The next day, as soon as Concubine Jin returned to the palace, she turned to Jingren Palace.

"Sister!" Before entering the house, Concubine Jin looked shy, her face was flushed, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of spring love, calling Concubine Zhen from afar.

Concubine Zhen reluctantly swept a smile, greeted her, and saluted, "Sister is here." ”

The two entered the house together, and Chu Qiao could naturally find through Concubine Zhen's eyes that Concubine Jin went to sleep this time, which was different from Concubine Zhen, I am afraid that she really served the bed, and changed from a girl to a woman.

Thinking of Concubine Zhen's bed, it was she and Yun Mo who were mixed up, and I don't know if it will affect the future, Chu Qiao felt a little uneasy in his heart. Is it right or wrong to mix things up?

"How was my sister last night?" After sitting down, Concubine Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Is the emperor treating my sister well?" ”

Concubine Jin bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty...... It hurts my sister very much. ”

Concubine Zhen is naturally not stupid, she immediately heard the meaning of Concubine Jin's words, and her heart suddenly sank, she didn't know what posture she should put on at the moment to deal with Concubine Jin, should she be happy for her sister? Perhaps...... But why don't you feel any joy at all?

"That'...... My sister congratulates my sister first. Concubine Zhen smiled hard, her eyes looked at her hands, and a trace of tears gradually appeared in her eyes, but she was embarrassed to wipe it in front of Concubine Jin.

"Sister......" Concubine Jin naturally saw Concubine Zhen's expression in her eyes, and quickly reached out to hold Concubine Zhen's hand, "Sister, my sister can get the emperor's love, all because of my sister!" The emperor loves the house and Wu, so he can give his sister a little favor, and this little favor of my sister is not one in ten thousand compared to my sister! If my sister blames my sister for this, my sister will never see the emperor again! My sister is now the emperor's person, and she can be regarded as doing her part for the family, and if she dies in the future, she will not be shameless to face her ancestors. ”

What a concubine, she is really not such a simple person!

Chu Qiao sighed secretly in her heart, compared to Concubine Zhen's simplicity, Concubine Jin, who was two years older than her, was more mature and sophisticated! She said that everything she did was for the family, and even if Concubine Zhen had a grudge in her heart, she couldn't do anything to her. Moreover, she still retreated as advance, saying that she would never see the emperor again in the future, how could this be possible? The emperor's concubines, how can they not see the emperor? Moreover, the high-ranking concubines in the harem are only the two sisters and the queen.

When Concubine Zhen heard Concubine Jin say this, how could she still blame her sister? My sister went to bed, and she also went to the emperor to ask for grace, and if you want to blame, you have to blame yourself first.

"Where did my sister say? Sister is just ...... It's just that I'm blinded by the sand, and it's too late for my sister to be happy for my sister! How can you be angry with your sister? Concubine Zhen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Sister, don't be careful, we two sisters have been blessed with holy grace, we should do our best to serve the emperor, my sister is really happy for my sister!" ”

"Hey......" Concubine Jin sighed deeply, sat down beside Concubine Zhen, and gently grabbed Concubine Zhen's shoulder, "My sister is also a woman, how can I not know my sister's thoughts?" It is also appropriate for my sister to be angry with my sister, but we as women, especially women who are emperors, will have to face these sooner or later, sister...... At least the emperor treats you differently, and when you grow up, the emperor will naturally only love your sister alone. ”

"Well, sister, I know." Concubine Zhen leaned on Concubine Jin's arms, at least the person the emperor loved was her sister and no one else, so it was okay......

On the same day, the emperor summoned Concubine Zhen to accompany her, and when Concubine Zhen came out of the emperor's palace and sat in a small sedan chair, she already had a sweet smile on her face.

As for what happened between them, Chu Qiao said that he was cultivating in "meditation", and he didn't know at all!

In Kunning Palace, Longyu's eyes were red, and he was lying on the bed crying.

"Niangniang, you have to take care of the phoenix body!" The palace maid in charge on the side persuaded in a low voice, "Even if they can confuse the emperor now, how can they compare with you?" You are the master of this harem! ”

"When did they regard this palace as the master of this harem?!" Longyu said hatefully, "These two little sluts, relying on the emperor's favor on them, have long stopped taking this palace in their eyes!" Especially that concubine, it was not enough for her to confuse the emperor, and she thought that Fang Er sent the little slut of Concubine Jin to the emperor's dragon bed! I don't know shame! ”

The palace maid complained bitterly in her heart, Zhen Concubine Jin and Concubine are all concubines of the emperor, and it is a matter of course to wait for the emperor, there is really no reason for you to be angry!

