"She is just a little girl. How can she not kneel down and worship? I am the Queen Mother!"
"I, the king of a country, can ask Yiyi not to kneel, so the Queen Mother can do the same!" Emperor Donglin frowned and cast a suspicious look at the fake Queen Mother, "When did the Queen Mother become so narrow-minded? In the past, even if the younger generation did not kneel down to the Queen Mother, they were not so aggressive!"
"You..." The fake queen mother's face suddenly changed, and the back of her clothes was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Concubine Hui's heart also skipped a beat. She quickly moved to the side of the phoenix chair and pulled at the fake empress dowager's phoenix robe to remind her that enough was enough.
The fake queen mother knew that she had gone too far, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Concubine Hui stepped forward and pleaded guilty, taking the blame. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Queen Mother is so angry because of me. Although Concubine Liang did not do what happened back then, Concubine Shu also schemed against me because of her. I was unwilling to accept this, so I cried to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother did everything just to give me a small punishment for Concubine Liang and her daughter!"
In order to prevent Emperor Donglin from doubting the fake empress dowager's character and attitude, Concubine Hui simply said that the empress dowager loved her and was avenging her.
At this time, Concubine Hui secretly regretted in her heart, knowing that this matter was a bit reckless! She did not really realize the true importance of Xiao Ruoyi in the heart of Emperor Donglin.
I thought I could use the Third Prince to embarrass Concubine Liang and her daughter and make them suffer, like making Concubine Liang kneel in the northwest wind just now, preferably for a whole day.
But now she has failed miserably. Not only has she failed successfully, but she has also been punished by Emperor Donglin to take care of the Queen Mother.
...
...
Yes, for Concubine Hui, taking care of the Queen Mother was a punishment.
If the fake Queen Mother knew what Concubine Hui was thinking, she would probably be so angry that she would want to vomit blood because she had given everything for Concubine Hui, but now Concubine Hui thinks that taking care of her is a punishment.
Of course, the fake empress dowager didn't know this. She was looking at Concubine Hui worriedly. In order to prevent Emperor Donglin from suspecting that she was fake, she actually took the blame herself.
"Jing'er!"
Concubine Hui raised her head, looking at Emperor Donglin with a pitiful look, then turned around and gave the Queen Mother a quick "shut up" look, "Queen Mother, I'm sorry, it's all Jing'er's fault. Jing'er shouldn't have kept complaining about what happened in front of you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have damaged your dignity as the Queen Mother in order to avenge Jing'er!"
After receiving Concubine Hui's hint, the fake Queen Mother knew what Concubine Hui meant and immediately made a distressed expression.
There was no lack of praise in his words, "Jing'er, you are so kind! I just want to stand up for you!"
However, Emperor Donglin could not accept the "friendship" between the two people and only felt a little disgusted.
Emperor Donglin snorted coldly, interrupting the two people's sentimental conversation. He looked at Concubine Hui with disgust in his eyes, "Oh, I didn't know you were so narrow-minded! You have a heart as vicious as a snake!"
Xiao Ruoyi, who was leaning against Concubine Liang's legs, bit her finger and watched the show, "Wow! I remember that Daddy was always very gentle to Concubine Hui and never scolded her! He scolded her so harshly today, Concubine Hui must be heartbroken!"
Prince Jin also nodded in agreement, isn't it!
I wonder if my brother really liked Concubine Hui before? Or was it because of Empress Dowager Gu Nianzhen that he always indulged Concubine Hui.
Only now that he knew everything that Concubine Hui had planned back then, his attitude towards her changed 180 degrees.
As expected, Concubine Hui was filled with shock and disbelief. Every word Emperor Donglin said was heartbreaking.
Although she knew that she might offend Emperor Donglin,
She never thought that Emperor Donglin would actually scold her! What he said was so heartbreaking.
This shouldn't be the ending she imagined!
In the past, Emperor Donglin would always take the Empress Dowager's feelings into consideration and speak more gently to her.
But today, Emperor Donglin was so cold and indifferent to her. Was it because she had been away for too long? Or was it because of Concubine Liang and her daughter?
No! Absolutely not!
"emperor!"
Emperor Donglin glared angrily, "What? Is what I said wrong? If you are not narrow-minded, how can you hate Concubine Liang and her daughter who were also framed and sent to the cold palace and suffered so much?"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
Concubine Hui's eyes were wandering around, she didn't know how to answer, and she felt guilty and angry.
Speaking of her like this in front of so many people, and in front of Concubine Liang and her daughter, she felt like she was losing all her face.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui with distress and worry, and angrily condemned Emperor Donglin, "Your Majesty, what are you doing! I just feel unfair for Jing'er. If you had not favored Concubine Liang alone, this would not have happened!"
Emperor Donglin had a cold and sharp look on his handsome and majestic face. "Mother, you once taught me not to act on impulse, but now you have forgotten what you taught me!"
The fake queen mother choked again. Facing the kingly aura emanating from Emperor Donglin, she explained with some stammering, "I... I just want to pamper the younger generation I like. What's wrong with that?"
"My Queen Mother loves her juniors, so I do too! But Yiyi is my Achilles' heel! No one can hurt her! Including my Queen Mother! I hope my Queen Mother won't embarrass me! Otherwise, I really don't know what I will do!"
Emperor Donglin's expression was stern, and his sharp black eyes were like a bottomless black hole in the universe, making it impossible to look directly at them and filled with fear.
In the entire palace, everyone felt the domineering aura of Emperor Donglin. There was silence everywhere, and even the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui were silent.
Only Xiao Ruoyi's excited voice echoed in the minds of Emperor Donglin and the other two.
[Oh, I never thought that my dad could be so handsome! He shocked all the cats and dogs! He is so domineering, there is no one like him! ]
Emperor Donglin, "..."
Daddy's little baby! You can praise Daddy, but don't say anything about cats and dogs. It seems that Daddy has no deterrent power!
Prince Jin pursed his lips tightly and his shoulders relaxed greatly. He also heard what Xiao Ruoyi said in her heart. Why did he feel that his royal brother exuded not the aura of a king, but the aura of a cuckold?
"emperor!"
Without waiting for Concubine Hui to defend herself, Emperor Donglin waved his sleeves and issued an order, "I remember that you have taken good care of my mother for the past few years. I will not demote you to a concubine for the time being, but you must copy the Heart Sutra a hundred times!"
"Wha...what..."
Concubine Hui looked up in shock and stared at Emperor Donglin.
She never imagined that Emperor Donglin would be so cruel to punish her in this way.
This punishment not only really punished her, but also made her lose face in the harem!
"Your Majesty!" The fake empress dowager was also worried that Concubine Hui would be looked down upon by her father-in-law's concubines after being punished, so she quickly spoke up for her.
Emperor Donglin glanced coldly at the fake queen mother, "Or does the queen mother want me to demote her to a concubine as a punishment?"
