Chapter 106: Humiliation
Compared with Mu Zhu's restless concubine, Xu Ying uncharacteristically seemed quite calm.
"Niangniang, I heard that the maid of Concubine Ke climbed onto the dragon bed and has been registered as a maid. You see, this ...... "Mu Mei was a little uneasy, there are more and more restless people in this harem.
"It's okay, let them go. The palace now only cares about the belly of the concubine Lian, and the palace ignores other things. Xu Ying waved her hand impatiently.
"Niangniang is not afraid that this Jinghua will become the second Muzhu?" Mu Mei still has lingering feelings about Mu Zhu's matter.
Xu Ying snorted coldly and expressed disdain: "Hmph! Afraid of what? Jinghua is just a pawn in Luo Zixiao's competition for favor, as long as the eighth prince lives for one day, Jinghua will not want to get pregnant. Bengong also asked the doctors who saw Luo Zixiao in the Tai Hospital, and they all admitted that it would be difficult for Luo Zixiao to get pregnant in the future after a miscarriage. Two women who can't have children are tied together for favor? It is nothing more than wanting to preserve the status of the Eighth Prince. Therefore, instead of fighting with them, it is better to think of a way to be more practical except for the Eighth Prince. ”
"The mother is far-sighted, and the slave is impressed!" At this time, Mu Mei's worries were swept away.
"The flowers over there in the Jinglian Hall are still sent every day?"
"Yes. The slave and the winter blessing are staring. The slave and maid are too eye-catching to run to the flower room in person every day, and they are afraid that the little girl at the bottom will not be able to use their hands and feet, so the slave and maid will take turns with Dongfu and go to the flower room every few days, and every time they go, they will add enough 'good materials' to the vase sent to the Jinglian Palace, and the mother can rest assured. The master and servant smiled at each other, and there was a more vicious glint in their eyes than the snake letter.
Jiang Lianhuan's due date is in the first month, from this month to the first month, to say the least, she will inhale more than 20 days of poisonous water to evaporate gas, no matter whether she is a male or a female, she will not live to be ten years old. Poor Jiang Lianhuan was still looking forward to the birth of this child who was connected to her blood at this time, but she couldn't compare how heartbreaking she would be when it left prematurely......
The first to encounter the maid on the throne of this kind of thing is not as generous as the virtuous concubine, since she was named a noble concubine, she has been called the most times, except for her "rival" Jin Cicada has a little ability to share with her, the rest of the concubines are almost the whole month without seeing the sky. Now that a lowly palace maid has come out to share her favor, how can she swallow this breath? Lee Yoon-hee doesn't believe it, how charming can a maid be? She wants to humiliate and teach her a lesson, so that she understands what can be fought for and what cannot be robbed!
"Zhiya! Go to the Rain Pavilion and invite the Jingcai girl to come, and the palace has a reward for her. Lee Yoon-hee put a new set of enamel carved armor on his hand, and looked at it and felt dissatisfied.
"Master, this ...... The slave and maid can just send the reward over, so why bother to work and quietly pick the girl to make this trip? Zhiya knew that the master was going to find fault again, and she was very reluctant to cause trouble again.
"Joke! Could it be that this palace is a noble concubine, can't you work a little girl? Snapshot of the palace's orders, please, if you are late, beware of the palace and punish you! "Lee Yoon-hee has no pity for his maid.
"The slave obeys." Zhiya couldn't disobey, so she had to go to listen to Yuge's invitation, and made a helpless expression towards Zhihui before going out.
Jinghua knew that Concubine Xi had a tricky temper, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment and followed Zhiya to Ning Champs.
"Concubines pick female Jinghua, see Xi Gui Concubine, Xi Gui Concubine Wan Fu Jin'an!" Jinghua squatted and prayed, but Lee Yun-hee, who had a difficult heart, did not tell her to get up, and Jinghua could only keep saluting.
"Look, look, how standard the squatting posture of Jingcai Nu is! is worthy of being a palace maid, and she knows Dahan's palace rules and etiquette better than us foreigners. Zhihui, Zhiya, you all come to learn! Lee Yoon-hee maliciously called two maids to embarrass Jinghua together. Jinghua didn't dare to make a sound, lowered her head and bit her lip, guarding Lee Yun-hee's humiliation. When she promised the little lord to come to the palace, she was ready to face all kinds of humiliation. On this long road of competition for favor, there will inevitably be no fewer embarrassing situations than now, and now she doesn't care much about Lee Yun-hee's majesty on her tongue. Seeing that Jinghua was not angry, joyful, sad, and resistant, Li Yunxi was a little bored if she didn't achieve her goal: "Okay, don't be polite." Ji-hye brings her a stool. ”
"Thank you for your seat." Shizuka carefully sat on the stool that Jihye had brought in.
Don't think that Lee Yun-hee would stop here, she immediately launched a new round of "attack": "Zhiya will bring up the things prepared by the palace for Jingcai Nu." Zhiya didn't dare to rub in, and immediately stepped forward with a tray full of gorgeous clothes. Lee Yun-hee picked up a pair of jade hanging fan tassels and just wanted to put them on Jinghua's head, but found that there were two hank headbands tied to her flying fairy bun. Lee Yun-hee smiled disdainfully, unceremoniously ripped off the hairband, and complained at the same time: "Which slave who is not long-eyed dares to tie such goods to the head of the little master?" She said this deliberately to imply that Jinghua's status is lowly and her taste is inferior, how can she have her own maid just after she accepted the favor? The bun and clothes were obviously all made by herself.
"The concubine thinks it's not good, the concubine doesn't wear it, and the concubine really doesn't need to be angry." Jinghua replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Lee Yun-hee hit the cotton like a punch.
