Chapter 32 The Queen Steps Up, the Emperor Rewards
The Queen disliked Concubine Yu the most, but now she has turned her attention to her: "Lady Qiao, you don't know the rules. It seems that you have to learn the rules of this palace well. Otherwise, if you offend the Emperor in the future, even I can't save you. Take down your green card today and reflect on yourself in the palace. When you have learned the rules well, you can put your green card back."
This means that she is not allowed to serve the emperor.
"My Queen, I know I was wrong." Lady Qiao's eyes widened. "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please forgive me, Queen."
The queen didn't want to listen and ordered someone to drag Concubine Qiao away.
Shen Qing saluted to the queen: "Thank you, Queen."
The Queen did not blame Shen Qing for not living up to her expectations and letting others bully her at will. She smiled and said to Shen Qing, "She is ignorant in this matter. I have punished her. With her there, no one will dare to look for trouble with you at will."
Shen Qing looked extremely moved: "Since I entered the palace, Your Majesty has taken care of me. I have no way to repay Your Majesty's great kindness."
The queen sent Shen Qing away with a smile in the end.
After leaving Fengyi Palace, Chen Qing looked back at Chunhua and smiled: "Let's go back to the palace."
Chunhua followed the umbrella and looked a little sneaky, but her eyes were full of joy: "My dear, be careful where you step."
The removal of the green card was not a big deal, but the Jingshifang must know about it. Xuanyuan Ling had always had a good memory, so he naturally noticed that a green card was suddenly missing: "Whose green card was removed?"
Wang De said, "Your Majesty, it was Lady Qiao. Today, the Empress personally ordered the removal of the sign, saying that Lady Qiao beat up Mr. Shen at the gate of Fengyi Palace."
Zhao Hai raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Wow, so domineering. Doesn't this remind me of Concubine Yu.
In fact, the emperor was not against domineering people before. Concubine Yu was much more domineering than Lady Qiao, and she was favored for many years. But Zhao Hai could see that the emperor changed his attitude since Concubine Yu fell out of favor.
Men are so ruthless. When they like you, all your shortcomings are good. When they don’t like you anymore, they feel disgusted just looking at you.
Of course, the emperor disliked Concubine Yu, but he was not disgusted with her to the point of being disgusted with her. After all, Concubine Yu had a child and was pregnant. But what about Concubine Qiao?
Xuanyuan Ling sneered after hearing this: "The Queen handled it very well. People with such a temper should really learn some rules and let the people below watch over them. If they don't learn, there's no need to send them to me."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he was like, wow, this is quite different.
Originally, the Queen had ordered people to remove the green card, and it would not have been left hanging forever. But the Emperor refused to learn his lesson and there was no need to send it over. That was a completely different story.
What does it mean to be bad at learning? What is good? If this subordinate is sent up, and Lady Qiao offends the emperor, won’t the subordinate also be implicated?
In this case, who can guarantee that Miss Qiao has learned all the rules properly?
Sure enough, after giving the order, Xuanyuan Ling said, "Go check on her." He paused and said, "Give her something to comfort her."
He didn't directly say what the reward was.
But Zhao Hai did not delay and immediately asked people to get ready.
When they arrived at Zhaohua Palace, they saw that the candlelight was still on. When Zhao Hai entered, he met Fang Yun and asked her, "How is your husband now?"
Fang Yun already knew about Lady Qiao's incident and said, "Thanks to the Queen for her justice, but my dear fell to the ground and has some bruises on his body."
Oh, that really hurts.
Zhao Hai hurriedly said: "The Emperor asked me to take a look, come in quickly."
Shen Qing was originally leaning on the couch, but when Zhao Hai arrived, given Zhao Hai's status, there was no reason for Shen Qing not to get up.
But Zhao Hai said first: "My dear, take a rest, don't get up, and take care of yourself."
If this had been in the past, even Concubine Yu would not have been able to be disrespectful in front of Zhao Hai. Someone like Chen Qing would have to pay her respects to Zhao Hai. How could he be so respectful?
After all, things are quite different now than they were back then.
Shen Qing said, "Serve tea to Manager Zhao."
Fangyun went there earlier and the food has been served now.
There is something to be said about this tea. Whether to accept it or not, whether to drink it or not, all these are matters of etiquette. Who is Zhao Hai? He is someone close to the emperor. Even if you want to curry favor with him, he may not allow you to do so. But it is interesting that Zhao Hai accepted the tea.
Shen Qing saw it all, she said: "The butler came so late..."
"The Emperor heard about Lady Qiao's incident, and heard that I was injured, so he asked me to come and see you." Zhao Hai said as the eunuch behind him brought up the things: "The Emperor also thought that I was wronged this time, so he asked for a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Qing said without forgetting Zhao Hai: "Please trouble the steward to go there."
Chunhua over there immediately sent another big purse.
Zhao Hai also accepted it and said, "My dear, if you feel unwell, please call the imperial physician."
Shen Qing said: "Some external injuries have been smeared with medicine."
Zhao Hai knew that her condition was not serious, so he smiled and said, "I will report this to you, my dear, take a good rest."
Since Chen Qing was injured, he couldn't go and send her off, so he asked Chunhua to send her off.
This person was also punished. Zhao Hai went to Zhaohua Palace. The Queen naturally heard about it. She curled her lips and said, "The Emperor values rules. There are always some people in the harem who don't have eyes. Now that Concubine Qiao has been punished so severely, she can behave herself for a while."
In the harem, the secrets that are revealed in public are no longer secrets, as they have already been spread around in private.
It is said that this palace is a cannibalistic place. In the few months since entering the palace, Concubine Wang has been deposed, and now Concubine Qiao is also deposed.
There were a total of eight new people entering the palace, but two of them left in just a few months, leaving only six. Among the six, Concubine Fang was pregnant, so now there are only five left who can continue to enjoy the emperor's favor.
Even if most people did not gloat over the misfortune at this moment, they would at least feel fortunate that there was one less competitor entering the palace.
But there are also those who are more thoughtful and can think of other things based on the current situation in the harem.
For example, Noble Lady Shen felt that something was not right. Even though Concubine Qiao had behaved unbelievably, this was a small matter and it would have been fine if she had let the servants handle it. But the Empress not only handled it herself, but also imposed a heavy punishment.
Although Chen Qing has a low position and good looks, the Empress is still so protective of him.
I'm afraid there is a deeper meaning behind this?
