Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 55
"Bold!"

Concubine Duan slammed the table and stood up, her face was full of anger.

"How dare you satirize me, Xie Jinhua, who gave you the courage to act presumptuously in Qifeng Palace!"

Xie Jin put away the smile on his lips, and slowly knelt down, but not to the angry concubine Duan over there, but to the empress who had never said a word: "My daughter asks herself that she is innocent, but she suffers for nothing. When people talk, I get angry for a moment, what I said is a bit too much, I hope the empress will forgive me."

It was an apology, but it made Duan Concubine, who stood up angrily and accused Xie Jin of drawing a picture, looked ugly.

"Niang Niang, this Xie family's second wife obviously doesn't take you seriously, her words and deeds are vulgar, and her behavior is inappropriate. She really deserves to be punished."

Concubine Duan looked at Xie Jinhua viciously, wishing to tear her apart, and could not blame her for this, it was really because Concubine Duan was Princess Yong'an's biological mother.

Princess Yong'an was punished and sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the emperor has not yet let her go back, and Concubine Duan heard that Princess Yong'an's face was ruined, so naturally she wanted to clean up Xie Jinhua.

Because of Concubine Duan's bright malicious eyes, Baihe couldn't help but look at Xie Jinhua with panic.

She didn't dare to talk too much, because there was no room for her to talk too much here.

Xie Jinhua was very calm. She looked up at the queen, and met her gaze with deep scrutiny: "My daughter is bold, but her temperament has always been like this, and her parents also dislike her recklessness. She always speaks bluntly and harshly. There is something in the words of the little girl just now that really accidentally offended the empress, please don't blame the empress if she doesn't know."

Xie Jinhua's eyes were full of stubbornness and a little bit of fear and dissatisfaction, it was because of his dissatisfaction with Concubine Duan, the queen just happened to look straight at her.

"What a sharp tongue, this is Qifeng Palace, not a place where you can speak wildly, since you also know that you have said something wrong, then naturally you have to punish it according to the rules, come here, give Xie Jia Er Niang a good upbringing Long memory, let her know what to say and what not to say!"

The palace servant behind Concubine Duan had already taken out the prepared claw board from his sleeve, walked up to Xie Jinhua, and was about to wave his hand at her face.

The palace maid's eyes were full of malice, imagining that Xie Jin's painting of the magnificent color of the prosperous age would be destroyed in her own hands in the next moment, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

This thing is specially used to punish palace officials who have violated their tongues. If it is used with a cruel heart, it only takes three or two slaps, and a face will be rotten.

Lily, who was always worried and afraid to speak out, saw the burly claws slapping Xie Jinhua's cheek, she no longer cared about the fear, and opened her hand to block Xie Jinhua's face : "Don't hurt our lady!"

The sound of the claw board falling was very urgent, Lily watched the claw board's eyeballs continue to enlarge, held her breath, and couldn't help closing her eyes.

"Ah!" He groaned, accompanied by a heavy landing, but it was Xie Jinhua who grabbed the hand of the maid who was waving the claw board and squeezed it hard, and then pushed it hard.

How could the maid think that in front of the empress, someone would dare to resist like this, she accidentally fell to the ground with the board in her hand.

It seemed that he fell down his waist, his face was pale, and the pain was severe.

"You, you are bold! You actually dared to hurt my palace maid. This is simply treason. Come, come and take her down."

Concubine Duan's face was panicked and angry, but her eyes were vicious and triumphant. Even though she called for someone to come several times, no one came forward to grab Xie Jinhua. She slowly shut up, a little stunned. Looking to the Queen.

"Miss."

She didn't understand what the queen meant, and she had shown that she was not kind to Xie Jinhua before.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

Xie Jinhua leaned over and kowtowed again: "Your lady is impatient, but she definitely didn't mean to offend, but just saw the girl's approach, and couldn't help it for a while."

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was only now thinking of being afraid.

The queen sighed: "Your Majesty and my nephew have both told me about you. You were so bold that day that you dared to face even a pack of wolves. You are really impatient and desperate. Now It seems that I know that I am afraid, Concubine Duan, it was you who passed, the appearance of the daughter's family is so important, don't just use those methods every now and then, and make a statement if it's gone."

As soon as the queen's words came out, Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief. Today's test is considered over.

In these short moments, coupled with the previous speculation and Xie Jinhua's understanding of these people in the palace, Xie Jinhua has roughly understood the Queen's mind.

