Chapter 51
51 [Hot hands and spicy hearts] The ruthless eldest lady + the desperate second miss + the little lady who wants to change her surname
As soon as the queen became serious, all the concubines who were still chatting and idle sat upright, bowing their heads and listening.
Zhao Yanrong smiled and said: "Among all of you here, most of you are accompanying the emperor before this palace, if you want to talk about love, you have been with the emperor for a longer time than this palace, and this affection is naturally heavier." โ
God, you are the mother of the main palace and the emperor's wife, who has the courage to say that the affection between you and the emperor is heavier?
The concubines immediately stood up and saluted, and said they didn't dare with fear on their faces.
Zhao Yanrong asked them to sit down, and said with a smile: "That's what this palace said, look at you one by one." Isn't this a man-eating tigress, are you? โ
The concubine sat on the side, laughing.
Concubine Duan sat at the bottom of the concubine, stirring the handkerchief in her hand, and her fingers trembled.
The queen can rectify it if she doesn't deal with the queen mother, can she still care about them?
Now who doesn't know that the emperor favors the queen, and people are justifiable and spoiled the pepper room.
"Anyway, we are all women who enter the palace to accompany the emperor, no matter what we were like at home before, in this palace, we can only have one identity." Speaking of this, Zhao Yanrong slowly looked around at the trembling subordinates of all kinds of beautiful women sitting down, "This palace knows that most of the relatives here have relatives who are officials in the court, and this palace also knows that although they are married, everyone thinks about their mother's family, which is also human nature." I advocate filial piety, filial piety is a hundred good people, but filial piety is also divided into size, small filial piety, big filial piety. I don't need to say this in detail, you all understand. โ
The concubines stood up one by one and bowed in line to listen.
"This palace said these words today, but I just want to remind you that there are palace rules in the palace, everyone is to serve Your Majesty, the king is the first, the family is second, and you can't ignore the palace rules and national laws because of your own selfishness, and do things that are immoral and impolite."
The queen said it so seriously, could it be that someone touched the queen's mother's moldy head, and the mother was going to find out and beat it well?
The concubines in each palace are thinking in their hearts whether they have done anything out of the ordinary recently to make the mother unhappy.
Only Concubine Hui and Tong Meiren know the details here, looking at the uneasy appearance of the concubines, the two of them unconsciously have a sense of superiority, as if they are already the queen's confidants, and they are extremely close.
"There is a case today, because it involves the family of the palace, so it is not easy to deal with it privately, and it is right for me, the queen, to set an example for everyone."
Family?!
Example?!
Everyone was stunned.
There is a brain that reacts quickly, remembering the rumors in the palace recently.
Could it be the one who was sent by the queen to be a palace maid in Qingliang Palace...... Younger sister?
Tong Meiren stood at the end with her head down, listening to the queen's words, she raised her head slightly, and saw that several concubines in front of her were looking back at her, and a deep smile appeared on her face.
"This happened in the Qingliang Palace, let the Tong family talk to everyone." The queen opened Chrysostom, and Tong Meiren immediately cheered up and told Zhao Qingrong about self-harm and bodily framing her for abuse.
Concubine Hui nodded and added a few words.
This is a typical case of the following crimes that are definitely committed and framed the master in a bad way.
"This palace maid Zhao is the sister of the mother's family in this palace." The queen generously admitted, "The family wanted to let her enter the palace, and the palace let her in." Of course, everything is according to the rules of the palace, and there is nothing to follow in the private sector. What did she do to the Tong family for, there is no need to say more about it, I believe everyone knows it very well. The women in this palace, as long as they have a little talent, who doesn't want to serve by the emperor's side? My sister-in-law, this is thinking about ascending and going crazy, so she will do such a stupid thing. โ
The palace concubines below held their breath one by one, and no one dared to interject.
The Queen's reaction was a surprise.
Zhao Qingrong's actions can't be called stupid. If she hadn't dealt with Tong Meiren, who had a scheming heart and a similar purpose to her, and the person who came to the Qingliang Hall to watch the excitement was not Concubine Hui, who was actually ingenious, her strategy would have been effective.
As long as the fact that she was abused spreads out and is implemented, the queen will no longer be able to pretend that she does not know anything and throw her in the cold palace.
In this way, the queen said that she had no choice but to take her out, and to change her to a better place, and more likely to put it by her side, so that she could have the opportunity to contact the emperor.
