Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 514

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. In the past few days, there has been no incident in the harem, but in the previous dynasty, apart from the matters of the southwest border, there are also matters of the Xiao family to deal with.

Although Emperor Jing had already dealt with Xiao's family, he did not execute the execution immediately. In the early court, Emperor Jing finally discussed with the ministers about the execution time.

The time was set at the beginning of July, and Su Zhiyuan would personally supervise the beheading. Because Xiao Peng committed a heinous crime, he would be executed by beheading at that time.

The so-called punishment by chopping is what the folks say. Of course, this is just a saying.

Xiao Peng was set at one hundred and eight knives, that is to say, he would not die if he did not pay the one hundred and eight knives.

Although it was a bit cruel, the number of people killed by him was far more than one hundred and eight people, so cutting him one hundred and eight knives was considered a special kindness.

After the early court, Emperor Jing ordered people to move Zhezi to Longgan Palace as before. He planned to go to the Imperial Study to deal with some matters first, and then go to Longgan Palace to accompany Su Qingyan.

Li Zheng followed behind Hongxiu and walked towards Yichun Palace. In Li Zheng's hands, she was holding a rather exquisite box, which was the only box she could afford at home.

The box contained the embroidery that Concubine Rong ordered before. Today is the fourth day, the day to send the embroidery to the palace.

Just like last time, Li Zheng kept her head down, not daring to look around, and she didn't raise her head until Hong Xiu stopped.

However, what appeared in front of my eyes was not the Yichun Palace, but the bright yellow emperor guard of honor, and Emperor Jing, who was wearing a dragon robe, walked not far ahead.

Li Zheng stared blankly, until Hongxiu's voice came, and then she quickly knelt down.

Emperor Jing's gaze flicked over Hong Xiu and Li Zheng, but he quickly retracted. He walked forward with a blank expression, not paying any attention to the person he saw just now.

"What happened to Miss Li just now? Why are you so dazed?" After Emperor Jing left, Hongxiu stood up and looked at Li Zheng.

"Auntie Hongxiu, please forgive me. It's the first time a girl of the people saw Tianwei, and she was taken away by shock." Hearing the displeasure in Hongxiu's words, Li Zheng quickly opened her mouth. She felt uneasy in her heart. It's very rude.

"Forget it, don't do this next time. In the harem, it is normal to see the emperor. In fact, you are lucky. This is the second time you have entered the palace, and you have seen the emperor."

Looking at Li Zheng's expression, seeing that she had nothing but fear, Hong Xiu smiled again and said to Li Zheng.

"Minnv remembered. Thank you, aunt, for reminding me again." Nodding again and again, Li Zheng's attitude was very respectful, Hong Xiu looked away, and led her back to Yichun Palace.

Following behind Hong Xiu, Li Zheng deliberately turned her head and took another look at the bright yellow guard of honor, but her heart was warning her not to act rashly.

In the end, reason overcame his heart, Li Zheng didn't turn his head, and followed Hongxiu with his head down as before.

What Li Zheng didn't know was that Hongxiu had been watching her secretly. If she really dared to turn her head and wait for her, it would definitely not be a good result.

Led by Hong Xiu, Li Zheng finally came to Yichun Palace. She followed Hong Xiu into the main hall and saluted Concubine Rong.

"Excuse me, give me a seat." Sitting on the imperial concubine chair, Concubine Rong looked at Li Zheng, smiled and said, Li Zheng responded, got up, took a few steps forward, and presented the brocade box in his hand.

Hong Xiu took the brocade box from her hand and sent it to Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong took it, opened the box, and took out the embroidered handkerchief from inside.

"The craftsmanship is really good. You must have practiced it since you were a child, right?" Li Zheng's embroidery is very good. You can tell it at a glance, and it has been practiced for a long time.

"It's a daughter's honor to be liked by your empress." After saluting, Li Zheng sat down, and it could be seen that Concubine Rong liked the handkerchief embroidered by Li Zheng very much, and put it directly on her cuffs.

"How have you been these few days?" Seeing that Li Zheng was the same as before without much change, Concubine Rong asked with a smile and concern.

"Thank you for your concern, the imperial concubine. Everything is fine with the daughters. I wonder when the daughters will enter the palace tomorrow and learn the rules from the nanny?"

Hearing Li Zheng's question, Concubine Rong thought about it, and then said, "Then come at the beginning of Sishi, and leave at the end of Shenshi. At noon, you will stay in Yichun Palace for dinner. When you leave, I will also order someone to give you a meal." Prepare to eat, as for breakfast, you have to settle it at home."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine." For Li Zheng, it was a very good thing to be able to have lunch and dinner directly in the palace. After all, it would save her a lot of time and money.

For breakfast, just cook some porridge, even if you can solve it yourself, it's nothing.

When she first entered the palace at Sishi, she could do some work at home, busy with work, and had a lot of time. She left at the end of Shen Shi, and it was still dark. When she returned home, she could also take advantage of the dawn to wash up.

"It's fine if you agree. At noon, after lunch, you can sleep in the side hall for an hour, and then continue to learn the rules from the teaching nun. Look at me, you are a smart person. I don't think it will take long, and the rules will follow." Learned well."

Seeing the joy on Li Zheng's face, Concubine Rong spoke again, and Li Zheng quickly saluted again, thanking Concubine Rong.

At this time, in Li Zheng's heart, he was very grateful to Imperial Concubine Chen and Su Wang. If it weren't for them, he would not have had such an opportunity to become Princess An's teacher.

"It's done. After the matter is finished, I won't keep you any longer. When you leave later, if you want to kowtow to Concubine Chen, I will let Hongxiu take you there. If you don't go for a while, I will let you go." Hongxiu will send you out of the palace."

Without Su Qingyan's help, Li Zheng wouldn't be where he is today, and it's normal for her to kowtow to thank her, that's why Concubine Rong told her so.

"Your Majesty, the girl wants to kowtow to Concubine Chen after learning the rules." After hearing Concubine Rong finished speaking, Li Zheng replied that the reason why she didn't go now was because she had her own thoughts in her heart.

Although there is nothing that can be sold in my own home, but I can save some money, get a small piece of good material, and make two handkerchiefs, and I can still do it.

It's just that I don't know if my own feelings will be rejected by Imperial Concubine Chen?
Hearing what Li Zheng said, Concubine Rong was not reluctant, she ordered Hong Xiu to pack some palace snacks for Li Zheng, and then let Hong Xiu personally send her out of the palace.

After seeing off people and returning to Yichun Palace, Hongxiu told Concubine Rong what happened today...
