Chapter 77, "Apology."

In the room, Lan Ruofeng raised his head and asked, "Sister Hua, where did you copy to?"
Hualuo waved the pen in her hand and didn't look at Lan Ruofeng: "Almost finished copying."
"Wow, so fast." Lan Ruofeng also sped up.
Just then, the general's wife walked in with a cup of tea in her hand, but she was stopped by Zhan Xing: "Stop."
General's wife smiled and said, "Ifeng, why haven't you made a cup of tea for His Highness after all this time? I came here to serve tea to His Highness."
"His Highness doesn't want tea. Who gave you the authority to act on your own?" Zhan Xing said with a cold face, "Take your things and leave quickly."
Who knows that the general's wife is not discouraged. Seeing Zhang Xing's obvious attitude, countless images flashed through her mind, becoming even more uneasy. She decided to give it her all and shouted loudly, "Ruo Feng, Ruo Feng!"
"You...!"
Zhanxing did not expect that the wife of a general would be so rude. She even said to leave quickly and still wanted to force her way inside. It seems that she does not regard Her Highnesses highly.
The more Zhangxing tried to prevent the general's wife from entering, the more she wanted to see what the two of them were doing, and finally broke into the room.
Hualuo and Lan Ruofeng were sitting far away in the room, using a pen to transcribe something.
Hualuo put down the pen in her hand, as she had almost finished copying.
Looking at the general's wife who suddenly burst in, she calmly said, "Is this the way the general's mansion treats its guests?"
The general's wife hurriedly smiled and said, "It is like this, Your Highness. We were extremely worried when you arrived, afraid that we would not be able to entertain you properly. Your Highness and the young child have been inside the house for so long... um, the young child also did not serve tea to Your Highness, which is really disrespectful. That's why I specifically came to deliver the tea."
“一时间冒失,还请殿下恕罪。”
“那你未免也太冒失了。”
花落随口一句话,却让将军夫人心里一惊。
不过还好,花萝我重新拿起了手中的笔,语气平和:“送都送来了,放下吧。”
Blue Ruo Feng also put down his pen and complained discontentedly: "Mom, what are you doing? Sister Hua and I are still transcribing the Second Style of Dreaming a Thousand Times, and you suddenly came in and disturbed us."
“是,臣妇这就告退。”
将军夫人这才退了出去。
花萝抬起头来,与瞻星对视一眼,都没有说什么。
将军夫人松了一口气,同时忍不住想,太子又如何,只是个小姑娘,就算冒犯还不是照样只能睁一只眼闭一只眼。
Meanwhile, the general's wife has a crisis, feeling that her son should absolutely not be involved with this girl, even if she is the crown prince.
Even if she is the crown prince, so what? She is not suitable for Ruofeng, and she cannot let the situation continue to develop.
After a while, Hualuo finished copying the second form of "Qian Yi" and still stayed in Lanhong's courtyard, chatting and unwilling to leave.
The General's wife, who had been watching the situation in the courtyard, became anxious again, but she didn't want to go and see what Hualuo and Lanhong were doing.
Flowerluo has got everything she wants, why doesn't she leave? Could it be that she really intends to stay in Lan Ruofeng's courtyard today?
Once again, the General's wife came to Lan Ruofeng's courtyard. Lan Ruofeng, who was chatting happily with Flowerluo, immediately straightened up his casual sitting posture upon seeing the General's wife. He put away his smile and looked melancholy.
Does he rarely have the opportunity to spend time alone with Miss Hua? Does his mother have to interfere?
General's wife took over the position of chatting with Lan Ruofeng and Hua Luo. She first engaged in some meaningless conversation, but Hua Luo didn't pay much attention. The General's wife was bored the whole time.
Finally, we come to the real topic that the General's wife wants to discuss.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an announcement and recruited a top-tier alchemist to refine the Structura Pill?"
Finally getting to the point, Hualuo nodded, "That's correct, there is indeed such a thing. I wonder what opinions the General's wife has on this?"
Hualuo's tone was quite serious. Hearing the word "teach," the general's wife felt that Hualuo's attitude was humble and did not deter her from continuing.
"I dare not assume to teach. It is just this humble servant's personal opinion that it is unnecessary and instead burdensome to the people and harmful to the finances. Of course, this is only the humble servant's personal view. If Your Highness does not wish to hear it, the humble servant will remain silent."
"There's nothing like that." Hualuo quickly spins her pen with one hand, looking like she's eagerly listening. "Actually, I would like to hear the opinion of the General's wife. If the wife says so."
"It's nothing, the concubine just feels that giving birth to a child is a necessary test for women. It's not reasonable to get pregnant with Justic Chen's help and have the child come out immediately."
"Looking at all the women, aren't they all the same? Even Your Majesty didn't use Justic Chen and still gave birth to the Crown Prince. Although the pregnancy and delivery are hard, if a woman doesn't go through these experiences, her life won't be complete."
As Lady General kept on talking incessantly, Hualuo blurted out, "This is your opinion, but it doesn't represent all women. Everyone has different thoughts. This prince doesn't believe that one's life is incomplete without experiencing the pain of childbirth."
The general's wife twitched her mouth: "Although that is true, conceiving too easily without experiencing the actual pain of a ten-month pregnancy and the agony of childbirth may inevitably lead to a lack of deep and strong mother-child bond."
