Princess is stubborn
Chapter 19, Drunk
After Xu Yuyao returned to the palace, she went straight to the emperor.
The emperor who had just left court was still in his study reviewing the newly handed-in memorial when he heard someone outside say that the princess asked to see him.
The emperor immediately put down the memorial in his hand: "Let her in quickly."
"Father—" Xu Yu Yao hadn't come in yet, but his voice had already arrived.
When Xu Yuyao walked in, the emperor asked, "Why did you come back a few days earlier than planned? Did you encounter any unpleasant things?"
Before they came back, some guards sent back the news that the princess would return to Beijing early, but the reason was not mentioned in the news.
"Oh? How does the father know?" Xu Yuyao sat down on the chair next to him, and began to say everything he wanted to say during this time.
After Xu Yuyao finished voicing her bitterness, the sky outside also turned dark.
After the emperor heard her disappointment with the queen's hesitant attitude, he quickly hid his hesitation and said, "It's getting late, is Yao'er hungry? Father is already so hungry that his chest is on his back, and the rest , how about talking while eating?"
The emperor didn't even think about it, but Xu Yuyao also felt that the temple of the five viscera was empty.
I thought that food could divert her attention, just like every time in the past, but this time it was beyond the emperor's expectation.
Instead of being distracted, Xu Yuyao took only a few quick bites of the meal, put down his chopsticks, and began to focus on those unfinished thoughts.
The emperor heard one head and two big ones, but felt that the rice in his mouth was not very delicious.
After Xu Yuyao finished speaking, she looked at the emperor expectantly: "Father, what do you think of my minister's proposal?"
proposal?What proposal?Xu Yuyao said many things in one breath, and the emperor felt that he hadn't had time to figure out which one was which.
But meeting Xu Yuyao's gaze, the emperor couldn't say that he was confused, so after much deliberation, he gave the safest answer: "I have to think about this matter, why not wait until tomorrow, when I will call you three emperors?" Brother enters the palace, let him help you think about it together?"
"Third brother..." Xu Yuyao hesitated. Last time in court, the crown prince's attitude was not much better than that of the queen, but since he wanted to implement something, he really had to tell the third brother who is the crown prince. One said.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuyao nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. The daughter still has something to do, so I will go back first."
"Wait……"
Before the emperor could say "wait a minute", Xu Yuyao had already run away.
When Xu Yuyao returned to her bedroom, the first thing she did was to ask Bell to call all the palace people to one place.
"From now on, everyone is going to look for books and law books for me! No matter which dynasty or generation, before I wake up tomorrow morning, I must see all the law books I can find are placed here."
Looking at the people below, everyone looked bewildered, Ling Dang said: "Did you hear clearly?"
A group of people had no choice but to respond: "Here."
After Xu Yuyao went to take a bath, the palace people began to discuss in twos and threes.
"What's the matter today, Your Highness? Why do you suddenly want to read a book?"
"Didn't she hate reading the most before?"
"This time I went to Suizhou, I heard that Xie Xiaohou also went together. Could it be that the princess is ignorant and was rejected by the young master?"
"Do you dare to say that? If the princess finds out..."
"Still talking too much here!" Ling Dang suddenly came out, "There are only five hours left, why don't you hurry to find a book? If you can't find it, watch out that the princess will get up and punish you tomorrow!"
Hearing the sound of the bell, the palace people who had gathered together to discuss immediately dispersed.
It's just that they didn't go far away, and they didn't consciously gather together.
"Even if you are disgusted by the young master, if you want to read a book, you should read "Female Virtue" and "Female Commandments", right? Shouldn't you be reading the Four Books and Five Classics? Reading the laws of the past dynasties? What is this strange hobby of the young master? ?”
"Who knows. The young master is all weird, so it's not surprising that he has some strange hobbies."
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"Oh yes, you hadn't entered the palace at that time. You know that the young master once served as a companion to His Highness for three years, right? At that time, the princess asked the young master to play with her. If it was too late, the young master would be kept. Stay in the palace for one night. At that time, I was sent to serve the young master several times."
"And then?"
"Whether it's bathing or going to bed, the young master never wants to be served. Once a sister wanted to stay and serve him to bed, but the young master resolutely kicked him out. I suspect him..."
"Huh? Young Master is not a womanizer?"
The person who was interrupted glared at the person speaking, and continued: "Where are you thinking! I just think that there might be a big secret hidden in the young master, that's why it's so weird."
"What's the big secret?"
"How do I know? If I know, is it still a secret?"
Overnight, all the courtiers in the princess' bedroom knew that the future son-in-law, the young prince of Changping Hou's mansion, was carrying a big secret.
"Master, a guest is looking for you."
As soon as Xie Bai got up and finished washing, he heard the report from the porter and asked, "Who?"
"It's your classmate at Gyeonggi Academy."
Frowning slightly, Xie Bai thought for a while, and he could probably guess who was here. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Xie Bai thought about it, and went back to change his clothes before rushing over.
Before he got to the front hall, Xie Bai had already heard the noisy voices of those people.
Before going in, Xie Bai deliberately coughed twice to remind them.
The voices inside stopped for a moment, and after Xie Bai came in, they frolicked again.
"Congratulations, little lord, congratulations, little lord!" Teng Yue was the most out-of-the-ordinary one among the group, and immediately cupped his fists and said with a smile.
The person next to him bumped him with an elbow and said, "Didn't you see our young master is frowning? Congratulations."
"That's right, what's so good about marrying that tigress." Another person said.
When the three of them were talking to each other, Xie Bai had already walked to the host seat and sat down: "Brothers, you shouldn't be here today to see my jokes, right?"
The fourth person said: "How could it be? It's just that the school is on holiday, and I heard that you followed the princess to Suizhou and came back from illness, so I came to visit you."
"Before you...were you really sick or um?" Teng Yue asked.
In fact, Xie Bai didn't pretend to be sick at all, but he was too anxious at the time and fell ill all of a sudden, but they probably wouldn't believe him when he said he was really sick.
Therefore, Xie Bai skipped this question: "Thank you four, I am completely fine. I don't know what the master has said in recent days?"
"No way, Young Master, are you sure you're going to mention the school when we meet?"
"That's right! My brothers came here to ask you to drink!"
"You finally recovered from your illness, but you are going to get married in a few days. After you marry that tigress, I just want you to come out for a drink in the future. My brothers are afraid of being chopped down by that tigress."
Xie Bai felt uncomfortable no matter what they said about the "Tigress" one by one: "You may have misunderstood the princess."
The four curled their lips, Teng Yue suddenly approached, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that before you accompanied the princess to Suizhou, she asked someone to kill a disciple and made a big fuss in the county government. Is this true or not?" ?”
Xie Bai frowned slightly, but did not answer directly: "What do you think?"
"We all felt it was true."
"I also heard that she wants those women who have been defiled to come forward and report to the authorities. It's really... whimsical."
"Whose daughter has been defiled, I can't hide the news, how can I sue the officials. The princess is really spoiled."
Xie Bai frowned more and more.
Seeing this, the four of them thought that he didn't like to hear about the princess, so they quickly changed the subject: "Let's go for a drink. Congratulations to our young master Xie for recovering from his serious illness!"
"I..." Xie Bai wanted to refuse.
"If you don't go, you won't treat us as friends!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Bai had no choice but to compromise.
Maybe he can stop treating them as friends, but the Changping Hou Mansion can't keep away from their families.
Today is Xiumu, but the prince received a communication from the palace early in the morning, saying that the emperor called him into the palace to discuss important matters.
This is the first time the prince has seen the emperor so urgently "important".
