Although there is a donation of 30 shi from Fufeng Rice Grain, it is still far from the overall goal of the Empress Dowager.For this reason, Li Jingxuan specially hosted a banquet for the famous meritorious relatives of Kangyang Mansion to create momentum for the second grain merchants conference.When the noble relatives heard that she brought five hundred guards to make a big disturbance in Prince Xiao's mansion, they were all afraid and dared not not come, so this banquet gathered almost all the dignitaries, celebrities and merchants in Kangyang City.The scale of the scene is no small matter.

The words were divided into two parts, since Hua Qing was locked in the room, she felt a little disheartened.I don't know what method Li Jingzhu will use to deal with her.Therefore, when the two maids brought a big box again, she didn't react immediately.

The box seemed to be much heavier than last time, and it fell to the ground with a bang, bending the shoulders of the two slender girls.

When it was opened, it was a box full of books.

Hua Qing was puzzled.

The maid, who was finally relieved, handed her a bell behind her back, seemingly feeling very relaxed and happy, and said happily with her chin raised: "Your Highness has ordered that from now on, every time you finish reading a book, you should ring the bell. Miss Xu Huaqing went to the yard to let the wind go for half an hour."

"..."

Hua Qing shook the dull bell in surprise, realizing that she was really going to "go to jail".For some reason, a smile suddenly escaped from his cheeks.Calmly, he pulled out a book from the box, flipped through it, and acted like a caged bird with peace of mind.

For seven days in a row, he came out on time at night to let the wind go.Only when I got up this morning, I heard the sound of drums and people in the front yard, as if a banquet was being held.She has always been lively, so she couldn't help being curious, and peeked through the crack of the door, but she couldn't see anything.This was the first time I felt the desolation of being left out in the cold.

Then I went to the box and pulled out a whole 24 copies of "The History of the Yurui Dynasty". They stacked them on the table and sang along with the opera while ringing the bell: "People are Lingtouyun, who cares about gathering and dispersing?" .You are like a lone cloud, where can I return, and I am like a wild goose.”

Shaking the bell loudly, attracted the dedicated prison officer sister Guan to rush in, and she pointed to the book and said: "Sisters, do you want to take a long vacation?"

However, it was said that Li Jingchen had invited meritorious relatives to a banquet to create momentum for the grain merchants conference. When the wine was half drunk, it was suddenly heard outside the door that Prince Xiao's chariot had arrived.Although Li Jingchen was disgusted with this Uncle Wang who came here uninvited during the holidays, it was not easy to turn him away, he just asked Yun Zhong to step up his guard.

I saw Li Pingsu swaggeringly walked to the banquet, saluted and entered the table without much greetings.Just watching the singing and dancing on the stage peacefully, grinning from time to time, with an unfathomable look.Li Jingchen looked sideways frequently, not knowing what his purpose was.

Thirty days after drinking, Yun Zhong hurried up the steps and leaned into Li Jingchen's ear, "Your Highness, an imperial edict has arrived!"

Hearing this, Li Jingchen hurriedly stopped singing and dancing, and asked people to prepare for the incense table, and led everyone to kneel down in the field to receive the order.

The person in the inner palace stood on the middle stage holding the auspicious cloud decree, and said loudly: "The empress dowager received the decree and issued the decree: I have always declared filial piety, respected kindness, and dared not disobey. I ordered you to come to the south of the Yangtze River to raise food, Jier Concentrate on business and share my worries. How can you be distracted and search the palace without evidence? I hereby honor the empress dowager's benevolent order, and punish you and Xiao Junwang to serve three glasses of wine to stop fighting. Don't be contemptuous and cause trouble again. Qin this."

Li Jingchen kowtowed at the leader's decree, his complexion sank to the extreme.

"The empress dowager ordered the empress dowager to execute it immediately. Dare I ask where is Xiao Junwang?"

Li Pingsu stood up, held his head high, and kept his eyes straight.The palace people smiled all over their faces, "Prince Xiao Jun, please come to the table first, Empress Dowager, please serve wine."

Li Jingchen clenched his fists tightly, his chest was filled with anger, his nails were about to sink into his flesh.The majestic crown prince of a country was ordered to serve wine to the county king in full view. This was a shameful humiliation that she had never encountered in her life. The mother and son made it clear that they wanted to humiliate her, embarrass her in public, and vent their personal anger.

The guards brought three glasses of wine, and the empress dowager picked up one glass stiffly, and walked slowly to Li Pingsu.An extremely suppressed and patient redness spread around the eye sockets.In the eyes of King Xiao, it was even more joyful than being in bliss. I felt that the anger I had suffered in half my life was recovered today!