花萝眼眸流转:“照你这么说,那天底下的父亲都没有切切实实经过怀胎之苦,分娩之痛,难道他们和自己的孩子关系不亲厚?”
The general's wife didn't know how to respond and thought to herself that she had heard before that the crown prince was eloquent. Now it seems truly impressive, the angles he takes to answer questions are really tricky.
"Has the lady finished speaking?"
Hualuo asked considerately after finishing.
The general's wife nodded.
"If it's finished, it's the prince's turn to speak."
The general's wife heard that Hualuo's tone was a bit off, and she was about to speak when Hualuo's words came crashing down.
"Decades ago, the queen mother enacted new laws, and the Kingdom of Tianqi implemented a new system where the public can freely voice their opinions. It is a good thing that the general's wife could speak so sincerely to the crown prince, but..."
Floralo turned around and pushed the general's wife into the abyss: "What you just said, my highness finds it uncomfortable."
"Although the system of the Tianqi Kingdom is lenient, there are still national laws and family rules. Without rules, there can be no order. Zhanxing, what is Article 24 of the national law?"
The Zhanxing Station stood up and recited with a strong voice the 24th article of the National Law of Tianqi Kingdom: "The majesty of heaven shall not be violated, and the Emperor and Crown Prince of Tianqi Kingdom still possess the absolute power over the life and death of all subjects. All subjects shall not rashly discuss the royal family or question any decision made by the royal family. Those who violate this rule and have serious consequences shall be executed!"
With a thud, the general's wife fell to the ground, her face turning pale. The servant hurriedly helped her up.
Zhanxing continued, "According to Article 12 of the Laws of the Tianqi Kingdom, there is a distinction between the ruler and his subjects. When conversing, subjects must be mindful of showing respect and not speaking too much or too little. It is absolutely forbidden to speak in a disrespectful manner, and those who do so can be charged with treason and sentenced to death."
"It seems that the General's wife has been speaking a bit too much and questioning his Highness's decision. Can this be considered as disrespectful?"
The General's wife was immediately frightened upon hearing this, as she wondered what will happen to the General's household. A genuine fear arose within her as she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Just now, just now..."
"You don't have to say anything." Hualuo interrupted the conversation of the general's wife and stood up from the chair. "If we handle this in accordance with the national law, it will make the crown prince appear unreasonable. No matter what, General Lan and the young master Lan have both helped the crown prince, and it wouldn't be right for the crown prince to forget their kindness."
"But now I, the imperial prince, feel uncomfortable. Since it was the fault of the general's wife alone, then she can just admit her mistake and that will be the end of it."
"Zhan Xing chuckled in a mischievous manner, using his typical trick of enticing the pig out before killing it."
The general's wife was about to apologize verbally, but Zhanxing interrupted and said, "Wait, normally speaking, if you want to apologize properly, don't you need to remove your hairpin as a sign of apology?"
The general's wife turned her head and looked around, only to see that all the people around were servants of the general's mansion. She always paid great attention to her appearance, and now she had to remove her hairpin as a sign of apology in front of so many people. It was really...
However, she suddenly realized that she was facing the future crown prince who had the power to control life and death in the entire Kingdom of Tianqi. She was really overestimating herself, dare to comment on the prince's decision.
In this way, the general's wife clenched her teeth and took off all the hairpins and hair accessories from her head, scattering them on the floor. With her hair in a disheveled state, resembling wild grass, she was about to apologize to Lulu for her actions.
Zhan Xing walked over and casually pulled at the clothes of the general's wife: "This garment seems to be exclusive attire for the family members of a second-ranked official. Since the general's wife is sincerely admitting her mistake, it appears rather insincere for her to be wearing such extravagant and beautiful clothing."
While Zhangxing was speaking, he skillfully removed the general's wife's outer robe.
The general's wife screamed in fright. By the time she reacted, she felt a chilling breeze enveloping her from all sides, leaving only her white undergarments on her body.
The body, which is gradually becoming bloated, is clearly visible on weekdays.
In particular, the general's wife feels even more embarrassed when she sees so many guards and servants around her.
"Sister Hua!"
Seeing his own mother being publicly stripped naked with disheveled hair and kneeling there, completely exposed, Lan Ruofeng couldn't bear to watch anymore.
But his words were stopped by a look from Hua Luo.
"Alright, now you can apologize to this prince."
The general's wife held her arms tightly, trembling in the wind. "Your Highness, I beg for your forgiveness."
"Forget about it, considering that it's your first offense, this prince will show mercy and let you off the hook this time. But if this kind of situation happens again, don't blame this prince for handling it according to the laws of the country."
As soon as Huaruo finished speaking, the trembling maid next to the general's wife hurriedly fetched a coat for her and supported her as they walked away.
Seeing the general's wife with a red nose and a disheveled appearance from the cold, Zhanxing felt secretly pleased. She had long been displeased with this general's wife, and Aluo had finally dealt with her.
Hua Luo glanced at Lan Ruofeng beside her, her gaze following the figure of the general's wife as she walked away. The general's wife occasionally turned her head to look at Lan Ruofeng, tears welling up in her eyes, with a look of being betrayed.
Blue Ruofeng's eyes are also wet.