"Niangniang, you are angry in your heart, you can't send it to the emperor, you can't send it to Lafayette, can't you still send it to them?" The palace maid in charge saw that Longyu was holding a large celadon vase and was about to start falling, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and whispered in Longyu's ear, "The harem is your master, and Concubine Zhen is in the limelight, but Concubine Jin is not favored by the emperor, and the emperor let her sleep because of Concubine Zhen, why don't we ......"

Longyu was stunned for a moment, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes, "You're right, this palace remediates the harem, even the emperor can't say anything, Concubine Zhen is the emperor's heart, and the palace will let her go for the time being...... As for Concubine Jin...... Come on, Xuan Jin Concubine Yu Garden to enjoy the flowers! ”

When the will arrived, Concubine Jin was still talking with Concubine Zhen in Jingren Palace, seeing Concubine Zhen coming back from the emperor, the previous gloom had been swept away, and she also put her mind at ease, saying some flattering words to make Concubine Zhen happy, when the big palace maid in Concubine Jin's palace hurriedly came to announce the queen's decree, Concubine Jin's expression suddenly became panicked.

"Why did the queen announce that I would go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers at this time?" Concubine Jin said uneasily.

"Little master, the queen's decree can't be violated, let's go quickly!" The palace maid hurriedly said, "Just now, the father-in-law in charge of the queen's side came to announce the decree, it can't be wrong, we can't go late, or ......."

"Yes." Concubine Jin quickly stood up and tidied up her clothes in a panic, "I...... Is it going like that? ”

"That's good." The big palace maid hurriedly came up to help Concubine Jin sort out her clothes, "The little master should hurry up, I can't delay any longer." ”

"Wait." Seeing Concubine Jin's panicked appearance, Concubine Zhen was a little unbearable, "Sister, let me go with you, you went to bed last night, and the queen will call you today, I'm afraid that the queen will ...... you."

Concubine Jin was originally worried about this, but when she heard Concubine Zhen say this, her face showed a trace of bitterness, "This harem queen is the biggest, and there is Lafayette behind her, we can't afford to offend, sister, you still don't want to go with me...... If...... If something happens to me, I beg my sister to read it for the sake of our sisters, and beg the emperor to save my sister's life, okay? ”

"Sister!" Concubine Zhen stepped forward and held Concubine Jin's hand, "Sister will be fine, let me accompany you!" ”

"The queen didn't declare the queen concubine, if the queen concubine also followed, maybe she just gave the queen a handle, maybe she will blame the two little masters for not taking the queen's words in their eyes." After all, the big palace maid in the palace of Jin Concubine has more experience, no more than the two concubine sisters who have just entered the palace, and hurriedly reminded, "Concubine Zhen, if you really care about our little master, please do what the little master says, if the queen is really embarrassed by our little master, only the emperor can save her!" ”

Concubine Zhen nodded tearfully, "Sister, I'm going to see the emperor!" ”

Concubine Jin also wiped a handful of tears and went to the imperial garden with a nervous heart.

From afar, Concubine Jin saw Longyu sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, with a few boxes of snacks next to him, and a face that didn't look very beautiful was as cold as ice.

Seeing Concubine Jin coming over with the palace maid, she was just about to kneel down, but she smashed the tea bowl in her hand at the feet of Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jin knelt like this, she was bound to kneel on the broken tea bowl!

But Concubine Jin's kneeling action has already been made, and there is no reason to stand up again, this standing up, that is, the following offense. So, Concubine Jin could only look at the pile of broken porcelain, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and knelt down.

Longyu sneered and looked at Concubine Jin who was kneeling on the broken porcelain, her face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat faintly broke out on her forehead, and under her knees, a flush spread, mixed with tea, which looked a little shocking.

"Concubine...... Ever seen...... The queen mother ......" Concubine Jin trembled and said goodbye, two tears had fallen in her eyes, and she only begged Longyu to let her go and let her get up. The pain of the broken porcelain cutting through her skin under her knee made her tremble, and she almost couldn't keep her kneeling position and lay on the ground.

The big palace maid kneeling on the side couldn't bear to look away, thinking that she could delay until the emperor came over, but she didn't expect the queen to have a seizure as soon as she came!

Longyu didn't say a word, and he didn't let Concubine Jin get up, the blood under Concubine Jin's knees became more and more, and the whole person trembled and arched her waist, and tears kept falling.

"Are you guilty?!" After a while, Longyu's voice sounded.

"The concubine is guilty." Concubine Jin didn't dare to keep her mouth shut, although she really didn't know where her fault was, but now that she didn't admit her guilt, she knew that she would be even worse.