Along the way, the prince couldn't help thinking about it: Is there a fight in the west?Or is there a rebellion in the south?Is it the north that wants to marry?still……
By the time he arrived at the emperor's study, the prince had already made himself very nervous.
Seeing the emperor, the prince's first words were: "Father, what happened?"
The emperor looked sad and sighed.
The crown prince suddenly felt a chug in his heart: "Could it be that there is really a fight in the west?"
"Oh, that's not true. In the past three to five years, the vitality of the west side will be severely damaged, and they will not be able to fight anymore." The emperor said, "It's a rumor."
"Could it be that the north side wants to marry, say to marry Yao'er?" The prince panicked even more.
"No, the north side has been very honest recently." The emperor shook his head, "It's Yao'er who went to Suizhou this time..."
"Could it be a rebellion in the south?!"
"..." The emperor felt a little uncomfortable when he was interrupted, "Li'er, don't worry, it's nothing. It was Yao'er who went to Suizhou this time, and saw that there was a chastity archway set up for a woman who committed suicide for fame, and she was very angry. , so after I came back, I asked me to talk about some ideas."
"Oh—" the prince breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again, "What did Yao'er say?"
The emperor repeated Xu Yuyao's appeal and said, "I am already at this age, and the world will still be yours in the future, so I want to hear what you think about this matter."
During the time when Xu Yuyao went to Suizhou, the prince had just suppressed the previous incident, but he did not expect that Xu Yuyao would encounter similar things when he went to Suizhou.
For a while, the prince didn't know whether it was Xu Yuyao's bad luck or Daqi's rule.
The prince shared his thinking some time ago, and said: "I think that Yao'er's idea is not unfeasible. Before, I thought that since there are brothels, there should not be many such cases. But Yao'er The experience of several times made Erchen see something different."
The emperor thought so too.
What they can see and hear every day is nothing more than writing about big and important cases. Such small cases usually don't reach the palace, and over time, they think that they don't exist.
The prince continued: "I believe that all evils are evil, no matter how big or small, and since they are evil, they should be punished. But as Ruoer said, this kind of case is very special, and hesitating women's fancy to fame makes The wicked can always get away with it, which really conflicts with my Daqi's philosophy of governing the country."
"In your opinion..."
"My minister thinks that Yao'er's proposal to pass on a letter to the woman who reported to the official is feasible. As for the matter of asking for a title, my minister thinks that it is not feasible." The prince said and shook his head.
"I think so too. Since that's the case, let's make it so." The emperor said, "It's just right, you haven't seen Yao'er since you came back, so you can go and answer Yao'er for me."
Prince: "... yes."
This kind of thankless task, father really dare not face Yao'er by himself!hateful.
Xu Yuyao got up early in the morning and saw a room full of books. She was very satisfied and waved her hand. All those who participated in the book search last night received two taels of silver per person.
The palace people who had been looking for books all night yawned endlessly, Xu Yuyao couldn't help but yawned after reading it, and simply drove everyone to sleep.
In the huge room, only Xu Yuyao and Ling Dang were left.
Bell said: "Your Highness, there are so many books, when do you want to see them?"
"Take your time, you will finish it one day." Xu Yuyao said without raising her head.
When the prince came in, what he saw was Xu Yuyao sitting in the pile of books, looking at the books seriously.
After exiting, the prince looked at the sun in the sky, but he didn't come out to the west. When he walked in again, it was still the picture of Xu Yuyao reading a book seriously.
"Yao'er, why do you suddenly want to read a book?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuyao looked up from the book and turned to look at the prince.
"Why is third brother here?"
"I have something to tell you." The prince walked in, and glanced at the book she was reading - the criminal law of the previous dynasty?And the criminal laws of the previous dynasty?
Xu Yuyao casually put the bookmark inside, stood up and looked around, pulled out a place, put a stool and said, "Third Brother, sit down and talk. Bell, go make tea."
"No need," the prince looked, and there is no place to put the teapot here, "Your father asked me to tell you about the matter you talked to my father after you came back yesterday."
"Oh? What did the emperor say?"
The prince told the final result he had finalized with the emperor, and observed Xu Yuyao's expression while talking.
I saw Xu Yuyao neither happy nor sad, as if he just heard an unimportant news.
The prince asked: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"No, I'm just thinking about other issues." Xu Yuyao picked up the book again and said while flipping through it.
"What's the problem? Can the third brother help you?"
Xu Yuyao patted himself on the thigh and said, "That's right, third brother is well-versed in the past and present, so he must know!"
Although he has always been praised by people outside, the prince is still very happy every time his baby sister praises him, especially after being faced by her with that disappointed expression before.
The prince said, "Let's hear it?"
"I thought, just to encourage women to report to officials, but the criminals only get a light punishment, which can't be used as a deterrent." Xu Yuyao said, "So I wondered, can I find a punishment that can be used in punishment? While killing this criminal, it can also make other people with the same thoughts dare not do evil again."
In the eyes of the crown prince, Xu Yuyao has always been a carefree little girl who doesn't like reading. Although she has many ghost ideas, she never seems to have any serious ideas.
However, in recent times, the prince had to change his view of her.
Xu Yuyao continued: "I originally planned to kill people directly, but Xie Bai told me later that killing people is indistinguishable from homicide. When the time comes, the thief knows that he will die, and he will probably do the same. kill each other."
Did Xie Bai make her change?The prince couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.My younger sister, who couldn't be changed by the whole family, actually made such a big change for such a short and thin brat!It's really frustrating...
The prince decided that, as his own brother, he had to find some ground: "In the past, there was a punishment called castration. However, after the royal inner court used more eunuchs, castration was gradually abolished. If Yao'er wants to punish such thieves, Thinking about it, castration should be the most effective."
"Then castration!"
Seeing Xu Yuyao's happy expression, the prince felt that he was probably not compared to that brat Xie Bai.
After solving this problem, Xu Yuyao finally remembered what the crown prince said to himself when he first arrived: "Why don't we start with that woman first?"
"what?"
"It's passing the book and erecting the monument!" Xu Yuyao blinked and looked at him expectantly.
The prince froze immediately.
Seeing the crown prince's silence, Xu Yuyao asked, "Is there any question?"
The prince waved his hand: "No, no. Aren't you going to get married soon? Don't worry about it. You shouldn't worry about leaving this matter to the third brother, right?"
"Then I'll trouble third brother." Xu Yuyao stood up, stretched her waist, and moved her stiff body.
"By the way, the princess mansion is almost cleaned up, do you want to go and have a look?" The prince thought, before he could solve the problems left by himself, he had to find something for Xu Yuyao to divert her attention.
Xu Yuyao glanced outside from the window, the sun is shining today, it is indeed suitable for going out, so she said: "Then I will go and have a look."
When she was three years old, the princess mansion had already chosen the site and built the house, but it was not until a while ago, after her marriage was settled, that the emperor asked someone to tidy up the inside.
Xu Yuyao had never seen it.
Xie Bai stood at the entrance of Chunfeng Building, looked at the plaque on it, smelled the faint fragrance of powder in the air, and refused to take a step forward no matter what.
Teng Yue pushed her from behind: "Young Master, come in?"
Xie Bai frowned: "Didn't you mean to eat? Why did you come here?"
"I just came here to eat." Teng Yue pushed Xie Bai in with a little effort as he said.
During the day, the brothel is very quiet, just like the Fengyage Pavilion in Suizhou before, no one can be seen.Only a few servants were sweeping the floor and wiping the tables in the hall.
Seeing someone coming in, the boy said, "At this hour, the girls are still resting."
