"You have read poetry and books and have the world in mind. Why don't you dare to speak out and accept advice? If you do well, you can leave a name in history." Banhua's fingertips were as tender as green onions. She raised her chin slightly, looking very happy. Arrogant, several officials felt annoyed at being looked down upon.
"Military generals gain a good reputation by defeating foreign enemies and guarding the borders. Civil servants naturally stabilize the country and shed their blood for the people and will be remembered for generations." Banhua raised his eyes slightly, and he was so noble, "Why do you come to embarrass me? Weak woman?"
"If our advice is useful, we will not trouble the princess today..."
"Aren't you still standing here well?" Banhua lowered his eyelids and lowered his head to hold the fine porcelain official kiln tea cup on the table, "If the adults' advice is useless, I will go to the palace to see His Majesty anyway. ”
This is almost not said clearly. You should die first. How do you know that admonishment is useless if you are not dead?
"What a princess of Fule," an official said angrily, "it's because there are too many people like you who are just living on the corpses that you have ruined my great cause and made the people of the world starved of food and clothing... …”
"Is this gentleman's surname Wang? I remember that you made it clear outside that the Ban family was ridiculous and useless, and that they were worms in the court." Banhua chuckled, "Master Wang is so strong-willed and honest, how can you let me do this? If you ask someone to help you, won’t it ruin your reputation?”
As soon as these words came out, the furious officials suddenly looked like frustrated frogs, with their mouths wide open but speechless. He did say this in front of several colleagues, but he never said these words in a crowded place. How did Princess Fule know?
Did a colleague deliberately spread what he said to Princess Fule in order to please the Ban family?
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Wang." Banhua glanced at these people. These officials avoided Banhua's sight uncomfortably and did not dare to look directly into her eyes. "You are not the first one to say bad things about me. I'm not the last one. If you feel lonely without anyone commenting on you in this life, I don't blame you."
Banhua is talking about you, not you.
Seeing that several of his colleagues looked uncomfortable, Mr. Wang felt less embarrassed. At least he was not the only one who made such a mistake.
Among these people, only the new champion stood in front of Banhua without being humble or arrogant, and did not avoid her sight. He never said anything bad about Banhua, and even argued with someone about Banhua after Xie Qilin eloped.
It’s just that he was not the top pick at that time, and no one cared what he said.
"I'm sorry I can't help you, please go back."
Other officials wanted to talk more, so the new top scholar bowed: "I'll excuse you and take my leave."
"If you come to visit your home and don't write a greeting card or bring a gift, is this a person who knows the rules?" After these people left, Ban Heng snorted coldly, "Don't worry about them. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and criticize the world. The result is this At this critical moment, they don’t dare to offend His Majesty, but they let you go, which is really shameless.”
"Since you know they are such people, why are you angry?" Banhua chuckled, his tone full of ridicule, "When they gossiped about me, they never thought that I would be here today. I can’t even raise my head in front of me.”
"This tells us something. Do you know what it is?"
“You can’t speak ill of people behind their back?”
"No," Ban Hua shook his head, "When you speak ill of someone, you have to choose the occasion. Colleagues and friends may not be reliable. That man named Wang said something bad, and someone came to report him that afternoon just to please me. Him. So in the face of power and interests, there are many rats who are willing to be villains. There are loyal and good friends in the world, but not everyone is."
"Sister, do you want me to stop saying everything in front of my friends?" Ban Heng blinked, "Don't worry, even if I want to tell people some shocking secret, I don't know what to say. Yeah."
"That makes sense."
Nearly ten days later, the capital was still extremely hot. Suddenly, an imperial edict came from the palace, summoning Marquis Chengan to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Unexpectedly, when Marquis Chengan was halfway through, he fainted because of the cracked wound and the hot weather. Fell in the carriage. In the end, His Majesty could only ask the guards to send Marquis Cheng'an back to his residence, and the matter of meeting the emperor was settled.
After Cheng'an Hou woke up, he was extremely frightened and sent two apology memorials. However, His Majesty could not bear to punish Cheng'an Hou. Instead of blaming him, he not only did not blame him, but also allowed him to rest in peace and take care of his body, and also rewarded him with many qi and health benefits. something to show that you value it.
The seriously ill Marquis Cheng'an was unable to enter the palace, but others already knew how much he was valued by His Majesty. The courtiers who had supported the prince's lineage in the past began to show their favor to him intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone knows that the Second Prince and Marquis Cheng'an are not at odds with each other. The Crown Prince has always admired Marquis Cheng An, and once said in public that "a gentleman should be like Junbo", so the officials in the Prince's lineage all want to be Marquis An. If you can help the prince to plead for mercy, at least you can't let the second prince sit in this position.
