Chapter 409 Palace Rules

If the Tong family wants to harm her, let them suffer the consequences.

Because she knows what kind of person the emperor is, Jiang Xinyue has anticipated every step he takes.

As long as she deploys countermeasures in advance, a crisis can also become her opportunity. If she

can solve the problem of Lan Xiaolou, no one will bring it up again in the future and say that she had an affair with that person.

Jiang Xinyue looked depressed and still had a bad face: "Your Majesty, please go back to bed! Since Your Majesty is fine, I will take my leave."

Everyone is here, how could the emperor let her go easily?

He held Jiang Xinyue's hand tightly, grabbed her wrist forcefully, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss the chattering red lips.

Qingyang Palace——

"What's wrong with you? It's been a whole morning, and you haven't finished washing six pieces of clothes yet?"

"Mammy, can I... can I wash for my father-in-law... my queen?"

"How can I do that? The superiors have told us that the clothes washed by Jin Guipin are especially fragrant, and they must be washed by Jin Guipin herself, and no one else can do it for them."

It is very obvious who this "superior" is.

How did Jin Guipin get demoted, and how was she sent to such a remote palace as Qingyang Palace?

Because she instructed the maids of Concubine Liang to poison Concubine Liang, and also framed the Empress, trying to sow discord between Concubine Liang and the Empress.

So this "superior" must be the Empress, without a doubt.

Jin Guipin rubbed her fingers vigorously for a few times and felt pain in her fingers.

It was less than two months and her slender, white and long fingers had already grown lumps.

The most important thing was that even if she had grown thin lumps, she still couldn't get used to the life of serving others.

"Bang!"

"Blast!"

A large basin of cold water was splashed on the maid in charge. Jin Guipin sneered: "Jiang Xinyue bullied me, but she is the Empress, and I endured it. Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me? I won't wash today, do you dare to kill me?"

The maid was frightened by her scolding. After she reacted, she had become a chicken in the soup, with a red face: "Yes, Jin Guipin is aloof, calling me princess all day long. I wonder which daughter of our emperor you are?"

"You!"

Jin Guipin also stared, and the maid called out: "Someone come here, Jin Guipin is disrespectful to the Empress, slap her in the face."

"You dare?"

"Hit her!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah..."

Hui Yuan knelt on the ground, pulling the old maid's trousers: "Please, maid, have mercy on us, we will wash, please spare our queen, if you continue to beat her, our queen will be disfigured."

Without her beauty, she would have no chance.

Jin Guipin was beaten so hard that she saw stars and her cheeks were burning with pain. She stared at the maid with murderous eyes. When Hui Yuan begged for mercy, the old maid kicked her over: "Since Jin Guipin doesn't want to wash clothes, then go wash the toilet! You guys take Jin Guipin and Hui Yuan to the toilet. If you don't clean all the toilets, you won't have food to eat today."

Jin Guipin, who was beaten numbly, was pushed to the ground and hugged Hui Yuan. It was so pitiful.

The old nanny was cold-hearted: "I can't kill Concubine Jin, but I have plenty of ways to torture Concubine Jin. If you don't learn your lesson and recognize your mistakes, I will slowly teach you the rules of this palace."

"I have memorized the palace rules... I have memorized them by heart. What do I need you to teach me? If you want to torture me, just say it. Does Jiang Xinyue dare to do it but not take the responsibility?"

"Pa!"

The old nanny slapped her in the face again: "I will say it again. In the palace, except for the emperor, no one can call the queen by her name."

"The rules that this old servant has taught your Highness are only eight words. Please listen to them and remember them well."

Liang Fei was standing at the door: "Eight words? I remember there are three thousand palace rules!"

Shu Fei nodded: "To be precise, there are three thousand and eight. Sister Shi Fei, am I right?"

Shi Fei was forcibly dragged to the Yanxi Palace by them. She was already a little unhappy. She had to watch Jiang Xinyue's people show off their power. Those who didn't know would think that Liang Fei and Shu Fei were secretly warning her not to go against the Empress.

Otherwise, she would end up like Jin Guipin.

Hui Yuan shrank back: "Eight words?"

"The Empress, that's the rules."

Everything should be based on the Empress first. Respect her, believe in her, submit to her, and follow her orders. This is the rule in the palace, referred to as the palace rules.

Concubine Jin never thought that Jiang Xinyue had become so powerful.

In the past, she thought Jiang Xinyue looked harmless and was easy to bully, but she didn't expect that she would be trapped in the palace now, doing laundry, folding quilts, sweeping floors and wiping tables, and now even having to clean the toilet.

She was a dignified Goguryeo princess, a princess of the royal family, a rose in the royal court, and she had to wash the toilet...

"Serves you right!"

Concubine Liang laughed, and took Concubine Shi's hand and walked towards the Yanxi Palace: "This person! The most important thing is to have self-knowledge, sister Concubine Shi, what do you think?"

Concubine Shi took a deep breath and said with a fake smile: "Sister Liangfei is right."

It was not until Concubine Shi was sent back to the palace that Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu left hand in hand again.

Man'er stood behind Concubine Shi: "Your Majesty..."

Concubine Shi raised her hand, signaling her not to speak: "It's not us who did it, she can't trace it back to us."

Not long ago, a beam of a side hall of the Yanxi Palace suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, no one was inside at the time, and no casualties were caused.

But Concubine Shi invited several concubines to have a drink on her birthday that day, and there were also some people inside who had a good relationship with Concubine Tong.

She just got inspiration from the collapsed beam: "It turns out that this fine red wood and small-leaf red sandalwood will also collapse due to moisture and disrepair."

The Queen's sedan chair was made of small-leaf red sandalwood, golden nanmu and other precious woods.

No matter if the speaker has any intention or not, the listener is interested.

There are many people in the harem who are not used to Jiang Xinyue being favored alone, and they would want to kill her if they get the chance.

Who heard what she said and who used it, what does it have to do with her?

She just sighed.

Jiang Xinyue struggled for a few times after being kissed by force, but the emperor refused to let go.

He grabbed Jiang Xinyue's shoulders: "Can you calm down and listen to me now?"

"When did I stop the emperor from speaking?"

Then why did you run out with an "I don't want to listen" look just now?

The emperor complained in his heart, touched Jiang Xinyue's head, and smiled gently: "I have considered for a long time what Yue'er said that day, and I personally think that you have some truth. I always say that I want the world to be united, but I have not achieved equality between men and women. So I have been working day and night for the past half month, arguing with the ministers in the court, preparing to promulgate a new bill."

New bill?

Is that what she... thinks?
