Emperor Chongjin walked here and said, "Get up." Those who are familiar with Emperor Chongjin will find that Eunuch Liangui, who was always by his side, has disappeared and is replaced by another An eunuch who is about the same age as Eunuch Lian.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After receiving permission, everyone stood up one after another.
Emperor Chongjin seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his face: "You are all free, don't pay attention to me, I just pass by here, just come here for a walk."
Afterwards, he was worried that the matter just now could not be resolved, and now that Emperor Chongjin came, it would be inconvenient to continue the topic just now. Afterwards, she hurriedly wanted to take Yang's mother and daughter away from Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, but Concubine Xian said: "Empress, do you have anything to say to Your Majesty?"
Afterwards, I was startled, it seemed that this concubine Xian did not intend to let her go.
On the other hand, after Emperor Chongjin heard it, he asked his successor curiously: "Oh? What can Zitong have to say to me?"
"Chenqie, Chenqie." Afterwards, he lowered his head and his eyes turned wildly, thinking of countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, the empress is a bit speechless about this matter." Concubine Xian twisted her slender waist and walked in front of Emperor Chongjin, "Can I let the concubine speak on behalf of the empress?"
"Your Majesty, let the concubine talk about it." After thinking about it, I can't hide this matter, let Concubine Xian say it, it's better to let her say it herself, God knows what concubine Xian will say that is not good for her. Thinking of this, he forcefully forced a smile and said, "Princess Huojia was accidentally tripped and fell by Miss Hua just now."
"The empress is really avoiding the important and taking the light of the matter," Concubine Xian said with a strange tone, "Why didn't you tell the whole process of the matter?"
"How dare the queen say that?" Concubine Shu also came over, standing on the same line with Concubine Xian, "If you say this, you will slap yourself in the face."
Then he gritted his teeth: "Don't talk nonsense here!"
"How can we be talking nonsense? The empress can stop the mouths of the two of us, but not the mouths of so many people present."
"At this time, the empress is still so stubborn, but it's really admirable."
How can I swallow this breath afterwards, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty has not yet been judged, but you have come to this conclusion first. Could it be that you want to make decisions for Your Majesty?"
It is not without reason that he has been able to become the master of the harem for so many years. On the surface, the words just now seemed to be just a quarrel with the concubine, but in fact it implied that Emperor Chongjin, the mother clan of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu is too powerful in the court, if it is not eradicated as soon as possible, Chongjin will be destroyed in the future. The power of the emperor will be emptied and become a puppet emperor.
Emperor Chongjin couldn't bear it anymore: "Shut up!"
He glanced quickly around the three women, and then looked at Princess Huojia standing aside: "Huojia, tell me what's going on here?"
Princess Huojia hurriedly came over and replied: "Returning to the emperor's words, just now when Huojia and Empress Debi walked by here, Miss Hua suddenly stretched out her leg and tripped me to the ground. There is absolutely no falsehood in what Huojia said, just I don't know why Miss Hua wanted to hurt me? Huo Jia and her are meeting for the first time today, and there is no grudge."
"How can there be no grievances?" Concubine Shu still couldn't help but opened her mouth. Even though the concubines were not there, they all knew about what happened in Hua Ling and Yang Shi. They also heard what Hua Ling said just now, and Concubine Shu said it briefly.
Emperor Chongjin looked at Hua Luyao again: "But this?"
Emperor Chongjin was not angry but majestic, with the majesty of a born superior, Hua Luyao trembled in fright: "Minnv, Minnv didn't do it on purpose. Minnv didn't know what happened just now, her legs stretched out suddenly …”
The voice became smaller and smaller, and even I didn't believe that tripping Princess Huojia was unintentional.
Yang hurriedly pulled Hua Luyao to kneel on the ground: "Your Majesty, Luyao was temporarily deceived by lard. I beg the Emperor to spare her for her young age."
Emperor Chongjin ignored him, and turned his head to look at Hualing who was standing not far away with his head lowered to minimize his presence: "Princess, did Miss Hua ever beat and scold you?"
"Back, back to my father's words. My sister has a bad temper, and I, as an older brother, will let her go." Hua Ling's beautiful face was full of fear, as if she was frightened by Emperor Chong Jin.
"Your Majesty, the princess was not only beaten and scolded by Miss Hua when she was at home," Concubine Shu stepped forward, "I heard that even his younger brother beat and scolded the princess frequently. On the day the princess returned to Ning, the younger brother also He was punished by the prince for beating and scolding the concubine."
"Father, my son and I still don't know why the prince punished his younger siblings that day? Can you tell me?" Hua Ling looked at Emperor Chongjin suspiciously, "My mother often said that other people's younger siblings were also punished. Those who treat my elder brother like this, because I am the elder brother, should let them."
