Hu Jiuqing, the great eunuch behind Emperor Song Cheng, looked at the face of the Holy Majesty, his scalp was numb and at the same time he was complaining in his heart. What is it all about? The emperor's thoughts in recent years have really become more and more puzzling.
"Is the Jiang family always like this in the harem?" Emperor Song Cheng's face was still ugly, and he suddenly asked such a question that seemed inexplicable to Hu Jiuqing.
Although he complained in his heart, Hu Jiuqing still replied respectfully on the face, "The imperial concubine has a noble status, and the old lady is also a first-class wife. It is Ning Cai who doesn't have long eyes and conflicts. She should be punished."
When Emperor Song Cheng heard this, he clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tighter and yelled, "Hu Jiuqing! You are so brave!"
This sudden attack made Hu Jiuqing's legs go limp in fright, and he knelt down on the ground, and the eunuchs and maids behind him also knelt down, "Damn this slave, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Damn it, you are a slave who dares to make up my women and go to receive the punishment yourself." Emperor Song Cheng cast his dark eyes across him, and then suppressed his anger and dropped this sentence, and turned to Ning, who was kneeling there. Guoguo went.
Hearing the pun in the language, Hu Jiuqing broke out in a cold sweat, and the strange feeling in his heart became deeper and deeper.
It is said that the imperial concubine is the most favored in the harem, but Hu Jiuqing waits on the emperor every day, and every time he comes back from Yongshou Palace, the emperor looks very bad.
Especially every time there is news from the harem that a concubine has been punished by the imperial concubine again, the emperor can keep a gloomy face for several hours. When Hu Jiuqing thought that the imperial concubine would be punished, the emperor gave many rewards to Yongshou Palace to make a face for the imperial concubine .
Hu Jiuqing had long felt that something was wrong, but he was an old man, and the less he knew, the longer he could live, especially the unfathomable Sacred Heart.
There were many thoughts in his mind, and when he saw the emperor walking away, Hu Jiuqing hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Then he got up, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly followed.
Ning Guoguo naturally heard the movement here, and the maid guarding Ning Guoguo had already knelt down to welcome the holy driver.
Song Chengdi walked up to Ning Guoguo, looked down at the kneeling woman, and frowned slightly.
There is a general election every three years, and there are not a few women in the harem. Except for those with prominent family backgrounds, or those who are planning to promote the concubine's mother's father and brother, Emperor Song Cheng will favor one or two.
Like Ning Guoguo, Song Chengdi had no impression at all, probably because of his family background and appearance.
"Why are you kneeling here?" When he spoke again, Emperor Song Cheng's face softened a little, and his tone was no longer so cold.
It's just that Ning Guoguo didn't notice a person coming in front of her at all. She was slapped by those twenty slaps, and now her ears are still buzzing, her head is roaring, and her face is burning with pain.
Just being punished by Caihe to kneel down, Ning Guoguo struggled violently. She was kicked to kneel down, and now her knees are even more painful.
Ning Guoguo lowered her head, her lips were bleeding from the bite, and her eyes were red and swollen. This was the first time she felt the reality of time travel, and it was also the first time she felt the cruelty of the harem.
Just now when Shengjia approached, seeing that Ning Guoguo hadn't moved, the maid pressed her upper body to the ground, and now the whole person remained lying on the ground, and nothing could be heard in her mind.
She didn't speak, but the guarding maid answered truthfully, "Report to the emperor, this girl Ning Cai bumped into Mrs. Hou, and Aunt Caihe punished her to kneel here for three hours."
Of course Emperor Song Cheng knew this, he could see and hear clearly just now, the reason why he asked this question was of course not to get such a result.
Pianna's maid saw the emperor and was not as afraid as the maids and eunuchs in other palaces. She is a palace maid of Yongshou Palace, and the emperor has seen it many times. In addition, her master is favored. It's reasonable, the court lady is naturally more confident, and she didn't hear any other meanings from Song Chengdi's question at all.
Song Chengdi's anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty rose again, what a Jiang Wenya, what a Yongshou Palace, now even the palace people don't take his words seriously, what a bold act!
It's just that he didn't think about it, what he said was so cryptic, and others were not roundworms in his belly, how could he understand it.
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry again, Hu Jiuqing hurriedly said, "You are short-sighted, this is the palace road, it's outrageous for people to kneel like this, watching them come and go, besides, you have already punished your mouth, You don't need to kneel any more."
Hu Jiuqing didn't want to say that, but he had a premonition that if the emperor couldn't help punishing the court lady right now, and later regretted it, he would be in trouble.
The palace maid was a little aggrieved, but seeing Eunuch Hu winking at herself, and seeing that the emperor's face was really not good-looking, she had no choice but to agree.
