Chapter 100
"Madam? Madam? Are you okay?"
Xiao Wuzi shouted at the top of his voice outside the rockery. Concubine Shu Gui turned around and replied: "I am fine. The scenery of the rockery is too beautiful. I was a little greedy for a while. Don't worry."
Then she turned to look at him: "After so many years, Fourteenth Master must be careful about everything. Don't let your injuries get wet, and don't contact the Hengjunwang Mansion. "
Fourteenth Master nodded slowly, quite pious.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me, Concubine? I'll give it to Yaozhi." Concubine
Shu Gui frowned: "Hmm?"
Then she lowered her eyes after she reacted.
In order to avoid suspicion, he actually attributed her concern just now to the explanation to Yaozhi.
She shook her head and said calmly, "No more."
The Fourteenth Master said slowly, "The Jiang family and the Prince Heng's Mansion have a deep relationship. I have previously discovered that the two families have secret correspondence. Although the Jiang family's property has been confiscated, there should still be some evidence left in the mansion. Please take care of the matter. He has been missing recently. No one except you should know how to contact him."
"Okay, thank you for reminding me, Master Fourteen."
Master Fourteen made way and said slowly, "Please, Madam Noble Consort, the scenery on the mountain is absolutely beautiful, please don't let me ruin your enjoyment of the beautiful scenery."
Shu Noble Consort raised her legs and passed by him, her sleeves brushing against his palm, just for a moment, it was fleeting, he wanted to hold her, but let go, let her disappear from his sight, then retracted his sight, turned around and walked from the other side.
She climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down at the scenery of the Forbidden City.
There was a glittering light in her eyes, the stars and the moon competed for brilliance, she could only spend her life here, even if she was unwilling, she could only continue to live unwillingly.
But from afar outside the palace...
Xiao Wuzi's voice suddenly rang out: "Madam, let's go. If you are late, the emperor will blame the servants for not serving him well."
Concubine Shu Gui stayed on the top of the mountain for a while, and then walked down the mountain slowly.
On the other side, the Fourteenth Master who was leaving was stopped by Yin Danying.
"Yao Yin didn't know that she had met the Fourteenth Master in the palace. Yao Yin thought that the Fourteenth Master had left after seeing the emperor." Yin Danying stood in front of the corridor and looked at him. She looked like she was not afraid of the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
The Fourteenth Master looked at her and nodded: "Yin Danying."
Yin Danying looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "The Fourteenth Master used to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for my brother Yaozhi. Why are you pretending to be unfamiliar with him now?" As soon
as these words came out, the palace maids and eunuchs passing by all looked at him sideways. Even Yin Danying's personal maid stepped forward and pulled Yin Danying's sleeve, lowering her eyes and saying: "My lady, there are so many people coming and going here. Don't talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion. It may arouse suspicion. . "
Yin Danying brushed her sleeves lightly, took a half step forward and said: "Fourteenth Master, have you seen my brother Yaozhi recently? He hasn't replied to my letters these days."
Fourteenth Master stepped back half a step, lowered his eyes and said: "I don't know where Yaozhi is. If Yin Danying knows, please tell me. I have a painting to discuss with him."
Yin Danying nodded: "Of course."
As soon as the voice fell, Fourteenth Master walked away.
His back was as straight as a pine tree, proud and handsome.
After Fourteenth Master left, more and more eunuchs and palace maids looked at Yin Danying.
Yin Danying's eyes were full of pride. She turned around and looked down at the maid in front of her, and said solemnly: "In the future, when this young lady is talking to the Fourteenth Master, don't interrupt. He is the emperor's younger brother. If he can say a few good words about me in front of the emperor, maybe I can be as favored as my elder sister."
The maid lowered her head in fear: "Yes, young lady."
After she finished speaking, Yin Danying raised her feet to leave, but she found that the little palace maids and eunuchs were pointing at her from behind.
She immediately stepped forward and said, "Where do you work for? How dare you talk about my young master behind my back? You are so bold!"
Yin Danying's maid stepped forward and pointed at the young palace maids and eunuchs and said, "Our young master entered the palace yesterday, and you are pointing fingers at her today. You are so unruly!"
After she finished speaking, the voice of Concubine Shu Gui followed.
"They are people in my palace. I don't know how they offended my sister, and you made your maid so harsh!"
Yin Danying saw Concubine Shu Gui and her face changed suddenly.
The humiliation of yesterday was vivid in her mind, but she was so calm, as if all the previous injustices did not exist.
Why!
But there is a hierarchy in the palace, and when she sees an enemy, she can only swallow her anger. Moreover, she was punished for disrespecting the superiors yesterday. If she enters the minefield again today, she will be beaten.
She endured the frustration in her heart, knelt down and paid a great respect: "Meeting the Empress Shuguifei, may the Empress Shuguifei live long and healthy."
The Empress Shuguifei raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised that she paid a great respect. She
became interested and said, "It was Yin Danying? I just punished you yesterday, why did you break the rules today? Is it possible that the nanny who taught you yesterday has not taught you yet, and you need me to teach you personally?"
Yin Danying raised her eyes subconsciously, and the word "no" was already on her lips, but she swallowed it back.
She said calmly: "Her Majesty Shugui is in charge of the six palaces, and she has the power to reward and punish. If Her Majesty punishes me, I will definitely not say a word of objection."
Shugui looked down at her, her eyes full of teasing.
All kinds of past events came to her mind.
Her father favored his concubine and killed his wife. Zong Yaoyin's biological mother, Aunt Lian, was a favored concubine. She had repeatedly taken advantage of her favor to seize the resources of her legitimate daughter and put them on Zong Yaoyin's head. Because of this, her mother and their siblings became the laughing stock of the capital.
If the emperor had not named her later, she would have been useless in the mansion for the rest of her life, and maybe even the husband she had promised to marry would have become Zong Yaoyin's.
In the end, she could only pick up the waste that Zong Yaoyin didn't want and marry a common man for a hasty life.
But today, she is the superior and Zong Yaoyin is the inferior.
Although it is despicable, she is very happy.
She turned her eyes to the personal maid beside Yin Danying and said lightly: "It was you who yelled at the people in my palace just now? Even if you beat the dog, you should look at the owner. You are so harsh and stern. Don't you take me seriously?"
Yin Danying and the maid were still kneeling. Hearing this, Yin Danying's maid immediately kowtowed
and begged for mercy. "Madam Shuguifei, I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me."
Shuguifei said solemnly: "Raise your head."
The maid raised her head tremblingly.
When they saw her face, both Shu Guifei and Mi Chun had a flash of hatred in their eyes.
This was Ping'er, the personal maidservant beside Concubine Lian.
When Yaozhi was seven years old, he unfortunately fell into the water. There was only thirteen-year-old Ping'er nearby...
When Yaozhi was ten years old, he was accused of stealing Concubine Lian's land deed to mortgage for gambling, and was hung on the beam and beaten. It was Ping'er who came forward to testify that he saw it with his own eyes...
When Yaozhi was twelve years old, there was a famine. The Prime Minister's Mansion responded to the court's call and transported most of the food to the disaster area. There was a lack of food and clothing. Concubine Lian withheld all the food in the mansion. Ping'er kicked Yaozhi, who was waiting for half a steamed bun outside Concubine Lian's yard, overturned it, and threw the steamed bun in her hand to a dog raised by Zong Yaoyin...
