Section 208: Punishment

But everything that is strange must have something strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Princess Xinxuan grew up in the palace with her mother since she was a child, and I don't know how many intrigues she has seen. The environment has a great impact on people, and Princess Xinxuan is no exception. From a very young age, she understood that as long as it was something she liked, she would try her best to get it no matter what. Yang Tianhong, an excellent man, did not propose to him, that was because he was blind. Of course, there is also a strange factor such as Xiaohe, which suddenly appeared. No matter from which point of view, Yang Tianhong's marriage proposal is unreasonable, and there is an indescribable weirdness in it.

After the royal banquet in the main hall that day, Princess Xinxuan returned to the palace and cried. Empress Zhang tried her best to persuade her, but to no avail. Turning grief and anger into strength is indeed a wise saying. After Princess Xinxuan cried, her chaotic brain became fresh. She began to think carefully about every aspect of the matter, and suddenly found that there must be some secret between Yang Tianhong and Xiaohe that outsiders don't know.

For the things they like, humans will study them and gain a deeper understanding of their characteristics. The same is true for men and women who admire each other. For Yang Tianhong, Princess Xinxuan also secretly ordered people to collect all kinds of information about him. Hobbies, personality, favorite foods, favorite things to do, etc...... is like a star-chaser in another era, and they are simply fascinated by their favorite stars. thinks that star constellations are their lucky charms, celebrities like recipes, and celebrities read books, movies, television, and magazines, and they will buy a lot of them in a mess. There is something more serious, my parents are lying in bed and dying, but my aunt is in great pain because of the idol star's cold and cold, and she can't wait to cut off her head and die instead of the star idol.

Princess Xinxuan is a royal noblewoman, even if she has a crush on Yang Tianhong, she has not yet reached this crazy and brainless realm. All kinds of information collected show that: Yang Tianhong is no different from a normal person in terms of aesthetic views. He is definitely not the kind of **** maniac who thinks he is a sable cicada when he sees a sow with double eyelids, nor is he a **** maniac who is full of power and hormones when he sees a woman. Of course, Yang Tianhong also likes beautiful girls, and likes to take a few more glances at the beauties he occasionally encounters on the street. He bought twelve beautiful young dancers in the Jade Pavilion, and fought with the sons of his concubine at home for these women...... All these things show that Yang Tianhong does not have the slightest taste for women. He's normal, not a weird and perverted monster in his imagination.

Let alone. Yang Tianhong's sister Yang Qiurong is very beautiful. Such an excellent pair of sisters and brothers, even if Yang Tianhong really has something wrong with his brain, Yang Qiurong must not tolerate it.

Princess Xinxuan's idea is very simple: since there is no problem with the man she likes, then the problem must be with Xiaohe.

The methods of intrigue in the palace are endless, and the speed of progress is far faster than outsiders think. On the night when Xiaohe just stayed in Lingxiu Palace, Empress Zhang arranged for several maids around her. The next day, Princess Xinxuan was rewarded, saying that Princess Wenyuan had spent several hours meditating without eating or drinking. I don't know if I'm practicing the Fa or if I've fallen into an evil spirit?

Princess Xinxuan leaned that Xiaohe was casting a spell to harm others, but Empress Zhang scoffed at her daughter's wild speculation. It is a well-known thing that Xiaohe has followed King Changle since he was a child. Even if Xiaohe has a problem, King Changle will definitely not let it go. For more than ten years, I have never heard of any trouble in the palace of Changle Wangfu, how could it be possible to cause trouble in the palace?

I have to admit that women's ideas are wild, especially women who are caught in the whirlpool of love, but they can't get the man they love. A lot of ideas can become extreme, and then the brain will amplify their thoughts wirelessly. Unprecedented and detailed probing of every aspect of the matter. At such times, women become quite terrifying, with a level of intelligence and mental agility comparable to those of the greatest wise men in legend.

Princess Xinxuan faintly felt that the problem might be in the terrifying black birthmark on the top of Xiaohe's head.

