Concubine Xu has never been beaten before at such a big age, and she was directly stunned.
She looked at Concubine Liu's people helplessly, like a hungry wolf entering a flock of sheep and smashing her house into a mess. She screamed and scolded, and wanted to rush to fight back, but was stopped by the people around Concubine Liu.
Now Concubine Xu doesn't have many people around her, so there is no one to help her, and they all just watch from the sidelines.
"You are so courageous, you actually did it in front of the father-in-law in the palace!" Concubine Xu threatened, and turned her eyes to the servants for help, but found that the eunuch who read out the imperial decree was looking at something, Didn't look this way at all.
"So what if I hit you? I hit you!"
Concubine Liu sneered, and didn't take her away until everything in Concubine Xu's room was smashed to pieces.
Concubine Xu's face flushed red, looking at the mess, her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.
"My lord, please prepare quickly, our family is still waiting to go back to the palace for business."
Immediately, Concubine Xu didn't think about it any more, she smiled forcedly, and said: "Eunuch, wait a moment, I will order someone to clean it up."
Don't look at those girls who are useless just now, but they are good at packing things, and they are all packed in a short while. In fact, Concubine Xu didn't have anything to pack, only some clothes and jewelry on the left.
Back at Lingboxuan, Concubine Liu burst into tears that she was holding back.
The girl beside her looked at her worriedly, but dared not speak. It wasn't until the people in the palace came to remind me that this side started to pack things.
Concubine Liu seemed to have something on her mind, her brows were deeply furrowed, until the maids were all tidied up, she finally let out a sigh of relief like a dream.
"Ma'am..."
She stood up and held up a smile: "Let's go."
The carriages that came to pick up people from the palace were all waiting at the side door, Concubine Liu walked slowly, step by step, wishing that this road would never end.
A girl ran over from the side of the road in a hurry, and said to her with a hasty smile: "Fortunately, this servant is not late, this is a letter from Madam to Empress."
Concubine Liu took the letter and stared at it blankly, until she was gently touched by someone around her, then she hurriedly stuffed the letter in her sleeve and walked forward again.
With the sound of the carriage, Concubine Liu in the carriage burst into tears, and quickly wet the letter in her hand, blurring the ink on it.
"Girl..." Qingci cried out worriedly.
This is what the concubine Liu called her when she was still in the boudoir. This time Concubine Liu entered the palace, the people around her could only bring two people, so she brought celadon and green fan, these two girls who had been serving her since she was a child.
Concubine Liu finally couldn't restrain herself, she grabbed Qingci's hand and fell into her arms, muttering: "He said he was waiting for me, he said he was waiting for me, but how can I wait, how can I wait..."
"Girl..."
There were two rows of people standing outside the door of the bedroom, a row of maids, and a row of eunuchs, all about the same height, short, fat, and thin, holding handkerchiefs, copper basins, kettles, etc. in their hands.
Fucheng was holding Fuchen in his arms, pacing back and forth a little anxiously.
It's almost midnight, but His Majesty still hasn't gotten up, and it's almost time for the morning court. Usually, His Majesty would get up at Yinshi, but today something happened, and Fu Cheng didn't dare to go inside. The Empress is inside, who knows if there will be some untimely scenes. Especially with His Majesty's habit, if he gets up, he will call someone.
"Boss Fu, the water is already cold." A young eunuch holding a copper basin said pitifully. Thanks to his well-trained training, he has been holding the copper basin filled with water for almost two quarters of an hour, and his arms didn't even shake. If it were someone else, he would have been unable to hold on at this moment.
Fucheng waved his hand, "Are you still using our family to explain? Go and change it, maybe someone will be called inside soon."
The little eunuch didn't dare to delay immediately, and hurried out holding the water basin.
In the hall, the water-blue gauze curtain embroidered with hundreds of flowers and butterfly patterns hangs down quietly, but there has already been movement inside.
"It's getting late, you still have to go to court..."
Yao Niang pinched the corner of the quilt and said in a low voice, for fear that the voice would be too loud and people outside would hear it.
Emperor Jin'an didn't speak, but ate her earlobe with his hidden mouth.
The strong masculine breath filled his nostrils, it belonged to him alone, no matter how Yaoniang would not admit it. The lips that wrapped around her earballs were domineering and greedy, and the movements below were too ruthless, as if the two were enemies in the previous life.
"It's really getting late, Your Majesty..."
She seemed to be crying and begging, earnestly, he turned her around, and Yaoniang went up by herself somehow. She patted his bare chest twice with all her strength on her forearm, and he grabbed her hand off. Unexpectedly, she slammed into his arms fiercely, her nose sore, tears almost didn't come out.
