Qiwen judged the situation and felt that the emperor was in charge at this moment, and she had to wait for him to express her position first, and for the sake of the face of the emperor, she couldn't rush to kneel down and ask for guilt, so she didn't say anything.

The queen was busy playing a round: "Since I saw Miss Qiwen today, I just said it, I hope the girl will pay attention next time." ”

Qiwen gave a salute at this time, and the rules responded: "Follow the teachings of the queen's mother." ”

The emperor glanced at Concubine Ning and said coldly: "Since there is such a thing, how can you just say one thing?" You should always act according to the rules of the palace, and the people in front of the palace should not break the rules. In my opinion, let's punish the lights at night. ”

The queen and Concubine Ning were both stunned. There are many stone palace lamps on the main roads of the harem, and it is necessary to add lamp oil several times at night, this work is the same as knocking on the bell and raising the bell, usually by the rough palace people are responsible, and when there are superior palace people who are punished, they will be handed over to the punished. Adding lights to the night is a hard job of staying up late and being cold, and this punishment is not heavy.

The queen, Concubine Ning and the rest of the surrounding people couldn't help but wonder, the emperor actually sentenced the punishment lightly, could it be that the previous rumors about how this girl was favored were all false?

Qiwen soon became the focus of everyone's attention again, her face did not change, and she knelt down and responded: "The slave and maid have been, may the lord punish her." ”

The matter seemed to have been settled, and the emperor did not allow anyone to say anything more, but instead chatted with the empress, and when he had finished the first cup of tea, he took his leave.

Before going out, he passed in front of Concubine Ning, glanced at her and sneered: "If you want to sue next time, it's better to sue Empress Taishang directly." ”

If the words are not clear, maybe Concubine Ning will think that he sentenced her to give her a long face. Sure enough, Concubine Ning's face changed greatly after hearing this, and the emperor didn't stay any longer, and walked out directly.

Concubine Ning hurriedly said goodbye to the queen, almost trotted after the emperor and came out, explaining again and again: "Your Majesty, the emperor, you listen to the concubine, the concubine ...... It's just a moment of confusion, no, just a casual mention, and it's definitely not to find the queen to complain. ”

The emperor didn't care, just strode forward, and waited until he stepped out of the Kunyu Gate and left the boundary of Kunyu Palace, then he stopped and turned around, and said to Concubine Ning, who was panting after her skirt: "I know that I have wronged you by letting you enter the palace for most of the year and stay alone in the empty boudoir, so I decreed that you will be demoted to a female official, and you will be released from the palace next year, and then find a hundred households for you as a husband in the Jinyi Guard, how about it?" ”

Concubine Ning was shocked, regardless of the gate of Kunyu Palace, knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears: "Ask the emperor for mercy, the concubines don't dare anymore, and they will be cautious in their words and deeds in the future." Never dare to be disrespectful to Miss Qiwen again. Ask the emperor to forgive the concubines! ”

This reaction was not at all unexpected, and the emperor couldn't help but sneer and forced him to take a step forward: "Look at what you mean, do you think I am belittling you by this arrangement?" In all fairness, with your background, if you rely on your family as the main marriage match, can you climb to the top of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei? You still don't look down on it like this now, it's just that your heart is high.

Being a man is important to know yourself, you think that it is a grievance to not be favored, why don't you want to think about it, if you are not elected to the palace, how much better can the result be than now? Nowadays, disasters and wars are frequent, just a small family like your family, you may be sold to people in half a year, you are well supported in the palace, but you are still not satisfied! ”

This woman has been making small movements since she entered the palace, relying on him to be too lazy to take care of it, and the queen is easy to talk to, and she is becoming more and more unscrupulous. The emperor was a little curious, how high did she expect? Shouldn't it even squeeze out the queen to be the main palace, give birth to the prince and become the queen mother, and even manipulate him to control the power?

What a fearless person is the ignorant!

In front of him is a spacious corridor, and it is the gate of Kunyu Palace, there are many palace maids and officials, and the emperor has an attack on Master Ning on the spot in this kind of place, that is, he stepped on her face on the ground, and it was clear that he did not plan to leave her a little face. People don't know where to put their eyes.

