Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

A dead silence.

Ding Shuo was like a duck with its neck pinched, staring at the newcomer with wide eyes, "Uncle, uncle..."

A slap hit him in the face like thunder, knocking him to the ground.

The loud explosion stunned Ding Shuo. When he came to his senses, he covered his face and cried out in pain. He looked up and saw his uncle's ashen face. He sobered up immediately and recalled what nonsense he had said under the influence of alcohol. Fear suddenly surged in his heart and he wished he could slap himself twice more.

After all, she is Madam.

Even if he couldn't stand it, he could just think about it secretly, and at most take revenge in secret. But if he said it out loud like this, wouldn't it give people something to talk about? !

Fortunately, not many people heard these big words, so my uncle probably wouldn't punish him...

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard his uncle's cold voice above his head, "Give him fifty strokes of the cane and drive him out of the house!"

"Uncle!!" Ding Shuo looked up suddenly, unable to believe it.

Fifty boards?? !!

If the person who did it showed no mercy, he might kill the person! !

Even though his uncle had always disliked him for being useless and had been strict with him, he had only given him minor punishments and had never been as serious as he was today, not only beating him but also kicking him out of the Duke's Mansion.

Realizing that his uncle was serious and not just threatening him, Ding Shuo trembled all over and struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints of several strong servants.

He kept begging for mercy, but finding it useless, he brought up his late father, "You can't do this to me! You promised my dad that you would take good care of me!!"

No matter how he shouted, the board still fell down mercilessly.

The cries for mercy turned into wails and curses, which sounded particularly mournful in the empty yard.

The other few people playing cards had already sobered up and dared not move. They were forced to watch it all, like monkeys being warned in a scare tactic.

They even smelled blood, their faces turned pale, and they couldn't help but look up at the steward.

They are uncle and nephew, can't they be given some leniency?

The steward stood there coldly, as if he had a heart of stone, and was unmoved.

No one dared to observe his expression carefully, so naturally they could not detect the reluctance and struggle hidden in his eyes. His fists were clenched and shaking in his hanging wide sleeves.

He grew up with his brother, but his brother and sister-in-law died early, leaving behind only this child, who they asked him to raise and care for.

If he didn't care so much about this child, why would he use his privileges to arrange for him to work in the mansion?

Unfortunately, Ding Shuo was spoiled since childhood, and he was too busy to keep the child under his supervision and educate him all the time, so he had to arrange a place for him in the kitchen, which was less likely to cause trouble and more comfortable.

totally unexpected……

He was not careful for a moment, and Ding Shuo caused such a big disaster! !

Who on earth said that the lady had fallen out of favor? How stupid must one be to believe such nonsense?

He is the master's confidant. He sees clearly how important the lady is to the master and how deep the master's feelings are.

Looking down at his nephew's desperate and resentful eyes, the steward sighed helplessly and whispered imperceptibly, "I'm just saving you..."

Beating the man half to death and driving him out of the house was already a lenient treatment on his part.

If this matter were to get to the ears of the master, I'm afraid the master would not even give him face and would directly take Ding Shuo's life.

Fortunately, his lady told him not to report the matter to the master.

The steward was very grateful and warned everyone present in a cold voice, "Keep today's events to yourself and don't mention it again."

He is loyal to his master, but he also has a little selfish motives of his own.

If possible, he still hoped to save his nephew's life. No matter how dissolute and troublesome he was, he was his only living relative after all.

After dealing with all the matters and clearing up the loose ends, the steward seemed to have aged ten years, with his back more hunched. He walked back to Nian Tu with heavy steps, ready to apologize to the lady.

Several maids guarding the gate of the courtyard had just been scolded by him, and they shrank back when they saw him. They said timidly, "The Madam has gone out. She said that she will not check the accounts in the afternoon, so she will give Manager Ding a half-day off to rest."

"Out?" The butler was surprised. "Is the Madam alone?"

He took a deep breath when he saw the little maid nod.

Although there must be secret guards following, they will not show up easily unless there is personal danger. Madam has been kept in the Nian family for twenty years without leaving the house. Is it really okay for her to go out and wander around by herself?! Will she be deceived? ?

On the street in Fangshi, Nian Tu's nose was itchy and he couldn't help sneezing.

Countless eyes were attracted by the movement. Once they saw her face clearly, they could not look away and stared at her infatuatedly.

In less than half an hour after going out, Nian Tu had already rejected the approaches of more than a dozen people. Even after knowing that she was a married woman, there were still people who insisted on having an affair with her, which made her feel so embarrassed that she was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the security on this street was good, and police soon came to maintain order, and even stood guard not far away. Finally, her surroundings became much quieter.

Nian Tu touched her face and decided to wear a veil next time she went out.

With a clear goal in mind, she walked into a pharmacy and bought a lot of spices at a high price.

After asking someone for directions, I successfully found a Hu merchant, and my collection of spices became more complete.

Although the food at the Duke's Mansion was good, she was a little tired of it and always felt that something was missing. She took this opportunity to improve her diet.

