Chapter 190: Fight, fight quickly, love to watch!
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng with extremely complicated expressions.
She is very beautiful, good at making money, and became the first female official. In the emperor's favor, she is simply a winner in life.
Facing many strange looks, Yun Zheng greeted them gracefully and behaved calmly and elegantly, neither arrogant nor humble.
Princess Jiangcheng grabbed her arm and was extremely envious. Lady official, she really did it!
"A Zheng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you."
The smile on Yun Zheng's face became more sincere. "I brought you a gift. Do you like it?"
It is a pair of emerald hairpins, elegant and luxurious.
Jiang Chengjun's eyes lit up, "So beautiful, I like it so much."
The Fourth Prince looked at her coldly and suddenly said, "Princess Jinyun, you are such a busy person. You came even later than us royal nobles and made us wait for you."
"What a big rack."
Yun Zheng replied indifferently, "It's not time yet. I don't have any social needs, nor do I intend to win people over. I'm different from you."
Everyone: ...
Fourth Prince: ...Who did she choose?!
He was furious. "Why is Princess Jinyun still wearing her official uniform? Are you afraid others won't know you're a fourth-rank official?"
Yun Zheng rushed over from the Imperial Household Department without changing her clothes. She smiled and nodded when she heard this. "Yes, in order for everyone to adapt as quickly as possible, I will have to work harder."
"The Fourth Prince doesn't have to suffer this. After all, even if you're talkative and gossipy like a woman, everyone knows you're a prince."
Everyone looked up to the sky and down to the ground, but they didn't dare look at the two of them, for fear that they would break down and laugh if they made eye contact.
Fight, fight quickly, love to watch!
The Fourth Prince: ...Bastard, you little bitch!
"You've caused Aunt Yongning to fall into this state, don't you feel guilty at all?"
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Fourth Prince, are you speaking up for Yongning? You're so openly going against the Emperor's will and contradicting him. Are you trying to show off? Or are you trying to gain a reputation for being loyal and righteous by stepping on the Emperor?"
These words directly exposed the Fourth Prince's little thoughts. He could not help but get angry and said, "You are talking nonsense."
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "You seem to value friendship and loyalty, but it shows that the emperor is so heartless. I really feel sorry for the emperor. He provides you with fine clothes and food, letting you live a life of luxury, but you turn around and step on me so harshly. What a jerk."
The Fourth Prince stared anxiously, "I didn't do that. You are making malicious assumptions."
Yun Zheng said calmly, "Don't treat everyone in the world as fools. The Emperor is certainly not stupid. Do you want to go to the Emperor and argue your case? Do you dare?"
Dare you? No! The Fourth Prince was scolded until he was covered in dirt and all his arrogance was gone.
Some royal family nobles met Yun Zheng for the first time. They had a very bad impression of her before coming, but now, they had a subtle sense of substitution.
You princes are so arrogant and look down on everyone. You act like you are the biggest in the world and you are all my slaves. But now you have hit a wall. Hehe, I feel inexplicably good.
Princess Jiangcheng raised the corners of her mouth, but quickly lowered her head to hide it. The Fourth Prince wanted to step on Yun Zheng to win people's hearts, but would Yun Zheng be willing to be a stepping stone?
Young Master Ji appeared out of nowhere and pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"Princess Jinyun, my mother is old and used to a life of luxury. If she were to be suddenly sent to Qingliang Temple, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to adapt and her lifespan would be affected. Please, for the sake of God's mercy, help plead for mercy and ask the Emperor to revoke his decision."
Yun Zheng asked curiously, "Why should I risk angering the Emperor to help you?"
She believed in killing her enemies completely and leaving no future troubles.
Young Master Ji's eyes flashed. He thought the woman was soft-hearted and wanted to save face and have a good reputation.
"You are kind and benevolent, and a very good person. The Ji family is willing to serve you."
There is a trap in this statement.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. This would put her in a position of provocation and would also arouse the vigilance of the government and the public.
Is this to gather one's own forces?
"Loyalty? Are you crazy? This is the emperor's world. Loyalty can only be given to the emperor, not to a certain family or person."
"You Ji family want to rebel, don't drag me into it."
She didn't fall for it, and even turned the tables. Young Master Ji's face changed drastically, "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
"I just want to ask you to be kind and spare my mother. The emperor will listen to you."
Yun Zheng is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. "You are disloyal and unrighteous."
"What?"
Yun Zheng sneered, "If you have any loyalty, you wouldn't ask a request that would embarrass the Emperor. The Emperor's words are his decree, and he never jokes."
"Once the imperial edict is withdrawn, it means that the emperor's words are useless, and the people will question the imperial power and the emperor, thus affecting the emperor's authority."
She righteously rebuked him, "As a minister, for your own selfish reasons, you have disgraced the emperor and destroyed the court's credibility. You are a disloyal and unrighteous person. I despise you."
These words shocked countless people.
Oh my god, I finally understand why she is so favored by the emperor and always protects his dignity.
Everyone stood up and accused him, "You disloyal and unrighteous son of the Ji family, you only care about your own selfish interests and disregard the emperor's dignity. I look down on you."
"You are not joking, well said."
"Young Master Ji, you can't be so selfish."
Young Master Ji’s face was pale and his lips were trembling.
Yun Zheng stabbed him coldly again, "Since you are so worried about your mother, then come with her to Qingliang Temple and serve her in person. I will help you talk to the emperor."
Ji Da Shaoru heard the death warrant and shook his head desperately, "No, no, no, please don't say it, I can't go in."
Yun Zheng sneered, and Young Master Ji felt uneasy and a chill on his back.
Neither the Fourth Prince nor Young Master Ji had ever gained any advantage over Yun Zheng. With this precedent, everyone was polite to her.
Princess Jiangcheng took Yun Zheng and walked among the crowd, introducing her to the royal family and nobles.
Yun Zheng behaved in a graceful and elegant manner, neither humble nor arrogant, and was at ease, which made people look up to her.
After a while, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The third prince's concubine Cheng Mingli looked at Yun Zheng who was surrounded in the middle with envy. She was the first female official, so amazing.
The Third Prince's wife glanced at him calmly and said, "Go if you want to."
Cheng Mingli shook her head slightly, "She is taking the path of a lone minister, so she should have less contact with the prince's family."
She saw in Yun Zheng another possibility for a woman, a shining life.
She can do business, be an official, stand in front of people with confidence, and stand shoulder to shoulder with men.
That’s great!
The servants brought freshly baked snacks for the guests to enjoy.
Yun Zheng ate, drank, talked and laughed with everyone, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Princess Jiangcheng took a sip of the rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine, and her eyes suddenly lit up and she praised them highly.
"A Zheng, this is delicious, try it."
Yun Zheng usually likes fermented rice wine, but today she has her period and cannot touch these things during this special period because she has a special physique.
"You eat it."
Seeing this, the maid standing behind serving, her eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of anxiety.
Why not drink wine and make dumplings? Isn't this her favorite snack?
She subconsciously looked at a person not far away, and the other person also looked over. The two looked at each other and exchanged an obscure look.
