Chapter 905: Instant Fame with One Claw
d cheekily, and scolded: "If you don't come back soon, this festival will be ruined! You're like rabbits, released and impossible to catch!"Li Zhensheng was away from home, naturally he missed his fam...The second day was a fine day. The sun, which had been sullen all winter, seemed to be shining three points brighter, also foreshadowing the arrival of spring.
After dinner, the two carriages of the Li family entered the city one after the other.
The first car carried Wan'er, her mother and Jia Yin, along with Chunxiu, Shuiling, and Shuiyun.
Originally, Old Madam He wanted to come along, but Jia Yin felt sorry for her age and asked her to stay home and look after the County Princess's Mansion.
The second car was then used to transport Jia Yin's luggage.
As they reached the gates of the Earl's mansion, Wan'er held her child tightly, reluctant to enter.
The carriage then continued on to the palace.
Before the palace gate, the Marquis stood in the cold wind, clad in a sapphire blue robe and a dark cloak.
Seeing the carriage arrive, he stepped forward two steps to greet his daughter.
Jia Yin hugged the little fox, excitedly asked, "Father-in-law, you're going to go into the palace with me"
The lord smiled and nodded, "Just so happens I have some matters that need to be brought before the Emperor. Let's go into the palace together."
Jia Yin, of course, knew this was an excuse. Her stepfather must have been waiting here deliberately.
Then, her eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled, incredibly cute.
At this moment, two young eunuchs ran over from afar and quickly bowed, saying: “My Lady, we are from Zhi Lan Palace. The Princess entrusted us to wait here for you these few days. Please follow us into the palace!”
Jia Yin nodded and smiled, "Good, thank you for your hard work."
Shui Ling hurried forward, pretending to inquire about the luggage, and then slipped a purse into each of the two eunuchs' hands.
Two young eunuchs squeezed the hard silver coins in their pouches and suddenly became enthusiastic.
A little eunuch called upon the guards at the gate to help carry the boxes, while another led the way.
The Lord saw this and felt a little more at ease.
Thus, the group slowly walked in. They successfully passed through the palace gate and were just about to take another step when suddenly there was commotion behind them.
There were several guards from the imperial army, insisting on checking the luggage in the boxes.
Logically speaking, palace entrants should be inspected. This is a regulation.
But as Jia Yin was the county princess, and had the marquis' escort, the princess even sent people to welcome her.
The Imperial Guard just did inspections, which was basically just opening the boxes and taking a quick glance.
These few Imperial Guards, for some inexplicable reason, either possessed incredible courage or were spurred on by someone behind the scenes.
They not only opened the boxes, intending to carefully inspect them, but even used a long spear to pick up a piece of clothing, like a banner, and proudly surveyed it.
Jia Yin is a girl, and there are some private little clothes in the box.
If everything were to be examined and displayed before the public, what reputation or honor would we have left!
Shuiling and Shuoyun immediately reddened their eyes and rushed up to try to retrieve their master's coat.
But someone was faster than them!
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the soldier, who was still wearing his clothes, let out a scream, clutching his face and rolling on the ground in pain.
Everyone was taken aback and quickly looked over.
It was not a person who made the attack, but a small fox!
Three bodies bristled with fur, lashing their paws savagely, sending a string of blood beads rolling across the snow, starkly visible.
It snarled, then picked up the jacket and put it back in the box.
In that instant, besides the screams at the palace gate, everyone seemed to have their throats choked!
This fluffy, white little fox was originally thought to be a well-behaved pet.
To my surprise, it turned out to be such a ruthless and powerful weapon!
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy!
The forbidden army gripped their spears tightly, about to bellow at the crowd to seize the fox.
The hundred personal guards of the Marquis's mansion had originally been unable to follow into the palace, so they remained silently guarding at a distance.
When the Lord returned with a solemn face, they all rushed over. The sound of their footsteps was like thunder, heavy and dull.
Although the guards' swords remained sheathed, their hands were already gripping the hilts.
