Chapter Fifty-Eight: Empress E's Daughter

The carriage approached, flanked on either side by a group of elite soldiers with considerable prestige.

Huangfu Jixun recognized that it was the Southern Tang Imperial Forest Army, in addition to the palace, there was also a place - Zheng Wangfu!

A middle-aged woman leaned out and got out of the car, glared at Huangfu Jixun, and after the little beauty saw it, she rushed over and threw herself into the woman's arms, crying: "Mother, he bullied me!" ”

Zhao Zheng looked up and saw that this woman was half a, and her charm was still there, no wonder she could give birth to such a beautiful daughter. And looking at this posture, the identity is not low.

"General Huangfu, can you give an explanation?" The woman's tone was extremely harsh.

"Mrs. Zhou, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!" Huangfu Jixun's attitude changed suddenly, he lost his spirit, and his expression and tone softened a lot.

"Mother, he wants to bully me, it was this big brother who saved me!" The little beauty first pointed to the emperor Shaojie who was rolling on the ground, and then pointed to Zhao Zheng.

The middle-aged woman looked up and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Nuying, get in the car, leave the matter to your mother!" A clear and tactful voice came from the carriage, very soft. But after hearing this, Huangfu Jixun frowned, his attitude became more and more humble, and he said repeatedly: "The princess is angry, this matter is mostly a misunderstanding!" ”

Princess? Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, there was a princess in the carriage? Hey, that's interesting.

Originally, he was still worried, with the identity of an envoy, Huangfu Jixun didn't dare to do anything to himself, but he only damaged him a few words, and the effect of Liwei was not achieved at all.

Zhao Zheng was still complaining, but Han Xizai, the old fox, didn't come yet. Well, now that a princess has arrived, the effect is the same. But who is this princess? Listening to the voice, it seems that he is not very old.

Mrs. Zhou said coldly: "General Huangfu, is it really a misunderstanding?" Do you think you should figure it out now and give an explanation to the princess and me, or will you go and explain to the queen mother and Her Royal Highness King Zheng tomorrow? ”

King Zheng? Li Congjia? Mrs. Zhou?

That little beauty's name seems to be "Nuying", Zhou Nuying?

Zhao Zheng reacted suddenly, it turned out that the little beauty turned out to be the famous "Little Zhou Hou". But now she is only ten years old, and she is only the second daughter of Da Situ Zhou Zong, and she has nothing to do with his brother-in-law Li Yu.

The princess in the carriage is Li Congjia's wife, the equally famous "Queen of the Great Zhou" Zhou Ehuang. It was such a coincidence, on the first night I came to Nantang, I met the two sisters of "Empress E".

This is a stunning beauty whose name has been passed down through the ages, but unfortunately I only saw the "little Zhou Hou" who didn't grow up, although she was beautiful, she was still just a child in the end. As for the "Great Zhou Hou", it must be a beautiful crown, and the talent is both beautiful, but it is a pity that I only hear its voice and do not see its beauty, which is inevitably a little regretful.

……

Today's incident is also a coincidence, Mrs. Zhou took her little daughter out to buy jewelry and clothes, and prepared for entering the palace at the end of the month to congratulate the birthday of the lord Li Jing. Zhou Nuying, who is a young lady, is not allowed to go out on weekdays, and she was very curious when she saw the prosperous night scene of the Qinhuai River on the upper floor of the jewelry store, so she sneaked out while her mother was trying on clothes.

Originally, I just wanted to take a casual look, so I went back as much as I could. But the wealthy lady who "has never seen the world" has just entered the market, and she is curious about everything she sees, so she has to take a few more looks, and she forgets the time when she comes and goes.

Mrs. Zhou, who was in the jewelry store, found that her daughter was missing, and she was immediately very anxious. In a hurry, I wondered if my second daughter would go to the palace to visit my sister? Therefore they sent someone to investigate.

When Emperor Zhou E heard that his sister was lost, he was naturally anxious, and immediately brought the palace guards out to look for him. As a result, I got the news that Zhou Nuying was by the Qinhuai River, and when she arrived, she found that her sister was involved in a dispute.

Huangfu Shaojie turned out to be a thin daughter?! This made Mrs. Zhou extremely angry.

Although Zhou Zong, the husband of the official worship Da Situ, has passed away, the eldest daughter is Princess Zheng, with a noble status, and the Zhou family is still considered a wealthy family, how can it be bullied? Especially the big event related to the daughter's name festival. It's angry to think about it, my daughter is only ten years old, and Huangfu Shaojie is not as good as **. Mrs. Zhou, who loved her daughter, was furious, how could she be willing to give up.

Huangfu Jixun suddenly had a big head and was distressed, the Huangfu family was quite powerful in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but there was still a gap compared with the Zhou family. Zhou Zong is dead like his old man, Huang Fuhui, but one of the Zhou family's daughters is Princess Zheng!

Although he is the sixth prince, the first five have all died, and he is already the de facto eldest son of the lord of the country, and the most popular candidate for the crown prince. Once King Zheng ascends the throne, the princess Zhou E will be the queen, and she can't afford to offend!

