Chapter 18: Look Beautiful When You Go Out
Xiaozhi looked at her helplessly, "Princess, you didn't forget that you need to go back to your parents' home three days after your wedding, right?"
Well, it's normal for her, a modern person, not to know about this kind of thing!
Besides, she has already taken off her clothes and gone to bed, and even the golden figure to sleep with her is ready.
"Well, is it okay if I don't reply?"
"Of course not," Xiaozhi puffed up her cheeks seriously, "Not to mention the etiquette of Dazhao, if the princess doesn't return home after the wedding, people will laugh at her. Even the master and mistress of the Xiao Mansion have been looking forward to your return for a long time!"
"Then it seems I have to go." Xiao Tu weakly got up from the bed.
Xiaozhi laughed and said, "Actually, Princess, don't worry about the trouble. I heard from the people below that the prince has returned home today. You just need to go to Jingdeyuan and tell the prince in person later."
Xiaotu raised an eyebrow, "He's back?"
"Yes, I came back this afternoon when you were sleeping."
"Okay then," Xiao Tu sat in front of the mirror, "help me with my makeup."
Xiaozhi opened her mouth, "Princess, do you still want to put on makeup?"
"Of course. You can treat this woman as you like when she's not at home, but once she goes out, she has to look beautiful!"
"But today we're at home, so we can keep it simple. Help me choose this, this, and this..."
Xiaozhi, who was too lazy to get out of bed just now, now looks energetic and goes to choose jewelry. I can only sigh that women are really fickle!
Jingdeyuan.
The lights are bright and the guards are dense.
Xiaozhi, holding a lantern, looked at the unfamiliar guard and said, "Go and tell the prince that the princess has arrived."
The guard glanced behind her upon hearing this.
Xiao Tu also looked up at the other person at this moment.
I could clearly see the 100+ sign on the other person's head, warning her of alertness.
She didn't care much about these guards who treated her equally well whether in Jinque Tower or at home.
The guard now spoke, "Please wait."
The guard leader walked into the low-key and elegant study and said, "Your Majesty, I've received a report that the princess wishes to see you."
Jade King's face was expressionless when he heard this. "Just say I'm not here."
The guard commander hesitated, "Princess Xiao wanted to come this afternoon, and now she's here again. I'm afraid she knows you're here, Your Highness."
Prince Jade adjusted his outer garment at this moment and said, "I am about to go to the Golden Palace Tower. Just report back like this."
"yes."
In front of Jingdeyuan.
Xiao Tu was speechless when he heard the guard's report, "He went to Jinque Tower again?"
What's so good about that place? He goes there every day, but he doesn't go there for prostitution, and he makes her have to go there again and again.
"Could it be..." Xiao Tu's thoughts gradually became evil, "It would be more exciting outside? Come to think of it, the first two times, it was indeed..."
Thinking of the man's passionate look, Xiao Tu couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
Xiaozhi looked at the side in surprise, "Princess, what are you thinking about?"
"Ahem, nothing..." Xiao Tu put his hands behind his back seriously, "Since the prince is not here, let's just do as usual."
Xiaozhi nodded, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, returning home tomorrow is a big deal." Then she looked at Xiaotu, "Princess, you angered the old princess today. She will definitely not be nice to us tomorrow. So tomorrow, you'll have to rely on the prince to back you up!"
"Okay, I got it. Leave it to me and I'll make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow."
Jokhang Palace.
The exquisite glazed lamps illuminate the solemn hall, making every detail clear.
On a large purple-gold chair inlaid with majestic animal patterns sat a lazy, wanton, yet dangerous man. He was dressed in a dark red embroidered official robe with a pattern of the ferocious beast Qiongqi embroidered on it. His jet-black, gorgeous hair was tied up in a hat, and his evil face was buried in the shadows under the lamplight.
Behind him was a maid holding high a gorgeous peacock feather fan, and on his side were a row of Embroidered Guards with cold knives hanging from their waists, their faces cold and murderous. Below his feet were several officials, their faces pale with fear and trembling all over.
The man flipped through the memorials from the officials on the table with one hand, and fiddled with the vermilion jade pen carved with dragon patterns with the other. As a mere court official and eunuch, he exercised the greatest power in the world.
Suddenly, the man saw what was written on the memorial, and a low sneer escaped from his cold, scarlet, sexy lips.
The people kneeling in the room shuddered at the same time when they heard the sound.
Their faces were almost pale as they stared with wide eyes at the man in the high position.
Then he saw the hand that could easily decide life or death raised, a bright red X fell on the folding paper, and then the man threw it away casually.
The person who was thrown the letter was struck by lightning. He opened the letter quickly with trembling hands and feet.
After reading only a few sentences, his whole body began to shake like a dustpan, and then he banged his head on the ground.
"Lord Governor, please spare me, Lord Governor, please spare me. One out of ten grain and salary that is handled is taken from us. This is the unspoken rule in the officialdom. It's not just in Yuezhou, other cities and states do this too. Others also..."
Ning Cuo slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of enchantment that captivated everyone. His bright red lips curled up lazily, "You used the word 'we' very well!"
The official's face changed drastically upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly widening. But before he could say anything else, the strange and charming man chuckled and said, "Take Lord Wang away. We must treat him well and ask him to tell us who we are."
So Lord Wang didn't even have the chance to speak again. The Rusty-clad Guard with a cold and creepy look stepped forward, blocked his mouth, and dragged him out.
The remaining officials were so frightened when they saw this that they almost died.
Because they all knew that Lord Wang was going to be taken to the East Factory Prison for imprisonment.
It is said that it is a place more terrifying than the Nine Nether Hell. It is rumored that for anyone who enters there, even death will become a luxury.
I'm afraid I'll never see this colleague again.
And as tonight passes, many people from this group will not be seen again tomorrow.
But none of the ministers in the room dared to say anything, let alone plead for mercy.
Ning Cuo flipped through the book casually again and threw it away without much interest.
Xiao Lezi hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong, sir? Are you tired?"
Ning Cuo glanced at the sky and asked, "What time is it?"
Xiao Lezi was confused and said, "It's just getting dark."
"It's getting dark," Ning Cuo stood up, then put one hand behind his back and stepped down from the high seat.
Seeing a question mark, Xiao Lezi quickly chased after him, "Master, where are you going? There are still so many memorials that you haven't reviewed yet."
Ning Cuo said without even turning his head, "It's getting dark, my little rabbit should come find me."
Xiao Lezi was stunned. Little rabbit? Little rabbit, Xiao rabbit?
Finally reacting, he quickly caught up and asked, "Master, are you going to see Madam Xiao?"
Ning Cuo lazily put his hands behind his back and asked, "How is it?"
Xiao Lezi quickly said, "It's not just that there are so many memorials, there are also a lot of military and national affairs in the room waiting for your decision!"
