The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 556 Princess
"Hey~" Ling Zhu lingered outside the Meridian Gate, looked up at the sun in the sky, it was as red as fire, scorching his body and mind.

He is an old man, he never thought of taking advantage of Yanhua's status to become an official and rank, and he is already very satisfied to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy as a lecturer and bachelor.Yanhua was right, he was just a sour old man, he couldn't do the intrigue in the court, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the rank four or five ranks and would never be promoted again.

Ever since Yanhua entered the palace and became Concubine Xi, he had heard a lot of rumors about her, and it passed away after hearing about her.

In fact, as early as last year, there were rumors that Concubine Xi was in charge of the harem alone, ruling out dissidents and covering the sky with one hand.Ling Zhu and his wife knew their daughter's character very well, so they just let it go after hearing about it, and never took it seriously.

But this time it was different, it not only spread to many people, but also lasted for a long time.According to legend, Concubine Xi was unwilling to be lonely in the palace, and after getting old and fading, she began to steal people and do things like that with people.Ling Zhu was so angry that he blew his beard. He didn't believe that the daughter he had raised so hard would do such a shameless thing, but it has been spread for a long time, and he began to worry about Yanhua's safety.Thinking about him as a pro-Ama, he couldn't help but start to worry, and those who are not familiar with Yanhua will even believe it.

Because he was old and angry, he almost rolled his eyes and passed out.At this time, someone finally came, and it was Su Peisheng who hurried over with a letter in hand.

"My lord, the emperor asked the servants to come over and give this to your lord." Su Peisheng held the letter in both hands, and presented it to Ling Zhu. Ling Zhu knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then got up to take the letter.

"Does the emperor not have time to see me? Hey..." He sighed, feeling more and more irritable.

"My lord, the emperor said that after your lord has read this letter, you don't need to see him anymore. Just read it now, your lord."

Ling Zhu was a little puzzled. Hearing what he said, he quickly opened the letter to read.The letter is very short, with only a few words: Concubine Xi is steady, self-restraining, virtuous and virtuous, and I am very comforted.

He could recognize the emperor's words. Although there was no signature or seal, these words were more convincing than anything else, and it only smoothed out his worries for the past few days.He suddenly felt that his breathing became much easier, and the sun above his head was not so strong.

"I'm sorry, father-in-law, I'll go back now, I'll go back now." Ling Zhu let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that his body was much lighter.

After Su Peisheng wanted to reply to the letter, he went back to report.

After Yinzhen heard his words, he responded lightly.After reviewing the notes in hand, he suddenly paused, then turned his head to look at Su Peisheng: "Is there such a rumor in the palace?"

Su Peisheng hesitated for a while, then said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, it seems... there is a little bit. But the rules in the palace are strict, and no one dares to comment on it, and the slaves just heard that it seems... there seems to be a little gossip."

Yinzhen was silent, with a sullen face thoughtful...

"Princess, princess, slow down!" After Xiaoxiao entered the palace from Shenwu Gate, she went straight to the imperial garden.She hadn't been back to the palace for a long time, and when she came back, she wanted to see everything. The maid who served her was extremely helpless, and she didn't care whether it was proper or not, so she kept chasing after her.

Xiaoxiao is ten years old, with a pink face, clear eyes, and red lips, cute and clear, even more crystal clear than the morning dew.The queen has always loved her very much, she was afraid of melting if she held it in her mouth, and afraid of touching her when holding it in her hand. In the Old Summer Palace, whatever she wanted, the queen would try her best to get her.It's just that after Hibiscus left, the Queen stayed longer and longer in the Buddhist hall.On this day, Xiaoxiao was idle and bored, so she suddenly wanted to go back to the palace to see Yanhua, and after getting the queen's permission, she came back excitedly.

Three little maids who were sweeping the imperial garden were burying their heads in sweeping the path, and when they were resting, they chatted about the dirty thing they had never seen with their own eyes.It's just that one of them said that Su promised, one said that it was Concubine Xi, and the other stood by and guarded.There is a small lake next to it, and two eunuchs are salvaging the broken leaves and grass on the lake.After hearing their gossip, one of the young eunuchs couldn't help leaning over to listen to a few words.

After the smiling palace maid caught up with her, she stopped yelling and followed Xiaoxiao in the corridor. When she heard rustling noises behind the rockery, she knew that someone was being lazy and broke her mouth, so she tiptoed over. Want to hear a corner.

She vaguely heard them talking about Concubine Xi, and also heard such words as stealing people and not obeying women's morals, and she felt a little displeased.

"Hiss, princess, they..." The maid who followed her gasped, pinched her waist and wanted to scold someone, but was stopped by Xiaoxiao, and made a gesture of silence.

"You just follow me well, don't talk nonsense." Xiaoxiao turned her eyes, revealing a witty and charming look.

"Who?" The guard maid exclaimed when she saw a figure swaying behind the rockery.The palace maid who was chattering quickly closed her mouth, not daring to talk anymore.The little eunuch who came over to listen to the gossip was so frightened that he ran back to the lake and continued to fish for broken leaves on the lake.

