Chapter 71: Bringing Down Hannah

Hannah is difficult to ride a tiger, at this time, if she agrees to let He Lanhao stay in the queen's palace at night, she really can't swallow this evil breath, if she doesn't agree, Helan Hao will definitely blame her for being jealous and ignorant, and she will have thoughts about her.

was about to split and entangled, He Lanhao opened his mouth and said: "It's about the dragon heir, so that the concubine will not be so ignorant, the queen can rest assured." ”

When Chao Gui heard this, he looked at Hannah with a smile and said, "Concubine Ling, don't you really blame me?" ”

It had reached this point, and Hannah had no choice but to grit her teeth, endure the evil anger in her heart, and say, "No, no! ”

The two simple words seemed to have exhausted all the strength of her body, and by the time she finished speaking, her nails had already poked into her palms.

Now, she has to admit that she lost, and she lost completely, whether it was He Lanhao's body or his heart, it had been completely controlled by the queen, and all his feelings for her were limited to his old feelings for his mother......

Coming out of the Yuzhao Palace, all the concubines giggled, as if they were deliberately angry with her, and Mrs. Hua Rui said loudly: "It's really gratifying to see Your Majesty and the queen so affectionate, speaking of which, Concubine Ling is really generous, it's easy to ask Her Majesty to go to her palace for a night, and now for the sake of the dragon heir, let Her Majesty out easily?" This is something that ordinary people can't do! ”

Another concubine said: "That is, last month, His Majesty only stayed in Concubine Ling's palace for three days, and now most of this month has passed, and His Majesty has not rested in Concubine Ling's palace all night. ”

Immediately someone answered: "What? Concubine Ling hasn't slept once this month, oops, I've slept twice so unfavorably, how can Concubine Ling not sleep once? ”

"You two times, not His Majesty Xià stayed in the queen's palace, and was driven to you by the queen, to say that our queen, is really generous and open-minded, unlike some people, as soon as they are favored, they will their tails to the sky, and they look like villains, and they actually regard Majesty Xià as a man who is her alone, and whoever says a word to His Majesty will be punished by her. Fortunately, His Majesty let our queen take charge of the harem, otherwise we people would not have to suffer any crimes, and only our queen can be worthy of being His Majesty's wife and worthy of being the mother of the world. ”

The concubine who spoke while talking looked at Concubine Ling who was walking in the front, when the queen had not yet been favored, she said a word to Helan Hao for asking His Majesty Xià to ask for an hour, and was ordered by Hannah to slap her mouth with a bamboo board thirty times, and beat her face to rot, and it took a few months to recover, and she still has tinnitus.

Therefore, she hates Hannah deeply, and as long as she has the opportunity to step on Hannah, she will never let it go.

Hannah walked in the front, her heart was about to be angry, she knew that these women were deliberately angry with her, but she couldn't have a seizure, now it's different from the past, if she had a seizure of these women, they would probably run to the queen to complain, and the queen would definitely sue her to Helanhao, and when the time came, Helanhao would have more opinions on her.

Hearing these women taunt Hannah, Hannah's maid was so frightened that her soul was about to fly out, the master had a problem, and she used these minions as a pawn when she was angry, and because she was in a bad mood in the past few months, she had already been killed and disabled by several people, and now the master is angry like this, and when he returns to the palace, they will definitely suffer!

trembling and walking back to the palace, her hand holding the master was scratched by the master, but she didn't feel any pain at all, just hoping that the master wouldn't use the topic to play and make her angry.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Hannah raised her hand violently, looked at the sticky blood stains on it, and said angrily: "It's dirty, it's really a lowly servant, even the blood is dirty, someone came, stripped her naked, and whipped her forty lashes."

When the maid heard this, she was terrified, and wailed: "The concubine spares her life......." The concubine spares her life......"

The whips in Hannah's palace are all made of leather strips, with extremely strong tenacity, and they don't seem to be heavy when pumped on the body, but they will make people's skin and flesh bloom, and three or five whips will make people unbearable, not to mention that they are stripped of forty whips, but I am afraid that if the forty whips are not finished, she will whine!

