Chapter 88: Punishment
An Rui is not stupid, so she naturally heard another meaning, but she didn't mind at all: "Miss Xie mentions, my cousin is praised by the world, and having such a cousin is really a great blessing for me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the future, I will abide by my duty and dare not break this blessing! ”
At this moment, she is completely convinced by her cousin Dongfang Huajin. The feeling of admiration is like the surging river, which stretches endlessly.
Oriental painting brocade entered the palace to meet the queen, and in the imperial garden, he met the virtuous concubine.
Seeing the Oriental Painting Brocade, Concubine Xian's heart was suddenly full of hatred and anger, it was all this practice, if it weren't for this practice, how could she be reprimanded by His Majesty? How could her emperor be snubbed by His Majesty?
The emotion came too quickly, too suddenly, and too violently, and it flowed all over her body in an instant, making her breathing a little suffocated, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"Splendid has seen Niangniang!" Oriental painting brocade suppressed the dislike in his heart, and saluted respectfully.
"Trampling!" Concubine Xian rose up and slapped it down, using ten percent of her strength.
Oriental Painting Jin never imagined that in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, and even in front of the palace maid in Kunning Palace, Concubine Xian would dare to be so presumptuous. was defenseless, and was beaten squarely, only to feel a hot pain in his cheeks.
She stood on the spot, frowned slightly, and looked at Concubine Xian with a faint smile: "Niangniang, dare to ask what mistake Jinxiu made to make Niangniang so hateful?" ”
I don't know why, she was obviously smiling, but it made Concubine Xian feel a chill on her face.
Concubine Xian was furious, and she didn't choose to speak: "It's just that you don't like the eyes, you don't know what to do, you don't eat and drink!" What kind of thing, dare to look down on this palace! ”
Oriental Painting Brocade treats An Hongming like that, isn't it just slapping her in the face and the face of the second prince? ! An Hongyuan, and even have to separate from An Hongming, if she says that there is no shadow of Oriental Painting Brocade, she will not believe it if she is killed!
Another shout: "Come on, hold her down, and scold her with fifty boards!" ”
When Concubine Xian thought of her son, she had lost the powerful backer of King Qin, and she only felt that her whole body was surging with qi and blood, and her anger could not be suppressed no matter what.
King Qin! If Dongfang Huajin is willing to accept her solicitation, King Qin, the big backer, will be her son's! With the help of King Qin, all queens and princes have to stand aside.
It's a pity that the practice of Oriental Painting Brocade is so hateful that he dares to look down on her and look down on her wise and unparalleled emperor! In this case, today I will give Na Jian a good look, and it can be regarded as a warning to King Qin!
If you don't accept the solicitation, it's just that, but you can't let King Qin side with the prince! To give a warning, King Qin, who is not greedy for power, should remain neutral and not help each other.
However, what she never expected was that no matter what King Qin would think, the Oriental Painting Brocade, which she had always looked down on, was provoked by her fighting spirit and anger at this moment.
Dongfang Huajin felt the strong malice from the other party, even the killing intent, she suddenly didn't want to endure it, she didn't want to back down, she didn't want to hide it!
Because, she was suddenly very afraid, afraid that if she took one step back today, she would have to take two steps back in the future, a few steps back, or even retreat again and again, until there was no way to retreat, standing on the edge of the cliff. Then, she and her relatives will be gnawed to the point that there are no bones left!
That's right! She can conclude that if the second prince gains power, becomes a prince, and becomes an emperor, she and her relatives will face a huge crisis. Raiding the house and being exiled may be light!
No, she will never allow this kind of situation to exist!
She wants to rise up, she wants to be strong! It is so powerful that no one dares to attack her and her relatives easily, and no one can easily shake her power. is so powerful that those who have ill intentions will fear her and stay away. Strong enough to become a friend of the emperor and keep future generations safe and sound.
As soon as he thought of this, Dongfang Huajin shouted: "Who dare to do it?!" ”
This drink, with ten percent of the internal force, the sound is loud, like the evening drum and morning bell, spread far away. It is estimated that most of the people in the palace can hear it.
Especially the people in Kunning Palace, Yangxin Palace, Imperial Study, and Cining Palace, which are closer to here, should hear it very clearly. Those who are familiar with her can definitely understand that this is the voice of the Splendid Countryman.
Concubine Xian couldn't help but be furious, and scolded loudly: "Dongfang Xiaocao, how dare you make a loud noise in the palace? What are you still doing? Hurry up and hold her, open your mouth fifty times first, and then pull down the cane fifty! ”
An Yi and An Er couldn't help but be stunned.
Is it inappropriate for the master to treat the virtuous concubine like this?
You must know that since Concubine Shu fell out of favor, Concubine Xian can be said to be the sixth palace of favor. Even the queen had to avoid her edge and concede three points to her.
The queen and the emperor soon came.
Concubine Xian knelt on the ground, pulled the hem of the emperor's clothes, and wanted to cry: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the concubine!" The Jinxiu Township Monarch committed the following crimes, and was very disrespectful to the concubines, and even threatened the concubines! Just now, I even wanted to beat my concubine! ”
The emperor looked at Dongfang Huajin quietly: "What do you have to say?" ”
Oriental Painting Brocade did not panic, and told the story of the incident one by one. There was no oil and vinegar, but the way he spoke was very clever, and he plucked himself cleanly.
