Chapter 468: Zong Zhengqing is angry
The insect lady instructed the palace maid:
"When you go to Lao Zongzheng, you say that I will invite him to eat and drink. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The palace maid was frightened, shaking her head like a merchant's drum, Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan has always been hot-tempered, and he is extremely strict, the royal family is not afraid of him, not to mention these palace people at the bottom?
"Slave no, don't dare to ......"
The insect lady raised her hand and tapped on the door of the palace maid's head, "If you want to go, you can go, so cowardly, how will you do things by my side in the future?"
The palace maid is the same age as the insect girl, and she is also around sixteen years old, and after talking for a while, she is not as restrained as before, although she does not dare to agree to go down to see Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan, it can be seen that the insect girl will be bold as a requirement to stay by her side, so she is curious:
"The slave maid only heard that she is obedient and well-behaved, honest and diligent to win the favor of the master, and the princess should not coax the slave and maid ......"
Seeing that she was funny, the insect girl smiled, and pretended to be stern again.
"Yes, you are not too bold, dare to talk nonsense in front of the princess, are you not afraid of being sent to the court to tear your mouth?"
The palace maid was frightened again, knelt down, and said incoherently:
"The slave and maid are not very bold, the slave and maid dare not talk nonsense, the slave and maid have just been recruited into the palace, and they don't understand the rules, so they beg the princess not to drive the slave ......and maid away."
The trick was successful, and the insect girl should have laughed, but she couldn't laugh, and her eyes were a little red. She suddenly thought of the days when she fled outside the city, day and night in fear, this seemingly endless torment, so that people will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
She heard the palace maid say that she had just been recruited into the palace after the civil unrest, and she must have been a hard-working person whose family was separated, so she squatted down and clasped her hands around her knees, looking at the panicked and tear-stained face.
"Okay, stop crying, I'm messing around with you. ”
At the same time, the insect girl stretched out her hand and wiped away the undried tears on the palace maid's face with a handkerchief, and said softly:
"Get up quickly, who said they were going to drive you away? Go and invite the old man Zong Zhengqing, I will always keep you by your side from now on." ”
The palace maid couldn't believe it, "Really?"
The insect girl stood up, put her hands behind her back, and made a rather imposing appearance.
"This princess has never broken her word!"
It's just that he pretended for a moment, and then bent down and instructed the palace maid.
"Don't worry, go and invite Zong Zhengqing, that old man has loved me since he was a child, I invite him to eat and drink, and I won't refuse." ”
The palace maid was skeptical, but she thought that this princess did come back with Zong Zhengqing, and as soon as she entered the East Palace, she immediately had clothes and accessories sent by a special person, which showed that her status was not ordinary.
Zong Zhengqing stepped into the courtyard where the insect girl was located, and as soon as he entered the door, he frightened the palace people outside the left and right wings into bowing their heads, and then slipped away in a gray manner. Li Xuan was accustomed to the appearance that people avoided him, and never cared, and shouted outside the door:
"Insect Niang, this doll, knows that the old man is good at eating and drinking, and what good things have been prepared, and the food in the East Palace can fade out of the bird's mouth......"
Li Xuan's words stunned the little palace maid who followed him, her eyes and mouth were wide, and her face was full of disbelief, is this still the unsmiling, stern and fiery Zong Zhengqing?
"Come in, come in, it's all ready, it's on the table......"
The voice of the insect girl came from the house. Li Xuan swallowed his saliva and walked in, but after bypassing the screen, he was dumbfounded. I saw that there were a lot of bowls and basins on the full case, but they were filled with water.
Li Xuan deliberately pulled his face down.
"You doll is going to play tricks on the old man again, where is the wine and meat hidden, take it out quickly. ”
He thought that the prince had a very good relationship with the insect girl, and he must have asked someone to send good wine and meat, so he thought that he could also fight tooth sacrifices. Otherwise, the food supply in the East Palace is mostly rice and vegetables, and occasionally a little meat is not enough to stuff the teeth. Although Li Xuan is not a person who likes luxury, he has a hobby, which is to drink wine and eat meat, and it is important to feel uncomfortable if he doesn't eat a meal. The days of fleeing outside are forgotten, but as soon as I return to the palace, I am addicted.
The insect girl said seriously:
"Worm Niang has never hidden wine and meat, and from morning to now, everything that can be eaten is here. ”
Li Xuan put away his smile, and he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something in the insect girl's words.
"From the morning to now, these are the only bowls of water that can be eaten?"
Without waiting for the insect girl to speak, the little palace maid replied tremblingly:
"Zong Zhengqing Mingjian, the princess has only drunk two sips of water since sunrise. ”
"How is it possible? Obviously there will be rice and vegetables every morning, although it is empty, it is enough!
Li Xuan's anger gradually appeared, and the palace maid boldly said:
"The person who distributed the food said that the food supply in the city was tight, and the food in the East Palace would be halved as appropriate!"
Syllable!
Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan slapped the case in front of him, and the bowls and basins on it were shocked and bounced up and fell, and a lot of water spilled out of it.
