When Empress Dowager Xue heard Aunt Xiufang say that Qiao Yu had summoned Hua Yunya to the palace, her expression remained unchanged as she continued to feed the fish:
"Sister Lan is still too young. After all, they are just two servants. We really need to teach this concubine a lesson. Her little punishment will only lead to the snake biting back."
Although the maidservant beside Lan Jie'er is loyal, she actually gossiped in front of her master. She deserves to die.
She asked her master to stand up for her just because she was injured. I don’t know if it’s because Sister Lan is kind or if this servant is scheming.
Xiufang had been with Empress Dowager Xue for many years, so she could see that Qiao Yu's behavior was inappropriate.
"In your opinion, Master, do you want to help Empress Hua?"
Queen Mother Xue poured all the fish feed in her hand into the pond, and the fish rushed to eat it.
Fish are stupid and will continue to fight for food even if they are full. If Queen Mother Xue feeds them like this, these top-quality koi will probably be lost.
"Help, I only have a little niece like that, how could I not help her?"
Then he said, "Tell my second sister Hua to copy the scriptures a hundred times in my Buddhist temple tomorrow, and bring them back to pay her respects to me."
Xiufang looked bitter. It was obvious that the Empress Dowager and her gang were just like Lan Jie'er, only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
It seems that the Queen Mother is going to let Qiao Yu do this little bit of fighting, and only when she gets hurt will she know how to fight back. If that doesn't work out, then she will lend a hand.
The next day, Hua Yunya was summoned by the Empress Dowager before she could see Qiao Yu. When she was a child, she shamelessly entered the palace with Hua Yunlan once.
She still knew clearly that Empress Dowager Xue looked down on her at that time. It was obvious that the Empress Dowager wanted to give Qiao Yu some face.
Xiufang: "Second Miss Hua, the Empress Dowager said that you can pay your respects to the Empress Dowager after you kneel down in the Buddhist temple and recite the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times."
Hua Yunya twisted the embroidered handkerchief in his hand into a rag, only then did he avoid losing his composure:
"I understand. It is my great blessing to be able to copy and deliver Buddhist scriptures to the Empress Dowager."
It was clearly a punishment, but she used her clever mouth to turn right into wrong and make it seem like a reward. No wonder the mother and daughter were able to seduce Duke Hua.
Xiufang: "Then please, Miss, please do not eat after you have copied the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist temple is a place for quiet meditation. Don't have any bad thoughts that will pollute the Buddha's eyes."
"I understand!"
Hua Yunya was already gritting her teeth. What a Hua Yunlan! She just punished her maid.
She had tortured herself like this. If she didn't avenge her vengeance today, Hua Yunya would definitely become a nun! !
For the next entire month, Hua Yunya spent almost every day in the Buddhist temple kneeling and copying scriptures.
After all, she had to copy it a hundred times in one day, so she had no time to pay her respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager had fallen asleep long ago, so she had to ask her to come again the next day.
This went on for a month, and Hua Yunya's legs were now lame when she walked. She no longer had the elegant posture and rosy smile that the second Miss Hua was famous for.
His face was thin and there were dark circles under his eyes.
"This humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Huapin."
It's no wonder that the woman in front of him can trip up the heroine without suffering any loss, and he can still endure it.
"Yun Ya, you've suffered these days. It's all my fault for not being able to persuade the Queen Mother. I've been punished for a month before summoning you to my side. I hope Yun Ya won't blame me."
The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. If it weren't for your instigation, would the Queen Mother torture herself like this?
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could the Queen Mother punish me? I must have done something wrong, and the Queen Mother, as an elder, is just giving me some advice."
Silver tongued.
Qiao Yu was not annoyed when she didn't let him go down the stairs. He walked up to her affectionately:
"When I was young and ignorant at home, I was furious that you punished Zhu'er too harshly, so I made you stand for two hours."
Qiao Yu's words made Hua Yunya suspicious and hesitant. She no longer stood straight as she had just now. After all, her knees were still hurting.
Sufang came over with a soft chair:
"Sit down, dear sister. Auntie is really standing up for me this time, so I can't say anything to her. The Emperor is about to hold a beauty pageant, and our Yunya has grown into a beautiful young lady."
When Hua Yunya heard about the beauty pageant, her eyes lit up immediately. She naturally hoped to enter the palace.
If Hua Yunlan really said that this was not her order, and I stay close to her in the future, will Hua Yunya's favor still be less?
Maybe she can surpass her one day??!
Hua Yunya's eyes rolled around:
"Will you speak well of Ya'er in front of the Emperor? Ya'er doesn't really want to enter the palace, but wants to be with you every day."
Qiao Yu smiled with extreme gentleness, her deep pupils shimmering faintly:
"Of course, dear sister."
Hua Yunya's pale face flushed with joy, and his eyes, which were a little sunken due to fatigue, emitted a strange light.
The palace maids beside her were frightened.
How come Miss Hua, who has the same father, looks so different from his mother? Not only is she not good-looking, but she's also a little scary?
Yan Fu, who was resting in the Golden Dragon Hall, smiled sarcastically after listening to the informant's report on Qiao Yu's every move today:
"This Huapin is truly my good concubine. She has forgiven all the past grudges. How could I be so petty as to embarrass Huapin's sister?"
According to the informant, the emperor said that it was a foregone conclusion that the second Miss Hua would be selected in the selection.
Yan Futong paid his respects to Empress Dowager Xue as usual, and Empress Dowager Xue also invited him to have breakfast.
"The selection will be held in a month. Your Majesty, you don't even have a leader in your harem. My health is not as good as before, and I don't have the energy to bother with all the complications of choosing new candidates."
Yan Fu listened to Empress Dowager Xue's words without changing his expression.
If your health is really that bad, you can just hand over the Phoenix Seal and there will be plenty of people rushing to take care of you.
