Chapter 339 The Feeling of Giving Up
Shen Chuliu knew in her heart that the emperor did not mind at all.
But it was Concubine Xin's own people who brought death upon herself, or rather, she brought death upon herself, so she can't blame anyone else.
The emperor could just ignore her for a while, but Concubine Xin would only be more unlucky.
After all, the emperor had not been to Yongning Palace since she announced her pregnancy.
To be honest, it was already a joke that Concubine Xin failed to intercept the enemy before, and now she sent people to attack Concubine Jing, and failed...
Instead, he asked Jing Zhaoyi to beat her personal eunuchs and palace maids like pigs.
It even alarmed the Emperor. How embarrassing!
After this incident, Shen Chuliu recovered from his illness ahead of schedule and appeared in Fengzao Palace within a few days.
As long as life continues, the fight will never stop!
Concubine Xin won't come. She is pregnant and has been embarrassed all the time, so why would she come?
The Queen now asked Shen Chuliu, "I thought you were still sick, so I didn't ask about what happened the day before yesterday. What happened?"
Shen Chuliu smiled and stood up to answer. The general meaning was that Empress Xin's servant Shu Empress Xin wanted to slap herself in the face and then spoke rudely. So she beat Empress Xin's people.
"Oh, a concubine slaps the imperial concubine in the mouth? This is something new." Concubine Jin laughed.
The Queen glanced at Concubine Jin and thought to herself that this was really true.
At that time, Concubine Yang dared to slap someone in the face, not to mention being a Zhaoyi.
But there is no need to think about it in this dynasty.
"You are also impulsive. She is a concubine, and she shouldn't do things without knowing the importance of the matter. You have also gone too far. There is no private punishment in the palace. But considering that the emperor has also gone there, it is not considered private punishment. After all, you still lost your sense of proportion in this matter, and I have to punish you. Otherwise, if the upper and lower classes follow suit in the future, the rules of the palace will be broken."
Shen Chuliu hurriedly said, "I came here even though I haven't recovered from my illness yet. I just felt uneasy these past few days. Your Majesty, just punish me. Why shouldn't I do that?"
The queen nodded and said, "I know you have always behaved well. Then I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes for ten days."
Shen Chuliu hurriedly thanked him, saying that it was the same as not having been punished. Anyway, he had just recovered from his illness and still needed to recuperate.
"Come here, go to Concubine Xin and tell her what I have to say. Concubine Xin has lost her composure, so she should be punished to copy the palace rules three times. Now that she is pregnant, let's lighten the punishment."
Someone will pass on the message.
In fact, this is the Queen's decree.
But I didn't expect that something like this could go wrong.
Concubine Xin refused to be punished and went to Taiji Palace to beg the emperor.
This completely infuriated the queen. She changed her clothes and went to Taiji Palace.
In Taiji Palace, the emperor just came down from court and saw Concubine Xin crying. Because she was pregnant, the emperor couldn't just drive her away.
When the queen arrived, Qi Yixiu was also a little surprised.
"Your Majesty! It is because I have failed to manage the harem well that Your Majesty has to worry about trivial matters in addition to his daily workload. I am willing to be punished." The queen stiffened her neck and walked towards that station.
Qi Yixiu was naturally not stupid, so he looked at Chusi, who came over and told him what happened that morning.
Qi Yixiu understood instantly.
"The Queen did nothing wrong. How could I blame you?" Qi Yixiu said to the Queen: "Come, Queen, please sit down."
Concubine Xin was afraid just now, and her heartbeat was speeding up a lot now.
The queen sat down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure."
"The Queen has always been well-behaved, how could she lose her composure? Concubine Xin, do you know you are wrong?" Qi Yixiu looked at Concubine Xin with a cold face.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Xin said softly, "I... just had a few arguments with Concubine Jing. Why should I be punished? All the sisters in the harem are like this..."
"Queen, now that you have punished Concubine Jing, does she have anything to say?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't know her yet. Although she has a sharp tongue, she always abides by the rules. She never fails to respond to anything I say. Naturally, she has nothing to say, but only thanks and says that she deserves to be punished." The queen said indifferently.
It is true that there is no harm without comparison. Just talking about Jing Zhaoyi, there is really no way to say how good she is.
But in comparison...
That's a celestial being! At this moment, Qi Yixiu was also satisfied with Tianxian'er, after all, she made him proud.
Of course, the more proud Tianxian'er is, the more miserable Concubine Xin is.
Qi Yixiu certainly doted on Concubine Xin. In the past few years, she had served the emperor in many sleepovers. The emperor was not only interested in her because of her father, but he was also somewhat interested in her as a person.
But this woman has been like a demon for some time, which makes the emperor very uncomfortable.
"Xin Fei, I thought you were a reasonable person. Now it seems that I spoiled you." Qi Yixiu's face turned cold: "I will order that Xin Fei disobey the Queen's order, does not know the rules, and quarrels with concubines at will. You should be punished. Now I will not demote you because I am thinking of your pregnancy. You will be fined one year's salary, copy the palace rules thirty times, and be confined to your home for one month. Do you accept it?"
Concubine Xin shuddered: "Your Majesty...I dare not do it anymore."
"I ask you whether you accept the decision or not. If you do not, I will try another method." Qi Yixiu said coldly.
"Yes, I surrender. I really don't dare to do it again. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Concubine Xin was not that powerful. At least when facing Qi Yixiu, she was still timid.
"Go back. Although I'm punishing you, you still have to take good care of the baby. Queen, you should also assign a few nurses to take care of her." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The queen agreed and was not dissatisfied with the emperor's punishment.
After all, she is pregnant and there is no way she can be demoted just because of this.
But now it seems that if Concubine Xin continues to commit suicide, things will be difficult to say.
In the harem, everyone applauded when they heard that Concubine Xin was punished by the Emperor himself.
This woman has been taken advantage of by many people in the past two years, so naturally, many people hate her.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu was playing chess with Concubine Rong who came to visit.
"Why bother? If you are still unconvinced, how can you replace the queen?" Concubine Rong snorted.
Yao Baolin was watching from the side, but now he said, "That's what happens when you are careless."
"That's really bold. In my opinion, let alone Xin Fei, who has no foundation, even Zhen Chongyi wouldn't dare to treat the queen like this in recent years. But speaking of Zhen Chongyi...Now the Ninth Prince is often at Empress Dowager Li's place. It is said that he has become very sensible?"
Rong Jieyu whispered: "Could it be that...Empress Dowager Li has some ideas?"
"Empress Dowager Li is the Emperor's biological mother, so it's not surprising that she has some thoughts. Nowadays, the Fifth Prince is often taken to Empress Dowager Feng. As for the Second Prince, he is getting worse every year..." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
The second prince has grown up this year, but he is still not as good as when he was a child.
I have a vague feeling of being abandoned by the Feng family.
The more this happened, the more Concubine Feng dared not lose her temper in front of the Queen, so this just showed that Concubine Xin was a hero.
"What do you think of Concubine Xin's baby?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Rong Jieyu paused for a moment and said softly, "I'm not a vicious person, but Concubine Xin's pregnancy..."
It’s hard to say whether it can be kept.
That was all thanks to the emperor's favor. Now that he has offended the emperor, the queen is also unhappy. Can the person who wants to do it still not seize the opportunity?
Meow. The walker has a scarf, you can take a look. If it doesn't fall over...
