Zhang Ronghua thought that he had a good self-control. No matter what kind of temptation he faced, he could always stick to his heart and remain unmoved like a rock.
But now, he was shaken. With his eyesight, he only took a quick glance. It was as if he was scanning the Empress’s beauty, and he lowered his head. A glance can topple a city, and a second glance can topple a country.
At this moment.
He understood a little bit about the legendary King Zhou of Shang in his previous life. No wonder he defeated a huge country when facing Su Daji!
He had never seen how beautiful Su Daji was, but the Empress’s beauty was right in front of his eyes. She was naturally charming like a demon. She was lying on her side and only her legs moved occasionally, but the temptation she brought was huge. It was as if there was a demonic voice seducing him in his mind, making him reach out his evil claws and do some indescribable things.
He kept to his heart and did not think about her.
No matter how beautiful she was, she was just a pink skeleton. Under the strong will, her figure gradually disappeared from his mind.
The Empress was quite surprised. Her phoenix eyes rolled a few times. From the moment Zhang Ronghua came in until now, when the palace maid opened the bead curtain, his every move was under her scrutiny, including his hasty glance just now. She lowered her head and did not even look at him from the corner of her eye.
She was very confident in her own beauty. As long as it was a man, even if he lost two taels of flesh, he would still be tempted by this erotic scene. He would be mesmerized by her and lose his composure. In the worst case, he would stare at her and be unable to look away, revealing the appearance of a pig.
From here.
Zhang Ronghua’s willpower was stronger than he had imagined. That was why he was able to ignore the erotic scene in front of him and remain unmoved.
In her heart, she once again thought highly of him. Only those who could resist temptation could go further.
If not, he would not be able to achieve great things in the end, let alone hold an important position.
She glanced at Su Qiutang without leaving a trace. The latter nodded at her and blinked her almond-shaped eyes, as if saying,” See that?” His will is stronger than you think.
The flip-flops stepped on the ground, emitting a ” tap tap ” sound. A fragrant wind blew, and Su Qiutang stopped in front of him with a natural smile.”Relax, don’t be too nervous. There are no outsiders here.”
“Yes!” Zhang Ronghua replied.
He raised his head and did not look at the Empress. No matter how beautiful she was, it had nothing to do with him.
Su Qiutang handed the painting over with a faint smile.””You know him?” “From the handwriting on the cover, it looks like it was made by me.”
“You’re really honest. You don’t mind at all.”
“Aren’t you afraid that these paintings will become the target of the censor’s attacks as your official position gets higher and higher?” Su Qiutang asked after a pause.”
“It’s just a few paintings, and the Imperial Court didn’t explicitly forbid it. If painting was also wrong, then wouldn’t it be even more wrong for them to have three wives and four concubines?”
“What about reputation?”
Zhang Ronghna’s expression did not change- When he had guessed their
intentions just now, he had already come up with a countermeasure. Just as he had said, what was a mere painting?
Compared to the literati, concubines were like clothes. Exchanging them was like drinking water.
Moreover…
The higher his status, the stronger the ability he displayed. Unless his head was kicked by a donkey, no censor would dare to jump out and attack him with the painting. Unless the censor could not be moved by beauty and only had a wife, otherwise, whoever dared to mention it would shoot themselves in the foot without even doing anything.
On the contrary, he would completely offend him. With his status and power at that time, criticizing his censor would only make him feel good in court. After the court session, he would have to worry about whether he could sleep well and whether his family could see the sun tomorrow.
“Rumors are in the hands of those in power. It’s like black and white. When ordinary people see it as black, it’s black. But when those in power say it’s white, it’s white. It was like a deer. Everyone knew that it was a deer, but if a big shot said that it was a horse, then it was a horse! Even if it’s not a horse, it has to become a horse.”
Pa! Pa!
Su Qiutang smiled and clapped. He also saw things very clearly! You did well to make Ding Yi stop in time and let this matter end here. Just like you said, if anyone wants to make a fuss about this matter in the future, they have to see if they are qualified enough.”
With a sudden change in the topic, the words that came out of his mouth were a little colder.
“There is a palace maid called Ji Chunhua in the palace. Her painting skills have reached the acme of perfection in the fourth realm. The indecent paintings she makes are very popular among the upper echelons in the capital. The painting you copied previously was made by her.”
“I understand!”
“You don’t need to understand. She’s already gone.”
Zhang Ronghua remained silent and pretended not to understand the meaning behind her words.
Su Qiutang did not let him off so easily. She extended her hand and clapped twice. A Phoenix Guard lady, who was not wearing a phoenix robe but a fiery red dress, walked in from outside. She wore a pair of red embroidered shoes, earrings, and hairpins. She stopped beside him and bowed with cupped fists. “Greetings, Empress, Lord Sul”
Su Qiutang signaled her to turn around and reveal her face.
Following her instructions, the Phoenix Guard woman turned around and revealed her face.
To be able to stand out among the Phoenix Guards and be chosen by Su Qiutang, her beauty was one in a million. If one disregarded her status, just in terms of appearance, she was comparable to Ning Xue..