This rumor may not spread to other palaces, but as long as it spreads to the Empress Dowager Zhang, who is not on good terms with the queen, the Empress Dowager will definitely take advantage of the situation and force the queen to get Zhao Qingrong to her side to disgust her, and it is more likely to directly send a message to her to give her a position.
It's a pity that her little sprout was strangled to death by Concubine Hui before she could show a sprout.
And the queen was more generous, and directly swept away the dirt covering her head, pulled her out by the roots and put her in the sun.
Don't you want everyone to know that there is a person like you in the palace?
I'll let you come out to bask in the sun, and we'll bask in the roots.
completely disregarded the face of the Zhao family and the love of sisters.
"Bengong also said it just now, the great filial piety. Now that we have entered the palace, we can only have the emperor in our hearts, and we can no longer have any thoughts of the Zhao family, the Li family, and the Wang family. The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, although Zhao Gongnu and Bengong are the same father, but she committed a crime, and Bengong can't be extra kind because of her surname Zhao. Zhao Yanrong said with a straight face, "Otherwise, who can still have rules and regulations in their eyes?" Everyone can design to harm people in order to compete for the sake of competition, isn't this harem about to be a big mess? โ
"Sister Huifei, tell me, what kind of crime is this person accusing the master, according to the palace rules, and how to punish it?"
Concubine Hui only knew that the queen was going to send her sister-in-law, but she never thought that the queen could be unsympathetic.
It was her own sister-in-law, and half of the same blood was brought. If this matter is a big trouble, the queen's mother's face will definitely be gloomy, and it will also affect the queen's reputation, so I don't feel a little hesitant when I think about it.
"Concubine Hui?"
"Niangniang, this is a bully, according to the rules...... While...... When ...... "Concubine Hui has been a few times, but she hasn't given her the following.
Concubine Duan, who was standing on the side, didn't hold back, and answered: "Be killed with a cane!" โ
The concubines below were in an uproar.
Could the queen really kill her own sister for the sake of Tong Meiren?
Is she going to break with the Zhao family?
If the Zhao family is involved in this matter, her reputation as a queen will not be good.
Zhao Yanrong looked at the women with different expressions below, and smiled slightly: "Then let's kill with a cane." โ
Then let's kill with a cane!
These five words are as easy as saying that it is sunny outside, and it is suitable for walking.
Everyone felt a chill inexplicably, and the hairs around their bodies stood up.
She actually said that it was a life and death sentence like this, and that person was still her own sister!
I heard that on the day when the queen woke up from a serious illness, she opened her mouth to execute two palace people. They didn't pay much attention to it at the time. thought to himself, but they were just two palace maids who didn't have long eyes and bad luck. Which palace hasn't killed one or two people?
But today is to kill the queen's sister, and she actually has a smile on her face like this, and she decides life and death with a word. The women looked at the queen's bright and charming face, and they only felt frightened.
This is not an ordinary ruthless person.
She can even kill her own sister, and if they fall into her hands one day, it will definitely not end well.
For a while, the hall was as silent as death, and there was no sound.
Only Concubine Wei, who has always smiled like a bodhisattva, still maintains that kind and gentle look on her face, looking at them like looking at a group of children who have not grown up and are not sensible.
Zhao Yanrong looked at the people who were silent, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she said to Tong Meiren, who had opened her lips slightly and was already stunned: "This palace asked you to bring people, can people be outside?" โ
Tong Meiren nodded mechanically, and replied as if remedy: "Hui Niangniang, people are already waiting outside the hall." โ
Zhao Yanrong looked down with a pleasant face, and said softly: "This palace has no opinion on the sisters, so it's decided." Let people be executed outside the palace, and the bold can go out to see, and if they are cowardly and can't see blood, they will talk to the concubine here. โ
Concubine Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel that her throat and eyes were astringent, and her voice was a little trembling: "That...... , you? โ
"This palace should be a prisoner." Zhao Yanrong smiled and said, "What's the matter, Sister Zhenfei is also going to see it?" โ
Concubine Zhen's head shook like a drum.
It's not that she hasn't seen how to kill people, but the one who is about to lose her life is the smiling queen in front of her, and she feels a pang of tightness in her heart, and when she thinks of the scene of flesh and blood flying for a while, she feels tightness in her chest and nausea.
"The concubine body is really ...... It's really ......," Concubine Zhen said with a bitter smile, "The concubine is still here to talk to the concubine." โ
"Whatever you want."
Zhao Yanrong stood up and saluted Concubine Wei: "The concubine sits widely, and Rong Bengong will go back when she goes." โ
It's as easy to talk about as going out and hanging out.