At this moment, Emperor Chongjin's heart was full of anger, and the actions of the Duke of Kangle Kingdom today really touched his scales. No matter how much Yan Shi and Huo Jia disliked him, they were the prince and princess after all, and no one could allow others to belittle them. This is related to the dignity of the royal family. Hua Ling used to be a member of the Duke of Kangle, but now that he is married to Yan Shi, he is a member of their royal family. But Kangleguo's mansion didn't hold back at all, beat and scolded him frequently, isn't this just hitting his emperor's face
And that Hua Luyao, she is so daring, a daughter of a duke, dares to bully a majestic princess in public! Emperor Chongjin looked at Princess Huojia again, she was looking at her secretly with her head down, her eyes were timid, as if she was a little scared. It's ridiculous to say that although the father and daughter are in the palace together, they haven't seen each other for many years.
How old is it? Emperor Chongjin couldn't remember. I just remember that when I saw her last time, she was still a little girl, but now she has grown into a slim and tall girl, with the elegant demeanor of the queen of the Yuan Dynasty in her brows.
Then he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, although the princess was beaten and scolded by her younger brothers and sisters in the mansion, Mrs. Guo didn't know about it."
Since this matter cannot be denied, it can only be admitted, and the current plan can only be to abandon the pawns and protect the handsome.
"Really?" Concubine Xian sneered, "Mrs. Guo really doesn't know? Why do I remember that on the day the prince got married, Mrs. Guo lost the memorial tablet of Mrs. Ruoguo? How could you lose the memorial tablet of the first lady?"
Emperor Chongjin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at his successor and said sharply: "Is there such a thing?"
Then he was so frightened that he hurriedly bent his waist again and again: "I don't know."
"Of course the Empress will not say she knows." Concubine Shu looked at the successor's appearance at this time, how proud she was, "How dare you tell Your Majesty about this?"
The atmosphere in the imperial garden was too depressing, it seemed that the air had weight, making people feel heavy and uncomfortable.
No one noticed, just now when Concubine Shu was speaking, a lady quietly tugged Concubine Xian and winked at her, Concubine Xian comprehended and followed her quietly away from Emperor Chongjin a few steps. The madam said a few words in Concubine Xian's ear, and Concubine Xian immediately smiled after hearing this, and returned to Emperor Chongjin to stand beside Emperor Chongjin without a trace, looked at Yang very proudly and said: "Madam Guo, I want to ask Let me ask you, where did the hairpin on your head and Miss Hua's bracelet come from?"
When Hua Luyao heard her talking about the bracelet, she hurriedly hid the bracelet on her left wrist inside her sleeve.
When Yang heard this, it was like thunder, and white hairs broke out all over her body.
Concubine Shu didn't continue to ask her, instead she looked at Hua Ling and asked, "Princess, do you recognize the two things I just said?"
Hua Ling took a step forward and looked it over carefully for a while, affirming, "I don't recognize it."
Concubine Shu smiled proudly: "Mrs. Guo, what else do you have to say? If you don't dare to say it, let me tell everyone that the two things I just mentioned are the dowry of the first wife. The princess has already When you get married, how can the dowry of the late wife be worn on the two of you?"
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, there was a whisper in the imperial garden. Embezzlement of dowry, no matter which dynasty it is in, is despised by others. If this person is found embezzling the dowry, his reputation will be ruined.
There is also a special item in the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty, which is about dowry.
Yang Shi knew that she was doomed today, so she kowtowed to Emperor Chongjin trembling all over: "The concubine was deluded by ghosts for a while, the concubine deserves death, I beg the emperor to spare her life."
When Hua Luyao saw her mother kowtow, she was so frightened that her face was pale, she couldn't even speak, so she could only kowtow to her mother.
Then I hated and resented in my heart, why was I so careless, can that kind of thing be worn into the palace? But she was wrong, she was also her younger sister, and when she opened her mouth to speak, Emperor Chongjin gave him a cold look, and she immediately shut up and was speechless.
Everything was clear up to this point, Emperor Chongjin looked at the mother and daughter kneeling at his feet, and made a verdict - immediately go to Chanlin Nunnery to meditate on his own past, for a period of three years, and have to copy a copy every day. A copy of the "Meditation Mantra" was handed over to the palace.
The Zen Lin Nunnery is hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, deep in the poor mountains and rivers, and it was built by the imperial court for the convicts and concubines of these court officials. It is said that the nunnery master has a strange temperament and is extremely difficult to get along with others. Because it is located in a secluded place, there is very little money for incense. The nuns in the nunnery are all self-sufficient, not only chanting scriptures but also making a living every day. Yang Shi and Hua Luyao went there, and the good times will come to an end.
Yang and Hua Luyao were dragged down by the eunuchs crying.
Hua Qian was fined for one year's salary because of her poor family education.
Afterwards, she favored and shielded her, and behaved like a mother of the country. She was not allowed to step out of the Ganquan Palace for a month, and she was confined to contemplate her past mistakes. This month's harem affairs will be temporarily handled by Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.
Emperor Chongjin looked at Princess Huojia again, and was surprised that a princess could not dress as well as a daughter of a Hou family. His heart softened, and he asked softly: "Huojia, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you have also been wronged." You can ask me for a reward."
Princess Huojia was overjoyed: "Can any reward be acceptable?"
Emperor Chongjin nodded: "Any kind of reward is fine."
Princess Huojia boldly said: "I haven't seen the eldest brother for a long time, can I go out of the palace to see him?"
