Chapter 20: A woman who even dares to beat the prime minister
"Huh?"
Hearing someone calling him, Cheng Yaojin turned his head suspiciously and saw Li Chengqian squatting under the pillar.
"Your Highness, what are you..."
"Come on, come on."
Li Chengqian waved to Cheng Yaojin while looking in the direction of Li Shimin.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Cheng Yaojin leaned back and rolled to the vicinity of Li Chengqian.
The two of them were squatting in the corner as if they were thieves.
Li Chengqian pointed to the table and asked, "Uncle Cheng, is this dish delicious?"
“Of course it’s delicious.”
The fried mutton with green onions still leaves an aftertaste in my mouth.
It's a pity that each table only provides one plate. How can this be enough for him to eat?
Hearing Li Chengqian's words at this time, Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and said, "Does His Highness also want to invite Lao Cheng to your house for dinner?"
"Which one of us is following which one?"
"Don't say I'll treat you to a meal, I'll give you a cook."
"Are you serious? You didn't fool me?"
"Do you think I am you who like to fool people so much?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "But, I have to ask Uncle Cheng for a favor."
Cheng Yaojin frowned: "What do you want me to do for you, Your Highness?"
"Come here with your ears..."
Listening to Li Chengqian's narration, the expression on Cheng Yaojin's face was very wonderful.
Cheng Yaojin gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up: "As expected of His Highness, I really have you."
"That is."
Li Chengqian smiled evilly and said, "It will all depend on Uncle Cheng later."
"Leave it to Lao Cheng."
"But please don't forget about the cook, Your Highness."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
After saying that, Li Chengqian followed the corner and returned to his seat.
Although their strange behavior could be hidden from all the ministers in the room, it could not be hidden from Li Shimin's eyes.
Li Shimin was wondering, what were these two living treasures discussing?
It looked like they were having a good time discussing it.
However, Li Shimin did not ask questions on the spot, but patiently looked at What can these two living treasures do?
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was already walking towards Fang Xuanling with a wine glass in hand.
I don’t know what Cheng Yaojin said, and Fang Xuanling didn’t know that she drank too much and was so angry that she blushed and shouted: “You are henpecked, your whole family is henpecked!”
The topic of being henpecked or not is something that has been lingering on the minds of men since ancient times.
Especially in ancient times, male chauvinism was rampant and they believed that being henpecked was a very shameful thing.
Fang Xuanling is notoriously henpecked.
Everyone laughed when they saw Fang Xuanling's appearance.
Some people couldn't help but say: "If you say that others are not afraid of guilt, I will believe it, but if you, Fang Xuanling, are not afraid, who will believe it?"
"that is."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall burst into laughter.
"My roommate sits upright, how can he be henpecked?"
Fang Xuanling got drunk and started to brag about how he was not afraid of his wife.
It was a big deal that Li Shimin heard this.
Li Shimin is a typical person who protects his calf.
Hearing this, he was already a little drunk. With a wave of his hand, he rewarded the beautiful maid serving Fang Xuanling to him.
Fang Xuanling was stunned and looked at Li Shimin with an expression of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is not good..."
"Why is it bad?"
Li Shimin frowned: "Could it be that Fang Aiqing is in trouble?"
How dare Fang Xuanling say that she has a tigress in front of everyone just now?
Li Shimin just thought he was embarrassed and said: "Since there is no difficulty, the other one will also reward you."
"ah?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.
The surrounding ministers were laughing.
After the banquet, Fang Xuanling looked at the two girls on the left and right with sad faces, not knowing what to do.
Yuchi Jingde happened to come out and saw that he was embarrassed.
Then he said: "It's okay, no matter how fierce your wife is, how dare she touch the beautiful maid given by the emperor?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling felt confident, so she said forcefully: "What else could she do?"
After saying that, Fang Xuanling left directly with the two maids.
Only a confused Yuchi Jingde was left.
Cheng Yaojin walked out with Changsun Wuji: "Changsun, do you think the roof of his old house can be saved today?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and smiled, saying: "Given Mrs. Fang's personality, she probably can't keep it."
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that we have to get along well with His Highness in the future."
Changsun Wuji was so smart. Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Did His Highness do this?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Changsun Wuji as if he were a fool.
Then he left directly, leaving behind a message: "I have to say, your nephew is just like you."
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
What kind words can he say in Cheng Yaojin's mouth?
What can Li Chengqian be like himself?
In other words, it's a shame.
That night, it was as if nothing happened in the entire city of Chang'an.
But there was a big quarrel in the family of a certain minister named Fang.
Fang Xuanling carefully led the two beautiful maids home. Before he could say anything, his wife, Mrs. Lu, slapped her in the face and scolded her.
"Well, you are named Fang. I have served you with all my heart for nearly twenty years. How dare you bring a child home?"
"I'm really blind to marry someone like you."
"Get out of here quickly and take your beautiful maid out."
Fang Xuanling was scolded for having no temper, so she timidly replied: "This, this is a reward from the emperor."
"emperor?"
"You still dare to use the emperor to suppress me?"
It would have been better not to say this. As soon as he said this, Mrs. Lu directly picked up the feather duster and rushed towards the two beautiful maids. > The two girls were the most aggrieved. Seeing Lu's overwhelming momentum, they only dared to hide behind Fang Xuanling.
Seeing the pitiful looks of the two girls, I don't know if it's the man's possessiveness that's at work, or if he thinks it's a reward from the emperor that he can't beat.
Fang Xuanling shouted directly: "Shrew, you've had enough."
"What did you call me?"
"Shrew?"
Mrs. Lu pointed at her nose: "Fang Xuanling, you actually called me a shrew, I will fight you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the feather duster fell directly on Master Fang's head.
Lu was so fierce that after being beaten with a feather duster, Fang Xuanling ran around the yard, and the surrounding servants only dared to watch and did not dare to stop her.
In the end, Fang Xuanling could only send the two maids out of the house to avoid being blamed by the emperor.
When Li Chengqian heard the news from the people below, he was so full of laughter that he rolled around on the bed.
"Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, are you today too?"
"I want you to watch me being beaten without saying anything, and I will also let you experience what it feels like to be beaten."
Seeing the eccentric look of his little master, Qing Ci Qing He looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian was the only one who dared to secretly plot against the ministers in power.
In the morning of the next day, Fang Xuanling came to court with panda eyes.
But this panda's eyes were not sleepy, but were beaten by Lu.
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Master Fang, what's wrong with your eyes?"
It wasn't you who did it?
Fang Xuanling felt bitter in his heart, but he could not tell the truth.
"Back to Your Majesty, I accidentally bumped into him when I was out."
Seeing his appearance, the ministers around him wanted to laugh but didn't dare. They were so suppressed that their faces all turned green.
Cheng Yaojin was the most eclectic and said directly: "Your Majesty, you don't know yet. Yesterday you rewarded Mr. Fang with two beautiful maids, but he was beaten up by Mrs. Fang in the evening. That's why you look like this today."
."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked: "What? This shrew dares to beat even my prime minister?"
