Seeing the queen put down the teacup heavily and poured a lot of tea on the table, she was obviously really angry. Pan Jieyu not only did not feel panic, but was very happy. She only said that she was rude and upright, and she never criticized the Queen for a single sentence. What the other party could do to her would only make her angry. If you can't stand even this bit of eloquence, you should go home as soon as possible, and don't try to trample everyone under your feet because of Kunal's liking.
When the rest of the concubines saw that the two were on the fence, some gloated, some stood by, and some shrank back a little, for fear of being angered. Only one person sat in the first place of Concubine Han, neither looking at the head nor looking at the side seats, only drinking tea by himself, with a leisurely demeanor, like an outsider who had nothing to do with him. She is Shen Jieyu and Shen Shuniang, who is comparable to Pan Duolan. Her father is Shen Wei too often. Although she is only a small official with four hundred stone in the food court, she is considered to be the most valuable among the concubines in the harem, second only to Pan. Dolan.
The rest of the people were of common origin, and only because of their beauty were they selected to serve the emperor in the palace.
Guan Suyi met everyone in Jiaofang Hall today. If Pan Duolan gave her a dismount, then her dignity as an empress would be greatly damaged, not to mention being in charge of the six palaces and fulfilling the responsibility of the mother of the country. The concubines couldn't hold back. What's the use of a queen who can't even manage her concubines? Even if he is favored by the king again, sooner or later, he will be gnawed to the bone and scum by others.
As the so-called three fires when a new official takes office, now she not only has to set the fire on fire, but also must let the most arrogant Pan Duolan ignite the fire, so that she can truly establish her dignity as a queen.
Thinking of this, Guan Suyi leaned over slightly, stared at Pan Duolan's hidden smug eyes, and said word by word, "Pan Jieyu, this palace asks you, what do you think of yourself now? Follow the eldest princess to the north. The female general of Zhan or the concubine who serves the emperor?"
Pan Duolan lowered her eyes and said, "Since she has entered the palace, she is naturally a concubine. Although the concubine will never forget the years of fighting with His Majesty, she will not lose her duty."
Guan Suyi said lightly, "Bengong is also an upright person, and likes to associate with women like Pan Jieyu the most, because there is no need to cover up and act in a roundabout way. If I have something to say in my heart, I must say it, if I offend her. I still look at Haihan everywhere.”
"If you have something to say, please speak bluntly."
"Very good." Guan Suyi nodded in satisfaction, "In the eyes of this palace, Pan Jieyu is not losing her duty, you obviously forgot your originality long ago."
Pan Duolan's eyebrows stood upright, as if she wanted to get angry, but she quickly suppressed it and said, "How did the concubine lose her duty? Please also ask the empress to make it clear."
Guan Suyi opened her palm, and Minglan immediately handed her a cup of hot tea. She slowly skimmed the tea foam and said, "You keep saying that you dare not forget the duties of a soldier one day, but do you remember what the duties of a soldier are?"
Pan Duolan said without hesitation, "It is to protect the family and the country."
"Very good. As a soldier, you should protect your family and the country. As far as I know, female generals like you are not a minority among the Jiuli people, especially those under the eldest princess. The Wei Kingdom was established, and they all led the way. Responsibilities are stationed at the border and cannot be returned for several years. They sacrifice almost everything for the country and the people. They never advertise how noble they are, nor how they are loyal to their duties. And you? You stay in the magnificent palace and enjoy Prosperity, wealth, peace and comfort, wake up every day to practice martial arts, and then stand to enjoy the scenery, sit and play the piano, but also talk about the duties of a soldier. This palace asks you, these years, have you contributed to the peace of border gates? Power? Have you ever shed a drop of blood for the people of Wei? If you haven't, how can you say your duty?"
Pan Duolan was speechless and looked at Shen Jieyu subconsciously. The other party didn't raise her eyes, she only caressed the palace clothes on her body, she immediately woke up and said with difficulty, "Since the concubine has entered the palace, she is a concubine, even if she wants to serve the country, it is in vain. The point is to serve the emperor."
Guan Suyi smiled lightly, "If that's the case, don't always take the soldiers as your advertised things in the future. A real soldier can stand the wind and sand, endure bitterness and cold, and even save his life. He will never be as greedy for wealth and comfort as you are. If you pull them out, you will only smear the faces of the officers and soldiers, and even lose the prestige of the eldest princess. The female generals under her command are willing to abandon their merits and responsibilities and enter the palace. You are the only one. You and them are not comparable at all."
These words were equivalent to stripping off Pan Duolan's military uniform, causing her to run naked in the wild, ashamed and angry. But so what? She couldn't find a word to refute the other party, because she did give up her compatriots and her merits to become a concubine who enjoys prosperity. But she didn't do it for wealth, she just longed for the emperor. However, this sentence can't be said, saying it is equivalent to opening one's heart for others to enjoy.
