Chapter 15: No Martial Ethics
Hurt?
Xiao Jingfan frowned and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
"In reply to your Majesty, Miss Liu Zheng's hand was burned and red, and blisters appeared. The pain was so severe that her eyes were red."
Zhou Yuande exaggerated a little at the right time.
"I have specially asked Xiao Anzi to send Bihen ointment to Miss Liu Zheng. She should be able to recover after two days of rest."
Xiao Jingfan felt relieved. As long as it wasn't serious, it shouldn't affect the "system".
He nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over Cuiyun, "New here?"
"Your servant Cuiyun pays respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well and safe."
Without waiting for Zhou Yuande to answer, Cuiyun answered first, then bowed to Xiao Jingfan, her slender and graceful figure looking so graceful.
Zhou Yuande, who was standing next to him, saw this and his eyelids jumped. This guy was trying to make trouble!
Xiao Jingfan didn't call out, but instead lowered his eyes to glance at Cuiyun's deliberately concave figure, "Which palace did you work for before?"
Your Majesty, are you concerned about her?
Cuiyun was delighted, and her voice became even more gentle and graceful: "Your Majesty, I used to work in the Clothing Bureau, and was only transferred to Wenhua Palace by the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs the other day to serve Your Majesty."
She looked up at the enchanting man in front of her with admiration, the affection in her eyes almost overflowing, and her tone was filled with infinite shyness: "It is a great blessing for this servant to be able to serve Your Majesty."
If Chu Liuzheng were present, he would definitely praise Cuiyun as a warrior.
I wonder if the grass on the grave of the person who said this to the tyrant last time is already three meters high?
Zhou Yuande chanted the Buddha's name in his heart.
All his words were in vain, this girl was just trying to get herself into trouble.
Cuiyun was completely unaware of these things. Even if she knew, she would only think that those people were not pretty enough or had bad figures, and were not pleasing to Emperor Shunguang.
For this day, she practiced hard for a whole year, striving to appear in front of Emperor Shunguang in the most beautiful posture.
Now that she has done it, His Majesty has begun to care about her.
Today must be a good day for her to rise to the top and become a phoenix!
As long as His Majesty likes her, she won't have to be trampled underfoot, flatter, or be servile.
She can have as many white jade rings with better water content as she wants.
A lowly servant like Chu Liuzheng who bullies slaves can be killed with just one word from her!
As long as she can climb to a high position, as long as...
With her heart filled with infinite hope and longing, Cuiyun maintained a beautiful and difficult posture, slightly tilting her head, looking at Emperor Shunguang affectionately, waiting for the man to reach out and hold her up.
But instead of holding hands, I only got a face that looked like it was about to take a storm.
Xiao Jingfan's face was sullen. "You dare serve me without even learning the proper etiquette? Do you think Wenhua Palace is a place where anyone can stay? Does Wang Jinzhong, the head steward of the Imperial Household Department, no longer want to do his job?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Zhou Yuande skillfully asked someone to drag Cuiyun out.
"Since you haven't learned the rules well, send him to the laundry department to continue learning. Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Anger is harmful to your health."
Xiao Jingfan looked at him coldly. Zhou Yuande smiled apologetically and brought him a cup of hot tea. "Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select someone myself. I guarantee I'll pick someone who follows the proper etiquette and regulations."
Xiao Jingfan took the tea and took a sip, and felt that the taste was not right.
If you don’t learn the rules well, you can’t even make tea!
He put down the teacup with disgust, and thought of Chu Liuzheng for no reason.
Although the woman always cursed him in her heart, her tea-making skills were indeed good, and she could always serve him tea and snacks that suited his taste when she was on duty.
"Your Majesty!" After the initial shock, Cuiyun, who was held on the left and right by two young eunuchs, began to struggle.
She worked hard to plan and spend a lot of money to get Wang Jinzhong's apprentice to agree to transfer her to serve the emperor. How could she be willing to be punished to work in the laundry department, the hardest and most tiring job in the entire palace?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I will follow Miss Liu Zheng and learn the rules. Please have mercy on me!"
