Chapter 276: The Cuckolding Minister

Rong Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi came to the palace to look for Princess Yongqing again. The Empress Li Xian, who had received generous gifts from the Luo and Li families, was still easy to talk to and opened the door for them.

The Queen of Song hid in the small Buddhist temple to chant sutras and did not come out to meet them. The palace maid Wanting welcomed them into the small courtyard of Princess Yongqing at the back.

Princess Yongqing was also very happy that the two friends came to visit her. She took out various delicious snacks sent by the emperor's sister-in-law to entertain them. The three girls of similar age ate, drank, talked and laughed. Princess Yongqing

, who had no ulterior motives, heard Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi constantly praising His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin for his bravery and bravery, and the great Song God of War had made great achievements in this Northern Expedition. She was also quite proud to show off to them a few words about the heroic deeds of her brother.

Luo Ruixue's eyes lit up as she listened, and her beautiful eyes were fascinated by Princess Yongqing, who was telling the wonderful story of the Qin Prince's guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Li Jiaqi was also fascinated and moved.

Beauty loves heroes, and the Qin Prince is a hero of the most noble status and the most handsome appearance.

Princess Yongqing didn't know much, but she added a few words of her own imagination to the description of her brother, trying her best to make her brother's bravery more exciting, but she couldn't say much.

Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi were still not satisfied with what they heard, and seeing that Princess Yongqing really couldn't say anything, they had to regretfully flatter her with a few poetic words.

"Princess Yongqing, your brother and sister-in-law have very different personalities and talents. Are they...having a harmonious relationship?" Luo Ruixue asked the most concerned question carefully.

Princess Yongqing was startled, and suddenly remembered that Luo Ruixue had always wanted to marry her brother as a concubine, and had even asked her mother to help her with matchmaking. She was a potential rival of the sister-in-law.

She immediately became alert and said without hesitation, "Everything is fine! My brother and his wife are extremely loving, and they are as sweet as honey. My brother is such a gentle and kind person, but he is willing to be a lapdog around my sister-in-law and is very affectionate to her!"

Princess Yongqing exaggerated the love between her brother and his wife, but she felt guilty in her heart, wondering if Luo Naocan would consummate the marriage with her brother after this long-awaited reunion. Brother, brother, can you please be more aggressive and coax your sister-in-law to give you a baby as soon as possible? Luo Naocan, don't be so willful. There are countless rich girls in the capital who are eyeing the position of Prince Qin's concubine and want to take advantage of the opportunity!

Luo Ruixue's heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of needles, and it hurt so much!

Barely controlling the burning jealousy in her heart, Luo Ruixue pursed her hair with a gratified expression, "It seems that the rumors from the outside world are the most unbelievable. It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and his wife are so loving and harmonious. It's really enviable. I sincerely wish this pair of lovers the best."

Li Jiaqi felt sour in her heart, and echoed in her mouth, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is handsome, brave, and so loyal. The Princess of Qin is so lucky."

The love between the emperor's brother and his wife was praised and blessed by them. Princess Yongqing's favor returned to her two friends, and her vigilance immediately disappeared. She smiled and said, "My royal brother and his wife are so loving and loving that it is enviable. As women, if we can also have such a wonderful marriage, our lives will not be in vain."

Luo Ruixue felt uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject, "Princess Yongqing, you are not young anymore. The marriage with the Tubo prince was postponed because you suddenly contracted smallpox. Has the selection of a prince consort been put on the agenda? Do you have someone in mind?"

Li Jiaqi's eyes immediately widened with gossip.

Princess Yongqing was not shy about this kind of whisper between close friends, but smiled generously: "I don't need to worry about this, my brother and sister-in-law will check for me, they will definitely help me choose a good husband.

Don't just care about my life-long event, you two are not young anymore, it's time to pick a good husband to marry."

With the example of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, how could she pick a good husband to marry. Luo Ruixue sighed silently in her heart, absent-mindedly accompanied Princess Yongqing for a few perfunctory words, agreed to go shopping in the East Market together in three days, and then said goodbye to Li Jiaqi and left the palace.

In the past few days, a "big event" happened in the capital. The reason why it is called a big event is that it attracts more enthusiastic praise than the Qin Wang who just returned to the capital and made a legendary military achievement.

In the teahouses and bars in the capital, countless people are burning with gossip, and they are talking about the scandal of Minister Rong's family with relish.

Rong Zhixing, the Minister of Rites, actually drank a few glasses of wine at night, and drunkenly broke into the room of his daughter-in-law Zhao Zhiya and had sex with her.

It happened that Rong Gui, the son of Minister Rong, who was out for business, happened to come back and blocked his father and his daughter-in-law in bed.

The second son of Rong, who loved his beloved wife Zhao Zhiya so much, was furious. He picked up a chair and smashed his shameless father's head, and then cried bitterly while hugging his beloved wife.

The affair between father-in-law and daughter-in-law is called "stealing ashes" in folk culture, which is the most shameful scandal. Rong Zhixing, the Minister of Rites, did such a shameless and shameless scandal that disregarded human ethics. He was really conscienceless and worse than pigs and dogs!

Zhao Zhiya, the daughter of the former prime minister Zhao Pu, was still remembered by people for her arrogance and domineering behavior in the past. Now, she has become a slutty whore who has sex with her father-in-law. She is really unfaithful to women and deserves to be put in a pig cage.

Therefore, after this gossip was spread by the servants of Rong Mansion, it quickly ignited a raging fire of gossip in the capital.

The literati imagined Zhao Zhiya's stunning beauty and exquisite figure, swallowed their saliva secretly, and angrily scolded the shameless adulterer and whore whore who was worse than pigs and dogs.

The peddlers drank the coarse and bitter big bowls of tea, their eyes sparkled with excitement, spitting, and discussing this dirty scandal in the homes of the rich and powerful.

This scandal was reported to the emperor by the officials who were full of righteous anger. They all asked the emperor to severely punish Rong Zhixing, who was worse than a beast, to rectify the sage's etiquette and restore the image of the court officials in the eyes of the people of Song Dynasty.

The emperor was also furious. He immediately issued an order to dismiss Rong Zhixing from his post as the Minister of Rites, strip him of all his honors, and drive him out of the capital and never employ him again.

Rong Zhixing fled in shame overnight. In the middle of the night, he sneaked out of the gate filled with foul-smelling feces, left his wife crying and looking for death, and returned to his hometown Jincheng with his three concubines.

Rong Gui, the second son of the Rong family, was a sentimental man. He did not dislike his beloved wife who had cheated on him. Instead, he was very considerate and coaxed his mother who was looking for death and his beloved wife who was crying and shouting that she wanted to hang herself. He packed up his belongings and went to another place to resettle and do business.

In the Qin Palace, Luo Li put another chicken leg into the bowl of the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, "Ghost Hand, you did a great job. I will reward you with another chicken leg."

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor raised his eyebrows proudly, "Master, when it comes to playing tricks on people, I am definitely the best in the world."

Qin Wang Zhao Defang looked at the princess eagerly, "Li'er, it was my uncle who did this, but I came up with the idea. Are you only rewarding him, a laborer who does dirty work?"

The ghost-handed poison doctor glared at his nephew angrily, but they knew better than to bite each other. After this brat lost the title of "virgin chicken", his master, who forgot his disciple for a beautiful woman, always sided with him in quarrels. The depressed ghost-handed poison doctor picked up the chicken leg and took a big bite!

Luo Li smiled and picked up a piece of fish meat, and put the chopsticks directly into Zhao Defang's mouth, trying to coax this black-bellied man who was full of bad intentions when he avenged her.
