Chapter 162 Adulterer Gongzhu Is Caught in Bed and Abolished [1]
And Wei Mingrui’s father Wei Kangcheng was just a second-rank Assistant Minister of Appointments . But his sister Wei Lijuan was one of the Emperor’s current most favored consorts .
It was said that because of her outstanding appearance, when she first entered the Palace, the Emperor flipped her green tablet* sixteen days in a row, even breaking Wan Meiran’s record of twelve days in a row when she entered the Palace .
*[How Emperors chose who to sleep with that night . ]
Even Wei Kangcheng rose two ranks from a third-rank General Department official to a first-rank Assistant Minister of Appointments because of his daughter’s blessing .
So, the current situation was that none of the “Four Tyrants” had a Zhengfei or main wife . Even their engagements were not finalized yet .
In short, the women whom they liked didn’t necessarily like them and they did not like certain women who like them . “Can’t match high, but the low comes” summed up the current marital status of the Four Tyrants .
Shangguan LingRan looked at the love-struck fools and suddenly smiled devilishly . He originally looked devilishly charming . Now that he smiled, he was even more unspeakably charming, making Yu Meilian stare straight at him .
Love-struck fool! Shangguan LingRan was even more contemptuous towards her, but smiled tenderly at her .
He had never shown a pleasant expression to Yu Meilian before . This really made Yu Meilian overjoyed today . She looked at Shangguan LingRan and felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest .
Shangguan LingRan smiled to his gang of friends and lazily smiled . “You chat . This Shizi will go check on imperial grandmother . I don’t know if that old lady is drunk yet . ”
Then he turned to leave . Yu Meilian was as if she had lost her soul . She followed Shangguan LingRan and even threw Ke Yuner to the side .
Almost everyone saw this . They were all contemptuous to the extreme . They thought that she was really shameless . She could even do such an improper and shameless thing .
Shangguan LingRan walked in the front as Yu Meilian followed behind . She stared at that upright and handsome posture in front of her as if everything in the world didn’t exist . There was only that moving back between heaven and earth .
That was until Shangguan LingRan suddenly stopped and turned to look at her . She was shocked and bent her head in shyness and panic .
Shangguan LingRan walked over to her . He wasn’t like he was in the past and ignored or mocked her . Instead, he said gently, “Yu Xiaojie, would you like to go with me to see imperial grandmother?”
Of course she would! Yu Meilian shyly nodded . She didn’t even think about it and followed Shangguan LingRan .
Zi You saw this from the garden and curtsied to Taizi and Third Wangzi . She said softly, “Chennu just drank too much . Chennu is feeling a little dizzy and wants to find a place to rest . ”
“Let me show you . ” Taizi had not spoke before Third Wangzi immediately interrupted Zi You . He kindly acted like a guardian angel . “You don’t come to the Palace often, so I’ll take you to Ronghua Palace Hall . That is where important guests rest . ”
“I’m also a bit dizzy too . ” Taizi quickly and elegantly smiled . “Third brother doesn’t need to specially make this trip . I’ll send Mu Xiaojie there . It’s on the way . ”
Third Wangzi immediately became displeased . He sneered at Taizi . “Taizi gege is really interesting . Everything of mine, you……”
“Third Wangzi!” Zi You immediately smiled as she interrupted Third Wangzi’s words . “Since it’s like this, why don’t you come with us to Ronghua Palace Hall too? Let’s see if there are any other gongzis or xiaojies there . After a rest, maybe we can have a kickball game . ”

