Harem Seizure

Chapter 74

In the huge Yi'an Palace, the aura was extremely low.All the concubines lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't exist. From the corner of their eyes, they looked at the angry queen mother and the delicate and pitiful nobleman.There was a little gloating expression on his face, but he didn't know whether it was because the queen mother was angry or because nobleman Rou was frustrated.

At first, I thought that nobleman Rou would not look so delicate and pitiful if he put on a normal curvy dress obediently. It was who bullied her in Fengyang Palace just now, so pitiful and wronged, tears were shed enough to wet the ground of Yi'an Palace.Look at this appearance, if any elder sees it, I'm afraid they will feel pity.This pear blossom brings rain, how pity is needed.

But the queen mother is not a gentleman, nor is she a soft-hearted mother with a compassionate heart and a kind face.Rougui's appearance, instead of making the Queen Mother feel pity and love, looked at her even more disgusted, so angry that the Queen Mother Chu wanted to slap her face directly.

In fact, when the Empress Dowager Chu saw this noble man for the first time, she still had a bit of love for her.But when she watched her twist and dance that night, the queen mother was full of disgust for her.The Empress Dowager Chu originally thought that this noble man looked like her niece, and her niece was not in good health.If she often serves Emperor Li, her body will not be able to bear it.And this Rougui is different, if he can receive his subordinates, it will also be a great help to his niece.But after knowing her nature and behavior, the queen mother was disgusted by her previous thoughts. How is this normal?If he liked this woman, wouldn't the emperor be more rude to him?
The Empress Dowager Chu, who has harbored resentment and disgust towards Rougui since that day, thought she would understand a little bit today.After all, she is also a woman who waits for bedtime, and she also has servants to teach and help her, so it should be better.But what I never expected was that today, this noble man would be ashamed of himself in this way.

For the first time, the queen mother felt that it was not a good thing to have power.Originally, the taste of mastering the palace power really made the Empress Dowager Chu intoxicated.When Empress Dowager Chu followed the first emperor before, her status was all over the place, and her original spouse, Empress Baili, was on her head, and she hadn't dealt with palace affairs for a whole day.After Emperor Li ascended the throne, someone even asked for an order, asking Li Huang to respect the last emperor's last edict, and asking the queen mother to go to the temple to pray for Da Li.It was not easy to come back, and it happened that the queen and imperial concubine were pregnant, so he could take the opportunity to seize the power.And it didn't take long for Concubine Gao to have this incident again, Concubine Gao didn't care about it, leaving only Concubine Xia and Concubine Qi who had no status, both of them still had to report to herself.At first, the Empress Dowager thought the taste was very good.

But when the Queen Mother didn't expect, the phoenix seal has been unstable since it was in her hands.From knowing what happened to her niece Concubine Lian, to the fact that the concubine Xian concubine harmed by the Meng family almost died of a miscarriage.Then when the eldest prince fell into the water and Yue'er was almost beaten and punished, these chaotic things really made the Queen Mother seem a little powerless.

But now this nobleman who appeared, really wants to vent all the resentment accumulated by the queen mother on nobleman Rou.

Today, when Empress Yao led concubines of sufficient rank to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager was very happy.After all, she is very excited that her niece can visit her every day and stay by her side.But when the Empress Dowager saw Empress Yao walking in with a stick of concubines, the Empress Dowager's expression became displeased.Are these concubines real today?Why are you all so sullen?The queen mother herself thought that it was all the concubines who made a face for her, and the queen mother was very displeased. When the concubines greeted her, the queen mother just hummed lightly and did not cry out.

When all the concubines kept saluting for almost a cup of tea, many concubines couldn't hold on anymore.The three pregnant women including Shao Yunyan didn't have to come to pay their respects every day, and now they don't even need to salute.She didn't suffer this kind of crime, and of course the Empress Dowager's niece, Bi Chongrong, didn't need to salute.

