Princess Jimo - Garden Confrontation (79)
Hanxing bit her lip: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave maid and the princess originally wanted to come to the imperial garden to collect some petals to make flower tea, but who knew that the princess had just squatted, and the slave maid in the flowers suddenly broke out and hit my princess directly, and it was the slave maid who roared." ”
"Is that so?" The queen frowned slightly, a little slave maid, she was so bold as to collide with the princess of Jimo?
Yuechan's face was aggrieved and innocent.
"The queen is graceful, the slave maid was panicked for a while, she didn't see the princess, so she accidentally bumped into it, and the slave also knew that it was a big crime to collide with the princess, so she could only beg the princess for forgiveness, but I didn't expect that the fifth princess still refused to forgive me." Yuechan's voice choked, and she portrayed herself as a sympathetic palace maid.
"No", Hanxing looked at Yuechan in disbelief, and hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, this palace maid is clearly not like this, she is obviously ......" The words did not fall, and was interrupted by the queen mother's reprimand.
"Presumptuous, in the harem, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense?!" The Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were angry, and the majestic deterrent meaning shrouded her.
Hanxing knelt down with a "plop": "Queen Mother, the slave really didn't talk nonsense, it was really her who suddenly broke out and hit my princess!" And her attitude is clearly not like this! Hanxing pointed to Yuechan behind her, hoping that the Queen Mother would believe her words.
The queen frowned: "The queen mother, for the time being, I can't fully believe the words of the palace maid who hit people, and what the fifth princess's personal palace maid said is not necessarily false. ”
"Ah Yi has a point, so what should I do?" The Queen Mother was a little troubled. These two people are both palace maids, and what they say sounds very true, but people don't know who to believe?
The queen's face remained unchanged and she proposed.
"Why don't you ask the fifth princess to tell me what happened? The words of the two palace maids are not to be believed, but the words of the princess are different. ”
The Queen Mother nodded appreciatively: "It's still Ah Yi, you Bingxue is smart", and then looked at Concubine Ji, who had been ignored for a long time.
"Fifth princess, you are an insider, let's talk about it."
Concubine Ji had been waiting for this moment for a long time, she blessed her body unhurriedly, her face was calm and calm, and she did not see the rumored stupidity and sluggishness, the queen's heart moved slightly, and she keenly smelled the unusual breath on Concubine Ji's body.
Concubine Ji looked at the queen's eyes and said slowly.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's words, what Hanxing said is true, it was when Shu'er leaned over to receive the dew, she was hit by this palace maid, this palace maid not only did not see the color of guilt and regret, but her attitude was arrogant and rude, Hanxing has always been upright, and she is loyal to Shu'er, so her voice is slightly louder, disturbing the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, after all, it is Shu'er's fault." Concubine Ji looked ashamed after speaking.
The queen looked at Concubine Ji with a guilty face, and her face became more and more gentle.
"Shu'er doesn't have to be too herself, it's not your fault, it's just that this short-sighted palace maid has made a mistake." The queen's voice is soft, I'm afraid that whoever is treated like this will be like a spring breeze.
Concubine Ji was grateful: "Queen Xie is considerate. ”
The Queen Mother, who had been listening on the side, nodded: "In this case, I will punish the palace maid who rushed into the princess with twenty boards, and then punish the thirty boards that are rude to the princess, and I will go to the Prudential Punishment Division tomorrow to receive the punishment." ”
"No, Queen Mother!" Yuechan, who was kneeling on the side, looked panicked: "Hanxing is the personal palace maid of the fifth princess, and the words of the fifth princess cannot be trusted!" Yuechan was afraid in her heart, if these fifty boards were hit, she might be half of her body!
The Queen Mother looked stunned: "Ah Yi, what this palace maid said is not unreasonable. ”
"But Shu'er is well-behaved by nature, how can she help a palace maid to favoritism?" The queen did not believe it.
Seeing this, Yuechan knew that this was her opportunity, so she kowtowed again and again, and cried in her words: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please spare the slave!" What the slave said is true! There is also an elderly father in the slave's family, and there are young and ignorant sisters below, all waiting for the slave's monthly salary! The slave and maid received the punishment, not to mention the physical pain, and even the monthly money was gone, and the slave and maid family would not be able to live! Yuechan burst into tears, which made people feel very sympathetic when they looked at it.
The queen was entangled in her heart, but she couldn't make a decision for a long time. From the bottom of her heart, she was willing to believe that this fifth princess, who had never made waves and lived in peace, but this palace maid cried so heartbreakingly, she couldn't help but hesitate a little again.
"Queen, you can do it." The Queen Mother said lightly.
Concubine Ji's eyes flashed slightly, the meaning of the Queen Mother's words was that she had handed over the power to make decisions to the queen, Concubine Ji was sure that her words had definitely made the queen believe in herself, but the queen had always been kind, Yuechan cried and pleaded, and brought a family with her, so as to ensure that the queen would feel pity.