Even Shi Chonghai, who originally had an unharmonious relationship with Marquis Cheng'an, has been saying good things about Marquis Cheng'an from time to time recently to express his position.
Many people did not want the second prince to ascend the throne, especially when new news came from the disaster-stricken counties and counties, saying that many refugees were shot dead by the garrison, the criticism about the second prince in the court was even greater than the tide.
The officials who came to ask Banhua to help him say good things did not come to the gate of Dayue Palace to give advice. They just wrote poems about the country and the people to express their inner anger and worries. The only scholar who knelt in front of the Dayue Palace and begged His Majesty to see him, he knelt in front of the Dayue Palace for four or five hours. Finally, he fainted under the scorching sun and did not see Emperor Yunqing. Instead, he angered the Second Prince and his group. Officials were eventually kicked out of their official posts and were idle at home.
After hearing the news, Banhua raised his eyebrows: "Finally, a truly **** person has emerged. This champion, what is his name?"
"Chen Yang, whose courtesy name is He Yang, is from Xuezhou," the guard replied. "People outside laugh at him because he is a young man who doesn't know how to be generous, which is why he ends up like this."
"His move was indeed a bit impulsive, but it takes people like this who don't know the heights of heaven and earth to stand up for justice." Banhua put down the sandalwood fan in his hand, "Let someone prepare a gift and deliver it in my name." Let’s go to Chen Zhuangyuan’s home.”
"Princess, this Chen Zhuangyuan does not have a mansion, and he still lives in a rented courtyard," the guard said, "Now that he has lost his official position, I am afraid he cannot even afford to rent a courtyard."
"Then add another three hundred taels of silver and send it over." For Banhua, let alone three hundred taels, even if it were to be given away with three thousand taels, it would only be a matter of a few words, but she knew very well in her heart that With Chen Zhuangyuan's character, if the silver taels were more than a few hundred taels, he would not accept it even if he was beaten to death.
"Princess, is there something wrong with this?"
"What's wrong? Who in the entire capital doesn't know that the second prince and I are disgusted with each other. He doesn't like people, so what's the matter if I'm willing to help?" Banhua sneered, "He's still here now. It's just that Prince Ning is not the king of our Daye Dynasty, so what can he do to me?"
Her title was conferred by Emperor Yunqing. Jiang Luo doesn't dare to touch her even if it is considered a decoration from the neck up.
"Yes, I will do it now."
Ever since he had a heatstroke outside Dayue Palace, Chen Heyang became seriously ill. He stayed at home for several days, but did not fully recover. Several colleagues visited him once or twice and said that he was too impulsive and should be cautious when doing big things.
Later on, these colleagues gradually came less and less. He was short of money, so he had to **** some items to pay the rent for the second half of the year. Life was really difficult.
When he heard the book boy say that Princess Fule was escorting her to see him, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. Ten days ago, they went to see Princess Fule, but were teased by the princess. Could it be that they sent someone here to laugh at him again?
Although he was suspicious, he did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly welcomed the person in.
The person who came here was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. He had an ordinary appearance but a majestic aura. At first glance, he looked like a Lian Jiazi. Behind him were several boys carrying gift boxes and carrying burdens. They were all decently dressed and looked honest and honest.
"The princess heard about Chen Zhuangyuan's feats and admired Chen Zhuangyuan's character very much. These small gifts are the princess's heartfelt wishes. Please don't refuse Chen Zhuangyuan." Now Chen Heyang has lost his official position, but his fame is still there, and he has the honorific title "Chen Zhuangyuan" is already the most respectful name.
Chen Heyang did not expect that what he would receive was not ridicule, but a solemn gift. Looking at this pile of gifts, there are medicinal materials, cloth, and meat, all of which are practical things. Presumably, the noble princess considered her own difficulties and gave him something for this reason.
For a moment, Chen Heyang felt mixed emotions. He stood up and saluted the guard: "The princess appreciates her kindness, but these are just..."
"The princess said that if Chen Zhuangyuan doesn't care about these things, just throw them away. She never likes things returned by others when she gives them away." The guard stood up and saluted Chen Heyang, "Please Chen Heyang Don’t make things difficult for me as the top pick.”
"This..."
The guard did not wait for him to speak and said directly: "Farewell."
