Chapter 24 Protecting Him Again
Tiantong City had several heavy rains and the weather became much warmer.
The spring sun broke through the clouds, and golden light splashed on the vermilion gate of the royal hunting ground, and the five-colored flags fluttered.
Today is the royal spring hunt, supervised by the Queen, so the royal family and nobles of Dai Viet are all vying to participate, especially the noble ladies and young men of marriageable age.
Only Chu Yangyang and Luo Xifeng attended the Prime Minister's Mansion. Unfortunately, Chu Xinyao, who wanted to show her talents the most, was sent back to her hometown in Luochuan. Otherwise, she, the peacock, would not know how to spread her feathers.
Chu Shenhao was ordered by Chu Shiyuan to go back to the academy to study, so he did not come.
Chu Yangyang rode over on horseback, and when he pulled the reins, the hem of his silver-red riding uniform swept across the saddle of his horse.
She was secretly happy, fortunately she had lived on the grassland for a period of time in modern times, so she was well versed in the art of horse riding.
"The princess is quite simple today." A soft laugh drifted from the Minister of Revenue's carriage, and Lin Shuyue's snow-blue skirt brushed against the shaft. "Could it be that the snake venom has damaged her brain?"
Muffled chuckles were heard all around.
Everyone knows that Chu Yangyang used to love riding clothes embellished with oriental pearls. Although the silver-red sleeves of this outfit today are embroidered with dark gold peonies, it looks unusually plain among the brocades everywhere.
Chu Yangyang looked down, and the original owner's memories slowly came back.
Lin Shuyue is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She has always been at odds with the original owner. She hates the original owner's cruelty and despises her for being dissolute and unfaithful to her husband.
At this time, Shen Mingzhu, the daughter of General Zhong Rong and also the cousin of Prince Jing, jumped out of the carriage, her pomegranate-red skirt lifted. The golden butterfly hairpins on her hair swung directly in front of Chu Yangyang. "Who is the dog that saw my sister dressed so stunningly and is barking here? Miss Lin, are you jealous of my sister's beauty?"
Shen Mingzhu affectionately held Chu Yangyang's arm.
This person is the original owner's closest girlfriend, and also her evil teammate.
For example, it was Shen Mingzhu who persuaded us to visit the White Horse Tower three months ago.
The jade-green hair shone with a cold light. Lin Shuyue looked up and smiled coldly, "I'm not jealous, but I'm jealous that you embroidered the sachet for a month?"
The noble ladies watching laughed again.
Everyone knew that the sachet that Shen Mingzhu embroidered for King Jing last month was thrown into the zoo in disgust.
"you!"
Shen Mingzhu glared angrily and wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by Chu Yangyang. "Mingzhu, calm down. Prince Jing is here too."
Chu Yangyang pointed to the distance with her chin. Shen Mingzhu looked in that direction and happened to see the look in King Jing's eyes. Shen Mingzhu immediately lowered her head in shame and said no more.
On the other side of the hunting ground, there was a noise.
Liu Zigu, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, was using a jade-inlaid horsewhip to lift Luo Xifeng's medicine box.
Liu Zigu was wearing a golden python robe today, looking like a peacock with its tail spread out, which made Luo Xifeng, dressed in black, look elegant and handsome.
Liu Zigu sneered, "Doctor Luo's broken wooden box, is it filled with rouge and powder or something to please the princess?"
Several playboys burst into laughter.
More than a month ago, Liu Zigu's mother had a headache, so he went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician overnight. At that time, only Luo Xifeng was on duty. Luo Xifeng refused Liu Zigu on the grounds that he was only used by the master in the palace and could not leave his post without permission.
My mother had a headache all night long.
From then on, Liu Zigu held a grudge against Luo Xifeng and got angry whenever he saw him.
Luo Xifeng was saddle- ing the white horse, his slender fingers as steady as a needle.
Liu Zigu suddenly kicked over the medicine chest, causing cracks to appear on the red sandalwood box. A snow-white cloth mixed with silver needles rolled into the dust. "What are you pretending to be? You're just a lowly person who used your face to trick the princess into taking you in. Do you really think you're a noble?"
Luo Xifeng remained motionless, showing no sign of anger. He said with a gentle gaze, "Young Master Liu, please respect yourselves."
