Chapter 480: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (Seventeen)
Zheng Nian'er raised her head and looked at the person coming——
The speaker was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with average appearance, but her eyebrows were very bright and flamboyant.
This is a girl who grew up pampered!
She still had a somewhat childish face, full of arrogance and willfulness.
The look he looked at Zheng Nian'er was very complicated, with contempt, jealousy, disdain, and deep malice.
"The person coming is not good!" Zheng Nian'er's heart rang with alarm bells.
She vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor - the future queen, Tao Youwei, the daughter of Tao Yong, Duke of Dingguo.
"I am Zheng Nian'er, I don't know-"
Zheng Nian'er had some guesses in her mind, but she still asked pretending to be confused.
However, before Zheng Nian'er could finish her inquiry, the face of the beautiful woman in front of her changed.
"Okay, it's really you shameless fox!"
"As expected of a bastard, born of a bastard maid, despicable and shameless!"
"The old one seduces other people's sons, the younger ones flatter and seduce!"
"You bitch, you have done so many shameless things, and you still have the nerve to show your face?"
The woman in the crimson dress was cursing ungratefully, and as she spoke, she even brought Mrs. Hu in.
Zheng Nian'er's face became ugly. She would scold others and "greet her parents" all the time. What's going on?
Zheng Nian'er is a self-respecting and independent woman. She has never thought of seducing a man, let alone that man is destined to be the emperor of public plugs.
If Zheng Nian'er hadn't been forced to be bound to a gangster system, Zheng Nian'er would have drawn a clear line with the emperor long ago. How could he tolerate him coming to Zhuangzi to have sex with her when he already had a fiancée?!
Even though she was coerced by the system, Zheng Nian'er was not tempted by the emperor, nor did she think about competing with Tao Youwei.
To put it another way, even if Zheng Nian'er had an affair with the emperor, in this matter between a man and a woman, the woman would be the only one who was at fault?
Aren’t men’s faults greater?
No one is forcing Emperor Yongcheng with a knife. If he doesn't want to, will he come to visit Zheng Nian'er again and again?
At most, Zheng Nian'er didn't refuse. Could it be that her sin was greater than that of Emperor Yongcheng?!
Tao Youwei did not go to find the scumbag to settle the score, but came to her to humiliate her, because she just felt that she was easy to bully.
Tao Youwei treats Zheng Nian'er as a soft persimmon!
When Zheng Nian'er thought of this, a surge of anger suddenly rose in her chest.
However, something that makes Zheng Nian'er even more shocked and angry is yet to come——
Tao Yong was a great general. He built a palace and had many tiger generals and powerful soldiers under his command.
Tao Yong doted on Tao Youwei very much. When discussing military affairs with the generals or going to the training field for training, he would hold his precious daughter in his arms.
It can be said that Tao Youwei grew up in a military camp.
She could hear how a group of soldiers were fighting and yelling.
Therefore, even though her mother is a daughter of a noble family, she can still pretend to be a lady.
But once she is angered, she can curse more harshly and viciously than a street shrew.
She is even more proficient in "Zuan culture". If she wants to insult someone, she can immediately do it for three days and three nights.
In addition to scolding people, Tao Youwei is also proficient in the "essence" of military commanders - conquering people with force!
It’s not enough to win by scolding!
You have to beat people until they kneel down and beg for mercy, then this is considered complete.
So, after scolding the person, Tao Youwei felt that it was not enough to relieve her anger, so she directly pulled it on her waist and shook out a silver soft whip.
She turned her wrist flexibly, and the soft whip made of unknown material fluttered in the air, making a crisp sound.
"not good!"
Zheng Nian'er felt the danger coming, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.
But Tao Youwei is a tough girl, and a soft whip has already made her perfect.
Her movements are far faster than Zheng Nian'er's reaction!
Snapped!
The crack of a whip.
"ah!"
Zheng Nian'er instinctively let out a scream.
In fact, this is already a blessing among misfortunes.
If the "Gongdou System" hadn't taken emergency action, it wasn't her arm that was hit by the soft whip, but her pretty little face.
"What a cheap servant, how dare you hide?"
Tao Youwei couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that she didn't have the face that made her hate her.
She originally just wanted to be whipped. She was indeed arrogant, but she was not without brains——
The Hu family and the Zheng family are indeed humble, but after all, there is Emperor Yongcheng standing behind them.
And Tao Youwei will soon be the queen.
If possible, Tao Youwei did not want to have any disagreement with her husband because of a few humble slaves.