Perhaps, that birthmark is a fake at all.

Maybe. Xiaohe has not had any birthmarks since she was born, and everything is a disguise she uses as a cover.

It is not surprising that such an idea arose. Something like the law of exclusion doesn't just exist in another world. Xiaohe is of noble birth, and Yang Tianhong's background is not bad. Of course. The two of them have been in the national prison for a long time, and it is reasonable to say that they have been in love for a long time. But a sow is a sow, and turning into a sable cicada is just a myth. Yang Tianhong is rich and will definitely not be short of money. As for fame and power, since he dared to take the initiative to resign in front of Emperor Shunming, it shows that he will not take secular power to heart. The basis of mutual admiration between men and women, to put it bluntly, is just a few things. Since Yang Tianhong doesn't want money or power, Xiaohe's poetry and writing can only be regarded as average, and in comprehensive comparison, it is only possible to win in terms of appearance.

With her dark face, is it possible?

This is like a super handsome rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions of personables, who can speak more than 30 languages, and has more than a dozen postdoctoral degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia, and Princeton, driving a limited edition Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Lincoln, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, forming a mighty luxury convoy, coming to Luo Yumad, kneeling down on one knee, and pleading affectionately: "Marry me, all this is yours." If not, I'll die to show you now!"

This kind of thing has a great chance of appearing in **** brain-dead TV series, more than 99.99%. But if it were in reality, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of beauties would have come over and tear Luoyu to pieces, and then shouted to Gao Fushuai with the most courageous, arrogant and honest attitude: I am the confidant you really need.

The more Princess Xinxuan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth. The birthmark on the top of Xiaohe's head must be fake. The reason is very simple, not long after she gave birth that day, the first queen died of illness. If you want to live in this murderous palace, you must have enough self-protection ability. There are two conditions for achieving this goal. First, it has a powerful power that surpasses everyone in the entire harem, such as having the position of queen. Second, let everyone marginalize you and make everyone feel like you are no threat to them. It's like an ant that lives freely in the grass and doesn't intrude on others. No one else will think of crushing you to death with a kick. Although it is a very humble life, it is also extremely safe.

Regarding her daughter's speculation, Empress Zhang scoffed. When Xiaohe was born, almost all the experienced grandmothers in the harem were present. Birthmarks had to be examined, and every detail of what happened at that time was clearly recorded in the documents of the Zongren Mansion. What's more, for so many years. Emperor Shunming was worried about Xiaohe's birthmark, and the Tai Hospital had to go to Changle Wangfu every once in a while to treat Xiaohe. If the birthmark is fake, this kind of thing can't be hidden anyway. Even if King Changle had the intention to arrange it, how could the imperial physician dare to hide it from Emperor Shunming? Take a step back and say, even if this kind of thing is hidden from the people around him, how can it be hidden from the eyes of more people? This is not a matter of one or two days, but a long period of years, more than ten years. If there is anything strange in it, Emperor Shunming will not let his daughter be raised in Changle Mansion in vain. I have already selected the right person and married Xiaohe.

Princess Xinxuan sat very close, just to take a closer look at the birthmark on Xiaohe's face.

She was a little disappointed, the black and white skin on the small lotus face price were very closely integrated, and there was no trace of a patchwork link. The two diametrically opposed colors are one and the same, and if they hadn't grown like this since childhood, they wouldn't be justified in any way.

Chen Shufei has been observing the words and expressions on the side. She didn't understand why Princess Xinxuan came to this Lingxiu Palace, and she didn't know what Princess Xinxuan had in her stomach? Concubine Chen Shufei just saw that Princess Xinxuan's eyes were staring at Xiaohe. is like the most greedy and lustful man, who wants to see through every corner of Xiaohe's body through clothes.

"I really don't understand. How could Yi Yonghou fall in love with an ugly thing like you?"

