On the dragon couch, the bookcase was turned upside down, hundreds of memorials fell on the ground in disorder, the inkstone was upside down, and ink was spilled, flowing along the gaps in the floor tiles.
Behind the overturned bookcase was the resentful face of Emperor Wanlong. He glanced around and found the throwing pot and the ruler. He grabbed it and threw it out, making a messy sound.
After the commotion, there was silence in the main hall. The eunuchs and maids shrank their necks, shivering and shivering.
Only Tang Zhao still sat firmly on the couch, maintaining her usual serious expression. She watched the emperor overturn the book case, throw the memorial to the ground, throw the pot, and throw the ruler down one by one, until there was nothing left to throw around, only the A sulking emperor.
At this time, Tang Zhaocai said: "Those palace maids are no longer perfect, and this does not comply with the rules of hiring palace maids. What I do is all for the sake of the royal bloodline. Is it wrong?"
Zhao Tian remained silent.
Tang Zhao added: "I think they suffered misfortune, and they must have been forced to lose their integrity. I am merciful and will not punish them. I will send them to the mansions of the princes and the Duke of the country. When they go there, for women like them, they are... It’s a good place to stay.”
Zhao Tian remained silent.
This time Zhao Tian was really angry. He was full of joy and brought back twenty-three Huaiyang women. They were pleasing to the eye and pleasant to listen to, but by accident, half of them were sent away by Tang Zhao.
Although the remaining half is beautiful, it is not as attractive as before. Each one is like a stuffed gourd, a vase or a decoration, and has lost the pleasant and comfortable feeling.
Emperor Wanlong was also a person with aesthetic pursuits. He looked at people not only for their skin, but also for their demeanor. He liked women who had character and dared to take the initiative to tease the emperor, not those who stood there trembling and stupid.
He likes obedient courtiers, but he doesn't like obedient women. But most of the women around him are obedient. Now the only one who dares to challenge him is Tang Zhao. Of course, there used to be Tang Mei, but since Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao Mei became blurry. Maybe it was because they were too similar, or maybe it was because of something else.
Seeing that the emperor was still holding his breath like an injustice, Tang Zhao stretched out his hand to pull him away: "Are you done yet? As an emperor, how can you look so decadent and give up on yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian's eyes widened and he turned to look at Tang Zhao in disbelief.
The anger and resentment on the emperor's face quietly disappeared, and instead Tang Zhao looked at him angrily.
The emperor felt that his face was damaged, and he was brewing his emotions and was about to explode, but he heard Tang Zhao say again: "Don't you just like beautiful people? I heard that the girl from the Feng family in Daoguangfang has an extraordinary appearance. I plan to announce her to the palace in the near future and examine her for the emperor." Consider it."
The emperor's newly brewed anger disappeared instantly, but for the sake of face, he still kept a cold face.
But he became curious again, so he coughed lightly and said, "Is she Feng Zhanting's sister?"
Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Do you know your Majesty?"
Zhao Tian was secretly happy in his heart, but said without changing his expression: "How do I know her? I've only heard about her a little bit, I've never seen her."
In fact, he has seen it.
Feng Zhanting used to be the captain of the East Palace Cavalry Guard. The prince was very playful, so Feng Zhanting invited the prince to his home as a guest, and asked his half-sister Feng Baochuan to accompany the prince to drink. But Feng Zhanting only asked the prince to look at Baochuan for a few times, which aroused the prince's emotions. He hid his sister again and played hard to get.
The more you don't get this man, the more you feel itchy and the more you cherish him. Feng Zhanting knows this well.
After the prince ascended the throne, Feng Zhanting, as the emperor's confidant, was assigned to Hangu Pass, one of the eight passes, and became a Zhonglang General guarding one side, with 10,000 Xuanjia troops under his command. It was precisely because he had military power and guarded the key points that Tang Zhao considered His sister was recruited into the palace, and this was the right way to choose a concubine.
He was full of resentment just now, but when he heard that Feng Baochuan would be introduced into the palace, the emperor smiled: "Zhao Bao, you have to do things well this time, and you are not allowed to be willful. After all, Feng Zhanting is my confidant, and it is not easy to get a confidant."
Tang Zhaodao: "Your Majesty cares about the country, and I should do the same."
"Hmm, Zhaobao is the best, I'm very relieved."
…
When Tang Kuan left Qinxiang Xiaozhu, Su Ping had not returned yet.
Tang Mei walked around the two bed cabinets and looked at the gift list again.
In fact, Tang Mei had already guessed that the gift list was fake. But she was very curious about what was in the cabinet.
The bed cabinet was locked, and it was said that the key was in Su Ping's hand. She squinted her eyes, kicked the bed cabinet, and heard a rather hollow "bang" sound.
Even Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er heard this sound as empty. They thought the princess would be annoyed by this, but she couldn't help laughing, and later she just laughed out loud. But soon, she kicked the bed cabinet again, Gu Zuo muttered a few words angrily and sat back on the couch.