Originally, her plan was to whip Zheng Nian'er, preferably to disfigure him directly.
In this way, even if you anger Emperor Yongcheng, you can always win the emperor's forgiveness as long as some time passes.
As for Zheng Nian'er, she had become an ugly girl. No matter how much the emperor missed his old love, he could not continue to love her.
Tao Youwei is trying her best to have conflicts with her husband for a while, but she also wants to avoid future troubles forever.
but now--
She took out the whip and beat people in public. There was no need for anyone to deliberately report it, the emperor would know about it soon.
It was certain that the emperor would be angry, but Tao Youwei's purpose was not achieved!
Biting her lower lip hard, Tao Youwei simply kept doing it.
She continued to swing the soft whip, specifically targeting Zheng Nian'er's head.
Zheng Nian'er held her head in confusion with both hands and tried her best to dodge.
In the process of dodging, she stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
She rolled over on the ground with difficulty and pain, while Tao Youwei stood there noblely, like a noble mistress teaching the meanest concubine in the family, and continued to whip her with the whip.
Although the surrounding female relatives were shocked by Tao Youwei's unruly and cruel behavior, none of them stepped forward to stop her.
No one helped Zheng Nian'er!
They... I guess there are still many people secretly applauding in their hearts.
Also, these noble female relatives originally looked down on the Hu family and the entire Zheng family.
But for the sake of the emperor, he had to be insincere and submissive to the mother and daughter. He must have felt very aggrieved.
Now, they finally saw Zheng Nian'er being whipped. They didn't applaud on the spot, which was considered to be a sign of restraint.
In Zheng Nian'er's two lifetimes, this was the first time he was in such a miserable state!
Especially in her previous life, she might not have been a rich second generation or a powerful second generation.
But she is lucky to live in an era of rule of law and peace.
Even if she is an ordinary person, she will not be humiliated by powerful people in the street!
But now, she, she is obviously the daughter of the uncle's house, how come she ends up being whipped?!
There were so many people around, so many pairs of eyes, not a single pair of sympathy, and no one felt that power was shameful. They all chose to ignore it.
They may still be gloating in their hearts!
It has been some time since Zheng Nian'er traveled to Dayuan Dynasty. For the first time, she felt personally the strict hierarchy of the feudal dynasty, and also experienced the benefits of "privilege"!
In the past, she thought wrongly, or she was too naive, and she didn't want to be a man's accessory.
She actually wants to rely on knowledge that transcends this time and space to become a strong woman who amazes this time and space on her own!
How funny?!
This is a feudal dynasty with supreme privileges.
Even if she came up with something new, before she could exchange it for the wealth she wanted, it would be taken away by someone with power.
It would be considered lucky to be able to spare her life. If one fails, she might even be involved!
I want to have power, I want to be a master.
I, I never want to let myself be whipped like a beast again in public!
The pain caused by the soft whip falling on her body was far less than her heartache.
Zheng Nian'er gritted her teeth and refused to make any sound.
Even if it hurts her to death, she won't let those female relatives see the joke!
However, Tao Youwei's whipping did not last long.
The movement here still alarmed the mistress of the host family and all the elders.
They came one after another, and Hu was among them.
"Nian'er! My Nian'er!"
Mrs. Hu rushed forward and saw Tao Youwei beating her daughter to the ground as if punishing a slave, her eyes were red.
She is indeed a slave, but a slave of the royal family.
It has been more than ten years, and Mrs. Hu is used to being praised and respected by others. She has long forgotten that before she was chosen by Mr. He to be the wet nurse of the prince, she also knelt humbly at the feet of nobles.
As for being whipped, it's not like she hasn't been whipped before.
Being punished by kneeling down and starving were commonplace.
After more than ten years of living a good life, Mr. Hu forgot about the past and really considered himself a rich man.
The scene before her eyes completely awakened Hu's memory.
Many years ago, when she was just a teenage girl, she was also punished like this by her master and the lady in charge!
However, Mrs. Hu was the emperor's wet nurse after all, and her character had already become strong.
The trance only lasted for a moment, and she quickly came back to her senses.
She seemed to have accidentally knocked Tao Youwei away and threw herself on Zheng Nian'er.
"Nian'er, my Nian'er, you, what's wrong with you?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My poor Nian'er, I haven't even touched you with a finger since you were a child. How did you endure such severe torture?"
Even though she was crying and howling, Hu did not forget to perform.
Her face was covered with tears, but there was a fierce and calculating look in her eyes.
"Back in the palace, the Queen Mother was such a well-behaved person. If you were naughty and got into trouble, the Queen Mother would only give you a few admonitions, but never any beatings or insults!"