However, Hannah is angry, and she is all pointing at the one who is angry with her, how can she spare her? Therefore, he raised his eyes and shouted, "If your master tells you to die, you will die, and if you dare to intercede with me, come and add forty more lashes to her until she is killed!" “

The guards rushed up, holding hands and pulling hairs, and in spite of the maid's cry and pleading, stripped her naked with a few strokes, and whipped her. "Bang-bang-bang-"

The crisp sound of the whip sounded, and the screams of the handmaidens resounded through the night sky, and Hannah sat in her chair, looking at the bloody handmaidens who had been whipped with the whips, imagining the queen and the concubines she hated as the tortured handmaidens, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

At this time, a servant girl waiting outside hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Master, Your Majesty is here!" "What? What did you say? “

Hannah was startled and got up from her seat, startled by the news, but immediately saw the handmaid on the ground who was beaten to the ground and was dying, and immediately shouted in a hurry: "Quick, hide her quickly!" “

The last time she abused her subordinates, He Lanhao condemned her, saying that she had a violent temperament and was not as kind as the queen, and asked her to learn more according to the queen, and learn from the bearing and self-cultivation of others.

At that time, she almost didn't get angry with her, but because He Lanhao spoke, she had to endure it, she hadn't abused her subordinates for a long time, and now it's because she was really angry that her old illness relapsed, but she didn't think about it but was caught up by His Majesty, it's really unlucky!

Before He Lanhao entered the courtyard, he heard the wailing of the maids in Hannah's palace, his eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After entering the dormitory, I saw two guards dragging a naked girl who had been beaten badly, and wanted to hide behind the hall, but the long blood stains dragged the ground, which looked shocking! "Your Majesty.... Majesty, how are you.... Here it comes? Hannah stepped forward, looked at Helan Hao's face with a weak heart, and asked anxiously.

Helan Hao said coldly: "If I don't come, I don't know that you have committed this tyrannical and cruel mistake again, it's really a dog who can't change eating!" “

With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily.

Hannah hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Your Majesty, listen to me, I was also stunned by them, so I sat down in a daze, you don't know, they all helped the queen bully me, ridicule me, I ...... It's so sad......"

He Lanhao sneered: "I think that the queen's horse was shot by you with a cold arrow, causing her to almost fall off the horse and fall to her death, and then she was whipped by you after she fainted, and she still has deep scars on her body, didn't you bully people?" The queen was so wronged, but she didn't say a word about you, and just now she took the initiative to persuade me to come to you to accompany you. But what about you, you are rude and ruthless, jealous and unvirtuous, because I didn't come to anger the innocent palace maid, you are really resentful of me, and beat the palace maid into this miserable situation, it is really ruthless, and you have climbed other concubines, intending to transfer your sins to others, which is really unjust. Where is a person like you worthy to be a concubine? “

Hannah listened to Helan Hao's fierce words, and immediately became nervous, she took the man's sleeve and muttered: "Your Majesty xià ......"

He Lanhao swept his sleeves, brushed her aside, and said coldly: "From now on, if you take away your title, you will be confined to the palace for the concubine, and you will not be allowed to go out without an edict..." “

With that, he gave her a cold look and left.

Hannah fell to the ground, looked at Helan Hao's departing back, heartbroken, and cried: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià......"

He Lanhao didn't look back, and he didn't even look at her again.

He returned to the Yuzhao Palace angrily, Chao Gui was bathing, preparing to sleep for a while, when he saw the man with a blue face, he said softly: "Why is Your Majesty back again?" Didn't you promise to stay at Concubine Ling's tonight? “

He Lanhao saw the gentle water-like woman in the thick bath bucket, and his anger disappeared a lot, he waved his hand, motioned to Xiao Man, who was standing by the bath tub and served Chao Gui to take a bath, to bring him a stool, sat on the edge of Chao Zhuo's bath tub, and said in a deep voice: "Hannah is abusing people again, and wants to put her own guilt on others, this is too hateful, I have punished her, alas, the same woman, how can there be such a big gap, you are gentle and kind like a fairy, but she is as cruel as a poisonous snake, It's disgusting to watch, it's so disappointing to be so good to her all these years! “

Chao Gui lowered his head and said softly, "How did Your Majesty punish her?" “

He Lanhao said: "Deprived her of her title, demoted to the position of concubine, and grounded indefinitely, if she can reflect on her mistakes, I may be able to forgive her in the face of the nurse, if she is still so arrogant and vicious, let her stay there for the rest of her life, and fend for herself!" “

As he spoke, he motioned for Xiaoman to retreat.