"Self-respect?" Liu Zigu's sneer grew even louder. "You're relying on your bedroom skills to earn this young master's respect?"
The onlookers laughed even louder.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" cut off the obscene words.
Chu Yangyang's silver whip brushed past Liu Zigu's ear, leaving a blood mark.
Liu Zigu was so frightened that he stepped back and immediately shouted, "Who is so blind as to dare to whip me?"
"I beat you, so what?" Chu Yangyang quickly walked up to Luo Xifeng and protected him behind her. "If anyone dares to say 'Lord Luo' again, don't blame me for being blind with my whip."
Shen Mingzhu hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, "Yangyang, are you crazy? Aren't these lowly people what you hate the most?"
Someone whispered, "I heard that the princess had a very bad relationship with Doctor Luo and often beat and scolded him. But today, it's not like what the rumors said."
"It's hard to say. Maybe the princess is just doing it for her own face."
"How is that possible? The princess had previously ordered Doctor Luo to kneel down and polish her shoes in front of everyone. Many people witnessed this."
"So fierce?"
The onlookers were whispering to each other, staring with wide eyes, wanting to see what this tyrannical princess was going to do next.
Chu Yangyang was secretly ashamed. The original owner's weird operations were really endless.
In addition, these guys who take advantage of their power to bully others also provoke Luo Xifeng with every word they say, which is simply pushing her to death.
How could she let these bastards ruin the goodwill she had worked so hard to gain?
But it doesn’t matter, this is another good opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.
Liu Zigu sneered in dissatisfaction, "The princess has eaten too much chaff and forgotten her own status. Why is she defending such a lowly person?"
Chu Yangyang shook off Shen Mingzhu's hand and pointed the golden whip at the tip of Liu Zigu's nose. "I think Mr. Liu doesn't want this filthy mouth anymore."
Luo Xifeng's gentle and calm eyes finally showed a ripple.
In an instant, he calmed down again.
Oh, but wasn't it she who brought this insult upon him?
Now he's pretending again.
Luo Xifeng raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner, without even raising his head, but just continued to fiddle with the saddle in his hands.
Liu Zigu's neck shrank slightly. He didn't dare to offend this ridiculous princess from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he also heard that the princess had recently become disgusted with Luo Xifeng, so he dared to make sarcastic remarks.
However, in front of so many people, he still bit the bullet and said for the sake of face, "I wonder when did the princess and Doctor Luo have such a harmonious relationship?"
Chu Yangyang casually swung the whip to the ground, and the corner of the whip almost hit Liu Zigu again, scaring him so much that he stepped back repeatedly. Even the onlookers nearby dodged, fearing that the whip in the princess's hand would not be sharp.
Liu Zigu was so angry that he was about to rush forward.
"It's a warm spring day, why are you all so tense?"
Prince Jing Li Rongjue stepped into the crowd wearing gilded riding boots.
The jade beads on his fingertips made a crisp sound, startling Liu Zigu so much that he hurriedly took three steps back.
Chu Yangyang saw at a glance the white jade pendant on his waist, on which was faintly engraved the word "Jing".
It seems that this person is the third prince Li Rongjue, King Jing.
Chu Yangyang instantly became alert.
The original book mentioned that King Jing was a smiling fox who did many sinister and treacherous things in secret.
For example, today's spring hunting may appear calm on the surface, but in fact something big is going to happen today.
Chu Yangyang gripped the whip tightly in her hand and looked warily at the gentle and handsome prince in front of her.
Although she had not read the entire section on political intrigue in the original book, and did not know who the mastermind behind the scenes was, she knew that the King Jing before her was definitely not a good person.
She unconsciously stood in front of Luo Xifeng, trying to block King Jing's sight of Luo Xifeng.
Prince Jing seemed to have noticed something. A pair of sinister eyes flashed across his face, and a smile grew on his face. "Yangyang, it's been a long time since we last met. You've become even more beautiful. Perhaps it's Doctor Luo's credit?"
Chu Yangyang smiled and reached out to hold Luo Xifeng's hand, not caring about the astonished looks of the people present. "Lord Luo is a skilled doctor. With him by my side, I will naturally be healthy both physically and mentally, and look more radiant."
