The Concubine Shu withheld their monthly salary, and she wanted to see how she would deal with this lowly maid.
If the problem cannot be solved, the emperor may change someone else to take charge of the harem. As long as it is not the concubine, it will be fine.
"Your Majesty, your clothes." The maid raised her hand and pointed at her filthy clothes. "Do you want to change?"
Roupin waved her hand, "No need."
This is evidence. If she changed the emperor, how would he know how miserable she was? So she can't change him. No matter how bad it smells, she has to endure it.
"Miss Yang, please beg for mercy from the Empress!" Xiao Yuanzi stood up and whispered.
What would happen if she went before the emperor? Miss Yang is not afraid of death, but he is.
"Your Majesty, should we take them both directly to Concubine Li?" asked the two palace maids who were pulling Yang Xin.
Having just heard that the emperor went to see Concubine Li, Concubine Rou twisted her handkerchief tightly and nodded.
......
In Concubine Li's palace.
The Emperor and Concubine Shu were teasing Yu Yiluo, while Concubine Li was holding Yu Yiluo, and they looked peaceful.
Unfortunately, this peace was broken by an unpleasant smell.
[Which bastard is carrying manure? Why is it so smelly?]
The emperor and his companions also smelled it and frowned, and even felt that the smell was getting closer.
"Huari, close the door."
Before Huarui could go forward to close the door, Roupin came running in crying with snot and tears, and the foul smell instantly spread.
"Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, Sister Shufei, you must make the decision for me."
[No, did Concubine Rou fall into the toilet? Ahhhh, can you please not come in? It really stinks.]
The emperor couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, and he also noticed the filth on her dress. "If you have anything to say, go change your clothes before coming over."
Concubine Rou wiped her tears and pointed at Yang Xin who was being held by the palace maids, "Your Majesty, it was this slave girl who did this to me. If I go back and change my clothes, how can I show the evidence to Your Majesty?"
emperor:"……"
He didn't want to look at this evidence at all.
Seeing several people covering their noses, Concubine Rou even sniffed, but didn't feel it was that smelly. Could it be that she was used to the smell?
[Damn, did this time-traveling girl eat a fluttering moth? She's so noisy.]
Yu Yiluo glanced at Yang Xin who was holding his chin high. It was quite amazing that he could cause trouble in the bathroom.
Concubine Shu raised her handkerchief to cover her nose, "Roupin, are you showing us evidence, or are you too stinky to care about others? Hurry up and change your clothes."
Concubine Rou pursed her lips, met the emperor's gaze, and nodded in agreement.
"I'll go change my clothes and come back."
Concubine Rou left quickly and came back quickly.
After coming in, she continued to cry and Yu Yiluo was amazed at how quickly she got into the role.
"Your Majesty, this slave girl said that I can't kill her without your permission, wuwuwu."
Yang Xin rolled her eyes. "I'm telling the truth. I can apologize for soiling your clothes, but you're not injured. You can solve this problem by just changing clothes. Why do you have to yell and kill? Is it really that serious?"
Shufei glanced at Taoye, Taoye understood, walked up and slapped Yang Xin in the face.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you yesterday? A slave should behave like a slave."
Yang Xin's face was already swollen, and the slap brought back memories of yesterday.
She gritted her teeth, fearing she would be beaten again, and reluctantly called herself a slave.
"It is true that I bumped into Concubine Rou accidentally, but you can't blame me. Concubine Rou herself didn't even look at the road, so both parties are responsible."
[Has it gotten smarter? It seems not, not sure, let's wait and see.]
"You are such a good talker, my lowly maid," Roupin pointed at the pale-faced Xiao Yuanzi beside her, "you go and tell her whether I am wrong or not."
"Your Majesty, and the ladies in waiting, it is true that the two of us offended Concubine Rou. We beg for your forgiveness."
He had finally gotten acquainted with the people in the purification room and adapted to the job there, but he didn't want to be beaten with a stick and driven out of the palace because of what happened today.
"Shufei, what do you think we should do?" the emperor asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Give her ten blows and have the maids teach her the proper manners. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Ten blows shouldn't kill him, right?
The emperor thought about it and realized that he usually beat the Fourth Prince more often than this, so he nodded.
[Oh, how can I get the real Yang Xin back? I feel so sad.]
"Roupin, are you satisfied with this punishment?"
Since the emperor had agreed, how could Concubine Rou dare to express her dissatisfaction?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, for taking this matter upon my behalf. However, I see that the young eunuch is quite sensible, so could his punishment be waived?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanzi kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
He now deeply regrets working with Yang Xin, and he almost lost his life.
"Alright, come here, take Yang Mei away and give her ten strokes of the cane."
Yang Xin's eyes widened in disbelief. Before she could say anything, she was gagged and dragged out to be beaten with a stick.
The severe pain made her want to scream, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't scream at all.
All she knew about beatings before was what she had seen on TV, but now that she was experiencing it for herself, she felt like she was dying from the pain.
After hitting ten boards, Yang Xin couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
As Roupin left, she snorted coldly and whispered to the maid next to her, "Go to the purification room often and take care of this lowly maid."
......
After dealing with this matter, the emperor remembered the purpose of his visit to Concubine Li's palace.
"General Jin will arrive in the capital tomorrow. I came here specifically to tell you."
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has given birth to a little princess, and General Jin has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. Isn't it time for Concubine Li to be promoted?"
The emperor laughed happily, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Now that the position of the Four Concubines is vacant, Li Fei's promotion will be the perfect way to fill it."
[Wow, mother's position has been promoted. Will her monthly salary be more than before? The tyrant is quite capable this time. Mother has been in the palace for so many years, and finally she can get promoted.
However, there are still two vacancies among the four concubines. I wonder if the tyrant will promote my mother to the rank of virtuous concubine? That would be too unlucky. No, no.]
"Your Majesty, my brother's battles for the country are his duty as a subject, and I have only given birth to Luo'er. If I were to be promoted directly to the fourth concubine, it would be inappropriate."
By then, the ministers will think that it is the brother who is using his achievements to threaten the emperor. Although the Jin family is loyal to the emperor, other people and the emperor may not be suspicious that the Jin family's achievements are greater than theirs.
She just hopes that her daughter and family will be safe.
"What's wrong with that?" The emperor disagreed. "I've already thought of a title. The title of Xianfei is unlucky, so I've thought of another one. I'll give her the title Xianfei. Xian means elegant, and she'll also be one of the four concubines."
Concubine Shu winked at Concubine Li and said, "Sister, please accept it with pleasure. The Emperor cares so much about you."
[Not bad, not bad. The title of Tyrant is fine. It seems like you really put your heart into it. But why is Concubine Shu still speaking up for Mother? Could she have fallen for Mother? No wonder she came here for no reason today.]