The nephew is bold and bold, and he actually despises the second daughter of the Zhou family, isn't this a ...... While Huangfu Jixun sighed, he also secretly blamed. When I first came over, I was so angry when I saw Zhao Zheng that I ignored the "victimized" little girl. I have seen Mrs. Zhou and Princess Zheng, if you pay close attention, you may be able to see the identity of the little beauty. In the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, except for the Zhou Zong family, who has such a beautiful daughter?

It's a pity that he was so angry that he was so focused on dealing with Zhao Zheng that he ignored this fateful situation. Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but now that Mrs. Zhou and Princess Zheng have intervened, the nature of the matter has completely changed.

Zhao Zheng smiled and said nothing, standing aside to watch the excitement, Mrs. Zhou was very angry, looking at this posture, Huangfu Jixun is going to kill his relatives without righteousness today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain!

Huangfu Jixun said helplessly: "Princess, Mrs. Zhou, it is Jixun's godnephew who has no way, and he will personally bring this rebel son to the door another day to apologize." ”

"There is no need to apologize, my Zhou family can't afford to welcome a distinguished guest like the emperor's son!" Mrs. Zhou's attitude is very clear, and it is not okay for Huangfu Jixun not to express his position on the spot.

Huangfu Jixun hesitated a little, he couldn't afford to provoke the Zhou family, but if he bowed his head today, how could the face of the Huangfu family exist? The nephew is already like this, and he is really pitiful, how can he not feel distressed when he is an uncle? What's more, if it is really disposed of, wouldn't it follow Zhao Zheng's wishes?

At this moment, a crisp cough came from the carriage, and the sound came from Princess Zheng and Emperor Zhou E.

The matter has come to this point, and Huangfu Jixun knows that today's disaster cannot be avoided. It doesn't matter if you offend the Zhou family, it doesn't matter if you lose face, if you offend Princess Zheng and the future queen because of this, will there be a way to live in the future?

At this time, it may not be bad to solve it, if King Zheng Li Congjia intervenes, or it is passed into the ears of the queen mother of the palace (Li Yu's mother, Empress Zhong), the consequences are afraid that it will be even worse.

"Mrs. Zhou, the little nephew misbehaved and offended Ling Ai, and he really deserves death, and I ask the princess and Mrs. for forgiveness; How about he is drunk and promiscuous, young and ignorant, and beats forty military sticks to make an example? Huangfu Jixun almost gritted his teeth and said this, and when Huangfu Shaojie on the ground heard it, he almost cried and wanted to shout, but when he saw his uncle's stern eyes, he shut up.

"General Huangfu enforces the law impartially, kills relatives with righteousness, is fair and strict, and is commendable!" Zhao Zheng made up for it in time, and was almost so angry that Huangfu Jixun vomited blood on the spot.

The Qinhuai River was temporarily turned into an execution ground, and two of Huangfu Jixun's subordinates immediately stepped forward to execute. The forty military sticks fell on Huangfu Shaojie, and the attack was very heavy, and after the fight, the skin was already open.

Although Huangfu Jixun was distressed, he was helpless, since he wanted to fight, he would be ruthless, so as not to dissatisfy Mrs. Zhou and Princess Zheng, and it would be better to end the matter completely. His subordinates knew how to beat the military sticks, although they were miserable, they were only skin injuries.

After Mrs. Zhou saw it, she nodded and said, "Okay, General Huangfu enforces the law impartially, very good!" Make your nephew young, teach well, and don't behave misbehaps. Later, I will send some medicine to your mansion, which is given by Emperor Liezu, which is good for Ling's nephew's injury. ”

Huangfu Jixun understood that the matter was over for the time being, and Mrs. Zhou was warning him not to take revenge. The late Situ Zhouzong was a close confidant of the martyr Li Yu, a veteran of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was highly respected. What's more, there is a princess in the family, and her power is not comparable to his imperial family.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Even if he was given a guts, Huangfu Jixun didn't dare to talk about revenge, and when he answered, he ordered someone to lift the wailing Huangfu Shaojie to leave. This guy has always been light, but today he suffered a big loss because of this, not to mention the forty military sticks, he was kicked in the waist and eyes, and his arms were dislocated by Zhao Zheng with a special technique, even if he recovered, he had to suffer for two days, which was really miserable.

The most important thing is that tomorrow, his emperor Shaojie will become the laughing stock of Jinling and even the entire Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhao Zheng didn't forget to add: "General Huangfu, does the official still want to investigate with you?" ”

Huangfu Jixun was annoyed, glanced at Zhao Zheng coldly, and turned to leave. The Zhou family didn't dare to retaliate, but Zhao Zheng ...... Today's events began with him, and the account was written on his head.

"Zhao Gongzi, thank you for rescuing the little girl, I am very grateful!" Mrs. Zhou thanked her again, then got into the carriage and left.

The carriage turned and left, and before leaving, Zhou Nuying leaned out of the window and looked back. The moment the curtain was raised, Zhao Zheng glanced at it, and a beautiful face flashed behind Zhou Nuying.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Zhao Zheng also turned around and left, tossing for a day, it was time to go back to the concierge house to sleep. Before leaving, Zhao Zheng glanced at the street, and a carriage that had been staying for a long time left in a hurry.

Zhao Zheng smiled, Han Xizai, this old fox is really cunning! However, he didn't notice that in a dark corner, the hunchback of the roe deer mouse flashed by, and the corner of his mouth showed a sneer.
