The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 26 Second Elder Brother (2)

Hearing this, Jiaorong looked up at the emperor speechlessly, the whites of her eyes rolled slightly, and she curled her lips to express her displeasure.He was obviously speaking for her, but why did it sound so harsh.

The emperor's words were obviously very ambiguous to others, and the act of personally guaranteeing made everyone's jaws drop.He stared at the emperor in disbelief, he had long forgotten the etiquette on his body, and raised his voice a little: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The emperor lowered his head and fiddled with the jade pendant around his waist, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Just now the other court ladies said that they saw her embroidery with their own eyes, but you denied it in every possible way, then if I tell you now, I have also seen her real embroidery with my own eyes. Xiu Gong, how do you want to argue?"

After the words were finished, the emperor raised his eyes slightly, those eyes were like wolf eyes, staring closely at Ling's eyes, almost staring right through her.

Although it's not your turn to speak about this matter, her expression has become unnatural at the moment.As the lord of the first palace, she didn't even know when the maids in the palace had hooked up with the emperor, and now she was directly pointed out by the emperor in public. Naturally, she herself was very shameless.

"Your Majesty, how could you..." The hand holding the phoenix embroidery hoop trembled, and he couldn't help but took two steps back, his face full of disbelief.

"It's a serious crime to bully your majesty, do you still want to question my integrity?" The emperor's voice was very low, his eyes were like a bottomless lake, with no end in sight.

"I don't have any maidservant!" Poor didn't know how to defend herself anymore, she never thought that Jiaorong could be saved by the emperor himself, and she was panicked at this moment.

"Okay, you also know the punishment for the crime of deceiving the emperor. To punish the three clans is against my benevolent government, so I will give you a glass of poisoned wine to kill yourself." Talking about potluck is generally casual.

"Your Majesty! Your servant knows it's wrong! Your servant shouldn't slander your colleagues just because of a moment of jealousy! Your Majesty! Please spare this servant!" Frightened, she couldn't stop crying, and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor.

Tonight's family banquet had already been ruined, and no one was in the mood to argue with a maid at the moment. The emperor casually gave Liang Jiugong a look, and Liang Jiugong shook his whisk, signaling the imperial guards to drag him down again. .

At this moment, everyone at the banquet was in mixed moods. No one would have thought that so many incidents would be provoked that night, and it would still happen to a court lady.What made people feel uneasy for a long time was that after such two major incidents, the court lady was unscathed in the end, but those who provoked the incident were all completely blown away.

Many people began to question who this court lady was, and looked at Mr. Yougui with a little more scrutiny.

This family banquet ended hastily in the end, and until the time of returning to the palace, Yougui couldn't even lift a smile, although the focus of these things today did not affect her, but this is her birthday banquet after all, time and time again His disappointment really made her very uncomfortable.

After returning to the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Jiaorong brought up a cup of tea to soothe the hangover. At this moment, Yougui was thinking about what happened today, rubbing his temples quietly, and frowned when he saw Jiaorong approaching.

"My lord, please drink this tea, or you will feel uncomfortable when the wine gets stronger later." Jiao Rong bowed and picked up the teacup and handed it to Yougui.

"I won't drink." Yougui closed his eyes, his voice was as light and indifferent as before, as if he was already very upset.

Seeing this, Jiao Rong sighed, her voice softened a little, as if coaxing a child, she said: "My lord, if you don't drink, you will feel uncomfortable, drink it."

But in the next second, Yougui opened his eyes directly, and shouted at Jiaorong: "I said I won't drink!"

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to condense.Jiaorong was in a daze for a moment, she had never seen Yougui so angry, and it was obvious that the anger was directed at her, but what was the reason?Jiaorong didn't understand.Those things today were not done by her, and Yougui has no reason to be angry with her.

Jiao Rong's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and after thinking for a moment, she lifted the hem of the cotton robe, knelt down respectfully, bowed her head and remained silent.

Looking at her like this, Yougui even had a headache, leaning on the tea table beside him, not knowing what to say.After a long time, Yougui calmed down and asked plainly: "When did you communicate with the emperor?"

Hearing this, Jiaorong looked at Yougui with a little doubt, and Yougui didn't even want to look at her directly at the moment.Jiao Rong crooked her brows lightly, her uprightness was written all over her pretty face: "My lord, this servant has never done this before, nor has I ever thought of doing so."

"You still don't want to admit it." Yougui glanced at her coldly, the words in his mouth were not questions at all, but the most plain statements.

Jiao Rong's expression was full of unyielding, obviously he didn't intend to admit it.Yougui turned his face away in disappointment, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he still said: "From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to serve me closely, you have taken care of Yinti's diet very well, and the diet list is still according to your usage." , let Yi Zhu take care of her."

Jiaorong looked at Yougui in surprise, and didn't want to leave Yougui just like that, her face became serious, and she called out in a cold voice: "My lord..."

At this moment, before Jiaorong could speak, a magnetic male voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "I thought that Yougui had already fallen asleep at this time, but I didn't expect Yanxi Palace to be so lively."

Immediately, the emperor stepped into the palace, wearing the same clothes from the banquet just now, embroidered by the nobleman himself, elegant and elegant.

Seeing the figure of the emperor, Yougui's pupils trembled slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiaorong who was still kneeling on the ground, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Yo, it's midnight, and the maid in the palace disturbed Yougui to rest again?" The emperor sat on the moiré wooden chair beside Yougui, opened the folding fan in his hand, and raised his eyebrows to look at Jiaorong.

The nobleman pursed his thin lips lightly, and he hadn't figured out how to explain it, so he could only reply: "Jiao Rong is here to bring sober tea to the concubine, and the concubine will go to bed after drinking this cup of tea."

The emperor nodded slightly, looking at Jiaorong kneeling on the ground, he didn't expose Yougui, but said unhurriedly: "When I came in just now, I heard you say that you are going to resign from the position of the maid. what's up?"

Yougui's fingers clenched the blue plum-patterned handkerchief, swallowed slightly, not knowing how to reply.But at this time, Jiao Rong suddenly raised her head, and explained for Yougui: "The servant has to serve the young master and elder brother personally every day, and is often distracted by heavy tasks, so I ask the young master to step down as a slave .”
