Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

Afterwards, he was still not satisfied and actually took the aphrodisiac brought by Chu Ziyuan.

The two of them did not shy away from it. They stripped naked in the room, pulled up the people who were waiting on them, and indulged together...

Thinking of the scene of that day now, Ling Xun still felt endless aftertaste.

He was a man with a good-looking appearance, and he had read several books, so he had a lot of knowledge. He was also a prince, so he acted very impressively when he went out.

He had done many things like that day's indulgence, but they were all done in private and he never dared let anyone know.

If this gets out, he won't be able to get past his aunt, the Queen.

As for Chu Ziyuan, he absolutely dared not mention this matter outside.

His mother, Xiao Qi, was the half-sister of Da Qi, the wife of the Marquis of Ningyang. If it weren't for Qi, the marquis' wife, how could she have risen to prominence and married into the Chu family as the principal wife.

The Chu family originally lived in Yongjing, but they were not even considered an aristocratic family, and Chu Fengxian was only a sixth-rank official in the capital.

Later, he married Xiao Qi and climbed up the Ningyang Marquisate. With the support of Lord Ling, he is now a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.

Because she was qualified to be selected as a concubine, Chu Fengxian was able to send his daughter Chu Yi, born to his original wife, into the palace, and she became the current Concubine Hui.

Thanks to Chu Yi's hard work, she gave birth to Fu Zhen, the only prince of the Yong Dynasty, just two years after entering the palace.

In the past two years, she has relied on her youth and beauty to gain a foothold in this cannibalistic palace.

In front of Emperor Zhaoding, she was like a fresh and elegant flower that could speak, and also a good listener. Whenever Emperor Zhaoding had any troubles, he would sit with her for a while, and his mood would immediately improve a lot.

Two years later, she became the little Concubine Yi.

From the moment the eldest prince Fu Zhen was born, Emperor Zhaoding was delighted. Not only did he grant amnesty to the whole country, he also gave the eldest prince the character Zhen as his name.

Chu Yi also gained status as a mother because of her son, and she rose from a small concubine Yi to the honorable concubine Hui.

Therefore, the Chu family has some intricate relationship with the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, and Chu Ziyuan would never tell anyone what Ling Xun is like in private.

People in the capital love to curry favor with the rich and powerful, and most of them are blinded by shit. He really pretended to be so, and mistakenly regarded him as a role model for a noble son from an aristocratic family.

Little did people know that his true face is a person with corrupt personal morals, arrogance and debauchery.

"What, you have nothing to say? Humph!" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Princess Jiayang became angry and annoyed.

Ling Xun was still recalling the ecstasy of that day when he was suddenly brought back to his senses by the voice of Princess Jiayang. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

He also knew that he was in the wrong about what happened that day, so he quickly put away the folding fan in his hand, stood up and made a scholar's gesture, coaxing: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I apologize to you, please forgive me."

When Princess Jiayang saw him like this, no matter how angry she was, a lot of her anger dissipated.

Besides, what happened that day involved the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and it was not something Ling Xun could handle. She shouldn't have counted on him in the first place.

Thinking of this, she just curled her lips and was too lazy to say anything more to Ling Xun: "Since my brother has already apologized, what else can I say? I'm tired, you go."

Thinking of the scene she had just seen at the gate of the courtyard, she glared at Ling Xun and said, "Brother, there is no woman he wants. How dare you condescend to tease the little maid in my courtyard? Otherwise, you can choose here today and take away the ones you like, so as to avoid gossip in the future." After that, she got up and went to the inner room.

When Ling Xun heard her words, his face turned red with embarrassment.

As a brother, he actually flirted with the maid in his sister's courtyard. If this gets out, Tsk tsk...

Ling Xun took two quick steps to the bead curtain and stood still, saying with a little guilt: "Die'er, don't be angry. Brother came here specially to apologize to you today. As for the maid's matter, it was my fault today. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future, don't worry, I'm leaving first..."

Seeing no one responded in the room, he left in boredom.

Although Ling Xun was not a good prince, he was definitely a good brother. Otherwise, even if he messed up, there would be no need for him to apologize to Jiayang County Lord.

What's more, he later saved his face and went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with Qi to apologize to Jiang Luo on behalf of Princess Jiayang.

He was just much inferior to his father, Lord Ling, and his aunt, Queen Ling.

There is no harm without comparison.

The families that were injured in the incident of the mountain bandits hated Liu Dazhuang to death, and were also angry at the Jinyiwei. But no one dared to show it, and they could only accept the reward from the palace with a smile.

I just hated Lu Jinan more in my heart.

This is especially true of the Yongxing Marquis’s Mansion.

Although there has been no conclusion on the bandit incident in the court today, everyone knows clearly the rewards to be given in the palace.

The palace comforted the injured princes and sent imperial doctors to treat them, but it did not mention any punishment for the Jinyiwei who neglected the matter.

The person on the dragon throne was obviously protecting Lu Jinan.

It was already the hour of Xu. When Hong Yan returned home from his shift at the Hanlin Academy, Wubai was already waiting for him in the study.

After he washed his face, he went to the study.

He changed out of his official uniform, and casually tied up his half-dried black hair with a simple red sandalwood hairpin. He was wearing a white robe that hung loosely.

Although his figure is a little thin and not as strong as a military commander, his exposed chest muscles are clearly visible, and it is obvious that he exercises regularly.

If Lu Jinan is a cold, aloof, and always-threatening nobleman, then Hong Yan is a typical scholar, elegant, refined, and gentle as jade.

"Is there anything unusual about the Xie family?" he asked as he lifted up his robe and sat down.

Even in such an urgent matter, his voice was as calm as always, like a breeze.

Wu Bai stood in front of the desk, cupped his hands and replied: "To answer your question, sir, there is nothing unusual. It's just that I heard that Miss Xie sprained her ankle at Qingquan Manor that day."

Hong Yan frowned when he heard this: "Have you found out where he sprained his ankle?"

"It's on the back hill of Zhuangzi, not far from the horse farm, and at the foot of the North Mountain."

This is even stranger.

"Why did you sprain your ankle? Who were you with?"

"The servants of the Xie family are very tight-lipped. I spent a lot of effort to get a little information from a follower. They said it was related to Miss Jiang from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. But after Miss Xie sprained her ankle, they hurried back to the manor."

He added, "I have been squatting outside Xie's house all day today. I have not seen anyone from Xie's house go to the Duke of Zhenguo's house to question them, nor have I seen anyone from the Duke of Zhenguo's house come to apologize. I guess it's not a big deal."

"Knock knock~" there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Another personal guard of Hong Yan walked in from the dark. He clasped his fists and said, "Sir."

Hong Yan raised his hand slightly and asked in a somewhat disappointed tone, "What did you find?"
