Zhangzhi Hall.
After reading the imperial decree in the morning, Concubine Xiao was extremely happy.
Let the maids bring some flowers and plant them in their own small garden.
The flowers in the yard are growing well.
Some flowers have passed the flowering season and are still kept there and are well cared for, and some early autumn flowers are blooming just right.
She held a flower seed in her hand and buried it in the soil.
While saying, "This season is the most suitable for growing flowers, and the flowers that bloom are absolutely gorgeous."
The palace maid was beside her, "The flowers raised by the maid are the most beautiful in the palace."
"Really?"
"Of course, the goddess is ingenious. Under the care of the goddess, these flowers are blooming beautifully."
"You little girl, you have a sweet mouth, and this palace will reward you with a box of candied fruit."
"Thank you madam."
The little palace maid was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. You must know that it was a great honor to be rewarded by Concubine Xiao!
How many people can't ask for it.
The little palace maid seemed to want to order some more rewards, so she continued with a smile, "The queen must be very happy with King Yi's wedding, right? The girl from the Ji family doesn't know what kind of luck she has cultivated to marry King Yi. Also the princess."
"Fortune?"
"Isn't it? The slaves heard that there are many ministers who support King Yi in the court now."
"Listen to whoever said that."
"Many people, Yi Wang is so smart and deeply liked by the emperor, the empress is also blessed."
"How is this palace blessed?" Although Concubine Xiao still had a smile on her face, the smile became even more terrifying.
The palace maids next to her noticed the strangeness, and their faces showed fear and anxiety in their hearts.
But the little palace maid didn't realize anything, and said flatteringly, "King Yi became the prince, and the empress, of course, is more expensive than the mother."
Mother is expensive with child!
That's right.
Concubine Xiao twisted the flower seed that had not been buried in the soil in her hand, and that small section of flower branch was immediately broken.
Squeeze.
The little palace maid finally realized that she had said something wrong, and her face turned pale after a swipe.
Taking a few steps back, he buried his head deeply, and said, "Slave... The slave has said the wrong thing."
Concubine Xiao hid the knife with a smile, "Wrong? Where is the mistake?"
"Wrong..." She couldn't even tell where she was wrong, she panicked, and hesitantly said, "The slave's talkativeness makes the mother-in-law displeased. It's the slave's fault."
Ha ha.
Concubine Xiao stretched out her hand, pinched the palace maid's chin, and lifted it up sharply,
The palace maid's gaze fell on Concubine Xiao's, and she quickly moved away, trembling all over her body.
However, Concubine Xiao's red lips were still raised, pinching the maid's chin and swinging it left and right, as if admiring an object, her smile tightened a little bit, and her eyebrows slowly frowned.
"Niangniang? Slaves..."
"What are you nervous about? Ben Gong won't chop your head off."
"Uh… "
After Concubine Xiao let go, the palace maid immediately lowered her head.
"Raise your head." The voice was cold.
The maid looked up again.
Frightened eyes straightened, forehead sweating.
Concubine Xiao suddenly picked up the scissors she had put aside, and pressed the sharp end against the palace maid's face.
Push your fingers hard.
The scissors moved down with her hand and cut a hole in the little palace maid's face.
"Ah! Empress..."
"Don't call, don't move."
"Uh!"
A pair of scissors hit the bottom.
A slit was cut open on her tender face like this, and blood flowed out of the cut flesh and onto her neck, clothes, and the ground...
A blood red.
The palace maids next to them were too frightened to speak out, and they were all terrified.
Concubine Xiao took the scissors and threw them on the ground.
The palace maid handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
The little palace maid endured the pain, knelt on the ground, supported her hands weakly, and cried, "I beg your goddess for mercy, slave... slave knows it's wrong."
Tears mixed with blood on his face.
Concubine Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"
She still couldn't answer.
Where did you go wrong
Isn't that right? With King Yi gaining power, isn't Concubine Xiao not a mother and a child
But her lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word.
Concubine Xiao's eyes widened, with a biting coolness, she lowered her eyes, stared at the shivering maid on the ground, and said, "It's good to be greedy, but you can't be too greedy, otherwise, you will be provoked. to kill you."
greedy!
The little palace maid understood.
"I'll teach you a little lesson today. The wedding of King Yi is a happy event. This king will not want your life, but next time, this palace will let people tear your mouth apart."
"Slave maids don't dare any more... Xie Niangniang is kind, Xie Niangniang is forgiving."
The little palace maid burst into tears.
Concubine Xiao covered her nose with her hand, "It's really bad luck, it was a good day, but you've messed it up."
At this time, Sang Lan came over. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was slightly startled, and then immediately reported, "Niangniang, the wedding ceremony for the princess' marriage has been prepared by the Ministry of Rites, so you can read the list."
She handed over a booklet.
Concubine Xiao opened it and saw that the gifts written on it were very precious, much more precious than what the emperor gave to Ji Muqing.
After a few glances, she closed the gift list and asked, "How about the princess?"
"Hui Niangniang, the princess has been very quiet recently, neither noisy nor noisy."
Got it!
"That's good."
She squinted again at the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered, "Take her to bandage, and don't let blood stain the main hall of this palace."
"Yes."
After giving the order, Concubine Xiao left with Sang Lan.
As soon as the person left, the little palace maid fell to the ground. The ground was covered in blood, and it felt like a river of blood.
Several palace maids quickly helped her up.
One of them said, "You're the real thing. When you first came to our palace, you were open-mouthed. If the empress didn't kill you, it would be your fate."
She covered her bleeding face and cried, "How do I know this?"
"Didn't the person who got involved tell you? Don't talk nonsense in front of Concubine Xiao. I'd rather say nothing, listen to nothing, don't want any reward, and don't talk too much."
She is a girl who has just entered the palace, how does she know this.
"You, next time you have more intentions, this time the king's wedding, the empress will let you go."
"I… I see."
"When you go to the imperial pharmacy later, you will say that you have fallen, but you must not say that it is the goddess, otherwise, you will not want your life."
"Um."
She went to the Imperial Pharmacy with the help of someone.
It is said that Concubine Xiao is kind and good to people. The girls in the palace have received a lot of rewards. She thinks that she has a sweet mouth. If she goes, she will definitely get more rewards. Concubine Xiao did reward her with a candied fruit, and thought that she had followed the right master.
where to know—
It is clearly the heart of a snake!
This also tells us that being human, we must not be greedy.
Otherwise, extremes will be reversed