Many of these pampered concubines couldn't hold back anymore, and they were all on the verge of falling.In particular, this noble man was the first to be unable to hold on, and knelt down on the ground, blinking his eyes with aggrieved eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother softly and weakly.There is a kind of grievance, let alone talk to anyone, the corner of the mouth curled up, and said with a crying voice: "The Empress Dowager... Youxuan... there is something wrong, please point it out, the Empress Dowager." Youxuan sniffled , although the tone was weak, but the Queen Mother did not feel so comfortable listening to it, but it seemed to be a question.

The queen mother was originally full of anger, but she was worried that there would be no place to get angry. The noble man rushed forward bravely to the front of the queen mother's furious pursuit, and kept moving forward against the queen mother's anger.

The queen mother looked at the concubines and compared them, she was better than the girls from her own country, she nodded and told them all to sit down.When looking at Rougui, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.The Empress Dowager Chu smiled, looked up and down at the soft nobleman with a weak face, and sneered coldly: "Who is the Aijia? It turned out to be Princess Youxuan, and now the nobleman Rou. This change is really hard to be noticed by the Aijia, why not? You used to be dressed in white? The Ai family also understands that white is valued and valued in your nation, and even wedding banquets are white. But this is in Li country, and I don’t understand the rules there. If you are willing to wear white, like today In this way, it is enough to wear a curvy suit on the outside. From now on, don’t wear your Jade Dragon Kingdom clothes all day long, it’s transparent, do you want all the guards in the palace to see clearly your soft and noble skin? "

"Empress Dowager, those are the best clothes in our clan. Ordinary people can't wear them... Youxuan... still like that kind of clothes... Li Guo's clothes are too thick... Your Majesty, can you make them for Youxuan? Some thin clothes with light gauze? Our Jade Dragon Kingdom also sends ten thousand pieces of light gauze every year, can you give it to Youxuan..." Rougui glanced at the Queen Mother, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and said with blinking eyes.His eyes were full of pleadings, and he was also very wronged, looking at the Queen Mother pitifully.

The queen mother looked at Rougui's expression with disgust like eating flies.This noble man doesn't know what's good or bad.It's only been a day, and it's only been a day since I was favored.This Li Huang is really good at making trouble, but after being favored for a day, how can he be so bold?Since the beginning of the Li kingdom, which concubine would dare to be so bold?Even the queen mother dared not open her mouth to ask for tribute. "Do you know that you are now the concubine of the Li Kingdom, not the princess of your Jade Dragon Kingdom. Why should you use the tribute sent by your Jade Dragon Kingdom for a little nobleman? You also make light gauze and thin clothes? Where is your place?" , warm like spring, much warmer than the climate of Li country. Do you think my clothes are hot in Li country?"

"Really, I don't like our clothes being hot, why don't we wear them at all? It turns out that today I know what it means to be beautiful." Concubine Ping threw out such a sentence lightly, rolled her eyes, and didn't go Look at the gentlemen.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and glared at Concubine Ping. Surprisingly, she didn't reprimand her face to face, but just warned her with her eyes.After receiving the scolding eyes from the queen mother, she bowed her head obediently.

After listening to the queen mother's words, nobleman Rou was already very wronged, but when she heard Concubine Ping's light and slightly humiliating tone, she really wanted to cry to death.Rougui sniffled, bit his lips and looked at the queen mother, and didn't care about crying, but just looked at the queen mother with grievances and teary eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Youxuan didn't... just feel that she misses her country's clothes. Youxuan will leave her hometown soon, and will never return to the place where I was born and raised. I really miss home. If you can give me a suit of clothes, I will think of home when I look at the clothes. Youxuan thinks it is very Satisfy……."

