The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 268
It's just that no matter how outstanding her appearance is, she can't suppress her elegance and luxury. Anyone who stands in front of her will involuntarily bow their heads. This woman is born with the courage to overwhelm all living beings.

All of a sudden, someone said: "It really is a vixen, it smells so bad!" Everyone followed the voice, and saw a man who was over forty years old, wearing a third-rank official uniform, with a sneer of disdain on his lips. , the lady with a slender face was looking at Boqing with disdain.

Since running the city, Boqing has been too lazy to deal with it. Apart from meeting a few courtiers' wives from Fengqi Kingdom on the day of Laba, it was the first time to meet the courtier's engraved wives. And this person was against her.

The fickle eyes could not help but narrow slightly, and looked at the joking middle-aged woman from a distance, the third-rank imperial order.Xiaohe Kingdom is considered a big country now, and although it can't be said that there are a lot of third-rank officials, the number of them is quite considerable.

The ice eyes just swept away, and the people on that side couldn't help shivering.

Especially the target who was locked on by ruthlessness, it made people feel like there was a knife resting on her neck, her neck shrank and shrank, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at her.

Boqing raised the corners of her lips, and smiled disdainfully. This is today's early bird, something she doesn't have, and slowly walked forward to salute: "The concubine sees the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

Because today is the first day of the new year, all the concubines and orders are here, and the empress can't go beyond the rules to avoid the frivolous ceremony, and said with a smile: "Madam Zhongshu Ling, please get up."

"Give a seat."

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

Boqing sat down at the designated position, and did not talk to the lady next to her. She just kept her eyes far away, lazily looking at the third-rank lady who spoke just now.

If you want to stand out so much, let's try what it feels like to be a standout bird.

She stared at the other person feeling uncomfortable and kept dodging, but no matter how she dodged, or pretended to chat with the wives next to her, she could never ignore her ruthless eyes. Those two eyes, like a needle, were fixed on her. body.

After the queen saw it, she knew the reason, but said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhongshuling, why do you keep looking at Xia Shuren?" This girl wants to show her prestige today.

Boqing got up and said respectfully: "Go back to the empress, the concubine just wanted to ask Xia Shuren if what she said just now alluded to my wife. After all, it was spread outside that the concubine served the king as a wife There is an uproar, and the concubine is now a shadow of a snake, I want to ask clearly."

Everyone didn't expect Boqing to be so direct, Xia Shuren opened her mouth wide in shock, and after recovering, she secretly asked Concubine Yi for help.

Concubine Yi pretended not to see it, and was only interested in chatting with the two higher-ranking concubines next to her.

Xia Shuren couldn't help being anxious, and said calmly: "Yes, it's not as good, this is the imperial palace, what else can you do to Mrs. Ben."

Boqing sneered coldly, biting his index finger and said with a smile: "If not, I would like to congratulate you for not being out of your mind and not being too stupid to be cured. It's a pity that you didn't give this lady this chance; , In this way, your Xia family may not be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Before hearing Xia Shuren's response, someone had already spoken first, and saw a lady sitting not far from Xia Shuren, covering her face with a silk and smiling: "Yo, Xia Shuren is just a joke, why is Mrs. Zhongshuling so caring? Could it be that the rumors outside are all... true." After speaking, she covered her face and smiled again.

Boqing smiled coldly, and said lightly: "I don't know what the name of this lady is?"

Concubine Yi smiled triumphantly and said, "Mrs. Zhongshuling, this is the wife of Mr. Su, a cabinet scholar."

"So it's Mrs. Su."

She smiled flirtatiously and contemptuously, then suddenly stopped her smile, and said sternly, "Mrs. Su, could it be that you, like Xia Shu, believed in those market rumors?"

Mrs. Su said casually: "It doesn't matter if you believe it, it's spread like this in the whole world now."

