I haven't seen my dad act in a few days. I didn't expect that after three days, I'd be amazed. My dad's acting skills are much better than before!
If it weren't for my sharp eyes, and my mother's calm reaction, I almost wouldn't have realized my father was acting.
[Empress Jing, don't be nervous or worried. Just calm down and put your heart back in your stomach. This is really irreversible. Nothing will happen to you or my mother.]
At this moment, Feng Yinzhen in the courtyard frowned and spoke again.
"But ah, Fang promised, how did you become like this?"
"It was the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing who forced me to copy the scriptures on the stone pavement in the courtyard. The Imperial Concubine disliked my handwriting and thought I was being perfunctory.
So she asked Miss Suzhi to pour a basin of ice water for me, and tied my hair to a tree, letting me hang my head from the beam and prick my legs with a needle, so that I became like this..."
When Zhen Qia heard Feng Yinzhen's gentle voice, she felt even more aggrieved.
What flashed through her mind was the scene in her previous life where Feng Yinzhen gently held her in his arms, comforting her again and again, with a trace of affection rippling through her.
Although she always emphasized that she had no reaction to Feng Yinzhen and just wanted to use him as a tool, her heart still unconsciously surged when she saw Feng Yinzhen's concerned eyes.
At least, Feng Yinzhen will still like her and protect her, right?
But Zhen Qia did not forget her green tea tactics. After reporting Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing, she immediately lowered her eyes and spoke softly.
"But these are what I have to bear. It was I who accidentally hurt the maid. Your Majesty, I dare not complain about the way the noble concubine has treated me.
Moreover, the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing are in charge of the six palaces, and they use iron-blooded methods as a rule. I do not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction when these methods are used on me.
Your Majesty, please do not hold Imperial Concubine Gui and Imperial Concubine Jing accountable because of me..."
"No, I want to ask you, during the selection, you were dressed very plainly and properly, and you could tell at a glance that you were from a respectable family.
Why aren't you wearing your outer garment today? The collar is torn so wide open, and you're sitting there with your hair disheveled. I thought a prostitute had been sent into the palace."
Feng Yinzhen frowned and interrupted Zhen Cai's words, not hiding the disgust on his face.
Zhen Cai's tears stopped instantly, her tearful eyes froze, and she stared at Feng Yinzhen blankly.
prostitute?
Feng Yinzhen actually compared her to a prostitute?
She looks like Queen Hunfang!
In his previous life, Feng Yinzhen was obsessed with her at first sight, and then he doted on her even more. It can be said that he held her in his palm for fear of dropping her and held her in his mouth for fear of melting her. If she had not discovered the truth about being spoiled and got angry and broke up with him, she would not have fallen out of favor at all.
But in this life, Feng Yinzhen actually called her a prostitute.
This kind of humiliation is more painful than slapping her in the face.
[Hahaha! I told you, my dad was just acting, and sure enough, he gave this green tea bastard a good humiliation! What a relief!]
[To be honest, my father wasn't wrong. As soon as Zhen Cai heard that my father was coming, she immediately pulled at her collar and tried to expose her breasts. Isn't this the behavior of a prostitute?]
[And it has to be the lowest kind of prostitute, selling their body. The higher-class ones are called "qingguanren," selling their art but not their bodies! Even the middle-class prostitutes flirt with their charm, not their breasts!]
Feng Wanwan was not only smiling in her heart, but also on her face. She was giggling and was extremely happy.
Concubine Hua couldn't help but smile. Concubine Jing on the side finally reacted and looked at Feng Yinzhen in disbelief.
She couldn't understand. Didn't the emperor notice that Fang Da Ying looked similar to the late Queen Hunfang?
Another person who has this question is Zhen Cai.
Zhen Cai felt something was wrong. Even if she and Feng Yinzhen had not met before, Feng Yinzhen would never treat her like this just because of her face that looked so much like Queen Hunfang.
Feng Yinzhen was like this, it must be because she did not draw the distant mountain eyebrows today, so it did not evoke Feng Yinzhen's good memories of Queen Hunfang.
She couldn't give up yet.
So Zhen Qia took another deep breath, suppressed her anger, quickly pulled up her collar, and then used her fingers to gather the loose hair in front of her face behind her ears.
Forced a sweet smile.
"Yes, it was my fault.
It’s just that Miss Suzhi splashed water on me and pulled my hair just now, and my collar might have been torn at that time.
But no matter what, I am also responsible for making the emperor unhappy.
Could you please ask the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jing to let me go for a while and allow me to dress up again? At least, allow me to put on my outer clothes and then pay my respects to the Emperor properly, please?"
Anyway, her collar and hair could not be her sole responsibility. It was Concubine Hua who instructed Suzhi to do it.
She didn't ask for anything now, just a chance to dress up.
As long as she put on her makeup, painted her eyebrows like distant mountains, and put on her clothes.
The emperor will definitely be shocked by her face that looks so similar to Queen Hunfang, and will show all his love to her!
Feng Yinzhen frowned again and spoke.
"Suzhi splashed water on you but didn't pull your clothes. She tied your hair and should have combed out the fine hairs. Your hair should have been neater and cleaner, so why did it become even messier?
It's obvious that you are talking nonsense.
Moreover, there has never been a rule in the palace for concubines to punish palace maids. What's more, you are not the head of a palace and you broke the leg of a palace maid. This behavior is indeed bad.
"The Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Jing sent you to copy scriptures in the courtyard, which was already a very light punishment. You actually dared to complain in front of me, twist the facts, and try to frame the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Jing. You truly deserve a beating!"
"emperor!"
Zhen Qia never expected that this would be the ending she was waiting for. She screamed.
Not only Zhen Qia was surprised, but also Jingfei.
She was completely stunned, standing there with her eyes wide open, looking at Feng Yinzhen in disbelief, who had a calm expression.
Then he pulled Concubine Hua's hand and called out in a low, trembling voice.
"Sister, sister, the emperor..."
"Yes, that's right, the Emperor will never be fooled by this Fang, her wishful thinking will not work at all.
Don't worry, this is really good. I've definitely copied the Heart Sutra 100 times today."
Concubine Hua pursed her lips and smiled, holding Concubine Jing's hand, and looked at Zhen Qia, whose face was becoming increasingly dejected.
"Not only do we have to copy the Heart Sutra neatly, but we're also likely to get a slap in the face. So, we two sisters will just sit here and watch the fun unfold."
Sure enough, Feng Yinzhen spoke again.
"Fang promised Zhenca, you did something wrong first, but you refused to accept the punishment properly. You even turned right into wrong and slandered Concubine Gui and Concubine Jing in front of me. I will punish you with 200 slaps in the face."
He also looked at Liu Zhu who was kneeling there and trembling.
"You are the maidservant who served Fang Yanying. You are the one who slapped Fang Yanying two hundred times."
