's food? Send it to Commander Lu first if you have anything similar. Here we have it! That's great. I'll take it."

The Imperial Guards have always been swift and decisive in doing their jobs, and this Imperial Guard was no exception. He took the food box and left, disappearing with the food box in a flash.

The chief eunuch in the imperial kitchen wanted to stop him, but he never found the chance. He didn't even know if the imperial guards heard his last words:

"This is Master Pei's dish!"

The eunuch swallowed the second half of the sentence. Lord Pei spent money in the imperial kitchen.

The cabinet also has offices in the palace, and the imperial kitchen also provides meals.

Compared to Lu Hong who is not picky and eats whatever is given to him, Pei Yu is a person who loves spicy food. In order not to treat himself badly, he specially spent money to prepare the imperial kitchen.

As a result, today, looking at the dishes delivered by the imperial kitchen, Pei Yu wondered if the money he had paid to the imperial kitchen had expired and he had forgotten to recharge it.

Otherwise, why would they serve such bland food?

Lord Pei is the second in command, the de facto head of all officials. The eunuch in the imperial kitchen is very fair and does not want to offend either the one holding the knife or the one holding the pen.

The head eunuch was also afraid that Lord Pei would get angry and vent his anger on the loss of such a big customer who was willing to spend money, so he specifically instructed the young eunuch who delivered the meal in advance how to deal with it.

So when the eunuch who brought the meal saw that Lord Pei looked unhappy, he immediately said what he had prepared:

"Master Pei, this is really not my fault. Master Lu sent someone to get it, saying that the princess wanted to eat it, and I couldn't stop him."

When Pei Yu heard this, he immediately realized the key point and asked:

"The eldest princess? The eldest princess is in the palace? Did she go to see Commander Lu today?"

The young eunuch replied:

"Yes, not only today, but also for several days in a row."

Pei Yu pondered this for several days, looked at the stack of impeachment memorials against Lu Hong in the cabinet, and smiled gently:

"I see. It's been several days."