Boqing said coldly: "The Su family and the Xia family probably won't have the chance to see the sun tomorrow." Everyone couldn't help being startled, and looked at Boqing in bewilderment.

The corners of Boqing's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a half-smile: "Let's talk about Xia Shuren's crimes first."

Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears...

"First, the body, hair and skin are inherited from your parents. If Xia Shuren insults my wife, it is tantamount to insulting my parents. How can my wife tolerate you;"

"Secondly, my wife is a second-rank order, and Xia Shu's order is a third-rank order. Xia Shu's words are disrespectful to this lady. Do you want to offend me, or do you have no queen and queen mother in your heart, and you want to go directly past them and admonish this lady?"

First, Xia Shuren didn't understand Bo Qing's situation, but ignored it; second, Xia Shuren was frightened, and threw herself on the ground.

Boqing just smiled coldly, staring at Xia Shuren with cold eyes, and there is one last crime: "Thirdly, Xia Shuren insulted my wife in public this time, which proves that you have listened to the rumors outside. Since you believe the rumors outside, you believe it from the bottom of your heart. This madam seduces the emperor and believes that the emperor is a corrupt monarch. It is not an exaggeration to punish your Xia family for such a big crime of treason."

Hiss... Everyone couldn't help breathing in, and the faces of the people present couldn't help but changed drastically, and they cast sympathetic eyes on Xia Shuren.

Number one, because they don't understand, they can ignore the threat of flirtatiousness.

The second article, the crime of transgression, is only a punishment, a beating.

But the third article, spreading rumors, slandering the monarch, damaging the royal family's face, and tarnishing the monarch's reputation, any one of them is a death penalty for treason.

Just as Boqing said, even if it is all over the house, it is not an exaggeration.

Xia Shuren couldn't help turning pale, and Madam Su didn't dare to show her air. At this time, it was too late to regret, and she hated herself for saying the previous sentence.

The others were even more silent, not even daring to give a sympathetic look.

The concubines have long been taught the power of fickleness, and they have long been prepared in their hearts, but after the fickle remarks, they still give them a feeling of survival after a catastrophe. They secretly thank them, but fortunately, no one listens to rumors and crowds out the woman in front of them. Otherwise, there is really no place to die.

Because they, like Xia Shuren and Mrs. Su, only remember that Boqing is a witch who is a disaster for the country, but they forget that another object is the king who decides their life and death with every word and deed.

Whoever believes the rumors is slandering the king and is punishable by death.

Boqing slowly approached the two of them, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Mrs. Su, Xia Shuren, what you have committed is the crime of exterminating the family. My wife dare not overstep, so I still ask the empress to die."

The empress usually wore a smile on her calm and kind face, but at this time she was also covered with anger, and said indifferently: "Mrs. Su, Xia Shuren, slandering the emperor, everyone sitting here can testify, you really deserve to die It is not an exaggeration to execute him on the spot, but this matter is related to the stability of the previous dynasty, so I should consult the emperor first before making a decision."

Turning her head to the maid beside her, she said: "Luoxia, you go to find Eunuch Tan and explain the situation. How to deal with the two of you is up to the emperor." Luoxiafu turned her back and quickly walked out of the palace gate.

In the hall, Xia Shuren, Mrs. Su collapsed on the ground with a dead face.

Boqing stared at the two coldly, Xia Shuren was being used by others, and it was understandable.

Mrs. Su is simply looking for a dead end.

Live it!

The queen looked at the fickleness, and said dotingly: "Madam Zhongshu Ling, what's wrong with two sinners, standing is not tiring, sit down quickly, you will stand up soon."

Boqing sat down on the seat obediently, took a cup of hot tea from Manhua dressed as Jin'er, slipped the lid of the cup casually, and inadvertently glanced across at the pale-faced Concubine Yi, with a cold smile in her eyes .

Now I know I'm afraid, it's too late.

