Chapter 403 If someone scolds me, I will hit them

Seeing Concubine Tao coming, Princess Yan was a little surprised, but she had clashed with Concubine Tao many times before and knew that she was a difficult person, so she had no choice but to avoid her today.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Tao Yanyan spoke first: "Princess Yan came here to buy snacks. The snack shop is doing good business, so it's normal to wait in line for a while. Princess Yan's subordinates have no patience at all. If you don't want to wait, you can go somewhere else to buy. Why scold people?"

Princess Yan sneered, "It's just a small shop. You are a royal concubine, but you are still speaking for them. How can you sympathize with the people at the bottom while doing the work of an inferior here?"

Tao Yanyan said solemnly: "Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, noble or humble, you should always be reasonable. Your people insulted the people of Great Zhou on the land of Great Zhou, which only shows that you, Princess Yan, are incompetent. Don't you have to give an explanation to the people of Great Zhou?"

"Hmph, it's just a small snack shop and you want me to give you an explanation. It's a joke." The Princess of Yan gave Tao Yanyan a haughty look. Qi Yizheng wanted to step forward but was stopped by Tao Yanyan.

"It seems that the Princess of Yan is not going to apologize. Well, my principle is that if someone scolds me, I will hit them, and then I will be offended." Tao Yanyan turned and looked at the guards in the store: "Just give him ten slaps, so that he will remember it and not speak without restraint in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow guard appeared out of nowhere, walked up to her and started slapping her quickly and fiercely. After slapping her ten times, he quickly disappeared.

Before everyone could react, the Yan guard who had been beaten had already swollen up into a pig's face and was unrecognizable.

Princess Yan was furious and annoyed: "Noble Concubine Tao, you are going too far. You actually beat my people in front of me!"

"You are insulting the people of Great Zhou in front of me! Humph, if you want to bully others, you should know the place. This is not your Yan State. The people of Great Zhou are simple and upright, and they cannot tolerate unreasonable people like you."

Princess Yan choked. She really didn't expect to be scolded by Concubine Tao in the street.

But before she could react, the crowd had already started to whisper, and then turned to shouting to drive her away: "Go back to Yan State, get out of the Great Zhou."

"Go back to Yan State and get out of the Great Zhou!"

Madam Qi in the shop hurriedly packed snacks for Princess Yan's maid and sent her out. She also wanted to persuade Concubine Tao not to make a big deal out of the matter.

The two maids knew that their master had lost face today, and they got on the carriage with great concern and served the snacks.

Princess Yan didn't take it at all. She was so angry that she had no mood to eat snacks. Even if dragon meat was placed in front of her, she had no appetite to eat it.

A box of freshly bought snacks was thrown out of the carriage, and the Princess of Yan quickly left with her entourage.

An old man passing by quickly picked up the snacks on the ground and said with concern: "They are all food. It's such a sin!" He patted the paper wrapping the snacks with his skinny hands like dead wood and carefully put them into his basket.

Madam Qi looked at the carriage of the Princess of Yan going away and sighed, "Your Highness, why did you anger her? Please don't cause trouble for your Highness because of this."

Tao Yanyan smiled indifferently: "I have wanted to scold her for a long time. She just happened to run into my trap today. I feel good after letting out some anger." After saying that, he clapped his hands, turned around and continued to distribute porridge.

Tao Yanyan's eyes were slightly cold: The soldiers of the Great Zhou sacrificed their lives in vain for her Yan State, this account is not so easy to settle!

It was a small farce that was watched by everyone for fun. Those who needed to queue up for porridge still queued up, and Xiangmanyuan's business was not affected and was still as prosperous as before.

Only the Princess of Yan was extremely angry. She smashed many things when she returned to the inn, and she still did not understand the hatred in her heart.

"Empress Tao, you are really going too far!" Princess Yan was so angry that her face became ferocious: "We must find something to hold against her. Go, find those censors to report her. No matter what, I don't want her to have an easy life!"

The people below had no choice but to spread the news. Since coming to the Great Zhou, their princess seemed like a different person. She had lost her mind and always did extreme things.

The court was about to close for the holiday, and the censors took the last day to report that Concubine Tao had abused her power and released a palace maid without permission.

After reading the memorial, He Linzhang remembered that the palace maid was the maid of Concubine Zhao who had been banished to the cold palace before, and he knew that this matter was probably true.

He said helplessly: "You always have good intentions to help others, but you don't know how to erase the traces. Now people have caught you. This Yan Yan, your methods are still not smart enough!"

Eunuch Zhang tried to persuade her, "After all, the Imperial Concubine is young and not cunning. In my opinion, these Imperial Censors are too nosy."

In Eunuch Zhang's opinion, a master who is good to his servants should be fully supported. As a royal servant, he also hopes that one day when he needs help, someone will lend him a hand.

"He is indeed nosy." He Linzhang saw that the censor who made the report was one of the people who were instructed by the Princess of Yan to report Tao Yanyan last time. His eyes were instantly as cold as ice. "Pass on my oral order that the censor Zhang Liang colluded with foreign countries and slandered and defamed the concubines in the harem. He is ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors from now on, and he does not need to attend court after the festival."

Eunuch Zhang went to deliver the imperial edict, thinking that Mr. Zhang's official career had come to an end. Who told him to fail to distinguish between friend and foe and be used as a pawn by the Princess of Yan?

He Linzhang didn't tell Tao Yanyan about the censors' report until the children fell asleep and they slept together. Tao Yanyan was shocked and didn't know how the censors knew the news. Xiangcao had obviously changed her name and Li Zongguan had concealed everything.

However, this matter cannot be covered up, and it will be exposed sooner or later.

She thought about it and chose to admit it: "Your Majesty, I did do this. At the beginning, I felt sorry for Xiangcao and couldn't bear to see her being implicated by Zhao at such a young age and die in the cold palace, so I helped her and let her go out of the palace to the farm. She was determined to repay me and managed several workshops in an orderly manner. Your Majesty, it is easy to kill a person, but it is too difficult to save a person. I made the decision to let her go out of the palace on my own. Your Majesty, you can punish her, but can you let Xiangcao go? Don't capture her again?"

After saying that, he looked at He Linzhang eagerly, like a kitten who had done something wrong and was worried about being punished.

He Linzhang raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, "However I punish you, are you willing?"

Tao Yanyan bit her lip and said softly, "As long as it's not a spanking and it's not painful, I'm willing to do anything. Oh, by the way, you can't make me kneel, otherwise I'll get old and my knees will hurt. You can't make me not eat, or I'll faint from hunger, and I can't stand being hungry."

He Linzhang laughed. No beating, no kneeling, no starvation. How did she come up with these punishment measures?

"You are not allowed to do this or that, how can I punish you? How about this, if you can make me happy, I will put this matter behind me and never mention it again."

Tao Yanyan's eyes sparkled, but she became shy again after a while, and said awkwardly: "Well, then I will just try to coax her with all my strength."

After saying that, she leaned close to He Linzhang's ear and bit his earlobe: "Brother Zhang~"

Just this one sound disturbed He Linzhang's heart. He turned over and pushed the person down, then covered her lips with his.