"Who said we came to find a girl, we just came to eat and drink."
The boy was speechless: "Our place is a brothel, not a restaurant."
"You go down first." The old bustard came out from the back hall, drove all the servants away, and came over to say hello familiarly, "The four young masters are here? Or the old place?"
"Naturally." Teng Yue nodded.
The bustard glanced at Xie Bai who was caught in the middle, and asked with interest: "Which family is this young master from? First time?"
"This is the son-in-law of our Daqi future, mother will take good care of her!"
"So it's Lord Xie Xiaohou!" The bustard led the five of them to a room in the back hall.
Xie Bai glanced in from the door, only to see that there was only one dining table in the room, and there were no other strange things, so he was slightly relieved.
"Today, I'm here to thank you, the young master, to celebrate your recovery from a serious illness. Don't hide any good wine that mom has, and call us all!"
"Okay, young masters, please wait."
After the bustard left, Xie Bai finally said, "Why don't you go to a restaurant for dinner?"
"You don't understand," Teng Yue said with a smile, "There is no restaurant in the capital that can taste better than Chunfenglou."
Xie Bai was dubious.Although she has never been to a brothel, she also knows that there are no customers here during the day, and she is wondering how good the food and drinks here are?
Since there were no other guests, the food and drinks were served very quickly.
The bustard brought in two jars of wine with someone, put them on the table, and said, "This is the best girl's red wine brewed by our number one lady Pingping. You are lucky."
"Yo, mom is so generous this time, isn't it because of the face of our Lord Xie Xiaohou?"
"No matter what, Mr. Teng's face is enough for my mother and me to serve these two jars of wine. It's just that the wine was too short earlier, and it didn't taste good after drinking." After explaining, the old bustard took it from Teng Yue. After a stack of bank notes, he smiled and retreated to the door, "Masters, use it slowly."
The sealing soil on the wine jar was slapped away, and the cork wrapped in red cloth was opened, and a faint scent of flowers mixed with the smell of wine soon permeated the room.
Teng Yue went out and said a few words, and soon came in with a person dressed as a maid: "You girls haven't gotten up yet, so you will pour the wine for everyone."
The servant girl skillfully picked up the wine jar, poured the wine into the jug, and filled the jug with wine for the five people one by one.
"For this first cup, let's toast and thank the young master. He will be a son-in-law in the future, and the future is boundless!"
Xie Bai held the wine glass, thanked him, and drank it down with everyone.
He also went out to drink with them before, and he knew how much he could drink, so he dared to drink with them.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" After drinking one cup, he was not in a hurry to drink a second cup.
Xie Bai picked up the chopsticks and caught an elbow.The elbow is stewed so soft that it melts in the mouth, and the skin of the elbow is not greasy at all, it is really delicious.
"I heard that the girls in the brothels in Suizhou are much more handsome than those in the capital. I wonder if Ziqing saw one or two when he went to Suizhou this time?"
"Don't think Ziqing is the same as you! He has never been to a brothel in the capital, let alone accompanied the princess to Suizhou."
"That's right, if Ziqing dared to go to the brothel in Suizhou, he might have been buried by the Suizhou lake by now."
"Hahahahaha!"
The four of them laughed, as if they had heard some great joy.
Xie Bai ignored them and just ate his own food.She doesn't know if the girls in Suizhou are handsome or not, but Miss Jingzhe's words are more interesting than the chats of these classmates.
"That's right, Ziqing."
Xie Bai raised his eyes: "What?"
"This time going to Suizhou, did something happen between you and the princess?"
Xie Bai frowned, thinking that the friends he knew before had become like this.
Another person glared at him and said, "The empress has gone too, how is that possible! Thanks to you, you can ask such a silly question!"
"Hey, brother Teng just took a concubine a few days ago, and the people who sing and sing every night are only thinking about the boudoir."
Tencent scratched his head: "This is not the first time to take a concubine, it's a novelty."
"For the second cup, let's respect brother Teng and get a beautiful concubine!"
Xie Bai was the last to pick up the wine glass - she already wanted to leave.
"Don't just talk about me," Teng Yue put down his glass and said, "The brothers are about to reach the age of finding a roommate, and you will know the beauty of it by then."
"It's just a pity that our young master is gone. After becoming a son-in-law, don't even think about taking concubines."
Xie Bai said coldly, "I don't need it either."
"Facing the brothers, Ziqing, don't be stubborn."
"That's right! How about it!"
"what?"
"Miss Pingping of the Chunfeng Building doesn't easily pick up guests on weekdays. Why don't we brothers pay together so that the young master can have a good time with Miss Pingping tonight?"
As soon as the voice fell, the room fell into silence.
With a "click", Xie Bai slapped the chopsticks on the table: "If you guys keep doing this, I will take my leave first."
The four quickly stopped them: "Don't, don't, it's my brother who said something wrong."
"That's right, talking nonsense! Don't you want to put Ziqing to death!"
The person who spoke was also afraid for a while: "I am out of my mind, if the princess knows about this..."
The four of them looked at each other and shuddered.
After not continuing this topic, Xie Bai sat back to eat again.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little drunk, Xie Bai wanted to let it go, but the four of them took turns persuading them to drink, and in the end, they ended up drinking directly.
Xie Bai was not very strong, and after drinking some wine, he couldn't hold back the four of them.Consciousness gradually became blurred, and Xie Bai felt that the situation was beginning to be a little bad.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a strong fragrance of cosmetics rushed out of the alcohol, and penetrated into Xie Bai's nostrils.
Excited by the smell, Xie Bai suddenly regained consciousness, waved his hands and said, "I don't want to drink anymore, I really can't drink any more."
"Young Master, let the slave family serve you and go upstairs to rest?"
The girls who came in from outside the door each found a young master to join them.
Xie Bai tried his best to keep himself awake, turned his head and glanced and said, "No...no need."
Standing up staggeringly, Xie Bai felt that he seemed to be able to walk at the moment, so he decided to leave this dangerous place before he fainted completely from drunkenness.
Seeing that Xie Bai was about to leave, the other four also pushed away the girl beside them to stop him.
One said: "Don't go, Ziqing, the girls came downstairs for us."
The other said: "That's right, and the princess won't know about your coming here."
Probably because of Jiu Zhuang's timidity, Teng Yue said directly: "Even if the princess knows, so what, can you really cut off your son-in-law?"
Xie Bai shook his head, thinking: She won't cut me off, but she will find a chain to lock me up.
The last one said: "Xie Bai, if you don't eat all the meat in your mouth, you are still not a man!"
"I'm a man, but this doesn't conflict with my going." Xie Bai broke out in a cold sweat, almost thinking that he had been exposed, and tried to tell himself in his heart, remember your identity.
It's too easy to slip up when you're drunk, and Xie Bai doesn't have the slightest chance to slip up.She could only tell herself over and over in her heart.
Xie Bai insisted on leaving, and the four followed behind and insisted on staying, so they chased to the street.
A carriage approached from a distance, Xie Bai wanted to hide, but his body was no longer in control.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit, the horse slowly stopped.
The door opened, and Xu Yuyao came out of the carriage with a displeased expression on her face. She glanced at the five drunks under the carriage, and then at the bright red plaque next to her——Chunfenglou.
Xu Yuyao's expression became colder and colder, so cold that the four of them woke up immediately after drinking, and wanted to run away.
"You four, stop for me!"
"Grassmen see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" The four had no choice but to go forward and salute.
"Teng Yue, Jiao Yuanqing, Yu Jun, Liu Wenlin, the four of you took Xie Bai to the brothel?"
The four were still arched and trembling.