Seeing this, Chao Gui said angrily: "What is this doing?" You sent the little man away, but who will serve me? “

Helan Hao said, "How about I come to serve you?" As he spoke, he really rolled up his sleeves and helped Chao Gui wipe his back.

Under the candlelight, Chao Gui's skin is white and greasy, creamy, soft and delicate to the touch, but if you look closely, you will see the criss-crossing scars, and He Lanhao's heart hurts.

He gently stroked the light pink scars, and said in a muffled voice, "Does it still hurt?" “

Chao Gui smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I don't have pain for a long time, it's just that it's itchy and uncomfortable when it rains on a cloudy day, thanks to the scar removal ointment brought by Queen Mu, otherwise it might be so ugly now!" “

Helan Hao gently hugged Chao Gui from behind, and said: "Kindness is beautiful, no matter how deep and heavy the scar on your body is, you are also the most beautiful in my heart, unlike some people, who have an empty appearance, but they are the heart of a femme fatale!" “

He Lanhao, who was looking at the mirror of her heart, was talking about Hannah, and laughed softly in her heart, her purpose had been perfectly achieved, and she was in a really good mood.

She has long known that Hannah loves to abuse her subordinates to vent her anger, so she deliberately calculated the time and persuaded Helanhao to go to Hannah, just to let Helanhao see Hannah's ugly face, and then make Helanhao hate her even more!

Isn't she arrogant and arrogant, taking the dignity and lives of others inappropriately, and this time, she will pay a terrible price......

Chao Gui gently leaned on Helan Hao's arms, and said with a little sadness: "It's because you favor me that you think so, if you are someone else, when you see these hideous scars on my body, you have already hidden far away, where will you be good to me!" “

When Helan Hao heard this, he kissed her hair distressedly and said, "Don't be sad, I will definitely find a way to cure you completely and restore you to the delicate and smooth you used to be!" “

Chao Gui sighed: "Your Majesty, don't comfort me, the injury is so serious, how can it be restored?" I was satisfied, and when I was whipped, I thought I was going to die, but I was content to survive and be favored by you! “

He Lanhao didn't speak again, but hugged the person in his arms tighter, and his resentment towards Hannah deepened......

At night, Chrysanthemum slept alone on the couch, because her monthly letter suddenly came, and the pain made her cover her stomach and turn over and over, and the sweat came down.

Shen Luming and his wife saw that their daughter was tossed like this by Yuexin, and they dispelled the idea of letting her accompany Li Sheng back to the north, and were busy preparing brown sugar water and menstrual tea to relieve their daughter's pain.

Yuexin suddenly advanced, and her stomach hurt like this, Chrysanthemum thought that Li Sheng was angry with her, so she unceremoniously drove him to sleep outside and slept on the big bed alone. Li Sheng was beaten by chrysanthemums during the day, and he was a little afraid of her, so he didn't say anything when he was driven away, and he quietly went to sleep when he was asked to sleep....

Early in the morning, he got up lightly and went to the hall to say goodbye to Shen Luming and his wife, and when the couple saw that their son-in-law was leaving, their daughter didn't go with them, and they didn't even get up to send them off, and they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, Shen Luming said: "What about chrysanthemums?" Why don't you see her? “

Li Sheng said: "Chrysanthemum had abdominal pain last night and fell asleep very late, so the son-in-law deliberately lightened his movements when he got up, and also instructed the people in the house not to scream and let her sleep a little longer!" “

Shen Luming and his wife saw that their son-in-law was so considerate of their daughter, and their dissatisfaction with him was greatly eliminated yesterday, and it was much more pleasing to the eye when they looked at their son-in-law. He kindly instructed him some precautions on the road, and after a long time, he sent him away until it was the auspicious time to leave......

After Xiangyun got up in the morning, she packed up and went to the palace, she had promised Cai Wei that she would enter the palace to accompany her today, and she also had a lot of thoughtful things to say to Cai Wei.