Concubine Ji suddenly said: "Queen Mother, Shu'er has something to ask for." ”
The queen was slightly stunned, but still asked gently: "Shu'er can just say anything directly." "Because Jimoshu has a biological mother, and the biological mother has a high position of the concubine, it is inconvenient for him to come to his own Jiaofang Palace, so he has always cared little about the situation of Jimoshu, and later the palace gradually spread that the fifth princess Jimoshu has a sluggish face, slow thinking, and she still feels guilty, and she pities the concubine's temperament, from the time she first entered the palace, she only has the emperor, for the heirs, just to compete for the emperor's eyes, for Jimoshu, the concubine is only afraid that she has not really cared about it once, and she understands these in her heart, but he didn't stop it, now he sees that Jimoshu's expression is like an ordinary person, and even a little more elegant, with proper etiquette between words and deeds, and he feels a little more comfortable, and he can't help but put his tone more gentle.
"Shu'er asked the queen to exempt this palace maid from punishment." Concubine Ji pointed to Yuechan on the ground.
Hanxing looked at Ji Feiyin puzzled.
Yuechan was startled, and looked at Ji Feiyin with a wary face.
The Queen Mother's face was full of doubts.
Only Yingxing, the complexion remains the same.
"Why? This palace maid bumped into you, and she should be punished according to the palace rules. The Queen Mother explained.
Concubine Ji bowed because of Yingying: "Just thinking that she was hit by someone for no reason is very painful, but listening to this palace maid, such a situation at home, she feels even more painful, therefore, Shu'er asks the queen mother, the queen mother, to exempt her from punishment!" Concubine Ji said sincerely.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Good!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Ji with appreciation: "It is worthy of being the princess of my Jimo, it is really rare to have such a realm!" ”
Hanxing's expression was faintly excited, his master was appreciated by the Queen Mother today, and he will only become more and more respected in the palace in the future!
Yingxing was overjoyed in her heart: The Queen Mother has not heard such a high evaluation for a long time.
Concubine Ji seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and her face was calm. Looking at the queen's tangled appearance, it was obvious that she believed her words, but she hesitated because the palace maid was very pitiful, if she didn't do this, it would only make the queen embarrassed, on the contrary, if she offered to exempt the palace maid from punishment, the queen would not only not feel embarrassed, but also thank herself, maybe even the queen mother would look down on herself.
As for this palace maid? I can't hide from the first day of junior high and can't hide from fifteen, didn't I come just to find out her, a thief who stole silver?! Today is just right, under everyone's noses, see how she can quibble later?!
The queen smiled lightly: "Shu'er has really grown up, this kind of bearing, even your second sister, may not be comparable." Speaking of Ji Moyue, the queen smiled gently.
Concubine Ji lowered her head embarrassedly: "How can Shu'er be compared with the second sister?" The second sister cooperated with the sixth palace, for everyone, Shu'er just did a small thing, how can the second sister have high credit? Concubine Ji quietly returned the queen's praise.
Seeing Concubine Ji praising her emperor like this, the queen's face smiled even deeper.
"Shu'er, don't be modest, this palace says hello, you are good."
Hanxing hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, princess, the queen is right!" ”
"Hanxing!" Looking at herself as such an immodest palace maid, Concubine Ji had an abnormal headache: "Hanxing has no form, which makes the queen smile." ”
"It's nothing", the queen looked at Hanxing's immature face: "This palace thinks that the palace maid next to you is very pleasing, not only dare to speak for the master, but also speak extraordinarily, which reminds the palace of the time when he was not out of the cabinet...... "Thinking of the past, the queen recalled."
As soon as the words fell, Ziqing's complexion changed.
"Okay", as if it was inappropriate, the queen hurriedly diverted the topic: "Since Shu'er pleaded, then I won't punish you, next time you walk, you have to look at it, don't make such a low-level mistake again." The queen instructed Yuechan, who was kneeling on the side.
Yuechan lowered her head: "Yes, slave and maid, thank you for the magnanimity of the queen mother, thank you for the magnanimity of the fifth princess!" ”
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "Get up and go and do your own thing." ”
"Yes." Yuechan held back the sore knees that had already knelt, lifted her skirt and slowly got up.
As Yuechan got up, the silver ticket in front of her chest gradually revealed a corner, Concubine Ji squinted, in fact, she intended to let Yuechan bump into herself, Yuechan was ordered by the order of the concubine to secretly intercept the silver ticket sent by the concubine's family from outside the palace, but Yuechan was greedy, knowing that the concubine would not check the amount of these silver tickets, she gradually became bolder, and every time she changed the silver ticket, she came to the remote garden, and took out one or two from the silver ticket. After Yuechan finished counting the silver tickets, she turned around, and naturally bumped into Concubine Ji. As for the appearance of the Queen Mother and the Queen, it was purely unexpected by Concubine Ji, but it was better to come, looking at Yuechan without noticing that the silver ticket had been revealed, Concubine Ji sneered in her heart, this matter will definitely be known to everyone in the palace today, and the person who designed it secretly should be punished......
"It's so lively here!" A delicate and soft female voice came, and everyone looked up, and a woman in palace clothes walked towards this direction.