In the end, Teng Yue came out and explained: "No, it's just a meal... I heard that the young master has recovered from his serious illness, Cao Min and the other three brothers wanted to celebrate with the young master."
"The celebration went to the brothel?"
Xu Yuyao's carriage was parked in the middle of the road, and people had already come out to watch the fun at the gate of Chunfeng Building.
Xie Bai was standing in front of the carriage, his ears were ringing and his body was staggering, as if he was about to fall, but fortunately Xu Yuyao's guard stepped forward and supported him.
"Ling Dang, go and help Xie Bai to my palace!"
Even though he was still some distance away, Xu Yuyao could still see the drunken look on Xie Bai's face.
Ling Dang was a little reluctant, and after being glared at by Xu Yuyao, she had no choice but to get out of the car and help Xie Bai, and carried him over.
Xie Bai's consciousness has been lost at this moment, and he can't recognize who is in front of him, he can only see a woman, and immediately said: "Although I am a man, I will not spend the night with you."
Hearing this, Xu Yuyao's face suddenly sank.
"Xie Bai, who do you think I am!"
However, Xie Bai was unable to reply anymore, he leaned against the bell and fell asleep with his body tilted.
Xu Yuyao simply got out of the car and walked up to the four of them: "What did you take her for?"
The four shook like chaff: "Really... I didn't do anything, I just ate and drank."
"It's just eating and drinking. How could the first thing she said when she met Ben Gong be 'I'm a man, but I won't spend the night with you'!"
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" The four of them were sweating one after another, and the alcohol was gone. "If you don't believe me, the mother of Chunfenglou is here. The princess can ask her to come over and ask!"
"Go, call someone over."
Teng Yue was about to call for someone, but Xu Yuyao said again: "You are not allowed to go."
Teng Yue watched Xu Yuyao's guards go by, and realized that she didn't call them just now.
The old bustard was called over, and she looked like she was watching a show: "Mr. Teng, what's the matter?"
"Mom, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess." With one word, Teng Yue signaled the bustard to speak more leisurely for a while.
"I ask you, what did the four of them take Xie Bai to do?"
Having lived in Beijing for many years, the bustard who knew Xu Yuyao's deeds clearly did not dare to speak nonsense, and immediately said: "I just ate and drank, and I didn't do anything else, really!"
"really?"
"Damn, really."
"If Bengong finds out that you and the four of them lied to Bengong..."
The old bustard said: "Even if the princess gives the grass-roots a few more courages, the grass-roots will not dare to lie to the princess!"
"I will give you one last chance. You run a brothel. Your girl wants to make money and survive. I don't need to blame you, but if you lie to me... then I just want to let you go, and I can't even find you." Here's the reason."
When the old bustard heard this, he immediately repented and changed his words: "It's just that after drinking too much, Mr. Teng asked Cao Min to call the girls down, but! The young master is upright, even if he is drunk, he will never be sorry Princess thing!"
Seeing Xie Bai's neat clothes, Xu Yuyao naturally believed that Xie Bai had done nothing, but this did not mean that she could forgive the actions of the other four.
After sending the bustard back, Xu Yuyao said coldly, "You four, follow the carriage and follow Bengong. If Bengong got off the carriage, no one saw you..."
Needless to say, the four of them automatically filled in their hearts.
Xu Yuyao got into the carriage and asked the coachman to carry Xu Yuyao into the carriage together with Ling Dang, and then continued to drive towards the princess mansion with the carriage.
She didn't expect that as soon as she left the palace, she would run into Xie Bai who ran out of the brothel drunk.
The location of the brothel was not too far from the princess mansion, but in order to keep up with the speed of the carriage, the four of them dared not slow down a step, so they forced themselves to run to the gate of the princess mansion.
The gate of the Princess Mansion is very grand, even more luxurious than the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as several people arrived at the place, they immediately collapsed on the ground, like a puddle of mud, or like a fish out of water, with their heads up and their mouths open, out of breath.
Xu Yuyao got off the carriage, glanced sideways at them, and asked Ling Dang and the coachman to take Xie Bai down.
"Send it to the bedroom." Xu Yuyao asked the guards to send Xie Bai back first, then turned to the other guards and said, "Bring these four people to the front hall and wait for me."
After speaking, Xu Yuyao hurried towards the bedroom.
The guard put Xie Bai on the bed, and was kicked out by Xu Yuyao.
The one who was kicked out together was Bell.
"Your Highness is becoming more and more eccentric." Bell, who was kicked out, was a little unhappy.
The guard said: "Miss Ling Dang, that's the son-in-law after all."
Xu Yuyao in the room didn't know that Ling Dang was complaining outside, but looked at Xie Bai who was sweating all the time, stretched out his hand, and pushed him: "Wake up."
Xie Bai was in a daze, only feeling a pair of very soft hands touching him, so he tried to open his eyes immediately.
But she was really drunk too much, and she couldn't regain her consciousness at this moment.
"Xie Bai, do you still recognize who I am?" Xu Yuyao asked, seeing her half-opened eyes with blurred eyes.
However, these words fell into Xie Bai's ears, and he became "you are a woman" in a daze.
Xie Bai immediately denied: "No, I'm a man!"
Xu Yuyao's face darkened, and said: "Xie Bai, this lie has been told for a long time, do you even believe it yourself?"
However, Xie Bai was completely unconscious at the moment, and could only repeat "I am a man, I am really a man".
Xu Yuyao saw that she was so drunk and unable to communicate at all, she got up angrily, shook her sleeves, walked to the door, and backed away.
Pulling off the brand new thin blanket covering her body, Xu Yuyao stretched out her index finger and pointed at her forehead: "You! When you sober up, I will settle the score with you again!"
Ling Dang watched Xu Yuyao come out, and said, "Your Highness, thanking the young master is too much!"
"Okay." Xu Yuyao was very annoyed at the moment, and just wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.
The people who were brought to the front hall by the guards were leaning on a pillar, still panting.
The sound of panting mixed with the smell of alcohol made Xu Yuyao even more annoying: "Let me hear your panting again, and you won't have to pant for the rest of your life!"
The four of them shut their mouths immediately, their faces slowly turning red.
"Teng Yue, the four of you are so courageous! If you don't learn well, you will let Liao go, and you even dare to take Xie Bai to drink flower wine!"
Teng Yue wanted to explain why he wanted to drink but failed, but he didn't dare, he could only listen.
When they were in Gyeonggi University, they were fortunate or unfortunate to be classmates with Xu Yuyao for three years.In the past three years, no one in the whole school, except Xie Bai, could escape Xu Yuyao's clutches.
For Xu Yuyao's fear, they can be said to have been engraved in their blood.
Choosing to invite Xie Bai to drink today is also a calculation. Xu Yuyao has just returned to Beijing, and she must have a good gathering with the emperor, prince, and princess in the palace. Who would have thought that she would leave the palace at this hour. Coincidentally, he also took the road where the Spring Breeze Building is located!
God is going to kill me!Teng Yue shouted in his heart.
"I heard that you recently took a concubine?"
Teng Yue shuddered, and replied, "Back... back to Your Highness, yes."
"Aren't you going to encourage Xie Bai to take a concubine?"
As soon as Xu Yuyao said this, the four of them couldn't help but tremble.How could Xu Yuyao know about their conversation?Did Xie Bai say that?He pretended to be drunk?
Seeing the expressions of the four people, Xu Yuyao knew what they were thinking, and said with a sneer: "With your little thoughts, do I still need to listen to others? If you have any thoughts, you can't wait to write them on your face!"
Several people quickly lowered their heads.
