Chapter 6: Confrontation

The sun is dim, the weather is overcast, and the long corridor leads to the scarlet walls on both sides, all of which are very oppressive.

The palace maid sent by the noble concubine took Hua Ying and the six girls who had already entered the palace to shuttle through the strict palace city.

The palace maid's slightly hurried pace, and the whispered urging from time to time, made the sixth girl have no mind and leisure to sway him, and even the idea of talking to her at the beginning to inquire about the news of the concubine was put aside, just to keep up with her pace.

Hua Ying is different, she has been used to being wild in Taoist temples and mountains since she was a child, and her walking posture is good-looking. Therefore, she was able to follow the palace maid with ease, and quietly observed this most noble place in the world.

Looking around, except for feeling like a big cage, Hua Ying didn't feel the rumored dignity at all. The thought of someone squeezing their heads out to come in such a place made her put away her contempt and secretly reminded herself to be cautious in what she said and did.

I don't know how long it took, they finally arrived at the Mingguang Palace of the noble concubine.

However, they were dried in the side hall for a long time, so long that Liu Niang began to feel apprehensive.

At this time, the palace maid who was close to the concubine came over:

"The girls have been waiting for a long time, and it is the slaves and maids who have been negligent. Please come in with me, I want to see you. ”

The female officer had a comforting smile on her face, a kind attitude, and a gentle tone.

"Presumably you are Sister Churui next to Niangniang, right?" has been suppressed for so long, Liuniang saw that this palace maid was so kind, so she relaxed and desperately wanted to talk to her.

However, the palace maid didn't say a word, just looked at her and smiled slightly.

This kind of gentle and silent accusation made Liuniang, who had just been rude, realize her mistake and sneered.

After Liuniang came to her senses, she took the two into the hall.

Hua Ying walked behind the palace maid, and when she raised her eyes, she inadvertently saw behind her ears, and there was a faint bruise at the junction of her scalp and the back of her neck.

Afraid that she was wrong, Hua Ying took a closer look.

After entering the silent hall, Liu Niang and Hua Ying bowed respectfully, but they were not called up.

This caused a few surging dark tides to cross the hall where the needles could be heard.

"Get up." This voice is not very good, and even shows nonchalance, but the nobility in the words produces fear.

Then the owner of the voice said in an attitude like teasing a cat and a dog: "Raise your head and let this palace see." ”

So Hua Ying and Liu Niang raised their heads and saw the woman on the main seat:

The gold and silver threads are woven into a red golden phoenix wearing a flower coat, and the goose yellow Rui beast dark pattern skirt. A one-foot high bun is tied with a crown of Danfeng Chaoyang, and a carved gold treasure plate dragon hairpin is worn on the side.

But this wealth can't hide her gloom and exhaustion.

This is conceivable, no matter how noble a woman is, she will be exhausted in the face of a seriously ill child.

At the same time, the woman was looking at them, and she saw two young girls as young as flowers: one was generous and at ease; A gentle and timid, fresh and moving.

However, the more she looked at it, the angrier she became, and even if she was as noble as her, she couldn't help it. Although she herself knows how the two entered the palace and why they entered the palace.

Reason told her that this was her half-father's sister, this was a means and opportunity to save the emperor's heart, and only when they gave birth to a prince could she completely stabilize her position.

But she was still angry, these girls were younger than her, and they were ambitious to enter the palace to seize her power, status, and favor, and even if she could no longer have children, these young women could give birth to children.

It was as if she had been torn into two people, one of whom told her to be gentle and tame them, which was the right thing to do; The other couldn't help but be full of malice:

"Do you know why this palace wants you to come to the palace?"

They all heard the unkindness in the words, but Hua Ying was not afraid, and said calmly: "Niangniang wants to listen to the truth or lies." ”

As a concubine, very few people dare to refute her like this.

Obviously, one of them was already frightened, while the other was so calm, the concubine was even more angry and further threatened: "This palace doesn't like to listen to nonsense, don't go around in circles with me and answer this palace's questions." ”

"The emperor's favor means everything, and neither Niangniang nor the Hua family can lose it, so we entered the palace."

Hua Ying's words of no sorrow and joy, rational and objective, made the concubine feel that she was sarcastic about her, sarcastic for her declining love, and sarcastic for her unstable status, and suddenly became angry:

"Presumptuous!"

After speaking, he rushed to Hua Ying and wanted to slap her. said that it was too late, and when it was too fast, Hua Ying saw that it was not good and immediately grabbed her.

The concubine struggled, but she didn't struggle, and she lost all her reason in a fit of rage:

She's going to kill her, kill this presumptuous woman!

"With your kind of character, you still want to be the emperor's favor, I let you die in this palace, who knows?"

"Come on, come on, drag her down and beat her to death!"

The palace maids on the left and right knew that Niangniang had become extremely bad during this time because of the illness of the little prince and the loss of the emperor's favor, and even the big palace maids who were close to her were often beaten and scolded.

Hearing the conversation between Hua Ying and the concubine, everyone in the palace was shocked, could it be that someone was not afraid of death?

However, who dared to really kill Niangniang's own sister, the prime minister's daughter, had to step forward and pull the two apart, and several palace maids made a gesture to capture Hua Ying.

Seeing that the slave was disobedient, the concubine vented her anger on the personal palace maid and made a move on her.

Even if the scene was so chaotic, Hua Ying was still not in a hurry, she was waiting for the concubine to come to her senses.

The concubine's anger was almost vented.

Hua Yingcai, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, continued to speak, "Niangniang is the mother of the Hua family, and the Hua family is not the Hua family of the mother." ”

When everyone heard such faceless words, they couldn't help but have their heads as big as a fight, and everyone present was stunned by such a bold behavior that did not know whether to live or die.

The concubine was pulled away, and as the anger gradually faded, reason began to return, she would not kill her, but she would not let her go either.

If she kills a big living person in her palace today, she is still her own sister, she is undoubtedly handing a knife to her opponent.

Therefore, it is necessary to teach her to be humble and humble.

"The Hua family will not turn their faces against this palace for the sake of a dead person." The concubine's tone was solemn and threatening.

"Cruelty to flesh and blood, tyranny and widowhood, the Hua family will only be separated from you."

The unhurried bearing and reasonable rhetoric made the concubine and everyone present look at this bold woman with admiration, but the concubine still threatened:

"I'll let the Hua family not know."

Hearing this, Hua Ying smiled confidently: "Yes, the Hua family will definitely know, as long as there are people in the hall." ”

Hearing this, the concubine had no choice but to suppress her anger.

A tense confrontation was finally won by Hua Ying.

…………………………

In the end, because of the following crimes, Hua Ying was sent to the innermost side hall of Mingguang Palace to copy scriptures.

It is remote and desolate, and the palace maid and eunuch are also the masters of the dishes.

Under the deliberate differentiation of the concubine and the intentional alienation of Liu Niang, Liu Niang lived in the nearest side hall of the main hall, and the two were far apart.

The concubine wanted to let the ignorance and forgetfulness make her learn to be "obedient".

Hua Ying writes in the side hall every day, walks, stargazing...

As the days passed, I finally heard two thunderous news: one was that the little prince passed away not long ago, and the other was that Chu Rui, who was beside the concubine, was favored, not a few days before the little prince passed away......