The emperor glanced at Qiwen and saw that she was just standing with her eyes and nose and nose in order, and did not react to this matter at all. Suddenly felt that his actions were a bit down, he was not all out of the mentality of being angry for Qiwen, and he couldn't see the ignorant face of the little people, so he couldn't help but want to vent a few words. When I got back to my senses, I felt very bored.

It's time to make a break for these bad things. With today's experience, there will never be any more short-sighted little people in the harem who trouble her.

Concubine Ning wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief in her hand, and pleaded guilty again and again during the mourning period, and then raised her head and said: "The concubine knows that she has done something wrong this time, but she doesn't know what she did badly in the past, and she can't get into the eyes of the emperor for a long time?" The concubine dared to ask the emperor to make it clear that what Miss Qiwen could do, the concubine could also do. Concubines are not just for favor, but for ...... I want to do my best to serve the emperor. ”

She just doesn't understand, she doesn't lose to her in terms of beauty, and the rest is missing, whether it is poetry and songs, playing the piano and singing, or being gentle and considerate, she can learn it herself.

The emperor felt powerless, and laughed angrily: "I came to sue you, she can do it, you can't do any of it, and the things you have done are also something she can't do." You are one heaven and one earth, and you don't want to compare with her in your life. ”

He didn't have the strength to entangle with her more, so he turned around and said: "Go back and pass on my words to those two servants, whoever wants to go out of the three of you can allow it, and the marriage dowry will never be wronged by you, as long as you decide, I will not delay you for a day." ”

With that, he strode away. The draft was not what he was willing to do at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that he should have let these women out a long time ago, and if it was a few months earlier, He Xin'er might be able to pick up a life.

As for Queen Taishang's nagging, he didn't want to deal with it this time. Yuan Ying's battle with him became more and more anxious, and the contradiction with this old lady was unavoidable. Anyway, if he is obedient and obedient, he may not be able to please her.

The subordinates followed closely behind, and when they turned a corner and walked into the clean passage, the emperor turned around and ordered several attendants other than Qiwen: "You all stand down." ”

The chamberlains bowed and stopped, and the emperor continued to walk with Qiwen.

"What do you think?" The Emperor asked.

Qiwen's face was a little ignorant: "I'm flattered." In fact, I don't think I'm so much better than Concubine Ning. ”

The emperor looked at her for a while before he said: "You even feel guilty for stuffing a worm into Cuiqiao, she has a life in her hand, and she continues to compete for favor every day." ”

The cause of He Cairen's death was almost known to everyone in the palace because he was instigated by Concubine Ning to curry favor with the emperor. Concubine Ning obviously didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about this, and she seemed to be complacent.

Qiwen suddenly realized, so she is really kind!

When the emperor looked at her like this, he only felt ridiculous. Concubine Ning still thinks that she "can do the same", is he really a person who can make his bones crispy when he sees a woman? Just talking about Qiwen's words about the government this afternoon, let alone Concubine Ning, she may not be able to understand it.

"Do you think that what I just said was too ruthless?" The emperor asked. People in love will inevitably suspect that they are not good in front of their lovers.

Qiwen shook her head: "You can say these words to her, it looks like you don't save face, but in fact, you give a big face, you are the emperor, if you don't think about her, and treat her as a serious person, you can send her down at will according to your own preferences, and you don't have to say a word to her." ”

I just don't know if Concubine Ning can really listen to her heart. Villains are afraid of power and morality, and some people are really not worthy of being treated sincerely by others.

"You look ruthless on your face, but in fact, you are more kind and kind than anyone else." Qiwen sighed from the bottom of her heart, especially much better than the smiling Hutan King.

The emperor was greatly impressed by this. It turns out that he is still a kind and kind person. She knows herself better than others, and her evaluation of herself is also the most objective and pertinent.

The two of them were silent for a while, and suddenly realized at the same time: Aren't we holding each other's stinky feet and being complacent? couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even felt that they had a tacit understanding with each other - I don't want to flaunt that I am nobler than anyone, but I ask you and me to smell the same.