What Concubine Duan said at the beginning that she charmed the emperor would not be aimless, and Xie Jinyao revealed the rumors before going to the hunting ground, and the performance of those guards in the Xie family, Xie Jinhua has now guessed Xie Shangshu's original plan.

Dedicate himself to the emperor, so that he can show in front of the emperor that he is still a pure and lonely minister.

After all, in the previous life when I married King Qi as the second concubine, the Huang family and Princess Qi had always been there to fuel the flames. Xie Shangshu not only did not support, but also opposed it. Until the death of Princess Qi, Xie Jinhua had to marry.

During that period of time, the emperor did not treat Shangshufu a little coldly, but Xie Shangshu spent a lot of effort to get Shangshufu to regain the emperor's trust.

After Xie Jinhua figured it out, she was afraid and resentful for a while. Fortunately, because of her performance, the emperor admired her, but he had no intention of accepting her into the palace.

Otherwise, if according to Xie Shangshu's plan, I would not only serve the emperor, but I'm afraid it would be the most shameless means.

The queen has no sons-in-law, but has an eldest son named Qin Lang who is always on guard against the king. Xie Jinhua is the sister-in-law of the king of Qi. She has good looks, the emperor's appreciation, and ability. It's a big problem when someone enters the palace.

So even if Xie Jinhua saved the young master of Cheng En's family, the empress did not show kindness to Xie Jinhua earlier.

Even if he is praised by the emperor, if he offends the queen in Qifeng Palace, there will be no good fruit to eat.

After Xie Jinhua analyzed the queen's mind, he thought of a way to deal with it.

Xie Jinhua felt relieved, but Concubine Duan's heart ached because of the queen's words.

Face is the most important thing in a girl's family, so does her Yong'an deserve to have her face destroyed?

"Come on, good girl, come over to Ben Gong, and tell Ben Gong what happened in the hunting ground that day, and tell me how you had the courage to rush out."

Xie Jinhua got up, took two steps forward, but before opening his mouth, the queen turned around and nodded to the big palace lady beside her: "Give me a seat."

Just these two words completely determined the queen's attitude.

Xie Jinhua's face when he entered the room just now, the queen was shocked when she saw it, but Xie Jinhua's words and deeds just now made the queen feel at ease.

Xie Jinhua's temperament is not suitable for the court, and the emperor usually does not like women who enter the palace to be too bold and reckless.

Even if it is heard that King Qi has some thoughts on her, it doesn't matter, as long as the emperor is not an important person, she still has some rights to control which courtier's daughter is paired with.

And Xie Jinhua seems to be not very friendly to King Qi.

The queen glanced at Xie Jinhua's clean and beautiful face, and thinking of her family background, the smile on her lips became more kind.

King Qi can marry the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion to increase his strength, fame and influence in the court, and others can also marry the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion to win over Xie Shangshu.

"Speaking of which, I would still like to thank you. If you hadn't shot that day, my nephew would have died. He has been talking about you for the past two days, saying that he would thank you face to face. It can be considered that we have gone through a tribulation together, and there are too many things in this palace, so I didn't make time early to see this second lady of the Xie family. When I see it now, it is really unimaginable. Such a delicate thought Little lady, so bold."

Concubine Duan watched from the side, thinking that the queen would deal with Xie Jinhua, but she didn't expect that after Xie Jinhua's arrogant words and deeds, the queen gave her a seat and joked, looking at Xie Jinhua's appearance like Looking at the close children and nephews.

Concubine Duan couldn't help but said: "Mother, the children of those families also brought guards. When encountering wolves, most of them depend on the guards of each family. How can we give all the credit to a little girl who doesn't know anything?" body."

"And Xie Erniang lost her words and deeds, it's not at all."

"Concubine Duan."

The empress gave a heavy voice, suppressing the voice behind the concubine Duan: "I'm a little tired, you should step down."

This is a direct eviction.

Concubine Duan's complexion turned blue and pale, and she felt that those people in the surrounding Queen's Palace were watching her jokes.

"Concubine, leave."

Unable to stay for another quarter of an hour, Concubine Duan turned around and hurried out, the palace servants who stood up so easily and couldn't straighten their waist for a long time were too lazy to answer and wait.

"The slaves retire."

The palace man hastily saluted the queen, turned around and followed the footsteps of concubine Duan with difficulty.

Xie Jinhua was about to stand up and send off the concubine, the queen took her hand: "Don't worry about people who have nothing to do with her, come, talk to me again."

The alliance between Concubine Duan and King Qi was originally a secret, but for the sake of Yong'an these days, Concubine Duan frequently went to find King Qi, and the Queen found out.