In less than a cup of tea, Luoxia and Eunuch Tan appeared in front of everyone.Clearing his throat, Eunuch Tan said in a serious manner: "Tell the emperor's word of mouth!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, only listening to Eunuch Tan's shrill voice: "The emperor said, read in the Xia Shangshu, Su University scholar has made meritorious service to the court, he will be dismissed from his position, and the death penalty of his family members will be exonerated, and Xia Liu, a third-rank Shuren, will be bestowed upon him. Mrs. Yipin ordered his wife, Mrs. Su Li, to be punished by the empress for the death penalty, hereby!"

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

With the imperial decree, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Xia Shuren and Mrs. Su were just fighting for the top for a while, and they almost ruined the whole family. Just killing the two people in front of them is considered the emperor's kindness. If it were someone else, it would not be too much to punish the nine clans.

The queen looked down from a height, and Xia Shuren and Madam Su, who had collapsed on the ground, were calm and majestic. Matched with the queen's court clothes, they were like the appearance of a Buddha, with a dignified appearance.

His eyes swept across the crowd, and he said indifferently: "The right and wrong are all because of the strong, I hope you will learn from it."

Everyone knelt on the ground and said, "I would like to respect the teaching of the empress."

The queen looked at Xia Shuren and Mrs. Su with a condensed expression, hesitated for a moment and turned to her tenderness: "Mrs. Zhongshuling, I don't want to commit more crimes in this palace right now, so I'll let you do it for me. It's not appropriate to see blood on the first day of the new year." , You can figure it out." In fact, it is to give Baoqing a chance to make a name for herself.

Boqing Fushen respectfully replied yes, the word yes was still ringing, and the graceful figure appeared in front of Xia Shuren and Mrs. Su like a ghost, and everyone couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

She stretched out her jade hand and tightly pinched the necks of the two, only to hear two sounds of broken bones, and the two figures had been thrown out of the door.

In the blink of an eye, the two lives, without even a chance to beg for mercy and struggle, died in the hands of Bo Qing without saying a word, and the people present couldn't help being shocked.

Eunuch Tan regained his senses, put away the fear on his face, blessed the queen, and hurried back to report to the emperor.

When he walked out of the gate of the palace, he saw the two corpses that had been thrown on the snow ground carelessly, he couldn't help feeling horrified, tightened his collar, and quickly walked out of Fengyi Palace.

About half an hour later, the emperor sent someone to pass the decree, asking the empress to lead a group of concubines and imperial orders to the Jinghua Hall of Changchun Palace for a banquet.

Palace banquets are one of the ways to express the strength of the country, and they have always been luxurious.

Although there are no foreign envoys in today's banquet, it is the first day of the new arrival. One plan is spring, so it is naturally more grand than the usual palace banquet.

The Changchun Palace was repainted early, and the pearls and palace lanterns illuminated the sky like daytime. The floor was covered with expensive carpets, and the wishful patterns embroidered with gold threads reflected the pearly light, exuding a charming luster.

The golden dragon playing beads on the palace pillars on both sides and the night pearl on the dragon's mouth are as big as a newborn baby's head, illuminating the colorful flying phoenixes on the wall vividly, fully interpreting the preciousness of Tianjia.

Sitting together with a group of second-rank wives, Bao Qing was beautiful and generous because of her young age, which attracted the attention of many people. Coupled with some external factors, she almost became the focus of all voices.

Who is not curious about this woman who has been rumored constantly, she is a woman who is a disaster, a witch who is a disaster to the country, and just now, she has two living lives, which made her abandon her legendary color.

Sitting in the crowd now, even if she did nothing, she still exudes a charm that makes people look away. Her beautiful face, calm and noble temperament, and elegant demeanor have all become evidence for everyone to check her deeds .

She accepts everyone's scrutiny indifferently, but unfortunately tonight's protagonist is not her, but someone else. His gaze falls on the empress, who is dressed in purple and elegant, and the corners of his lips twitch, revealing a cold smile. .
