050 “Female Counterattack (H)” Chapter 49

025 General Bamboo Horse

In the quiet and deep Yangju Hall, in the bronze incense burner engraved with dragon patterns, dragon incense burns with white smoke.

The emperor sat in the dragon chair with his waist slumped down, his unhealthy white right hand supporting his forehead, looking a bit decadent, and after a while he said: “Tell me.”

Only then could he notice that there was a black shadow standing in front of the desk.Yes, even standing in the light of the faint night pearl, it is like a shadow that can fade away at any time.

Shadow spoke without any emotion in his voice: “During this month, Marquis Yongyi and Princess Wanqing have been inseparable day and night, playing and singing wildly, and are very affectionate.”

“Oh? Never left the Marquis Mansion once?” The emperor’s posture did not change.

“I went out once.” Shadow spoke carefully, and continued without waiting for the emperor to inquire, “The Marquis personally drove a carriage and took the princess alone to the other courtyard in the western suburbs.”

“What are you doing in the other courtyard?” The emperor suddenly put down his right hand, his eyes flashed with sternness, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes widened.

Shadow’s posture and tone did not change: “They went to the other yard to ride horses, ride together, and have fun on the horses.”

The emperor stared at the shadow guard for a while, then suddenly laughed and cursed: “This boy really knows how to enjoy it!” The emperor also had some frivolous dreams when he was young. However, since he came to the throne, even if he favored his concubine for too long, he would be reminded by the eunuch. It was obvious that he had emptied Su Liuyun step by step. At this moment, he had some strange and abnormal thoughts, sour and bitter.

Shadow Guard A Li had been loyal when he was still the prince. The emperor said with great interest: “They are really wanton. Tell me where they have been so wanton.”

Ah Li thought for a while and said in a monotonous tone: “The swings and pavilions in the back garden, as well as the broken bridge, study room, and bedroom…”

He had a strong tendency to continue counting, but the emperor couldn’t listen anymore and waved his hand: “That’s all, tell me who has been to the Hou Mansion.”

“General Wei and General Jiang went there once respectively, but the Marquis Mansion was closed behind closed doors. The Left and Right Prime Ministers also came to visit, and they only had a cup of tea with the old Marquis. Mei Niang from Tingxue Pavilion once went to play music, and the chef from Tianxinju was invited to cook a dish for the princess…”

“Come on, there’s no need to report those trivial matters.” This old guy was always a talker. The emperor waved his hand again impatiently. Seeing that A Li did not retreat as usual, he hesitated to speak, “What else is there?”

There was finally a hint of uncertainty in A Li’s voice. He opened his gray lips several times and said, “Princess Jiayi went the most frequently among them. She handed over the greeting card in a polite manner. She handed it to the Marquis three times, but the Marquis never saw her. She handed it to the princess three times, and the princess also said she was sick.”

“Nonsense! Yue’er is just being ridiculous!” The emperor’s voice suddenly rose in pitch. He stood up and started pacing in the air, “If things continue like this, sooner or later, the royal family’s face will be lost to her!”

“After the princess was rejected for the last time, she was very angry. Later, rumors spread in the capital that Yongyi Hou was originally in love with the princess, but was snatched away by Princess Wanqing. Moreover, the princess was a jealous shrew, and threatened that even if the princess married into the prince’s house and grew up, she would not agree.” A Li must have rarely been exposed to these things in his career, and his tone was strange.

The emperor was so angry that his chest was rising and falling, and he bent down to support himself on the desk: “Yue’er must be the one who is causing trouble. I will never let these trivial matters in the boudoir harm the face of the Tian family. You go…you go help me keep an eye on Weiyang.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”