Xiaoxiao glanced at her maid in warning, and then walked over with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

The three chattering court ladies were new to the palace last year, and they didn't know Xiaoxiao. It can be seen that she is gorgeously dressed, she must be different from them, so the three of them knelt down tremblingly, but they didn't know what to say to Xiaoxiao. He had no choice but to look at each other, each with a small drum in their hearts.

"What were you guys talking about just now? I want to hear it too. If you speak nicely, I will..." Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes lively and smiled brightly, "I'll give you something good."

"You... who are you?" one of the maids asked boldly.

The smiling little palace maid moved her mouth, and just about to make a sound, she thought of Xiaoxiao's warning not to let her speak, and closed her mouth embarrassingly.

"Me? I'm a new maid in the palace." Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and smiled harmlessly.

"You...you're lying." Another court lady stared at her clothes and retorted timidly.

Xiaoxiao turned cold, she had run out of patience.When she was by the empress's side, she was what she said, and no one had ever dared to disobey her. Now when she asked a few words, these little maids resisted and refused to speak, so she was naturally unhappy.

"If you don't say anything else, I'll have someone send you all to the Punishment Division!" Xiaoxiao put on a serious face, raised her chin, and stared at her eyes, and suddenly there was a little more deterrence.

The three maids didn't know her identity, and when they heard the word Punishment Division, they immediately turned pale with fright.

The palace maids who had released the wind for them just now were the most timid, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly opened their mouths, even their voices were trembling: "...forgive...forgive, it's them, they said bad things about Concubine Xi...they said bad things about Concubine Xi... Concubine Xi is not willing to be lonely, she does...do shameless things with others...but the emperor let Concubine Xi not...do not pursue..."

"Nonsense!" Xiaoxiao roared angrily, his shrill voice was quite ear-piercing.

"Princess, princess, don't listen to their nonsense, the concubine Xi would not do such a thing. The emperor dotes on the empress so much, how could the empress do such a thing..."

When the three maids heard that the child in front of them was a princess, they were so frightened that they all wilted.When they entered the palace, Aunt Jiao Xi told them to be diligent with their hands and strict with their mouths. As a result, they were negligent for the first time and encountered such a thing. They really had no time to regret it.

"All of you, towards the direction of Jingren Palace, everyone kowtows a hundred times!" Xiaoxiao glared at them angrily. Apart from the empress, the person closest to her is her biological mother Concubine Xi. She really hates hearing people slander her behind her back. a birth mother.

"You can do it, just kowtow a thousand heads! Every time you kowtow, you have to say that you deserve to die, and Empress Xi is a good person!"

"Princess...isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong! They're talking bad things about Eniang behind her back! That's how it should be. If they don't beat them to death, it's a light mercy!" Xiaoxiao was so angry that she shook her hand and left, fearing that the three maids would not obey her. Do, looked up, saw two eunuchs by the lake, pointed at them and shouted, "Come here, you'll be counted, don't let them go if they're less than one thousand! I'll interrupt anyone who dares to be lazy!" leg!"

Even so, Xiaoxiao was still worried, and picked a goose warm stone path, let the three maids line up, and then watched them kowtow a few times, and left angrily until they were satisfied.Those two eunuchs were in a dilemma, they already had their own things to do, so wouldn't it be a delay?So as soon as they smiled and left, the two of them had a discussion, and one of them slipped away quietly to report the incident to Zhang Lizi, so that they would not be punished if they failed to complete the errand.

Coincidentally, Yinzhen happened to be relaxing in the imperial garden at that time.When Xiaoxiao punished the three maids, he happened to be sitting on the Yujing Pavilion enjoying the cool air, and after seeing the commotion over there, he asked Su Peisheng to call Xiaoxiao over.

Su Peisheng hurriedly caught up with Xiaoxiao, and when Xiaoxiao heard the words, he turned back to the Yujing Pavilion, walked to the side of the three maids, accidentally saw that one eunuch was missing, and immediately jumped up and cursed: "Where is another eunuch? I obviously called two! Eunuch Su, they are not obedient, you have to teach them a lesson!"

"What's wrong with the princess? Why did you get so angry as soon as you came back? The slaves will definitely teach them a lesson when they turn around." Su Peisheng accompanied Xiaoxiao, leading Xiaoxiao to walk towards the pavilion.

"Hmph! They all have no rules and distance, talking bad things about Er Niang! Er Niang is so nice, how could she do the kind of thing they said? Eunuch Su, Huang Er Niang said, what happened to her when she returned to the palace? I'm looking for you, I'm looking for you now, you must give me a good lesson for those slaves..." Xiaoxiao panted and scolded for a long time before she could calm down.

Looking up, she saw that Yinzhen was staring at her intently, she immediately smiled sweetly, stepped forward and kowtowed to him: "I send my respects to Huang Ama!"

Su Peisheng approached lightly, and hurriedly told Yinzhen what happened just now.He nodded lightly, motioned to get up with a smile: "Get up, did you just come back? How is your empress?"
