Chapter 169: Small Punishment and Great Commandment
Yun Ge also frowned when she heard this, now the most powerful weapon in the queen's hand is the palace rules, the ancestral system cannot be violated, she can't say anything, she can only look at Zheng Xiunu sympathetically.
In the final analysis, she herself is too stupid, knowing that the queen is going to trouble her today, but she still provokes the queen again and again, when you meet such a person, you can't punish her if you don't want to.
"This palace seems to be dissatisfied with the punishment of this Zheng Xiunu, since this is the case, then this palace will definitely let everyone in the harem know what is called physique and what is called rules, Ah Qiu, you personally watched her kneel on the stone floor outside for three hours, if there is any dissatisfaction, add another hour." The queen glanced at Zheng Xiunu gloomily as she spoke.
"The concubine is not satisfied, and the concubine wants to go to the emperor for affection." Zheng Xiunu stood up as she spoke, and was about to run outside.
When the queen heard this, she glanced down at Na Qiu.
Ah Qiu immediately understood, waved his hand, and many people next to him stepped forward and detained the Zheng Xiunu.
"The queen mother deals with the affairs in the harem, sometimes even the emperor can't intervene, the queen mother teaches you that you don't listen, naturally she wants to punish you, come and set a rule for the people in the harem, otherwise, you will also say a word in the future, and I will also say a word, so where is Fengyi Palace?" Ah Qiu waved her hand as she spoke, signaling the palace people who came forward to take her away directly.
The emperor is now in the court, and he has no time to take care of her.
This Zheng Xiunu was pressed to kneel on the ground outside, not to mention how happy the queen was.
However, what the queen never expected was that Zheng Xiunu knelt for less than half an hour before fainting to the ground.
"Queen Mother, Zheng Xiunu fainted." When Ah Qiu saw the scene in front of him, he came to the queen with some embarrassment.
Yun Ge was originally a little worried about Zheng Xiunu, because she looked at her thin body and didn't seem to be in good health, so she spoke out to dissuade the queen, hoping that the queen could open up and not punish Zheng Xiunu.
But I didn't expect the queen to insist on setting a rule for her today, and this Zheng Xiunu was born and was a stupid person, and she actually contradicted the queen in public at this juncture, so that the queen didn't want to punish her.
Now that it's okay, it's only been half an hour since she knelt down, and this Zheng Xiunu fainted, and now she is the emperor's favorite person, I'm afraid that it is unlikely that she wants to be good at this time.
When the queen heard this, she was slightly stunned, even if she was dizzy and irrational, she also knew that if Zheng Xiunu was allowed to pose this way for her at this juncture, she and the emperor would gradually drift apart.
"Ah Qiu went to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at Zheng Xiunu's good birth to see what the situation was." As she spoke, the queen frowned and motioned for Ah Qiu to invite the imperial doctor over.
When he heard this, Ah Qiu hurriedly responded, and hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to invite two Tai doctors to come over and look at Zheng Xiunu.
The queen was still thinking that if Zheng Xiunu pretended to faint to avoid punishment, she would have to take this opportunity to punish her severely.
However, they didn't expect the two doctors to shake their heads after checking the pulse.
"Queen Mother, this Zheng Xiunu's body is too weak, she can't withstand such a kneeling, and the sun is a little too poisonous, such a kneeling is a great test for Zheng Xiunu's body." The two imperial doctors frowned and looked at the queen and said quietly.
When the queen heard this, she subconsciously frowned, so if she said this, Zheng Xiunu didn't pretend to faint, but really fainted?
"The two of you may have seen it wrong, and you have only been kneeling for half an hour, how can the woman in this harem be so weak?" The Empress frowned and looked at the two imperial physicians as if she was questioning them.
Yun Ge shook his head slightly and sighed, it is not too normal for a woman in the harem to be weak and sick.
"Queen Niangniang, now that Zheng Xiunu has fainted, even if there is anything, you should first ask her to be treated by a doctor, otherwise if Your Majesty knows about it, I am afraid that I will blame Niangniang, thinking that Niangniang did not take good care of the harem concubines." Yun Ge said quietly.
She didn't mean to save this Zheng Xiunu, but in the current situation, she couldn't watch the queen just by her eyes, so she left Zheng Xiunu alone and didn't care about it.
Seeing that Yun Ge had spoken, the two imperial doctors also nodded in agreement.
"Then you will ......" As soon as the queen finished speaking, she heard the sound of the emperor driving outside.
After hearing this voice, the queen's heart was secretly surprised, why did the emperor come down so early today?
However, she didn't have time to think about it now, so she hurriedly packed up her skirt and walked towards the emperor.
When the emperor was on the road, he already knew that Zheng Xiunu had fainted, although he knew that Zheng Xiunu's temperament might not be suitable for this harem, but the emperor was still more annoyed with the queen in his heart.
"This Zheng Xiunu has just entered the palace, what is the etiquette is not good, you, as the queen of the middle palace, don't know how to teach, but you directly moved this punishment, causing her to faint directly, it is really not what a queen of the middle palace should do." The emperor looked at the queen with a serious gaze and said.
When the queen heard this, she nodded slightly and said yes.