Concubine Xian was furious: "You trampleman, you lie!" This palace didn't hit you, it was you who beat yourself! ”
Dongfang Huajin looked at her funny: "I beat myself myself, are you sure?" ”
Concubine Xian shouted arrogantly: "It's you who beat yourself, this palace can see clearly, you are going to blame this palace!" Looking at the emperor again, he cried so much that he couldn't take pity on him: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of your concubines!" ”
The emperor frowned slightly, how could this virtuous concubine become like this? In the past, she obviously looked quite virtuous, otherwise, he would not have given her the title of virtuous concubine. The second prince is both civil and military, and has an excellent reputation, just because of this, over the years, he is also willing to give her a little more decency.
However, today's matter, if the Splendid Township Monarch did not lie, then this woman is really too much. Her mind is too deep.
Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the position of the prince?!
In the emperor's heart, a seed of doubt was planted.
Dongfang Huajin bowed down to the emperor and the queen, and showed the queen his beaten cheek: "Niangniang, please look, my slap print should still be there, if it is me who hit myself, then the palm should be facing up." Otherwise, Concubine Xian is lying! ”
The queen took a closer look and nodded to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this slap was indeed not made by herself, what Concubine Xian said is not true!" ”
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly dumbfounded. However, with a roll of his eyes, he quickly found a way to make up for himself: "No, I said it wrong just now, you asked your maid to beat it!" ”
Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but sneer: "Niangniang, in front of Your Majesty, you keep saying big things, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue." Both of my maids are shorter than mine, and if they did, their palms would still be pointing upwards. The people present, you are much taller than me, who beat me, it goes without saying! Niangniang, the crime of bullying the king, even if you are the biological mother of the second prince, you can't commit it casually! ”
Concubine Xian's face suddenly turned as white as paper.
The emperor's face was pale, and when he looked at Concubine Xian's gaze, it was suddenly as sharp as a knife.
The queen's mood was so good that the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Before the words fell, Dongfang Huajin knelt down: "Jinxiu, please Your Majesty and the queen mother, and administer justice for Jinxiu!" ”
The emperor's face was so black that it seemed to be dripping ink.
Who is Splendid Countryman? She is not an ordinary five-grade countryman, but the beloved woman of King Qin, and the biological mother of King Qin's son. This woman, not to mention that Concubine Xian can't afford to provoke, even he, the emperor, is actually not easy to provoke.
The King of Qin, however, was his most powerful assistant, and loyal enough to him. He can't even get such a person, so where will he offend?
"Someone, take Concubine Xian down, and detain her dormitory first, not allowed to enter or leave for half a step, and no one is allowed to visit, and no one is allowed to pass on any news! Those who violate the order will be killed! ”
There was no way, the emperor had no choice but to give such an order.
Concubine Xian was taken away by the palace maid.
Oriental Painting Jin followed the emperor and queen to Kunning Palace.
The emperor asked Oriental Painting: "What do you think about how to deal with the virtuous concubine?" ”
Dongfang Huajin shook his head: "Splendid listen to Your Majesty!" ”
How can she meddle in the affairs of the palace?
The emperor pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision, looked at the queen and said, "Or, take away her concubine and be demoted to a concubine?" Then, a year of grounding and twenty more boards! ”
The queen said respectfully: "The concubines listen to Your Majesty." ”
The emperor looked at the Oriental Painting Brocade again: "What do you think?" ”
Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, Jinxiu heard that there is another war in the northwest, and the treasury is not very abundant. It's better to be grounded for a year, which can be exchanged for a million taels of silver, and changed to a month's lockdown; Twenty boards were exchanged for two million taels of silver. Jinxiu has heard that Concubine Xian's maiden family is as rich as the country, and the children of the family spend a lot of money without blinking their eyes. ”
The emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes and blurted out: "Is this okay?" ”
Dongfang Huajin nodded: "Well, this is called atonement silver!" Special period, special application, but not suitable for vigorous promotion. ”
The emperor stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, this is a good idea!" Queen, do you agree? ”
The queen was amused and said with a smile: "Well, this idea is indeed good, and the concubines can't find a reason to oppose it." ”
Today, the treasury is still passable, but if a war starts, it will be empty. If the virtuous concubine goes down, there will always be a new favorite concubine, and the women of this harem will not be able to kill them all. In this case, it is better for her to be generous, so that the emperor can know how sensible and virtuous she is.
Sure enough, the emperor nodded with satisfaction to the queen: "Okay, then let's do it!" ”
Oriental Painting Brocade couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And so, very well. If she really beats Concubine Xian for twenty boards and is grounded for a year, it is estimated that she will be hated to death by this woman and her mother's family. Of course, if the emperor's decision is to put this woman in the cold palace and reduce it to a promise, then no matter how many boards she plays, she will definitely raise her hands in agreement.
Since you can't kill you with a stick, it's better to leave yourself a little leeway.
Concubine Xian's maiden family should not be underestimated.