"Is it fun to drink flower wine? Is it exciting to drink flower wine with my son-in-law?"
The emperor who had just left court was still in his study reviewing the newly handed-in memorial when he heard someone outside say that the princess asked to see him.
The emperor immediately put down the memorial in his hand: "Let her in quickly."
"Father—" Xu Yu Yao hadn't come in yet, but his voice had already arrived.
When Xu Yuyao walked in, the emperor asked, "Why did you come back a few days earlier than planned? Did you encounter any unpleasant things?"
Before they came back, some guards sent back the news that the princess would return to Beijing early, but the reason was not mentioned in the news.
"Oh? How does the father know?" Xu Yuyao sat down on the chair next to him, and began to say everything he wanted to say during this time.
After Xu Yuyao finished voicing her bitterness, the sky outside also turned dark.
After the emperor heard her disappointment with the queen's hesitant attitude, he quickly hid his hesitation and said, "It's getting late, is Yao'er hungry? Father is already so hungry that his chest is on his back, and the rest , how about talking while eating?"
The emperor didn't even think about it, but Xu Yuyao also felt that the temple of the five viscera was empty.
I thought that food could divert her attention, just like every time in the past, but this time it was beyond the emperor's expectation.
Instead of being distracted, Xu Yuyao took only a few quick bites of the meal, put down his chopsticks, and began to focus on those unfinished thoughts.
The emperor heard one head and two big ones, but felt that the rice in his mouth was not very delicious.
After Xu Yuyao finished speaking, she looked at the emperor expectantly: "Father, what do you think of my minister's proposal?"
proposal?What proposal?Xu Yuyao said many things in one breath, and the emperor felt that he hadn't had time to figure out which one was which.
But meeting Xu Yuyao's gaze, the emperor couldn't say that he was confused, so after much deliberation, he gave the safest answer: "I have to think about this matter, why not wait until tomorrow, when I will call you three emperors?" Brother enters the palace, let him help you think about it together?"
"Third brother..." Xu Yuyao hesitated. Last time in court, the crown prince's attitude was not much better than that of the queen, but since he wanted to implement something, he really had to tell the third brother who is the crown prince. One said.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuyao nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. The daughter still has something to do, so I will go back first."
"Wait……"
Before the emperor could say "wait a minute", Xu Yuyao had already run away.
When Xu Yuyao returned to her bedroom, the first thing she did was to ask Bell to call all the palace people to one place.
"From now on, everyone is going to look for books and law books for me! No matter which dynasty or generation, before I wake up tomorrow morning, I must see all the law books I can find are placed here."
Looking at the people below, everyone looked bewildered, Ling Dang said: "Did you hear clearly?"
A group of people had no choice but to respond: "Here."
After Xu Yuyao went to take a bath, the palace people began to discuss in twos and threes.
"What's the matter today, Your Highness? Why do you suddenly want to read a book?"
"Didn't she hate reading the most before?"
"This time I went to Suizhou, I heard that Xie Xiaohou also went together. Could it be that the princess is ignorant and was rejected by the young master?"
"Do you dare to say that? If the princess finds out..."
"Still talking too much here!" Ling Dang suddenly came out, "There are only five hours left, why don't you hurry to find a book? If you can't find it, watch out that the princess will get up and punish you tomorrow!"
Hearing the sound of the bell, the palace people who had gathered together to discuss immediately dispersed.
It's just that they didn't go far away, and they didn't consciously gather together.
"Even if you are disgusted by the young master, if you want to read a book, you should read "Female Virtue" and "Female Commandments", right? Shouldn't you be reading the Four Books and Five Classics? Reading the laws of the past dynasties? What is this strange hobby of the young master? ?”
"Who knows. The young master is all weird, so it's not surprising that he has some strange hobbies."
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"Oh yes, you hadn't entered the palace at that time. You know that the young master once served as a companion to His Highness for three years, right? At that time, the princess asked the young master to play with her. If it was too late, the young master would be kept. Stay in the palace for one night. At that time, I was sent to serve the young master several times."
"And then?"
"Whether it's bathing or going to bed, the young master never wants to be served. Once a sister wanted to stay and serve him to bed, but the young master resolutely kicked him out. I suspect him..."
"Huh? Young Master is not a womanizer?"
The person who was interrupted glared at the person speaking, and continued: "Where are you thinking! I just think that there might be a big secret hidden in the young master, that's why it's so weird."
"What's the big secret?"
"How do I know? If I know, is it still a secret?"
Overnight, all the courtiers in the princess' bedroom knew that the future son-in-law, the young prince of Changping Hou's mansion, was carrying a big secret.
"Master, a guest is looking for you."
As soon as Xie Bai got up and finished washing, he heard the report from the porter and asked, "Who?"
"It's your classmate at Gyeonggi Academy."
Frowning slightly, Xie Bai thought for a while, and he could probably guess who was here. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Xie Bai thought about it, and went back to change his clothes before rushing over.
Before he got to the front hall, Xie Bai had already heard the noisy voices of those people.
Before going in, Xie Bai deliberately coughed twice to remind them.
The voices inside stopped for a moment, and after Xie Bai came in, they frolicked again.
"Congratulations, little lord, congratulations, little lord!" Teng Yue was the most out-of-the-ordinary one among the group, and immediately cupped his fists and said with a smile.
The person next to him bumped him with an elbow and said, "Didn't you see our young master is frowning? Congratulations."
"That's right, what's so good about marrying that tigress." Another person said.
When the three of them were talking to each other, Xie Bai had already walked to the host seat and sat down: "Brothers, you shouldn't be here today to see my jokes, right?"
The fourth person said: "How could it be? It's just that the school is on holiday, and I heard that you followed the princess to Suizhou and came back from illness, so I came to visit you."
"Before you...were you really sick or um?" Teng Yue asked.
In fact, Xie Bai didn't pretend to be sick at all, but he was too anxious at the time and fell ill all of a sudden, but they probably wouldn't believe him when he said he was really sick.
Therefore, Xie Bai skipped this question: "Thank you four, I am completely fine. I don't know what the master has said in recent days?"
"No way, Young Master, are you sure you're going to mention the school when we meet?"
"That's right! My brothers came here to ask you to drink!"
"You finally recovered from your illness, but you are going to get married in a few days. After you marry that tigress, I just want you to come out for a drink in the future. My brothers are afraid of being chopped down by that tigress."
Xie Bai felt uncomfortable no matter what they said about the "Tigress" one by one: "You may have misunderstood the princess."
The four curled their lips, Teng Yue suddenly approached, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that before you accompanied the princess to Suizhou, she asked someone to kill a disciple and made a big fuss in the county government. Is this true or not?" ?”
Xie Bai frowned slightly, but did not answer directly: "What do you think?"
"We all felt it was true."
"I also heard that she wants those women who have been defiled to come forward and report to the authorities. It's really... whimsical."
"Whose daughter has been defiled, I can't hide the news, how can I sue the officials. The princess is really spoiled."
Xie Bai frowned more and more.
Seeing this, the four of them thought that he didn't like to hear about the princess, so they quickly changed the subject: "Let's go for a drink. Congratulations to our young master Xie for recovering from his serious illness!"
"I..." Xie Bai wanted to refuse.
"If you don't go, you won't treat us as friends!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Bai had no choice but to compromise.
Maybe he can stop treating them as friends, but the Changping Hou Mansion can't keep away from their families.
Today is Xiumu, but the prince received a communication from the palace early in the morning, saying that the emperor called him into the palace to discuss important matters.
This is the first time the prince has seen the emperor so urgently "important".
