On the way back to the palace, Qin Yuan suddenly met a palace maid with a plate of jewelry, and at the moment of rubbing shoulders, the palace maid took the initiative to bump into her body, the jewelry fell to the ground, it was broken and damaged, and the palace maid was frightened, "Oh my God, my God, what should I do?" ”

Qin Yuan looked at the palace maid, knowing that she didn't mean well, she left without asking, and returned to the Jinhua Palace, Aunt Lan said, "Master, you just ignored the palace maid, is it okay to do this?" ”

Qin Yuan said lightly, "She deliberately bumped into me, if I ignore her again, I will fall for her", then Zhang Dehai came in and said, "Master, Yixiang Palace sent someone to say, Concubine Wan Niangniang invited you to come over." ”

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth rose indifferently, it seemed that the person who was plotting against her behind her surfaced, Qin Yuan glanced at Zhang Dehai, and followed the waiter.

When she arrived at Yixiang Palace, Concubine Wan sat on the chair majestically, and Qin Yuan saluted, "Concubine to Concubine Wan's mother." Concubine Wan was instantly furious, "Concubine Hui, you are so bold!" Dare to knock over the Chiba gold peony jewelry in the main palace, do you know how precious this set of jewelry is? ”

Qin Yuan slowly straightened up and said lightly, "The jewelry is broken, and Concubine Wan will ask the Shanggong Bureau to build a set again, why be so angry?" ”

Concubine Wan's face became more and more ugly after hearing this, "This set of Chiba gold peony jewelry was given to the palace by the emperor, can you afford the jewelry, can you afford the emperor's heart for the palace?" Qin Yuan smiled indifferently, "The concubine knows that Concubine Wan is favored, but your palace maid walks without looking at people and bumps into the concubine, Concubine Wan Niangniang does not punish your palace maid, but starts a fire on the concubine." ”

Concubine Wan was extremely displeased, and slapped the table and said, "Presumptuous! According to your words, it was the maid of the palace who lied to you? ”

Qin Yuan suddenly sneered and smiled, "This concubine can go and ask your palace maid, why bother to ask the concubine." ”

Concubine Wan looked at Qin Yuan's unconvinced appearance, and suddenly became even more angry, at this time Xiuzhu walked in, came to Concubine Wan's side and whispered something, the corners of Concubine Wan's mouth turned smug after hearing this, and then said bitterly, "Tut, Concubine Hui is really hearted, she actually sent someone to the imperial study to invite the emperor, but it's really pitiful, the emperor not only came, but also reprimanded Zhang Dehai, this Zhang Dehai doesn't have a long memory after receiving those ten boards." ”

Qin Yuan's face did not change, but her heart was cold, she didn't expect Qing Cang to ignore it, Concubine Wan immediately shouted loudly, "Be bold and benefit your concubine!" You think Hongu has no temper, don't you? He also sent someone to the emperor to complain, and went to the courtyard to kneel for the palace until he admitted his mistake! Qin Yuan immediately turned angry, "How can Concubine Wan condemn concubines indiscriminately." Concubine Wan smiled indifferently, "Concubine Hui, this palace is indiscriminate, how can you endure this palace?" Why don't you go and kneel! At the end of the words, Concubine Wan roared angrily.

Although Qin Yuan was unconvinced, she still got up and walked to the courtyard to kneel, although Aunt Lan persuaded her, but Qin Yuan insisted on kneeling, she now realized that if she wanted to live a good life in this deep palace, if she didn't hold power, she would only be bullied.

For Qing Cang, she is just a vase, and those words of love are all coaxing her to be happy! For his sake, he didn't tell his father everything about Concubine Ru, and now it seems that he is really self-inflicted! The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth couldn't help but glow with resentment. In Qing Cang's eyes, she was just a pastime, did he think that without his grace, she would not be able to live? Qin Yuan clenched her fists and swore in her heart: I, Qin Yuan, will always remember this day!

Qin Yuan knelt for about half an hour, Qin Yuan's hands and feet were cold in the spring breeze, and the cold and hard ground made Qin Yuan's knees hurt, Aunt Lan was very worried, "Why didn't the master resist, you are pregnant now, how can you resist this crime?" ”

Qin Yuan still knelt there and didn't speak, she knew that if she resisted, it would be even more unclear, Zhang Dehai must be thinking of a way outside, she couldn't admit that there was no need to be guilty, if that was the case, Concubine Wan would not give up.

