Chunman Palace

Chapter 31
The cool breeze was blowing, and the black cat at the gate of Linxian Temple was meowing.

Mo'er casually picked up a stone and threw it over: "Smelly cat, you're still here to scare people."

Lin Qingyu turned back to her from a distance and said, "What are you fussing about with animals, go quickly."

Mo'er followed Lin Qingyu, and said angrily: "My lord, although this servant doesn't understand you very well, you are grounded like this... It must be someone with ulterior motives who wants you to lose your favor! You can't just let it go."

"Of course we can't just let this matter go, Mo'er, what's your idea?" Lin Qingyu turned her head to look at her.

Mo'er took it for granted and replied: "This servant thinks that an eye for an eye should be an eye for an eye."

"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye... Then tell me where to get 1000 taels of silver to let this priest do things for us, and we don't know that person is hiding in the dark now, even if he has the money, who will he take revenge on?" Lin Qingyu not only Lamented Mo'er's innocence.

"Then, what do you think, my lord? This servant will definitely do her best to help my lord through this difficult time."

"Go back to the palace, wait until the confinement is lifted."

"Ah?" Mo'er thought she had heard wrong.

After finally getting the favor of the emperor, my master really wants to sit and wait like this, wasting half a month for nothing... But now there is really no other good way.

But even if she went to accuse the priest of accepting bribes, it would not help, so she had to give up.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Concubine Min tasted the hawthorn cream and Liu'an tea with silver chopsticks, feeling very comfortable.

Lu'er raised his head and looked out the window, and reminded: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the Emperor invited you to listen to a play at Miaoyin Pavilion at noon today, and this servant will help you dress up now?"

Concubine Min yawned lazily, "If you don't tell me, I'd almost forget that there is no concubine Chang, and all the nobles like Lin Changzaijin have come out, and the newcomers this year are really not cheap. "

The more Concubine Min said, the more annoyed she became, her eyes gradually turned a little fierce.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the two of them deceived the king and invited favors, sooner or later they will get their retribution! By the way, the servant girl heard that Lin Chang was punished by the Queen Mother for half a month, and now her spirit is greatly weakened." Lu'er smiled gloatingly.

Concubine Min immediately turned her anger into a smile, and said happily, "Okay, finally there is something that can make me feel at ease, but do you know why the Empress Dowager punished her?"

"This servant doesn't know either, but I heard that Lin Chang accompanied the queen mother to Linxian Hall to pray for blessings in the morning, and when she came back, she was fined and grounded. It can be seen that she was disrespectful to the gods and made the queen mother angry."

"Not necessarily." Concubine Min put down her silver chopsticks thoughtfully, sipped her tea and said, "Isn't there such a magic stick in Linxian Temple that collects money and sends it away? Chang Zai sent the mold to taste."

Lu'er has also heard about the Linxian Temple, and many court ladies and eunuchs said that as long as the silver is enough, you can get what you ask for.

She half-believingly said: "There is such a possibility. If this matter is true, the empress might as well try to bribe that magic stick? See if you can pull Jingui down as well."

Concubine Min gave her a white look, and said with disdain, "Is it necessary for me to use fake hands to win? It's just those shady rats poking around in their genitals to engage in such shady tricks. It's not cheap for such a treacherous villain!"

Lu'er repeatedly said yes, and echoed: "The empress's money is used to help the world and save the people and relieve the sufferings of the people, but other people's money is used to frame others and do more evil things. How can the dirty things done by those things get into the empress's eyes?" Fayan."

Concubine Min was in a good mood after being praised, she raised her head slightly proudly, her white teeth were half exposed: "Okay, stop flattering here, go and get that hazy and beaded veil dress, the emperor likes it." Before Lu'er After walking away, he added another sentence: "Remember to prepare that honey flower crystal hairpin as well."

On Miaoyin Pavilion Road, Concubine Min frowned and stopped when she heard a loud noise.

"what sound."

"It seems that it came from Yeting. Maybe it's teaching the court ladies how to behave. Your empress doesn't need to worry about it."

The voice was mixed and chaotic, like many people admonishing at the same time, buzzing like flies and making her head hurt.

"Go, go in and have a look."

Just entering the Yeting Court, a stale smell came over, the laundry in the courtyard was scattered on the ground in a mess, as if someone had stepped on it a few times, and the three maids were punching and kicking at the corner, cursing The sound continued.

Concubine Min covered her nose and coughed.

Lu'er raised her voice and said: "Ms. Concubine Min is here, you guys disperse quickly!"

The group of maids stopped their movements and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects to Concubine Min.

Concubine Min ignored the few people, and walked slowly towards the corner, only to see a court lady in the dark corner protecting her head with her arms, her hair was disheveled, and a few purple and blue marks on her dark arms were very eye-catching.

She took out her embroidered handkerchief and slowly leaned over.

Seeing this, Lu'er hurriedly stood in front of Concubine Min and said: "Your Majesty, how can you do this with golden branches and jade leaves, let the slaves come."

She nodded, and handed the handkerchief to Lu'er, "Wipe her well."

The maid was also strange, she didn't resist at all from head to toe, and even when her arms were pressed down, she just stared blankly into the distance, looking very dull, no wonder, these maids bullied her blatantly, so she didn't have to worry about being sued.

At this time, Su Li, who was in charge of Ye Ting, came, and was a little surprised to see Concubine Min, thinking that she was blaming her for leaving her post without authorization, and saluted in a panic.

Concubine Min didn't get angry and prestige, she frowned and looked at humanity: "Eunuch Su, what's going on?"

Su Li looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, and asked scoldingly: "Miss Concubine Min is asking a question, she still hasn't answered!"

One of the maids said weakly: "This newcomer is disobedient and lazy... We just reprimanded her."

Seeing that the palace lady didn't dare to lift her head, she must have been ashamed and told a lie, this kind of trick can't be hidden from Concubine Min.

Concubine Min sneered and looked at the jade bracelet in her hand: "When will it be your servants' turn to decide the affairs of the palace? Is Eunuch Su dead? It's really daring for you to act like this."

"Eunuch Su."

These words made Su Li tremble, and his voice trembled: "Min, what orders does Concubine Min have?"

Concubine Min glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and said indifferently: "These palace maids gathered together to make trouble, violated the palace rules, each of them will be kicked out of the palace with fifty slaps."

Fifty boards down, I am afraid that they will be bruised, and they will be half-disabled if they don't die. The maids were frightened when they heard the words. I am wronged! Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Min waved her hand, and let the palace servants around her drag her down one by one.

Seeing that the maid who was beaten was still in a daze, Lu'er quickly reminded: "Miss Concubine Min has made decisions for you, why don't you hurry up and thank our lady?"

The maid who was beaten was stunned for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Concubine Min, and said incoherently, "Thank you...thank you..."

Concubine Min only thought that she was stunned by the beating, her mind was not clear enough, and she didn't pursue it, and asked: "Lu'er, do you still have gel on your body? Apply some medicine to her, and I will wait for you outside. "

Lu'er nodded, took out a blue porcelain box with an anemone lotus pattern from her bosom, dipped some creamy pink ointment in it and spread it on the affected area, then closed the lid and stuffed it into the palm of the person's hand.

"I haven't used this whole box much yet, so I'll give it to you. Remember to take it in the morning and evening, and the injury will heal soon." She stood up, walked halfway and then turned around and said, "Remember, it's Concubine Min I saved you."
