Harem Seizure

Chapter 88

Xiangzhi quietly looked at the silent Empress Dowager Chu, secretly blaming herself for being too talkative.How dare you say such a thing.She just remembered the current status of Concubine Lian, but she forgot that there was Empress Dowager Chu behind Concubine Lian.Xiangzhi is very nervous and worried now, worried that if the queen mother leaves her, wouldn't she be miserable?

Thinking of the empress dowager's ruthless methods, Xiangzhi couldn't help but tremble all over.This queen mother is ruthless, whoever offends the queen mother will not have any good fruit to eat.Didn't the concubine Shao Yunyan make a mistake back then and was escorted to the palace road and punished to kneel?The good impression I have given the Queen Mother these days, if it is ruined by her wasting so much time soon?

At this time, Xiangzhi was quickly thinking about countermeasures, how to deal with the anger that the queen mother was about to burst out.At this time, she had already made up her mind. Once the Queen Mother got angry, she would just pretend to be dizzy.It can't be that she fainted, the queen mother should punish herself.

The queen mother looked at Xiangzhi with her head down, but gradually became displeased.Originally, I thought that this Xiangzhi was safe and well-behaved, able to serve herself and make herself comfortable, the Queen Mother was still very satisfied.But I didn't expect her to be an unruly person.And there is no wink, is my niece comparable to the illegitimate daughter of a little general like you?
Although the Empress Dowager Chu already had dissatisfaction in her heart, she still didn't get angry.After the random punishment of Shao Yunyan last time, the queen mother has learned to be good.What to do with the concubine, isn't there a queen?Besides, she is just a little nobleman, and she is also ignorant and ignorant. It is impossible for a queen mother to argue with her.Plainly lowered his status.

The queen mother coughed lightly, glanced at Queen Yao, and said in a gentle voice: "Although the vulgar things in the harem are still reported to Ai's family, but the management of this concubine, the queen should come. Since you are here today, this It's still up to you."

Empress Yao clenched her fists tightly when she heard the queen mother call out her name.She is a queen... She can't manage palace affairs now, but why do she still have to do this offending thing by herself?Empress Yao would not express her dissatisfaction with Queen Mother Chu, she just looked at Yi Xiangzhi, then looked at Queen Mother and said, "Mother Queen Mother, this noble lady doesn't know the rules, and it's because she hasn't taught them well during this period of time. This is the first offence, noble sister, so let's not blame it."

"Queen! The Ai family knows that you are a kind-hearted person, and you are very gentle to your servants. But it is not in such a gentle way! You are the queen, the mother of the country of Li, and you cannot be despised by these people. You. The Ai family believes in you, and you will definitely not be selfish." The Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Empress Yao, and snorted softly.

Empress Yao gritted her teeth, glanced at Xiangzhi who was kneeling underneath, and became even more displeased.How should she handle it?This Xiangzhi is now the emperor's apex, not to mention whether the emperor is acting or acting sincerely, this deal with Xiangzhi will all slap Li Huang's face.As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.Let alone a beloved concubine?

Xiangzhi was also nervous at this time, and her hands were sweating constantly.She didn't know how the queen would punish herself.Just now, I thought that with the queen's intercession, she could avoid punishment, but now it seems that the queen mother doesn't want to let her go.It seems that the empress dowager's desire to protect her weaknesses is very strong.Now Xiangzhi's heart is completely on Queen Yao, hoping that Queen Yao can give her a lighter punishment.

Empress Yao was uncomfortable being watched by Xiangzhi, that pitiful look really disgusted Empress Yao.Empress Yao really couldn't stand this look.So he cleared his throat and said, "Hi nobleman, there are clear rules in the palace rules that low-ranking concubines are not allowed to offend high-ranking concubines. Violators will be dealt with according to the palace rules. Today you offended Concubine Lian, who is two years taller than you." Pin, is the concubine of the fourth rank, you offend her now. According to the palace rules, you will be grounded for six months. But I think you are a first-time offender, and within ten days, I will copy the palace rules a hundred times. Send fifty copies to Concubine Lian as an apology for her crimes. You send the other fifty copies to Fengyang Palace. There must be no mistake... Xigui, are you willing to accept the punishment of this palace?"

Xiangzhi pursed her lips after listening to Empress Yao's words, with deep grievances in her eyes.This palace rule is so thick, if you copy it a hundred times in ten days, don't you have to copy it day and night?Xiangzhi felt dissatisfied, lowered her head aggrievedly, and said softly: "The concubine knows."

