The courtiers were worried that His Majesty would behave inappropriately because of the concubine, and then the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet happened, and the excerpts of the Yushitai poured into the Tianqing Palace like tired birds returning to their nests.

Qi Zongwen had a headache.

But Yushi can't be convicted for his words, even if he can't wait to clean up these people who have no eyes, he can't.

There are many things that the Lord of the world cannot do.

But he's not a good person, let the Zhen Ji Division go to check the foundation of the imperial history, which is an official in the court, there are few completely clean ones, the heavy ones accept bribes, form a party for personal gain, the light ones indulge in relatives, and the family house is restless, there are mistakes, find out a few of the most powerful ones, let people stab them to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let him go home and think about the past.

Zhao Hongan said to His Majesty in the court, "The imperial history supervises hundreds of officials, and when they hear the wind, they speak out, and your Majesty can't be guilty one after another because the imperial history's advice is not good, it is really not the Ming Jun's doing." ”

"Oh?" Qi Zongwen asked Chang Yunchu by name, "Tell Zhao Xianggong why the Imperial Historians are guilty?"

Chang Yunchu came out of the ranks, counting them one by one, Lord Cao's son drank wine and killed a little guy on Flower Street, Lord Cao made a mistake for his son, pinched the little guy's family and sent it to Northern Xinjiang, Lord Yu took a new concubine a year ago, and the concubine's brother borrowed the prestige of Lord Yu to put money outside, but within a year, the bitter lord sued the criminal department, and his actions can be seen to be ruthless and vicious.

Lord Cheng's family is fine, but Master Cheng himself has a bad character, and he coerced a beautiful student to act as a fake phoenix in Guozijian, and made the student vomit three liters of blood at home, and he still lingers on the sickbed.

"Zhao Xiang, what do you mean, do you force Lord Cao to use his power for personal gain, force Lord Yu to take concubines and connive, or do I force Master Cheng to do that shameless thing?" Qi Zongwen asked.

"The imperial history supervises the hundred officials, it doesn't mean that he can transcend the hundred officials, and he will not be punished for doing evil, the imperial history has admonished, I listen, the fault of the imperial history, I can't endure it. Qi Zongwen said, "I know, it is too difficult to expect you not to see others only when the crow stands on the coal pile. ”

"But we still have to pretend that we don't. ”

"Otherwise, let people look at this full house, and talk about others who come to call a righteous and awe-inspiring person, respecting the law of etiquette, doing the right way, standing up to the sky and the earth, but in fact, when he turns around, he doesn't even wear his underwear. ”

The ministers of the court who said this were red-faced.

Qin Yunyi went to the cold palace one day, when the first emperor, the cold palace was still lively, at most there were more than 20 people living in the palace, all of them were sent in by Concubine Li, after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the queen felt that there was such a group of people in the harem who were unlucky, and they were all packed and sent to the nunnery outside the capital, and now only Xiao Meiren lives in the cold palace.

It was really deserted, silent and silent.

Xiao Meiren was still dressed up on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, her hair was loose, her makeup was spent, and the dried blood stains were still left on her face, but she seemed to be unconscious, and the palace maid of the cold palace explained uneasily, "The slave maid said that she wanted to serve Xiao Meiren to change her clothes, but she was unwilling, and the slave maid was not good at forcing her to change for her." "The palace maid of the cold palace is the most unpromising, where is there patience to take care of her,

If you can deliver meals on time, just empty the toilet.

Miaoqing protected Qin Yunyi, "Niangniang, let's not get too close." ”

"Nothing. Qin Yunyi said, she paced in front of Xiao Meiren, Xiao Meiren raised her eyes and saw her, she seemed to be alive, and got up and made an extremely exaggerated salute. "Say hello to the concubine. ”

"Why are you doing this?" Qin Yunyi sighed lightly.

Xiao Meiren fell to the ground and didn't look up for a long time.

"You weren't like me on the first day, you knew it from the day you entered the palace. But Your Majesty doesn't like to find a substitute, you have been in the palace for so many years, and the number of times you have served Your Majesty is only a handful, even if you are dull, you should also understand the secret. ”

"Why did you go up again this time?"

"Niangniang is the person on the tip of His Majesty's heart, how can I understand the hearts of our people?" Xiao Meiren laughed sadly, stopped kneeling, and changed to a sitting position, "Niangniang has never experienced the cold of the long night, nor has she experienced the helplessness of being alone." ”

"Why should I go to the top of my game?"

"Because I don't want to live like that again? I don't want to look in the mirror and see myself getting old day after day. Xiao Meiren glared at Qin Yunyi, "I'm not worse than you, it's just that I met Your Majesty for a shorter time than you, and they are all raised by my mother's father, who wants to be like whom?"