Along the way, the prince couldn't help thinking about it: Is there a fight in the west?Or is there a rebellion in the south?Is it the north that wants to marry?still……
By the time he arrived at the emperor's study, the prince had already made himself very nervous.
Seeing the emperor, the prince's first words were: "Father, what happened?"
The emperor looked sad and sighed.
The crown prince suddenly felt a chug in his heart: "Could it be that there is really a fight in the west?"
"Oh, that's not true. In the past three to five years, the vitality of the west side will be severely damaged, and they will not be able to fight anymore." The emperor said, "It's a rumor."
"Could it be that the north side wants to marry, say to marry Yao'er?" The prince panicked even more.
"No, the north side has been very honest recently." The emperor shook his head, "It's Yao'er who went to Suizhou this time..."
"Could it be a rebellion in the south?!"
"..." The emperor felt a little uncomfortable when he was interrupted, "Li'er, don't worry, it's nothing. It was Yao'er who went to Suizhou this time, and saw that there was a chastity archway set up for a woman who committed suicide for fame, and she was very angry. , so after I came back, I asked me to talk about some ideas."
"Oh—" the prince breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again, "What did Yao'er say?"
The emperor repeated Xu Yuyao's appeal and said, "I am already at this age, and the world will still be yours in the future, so I want to hear what you think about this matter."
During the time when Xu Yuyao went to Suizhou, the prince had just suppressed the previous incident, but he did not expect that Xu Yuyao would encounter similar things when he went to Suizhou.
For a while, the prince didn't know whether it was Xu Yuyao's bad luck or Daqi's rule.
The prince shared his thinking some time ago, and said: "I think that Yao'er's idea is not unfeasible. Before, I thought that since there are brothels, there should not be many such cases. But Yao'er The experience of several times made Erchen see something different."
The emperor thought so too.
What they can see and hear every day is nothing more than writing about big and important cases. Such small cases usually don't reach the palace, and over time, they think that they don't exist.
The prince continued: "I believe that all evils are evil, no matter how big or small, and since they are evil, they should be punished. But as Ruoer said, this kind of case is very special, and hesitating women's fancy to fame makes The wicked can always get away with it, which really conflicts with my Daqi's philosophy of governing the country."
"In your opinion..."
"My minister thinks that Yao'er's proposal to pass on a letter to the woman who reported to the official is feasible. As for the matter of asking for a title, my minister thinks that it is not feasible." The prince said and shook his head.
"I think so too. Since that's the case, let's make it so." The emperor said, "It's just right, you haven't seen Yao'er since you came back, so you can go and answer Yao'er for me."
Prince: "... yes."
This kind of thankless task, father really dare not face Yao'er by himself!hateful.
Xu Yuyao got up early in the morning and saw a room full of books. She was very satisfied and waved her hand. All those who participated in the book search last night received two taels of silver per person.
The palace people who had been looking for books all night yawned endlessly, Xu Yuyao couldn't help but yawned after reading it, and simply drove everyone to sleep.
In the huge room, only Xu Yuyao and Ling Dang were left.
Bell said: "Your Highness, there are so many books, when do you want to see them?"
"Take your time, you will finish it one day." Xu Yuyao said without raising her head.
When the prince came in, what he saw was Xu Yuyao sitting in the pile of books, looking at the books seriously.
After exiting, the prince looked at the sun in the sky, but he didn't come out to the west. When he walked in again, it was still the picture of Xu Yuyao reading a book seriously.
"Yao'er, why do you suddenly want to read a book?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuyao looked up from the book and turned to look at the prince.
"Why is third brother here?"
"I have something to tell you." The prince walked in, and glanced at the book she was reading - the criminal law of the previous dynasty?And the criminal laws of the previous dynasty?
Xu Yuyao casually put the bookmark inside, stood up and looked around, pulled out a place, put a stool and said, "Third Brother, sit down and talk. Bell, go make tea."
"No need," the prince looked, and there is no place to put the teapot here, "Your father asked me to tell you about the matter you talked to my father after you came back yesterday."
"Oh? What did the emperor say?"
The prince told the final result he had finalized with the emperor, and observed Xu Yuyao's expression while talking.
I saw Xu Yuyao neither happy nor sad, as if he just heard an unimportant news.
The prince asked: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"No, I'm just thinking about other issues." Xu Yuyao picked up the book again and said while flipping through it.
"What's the problem? Can the third brother help you?"
Xu Yuyao patted himself on the thigh and said, "That's right, third brother is well-versed in the past and present, so he must know!"
Although he has always been praised by people outside, the prince is still very happy every time his baby sister praises him, especially after being faced by her with that disappointed expression before.
The prince said, "Let's hear it?"
"I thought, just to encourage women to report to officials, but the criminals only get a light punishment, which can't be used as a deterrent." Xu Yuyao said, "So I wondered, can I find a punishment that can be used in punishment? While killing this criminal, it can also make other people with the same thoughts dare not do evil again."
In the eyes of the crown prince, Xu Yuyao has always been a carefree little girl who doesn't like reading. Although she has many ghost ideas, she never seems to have any serious ideas.
However, in recent times, the prince had to change his view of her.
Xu Yuyao continued: "I originally planned to kill people directly, but Xie Bai told me later that killing people is indistinguishable from homicide. When the time comes, the thief knows that he will die, and he will probably do the same. kill each other."
Did Xie Bai make her change?The prince couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.My younger sister, who couldn't be changed by the whole family, actually made such a big change for such a short and thin brat!It's really frustrating...
The prince decided that, as his own brother, he had to find some ground: "In the past, there was a punishment called castration. However, after the royal inner court used more eunuchs, castration was gradually abolished. If Yao'er wants to punish such thieves, Thinking about it, castration should be the most effective."
"Then castration!"
Seeing Xu Yuyao's happy expression, the prince felt that he was probably not compared to that brat Xie Bai.
After solving this problem, Xu Yuyao finally remembered what the crown prince said to himself when he first arrived: "Why don't we start with that woman first?"
"what?"
"It's passing the book and erecting the monument!" Xu Yuyao blinked and looked at him expectantly.
The prince froze immediately.
Seeing the crown prince's silence, Xu Yuyao asked, "Is there any question?"
The prince waved his hand: "No, no. Aren't you going to get married soon? Don't worry about it. You shouldn't worry about leaving this matter to the third brother, right?"
"Then I'll trouble third brother." Xu Yuyao stood up, stretched her waist, and moved her stiff body.
"By the way, the princess mansion is almost cleaned up, do you want to go and have a look?" The prince thought, before he could solve the problems left by himself, he had to find something for Xu Yuyao to divert her attention.
Xu Yuyao glanced outside from the window, the sun is shining today, it is indeed suitable for going out, so she said: "Then I will go and have a look."
When she was three years old, the princess mansion had already chosen the site and built the house, but it was not until a while ago, after her marriage was settled, that the emperor asked someone to tidy up the inside.
Xu Yuyao had never seen it.
Xie Bai stood at the entrance of Chunfeng Building, looked at the plaque on it, smelled the faint fragrance of powder in the air, and refused to take a step forward no matter what.
Teng Yue pushed her from behind: "Young Master, come in?"
Xie Bai frowned: "Didn't you mean to eat? Why did you come here?"
"I just came here to eat." Teng Yue pushed Xie Bai in with a little effort as he said.
During the day, the brothel is very quiet, just like the Fengyage Pavilion in Suizhou before, no one can be seen.Only a few servants were sweeping the floor and wiping the tables in the hall.
Seeing someone coming in, the boy said, "At this hour, the girls are still resting."
"Who said we came to find a girl, we just came to eat and drink."
