first class maid

Chapter 19
The prince Yu Wenhong who had just stepped in happened to hear these words that dared to challenge his father's authority, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned. He could only see the back of the court lady kneeling on the ground. It seemed that she was dressed as a low-level court lady, and her voice sounded strange. But he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet he actually set such a language trap for his father.

If the father doesn't want to consider himself a faint king, then he has only one choice, which is to give this court lady a chance to speak, this court lady is quite astute.

"Bold, Xun Zhen, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to apologize?" Xu You first scolded Xun Zhen, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The servant girl is not strict in teaching, so I should take the blame for her..."

Is this court lady the daughter of General Xun?Yu Wenhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled the situation when she first entered the palace that year. After many years, although she did not see each other again, Zhang Sibo reported Xun Zhen's situation to him, but he never really let go of her. In my heart, what has always been brooding is that General Xun's son is still missing.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Unexpectedly, she hadn't seen her for many years, but she impressed him. She walked in with confident steps, stepped forward to salute Xu You, and interrupted Xu You's words, "Father, this court lady is naturally extremely bold, but Father is a wise king. Why not give her a chance to speak? If she speaks unreasonably, it will not be too late to fight and kill." With a majestic gaze, he glanced sideways at Xun Zhen, and as expected, he did not grow into a beautiful woman, but Those eyes grew brighter.

Feeling the coercion of this gaze, Xun Zhen glanced up at Yu Wenhong with her eyeballs, and her heart beat faster with just one glance, and the cold sweat on her back almost soaked the palace dress. Isn't this...the crime she was punished back then Prince?Don't blame her for being able to recognize him at a glance. In fact, in those few years, he often appeared in her nightmares, and she always remembered that cold threat, "Don't blame Gu..."

She did not change as expected, Yu Wenhong smiled threateningly at the corner of his mouth, and looked directly at her. Sure enough, the next moment, her eyes widened instantly, and she quickly turned her head, automatically lowering her head, not daring to look at him again, like A frightened little white boy is like, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to laugh out loud.

Xun Zhen always felt that his gaze was still on her body. If there was a hole in the ground for her to hide in, she would get in without saying a word, just begging him not to see her in his eyes.

The chances of Emperor Yuwentai being provoked like this are really rare. The last time in my memory was when Xun Fang was sentenced seven years ago. The old man did not kowtow to beg for mercy, but looked at him with wise eyes. "Your Majesty, the death of a subject is not a pity. I just hope that the Emperor will not regret it in the future. As a Mingjun and Holy Lord, you should put the people first. If you can't do this, Your Majesty will be ashamed of all the soldiers who died in defense of the country. Ladies and gentlemen. Although my Xun family received this unwarranted crime today, the heavens can learn from it. Our Xun family is worthy of China and worthy of Your Majesty." At that time, he was naturally very angry when he heard these words.

At this moment, the image of this little court lady overlapped with Xun Fang, and she also used the words Mingjun and Shengzhu to put pressure on him. What is wrong with him?The Xun family sentenced the country to the crime, the evidence of the crime is conclusive and cannot be denied. Thinking of this, his clenched fists loosened, his eyes locked on the bold maid, and he sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in a voice that he thought was enlightened: " I don't need you, a little maid, to confirm whether I am a Mingjun, but you are also my subject after all, so I will give you a chance to speak. If you speak unreasonably, I will not just hit you with a hundred boards and settle the matter. Do you understand?"

"My servant understands. Thank you, the emperor, for giving this servant a chance to speak." Xun Zhen's little heart was already trembling, but she didn't want to die in vain. She couldn't survive a hundred boards, and the result was nothing more than Even if you die, if you give it a go, there may be a way to survive.

Emperor Yu Wentai snorted through his nose, quite disapproving, took the tea offered by Concubine Shu, who was just a little maid, and he just listened to her dying words.

Yu Wenhong was sitting in a huanghuali wood armchair beside him, but there was a touch of indifference in his seemingly comfortable eyes, this little girl should not let him down, she deliberately glanced at Xu You, and saw her eyes tightly Staring at Xun Zhen with a worried look on his face, Sun Datong, who was holding tea and was about to hand it over, paused.

Xun Zhen knelt down to the emperor, still holding up the sachet in front of Yu Wentai, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this pattern, I dare you, please tell me what you see."

What kind of tricks is this little maid playing?The emperor felt a little strange in his heart, no matter how upset he was, now was not the time to explode, unless he admitted that he was a fatuous monarch? "Didn't I mention the picture of Avalokitesvara giving away a child?"

"Your Majesty is right. It was Guanyin who sent the picture of 'Zi'." Xun Zhen's tone suddenly became cheerful, and he recited the word "Zi" heavily.

Yu Wentai was taken aback for a moment, but the little palace lady's mind was spinning quickly, "Huh, what I'm talking about is the picture of Guanyin giving a girl." Don't try to take advantage of his words to get away.

"Your Majesty is right. In fact, it means that Master Guanyin is sending children to Concubine Shu. It is a good word to have a son and a wife. It is also to pray that Concubine Shu can give birth to a dragon and a phoenix. I hope that the dragon and phoenix will bless us. The weather in the country is smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor lives as long as the sky." Xun Zhen said a few good words repeatedly.

Immediately, the faces of the people present were a little bit dumbfounded. How can this Avalokitesvara Sending a Child Picture be explained in this way?
"You are clearly nonsense, how could you explain it like this? Where can you tell?" Concubine Shu was the first to attack, "You actually deceived the emperor by talking nonsense, isn't it a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Could it be that Concubine Shu is unwilling to give birth to twins?" Xun Zhen asked with his eyes widened.

"Of course I am willing." Concubine Shu quickly looked at the emperor's face, could she say she didn't want to?Then it became clear that this little maid was very cunning.

"Then how can you say that the slaves are lying to deceive the emperor? It is precisely because the slaves are praying in their hearts that they present such a picture of Guanyin giving away a child to the empress. Your Majesty, please look at it. The golden lotus seed on the lotus just means that the lotus will give birth to a precious son, isn't it just a wish for a son? Besides, the Guanyin master holds the jade girl in his hand, doesn't it mean that he is going to give away a son and a daughter? Doesn't the willow jade bottle in his hand just mean the emperor? The grace of rain and dew spread all over the world, and all the subjects of the world are shrouded in the grace of God." Xun Zhen tried his best to keep his expression as natural as possible, and he must not show any timidity. If you want to be convinced, you must first be convinced.
