Zheng Qingyun raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Sister, not only is she gorgeous, she is also recognized as a prosperous husband. It is because of your silent support that Prince Ding's palace is as strong as it is today."
"Don't talk about Cai Zheng, there are probably not many men in the world who would not be tempted by my sister, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lian rolled his eyes at Zheng Qingyun and said angrily: "This is not what you should say."
Zhu Lian did not criticize Zheng Qingyun too harshly, but looked at Chen Yushu.
"During this period, you have been serving the concubine, and you have the most contact with her."
"Although you are from a lower class background, you will inevitably bring along these habits and cunning, but I would like to remind you not to infect these habits to your concubine."
"If the concubine says anything inappropriate again, I will slap your mouth!"
Chen Yushu was startled, lowered her head quickly, and said nervously: "Slave... I remember this, please calm down the princess."
Zheng Qingyun also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"Sister, I will think twice before speaking again and will never make you angry again."
Zhu Lian was speechless, which was a warning to Zheng Qingyun that as a woman in the palace, she should not only pay attention to her manners, but also pay attention to her words and deeds.
Why do all the men in the world fall in love with Zhu Lian?
Is this what a concubine should say?
If it wasn't for Zheng Qingyun's naivety and ignorance, Zhu Lian would have asked Xiaoxia to control Zheng Qingyun's mouth.
Zhao Huan heard all the conversation between Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun, and was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.
This is...the majesty of the princess.
The principal wife is no joke.
Cai Zheng also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. No wonder Zhao Huan regarded Zhu Lian as his heartthrob. With such a prosperous and majestic wife, anyone would hold her in their hands.
Now it is too late for Cai Zheng to regret humiliating Zhu Lian.
But in order to save his life, he could only desperately go back to make up for it.
"I will ask people to return all the charity money to the people, and ask the prince to appease his anger and give the subordinate a chance to become a man again."
Zhao Huan's eyes did not change at all.
Once this tiger is allowed to show its fangs, there is only one result, and that is death!
Moreover, Zhao Huan insisted on killing Cai Zheng, not just for revenge, but for surrender.
He just wanted to let everyone know that Zhao Huan and Cai Jing were incompatible, and one of them had to die in Bianjing.
Not only the Zhu family, but also those official parties who have been waiting and watching will firmly stand and advance and retreat with Zhao Huan.
"Now that the matter has come to this, do you still think you are qualified to bargain?"
"Every village from which you have forcibly expropriated donations will send a representative from each village to the Zhu family compound, under my supervision, to pay back the money on the spot."
After saying that, Zhao Huan ignored Cai Zheng and turned around directly to walk up the steps.
In order to follow Zhao Huan, Zhu Peng put his eyesight to the extreme. As soon as Zhao Huan stood up, he had already stuffed the chair under Zhao Huan's butt.
"Uncle, please sit down!"
Seeing that Zhu Peng was so shameless, Zhu Bocai, who was standing aside, couldn't help but blush.
Why are young people today so shameless?
Zheng Qingyun was also amazed.
She still remembers how arrogant and annoying Zhu Peng was when Zhu Lian came back to recognize her relatives.
As a result, he was trained several times by Zhao Huan and turned into a shameless little follower who was determined to hug Zhao Huan's thigh.
But Chen Zhao and his son, who were standing in the lobby and watching, were a little worried.
Chen Dayou said earnestly: "Zhao'er, you must not be careless, lest someone with ulterior motives take your place away from you."
"The prince can only have one loyal servant by his side, and that is you!"
Chen Zhao stared straight at Zhu Peng, gritting his teeth with hatred.
"Damn it!"
"First it was Wang Daquan, and now Zhu Peng appears. The prince is not a popular person, so why are there so many flies surrounding the prince?"
"People today are so shameless just thinking about climbing the dragon and the phoenix!"
Seeing the indignant expressions of Chen Zhao and his son, the other officials in the lobby looked at each other in confusion.
Why are these father and son scolding themselves in different ways?
On the other side, in order to save Cai Zheng's life, the people sent by the Cai family galloped to each village as fast as possible.
The villagers of Changyan Village stopped even plowing their fields. They all gathered at the entrance of the village, sometimes wailing and sometimes sighing.
"I can't live this life."
"The two taels of silver left at home were both for this year's expenses and for next year's seed money. All of them were confiscated."
"What else are we living for? Waiting to starve to death."
"People are not human beings? Do they deserve to be oppressed like this?"
"What a bullshit Dingwang Temple you built. It's obviously a temple that harms people."
Just when the villagers were desperate, there was a rush of horse hoofbeats coming from the direction of the village entrance. Following the sound, they saw a man in green clothes, dressed like a servant, riding towards the village.
When they were far away, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Where is the village chief?!"
"Hurry and gather at the intersection. There will be a carriage to take you into the city. Don't delay. Set off immediately. If you can't reach the palace within an hour, you will bear the consequences!"
The village chief, who was over fifty years old, was shaking nervously and had no idea what was happening.
"The king...the palace? Why are you going to the palace?"
The servant was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In order to avoid wasting time, he shouted at the top of his voice.
"The prince was furious when he learned about the temple construction. He has already issued a death order. Within today, all the charity money collected by force must be returned to the people."
"If you are delayed, I'm afraid my young master... Anyway, you leave immediately. If my young master is punished by the prince because of the delay in entering the city, all the grudges will be counted on you!"
After the servant finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the next village.
The village chief was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to finally sort out his thoughts. When he turned to look at the villagers, he found that everyone had similar expressions, and there was a hint of surprise in their surprise.
"Did you all hear that?"
"The prince asked me to collect the money..."
A woman was so excited that she burst into tears: "It turns out that the prince didn't know about it at all. It was all the fault of the young master of the Cai family."
"Let me tell you, the prince has always had an excellent reputation. How could he do such things as forcibly collecting donations and building temples? It turns out that someone deliberately framed him."
The village chief couldn't help but burst into tears: "Yes, this prince is extremely cruel to the dignitaries, but he has never made anything difficult for the common people."
"We have misunderstood the prince."
The lady wiped away her tears and quickly urged: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the money."
"The prince will support us in this matter, so there is no need to be afraid!"
The villagers suddenly became energetic and started shouting.
"That's right! Those dog officials want to bully us, so they have to ask the prince first if he agrees."
"Village Chief, when you come back, you must tell me how the prince dealt with that dog official!"