"Oh? Then where does your sin come from? Longyu sneered, took a bowl of new tea from the palace maid next to him, and asked unhurriedly.

"Concubine...... Concubines...... The concubine is late, and she begs the queen for forgiveness! Concubine Jin said obediently, the only "crime" she could think of was probably only this.

"After you went to bed last night, according to the rules of your ancestors, you should have come to Kunning Palace to formally meet the palace, but not only did you not come, but the palace kindly announced that you would accompany the palace to enjoy the flowers, and you have not come for a long time, you are guilty of bullying the king! Do you understand?! Longyu picked up the queen's shelf and said sharply.

Concubine Jin was so frightened by the sentence "The crime of bullying the king" that she fell to the ground, crying, "The concubine is guilty!" Ask the queen for forgiveness! ”

Concubine Jin secretly complained in her heart, the queen really came for herself! In fact, since the previous dynasty, many rules in the palace have begun to be simplified, even when the first emperor was there, the rules for the concubines to meet the queen were not implemented step by step. In this dynasty, the emperor got married, in addition to the queen, he also canonized two concubines, and after Concubine Zhen went to bed, she did not go to see the queen, so this rule is useless.

Now that Longyu has moved out of this rule, it is obviously to find fault!

"This palace wants to forgive your sins, but where are the ancestral rules!" Longyu said coldly, "Since you are guilty, you must not go unpunished, you say, how should this palace punish you?" ”

When Concubine Jin heard this, her soul was about to be scared away, and she even kowtowed, but she couldn't care about the pain in her knees, and cried, "Niangniang, I think of the first offense of the concubine, ask for forgiveness!" ”

"Hmph, it seems that you don't know what you are guilty of! Pull it down and hit ten boards! Longyu paused his teacup heavily and said expressionlessly.

Immediately, two strong execution eunuchs next to him stepped forward, and wanted to twist Jin Concubine's arm and go out, the torture bench next to him had been set up, and the wide board frightened Jin Concubine's face like earth, and she begged for mercy.

Seeing this, the eldest palace maid next to Concubine Jin could only bite the bullet and beg for mercy from Longyu, "Queen Mother, you are merciful and merciful, spare the little master!" The little master is weak, and if he goes down this board, he will take the life of the little master! ”

Long Yufeng's eyes opened, and the cold light in his eyes swept over the body of the big palace maid, "Dog minion, are you sarcastic about the cruel mind of this palace?" It's just ten boards, and the palace has already opened the grace, so it will take the life of your little master?! Since you, a dog slave, protect your little master like this, then this palace will also reward you with ten boards, so that your master and servant can share weal and woe! ”

Immediately, another eunuch came up, directly dragged the big palace maid out, pressed her to the ground, and began to beat.

"Bang!"

The board fell on the bodies of the master and servant of Concubine Jin, and there was a muffled sound, Concubine Jin suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe, her hair was dazed, and the whole person was going to faint, and then, the sharp pain came from her body, and she didn't even have the strength to cry in pain.

Although Concubine Jin is not a golden branch and jade leaf, she has also been pampered since she was a child, when did she suffer such torture? But when the three boards went down, there was no sound and he fainted.

"Niangniang, Concubine Jin fainted." The execution eunuch hurriedly came over to ask for an order, after all, Concubine Jin's status is not low!

"It's useless!" Longyu still felt that she was not relieved enough, she didn't hear Concubine Jin's heart-rending cry, and she couldn't hold the breath in her heart! "Wake up with water and continue the execution!"

"Whoa-" There was a sound of water, and Concubine Jin woke up under the stimulation of the cold water, her body was already numb with pain, and she lay on the torture bench weakly, looking at her own blood mixed in the water under the torture bench, and a monstrous hatred rose in her heart!

Longyu didn't dare to attack his sister Zhen Concubine, so she made herself a punching bag, she put her hatred for Zhen Concubine on herself! Why, why are you the fish on the chopping board, and you can only be slaughtered?!

What about my sister? Why hasn't she invited the emperor yet?! Did she do it on purpose? Did she deliberately want to borrow the queen's hand to punish herself for sharing the emperor's favor?! What a good sister......