"Homesickness? This lady in the palace doesn't want to be home. If everyone is like you, wouldn't Dali's harem be messed up? Besides, who told you the rules? Before you serve the emperor, Aijia doesn't care about you Self-proclaimed, that’s not about Ai’s family, and it’s not about Ai’s family that’s ashamed. You’ve served the emperor now, you’re one of the emperor’s people, and you still have your name on your lips. Why don’t you understand the rules? Didn't your father and queen educate you?" The queen mother glared at her.What the queen mother said was very reasonable, and every sentence she said was reasonable, but every sentence was pressing.This undoubtedly means that she does not know the rules, has no dignity or inferiority, and has no one to educate her.To put it in a vulgar way, there are people who live but no one raises them.

If these words were heard by ordinary concubines, even a court lady would be ashamed and angry.But Rougui is not an ordinary person, she is the princess of Yulong Kingdom.Although the cultural difference of Yulong Kingdom is the same as that of Dali Kingdom, Princess Youxuan is an exception.The women sent by Yulong Kingdom are all in good order.Either a virtuous and virtuous female role model, or the precious daughter of an important minister in the court, all of them are very good.Why is this princess like this?The queen mother couldn't figure it out.

Rougui didn't understand what the Empress Dowager Chu meant, she felt that her claim was correct.So I blinked a few times, tears rolled out, and my eyelashes were wet. "Empress Dowager...Youxuan knows that her status is low and inferior to other ladies and ladies, but Youxuan is also a princess of another country. She was used to rich clothes and fine food in the past, so she suddenly felt uncomfortable. Empress Dowager...Youxuan is not A person who understands the rules, just learned our rules for more than ten years, and said for a while that he was not used to being in front of the Queen Mother, but Youxuan will work hard to change it. But please don’t say that about Youxuan’s parents, Youxuan’s Parents are right..."

Seeing the aggrieved look on Princess Youxuan Jiao Didi's face, the queen mother couldn't help but feel a little upset, so she stopped going around with the nobleman, and said directly: "The Ai family didn't say anything else, that is, you don't understand the rules. The Ai family also No matter your elder brother is still here, since you have already attended the bed yesterday, then you are my court lady of Dali, and no one has anything to do with you. You still know that you are a princess, don’t you know how to call yourself? Even if you don’t People taught you, you should understand it? Why don’t you know the rules? The dozens of women sent here are much better than you. What is your status? Even if you are the princess of a country, when you arrive in Dali, you In the harem, you should still call yourself a concubine or a concubine honestly. Call yourself a name, don’t say that you are not afraid of your name, it will be known by all the servants in the palace. The Ai family will not believe it, you are a princess, you don’t want your own reputation.”

"Youxuan...no...youxuan always called herself her name when she was at home. Besides, my Jade Dragon Kingdom is monogamous, and even my royal family in Li Kingdom is monogamous. My mother's queen also calls herself like this... And, even though... I'm just a...noble person, I can't...profess...that kind of self-proclaim...and Youxuan has never heard of it." Princess Youxuan was humiliated by the queen mother's words about concubine or concubine, she She felt that the rules of the Li country were too cumbersome, and she almost couldn't bear it.

"That's at your house. If you want to survive in Ai Dali, you have to change your habits. Why can't you? Women are supposed to call themselves like this, but you don't know, and you don't want to?" The Queen Mother suddenly glared. His eyes stared at Rougui, as if he wanted to peel her skin and bones. "Monogamy? The Ai family is ignorant. Why do you still have such rules? The Ai family doesn't even know about it." A different look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, a look that looked like jealousy.Looking at Rougui's expression, he became even more impatient.

Rougui glanced at the Empress Dowager Chu, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but his face became more and more aggrieved, he looked pitifully at the Empress Dowager and said: "Youxuan..."

"Bold..." The queen mother slapped the table fiercely, glaring at the aggrieved nobleman underground.Seeing this scene, a group of concubines immediately lowered their heads, watching to see what exciting things will happen to the queen mother and noble lady Rou.

The Empress Dowager Chu took the lead, and said to Aunt Ding beside her, "Looking at how delicate and soft our nobleman is, the Ai family thinks her body is not bad. Then give her twenty slaps, and then give her the face-changing ointment." Wipe it off. It’s not good for outsiders to know about the rules we teach concubines.” After the Empress Dowager Chu finished speaking, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes. .

