Chapter 9: Humiliation
I don't know if it's too quiet to save the building, or if the silk and bamboo music is too pleasant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info woke up early in the morning to the sound of music.
With such a battle in the East Palace, today should be the crown princess's birthday.
After getting dressed, I went to the window and looked out at the music, and although I couldn't see anything, I still didn't leave the window. What a grand scene it should be for the future queen to celebrate her birthday.
"Has my sister been woken up too?" Xiao Chuan brought breakfast.
"Hmm. It's so lively in front. ā
"Sister likes to be lively?"
"I don't really like it either. ā
"What is that sister envencing?" Xiao Chuan said with a smile.
"You girl, you get up early in the morning and have a sister, why are there so many questions, besides, I don't envy them, but I've never seen the princess celebrate her birthday, so I'm a little curious. ā
"In the fourth year of the founding of the country, the emperor advocated frugality, and a few years ago, there was a great flood in the north of the Yangtze River, which cost so much manpower and material resources. The birth date of the crown princess is far worse than that of Jingguo, if it weren't for the fact that the crown princess is from Jingguo, this battle may not be so big. ā
"Jing Guo ...... "What kind of country is this? It sounds much better than Anguo.
"Sister, let's eat, today is the crown princess's birthday, and even the meal is much better than before. ā
Before I could reply to her words, I heard a series of footsteps in the outer hall of the building.
"Yo, Concubine Niangniang, you are so pure here!" It was a forty or fifty-year-old mother who spoke, and she walked inward while sneering and looking at her surroundings, and the group of maidservants behind her were all blocked at the door.
The crown princess's birthday is a major event in the East Palace, and many people will take advantage of the topic to play or take advantage of the chaos to commit adultery, and some people will be promoted to the rank of knight because of this, and they will lose their power and die. Xiao Chuan and I glanced at each other, and the comer's mind was also guessed seven or eight points. "Mama is the mama of which palace, I don't know what advice I have for coming to Banglou?"
Mama smiled: "The slaves and maids are serving Concubine Li. Today is the crown princess's birthday, from the banquet to the guests, our mother arranged. Originally, this cold palace concubine was not allowed to come back, but our mother is kind-hearted, and specially allows you to go to the moon platform to kowtow to the princess Niangniang three times in front of the palace gate, and then kowtow three times to my mother in the Xunlan Palace. ā
Xiao Chuan said angrily: "Why do you want my master to kowtow to Concubine Li!"
Mama sneered: "Miss Xiao Chuan, you are still from the palace, you must know how much to do with the comeback of the abolished concubine." Our mother's great grace allows the side concubine to go out of the building, shouldn't the side concubine mother kowtow to my mother to thank her?"
Concubine Li's trick is really ruthless. If I go to the two palaces to kowtow, I don't know how much humiliation I will receive, if I don't go, it will be not to receive Concubine Li's affection, it will be disrespectful to the crown princess, and it is possible to kill me.
"As a waste concubine, I really can't ask for it to be able to get out of the building. But the abolished concubine is an ominous person, and she is afraid that she will get bad luck with the crown princess and Concubine Li when she arrives at the Chuiyue Platform and Xunlan Palace. ā
"That side concubine just doesn't appreciate it. Mama's smile became more and more hideous.
"I don't dare not appreciate it, but it's really inappropriate. Mama, please go back. ā
"You must know that if you don't go, it will be a great disrespect to our mother and the crown princess. ā
"Mama, Banglou is really an ominous place, Mama should leave as soon as possible, so as not to be haunted by ghosts when walking at night. I understand Concubine Li's kindness, but it's really inappropriate for the waste concubine to leave the building, the birthday of the princess's sister is a major event, and I will kowtow to the princess and pray for blessings. "Ancient people believed in ghosts and gods, and I hope these words will make her have some scruples.
But this grandmother seems to be a little unafraid, and she is determined to make me have a bad day, "The side concubine doesn't need to scare the slave maid, since the slave maid came on the order of the maid, she didn't go back empty-handed." You'd better go with the slaves. The slave reminds you that you don't want to toast or eat and drink. ā
Xiao Chuan was anxious, "Mama, our mother has explained the stakes, why don't you let go!" Concubine Li is very kind to my master, and I remember that if I have to kowtow, Xiao Chuan is willing to go on behalf of my master. ā
Mama glared at Xiao Chuan, "This Nizi is too rude, how can the side concubine Niangniang be replaced by a cheap maid like you?
As soon as the words fell, a thick palace maid stepped forward from behind the grandmother and stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Chuan. This is to make an example of the chicken, I slapped the table, "I see which of you dares to touch her!"
Mama sneered: "You yourself said that you are a waste concubine, and since ancient times, waste concubines are no different from slaves. And I'm Concubine Li, why don't I dare to touch her?
The palace maid raised her hand and was about to hit Xiao Chuan, but I subconsciously grabbed the palace maid's arm and pushed her away. The palace maid took two or three steps back with an "oops".
"Who of you dares to step forward!" I grabbed the scissors from the sewing basket on the table and pointed them at them. This pair of scissors was still purchased by Ziluan, but unfortunately he couldn't help me this time, so I had to rely on myself.
Mama was obviously frightened by the sight of me grabbing the scissors, but soon she returned to normal, "Concubine Niangniang, what are you doing, why bother with scissors, don't hurt anyone." "As he spoke, he snatched the scissors from my hand.
I dodged her hand that grabbed my scissors, "Mama, I advise you to leave." ā
"You're laughing again, I've seen a lot of scissors like this, if something doesn't happen today, how can I explain it. Since you are so unappreciative, don't blame the slave for being ruthless. After speaking, Mama glanced at the palace maids behind.
The palace maids rushed up to grab my scissors, and I was about to resist, when suddenly there was a sound of hula footsteps, and a group of guards surrounded the building, only to hear a "presumptuous!" Everyone fell silent.