Seeing the empress dowager bowing down and offering the wine to King Xiao, she choked for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "Uncle Wang, Gu has offended me a lot earlier, for the sake of my niece's young age, please don't take it for granted."

The rest of the nobles and others knelt down on the ground, secretly frightened, not daring to raise their heads.

Seeing that Xiao Wang didn't seem to see it, he triumphantly cut off the tendrils on his lips, and even closed his eyes.

Yun Zhong gritted his teeth with hatred, and the Setting Sun Sword in his hand was ringing, wishing he could split the old man in half.

Bao Siniang, who lived at the end of the banquet, looked at Li Jingchen's back stubbornly holding a lamp in the crowd, her eyes turned red with distress and guilt, if she didn't want to rescue Hua Qing, she wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation at all.

The palace servant seemed to be waiting for him to get enough airs before reminding him with a half-smile: "Prince Xiao, Your Highness has brought wine."

Only then did Li Pingsu slowly open his eyes, and let out a cold snort of disdain from his nose, "Forget it!" He took the wine and drank it down, hitting the glass hard on the table: "Hmph, Your Highness is getting old now, Relying on the support of the princes, his temper has become more and more outward, and he doesn't take his uncles and elders seriously. The queen mother and the emperor wanted to punish them severely, but this king was thinking of his uncle and nephew's love and pleaded for mercy, so that he was spared the heavy punishment. Your Highness, please don't hold grudges, and don't take the advice of the Queen Mother and the Emperor as a deaf ear, then our family will still be a family."

Li Jingchen resisted the urge to splash the wine on his face, said: "What Uncle Wang said is right!" He continued to serve the wine numbly.Seeing Xiao Wang's eyes, he hated her posturing demeanor even more.

After three glasses of wine, everyone has already seen the direction of the court.They came to toast Xiao Wang one after another.

But King Xiao didn't accept it at all, and put down his words in public: "I have heard that His Highness is raising grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and he relies on this prominent grain merchant everywhere. If it's not Uncle Wang, I have to interrupt. This merchant is a merchant, and he values ​​profit over justice. No matter whether he is in Beijing or outside, he should not be given such great power. To fight against tigers, you have to rely on your own brothers. Those Fufeng rice grains and so on want to rely on donating a few stones of grain to get to the top. Idiots talking about dreams! I don’t even think about my own weight, and it’s not up to her, a woman, to intervene in the grain and business circles in the south of the Yangtze River!” After that, she threw down her sleeves and left.

As soon as he left, many nobles who followed suit also resigned and left.

Bao Siniang was sitting on pins and needles, her face was flushed, and she felt that thousands of sharp swords were thrown at her in an instant.There was tears in his eyes, he didn't want to be humiliated here, let alone embarrass Li Jingchen, so he also resigned and left.

Li Jingzhu originally intended to launch her today, but now he has no interest, so he can only acquiesce.Looking coldly at the half-empty seats, the hot wine penetrated into the lungs along the throat, which was indescribably painful and cold.

"It was a good banquet, and it was all messed up by King Xiao! Look at his arrogant arrogance, the crown prince condescended to serve wine, what a condescension, it's fine if he doesn't refuse, he dares to pretend not to accept it! Yes Is it bearable or unbearable!"

After the banquet, the East Palace staff gathered in the study, all gritted their teeth with hatred.

"What can I do if I can't bear it? Now even the emperor is on his side. In my opinion, His Highness shouldn't have provoked him in the first place! This living hell king was already hated by gods and ghosts, and he was about to die, but now he is relying on the queen mother." The momentum has become powerful again!"

"Huh, if you don't recruit him, won't he come to recruit you? This Xiao Wang is not completely ambitious! Listen to what he said at the table, you have to rely on your own brothers to fight a tiger, isn't it just referring to himself? This is to get involved in the Jiangnan granary!!"

"To be disrespectful, the emperor would actually believe his one-sided words! When the crown prince was in power, how could the empress dowager Yan's mother and son be as arrogant as they are now? They also bullied His Royal Highness's daughter-in-law and successor. They thought there was an opportunity, so they gave birth again. Evil thoughts."

Just as he was talking, Yun Zhong entered the hall, and the debate was suddenly silent. "Your Highness has ordered that the council will not be held if you are not feeling well today. Please come back, my lords, and don't worry about this matter anymore. Your Highness has made his own decision!" Everyone shook their heads and sighed after hearing this, and left one after another.

In the backyard, the archery target had already been set up. Li Jingzhu was standing fifty steps away, holding a short silver bow in his hand. There was a "bang", and the arrow pierced fiercely into the red heart of the wooden rake.But there was no applause from the onlookers, instead everyone was silent.Everyone knew that she had been humiliated at the banquet, and even those who were worried like a cloud did not dare to come forward to dissuade her.