At this time, I only heard the eunuch preach, "The Queen Mother is married to ......", the Queen Mother hurriedly entered the courtyard, and was very surprised to see Qin Yuan kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said, "Why is Yuan'er kneeling here?" ”

Qin Yuan looked up at the Queen Mother, and then saw Zhang Dehai behind the Queen Mother, and said lightly, "Concubine Wan Palace Maid held a set of gold peony jewelry from the emperor, and hit the concubine without looking at the road, the jewelry fell to the ground and shattered, Concubine Wan insisted that the concubine deliberately hit the palace maid, so she punished the concubine to kneel here until she confessed her mistake, how could the concubine confess if she didn't do it, and hoped that the Queen Mother would make the decision for the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother was angry when she heard this, "How can this be reasonable, you are now in charge of Yonghua Palace, which is equivalent to the master of Yonghua Palace, how can she treat you like this, get up quickly, and mourn the family to make decisions for you." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." , Qin Yuan slowly got up. At this time, Concubine Wan walked out of the house, and when she saw Qin Yuan getting up, her face was extremely unhappy, "Did this palace let you get up?" What happened to Concubine Hui? ”

The Queen Mother was extremely unhappy at this time, "It was the mourning family who asked her to get up." Concubine Wan smiled and saluted the Queen Mother, "The concubine greets the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Wan and didn't appreciate it, "Hmph, Concubine Wan, you are too presumptuous, punish Concubine Hui without asking, what kind of system is this?" Concubine Wan was not afraid, she still smiled, "The palace maids of the concubines have all pointed out that they are concubines of Huigui, and there is anything suspicious to discuss." ”

"Can you believe the words of the palace maid?"

"The concubine just gave her a hundred guts, and she didn't dare to break the things in the palace, if it wasn't intentional by Concubine Hui, who could it be? Even the emperor doesn't want to care, the queen mother, it's better to leave it alone. ”

These words made Qin Yuan a little surprised, she didn't expect Concubine Wan to dare to speak like this to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was angry, "Presumptuous! You are so uneducated to talk to the mourning family like this! No wonder the status is humble! ”

One sentence made Concubine Wan speechless, Concubine Wan knew that if she talked back again, the Queen Mother would not be able to tell the secret she didn't want to accept, Qin Yuan was shocked at this time, Concubine Wan's status was low? Isn't Concubine Wan the niece of Lu Kuiyao, a second-rank general who died on the battlefield in the previous dynasty? How is it humble?

At this time, the Queen Mother then smiled affectionately, "Since Concubine Wan is unreasonable, the mourning family can also be indiscriminate, Aunt Liu, did you see just now that Concubine Wan's palace maid deliberately bumped into Concubine Hui?" ”

Aunt Liu stepped forward and said, "Yes, the slave maid saw it with her own eyes, and there will be nothing wrong." Aunt Liu's composure was as if she had really seen it.

The Queen Mother then smiled and said, "In this case, Concubine Hui Gui is wronged, Aunt Liu, beat that palace maid to death with a stick, cut off her tongue and hung it at the door of Yonghua Palace, to set an example, a cheap maid actually lied and framed Concubine Hui!" ”

Aunt Liu answered, and went to do so, and Concubine Wan was also angry, "The concubine's palace people and concubines will deal with it, and the queen mother will not bother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled affectionately, "The mourning family helps you In addition to such palace maids, Concubine Wan doesn't have to see you too much, isn't it just that the emperor rewarded you with a few broken jewelry?" Come on, Concubine Wan doesn't know what is going on, in order to mention something, the mourning family instructed the Shanggong Bureau to send ten sets of good jewelry, the mourning family doesn't believe it, Concubine Wan, you will wear it on your head shamelessly! ”

Concubine Wan was suddenly speechless in anger, and the Queen Mother glanced at her with great displeasure, "Yuan'er, let's go!" Concubine Wan panted angrily, and whispered in her heart, Concubine Hui, let's see!

On the way back, the Queen Mother didn't say a word, Qin Yuan followed quietly behind her, and when she arrived at the gate of Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother handed Qin Yuan a jade pendant, "Yuan'er, the emperor came to ask for peace to the mourning family yesterday, and dropped this double dragon play pearl jade pendant, this is a jade pendant given to the emperor by the first emperor, the emperor is particularly precious, you transfer it to the emperor for the mourning family." ”

Although Qin Yuan was unwilling, she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to respond, take the jade pendant and leave, and when Qin Yuan was far away, Aunt Liu said on the side, "Now that Concubine Hui has lost favor inexplicably, won't the Queen Mother ask?" The Queen Mother said indifferently, "If you ask Yuan'er, you won't tell the mourning family the truth, so it's better to give Yuan'er a chance." ”

"This jade pendant was given to you by the first emperor before his death, and the emperor naturally understood that it was the queen mother who came forward, and naturally he would give the queen mother a face."

"Whether the emperor can give the mourning family face depends on Yuan'er's creation."
