When Shangguan Yu ordered people to examine the injuries, he had already ordered people to surround Princess Ruyi.
Bai Xue was able to escape on that side, but the northern land was the territory of the Han Palace, and they had no way to ask for help.
And the moment Bai Xue saw Shangguan Yu, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to let Shangguan Yu see her, for fear of being recognized by Shangguan Yu.
In fact, Bai Xue was really worrying too much. Shangguan Yu didn't remember her as a little person at all. After all, he had only met her a few times and had no impression of her. At most, she felt a little familiar.
"Hui Shizi, a total of twenty-three people were injured." The guard reported back.
With this number, there were still people who left in a hurry after being hit by Princess Ruyi's whip, otherwise it would definitely be more than this number.
But Princess Ruyi was still trembling with fear.
Although she had never been beaten, Princess Ruyi could guess that the whip would feel unpleasant, otherwise she would not like to whip people.
"Execution." Shangguan Yu ordered in the tone of a military order.
As Shangguan Yu's personal guard, he naturally only obeyed Shangguan Yu's instructions and was not afraid of Princess Ruyi's identity.
Seeing someone approaching her, Princess Ruyi stepped back unconsciously, and shouted with a pale face: "Shangguan Yu, you can't do this to me! I am the princess, I am of royal blood, and I am more noble than you, a prince with a different surname.
A lot. If you dare to hit me in public, I will definitely report it to the emperor’s cousin and let him punish you for contempt of the royal family!"
In desperation, Princess Ruyi did not care about pleasing Shangguan Yu, she only thought about protecting herself.
Shangguan Yu smiled contemptuously and ordered in a cold voice: "Whoever comes, pull off the cloth. After the execution, send Princess Ruyi and her people away from the North. From now on, the North will not welcome Ruyi who wantonly rapes the people of the North."
The princess arrives and someone discovers that Princess Ruyi sneaked into the Northland without permission. Anyone who complains will be rewarded heavily!"
Shangguan Yu's words immediately won applause from the people.
Regardless of whether this sentence is effective or not, the people are willing to see Princess Ruyi being beaten at this moment.
The royal princess was just a princess with no future, and the people did not believe that their prince would be punished for this.
Besides, Princess Ruyi was making a fuss at the wrong time. The King of Han had just passed away and the royal family was still in the stage of appeasing the King of Han. How could he punish Shangguan Yu because of her?
"Ah! Help! Father, save me! Mother, help me! Ah..." Princess Ruyi tried to escape, but failed. After all, she did not escape the fate of being whipped.
Princess Ruyi was too confident. This time when she came to the North to find Shangguan Yu, she did not bring the Black Dragon Guard with her. Otherwise, she would not be in the current situation where she had no way to ask for help.
Bai Ling, who was far away in Nanshan Village, didn't know what was happening in Zixiao City.
It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month again. This is the last time to watch the lanterns with the family before getting married, so the Bai family came to the county town early.
The Bai family and the Liu family have always spent major festivals together. This makes it more lively, so naturally they come together.
"There are more lanterns in Fucheng, which is more lively than in the county. If we weren't afraid that it would take too much time to go back and forth and miss your wedding day, we should go to Fucheng." Bai Liu said to Bai Ling.
Today the twins stayed in the house, leaving two nuns and a few safe girls to watch.
At this moment, Bai Ling and Bai Xing held Bai Liu's arms one by one, and the three mothers whispered from time to time.
"Mom likes to look at lanterns. I will take you to Zixiao City next year to see them. The lanterns at the border are not only the style of our Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the styles of other countries and tribes. They are more beautiful and have more programs." Bai Ling
Invite with a smile.
But as soon as Bai Ling finished speaking, Bai Xing burst into laughter.
"Second sister hasn't gotten married yet, so she made the decision on her own, without asking my future second brother-in-law whether he agrees or not. Besides, next year will be the first time that second sister will celebrate the New Year at her husband's house after getting married, even if she doesn't have to accompany her in the capital.
, I have to live a two-person world with my second brother-in-law, how can I think of us." Bai Xing said sharply.
"You stinky girl, do you want a beating?" Bai Ling was a little embarrassed by what she said, but she didn't think much of it.
But according to the rules of this era, especially when the King of Han did not know when he would be able to return to Beijing, Bai Ling should accompany Princess Han during the festival.
As Bai Xing said, even if Bai Ling does not accompany Princess Han, in the first year of marriage, she should accompany her husband, not her natal family.
"Xing'er said it politely. It's true that you girl is smart, but sometimes you do things just for the moment and don't think much about it. When you get married, you can't do this again. Your mother-in-law seems to be a good talker.
, but she is a princess after all, so you have to abide by the rules after you get married."
Speaking of rules, Mrs. Bai Liu couldn't help but have a headache.
"Mom doesn't ask anything else from you. After you get married, you should pay more attention to your husband's family. You don't need to worry about your mother's family's affairs. Our family is not a wealthy family. As for the little things at home, my parents can still take care of them."
If it's not good, I'll ask you for help.
Even if you live with your uncle in Zixiao City after you get married, don't always come back to your parents' home. If your parents miss you, they can go and see you. At worst, you can buy a house there and wait until you are pregnant and have a baby.
There is also a place for parents and children to stay there, so it is convenient for everyone."
Bai Liu's forward thinking surprised Bai Ling, but it was more of a surprise.
It's not that Bai Ling minded her mother's family living in her own home, but she was worried that they wouldn't get used to it.
After all, the royal palace has its own rules. Even if it is the general's palace in Zixiao City, the rules will not be too small.
"Mom, if your idea is applied to my brothers in the future, my sisters-in-law will definitely respect you as a mother-in-law." Bai Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Although ancient houses were divided into several rooms, it was not necessary to spend a long time together on weekdays.
But after all, we live in a courtyard, and sometimes we feel restricted.
Moreover, the daughters-in-law have to be careful every day in the morning and dusk. I believe no daughter-in-law will like it.
Living in a place rather than a house, walking around occasionally, or visiting every day, actually feels like relatives coming from afar.
"How can I think so much? This is what your father told me. I don't know what your father thinks. He goes all the way to see his children, but he has to buy a yard and we don't necessarily see him every day.
Then what else are you going to do?”
Bai Liu was very honest and glared at Bai Sanshu after speaking.
But then Bai Liu smiled and said to Bai Ling: "As time went by, I understood what your father meant. This young man doesn't want to be controlled after getting married. With elders around, he will be restrained most of the time. From now on.
When my parents get old, they will live in houses in various places for a while. Look at you juniors, you are all so happy, it is better than anything else."
The family strolled around the lantern festival, chatting and laughing, occasionally stopping to buy some gadgets, or sitting at a stall to eat snacks, and it was a harmonious atmosphere.
"Second sister, I want to go there and have a look. It seems to be very lively." Bai Xing just took a few mouthfuls of wontons, her face was pink and hot, and she pointed to the stall not far away.
"Let the girl follow you and come back in a while. Mom also wants to go to a show." Bai Ling lowered his voice and said.
"Okay." Bai Xing nodded and pulled the catkins together.
The yard built by the Liu family at that time was not large, but fortunately there was a lot of open space in front of and behind the house. Bai Sanshu and the village chief specially bought several acres of surrounding land, leaving it for the Liu family to expand their house. (To be continued)
