Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng was half-convinced, half-doubtful: "There's such a great thing? Wouldn't that mean the sense of ritual for the wedding night is gone?"

Li Yuanzhao turned his head and chuckled: "What do you big men need a sense of ritual for? Which imperial son-in-law doesn't go through this? I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going back to the East Palace to catch up on some sleep. We'll go to the Eastern Suburbs later."

Having said that, Li Yuanzhao lifted his foot and left.

Only the little eunuch and Fang Zheng were left staring at each other.

The two looked at each other, and the little eunuch couldn't take it anymore, forcing a laugh: "Lord Fang... no, now I should call you Imperial Son-in-Law Commandant."

"Then, after you leave work tomorrow, should this servant arrange a sedan to take you to the Inner Palace?"

Fang Zheng nodded: "Okay, you can go now."

The little eunuch also left, leaving only Fang Zheng alone.

He looked at the sky, pondering in his heart.

Sleeping together before marriage, the royal family is quite fashionable. But this is too unfair to the little princess.

I, Fang Zheng, am a serious and pure man. I've been working out these past few months. My arms can handle a running horse, and my fists can hold a standing man!

Can't you tell if I'm a real man with your own eyes? There's no trust at all!

But is this appropriate? The damned Ministry of Rites didn't even send anyone to teach me.

But then he thought about getting married, and Fang Zheng felt a bit of sadness for no reason.

After messing around for two lifetimes, I've finally reached the point of getting married.

I wonder how my family is doing. Without me providing for them, is there enough money to spend...?

.....

The next evening, a sedan chair from the palace arrived on time.

Fang Zheng sat in the sedan, beaming with joy.

For the first time! For the first time, he could openly enter the Inner Palace. In the past, it was always done secretly.

This time, he finally gained some face.

The one accompanying him was still the little eunuch who delivered the imperial decree yesterday.

After the sedan landed, the little eunuch diligently lifted the curtain.

Fang Zheng slowly stepped out, stretched, and was stunned.

He looked around and said: "Huh? This isn't the Mingluan Hall, where is this?"

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Commandant, this is just a side hall. How could the pre-marital test be in the Mingluan Hall? That wouldn't be in accordance with the rites."

Fang Zheng looked around again. He didn't understand the etiquette, and seeing the princess was more important. It had been several months since he last saw her.

He casually said: "However it's arranged, that's how it is, right? Lead the way!"

The little eunuch chuckled, took a few steps forward, opened the door of the side hall, and led him to the door of a room.

"Commandant, please go in. This servant will be waiting outside. When you're finished or need anything, just call for this servant."

Fang Zheng glanced at him: "Can't you not be here? It's a bit awkward. We're going to talk, is it appropriate for you to stand at the door?"

"Lord Fang, these are the rules, please forgive me."

"Tch!"

Rules! Everywhere are these anti-human broken rules!

It seems that tonight I can only have a good chat with my dear little princess.

Shaking his head, Fang Zheng pushed open the door and entered. The little eunuch quickly closed the door behind him.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, completely different from the scent in Li Miaohan's boudoir.

Fang Zheng sniffed, looking lecherous.

What a romantic touch! They even changed the fragrance... I have to give the royal standards a thumbs up.

Rubbing his hands, Fang Zheng slowly moved to the bedside and whispered: "Your Highness, it's been a long time since we've met. Today we can finally meet. It's not that I didn't want to find you, it's just that His Majesty has ordered it. I think our wedding is imminent, so we can only follow the rites."

After speaking, there was no movement behind the bed curtains.

Fang Zheng blinked.

What's the situation? Why aren't you talking? Could it be that you're too shy?

A lewd smile appeared on the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth. He tidied his hair and straightened his official uniform.

I'll say some flirtatious things later.

Just you wait! I'll definitely charm you to death!

Fang Zheng stepped forward and slowly lifted the bed curtains, softly saying: "You're still embarrassed? You weren't like this before, my clingy little kitten~ I'm here... Holy crap!"

The scene behind the curtains suddenly appeared, and Fang Zheng was struck by lightning!

There was no Li Miaohan on the bed, only a young woman of eighteen, with bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful and moving. She was looking at him with a shy face.

Fang Zheng's Adam's apple moved up and down, he swallowed, his mind a little dazed: "Who are you?"

The woman was about to answer when the little eunuch rushed in from the door.

With a panicked expression on his face, he said: "Commandant, what happened?"

"Yes! What the hell happened? Who is she! Where's the princess?" Fang Zheng roared.

"Prin... Princess? The princess is in Mingluan Hall." The little eunuch said with a crying voice.

"Isn't this the pre-marital test? I don't even know her, what am I testing!" Fang Zheng continued to roar.

The little eunuch was dumbfounded: "Pre-marital test... isn't it just testing with a palace maid? The palace even carefully selected her for you... What did you think?"

Fang Zheng roared in his heart.

What did I think? Of course, I'd test with my wife!

"I... screw it! I'm not testing, this is not playing fair! Does that mean I have to take a strange woman home in the future?"

"If the princess agrees, it's okay, otherwise she'll stay in the palace. Lord Fang, don't you understand anything?" The little eunuch was about to collapse.

None of the previous imperial sons-in-law were like this.

He's just a reckless greenhorn who doesn't understand any rules!

"I don't understand shit! We don't even know each other, isn't that forcing a good woman into prostitution and tarnishing her reputation? I'm not testing, I'm leaving!"

Fang Zheng frowned, waved his sleeves, and left the room in a fit of anger.

I thought there would be good things tonight, but it turned out to be an officially designated one-night stand.

If that palace maid can't marry in the future, wouldn't the blame be placed on my Fang Zheng's head?

The little eunuch was frightened and rushed forward to grab Fang Zheng's sleeve, pleading: "Lord Fang... Commandant! These are all the rules of the palace, passed down from generation to generation."

"If no one tests, where will the reason go if the imperial son-in-law is not in good health in the future? This is also for the future of Her Highness the Princess."

"Bullshit! What do you take me, Fang Zheng, for! Who doesn't know that I, Fang Zheng, am a gentleman inside and outside the capital? You want me to do this kind of thing, it's damaging my personality! My pure soul cannot be tarnished!"

"Commandant! I beg you, just try it! If you can't even do this little thing well, I'm afraid I'll lose my life when I go back. This servant knows that you are a well-known great gentleman, can you help this servant get through this?" The little eunuch said with a miserable expression.

Crap? Moral kidnapping? I'm the only one who kidnaps others!

"Let go!" Fang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, pulled his official uniform with force, leaving only a back view for the little eunuch.

......

Half an hour later, the little eunuch knelt before Emperor Jing, with Guo Tianyang accompanying him.

The two silently listened to the little eunuch's crying.

"......, In the end, Lord Fang refused to comply even if he died, and finally left." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he cautiously raised his head, secretly observing Guo Tianyang's reaction.

He saw Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang frowning together. After a while, Guo Tianyang leaned close to Emperor Jing and cautiously said: "Your Majesty... could it be that Lord Fang doesn't like women?"
