Heavenly Proud Girl 005: Riot

  After Ba Li Si Qing got out of bed, the jade stone floor had already been covered with a rug, soft and absorbent under her feet, the embroidered flying dragon patterned golden silk rug was trampled into clouds.

  Chen Zheng's ears were extremely sensitive, and when she got up, she personally carried a basin of clear water into the palace.

  Baoli Siqing didn't change her clothes, the big red cloak was taken off, inside was an apricot-red tight-waisted long skirt, and her high-bundled hair was simple and refreshing.

  She took the towel handed over by Chen Zheng, simply wiped her face and walked out, "Why haven't you returned to serve His Majesty yet?"

  Chen Gonggong smiled and lifted the curtain for her first, "I'll wait on you until you finish your meal, then I'll be back."

  Die Xiang and Die Yi changed back into their palace maid uniforms, abandoning their casual demeanor outside, and served her with elegance and caution.

  Baili Siqing sat down and ate two mouthfuls when she heard people from Qingzhao Palace come to pay their respects.

  Dieyi went out for a moment and came back with a small box, "Wan Zhao Yi sent someone to deliver something, saying it was to apologize to the princess."

  Mr. Chen glanced at what was in her hand with disdain, having a mind of his own!

  Who is she trying to impress? He can't wait for her to make a scene in front of the Emperor and then be thrown into the Cold Palace!

  When he saw Baili Siqing frowning, he immediately picked out the heavy and light ones and told the story from beginning to end, not forgetting to dig up the ancestors of the Wan family for eight generations.

  Baili Siqing sneered, "The county magistrate's daughter, Father Emperor can swallow his pride."

  Which of the women in the palace was not a daughter of a high-ranking official? Unexpectedly, two years ago, she had just left the palace when the emperor began to select concubines on a large scale, taking in a group of low-born women and even adding a younger brother for her.

  Ba Li Si Qing said without hesitation: "Return the things."

  The butterfly clothes immediately threw the box to the little palace girl outside.

  Baili Siqing continued to eat slowly and calmly, but also listened to others' words. The governor of Jingzhao, Zhu Wei, was kneeling outside the palace gate, begging for forgiveness with a bundle of thorns on his back.

  "Ptoo! According to the slave, the princess should have killed that scoundrel on the spot!" Die Xiang said indignantly. Zhu Zhao Yin is now kneeling in front of the palace gate, and it's clear without guessing that he's indirectly pleading for Zhu Man.

  Lord Chen was furious after understanding the situation! What kind of scoundrel dared to flirt with a royal princess! Fortunately, Gao Yang's precious heart is kind, so he only punished him by hanging him at the city gate. If he had been present at the time, he would have torn that scoundrel into five pieces!

  He kicked his foot at the non-existent dust on the ground and said, "Let's go take a look!"

  As soon as he went out, he learned that Emperor Jing'an had already summoned him to the South Study. The little eunuch who accompanied him also brought an imperial edict to invite Baili Siqing.

  Baili Siqing didn't want to go at first, but thinking of the Jing'an Emperor who had just come to see her, she threw down her chopsticks and said, "Lead the way!"

  After Zhu Wei left the Yue Wang Fu, he knelt down in front of the palace gate. When he was summoned by Emperor Jing'an to the Shangshu House, his face was still flustered. Before he could even stand up straight, he knelt down again on the ground. "This minister deserves death! It's all because this minister failed to discipline him properly that the unfilial son dared to offend Princess Gaoyang! I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

  What happened outside the palace can be investigated with a little effort, and Emperor Jing'an's face was very unsightly at this time. However, when he saw Zhu Wei's straightforward admission, for the time being, he couldn't take any action against him.

  "I, a guilty minister, deserve to die! I beg Your Majesty to mete out punishment!" The floor of the Southern Study was made of the hardest marble, and Zhu Wei's head knocked against it, thud after thud, making a heavy sound.

  When Baili Qingyue arrived at Nan Shufang, Zhu Wei's forehead was already stained with a layer of blood.

