It was another reward given to her.
First the emperor, then the imperial concubine, and finally the empress dowager.
The eunuchs delivered the gifts, took the reward, and left without telling her to go and receive it herself.
Xiao Zhixing sat amidst the pile of gifts, pondering the meaning behind the three giants' words.
Is this an attempt to debunk the rumor?
Look, even the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Imperial Concubine have come to offer rewards and comfort, which means they don't care about the rumors or that the rumors are false. Xiao Zhixing's response was excellent.
Speaking of Consort Zhang...
She is Xiao Yan's cousin.
According to the small system records, back then, Consort Zhang climbed into the bed of her cousin-in-law Zhao Yunqi, which led to Xiao Yan and Zhao Yunqi turning against each other.
Ordinary people don't know.
But the shrewd people in Shengjing knew that Consort Zhang had become a Consort, while Xiao Yan was "dead," making them enemies.
Consort Zhang also gave birth to Zhao Yunqi's only son, the eldest prince Zhao Lin.
The eldest prince is about the same age as her, but he is of mediocre talent and has not yet entered the court to govern.
Consort Zhang also came to bestow rewards; it seems ironic no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Zhixing suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan's appearance in his memory was about 80% similar to his own.
hiss.
She's going to a hunting party soon. Should she keep her bangs to cover her face or not?
It's not surprising that young people haven't seen Xiao Yan before, but the powerful and influential elders in Shengjing have. Her appearance...
Xiao Zhixing grinned wickedly.
Not long after the gifts were received, just as the morning court session ended, new gossip began to circulate outside.
"Everyone's saying that Young Master Li is deeply in love with Miss Qi, and that he's even willing to offend you, Princess, for her sake. They say he's a passionate young man who would risk everything for a beautiful woman..."
Xuemei pouted, "This servant doesn't believe it, but saying that he favors his concubine over his wife is quite accurate."
Xiao Zhixing smiled.
Li Jun probably doesn't want this kind of reputation.
She hasn't even made a move yet, and someone has already come to her aid. It doesn't matter who it is; she's definitely Li Jun's opponent.
Not long after, Mo Mei reported again:
"During the morning court session, several officials from the Censorate impeached the Fourth Master of the Li family for oppressing the people and disregarding human life. His Majesty has ordered the Court of Judicial Review to take over the trial."
Xiao Zhixing was in a better mood. "Did someone tell Master Li that I was the one pulling the strings from behind?"
Mo Mei nodded, without questioning her.
I just don't understand why my master would reveal that I'm going out. Shouldn't such things be done secretly?
Xiao Zhixing smiled, wanting to let Master Li know that he had suffered an undeserved calamity.
For someone like Master Li, who has a high opinion of himself and is hostile towards Li Jun.
He wouldn't reflect on his own crime being implicated by Li Jun, nor would he hate Xiao Zhixing.
He would only hate Li Jun for causing trouble, and he would seize on this to create a huge uproar.
Sure enough, things quickly got lively on Li Jun's camera.
Duke Li was sitting on it and kept rubbing his head from the noise.
Master Li, kneeling below, pointed at Li Jun and cursed, "You're just being smug, yet you offended a princess for the sake of a concubine, blatantly slapping her in the face?"
"Fine, now she's gotten her revenge, hasn't she? How innocent am I? I suffered because of you, and instead of blaming him, you blame me? Where is justice?"
Li Jun frowned. "Fourth Uncle, if you were so prudent and infallible, how could you have ended up in this situation? Even without her, someone else would have seized on this weakness to attack our family."
"Oh dear, I'm bad, I'm a bad apple!"
"I admit I'm a bad person, but I love my wife and daughters and I didn't favor a concubine over my wife!"
"I've done all these things, and I'm still starving to death! Living in this Duke's mansion, if I can't even support my whole family, I'm a joke!"
"Oh dear, oh dear, Dad, look at your son! He's going to be bullied to death by your grandson!" Fourth Master Li shamelessly acted like a rascal.
The lively scene made the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
Although I also like Li, he was wrong, and he deserved it for offending my princess!
[Princess, that's a clever move! You all annoy me, but I won't kill you. I'll just make sure you get your revenge in a clear way, and the Duke of Li's mansion can't retaliate. How frustrating, how frustrating, hahaha—]
[Uncle Li is quite a man. He simply loves his wife and daughters and doesn't favor his concubines over his wife. Where did he go wrong?]
Young Master Li, you're not suited for this kind of thing. Your world is in *******.
[Sigh, too inexperienced. Young Master Li is still a bit too green.]
Bai Su watched with great interest:
"You guys said that unofficial historical records indicate that Li Jun is the princess's love interest, but I don't see that in my records?"
"Given how Li Jun handled this matter, I have no chance of ever being interested in him! However, the princess is, after all, a noble lady from ancient times. If something happens later, who knows, she might actually change her mind about him?"
【No, no, that's fake. Our princess is *****, Su Su, you just be a tool and stop fantasizing. It's absolutely impossible!】
[Stop it! The princess is exceptionally beautiful! No one in the world is worthy of her!!]
Xiao Zhixing watched with great delight.
She strongly agrees with the audience's opinion and feels that no one is good enough for her.
So she didn't go out that day.
He locked himself in his study, instructing no one to disturb him, and continued to peruse the notes, ancient books, and coded texts in his mind.
Of course, on the surface she was drawing, but she was still drawing Xiao Yan. The live stream room quieted down, with only occasional compliments.
She glanced at Li Jun, who was also reading and studying.
Baisu held a poll, and currently only six live stream cameras can be turned on.
Bai Su herself, Xiao Zhixing, and Li Jun now occupy three spots, leaving three more.
She let the audience vote on who to make the target.
After a night, Huo Baijun was the most popular choice, followed by Lin Rushu, and finally the handsome young man Ji Bai.
