Chapter 390: Meet Each One I Love

Bei Jingchu retracted her hand and looked away, not knowing what to do.

Beyond the standard. Beyond the standard.

She had already read the question and replied: "If you want to go, go ahead. In the past, when women were selected as concubines, they did not hold official positions, but were wives of officials. Then the concubines were brought to live in the palace."

"Nowadays, many gentlemen have official duties and it is inconvenient for them to live in the East Palace for a long time."

"Even if you participate in the talent show, it won't hinder your work."

But the squatting person seemed inferior, but he kept pressing forward, not afraid that the other person would get angry and chase him out directly.

He answered obediently: "I want to know what my chances of winning are."

"After all, the only judge of this event is you..."

He complained: "After all, you love every man you see. If you see a dazzling array of gentlemen, I may not be interested in them."

Bei Jingchu spoke faster than she thought: "No, you are the one I love most among all the ones I meet."

Long Shou:......

The ambiguous atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

......

Bei Jingchu met Jiang Longshou again outside of official duties, not because of the beauty pageant, but because he injured one of Cao's men.

He was detained and wanted to seek justice from the Eastern Palace.

Bei Jingchu immediately thought that this was fake news.

That boy is not an impulsive person, there must be something hidden behind it.

The person who was beaten was the eldest son of Cao Nong, a minister of the imperial court. As the party at fault, Bei Jingchu was invited to Cao's house.

It feels weird, a bit like kids calling their parents after a fight.

Bei Jingchu shook off the strange thoughts and helped Minister Cao who was performing the ceremony to stand up.

"Stand up, no need to be polite."

When the boy who was left behind saw her coming, he stood next to her very consciously like a big dog that had found its owner.

Bei Jingchu laughed: "Standing here will block the sunlight. Go find a place to sit."

Jiang Longshou was a little worried. Although he was not acting rashly, he felt that Bei Jingchu would have the tacit understanding to seize the opportunity he gave.

But I still feel a little uneasy.

Seeing her warm attitude, I felt relieved.

Minister Cao looked unhappy, but he said nothing and motioned his son to explain the situation.

Cao Dalang, who was beaten black and blue, began to complain: "Your Highness, your commander Jiang has sent a visiting card to the Cao family. We are ready to welcome him and treat him well."

Cao Dalang snorted coldly, pointed at Jiang Longshou and said, "In the end, Commander Jiang hit me directly in the face!"

"There is no grudge between us, but he rushed over and beat me up. Your Highness, do you think the officials of the Eastern Palace are so lawless?"

Although Bei Jingchu didn't know what happened, she couldn't lose the momentum.

She asked leisurely, "Qiang Qing and the Cao family have never had any contact. Why did you let him in?"

Cao Dalang was stunned, not knowing how to explain it.

Bei Jingchu didn't even need to point out their intentions, as she knew at once that they were trying to recruit officials from the Eastern Palace to be spies.

Cao Dalang explained dryly: "Because the Cao family is hospitable, they welcome guests and treat them with courtesy."

"Anyway, this is the man who came into my house and beat me up."

He said solemnly: "Today, I only hope that Your Highness will give me an explanation."

"Otherwise, I would not have advised against interceding for the impeachment of the emperor."

Bei Jingchu had to hold back her laughter when she heard these serious words, coupled with those symmetrical purple panda eyes and cheeks that were swollen as if they had been stung by a bee.

She suppressed her laughter and said, "Long Shou, tell me, why did you hit him?"

Jiang Longshou looked like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded. He kept his head down and only the hair crown was facing her.

Now when she called him, he raised his head and cleared his throat.

It looks like it's time to start exerting force.

Bei Jingchu immediately determined that there was something wrong.

Jiang Longshou stared at Cao Dalang and said meaningfully, "There is a young lady in the Cao family who is quite interested in medicine. This young lady is the daughter of Cao Dalang."

"The Cao family is a prominent family, so naturally their daughter would be taught by a famous teacher. The best doctor would have to be the imperial physician."

At this point, Cao Dalang suddenly shouted, "That's enough!"

"I'm talking about why Commander Jiang used force against me. Why are you bringing up my daughter's affairs?"

"Your Highness, Jiang Longshou is clearly distracted and talking about other things. Please enforce the law impartially and do not shield him just because he is your man!"

Bei Jingchu smiled and argued with Cao Nong: "Minister Cao, your son's attitude is too overbearing."

"Even if the case is being tried by the Dali Temple, there should be room for the defendant to defend himself, right?"

"You are so rude in front of me. The family tradition of the Cao family, a family of noble birth, does not seem to be strict."