For the queen, King Qi is her confidant.

Anyone related to King Qi is her enemy.

-

Qin Zheng had been guarding outside the queen's bedroom, when he heard footsteps coming from inside, he raised his eyes and saw a beautiful woman in her thirties, who lowered her head again.

He didn't like himself who could do nothing but wait outside.

Concubine Duan didn't notice that Qin Zheng was such an inconspicuous person dressed as a guard. She was now full of resentment and humiliation, she just wanted to leave Qifeng Palace quickly, and wanted to vent her anger fiercely.

"Damn old woman, an old woman who can't lay eggs, thinks she is something, dare to treat me like that, damn it, damn it!"

Concubine Duan kept stepping on the precious flowers and plants on the ground, breaking off the branches and leaves, her face was a little distorted.

"My lady, my lady."

A palace maid hurriedly called from behind: "Your Majesty, calm down, this is the Imperial Garden, it will be bad if you are seen and heard, Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace for now... ah!"

The concubine Duan who turned around slapped her across the face before she finished speaking, "Do you even dare to teach me a lesson?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is not what I mean, I am worried."

The kneeling court lady distorted her rather delicate face, because Concubine Duan's feet were stepping on her fingertips.

The five fingers were bleeding, red and swollen in an instant, and the ten fingers were connected to the heart. The pain was severe, but she didn't dare to scream, only dared to hold back her muffled groan, and let Concubine Duan trample on her hand with pleasure on her face.

"I don't like people who are not good at doing things, and people who can't talk. This is just to make you remember*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************\, I don't like people who can't talk]."

The court lady was trembling, but there was a bitter hatred in her lowered eyes.

Suddenly there was the chuckle of a child and the sound of trampling on the grass.

"Xiaojunwang, Xiaojunwang? Where are you?"

There were constant calls from farther away.

Concubine Duan quickly withdrew her feet, pulled the maid's arm on the ground, and hid behind the rockery, looking at the bouncing little boy holding several precious flowers in one hand and flapping colorful butterflies in the other.

It was a very expensively dressed boy, only five or six years old, Yuxue was very cute, and with the shouts in the distance, he guessed the identity of the other party without much effort.

The eldest princess and her son-in-law have been married for thirteen years, but it was only a few years ago that she finally got a precious phoenix egg. She is so beloved that even the emperor takes care of her.
Looking at the little boy who was getting closer and closer to the rockery where she was hiding, and thinking of the humiliation she had just suffered in Qifeng Palace, a strange light flashed in Duanbi's eyes.

"Xiuyan, I want you to do one thing. If you do it, I will give you a lot of rewards."

Anxiety flashed in the maid's heart.

But there is no room for her refusal, Duanbi took her hand and leaned closer to her ear: "Go over and lead him here."

After Concubine Duan finished speaking her idea, the court lady Xiuyan directly softened her knees: "Your Majesty, you, you are going to cause big trouble."

Concubine Duan clenched Xiuyan's badly injured finger: "Xiuyan, I remember that your sister is working in the embroidery room, right? It's done, I will let her take care of my clothes, and you two sisters can do it too." It's a reunion."

Xiuyan's hand twitched in pain, she closed her eyes: "Your servant obeys."

The little boy was having fun when someone patted his shoulder.

"Who are you?"

The little boy pretended to be serious, with some uneasiness in his eyes, and hid behind his hand holding the flower.

Xiuyan glanced at the other party's hands behind her back, and smiled: "Little Prince, I know that there is a place with the most beautiful flowers and plants, which is three points more beautiful than this imperial garden. May I take you there to pick flowers?"

The little boy hesitated for a while, looking at the gentle and kind smiling face of the other party: "If you don't look good, I will let my mother beat you."

Concubine Duan watched the two figures, one tall and one short walking towards Qifeng Palace, the smile on her lips gradually distorted.

Empress, Xie Jinhua, one of you insulted me, and the other made my daughter suffer so far. I want you to have a hard time.

Qin Zheng had been paying attention to the queen's bedroom, but suddenly heard a sound, it seemed to be a shout?

Qin Zheng frowned. His hearing has always been excellent. He has been specially trained. It is impossible to mishear. Who would shout outside the queen's bedroom?

Vaguely, I felt that the voice was a little immature, as if it was a child's voice.

Qin Zheng glanced at the position of the Queen's bedroom again, hesitated for a while, then turned around and swept towards the direction of the sound.

In any case, Xie Jinhua is still in the Queen's Palace, if something really happens in the Queen's Palace, Xie Jinhua will probably be affected.