"Hey, wait!" Poor Chen Heyang is a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken, and is still ill. His hands and feet are not as fast as the guards. By the time he catches up to the door, the guards will be long gone. He left on horseback.
"The Duke Jingting's mansion is so prominent, even the servants are equipped with horses." The book boy supported Chen Heyang, his eyes full of envy.
Chen Heyang smiled bitterly when he heard this. There are many noble people in the capital, but there are really not many people as prominent as Jingting Gongfu. He is a poor scholar with no power, and now he has no use value at all. No one dares to help him openly, but this princess has sent her servants to help him in a big way. Feeling strange.
Back in the study, Chen Heyang looked at the poems he had written after being frustrated on the table. After a long time, he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
A true man should act without regrets and act without doubt.
"Master, Master," the book boy suddenly came in with a black bag in his arms, "I discovered this."
Chen Heyang opened the bag and saw that there were more than ten taels of broken silver, a few strings of copper coins, and three 100-tael silver notes inside.
At this moment, Chen Heyang felt that the yellow and white thing in his hand weighed more than a thousand gold.
The next day, Banhua received an IOU in the amount of three hundred taels. The paper on the IOU was very beautifully written. After Banhua took a look at it, he handed the IOU to Ruyi and said, "Put it away."
This Chen Heyang is an interesting person. He did not send things back in a pedantic way, nor did he convert the gifts she gave into prices and include them in this IOU. He accepted her affection and upheld his principles. .
"He is an upright person but not too stubborn," Ban Hua said to Ban Heng who was sitting with him. "Such a person can barely be called a gentleman."
Ban Heng raised his eyebrows: "I thought that after you have been with Lord Rong for a long time, your standards for gentlemen have improved."
Banhua smiled when he heard this: "I am a tolerant person."
"Then I really didn't see it." Ban Heng muttered softly.
Ban Hua looked at him with a smile and said nothing. He lowered his head and drank tea silently without saying another word.
The time has entered July, and God seems to have finally remembered that it has not rained recently. The first dark cloud finally appeared in the sky above the capital.
Banhua got off the horse and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. Is it going to rain?
When the servants guarding the gate of Rong Mansion saw Banhua, they immediately greeted him warmly: "I have seen the princess before."
"No need to be polite." As soon as Banhua stepped through the door, big raindrops fell. She was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
The servants in Rong Xia's mansion knew the rules very well, but when the raindrops fell, she still heard some people's screams of joy. It can be seen how many people have been looking forward to this rain and how long they have been looking forward to it.
She stood under the corridor, watching the rain turn into a downpour in the blink of an eye, and seemed to feel a heat evaporating from the ground.
"Princess, please be careful not to let the rain splash the hem of your skirt." The two maids stood in front of Banhua to prevent the rain from splashing on her.
"No problem," Banhua saw two little maids standing in front of him and pulled them back, "Be careful, don't get yourselves wet."
"Princess..." The two maids looked at Banhua blankly, with a touch of emotion in their eyes.
Amidst the rain, Rong Xia came slowly holding an umbrella. He walked up the steps and looked at Banhua, who was chatting and laughing with several maids. He hadn't seen him yet and said softly, "婳婷."
"Why are you here?" Banhua turned around and looked at the man holding the umbrella, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, how can you get wet in the rain?"
"I heard that Huahua is coming and it's raining outside. How can I still sit still?" Rong Xia raised the umbrella above Banhua's head and gave her a gentle smile, "You haven't been here for two days."
"It was too hot the past two days and I really didn't want to go out." Banhua walked side by side with him, along the corridor to the Jiuqu Lake Bridge. The rain hitting the umbrella made a thunderous sound.
"Be careful." Rong Xia gently put his arm around her shoulders and tilted the umbrella towards her, "More this way."
Banhua glanced at him with a smile, then turned to look at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake, "The lotus flowers in the rain seem to have a special flavor."
Hearing this, Rong Xia slowed down and accompanied Banhua to slowly enjoy the flowers.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a carp spirit in the lotus pond," Rong Xia looked at the carp happily playing in the water, "She practiced all day long and finally turned into a human form."
"Finally fell in love with a scholar?"
Rong Xia shook his head.
"Later he turned into a **** and flew away."
Banhua: "..."
"Are you telling me this story to scare me?" Banhua squinted.
Rong Xia laughed out loud and said, "Huahua is so smart, you figured it out."
"Should I thank you for the compliment?" Banhua snorted. Before he could say anything else, he saw Rong Xia slipping and about to fall. Banhua hurriedly put her arms around his waist and pulled him back upstairs.
