Chapter 16 Dirty Things
"Oh, you are such a loser. You didn't drink many glasses of wine, but you drank a lot of yellow soup." Jiang Zhichang muttered incoherently, staggered to the inner room, and threw his head on the bed.
After a while, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a willow-waisted palace maid walked in with a tray.
She raised her eyes and looked at the clothes on the hanger, reached out and touched the robe, and said sweetly with a smile on her lips: "My lord, I am here to help you change your clothes."
Before she finished speaking, she walked straight to the bed in the inner room.
"My lord, I am here to help you change your clothes." Then a pair of jade hands touched Jiang Zhichang's belt.
Jiang Zhichang was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, but he sobered up when he heard the chirping
of women. He always loved beauty, and whenever he saw a beautiful woman or heard her voice, he would react like a conditioned reflex.
Unexpectedly, before he even opened his eyes, he felt a pair of soft hands touching him, and he shivered as if he had been electrified.
Jiang Zhichang turned around, opened his eyes, and exclaimed in delight: "Oh, Lanxiang, it turns out to be you, my little beauty! I missed you so much!"
He stretched out his arms and hugged Lanxiang, then turned around and pressed her down on the bed.
Lanxiang struggled hard, but her slender body was too weak to beat the big and strong Jiang Zhichang.
"Ah... Young Master, why is it you!" Lanxiang trembled.
"Why, who else could it be if not me? Who are you expecting to lie on this bed?!" Jiang Zhichang teased with a lustful look on his face.
"Since the last time, I couldn't find you. I asked my aunt but she didn't tell me. I didn't expect you to come to Zhonghe Hall." Jiang Zhichang said, his hands were not idle, and he tore at Lanxiang's belt randomly.
"Let me go, let me go quickly, no..." Lanxiang screamed in despair, but a big hand covered her mouth.
In the main hall of Shanglinyuan, Xia Miaoyuan, with a bitter face, lay in the empress's arms, listening to the two old ladies chatting about trivial matters.
Her big dark eyes rolled towards the gate.
[It's strange, does it take so long to change clothes?]
[Erguoguo, come back soon, come back and hold me to play for a while, I'm too bored.]
Xia Miaoyuan counted her fingers, feeling extremely bored.
Suddenly, a little eunuch came to Concubine Jiang in a panic, bowed and whispered to her.
"Ah? What? There is such a dirty thing in Zhonghe Hall!" Concubine Jiang was shocked.
After saying this, Concubine Jiang seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at everyone awkwardly, and then lowered her head.
[My God, Concubine Jiang, you are a graduate of the Film Academy, you are really good at acting. You are acting on purpose for everyone to see. It would be better if everyone knows about it. You can also pretend to lose your composure, you really can.]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced
at Concubine Jiang. Seeing this, the Empress Dowager, the Concubine Dowager, Xia Zhengqi, and the Queen all fell silent immediately and looked at Concubine Jiang.
"Qi Qiu, what happened just now?" The Empress Dowager asked in a deep voice.
"Nothing, nothing, it's not a big deal." Concubine Jiang looked flustered and shook her hands.
"You slave, you passed a secret message to the Imperial Concubine in front of me, you really don't take me seriously!" Xia Zhengqi looked at the eunuch angrily.
"I dare not, I dare not! This matter is really special..." The eunuch knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling.
"Say, repeat what you just whispered to the Imperial Concubine, word for word, or I will drag you out and beat you to death immediately." Xia Zhengqi frowned.
The Empress Dowager, the Queen and others were all shocked, thinking, the Emperor has always been kind to others, when did he become so cruel.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I will tell you everything. Just now, the Second Prince went to the Zhonghe Hall to change clothes. He has not been seen for a long time. The eunuchs in the Zhonghe Hall wanted to ask about it, but they heard that kind of sound coming from the room..." The little eunuch lowered his head.
"That kind of sound? What kind of sound is it?" Xia Zhengqi was puzzled
. "It's the kind of sound that a man and a woman make together. It can't be heard by others." The little eunuch hesitated.
Xia Zhengqi:...
"The Second Prince is only 16 years old. How could he do such a thing?" The Empress Dowager was shocked.
[How could I, Second Pot, be that kind of person? I'm afraid it's the treacherous concubine who is making trouble again? ]
Xia Miaoyuan pouted.
"I have always taught my concubines and the younger generation that courtesy, morality, and integrity are the most important. In life, there are many temptations, so you must keep yourself clean." The Queen Mother said solemnly.
"How can the descendants of the Xia family do such a dirty thing!" The Queen Mother knocked hard on the floor with her cane, with a look of deep pain on her face.
[What! Courtesy, morality, and integrity? Keep yourself clean? You old woman, you have the nerve to use this to educate your descendants! Hahaha, when you were 16, you even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter! ]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at the Queen Mother with disdain.
What? Illegitimate daughter!
The Queen Mother has an illegitimate daughter?
Xia Zhengqi and the Queen were both shocked, but thinking that the current matter had not been resolved, they immediately put their minds back.
"Mother, I raised Chengnian by myself, and I know his character best. If you say that he fights impulsively, I believe it. But he would never do such immoral things after drinking." The Queen said calmly. "
The eunuch heard it with his own ears, how could it be false? Besides, young men are hot-tempered, and it is possible that they can't control themselves when they see beautiful girls." Concubine Jiang glanced at the Queen with a sinister look. "As
the old saying goes, if you catch an adulterer, you catch both of them, and if you catch a thief, you catch the stolen goods. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. Please, Your Majesty, investigate it and restore Chengnian's reputation." The Queen said to Xia Zhengqi firmly, word by word.
"Okay, let's go to Zhonghe Hall now." Xia Zhengqi listened to the empress's words, and thought of Xia Chengnian's consistent character, and his uneasy heart instantly settled down.
"Debao, you take people to run over and guard the big and small doors of Zhonghe Hall. Don't let anyone out!" Xia Zhengqi ordered in a stern voice.
The empress dowager, the old concubine, the emperor, the empress, and Concubine Jiang all walked towards Zhonghe Hall, followed by their eunuchs and palace maids.
Xia Miaoyuan, held by the nanny, also followed behind.
"What's going on?"
"Why are they all gone?"
Upon seeing this, the guests immediately started whispering.
"I heard that the second prince gave a maid to..."
"The emperor and his men are going to the Zhonghe Hall to catch an adulterer!"
A few guests with sharp ears told the people around them mysteriously based on the bits and pieces they heard.
People always like gossip and like to watch the excitement. This is human nature.
When the guests heard that it was the second prince's romantic affair, they immediately became excited and followed behind, wanting to see it with their own eyes.
