Tease the medical concubine, the prince has been chasing

Chapter 14 Slap in the face on the spot
"Are you finished?!" Mei Lan Zhuju looked at Tang Xueyao and said.

"En." Tang Xueyao nodded.

"Concubine Shu is here, and Chunlan said she is King Ning's biological mother..." Amei immediately reported the situation.

"I heard it just now." Tang Xueyao nodded, seeing Concubine Shu getting closer, she said to Mei Lan Zhu Ju, "Go in and guard the prince, leave this place to me."

"Yes." Plum Orchid Bamboo Ju replied respectfully.

As soon as the four of them walked in, Concubine Shu and her party had already arrived at the door, seeing Tang Xueyao waiting at the door, Concubine Shu sneered and said, "Tang Xueyao, you are so arrogant that you want me to come to see you in person. "

"I didn't expect that it was really the imperial concubine who came." Tang Xueyao showed surprise on her face, and hurriedly saluted, "I didn't know that the imperial concubine arrived, but Xueyao was far away from welcoming her. Please forgive me, the imperial concubine."

Concubine Shu looked at the fallen guards all around, and snorted coldly: "I sent people to look for you, but your people beat me like this. Now you tell me that you don't know that Bengong is here. When Ben Gong is a three-year-old child, is it so easy to deceive?!"

"Young concubine, please forgive me. If the person who just came to shout was someone from the palace, Xueyao would have believed it without saying a word, but the person who came was Chunlan, and she is from the palace..." Tang Xueyao said.

"Why, is there any problem with the people in the palace?" Concubine Shu said.

"Although all the people in the palace are servants, their food and clothing costs are better than that of my princess. I didn't mean to ignore Chunlan, but I was really afraid of being tormented by her, and I was afraid that she would make up another lie to deceive me. I go out, bully me and humiliate me..." Tang Xueyao said, lowering her head and said to Concubine Shu, "Xueyao lives in this palace, works hard every day, like walking on thin ice, in order to protect herself, she has to be careful, please forgive me."

As Tang Xueyao spoke, she saluted again.

A gust of wind blew up the white clothes on her body, matching Tang Xueyao's stunning appearance, it should have been a very beautiful picture, but in the next moment, a big hole was seen in the hem of the clothes.

Take a closer look, although the clothes are white, but the neckline and cuffs are worn and yellowed, it looks really shabby.

Concubine Shu immediately noticed the abnormality of Tang Xueyao's clothes. As a nobleman in the court, her food and clothing are the best, not to mention Concubine Shu, even the maids around her didn't wear such junk.

Concubine Shu said with some distaste: "Your ragged clothes... did you bring them from your natal family? No matter what, you are now Ning Han's wife, a dignified concubine, you still have to pay attention to your appearance, it is inevitable to dress like this Too disrespectful to the royal family."

Tang Xueyao finally waited until Concubine Shu noticed her clothes, lowered her head and said respectfully: "If you go back to your mother, this dress was not brought by Xueyao from her mother's house, but it was given to me by Housekeeper Zhou. It is for Ning Han clothes."

"What?" Concubine Shu's face was ugly. After all, one second she still disliked Tang Xueyao's shabbiness, and the next second she was slapped in the face. The clothes were actually given to the prince by the palace. Then what she just said, didn't it become Boomerang, it's unseemly to become a palace instead? !
Housekeeper Zhou next to Concubine Shu also remembered at this moment that he had sent old clothes to King Ning before.

Although Tang Xueyao blamed him a few words at that time, she didn't pursue it afterwards.

Steward Zhou thought this matter would just pass away, but he never expected that Tang Xueyao would bring it up at such a critical moment after a few days!
His expression changed, and he just wanted to step forward to stop Tang Xueyao from continuing.

Tang Xueyao didn't give him a chance to interrupt, and immediately said: "Xueyao's family is poor, and she really didn't bring any dowry into the palace. She thought that the majestic palace would not be short of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but she didn't expect that even King Ning had to wear it. Such shabby clothes, as for Xueyao herself, apart from the red wedding dress given by the imperial concubine, the clothes can be changed and washed."

"In desperation, Xueyao had no choice but to go out of the house yesterday, trying to get some silver to buy new clothes for the prince." Tang Xueyao said, "The prince has changed into new clothes now, Xueyao really has nothing to wear, so I can only buy new clothes for the prince." I put the prince's old clothes on myself, and I hope that the imperial concubine will forgive me."

Concubine Shu looked at Steward Zhou with a sullen face: "Butler Zhou, is the princess telling the truth?"

Butler Zhou was thinking about how to justify this matter, but Tang Xueyao immediately said loudly: "Please don't punish Butler Zhou, he didn't deliberately withhold all the food, clothing, and salary of the palace. It's just a habit of squandering." Now, I can't spit it out for a while."

