Chapter 390: Meet one and love one
Bei Jingchu retracted her hand and looked away, not knowing what to do.
This is beyond the scope of the syllabus. ...
She had already read the random reply to the previous question: "If you want to go, go ahead. In the past, when women were selected as concubines, they did not hold any official position, but were all wives of officials. Then they would bring the beautiful girls to live in the palace."
"Nowadays, many young men have official positions and it is inconvenient for them to stay in the East Palace for a long time."
"Even if you participate in the draft, it won't delay your work."
However, the squatting person seemed inferior, but he kept pressing forward, not afraid that others would get angry and directly drive him out.
He replied obediently: "I want to know what my chances of winning are."
"After all, the only judge of this event is you..."
He complained: "After all, you love every man you see. If you see a dazzling array of gentlemen, I may not be interested in them."
Bei Jingchu spoke faster than she thought: "No, you are the one I love most among all the ones I meet."
Long Shou:......
The ambiguous atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
......
Bei Jingchu met Jiang Longshou again outside of official duties, not because of the beauty contest, but because he injured one of Cao's men.
He was detained and wanted to seek justice from the Eastern Palace.
Bei Jingchu thought it was fake news at first.
That boy is not an impulsive person, there must be some hidden story behind it.
The person who was beaten was the nephew of Cao Nong, the Minister of the Imperial Court. He was a few years older than Bei Jingchu and had studied with her in the Hongwenguan.
Minister Cao had only a daughter, so he gave the only spot to his nephew.
This time, Bei Jingchu, as the party in the wrong, was invited to the Cao family's residence.
It feels weird, a bit like kids calling their parents after a fight.
Bei Jingchu shook off the strange thoughts and helped Minister Cao, who was paying his respects, up.
"Just stay flat, no need to be polite."
When the boy who was left behind saw her coming, he stood beside her very consciously like a big dog that had found its owner.
Bei Jingchu laughed: "You're blocking my light by standing here, go find a place to sit."
Jiang Longshou was a little worried. Although he did not act rashly, he felt that Bei Jingchu would have the tacit understanding to seize the opportunity he gave her.
But I still feel a little uneasy.
Seeing her warm attitude, I felt relieved.
Minister Cao's face did not look good, but he did not say anything and gestured to his nephew to explain the situation.
Cao Dalang, who was beaten black and blue, began to complain: "Your Highness, your commander Jiang sent a visiting card to the Cao family. My family has prepared a bed to welcome him and will treat him well."
Cao Dalang snorted coldly, pointed at Jiang Longshou and said, "In the end, Commander Jiang hit me directly in the face!"
"There is no grudge between us, but he rushed up and beat me up. Your Highness, tell me, are the officials of the Eastern Palace so lawless?"
Although Bei Jingchu didn't know what had happened, he couldn't lose the momentum.
She asked leisurely, "Jiang Qing has never had any dealings with the Cao family. Why did you let him in?"
Cao Dalang was stuck, not knowing how to explain.
Bei Jingchu didn't even need to point out their intentions, as she knew at once that they were trying to win over the officials of the Eastern Palace to be traitors.
Cao Dalang explained dryly: "Because the Cao family is hospitable, we welcome guests and treat them with courtesy."
"Anyway, this is the man who came into my house and beat me up."
He said solemnly: "Today, I only hope that Your Highness will give me an explanation."
"Otherwise, I would not have dissuaded the censor from interceding for his impeachment."
Seeing these serious words, coupled with those symmetrical purple panda eyes and cheeks that were swollen as if stung by a bee, Bei Jingchu had to hold back her laughter.
She suppressed her laughter and said, "Long Shou, tell me, why did you beat him up?"
Jiang Longshou was like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded. He kept his head down and only the hair crown was facing her.
Now, hearing her calling him, he raised his head and cleared his throat.
It looks like it's time to start exerting force.
Bei Jingchu immediately determined that there was something wrong here.
Jiang Longshou stared at Cao Dalang and said meaningfully, "There is a young lady in the Cao family who is quite interested in medicine. This young lady is the daughter of Cao Dalang."
"The Cao family is a prominent family, so naturally their daughter will be taught by a famous teacher. The best doctor in medicine must be the imperial physician in the palace."
At this point, Cao Dalang suddenly shouted loudly: "Enough!"
"I'm talking about why Commander Jiang used force against me. Why are you bringing up my daughter's affairs?"
"Your Highness, Jiang Longshou is clearly avoiding the issue. Please enforce the law impartially and do not shield him just because he is your man!"
Bei Jingchu smiled and argued with Cao Nong: "Minister Cao, your nephew's attitude is too overbearing."
"Even if the case is being tried by the Dali Temple, there should be room for the defendant to defend himself, right?"
"You are so rude in front of me. It seems that the family tradition of the Cao family, a family of nobles, is not strict."