"How can you hit someone...how can you hit someone casually? My father, queen, and queen have never hit me, so how can you hit someone?" Rougui kept clamoring, and the real tears that appeared in her eyes this time, she knew She is about to be beaten.

The concubines were slightly surprised when they heard the Queen Mother's face-changing cream.Kan Kan looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a sound.The Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Shao Yunyan and then ordered: "It's Concubine Xian's birthday today. It's not good to see blood. It's not good if you run into Concubine Xian and Long'er in her belly. Shut her mouth for Aijia, Hit again, remember not to bleed."

Aunt Ding, who was beside the Empress Dowager Chu, also grew up with the Empress Dowager. This Aunt Ding has a good kung fu, and the slaps that slap people are what they want, and they are what they want.Those hands are comparable to the punishment guards of the Ministry of Punishment, they are unique skills.

When Aunt Ding let go of Rou Guiren's hair, Rou Guiren's face was swollen, red and purple and translucent, it was already the size of a copper basin, and it looked very scary.

The Empress Dowager Chu gave a ferocious smile, glanced at Rougui and said with a smile: "Do you know my Dali's rules?"

"Concubine...body...knows..." Rougui only felt that her cheeks were swollen, painful and hot, and she had already been beaten into submission.Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly popped out word by word.When the last word was uttered, tears rolled down.But Rougui didn't expect that when the tears slid over the skin of her face, it would hurt very much. She could imagine what she looked like at this time.

The concubines couldn't help laughing at the appearance of nobleman Rou at this time.At this time, her face was very big, and the color changed completely.Coupled with the pitiful and delicate expression, it is no longer delicate and moving, but has become more joyful.

The queen mother looked at nobleman Rou and waved her hand, asking Aunt Ding to take nobleman Rou down to apply the medicine.The queen mother stroked her forehead and rested for a while, then smiled at Shao Yunyan, and said with a gentle expression: "I was in a good mood, but I asked her to mess it up. I really don't know the rules. Concubine Xian, you are a smart person, and you are also a smart person." Don't be as knowledgeable as this lunatic woman, who dares to put it next to the emperor. You don't have to worry about your birthday banquet. The underground servants have already placed it at the Fanghua Terrace The table. The actors are already ready. Although it is still early, the Ai family has already asked them to prepare. And Concubine Qi, there was a panic a few days ago, but your birthday party was over. Fortunately, you It’s not a few days away from Concubine Xian, today Ai’s family ordered the imperial dining room to make two bowls of Quanfushou noodles, you and Concubine Xian will each have a bowl, and then just have fun together.”

"It's my fault that I have to bother the Queen Mother so much for a small birthday banquet. I thank the Queen Mother here." Shao Yunyan leaned over slightly, with a faint smile in her eyes.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's okay... Aijia also likes to be lively, and always wants to do some lively things in the palace."

Shao Yunyan did not continue what the Queen Mother said, but just smiled slightly, sat on her seat, and looked at her embroidered shoes.

Listening to what the Empress Dowager Chu said just now, she kept nodding her head with a grateful smile on her face.But after listening to what was said later, Shao Yunyan gradually felt something was wrong?Why is Concubine Qi involved? Although the Empress Dowager said this, it seemed that she wanted to make fun of Concubine Qi, but would Concubine Qi think so?My own birthday is just a few days away from Concubine Qi's, and Concubine Qi's birthday was forgotten in a hurry, but Emperor Li ordered the imperial dining room to prepare two sumptuous banquets for Concubine Qi. The concubines in her palace had a meal together.Shao Yunyan frowned and thought about it, then opened her eyes with a little sunshine.When looking at Concubine Qi, she really found that her expression was not so natural.

Seeing Concubine Qi like this, Shao Yunyan sighed slightly.Today is her birthday, it's really not peaceful... I don't know what will happen at night?