Emperor Song Cheng cast a cold glance at the court lady, then got up and drove back to the imperial study.
His behavior was not because he had thoughts about Ning Guoguo, but because he was holding back his anger, so he didn't even look at Ning Guoguo before leaving, and he didn't even know what she looked like.
With the emperor's oral order, the maid looked at Ning Guoguo who was still kneeling, snorted coldly, and led them away.
Knowing that everyone was gone, Ning Guoguo's paralyzed nerves slowly recovered, and when he looked up again, he only saw a corner of his bright yellow robe.
The episode here was unexpected by Tang Lihua. At this time, she had already got off the chariot and was standing outside the palace gate of Yongshou Palace.
"The old lady is here with the maidservant, the empress has been waiting for you since she received the news yesterday." Cai He smiled.
Tang Lihua followed her into the Yongshou Palace. This Yongshou Palace was not much different from the residence of the favorite concubine on TV, except that the decorations inside were more exquisite, and all of them seemed to be of great value.
Just before entering, there is a red coral in front of you. The red is so bright that it is very beautiful.
Caihe noticed Tang Lihua's expression, and introduced, "This is a tribute from the Hu people. The emperor saw that the empress liked it, so he specially rewarded it."
But Tang Lihua didn't listen to her. She looked at the red coral with deeper eyes, and a sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth. This is not an ordinary red coral, but a contraceptive prescription carefully chosen by the current emperor for Jiang Wenya. .
In the plot of the novel, before the red coral is delivered, it is ground into juice with special herbs, soaked for seven to forty-nine days, and some other things will be added to the daily ginger and gentle food. After matching for a long time, not only will she not be able to conceive at all, but even her life will be in danger.
Tang Lihua knew about this plot, but she didn't expect that the red coral would be rewarded now.
The male protagonist is extremely extreme. Before Tang Lihua came, Jiang Wenya was pregnant with a child, but was pushed down the steps by a concubine who suddenly went crazy. The child was not saved, and the concubine was also executed.
Because of this incident, the emperor did not believe that spices could prevent pregnancy, so he did everything possible to find this way.
Fortunately, because of fear, Emperor Song Cheng was afraid that if something happened to Jiang Wenya in the palace too early, he would not be able to suppress the Xuanpinghou's mansion, and if the dose of the fatal medicine was light, it would be cured.
Thinking in Tang Lihua's mind, Jiang Wenya, who had been waiting in the inner hall for a long time, came out. Seeing the familiar face, her eyes turned red for a moment. She trotted a few steps, and threw herself into the arms of her grandmother.
"You child is already an empress in the palace. Why are you so unruly?" Tang Lihua was taken aback, and said reproachful words in her mouth, but the raised corners of her mouth and the distressed hand patted her granddaughter's back revealed that That's not what it means.
The grandparents and grandson made out for a while before taking their seats in the main hall.
Jiang Wenya also hadn't seen her relatives for a long time, and saw her beloved grandmother coming, so she couldn't control her emotions for a while, and felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Tang Lihua didn't make fun of her, but instead asked other questions, "Is your body healthy?"
Jiang Wenya knew what her grandmother was asking, her face was sad for a moment, and then she forced a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, all the good things in this palace are sent to Yongshou Palace, and it's not good to drink soup and medicine every day."
Tang Lihua knew that her heart was still unresolved, seeing her was like seeing a big girl, she felt pity in her heart, the most heartless emperor's family, if she came back sooner, she would never let Jiang Wenya enter the harem.
Thinking of Jiang Wenya's ending in the novel, Tang Lihua couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Wenya is worthy of being a girl from Xuanpinghou's mansion. She knew that her father died in battle, her brother and brother were divided into five horses, and her grandmother and mother were exiled to the frontier because of being framed. She didn't survive the journey.
She went crazy, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She used the last of her wealth to buy off the guards of the palace guards to investigate the whereabouts of the hero and heroine. It was completely burned, and he himself was buried in the sea of flames.
Tang Lihua appreciated her intelligence, but it was a pity that the aura of the hero and heroine was strong, not only did she not get burned to death, but a friend in adversity saw the truth.
Entering the palace today is to deal with the red coral, and to remind Jiang Wenya.
Fortunately for Tang Lihua, Jiang Wenya has a closer relationship with Yuanshen than her parents, and she is very cautious about what she says to Yuanshen. If she is a lover and can't listen to her, Tang Lihua will use other methods instead of talking directly to her. She made it clear, but from Yuanshen's memory, Jiang Wenya valued family affection more.
"In this harem, the empress has to worry about everything." Tang Lihua said.
Jiang Wenya sat closer to her, hugged her arm, and rested her head on the grandmother's shoulder, just like when she was not in the palace, the little daughter showed her delicate posture.
