Chapter 13: Woe
The next day, Qi Jinghuan took Gao He to the court, Shen Youan and Bitong chatted in the duty room, the female official next to Lin Zhaorong suddenly came to spread the word that Shen Youan went to Roufu Palace, Shen Youan suffered a lot of losses in Lin Zhaorong, Bitong wanted her to drag it, and then go over when His Majesty Xià went down, according to His Majesty's current temperament, he would definitely not let You'an suffer, but the female officer next to Lin Zhaorong kept watching, and she couldn't say anything, after all, Lin Zhaorong was the master.
When Shen Youan followed the female official to the Roufu Palace, there were other concubines in the Frost Palace, Lin Zhaorong was wearing a pink pleated skirt, her long black hair was coiled into a bun, and the forehead was inlaid with precious red gold tassels, and two cloud temples were inserted into the bun on both sides.
"The slave maid asks for peace for Zhaorong Niangniang, and for Xu Guiren and Chen Meiren."
Shen Youan walked up to him and bent down to salute, not caring at all that Xu Guiren was looking at her on the side, she also knew this Xu Guiren, and she had talked to her during the previous draft.
"Get up."
Lin Zhaorong glanced at her, she straightened up and lowered her head, waiting for Lin Zhaorong's orders.
"I heard that Xu Guiren said that Shen Si Meng has done a good job in embroidering, this spring, the palace is lacking some handkerchiefs, I wonder if Shen Si Meng can embroider a few for the palace?"
Shen Youan glanced at Xu Guiren, and saw her smile awkwardly, as if he didn't expect Lin Zhaorong to say it directly.
"I don't know what Zhaorong Niangniang wants?"
Lin Zhaorong Road; "Just embroider what you embroidered for the Queen Mother."
Shen Youan was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at Xu Guiren, and saw her pinching the handkerchief and putting it to her lips, she was relieved and bowed; "Is Zhaorong Niangniang mistaken, the slave maid has never embroidered a handkerchief for the Queen Mother."
Lin Zhaorong narrowed his eyes and said; "You won't."
"Niangniang Mingjian, the slave maid has never embroidered a handkerchief for the Queen Mother, so I don't know what kind of handkerchief Niangniang wants."
Lin Zhaorong moved his gaze to Xu Guiren, Xu Guiren raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Youan, and said with a sneer; "Niangniang, she lied, the handkerchief that the concubine saw at the Queen Mother was clearly embroidered by her, and the slave maid had seen her handkerchief before, and that handkerchief was exactly the same as hers except for the color."
"There are so many handkerchiefs embroidered every day in the Shangfu Bureau in this palace, how can Xu Guiren determine that they are slaves."
"Other people's handkerchiefs can be similar, but your Shen Si is different, the handkerchiefs you use are all embroidered by yourself, and they are not Shangfu Bureau's at all."
Shen Youan's expression changed slightly, Xu Guiren was right, she knew how to embroider herself, and the handkerchiefs she used were all embroidered by herself, but she really never embroidered for the Queen Mother, why did Xu Guiren say that she had embroidered handkerchiefs for the Queen Mother.
Lin Zhaorong glanced at Shen You'an, and suddenly said angrily; "Why, if you embroider it for the Queen Mother, you can't embroider it for the palace, you don't look down on the palace."
The tone of these words also became much colder, but Shen Youan had never embroidered a handkerchief for the Queen Mother, so how could he know which kind of handkerchief Lin Zhaorong was referring to.
Lin Zhaorong turned the platinum silk double-buckle bracelet on his wrist and snorted coldly; "Shen You'an, how noble does this palace think you are? It's not a pity to seduce His Majesty in a hurry, to seduce His Majesty and not to succeed Thinking of starting from the Queen Mother and settling with the Queen Mother, it's a pity, it's not a small female official, just a slave. ”
Shen Youan lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Lin Zhaorong was a little annoyed, what she looked down on the most was Shen Youan, who was already a subordinate, but she still had to put out the master's score.
"Shen Youan, this palace likes the handkerchief you embroidered for the Queen Mother, and this palace will not embarrass you, within three days, just embroider ten."
She just didn't like Shen You'an, she just wanted to see how she gave in, it was not difficult to embroider ten handkerchiefs, but seeing that this arrogant noble girl in the past had to obey her orders, she felt very happy.
"Back to the mother, the slave can't do it."
She has never embroidered a handkerchief for the Queen Mother, so how can she embroider it exactly the same.
"You dare to disobey Hongu's orders."
Lin Zhaorong looked at Shen You'an, who had an indifferent expression, and felt that a fire rose from her chest, she was so bold that she dared to disobey her orders.
Xu Guiren watched the excitement from the sidelines, and he didn't think it was a big deal, and fanned the flames; "Shen Youan, if you embroider it for the Queen Mother, can't you embroider it for the mother? You don't look down on your mother. ”
"Shut up."
Lin Zhaorong was already angry that Shen Youan disobeyed her order, and now it made Xu Guiren even more angry when he said this, Xu Guiren closed his mouth wiltedly, sat in his seat and prepared to watch a good show, some people, that's it, when you are good, she will slap you, and when you are bad, she wants to step on your feet, as if you can get a strong sense of satisfaction in your heart, it just so happens that Xu Guiren is this kind of person.