  The Emperor Jing'an saw her enter, with a quiet light shining down on her long hair like silk falling to her waist, outlining her slender and elegant figure, her short boots walking silently without a sound.

  "Your son has arrived to pay his respects, Your Majesty." Ba Li Si Qing stood stiffly in front of the yellow desk.

  The low and stiff voice of greeting fell into the ears of Emperor Jing'an, but it made him extremely happy. He endured for a long time before he didn't let himself look abnormal, and only asked Yan Yuese: "Gao Yang, I heard that Zhu Zhao's son offended you with his words, and you ordered someone to strip him of his clothes and hang him on the city gate. Is this true?"

  Zhu Wei immediately turned to Baili Siqing, kowtowed and said: "This minister's teachings were not strict! I beg the princess to forgive my crime!"

  He seemed to be genuinely sincere, but his face was extremely gloomy.

  Ba Li thought for a moment, then nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

  Zhu Wei immediately said: "To be honest with you, Princess, it's actually a misunderstanding —"

  Chen Zheng stood behind Emperor Jing'an, staring fiercely at Zhu Wei on the ground. "Looking down on the princess is a heinous crime punishable by beheading nine clans! In my opinion, you can be taken away and executed directly!"

  Zhu Wei suddenly raised his head and glared at him, "Eunuch Chen, don't forget your position!" Eunuchs interfering in politics deserve to be killed!

  Chen Zheng raised his chin, "I am loyal to the imperial family!" Daring to flirt with the princess, annihilate the clan!

  "You——"

  "Enough! All of you, be quiet!" Emperor Jing'an said with an unexpected expression.

  He then looked at Zhu Wei with a bland expression, "Zhu Ai Qie, what do you mean by 'misunderstanding'?"

  Zhu Wei immediately fell to the ground and quickly arranged his words: "The villain has heard of Princess Gaoyang's virtuous and sacred virtues since childhood, and has long admired her. When he learned that the princess had recently returned to the capital, he wandered around the streets of the capital every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of the princess's sacred appearance. Today, when he suddenly saw the princess return to the capital, he was overjoyed and lost his composure. The villain knows that this matter has damaged the princess's reputation, so he dares to beg for forgiveness on behalf of the villain. If the princess is willing, the villain will definitely take responsibility for the princess, and the villain will also lead the entire household to kneel at the door to welcome her, and in the future, he will serve her with all his heart..."

  He had already investigated earlier, and when Ba Li Si Qing arrived in Kyoto, he did not personally see Jun Er being rude to the woman. The Imperial Guard had been bribed by him, and the news received by Your Majesty was also processed by Yue Wang. Those few troublemakers were never worth worrying about. And that little woman jumped into the lake and drowned after leaving the hospital, now dead without any evidence, and the crime is no more than Jun Er's verbal indiscretion.

  The king of Yue is right, the most important thing for women in the world is their reputation. Even princesses cannot escape the worldly shackles. As long as they have a mind to embellish it, how can they not damage her reputation?

  He spoke to himself, completely unaware that everyone in the Nan Shu Fang, including Emperor Jing'an, had turned pale.

  Baili Siqing sneered as she listened to his words, and with a swift motion, she picked up the seal from the dragon case and hurled it at him. "Zhu Zhaojin's words are truly glib! Is he trying to seduce me under the guise of admiration? Does that mean I've become a prostitute for anyone to deceive?! Furthermore, in this vast and prosperous capital city, your Zhu family is nothing but a mere shallot!"

  Zhu Wei did not expect that Princess Gaoyang would take action against him in front of Emperor Jing'an, and his head was instantly stunned by the imperial seal, and he could no longer continue speaking.

  He clutched his head in pain, just as he lifted it up, the other inkstone came straight at his face, and the sharp corner of the inkstone landed squarely on his forehead. The dark ink poured down, wetting his entire face, and even the crimson blood flowing down was dyed into black ink.

  He fainted at once.

  "What nonsense!" Emperor Jing'an slammed his hand on the dragon-shaped desk.

  The guards at the palace gate hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, the second prince of Jin is seeking an audience outside the palace."