Concubine Wei originally thought that she was just putting on a show, firstly to deter everyone, and secondly, to ruin her sister's future in the palace, but she didn't expect the queen to say that the cane death was really to kill Zhao Qingrong, and she had to go to prison in person.
Really let the queen beat her sister to death, what should I say outside?
The smile on Concubine Wei's face faded and replaced it with a worried face.
"Queen, human life is at stake, please be cautious."
Zhao Yanrong nodded, and said: "This is the rule of the palace, this palace is the main palace of Zhaoyang Palace, the head of the harem concubines, and his sister has such a scandalous thing, although it is regrettable and sad, it is not possible to be partial, and it is necessary not to indulge in vain." โ
"Queen, God has the virtue of a good life, and the people of Zhao Palace have harmed themselves and have not really harmed the Tong family, this palace will intercede for her, and this capital crime will be forgiven." Concubine Wei took the handkerchief and nodded her lips.
She didn't want to care about the affairs of the Zhao family, but if the queen killed the daughter of the Zhao family, it would definitely cause criticism from the outside world. Zhao Fengchun is one of the six Shangshu, and she doesn't want to make any changes in the previous dynasty because of the queen's rash moves. What's more, if the queen's reputation is ruined, it will also bring the emperor to the back.
Finally, the emperor and queen were harmonious, and the queen looked much more sensible than before, and she didn't want to make trouble.
Concubine Wei sighed softly in her heart. This queen is too straight.
After the concubine mentioned this, everyone came back to their senses.
If the palace maid next to her did such a thing, the rod would be killed. But this palace maid is the queen's own sister, although she is now taking it out to make an example of the chicken, but people may not really want people to die.
Persuasion is always due, the queen listens to persuasion, they have built steps, if they don't listen to persuasion, they won't blame them for turning a blind eye if they regret it in the future.
So you said a word to me, and they persuaded the queen to be gracious and take it lightly.
"It's considered to be a blessing for the Queen Mother and the Concubine Niangniang." Concubine Zhen persuaded her, "The old man can't see this." Zhao Gongnu is young, and no one teaches her well, so Xu is confused for a while, and now I don't know how much I regret it. Be forgiving and forgiving, Niangniang gave her a chance to change, and let everyone in the palace know that Niangniang is a lenient person with a bodhisattva heart. โ
Concubine Hui pouted secretly as she listened to it, and said it in a high-sounding manner, not sure what she thought in her heart.
"Tong, Tong!" Concubine Wei saw that the queen frowned slightly and never spoke, so she called Tong Meiren over, "Then the people of Zhao Palace have accused you and made you wronged, and you should be punished." But for the queen to kill her sister because of this, it was indeed too much. Since she is not hurt, why don't you send a word and let the queen be extrajudicially gracious. โ
The concubine said so, and the Tong family couldn't say no.
She hated Zhao Qingrong very much, but the queen wanted to kill Zhao Qingrong with a cane, and she felt a little scared. Through the words of the concubine, Tong Meiren also interceded with everyone.
It wasn't until she opened her mouth that Zhao Yanrong sighed and said, "Everyone's affection for this palace, this palace understands." It's just that the sister of this palace is not angry, and she does such a scoundrel thing. Even if she is not dealt with harshly today, she will leave the palace and go home in the future, and the family law will not tolerate her. But since everyone has interceded, this palace can't help but sell everyone's face. โ
"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped." Zhao Yanrong said, "I will punish her for kneeling outside the Qingliang Hall for three days, and compensate Tong Meiren." After that, he was sent to the Huanyi Bureau, so as not to stir up trouble in the palace again. โ
Zhao Qingrong knelt in the small room of the side hall of Zhaoyang Hall with his hands tied and his mouth gagged, waiting for the punishment in fear.
Since Concubine Hui came that day, she was thrown into the small black room of the Qingliang Palace, and she didn't see the day, day and night, but she felt that this day was difficult to endure, and she didn't know what night it was.
After being locked up for a few days, she felt as if she had passed half her life, panicked like a frightened bird, busy like a fish that had slipped through the net, but whenever she heard the slightest sound, she was frightened, and her plump little cheeks immediately sank a lot.
finally came out of the small black room, and saw the long-lost sunshine, Zhao Qingrong heard that she was going to be sent to Zhaoyang Palace, thinking that the queen's sister finally got the news and wanted to rescue her, happy and sad. But when she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, she was still tied up and blocked, and no one took her to see the queen.
After waiting for a long time, until she was almost desperate, she finally heard a voice outside.
