It turned out to be about the incident of serving the emperor in the emperor's bed yesterday. Sheng Xiyan realized the situation of being targeted because of thunder and rain. The women in the harem were fighting for a place here.
There were many concubines, and some of them could not see the emperor all year round, so they naturally regarded sleeping with him as more important than anything else.
"Sister Jieyu, it's not my decision to sleep with you, and I don't know if I've ruined your good fortune, but I still want to apologize to you."
Originally, she was sincerely apologizing, but with two people instigating her, Lin Xiuyi exaggerated it and said:
"Sister Gao, on your birthday, the Emperor must have wanted you to sleep with him. Noble Lady Sheng must have used some seductive trick to change the Emperor's mind. We need to teach her a lesson."
Gao Jieyu ordered: "Kneel down!"
Although there is no such rule in the palace, it is common for concubines of higher rank to bully concubines of lower rank. Concubine Min hurriedly pulled Sheng Xiyan, "Sister, kneel down quickly and admit your mistake to Sister Jieyu."
Sheng Xiyan thought that if she kept silent today, they would bully her even more in the future.
"Sister Jieyu, I've explained everything to you and tried to comfort you. If you still don't understand, go talk to the Emperor. After all, it was his decision that made what happened last night."
"You, who are you showing your sharp tongue to?"
Gao Jieyu raised her hand and slapped Sheng Xiyan, making her see stars. She had never seen such bullying before. Sheng Xiyan grabbed her hair and slapped her on the head in return.
The other three concubines were shocked. The harem had never seen a concubine of lower rank dare to fight a concubine higher than her.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you helping?"
Lin Xiuyi and Chunpin rushed forward to beat Sheng Xiyan. Min Meiren didn't dare to go forward and hid behind trembling in fear. Hua Xia and Meixiang went up to separate them, and Hua Xia even crawled under their arms to protect Sheng Xiyan.
Several people were fighting, which attracted a lot of people to watch.
"Stop fighting! The Empress Shufei's cudgel is coming!"
Everyone in the palace knew that among the four concubines, Concubine Shu was the one most appreciated by the emperor. She was the person with the most say in the emperor's eyes besides Empress Duan, so everyone in the palace was a little wary of her.
On the chariot, Concubine Shu saw several people fighting.
"Go see what happened?"
The head nanny came over and everyone let go of their hands. Sheng Xiyan and Gao Jieyu had bruises on their faces, and the others were not much better off, with messy hair.
"My dear ladies, the Concubine Shu invites you. Will you please come over?"
When several people came forward, Concubine Shu saw Sheng Xiyan and sneered:
"Noble Lady Sheng, you're truly capable. You're already fighting here on your second day after entering the palace? Are you hoping the Emperor will come here and witness this? Don't you even consider the situation? Who are you representing? Are you representing yourself?"
The last two sentences specifically indicated that she represented the Prince of E's Palace. Sheng Xiyan stroked her face and said aggrievedly, "My Lady, it was Concubine Gao who hit me first."
Gao Jieyu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Sheng who was ignorant and sharp-tongued. I couldn't stand it and said a few words to her, so she took the palace maids and beat people up."
Concubine Shu ordered, "You have disregarded the palace rules and disturbed the inner palace. I will punish you by making you kneel here until midnight before you can leave."
The hour of Hai? Wouldn't that mean waiting until everyone is asleep, deep in the night, when everyone is asleep?
Sheng Xiyan said boldly, "Your Majesty, I have to go back and look after Jiang Jiang. He just arrived at the palace and is not used to it yet. I'm afraid he will cry and make a fuss."
Concubine Shu had never given birth, so how could she understand the complexity of raising a child? She said ruthlessly, "With the wet nurse here, the child will be fine. You should kneel down and learn this lesson."
In this way, Sheng Xiyan, Gao Jieyu and three other concubines knelt on the bluestone road.
Concubine Gao cursed, "It's all because of you, this evildoer, that I'm forced to kneel down!"
Sheng Xiyan gently stroked her numb knees, too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She was worried about Jiang Jiang. It was already dark now, and she didn't know if he was crying or making a fuss. She just hoped that time would pass faster and faster.
An hour later, Concubine Gao suddenly fainted.
Lin Xiuyi shouted, "Sister Gao! Sister Gao, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Chun also shook Concubine Gao vigorously, and both of them panicked. "Should we go call the imperial physician? My legs are numb and I can't walk."
Sheng Xiyan glanced at Concubine Gao and said, "Stop shaking her, or even the imperial physician won't be able to help her."
I really don't want to care about this vicious concubine, but Sheng Xiyan has been influenced by her father since she was a child. In the eyes of the doctor, all beings are equal, and there is no reason not to save them.
He looked at her eyelids and took her pulse.
"Lay her down flat on her back."
Lin Xiuyi and Chunpin did as they were told, and then they saw Sheng Xiyan hitting Gao Jieyu's shoulders.
Sheng Xiyan said, "You are her maid, go find the imperial physician right away."
"Oh, okay."
After a long time, no imperial physician came. Sheng Xiyan found that Concubine Gao's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, which was not good.
"Which of you two will give her air with your mouth?"
Lin Xiuyi and Chunpin quickly waved their hands, "That won't do. We can't do that."
"If you want to save her, you can only help her breathe. Aren't you supposed to be friends? Your friendship is fake, isn't it?"
Concubine Chun, who had the lowest rank among the three, made up her mind and said, "I'll do it. I'll help Sister Gao with her breathing."
Following Sheng Xiyan's order, she took a deep breath and kissed Gao Jieyu several times.
"Get out of the way."
Sheng Xiyan clasped her hands together and pressed Gao Jieyu's breasts hard.
After a while, when the imperial physician arrived, Concubine Gao choked and woke up.
The imperial physician felt her pulse and said, "Fortunately, she was saved in time. If she hadn't been saved in time, her fainting would have caused a cerebral hemorrhage and would have been fatal."
Lin Xiuyi and Concubine Chun said to Concubine Gao, "Sister Gao, it was Concubine Sheng who saved you."
Gao Jieyu's face was pale, and Sheng Xiyan stood up with difficulty. Her knees were painful and numb from kneeling, and she had lost consciousness.