They have been fighting with the barbarians for years, honing their iron-blooded spirit, which is far beyond what those guard dogs of an Imperial Army could ever match!
The junior officer on duty was so frightened that his face turned pale. He mustered his courage and stammered, "My lord, what are you doing Are you rebelling"
The lord didn't even give him a glance, coldly ordering his guards, "These people deliberately humiliated County Princess Kangle and provoked this Marquis. They must have ulterior motives."
"Take all of them into custody and make sure they don't commit suicide.
Besides, the palace gate is closed. Wait for the emperor’s decree!
"Yes, My Lord!" The guards responded in unison.
Then, they swiftly disarmed dozens of guards at the gate, both officers and soldiers, knocking them to their knees in the snow with their jaws hanging slack.
Some people hoping to enter the palace from afar, witnessed everything from their carriages, so shocked that they couldn't even breathe.
And inside the palace gate, abutting the two side courtyards were a dozen or so study rooms. Officials of the Six Ministries would take turns attending to business there, prepared for the Emperor's summons at any time.
At this moment, there was a commotion, and four or five officials rushed out, none of them knowing what had happened.
But on the snow, that patch of obvious blood and the cries of soldiers, kneeling in a row like "rice dumplings," turned their faces pale.
Could it be a palace coup!
Then they saw Marquis Xin Ting using his long cloak to shield himself from the north wind, protecting a little girl as they walked in. They were even more bewildered.
Wouldn't someone who caused a palace coup be this relaxed and composed!
Jia Yin took a handkerchief and was wiping the little fox's paws, muttering to it, "Next time, don't just swipe your claws like that. It's good to teach bad guys a lesson, but you don't have to do it either!
"
“I was going to keep you as a secret weapon, but you just became famous overnight!”
The little fox tucked its neck in, its black beady eyes rolling around pitifully.
Its little head couldn't understand, it was loyal and protective, how could it have done anything wrong
Instead, the Marquis spoke a fair word, “If the three things are done well, then this is how it should be done from now on.”
The little fox immediately perked up and wagged its bushy tail proudly.
Unfortunately, it was suppressed by the master after just a few shakes.
"You are a fox, not a dog, why wag your tail" Jia Yin stroked the little fox and then turned to her godfather, "Godfather, would this cause trouble just now"
The Marquis shook his head, glanced around to make sure no one was listening, and said, "The Emperor has long wanted to move against the Imperial Army, but he's never had an excuse."
Today's events, I estimate that it was that person who was trying to test me, and also giving you a warning.
"I'll go tell the Emperor and take this opportunity to clean house with the Imperial Guards."
Jia Yin couldn't help but laugh, "Then doesn't that count as, 'failing to steal a chicken and losing a handful of rice'"
The Lord rubbed her hair and instructed, “So, you don't have to be afraid of anything, don't wrong yourself.”
"That person's power has greatly diminished now, so he can only resort to petty tricks."
"Understood, father." Jia Yin replied.
Just reaching a fork in the road, she said: "I'll go find the Third Princess first. I'll go see Grandfather Emperor with her later."
"Good." The Lord nodded.
The father and daughter quickly parted ways and went their separate ways.
Princess Third stood at the gate of Zilan Palace, nearly stretching her neck.
Her close-knit nanny, surnamed Hao, urged her at this moment, "Princess, it's chilly here. Why don't you go back and have some hot tea"
The Third Princess refused, saying impatiently, "If you want to go back, go back. This princess will wait for good news!"
Grandma Hao helplessly sighed, how could she possibly leave her maidservant behind to enjoy the comforts while leaving her master here to suffer the cold. They were in this together, and they would both have to endure the winter chill.
Fortunately, after a while, Jia Yin arrived with Shui Ling and Shui Yun.t escape the fate of being appendages to men. 。Besides princesses and countesses, who had titles, the rest of the women were not free. 。People from poor families have to work tirelessly, both inside...