"It's nonsense! The old man has heard the prince say that the princes and grandsons in the East Palace are all fully supplied with food!
In the excitement, he coughed violently.
The insect girl hurriedly came over, holding Li Xuan's arm while gently patting his back.
"Quickly dissipate the gas, everything else is secondary, but many brothers and sisters are hungry......"
Li Xuan finally got his breath down, looked at the insect girl and laughed:
"You doll, you are a good trickster, otherwise the old man will really become an old and dizzy fool and be kept in the dark!"
Although this is just a trivial matter on the surface, once the influence spreads, people will only say that the prince is not, otherwise how can the troublemakers behind him gain power? Li Xuan certainly does not believe that Li Heng will be a person who connives, but after all, a person only has a pair of eyes and a pair of hands, and as long as he uses people, he may be deceived, and he is no exception, and Li Heng is certainly not an exception.
Li Xuan asked himself that he was old, and it was difficult to help Li Heng achieve great things, but it was more than enough to extinguish a few evil fires in the backyard. After making up his mind, he picked up a porcelain bowl on the table, drank it with a few sips on his neck, and then slammed the bowl on the table.
"The old man is going too!"
An hour later, Princess Le Cheng stood in front of Li Xuan, bowing her head and not saying a word.
"What the hell is going on, to recruit the old man from the truth, if you dare to coax the old man again, believe it or not, the old man will invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and abolish your princess title?"
Originally, Princess Lecheng just bowed her head and was silent, but now when she heard Li Xuan say that the more she said, the more terrifying it became, she couldn't help but say:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been ordered to supervise the country, but he can't abolish my princess title, Zong Zhengqing ......"
In the middle of her words, Li Xuan suddenly had a seizure and slapped her on the case, so frightened that she swallowed the second half of her words back.
"The crown prince has not been ordered to abolish your princess title? Tell you, even Yang Guozhong and the concubine have already taken their orders, what do you think the princess is worth?"
After the prince returned to Chang'an, he insisted on covering up Ma Weizhi's changes and did not announce Yang Guozhong's death. Although there have been rumors in Chang'an City, after all, it has not been officially confirmed, and people only think that they are half-truths. Princess Le Cheng had naturally heard various versions of Ma Wei's change, but now that it came out of Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan's mouth, she was still scared and overwhelmed, and she actually stood unsteadily and sat on the ground.
Speaking of Princess Lecheng's concubine Xue Luqian is also a member of Yang Guozhong's family, at this time in Huainan as a guard, she can follow to Huainan, but because she does not want to suffer from the fatigue of the boat and car, and does not want to leave the flowery land of Chang'an, so she stayed in Chang'an, so unfortunately caught up with the unlucky civil unrest.
When the civil unrest broke out, fortunately, the domestic slaves of the Horse Mansion were loyal and brave, and they repelled the onslaught and did not end up outside the city. But although the person was fine, the damage to her property in various parts of the city was very great. Therefore, Princess Lecheng, who has always been greedy for money, began to collect money after accepting the errand of distributing food and clothing.
However, Princess Lecheng's wealth is not something that anyone dares to ask for, those who have status, status, and a strong family background will not touch it, only for those who have no background and no ability. Therefore, although there have been many complaints for several days, it has never been exposed.
However, maybe a hundred secrets are sparse, or Princess Lecheng looks down on the insect girl, and compares the food and clothing of the insect girl to those who have no power and power. It's a pity that the insect mother won't suffer a loss, so she chewed it up and swallowed it in her stomach, pretending to invite Li Xuan, Zong Zhengqing, who has always loved her, to eat wine, and then exposed this dirty deed in one fell swoop.
"From now on, you don't have to manage food and clothing anymore, someone will announce your punishment later, go down!"
Looking at Princess Lecheng's face, Li Xuan couldn't hold back the disgust in her heart, and just wanted to send her away early, so that she couldn't see it. Who knew that Princess Le Cheng actually launched a splash, "Zong Zhengqing doesn't know which side of the word he heard, don't you deal with people without doing an investigation?" I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"
Princess Lecheng has her own hard confidence, her concubine Xue Luqian is too shou in Huainan, and the land of Huaisi has always been the richest place in the world, and now the court is in great trouble and must be inseparable from the support of Huaisi and other places, so their horses will inevitably rise, even if the important ministers in the court see themselves, they have to give some face.
Li Xuan was furious, of course he did the investigation in secret, and only after he had the evidence and testimony of the confirmed witnesses did he call Princess Le Cheng to give a lecture. If Princess Le Cheng could know her mistakes and admit her mistakes, he might not have been severely punished, but now she saw that she looked lawless, not afraid of heaven and earth, as if she had made a mistake and was reasonable, so she decided not to deal with this matter lightly.
Once he made up his mind to deal with it ruthlessly, Li Xuan snorted coldly.
"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin! The old man will let you know how to write the word regret!"
Li Xuan had personally obtained the authorization of the crown prince to handle the internal affairs of the imperial family in the name of Zong Zhengqing, and if anyone dared to openly commit a crime at this time, no matter what excuse he had, he must be dealt with with heavily.
