"Everyone, please disperse."
The Queen stood up, and the others followed suit.
"Qi Gengyi has a weak spleen and stomach, so take good care of yourself. There is no need to come to pay your respects to me."
This sentence was tantamount to sentencing Qi Gengyi to death.
Qi Gengyi used his hands and feet to crawl towards the queen, trying to grab the hem of her skirt.
"Queen...hiccup...Queen forgiveness...hiccup."
Qi Gengyi's cries were so mournful, and accompanied by a hiccup or two, they seemed particularly funny.
This action completely angered the Queen. Before the Queen could say anything, Concubine Rou beside the Queen punished her: "Qi Gengyi offended the Queen and is punished to kneel for an hour."
Concubine Yi said, "Sisters, please take this as a warning and do not follow Qi Gengyi's example and disrespect the Empress."
"The Empress is the mother of the nation. Little Gengyi yelled at the Empress, so I slap her twenty times."
Being punished by kneeling for an hour tortured Qi Gengyi's body, and being slapped in the face twenty times humiliated Qi Gengyi's dignity.
Qi Gengyi knelt straight with an aloof expression. She was very dissatisfied with the punishment she received, but the nanny who was in charge of slapping her would not allow her to be so proud.
He lifted his sleeves and slapped her in the face. Qi Gengyi's face turned red immediately. After three slaps, her face was swollen and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
From the moment she started, the nanny had the intention of destroying this face.
Chuchu stood in the distance and watched.
Bian Tao cursed inwardly, "Serves him right! Qi Gengyi is so vicious! If the master hadn't run fast, he would have been the one to be punished for being late for greetings today."
Chuchu said, "We have to get up early tomorrow. We can't be so anxious anymore."
Gu Yingxia stood against the tree, and Gu Yinwei talked to her.
"Such a fool should be eliminated as soon as possible."
"After all, a human life is not a weed. If she doesn't do anything bad, it's okay to spare her life." Gu Yinwei did not approve of killing.
Gu Yingxia touched her chin, walked back and forth, her brows furrowed, her eyes looking at her toes.
"There's no grudge, so why did Qi Gengyi deliberately disrupt the night watch in your room? The ladies making the most noise when they go out are quite noisy, and none of you three heard anything?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Perhaps you have offended someone unintentionally. You must save your life and wait for me to rescue you. See you later." Gu Yingxia took Ah Qing away.
Gu Yinwei pondered Gu Yingxia's words.
She had offended someone invisibly. Who did she offend? Why didn't she know it at all?
Qi Gengyi was punished by being made to kneel and beaten. After being tortured, she locked the door and refused to see anyone.
Gu Yinwei passed by her door and scared her so much that she even closed the window.
The days in the harem passed by like flowing water. Apart from paying respects to the queen on time every day, there was nothing else to do. All they did was eat snacks and read picture books.
The beauties in Cangzhu Palace were all very well-behaved. Some entered the palace to save money to send back home, some entered the palace to save their lives, and some fantasized about becoming a favorite concubine.
Gu Yingwei is different from them. They pretend to be very leisurely, but Gu Yingwei is really idle.
There was plenty of luck in the harem, and Gu Yinwei, adhering to the principle of not taking advantage of it, took advantage of the time between paying respects to circle around the harem.
Gu Yinwei took Chuchu and Biantao around in circles, circling more in places with sufficient luck and skipping over places with insufficient luck.
Ning Heyu has been depressed since her leg was bitten by the Black Widow. She arranged for Qi Gengyi to do something bad, but failed.
Concubine Yi only knew how to please the Queen and refused to help her vent her anger. Ning Heyu didn't give Qi Gengyi the money she promised. She messed up her job and got scolded by her cousin. Yet she still had the nerve to ask her for money. Where did she get the nerve?
She knew all the time and place when Gu Yinwei went out, and she chose the right time to go out and block her.
When Gu Yinwei saw that something was wrong, she quickly ran away. There was no place for cultivation in palace fighting.
Ning Heyu hid in the grass for a long time, but instead of waiting for Gu Yinwei, she waited for Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Yi are both in the Queen's camp. One is the Queen's dirty glove, and the other is the Queen's flesh trumpet.
Both of them worked for the queen, but they did not get along with each other. After all, the queen did not want to see her subordinates being too united.
"Is Ning Shuyi also here to see the sycamore tree? What a coincidence."
"Your Highness greets Her Majesty Roufei."
"I heard that you and Concubine Yi grew up together, and that Concubine Yi's family fell into poverty when she was young. Is this true?"
"It is indeed true. At that time, Concubine Yi was only seven years old. Her aunt and uncle passed away early, so my mother took Concubine Yi to live with the Ning family."
"You are such a wonderful person, come and see us."
The palace maid behind Concubine Rou carried silver notes with her for rewards, and each time she gave out a reward, it would be one hundred taels.
Ning Heyu was not short of money, but when Concubine Rou gave her the money, she still happily accepted it.
"Ning Shuyi, please come to Jingyang Palace more often in the future and chat with me to relieve my boredom."
Ning Heyu agreed without hesitation after receiving the reward.
Gu Yinwei stood far away, watched for a while and then left in a hurry.
"Ning Shuyi is going to be in trouble."
After he finished speaking, a loud thunder exploded in the sky, and Chuchu opened a big umbrella and held it high above Gu Yinwei's head.
Bian Tao echoed, "There's a grudge between Concubine Yi and Concubine Rou. Ning Shuyi, as Concubine Yi's sister, is so outspoken and flattering Concubine Rou by using Concubine Yi's private matters. How can Concubine Yi let her off so easily?"
Chu Chu was puzzled: "But Concubine Yi and Ning Shuyi are cousins and grew up together. There must be some affection between them."
Bian Tao said slowly, "Our eldest daughter and third daughter have the same father but different mothers, and they grew up together. Do you think there is any affection between them?"
"this……"
Chuchu stopped talking. The raindrops fell on the leaves with a crackling sound, as if someone was setting off firecrackers. Soon the ground was filled with puddles of varying depths.
The palace maids in the laundry department were busy collecting clothes on bamboo poles, and the rainwater under the eaves gathered into a line.
Bian Tao poured Gu Yinwei a cup of hot tea, and Chu Chu found clean clothes for Gu Yinwei to change.
The sound of rain, wind and dogs barking is pleasant to the ears.
In a side hall of Hefeng Hall lived the sickly Chen Zhaoyi, who had no other hobbies except raising dogs.
"It would be better if both Concubine Yi and Concubine Rou fell. Suddenly there would be two more concubines, and one of them would eventually be mine."
Ah Qing burst into tears: "The master's dream of becoming his favorite concubine is finally coming true."
"Hold back your tears, it's still early. Concubine Yi and Concubine Rou are both the principal wives of the palace. They won't fall down easily."
"When two armies fight, if the pawn dies first, I will secretly add fuel to the fire for Ning Heyu."
"Clang."
The colorful glass cup fell heavily to the ground, longans and red dates rolled all over the floor, and tea spilled all over the floor.
Ning Heyu's hand trembled, and a trace of bright red blood flowed out on the back of her hand. The fragments of glass cut her arm.
"Cousin." Ning Heyu cried.
"Shut up and don't call me cousin. I'm the Consort Yi appointed by the Emperor himself, not anyone's cousin."
“It hurts, my hand hurts.
Ning Heyu hugged her arms and cried. The palace maid came forward to support her, but Concubine Yi stopped her sternly.
