Chapter 131 A loud slap in the face
"What did you say?"

Princess Yunyang stood up suddenly, her red gauze skirt fluttering, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face beneath her cloud-like hair.

Zhao Duan came with a group of eunuchs?
This undoubtedly sends a bad signal.

But she couldn't figure out why for a moment, but the smile that had just risen on the corner of Li Shuping's mouth next to her disappeared instantly.

It's him!

Li Shuping's pupils contracted. At this moment, he recalled the fear he felt when he was threatened by Zhao Duan in Lihua Hall that day.

Although he didn't want to admit it, after that incident, he had developed a fear of the "Little King of Hell" who had become famous recently.

"Why would he bring people to the mansion? Could it be that he dares to break into the Prince Consort's house?" Li Shuping asked subconsciously.

Halfway through his speech, his voice became quieter.

Because he suddenly thought that with Zhao Duan's lawless character, it was hard to say.

After all, he even dared to break into an important place like the Sanfasi last night, and didn't even take a third-rank official seriously.

For a prince consort with no power or influence and only a nominal title, being beaten up at his door didn't seem to be a big deal.

Thinking of this, panic appeared on his face, and he subconsciously looked at the woman beside him:

"Yunyang, that evil star came here, could it be that he knew you..."

He thought that Zhao Duan came to seek revenge.

Princess Yunyang also thought of this, but she felt something was wrong. She frowned and asked the servant:
"You said he led many eunuchs?"

"Yes." The servant nodded, but couldn't explain why.

After all, in the stereotype, it is difficult to associate Zhao Duan, a foreign official, with conveying imperial edicts.

Princess Yunyang frowned and coldly ordered the servants to take away the breakfast, sweep the courtyard, and wait and see what would happen.

He said expressionlessly:
"No need to stop him. If he wants to come in, let him in. I want to see what he wants to do."

At this moment, there was no trace of "dissolute" vulgarity about her, but instead she showed the dignity of a royal noble.

A few moments.

Then he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the mansion gate. Zhao Duan was too lazy to wait for someone to pass the message. After getting off his horse, he led a group of eunuchs behind him and charged into the courtyard in a mighty manner.

The Prince Consort's mansion was quite grand. When he stepped into the spacious courtyard, he was surprised to see that the servants were sweeping the courtyard in an orderly manner.

In the main hall, a couple sat in two high-backed chairs, with landscape paintings hanging behind them.

He caught a glimpse of the consort Li Shuping. The consort, who had been so cowardly just now, was now sitting upright with the demeanor of a master.

Zhao Duan was too lazy to look at him any longer. His gaze moved and fell on the beautiful woman in a red gauze dress next to him. His eyes lit up slightly.

I can't help but envy the prince consort's good fortune... Well, ignoring the number of hats.

"Zhao Jishi is so grand. He came to visit without handing in a visiting card in advance. He really thinks that the capital is the Zhao family's backyard."

In front of outsiders, Li Shuping acted like a master, his tone was slightly angry, and his eyes were looking at the eunuchs inquiringly.

It's hard to tell where it came from.

The couple did not move a muscle, just sat in the main hall, like officials in the government office looking at the mirror.

Zhao Duan's lips curled up, but before he could speak, a eunuch behind him stepped forward, held up the imperial edict with both hands, and said in a stern voice:

"Pass on the Saint's order, Prince Consort Li Shuping, Princess Yunyang, please accept the order!"

Imperial edict?!
When this shout was uttered, not only the servants in the mansion were shocked, but also the eldest princess, who kept silent, with her back straight and looked like a cold and elegant lady, was shocked.

In Zhao Duan’s previous life, it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the custom of kneeling on the ground to receive imperial orders was developed.

The process of issuing imperial edicts is also very cumbersome, but the rules of the Dayu Dynasty are similar to those in film and television dramas.

Princess Yunyang's pretty face changed slightly. She stood up reluctantly, holding up her red skirt, and walked quickly into the courtyard.

He glared at Zhao Duan angrily, but still knelt down and squeezed out a sentence from his silver teeth:
"Yunyang... accept the order."

After she set an example, Li Shuping also knelt down hurriedly, and all the servants in the courtyard knelt down in a hurry, for fear of being charged with "disrespecting imperial power and not respecting rites and laws."

Ha... keep acting so pretentiously, why don't you just come out quietly... Zhao Duan curled his lips.

He lowered his head and looked at the couple kneeling in front of him. He raised his hand to pick up the imperial edict, unfolded it, and said calmly:

"Today, I heard that Princess Yunyang is restless, so I asked the abbess of Jizhao Temple to prepare a meditation room, a green lamp, and a futon. From now on, Princess Yunyang will enter Jizhao Temple to cultivate her body and mind. I decree this."

The content of the imperial edict was brief and casual, and Zhao Duan read it in just one sentence.

However, these light words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Princess Yunyang.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, and her seductive face beneath her jet-black hair turned pale!

Although he was kneeling, he still staggered, looking incredulous.

nunnery!
Her good niece really showed no mercy at all.

The word "punishment" was not mentioned at all in the imperial edict, but who couldn't understand what the empress meant?
"Nunnery...are you going to send Yunyang to a nunnery?"