Li Yunxi rolled his eyes in his heart, and thrust the tassel of the jade fan into Jinghua's hair and said: "Jingcai girl, don't blame this palace for being harsh, you are now a concubine of the Son of Heaven, you should have the appearance of being the master, don't embarrass the emperor with cheap dresses." She tugged at Shizuka's sleeve and let out a snort of disgust. Then she stretched out her hand to Zhiya, and Zhiya immediately handed a newly made magnolia loose flower silk skirt to Jinghua.
Jinghua couldn't help but gasp when she looked at the well-textured skirt, where could she enjoy such a standard of clothing? Lee Yoon-hee is clearly mocking her for not being qualified enough this time! Besides, if she really wore such a dress and went out to show off, she would really be criticized when she was seen. As smart as she is, she knows that this gift is absolutely unacceptable: "Thank you for your concubine's promotion, but it's a pity that the concubine's status is low, and it is not appropriate to dress too gorgeously." Such a sophisticated system of uniformity, according to the current position of the concubine, can never be used beyond the norm. The concubine received the concubine's heart, but this reward was ...... Concubines can't be wanted. ”
"Heh, is this something that doesn't look down on the palace, or is it just not giving the palace face at all?" Lee Yoon-hee just wants her to know that even if she is promoted, she is not worthy!
"Concubines don't dare!" Shizuka was terrified.
"That's it. Since you can't accept clothes, this palace will reward you with what you can. Li Yunxi took a look at the armor in his hand, and said with an idea: "This armor is good in this palace, so I will reward you." You don't need the armor yet, but you can use it one day. This one...... Jing Cai Nu can't refuse, right? Lee Yoon-hee haughtily stretched her jade hand forward and motioned for Jinghua to wait for her to take off her armor. Jinghua endured the humiliation to remove her armor, anyway, this kind of thing is often done as a slave, and she doesn't care about doing it again. Jinghua was already very careful in the process of removing the armor, but somehow it still angered Lee Yoon-hee. Lee Yun-hee deliberately twisted her fingers when she unloaded her armor with Jinghua, and when she came up, she was slapped and reprimanded: "Bold slave, how do you serve?" Don't be guilty of hurting this palace! Li Yunxi blurted out the cheap title of "slave maid" in a hurry.
"Your concubine spares her life, the concubine didn't mean it!" Jinghua knelt down to plead guilty, and at this time she realized that no matter whether she was favored or not, she couldn't get rid of the contempt of others for her humble background, just like Huanyue and Muzhu in the past.
"The slave is not as beautiful as everyone else, and she can't do anything on the stage! Don't get out of the way yet! Lee Yun-hee didn't originally want to show goodwill, but now tearing his face can be counted as a bad breath. Jinghua was silent, and did not mention it when she did enough to quit.
Li Yunxi's humiliation of Jinghua soon reached the ears of the emperor and the queen, and the emperor naturally would not criticize the noble daughter of the Li Dynasty for the sake of a new favorite of the palace maid, and the incident finally ended with the queen's verbal admonition to the concubine. Shizuka was humiliated for no apparent reason, but the result was as everyone expected, and Shizuka could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood.
Li Yunxi was proud, she knew that the emperor and queen would not do anything to her, and she was in a good mood after winning the first battle, and she took two personal maids to Qingluan Pond to soak in the hot springs. Lee Yun-hee has an arrogant temperament and poor popularity, so he always avoids going to the bath alone when there are many people.
Lee Yoon-hee descended into the hot spring pool and leaned against the shore to relax, while Ji-ah and Ji-hye knelt next to her and poured water from her shoulders with a water scoop. Since she found out that the birthmark on her shoulder blade had disappeared, the intimate matter of bathing had been taken over by Mama Kim, because Mama Kim was the only one who knew the reason for the disappearance of her birthmark.
Of course, under Lee Yoon-hee's questioning, Mama Kim told the truth, and now Lee Yoon-hee also knows the hidden reason that shocked her. As for the extent of the shock, this is a later story.
Due to various reasons, Mama Jin could not accompany the palace this time, so she could only be served by two maidservants. Fortunately, Mama Jin was considerate and repainted a plum blossom birthmark for her with a special pigment, which will not fade when it is wiped with ordinary water and ordinary cloth, so she can rest assured that she can show her body in front of the two.
However, Lee Yoon-hee was careless for a while, and she forgot that the natural hot spring contains sulfur, which has the function of softening the skin and dissolving keratin, so it is a very effective dissolving agent for Lee Yoon-hee's "birthmark".
Li Yunxi changed her posture after soaking for a while, and in this short moment, the sharp-eyed Zhiya discovered her "abnormality", so she exclaimed: "Master...... Your, your birthmark is faded! ”
"What? How can it be? Lee Yoon-hee hurriedly turned his shoulders to check, and sure enough, he found that the pigment was dissolving and falling off. Lee Yoon-hee was frightened, angrily slapped Zhiya, and shouted: "Shut up!" Scream again that Hongu cut your tongue! Zhiya was so frightened that she was silent, and she covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Zhihui helplessly, and Zhihui was obviously at a loss.
Lee Yun-hee felt that something was wrong, how could he still have the leisure and leisure of bathing, so he hurriedly dressed and returned to Ning Xiangxie. When she returned, she warned the two maidservants to keep quiet, or they and their families would die without a place to bury.
For a moment, a trace of killing intent flashed in Lee Yoon-hee's mind, but for the sake of Ji-hye and Ji-ah, who were also credible people who had followed her since childhood, she gave up this idea. She still didn't lose her humanity in the end, but if she had known that the "soft-heartedness" at this moment would bring her catastrophe in the future, she would have disposed of the two without hesitation.
