Chapter 276: The Little Princess Is so Arrogant!
Yan Li said nothing.
In a country where men are superior to women, men will not be punished for being romantic, but forcibly robbing women, abusing power for personal gain, and forcing women to obey are not things a gentleman should do.
"Has the woman that Kang Zixu robbed been sent back?"
Chen Qingfeng nodded: "She has been sent back, but..."
"But what?"
"The woman's father is just a small scholar in Yanling, a weak scholar, powerless, and even his future fame is in the hands of the Kang family." Chen Qingfeng said calmly, "If he displeases the Kang family this time, he may not even have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination in the future."
A scholar in his thirties is not uncommon among scholars, and is not worthy of the attention of a big family.
But a scholar without power is no different from an ant in front of a prominent family like the Kang family. They want to crush a scholar, but it's just a matter of talking.
Yan Li understood: "So if we don't solve the Kang family issue completely, our help will only cause trouble for the scholar's family."
"Yes."
"In that case, this princess will give the emperor and the queen a big gift." Yan Li stood up and walked into the house, "It's not good to be empty-handed when you first arrive."
Hearing this, Chen Qingfeng's face changed slightly: "Princess, the Kang family has a very close relationship with the second prince. If you touch the Kang family, you will offend the second prince-"
"What if you offend him?" Yan Li turned her head and looked at him, her eyes cold, "Since he is a prince, the people of Jin are at least his people. As a prince, shouldn't he be on behalf of the people? Do something? Even if he doesn't love the people, he can still use his status to restrain the behavior of his grandparents and make them abide by the law, right? "
Chen Qingfeng lowered his head: "The Kang family is powerful and influential, and I am worried that the princess will fall into danger."
Yan Li did not comment: "In addition to the Kang family, Yanling has two other families?"
"Yes." Chen Qingfeng nodded, "Fifteen years ago, the Wei family, the Xu family and the Kang family were the three major families that were equally matched. After the prince got into trouble, the Kang family was silent for a while. Many people thought that the Kang family would be implicated and then disappear from the three major families in Yanling." M.
But the facts are often unexpected.
Not only did the Kang family not disappear, but it recovered as the abandoned prince regained power, and became more and more popular after more and more contacts with the second prince Yan Chen. In addition to many descendants of the family being admitted to the court, there are also some business dealings in the big family.
With help from the court, the industry naturally developed smoothly. Under the intentional or unintentional suppression of the Kang family and the second prince, the momentum of the Xu family and the Wei family was not as strong as before.
"How do the Xu family and the Wei family do things?"
Chen Qingfeng was about to speak, but he heard footsteps outside.
A personal soldier came quickly and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, Mrs. Kang sent someone to say that a grand family banquet was held in the mansion, and the princess was invited to visit."
Yan Li narrowed his eyes, Hongmen Banquet?
"Princess." Chen Qingfeng frowned, "They are inviting the princess to a banquet at this time, I'm afraid they have bad intentions."
"I know." Yan Li said, and ordered lightly, "Call the messenger in."
"Yes."
After a while, a maid in green came in, led by the maid of the inn, and bowed to Yan Li: "I see the princess."
After speaking, she quietly raised her head and looked at Yan Li.
Yan Li said indifferently: "Your wife invited me to be a guest?"
"Yes." The maid bowed her head, "Please do me the honor, Princess."
Yan Li smiled and said, "What is your identity?"
The maid in green was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
"You, the Kang family, are so arrogant that you sent a maid to invite me?"
The maid in green changed her face: "I-"
Yan Li's tone became even colder: "The rules of the Kang family are even more different. A maid can't even bow to me when she sees me?"
The maid in green turned pale and looked at Yan Li hurriedly.
"The little princess is really arrogant!" A cold voice sounded, and Kang Zihui, the third son of the Kang family, who had been shouting outside the gate for an incense stick of time, walked in, followed by several blue guards, "You hurt my eldest son of the Kang family without knowing the truth, and you want us to kneel down and beg the princess to come to your house as a guest?"
Yan Li turned her eyes slightly and looked at the young man who walked in coldly.
He was wearing a dark green brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. He was tall and not ugly, and could even be described as elegant.
But at this moment, his arrogant eyes fell on Yan Li's face, with an undisguised look of contempt, as if he was looking at a country girl who came from some unknown corner.
Yan Li brushed her sleeves and said calmly, "Mr. Kang, are you going to charge me with a crime?"
"I dare not." Kang Zihui narrowed his eyes, "Even if you are a princess, you should not allow your subordinates to hurt my brother."
"So what if they beat me?" Yan Li raised her eyes, and a chill lingered on her eyebrows, "Do you dare to commit treason?"
Kang Zihui met her cold eyes, his eyes were fine, and he couldn't help but smile sinisterly, "The princess probably doesn't know the background of the Yanling Kang family."
Yan Li said coldly, "Do you want to talk to me?"
"The Kang family and the current second prince are the closest relatives." When Kang Zihui said this, he stared at Yan Li's eyes, trying to see some fear in her eyes, "The princess just came back from Mu State. I wonder if she was so arrogant and tactless in Mu State before?"
Yan Li's eyes turned cold: "This princess only knows that the king is the leader of the ministers. You, as the son of a minister of Jin, dare to be so disrespectful to this princess. Come here!"
A figure flashed before his eyes like a ghost.
Kang Zihui was alert and was about to take precautions when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee: "Ah!"
Bang!
He knelt on the ground without any resistance, and the pain made his eyes black and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Third Young Master!" The attendant's face changed drastically, and he hurried over to help him up, "Third Young Master!"
"You are so insolent!" Another attendant subconsciously drew his sword and looked at Yan Li coldly, "Even if you are a princess, you are just a powerless princess. You have offended our eldest and third sons as soon as you came to Yanling. Your Highness, do you plan to leave Yanling?"
"How dare a servant to bully me in front of me." Yan Li's eyes were cold, "Qin Shiyuan."
"I am here!"
"Whip him!" Yan Li pointed at Kang Zihui and said coldly, "It is his master's fault that the servant is rude! The Kang family does not distinguish between the high and the low, and condones the servant to be insolent in front of me. Today, I will teach him a lesson on behalf of the emperor and the queen."