"Punish you, because it is always difficult for the queen to be tough in charge of the palace, and I have always asked her to do business, and it is not good to ask her to show favoritism to her face." The emperor explained.

"I know." Qiwen expressed understanding on the surface, but also felt that if he explained a few more words only for this purpose, saying that she was drunk because of him, it didn't make sense, it seemed that he had other unstated plans, what would it be?

The emperor tilted his head to look at her: "Not angry? ”

This action was made by a person like him who was stone-carved and dignified, and it looked even more cute and had a nosebleed, and Qiwen smiled: "Where can I be the one who is angry about such a trivial matter?" Did you really think of me as a petty person after two faux pas the day before yesterday? "It's all about the big things of principle that make her angry, okay?

The emperor smiled slightly: "You can go back and rest, you don't have to come to the duty tomorrow, have a good rest for the day, and then go to the night." ”

Qiwen flickered her eyes and looked at him: "What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" and refuses to say it. ”

The emperor did not deny it, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Since you know that I am deliberately playing tricks, what else do you ask?" With that, he turned around and left.

Qiwen followed up again and said, "Master, stay behind...... Well, I've got something for you. ”

When the emperor saw her take something out of his arms, he blushed slightly, and handed it up with both hands, and he took it and saw that it was a gourd-shaped purse with royal blue beads.

He guessed what she meant, secretly laughed, and deliberately took it into his arms quietly: "If you bother me, I will accept it." ”

"Hey......" Qiwen saw that he was leaving again, and her face was full of embarrassment, "Can you ...... Give that back to me? ”

I didn't mention it for most of the day, and the emperor thought that she had forgotten or acquiesced, so he deliberately put on a straight face and said, "What else?" It's obviously mine, did I say I'll give it to you? If you take it and don't pay it back, it's a sin. ”

Qiwen's eyebrows were tightly frowned into the word "child": "How can you say that?" It's just a veil. ”

"Yes, it's just a veil, so why do you have to ask for it back?" The emperor hit a rake.

Qiwen was so anxious that she almost paused: "After all, that's the first thing I got from you, and I still want to keep it...... Can't I go back and embroider those two words on other handkerchiefs for you? ”

"What two words?" The emperor folded his arms, his face flushed and his heart beat knowingly.

In the face of this righteous and awe-inspiring deceit, Qiwen really had nothing to do, and gave up arrogantly, but she was reluctant, so she had to plead with a bitter face: "I will give you everything else you want, and I don't want the rest of the rewards, so you can give me the veil." ”

"Joke," the emperor snorted coldly, and said intentionally, "You are all mine, what else can I negotiate with me", and felt that it was too explicit and did not suit his style, so he said: "Anyway, I won't give it to you, you have the ability to steal and rob it yourself?" ”

As he spoke, he deliberately reached into his arms, took out the white silk handkerchief and the purse he had just put in, and fiddled with it in his hand as if nothing had happened, and when Qiwen's eyes lit up and clearly showed that he wanted to grab it, he took the silk handkerchief back into his arms again, and looked at her defiantly with his hands in his hands.

A person who is an emperor can be a scoundrel to this point, Qiwen glared at him angrily for a while, didn't say a word, didn't give a salute, turned his head and walked away quickly.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh and looked down at the purse in his hand. According to her, she slept until it was dark yesterday and woke up, which she must have done overnight last night.

The purse is exquisitely made and the stitches are delicate, but the shiny rice beads on it are a little familiar, as if they were removed from a piece of jewelry that she gave her newly, and this small square of royal blue satin seems to be the lining of the jewelry box......

He sighed silently, Concubine Ning and the others wore silk and satin all day long, ate fragrant and spicy food, and often complained that the share was not as good as the previous concubine, and she wanted to make him a gadget, but she only had this material at hand. Although it is necessary to save money now, and it is inconvenient to give her too much dignity, she should not be wronged like this.

He looked up again in the direction where Qiwen was walking, and muttered in his heart: That girl shouldn't be angry and won't come to the night tomorrow night......
