Chapter 155 The Skinny Horse's Second Daughter 27
Chapter 155 The Skinny Horse's Second Daughter 27
Princess Cheng’s behavior of loving her child.
Prince Cheng, however, showed great confusion.
"You feel heartbroken and heartbroken. He is spoiled by you."
"He's a man and he was just slightly injured. It's not as serious as you think."
Compared to the brainless Princess Cheng, Prince Cheng has to think more.
Now that the two families are about to become relatives, things can't be made too ugly.
Zhou Song is Emperor Wen's man, and it would be a great joy if the two families got married.
Prince Cheng saw things very clearly.
He knew very well what kind of person his son was. He felt very lucky to marry Zhou Jingyi.
Seeing that Prince Cheng was speaking for an outsider, Princess Cheng turned and stared at Zhou Jingyi, as if she wanted to eat her.
"If you don't want to sleep in pain, then let me. Zhou Jingyi must pay the price today no matter what. It is a serious crime to hurt the prince of Cheng."
This matter was indeed Zhou Jingyi's fault.
Concubine Shu said in a solemn voice, "That's enough. I know what happened now. Zhou Jingyi brought the whip into the palace without permission and accidentally injured Prince Cheng. She should be punished."
"He will be driven out of the palace with thirty sticks."
Just a few simple words doomed Zhou Jingyi to misery.
If she was really driven out by the Thirty Palace Sticks, she would have no face to live in the capital in the future.
Zhou Jingyi's whole body softened at first with panic in her eyes, then she looked at Feng Qingzi and Zhou Song beside her excitedly as if she had seen her life-saving straw.
"Father, mother, please save your daughter, please save me..."
But Zhou Song and Feng Qingzi remained unmoved.
Concubine Shu looked at the couple and warned them, "Zhou Jingyi has committed a crime of insubordination and behaved too erratically. As parents, you are unable to discipline her. I will make sure she learns her lesson well."
Seeing the palace servants coming forward to pull her away, Zhou Jingyi panicked and dodged backwards.
"Father, mother, please beg for mercy and ask Concubine Shu to let my daughter go."
Zhou Jingyi was crying so sadly that Feng Qingzi couldn't help but take two steps forward.
But Concubine Shu looked at her fiercely.
"Madam General, this is the harem, and I am following orders."
Zhou Song grabbed Feng Qingzi's arm and shook his head gently.
After only a dozen blows, Ah Zhi and Eunuch Wang came hurriedly.
"Stop it!"
Concubine Shu quickly raised her hand to ask the palace servants who were carrying out the execution to stop.
She stood up and looked at Eunuch Wang and asked, "Eunuch, but did His Majesty and His Majesty have any oral instructions?"
"Yes, just now Miss Zhou Er played the heavenly music in front of the emperor, and His Majesty granted Miss Zhou Er a favor."
"Ms. Zhou Er is thinking about her own sister, and begs His Majesty to forgive Miss Zhou once. No matter what crime Miss Zhou has committed, it will be forgiven today."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng was furious. If Prince Cheng hadn't held her back, she might have rushed over to question him.
The concubine was silent for two seconds and then her voice became calm.
"Since His Majesty has given the order, Zhou Jingyi will be exempted from the caning."
Zhou Jingyi, who had been beaten with the cane ten times, now had a face as pale as paper. You know, ten beats of the cane were enough for her to bear.
Even if she wasn't beaten to death or disabled, it was more than enough to hurt her.
Azhi stepped forward and helped Zhou Jingyi up, with a hint of worry on her delicate little face.
"Eldest sister, are you okay?"
Zhou Jingyi was unwilling to appreciate Azhi's kind help.
But she couldn't stand the severe pain in her body, so she could only let Azhi support her.
The two sisters slowly returned to Feng Qingzi's side.
But Princess Cheng's poisonous eyes remained on Zhou Jingyi and never moved away.
"Okay, today's matter has been concluded. I want to go see Prince Cheng. Princess Cheng, please come with me."
Because she was really worried about her brainless sister, Concubine Shu asked her to follow her before leaving.
"sister......"
Princess Cheng looked at Concubine Shu unwillingly, but there was a warning in Concubine Shu's eyes.
No matter how unwilling she was, she still snorted coldly and followed Concubine Shu away.
The two main people in the hall left.
Only Prince Cheng stepped forward with a bitter look on his face.
"General Zhou, the princess went too far today. Please don't take it to heart."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? If Jingyi hadn't disobeyed discipline and brought a whip into the palace without permission, she wouldn't have hurt the prince's face."
"Now that the Crown Prince's face has been damaged, it is truly my fault. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
But King Cheng shook his head.