But she also has grievances in her heart, thinking that she has been grounded by the emperor for so many days, and the emperor didn't take care of her much, so she was finally released, and she casually spoiled a show girl in a few days.
How could the queen swallow such a breath in her heart?
"Your Majesty, the concubine is also doing this out of the palace rules, this harem naturally has to have rules to deter everyone, otherwise in the future, everyone will think that the palace rules are just child's play, then in this case, the harem will be chaotic, if it is spread out, I am afraid that others will laugh at us We don't have a rule." The queen said as she half-crouched and looked like she had made a mistake.
Although she was admitting her mistake, she could also see the indignation in her heart from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, because I've grounded you for so long, and because I've spoiled this showgirl, you already have an opinion about me in your heart, right? I tell you today that this rule was set by the ancestors, and it has been so many years since the ancestors left, and now if I want to do it in this harem, then everything must be up to me. The emperor said angrily as if he was deliberately angry with the queen.
When the queen heard this, she looked at the emperor with an incredible face, just for the sake of this Zheng Xiunu in front of her, he actually reprimanded himself in public?
After the emperor said this, he took Zheng Xiunu and left the queen's Fengyi Palace.
After everyone watched this play, they also felt a little bored, the emperor snubbed the queen and doted on this Zheng Xiunu, but in fact, he was also snubbing them.
Knowing that the queen was in a bad mood now, those people left in a hurry after saying a word to the queen.
The last person to leave was Yun Ge, she stood there not knowing what she wanted to say, she glanced sideways at the lonely queen standing there and stopped talking.
But I don't know what came to mind, Yun Ge shook her head slightly, the words seemed to have reached her mouth, but she swallowed it hard.
Ah Qiu cautiously knelt beside the queen at this time: "Queen Mother, this majesty has taken Zheng Xiunu away, if you have anything unpleasant in your heart, just tell the slave maid, no matter when the slave maid is always by your side." ”
After Mama Chang left, there was only Ah Qiu by the queen's side, and she knew how sad she was in her heart.
"After so many years in this harem, this palace originally thought that I had seen the deceit and treachery in this harem, but I never thought that such a thing would still make my heart so sad." The queen shook her head slightly, and said with a lonely expression.
When she heard this, Ah Qiu suddenly didn't know what to say, in the real sense, the queen is also a poor person, but what she did to Zheng Xiunu today did mean to deliberately find fault.
"Niangniang, according to what the slave maid sees, you might as well be the queen in this harem, just like Yun Guifei, you will see everything and look down on it, and your heart will not be so sad, and when the day comes, maybe you will still be the future queen mother." Ah Qiu whispered in the queen's ear.
After hearing the word Queen Mother, the queen's eyes didn't know what suddenly came to mind, she squinted her eyes and struggled to stand up.
"Bengong will never be defeated by a little show girl so easily, what you said is right, Bengong must cheer up, must live well, so that it is possible to have the last laugh, you go and find the deputy general to Bengong, Bengong will not believe it." The queen said with a sneer.
It's really a little scary to see the queen's current appearance, but Ah Qiu doesn't think so, anyway, the queen is cheering up now.
She hurriedly answered "yes", and then hurriedly sent a letter to the lieutenant general for the queen.
Even if it wasn't for the crown prince, for herself, the queen decided to fight.
Besides, she helped the prince in this matter, and the prince will definitely be grateful to her in the future.
When he received the queen's letter, the lieutenant general did not refuse the queen, although he hesitated for a moment.
He has been in love with the queen for so long, and he really can't bear to refuse the queen anything.
"Please trouble this girl to go back and tell the queen that I already know about this matter, and I will definitely arrange it properly." The lieutenant thought for a moment, then looked up at the person opposite and said.
Ah Qiu was also worried that the risk of this matter was too great, and the deputy general was unwilling to help, but he never thought that he had just told the queen about his intentions and the queen's current situation, and the deputy general immediately agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you for the general's help, if the queen can come out of the current predicament, she will definitely not forget your help today." Ah Qiu said as he saluted the lieutenant general.
The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is still slowly being prepared, although it is said that this matter is near, but after all, it is a major event, and everyone must not be sloppy, so now they can only prepare slowly.
In the past few days since Sikong Mubai came back, Su Zhiyuan has been in the house, she is a little bored, Su Zhiwei has left the Su family at some point, and there is no one who usually provokes her.
Although it was said that Su Linghao was back, Su Linghao was too busy, either to see this colleague or that colleague, and he really didn't have time to talk to her.
Qiu Xue looked at her with a smile behind Su Zhiyuan: "Miss, is she thinking about the Third Highness again?" ”
Qiu Xue walked behind Su Zhiyuan as she spoke, looking at her with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You little hoof, I found out that you've been getting skinny lately, and I can't do it if I don't clean you up. Su Zhiyuan was a little uneasy when Qiu Xue said it, and his mind was a little uneasy.
Qiu Xue sighed, covered her face and jumped back a few steps, as if she wanted to avoid Su Zhiyuan.
"My good young lady, the slave knows that she is wrong, but now she is looking at the sullen appearance of the young lady, and she is afraid that if the young lady continues like this, she will definitely suffocate herself, so she said so." Qiu Xue said as she placed a letter in front of her.
