Chapter 44 Punishment
When Cheng Jingyun just returned to the gate of Prince Jin's mansion, she saw Foshan standing at the door with an anxious face, as if waiting for someone.
"Brother Foshan, what are you doing here?" Cheng Jingyun asked.
"My ancestor, you're back!" When Foshan saw Cheng Jingyun, the nervous tone on her face eased.
Seeing this, Cheng Jingyun was a little confused by Foshan, and wondered: "Brother Foshan, what happened in the house?" β
"Oops!" Foshan patted his thigh and said, "Today, the princess suddenly came to the front yard, saying that she was looking for you, and we said that you went to the pharmacy." So the princess sent someone to look for you at the pharmacy, and the result was ......"
Although Foshan's words were not finished, she already understood what was happening, and she left the pharmacy before noon, if Ye Xushuang went to the pharmacy to inquire, she could find out. And now it's sunset, I'm afraid I need to explain it well.
It's just that why this Ye Xushuang suddenly found herself?
Cheng Jingyun was full of doubts and was about to enter the mansion to take a look, while Foshan called behind him: "Buyun, be careful, I see that the princess is not in a very good mood today." β
Hearing this, Cheng Jingyun turned around and bowed slightly, expressing her gratitude to Foshan for reminding her this time, "Thank you Brother Foshan for reminding her." β
Then she entered the house, and when she passed the weeping flower gate, she saw the big girl beside Ye Xushuang waiting there.
"Buyun, the princess is invited!"
No matter how Xin'er looks at Cheng Jingyun now, she feels that this person who made her be called up by the princess in the middle of the night is very unpleasant, and her voice is very cold.
Seeing this, Cheng Jingyun didn't say much, but followed her to Ningxiang Pavilion.
"Buyun has seen the princess." As soon as she saw Ye Xushuang, Cheng Jingyun greeted her.
Ye Xushuang, who was sitting above, didn't speak, sipped tea, her eyes swept over Cheng Jingyun below, and she didn't speak.
About half a moment later, Ye Xushuang saw that Cheng Jingyun's expression had not loosened a little, and the rules were so good that people couldn't find a single mistake, so she put down the teacup and scolded.
"Get on your knees! Do you know what this palace called you to come to? β
Hearing Ye Xushuang say this, Cheng Jingyun knelt down unhurriedly and explained: "Back to the princess, the slave maid went out to buy today, and accidentally delayed the hour, and asked the princess to forgive the slave maid." β
"Delayed?" Ye Xushuang said coldly, "The guys in the pharmacy saw that it was seven minutes when they left the pharmacy, and now it is four minutes of the unitary hour, I don't know what Miss Buyun has done for most of the day." β
Cheng Jingyun couldn't tell her about stalking Song Jinghe, so she could only use Song Zhancheng as an excuse: "This matter is the prince's business, and I ask the princess to forgive Buyun for not being able to tell him." β
"Bang!" When Ye Xushuang heard this, she slapped the table angrily, "The matter of the prince? Miss Buyun is loyal to her own prince! β
Ye Xushuang deliberately put the words 'own prince' in an accent and said: "That Buyun girl knows that this palace and the prince are husband and wife, and the prince's affairs are naturally the affairs of the palace, why can't the palace know?" β
Seeing this situation, Cheng Jingyun probably guessed that Ye Xushuang was afraid that she would see herself as an imaginary enemy at this time, so she would target herself like this. However, she still had to say: "If the prince is willing, he will talk to the princess, and this matter should not be said from the mouth of the slave." β
After listening to her words, Ye Xushuang felt that she was mocking herself for not being favored enough by Song Zhancheng, so she grabbed the tea cup at hand and threw it at Cheng Jingyun.
Cheng Jingyun didn't dare to avoid it, so she could only take a hard beating.
Fortunately, the tea in the teacup was already cold, and Cheng Jingyun would not be burned.
She didn't take the fight in the back house seriously, and because she had more important things in mind, she didn't plan to clash head-on with Ye Xushuang.
However, her forbearance turned into indifference and ridicule in Ye Xushuang's eyes.
What a Buyun!