Princess Loulan was particularly energetic today. She had rested long ago at this time of day, but today she waited until late at night until Su Ping came back. When she saw Su Ping, she stood by the window and said a few words as if looking for trouble. Then he summoned Su Ping upstairs.
"I ask you to propose marriage for the second time within half a month." She said with a straight face.
Su Ping rolled his eyelids, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
Su Ping was thinking that he couldn't afford to refuse the princess, nor could he enjoy the princess.
What would it be like to live with this proud princess for a lifetime?
She is controlling, domineering, and an iron-clad woman. She is okay as a friend, but as a daughter-in-law, it is too heavy and difficult to handle.
Of course, the above is Su Ping's view, and his view is never absolutely correct. He himself also thinks that he is not absolutely correct, but that's what he thinks.
Perhaps he made an empiricist error.
"But I have no money."
"Didn't I just return the gold knife and silver to you?"
"I've already spent it."
"Spent?" Tang Mei turned around: "What did you buy?"
"Buying a house."
Tang Mei's eyes lit up: "Do you have the property deed?"
"Of course." Su Ping smiled.
Tang Mei stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it to me."
Su Ping had an ominous premonition, because last time, she took a look at the orb, and then it became hers. As she usually said, her son-in-law has no private property, and what he owns is also hers. So, the property deed If it falls into her hands, what will happen?
Su Ping put his hand into his arms, trying to take it, but failed to do so: "Let me declare in advance that I can see it, but I can't occupy it."
After being exposed, Tang Mei gritted her teeth, squinted and said, "Using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."
Su Ping took out the real estate deed, waved it in front of Tang Mei's eyes, and then put it back in his pocket.
Tang Mei was brewing some anger and said angrily: "I just said take a look, who said I want your house? I bought a house worth a few hundred taels, even if it was given to me for free, I would still take it."
Su Ping snorted softly.
She was annoyed and said loudly: "Bring the real estate deed as a betrothal gift! Stop fooling me with empty boxes!"
Su Ping stood up and said, "What a big joke. Your family took all the 800,000 taels from my Su family, and you said I gave you an empty box as a betrothal gift? Why didn't you say that I gave you two more bed chests?"
?”
Tang Mei stood up, pinched her waist and said, "Will you give it to me or not?"
Su Ping raised his head and said, "No!"
Tang Mei suddenly rushed forward and reached for Su Ping's pocket. Su Ping dodged, but Tang Mei refused. Su Ping broke free and rushed out the door. Tang Mei chased him out, shouting: "Stop!" Su Ping
He refused to listen to her and ran to Snail House. Tang Mei chased her there and blocked the door: "If you don't bring it to me, I won't let you sleep!"
Su Ping was disdainful. He took off his cloak first, then his coat, and then prepared to take off his trousers. He stared at Tang Mei and said, "Do you want to see it?"
Tang Mei stared: "If you dare to be rude, I will give you a stick!"
There was a scream from the backyard.
I don’t know what the princess saw, but she ran away with a blushing face.
Back at Qinxiang Xiaozhu, the princess was very angry. Zhen Ping'er asked her what happened, but she didn't tell her. She seemed to have lost her soul and sat there, thinking about it.
Su Ping had read "League of Peace" and vaguely remembered that it said "Three clans are not allowed to buy real estate in Luoyang City". Specifically, if each of the three families already owns one farm, they cannot buy properties in other farms.
.
This regulation is necessary because of the special circumstances of the three companies. If they join forces and purchase uncontrollably, the entire city of Luoyang will easily be bought by them.
In order to prevent the Sanmen family from cheating and buying real estate under other people's names, the royal family has also taken some practical and effective measures. Once it is discovered that someone in the Sanmen family has purchased a property in another area, it will be immediately confiscated and fined.
Therefore, Su Ping believes that the house she bought will not be snatched away by Tang Mei. At most, she will withhold the title of the house instead of actually taking it as her own. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, the house will be in vain. The Tang family
He will also be held accountable by the court.
Su Ping fell down on the small wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He didn't really let Tang Mei see anything scary just now, he just pretended to scare Tang Mei away.
But scaring her away would not fundamentally solve the problem, so Su Ping planned to have a frank talk with Tang Mei tomorrow morning.
"Boom!"
Just when Su Ping was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of a wooden stick hitting the door.
Let's just say that Tang Mei was extremely excited tonight. Not long after being scared away, she came back with a stick, pointed at the door and said: "Su Baoyu! You have committed a heinous crime by blaspheming this princess. Come open the door quickly and see what I want to punish you."
you!"
Su Ping didn't open the door, but pushed the window open a crack: "Your Excellency, please stop making trouble, okay? Let's talk about something serious."
"What's up?"
"Even if I buy real estate outside, it seems to be quite risky. I am considering asking my brother to come to Luoyang. In addition, doesn't the princess plan to invest? If you invest and I will run it, you will definitely make a lot of money."