Suddenly, from the mouth of Princess Xinxuan, there were vicious words that Concubine Chen Shufei Yu Xiaohe never dreamed of: "If I were you, I would just die, and it would be disgusting to live in the world." Yi Yonghou dared to marry you even with such an ugly appearance, and openly proposed to His Majesty on the top of the main hall. must also be a person who climbs up by any means for fame and wealth. This kind of waste, this princess doesn't want it, just leave it to you to slowly consume. Hmph! Presumably, things are far from being as wonderful as you think, and people who are greedy for profit are usually ruthless. Sometime. Even if you marry into the Yang Mansion, there must be endless hardships waiting for you. Perhaps, your husband is only glamorous on the surface, but at heart he is a despicable, shameless, sinister and cunning person. Don't say that Princess Ben didn't remind you, if it'......"

In the latter words, Princess Xinxuan couldn't even say a word. She felt a force in her throat, and it was difficult to breathe.

Concubine Chen Shufei was next to her, and even her eyes widened out--without warning, Xiaohe suddenly stretched out her right hand, her five fingers opened, and firmly choked Princess Xinxuan's throat. But Xiaohe didn't have any expression on his face, it was very bland, as if nothing had happened. It's just that her white-skinned and warm arms refuse to relax at all, just like a quiet and gentle beauty picking up an object and holding it flat like this.

Her eyes were as bright as the morning star, and her voice was beautiful and pleasant, but it was indescribably cold: "You are my half-sister, and you should have given you some thin face." However, you have to understand that there is such a thing as face, firstly, you have to be willing to give it to others, and secondly, you must know it yourself. Don't think that as the daughter of the queen, everyone in this palace must let you and be afraid of you. Lingxiu Palace does not welcome people who talk nonsense. Yi Yonghou is my future husband, and you can't slander me wantonly. I see that you are young, so you open your mouth and close your mouth to curse and slander people's reputation, presumably your mother has also lacked education for you since childhood, so that today you say some inexplicable things. Today, it is only a slight punishment. You'd better take every word I say to heart. If I hear anything like that again, it will be in your name, no matter whose mouth it is. When the time comes, it won't be so easy. ā€

Without waiting for Concubine Chen Shufei to persuade beside her, Xiaohe had already released her palm, and at the same time, a force was released from her palm, pushing Princess Xinxuan back from her seat. She fell to the ground and let out a scream of "wow".

Xiaohe did not make a ruthless move, at most, she let Princess Xinxuan stay in a state of suffocation and dying for a few seconds, so that this arrogant and arrogant half-sister understood the horror of death, and thus feared herself.

After doing this, Xiaohe took out a white silk scarf and carefully wiped his dry fingers. Her skin was as white as frost and snow, and her color was even brighter than that of a silk handkerchief. Elegant movements, full of indescribable beauty. Concubine Chen Shu has lived in the palace for a long time, and she thinks that she has seen a lot of beauties in the world, and she also caught Xiaohe's gentle and gentle movements. couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and said in his heart, even if the birthmark on her face made Princess Wenyuan look ugly, but this elegance alone would completely compare all the women in the palace.

Several maids hurriedly helped Princess Xinxuan up. Her face turned pale, her hands kneading back and forth in her throat. It's been a long time. The coughing sound slowly subsided, and the pale complexion gradually returned to ruddy. Princess Xinxuan had fire in her eyes and glared at Xiaohe viciously. She didn't take Xiaohe's words to heart at all, and subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to be angry, but she saw Xiaohe suddenly move her body and grab a maid standing next to her at ghostly speed. In front of Concubine Chen and Princess Xinxuan, Xiaohe's fingers suddenly exerted force, and the maid didn't have time to scream, and her arm was already twisted alive with a "click".

"Even if you don't come today. I also want to discipline this person. ā€

Xiaohe's words were plain, and there was no threat at all: "In this Lingxiu Palace, this person is more like a princess than me." Whatever is commanded, it is meant to be done by others. Even when I asked for a cup of tea on weekdays, she turned a deaf ear and was cold. It's as if I'm a statue of wood, and she's the real owner of this place. Today, it is only a slight punishment. If there is a next time. It's not as simple as breaking hands and feet. ā€

This is obviously killing chickens to show monkeys. Chen Shufei subconsciously covered her mouth with her right hand, her face was full of shock.

