The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Li Jianguo spoke before Queen Zhou could even open her mouth, "Do you want to plead for her?"

Queen Zhou was being dragged by her so-called niece while being stared at by His Majesty. To be honest, she was really confused at this time.

However, thinking that if a concubine was dragged out and beaten with twenty sticks, even if she was not beaten to death directly, it would be a complete loss of face. After thinking for a while, she was still reluctant to do it. "Noble Lady Zhou should be punished for her misbehavior in front of the palace, but twenty sticks are still too heavy. How about confining Noble Lady Zhou to her house?"

Queen Zhou said this not because Zhou Tingting was her niece.

If it were any other concubine today, she would do the same.

The women who enter the palace are honored and favored on the surface, but, in the final analysis, they are all pitiful people.

Queen Zhou didn't want to be overly harsh.

"Since the Queen has asked for mercy, I cannot refuse her. Forget the twenty strokes of the cane. Instead, confine him to Chuxiu Palace. He cannot leave unless summoned."

Zhou Tingting even forgot to cry when she heard this.

She looked at His Majesty in disbelief, then turned to look at Queen Zhou.

For a moment she couldn't tell whether the punishment of twenty lashes was more severe or being grounded until summoned.

She is a noble lady who just entered the palace! How could she suddenly become like this? !

What did she do wrong?

I guess only she can figure out the answer to this question slowly.

No one in this palace will tell her.

Qingti felt relieved when he heard that his master was punished like this.

so far so good.

At last, his life was saved.

After Zhou Tingting was dragged away, Kunning Palace returned to normal.

"I'm punishing your Zhou family's daughter like this. Do you have anything to say?"

Seeing that Queen Zhou remained silent, Li Jianguo finally couldn't help but speak first.

"I have nothing to say."

Even a fool can see that Your Majesty is just taking advantage of the situation.

However, whether the target of this attack is her, the entire Zhou family, or the entire court, only His Majesty himself knows clearly.

"It's a good thing for people to have ambitions, but if they can't control their ambitions, that's another matter."

"Princess Anguo is a very capable person, and she is also ambitious. Both her policy towards Dayan and her attitude towards Nanyue prove this."

The more Queen Zhou listened, the more confused she became. Why did the topic turn to Princess Anguo out of nowhere?

"Everyone in the court thinks that I favor Princess Anguo too much. However, they don't see the point."

Queen Zhou's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help but ask, "Which point?"

"If someone else had Princess Anguo's abilities and ambitions, Dachen would have been in turmoil by now."

"Having ambition is not a skill, being able to control ambition is a skill."

As he spoke, Li Jianguo took out the medicine Song Qingci had prepared for him from his arms, "This was specially made by Princess Anguo."

"what is this?"

"Pregnancy-enhancing drugs." Li Jianguo said openly, "Princess Anguo said that I have too few sons, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. I think so too."

After hearing this, Queen Zhou couldn't help but blush.

"Since ancient times, the country has always been ruled by the eldest son. My eldest son is timid and cowardly, and is not fit for important tasks. I want a legitimate son. I will personally raise him and he will inherit the throne in the future."

"This child needs a pure maternal family. Elder Zhou has done a good job. But the side branches of the Zhou family need to be pruned."

Having said this, what else did Queen Zhou not understand? What happened to Zhou Tingting today was a signal from him to the Zhou family's side branch.

If they are honest, that's fine. If they are not honest...