When Butler Zhou heard this, he panicked and didn't care about brewing emotions. He quickly shouted: "If the princess doesn't like Zhou, she can just say it directly. Why bother to frame me like this. Don't say anything else, the princess said the last sentence." I am so poor that I don’t even have a change of clothes, and the next sentence says that I went out of the mansion privately yesterday to buy new clothes for the prince, where did the money come from? Didn’t the princess find that what I said was contradictory?!”

Naturally, Tang Xueyao would not say that she had pawned her wedding dress in exchange for money.

Once Concubine Shu knows that she has money, it will be difficult to take money from Concubine Shu for a while.

She looked at Steward Zhou, smiled slightly and said: "The capital is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a lot of spare money in their hands. There are many ways to make money, such as wearing this tattered clothes and walking on the street. Some people sympathized with me and rewarded me with a few pieces of silver."

When Tang Xueyao said that, Concubine Shu's face turned green: "You said, you went to the street to beg in this dress?!"

"Don't worry, imperial concubine, no one knows that I am the concubine of the palace." Tang Xueyao said "comforting".

"Nonsense!" Concubine Shu roared angrily.

Although she doesn't care about the affairs of the palace, she pays the most attention to face, otherwise she wouldn't have prepared such a beautiful wedding dress for Tang Xueyao.

In the end, Tang Xueyao turned around and went to the street to find common people to beg for money. If this news got out, where would she lose face? Wouldn't the group of imperial concubines in the palace who were at odds with her be laughed off her teeth? !
Seeing that Tang Xueyao had successfully angered Concubine Shu, Chunlan quickly whispered in Concubine Shu's ear: "Madam, this Tang Xueyao is full of lies, you must not believe her one-sided words. I think she has a lot of money in her hand, so she will come back from the house that day." , not only bought new clothes, but also brought back four maids, all of whom are excellent in martial arts, and your guards were injured by them just now."

Concubine Shu glanced at Chunlan, then at Steward Zhou, and finally her eyes fell on Tang Xueyao again.

After all, she is a master of palace fighting who has lived in the deep palace for a long time. Concubine Shu is keenly aware that the words of the three people present at the moment are all half-true and false, and may not be credible.

At this moment, Tang Xueyao said: "Your Majesty, whether it is Chunlan, Steward Zhou or me, the three of us are parties involved, and we will only tell your Majesty what is beneficial to us. Our testimony is indeed one-sided and cannot be trusted. But , Xueyao can recommend some witnesses to the empress to ensure that what they say is absolutely fair and just."

"Oh?" Concubine Shu said, "Who is it? It can't be your four maids, right?"

"Of course not." Tang Xueyao said, and glanced at the back door of the palace, "They are the common people who live near the palace. Your Majesty may not believe what I say, but she will definitely not disbelieve what the common people say."

After Tang Xueyao finished speaking, the expressions of Chunlan and Butler Zhou changed, and they both thought of one thing at the same moment——

When Tang Xueyao first came to the palace, she was locked in the courtyard. She asked the people near the palace for help, and then successfully pressured Steward Zhou to release her!

"Your Majesty, this is a private matter of the palace, why bother the common people, what if today's incident gets out, and it will damage the reputation of the palace!" Steward Zhou said immediately.

"Those common people have already seen how the servants of the palace oppressed their master. Regardless of whether the imperial concubine or empress asks today, the reputation of the palace has long been tarnished by you people, and it may even drag down the reputation of the imperial concubine. "Tang Xueyao said, "On the contrary, once the empress investigates in person, the common people will know that the empress is actually kept in the dark, and it is you villains who are really doing evil!"

When Concubine Shu heard that her reputation was involved, she no longer hesitated, and immediately led a group of people towards the back door.

Although the wall of the back door of the palace was blocked, the door was still there. Once the door was opened, there was a bustling street outside.

Concubine Shu's appearance and attire made her stand out from the crowd, so she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is... Concubine Shu?"

"Isn't Concubine Shu in the palace, why did she appear here?"

"Is the person next to Concubine Shu the princess?"

"That's right, it's Princess Ning, I saw her a few days ago!"

"Princess Ning looks really good-looking."

"It's just that the clothes are a little torn..."

"Speaking of which, the last time I saw the princess, it was the servants of the palace who treated the master harshly and refused to give the princess water and food."

"That day we upheld justice for the princess, and the princess was lucky to thank us. I don't know how the princess's life in the palace will be after that day."

"I don't think so. Look at her clothes. They are tattered. There are several big holes leaking out when the wind blows. I'm afraid it's not as good as ordinary people like us..."

"It's too bad."

The whisperings of the people around came to Concubine Shu's ears one by one, she didn't even need to ask, just listening to the voices of the people talking, she basically knew the truth.

The more she listened, the more ugly Concubine Shu's face became.

In front of the people, she is not easy to get angry, so she can only suppress her anger.

It wasn't until all the people dispersed that Concubine Shu returned to the palace with a livid face.

"Everyone has gone against the sky. You think I live too comfortably in the palace, and you deliberately make trouble for me, don't you?!"

Just after returning to the front hall, Concubine Shu didn't even have time to sit down, she directly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it viciously on the ground.
