The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 39 Mengjia

Later, Han Lingfeng became the top martial arts champion, disguising himself as a respectable person and walking in front of others. Everyone praised him as a handsome young man with unparalleled bravery. He and Xu Zhen, one a scholar and the other a warrior, were regarded as the twin stars of the Great Yong Dynasty.

But if I may be so bold, there's not a single thing about him that can compare to Xu Zhen.

Xu Ru: Hehe~

Marquis Kang Le: No, not at all.

[The eldest sister married Han Lingfeng, and Marquis Kang Le finally had enough. He drugged the eldest sister and almost violated her, but she regained her senses in time and killed him.]

Because of this incident, the older sister was smeared by Han Lingfeng.

In feudal dynasties, the most effective, overt strategy to ruin a woman was to marry her off to a scoundrel.

Thus, the eldest sister became known as a troublemaker who, in other people's eyes, was unfaithful and killed her father-in-law after his advances were rejected.

[After thinking it over, I realize that a good woman like my elder sister shouldn't suffer like this. I know that Marquis Kang Le and Han Lingfeng are incompatible with my elder sister, therefore, tonight is the perfect time to kill her.]

Emperor: What a coincidence, I think so too. However, I am still alive, why would I need you to do anything?

Zheng Jin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Kang Lehou, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

It's nothing, she's just her sister, no other cats or dogs have the right to bully her.

Marquis Kang Le felt flustered and weak-kneed under the various gazes. He wasn't particularly clever, but he knew very well that he was probably doomed.

He wanted to defend himself, to tell everyone that those were things that happened later, no, that's not right, he didn't do those things.

However, he didn't have the courage to say it, nor did he have the courage to refute it.

Before he reaches his breaking point, he's just a piece of clay; you can mold him into whatever shape you want.

So much happened at the morning court session that many ministers were still in a daze when they left the Fengqin Hall.

Liao Hongsheng chuckled and chatted with the people next to him, saying, "With Princess Yuanjia here, the morning court sessions every day are truly exciting."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Duan Yunfeng was standing next to him.

There have been so many officials pleading guilty lately that he's been working himself to the bone, with huge dark circles under his eyes that startled Liao Hongsheng.

"Wow, you went off to steal?"

Duan Yunfeng glanced at him with a stern face: "To share the Emperor's burdens, I dare not call it stealing."

Liao Hongsheng's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and turned and left.

The old Grand Tutor stroked his beard and shook his head helplessly: "Tsk tsk, these two bickering lovers have been together for so many years and they still love to quarrel."

Since fainting from the shock of his inner voice last time, he had been recuperating at home for a period of time. The Emperor was kind and hoped that he would take good care of his health, but he was still worried about the country and its people, so he came to court today.

Standing next to him was Qin Yue, the Grand Tutor and Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet. Because the current emperor disliked these old ministers left behind by the late emperor for interfering in his affairs, he held two high-ranking and powerful positions, but all his authority was merely nominal.

Therefore, he has been focusing on compiling books and educating people, and has not attended court for a long time.

However, both the Crown Prince and Zheng Jiao were his students. It can be said that although he rarely appeared in public, his prestige in the court was extremely high.

Qin Yue took out his pipe and gently tapped the barrel of the gun that the guard was holding up next to him: "Young man, it's good to have some noise."

He took a drag of his cigarette and asked slowly, "However, have you all already verified Princess Yuanjia's true feelings?"

"Otherwise, the Emperor would not have bestowed such honor upon Yuan Jia."

The Grand Tutor sighed: "The current Great Yong Dynasty is like walking on thin ice, but the relationship between the court officials has actually eased a lot."

He looked at the two ministers walking out of the palace side by side, one a civil official and the other a military officer. They used to dislike each other. If time could be turned back a few days, they probably would never have believed that they would be walking together in good spirits.

He turned to look at his old friend: "I know you are indifferent to fame and fortune, but we old bones should also do our part for the country and the people. You should stop staying at home and compiling books."

The old Grand Tutor was already seventy years old, a rare age in ancient times. His figure had become hunched, but his aura was still impossible to ignore.

Qin Yue took a drag of his cigarette and nodded slowly: "If you have such a kind heart, I won't back down either."

He glanced back at the imposing Fengqin Hall, his still bright eyes filled with fervent passion.

……

As soon as the court session ended, Zheng Xun prepared to slip away.

She had decided to leave quietly this time, but the emperor, who had overheard her thoughts, was already prepared.

"Commander Li, I order you to release me."

Li Zhuo remained expressionless: "Your Majesty, I will only obey your orders."

"Let me tell you, it's not that I can't beat you, it's that I'm letting you win."

The little girl was being held by the scruff of her neck, her legs swaying back and forth, and she solemnly referred to herself as "this Empress." Li Zhuo wasn't frightened; he was charmed by her cuteness.

Unfortunately, Princess Yuanjia was too thin. For the first time, he had some complaints about the emperor. Had he not fed his own child? How could she have become so thin?

"Doesn't the Princess want to learn martial arts? Your humble servant is ordered to take you to see your instructor."

Zheng Xun asked in surprise, "So fast?"

"Serving the Princess requires both speed and quality."

Zheng Xun pouted. "Men's words are deceitful. He's said so much, but he still hasn't put her down."

"Put me down first, and I promise I won't run away."

Li Zhuo kept a straight face and focused on the road, as if he hadn't heard her words.

Zheng Xun frowned; she was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

For some reason, Li Zhuo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

As a martial artist, he trusted his intuition and quickly put the person down, saying, "We've arrived."

Zheng Xun straightened his collar and looked around.

This is the palace's training ground, which is very spacious. In the distance, several guards are sparring, and their laughter stops abruptly when they see Li Zhuo.

Where is the master you found for me?

Zheng Xun looked around and saw that there were only a few greenhorns in the distance on the training ground.

Li Zhuo: "Does the Princess prefer a gentle or a strict one?"

Zheng Xun, with his hands behind his back, said, "I prefer someone who can teach me real skills."

Li Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I apologize for the offense."

He took her pulse and felt her bones. After he finished, he remained silent for a long time before saying, "Princess, please wait a moment."

He left those words behind and turned to leave. Zheng Xun considered the possibility of slipping away at this moment, but Li Zhuo returned very quickly.

Behind him stood a small old woman dressed in coarse linen clothes.

The old lady had a full head of white hair, but she walked with a light step and was in good spirits.

Li Zhuo stood respectfully behind the old lady: "Princess Yuanjia, this is my master, Mengjia."

Mengjia cupped her hands in a respectful yet humble manner and greeted Princess Yuanjia: "Greetings."

"Senior." Zheng Xun bowed respectfully and earnestly.

Mengjia smiled kindly: "Your aptitude is exceptional, but it's a pity you're a bit too old."

Zheng Xun, whose bone age is ten years old: ...
