Dongwu, Kyoto City.
The afternoon sun is shining brightly and the streets are bustling with people. It is the perfect weather to drink tea, play cards and chat about gossip under a tree.
"Have you heard that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the eldest princess have that kind of relationship?" The person who spoke bent his thumbs together, his expression ambiguous.
"Really?" The audience's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. I saw them hugging each other. They were so close."
"No wonder Miss Jiang is already 20, and the eldest princess is 21, but they haven't gotten married yet. So this is the reason."
"Does the palace know about this? What does the emperor say?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard that His Majesty had a huge temper tantrum and the eldest princess was even grounded."
"Ms. Jiang seems to have been grounded as well. She hasn't been to Handan Academy during this period."
"They are destined to be together. Why is the Emperor so angry?"
"How can two women be together? This is immoral. Of course the emperor will be angry. If it were my daughter, I would break her legs..."
Having said this, the person who spoke realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Turning around, I saw that the person asking the question was a little girl of four or five years old. She was holding a roasted pig's trotter, her mouth full of oil.
Hiss... looks familiar?
At this time, a white, slender hand with distinct joints held a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's face.
He looked up following his finger.
Two young men stood behind the little girl.
One of them has a beautiful face, gentle and docile, standing like a delicate orchid, and smiling like the bright moon in your arms.
A man with stern eyes and eyebrows, but with a gentle smile, and a noble demeanor, no less than a noble young man in Yunjian.
"This, this, this... is so kind to my eyes."
Everyone at the card table stared at the two young masters, drooling.
"This young man looks so familiar..."
"Aren't these the top two scholars?"
Someone shouted in surprise, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the street.
"Bang..." The fried rice spatula fell.
"Plop..." The pancakes I just bought fell down.
"Bang..." The newly built frame fell apart.
The teacup fell off the table, the horse fell to the ground, and the bench fell to the ground.
"Ah...it's the little princess. The little princess who went to be a fairy is back..."
"Great! The little princess has returned as a fairy. We are saved..."
The uproar was deafening, the news spread like wildfire, and the entire capital was in an uproar.
Rong Chaoxi: “???”
Rong Chaoxi was still confused about the previous topic.
"Why did you break Sister Jiang's legs? They are a man and a woman."
…
Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Asshole!"
A jade teacup shattered into pieces on the hard stone floor.
The silver-white fragment drew a small arc, leaving a trace of red on the back of a hand with bones and muscles as distinct as glass, and then quietly fell back to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this was all my idea..."
"At that time, Concubine Lan was very powerful, and two princes died young in the Eastern Palace. I was afraid..."
Concubine Qi knelt beside the furious emperor, grabbed the hem of his robe, and pleaded:
"It really has nothing to do with Shang'er. If you want to punish me, then punish me. Shang'er is innocent."
"You really deserve to be punished!" The emperor became even angrier after hearing this. He pulled back his robe with force, and Concubine Qi fell to the ground.
"He's a man, yet you made him live as a woman for over twenty years, hiding it from me for over twenty years..."
He pointed at Han Shang with a trembling finger.
"Concubine Qi, you are so brave!"
He stared at the two people on the ground with angry eyes, as if they were about to spit fire.
"Father, the concealment that followed was my son's idea and has nothing to do with Mother. Please punish me."
Han Shang kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Two years ago, after Rong Xuqing and Jiang Xinran opened a girls' school in Beijing, Han Shang, the idle princess, often went there to serve as a teacher.
As time went by, their relationship grew deeper.
For some reason, rumors have been spreading on the streets these days, saying that the girls in the girls' school are having improper relationships in private.
Since he and Jiang Xinran were over 20 years old and had not yet married, they naturally became the center of the rumor.
The emperor had witnessed the intimacy between Jiang Xinran and Han Shang several times.
He was used to seeing Concubine Ning Jia kissing and hugging the Queen, so he didn't think there was anything unusual between the two of them.
After the news spread among the people, in order to stop the gossips, he prepared to choose husbands for the two.
However, Han Shang refused to comply and refused to give any reason when asked. He just said that he did not want to get married in this life.
After hearing this, the emperor slammed the table and stood up.
Since they are so reluctant to get married, their relationship must be as rumored.
In order to prevent other people's girls from being harmed, the emperor immediately ordered Han Shang to be confined to his home.
Later, Jiang Xinran was summoned to the palace to ask about this matter, and she actually said:
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, I will not conceal anything..."
"Your Highness, I am pleased with you and would like to accompany you as your attendant."
The emperor immediately covered his chest.
It wasn't his daughter who led the cabbage astray, but the cabbage that led his daughter astray!
After sending Jiang Xinran back, he called Minister Jiang into the palace and gave him a severe scolding.
Minister Jiang’s brain exploded at that time!
What a sin!
His daughter wanted to marry the princess and begged her father to agree!
As soon as I got home, I locked Jiang Xinran's yard.
He immediately went to find doctors all over the city and forced her to take medicine every day.
In order to sever the abnormal relationship between the two, the emperor decided to marry them separately.
Today's imperial edict has been drafted. Han Shang and Concubine Qi rushed over after hearing the news and revealed this secret that has been hidden for twenty-one years.
"Okay, you all want to be punished, right?"
The emperor was furious. Recently, the northern barbarians invaded the border, a city was lost at the border, and Rong Baichuan was assassinated again.
Everything is not going well, my daughter... Ugh, my son did this again,
"Someone, come and drag them away and beat them up..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." A young eunuch rushed into the hall without regard for the rules.
He tripped over the threshold in a hurry and fell to his knees. Before the emperor could rebuke him, he shouted:
"The little princess is back, Princess Chaoyang is back!"
"..." The emperor was stunned for a moment, then asked loudly: "Is Chaoxi back?"
"Yes, it's spread all over the city. The little princess was found eating pig's trotters in Pingle Lane, and the news has now been reported to the general..."
Before he could finish, the emperor had already walked to the door and said, "Prepare the carriage. I want to go to the general's mansion..."