Zhou Yuande's lips twitched slightly. This eye dropper was saying that she hadn't learned the rules well because Chu Liuzheng hadn't taught her well. Was he trying to drag Chu Liuzheng into this?
He stole a glance at his Majesty's reaction.
Xiao Jingfan didn't even frown as he picked up the red pen and continued to review the memorial.
Cuiyun was gagged and dragged out, and soon the outside of the hall became quiet again.
Xiao Jingfan circled the memorial and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Yuande, summon the Minister of Justice and the Left Vice Minister of Justice to the audience."
"only."
*
"puff--"
Chu Liuzheng, who was used to reading gossip in her spare time, was so startled that she spat out a mouthful of tea, choking her and making her cough.
"No, I just rested for less than half a day, and Cuiyun was punished to go to the laundry? She wasn't even allowed to put away her things."
Chu Liuzheng patted his chest to stop coughing, and used his consciousness to pull the invisible progress bar down.
[The tea-serving maid Cuiyun attempted to seduce Emperor Shunguang, but was instead condemned to serve in the laundry department by the emperor, who despised her for not learning the proper etiquette. Wang Jinzhong, the head of the Imperial Household Department, was reprimanded for his poor selection of personnel and nearly had his position removed from him.]
Even the chief steward Wang, who is the best at changing his stance according to the situation, was implicated. How serious has Cuiyun committed suicide?
Chu Liuzheng suddenly felt that he was injured at the right time. If she were there, she might also be implicated by Cuiyun.
It turns out that staying hidden is the best way to go.
Lying down in a different position, Chu Liuzheng continued to read gossip.
Consort Chun personally prepared a nourishing chicken soup and sent it to Wenhua Palace. Emperor Shunguang agreed to dine with Consort Chun at Maohua Palace tonight.
Wow! Did Concubine Chun finally master the Secret Play Chart and challenge the Tyrant to a real fight?
If the system could see the video... ahem, she wouldn't even watch the video, she's a serious person.
However, when it comes to visiting the harem, the tyrant can be considered a peculiar emperor.
Although he is not interested in women, he has quite a few concubines in his harem, and all of them are beauties.
Although he was said to be fond of women, he ignored the many beauties in his harem and devoted himself to state affairs. He loved memorials and the number of times he went to the harem every month could be counted on one hand.
If the Empress Dowager had not invited people to the Wanshou Palace to persuade him several times, he probably wouldn't have even been slapped.
The tyrant also had a quirk: even if he visited a concubine, he would not stay overnight in the concubine's palace. The same was true when he summoned a concubine to have sex with him. After the affair was over, he would send the concubine away.
Except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month when he stayed in the empress's Changchun Palace, the tyrant rested alone in the Yangxin Palace at other times.
The beauty guarding the palace lives the life of an ascetic monk.
This is also one of the reasons why tyrants have few offspring.
If you want to harvest more, you have to work harder.
How can you have children without hard work? Do you rely on the grassland on your head?
Chu Liuzheng smacked her lips and was about to continue reading the gossip when she suddenly heard someone calling her from outside the door.
"Is Miss Liu Zheng here?"
I have never heard this voice before, it is very unfamiliar.
Chu Liuzheng stood up and hid a sharpened hairpin in his sleeve, then went to the door and took a look outside.
The window paper was hazy and only a vague outline could be seen.
Judging from his clothes, he is a tall and slender eunuch.
She opened the door and went out, "Excuse me, who is your father-in-law?"
The young eunuch smiled and said, "Young lady, you can just call me Xiao Yuanzi. Steward Wang ordered me to come and ask you to go to the Imperial Household Department to have a talk."
The Chief Eunuch Wang of the Imperial Household Department...Wang Jinzhong?
What do you want to see her for?
Chu Liuzheng frowned secretly. Could it be because Cuiyun was punished to work in the laundry department?
Just as she was about to ask more details, she suddenly saw Xiao Yuanzi raise his hand and a handful of powder covered her head.
Chu Liuzheng was startled and wanted to hold his breath but it was too late.
【No martial ethics! 】
The world before my eyes spun, and eventually turned to darkness.
A small pearl flower fell from her hair and landed quietly on the threshold.
