"Oh, what a loser! I didn't drink many glasses of wine, but I drank a lot of yellow wine." Jiang Zhichang muttered incoherently, staggered to the inner room, and threw himself on the bed.
After a while, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a palace maid with a slender waist walked in carrying a tray.
She raised her eyes and took a closer look at the clothes on the hanger. She reached out and touched the robe. The corners of her mouth curved up as she said sweetly, "My dear, I am here to help you change clothes."
Before he finished speaking, he walked straight towards the bed in the inner room.
"My dear, let me help you change your clothes." Then a pair of jade hands touched Jiang Zhichang's belt.
Jiang Zhichang was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, but when he heard the chirping of birds, he immediately sobered up.
He has always loved beautiful women. Whenever he sees a beautiful woman or hears a beautiful woman's voice, he will react like a conditioned reflex.
Unexpectedly, before he opened his eyes, he felt a pair of soft hands touching his body. He instantly shivered as if an electric shock had passed through his whole body.
Jiang Zhichang turned around, opened his eyes, and exclaimed happily, "Oh, Lanxiang, it turns out to be you, my little beauty! I've missed you so much!"
He stretched out his arms and hugged Lanxiang, then turned around and pressed Lanxiang down on the bed.
Lanxiang struggled hard, but her slender body and weak strength made it impossible for her to defeat the big and strong Jiang Zhichang.
"Ah... young master, why is it you!" Lanxiang said in a trembling voice.
"Why, who else could it be if not me? Who are you hoping will be lying on this bed?!" Jiang Zhichang smiled teasingly.
"I couldn't find you since last time. I asked my aunt but she didn't tell me. I didn't expect you to come to Zhonghe Hall." Jiang Zhichang said this while his hands were not idle, tearing Lanxiang's belt randomly.
"Let me go, let me go quickly, no..." Lanxiang shouted in despair, but a big hand covered her mouth.
In the main hall of Shanglin Garden, Xia Miaoyuan lay in the queen's arms with a bitter face, listening to the two old ladies chatting about trivial things.
Her big, dark eyes rolled towards the gate.
[How strange! Does it take so long to change clothes?]
[Er Guo Guo, please come back soon. Come back and hold me and play with me for a while. I'm so bored.]
Xia Miaoyuan counted his fingers, feeling extremely annoyed.
Suddenly, a young eunuch with a panicked look came up to Concubine Jiang, bowed and whispered something to her.
"Ah? What? There is such a dirty thing happening in Zhonghe Palace!" Concubine Jiang said in shock.
After saying this, Concubine Jiang seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at everyone awkwardly, and then lowered her head.
[Oh my god, Concubine, you must have graduated from a film academy, you really can act. You're just acting it out for everyone to see. It's better to let everyone know. You can also act out your gaffes, you really can.]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at Concubine Jiang.
Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager, the Concubine Dowager, Xia Zhengqi, and the Queen all fell silent and looked at Concubine Jiang in unison.
"Qi Qiu, what just happened?" asked the Empress Dowager in a deep voice.
"It's nothing, nothing, it's not a big deal." Concubine Jiang looked flustered and shook her hands.
"You slave, you passed secret messages to the imperial concubine in front of me. You really don't take me seriously!" Xia Zhengqi looked at the little eunuch angrily.
"I dare not, I dare not! This matter is really special..." The young eunuch knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a trembling voice.
"Speak, repeat word for word what you just whispered to the imperial concubine, otherwise I will drag you out and beat you to death immediately." Xia Zhengqi frowned.
The Empress Dowager, the Queen and others were all shocked, thinking, "The Emperor has always been kind to others, when did he become so cruel?"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will tell you everything. Just now, the Second Prince went to Zhonghe Hall to change clothes and has not come out for a long time. The eunuchs in Zhonghe Hall wanted to go and ask him, but they heard that sound coming from the room..." The little eunuch lowered his head.
"That sound? What is that sound?" Xia Zhengqi wondered.
"It's the kind of sound that men and women make together, which cannot... be heard by others." The young eunuch stammered.
Xia Zhengqi: ...
"The second prince is only 16 years old, how could he do such a thing?" the Queen Mother said in surprise.
How could I, Erguoguo, be that kind of person? Could it be that the treacherous concubine is causing trouble again?
Xia Miaoyuan pursed her lips.
"I have always taught my concubines and the younger generations that propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are the most important. In life, we face many temptations, so we must keep ourselves clean." The Empress Dowager said solemnly.
"How could we, the descendants of the Xia family, do such a vile thing!" The Empress Dowager knocked the floor hard with her cane, a look of deep sorrow on her face.
[What! Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and self-discipline? How dare you, old woman, use this to teach your children? Hahaha, when you were 16, you even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter!]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the Empress Dowager with disdain.
What? Illegitimate daughter!
The Empress Dowager has an illegitimate daughter?
Both Xia Zhengqi and the Queen were shocked, but when they thought about the fact that the current issue had not been resolved, they immediately calmed down.
"Mother, I raised Chengnian by myself. I know his character very well. If you say that he was impulsive and fought with others, I believe it. But he would never do such an immoral thing after drinking." The queen said calmly.
"The eunuch heard it with his own ears, how could it be false? Besides, he is a young man with a hot temper. It is possible that he cannot control himself when he sees a beautiful girl." Concubine Jiang glanced at the queen in a sarcastic tone.
"As the old saying goes, if you catch an adulterer, catch both of them; if you catch a thief, catch the stolen goods. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. I hope Your Majesty will investigate it clearly and restore my reputation." The Queen spoke to Xia Zhengqi word by word with determination.
"Okay, let's go to Zhonghe Hall now." After hearing the queen's words and thinking of Xia Chengnian's usual character, Xia Zhengqi's uneasy heart instantly calmed down.
"Debao, take your men and run over there to guard the gates of Zhonghe Hall. Don't let anyone out!" Xia Zhengqi ordered sternly.
The Empress Dowager, the Old Concubine Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Jiang all walked towards the Zhonghe Hall, followed by a large crowd of eunuchs and palace maids.
Xia Miaoyuan, held by the nanny, also followed behind.
"What's going on?"
"Why are they all gone?"
Seeing this, the guests immediately began to whisper.
"I heard that the Second Prince gave the palace maid to..."
"The Emperor and his men are going to the Zhonghe Hall to catch the adulterer!"
A few guests with sharp ears spoke mysteriously to the people around them based on the fragments they heard.
People have always liked gossip and watching the fun. That's human nature.
When the guests heard that it was the second prince's romantic affair, they immediately became excited and followed behind, wanting to see it with their own eyes.