There was another muffled sound, a sharp pain hit, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of her throat, is she going to die? ……

"If I die, I will become a ghost and come back to collect debts!" Concubine Jin roared in her heart, "Yehenara clan, and my good sister, I will definitely ask you for this debt!" If I don't die, I will let you taste what it is better to die than to die! ”

Just when Concubine Jin was about to despair, a "The emperor arrived" sounded in her ears, she was about to lose consciousness, but the "Emperor arrived" pulled her soul back, she tried hard to raise her head, looking in the direction where the voice came, she couldn't see clearly, she could only vaguely see a touch of bright yellow hurriedly coming from the imperial garden, and a roar with anger followed, "Stop!" ”

Concubine Jin knew that her suffering was finally coming to an end.

"Long live the emperor, long live long live!" The voice of Long Live Shanhu sounded, Concubine Jin worked hard to support it, she wanted to hear with her own ears how the emperor punished that evil woman, she wanted to see the fate of that evil woman with her own eyes!

"What's going on?!" It was the emperor's voice, and he was questioning Longyu.

Longyu replied, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Jin has committed a crime, and there are no concubines, and the concubines can only punish her a little, so that she knows the difference between superiority and inferiority." Longyu's voice was no longer as arrogant as it was just now, with a hint of caution and panic. Indeed, when she saw the angry emperor at this moment, and Concubine Zhen who was following behind the emperor, she was a little panicked, she didn't expect Concubine Zhen to move the emperor so soon! This slut!

"Sister!" Concubine Zhen had already seen Concubine Jin lying on the torture bench and couldn't see whether she was alive or dead, so she cried and pounced on it, shaking Concubine Jin, "Sister, how are you?!" Sister, wake up, don't scare me! ”

Concubine Jin sneered in her heart, the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion, right? Do you want to show your "kindness" in front of the emperor?

"Sister...... My sister thought it was ...... I'll never see you again...... I can't see the emperor's ......" said, Concubine Jin raised her head hard, and looked at the emperor with a pair of eyes full of tears, pitiful.

Even Chu Qiao was a little unbearable when he saw this miserable appearance of Concubine Jin, and said in his heart, he didn't expect that the cowardly and timid Longyu in history would have such a vicious attack! If the emperor comes over a little later, Concubine Jin's life is really uncertain whether she can save it or not! At that time, even if the emperor is angry, it is impossible to really take Longyu well, Longyu's identity is her best umbrella!

Sure enough, when the emperor saw Concubine Jin's appearance, he became even more angry, gritted his teeth and looked at Longyu, "Empress, Concubine Jin has just entered the palace, even if the etiquette is not careful, you shouldn't use such a big punishment!" Are you going to turn my harem into a cool hell?! ”

Longyu hurriedly knelt down, "The emperor is angry, the concubine is just a small punishment, I didn't expect Concubine Jin to be like this because she is weak, and the concubine will definitely change in the future!" ”

"You-" The emperor raised his hand, seeing that the slap was about to fall on Longyu's face, the big eunuch behind him immediately stepped forward and persuaded, "The emperor is angry, even if the queen has a thousand mistakes, the phoenix body is delicate, and she can't beat it!" ”

This persuasion persuaded the emperor to "wake up" and slapped the queen's face, didn't even the Lafayette's face follow suit?

As soon as he thought of Lafayette, the emperor's hand was slowly lowered, and his face was helpless and suppressed.

Concubine Jin saw the emperor's hand down, and there was a touch of imperceptible anger and disappointment in her eyes, Concubine Zhen only cried and didn't see it, but Chu Qiao saw it through Concubine Zhen's eyes, and that look made Chu Qiao feel cold.

"The queen is immoral, and Kunning Palace is grounded for one month!" The Emperor finally spoke.

Long Yu raised his head in amazement and looked at the emperor. He just punished a small palace concubine, and the emperor actually disregarded Lafayette's face and banned his feet!

Concubine Zhen was also stunned, her sister lost half her life, and the queen was just grounded! It's not fair!

Only Concubine Jin had a blank face, and when the emperor put down his hand, she guessed the result, in the eyes of the emperor, she was just an insignificant woman, and he would never offend the queen and Lafayette because of himself! His country is all given by Lafayette, what else can he do?!

Concubine Zhen was in tears, and even the gaze that made Chu Qiao look at the emperor became blurry, "Your Majesty ......" Concubine Zhen's voice was filled with grievance and disappointment, the emperor turned his head and did not look at Concubine Zhen, he also had his own helplessness.

"Zhen'er, take Concubine Jin back, let the hospital treat it well, don't leave any root causes." The emperor just turned his back to Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin and ordered, "Give Concubine Jin a hundred years of ginseng and Tianshan Snow Lotus, and take care of it!" ”

Concubine Jin smiled bitterly, she also had to thank the emperor for the reward.

She now understands that this person is not her husband, but the emperor.

