Chapter 344: Servant Bullying the Master 2
Everyone turned around in panic and saw that it was indeed Song Zhao who had stood behind them like a ghost.
They did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately knelt down and bowed, saying respectfully:
"I, your humble concubine, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Yi. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
Song Zhao walked forward slowly, without asking them to stand up.
He just looked at Concubine Yao coldly for a moment before saying:
"You just said that I am the daughter of a guilty minister and that I have been to the cold palace? What do you mean by that? Explain it clearly."
Concubine Yao was so frightened that she was sweating profusely and stammered, "Your Highness, you must have heard me wrong. I was not talking about you. I was... talking about someone else."
"Others?" Song Zhao said sternly, "Besides me, is there anyone else with the surname Song in this palace?"
"this......"
Concubine Yao was so frightened that she was speechless and confused for a moment.
Xiao Jingheng did not want Song Zhao to know about these things, and he also forbade anyone in the palace to mention them.
If Xiao Jingheng knew what happened today, everyone present would be in trouble.
Later, Li Changzai was smart and quickly calmed down. She followed Concubine Yao's words and tried to smooth things over.
"Your Highness, you are the only one with the surname Song in the palace now, but there was indeed a Concubine Song in the past."
Kang agreed, "That's true."
Song Zhao glanced at Yunshan, who also said:
"Your Highness, Concubine Yao has always been close to you, she's not talking about you."
Only then did Song Zhao finally believe what everyone said.
She looked at Concubine Yao and asked Yunshan in a low voice,
"Did I have a good relationship with her in the past?"
Yunshan nodded in agreement, and Xiao Fuzi also said, "Your Highness has lived in the same palace with Concubine Yao since you entered the palace, and their friendship is very deep."
Song Zhao then smiled embarrassedly, "I was standing far away, and I didn't hear clearly what the sisters were talking about, so there was a misunderstanding. Sisters, please get up quickly."
She stepped forward to help Concubine Yao and said sadly:
"Sister, please don't blame me. I don't remember anything since I woke up. Please don't tell the emperor about what happened today, otherwise the emperor will think that I had a quarrel with everyone on the first day I met the concubines..."
"No, no." Concubine Yao saw that she had been fooled, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that my sister has woken up now. We have a deep sisterly relationship. Even if my sister doesn't remember the past, I will still treat you with my heart."
Song Zhao was easy to fool. He was so moved by Concubine Yao's words that he kept saying:
"I will treat you sincerely, and you can tell me more about the past when you are free."
As he spoke, Song Zhao's eyes were fixed on Concubine Yao's face.
Princess Yao's acne could not be cured for a long time and it became more serious every summer.
Especially on the forehead and between the eyebrows, the acne is more obvious. Although it is carefully covered with gouache, when looking at it under the sun, you can still see a faint red under the gray gouache.
Song Zhao was very curious about this.
"Sister, what kind of makeup is this? Is there any yellow flowers?"
Concubine Yao was stunned. "Ah?"
"I'm talking about your sister's forehead." Song Zhao stretched out his hand to touch it, but Concubine Yao hurriedly dodged.
Song Zhao smiled: "I am sorry for being so rude. It would be bad if such a beautiful makeup was knocked off by you. But it is the first time for me to see the raised yellow flowers. They look very unique. Why don't you give me two so that I can try them on when I go back?"
She said this in a naive manner, and looked at Concubine Yao with serious anticipation, as if she was very longing for the "yellow color" on Concubine Yao's face.
This action made Li Changzai and Kang Da Ying beside them try their best to hold back their laughter, and Concubine Yao was even more embarrassed, her cheeks were burning, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't steal your favorite thing. I won't ask you for the yellow flower. I'll make two for myself tomorrow when I'm free."
Xiao Fuzi suppressed her laughter and said to Song Zhao, "Your Majesty, we still have to go to Yonghe Palace to meet the concubines."
Song Zhao said: "I was so busy talking to my sister that I forgot about it. Can you come with me, sister?"
Concubine Yao pursed her lips and nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yunshan say:
"Your Highness, please go ahead. Your Highness, Yao Fei, asked me to make some flower pendants for her. I still have some details to ask you."
Song Zhao nodded, "Okay, then you stay with your sister."
After saying this, he left with Li Changzai and Kang Yingda.
After watching the group walk a little further away, Concubine Yao whispered to Yunshan:
"Thank you for helping me out just now."
"Pah!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she never expected that Yunshan would slap her hard in the face with his backhand.
Fu'er, who was beside Concubine Yao, immediately came to her defense.
"Sister Yunshan! What are you doing?"
Concubine Yao was also annoyed. She covered her left face with one hand and pointed at Yunshan with the other hand, cursing:
"I am the emperor's favorite concubine! How dare you, a lowly servant, hit me?"
Yunshan was not afraid at all, and looked at Fuer indifferently, "Get out of the way."
Fu'er protected her and refused to give in. Yunshan didn't argue with her. She lifted her skirt and kicked Fu'er in the belly.
The kick was quite powerful, and Fu'er squatted on the ground, holding her stomach in pain.
But before Concubine Yao could be shocked,
Yunshan slapped her again, loudly on the right cheek.
Concubine Yao's lips and teeth trembled, and she was almost going crazy with anger.
"You! How can you do this! Someone, take this treacherous slave girl to the torture chamber!"
The remaining palace servants who were serving Concubine Yao immediately surrounded Yunshan.
But just as they were about to make a move, Yunshan shouted with great momentum.
“Who dares!”
This shout really frightened people.
The palace maids gathered around her and dared not come forward. Yunshan stared at Concubine Yao with cold eyes and said solemnly:
"Empress Yao, think twice. These two slaps are for you, first for mentioning the fact that Concubine Yi was sent to the cold palace that day, and second for mentioning the fact that Concubine Yi's mother's family was convicted."
As he spoke, he bowed to the sky, and his voice became louder and louder.
"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree that no one is allowed to mention any bad memories of Concubine Yi in the palace, so as to prevent Concubine Yi from worrying. So, do you accept my beating?"
Yunshan's words completely controlled Concubine Yao.
Being slapped twice in public by a servant, Concubine Yao was of course not convinced.
But if I take it to heart, I'm afraid Yunshan will tell Xiao Jingheng what happened today.
After weighing the pros and cons, Concubine Yao could only endure the humiliation, lowered her head and uttered in a mosquito-like voice,
"I won't do that again in the future."
Hearing her words, Yunshan's face remained solemn, as cold as a piece of ice.
"I hope that Concubine Yao will be careful with her words and actions in the future. Otherwise, if the emperor finds out, it won't be something that I can just slap you twice and get away with."
Then she bowed to Concubine Yao and said, "I still have to serve Concubine Yi. You should wipe the blood off the corner of your mouth and leave quickly. Otherwise, if you are late to pay your respects, you will be beaten by Concubine Chen again."
Having said that, he left without even looking back.
[I'm asking for leave. My disappointing younger brother did very well in the exam. I have to have dinner and drinks with a bunch of relatives today. I won't update at 4 a.m. on June 28th. I'll make up for it at 4 a.m. on June 29th. Pen refill]