After shooting more than twenty arrows in a row, her fingertips were worn out, and she still had no intention of stopping.Seeing that the red hearts were filled by her, the Crown Princess suddenly stared at the row of four seasons crabapple behind the target, and stretched her bow again, but heard a "swish", and the bright and bright crabapple flower in the middle fell to the ground. Then there was another "crash", and the flower pot shattered.The flower bones fell here and there, and the soil was scattered all over the ground.The empress dowager, whose heart and lungs were a little burnt after drinking, quickly fell in love with this game of destruction, and instead shot the crabapple with an arrow, the sound of "crashing" was more exhilarating than the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves!

But at this moment a figure rushed out, picked up the last pot of intact flowers, and dodged aside like a calf.The emperor's daughter's arrow followed, but it missed.Can't help being annoyed, he quickly nocked the arrow and wound up, wanting to shoot again.

Hua Qing saw that the situation was not good, but she refused to let go, and quickly ran into the house with the flowers.

Li Jingchen squinted his eyes, followed her trail, and sent the arrow out with a "swish".Hua Qing felt a chill behind her back, and the hair fluttered lightly in her ears, and the arrow carried a sharp sound, "Bang!" It hit the door two steps away, shaking the tightly closed two The wooden door was shaking violently.

There was still a clank ringing in her ears, beating her chest like a heartbeat, turning around with lingering fear, only to see a pair of fierce red eyes staring at her coldly.Without a trace of hesitation, he drew the bowstring again.Hua Qing was stunned for a moment, then had no choice but to put the flower pot by her feet again, and moved half a step away.There was a "plop, splash", and the cold mud splashed in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes subconsciously, letting the wet mud hit her face, and her heart also went cold.

The crown princess shot all the flower pots, and finally gave up, like a brat who had given up his anger, leaving a mess all over the courtyard, and walked away.Seeing such a bad side of her, Hua Qing couldn't help frowning into a "Sichuan".The perfect impression of this empress dowager is somewhat subverted.

Evening, study.

Yun Zhong was still furious, so he suggested: "Your Highness, since we can't understand clearly, let him hide it. As long as His Highness sends a word, even if his palace is heavily guarded, Yue Zhong and I can break in." Squeeze some of his beards and come back. Killing his prestige will guarantee that he will not dare to act wild again in the future."

Li Jingchen glanced at him coldly, "What do you want to do? How did Gu Pingfan teach you, that ordinary people fight between emotions!"

Yun Zhong lowered his head in fright.But there is still resentment in my heart.

Li Jingchen looked calm: "Your Majesty may not be really confused. The imperial decree only said that if there is no real evidence in a solitary investigation, he will search the palace without authorization! If there is evidence in the solitary investigation, it will not be regarded as an expert search!"

Yun Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, "So that's the case, it's my fault."

At this moment, the servant girl hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, Miss Hua Qing is tearing up your book in the room."

Li Jingchen frowned upon hearing this, "Let her tear it up, don't have to report me."

After a while, "Miss Hua Qing didn't tear it up again. She said that His Highness smashed her twelve potted flowers, and she used His Highness's twelve books to pay off the debt. No more, no less, just finished tearing up. I went to count them." , really twelve books."

Yun Zhong was stunned.

Li Jingchen suddenly put down his pen when he heard the words, bypassed the book case and went to Hua Qing's residence.

Pushing open the door, she saw that the ground was covered with discarded paper balls that had been rubbed violently. She hurriedly searched in the box, and found that her twelve rare collections of sages' anthologies were gone, so she picked up a paper ball at her feet Disassembled, it is the content of the dismembered anthology.

"You!!!" The empress dowager was so angry that she turned around and saw that the culprit was sitting comfortably on the bedside, flipping through another collection of poems, scribbling with a pen while flipping through.The empress dowager blushed with anger, and snatched it away, making a gesture to hit her on the head.

"Huh?" Hua Qing didn't dodge, pretending to be innocent, and said, "Didn't they tell His Highness? I was worried that His Highness smashed my flower pot, and I felt guilty, so I helped His Highness tear up a few books. Make full compensation, so His Highness doesn't have to blame himself."

After finishing speaking, he raised an innocent and harmless smiling face, but the words he said were all thorns, "If your highness feels that you have lost money, you might as well shoot me again. Anyway, in your eyes, how much is human life worth?"

At that moment, the emotion in Li Jingchen's eyes changed a few times, a trace of incomprehensible red pervaded, making Hua Qing suspect that she was delusional.It wasn't until the loud sound of falling books, accompanied by the earth-shattering sound of slamming doors, that she walked further and further away, that she recovered from the ridicule.Isn't it a bit too much to reflect on what I just did next?

snort!Who told her to use others as targets? !She just gave back a little bit of color.
