"I don't understand." After returning, Wei Yingluo was puzzled, so she found the only person who could give her the answer, "Mother Zhang, why did Concubine Yi die?"
"A dignified concubine who is slapped in public, can she still stand in the palace in the future?" While embroidering a peony flower, Mammy Zhang replied lightly, "If others can bear it, but her temperament is out of line. The arrogance of the name…”
In other words, Concubine Huigui knew that she had such a temperament, so she used this humiliating method to force her to commit suicide.
"...How stupid." Wei Yingluo's face was gloomy, and she didn't know whether she was saying to her or herself, "Only when people are alive, can they have a chance to turn over. If it were me, don't say being slapped in the face, even if it was being slapped in the face. Spit, I can endure it, until the day of revenge!"
An icy, biting hatred pierced through the bones, stabbing Mammy Zhang's skin numb, she couldn't help putting down the embroidered stretcher in her hand, and looked at her in shock: "You..."
"It's nothing." That hatred came and went quickly, just looking at Wei Yingluo's smiling face at the moment, the chill and hatred just now seemed to be Mammy Zhang's illusion, "Mammy, I It's embroidered, can you see it?"
Mammy Zhang took the embroidery stretcher that she handed over, with a white peony on it and the unfinished red peony that she put on hand, all for Concubine Hui.
This empress has never been reluctant to be resigned. When the lady Yu wants to make two new clothes, she has to make twenty, in addition to the matching embroidered handkerchiefs and new shoes, all of them have peony patterns, one color cannot be repeated, one Flowers can't be repeated, but the maids in the embroidery workshop are exhausted.
In the end, only Mammy Zhang had to go into battle in person, so that they could barely finish embroidering these patterns within the stipulated time.
"Well, not bad." Mammy Zhang nodded and looked at the sky outside again, "It's already this time, you haven't had lunch yet, go eat it."
"Yes." Wei Yingluo said obediently, "I will eat quickly, try to come back early, and finish my work before tonight."
She is always so understanding and likable, Mammy Zhang nodded, thinking that it was really her own delusion...
But Yingluo left the embroidery workshop, but did not go to dinner.
She couldn't take a bite.
When I closed my eyes, I saw a pair of feet hanging in the air.
Suddenly opening her eyes, Yingluo kicked the tree opposite.
There are too many bastards in this harem, but they are still in high positions. She can't afford to offend any of them. She can only treat the tree in front of her as them, and kick them up one by one to vent her inner depression.
"Bold slave!"
Wei Yingluo was shocked and turned back suddenly.
She was so focused on venting her inner anger that she didn't even notice anyone behind her.
Looking at his clothes and the exquisite whisks on his elbows, it was a high-ranking eunuch, and he only heard him sternly say: "The holy driver is here, don't kneel!"
... holy drive
Wei Yingluo was stunned for a while, then quickly knelt on the ground and pressed her face against the back of her hand: "This slave and maid respectfully asks the emperor to be safe."
Footsteps came slowly towards her.
A pair of bright yellow boots stopped in front of her, and a casual male voice sounded above her head: "Who allowed you to hurt Lingbai?"
Lingbai
Yingluo's heart is not good, a thing is crowned with a spirit, it usually has a value, it is no longer an ordinary thing, she is afraid that she will get into a big disaster, at this moment, she can only pretend to be puzzled: "The slave is bold, I don't know. What is Lingbai?"
"You bastard! This tree is Lingbai!" Fuchen pointed to the tree she had kicked before, and the eunuch reprimanded, "The imperial pen inscribed the word Lingbai, look, there is a bronze medal hanging behind it! How many people used to be? It's too late to kneel, how dare you hurt so much!"
He still has the patience to explain to Yingluo, but the other person doesn't have the patience, or is not interested in wasting time on a stupid little palace maid.
"Pull it down." The bright yellow boots slowly walked away from her, "Thirty sticks."
Thirty sticks
Yingluo couldn't help but turn pale.
Thirty sticks down, half-life if not dead, and then spend a lot of time recuperating, how can she have so much time to waste
What's more, being punished is a stain.
How will a person who has been punished by the emperor personally order to gain a foothold in the harem in the future
I'm afraid that even the noble person Yu and Zhang mama will have to draw a clear line with her on the surface, so as not to accidentally offend the sage.