"It's okay. The scar on the man's face is nothing. It's inevitable that children will have small fights. As long as they don't hurt each other, it's fine."
"They are still young after all. Don't blame the children."
It seems that Prince Cheng still wants to get married.
Rather than punishing Zhou Song himself and letting the matter come to an end completely, it would be better to let this matter become a favor.
What King Cheng wanted was to make Zhou Song owe him a favor.
Zhou Song didn't expect King Cheng to be so easy to talk to.
But Feng Qingzi on the side looked unhappy.
King Cheng patted Zhou Song on the shoulder and turned to leave.
The next moment Feng Qingzi slapped Zhou Jingyi in the face.
"You bastard, do you know that what you did almost brought our entire General's Mansion to ruin? How could I give birth to a fool like you?"
Today was the second time Feng Qingzi beat Zhou Jingyi.
She is usually gentle, but now she was so angry that she slapped Zhou Jingyi, which shows that she was extremely angry.
Zhou Jingyi covered her face with her hands, her face pale, and a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Mother, my sister must have realized her mistake."
Ah Zhi pretended to be kind and pleaded for mercy.
This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
She said to Zhou Jingyi in a disappointed tone, "Ever since Ningning came back, you just can't stand her."
"But Ningning is the only one who wants to plead for you. Zhou Jingyi, you owe Ningning a big favor this time."
When he was suffering just now, Feng Qingzi and Zhou Song did not plead for him.
Now that I have finally escaped from this sea of suffering, they actually want me to owe Zhou An Ning a favor?
Zhou Jingyi couldn't hold back her grievance and pushed Azhi away.
"Ah, sister, why did you push me?"
Azhi looked at a loss and was supported by Feng Qingzi.
Make sure Azhi is standing firmly.
Feng Qingzi wanted to continue teaching Zhou Jingyi a lesson, but this time Zhou Song held her back.
Zhou Jingyi really looked too pitiful.
There was no color on his face, and his entire face was soaked with cold sweat.
The pain from the caning had not yet subsided, and she was trying to hold on but was on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Song still had some kindness towards his daughter.
But he was also hurt by Zhou Jingyi.
"Okay, Madam, let's have someone send Jing'er back first. It's inconvenient with so many people in the palace. If it gets out, it will only be regarded as a joke."
It turns out that I'm not feeling sorry for myself.
Are you just afraid of being laughed at?
Zhou Jingyi clenched her fists with hatred surging in her heart.
In addition to the meal, the Queen also arranged a flower-viewing banquet in the afternoon, which was nothing more than the noble ladies reciting poems and writing couplets.
Although Zhou Jingyi was sent back, the strange looks from people around her from time to time really made Feng Qingzi feel uneasy.
The third princess took Azhi to other places to play.
"Your name is Zhou An Ning, so why don't I call you Ning Ning from now on."
"Today's Spring Flower Banquet is really boring. I'll show you the koi I raise. I raise all of them myself, and they are very rare species."
Because the third princess was obsessed with music since she was a child, she was not very close to the other princesses.
The other princesses only thought that the third princess was aloof and arrogant, and that she was proud because she was the legitimate princess.
Naturally, I won’t try to please someone who doesn’t like me.
Similarly, the third princess was used to it. With the favor of Emperor Wen and the Empress, she didn't need to please anyone at all.
Ah Zhi followed the third princess to the arch bridge and saw schools of koi in the lake.
The palace maid brought fish food.
"Feed them quickly."
The third princess' face was full of anticipation. Ah Zhi nodded, picked up the fish food and threw it into the water.
These koi fish are scrambling to grab food, and their bright colors are really beautiful.
"Isn't it fun? If I have time on weekdays, I will come here to feed the fish and bring my guzheng to play music for them."
"They already know me. Whenever I come, they rush to the surface."
The third princess excitedly introduced her koi, and pointed at the koi and told Ah Zhi its name.
There were a few particularly beautiful koi, and the third princess even named them herself.
"The Third Princess's koi are so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful fish."
The third princess looked at Azhi curiously.
"Haven't you seen it?"
But Azhi shook his head.
"I was not in the capital when I was young."
"Yes, you were raised in my hometown when you were little, but now you are my study partner. You will have to live in the palace from time to time in the future, and you and I will have to eat and live together."
The third princess patted Azhi's shoulder with a serious face.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about being bullied after entering the palace. I will definitely protect you."
Seeing the other person's "I am very righteous" look, Azhi smiled and bowed.
"Thank you, Third Princess."
"You're welcome."
The two looked at the koi for a while, but unexpectedly the third princess was called away.
Before she left, she told Ah Zhi, "Brother Crown Prince has something to ask me, please wait for me here first."
"Yes."
