The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Cang Hong shuddered, but her tears still flowed uncontrollably, and she looked very pitiful.

Roujia was secretly pleased and picked up a dish for Lu Yun with chopsticks. "Come, try it. This is your favorite steamed crab meat with rice flour. I listened to you. The crab roe and crab paste were dug out last November and stored in the ice cellar."

The two of them ate their meal slowly and unobservantly. Cang Hong kept sobbing, her voice rising and falling.

Suddenly, Lu Yun heard a gurgling sound. She turned the chopsticks that were reaching for the silverfish and placed a piece of sour apricot into Miss Cang's bowl. "How can you just cry without eating? Look at your sunken cheeks. It's obvious that you haven't eaten enough."

Cang Hong stared at the dried apricots and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was indeed hungry.

Wiping the tears from her face, Cang Hong picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites.

Roujia put down her chopsticks first and said, "I'm full, let's go."

The chopsticks in his hand were taken away, and Cang Hong was furious. "You——"

Lu Yun looked around and said with a smile, "Who are you talking to, Miss Cang? If you disrespect us, you will be punished."

Looking at her expression, Roujia couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You bullied me, I'm going to tell my cousin!" Cang Hong stood up and ran out crying.

"Stop!" Lu Yun stood up. "What's the punishment for being disrespectful to the princess?"

"My lord, according to the rules, he should be beaten with ten boards, but for the sake of the prince consort, I will only give him five boards." Lu Tan stepped forward and took out the wooden board that he had been holding in his hand for a long time.

He asked two maids to hold down the struggling Cang Hong, and then Lu Tan beat her five times.

Cang Hong's face was distorted with pain, and her carefully made-up face had already changed beyond recognition. She didn't say a word and became much more obedient.

Roujia suddenly felt bored. She thought he was so powerful. If it weren't for the prince consort's face, she would have taken action long ago.

At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from outside, and a young man in a light green robe walked in.

"I greet the princess and the princess." Lin Zhaoxuan bowed and saluted with a gentle voice.

Cang Hong seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and suddenly burst into tears, "Cousin, save me! They are beating me with a board."

Lin Zhaoxuan frowned. "What's going on?"

Lu Tan answered for her, "Miss Cang was rude several times just now. According to palace rules, she was given a half-strike ten times."

"I see." Lin Zhaoxuan avoided Cang Hong's hand and said, "Since you were at fault first, you can't blame others. On behalf of Cang Hong, I would like to thank the princess for showing mercy." After that, he led his men away.

Roujia said unhappily, "Look, he's always like this."

Lu Yun sighed inwardly and said sternly, "Roujia, you are a princess. Above you are His Majesty and the two madams. No matter who sits on that throne in the future, you will be the only noble eldest princess married in Kyoto."

Why are you talking about this? Roujia was puzzled.

"So, you don't need to care about what others think, and don't let others catch you." Lu Yun looked serious.

Roujia understood. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Did you figure it out?"

I didn't notice that, but I noticed something else. Lu Yun looked at her with a loving gaze. "Silly child, go out and see more. You'll find that there are many good men (good-looking men and men with good moral character).

"Take your master out for a walk more often. There are many opera troupes in Xiyuan. Besides, the Spring Examination has just ended, so there are a lot of young talents here." Lu Yun hinted to Lu Tan.

Lu Tan's eyes dodged. "Princess, is this not a good thing?"

"Lü Tan, no matter it is a man or a woman, they will become arrogant because of being spoiled. Women who become arrogant because of being spoiled usually spend some money, while men who become arrogant because of being spoiled not only spend money but also give him status, dignity, and allow him to raise children. Everyone should know how to strike first. It is better to die than for me to die for my friend." Lu Yun said earnestly.

Lin Zhaoxuan might not like Cang Hong that much, but if he always lets Cang Hong get involved between them and gives her the stage and opportunity to show herself, everything will be hard to say. Since Cang Hong wants to set up the stage to perform, let her ask Lin Zhaoxuan to sing, and your master can get out of the way and enjoy the show alone!

Lu Tan nodded and said, "I will take the princess out of the house to have tea and go shopping."

Lu Yun turned around and ran into Lin Zhaoxuan, who had been standing there for who knows how long.

Lin Zhaoxuan said indifferently, "Please don't lead the princess astray."

Lu Yun laughed in anger. "I don't know what the prince consort meant by 'leading astray'?"

"The princess knows it very well." Lin Zhaoxuan was reluctant to say more, as if he was afraid of dirtying his ears.

Lu Yun circled around him twice. "Rou Jia is a princess. She didn't marry into your Lin family to be a mistress to be driven by your family. Instead of trying to discipline others, you should think about what you promised the lady in the first place. I advise you not to be greedy."

Lin Zhaoxuan's face turned pale and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Hmph" Lu Yun snorted, I can see through you at a glance.

Cai He was puzzled. "Master, I don't think there is anything wrong with the Prince Consort. Why are you doing this?"

Lu Yun cried out, "Caihe, look, Huaizhou is ten days away from the capital by car, and this cousin came all alone. Furthermore, Roujia only invited the cousin to dinner, and the consort didn't show up early or late, and only arrived after being beaten with a stick. When he arrived, he immediately apologized and took the person away. Finally, the Lin family has no one in the court now, and Young General Lin is stationed at the border. Who gave this cousin the courage to go against the princess?"

Cai He frowned. "Could these be the prince consorts?"

The young man is teachable. Lu Yun nodded, "Who knows what he's up to? Nine out of ten times he has bad intentions."

As soon as she got on the carriage, Lu Tan came to ask her to go back.

"Just now, the eunuchs of Concubine Li's palace summoned you and me to the palace." Roujia was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up.

Concubine Li still lives in Ronghua Palace.

"The main reason I invited you two here is to ask for a favor." Concubine Li was very polite.

"If your Majesty has any request, Ning An and I will do our best to fulfill it." Roujia straightened her back and promised solemnly.

"A few days ago, I received a letter from your sister Changle. In the letter, she said that she wanted to buy a batch of seeds from Ning An and send them to Cao State." Concubine Li looked at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun immediately agreed. "I still have a batch of seeds from last year on my farm, about 20 dan. Do you think it's enough?"

Concubine Li smiled. "That's enough. Please write me a plan for planting. I'll have someone take it to Cao State. Oh, I just remembered that the journey to Cao State is quite far. Does Ning An know of a reliable escort agency?"

Lu Yun: "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go back and ask around. I'll send you the planting method and any information I've learned in three days at the latest."

"Oh, there's one more thing." Concubine Li walked them to the door. "Your third brother came to the palace a few days ago to announce the good news that his wife Su and his new wife Liu are both pregnant. Roujia, remember to go there."

Roujia agreed obediently. After parting with Roujia at the palace gate, Lu Yun went to the Lu Mansion.

Zhang looked nervous. "This is your brother's first time playing. Your father said he's up to the task, but I'm still nervous."