It wasn't over yet, Guan Suyi didn't wait for her to calm down her embarrassed emotions, and continued, "Let's not mention the responsibility of soldiers and soldiers for the time being, just talk about serving the emperor, and you haven't fulfilled your duty at all. Look at yourself, already She is a concubine, but she dresses up as a man, making it nondescript. On the one hand, she remembers the past and talks about her achievements, but on the other hand, she avoids the emperor and has never served a day. If you really care about the army, this palace can send you out and continue to be a female general. , but what do you really think in your heart, do you think this palace doesn't know? You are just making yourself a maverick to attract the emperor's attention, and you should only use the means to compete for favor, so don't use high-sounding reasons to cover yourself up The real purpose. Whether you are upright or cunning, Ben Gong can see through it at a glance, no matter how pretentious you are, it will only add to the laughing stock."
Pan Duolan didn't expect her to be so ruthless, and before she had time to attack, she heard her coldly say, "If you really like to dress up in the military, you wouldn't smoke yourself after wearing a men's military uniform, and wipe it off. With powder, painted willow eyebrows, and dyed lips. Look at the eldest princess, dressed in military uniform and facing the sky, that is really heroic, not like you, male is not male, female is not female, demon is not demon , Mei or not. You can either wear a military uniform and go back to your army, or change into a palace uniform and be your concubine honestly. Concubine competition is the norm. Who do you think you can deceive? But deceive yourself That's it."
She closed her eyes and sighed, "Do you think you look beautiful in this way? It hurts your eyes."
Pan Duolan almost vomited blood when she heard this, slapped the table and shouted, "Guan Suyi, you are too deceiving!"
There was a loud crackling sound, and the table under her hand collapsed and fell apart. The surrounding concubines screamed in fright, covering their faces to avoid, but Shen Jieyu didn't move, only a trace of light poured from the depths of her eyes. Most of the Jiuli women are grumpy, and they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they fight with them. There's a good show here.
However, the development of the matter far exceeded everyone's expectations. I saw that the empress smashed the table with her palm and said angrily, "Pan Jieyu, you dare to call this palace a taboo, you are so bold!"
There was another crackling sound, and two broken desks lay on the ground, causing everyone to gasp for breath. This, what is this? Isn't the Queen Empress from a scholarly family? How can the palm force not lose to Pan Jieyu? Could it be that she also has martial arts
Oops, this is a kick to the iron plate!
Pan Duolan was shocked and horrified, not knowing how to respond for a while. She wasn't stupid enough to use force with the queen, she just wanted to destroy the case and shock the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party was not afraid at all, and the force was not lost at all. In this way, the effect of shock and deterrence was not achieved at all, but instead, he was left in a dilemma and seemed to be intimidated.
She lost this game, and it was extremely ugly.
But Guan Suyi didn't want to sacrifice just one table. She waved her wide sleeves and ordered in a cold voice, "Arrest those who are neither men nor women outside and do a body search!"
"Queen Empress, you..." Even if Pan Duolan was extremely angry, she had to use her honorary title.
"Pan Jieyu, this palace will teach you how to behave today." Guan Suyi interrupted her, "Do you think that you are different if you don't follow the rules of the palace? Stupid! Rules are not constraints, but protection! Bottom line, no one can do anything to you, even Ben Gong, once you cross it, there will be flaws everywhere, no need for Ben Gong to do anything, many people can kill you! You let these palace maids wear men's clothes, if Who has evil intentions and orders a man to mix in, accompany you every day, and then sue you for stealing the sky and changing the sun, and defilement of the harem, how many mouths do you have to clear your name?"
This sentence completely broke Pan Duolan's heart defense, causing her to break into a cold sweat instantly. She turned her head stiffly and looked at the guards who were neither male nor female. The more she looked, the more suspicious she became, and the more frightened she became. The rest of the concubines exclaimed and inhaled, discoloring in shock.
If the queen didn't say it, they would never have thought about this possibility at all. It turned out that it would be so easy to overthrow Pan Jieyu!
Shen Jieyu finally put down the teacup, lowered her eyes, and made a fearful gesture.
Guan Suyi glanced at her indistinctly, and continued, "Ben Gong is an upright person, so I have something to say to you, if Ben Gong intends to rectify you, so what if I let you have the upper hand today, when you get carried away. Just flicking your little finger can kill you! What are you still doing? Search to see if these guards are men or women!"
Only then did Jin Zi recover from the daze, and ordered the servant to take the person to the front of the hall and search for him. The female bodyguards who were still struggling and resisting all stopped, for fear of causing death for the master. No matter how incomplete the servants were, they were still men. One could imagine the shame and embarrassment in their hearts when they were searched. But no one dared to move, let alone show a strange expression, because whoever escaped would make the master suffer the charge of filthy harem, enough to annihilate the nine Pan clan.
Pan Duolan was so arrogant when she first entered the Jiaofang Palace, and now she is so embarrassed. She stared at the hall, with fear, shame, regret and other emotions flashing on her face.
Emperor Sheng Yuan, who had already gone far, but returned halfway, was standing outside the window, watching this scene with great interest.
Bai Fu whispered, "Your Majesty, can you rest assured now? The servants have already said that these noble lords in the harem are not opponents of the Empress at all."
"I know," Emperor Shengyuan shook his head and smiled, "Even I can't help my wife. What are these ghosts and monsters? Let's go and go back to handle government affairs, lest my wife see me being lazy and reprimand me again." On the other hand, there was a happy expression on her face, as if she was enjoying the fierceness of Mrs.
