After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Lu Yu sneered, "I think His Majesty was right to choose a study partner for you. Let's find some talented women to teach you."

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, fearing that Lianxiang would grab him and beat him up.

After Lu Yu left, Qi Wuyou fell into self-doubt, "Is my handwriting really ugly?"

Lianxiang rolled her eyes and comforted Qi Wuyou, "That's not true. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Qi Wuyou nodded and put the matter behind him. "Pick them up in a couple of days. Remember to go there in person."

Lianxiang nodded, "Don't worry, Madam."

The shortlisted candidates were sent out early this morning.

When Xuan Yelan went to court, he still had a pile of memorials at hand. The difference was that they were all about Zhang Ji, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xuan Yelan breathed a sigh of relief and began to question Zhang Ji from head to toe.

Zhang Ji was totally confused. Xuan Yelan angrily waved the letter and asked him to take a look at it himself.

Zhang Ji picked one up tremblingly, read it quickly, and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

Of course Zhang Ji didn't know. He had been away for some time. He entered the imperial capital last night and didn't even go home. He went straight to the court. How could he know what had happened during this time?

Zhang Ji had found it strange at first and didn't know what was going on. After reading the memorial, he found out that an imperial censor had reported him for not educating his daughter properly and for not maintaining a strict household discipline, which led to his daughter instigating him to insult the empress.

No wonder even Academician Xiao and Minister Yan, with whom he usually had a good relationship, ignored him?

Others may not know, but Zhang Jike knows that Grand Secretary Xiao and Minister Yan have always supported the Queen.

But Zhang Ji didn't know that it was the duty of the Censorate to impeach people. They had not impeached Qi Wuyou because of the girls' school. On the contrary, they very much agreed with Qi Wuyou running a girls' school.

But they are the only ones who can bully the people reported by the Censorate. If they knew that someone bullied the people they reported...

I'm sorry, I can only join you in this discussion.

God knows how angry the children who ran for election yesterday were when they went back and described what happened.

No matter how bad the little queen is, only they can say it, no one else can.

In their opinion, the punishment against Zhang Ruoning was not too severe. They thought that after impeaching Zhang Ji, they would not punish the young queen too severely.

Zhang Ji didn't know that after this incident, Xuan Yelan finally found a scapegoat. He had been annoyed by the censor during this period of time, not to mention that it was true that his daughter scolded his An An.

Xuan Yelan directly fined him three months' salary and demoted him, just to comfort An An's young heart.

In this way, Zhang Ji worked overtime and rushed back. He went to the palace to attend the morning court without stopping, and received the news that he would be fined for three months' salary and demoted to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhang Ji had no place to vent his anger. Before he could calm down, he had just entered the house when the decree came for his eldest daughter to enter the palace.

Upon asking, he found out that his daughter had gone to the palace to participate in the selection of tutors. The eldest daughter was selected, while the second daughter was beaten with a stick for insulting the queen.

No wonder the censor reported him.

Zhang Ji gave a bitter smile, looking at the angry Ma who didn't dare to say a word, and managed to put out the anger in his heart.

When the imperial edict arrived at the Minister's Mansion, the Zhang family was having dinner. Upon hearing the edict, Zhang Ji's wife, Ma, threw the bowl down.

Zhang Ji stood aside and didn't dare to breathe. Zhang Ruoming and her daughter also reduced their presence and stood aside in silence.

However, Zhang Ruoning gave Zhang Ruoming a fierce look. Although the beating was not severe, the whole imperial capital was still spreading the rumor that she was disrespectful to the queen and was even given a beating.

Ma also looked at Zhang Ruoming and her daughter standing on the side and sneered, "You are really capable, you have got the support of the queen."

Mrs. Ge hurriedly pulled Zhang Ruoming to kneel down, "Madam, please forgive me."

Ma overturned the table and the scalding porridge spilled onto Ge. Zhang Ruoming was quick to protect Ge behind her, and the porridge spilled onto her back.

A look of panic flashed across Ma's face. Just as she was about to ask someone to find a doctor, she saw Zhang Ji walking aside.

Zhang Ruoming was in severe pain and didn't even bother to cry out. From the corner of his eye he saw Zhang Ji pick up the whip and immediately hold Ge tightly under his body.

"Snap, snap, snap" After a few whips, Zhang Ruoming's skin was torn and his face turned pale.

"Ming'er, get out of the way quickly and don't worry about me," Ge shouted as she pushed, but no matter how hard Ge pushed, Zhang Ruoming did not get away.

"Master, Madam," the doorman came running over to announce, "someone is coming from the palace."

When Zhang Ji heard this, he felt terrible, thinking that maybe he was here to pick someone up.

He looked at Zhang Ruoming who was beaten half to death, threw away the whip in his hand, and pushed the doorman out, "Go and stop them quickly, don't let anyone in yet."

"Who are you stopping?" a female voice sounded.

Zhang Ji looked over and saw that it was a woman. He showed disdain on his face, "A woman shouldn't show respect to me when she sees me?"

But before Zhang Ji could wait for the woman to lower her head, he saw another person coming out from behind the person who came, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The man who came was Liu He, and the woman was Lianxiang.

Liu He sneered, "Master Zhang has such great authority. Let me pay my respects to you, Master Yuanwailang."

Zhang Ji quickly dodged, completely losing his previous arrogance, and smiled, "Your Excellency, your words are too harsh. I am a humble official who did not recognize the great man. I hope you will forgive me."

Beside Zhang Ji, Ma stood aside with her head down and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Zhang Ruoming saw Lianxiang, she weakly called out, "Sister." Then she fainted in relief.

Lianxiang frowned, walked over to check Zhang Ruoming's injuries, and said, "It's not a serious injury, but it delayed things."

After saying this, he asked someone to carry Zhang Ruoming away. Ge cried and shouted that she wanted to follow them.

Lianxiang thought that this person was a survivor of the Ge family and might know the truth about the extermination of the Ge family, so she took him away.

When Zhang Ruoning saw Zhang Ruoming being taken away, the resentment in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

Liu He took a look and said with a smile, "Second Miss, have you not learned your lesson yet?"

Zhang Ji wanted to speak, but Zhang Ruoning reacted faster, "How dare you, a eunuch, come to control me? Look carefully, this is the Zhang Mansion."

Liu He sneered, "Second Miss, do you think that you were beaten because you were in the palace?"

"Don't call me the Second Miss. I am the only daughter of the Zhang family."

Ma, who was standing closest, quickly covered her mouth. Zhang Ji was also thinking about apologizing to Liu He, "Don't blame me, Eunuch Liu. My daughter is hysterical. She is sick."

Liu He looked at Zhang Ruoning and smiled, "Since you are hysterical, then find a farm to take good care of you, so as not to bring harm to your family."

Zhang Ji shuddered when he heard this, "Yes, yes, I understand."

Liu He nodded, turned around and left.

Ma slumped on the ground. Zhang Ruoning rolled and crawled to Zhang Ji's side, her hair disheveled, and spoke expectantly, "Dad, you're not really going to send me away, are you?"

Seeing that Zhang Ji was unmoved, Zhang Ruoning added, "I am your biological daughter!"

After saying this, Zhang Ruoning regretted it. Zhang Ruoming was also his biological daughter. How had she lived all these years?
