Chapter 256: Not recognizing the facts

"I can't do this!"

Jiang Guipin put her hands on her hips and said, "Since the emperor has promoted me, I have to help them."

If Jiang Guipin was born in the future, she would definitely know that people like her are called CP fans.

In the brightly lit palace, there were empty gardens everywhere, but Yupin had nowhere to go, so she was taken by the eldest princess to Changyin Pavilion where she lived.

"Mingyu, you are the eldest princess of the royal family. How can you kneel to that bitch Jiang Xinyue? She is the daughter of a dancer. If she hadn't been favored by your father, she would still be a concubine who cannot be on the stage. Even if her dancer mother has been promoted to a co-wife, it cannot change the fact that she is of humble origin. It is too beneath your status for you to kneel to her."

The eldest princess looked at her disappointedly. Before she could say anything, she was The remaining concubine was shocked: "You should kneel down and beg your father to deal with Jiang Xinyue. With her around, not only me, but all the concubines in the harem will have no chance to make a breakthrough. If she is allowed to ascend to the throne in the future, there will be no way for us mothers to survive. I say, is your brain squeezed by the door? You don't help me deal with Jiang Xinyue, and you let your father punish me severely. I will be beaten with a stick later. You will be very proud, right?"

"Mother, have you still not recognized the truth?"

The eldest princess said angrily, "Empress Zhen is the apple of father's eye. You and I combined are not worthy of her position in father's mind. It's... Empress Zhen's family background is not good. But mother, have you heard that it's not about where a hero comes from? How many emperors who have successfully revolted from generation to generation were born as poor farmers? How many empresses dowager in the harem only had a small promise when they first entered the palace? You always look down on Empress Zhen, but you are blinded by jealousy. Haven't you experienced her scheming and methods enough? Look at you, from being one of the four concubines, Concubine Liang, to now being relegated to a concubine, you still think you are her opponent?"

"I... I was..."

"Mother, are you still trying to be stubborn?"

The eldest princess glared at her: "You said I shouldn't kneel to her, then who did I kneel to her for? I beg you to stop humiliating yourself and give me a little dignity, okay? If you keep lowering yourself like this, how can I still marry a good family without being looked down upon? You schemed against her, and you feel good about it, but my marriage is still in her hands. Can you consider my situation before you do anything?"

Although the eldest princess did not think that Empress Zhen was the kind of bad person who would control her marriage, she, her mother, could not figure it out, so she could only speak more seriously so that she would be more careful the next time she did something stupid.

Concubine Yu curled her lips, somewhat unconvinced and a little bit unbelieving, and said weakly in a low voice: "Don't scare me, your marriage is naturally decided by your father, why should she interfere?"

"Are you so sure that Empress Zhen will not be able to ascend to the throne in the next three years?"

She is twelve years old this year, and will be married in three years. Whether she will marry into a foreign marriage or marry in the capital and enjoy eternal glory, all depends on these few years.

Only then did Concubine Yu become silent: "Don't be angry, mother will not act rashly next time and listen to other people's instigation."

"Do you want there to be a next time?"

"No..."

"Concubine Yu, the eldest princess, we are here by order, please accept the caning of Concubine Yu."

Concubine Yu lowered her face and stood up with her skirt lifted unhappily. She didn't want to be beaten, but she had no choice. The emperor had given the order himself, and if she continued to make trouble, she would lose face. The

eldest princess sighed and asked her personal maid to take out a few gold ingots: "Father just wants to teach mother a lesson, not to take her life. I hope the eunuchs will show mercy. This is a little gift from this princess."

In the palace, gold, silver and jewelry are also hard currency.

The leading eunuch bent down, took the gift from the eldest princess with both hands, and smiled flatteringly: "Don't worry, eldest princess, we know what's going on."

The money was accepted, but Yupin always felt that those dog servants were beaten hard. Every time the board fell, she felt that her bottom was going to break.

The eunuchs in the palace who were in charge of punishment had a certain degree of severity. Although they accepted the benefits of the eldest princess, they could not offend the Royal Concubine, otherwise it would be difficult to report back.

Forty boards can actually kill a person.

But the eldest princess pleaded for Yupin, so the Royal Concubine didn't rush to kill her. Otherwise, she said that even if the eldest princess gave them a lot of gold and silver, they would not have the courage to accept it. Yupin was definitely going to see Prince Yan .

But the Royal Concubine didn't hint that they should kill Yupin, so that they could accept the eldest princess's "bribe".

But how to beat her? How hard to beat?

The eldest princess has no say, it's all up to them.

There must be some blood, so that they can explain to Changchun Xianguan.

After the forty strokes, Yupin's back was soaked with cold sweat, and her white underwear was stained with blood.

His pale face was covered in sweat. He wanted to curse a few words, but when he saw the warning look of the eldest princess, he fainted.

After washing up, Jiang Xinyue fell asleep without any psychological burden.

Who cares!

Anyway, she is the biggest victim now. She can vent her dissatisfaction with the emperor as much as she wants. As long as the way of venting is within the emperor's tolerance, she can do whatever she wants.

The next day, at dawn, Jiang Xinyue was still lying in bed, and the stream of gifts came into Changchun Xian Pavilion.

How many people in the Suyue Pavilion were jealous and their eyes were red.

The maid took an ice cube wrapped in a wet face towel and gently applied it to Concubine Cheng's red and swollen face: "Master, why didn't you tell the emperor? Now that your father has made a contribution, he will soon be transferred from Guangdong and Guangxi to the capital to serve as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. He is still a Beijing official. The emperor will not allow Mr. Ye to bully you like this."

Concubine Cheng didn't know what contributions her father had made. After all, her father was still in Guangdong, and only vague letters came to her.

"You are too naive."

Cheng Jieyu took the cold towel, rubbed her cheeks, and said in pain: "If I go to complain, I will definitely bring up the matter of Liu Guiren insulting the Imperial Concubine. Liu Xiaoxiao, this idiot, never knows who is her real enemy. She will definitely bite me out. If the emperor knows that I deliberately made trouble, I will die very ugly."

Everyone has heard about what happened in the bamboo forest yesterday. She is also very glad that she did not participate in it, otherwise the emperor will definitely be angry with them, the newly promoted concubines.

The emperor is feeling guilty and wants to compensate the Imperial Concubine. If I go to complain now, wouldn't it be like rushing to Jiang Xinyue's door to cook for her?

She thought so because she still had some self-awareness.

But for some people, she always felt that she was an exception, and that as long as she cried and pretended to be weak, she could win the pity and sympathy of men.
