Tianhuang nobleman

In the prince's mansion, there is a post at five steps, and a pavilion at ten steps. The gate of the main courtyard and the gates of the east and west corners are guarded by elite soldiers. The whole mansion is surrounded by water, and Qi Xiao is not allowed to go out without summons. .

Under the gate of Waiyi, Princess Dunsu helped her mother-in-law out of the carriage, looked coldly at the layers of guards in front of her, and said coldly: "I don't know what big mistake I made recently to anger the emperor. I have no choice but to let you guard and stop me wherever I go, dare the emperor despise me and deliberately embarrass me?"

The commander of the guards complained endlessly. If he dared to block the emperor like this, there was only this eldest princess in the world. Because he stopped the eldest princess Dunsu at the side door of the Qianqing Palace last time, the emperor wanted to save the face of the eldest princess Dunsu. When appeasing Princess Dunsu, he scolded him head and face. He knew that the emperor deliberately used him as a raft to show Princess Dunsu, so he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, after half a month, he met him again. This issue.

The commander of the guard stepped forward to salute, squeezed out a smile and said, "Her Royal Highness, calm down. The subordinates are only following orders. The emperor said it himself. Without the emperor's order, no one is allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion. This is not for Her Royal Highness, others Come on, it's the same, if it wasn't for you, Your Highness, we wouldn't dare let in the gate, and if you can enter the outer gate, it's already a violation of the law for your subordinates."

Princess Dunsu sneered: "So I have to thank you? Hmph, you don't need to say these nice things to fool me! Don't worry, I'm not a dark village in the south of the Five Ridges, nor a spy from Xiyi! I'm just Come and see if my nephew, who didn't obey the law, felt ashamed and committed suicide in fear of crime!"

The commander of the guards kept complaining, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Highness, please calm down. Although the emperor put the crown prince under house arrest, he did so to protect the crown prince. Now that no fly can fly into this mansion, His Royal Highness must not be able to get out of it even if it is half-broken." .”

Princess Dunsu looked at the commander of the guards and said coldly: "Are you really not letting me in?"

The commander of the guards did not dare to answer, and Princess Dunsu sneered again and again: "Okay, I knew that now I am hated by people, the emperor is annoyed by me, and I won't let me go anywhere, and the prince is also tired of it." I, don’t listen to my teaching, deliberately pierced the sky and caused this terrible disaster, so that I can hide and never see Bengong again, good! Bengong understands himself!”

The commander of the guards was overwhelmed, and smiled again and again: "What is your Highness talking about, who knows..."

"Don't say such nonsense!" Princess Dunsu turned her head to look at the female officer following her, and said loudly, "Bring the things!"

A female officer following behind brought up a brocade box. Princess Dunsu opened the box, and saw a layer of bright yellow silk and satin inside, and a scarlet whip lying on the satin. Princess Dunsu touched the box. Whip, shook his head and said slowly: "This is the family law that I personally invited my ancestors to the Taimiao this morning. The emperor is merciful, but I just put that evil person under house arrest, but I can't just sit idly by and let this evil person do whatever he wants!"

Princess Dunsu turned her head to look at the commander of the guards, and said in a deep voice: "This is my Qi family's business, and it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Commander... This is the family law of the ancestors, you want to stop it?"

The commander of the guards was unable to say a word when Princess Dunsu blocked him, and he said dumbly: "Subordinate, subordinate...of course I don't dare, but... dare to ask Your Highness, this... Does the Emperor know about this?"

Princess Dunsu led all the female officials into the outer gate, walked up the stone steps, turned around, and said condescendingly: "I don't know, so I have to trouble the Commander, and report to the emperor immediately, and tell him that the crown prince is here this time. Cutting first and playing later, making a big mistake and provoking the emperor's anger is really disloyal and unfilial. I will kill him today! Tell the emperor not to worry about it! Anyway, the emperor is not the only prince who will succeed in the future Yes, there are many!"

After saying that, Princess Dunsu turned around and left. The commander of the guards was terrified, and hurriedly sent people into the palace.

In the inner study room, Qi Xiao heard that there was a commotion outside, so he quickly put down his books and came out. As soon as he left the inner courtyard, he saw Princess Dunsu and her party. Qi Xiao smiled: "Why is aunt here?"

Princess Dunsu sneered again and again: "Okay, what a crown prince! What a heroic general! You have grown up now, who do you think you are? Wen Yu's affair with the king of Xiyi, what a big deal it is ! You borrowed your guts from the heavens to make your own decision!"

Qi Xiao frowned slightly, and then smiled relievedly: "The general is out, and the military order is not acceptable."

