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

Several guards started talking about palace gossip and secrets, especially the absurd things that happened when the eldest princess was young. They got excited and started talking about all of them, one basket after another.

The protagonist of the secret, Princess Su Fengyi, naturally didn't know any of this. After she entered the palace, she neither went to the harem nor to the front court, but went straight to the Leopard Room in the West Garden of the palace.

As everyone knows, the emperor does not like beauties and seldom returns to the harem. He does not like government affairs and almost never attends court. He has only two hobbies: ferocious beasts and the sound of stringed instruments. Therefore, he often lingers in the Leopard House in the Western Garden, a cozy nest built specifically for the emperor by the factory owner.

There are all kinds of ferocious beasts in the Leopard Room, including tigers, elephants, leopards and bears. The emperor's new favorite is a white tiger, which was a tribute of auspiciousness from the King of Pingliang some time ago.

King Pingliang, the male protagonist in the original book, is the fourth among Taizu's sons and the fourth uncle of Su Fengyi and the emperor.

Taizu was a strong and energetic man. He had 22 sons and no daughters in his life.

People want what they lack, and even the emperor is no exception.

Having too many sons is worthless, but having no daughters is a rarity.

Taizu had wanted a daughter for many years but failed to get one. Otherwise, he would not have doted on his first granddaughter, Su Fengyi, and conferred the title of Princess Ningguo on her as soon as she was born.

In comparison, the male protagonist of the book, King Pingliang, received much less favor and attention from Taizu.

The biological mother of King Pingliang was just a talented woman, and she was not favored when Taizu was alive, otherwise the prince would not have been enfeoffed in Pingliang, a barren place.

Therefore, the more the emperor indulges in pleasure and the more bad things he does, the worse his reputation becomes, and the more reasons the Prince of Pingliang has for rebellion.

In order to please the emperor and add to his absurd reputation, the white tiger presented by King Pingliang was captured from Nanzhao with great effort.

Hard work pays off. The emperor got the white tiger. He was no longer happy, but he didn't want to take care of business anymore. During this period, he almost never attended court, and then never attended court at all.

When Su Fengyi arrived at the main entrance of the Leopard House, she saw several cabinet ministers blocking the door and arguing with the guards at the door:

"This matter is of great importance. Is it the will of His Majesty or the will of the factory owner? We must meet with His Majesty to ask for clarification!"

"The Emperor is in poor health and is resting. He is not seeing anyone. Please go back, my Lords."

The imperial guards had followed the emperor for a long time, and they knew very well that the emperor hid in the Leopard Room just to avoid being alone, and he was hiding from these ministers, so naturally he was unwilling to let the cabinet in.

These ministers are just a bunch of weak scholars. They have no martial arts skills at all. When they fight, they are no stronger than a rooster.

However, civil officials are first-rate at using their pens to kill people, preaching, persuading, and even dying for their advice, and when it comes to reciting rules, even the Great Sage cannot stop them.

The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, which was a rebellious time. What he hated most was rules, and what he loved most was excitement.

Since he was a child, the emperor has been annoyed by his ministers' nagging about rules, so he has a rebellious mentality towards his ministers. He opposes everything that the ministers support and agrees with everything that the ministers oppose. He doesn't want to see the ministers at all, nor listen to a word they say.

In comparison, the eunuchs who did everything according to his wishes and thought of ways to play all kinds of tricks with him were naturally more liked by the emperor.

Su Fengyi saw that the entrance was blocked by ministers and estimated that she could not rush through.

She was really afraid of the lectures from the civil officials, so seeing that they were arguing loudly, she patted the horse and whispered to it:

"Little White Dragon, Little White Dragon, let's sneak in quietly, don't make any loud noises, do you understand? We must not be discovered."

The man and the horse, like thieves, held their breath and took small, ticking steps, preparing to slip into the door silently.

However, a sharp-eyed minister saw it and shouted:

"It's the eldest princess!"

Someone else shouted:

"Stop the princess, don't let her run away!"

Done!

Su Fengyi wanted to run away as soon as she could, but it was too late.

The leader, the Deputy Prime Minister Song, opened his arms, blocked the way, stood in front of the door, and asked loudly:

"Does the Princess want to go into the Leopard Room to see the Emperor?"

Ever since Prime Minister Yang Ge Lao suffered a stroke due to the Emperor's anger three years ago, the affairs of the court are now being handled by Second Prime Minister Song.

Lord Song had to persuade the Emperor to make progress and fight with the Ninth Prince. The nearly seventy-year-old Lord Song was exhausted and looked very weak. His hair had turned white and his body was thin. The court robes hung loosely on his body, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Su Fengyi dared to kick Eunuch Gao on horseback, but she didn't dare to do the same to Lord Song. She was really afraid that Lord Song would be killed by a slight bump from the horse's hoof.

Being stopped by Lord Song, Su Fengyi could only laugh it off and pretend to be stupid:

"The emperor is resting, and I can't see him. The lotus flowers in the Leopard House are blooming. I'm going to enjoy them. You guys go about your business, don't worry about me."

Upon hearing this, Lord Song strode forward, and regardless of whether the princess was willing or not, he pulled Su Fengyi's horse reins and said to the ministers:

"You guys go back first. Your Highness is in a good mood. I will help you appreciate the lotus."

After saying that, he pulled Su Fengyi's little white dragon towards the Leopard Room.

It is known that the emperor has ordered that ministers are not allowed to enter the Leopard Room.

I also know that Taizu has ordered that the eldest princess can go wherever she wants in the palace and no one is allowed to stop her.

So please explain, if Lord Song wants to let Princess enter the Leopard Room, should we stop her or not?

The guards calculated over and over again but could not figure out the answer to the question. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They could only watch as Lord Song and the eldest princess entered the Leopard Room with their guards and the princess' horse.

Lord Song led the little white dragon all the way to the lake, as if he really wanted to help Su Fengyi appreciate the lotus flowers.

When they reached the open area by the lake and saw that there was no one around, Lord Song let go of Little White Dragon's horse reins, looked at Su Fengyi, his eyes reddened, and he knelt down and cried bitterly on the spot:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, My Highness..."

The crying was so sad and endless that if someone didn't know, they would think Su Fengyi was dead.

Su Fengyi was really speechless. How big of a deal would it take for her to receive such a big gift?

She hasn't finished her own business yet, and General Shen's life is still hanging in the balance. She really doesn't want to get involved in Lord Song's affairs.

But it was not a good idea for an old man who was almost seventy years old to keep crying like this. Given his physique, Su Fengyi was worried that he might cry himself to death.

Su Fengyi got off the horse, stood two steps away from him, sighed and asked:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lord Song said nothing, and continued to lie on the ground and wail:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Late Emperor, the Late Emperor..."

Since Su Fengyi left the palace to set up her own government, she stopped her studies and had little contact with these ministers. She wondered if the ministers had changed their strategy and had stopped caring about people and started making them cry instead.

Lord Song was a great weeping man. Su Fengyi was so overwhelmed by his crying that she felt like she was about to split a headache. She couldn't stand it any longer and asked:

"You cry day and night, cry to the sky and the earth, cry to the emperor above and cry to the earth below, how can you get things done just by crying?

All right, tell me what you want to do, and I will do it for you if it is doable."
