Chapter 228 The Unweaned Yellow-Haired Girl
Before King Zhenbei went to the fiefdom, he had a mansion in the imperial city, but his mansion was smaller in scale than the princes and dignitaries. It was only a third-rank general's mansion.
A general who was named a vassal king was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict. However, the King of Zhenbei had to return to the capital every year to report on his duties. During the period of reporting on his duties, he lived in his own general's mansion and did not need to find another residence.
This time is no exception.
When the news reached the General's Mansion, King Zhenbei was instantly furious: "If I want to see my son, do I still have to abide by the rules of the eldest princess?"
A little yellow-haired girl dared to put on airs in front of him.
"This..." the guard who reported back hesitated, "That's what the guard commander of the Princess's Mansion said."
"In my opinion, this may not be the intention of the eldest princess at all." Qi Yun said coldly, "Maybe it was the idea of that bitch Qi Ling, relying on the power of the eldest princess to show off her power in front of her father? Look at me Don’t teach him a lesson!”
King Zhenbei was silent for a moment.
He had left the imperial city early and had not met Chu Qinghuang many times. The last time he met, she was still a little girl with a violent temper and no brains. The King of Zhenbei had never had a good impression of her.
Unexpectedly, she was granted the title of eldest princess at the age of fifteen.
Even if the spies reported that she led the imperial army to raid Hong Shangshu's mansion and the Ling family, the King of Zhenbei could not equate these actions with a fifteen-year-old girl, let alone be afraid of them.
After pondering for a moment, he summoned the spies and asked: "How many servants are there in the backyard of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"There used to be four. I just received a new one a few days ago. Now there are five servants."
King Zhenbei frowned: "There are more concubines than I have."
It is simply shocking that a princess can be so absurd and unethical!
The spy didn't dare to speak.
In the days since King Zhenbei returned to Beijing, he specially sent two spies to find out some gossip, including the daily movements of the recently popular eldest princess and several princes, in order to know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can make better decisions at critical moments. response.
Upon hearing the eldest princess's ridiculous behavior, King Zhenbei remained silent for a moment with a sullen face, and then asked: "Who is her favorite person recently?"
"Before the prince came to Beijing, the eldest princess liked Wen Zhan, the concubine of the Wen family, and specially promoted Wen Zhan's father to be the Minister of Household Affairs."
"Absurd!" King Zhenbei yelled angrily.
The spy whispered: "The eldest princess is now an evil spirit that everyone in the civil and military circles is wary of. The prince must not show his dissatisfaction in front of the eldest princess."
He was a master who ransacked his house whenever he disagreed, and every time he ransacked his house, a large amount of gold and silver treasures were confiscated. The evidence was conclusive and left people unable to argue.
All civil and military officials who have a little bit of guilt and lack of confidence will never dare to mess with that evil god at this time.
"Are I still afraid of him?" King Zhenbei said indifferently, "Let me go there in person? How can she, an unweaned girl with yellow hair, have such a big reputation? What a arrogance!"
The spy lowered his head and said nothing.
What he actually wanted to say was that the eldest princess really seemed to have such a great reputation. After all, a few months ago, some of the noble disciples made trouble and offended the eldest princess. Even several princes and princes from the royal family came to apologize in person, but it turned out that it was the princess who was the company commander. Didn't even see his face.
"Qi Yun, go to the eldest princess's mansion." King Zhenbei ordered, "I want to see what she has to offer."
Qi Yun had this intention: "Yes."
King Zhenbei frowned, pondered for a while, and finally decided to be cautious: "You are not allowed to be rude after you go to the eldest princess's mansion. The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers should be observed. Don't let the eldest princess get the advantage."
"Father, don't worry." Qi Yun said, "I know what to do."
He has his own way of dealing with women.
Qi Yun then turned around and walked out, taking only two personal guards with him, one named Zhui Feng and the other named Lightning.
The three of them arrived at the eldest princess's mansion soon, politely explained their purpose of coming, and the housekeeper respectfully welcomed him into the mansion.
"Master Qi, please have tea."
Qi Yun said: "I want to see the eldest princess."
The housekeeper smiled and said: "I have already sent someone to report it. Please wait a moment, Mr. Qi."
"Then you ask Qi Ling to come over to see me first." Qi Yun said calmly, "I am his elder brother."
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty is not allowed to leave the West Courtyard without the permission of the eldest princess. Please forgive me, Mr. Qi."
When Qi Yun heard this, he immediately frowned: "There is no need to use such an excuse to deal with me. I have already heard that Qi Ling often goes to the Xishan Military Camp to train troops and horses for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The housekeeper exclaimed: "Is there such a thing? I'll ask about it later."
Qi Yun's face darkened: "Where is Qi Ling now?"
"I'll go ask Mr. Qi right away." The steward said, turning to the maid and telling the maid, "Enter Mr. Qi well."
"yes."
The butler turned around and walked out, never to come back again.
Qi Yun sat alone in the hall and waited for half an hour. The tea was changed one after another, waiting for him to lose his patience and lose his temper. Then he saw a pretty and calm maid walk in. , Wei Wei blessed his body: "Young Master Qi."
Qi Yun said nothing with a sullen face.
Although his father already had him as his legitimate son when he went to the fiefdom, Qi Yun was still young at that time. Since he can remember, he has been the most noble young master in the Zhenbei King fiefdom. Apart from his father, he has the highest status. , the most powerful.
The children of the Mianbei generation's aristocratic families - including the young city lord in the fiefdom - all looked up to him, and no one dared to ignore him like this.
The eldest princess made him wait for half an hour, which was really good.
Mingyue seemed not to notice Qi Yun's unhappy expression, and said calmly: "My eldest princess is in the flower hall in the west courtyard, and she asked the maid to take Master Qi there."
Qi Yun suppressed his anger and stood up and said: "Let's go."
He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary ability a fifteen-year-old girl had to dare to be so arrogant.