If the concubine next to her saw her, her jaw would drop in shock. Is this extremely docile person still that arrogant and domineering imperial concubine
"Grandmother, everyone in this hall is my own, so don't call me your empress, it sounds really awkward." Jiang Wenya said coquettishly on purpose.
Tang Lihua followed her wishes, changed her words, and told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
Jiang Wenya frowned slightly when she heard that her younger brother was taken into Dali Temple. Tang Lihua knew what she was going to say, so she stopped the conversation first, "Lin'er is too pampered by us, so you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing this, Jiang Wenya nodded. She felt that what her grandmother said was reasonable, but what Tang Lihua said next surprised her even more. When she heard her grandmother say that she punished her elder brother like that, Jiang Wenya laughed unkindly.
Tang Lihua gave her a reproachful look, "You girl."
Thinking of the current situation of her elder brother, Jiang Wenya was even more overjoyed, and praised the recipe her grandmother came up with.
After laughing a lot, Tang Lihua's face turned serious, and it was time to get to the point.
Under the signal of her grandmother, Jiang Wenya dismissed all the palace people without knowing why, leaving only the grandparent and grandson in the palace.
Tang Lihua organized her words and said slowly, "Ya'er, what do you think about the Holy Majesty?"
Jiang Wenya was stunned for a moment, thinking that because she was naughty when she was young, she disguised herself as a man and slipped out of the house, and the handsome young man beat off the local hooligans for her, but the corner of her mouth was sullen.
Although relying on her own strength, she could easily clean up those unsightly things, but this encounter made her fall in love with that boy.
Knowing that he is the current emperor, Jiang Wenya chose to enter the palace.
It was sweet at first, but as time passed, Jiang Wenya also felt that something was wrong. Although the man was still gentle and considerate to her, she always felt that he was wearing a mask all the time.
"Why did grandma ask this?" After dazzled, Jiang Wenya laughed at herself for being sentimental.
"Since the accident last time, I have had people go to Concubine Qing's house to investigate, but they found some clues. Following this investigation, I used the hidden stakes in the palace to find out a lot of things." It's not all Tang Lihua's nonsense.
In the novel, Yuanshen did check these things, and found some things, followed the clues, and was noticed by the hero, and threw the blame on Concubine Wen Shu, who had always looked down on Jiang Wenya.
This trick was used well, diverting Jiang Wenya's attention and indirectly saving the heroine.
Jiang Wenya felt inexplicably uneasy when she heard her grandmother's words.
"Princess Qing didn't go crazy, but was instigated by someone. If you don't let you have a miscarriage, her father will not be able to hide the fact that her father bribed her elder brother and killed others." Tang Lihua said.
Jiang Wenya clenched her hands tightly, her eyes were cold, and her voice was cold, "Who is it!"
Tang Lihua sighed and looked into her eyes, "If I tell you, can you bear it?"
"Grandmother, you know mine. No matter who it is, I will pay back ten times the pain of losing a child." Jiang Wenya said word by word, the aura she exuded at this time was completely different from that just now.
"It's His Majesty." Tang Lihua said, and at the same time she saw Jiang Wenya's pupils constricted violently, she couldn't believe it appeared on her face.
"The Holy Majesty has always been afraid of our Xuanpinghou Mansion. The reason why he wants you to enter the palace and give you honor is because he wants to stabilize our Xuanpinghou Mansion. He thinks your father is a master, so he is extremely jealous." Tang Lihua said in one breath Yes, looked at the granddaughter who was immersed in shock, and continued.
"The Holy Majesty will not allow the birth of a prince with the blood of our Jiang family. He is afraid that his throne will be shaken. The red coral in your palace and your usual food have been mixed with other things. It will be difficult to save your life in the long run."
No matter how much her own words shocked Jiang Wenya's world, Tang Lihua felt that the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain. After Jiang Wenya accepted it, everything would not be so difficult.
Jiang Wenya felt that it was too unreal, but her grandmother's words were still in her ears, and the warm touch from the hand gently held by her grandmother reminded her that all this was true.
She has never doubted her grandmother's words, and it is the same at this time. Grandma will not lie to her, nor can she lie to her, let alone lie to her with such absurd things.
Why? Why did that man treat himself like this? !
Jiang Wenya's eyes were dark red, and all kinds of emotions were surging in her heart.
At this moment, the palaces were knocked several times, and Cai He walked in, "Mother, Lan Ju is back, and said that she met the emperor, and she was spared Ning Cainu's punishment."
Jiang Wenya raised her eyes suddenly, and Caihe was startled when she saw the scarlet under her master's bottom.
"Let her in, I have something to ask her."