Concubine Jin suffered this disaster, lying in bed for three months, can barely struggle to get up, although Concubine Zhen came to visit her every day, but her heart was already a cold, only as a sister to see her own jokes. However, every time she saw Concubine Zhen, she still had a gentle smile on her face, and those resentments were hidden deep in her eyes and no longer revealed.

Only Chu Qiao knew that that night, the emperor summoned Concubine Zhen to sleep, hugged Concubine Zhen on the dragon bed, slowly shed two lines of tears, and said sorry vigorously, "Zhen'er, I'm useless......

Concubine Zhen, who originally had resentment and disappointment with the emperor, was suddenly conquered by the man's tears, and instead went to comfort the emperor.

"Zhen'er, I will definitely protect you! Never let anyone hurt you! The emperor swore and said, raised his palms, and wanted to swear, but was stopped by Concubine Zhen, "Your Majesty, Zhen'er believes in you!" ”

Chu Qiao sighed and shook his head, Emperor, Emperor, you still overestimate yourself! You can't protect Concubine Zhen at all! You can't even protect yourself.

The days passed like this, with Longyu being grounded and Concubine Jin being punished, the harem stopped for a while, and Longyu didn't trouble going to Concubine Zhen again.

However, to Chu Qiao's surprise, the Lafayette, who had always had a bad temper, knew that the queen was grounded, and there was no movement! It's not like her style......

Later, Chu Qiao silently calculated the time in his heart, and suddenly realized that these days, the war outside is inextricably fighting, and it is cutting land, opening ports, and losing money, I am afraid that this Lafayette is also very worried, so he has no leisure to take care of the trivial matters of the harem.

In a flash, more than a year has passed, Lafayette's birthday, taking this opportunity, the emperor promoted the position of Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin, and they finally became "concubines". Originally, the emperor only planned to promote the position of Concubine Zhen, but at Concubine Zhen's hard request, her sister Concubine Jin was also promoted to "Concubine Jin" with her.

After more than a year, Concubine Zhen has become more and more beautiful and moving, it seems that even if Yun Mo and Jiu Cake make a move, they can't stop the emperor's "love" for Concubine Zhen, and Chu Qiao doesn't plan to hinder the lovers anymore, because their time is running out. And after more than a year of cultivation, Chu Qiao can completely close her senses, even if it is Concubine Zhen and the emperor, it will have no effect on her.

Of course, even Chu Qiao knew that Concubine Zhen was about to cook with the emperor, how could others not have this awareness?!

Therefore, Concubine Jin appeared in the queen's Kunning Palace.

When he saw this woman who should hate herself to say goodbye with a flattering smile, Longyu felt a trace of vigilance in his heart. Concubine Jin hasn't set foot in Kunning Palace for more than a year, and now she suddenly came to say goodbye, what is the purpose?

"The queen is auspicious!" Concubine Jin knelt in front of Longyu decently.

Longyu had no choice but to beckon, "No courtesy." ”

"It's been a long time since I've talked to my mother, and now a concubine came to say hello to my mother, and my mother is blessed with Jin'an!" Concubine Jin is another salute.

Longyu just smiled coldly, for more than a year, he has been equivalent to staying in the cold palace, the original ancestor rule, every month fifteenth, the emperor must stay in Kunning Palace, this is the queen's unique honor, but since the incident of Concubine Jin, the emperor has never set foot in Kunning Palace, which makes Longyu regret it, and even gave her the palace maid who gave her bad ideas.

So now, although she doesn't want to see Concubine Jin, she is very restrained and doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

"Are you here to see Hongu's jokes? The way this palace is now, what can we talk about?! Longyu's smile without temperature, with hatred, she really wanted to beat this little slut again! She only hated that she didn't kill Concubine Jin immediately!

"Don't be angry, the concubine is here, she is really asking for peace to her mother, and there is a big gift for her mother!" Concubine Jin said with a smile, for more than a year, she has become more and more cautious, and her well-behaved appearance makes the emperor can't help but treat her differently, and there are always a few days a month when she flips her brand.

"A big gift? I want to see what you can give to him! Longyu slanted at Concubine Jin, "This palace advises you not to play any tricks, the emperor only gently put down the palace at the beginning, do you think the emperor will punish this palace for you?" ”

"The emperor naturally will not be angry with Niangniang for his concubines, Niangniang is naturally the person the emperor values the most." Concubine Jin said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "However, Niangniang, you will definitely be interested in this great gift given to you by your concubine." ”

------Off topic------

Yes...... Is it the rhythm of going farther and farther on the road of Gongdou? Well, no, we'll find out in the next chapter.