The feeling of being saved by a beauty is...
A little fragrant and a little soft.
Banhua patted Rong Xia's shoulder gently, stretched out her hand to straighten the umbrella, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay," Rong Xia shook his head and smiled, "Thank you Huahua, it's just that your body was soaked by the rain."
Banhua touched her face with the back of her hand and said thankfully: "Fortunately, I didn't use makeup when I went out today, otherwise it would be ugly."
"Appearance is nothing but an external thing. It's just that you'll catch a cold easily if you get caught in the rain." Rong Xia didn't dare to let Banhua get exposed to the rain again, so she held her hand and quickened her pace.
After returning to the main courtyard, Rong Xia asked Xingren to prepare hot water, and then said to Banhua: "I still have some things that need to be handled in the study. I have never used this room, so don't worry."
After saying that, he was worried that Banhua would be embarrassed, so he left in a hurry.
After a while, the hot tub was brought up, and the maid brought clean clothes. One of the two female guards brought by Banhua stood guard outside the door, and the other guarded by the screen, but no one came to disturb them.
After taking a shower, Banhua put on the dress that Rongxiao had ordered her to prepare, and found that the dress fit her surprisingly well. Look at the fabric and style, it looks like it was newly made. She sat lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, her hair spread behind her, and her maid wiped her hair.
"Have any female guests come to your residence?" she asked a maid.
"Back to the princess, because there is no hostess in the house, the Marquis has never had a female guest, but an old lady has come."
"He looks like this, which makes the old ladies like him." Banhua sat up straight, "I'll let someone tell you, Lord Marquis, that I've already changed my clothes."
"Yes."
When Rong Xia came over, he had already changed into a set of clothes, and it looked like he had taken a shower. Seeing him come in, Banhua waved to him, then pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "Master Ronghou, I wonder where these clothes come from?"
"I asked the embroidery lady of my mansion to make it a few days ago," Rong Xia said with a smile, "I was thinking that when you came to my place, if you accidentally spilled the tea or splashed mud on yourself, Clothes without replacement are not beautiful. So I asked Bi Fu Xiu Niang to make clothes that can fit your upper body. It seems that the size is quite suitable."
Ban Hua did not expect Rong Xia to be so attentive, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "I see."
Ban Hua's hair was spread behind her back, like the most beautiful black satin, soft and smooth. Rong Xia's eyes fell on her hair, and she quickly moved her eyes away, "I made someone make **** soup. You drink a little."
"Don't drink it," Banhua frowned, "It's too spicy."
"I asked them to put sugar in the soup, so it's not spicy." Rong Xia knew that Banhua was picky, so she immediately smiled and said, "I'll drink it with you."
Banhua turned around and looked at the door. A maid had already arrived with **** soup. She sighed: "It's such a hot day, how can I keep away the cold?"
Rong Xia didn't speak, just looked at her with a gentle smile, her peach-like eyes filled with affection, which made Banhua unable to resist, so she could only drink the **** soup obediently.
As the saying goes, it is possible to be a ghost under the peony flowers, but her lustful habit probably cannot be changed.
The sky is getting darker, but the rain outside is not letting up at all, as if God is pouring out all the rain accumulated in the past few days.
"Don't go back tonight. I'll send someone to Jingting Palace to accuse you." Rong Xia listened to the patter of rain outside and thunder from time to time. "Don't worry, I will never do anything." Half offended."
As far as Li was concerned, it was not appropriate for Banhua to stay in the Rong family, but the two of them were about to get married. As long as the two families didn't care too much, it wouldn't be a big problem if they stayed the night in a proper manner. Compared with those noble ladies and young men who raise beauties and enjoy themselves in their mansions, Banhua and Rong Xia are as fresh as lotus flowers.
Banhua finally agreed.
After finishing the meal, Rong Xia suddenly said: "I heard that you gave Chen Heyang a gift a few days ago?"
Chen Heyang?
Banhua was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this person was the unlucky Chen Zhuangyuan. So he nodded and said, "Well, I asked someone to bring something to him. Although this person is not as good as you, he is more lovable than those pedantic and sour scholars."
Rong Xia smiled and didn't mention it again.
He had seen Chen Heyang before. Although his appearance could barely be called outstanding, with Huahua's eyes, he naturally looked down on such a handsome person.
Banhua's sleep was a little restless at night, probably because of the loud thunder and rain. Although it was particularly cool tonight, she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she faintly heard the sound of things breaking in the yard where Rong Xia lived next door. She sat up from the bed, hesitated for a moment, then put on her robe and walked out.