When she entered the palace, it happened that Cai Wei was playing with three buns, and when Xiang Yun saw Cai Wei's three white and cute buns, her eyes were straight, hugging this, kissing that, seeing which one she liked, seeing which one she loved, she asked one after another: "Tell me quickly, how did you give birth, you can give birth all at once?" Are they so beautiful and so cute? “

Cai Wei said with a smile: "It is said that those who give birth to twins or multiple children must have such genes in the family, maybe my mother's mother's family has such genes, and then pass them on to me from generation to generation."

Xiangyun doesn't understand what genes are, but she understands the word heredity, Cai Wei means that her family has ancestors who gave birth to twins or multiple children, so she gave birth to three white and tender buns at once! “

She likes these three cute little babies so much, especially when she sees the fleshy pearl, she can't help but hug her in her arms and shout: "Cai Wei, do you remember what I said back then, the two of us will be in-laws in the future, your pearl is so cute, and it will be just right to marry my super'er when she grows up in the future!" “

After speaking, he spared no effort to praise his son.

It was easy to wait for her to finish, and Cai Wei said helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the child's father said that in the future, these children must live under his nose, Chao'er is the eldest son of Qingluo, and he will inherit the throne in the future, how can he be in the Great Jin?" “

When Xiangyun heard this, he stomped his feet regretfully, but he hummed unwillingly: "Caiwei, you can discuss with Nangong Yi, marry Mingzhu to our Chao'er, even if we go to Qingluo Kingdom, we will definitely treat Mingzhu as our own daughter, okay?" “

Cai Wei said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you don't have to work blindly, when they grow up, there will definitely be a chance to meet, if they can really see each other, I can't do that stick to beat the mandarin ducks, but, if the two of them don't match each other, even if we tie them together, it's just a couple of resentful couples, so ah, you still have to take care of yourself!" Wanyan Jingchen is young and handsome, there must be many women who miss him, you have to be a little longer! “

When Xiangyun heard this, he laughed, and said confidently: "I'm not afraid, I have confidence in him and himself." “

said, and told Cai Wei which noble girl in Qingluo Country loved him in the past few years, and which woman he didn't marry. At the end, he also said that other women are especially ke, Wanyan Jingchen rejected them, he didn't consciously quit, only the Jingyang County Lord, relying on himself to be the niece of the Queen Mother, ran in the palace all day long, followed by Wanyan Jingchen, Brother Jingchen is long, Brother Jingchen is short, like a dog skin plaster, no matter how you shake it off, you can't get rid of it, and Wanyan Jingchen is almost annoyed to death! ”

Cai Wei smiled: "It seems that Wanyan Jingchen is really very good to you, and I am relieved to see you like this." It is said that gold is easy to get, and it is difficult to find a confidant, you can marry such a man, you must cherish the blessing! ”

Xiangyun listened, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and said: "I will cherish him well, when I was young, I always saw my father spoil this aunt today, and Ming'er spoiled that Tongfang, and then married someone like that, I thought that men in this world were so unbearable, until I met him, I didn't know that there are still good men like him in this world, I can meet him in this life, marry him, I have no regrets in this life!" ”

"Yo, it's so sweet!"

Cai Wei laughed and teased, and said, "I heard that your brother inherited the position of Jian'an Hou, I don't know how your father's aunts and concubines were settled in the past?" ”

"It's all gone!"

Xiangyun said: "These people, in the past, did not add to my mother's blockage, especially that Aunt Hua, who used to be pampered, and also touched my mother's power to run the family, since my father died, they have all been driven out of my mother, and even the concubines and concubines they gave birth to have been driven out together, and the province is annoyed to look at it under the nose!" ”

Cai Wei also hates those concubines who invade other people's families, if the man she marries dares to raise a little wife, she will definitely click the negative man first, so that he will not be humane for the rest of his life, see how he is still romantic?

As for the concubine, if she is forced to follow a man, give her some silver taels, otherwise, she will be sold to the Qinglou, doesn't she like men, let her be pressed under the man forever!

When it was almost lunch, the palace people came to report, saying that the young lady of the Shen family was here, waiting outside the palace for the queen to summon her.