The boy was speechless: "Our place is a brothel, not a restaurant."
"You go down first." The old bustard came out from the back hall, drove all the servants away, and came over to say hello familiarly, "The four young masters are here? Or the old place?"
"Naturally." Teng Yue nodded.
The bustard glanced at Xie Bai who was caught in the middle, and asked with interest: "Which family is this young master from? First time?"
"This is the son-in-law of our Daqi future, mother will take good care of her!"
"So it's Lord Xie Xiaohou!" The bustard led the five of them to a room in the back hall.
Xie Bai glanced in from the door, only to see that there was only one dining table in the room, and there were no other strange things, so he was slightly relieved.
"Today, I'm here to thank you, the young master, to celebrate your recovery from a serious illness. Don't hide any good wine that mom has, and call us all!"
"Okay, young masters, please wait."
After the bustard left, Xie Bai finally said, "Why don't you go to a restaurant for dinner?"
"You don't understand," Teng Yue said with a smile, "There is no restaurant in the capital that can taste better than Chunfenglou."
Xie Bai was dubious.Although she has never been to a brothel, she also knows that there are no customers here during the day, and she is wondering how good the food and drinks here are?
Since there were no other guests, the food and drinks were served very quickly.
The bustard brought in two jars of wine with someone, put them on the table, and said, "This is the best girl's red wine brewed by our number one lady Pingping. You are lucky."
"Yo, mom is so generous this time, isn't it because of the face of our Lord Xie Xiaohou?"
"No matter what, Mr. Teng's face is enough for my mother and me to serve these two jars of wine. It's just that the wine was too short earlier, and it didn't taste good after drinking." After explaining, the old bustard took it from Teng Yue. After a stack of bank notes, he smiled and retreated to the door, "Masters, use it slowly."
The sealing soil on the wine jar was slapped away, and the cork wrapped in red cloth was opened, and a faint scent of flowers mixed with the smell of wine soon permeated the room.
Teng Yue went out and said a few words, and soon came in with a person dressed as a maid: "You girls haven't gotten up yet, so you will pour the wine for everyone."
The servant girl skillfully picked up the wine jar, poured the wine into the jug, and filled the jug with wine for the five people one by one.
"For this first cup, let's toast and thank the young master. He will be a son-in-law in the future, and the future is boundless!"
Xie Bai held the wine glass, thanked him, and drank it down with everyone.
He also went out to drink with them before, and he knew how much he could drink, so he dared to drink with them.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" After drinking one cup, he was not in a hurry to drink a second cup.
Xie Bai picked up the chopsticks and caught an elbow.The elbow is stewed so soft that it melts in the mouth, and the skin of the elbow is not greasy at all, it is really delicious.
"I heard that the girls in the brothels in Suizhou are much more handsome than those in the capital. I wonder if Ziqing saw one or two when he went to Suizhou this time?"
"Don't think Ziqing is the same as you! He has never been to a brothel in the capital, let alone accompanied the princess to Suizhou."
"That's right, if Ziqing dared to go to the brothel in Suizhou, he might have been buried by the Suizhou lake by now."
"Hahahahaha!"
The four of them laughed, as if they had heard some great joy.
Xie Bai ignored them and just ate his own food.She doesn't know if the girls in Suizhou are handsome or not, but Miss Jingzhe's words are more interesting than the chats of these classmates.
"That's right, Ziqing."
Xie Bai raised his eyes: "What?"
"This time going to Suizhou, did something happen between you and the princess?"
Xie Bai frowned, thinking that the friends he knew before had become like this.
Another person glared at him and said, "The empress has gone too, how is that possible! Thanks to you, you can ask such a silly question!"
"Hey, brother Teng just took a concubine a few days ago, and the people who sing and sing every night are only thinking about the boudoir."
Tencent scratched his head: "This is not the first time to take a concubine, it's a novelty."
"For the second cup, let's respect brother Teng and get a beautiful concubine!"
Xie Bai was the last to pick up the wine glass - she already wanted to leave.
"Don't just talk about me," Teng Yue put down his glass and said, "The brothers are about to reach the age of finding a roommate, and you will know the beauty of it by then."
"It's just a pity that our young master is gone. After becoming a son-in-law, don't even think about taking concubines."
Xie Bai said coldly, "I don't need it either."
"Facing the brothers, Ziqing, don't be stubborn."
"That's right! How about it!"
"what?"
"Miss Pingping of the Chunfeng Building doesn't easily pick up guests on weekdays. Why don't we brothers pay together so that the young master can have a good time with Miss Pingping tonight?"
As soon as the voice fell, the room fell into silence.
With a "click", Xie Bai slapped the chopsticks on the table: "If you guys keep doing this, I will take my leave first."
The four quickly stopped them: "Don't, don't, it's my brother who said something wrong."
"That's right, talking nonsense! Don't you want to put Ziqing to death!"
The person who spoke was also afraid for a while: "I am out of my mind, if the princess knows about this..."
The four of them looked at each other and shuddered.
After not continuing this topic, Xie Bai sat back to eat again.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little drunk, Xie Bai wanted to let it go, but the four of them took turns persuading them to drink, and in the end, they ended up drinking directly.
Xie Bai was not very strong, and after drinking some wine, he couldn't hold back the four of them.Consciousness gradually became blurred, and Xie Bai felt that the situation was beginning to be a little bad.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a strong fragrance of cosmetics rushed out of the alcohol, and penetrated into Xie Bai's nostrils.
Excited by the smell, Xie Bai suddenly regained consciousness, waved his hands and said, "I don't want to drink anymore, I really can't drink any more."
"Young Master, let the slave family serve you and go upstairs to rest?"
The girls who came in from outside the door each found a young master to join them.
Xie Bai tried his best to keep himself awake, turned his head and glanced and said, "No...no need."
Standing up staggeringly, Xie Bai felt that he seemed to be able to walk at the moment, so he decided to leave this dangerous place before he fainted completely from drunkenness.
Seeing that Xie Bai was about to leave, the other four also pushed away the girl beside them to stop him.
One said: "Don't go, Ziqing, the girls came downstairs for us."
The other said: "That's right, and the princess won't know about your coming here."
Probably because of Jiu Zhuang's timidity, Teng Yue said directly: "Even if the princess knows, so what, can you really cut off your son-in-law?"
Xie Bai shook his head, thinking: She won't cut me off, but she will find a chain to lock me up.
The last one said: "Xie Bai, if you don't eat all the meat in your mouth, you are still not a man!"
"I'm a man, but this doesn't conflict with my going." Xie Bai broke out in a cold sweat, almost thinking that he had been exposed, and tried to tell himself in his heart, remember your identity.
It's too easy to slip up when you're drunk, and Xie Bai doesn't have the slightest chance to slip up.She could only tell herself over and over in her heart.
Xie Bai insisted on leaving, and the four followed behind and insisted on staying, so they chased to the street.
A carriage approached from a distance, Xie Bai wanted to hide, but his body was no longer in control.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit, the horse slowly stopped.
The door opened, and Xu Yuyao came out of the carriage with a displeased expression on her face. She glanced at the five drunks under the carriage, and then at the bright red plaque next to her——Chunfenglou.
Xu Yuyao's expression became colder and colder, so cold that the four of them woke up immediately after drinking, and wanted to run away.
"You four, stop for me!"
"Grassmen see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" The four had no choice but to go forward and salute.
"Teng Yue, Jiao Yuanqing, Yu Jun, Liu Wenlin, the four of you took Xie Bai to the brothel?"
The four were still arched and trembling.