"Is it agreed?"
"It's decided, Zhao Gongnu framed her master, with bad intentions, and was sentenced to death."
Zhao Qingrong was shocked and frightened when she heard this, she never expected that the queen would want her life.
Zhao Qingrong struggled desperately and wanted to cry, but her mouth was tightly blocked, and she could only make a faint "whine" sound. For a while, the fear and despair that grew in the darkness overwhelmed her, and Zhao Qingrong desperately hit the ground with her head, eager to hit her head to death.
After a while, no one came in, Zhao Qingrong hit his head and was a little dizzy, and stopped to take two breaths.
I heard someone outside, "Changed?" โ
"Well, it's changed, Concubine Wei pleaded with her, and now she is sentenced to kneel outside the Qingliang Hall for three days, and then sent to the Huanyi Bureau to be a rough palace maid."
"It's really a good fate, if you change to an ordinary person, can you wait until today?"
"Shhhh
In the abyss of despair, a light lit up, although it was faint, it was enough to make Zhao Qingrong cry.
I thought she would die, but she didn't expect God to give her another way to live.
She no longer dared to have any illusions, where was the ladder to heaven in this palace, it was clearly the entrance to the Yellow Spring, she stepped in stupidly, like stuck in quicksand, the more she struggled, the faster she died.
Anyway, I saved my life.
Zhao Qingrong cried and laughed for a long time, and his head and face were all covered with tears and snot.
After a while, two stout palace ladies came in and carried her out of the Zhaoyang Palace.
Kneeling outside the Qingliang Palace, Zhao Qingrong had never been so at ease and comfortable as he was today.
The sun is bright and warm, the breeze carries a faint fragrance of flowers, and the murmuring of flowing water, the sound of birds and insects can be heard in her ears.
Because it was a punishment kneeling, there were two palace ladies beside her watching. She was only allowed to get up every hour and move her legs, so as not to dirty her body and places, and she was afraid that her legs would be wasted.
After kneeling like this for a day, Zhao Qingrong was drowsy from the sun, and heard a gentle female voice say to someone not far away: "Help her move a place, so that it is not good to burn people directly under the sun." โ
Zhao Qingrong raised his head, opened his heavy eyes, and saw that Yin Yin was a palace lady sitting on her shoulder and talking to the palace woman who was guarding her.
The palace maid knelt on the ground and nodded her head in a respectful and humble manner.
She hadn't seen that concubine, but looking at the grade of the clothes and headdress on her body, it seemed that she was still above Concubine Hui.
Zhao Qingrong thought about it, in this palace, there are only two concubines in this palace who are higher than Concubine Hui, except for the queen, and now there are only two concubines.
I don't know who this man is.
After a while, the nobleman left, watched her palace maid come back, brought her a bowl of water and fed her to drink, and his attitude towards her was obviously much better.
"Stand up and move, and in a moment you will kneel under the shade of the tree over there."
Zhao Qingrong thanked and thanked, shrunk his body, and moved over there little by little with his numb legs.
I heard the two palace ladies whispering in my ears: "In the end, it is still the noble concubine Niangniang's heart, and the ladies who came to see the excitement on this day are eleven or two, but none of them can speak to let her rest." โ
"The Zhao family is also unlucky, this little one was taught by his own people in the palace, and the old one was beaten by outsiders outside."
The two of them whispered about Zhao Fengchun's gossip, and somehow, they talked about the old lady Zhao spilling outside the Hou Mansion yesterday.
"In front of Lord Rong, I scolded the young lady of the champion Hou family there, and I heard that even the eldest princess who passed away was scolded by her. Hey, isn't this self-defeating? โ
"Isn't it? King Rong, who is that? He and the Pei family sisters and brothers grew up together, and when he saw Pei Hou carrying the coffin out, he pulled out a knife at that time and almost chopped the old lady! โ
"And what's going on? Who's in that coffin? It can't be Miss Pei's family. โ
"I heard that I was injured in the search for death. Pei Hou was furious, and gave this coffin to Lord Zhao and asked him to climb into it by himself. โ
"Tsk, this time the Zhao family can be regarded as stabbing a big basket. insulting the royal family, rushing into King Rong, according to King Rong's evil nature, can he not be rectified to death? โ
Zhao Qingrong heard it so earnestly that the whole person froze.
