Chunman Palace

Chapter 35 Punishment
"Huh... finally finished copying. Just because of a little maid, the emperor punished me like this." In Li Jinxuan, Chang Xiuru complained while turning her sore wrist.

"Actually, the emperor has already given the empress a lighter punishment, but noble lady Ling who went with her has been degraded and has to contemplate behind closed doors." Shuang'er persuaded her, and stretched out her hand: "Maidservant, will you hold it for you?"

Chang Xiuru pulled her face and stretched out her right hand, muttering: "I really don't know what's so good about that maid!" Shuang'er happened to press on the sore tendons, Chang Xiuru frowned and took a breath, "Take it easy! "

Just at this moment, a sound came from outside.

"The Emperor is here."

Chang Xiuru was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly got up to greet her: "My concubine sees the emperor! I didn't know that the emperor was coming, but I couldn't meet him far away. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Xuan Yin stretched out a hand towards her, "Get up."

Chang Xiuru looked up in disbelief, then put her hand on Xuan Yin's palm, and slowly got up.

"I don't know why the emperor came here?" She said plainly, but the joy, excitement, and anxiety in her heart were superimposed on each other, and her heart was beating wildly like a bunny stuffed.

"I came to see you. If you haven't finished copying the palace rules, you don't have to copy them." Although there was distress in Xuan Yin's words, he only smiled inaudibly, and then led the people to sit together.

"The courtiers and concubines have finished copying, not a single word." Chang Xiuru hurriedly pointed out the palace rules that had been copied on the table, "No, the emperor wants to see if the hundred palace rules are complete."

Xuan Yin glanced lightly, feeling a little headache.

She received the fine quickly, but news came this morning that her father, Yizhou Xieling, and the local civil servants allocated money to set up a porridge shed to rescue foreign victims, and gained a high prestige.

And the queen mother also advised him, just click as far as it goes, and don't treat Chang Xiuru lightly.

Chang Xiuru's eyes were affectionate, and she said tenderly: "Your Majesty, would you like to stay for lunch today? This concubine recently learned a new dance, and I want to present it to the Emperor."

"it is good."

Chang Xiuru wears a dancing shirt and sings a fan, and the falling red Hanyu skirt spins and dances with her waist, and the sleeves in her hand throw flying flowers with her arms.

As soon as the dance was over, Xuan Yin was still unsatisfied, with a slight smile on his lips.

"What does your majesty think of this dance?" Chang Xiuru looked at him expectantly, her eyes full of admiration.

Xuan Yin looked at the woman in front of him, and the scene of meeting Lin Qingyu for the first time that night emerged in his mind.

She was wearing a plain dress, and the waterfall blue silk illuminated by the moonlight seemed to be covered with silver frost. She had a light body, as nimble and moving as a firefly dancing at night.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Chang Xiuru's voice brought him back to reality.

Xuan Yin prevaricated and said, "The dancing skills are getting better and better, that's great."

Did not get the expected response, Chang Xiuru was a little disappointed and said: "Does the emperor think that concubines are not as good as sister Lin? But now she is grounded and cannot serve the emperor."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

In fact, Xuan Yin didn't understand why the Queen Mother banned Lin Qingyu, but as his own mother, he always had to bear some face, so he didn't go to Yaohua Pavilion these days, Chang Xiuru said so, he felt that it was time to relieve Lin Qingyu was grounded.

Xuan Yin's heart moved slightly, and he said with a light smile: "You sisters are both good at dancing, and you can learn from each other at ordinary times, which is beneficial to both of you."

Chang Xiuru said sullenly: "Your Majesty, when sister Lin was not grounded, she would either go to the Music Workshop to practice dancing or study in the room every day. How can the concubine bother her?"

Xuan Yin was aroused some interest: "Reading? Is Lin Changzai still studying medical books?"

"It doesn't seem to be a medical book anymore. I don't know what poems or words to read instead." Realizing that people are always interested in Lin Qingyu's affairs, she called Shuang'er to bring the pastries from the small kitchen.

She changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, please try this wishful cake. The concubine specially made it with a new and ingenious method. It is sweet but not greasy, and has a long aftertaste."

Xuan Yin tasted a piece, his brows relaxed: "It tastes really good, what time is it?"

Shuang'er replied: "Go back to the emperor, it's just noon."

As soon as Shuang'er finished speaking, Chang Xiuru immediately said, "Chuan Shan, remember to stew that acacia soup."

Weiji, Xuan Yin finished his meal, left a promise to come back later in the evening, and went back to Huachen Palace for an afternoon nap.

Chang Xiuru was also a little tired, went to rest in the back room, and just fell asleep when she heard a loud noise, the noise became more and more clear, almost touching her ears.

She sat up in surprise, and found that the palace maid from Yeting was standing beside her bed arguing with Shuang'er, she said angrily: "Mu promised? What are you doing here!"

Mu promised to look at her angrily, and said word by word: "It's you! You seduced the emperor!"

"What nonsense are you bastard talking about?" Chang Xiuru raised her hand, and slapped Mu Ying firmly on the face.

Mu promised to tremble, and his face became hot.

Chang Xiuru raised her head triumphantly, and said with a sneer, "Seduce, Mu promised that you seduced the emperor by taking off your clothes in Shanglin Garden that day? Thanks to your courtesy, righteousness and shame, you know that you came here for training."

Mu promised to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and asked unconvinced: "The emperor was going to have lunch with me, why did he come to you!"

Chang Xiuru felt baffled, whose palace the emperor wanted to come to was beyond her control, and if she couldn't keep the emperor, she would come to ask her for a teacher?
She was just wanting to see how bad this wood can lose its temper, so she deliberately sneered and said: "The emperor decides whose palace the emperor will come to. How can you and I control it? By the way, the emperor also said that he will come to the palace again tonight." Here~ you can take back your favor if you have the ability?"

Mu Ying's eyes widened, and there seemed to be flames in his pupils, and he said angrily: "Sure enough! You seduced the emperor and snatched him away from me!"

Chang Xiuru immediately slapped her, and a bang sounded from Mu Ying's ear.

Mu promised that the fishy sweetness in his mouth was stronger.

This is not over yet, Chang Xiuru immediately grabbed Mu Ying's neck, pressed her directly to the ground, and said coldly with frost in her eyes: "You cheap bastard, keep your mouth clean for me. It's just a promise. How dare you treat me like this?" The palace is so clamorous, I really don't know how to live or die!"

Mu promised but didn't speak, just stared back at Chang Xiuru, his eyes were full of hatred, and he didn't hide it.

Shuang'er added fuel to the fire: "Mother, Mu promised to speak so rudely, you should teach her a lesson."

Chang Xiuru sternly said: "Come here! Mu promises to insult me ​​by insulting me. She will slap her mouth twenty times and kneel for two hours."

Mu promised that the maid next to her knelt down and begged for mercy for her master: "No, Mrs. Chang, our young master doesn't understand the rules, so please let her go this time! Otherwise, if the emperor asks, our young master will not be easy to answer." .”

Chang Xiuru glared at her eyebrows, and her lips were as bright as blood: "Forgive me? I agree, but the palace rules don't agree! Pull me down! I will persuade you to commit crimes and punish me."

With an order, two eunuchs came in, escorted Mu and agreed to go out.

And Mu promised not to say a word all the time, just staring at Chang Xiuru, those eyes that were originally like black jade, were shining with viciousness and hatred at this moment.