In the end, Teng Yue came out and explained: "No, it's just a meal... I heard that the young master has recovered from his serious illness, Cao Min and the other three brothers wanted to celebrate with the young master."
"The celebration went to the brothel?"
Xu Yuyao's carriage was parked in the middle of the road, and people had already come out to watch the fun at the gate of Chunfeng Building.
Xie Bai was standing in front of the carriage, his ears were ringing and his body was staggering, as if he was about to fall, but fortunately Xu Yuyao's guard stepped forward and supported him.
"Ling Dang, go and help Xie Bai to my palace!"
Even though he was still some distance away, Xu Yuyao could still see the drunken look on Xie Bai's face.
Ling Dang was a little reluctant, and after being glared at by Xu Yuyao, she had no choice but to get out of the car and help Xie Bai, and carried him over.
Xie Bai's consciousness has been lost at this moment, and he can't recognize who is in front of him, he can only see a woman, and immediately said: "Although I am a man, I will not spend the night with you."
Hearing this, Xu Yuyao's face suddenly sank.
"Xie Bai, who do you think I am!"
However, Xie Bai was unable to reply anymore, he leaned against the bell and fell asleep with his body tilted.
Xu Yuyao simply got out of the car and walked up to the four of them: "What did you take her for?"
The four shook like chaff: "Really... I didn't do anything, I just ate and drank."
"It's just eating and drinking. How could the first thing she said when she met Ben Gong be 'I'm a man, but I won't spend the night with you'!"
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" The four of them were sweating one after another, and the alcohol was gone. "If you don't believe me, the mother of Chunfenglou is here. The princess can ask her to come over and ask!"
"Go, call someone over."
Teng Yue was about to call for someone, but Xu Yuyao said again: "You are not allowed to go."
Teng Yue watched Xu Yuyao's guards go by, and realized that she didn't call them just now.
The old bustard was called over, and she looked like she was watching a show: "Mr. Teng, what's the matter?"
"Mom, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess." With one word, Teng Yue signaled the bustard to speak more leisurely for a while.
"I ask you, what did the four of them take Xie Bai to do?"
Having lived in Beijing for many years, the bustard who knew Xu Yuyao's deeds clearly did not dare to speak nonsense, and immediately said: "I just ate and drank, and I didn't do anything else, really!"
"really?"
"Damn, really."
"If Bengong finds out that you and the four of them lied to Bengong..."
The old bustard said: "Even if the princess gives the grass-roots a few more courages, the grass-roots will not dare to lie to the princess!"
"I will give you one last chance. You run a brothel. Your girl wants to make money and survive. I don't need to blame you, but if you lie to me... then I just want to let you go, and I can't even find you." Here's the reason."
When the old bustard heard this, he immediately repented and changed his words: "It's just that after drinking too much, Mr. Teng asked Cao Min to call the girls down, but! The young master is upright, even if he is drunk, he will never be sorry Princess thing!"
Seeing Xie Bai's neat clothes, Xu Yuyao naturally believed that Xie Bai had done nothing, but this did not mean that she could forgive the actions of the other four.
After sending the bustard back, Xu Yuyao said coldly, "You four, follow the carriage and follow Bengong. If Bengong got off the carriage, no one saw you..."
Needless to say, the four of them automatically filled in their hearts.
Xu Yuyao got into the carriage and asked the coachman to carry Xu Yuyao into the carriage together with Ling Dang, and then continued to drive towards the princess mansion with the carriage.
She didn't expect that as soon as she left the palace, she would run into Xie Bai who ran out of the brothel drunk.
The location of the brothel was not too far from the princess mansion, but in order to keep up with the speed of the carriage, the four of them dared not slow down a step, so they forced themselves to run to the gate of the princess mansion.
The gate of the Princess Mansion is very grand, even more luxurious than the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as several people arrived at the place, they immediately collapsed on the ground, like a puddle of mud, or like a fish out of water, with their heads up and their mouths open, out of breath.
Xu Yuyao got off the carriage, glanced sideways at them, and asked Ling Dang and the coachman to take Xie Bai down.
"Send it to the bedroom." Xu Yuyao asked the guards to send Xie Bai back first, then turned to the other guards and said, "Bring these four people to the front hall and wait for me."
After speaking, Xu Yuyao hurried towards the bedroom.
The guard put Xie Bai on the bed, and was kicked out by Xu Yuyao.
The one who was kicked out together was Bell.
"Your Highness is becoming more and more eccentric." Bell, who was kicked out, was a little unhappy.
The guard said: "Miss Ling Dang, that's the son-in-law after all."
Xu Yuyao in the room didn't know that Ling Dang was complaining outside, but looked at Xie Bai who was sweating all the time, stretched out his hand, and pushed him: "Wake up."
Xie Bai was in a daze, only feeling a pair of very soft hands touching him, so he tried to open his eyes immediately.
But she was really drunk too much, and she couldn't regain her consciousness at this moment.
"Xie Bai, do you still recognize who I am?" Xu Yuyao asked, seeing her half-opened eyes with blurred eyes.
However, these words fell into Xie Bai's ears, and he became "you are a woman" in a daze.
Xie Bai immediately denied: "No, I'm a man!"
Xu Yuyao's face darkened, and said: "Xie Bai, this lie has been told for a long time, do you even believe it yourself?"
However, Xie Bai was completely unconscious at the moment, and could only repeat "I am a man, I am really a man".
Xu Yuyao saw that she was so drunk and unable to communicate at all, she got up angrily, shook her sleeves, walked to the door, and backed away.
Pulling off the brand new thin blanket covering her body, Xu Yuyao stretched out her index finger and pointed at her forehead: "You! When you sober up, I will settle the score with you again!"
Ling Dang watched Xu Yuyao come out, and said, "Your Highness, thanking the young master is too much!"
"Okay." Xu Yuyao was very annoyed at the moment, and just wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.
The people who were brought to the front hall by the guards were leaning on a pillar, still panting.
The sound of panting mixed with the smell of alcohol made Xu Yuyao even more annoying: "Let me hear your panting again, and you won't have to pant for the rest of your life!"
The four of them shut their mouths immediately, their faces slowly turning red.
"Teng Yue, the four of you are so courageous! If you don't learn well, you will let Liao go, and you even dare to take Xie Bai to drink flower wine!"
Teng Yue wanted to explain why he wanted to drink but failed, but he didn't dare, he could only listen.
When they were in Gyeonggi University, they were fortunate or unfortunate to be classmates with Xu Yuyao for three years.In the past three years, no one in the whole school, except Xie Bai, could escape Xu Yuyao's clutches.
For Xu Yuyao's fear, they can be said to have been engraved in their blood.
Choosing to invite Xie Bai to drink today is also a calculation. Xu Yuyao has just returned to Beijing, and she must have a good gathering with the emperor, prince, and princess in the palace. Who would have thought that she would leave the palace at this hour. Coincidentally, he also took the road where the Spring Breeze Building is located!
God is going to kill me!Teng Yue shouted in his heart.
"I heard that you recently took a concubine?"
Teng Yue shuddered, and replied, "Back... back to Your Highness, yes."
"Aren't you going to encourage Xie Bai to take a concubine?"
As soon as Xu Yuyao said this, the four of them couldn't help but tremble.How could Xu Yuyao know about their conversation?Did Xie Bai say that?He pretended to be drunk?
Seeing the expressions of the four people, Xu Yuyao knew what they were thinking, and said with a sneer: "With your little thoughts, do I still need to listen to others? If you have any thoughts, you can't wait to write them on your face!"
Several people quickly lowered their heads.
"Is it fun to drink flower wine? Is it exciting to drink flower wine with my son-in-law?"
