Chapter 17

Understanding Reason

In Qiyuntai, the princes, princes and nobles were leaving one after another.

At the entrance and exit below the tall building, the imperial guards stood with swords on the left and right, and the palace maid stood beside the chariot with horses and horses driving side by side. From time to time, her eyes glanced at the young man in white standing at the door, with a strange expression and curiosity.

Zuo Lingquan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the clear sky with rolling clouds. After waiting for only a moment, footsteps sounded in the hall behind him.

Turning around, at the corner of the hall stairs, the hem of a red dress appeared. Her light steps made the skirt ripple. The red palace shoes and white ankles under the skirt appeared and disappeared.

If he had never met Zuo Lingquan, he would think that the scene of Qingluo strolling was beautiful, but when he thought about who the owner of these long legs was, he lost interest in admiring it.

Tap tap tap——

Jiang Yi walked leisurely and led the palace maid down the stairs. She didn't look sideways until she passed by each other, then she motioned for Zuo Lingquan to get in the car with her. Zuo Lingquan also wanted to chat with Jiang Yi privately and did not refuse.

Leng Zhu helped Jiang Yi get on the carriage. He wanted to follow him in, but he never thought that Jiang Yi turned around and said:

"Leng Zhu, get off the car and follow me."

"Um?"

Leng Zhu was stunned and thought to himself, "A man and a woman are living together in the same carriage. This is...", but she did not dare to disobey the princess's instructions. She quickly got off the carriage and wisely pushed all the escorting maids behind to follow.

Creaking, creaking——

The horse's hooves were lifted lightly, the luxurious chariot was lifted up, and it moved slowly towards the imperial city.

The carriage on which the eldest princess rides has a natural and luxurious interior decoration, complete with tea tables and soft couches, and gold and jade decorations everywhere.

Jiang Yi entered the car with a gloomy face and sat down on the carved soft couch. She was thinking about how to 'threaten' Zuo Lingquan. But what Jiang Yi didn't expect was that Zuo Lingquan came in and closed the car door with his backhand.

His polite appearance disappeared, and he walked to sit next to her, picked up the cup and teapot on the tea table, and poured a cup of tea slowly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

The soft couch was suitable for lying down and resting, and it was more than enough for two people to sit on. But when had Jiang Yi ever sat on the same chair with a man? She stood up quickly, but she immediately felt something was wrong - the majestic princess, how could she be standing without outsiders?

What’s the point of sitting?

Jiang Yi quickly sat down again, sitting on the other side of the soft body, her eyes like two sharp swords:

"Who asked you to sit down?"

Zuo Lingquan turned a deaf ear and poured two cups of tea on his own: "Last time in Linhefang, I didn't know that the girl was the eldest princess. Her behavior may be disrespectful. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Jiang Yi leaned on the armrest, far away from Zuo Lingquan. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, but she didn't want to get up and be at a disadvantage, so she forced herself to maintain her momentum and said:

"Get up, me!"

"It is said that the eldest princess served as regent for the Holy Emperor for three years. She worked diligently, loved the people, and dealt with justice..."

"If you don't get up, don't blame me for being ruthless! I have plenty of people who can treat you!"

"I just didn't expect that Her Highness the Princess also has shortcomings. I thought the Princess was too great and upright before."

When Jiang Yi heard these wanton words, her almond-shaped eyes widened, she sat up straight and said:

"What are the shortcomings of this palace? You use underhanded tactics to win with others, but you can't win with force, and you have the nerve to criticize me?"

After Zuo Lingquan brought up the topic, he looked at Jiang Yi calmly:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess handles government affairs on behalf of Her Majesty, and wants to clarify the right and wrong. The night before in Linhefang, Her Royal Highness the Princess and I met by chance. When we were talking about martial arts, Her Royal Highness the Princess first proposed a competition. I did not agree at first, but Her Royal Highness the Princess repeatedly requested that I accept the challenge."

"I took the initiative to ask for a spar, but you have the nerve to say that you won in an upright manner? Those shady tricks..."

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and interrupted Jiang Yi's words:

"Since Your Highness is practicing martial arts, do you understand what the original intention of the competition is?"

"The purpose of mutual competition between warriors is to improve each other's skills through actual combat, without causing death or maiming like a real fight. Pay attention to propriety and stop at the point."

"Then let me ask the princess, after competing with me, has the princess's martial arts improved?"

"Um?"

Jiang Yi was stunned.

Zuo Lingquan felt that what he said was not clear enough, so he added: "If the princess becomes an enemy in the future, will she suffer the same loss as last time and be tricked by someone in a blind spot in her field of vision?"

As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years." The last time Jiang Yi fought with Zuo Lingquan, she was bitten twice. I'm afraid she will never forget it in her life. She will definitely be on guard against this attack again.

Jiang Yi's eyes changed a little, she no longer looked at Zuo Lingquan, her voice remained stubborn:

"How could I make the same mistake again? I will definitely be on guard against it in the future. But...but when you were sparring, you didn't fight openly and openly, but used those unflattering tricks..."

"If a princess can choose opponents for sparring, is it possible that she can also choose enemies of life and death? What if the enemy she encounters in the future specializes in dirty tricks, and Her Royal Highness the Princess' life is hanging by a thread if she is hit by them, how can she still scold them for being shameless?"

