Playful Queen

Chapter 21

Shen Yanlang looked at his daughter with a sullen face, "You are getting more and more courageous, and you have to think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and you even took your maid out pretending to be a man!" It's fine to go out, and you will meet the emperor, no, the emperor He has already spoken, can he not be angry?
"Father, I didn't make any mistakes, why can't I leave the mansion?" Mengli raised her head and said confidently. When Xi'er beside her heard it, she knelt down with a pale face and said tremblingly : "Master, it was the servant who forced the young lady out. Master, don't blame the young lady. It's all the fault of the servant. The servant deserves to die!"

"Nonsense! It's none of Xi'er's business!" Mengli scolded anxiously, frowning and looking at Xi'er, she is really a reckless girl.

"Oh? Then tell me, tell me how you forced the young lady out?" He deliberately emphasized the strong word, and his eyes fell on Xi'er.

"Return to the master." Xi'er knocked her head on the ground and said, "It's Xi'er who likes to play and sees that the lady is bored, so she found two sets of men's clothes and bought a few guards to take the lady out. The sentence is true, please punish the master."

Shen Yanlang looked at his daughter with a sullen face, and said, "Is this the case?"

"No!" Meng Li looked indifferent, "It's none of Xi'er's business, it's me..."

"No, it's all the servant's fault!" Xi'er kowtowed continuously, and with the sound of bangs, she continued to say to the young lady: "Miss, the servant should have been trafficked to a brothel, if the young lady hadn't appeared, The servant can no longer live so well until today. No matter how others say bad things about the lady, the servant always thinks that the lady is kind-hearted. Following the lady is the blessing that the servant has cultivated in this life, and it is not in vain to go back to the world. The servant knows The young lady loves the servant, but today, the young lady must not be troubled by the servant, it is all the fault of the servant, master, please punish the servant!" As she said, Xi'er burst into tears.

When Mengli heard this, she was so angry that she pointed at the crying person and scolded: "Who do you think you are? This miss will love you? It was my idea to leave the house, so naturally there is this miss Take it upon yourself, but you still need someone of low status like you to intercede for this lady? You are smart!" Xi'er was stunned by the scolding of the lady.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the position on the left, "It's like a deep love between master and servant." Erniang sighed helplessly, and then said: "I'm talking about Mengli, not Erniang, I'm talking about you , now everyone knows about your troubles, and you still dare to run out, no wonder the emperor is angry and blames the master, eh..."

"I don't need you to remind me, Erniang, I will take care of everything! Erniang has so many things to worry about, so she doesn't need to take care of me." Mengli glanced at Erniang, without any hesitation. Say it bluntly.

After hearing Mengli's words, Erniang's mouth twitched a little, she stared fiercely at Mengli, and took a deep breath: "You..."

"Li'er, you can't be so rude!" Seeing the situation, the mother immediately scolded her daughter: "Apologize to Erniang."

"I won't apologize for what I did wrong." Meng Li curled her lips in disbelief, and then looked at the prime minister's father, "It's up to father to say whether to beat or punish, this matter has nothing to do with Xi'er!"

The prime minister's face was livid, and he stood up abruptly, as if he was about to come up with family law again, a voice that shocked Shen's residence sounded: "The imperial decree has arrived..."

Immediately afterwards, I saw a father-in-law leading more than a dozen soldiers into the palace, and walked straight into the hall. Seeing the imperial edict was like seeing the emperor.

Last time it was the Queen Mother's decree to keep her from being beaten, and this time it was the imperial decree to let her escape the family law. It seems that she and this decree are really destined, but the emperor's decree must be found by the imperial decree. He settled the score, Meng Li raised her eyebrows, who cares about her, anyway, the emperor wouldn't be so stingy that he just wanted her head like this, so he knelt down to accept the order with a posture of being overwhelmed.

The eunuch Xuanzhi stood on the main seat, and when he saw the words on the imperial edict, he calmed down from his shock, and read in a sharp voice: "By God, the emperor ordered that Shen Mengli, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen, was seventeen years old and canonized as a concubine. There must be no mistakes in the concubine ceremony in the future, so please!"

After all the people knelt down to hear the imperial decree, their hearts were shocked and they were all dumbfounded. They wondered if what they had heard was wrong. What the imperial decree said just now was...

"My lord, accept the order." Seeing that Prime Minister Shen hadn't moved, the father-in-law who announced the order urged in a sharp voice.

"My lord, thank you for your grace, long live my emperor!" Shen Yanlang raised his hands to accept the order in great shock, but he couldn't help but feel that the imperial edict was as heavy as a thousand catties.

Eunuch Xuan Zhi also showed a smile in shock, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Shen, congratulations to Miss Shen."

No matter how shocked he was, Shen Yanlang thanked the father-in-law with his fists cupped, and called the housekeeper to take him to the side hall to entertain him, but the eunuch waved his hand: "Our family has to go back to the palace, Prime Minister Shen, and the emperor asked our family to tell him Eight words, if there is a mistake, the consequences will be at your own risk." After speaking, he strode away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everyone in the mansion stood up one after another, only Meng Li was still kneeling on the ground dumbfounded, she seemed to have not recovered from the shock, what is going on?Doesn't the emperor hate himself?If she doesn't enter the palace, won't she be able to fulfill him and Yun Xi?He can still make the person he likes a concubine, but... he actually ordered her to be a concubine?

This is really scarier than the punishment of having her head!
If you make a mistake, you will be responsible for the consequences, this is simply for her to hear!If she won't refuse, she must be allowed to enter the palace. Is he trying to take revenge on himself in such a naive way?
You are ruthless enough!It's a thousand times better than taking her head!
Shen Mengli walked towards Liuliyuan, Mengli didn't say a word all the way, but tightly clenched her small fists, holding a resentment in her heart, she clearly hated her, but also made an order to make her a concubine, if she If you refuse, you will be at your own risk?She had to admit that she couldn't joke about the lives of the Shen family this time. After all, she knew very well that since ancient times, emperors were ruthless and could kill their own brothers for the sake of the throne, so naturally they would not take the emperor's relatives seriously. If it was true She will definitely blame herself to death for what she has done to the whole Shen family, so this time, she cannot refuse...

Mengli finally sighed, and turned her eyes to Xi'er beside her.

Xi'er followed the young lady, not daring to make a sound, and only when the young lady looked at her, she cautiously said, "Miss..." It stands to reason that she would jump up excitedly when she heard that the emperor wanted to make her a concubine, why? Looking at her today, she looked worried, Xi'er didn't think too much, and said with a smile: "Miss finally waited until today, this servant is really happy for Miss."