Third Wangzi’s face had sunk, but it rose back up after hearing Zi You’s words . He looked triumphantly at Taizi and replied . “Okay . I haven’t played it in a long time . You’er likes playing kickball? Let’s be on the same team later . ”
Taizi seemed to have made up his mind not to let Zi You and Third Wangzi be alone together . He also quickly echoed . “After You’er’s words, I really do want to play now . But this sport is too intense . You’er, you have to hide behind me later and don’t get hit by the ball . ”
“Okay . ” Zi You answered particularly easily . “Then we three will be on a team together and win . Taizi, you should give out a prize . That way, it will be even more fun . ”
Zi You really seemed to have drunk too much today . Her usual coldness was gone . She smiled brightly and revealed some charms of a cute girl . She was already beautiful, but now her eyes shone, revealing some drunken mistiness . She was a different kind of breathtaking beauty now .
Taizi and Third Wangzi left with her . Not only was Third Wangzi’s prospective wife Wen Chuyan angry and jealous, but Shangguan Lingluo also exploded . She broke off a fingernail and gave it to her palace maid Cailing . She whispered and said, “Give this to Taizi . Tell him that I’m waiting for him at Yaohua Palace . ”
Yaohua Palace was Shangguan Lingluo’s palace . It was the closest to the Empress’ Fengming Palace . After Shangguan Lingluo’s Mufei passed away, the Empress had treated Shangguan Lingluo and her brother as her own children . However, only the Empress knew how much real emotion there was .
In short, the Empress’ own daughter Second Gongzhu had once scolded Shangguan Lingluo . “Bah! What do you think you are? Muhou just can’t bear for you to be insulted by others, so she brought you over to raise . Do you really think that you are Muhou’s biological child? You have to fight with me over everything . So annoying!”
Second Gongzhu Shangguan Yunluo was sixteen years old . She was already married to one of the Duke Dingguo’s, one of the five great dukes, sons: Teng Yixuan . Teng Yixuan was nineteen years old . He came third in the imperial examination and had a bright future, but Second Gongzhu had fallen in love with him . He could only helplessly dissolve the engagement with Marquis Wuan’s Di daughter, Bai Hanyan, marry the Gongzhu, and end his officialdom path . There was a rule in Great Yan that the Emperor’s son-in-law could not hold an official position . It was established by the previous Emperor and no one could defy it .
Second Gongzhu and Shangguan Lingluo did not get along . Zi You smiled craftily and asked Taizi, “Taizi, where’s Second Gongzhu? Chennu heard that Second Gongzhu plays kickball very well . Chennu really wants to learn from her!”
Since someone had praised his sister and it was exactly the person whom he wanted to please, a charming smile immediately appeared on Taizi’s handsome face . He turned to Eunuch Lin . “Go to Ronghua Palace Hall and invite Second Gongzhu over . Tell her that this Taizi is looking for her . ”

Because Taizi frequently took Shangguan Lingluo’s side, his biological sister Second Gongzhu had long misunderstood him . Taizi was not sad about it, but Second Gongzhu’s in-laws were Duke Dingguo fu . Taizi really wanted to bury the hatchet with her and fix their relationship . After all, it was better for a hundred-year-old family to support him rather than have them as an enemy .
Perhaps because of Mu Zi You, he might fix the relationship with his sister today . As such, Mu Zi You was really more useful to him than Shangguan Lingluo .
Shangguan Lingluo was really becoming more and more arrogant . Just because she spoke some nice things about him in front of Fuwang, she was becoming more willful .
You’er was better . If she became his woman, not only would he get Old General Mu’s support, but he could patch things up with his sister and get Duke Dingguo fu’s help . Muhou would also be happy . This was really killing multiple birds with one stone .
Ronghua Palace Hall was not far from the Jade Palace Hall . It didn’t take more than a quarter of an hour to get there . Taizi, Third Wangzi, and Zi You walked there with palace servants . In a short time, their group increased in size and some gongzis and xiaojies were added .
They heard that they would have a kickball match after taking a rest and everyone was interested . Zi You looked around . Among these people, there was Ke Yunfeng, Ke Yuner’s brother . There was also Minister of Revenue’s Di son, Yu Meilian’s brother, Yu Maorui; Duke Weiguo’s grandson, Li Huafeng; Assistant Minister of War’s daughter, Yin Xiaoxia; and Wei Mingrui and favored consort Li Pin’s sister, Wei Yajuan .
Zi You’s three sworn sisters wouldn’t there . She didn’t know whether Liu Ruixue would be jealous seeing Taizi hovering around her . Zi You had pretended to be drunk as an excuse to leave them, but now she was with Taizi and Third Wangzi . She hoped that Liu Ruixue wouldn’t misunderstand .
When they arrived at Ronghua Palace Hall, Zi You then discovered that it was divided into four chambers . Tables, chairs, and beds were placed in each chamber . It looked like this place was really for guests to rest here .
On the way here, Zi You had been chatting with Wei Yajuan and Yin Xiaoxia . They were envious of, but also admired Zi You . After all, in half a year, she had made that arrogant and domineering Fourth Gongzhu suffer a loss, but also had the Emperor personally summon her and confer her as the first commander of a female medical team in the throne room . Great Yan had never had a precedent for a female official before .
Zi You, Wei Yajuan, and Yin Xiaoxia rested for a quarter of an hour . Zi You suggested, “I seem to have smelled plum blossoms when we walked in here . Are there plum blossoms here? Do you want to admire plum blossoms?”

“Okay! I also like plum blossoms, especially wintersweets . ” Yin Xiaoxia was very lively . She was only two months older than Zi You . She immediately agreed to Zi You’s suggestion and the three girls left the chamber .
They pushed the door open and encountered Third Wangzi and the other gongzis . There was also a young woman with a high bun, wearing a red gold hairpin divided with phoenixes with beads in their mouths . She was wearing a red coat embroidered with gold and silver peonies and a honey-colored sable satin dress .
Zi You saw that her face was 40% similar to the Empress’ . She immediately walked over to curtsy . She slightly smiled and said, “Chennu pays respects to Second Gongzhu . Wishing Second Gongzhu good fortune!”
