Chapter 654: Time is not forgiving
Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Just keep an eye on it."
Nowadays, there are few people in the palace who take Mei Xiuyi seriously.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Mei Xiuyi was slapped by Concubine Ning outside Fengzao Palace a few days later.
When Concubine Yan and Concubine Mei Xiuyi entered the palace, they joined forces and forced Concubine Ning to lose her favor.
Now, Concubine Yan cannot be touched. Isn't it a good excuse for Mei Xiuyi to be in this situation? How can Concubine Ning let her go?
Besides, Concubine Ning is no longer the flower of high mountain that she pretended to be when she was young, so why should she endure it?
It's so easy to find a reason to slap Mei Xiuyi twice.
She was also bad. She deliberately fanned the side of Mei Xiuyi where the scar was left, and slapped her so hard that her hair was messed up, revealing the ugly scar.
Concubine Ning exclaimed: "Oh my god, why is your face like this? Why don't you go to Cheng'an Temple? Are you waiting for the emperor's favor in the palace?"
The palace maids accompanying him all looked as if they were about to laugh but not to.
Mei Xiuyi is proud by nature, but she has suffered too much humiliation in the past year.
Even so, she was suddenly beaten, and her eyes were red as she looked over: "Concubine Ning is now successful! Isn't it time for you to cry? I have fallen out of favor, but I also gave birth to a son and a daughter! What about you? You are raising someone else's child, don't you know that the twelfth prince has grown up?"
"So what if you gave birth? Can you see it?" Concubine Ning sneered.
"Even if I can't see them, they are my children. At least my children will remember me. You are laughing at me for falling out of favor. How many years have you not slept with me? Have you slept with me since I entered the palace? Bah! Do you have any shame? Today you rely on your higher status to hit me. Aren't you a coward!"
Although Concubine Ning doesn't pretend to be a lady of high status, she is still a quiet person after all.
She didn't expect Mei Xiuyi to retort, and she was at a loss for words.
Qing Qian smiled and said, "Empress Mei Xiuyi, please calm down. It is against the palace rules to yell at the concubine like this."
She also reminded me that since you are in this state now, if you break the palace rules again, no one will stand by you.
She was so angry that she had to endure it.
After tidying up her hair, she entered Fengzao Palace in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Everyone arrived one after another, and they all started by looking at Yan Xiurong's joke.
Only when Concubine Qian Shu arrived did she ask, "Oh, the Imperial Concubine hasn't come yet?"
Now, it is she who says this.
Princess Reed doesn't want to talk about it anymore, it's boring.
No one else can tell.
Of course, Concubine Qian Shu didn't dare to say it to her face.
"It's different now. No one dares to respond to the Imperial Concubine's words." Seeing that no one spoke, Concubine Qian Shu said another sentence.
Concubine Li De was upset and said, "The Imperial Concubine didn't come, so why did Sister Qian Shufei go to invite her?"
"Oh, why does it sound like someone is missing me?" Shen Chuliu came in with a smile.
She was wearing a floor-length dress with broken branches, a plain white base, black branches, and light purple flowers.
It also means letting Shen Changjing wear plain clothes for a few months.
The jewelry on her head was made of white jade and pearls, and there was a small black dot under her eye.
The eyebrows and eyes are still drawn raised, majestic and charming.
"Sister Qian Shufei is missing you. She kept asking why you didn't come and even complained that we couldn't answer." As soon as Concubine Li De opened her mouth, she sold out Qian Shufei completely.
Concubine Qian Shu was embarrassed for a moment: "It's just asking, it's not that I can't ask."
"Why do you need to ask about my affairs? How come after so many years, you still want to be in charge of Fengzao Palace?" Shen Chuliu didn't give her any face at all.
Concubine Qian Shu's face flushed: "Yes, it's not my place to ask about the Imperial Concubine's affairs. I will naturally pay attention to it in the future."
After hearing this, Shen Chuliu sat down without any reaction.
Everyone hurried to greet him.
She also politely smiled and said no need to be so polite.
The queen came out and chatted for a while, then glanced at Mei Xiuyi.
Mei Xiuyi suddenly stood up and knelt there: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Concubine Ning's hands tightened.
"Speak." The queen naturally knew about the dispute outside.
"Although I am not as high-ranking as Concubine Ning, I am also one of the nine concubines. However, I accidentally walked in front and did not see Concubine Ning and her group. Because of this, Concubine Ning slapped me twice. I am a concubine, not a maid, and I do not accept this."
"So what do you want?" The Queen looked at her and said, "You told me the rules, but you actually broke the rules."
"Empress!" Mei Xiuyi looked at the Queen in disbelief.
"Concubine Ning." The Queen called.
Concubine Ning stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I was just excited at the time. I really shouldn't hit anyone."
"In this case, both of you are wrong, and I will punish you both. One month's allowance for each of you." The queen said indifferently.
Concubine Ning hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
Mei Xiuyi gritted her teeth, but could only thank him.
It's nothing for Concubine Ning to be short of a month's salary now, but she is different.
Once she fell out of favor, she could only rely on the monthly salary to make a living.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's the same with Concubine Ning. She's old and has a bad temper. Why is she here?"
Concubine Ning smiled awkwardly: "That's right, I will definitely pay attention to this in the future."
“Although Concubine Ning really doesn’t need to take action herself, it seems that Mei Xiuyi is becoming more and more aggressive.” Concubine Yi sneered.
Violent? This is not a good word to describe the women in the harem.
Everyone thought that Concubine Yi hated Mei Xiuyi to death and would say something about her whenever she got the chance.
Mei Xiuyi had just calmed down a little, but now she was furious again, but she didn't dare to act rashly in Fengzao Palace.
He fell silent.
The queen glanced at Concubine Yi, and she immediately shut up.
"Let's go if there's nothing else. The weather is hot, so everyone should take care of their health." The queen waved her hand.
Everyone stood up and left.
Anyway, this is how we greet each other in the morning, two hours of preparation and fifteen hours of nonsense.
Shen Chuliu walked with Yao Chongyuan, and Concubine Yang followed behind.
So they went to Yao Chongyuan's Cuiyunxuan together.
Shen Chuliu hadn't been here for several years, but everything looked familiar to him.
"You haven't changed this either?"
"I'm used to living here too. I've lived here three years longer than the Empress. Why should I change it?" Yao Chongyuan said with a smile.
"That's right." Shen Chuliu nodded.
After entering the main hall and sitting down, Concubine Yang looked around and turned her head back.
Shen Chuliu said, "Let's have lunch here at noon."
Xinlu and Suihong at the back were a little anxious. Is the master going to improve the food?
"Of course I welcome Your Majesty, but I have to ask these two girls about what you can eat and what you can't eat. I can't let Your Majesty just to satisfy her taste buds at the expense of her body." Yao Chongyuan said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu rolled his eyes and lost interest.
The whole room burst into laughter.
When Yao Chongyuan laughed, many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were very obvious.
Shen Chuliu couldn't help but sigh that time is unforgiving.