Prince Consort Li Shuping was also stunned. At this moment, he did not show any joy. His mind buzzed, and anger appeared on his face. He suddenly shouted:

"It was you! What did you say to His Majesty?"

Although he had a low status in the family, Li Shuping understood that if the princess fell, he would not be well off either.

What is the good place of Jizhao Temple?

Even if it is not the cold palace, it is not much different. Zhao Duan looked cold and looked down at him. He rolled up the imperial edict casually and looked at the pale-faced princess sitting on the ground beside him. He smiled:

"Princess, you should take good care of your man and not let him out to bite people."

Li Shuping was extremely angry, but he did not dare to resist.

This made Zhao Duan think of the cat he raised in his hometown in his previous life. The cat barked very loudly when it was tied with a chain by its owner.

But once the chain is loosened and the owner is no longer behind him, the yellow dog will just whimper with its tail between its legs.

"Princess, please stand up and receive the order."

Princess Yunyang calmed down now. She pursed her lips, slowly stood up and took the imperial edict.

She unfolded it and took another look. The ink characters on the cloth were like arrows piercing her again and again.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them:

"Yunyang, obey the order."

A gust of wind blew, and the bright red gauze skirt fluttered. The slit was very low, and the loose-fitting collar swayed like water waves.

Zhao Duan looked closely at this woman who had caused him so much trouble, but whom he had only seen for the first time until this moment. He suddenly smiled and said:
"Princess, will you please give me a drink of water?"

……

……

Inside the mansion.

A room modeled after a Zen room, with a mat on the floor and a complete set of tea sets.

As the door closed, only Zhao Duan and Yun Yang were left in the room.

Outside the door was the prince consort acting as the door god, and further out were the eunuchs waiting patiently in the courtyard.

Zhao Duan sat cross-legged on a cool mat, his eyes passing over the heavy door-like tea tray made of dark purple sandalwood, and the whole set of precious purple clay teapots placed on it.

He raised his hand and picked up the exquisite tea pet that looked like a jade toad, played with it for a while, and said with a smile:

"It is indeed an item from the Princess's house. It is many times better than what Zhao uses to entertain guests at home."

Opposite him, sitting on the ground, two white legs that were longer than Zhao Duan's life were bent. Even in this situation, Yunyang, who did not lose her elegance, sat there expressionlessly.

The upper body, which had been strictly trained by the court etiquette officers, was straight and the long neck was held high and proud.

She glanced coldly at his hand and said with disgust:
"Envoy Zhao has come to ask for money from me. If you like it, take it away, so that I won't have to break it and throw it away later."

Zhao Duan pretended to be surprised: "Why did you throw it away?"

Princess Yunyang stared at him and said, "I think it's dirty."

Zhao Duan couldn't help laughing and said, "So the princess also knows how to dislike dirt. In my opinion, this tea pet is much cleaner than a human."

The aunt of the current empress, the sister of the old emperor, ignored his ridicule and said coldly:
"What do you want to say? Are you here to sit down with me alone just to talk nonsense or enjoy the glory of the victor?
You beat my son and my husband.

I heard that He Zheng, who only slightly offended you, was also injured by you, and Xia Jianghou was thrown into the imperial prison, and his head will be in danger soon...

Now, I am also being confined to a nunnery, and I don’t know when I can be released. You should be very proud of yourself.”

After a pause, she said:
"Or are you still not satisfied?"

Zhao Duan gently put down the tea pet and said with a smile:

"As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, but I am not a petty person. It's just that although I have beaten up all the men around you, I am still a little angry, so I want to collect some interest from the princess.

After all... tomorrow, when the princess enters the nunnery, it will be difficult for me to find you."

Interest?

Princess Yunyang was stunned for a moment, then looked at him intently, as if she understood something. There was a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes. She suddenly smiled, and there was some indescribable meaning in her eyes.

I thought to myself: Haha, all men in the world are black.

Without any warning, she stretched her waist, raised her hand to pull a pillow from the ground, tucked it behind her waist, and lay back.

She stretched out her two python-like legs and changed to a more convenient sitting position. She bit her red lips, smiled coquettishly, bit her pearly teeth, and hooked her finger at Zhao Duan, looking very charming:
"If you have the guts, come on. Li Lang has offended you. Do you want his mother to personally apologize?"

She was clearly smiling, her posture was seductive, but her eyes were cold and indifferent.

This made Zhao Duan inexplicably think of a sentence: half is volcano, half is sea water.

Then he smiled, stood up, walked around the tea table, came to Princess Yunyang, and slowly squatted down.

He pinched her pointed chin with his pliers-like hands and looked into her eyes with smiles.

Princess Yunyang closed her eyes.

"Snapped!"

A very crisp sound.

Princess Yunyang opened her eyes in shock, feeling the burning pain on her face. She covered her red cheek with her hands in disbelief.

Zhao Duan took his hand back and whispered in her ear:

"For your majesty's sake, I will only slap you once this time. If you provoke me again next time, I will spank you."

After saying that, Zhao Duan stood up and walked out laughing.

Only Princess Yunyang was left sitting on the ground, covering her cheek, silent.