But at this moment, he exerted his strength and pinched her buttocks fiercely to vent his hatred. After a long time, he gasped and let her go flat on the couch, and sat up by himself.
"You sleep, I'm going to court."
The curtain was opened and then lowered, he had already gone out, there was a burst of movement outside, Yao Niang was lying on the couch angrily.
It's all like this, how can you sleep!
It wasn't until the outside became quiet again that Yaoniang sat up and put on her clothes. She was thin-skinned, and she was always afraid of being seen by the maids, so she put the bed together indiscriminately before raising her voice to call out.
Generally, those who enter the temple to serve in the morning are the old people around Yaoniang. Now Yuchan is the aunt in charge of the Kunning Palace, and the four reds are all in charge of the maids. Hearing the voice inside, Yu Chan and Hong Si Hong Die led a few little maids and filed in. After Hongdie led the people to prepare water, she let a few young maids go out, and Yaoniang went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Getting up and taking a shower every morning has become a habit without knowing when.
After a while, it was already bright outside, Yao Niang was sitting in front of the dressing table wearing only purple underwear, and asked lazily: "The two princes have gone to the study?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Now Erbao is having fun too, and goes to the study with his brother every day. But this little guy is not going to study, but to play with his friends.
After Emperor Jin'an came to the throne, the study room was not cancelled, and the young princes in the prince's mansions were still in charge of studying. The new emperor has spoken, the princes have to respect whether they like it or not.
On the contrary, there were fewer people than before, and the rebellion against the king failed, and the entire palace suffered. Although it was not as bad as his wife and children in the royal family, the behavior of rebelling against the king was too shocking to the world. The Emperor Taishang personally sent a message to demote Ni Wang to a commoner, and Ni Wang's lineage was naturally affected, and was sent away from the capital, and imprisoned in Dai Wang's mansion in the original Daizhou.
The red silk took the jade comb and combed Yaoniang's hair from head to tail. Yaoniang's hair was like the finest satin, and the messy hair was combed smoothly, and it was very smooth.
"Your Majesty, Pin Liu and Lady Xu Gui will come to greet you later."
Hearing this, Yaoniang remembered that she always thought she had forgotten one thing, and it turned out to be this thing.
Concubine Liu and Xu Guiren were taken into the palace yesterday, and it is customary to greet the Empress of the Central Palace today.
Yaoniang only found out about this yesterday, Emperor Jin'an told her personally. Hearing this at the time, Yaoniang felt very uncomfortable, and her words and deeds inevitably tinged with jealousy, and then Emperor Jin'an told her the ins and outs.
It turned out that Emperor Jin'an originally planned to send the two of them away, and even Concubine Liu's natal family had already hinted at it. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the future, the second room of the Xu family made such a commotion, and now they are on the cusp of the limelight, the two of them naturally cannot be sent away, they can only enter the palace.
Originally, Yaoniang had been thinking about this matter in her heart, but now seeing that Emperor Jin'an wanted to dismiss her, how could she remember whether she was angry about sending her away. In this kind of concubine-loving atmosphere, all irrelevant things should be thrown out of the sky. The two spent the whole night together, and it was not too early in the morning that Emperor Jin'an was unwilling to be lonely again, and it was almost too late. .
"Come on, come on, after all, she is a concubine, so I can't miss you."
"If your empress doesn't like it, let them come less often after seeing you today. Now that the Supreme Emperor has not moved to the palace, there are all concubines living in this harem, so there will be no conflict. Xiao Shunzi said that the Household Department will send them two The people are arranged in the Cuiyun Pavilion, where they live in seclusion, leaning against the corner, and can't hinder the eyes of the empress." Seemingly afraid that Yaoniang would be angry about this, Hongsi said again.
Yao Niang nodded.
Just after finishing dressing, someone came to report that Liu Pin and Xu Guiren had arrived. But Yaoniang hadn't had breakfast yet, so she asked the two to wait first.
Yaoniang here said to wait, but the palace servants of Kunning Palace didn't lead the two into the palace, so they let them stand outside.
This is a common method used in the palace to disown someone's authority. They are all empresses, but all empresses are here to share favors, and it is normal not to show good looks, there is no need for the superiors to explain, the subordinates will do it themselves.
Xu Guiren was dressed in a water-blue palace dress, which made her look graceful and graceful. It's just that his complexion is a little haggard, and even with rouge on, he doesn't look very good.
"She has just become a queen, so she has become too airy. Who doesn't know what Su Yaoniang used to be." She lowered her voice and cleverly let the nearby concubine Liu hear it, but others couldn't.
