Chapter 146: Leng Yan
Before Aunt Shi's voice fell, there was a gentle burst of laughter in the palace.
In all directions, soft laughter entered her ears, and Aunt Shi knelt on the ground, suddenly not knowing what to do. The girl behind her tugged at Aunt Shi's sleeve with a look of annoyance, "Why is Auntie so sloppy?" Although the woman is wearing twelve palace skirts, there is no gold, and the pattern is just ordinary flowers and plants, it is the palace maid's dress with an ordinary face, why does the aunt kneel down to a palace maid so disregarding?"
Aunt Shi said badly in her heart, and immediately got up and slapped the maid with her backhand, and asked repeatedly: "You slut, why didn't you say it earlier?
Liang Qin cleared his throat and looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.
Liang Qin chuckled and said, "I don't know what the origin of this aunt is? Why can't I even recognize an ordinary palace dress? If Mrs. Yuan comes, I'm afraid she won't be mistaken." โ
Aunt Shi turned around at this time, with a little arrogance in her expression, "Since she is a palace maid, why do you have to see the housewife of the Liu family? Madame is not feeling well, so she sent me." โ
Liang Qin sat down quietly, Aunt Shi stood in front of her, and the little girl knelt behind her. Aunt Shi said in her heart, I am obviously standing taller than her, why is this palace maid inexplicably like she is a head taller than me.
The female officer Ning Wen stepped forward and bent her knees and said, "Miss Qin." Liang Qin nodded, there was already a cup of tea on the coffee table at hand, she reached out to pick up the tea, and gently skimmed the tea foam.
Ning Wen then turned to look at Aunt Shi, and scolded softly: "Miss Qin is the palace maid of the Huangji Palace, and the Huangji Palace is an important place for the emperor to see important ministers to deal with government affairs, according to the rules of the ancestors, although the palace maid of the Huangji Palace has no rank, but she is a person trusted by the emperor, and the harem acts like a high grade, don't say that I and other female officials with rank are harem concubines, and we still treat her with courtesy." Lord Liu only sent one concubine over. Is it possible to look down on the Imperial Palace like this?"
The Imperial Palace is an important place for the emperor to deal with government affairs, and the meaning behind looking down on the Imperial Palace is not to look down on the emperor?
Aunt Shi was frightened by Ning Wen's words, her knees weakened, and she still staggered to her knees.
Liang Qin put down the teacup. With his hands folded on his knees, his sitting posture was particularly upright and good-looking, "You are a concubine, can you preside over the middle feed like Mrs. Yuan, or deal with the official eunuchs and concubines? Mrs. Zhengfang is trapped in the mansion and lets the concubine go out." Is it possible to make waves, is it possible, is it not possible that there is a custom of spoiling concubines and killing wives in Jiangnan? This is not good-"
Aunt Shi shook her head again and again: "It's not such a Qin girl!"
She didn't learn these rules, out of the back house to say that the wind is the wind and the rain is rain, no one has ever told her the rules, and now when she sees the red people in the palace, how to put her hands and feet for a while, how to salute while kneeling, she has forgotten her proportions, and she can't help but bow her head to the ground and kowtow.
Ning Wen was on the side with a strong straight music. Several of the little palace maids around them also couldn't help but laugh - they had never seen such an ugly female dependent kowtowing and kowtowing, no matter how they said it, they were also concubines of a large party, how could they be so ignorant, like a village man who saw the Jade Emperor, he only knew how to kowtow and bow down.
Liang Qin raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Wen, Ning Wen waved his hand, and several palace maids stepped forward to help Aunt Shi up.
Liang Qin then asked, "I don't know what this aunt is going to do when she comes to the palace today?"
Aunt Shi reached out and touched her hair, which seemed to be neat. looked up at Liang Qin slightly, seeing that Liang Qin's face was quite normal, but he didn't know it, thinking that this Qin girl had finished tricking her. He was about to get down to business with her, so he pulled up his sleeves and said, "The master ordered me to comeโ"
"I don't care why Lord Liu asked you to come to the palace. The cleaning and repair of the palace is a matter of importance, and Lord Liu should have personally inquired about it, but Lord Liu, as a parent official, is busy every day. This is the second best thing, and it should be sorted out by Mrs. Yuan, the mother of the Liu Mansion. Now I don't know if Lord Liu despised the imperial power, or if Mrs. Yuan was terminally ill? He actually sent a rural woman who didn't understand any rules to delay the rectification and sweeping of the palace, and when the emperor arrived, the palace was not cleaned up.
Liang Qin took a long time to look at the fingers stacked on his knees and said, speaking slowly, but the words that came out of his mouth were pierced one by one on Aunt Shi's body like the tip of a needle.
Aunt Shi raised her lips and wanted to say something, Liang Qin glanced at her, and the cold light in her eyes was so frightened that Aunt Shi couldn't help but take a step back, her mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what she wanted to say. Liang Qin spoke first and said coldly: "No matter how much Lord Liu favors you, a concubine is a concubine, and if you can't be on the stage, you will be a thing that can't be on the stage for the rest of your life." It is already a great grace to be able to let you go to the palace today, if I see you here again in the future, although I have no rank, I can assign a eunuch to throw you out of the palace, I will also do it, even if the emperor arrives in the future, he will not punish me for this trivial matter, do you believe it or not?"
Aunt Shi hadn't been scared like this for a long time, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but think about it, if she was carried out of the palace by a few eunuchs, she couldn't help but clench her teeth, and she trembled for a while, and she really didn't know how to reply.
"Go back and tell Lord Sรน Liu. For the sake of Mrs. Yuan and the queen's mother, and for the sake of Lord Liu's good reputation, I won't care about the crime of conniving at concubines and ineffective family management, but the materials of the palace must be made up as much as possible, otherwise the emperor's trip will be delayed, or if you live here uncomfortably, none of you will be able to escape the charge of 'dereliction of duty'. โ
Liang Qin stood up slowly, his words were loud, and he waved his hand in disgust after speaking, and several palace maids pushed and pulled Aunt Shi to the gate of the palace.
waited until she returned to the backyard of Liufu, Aunt Shi was still stunned, as if she didn't know what was going on, until Pingshuang, the maid who was close to her, entered the house in the evening and said, "The master is coming over today, let the aunt prepare well." At that time, she came back to her senses, glared at Pingshuang and said, "What about the dead girl who went to the palace with me today?
Pingshuang asked, "Is Auntie talking about picking incense?" After asking, she saw Aunt Shi's gray face and anger in her eyes, and she couldn't help but go out and pull Cai Xiang into Aunt Shi's house.
After Aunt Shi yelled at her with a big bang and scolded her, and was about to call Pingshuang to come over to reward her mouth, her hand with long nails raised the little girl's chin for fragrant fragrance, and couldn't help laughing coldly: "The little girl looks good, it's better to send it to Lord Shi to warm the bed."