She had seen some monks. Whether it is strength or speed, Xiao He already has the most rudimentary level of cultivation spiritual energy. Cultivation is very hard, and no one in the harem has worked this. It is no exaggeration to say that by force alone, Xiaohe definitely occupies the first place in the harem. Today's thing. It was definitely Princess Xinxuan who took the initiative to provoke. Xiaohe is deeply favored by Emperor Shunming, even if he kills Princess Xinxuan on the spot, presumably Emperor Shunming will not blame him too much. On the contrary, Xiaohe showed his hand in front of everyone, regardless of Princess Xinxuan and Queen Zhang. is still a palace maid in Lingxiu Palace who is very disdainful of her, and from now on she will definitely not dare to respond to things as before.

Princess Xinxuan was stunned. She stood there and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She was dragged away by several maids. When I left, my ears kept echoing with Xiaohe's fluttering, slow words.

"If you don't provoke me honestly, this sisterhood is not bad. If you have to give birth to right and wrong for no reason, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I wanted to kill you, it would not be more difficult than crushing an ant. ā€

......

Anju.

It has been two months since the Jiedu Embassy promulgated the new "Rules for the Transaction of Commercial Goods". The Anju market has changed dramatically.

South of Anzhou City, Fanjia Commercial Bank.

This is a large yard. More than a dozen houses with simple structures are distributed along the perimeter of the walls, forming an irregular "concave" character. The walls on both sides close at the end of the house, and with the entrance and exit gates, it is an enclosed space. There are stables in the yard, and dozens of carts are parked next to them. The house on the east side of the courtyard is very spacious, and at first glance it is used as a warehouse. There are towers built in the corners of the four sides, and although the height is only more than ten meters, it is enough for the watchman standing on it to see every corner of the courtyard.

In the lobby of the inner room, Fan Qinzhou, who had a gloomy face, sat in the main seat, slowly drinking strong tea without saying a word. Next to him, the other two heads of the Fan family also lowered their heads and remained silent.

The Fan family was a well-known businessman in the Qi State. The State of Qi and the State of Chu are adjacent to each other, and the trade is very busy. Because Anzhou is located in a remote area and it is not easy to travel back and forth, Emperor Shunming has always maintained relatively loose rules for foreign trade. As long as businessmen from other countries honestly abide by the laws and regulations of the Chu State and pay taxes, the local officials will not deliberately make things difficult.

Fan Qinzhou is the direct son of the Fan family stationed in Anzhou, and he is also the speaker of Anzhou's affairs.

Anju is actually a treasure land. It is close to the sea and is rich in pearls, hawksbill turtles, shark fins and other valuable goods. Between the mountains and forests, there are precious medicinal materials such as yellow essence and Ganoderma lucidum. Of course, all of this cannot be considered a bulk cargo. The real reason why the Fan family is interested in Anzhou and set up a cargo station here is the grain and rice produced in Anzhou.

It really doesn't take much effort to farm here. Anzhou has fertile soil and abundant rainfall, and there is no need to spend a lot of money digging diversion ditches like in the mainland of Chu and other countries. The weather here is hot, and you only need to sow the seeds, even if you manage them extensively, the harvest is still more than twice that of the land in Chu. What's more, compared with the cold climate in the north, Anzhou can achieve three crops a year. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is not an inherently lazy waste, it is difficult to starve to death in such a place.

According to the original idea of the Fan family, it was to buy a large amount of land in Anzhou, and then bring farmers from the Qi country to cultivate and grow grain. The Yue people had to enter the country every year to cause rebellion, and the Fan family manor was destroyed in the war in the first year, with heavy losses. Since then, the Fan family has changed their strategy and directly used the money to buy surplus grain from the local people. Although the cost of land is definitely higher than that of local reclamation, it also avoids the losses caused by the war. (To be continued.) )
