Upon hearing this, Minister Jiang calmly stopped the attack and said with a smile, "Princess Hui, what is your relationship with the Regent?"
"I..." Fu Tong'er thought to herself that she had only met the regent known as "Jiu Ye" twice, so what kind of relationship could there be? Even though he had repeatedly asked to help her and even proposed that "condition", but - they were not familiar with each other.
If she said this out loud, and that gentleman showed up later, and she couldn't handle it, wouldn't that cause trouble? She couldn't rely on that jerk, King Hui, and this wasn't her home country. Back home, no matter how big the problem, a word from her father would resolve it. But in this foreign land, where she was completely unfamiliar with the place, who could help her?
So he said: "My lord, you see, the seat where I sit is empty, but it is next to the Regent. Although he has not arrived yet, think about it, if there is no relationship, would I dare to sit here?"
Minister Jiang chuckled, turned his head to look at the frozen lake, then turned back, leaned back, and said with a smile: "So, I ask the princess, what is your relationship?"
This is obviously malicious!
At this time, footsteps were heard in the lobby on the first floor.
The two guards on the second floor made way and said respectfully, "Long live the Regent!"
The steps creaked...
Lu Zhenzhi walked up with a cold face, followed by two rows of soldiers, and Xiao Pu followed beside him.
Minister Jiang quickly stood up, came over, bowed deeply, and said, "Long live the Regent!"
Lu Zhenzhi's soldiers surrounded the entire second floor. The guards, maids, and servants who had come with Minister Jiang all prostrated themselves in obeisance.
"Long live the Regent!"
The sound was deafening.
Lu Zhenzhi glanced at Fu Tong'er who was being escorted by two guards, then glanced at Qiao'er who was about to be slapped, and walked silently to the seat of honor and sat down.
All those who kneel and bow must be exempted from this courtesy!
Minister Jiang was obese and he felt he couldn't bear it after bending over for a while, but he didn't dare to stand up.
After a long while, a steady voice was heard: "Girl, come to me. Your knee is injured and you don't know how to take care of yourself. Ask your maid to come here too."
…
When Minister Jiang heard this, his knees suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud!
Fu Tong'er took back the whip and returned to her previous seat, sitting next to Lu Zhenzhi. Qiao'er also broke free from Minister Jiang's attendant and walked over to Lu Zhenzhi, bowing.
At this time, everyone heard one sentence: "Everyone get up."
Minister Jiang was still kneeling on the ground, unable to get up, his whole body shaking.
Lu Zhenzhi sneered, "Why doesn't Minister Jiang get up?"
Minister Jiang's face turned pale with fear, and he said softly: "Your subordinate...your subordinate..."
"Why, Minister Jiang is unwilling to obey my orders?"
"I dare not, I dare not. I will stand up right away... I will stand up right away. Thank you, Master Jiu." Minister Jiang hurriedly waved his hands to let two maids help him stand up and went to his own seat.
Just about to sit down...
Lu Zhenzhi raised his eyes and stared at Minister Jiang. This stare was fixed on Minister Jiang, whose butt was almost touching the chair.
Minister Jiang did not dare to sit down, and only said: "Master Jiu, your humble servant, I will punish myself by drinking three cups..."
Then, the maids brought the dishes, six side dishes surrounding a main dish.
Lu Zhenzhi sat solemnly, and at first glance he looked like a heroic commander who had fought in wars for many years.
He was already tall, at least eight feet tall, and now sitting next to Fu Tong'er, he looked even more like a mountain.
Minister Jiang drank three cups as punishment, then turned the bottom of the cup towards him and said, "It's empty. Master Jiu, please do as you please."
Lu Zhenzhi then said calmly, "Please sit down. It's not good to stand all the time. You and I serve in the same court, so there's no need to be so formal." Minister Jiang felt annoyed—was he the only one being so formal?! Didn't you, the Ninth Master, forbid us from sitting down? But he could only keep this to himself.
So he replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, I was just too nervous." Then he was about to sit down.
Just next to the stool——
Lu Zhenzhi said coldly, "Too nervous? Minister Jiang thinks I'm not easygoing?"