Lin Zhaorong glared at Shen Youan with a gloomy face; "This palace will ask you again, do you embroider or not."
Shen Youan still said the same thing; "Slaves can't do it."
"Okay, okay, okay." Lin Zhaorong pointed at Shen Youan, laughed angrily, and said; "Come on, slap your mouth, when she can do it, when will she stop."
Shen Youan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lin Zhaorong to be like this, no matter what happened before, he never beat her.
"Niangniang, no, Shen Youan is a person in front of the emperor."
The female officer beside Lin Zhaorong quietly persuaded.
Lin Zhaorong was also confused, and he regretted it a little when he reacted at this time, but when he saw Xu Guiren and Chen Meiren sitting below and watching, these words were all spoken, wouldn't it be a loss of face to take it back, and then saw Shen Youan standing there without moving, nor begging for mercy, he was even more angry, and said in a deep voice; "What's wrong with the people in front of the palace, this palace wants to see if the palace beat her today, whether Her Majesty is facing her or facing the palace, someone comes, hit the palace, something happens, the palace bears it."
The little palace people beside Lin Zhaorong were just about to make a move, when they heard a sharp voice outside; "My people, see who dares to fight."
As soon as Lin Zhaorong heard that it was the emperor's voice, he hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked down from the main seat to pick up the driver, and Xu Guiren and Chen Meiren also hurriedly stood up.
Qi Jinghuan strode in with a group of people, and Lin Zhaorong saluted with people; "The concubine gives His Majesty a greeting."
Qi Jinghuan didn't even look at her, walked directly past her, and pulled up Shen You'an, who was kneeling on the ground; "It's okay."
Lin Zhaorong's smile instantly froze on his face, and Xu Guiren also shuddered.
Shen Youan was helped up by him, his hand was still held in his hand, he gently withdrew his hand, shook his head and said; "The slave is fine."
Qi Jinghuan looked her up and down, and after confirming that she was really fine, he turned his face to Lin Zhaorong who was standing aside; "Who gave you the courage to dare to beat the people in front of the emperor."
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it, it was Shen Siyu who disobeyed the concubine's order, and the concubine taught her a lesson."
"Oh?" Qi Jinghuan sneered; "I don't know when the people in front of me are also the ones you can call."
Lin Zhaorong's expression froze slightly, she didn't expect Her Majesty to say this, in the past, she punished Shen Youan in front of Her Majesty, and Her Majesty didn't say anything, how could she be so abnormal today.
She laughed dryly; "Your Majesty, how dare the concubine call the person of His Majesty? It's just that she saw that the handkerchief embroidered by Shen Si was good-looking, so she was invited to embroider a handkerchief for the concubine, but she actually made a disrespectful remark, saying that the concubine was not worthy of letting her embroider a handkerchief. ”
Shen Youan raised her head in surprise, looked at Qi Jinghuan, and just wanted to explain, she saw Qi Jinghuan shake her hand, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, sure enough, Her Majesty didn't believe her, so what should happen next? Is it to kneel like before, or to slap the mouth like Lin Zhaorong said today?
Just when she was thinking about what punishment she would receive, Qi Jinghuan suddenly said; "I don't care what she says, she is a person in front of my emperor, she is serving me, you asked her to embroider a handkerchief for you, you just want her to serve you, Lin Zhaorong, I didn't know that you were so ambitious, you actually wanted to enjoy the same treatment as me, and only the queen in this world can enjoy the same treatment as me."
"陛xià."
Lin Zhaorong's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground; "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't have it, the concubine doesn't dare."
"Hmph, don't dare, I see how bold you are."
Qi Jinghuan suddenly raised his foot and kicked Lin Zhaorong's chest, directly kicking Lin Zhaorong to the ground.
Lin Zhaorong screamed "ah", clutching his chest, tears flowing, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.
Shen Youan was also stunned, no matter how angry He was with himself in the past, he had never done anything directly to himself.
Qi Jinghuan was also very angry, he couldn't wait to hold the person in the palm of his hand, this woman dared to beat and scold at will, the previous account had not been settled with her, and now it was just right, the new account and the old account were settled together.
Lin Zhaorong gritted his teeth, holding on to the pain, Qi Jinghuan's kick was not light, not to mention that she had been pampered since she was a child, how could she have suffered this kind of grievance, she just raised her head and met Qi Jinghuan's cold eyes, trembled, crawled over, and cried; "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare to think about the queen's position, the concubine doesn't dare, it's really Shen Si who collided with the concubine, and the concubine ordered someone to teach her a lesson, don't believe it, don't believe it, you ask Xu Guiren."
Xu Guiren was so frightened that she almost cried, and secretly hated Lin Zhaorong for pulling her back, but she also knew that Lin Zhaorong was not good today, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do well, so she had to follow Lin Zhaorong's words.
"Really?"
Qi Jinghuan looked at Xu Guiren with a cold face.
Xu Guiren lowered his head and said weakly; "Hui Majesty, yes, yes."
"Hmph." Qi Jinghuan snorted coldly; "I hate people who tell right and wrong the most in my life."
Speaking of this, he paused, but this sentence had made Xu Guiren's face pale.