Azhi stood gracefully on the arch bridge, and Tonghua came forward and gently supported Azhi.
"Miss, the wind on this bridge is a bit strong, why don't we go down first."
But Azhi shook his head slightly.
"I want to see the koi again."
The breeze lifted the black hair on her forehead, and her slender fingers gently hooked the hair and tucked it behind her ear, leaving only her side profile as bright and white as the moon exposed.
The woman stood on the bridge and looked down at the lake.
There is a hint of softness in the coldness, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.
The sound of footsteps made Azhi look back.
What caught my eye was the four-clawed golden dragon cannon.
The man in front of me should be the crown prince of the current dynasty.
He had deep brows and thin lips, and wore a golden crown with a four-clawed dragon pattern on his head. He had a very gentle smile on his face.
How to describe the other person's handsomeness? Probably his eyes are as vast and boundless as stars.
No wonder Zhou Jingyi is trying so hard to become the Crown Princess.
The other party has the status of crown prince and has a handsome face.
Any woman would probably be moved.
"Miss Tuesday."
Fang Qingyu spoke to bring Azhi back to his senses.
I lost my composure in front of the prince.
Ah Zhi blushed and knelt down and bowed.
"My daughter has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Her voice was soft and lively, with some subtle meaning falling into her ears.
Fang Qingyu couldn't help but look at her twice more.
"Miss Tuesday, there's no need to be polite. Please stand up."
Fang Qingyu originally intended to get close to Azhi only for Zhou Song's military power, even though he was already the crown prince.
But Emperor Wen was in his prime, and the Second Prince was the same age as him, which forced Fang Qingyu to think more about himself.
Ah Zhi stood up with her cheeks flushed. As Fang Qingyu approached, her body couldn't help but tremble. She took two steps back before she could calm herself down.
Changsi Pavilion trains Yangzhou's skinny horses, and teaches them piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry.
A woman can talk with a man on the bed, and once on the bed, she can flirt with the man.
She was still a virgin, but the books she had read and the obscene music she had heard had made her body extremely sensitive.
Azhi had the ability to control herself, but she allowed her body to emit bursts of fragrance.
Therefore, when Fang Qingyu approached Azhi, a faint fragrance surrounded his nose.
Pure and charming, captivating.
He subconsciously looked at Azhi.
But what caught my eye was the other person's snow-white and delicate neck.
The other person's burning gaze fell on him, making Ahzhi feel his skin getting hot.
Ah Zhi was twisting his handkerchief, at a loss, his voice trembling slightly with a hint of weakness and helplessness.
"Your Highness, why are you staring at me like that? But did I do anything wrong?"
Sky blue is an extremely cool color.
But when worn on Azhi, it makes her look more delicate and beautiful.
Her charming appearance really made Fang Qingyu's heart beat faster.
Fang Qingyu came back to his senses and coughed lightly.
"I just remembered Miss Zhou Er playing the guzheng just now. It was like a dream, like a fairy on the moon. I never thought that when I meet you now, you are so timid."
It was obviously a joke, but it made Ahzhi blush.
The little hands, as white and tender as silk, had just nervously stirred the handkerchief and were now fiddling with the belt tied around the waist.
She really acted like a little woman.
She bit her lower lip lightly and spoke softly.
"Your Highness, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
The four words "Your Highness the Crown Prince" came out of Azhi's mouth with an indescribable tenderness.
Fang Qingyu's Adam's apple twitched slightly, but he controlled himself and turned his head to look at the koi in the lake.
"Miss Tuesday, do you like incense on weekdays?"
"fragrant?"
Ah Zhi was stunned for a moment, then remembered something. She twisted the handkerchief to her lips and bit it lightly with her red lips.
That delicate face was full of shame, and there were ripples in her beautiful eyes...
"Your Highness, I do not need incense."
"But I heard..."
"Your Highness!"
Ah Zhi took two steps forward in a hurry. As soon as she raised her hand, she realized something was wrong. She quickly withdrew her hand, clutched the handkerchief, lowered her eyes and trembled.
As Azhi suddenly approached, the fragrance became stronger.
But it didn't make Fang Qingyu feel pungent, instead he thought it smelled very pleasant.
He took a deep breath subconsciously.
I didn't notice that Ahzhi's delicate body was trembling slightly and she was leaning on the railing with one hand.
Fang Qingyu came to his senses again and felt a little annoyed, thinking that he had been too reckless.
What if Miss Zhou Er gets scared?
Before Fang Qingyu could find another topic to talk about, the third princess came running over with her skirt lifted up menacingly.
She came to Fang Qingyu angrily.
"Brother Crown Prince, you actually tricked me away and bullied Ningning behind my back!"