"I……"

Zuo Lingquan had a clear conscience, so Jiang Yi naturally couldn't say it, but the arrogance deep in her bones still made her refuse to let go:

"The discussion is a discussion, it is different from actual combat..."

"If the competition is not close to actual combat, and it's just a matter of rules and regulations, then what's the point of the competition? Moreover, the competition should be done to the point. I had the upper hand when I fought against the princess, but did I ever hurt the princess at all?"

The beating was fierce that night, but Jiang Yi was indeed unscathed, which showed that Zuo Lingquan paid attention to his sense of proportion. In the end, she was unconvinced and got up and chased Zuo Lingquan to chop her.

If we follow this logic, it is indeed her fault first...

Jiang Yi pursed her lips. Halfway through the argument, she realized that she was wrong and her momentum weakened a lot in an instant.

However, Jiang Yi had an arrogant temperament and was not willing to just admit her mistake. Her mind raced and she suddenly remembered something very important!

Who said she wasn't hurt?

Your butt is swollen from being spanked!

Zuo Lingquan had been observing Jiang Yi's expression. Before Jiang Yi could speak, he said:

"In the end, I used the scabbard as a ruler and spanked the princess..."

"spit--"

Jiang Yi's face turned red instantly, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She raised her palace boots and kicked Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan reacted very quickly and grabbed the red palace boots with his hands, showing slight dissatisfaction:

"If Her Royal Highness hadn't been so arrogant and chased me to chop you regardless of the severity or severity, how could I have beaten you? Furthermore, using the scabbard as a ruler, there has never been any frivolous behavior. The gentleman used the ruler as a corporal punishment in order to teach and let the students remember it.

In my heart, Her Royal Highness the Princess thinks this is an insult, is it possible that she will kill all the teachers who taught reading and literacy in childhood?"

Zuo Lingquan grabbed the left foot that Jiang Yi kicked with his hand. Because of the angle, while talking, the hem of the red skirt slipped above his knees, showing off his white and slender legs.

Jiang Yi's face turned red, and when she realized that she was naked, she hurriedly twitched her foot hard, but she didn't pull it back. She quickly pulled up her skirt to block it, and said angrily:

"Yeah - shameless little thief, let go! You are so brave... I'm calling someone!"

Zuo Lingquan didn't squint, just stared into Jiang Yi's eyes:

"If you don't have a clean heart, everyone will be dirty. I have never shown any disrespect to the princess, but she secretly plots against me one after another. Doesn't the princess understand who is the shameless thief?"

Jiang Yi blocked her legs with the hem of her skirt and slapped her a few times, only to find that Zuo Lingquan didn't peek at him at all, and his eyes were aloof and cold, almost saying 'Don't be so sentimental' written on his face.

The blush on Jiang Yi's face froze slightly, and then she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know whether to scold Zuo Lingquan for being so sexy, or scolding him for being blind because he didn't even know how to look at such white legs.

However, facing Zuo Lingquan's slightly harsh words, Jiang Yi could not give in no matter how much she thought. She straightened her back and stared:

"You still dare to say that I am shameless? How can I be shameless? I will discuss with you, you are so bullying, and I still recommend you to Qihuang Valley to become a disciple as promised..."

"Has Her Royal Highness the Princess ever said hello to Qihuang Valley and given me more 'care'?"

"..."

Jiang Yi's expression froze, she thought for a while and said:

"Qihuang Valley is an important place. It is already difficult for disciples to get started. It is no longer easy for you to get started. What else do you want? Let the masters of the country come out to welcome you to get started?"

"good."

Zuo Lingquan nodded and continued without pursuing this matter further:

"Today's equestrian test, that unique 'horse' was arranged by the princess, right?"

As soon as Jiang Yi's identity is exposed, the secret manipulation will definitely not be hidden, and even a fool can guess it.

When Jiang Yi heard this, her expression really froze, and she secretly caused Tiaozi to be caught. She was so unreasonable that she couldn't refute at all.

Zuo Lingquan let go of Jiang Yi's palace boots, shook his head and said:

"I acted upright and did not do anything inappropriate to the princess, but the princess used this method to plot against me and almost killed Zhao Huaian. If I were to sit on the horse today, I would first be embarrassed, and then fall off the horse and be trampled to death. The princess was out

I will be very happy when I think about it, but it is a pity that Zuo let the princess down."

These words are full of cynicism, which is equivalent to riding on Jiang Yi's face.

Jiang Yi's expression changed. She also knew honor and disgrace. She was not a shameless villain. She was not embarrassed to be accused of wrongdoing in person.

Jiang Yi gritted her teeth and responded after a long while:

"I...I didn't want to throw you to death, I just stopped the horse and made a joke. You are so capable, you won't necessarily make a fool of yourself. Didn't you make a blockbuster today?"

Zuo Lingquan snorted lightly: "I thought it was a joke. The princess showed up in the end and designated me as the consort. She knew that I longed for immortality, but deliberately blocked my path. Isn't this vindictiveness a bit excessive?"

When Jiang Yi heard this, she was embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt something was wrong - Hey? By saying this, do you think my consort has wronged you?

Jiang Yi's momentum immediately increased, she sat upright without any shame, and looked at Zuo Lingquan coldly:

"You don't know how blessed you are, so what's wrong with me choosing you as my consort? I'm treating you badly?"

Well……