"Mommy, mommy, what are you two talking about? Is it the Zhao family's business? โ
She endured the stinging pain in her knee, took a few steps forward to her knee, and said with her hands on the ground: "Please two, tell me, what happened to my family?" โ
The two palace ladies glanced at her, and saw that her face was blue and yellow, her hair was scattered, her eyes were blank, and she looked really embarrassed and pitiful, so she looked at each other and said, "It doesn't matter if you hear about this, anyway, the whole capital has spread all over the city." Your Shangshu father, robbed a prostitute in a green house with someone, and was knocked out of bed and couldn't get out of bed. The old lady of your family ran to the door of the champion Hou Mansion to make trouble, scolded the ancestors of the three generations, and scolded all the royal family of our Great Qi, and was slapped by His Royal Highness King Rong who was present at the time. Originally, the Zongren Mansion was going to your house to get people today, but Lord Zhao and the old lady couldn't move in bed, so they sent someone to watch it for the time being, and they took it to the palace torture hall for questioning before that time......"
When Zhao Qingrong heard this, his body shook twice, and finally he couldn't support it and fainted to the ground.
The only thought before fainting: "The Zhao family is over, it's over, it's over!" โ
Zhao Wanrong sat in front of her sister's bed with her legs dangling and eating fragrant pears: "It's really cheap for her like this!" โ
Yesterday, she sent King Rong away, and she was sent to the palace by Pei Yi.
The Pei family and the Zhao family have completely torn their faces, and Pei Yi has made up his mind to let the Pei family and the Zhao family break off. It's just that Wanrong is still young now, if she is in front of Pei's eyes, I'm afraid that Pei's will have a lot of worries for this child. Pei Yi discussed with Zhao Wanrong, and the little girl immediately said that she resolutely supported her uncle's wise decision, and spared no effort to cooperate in an all-round way, and also took the initiative to persuade her uncle to come to the important mission of persuading the queen, patting her chest and promising to do her eldest sister's ideological work.
As a result, when she came in, it was just when the queen finished disposing of her second sister.
Zhao Wanrong was bullied by the second sister when she was in the Zhao family, but she was a straight person, and she would never show weakness and submit to softness, although she was young, she dared to pinch Zhao Qingrong when her temper came up.
It's just that the old lady and Zhao Fengchun are biased towards the Duan family and the children she gave birth to, but whenever there is a dispute, they will beat Zhao Wanrong first.
In order to protect Wanrong, Pei's family was bullied and squeezed by Duan and Zhao Qingrong. Compared with being bullied, being bullied by her mother made Xiao Wanrong even more unbearable.
finally saw Zhao Qingrong, who had bullied them arrogantly and domineeringly in the past, also have such an end, Zhao Wanrong was happy and felt sad.
Other people's daughters are cherished and cared for, and no one has ever heard of a concubine who can be pressed on the head of her mother. No matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, if she can't meet a lover, she will only be bullied. Her mother has a weak temperament, if she meets a bad man again, isn't it that Huang Lian in the well is suffering deeply?
"Sister, my mother and I have suffered so much in the Zhao family, do we still have to endure it?" She asked tentatively.
Zhao Yanrong held a knife in her hand, and the pear peel was fast and thin: "How is it possible?" With an uncle here, how dare they? โ
"Uncle doesn't dare him, but what if his uncle is not there one day?"
"What do you want to say?" Zhao Yanrong put down the knife, and with a finger stroke, a long strip of peel was removed by her and thrown on the table.
Zhao Wanrong didn't have the heart to praise her sister's miraculous skills, and said with a sad face: "Grandmother insults the royal family, this is heard by hundreds of people on the street, and my father's career will be affected." Do we still want to suffer with such people? Sister, is there any other way so that we don't have to go back? โ
Zhao Yanrong laughed: "This matter depends on her mother, whether she can make up her mind and make up her mind." In fact, according to his mother's conditions, with the Pei family behind him, what if there is no man? โ
Zhao Wanrong's eyes lit up: "You mean, you also agree with your mother and his ......"
"I didn't say anything." Zhao Yanrong stretched out her index finger against Zhao Wanrong's lips and winked at her, "Remember, it's not what I said." โ
Zhao Wanrong nodded and laughed.
"I understand, my uncle can rest assured now."
"It's long overdue." Zhao Yanrong complained in a low voice.
"I think so." Zhao Wanrong casually picked up her sister's freshly cut pears and whispered, "Hey, how about you say that I will change my surname to Li in the future?" Li Wanrong, it sounds very good! โ
"Poof!" The queen mother just ate the pear in her mouth and squirted out.
The author has something to say: Thank you very much for the overlord vote that my friends voted for me!! Take a bow!!!!
