Chapter 1322

She pointed the inked end of the brush at him, "My Lord, please don't let the ink stain your clothes."

The implication is, get away from me, you dirty thing, and don't come near me!

Two days later, Mrs. Zhong, the wife of the Minister of Rites, Mr. Peng, returned home from a banquet at Fugui Tower. She looked panicked and started yelling before she even entered the courtyard, "Master! Master, Master, Master... It's not good!"

Master Peng poked his head out of the study and said unhappily, "Madam, why are you so panicked? It's like you were chased by a dog!"

"It's worse than being chased by a dog!" Zhong ran with sweat on her forehead. She entered the master's study, picked up the cup inside and poured herself a glass of water. She gulped down the water and said with a gasp, "Master, this is terrible! Our Peng family is in big trouble!"

Although Mr. Peng knew that his wife was always making a fuss, he was a very sensible person and asked nervously, "What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhong asked, "You know I went to meet Princess Yongle today, right?"

"I know. She is your childhood friend..."

Mrs. Zhong waved her hands, "No, no, no, we couldn't play together since we were little. She is aloof and capable, and she has always looked down on people like us who chatter. She really has a special meaning in inviting me this time!"

"Don't keep us in suspense." Lord Peng was anxious.

"I am just laying the groundwork for you. Prince Yongle wants to take a concubine, and the princess has already reported this to the emperor."

"So what?"

"So what! My God, you can't even guess who that concubine is! It's really one wrong step, and then there are all the wrong steps."

"Do you want to make me anxious to death?" Lord Peng was so angry that he wanted to scratch his head.

Mrs. Zhong finally stopped keeping the secret, "Your third brother's wife, do you remember? Remember? That slut, really, I don't know what words to use to describe her! She actually hooked up with Prince Yongle and wanted to be his concubine!"

Master Peng was so shocked that he fell down on his chair, "Are you serious?"

"How could this be false!" Mrs. Zhong wiped her sweat and took a sip of water. "I ran away claiming to be sick before the banquet was over. Tell me, when would I run away halfway through a banquet? I would always try to form another group after the banquet was over, but I actually ran away this time!"

Lord Peng looked extremely pale.

Others may not understand the rules for the royal family, but as a Minister of Rites who is specifically in charge of these trivial matters, how could he not understand?

In principle, the emperor would not interfere with the matter of the princes taking concubines, as it was far away from home. However, the princes were generally aware of the situation and were more cautious in taking concubines.

Those with bad conduct and bad backgrounds who secretly become concubines are not bothered by anyone.

But it’s different for concubines, as their names will be included in the royal jade book.

If Emperor Mingde knew that the name of such a thing was included in the royal jade book and polluted the royal bloodline, he would be furious!

Who could have known that Prince Yongle would act so foolishly?

Isn't it said that Princess Yongle is very sensible? Why is she also making trouble?

Master Peng slammed the desk hard, and ink spilled all over the paper. "Go and stop them! Don't let them mess around anymore!"

Zhong shook her head. "It's too late. Princess Yongle has already reported it to the emperor."

Lord Peng was disappointed, "It's over. We are going to be killed by that woman. Are all the people in the Changshan Marquis's mansion dead? Don't they have this common sense?"