Princess Dunsu was furious: "Okay! Well said! This palace is waiting for your words! Come here! Take off his golden crown of Kowloon for this palace, and take off his dragon robe! This palace today I have to disobey the military order once, and after I beat this karma to death, I will go to the Taimiao to plead guilty to the ancestors!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Princess Dunsu stopped drinking: "Are you stupid? You don't listen to what I say?!"

The crowd had no choice but to step forward and take off Qi Xiao's robes, Qi Xiao let the crowd move, and after a while, people took off their clothes, leaving only a pair of black Japanese satin pants, everyone, look at Princess Dunsu, Dunsu Princess Suzhang sternly said: "What are you waiting for?! Bind his hands! Hang him on this tree! Give it to me!"

The crowd had no choice but to do as ordered. Jiang Deqing originally cooked tea himself and sent it to Princess Dunsu. He rushed to the inner courtyard to see the situation and suddenly dropped the teacup. He staggered and knelt down and begged: "Princess Calm down! The prince is still young and easily confused, the princess is an elder, just teach him, why do you use family law?!"

Princess Dunsu waved her hand: "He is young?! He is already twenty this year! Why does he not understand? He knows everything, but he made such a big mistake on purpose. Isn't it intentional?! What about him? You can see that he has half a heart of regret? Today, I will teach him a lesson, let him understand how high the sky is and how thick the land is!"

Jiang Deqing burst into tears, kowtowed, and begged: "Princess! This old slave has served the prince for 20 years! What is wrong with the prince is because the old slave can't serve him. Now the princess insists on beating him, why don't you correct him?" Beating the old slave! It's all the old slave's fault, it's all because the old slave didn't serve the prince well..."

Princess Dunsu stiffened her neck and said: "If the master makes a mistake, the servant will be punished. This is the rule in the palace, but in this palace, if you make a mistake, you have to be whipped yourself, so that he can be taught a lesson! Father-in-law, don't overstep, Not everyone can accept this ancestor's family law!"

Jiang Deqing kowtowed again and again: "This old slave knows, this old slave knows, the princess doesn't look at the friendship that this old slave has worked so hard to serve for these 20 years, but only sees, only sees..." There was no outsider in the yard, and Jiang Deqing no longer shy away from it, Choking with sobs, he said, "Just look at the faces of his father and queen who passed away early! Please spare the prince this time!"

As soon as Princess Dunsu said this, she burst into tears. Looking at Qi Xiao again, Qi Xiao's eyes were red, and Princess Dunsu turned his head. Seeing that Princess Dunsu's heart softened, Jiang Deqing cried, "Princess... ...How many years have passed, others have forgotten those two, and the princess can't forget too?! The princess is so cruel, how can she do it?"

Princess Dunsu tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart, and choked up for a while and said: "I have not forgotten! I remember... Empress Xiaoxian walked forward and held my hand... let me treat Xiao'er as my own." Child, she said... don't ask him to become a prosperous and wise king like his father, don't ask him to conquer the world like his father, defend the land and open up borders, just ask him to be safe and happy..."

"Empress Xiaoxian's words are still in my ears. If there is anything missing, where can I live?!" Princess Dunsu turned her head to look at Jiang Deqing, and hissed: "But look at him! My god! Poor, he cheated to poke it! Now he is so heartless, how can I not punish him?! Needless to say, even if the emperor came today, I would not listen!"

Princess Dunsu became ruthless, and sternly said to the servant who was holding the whip: "What are you waiting for? Give me a whip!"

The servant had no choice but to move, and with a raised hand, there was a "pop", and a bright red mark instantly appeared on Qi Xiao's thin and firm chest!

Jiang Deqing jumped up like an old hen whose cubs had been caught by an eagle, and jumped on Qi Xiao to shield him. Jiang Deqing begged for mercy repeatedly, and cried loudly: "The life of an old slave is cheap! The princess still fights!" Old slave!"

Qi Xiao's eyes were red, he lowered his head and comforted softly: "Elder-in-law, get out of the way, I don't hurt..."

Jiang Deqing shook his head, turned his head and knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, please forgive the prince...you see him as normal, who knows the pain in his heart? The princess doesn't know, since the prince came back, he hasn't been in the bedroom. , only stayed in the inner study room, couldn't sleep all night, just lost in thought, others don't understand, but this old servant understands! Things are different... The crown prince is suffering in his heart, he is not willing to let the prince go... ..."

Qi Xiao took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Elder-in-law is getting old, and I can't bear the great joy and sorrow. Someone... Take Eunuch back to his room." The servants dared not refuse, and hurriedly dragged Jiang Deqing down who was begging for forgiveness. up.

Princess Dunsu wiped away her tears, and said ruthlessly, "Go ahead and beat me! Beat me hard!"