Empress Dowager Chu narrowed her eyes, staring at Xiangzhi's face, seeing her aggrieved look, suddenly felt sick.Concubine Xia looked at the Empress Dowager and glanced at Xiangzhi with disgust, and she gloated in her heart.He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said in a sharp voice: "Hey, why is Xigui so wronged? But why are you dissatisfied with the punishment of the Queen's sister? You must know that the Queen's sister is kind enough, don't Xigui think it’s ten days to copy a hundred Can there be fewer palace rules?"

Xiangzhi shook her head quickly when she heard this, disobeying the queen's wishes and ignoring the queen, this crime is not something she, a little nobleman, can bear.Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Concubine Qi's words.

"Sister Xia, you are wrong to say that. I copied the palace rules a hundred times within ten days. Our Li country's palace rules have about tens of thousands of words. A hundred times the palace rules are a million words. On average, nearly [-] words are copied a day. If it is done by one person, it will be difficult. It is possible for her to write it as a ghostwriter. I don’t know if the Queen’s sister received a copy of the palace rules with multiple ghostwriters, wouldn’t she be ignoring the Queen’s sister’s punishment?”

After hearing Concubine Qi's words, Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Concubine Qi suddenly, and said to herself: Very good, Concubine Qi, you are cruel enough.

At this time, Concubine Qi didn't know that Xiangzhi had already missed her, and she was secretly gloating in her heart.Now let's see how the Queen Mother should bypass you.I don't know what kind of mood she will feel when she tastes the evil fruit in the future and it is planted today.

Concubine Qi's words are wonderful.If Xiangzhi finds someone else to write it for her, it won't be a big problem for Baibian Palace Rules.Even if the queen is bothering about this issue, Xiangzhi can say, if you didn't say it, the queen, I can't ask someone to write it for me.Now it blocked Xiangzhi's mouth to cheat.

Shao Yunyan drank a cup of tea and glanced at Concubine Qi.He couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and glanced at Concubine Gao without any trace.They looked at each other with a smile, then nodded slightly and looked at their embroidered shoes.I laughed in my heart, don't you want to make it smell ugly?The two of you are already in conflict now, maybe it is a car that will be abandoned, and you dare to directly deepen the grievances between you like this, I really don't know if you are stupid or not.

Xiangzhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Concubine Qi resentfully, piercing his fingernails into the palm of his hand fiercely, glanced weakly at Empress Yao, and said with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, the concubine has accepted her punishment."

"Hmph... are you just saying to admit punishment now? It's too late!!" The Empress Dowager Chu snorted softly, looked at her with phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, and said sharply: "The nobleman offends the concubine first, and ignores the queen behind. There are no rules and decency. Then copy the "Gong Regulations" ten times. The "Book of Rites" Aijia looks good, you can copy that book ten times. "Biography of Lie Nu" a hundred times, finished in half a month. Don't go out of the palace to wander around before you finish copying."

Xiangzhi immediately widened his eyes when he heard this, the queen mother's punishment must be too severe.Xiang Zhi was so wronged that she almost fainted, watching the Empress Dowager's eyes glistening with water. "The Empress Dowager..."

"Why? You think there are too few Xigui people?" Concubine Xia raised her eyebrows and smiled sarcastically. Seeing Xiguiren's pale face, she felt relieved.

The Empress Dowager Chu slapped the table hard, glaring at Xiang Zhidao: "What? You still have complaints? Within fifteen days, if you can't finish copying, you can go to the Punishment Department to get forty boards by yourself. Stop copying." The Empress Dowager Chu ruthlessly gave the order of punishment, her eyes seemed to have no emotion.

Xiangzhi suddenly didn't dare to speak, shook his lips, and waved at the queen mother: "The concubine accepts the punishment. It's just... within fifteen days, the concubine will definitely not be able to copy so many words. Empress dowager, what do you think? "

"Can't finish copying? Then fifty boards, after being punished, continue to copy, and leave the palace after copying." The Queen Mother looked at the Queen Mother and laughed lightly, her eyes turned cold.

When Xiang Zhizhu heard this, he was immediately speechless.She just added ten words to one sentence.She also understands now that the empress dowager made it clear that she wanted to send her down.There was some faint grievance and unwillingness in my heart.How can I finish copying these fifteen days?Xiangzhi was a little worried about her future, wouldn't she be beaten to death?Thinking of this, Xiangzhi's flesh couldn't help but tighten, and the marks Li Huang had left on her body for the past few days made her feel violently uncomfortable at this moment.But she didn't dare to faint, let alone pretend to be fainted. If the queen mother made a note, it would not be a matter of copying palace rules.