Cows were an important labor force in this era and could not be slaughtered at will, so beef was not easily available. Nian Tu bought some mutton and some good pork belly, then walked to the fish stall.

From a distance, the fishmonger was greeting us warmly, "Girl, would you like to buy some fish? They were just caught this morning, and they're still alive! They're so fresh!"

The stalls were filled with fish and aquatic products, and the ground around them was inevitably splashed with water, which mixed with the sand and soil to form mud.

Nian Tu didn't want to dirty her skirt, so she carefully lifted a corner and walked over with cautious steps.

She was so focused on staring at the ground that she didn't pay any attention to herself. Naturally, she didn't notice that the window of the restaurant next door was half open and there was someone sitting by the window, just in time to have a clear view of the scenery outside.

A pair of blue eyes stared at her for a long time without moving away.

In the private room specially used to receive distinguished guests, it was quiet and no one dared to speak.

The food in this restaurant is average, but it has a good location. It is located in the most prosperous area. If the building was built higher, it would have a panoramic view of the entire market.

The emperor left the palace and traveled incognito, accompanied only by his personal eunuchs and a few guards.

The guards were taciturn and it was the eunuch Shunxi who ran around and told the emperor folk rumors to entertain him.

As he was speaking, Shunxi keenly noticed that His Majesty seemed absent-minded and was not listening to him at all. His eyes were fixed somewhere outside the window, as if attracted by something.

Shunxi has served His Majesty for more than ten years, from the prince to the crown prince and then to the emperor, but this is the first time he has seen His Majesty so absent-minded.

If he was not mistaken, he also saw a look of desire in His Majesty's eyes.

...What is so powerful?

Shunxi subconsciously stopped talking, not daring to disturb His Majesty's enjoyment.

Seeing His Majesty's gaze constantly moving and changing positions, he realized belatedly that His Majesty seemed not to be looking at something, but at someone.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to look over.

"??!!"

I don’t know, I’m scared.

A slender woman with picturesque features stood there. She seemed like she seldom went out and was unfamiliar with her surroundings, looking around.

Is His Majesty looking at her???

Shunxi was surprised at first, then happy, and couldn't believe it.

Your Majesty has been on the throne for many years. Since the mourning period, there have been constant persuasion from ministers, hoping that Your Majesty will select concubines as soon as possible to enrich the harem and prolong the lineage. Your Majesty always verbally agreed but did not really do it. The harem is still empty now, and there has not even been a single fling.

Fortunately, His Majesty is young and has not yet reached adulthood, so those ministers are anxious and worried, but they are not so anxious as to threaten to kill themselves. But they are very worried that His Majesty is as cold-hearted as General Zong Xiao of the Zhenguo Mansion and has no interest in women.

Without an heir, the country will be unstable. Even if you don't like love affairs, Your Majesty must have an heir.

Shunxi was not familiar with state affairs, but he understood the reason behind it. He once worried about His Majesty so much that his head became bald. However, His Majesty was not enlightened and no one could persuade him.

I never expected that a turning point would come like this!

"Your Majesty..." Shunxi's voice trembled with excitement, "Shall I go and bring her up?"

She is indeed a rare beautiful woman with an exceptionally gentle temperament. It is understandable that Your Majesty would like her.

As they were talking, a man in fancy clothes and his servants surrounded the woman and seemed to be harassing her and pestering her.

"Rong Zheng," Tan Konglin frowned and called the chief guard, "Go and warn the son of Marquis Leping to behave himself."

Shunxi was stunned.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would be so patient and only send people to help out, but didn't take the opportunity to call the woman over for a talk.

Could it be that His Majesty is not actually that interested in her?

The hypothesis is overturned as soon as it is proposed.

Just after completing one task, the captain of the guard received a second order. His Majesty ordered him to stay nearby and guard the woman and not allow anyone to harass her again.

As the emperor's trusted guard, this was the first time that Rong Zheng was ordered to protect someone else.

Shunxi smelled something unusual.

Having served the king for many years, he developed an exceptionally keen intuition and cautiously chose to keep his mouth shut and not speak again.

Until the woman walked around and bought some fish and shrimp, and a few pancakes, and was about to leave, Shunxi couldn't help but worry, "Your Majesty, she is leaving! Aren't you going to take her back to the palace?"

This is the first time that His Majesty has taken a fancy to a woman! How can he let her go just like that?

Tan Konglin sat by the window, maintaining a calm expression, but the corners of his clothes were wrinkled, revealing his inner unrest, "She doesn't know me, so she may not be willing to go back to the palace with me."

"How could that be?" Shunxi was puzzled. "You are the emperor!"

Whoever the emperor takes a fancy to is blessed! Who dares to refuse?

What's more, Your Majesty is handsome and has great talent and strategy. If any woman in this world is lucky enough to see your face, they will surely admire you.

"...So what if he's the emperor?" Tan Konglin stared at the figure that was gradually moving away and stood up unable to sit still.

