Chapter 257 The wicked complain first Emperor Xuanwu felt that
he had a bad start today. " Ooo
... Unfortunately, she herself has not realized it yet... "Last night, I was strolling in the garden with Concubine Cheng. I just asked if her zither was repaired, and she...she asked the maid to beat me like this. Your Majesty, although my position is lower than hers, she...she can't be so cruel!" She cried breathlessly: "She is just...just a concubine. If...if I have done something wrong, she should report it to the Royal Concubine, and let the Royal Concubine deal with me. What qualifications does she have to use private punishment?" It's so annoying! What does it have to do with him? As expected, the harem cannot do without the queen, and these trivial matters have to be reported to him. Emperor Xuanwu went out early at this time to prepare a surprise for Jiang Xinyue. He nodded perfunctorily: "Tang Shiliang, go to the Tuoyue Pavilion and reprimand Concubine Cheng. The concubines in the harem should take the Imperial Concubine as a role model, be gentle and demure, and be generous and tolerant. Don't hit people for no reason, which is a loss of women's virtues." Liu Guiren was delighted: "Thank you, Your Majesty..." Before she finished her words, Emperor Xuanwu had already slipped away. While she was kowtowed to express her gratitude, he disappeared in an instant. The palace maid Yan'er helped her master up and asked in confusion: "Why did the young lady say that it was Concubine Cheng who beat you?" It was obvious that the young lady was beaten because of her own words and offended the Imperial Concubine. "Idiot!" Noble Lady Liu stood up and touched her painful cheek: "If I said that it was the Imperial Concubine who beat me, wouldn't the Emperor beat me again to vent her anger? The Emperor made that person angry last night, and he must be in a bad mood today, and he has no intention of listening to what I say. Cheng Nianhe dared to plot against me and made me lose such a big person. If she doesn't let me have a good life, I won't let her live in peace either." Look , she only mentioned Concubine Cheng, and the Emperor was anxious to leave, so he didn't even investigate, and directly asked his trusted eunuch to reprimand Concubine Cheng. Ha! Isn't she arrogant and hides her ambitions under that gentle and kind skin? She just wants to expose her fake mask. "Then, young lady, you mentioned Concubine Cheng's zither again..." Wasn't that zither broken by her own master? When Concubine Cheng returned to Chuxiu Palace, she burst into tears. Everyone in Chuxiu Palace knew that her master was rude and unreasonable. She didn't even feel sorry for breaking someone's zither. Even the best zither repairer in the palace said that Concubine Cheng's zither could not be repaired. "Weren't you there that day?" Lady Liu was a little angry at her question: "My young lady just smashed it. The pile of wood she brought back was clearly broken by herself, and she blamed it on me. She was so anxious to destroy the zither, it must be because of cat peeping." The maid did n't dare to ask any more questions and helped her walk towards the Juyue Pavilion. She thought her master was always gossiping and was stupid, but she could calculate the emperor's mind, so that Cheng Jieyu was reprimanded by the emperor. Do people have two sides? Those who can enter the palace are not really fools. Maybe stupidity is just their protective color. After Tang Shiliang was ordered to reprimand Cheng Jieyu in the Yueyue Pavilion, he saw that she also had injuries on her face. This noble Liu is so bold, he is not telling the truth! How could Cheng Jieyu use private punishment to beat her in the palace? It's just the two of them beating each other, okay? Cheng Jieyu had tears in her eyes, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice, and her voice was filled with tears: "Your Majesty has taught me that I will follow the example of the Imperial Concubine in the future, be self-disciplined and prudent, and not conflict with anyone." If Tang Shiliang was a normal man, he might feel sorry for Cheng Jieyu and say a few "fair words" for her in front of the emperor. But unfortunately, he is not a man. So whether Cheng Jieyu was crying or enduring grievances, he didn't feel much. It was even more impossible for him to help her clarify in front of the emperor. The emperor himself didn't ask, why did he rush to offend Liu Guiren? My godfather said that they didn't need to always mention people that the emperor didn't care about in front of the emperor. "It's great that Concubine Cheng thinks so." Tang Shiliang said with a fake smile: "Then I'll take my leave now." "Bah!" She spat at Tang Shiliang's disappearing back and said bitterly: "They are all slaves who look down on others and lackeys of the imperial concubine." Concubine Cheng stood up from the ground, her knees aching slightly: "It was I who underestimated Concubine Liu. She is better at complaining than I am." She didn't go to complain in front of the emperor because she didn't want to involve Jiang Xinyue and affect her image as a weak little white rabbit in the emperor's heart. Concubine Liu directly skipped Jiang Xinyue and didn't mention this person at all, pointing the conflict directly to her, letting her take the blame for the beating. The anger in Cheng Jieyu's eyes spread wildly: "Wait and see, I will not let her go so easily." The rules in the temporary palace are not as strict as those in the imperial palace. Ruan brought Jiang Xinyan to Changchun Xianguan to ask for an audience, and was soon led in by Shuangjiang. Xi Que hit people and slammed the door yesterday. She used too much force and the wound on her leg bled again. After Doctor Yan bandaged it again, she had to stay in bed. But her will will last forever, and she is the idol of all the eunuchs in Hexi Palace. In the words of Xiao Xiangzi: a role model for our generation. For their queen, they put life and death aside, regard the queen's mood as more important than anything else, and for the queen, they can sacrifice their lives and blood.
Everyone should learn from her.
She went into battle last night despite being ill, but whether she was slapping Noble Lady Liu or slamming the emperor's door, her bravery was not affected by her injured leg.
After Jiang Xinyue finished her condolences to Xi Que, she came to the main hall. Ruan and Jiang Xinyan bowed together: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"Mother and sister, there's no need to be polite."
Jiang Xinyue personally supported Ruan and looked at Jiang Xinyan, who had grown a lot taller, with satisfaction: "Well, you've grown taller and become a big girl."
Jiang Xinyan also smiled shyly: "Sister has grown taller too, I still haven't caught up with you!"
Since entering the palace, Jiang Xinyue's height has indeed increased a lot. Her tall figure is well-proportioned. She has shed the youthfulness of a girl and has fully revealed the charming demeanor of a generation of pampered concubines.