"Nian'er, tell me, what on earth did you do to make the future queen so angry?"
She deliberately mentioned Empress Dowager He in front of everyone, and specifically named "Future Queen Empress", just to sow discord between Empress Dowager He and Empress Tao.
And she also wanted to let everyone know that Mr. Tao was too domineering.
She is not even a queen, yet she dares to act so wantonly.
When she really takes over the palace, she may become arrogant and overbearing.
If you dare to flog the daughter of the uncle's house for no reason today, tomorrow you can humiliate the prince's female family at will!
She wanted to arouse public outrage from those around her and then put pressure on the Tao family.
However, Hu's plan was destined to fail.
The female relatives present were surprised by Tao Youwei's willfulness and cruelty.
But they have no sympathy for Hu's mother and daughter - who are you kidding? They are not from the same circle, how could they stand in the same camp as the humble maid?
Tao Youwei is indeed domineering, but she doesn't just hit people randomly.
Everyone has heard the rumors in Beijing.
If the emperor has not decided on a queen, no one else can care who he is willing to go out of the capital to have a private meeting with.
But the problem is that Emperor Yongcheng has made a marriage contract with Duke Dingguo. Even the Queen Mother has issued an edict, and the three ministers and the political affairs hall all agree.
As long as the Qintian Supervisor chooses a good day and the Ministry of Rites formulates the ceremony for the queenship ceremony, Tao Youwei will become the second queen of the Dayuan Dynasty!
But at this time, Emperor Yongcheng still ran to the Zheng family's Zhuangzi to hook up with the Zheng family's daughter!
Tao Youwei is the apple of Dingguo's palace. The royal family and the Tao family are in a cooperative relationship, not the Tao family.
Any girl in Tao Youwei's position would not tolerate it.
At most, the Tao family's young lady is more, uh, ahem, more straightforward, and she must avenge herself.
When someone meets a fox who seduces her husband, she doesn’t waste her words, but goes straight to the whip!
Although it was a bit reckless, the female relatives felt really happy!
Besides, the people of Dayuan Dynasty are inherently open, and the women have strong personalities.
Not to mention the princess, the noble daughter of the clan, even the ordinary female members of the Wu Xun family dared to take two kitchen knives and kill the bad man's foreign house and cause a scene.
Now, at most, the ordinary female family members have been replaced by the future queen... Well, it's not unacceptable, right?
The emperor was wrong in the first place. Tao, to put it more loftily, was also "advising" the emperor, and she was considered a good wife who "matched her husband".
After all, no matter how reckless Tao was, he only whipped Hu Meizi and was not disrespectful to the emperor, right?
Hu Shibai cried for a while, but it did not arouse the sympathy of the onlookers, not even sympathy.
It was the host who held the wedding banquet, secretly saying "bad luck", but showing concern and guilt on his face.
Actively mobilized the doctors and arranged manpower to escort Hu and her daughter away.
After returning to the uncle's house, before Mrs. Hu could think of a way to send a message to the palace and complain to the emperor, something happened at home again.
"Madam, madam, it's not good, it's not good! Dalang was beaten and was carried back with wounds all over his body!"
A servant hurriedly ran into the main room. Before anyone arrived, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Dalang?
He is the eldest son of the Hu family, named Zheng Chuanjia. He is twenty years old this year. He was arranged by Emperor Yongcheng to join Qianniu Guard as a small military attaché.
On weekdays, because of the emperor's reputation and generous spending, the mediocre Zheng Chuanjia still lived well in Qianniuwei.
He didn't have much power, but he was safe. He even made friends with a few powerful children from declining families.
On the surface, the Zheng family looks a bit like a proud heir apparent.
"Being beaten? Who? Who beat my uncle?"
Mrs. Hu was shocked, angry, and also a little bit uneasy.
It seemed as if something was out of her control.
And the Zheng family seems to be in crisis.
However, when Zheng Chuanjia was carried home covered in blood, that was just the beginning.
Before Mrs. Hu could figure out the reason why her eldest son was injured, another news came from outside——
"No, ma'am! Something happened again! Erlang had a dispute with someone and was captured by an official from Jingzhao Mansion!"
Erlang?
The Hu family's second son was seventeen years old this year. Because his health was not good and he could not work in the guard station, Emperor Yongcheng arranged for him to study in the Imperial College, thinking that he would be given an official position in two years.
This is a relatively weak rookie. He, how could he fight with others and even cause trouble in Jingzhao Mansion?!
