Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

“Nonsense! He and Miaohan are deeply in love. If he weren't interested in women, would he be running to the Mingluan Palace every day?” Emperor Jing said displeased.

Guo Tianyang began to analyze: “This servant inquired about Taoyuan County a long time ago. Taoyuan County didn't even have a brothel at first. Although someone is operating the Snow Moon Tower now, it is actually under the name of Taoyuan County.”

“But Lord Fang has never gone to a brothel! There are very few people in the court who don't go to brothels, and it's even rarer for someone his age. It's too strange for someone who opens a brothel not to go to one!”

Guo Tianyang got more and more excited as he spoke.

Suddenly, another flash of inspiration popped into his head!

“Moreover, Your Majesty, have you noticed that Lord Fang is inseparable from that Zhang Biao? Zhang Biao plays so dirty. Ordinary people would stay far away from him. Besides… ”

The Crown Prince is in danger!

Emperor Jing's eyes twitched, and he said angrily: “Shut up! Do you even hear what you're saying? Is that appropriate? You're talking more and more nonsense!”

After saying that, his expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

He didn't believe Fang Zheng was interested in men, but the little eunuch described it so vividly. It seemed Fang Zheng was even angry about the trial marriage, which seemed a bit weird.

Moreover, this was the first time he had heard of such a situation.

Trial marriages were usually considered a good thing. No imperial son-in-law would refuse, and he had never even heard of anyone refusing.

Could Fang Zheng be different from others in this matter?

Guo Tianyang was rebuffed and shrank his head.

Seeing Emperor Jing in confusion, he couldn't help but take the initiative to explain: “Your Majesty, forgive this servant for being nosy. If Lord Fang isn't because of this reason… could it be that his body is… cough cough.”

Emperor Jing murmured: “Could it be? I don't see anything abnormal about him…”

Suddenly, Emperor Jing's expression changed, and he said seriously: “Alright! Stop discussing this kind of issue here. Summon him after court tomorrow, and We will ask him personally. Won't We know everything then?”

The happiness of his little daughter was at stake, so he had to be cautious!

......

The next day after court, Fang Zheng was summoned, as expected.

He had already prepared himself mentally.

Although the matter last night made him feel uncomfortable, it was, after all, a rule of the royal family. Trouble would be unavoidable if he didn't comply.

He could only blame this damn feudal society!

He had already said his sweet words, but it turned out to be to a stranger.

It was embarrassingly awkward.

Inside the imperial study, from the moment Fang Zheng entered, Emperor Jing's eyes sized him up and down.

Only after Fang Zheng was seated did he ask: “Fang Qing, yesterday We ordered you to try the marriage. Why didn't you?”

Fang Zheng had already prepared his lines, and he said with a serious expression: “Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling to try, but it really damages my personality.”

“Hmm, damages your personality? Where does this statement come from?” Emperor Jing asked.

Fang Zheng said: “The palace maid for the trial marriage, I only met her for the first time. Isn't that absurd?”

“What's so absurd about it! Which imperial son-in-law doesn't go through this process? If everyone acted recklessly like you, would there still be rules in the palace in the future?” Emperor Jing said speechlessly. “Besides, this is also for your future.”

“Your Majesty, even if it's for the future, we can't sacrifice the future of an innocent woman. I heard that the palace maid for the trial marriage will either be taken back to the princess's mansion or stay in the palace alone for the rest of her life. Neither choice has a good ending.”

“Your Majesty summoned me here, and I also have some things I want to say. I suggest that Your Majesty abolish this outdated custom.”

Emperor Jing frowned and said impatiently: “We're talking about your matter. Why are you being nosy and meddling with the rules of the palace?”

Fang Zheng's face was full of righteousness at this moment: “Not so! I am offering loyal advice. The imperial court is the moral example for the world. Every action must conform to its own preaching. Otherwise, how can it convince the public? Palace maids are also people, not tools.”

“Now, the people in the capital have developed the habit of reading newspapers. These outdated rules in the palace will sooner or later be spread to the people by the mouths of old palace maids leaving the palace.”

“If the people know about it, it will probably cause a great uproar in public opinion in the future. After all, no parent with a conscience would want their daughter to suffer this kind of hardship, and in the future, no commoner girl would willingly enter the palace.”

“Thinking about it this way, it will damage the reputation of the royal family, and also… ”

He just wanted to ask a simple question, but who would have thought that Fang Zheng would give a long speech here.

Emperor Jing was quite surprised and rubbed his forehead: “Hmm, hmm, what you said makes some sense. We already know about this matter and will issue an edict later.”

“So that means there's nothing wrong with your body, right? Do you want the Imperial Hospital to check you again?”

Fang Zheng's face gradually turned red.

What does that mean? Suspecting that I can't do it? Where have I shown that I can't do it!

I, Fang, the seven-eight-times-a-night man, Zheng Yi, have never lost!

Seeing Emperor Jing still staring at him, Fang Zheng silently got up and started taking off his clothes.

Under Emperor Jing's astonished gaze, Fang Zheng bared his upper body.

Flexing his biceps, he pretended to be forceful and said: “I didn't expect Your Majesty to doubt my strength. Now that things have come to this, I don't need to hide it anymore!”

Last time he was stranded in the mountains, his self-esteem was indeed hurt.

After returning to the capital, he really didn't stop exercising much, and he also had the top personal trainer, Brother Biao, personally explaining and training.

Now his small figure is also making people scream.

Not to say how awesome, eight packs are not yet available, but four packs of abs are there, and the biceps are bulging.

It can be called Peng Yuyan minus.

Emperor Jing gasped, and said uncertainly: “Why have you become so thin? Where's the meat? I remember you used to look quite normal.”

Fang Zheng's face froze: “Thin? I'm lean and strong.”

“Lean and strong? Only someone like Zhang Biao can be called lean and strong. Someone like you doesn't have any fat at all. You wouldn't even be able to withstand a single slash on the battlefield. Go home and eat more.” Emperor Jing said expressionlessly.

Battlefield?

Fang Zheng suddenly understood and silently put on his clothes.

So His Majesty admires the big-bellied figure of a military general, or the super-sized muscles of someone like Zhang Biao.

My perfect muscles are not welcome? Heh, really ancient old man's aesthetics…

Emperor Jing was also speechless. You can't even be considered remotely close to being burly!

How dare you show off such a trashy figure?

“Cough! In short, Your Majesty should be able to see that I'm not sick, and my body is extremely healthy.”

Emperor Jing sighed: “We can see that your body is fine, but your brain has always been different from ordinary people.”

Fang Zheng: “……”

“Now that things are settled, you should marry Miaohan as soon as possible. The sooner the better. We have already arranged an auspicious day with the Ministry of Rites.”

“It should be in ten days. You should go to the Ministry of Rites to ask about the etiquette. If there's anything you don't understand, be sure to ask clearly.”

“We don't want to see any more problems. Do you understand?”

Fang Zheng suppressed a smile in his heart.

Good fellow, you wouldn't agree when I begged you before.

Now that you've agreed, you're urging me on like crazy. You're really contradictory.

“I, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!”