Ye Xushuang pointed at Cheng Jingyun's nose and ordered sharply: "Maid Buyun, if you go out of the house to buy and fail to return to the house on time, you will be punished for flouting the rules of the palace!" β
After speaking, she thought carefully about how to take this opportunity to torture Bu Yun, and by the way, she calmed down her mood before she spoke: "Pass on the order of the main palace, deduct Bu Yun's monthly order for this month, and in additionββ"
She stared coldly at the kneeling Bu Yun, "You go to the courtyard and kneel for two hours, you don't have to use dinner tonight, you should have a long memory." β
Cheng Jingyun could see that this person was made out of nothing, but now that the identity gap was in front of her, it was useless for her to say more, so she had to respond.
After Cheng Jingyun went out to punish her for kneeling, Ye Xushuang in the room instructed Xin'er to change her tea, and felt that her mood that had been depressed for several days was finally smooth.
In the front yard at this time, Song Zhancheng had already heard the news of Cheng Jingyun's return to his home, but he didn't see her come to him for a long time, so he asked someone: "Where is Buyun?" β
"Back to the prince, I heard that the princess invited Buyun over."
Song Zhancheng was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Because of what?" β
"The princess said that Buyun would be punished for not returning to the mansion on time when he left the mansion to buy, and he was punished for Buyun's monthly case this month. Now Bu Yun is being punished to kneel in the courtyard of the Ning Xiang Pavilion. β
"Nonsense!"
Song Zhancheng was angry, and immediately thought that it was autumn now, and the night was getting cooler, and Cheng Jingyun would definitely hurt herself if she knelt in the courtyard for a long time.
So he put on his cloak, took the mask that Cheng Jingyun gave him before to cover his face, and walked quickly towards Ning Xiang Pavilion.
In the courtyard of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, Cheng Jingyun was already a little unable to hold on. If it were in normal times, such a thing as kneeling would not be a matter to her, but today, she only had a pot of tea in the tea shop at noon left in her stomach, and she had almost run the entire imperial city when she followed Song Jinghe before......
Now Cheng Jingyun only felt dizzy, and stars began to emerge in front of her.
When Song Zhancheng came to Ningxiang Pavilion, he happened to see Cheng Jingyun's uncomfortable scene.
The maid who was in charge of staring at Cheng Jingyun at the door and not letting Cheng Jingyun be lazy saw Song Zhancheng coming, and hurriedly passed the word in.
Ye Xushuang was very unhappy when she learned that Song Zhancheng appeared, but she still tidied up her clothes and walked out of the house to greet her husband.
"Lord Wang, you're here." Ye Xushuang blessed the blessed body and said.
This is the first time that Song Zhancheng has come to her Ning Xiang Pavilion after she and Luo Jiu entered the mansion, she should be happy, Ye Xushuang thought to herself.
But she just couldn't be happy.
"Get up, this king is here to bring Buyun back." Song Zhancheng said coldly.
Ye Xushuang tightened the handkerchief in her hand, "Lord Wang, Buyun violated the rules of the government, can't the concubine punish her?" β
"Haven't you already fined her for a month? Still not satisfied? Song Zhancheng didn't look at Ye Xushuang, and his attitude towards her was more alienated and cold than that of strangers.
Seeing Song Zhancheng's disgusted expression, Ye Xushuang was even more aggrieved, "Lord Wang...... It's hard for you to come and see the concubine once......"
"The war on the border is not over, the people in the court are panicking, this king doesn't want to delay major events for the sake of his children's personal affairs, as a princess, should you also focus on the overall situation?" Song Zhancheng's cold eyes swept over Ye Xushuang's cheeks.
Thinking that Ye Xushuang had given Luo Jiu sterilization medicine before, his face sank even more, "Since you have entered the palace and become the princess of Jin, you should be sensible, what to do and what not to do, don't lose the royal face." β
Hearing this, Ye Xushuang understood what Song Zhancheng had thought of, and opened his mouth to defend himself, but saw that he had already turned around and walked towards Cheng Jingyun.
"Let's go." Song Zhancheng stretched out his hand to help Cheng Jingyun.
Cheng Jingyun already knew what her situation was, and quietly avoided Song Zhancheng's kindness, stood up slowly, lowered her eyes, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the prince and the princess." β
"You go back first." Song Zhancheng waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Jingyun to retreat.
