Chapter 215: Fight until you feel relieved
When Cuilan returned to Qiulan Palace, she quickly put down the things in her hands and walked towards the palace with a smile.
"My Lady, guess what I saw when I went to the Imperial Household Department?"
Mingpin was arranging flowers. Her fingertips, gently twisting a hibiscus flower, paused for a moment. She glanced sideways at the reckless Cuilan and asked, "You're being so disrespectful! Did you see Concubine Zhao drowning? Or did you see Concubine Xi tumble down the stairs?"
Now, for her, the only things in the palace that can cheer her up are the affairs of Concubine Zhao and Concubine Xi.
Cuilan's smile widened a bit: "No drowning, no rolling down the stairs, but those two masters, I'm afraid they will have to fight."
Mingpin was unexpectedly delighted and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Explain clearly!"
"Just now, Empress Zhao's maid Liu Zheng and Madam Kong were fighting over a fish. Madam Kong lost and slapped Liu Zheng in the face."
"I heard that Liu Zheng is a maid from Concubine Xi's family. This beating is a disgrace to Concubine Xi. Your Majesty, tell me...will Concubine Xi let Concubine Zhao go?"
Mingpin perked up and put the flowers into the vase.
"Concubine Xi is now on equal footing with Concubine Zhao. If she keeps this a secret, won't she be laughed at by the entire palace? Will she be proven to be a worthless woman? How can the maids under her be loyal to her then?"
"There's going to be a good show." A graceful arc slowly appeared at the corner of Mingpin's mouth.
It would be best if the two of them could fight and bring the matter to the emperor's attention, causing him to dislike them and make room for them.
"These two people, one relies on the emperor's favor and doesn't care about the six palaces, and the other is scheming but good at disguising himself. It's time for a fight~"
Mingpin felt in a very good mood for a moment, and even the lotus in front of her looked more and more charming.
When Liu Yuetang returned to Yaoyue Palace, she saw that Wanqiu looked unhappy and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
She asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Wan Qiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Zheng went to the Imperial Household Department just now and was slapped by Madam Kong."
"What?" Liu Yuetang's face changed, and she asked in surprise: "Why is she playing Liu Zheng?"
Wanqiu recounted the whole story.
"That's roughly what happened. Liu Zheng just told me that."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuetang's almond-shaped eyes flashed with coldness, "The servants of Yaohua Palace are truly rampant."
"It seems that I've been accustomed to giving in in the past, which makes them think I'm easy to bully."
After saying that, she looked outside: "Where's Liu Zheng?"
"Amber is using eggs to reduce the swelling on Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng is afraid that you might be worried if you see her, so she's hiding in the house."
Seeing Liu Zheng being beaten but still thinking about herself, Liu Yuetang felt very uncomfortable.
He immediately stood up and walked out: "I'll go see her."
In the room, Amber held an egg in her hand and slowly rolled it across Liu Zheng's face.
Seeing Liu Yuetang coming, Amber quickly put down the eggs and saluted Liu Zheng.
Looking at Liu Zheng's red cheeks, Liu Yuetang felt distressed. She reached out her hand to touch her, but was afraid of hurting her.
Liu Zheng said with tears in her eyes: "My Lady, I am no longer in pain."
"The green cuttlefish that your majesty has always wanted to eat, this servant has brought back."
Liu Yuetang felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
When she was in the Liu Mansion before, she was walking on thin ice and was very cautious, which led Liu Zheng to have to look at other people's faces like her.
But now that she is in the palace, how can she allow Liu Zheng to be bullied?
Liu Yuetang stretched out her hand and said, "Come on, I will help you vent your anger."
Liu Zheng was startled. "Your Majesty... that's the maidservant beside Concubine Zhao. You're pregnant, so there's no need for you to speak up for me."
"So what about the nanny beside Concubine Zhao?" Liu Yuetang was as cold as ice.
"Liu Zheng, you belong to me. If I hit you, I'm hitting myself. Do you understand? If I don't stand up today, how will I survive in this palace?"
"Don't mention that you and I have a long-standing relationship. Even if it was Wanqiu and Amber who were beaten today, I would still protect them."
If the palace maids around her can't protect her, then what's the point of her being Concubine Xi?
When Liu Zheng heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
"My Lady..." She called out with trembling lips.
Amber's eyes were also wet: "It is a blessing for us to have such a good master like you, Madam."
Liu Yuetang looked around at everyone: "Remember, although you can't take the initiative to cause trouble, you can't let others bully you either. Do you understand?"
The palace maids were all deeply moved and bowed: "Yes."
So, Liu Yuetang was supported by Liu Zheng and went to a pavilion near Yaohua Palace to sit down.
She called a passing eunuch over, gave him some silver and asked him to call out Nanny Kong.
If Madam Kong was summoned directly to Yaoyue Palace, Concubine Zhao would certainly protect Madam Kong and not let her come.
When Madam Kong learned that someone wanted to see her, she had a vague guess. When she walked out and saw Liu Yuetang sitting in the pavilion leisurely admiring the flowers, she felt a little uneasy and wanted to turn back.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yuetang stopped her and said, "Madam Kong, is this how Concubine Zhao taught you the rules?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Kong gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and bowed to Liu Yuetang: "Our queen has always been well-educated and well-mannered, and will not tolerate your interference."
Liu Yuetang slapped the stone table, his whole body exuding a cold and intimidating aura.
"What a way to not allow me to have any say."
"Then I will have a say in this today."
"Xiao Zhongzi!"
Her voice was filled with majesty, and Xiao Zhongzi quickly understood what she meant and kicked Madam Kong on the calf.
Nanny Kong lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.
Liu Yuetang raised the corner of her eye sharply, and slowly twirled the pigeon-blood red ring on her thumb with her fingertips: "Liu Zheng, don't be afraid. I'll beat you until you're satisfied. I'll take care of anything that happens to you."
Madam Kong was startled and looked up at Liu Yuetang: "Empress Xi, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to beat you, what else can I do!" Liu Zheng was no longer afraid of the consequences.
Since the Empress has spoken, there is a guarantee that I will not be implicated.
She just wanted to vent her anger, make the empress proud, and let them know that the people in Yaoyue Palace were not easy to bully.
Liu Zheng approached Madam Kong step by step, raised her hand and slapped her hard on her wrinkled face.
"This slap is for your disrespect to Concubine Xi."
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "slap" sound, and the second slap came towards him with a strong wind.
"This slap is for you taking advantage of your status as Concubine Zhao to bully others."
Every time Liu Zheng said something, he would slap her hard.
Madam Kong was slapped so hard that she couldn't speak. She saw stars and her cheeks felt as hot as if they were burned by fire, as if her skin and flesh were torn off.
