Chapter 220 Iron-Eating Beast
Chapter 220 Iron-Eating Beast
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Qi has caused trouble again."
"Go over there and tell me what's going on."
Qin Zhi pinned a 200-pound iron-eating beast to the ground and let it chew the grass. The beast's struggles, which were fierce at first, gradually weakened, and it lay on the ground motionless.
Qin Zhi loosened his hands and feet and got off the iron-eating beast. He brushed off the dust and opened his arms to let the palace servants clean the grass and animal hair off his body.
After washing his hands, Qin Zhi watched with interest as the guards stuffed the still struggling iron-eating beast into a cage that was too flashy for the beast.
The cage was made of iron, with thick bamboo leaves stacked on top and bottom, full of the fragrance of bamboo, but there was not a single bamboo or bamboo shoot.
The iron-eating beast lay there angrily, not moving at all.
Zhang Deli saw Qin Zhi had finished packing and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qin Zhi.
"Hey, wait a minute, someone, get me some longer bamboo shoots.
Zhang Deli, you know what, the iron-eating beast sent by Madam Yiguo is indeed much cuter than an ordinary black bear. Seeing her chic demeanor, I also want to go out for a walk."
Qin Zhi teased the iron-eating beast in the cage with bamboo shoots and exclaimed in admiration.
After Lady Lu Liniang of the State of Yi was recruited by Qin Zhi, she traveled around with the caravan over the years, riding horses and carriages. She developed two buttocks of steel, her skin was tanned to a healthy bronze color, and her mentality became much more cheerful.
While she traveled all over the world to help Qin Zhi make money, she also kept a group of male lovers and lived a free and easy life.
Qin Zhi had someone polish Lu Liniang's experience into a storybook, intending to give her a copy as a family heirloom when she was old, and then take another copy with other interesting information to polish the story and bury it in the imperial tomb.
Qin Zhi admired such an extraordinary woman.
As long as Lu Li'niang sticks to herself and doesn't foolishly get involved in the vortex of fighting for the throne, she can easily enjoy wealth and glory.
But her sister Lu Xinyin is not a pushover, and the sixth prince born to Lu Xinyin is also very smart.
Qin Zhi suddenly remembered what Zhang Deli had told him about the Sixth Prince's little tricks after they returned to Zhaozheng Palace that day, and chuckled.
Xiaoliu was still a little naive. He thought about things he shouldn't have at such a young age, and was sold to Qin Zhi by Zhang Deli.
The bamboo shoot that was lying in a puddle of hair sat up, snatched the bamboo shoot that Qin Zhi handed to it, and gnawed it fiercely.
But in Qin Zhi's eyes, she looked very cute.
"I told you, the iron-eating beast must be hungry. Tell me, what trouble has my fake sister and real aunt caused again?" Qin Zhi happily watched the iron-eating beast chewing on bamboo shoots.
"Yesterday was the day when Concubine Hui's biological father Meng Liu was buried. This morning, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qi, Master Meng, and Master Meng Xingye were found lying together in dishevel."
Zhang Deli suppressed his contempt for the two and said with a serious expression.
Not only was his clothes in disarray, he was completely naked.
"What?" Qin Zhi raised his head in surprise.
Qin Zhi knew that Meng Liuyu had passed away due to illness a month ago, so he specially gave Meng Xinghe a small iron beast that had not yet been weaned to comfort her.
Yesterday, Meng Liu's funeral was held, and Qin Zhi specially issued an order to Meng Xinghe to allow her to go up to the city wall to mourn her biological father from afar.
As for Meng Wuyue, she was already Meng Song's daughter, so Qin Zhi didn't count her in his calculations. Since he had cut ties with the past, there was no need to cling to it and get entangled with it any longer.
This happened suddenly today. Is Princess Qin Miaoyin of Qi State so crazy? Not really.
For ordinary people, a year of national mourning has already passed.
But Qin Miaoyin is not an ordinary citizen. She is the eldest princess. Although she was not born to the empress dowager, according to etiquette and law, she is the empress dowager's daughter and needs to observe filial piety for her mother. On the other hand, Meng Xingye, who is in mourning for his father and is in deep mourning, actually has an affair with a woman who is also observing filial piety for her mother without a matchmaker?