Chrysanthemum was invited by Cai Wei, she was afraid that Chrysanthemum would not be able to withstand the pressure of Lord Shen and his wife, so she went back to Bianzhou with that Li Sheng, so she made an appointment with her yesterday and asked her to come to the palace for a banquet today. With her purpose, chrysanthemums will naturally not go to Bianzhou!

After Chrysanthemum came in, she was taken aback when she saw Xiangyun, and felt as if she had seen this person somewhere, and Xiangyun was also secretly surprised, and had an indescribable sense of closeness to Chrysanthemum.

Cai Wei introduced them and took them to lunch.

Lunch is set up in a modern-designed dining room in Shouxian Palace, with bright windows, modern furniture and exotic flowers transplanted from the space, and a single sofa in fabric, which looks comfortable and elegant, and full of modernity.

Xiangyun and Chrysanthemum were attracted by the strange decoration of the house, and looked up at the chandelier on the roof of the shed, and at the fireplace for a while, like two curious babies.

When the food was served, they all returned to the table, both of them were senior foodies, and there was something delicious, and nothing could attract them.

Cai Wei deliberately made a lot of special snacks, among which the two of them liked the most were Qixing fish balls, bamboo skewer meat and fried eggplant boxes. The ingredients of the seven-star fish balls are relatively simple, it is the pure fish balls fried out of the phoenix scale fish meat, which is much more delicious than the modern hot pot that is full of flour, and the head worn on the bamboo skewer meat is the pork loin, after marinating with special seasonings, it is fried and sprinkled with cumin, and if you like to eat spicy, you can also sprinkle some chili noodles.

Xiangyun likes to eat fried eggplant boxes the most, the eggplant in the space is very large, and thick and symmetrical, the middle of the sequins is a thin meat filling, dipping thin noodles in the oil pan to fry, after coming out, the eggplant outside is tender and tender, mixed with the fragrance of the meat filling, take a bite, and leave a fragrant lip and tooth.

Of course, they are all fried foods, and it is inevitable that you will feel greasy after eating too much, Cai Wei has prepared juice, four or five flavors of juice, including cantaloupe, strawberry, watermelon, and hawthorn pineapple, which makes people appetite. There are also some special side dishes, such as cold lotus root slices and shrimp cakes, which are all dishes that Cai Wei used to eat in her previous life, and now she has moved here to make them.

The rest of the dishes are also delicious, full of a big table, chrysanthemum likes one of the small pickles chili dice, fresh chili pepper has red and green, cut into small dices with scissors, add ginger slices, salt and a small amount of sugar pickled out, red, green and green, with porridge and rice, when there is really no dish, you can also break the steamed bun, clip this to eat.

The most brilliant is the rose roll, a lot of roses are planted in the space, the rose is made of sauce, water and noodles are added, slightly awakened, and then made into a rose-like roll, put on the steamer, beautiful and delicious.

This is the most distinctive and the most delicious steamed bun that Chrysanthemum and Xiangyun have eaten so far.

"It's delicious, that's, is there more?"

Shen Juhua is glad that she has a vision, she came on an empty stomach, she didn't eat the breakfast left for her by her mother, and now her stomach can hold a few more fish balls, the taste is really good, she has been in the capital for so long, she has never eaten such a distinctive thing, it is really the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, no matter how good the food in the restaurant outside, it is not as good as the eleventh or twelve here.

"I'll leave a copy for you and Chrysanthemum, and when the time comes, you can bring it back and give it to your family."

Cai Wei saw that they all liked to eat, so she told Xiaozhi to go to the back kitchen, put a box of everything to eat, and keep it for them to take back to eat.

"Cai Wei, you are so good, then I will eat with an open stomach!"

After Chrysanthemum finished speaking, she lowered her head, took a rose roll, and struggled against the diced peppers, these small dishes looked very ordinary, not at all as delicate as the food in the palace, not even carved.

In fact, those dishes with exquisite workmanship just look good-looking, Cai Wei doesn't pay attention to those, those carved into the style of flowers and plants, and some dishes are still paintings, such exquisite food not only loses the original appearance of the ingredients, but also makes people unable to talk because they look too high-end.

The three of them ate very hard at the same time, and it took almost an hour to finish it...