If he was not mistaken, the gardenia-colored dress on the woman was made of the new cloth supplied this year. He had not given that cloth to many people, including the Minister of the Chancellery, the Grand Tutor, Zong Shouyuan...

The Taifu has no female relatives in his family, while the Shangshu Ling has a wife, three concubines and two daughters, none of whom look like this.

Zong Shouyuan...

Zong Shouyuan married the daughter of the Nian family.

He heard the news in the palace that the woman was favored as soon as she entered the palace, and General Zong, who had never understood romance, plunged into the land of tenderness and indulged in it. He took action to clean up the Nian family in order to vent his wife's anger.

Tan Konglin had lived in the Duke's Mansion for a long period of time when he was young and grew up with Zong Shouyuan. He thought he knew this guy very well and thought the news was ridiculously fake. He just laughed it off and didn't believe it at all. He just thought he had some plan and wanted to use this lady.

But now, he became uncertain and wavered.

The woman had her hair combed in a bun, so she was definitely not a lady.

...Is she really Zong Shouyuan’s wife?

Tan Konglin couldn't tell what he felt in his heart for a moment. The overwhelming jealousy surged up and drowned him.

"Your Majesty!" Shunxi watched the man in front of him disappear, his clothes falling to the ground. A white cat came out from the window and jumped directly out of the window. He didn't even have time to stop it.

"Hurry, hurry and chase him!!!" He couldn't help but make the sharp explosion like a boiling kettle.

Legend has it that the royal family has the blood of the mythical beast white tiger flowing in their veins, and that the members of the family can transform into the form of the beast, a fact only known to those who serve them closely.

The other royal family members could only turn into mixed-haired kittens, except their Majesty, who was completely snow-white with the word "王" on his forehead. He looked very heroic and it was obvious at first glance that he was destined to be the king.

It's too dangerous for such a beautiful kitten to run around outside. If it is caught by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shunxi and the guards were all panicked. They quickly paid the bill and chased after him.

Fortunately, the woman didn't walk fast, so they didn't chase her too far and successfully caught sight of her in the crowd.

A furry head was sneaking around not far away, avoiding the crowd nimbly. Its steady steps revealed an imperceptible joy, and it followed closely behind her, its tail revealing its mood, standing upright.

Shunxi: “…”

He stopped the guard who wanted to move forward.

It’s good enough that they have found His Majesty. It’s better not to disturb His Majesty from courting. They should just follow him from a distance.

But he just couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand what His Majesty was thinking and why he wanted to transform into a beast to get closer to the woman he liked.

Wouldn't it be better to just reveal your identity?

After tracking all the way to the end and seeing the plaque of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Shunxi widened his eyes and took a breath.

He suddenly realized something and recalled a very important event.

The woman's hair seemed to be in a bun! !

After going out, Nian Tu had a good harvest and asked a servant to help carry the things back to the yard.

She rubbed her sore arms, lamenting that this body was too useless and much worse than when she lived on Earth.

After resting in the rocking chair for a while, she lazily got up.

Several maids were busy in the yard, and all the ingredients had been prepared according to her instructions.

There was a small kitchen in the yard, but it had been unused for a long time and was covered with dust. The maids cleaned the kitchen quickly, and a few servants brought firewood and put it into the stove to ignite it.

"What does Madam want to do? Let us do it." Seeing Nian Tu rolling up her sleeves and seemed to be doing it herself, the maid hurriedly stopped her.

"It's okay, I'll do it," Nian Tu waved at them.

Cooking is not very tiring. The troublesome part is the preliminary preparation work, which has been handled by them. The remaining work is not tedious, and she is very good at it and skilled at it.

After eating too much light and nourishing food, I occasionally want to change the taste.

Nian Tu first stewed the fish soup, then changed the pot, cut the beautiful pork belly into thin slices, fried it in the pan until it was crispy and sizzling with oil, and then sprinkled some heavy spices on it, which immediately gave off a tempting aroma.

The marinated mutton was placed on the stove for grilling. She personally watched the heat for a while and told a maid to take charge. Several maids took turns, drooling with greed.

Taking advantage of this time, Nian Tu made another dish of garlic shrimp. Unfortunately, there was no chili, so it still seemed like something was missing, but it still tasted very good.

There weren't many types of dishes, but the quantity was large. She tasted them one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and called a few maids, "Come and eat together. I've bought you some pancakes, too."

The maids were hesitant and dared not move rashly.

It was really too presumptuous to eat with the master. Even if the lady was gentle and tolerant, they could not really break the rules.

But the fragrance was so overpowering and strong that the first person couldn't resist it, and one after another, everyone broke their temper.

With their faces blushing with embarrassment, they collectively took a plate, took a little bit of each dish, each held a pancake, sat around in a circle, and ate with gratitude.

Nian Tu looked at the still full plate of food in front of him and felt a little worried.

Made too much and couldn't finish it.

Do you want to send some to Gray Wolf?

But it doesn't seem right to eat something with such a strong smell in the study...

Just as I was struggling, I suddenly heard a rustling sound behind me.