From then on, she will be unable to move an inch in the harem.
She would never allow herself to have such a stain!
"Not long after entering the palace, I don't know Lingbai, but there is a reason for what the servants did!" Yingluo's temples were sweating, and she desperately racked her brains.
Bright yellow boots stopped: "Oh?"
Since it is crowned with spirit, it is a mysterious and mysterious thing. In this kind of matter, there is no need to talk about human truth. Wei Yingluo rolled her eyes and simply gritted her teeth: "This slave does not know that this is a Lingbai, but it was an old tree last night. Ask the slave-maid to dream that it has been itching for a long time, and ask the slave-maid to come to the garden to find it and scratch its back—the slave-maid was just scratching it!"
The big eunuch sneered: "The more you talk, the more you jerk, how can a tree give you a dream!"
What Wei Yingluo was waiting for was his words, she slapped her head heavily, and said loudly: "Since the cypress tree has a spirit and can provide shade for the emperor, it will naturally give the servants dreams! The servants' words are true, and they dare not lie. !"
The eunuch was speechless by her words, and finally he had to turn his attention to the only person who could call the shots here.
"Forget it." But the man said casually, "Let's go."
Out of the corner of his eye, a pair of bright yellow boots passed by, followed by a pair of black boots, a pair of white embroidered shoes, and a saber buckled around his waist, majestic and mighty until he walked away, Wei Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground with a sour body.
Escaped.
"Snapped!"
A chestnut hit the back of her head.
"Ouch." Wei Yingluo turned her head, "Mommy, why are you here?"
"You little bastard!" Mammy Zhang also had sweat on her face, "I didn't look at you for a moment, and you almost got into a catastrophe!"
Being scolded by her like this, Wei Yingluo's heart softened.
"This is the spirit wood that was sealed by the emperor himself." While helping Wei Yingluo up from the ground, Mammy Zhang explained, "Back then, when the emperor made a private visit in private clothes, it was a sweltering heat, and the ministers were sweating profusely, but only the emperor did not sweat. Yes, everyone thought it was a strange thing. When the emperor talked about this, there seemed to be a giant cypress accompanying him all the way from the Forbidden City to provide shade for him. Everyone said that it was Lingbai who knew that the emperor was traveling, so he came specially to escort him! "
She babbled so much, originally to make Wei Yingluo act more cautiously.
In the palace, people are not easy to mess with, sometimes even trees are not easy to mess with.
"I understand." Wei Yingluo sighed, fixedly looking at the delicate tree beside her, and muttered, "In the Forbidden City, even a tree favored by the emperor is better than a tree that is not. The favored are strong."
On the other side, the bright yellow boots suddenly stopped.
All the boots behind him stopped together.
"Your Majesty?" The eunuch looked at him suspiciously.
"I was just thinking about the affairs of the imperial court..." Hongli said slowly.
The big eunuch made a deaf ear.
"So I didn't react for a while." Hongli turned his head slowly, the shadow of the tree swayed, and droplets of light fell through the gaps in the leaves, like golden rain on his face, he suddenly smiled, "Now Think about it carefully - a mere little palace maid, why does Lingbai entrust her with dreams?"
Long live the Lord, you just reacted!
The eldest eunuch thought so in his heart, but on his face he shared the same hatred as the enemy, and he made the same appearance as he had just reacted. He gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, the servant also reacted. That little girl opened her mouth and it was a lie, and it's a set of things. Catch it, kill it if you catch it!"
"Do you remember what she looks like?" Hongli asked lightly with his hands behind his back.
The big eunuch was stunned, and then racked his brains to recall...
"I can't remember." Hong Li said lightly, "The maids all dressed the same, she immediately knelt on the ground again, her whole face was on the back of her hand, and she didn't even lift it."
The big eunuch was stunned: "This, this, she did it on purpose..."
Harem women are all in pursuit of a "show face".
Who would have thought that someone would try to hide their face.
"Now that the water is in the sea and the leaves are in the jungle, if you want to find her again, you can only tell by the sound." Hongli looked at the swaying trees in the imperial garden, and said slowly, "Li Yu, while you still remember her, Li Yu. Voice, go and find someone for me."
"—That's right." After thinking for a while, he added another sentence, half-smiling, "Don't kill it after finding it, send it to me."