Concubine Liu glanced at her. She sometimes thinks that Xu Yueru is ridiculous, and she treats him like a fool, such obvious provocative words, as if no one can understand the meaning of them.
In the past, Liu Pin would have listened to it, and she used to look down on this kind of person, but today she didn't know which muscle cramped, she looked at him with a sneer, and said: "Mr. Xu Gui, you are just a little girl." My nobleman, the empress will not allow you to say that. It is like this in the mansion, and the bad habits will not change after entering the palace!"
Concubine Liu didn't keep her voice down. Naturally, all the palace servants outside the palace heard her words, and all of them couldn't help but cast their gazes here.
Xu Guiren didn't expect Liu Bin to deal with her like this, she was a little stunned for a while, but she reacted quickly, and immediately retorted: "Liu Bin, although your status is higher than mine, you can't just talk nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? Who said just now that she just became a queen, she's so arrogant, who doesn't know what Su Yaoniang used to be like?" Liu Pin sneered.
As soon as these words were said, the people in Kunning Palace suddenly showed anger.
Hong Fei heard the commotion outside, and came out of the side hall, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were staring: "Mr. Xu Gui probably forgot what this place is."
And these words have already made people feel the inside, Yaoniang who was having a meal looked ugly after hearing this, and the red silk jade cicadas also showed anger.
Yaoniang took a deep breath, "If this kind of behavior is according to the palace rules, how should we deal with it?"
Yuchan and the others have been studying the palace rules a lot lately. As the queen's aunt and maid in charge, it's not uncommon for them not to understand the palace rules. So Yuchan answered quickly.
"This crime can be big or small. If it is light, it will be slapped on the mouth, and if it is serious, it will be sent to the Punishment Department. It doesn't matter if you are killed."
"Then deal with it with palm and mouth. Let them all go, I don't want to see them today."
"yes."
Soon there were bursts of crying from Xu Guiren outside, the slapping in the palace is different from other places, there are several types.
It is normal to beat with hands, and the torturer beats with bamboo slices. If anyone is not pleasing to the eye, just a little bit of hands and feet on the bamboo slices is enough for the other party to be overwhelmed and walk away. At least it takes a few months to see people, and at worst it will end in disfigurement.
However, there was no one in Kunning Palace to give orders, so it was natural to beat him with his hands, but he learned a lesson and put in all his strength. After being slapped more than ten times, Xu Guiren's cheeks were red and swollen. In front of her stood an aunt in her thirties, who said: "Mr. , there are other reasons to be respectful. This palace is different from the outside, if you don’t keep your mouth open, you might lose your life at some point.”
Xu Guiren knelt there, submissively said: "I remember."
"Look, the nobleman made a mistake again. The concubine should have remembered it. The nobleman's status is not enough, so he can only call himself a concubine."
"What my aunt taught me is that the concubine will remember it."
Aunt Qin nodded, and said again: "Your Majesty is feeling unwell today, so I won't see you two Mistresses. Juan'er, come and see the two Mistresses out."
"Yes, aunt."
It wasn't until he left the gate of Kunning Palace that Xu Gui gave Concubine Liu a hateful look, covered his face and hurried away with the maid of honor.
"Mother, look at her like this, maybe she wants to hold grudges against you." Qingci said worriedly.
Liu Pin looked at Xu Guiren's back, and said with a sneer, "Remember the grudge? I wish she would resent me, the more she hates me, the better."
Because of this incident, Yaoniang only took a few mouthfuls of breakfast before putting down her chopsticks.
"Let the servant say that the empress shouldn't be punished so lightly, and she should be taught a lesson!"
"If the empress is still angry, this servant will send someone to teach her a lesson."
Hearing this, Yaoniang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No need, I'm not angry with her, I just wonder why Concubine Liu wants to confront Xu Yanru, this has never been her character." Although Yaoniang and Liu The concubine was rarely seen, but just based on those few times, it could be seen that she was not a temperament that liked gossip, and she was quite aloof and cold.
"Maybe it's because she's knowledgeable about current affairs and knows that it's not a good life to be against the empress in the palace, so she turned to the light." Hong Fei's words made everyone laugh, and Yao Niang said angrily: "Okay, okay, let you make me right So fierce."
Since she couldn't figure it out, Yaoniang simply put it in the back of her mind. But the whole morning, she looked like she couldn't get up to do anything, and she was sleepy. It just so happened that today was the day when Doctor Liu Liang asked for Ping An's pulse, Hong Fei told him about it as soon as Doctor Liu Liang entered the palace.
Yaoniang was lying on the kang, and doctor Liu Liang sat on the pier to feel her pulse.
After a long while, Liu Liang said: "Congratulations, your mother, you have it."