"If I had seen Your Majesty for a long time, it would have been you now, like me. ”

"I can't say for sure. Qin Yunyi said, "Maybe it's another one, that is, I am called like you." ”

"But I shouldn't be like you, putting myself in the cold palace. Qin Yunyi said, "No matter how difficult the days are, there is always a way to have fun." ”

"It's easy to say. Xiao Meiren smiled, "Concubine Niangniang, how difficult it was that day, everyone had to be boiled dry, boiled into scum, and couldn't be relieved." ”

"Either you die or you go mad, so that you can be unconscious and have no more pain. ”

"I didn't want to die, and I didn't want to go crazy, so I took a gamble, and if I lost, there was nothing to say. Xiao Meiren closed her eyes. "This is my life. ”

"The concubine came today, whether she is ridiculing me, or if she wants to know something else, I'm afraid she will return empty-handed. ”

"Bo, there are three results, the first one wins, you are in the eyes of His Majesty, and you will always think of you every other day in the future. ”

"The second result is neither to lose nor to win, maintain the status quo, you are still your little beauty, mixed with the days you feel are difficult, looking forward to a turnaround one day. ”

"The third result is to lose, to be rejected by His Majesty, and there is no hope after that. Qin Yunyi looked at her and said, "I think you didn't expect that the result of losing would be so miserable at first, after all, Your Majesty is a very gentle person, and he has never treated the harem harem harshly, and he doesn't like it, so he doesn't want to see it." ”

"With these three possibilities, it's not surprising that you would choose Boyi. Qin Yunyi said, "But you're wrong, this matter was not for you to give you a chance from the beginning, but someone pushed you to die." ”

"There are simply three possibilities, only one outcome. ”

"If you think about it, you can see if what I'm talking about is right. Qin Yunyi said, she squatted down to cut Xiao Meiren's hair, "You think slowly, don't worry." ”

Qin Yunyi turned around and left.

After walking in the cold palace, Miao Qing asked puzzledly. "Niangniang didn't come to the cold palace to ask her who was the person who instigated her behind her back, why didn't she ask again. ”

"Don't ask. Qin Yunyi said, "If there is really someone behind it, there will definitely be a next time, and the fox's tail will always be hidden." ”

"Xiao Meiren's clothes, it's not something she can make as a beauty, there are only seven or eight people in this palace, and the embroidery will take several days, it would be strange if no one instigated it behind. ”

Miao Qing said. "I really don't know who deliberately wanted to do this to embarrass the mother. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty punished him severely, otherwise it is conceivable that there will be more such things in the future. ”

"Your Majesty also has a headache about this. Qin Yunyi smiled bitterly and said, "One after another, I am already standing on the cusp of the storm, and the more Your Majesty protects me, the more fierce they will be." ”

"The important ministers of the court, don't go to the world, just stare at His Majesty's harem and don't know what's going on?" Miaoqing said, she muttered in a low voice, "Let's just say that I am afraid of Niangniang, and Niangniang now has no prince by her side, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Qin Yunyi originally came on foot, but halfway through the journey, he met the concubine's chariot, and the concubine sat on the chariot and saluted Qin Yunyi, "Niangniang, this is from the cold palace?"

"Xiao Meiren is really pitiful, this woman is a person who pleases herself, she just dresses herself up with all her heart, but she suffers such a flying disaster, is Niangniang unbearable and deliberately went to see?"

Qin Yunyi looked at her directly, although she was standing below, her momentum was not weak at all, and she didn't answer after listening to her, she just turned her head and asked Miaoqing, "After the concubine entered the palace, did anyone ever teach her the rules?"

"I haven't heard that I have deliberately taught, but when the concubine was in the Chufang Palace, the aunt of the show girl was taught, and everything that should be taught was taught. Miaoqing replied.

"Go back to the queen's mother, let her find another to teach the concubine, the palace looks, she still hasn't learned the rules in place. After Qin Yunyi finished speaking, he left.

The concubine was a little puzzled after seeing her leave, and only spit on her, pretending to be fake.

"If I am a mother, I should go down to chase after the concubine at this time to admit my mistake, otherwise Your Majesty will soon know that the concubine is disrespectful to the concubine, and sit on the chariot and salute. Cui Jieyu didn't know where it came from, and said leisurely after meeting the concubine.

"Who are you?" the concubine squinted and asked, there are too many people in the harem, those who have served His Majesty during this period, or those who have a higher rank than her, she can still be familiar, as for those who have no name in front of His Majesty all the year round, she has not had time to remember.

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's an important thing, the concubine is about to disappear. Cui Jieyu reminded that she came with Qin Yunyi, and seeing her enter the cold palace and come out, she didn't know what she said to Xiao Meiren.

I'll ask another day.

Then I bumped into the wit of the concubine and the concubine, she saw it from a distance, and the malice in the eyes of the concubine towards the concubine was rare, she was a woman from northern Xinjiang, helpless in the palace, just because of His Majesty's favor, she dared to offend the concubine in person.

Yes, as long as you have the favor of Your Majesty, you dare not do anything.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, so Cui Jieyu saw that the concubine was unconscious, so she came out to remind her.

The concubine is smart, and in an instant she wants to understand what Cui Jieyu means, yes, she is a concubine, it is disrespectful to bow to the concubine, the concubine did not have a seizure on the spot, and then His Majesty will feel sorry for her and punish herself, and she is still indefensible.

She stepped down, but did not chase after the concubine, but turned around, knelt down in the direction where the concubine left, and said loudly, "The concubine is disrespectful to the concubine, please punish the concubine." With that, he slammed it to the ground.

The kowtow sound was loud and loud, which made people feel frightened.

Cui Jieyu took a step back in shock, and sighed after a while, the concubine is really a ruthless character, it was originally a meeting between the two parties, and no one else was present, it is normal for the concubine to punish people in the eyes of outsiders, who would have thought that the concubine directed and acted by herself. "Niangniang knows in her heart that I have trespassed. ”

"You, come to me in a few days. The concubine said without squinting, and continued to shout, "The concubine is disrespectful to the concubine, please punish the concubine." ”

After only three knocks, his forehead turned red, as if blood was oozing.

Cui Jieyu was about to say goodbye and returned to remind her, "Niangniang will stop at the point, the concubine's temperament, she doesn't care about a little offense, but if she really does it in front of her, she will not be merciful." ”
