pungent peasant girl

Chapter 389 Punishment
Concubine Yue Gui just returned to Ling'an Palace, she didn't even serve breakfast.

Outside, Aunt Li came over with a bad face.

"Miss, it's not good."

"what's up?"

"The eunuch from the Qinzheng Hall outside came over and said that he asked the empress to go to the Qinzheng Hall for a while, and the emperor let the empress go there."

"What?" Concubine Yue frowned, "I just came back, could it be that in such a short time? Has Su Meiru filed a complaint?"

"I don't know, my maid, what are you going to do?"

Concubine Yue's mood is very complicated.

The disgust for Su Meiru, the disappointment for the emperor, and the fear that comes with thinking of He Xin's face.

She didn't know how high the status of Su Meiru's face was in the eyes of the emperor.

"Miss."

"Aunt Li, how about this, you ask Peihuan and Ben Gong to go to Qinzheng Palace, and you go and find Qian Yan. Cough, cough cough—"

"Yes, the servant will go. But, empress, you may be really sick."

"Come back and talk about it."

Concubine Yue called Peihuan, her maid, and followed the eunuchs from Qinzheng Hall to Qinzheng Hall.

In the Palace of Qinzheng, the emperor was still wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair and frowning, Su Meiru was standing on the side of the imperial case, with faint red eye circles.

She clutched the handkerchief and twitched it.

"Concubine Yue has arrived, Your Majesty."

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

Hearing the sound, the emperor turned his head sideways, looked at Concubine Yue, and said angrily: "Concubine, you came very quickly."

Concubine Yue lowered her head, "The emperor called the concubine to come, how can the concubine be unhappy?"

"Hmph, then it's not good for you to stay in your Ling'an Palace early in the morning, what are you doing in Chengqian Palace!" The emperor asked in a questioning tone.

Concubine Yue Gui paused, "The concubine is just going to see the emperor."

"Nonsense, you know very well that I have gone to court, if you want to see me, you can come to Qinzheng Palace, what are you going to Chengqian Palace for?"

The emperor's voice was very unpleasant.

Concubine Yue is unwilling in her heart.

Sure enough, the emperor's thoughts are all on that Su Meiru.

She didn't know where the courage came from, "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is for the ministers and concubines to go to Chengqian Palace, it's not a big deal. Why did the emperor ask the ministers and concubines to question them?"

"You can go to Chengqian Palace, but after you went in, what did you do!" The emperor glared at Concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue Gui sneered, "The concubine taught a court lady a lesson, because this maid is really out of manners. Your Majesty, do you know that the court maids in the palace only have three days to learn the rules. But Su Mei of Chengqian Palace Ru, half a month has passed and you still don’t understand the etiquette, of course it’s not right.”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor stood up and moved closer to Su Meiru, "Meiru, she is from Chengqian Palace, not from the harem, so it's not your turn to teach her a lesson! Even if you want to teach her a lesson, you can tell her." That's all, why beat someone?"

"The concubine beat her because she didn't pay much attention to the palace. Your majesty, the concubine is the concubine of today, and the rank and order are orderly. Is this reason wrong?"

"Then why did you beat her like this!"

"What? The concubine only slapped me once!"

"Is this just a slap in the face?" The emperor pulled Su Meiru's arm, and there were several bruise marks on the snow-white wrist.

"This is—" Concubine Yue Gui was startled, "This, this has nothing to do with concubines!"

"Concubine, how dare you do it or not? Aren't these all your masterpieces?"

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine really only slapped me once."

"Then what is this?" The emperor looked at Concubine Yue angrily, "Yuezhi, what's wrong with you recently? Why are you disappointing me more and more?"

"No, I really don't have any concubines, these injuries have nothing to do with my concubines." Yue Guifei exclaimed, and then looked at Su Meiru, "Su Meiru, tell me, who beat you? "

Su Meiru's expression was timid, "Ma'am, it's you."

"Bengong——you are simply talking nonsense! I just slapped you in the face, and you actually planted the blame for these injuries!"

"No maidservant—" Su Meiru sobbed again, "After the imperial concubine slapped the maidservant across the face, she let the maidservant out of the palace, but the maidservant refused, empress, empress, she beat the maidservant with a cane."

"I didn't!" Concubine Yue Gui felt frantic, "Aunt Li can testify, but my concubine didn't!"

The emperor's eyes were full of irritability, "Concubine, look at you, what you look like now, you are simply crazy!"

Concubine Yue Gui was about to cry, "I really don't have any concubines."

"Yuezhi, Yuezhi, everyone in Chengqian Palace saw it, and you were the only one who went in. Didn't you, Meiru, beat herself up? This is ridiculous. How did you become like this these two days?"

"Your majesty, it's really not, you listen to the concubine's explanation, the concubine doesn't have one—"

"Enough is enough, I don't want to hear any more, you go back to Ling'an Palace, shut your door and think about it for seven days, during these seven days, don't take a step further from Ling'an Palace."

"emperor--"

"Your Majesty." The boss stepped into the door.

The emperor passed Yue Guifei and looked at the boss, "Why did you come in?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Yihuan has arrived."

Hearing the sound, the emperor frowned, he subconsciously glanced at Su Meiru first, "It's peach blossom."

Su Meiru nodded obediently, "Since Princess Yihuan is here, should the slave not come here anymore, the slave should leave first."

"No, it's okay for you to be here. Go ahead and ask Taohua to come in."

Meng Qianyan approached the Palace of Qinzheng, the emperor's expression eased a lot, Meng Qianyan bowed politely first, "I will see my father and my mother."

"Get up, Qianyan." Yue Guifei said, looking at her burningly.

At this moment, she is her hope.

Meng Qianyan straightened up and looked towards the emperor.

The emperor said lightly: "Why did you come into the palace?"

"Father, is it okay for the sons to come to the palace to take a look? Father the emperor said, I hope the sons will come and see more."

The emperor nodded and smiled slightly, "That's right, I did say so. It's just that you came by such a coincidence, I really can't help but think that you are here to intercede with the noble concubine."

"Intercede?" Meng Qianyan frowned, with a strange expression, "What is there to intercede? Did the concubine do something wrong?"

"Your concubine mother, she ran to Chengqian Palace and beat the maid Meiru for no reason."

"Oh. Then what?"

"Then? No. Then, I think it's outrageous for the noble concubine to behave like this. I want to give her a little punishment and let her contemplate behind closed doors for a few days."

Speaking of this, Meng Qianyan deliberately widened his eyes, "Closing your mistakes behind closed doors?"

"Correct."

"So serious? Father, aren't you joking with your son? You just beat up a court lady, and the mother and concubine will have to contemplate behind closed doors. Now, if you drive away a court lady, doesn't it mean that the mother and concubine don't have to be a noble concubine anymore?"