"Princess?" The two female guards who were sleeping outside heard the noise coming from the inner room and hurriedly sat up from the couch. They were startled when they saw the princess walking out of the inner room with disheveled hair. "Princess?" Lord, what's wrong with you?"
"I heard something coming from the yard next door, did you hear it?"
"We didn't hear anything."
Tonight there is heavy wind, rain, and thunder. It is difficult to hear the movement in the yard next door.
Ban Hua frowned and said, "Come with me and take a look."
"Yes." The two female guards did not ask Banhua why she wanted to go, but followed her out the door respectfully.
Ban Hua heard it right, something happened in the courtyard where Rong Xia lived. More than a dozen killers in black somehow broke into the inner courtyard, killed two boys guarding outside, and started fighting with several guards hiding in the dark.
If it had been in the past, guards would have been here long ago, but the weather was cool tonight, and the servants who had been hot for many days rarely had a good sleep. In addition, the wind and rain were loud, and it was difficult to spread the movement in the yard.
Du Jiu was holding a sword in his hand, and his whole body was soaked by the rain. His left arm was injured, so he could only rely on his right hand to stop the rushing assassin.
"No matter who sent you as the assassin, we are willing to pay three times the price for you to stop!"
Du Jiu stabbed an assassin who rushed towards him and gasped, "Brothers, you only do this business for money..."
However, these people were obviously very professional at the moment. Before he could finish his words, these assassins rushed up again.
"Master Marquis, stand back." Du Jiu's face was livid. It was probably going to be a fierce battle tonight. The only hope was that someone among them could break through the encirclement and call for help. But these killers were obviously well prepared. The door was blocked by them, and there was no chance for them to get out.
He wiped away the rain and blood on his face, and his expression became ferocious.
Rong Xia was guarded by these guards, but he did not sit idle. Instead, he drew his bow and arrow and shot two killers. His swordsmanship is just a show. Most celebrities in Daye know some swordsmanship, but they are all elegant swordsmanship. Their swordsmanship cannot kill people.
These assassins are well-prepared, their methods are cruel, and their attacks are swift. They are obviously professional killers.
He stood at the door, watching all his guards injured, with no expression on his face. At this time, there was only one person who wanted him dead particularly, and that was Ning Wang Jiang Luo.
Only he would use such a bold but shameful method. King Ning never thought that if he could really ascend to the throne, which courtier would dare to be loyal to an emperor who sent people to assassinate the courtiers? As an emperor, there were many ways to deal with his courtiers, so Jiang Luo chose the lowest method.
Such a person, even if he is lucky enough to become an emperor, will not be able to secure his position.
He calculated everything, but he miscalculated Jiang Luo's brain. This person was more impulsive and stupid than he expected. His appearance may end in various ways, but he cannot die in the hands of a fool.
The arrow feathers were caught on the string, Rong Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, the arrow feathers flew out and penetrated the chest of an assassin, who fell to the ground and died.
"Master Marquis, please go into the room first, and leave this place to your subordinates." Du Jiu turned to look at Rong Xia, "The assassin is ruthless, and my subordinates are worried that you will be injured."
Based on the current situation, he was really worried that he and the other guards wouldn't be able to stop him.
"No need." Rong Xia took another arrow, put it on the bow and said, "You can sacrifice your life for me, but I can't be greedy for life and afraid of death."
Du Jiu's eyes turned red, which is why they were willing to follow the Marquis wholeheartedly.
Sincerity can only be repaid with passion.
Banhua walked outside the courtyard gate and saw that the door of Rong Xia's courtyard was tightly closed, but the sound of weapons clashing came from inside. Her eyes darkened, and her Dantian was filled with anger, "There is an assassin, catch the assassin!"
Women's voices can pierce the sky when they need it.
Banhua's scream was enough to wake up the entire Cheng'an Marquis Mansion from their sleep, and also startled the assassins in the yard. As soon as Ban Hua's voice fell, an assassin rushed out with his sword raised.
Turning around neatly, Banhua pulled out the sword from the female guard's hand with his backhand and stabbed it with the sword. The assassin who rushed towards him fell down with his eyes open before he could react.
Women...
A woman who can use a backhand sword...
The moment his whole world fell into darkness, his eyes were full of disbelief.
As killers, most of them don't end well, but he never imagined that he would eventually be defeated at the hands of a woman.
Banhua didn't dare to look at the person lying on the ground. She lifted up her skirt, kicked open the half-open door, and rushed in with her sword.
