Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 56 Who Coerced You
On the fifth day when Xia Qiuling entered the palace, the concubines avoided talking about it.

It's not that there is no interest, it's that as soon as I talk about this dancer, I will inevitably insinuate that the emperor is absurd.

There is a limit to pampering a woman, but the emperor took Xia Qiuling with him almost all the time except when he was in court.

During the five days that Xia Qiuling entered the palace, she never saw the queen.Such unruly behavior is unprecedented.

The emperor can be absurd. As an empress, she does not pay attention to her, and she will also be judged as unworthy. It is the empress' duty to persuade the emperor and clean up the harem.

So Yu Chumeng went to Taiji Palace on the fifth day while Xuan Wei was going to court, and without a word, people held Xia Qiuling and took him back to Fengyi Palace.

Xia Qiuling was escorted to kneel on the bluestone floor, Dai Manzhucui raised her head, and said unwillingly, "Empress Empress, what did I do wrong?"

Yu Chumeng stretched out his hand and pulled out the twelve-tailed golden phoenix on Xia Qiuling's bun. This step can only be worn as an accessory by a concubine or above. This Xia Qiuling is just a nobleman, far from unqualified.

Xuan Wei is probably crazy. If he doesn't know this, there will always be someone around him who will remind him a few words.

Yu Chumeng ordered people to clean up this step, and his eyes froze on the luxurious gold-wielding dress on her body. The gold-embroidered peacock on the dress was scorching bright in the sun, so dazzling that one could not ignore it.

It is no exaggeration to say that people rely on clothes. Xia Qiuling is very coquettish in dancing clothes, and wearing this clothes, she can barely hold up a bit of precious appearance.

Just what is a peacock?The head of a hundred birds is rare in the world.

Taking off her clothes in broad daylight is not very elegant, Yu Chumeng instructed: "Drag in, change her clothes and come out."

The two maids immediately started, this Xia Qiuling was weak and had no ability to resist, so he could only be dragged into it by others.

"I'll go by myself! Don't delay! I'll go by myself!"

Xia Qiuling's words were not taken seriously by them. The two maids were like dragging lambs to be slaughtered. They were dragged in without pity, and they were quickly dragged into the cabinet. Xia Qiuling's screams came from inside. outgoing.

"You dare! Let me go! The emperor will not let you go if he knows!"

"Don't! Let me go!"

Mammy Li said anxiously beside the queen, "Well, why don't you show some sympathy, Xia Guiren is just petting, in case the emperor gets angry..."

In the first dream, he didn't think so.

"If she dares to wear this dress, I should take it off for her. This is my duty as a queen."

If Xuan Wei couldn't get along with her because of this matter, all officials and the world would say that he was faint and would complain for the queen.Besides, it's just a change of clothes.

The Empress was on the point of this matter, but Mammy Li couldn't say anything about the Empress, so she kept her mouth shut.

Soon, Xia Qiuling changed into a much simpler outfit and was brought out, probably because the process of changing clothes was a bit rough, her hair was messed up, and she was in a mess.

Xia Qiuling fell to her knees in front of the queen, and said aggrieved: "The step and clothes are all rewarded by the emperor. If the empress thinks it is inappropriate, she should tell the emperor. What's wrong with me?"

"In front of Ben Gong, you have to call yourself a concubine." Yu Chumeng said in a good voice: "Xiahou didn't teach you the rules, Ben Gong can teach you slowly."

She's not usually a person who cares about rules. There are a lot of people in the harem who call themselves "me" when they talk to her, which is not a problem.

The problem is that Xia Qiuling is too outrageous.Xuan Wei did not put her under house arrest in the Tai Chi Palace. If she had the slightest intention to respect the Queen, she should choose a day to come to Fengyi Palace to ask An for training.

But after five full days, Xia Qiuling was afraid that she could hide in the Taiji Palace for the rest of her life, and it was enough to have the emperor to protect her.

Yu Chumeng even suspected that Xiahou would not think that the essence of her was "not following the rules"?Therefore, Xia Qiuling was specially cultivated to look like a man who knows nothing but relies on men.

"Let's start teaching from the salute."

With the queen's order, Xia Qiuling knew it was useless to resist, and under the gaze of the palace people, she stood up abruptly and then knelt down, repeated dozens of times.

The palace servants brought in a large carved phoenix sandalwood chair, and Yu Chumeng sat down, sipping tea and admiring her posture.

Yu Chumeng's wink was slightly raised, and Mammy Teach Xi understood what she meant, and scolded Xia Guiren for coming back.

This kneeling ceremony is not difficult, but Xia Qiuling's expression is not respectful and pious, and there are too many flickering and perfunctory.She frequently glanced at the majestic Zhu doorway of Fengyi Palace, hoping that the emperor would come to rescue her, and she naturally couldn't concentrate.

Yu Chumeng said neither light nor heavy: "If you can't kneel again, then drag it down and stick to death."

It is not an exaggeration for the nobles in the district to lose their honor in front of the queen and to be killed.

Xia Qiuling shivered suddenly when she heard the words, her hair was sweating coldly, her face flushed with anxiety, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "You...Aren't you afraid of the emperor's accountability?!"

As soon as the words fell, the teaching nanny beside her slapped her.

"Bitch! How dare you disrespect the queen!"

Xia Qiuling covered her face, glared at Madam Xi, and threatened: "I am the person on the top of the emperor's heart! If you hurt my face, let's see if the emperor will let you go!"

The hand raised by the teaching mother, the second slap did not dare to fall again.

"Bengong was really frightened by you," Yu Chumeng put down the teacup and said to Madam Teacher Xi: "The left and right faces each have fifty palms and fifty mouths, so you don't have to be soft."

The queen did not dare to obey her life, so she taught her to execute it immediately, and slapped Xia Qiuling in the face again and again.

The crisp slap in the face and Xia Qiuling's muffled groan were particularly tragic and clear in the air of Fengyi Palace.

The palace people saw that Xia Guiren's face was swollen and swollen from the beating, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her beautiful face became a little embarrassing. If you are angry, you should stop."

"Stop." Yu Chumeng called off the punishment as she wished.

Xia Qiuling just took a breath, and Yu Chumeng said again: "Mammy's hands are tired, change someone else."

Xia Qiuling couldn't stand it any longer. She knew better than anyone how important her face was. If she lost her face, even if the emperor was angry with the queen for a while, her favor would be gone from now on.

Before the other mama made her move, Xia Qiuling hurriedly knelt down and climbed to the Queen's feet with a bruised nose and a swollen face, begging for mercy loudly.

"Niangniang, is Niangniang resentful of concubine for being in the limelight at your birthday banquet, concubine is forced, concubine is not voluntary! How dare concubine to live with you!"

The palace servants came forward to drag her away, and Yu Chumeng waved his hands, motioning them to step aside.

Yu Chumeng looked down at this tragic face and said, "Who is coercing you?"

Xia Qiuling met her smiling eyes, her bones seemed to be broken and she fell to the ground, her lips opened and opened, she hesitated to speak.

"Mute?" Yu Chumeng fiddled with his slender armor and said impatiently, "I gave you a chance, but it doesn't work. Mommy, keep fighting."