Soon, the decree reached Concubine Xian's maiden home, that is, the mansion of the founding prince.
Tao Donglai, the founding prince of the country, came to see off the eunuch of Xuanzhi, and was so angry that he immediately kicked Concubine Xian's biological mother Li: "The good daughter you gave birth to, what is not enough to succeed and more than to fail, the splendid countryman, is also something she can wantonly bully?!" "Not only that, but it will also harm the government of the country, and I have to hand over three million taels of silver. Thus, in front of the emperor, the details of the Tao family's very rich background were completely exposed.
Li's is his second room. Originally, she was just a cheap concubine, but later her daughter was named a virtuous concubine, and she became a side room.
Song Ci learned that Dongfang Huajin was being bullied, and smiled coldly in his heart.
Within a few days, the Tao family's business in the capital area was comprehensively suppressed.
******
Yun Jin is about to get married, and Dongfang Huajin has selected a few maids and wives for her, all of whom are dignified and have calm personalities, and none of them are strong people.
The maids and women who are strong in pinching the tip are basically driven to the Grange to do farm work, and those who stay in Huali Villa are all of good character. It is okay to be strong, but it is not advisable to be strong and sharp.
In this ancient society, as a subordinate, he is not qualified to pinch the tip to be strong. However, if the tip is strong, the possibility of the center being commendable will be greatly reduced.
If the greed is not enough, * is too strong, it is naturally easy to be bribed, and it is easy to give birth to a heart of betrayal. Such a subordinate, no master, dare to trust easily.
Two eleven or twelve-year-old third-class maids, three strong mothers-in-law.
These five people all have families, and their family members, as companions, will also follow them to the Fang Mansion.
There are ten days left, which is the day when Yunjin gets married. For the sake of convenience, Oriental Painting Brocade bought a five-entry mansion near my uncle's house in the morning, and it was separated from my uncle's house by two families.
Oriental Painting Brocade summoned all the maids and mothers-in-law who accompanied the marriage, the guards and the accompanying room, and asked the three younger brothers and sisters to follow along, and by the way, they recognized these people.
Her remarks were very simple, but a short cup of tea, and the last two sentences, like the thunder on the dry land: "In the future, you will be the second girl's people, and the only master you want to be loyal to is the second girl." The Lord humiliated the servant to death, do you remember clearly?! ”
More than 20 subordinates saluted respectfully, and their voices were loud and clear: "Remember clearly!" ”
******
The matter of separating the family and the sect did not go so smoothly.
Old man An and Mrs. An didn't agree to anything, and at the instigation of the eldest son An Hongming and the concubine, they even forced each other to die.
The second prince gave An Hongming a death order: "No matter what, you can't divide the family, let alone divide the clan!" In any case, the Oriental Painting Brocade is a practitioner, you have to find a way to cling to it! With the help of King Qin, this prince is going to be decided! ”
An Hongming waited at the entrance of the work department.
When he was on a business trip, people came and went, and An Hongyuan had nowhere to hide, so he had to sigh, stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Big brother, what are you looking for me?" ”
An Hongming was overjoyed: "Second brother, our brothers haven't been together for a few days, and today the eldest brother invites you to eat at Yipinxiang!" ”
An Hongyuan refused without thinking about it: "I'm not free today, let's do it another day!" ”
An Hongming stalked: "Just today, I have something to tell you!" ”
At this time, someone on the side interjected: "Lord An, go!" Your eldest brother has been in the field for so many years, and he finally came back, so he has to be a little more affectionate! ”
An Hongyuan glanced at the other party with sharp eyes, this person he knew, it was the person of the third prince. Today, obviously, the eldest brother dug a pit and waited for him to jump.
He immediately became alert, and his attitude was much more resolute: "I said that I am not free, I will invite you another day!" ”
An Hongming couldn't help but say anything, so he stuffed him into the carriage: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll send you back!" ”
personally lifted the curtain for him, looking like a good brother, to be more affectionate, how affectionate; Be as sincere as you are, as sincere as you are.
If he hadn't relived a lifetime, if he hadn't understood his eldest brother's selfish and cold nature, he might have really softened his heart at this moment, and he would have been really moved.
He suddenly felt panicked in his heart, and a feeling of extreme powerlessness arose.
If he could, why would he ever want to separate from his eldest brother, or even die of old age? Brothers who grew up together, the relationship between the brothers has always been good, since when did the eldest brother suddenly change?
Starting with the eldest brother getting married? Or, starting with the big brother outlet?
The carriage stopped at the door of Yipinxiang, and when he got out of the carriage, An Hongyuan turned around and strode away.
An Hongming was dumbfounded, and shouted: "Hey, I said second brother, go in for dinner, what's the matter with you leaving?" Could it be that you don't look down on me as a big brother? ”
An Hongyuan stopped, turned around, looked at his eldest brother fixedly, and said expressionlessly: "I have repeatedly emphasized that I am really not free today, I have already made an appointment with someone, and I have important things to do." I also promised to invite you to dinner another day, but you forced me into the carriage. I can't afford a big brother like you, and I can't afford to provoke it! ”
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to An Hongming anymore, and strode away.