But due to the experience just now, Xiangzhi dared not say anything more.So he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, kowtowed three heads to the queen mother and continued: "The concubine admits punishment...."

"Okay..." Empress Dowager Chu nodded, then smiled and looked at Xiangzhi and said, "Don't resent Aijia, dear ones. In fact, Aijia is also for your own good. If your father's identity is not guaranteed, you will sit there in the future." What position to go to. What should I do if I don’t know the rules? If you can finish copying, you don’t have to suffer that crime. If you can’t finish copying, don’t worry about the flesh and blood punishment. Dare to hit hard."

The queen mother said that she might not know where she would sit in the future, which gave Xiangzhi confidence.His eyes suddenly lit up.My heart also became itchy.With a different smile on his weak face, he said: "The concubine understands, the concubine understands."

Seeing Xiangzhi's appearance as if he had found a treasure, the concubines felt disdainful in their hearts.This Xiangzhi is really a no-brainer, the queen mother is obviously giving a sweet date with a stick, but she believes it and is so happy.No one is so happy to see someone who is about to be severely punished.

The queen mother held back the ridicule in her heart, smiled softly, and looked at her with squinted eyes: "Well, good boy."

The Empress Dowager Yi'an Palace dispersed, and all the concubines went back to their own palaces.Shao Yunyan was invited by Concubine Gao to go to Xuande Palace, and all the joy in Concubine Gao's eyes was seen by Shao Yunyan along the way.Sister Gao is very strange today.Shao Yunyan didn't think much, but was quietly carried all the way to Xuande Palace.

Returning to the palace, Concubine Gao waved away her servants, then held Shao Yunyan's hand and said, "It's really a relief today! That bitch was punished like this, it's really satisfying."

"Why is Sister Gao so happy today? Xiangzhi was punished, not the one who was punished, why is she so happy. If that one falls down in the future, wouldn't Sister call the imperial physician to prick acupuncture points to stop laughing?" Shao Yunyan looked Looking at her happy look, he couldn't help but jokingly said.

Concubine Gao gave her a blank look, sitting on the concubine's couch with a strong smile on her face, she glanced at her and said, "Yan'er, don't pretend to be confused for your sister, you are beautiful in your heart, aren't you?" Shao Yunyan opened her mouth, and Concubine Gao continued excitedly: "You may have underestimated Meng Xiuqi's heart. What kind of person is that Meng Xiuqi? He is not stupid! His eldest daughter is useless, so he came to Concubine Qi .Now that Xiang is in the top position, whoever kisses who will be able to tell at a glance. Meng Xiuqi is not so stupid that his own daughter does not help, right? "

"Sister, what you said is very true. But... this Xiangzhi is also unlucky. After all, she has served me for a while, and she has some feelings. She was born in a brothel, and her education is not very high. She may not be able to write well. How fast. The "Book of Rites" has more than 9 words, and ten times it is more than 90 words. Plus ten times of "Palace Regulations", and that combined with "Biography of Women", this is really enough for her. I really don't know how she will pay it after half a month." Shao Yunyan pursed her lips and laughed, this kind of punishment is really terrible.She copied it quickly, and she couldn't finish copying these things within half a month.

Concubine Gao Guifei glanced at her with a slight smile, rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's just the two of us, who will spread the word if you take pleasure in others' misfortune? But I admire Xiangzhi then, and I really dare to accept this punishment. I'm afraid I'd rather be imprisoned for half a year than suffer this crime. You're still worried that she won't be able to hand it in, anyway, if she can't hand it in for half a month, you have to be called out." Concubine Gao sneered, and smiled while holding a teacup Standing up, I couldn't help sighing: "I really admire our empress dowager, who came up with this trick. Tell me, if she can't finish copying, how can she continue to copy after being beaten to death?"

After hearing Concubine Gao's words, "Anyway, if you can't hand it in, you have to call it out" Shao Yunyan burst out!He laughed, looked at Concubine Gao who was pursing her lips and said with a smile, "Sister Gao, when did you talk so funny?"

"Hey... Sister, what I said is also the truth, Yan'er, learn more. By the way, guess what the emperor will do today?" Concubine Gao rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of the person behind this... Li Huang.

After hearing Concubine Gao's words, Shao Yunyan also blinked slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.That's right, what will happen to you today, Your Majesty?
