Chapter 38: Overboard
Concubine Qiong handed the jade bowl with fish food to the palace maid and blocked Yuan Diyi's way. "I entered the palace early in the morning to charm the emperor, and I was born with a fox face, but I am very good at seducing men. I know Yun Yang has taken a fancy to you, but the Song family will not allow that kind of lowly woman of unknown origin to enter the door. ”
Yuan Diyi smiled, revealing a mouthful of good-looking shell teeth, "I'm in a very bad mood today, are you sure you want to talk to me today?"
Concubine Qiong said disdainfully, "I gave the queen a little face yesterday, so I didn't deal with you." Because there are unhealthy tendencies in your palace, and the Nanban women don't know how to check the points, and if you stay with the emperor sooner or later, it will bring disaster to the country and the people. A few eunuchs appeared behind Yuan Diyi blocking her retreat, and Concubine Qiong was a little proud, "I'll see how you beg me for a while." ”
She had already arranged it, and she would stop her mouth for a while, and this time no one would come out to save her.
Yuan Diyi said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that the concubine will ask me for a while, have you forgotten what the queen mentioned to you yesterday? The emperor said that the palace can't be disrespectful to me." ”
Concubine Qiong said contemptuously, "My brother and nephew laid this half of the country for the emperor's birth and death, what are you, the adoptive mother of a nine-grade sesame petty official, if you don't have your foxy face, do you think the emperor will still favor you." ”
Yuan Diyi was impatient, "If it were usual, I might tease you a few more words." Take something she cares about to stimulate her, she still likes to see this feminine seven-hole smoke, "But because of your Song family, I'm not in the mood." She saw two little palace maids passing by, but she wanted to run away in a hurry because she was afraid of something, Yuan Diyi shouted, "Niangniang, I have nothing to do with the emperor, please believe me, don't push me into the water." ”
She grabbed Concubine Qiong's clothes and pulled her out of the pool, which suddenly caused a huge splash, startling the carp in the water to wagging its tail and dodging.
The eunuchs on the Jiuqu Bridge are not water-sensitive, and the palace maids can only shout for help. In this chaotic scene, Yuan Diyi saw the palace maid who followed Yang Zhaorong yesterday sneakily coming out from behind the rockery with her skirt, thinking that no one had seen it and ran in a certain direction.
Although the pool looks shallow, in fact, even if a man with a height of seven feet stands upright, his feet can't step on the bottom of the pool, Qiong Guifei struggled, Yuan Diyi dived into the water to pull her clothes, pressed her head down, and always let go of her hand when Qiong Guifei was about to feel that she was out of breath and let her swim out of the water, let her take two breaths and continue to pull her under the pool to let her experience the discomfort of drowning. Concubine Qiong's hair bun had been scattered, and all the expensive jewelry had sunk to the bottom of the pool.
The long hair floated on the water, almost covering her vision, and the ten fingers covered with Kodan scratched in horror, and her feet kicked indiscriminately, Yuan Diyi easily pressed her hands and feet, and she saw Yuan Diyi's face with a high-spirited smile, as if she was watching her float and sink like this, and it would take a few times to lose her breath.
The palace maid's shouts alarmed the guards, and three of them went into the water to save people.
Yuan Diyi pulled Qiong Guifei up, pulled her hair and whispered in her ear, "This time let's play here first, let's play next time, but if you can't play me next time, I should play you to death." Concubine Qiong was frightened, and she couldn't tell if it was because the water in the pool was too cold, which made her tremble, or because of Emperor Yuan.
The guards swam over, Yuan Diyi smiled, changed her panicked expression, and asked people to pull her up. Yuan Diyi and Qiong Guifei fell into the water, both of them were extremely favored people around the emperor, no one dared to hide it, and soon someone went to report to the emperor.
Not only did the Queen Mother and the Queen come, but even Feng Michu and Song Chao, who stayed in the palace to discuss matters after the next dynasty, also came.
"What's going on!" the Queen Mother said majestically.
Feng Michu took off his coat and put it on Yuan Diyi's body, Song Chao also took off his clothes to cover Concubine Qiong, and the queen asked people to ask the imperial doctor, saying, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, it's better to wait for the two of them to change their clothes and ask again." ”
Yuan Diyi cried like rain, and the queen took a handkerchief to wipe her, but she couldn't stop it, and said with grievances, "The emperor and the queen mother love me very much, which is a blessing for me from three lives, but the emperor is blessed, although I know that there are many concubines in the palace who are jealous and hateful because of this, but I never expected that it would be so strict that it would lead to death." Please also ask the emperor and the queen mother not to be so good to the emperor in the future. ”
The Queen Mother said inexplicably, "What are you talking about, what do you mean to bring you death, is there anyone in the palace who dares to harm you?" ”
Concubine Qiong's palace maid went to help her master, that Qiong Guifei's legs were weak and she was still in shock, but when she heard Yuan Diyi say this, she pushed the palace maid away and staggered to the emperor, "Queen Mother, don't listen to this slut, she reversed right and wrong, she pushed the concubine down, and wanted to drown the concubine." ”
Yuan Diyi cried, "Concubine Qiong has always disliked me, and this is not the first time she has hurt me. I just said a few words to Yu Meiren yesterday, but I didn't expect her to let the palace maid and eunuch paint my face today, I resisted desperately, she saw that she couldn't succeed and pushed me down the pool, and I was panicked for a moment before pulling Concubine Qiong down. ”
The fat powder on Concubine Qiong's face was all gone, revealing a pale face, her eyebrows were slender, and she pulled the emperor's dragon robe and said, "Your Majesty, this slut is different, don't be charmed by her, her femme fatale concubine almost died at her hands, she was afraid that the emperor would investigate her for murdering the concubine, so she made quibbles." ”
Song Chao said, "Your Majesty, although my sister is rude, she is not so vicious as to take people's lives. ”
The queen said, "The emperor punished Concubine Qiong for Yu Meiren before, and since then, Concubine Qiong has often gone to trouble Yu Meiren. Yesterday, the palace maid next to Yu Meiren came to my palace and said that Concubine Qiong had found a mistake and asked Yu Meiren to kneel. Thanks to Miss Yuan and Pingle, otherwise the concubine would have rushed over and would have been too late. ”
Concubine Qiong shook her head, "Your Majesty, the Empress and Emperor Yuan are in collusion, and the Empress is a stone." ”
The emperor was annoyed by their quarrel, so he asked the palace maid beside Concubine Qiong to come forward and reply, but the palace maid did not dare to raise her head against the ground.
The Queen Mother said solemnly, "Do you dare not answer when the emperor asks you, did Concubine Qiong make it difficult for Yu Meiren yesterday, and did she ask you to draw Miss Huayuan's face today!"
The palace maid still didn't say a word.
The Queen Mother spoke, "What a loyal protector, pull down and beat her until she says it." When the skin was opened, the flesh was open, and if her mouth was still hard, she cut off her tongue. ”
As soon as the palace maid heard that she was going to be punished, she recruited 1510.
The emperor frowned and pulled Concubine Qiong's hand away. Seeing that there were two little palace maids hiding not far away, he asked Zhang Nian to summon him, and when he asked, he said that he heard Yuan Diyi shouting to ask Concubine Qiong not to push her down the pool.
Concubine Qiong wanted to argue, "Your Majesty, listen to me." ”
