"The side concubine copied the palace rules fifty times, and was grounded for ten days. Set an example! If the offense is repeated, the punishment will be severe. ”

In this lawsuit, everyone is at fault, so the two of them were punished together. As the saying goes, each plays fifty boards.

Wang Jingshu seems to be very fair, but in fact, she still favors the side concubine, and sometimes Fengyi's words are really too ugly, and even she doesn't want to pay attention to it. Now that Guo has been slapped by the side concubine, and he has punished her, he must always be able to be quiet for a while.

Grounded for ten days, this punishment is very serious, Guo Yizhu is unwilling, "The princess is unfair, and the concubine has to appeal to the queen." ”

"Appeal? Oh," Wang Jingshu laughed instead of being angry, "Our Fengyi actually said that it was unfair and wanted to appeal to the queen mother." In this case, you copy the palace rules fifty times like the side concubine, but just now you said the side concubine, you are limited to copy it within half a day. How is it? ”

Chen Eryan was willing to admit the princess's punishment, but she said coldly to Guo Yizhu, she has always been dissatisfied with this woman, "Presumably fifty times is not difficult for Fengyi, Fengyi has been in the palace as a maid since he was a child, and he can get the queen's blue eyes to serve the prince, this palace rule must be kept in mind, and the back is ripe." ”

"Side concubine, you ......" is naturally not a problem to memorize, but it is difficult to write. Most of the palace maids can't write.

Wang Jingshu didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she directly ordered her to go back to Fengyi Courtyard and grounded.

Guo Shi is not there. The room was quiet for a while. Wang Jingshu sighed lightly at Chen Eryan, "It's not right for you to beat Guo's family, no matter what, she has become the prince's woman, and she is the first woman, and people say that it depends on the owner to beat the dog." If you are angry in the future, don't do it yourself. Justified can become unreasonable. ”

Chen Eryan understood, "Yes." ”

"I don't care what the Chen Mansion is, but this is the palace, everything has rules and regulations, and now we live in the palace, so if the prince's wife and concubine make a mistake, we have to tell the queen first, and the queen will decide. Even if he is really angry, he should be handed over to the Shanggong Bureau for punishment. Lynching is not to be used. ”

"Yes."

"The palace rules have been copied to me fifty times, and there is no need to say much about the rest, since you are in the palace, you should be familiar with the palace rules." Wang Jingshu didn't want to talk to her about anything else, "Sometimes it's pointless to be reckless, and it's the last word to endure what others can't bear." ”

Chen Eryan was still angry in her heart, it was angry with the Guo family, and being grounded for ten days was actually cheaper for her, but she was angry at Wang Jingshu, "But the concubine just can't learn the princess's forbearance." ”

Wang Jingshu heard the annoyance in her tone, disagreed, and smiled tentatively: "In this palace, what can you do if you can't bear it?" ”

Chen Eryan raised her eyebrows, but did not speak. I can't bear it, and there is nothing I can do.

Immediately, Wang Jingshu waved Chen Eryan away, and she didn't want to say more at this moment.

As soon as the side concubine left, the female historian who recorded the history of Tong held the booklet to use the seal. This time it's Wang Jingshu's own name.

As soon as the seal was used, the events of this night were confirmed.

But Wang Jingshu's heart is not as happy as Fang Cai, perhaps because of Guo's words.

"Master, it's time for breakfast. Wait a while, I'm going to go to Princess Chongfu's appointment. ”

I didn't go because I was delayed yesterday, so I have to go today. Taking into account Princess Chongfu's covenant, Wang Jingshu did not leave the matter of punishing the side concubine in time. But this breakfast, she really didn't have the heart to use it, "Don't put it on the table, I don't want to use it." When Mama Huifen heard her say this, she came to persuade her, "It's been several hours since last night, and if you don't eat, how can it be done?" Master, you are conditioning your body now, and not eating is even worse for your body. ”

"I really don't want to use it."

often eats from time to time, which has become a bad habit that Wang Jingshu has developed after entering the imperial city.

Mama Huifen saw that she was not in a good mood and did not dare to persuade her.

Wang Jingshu looked at the accounts at first, and when the time came, she ordered the palace people to invite the side concubines, and they should go to yesterday's appointment. At this time, Chen Eryan went to Fengyi Hall to pay the penalty and came back, and not long after entering her courtyard, she followed her to the Tongxin Hall where Princess Chongfu lived.

The two walked side by side, and there was only the sound of squirming footsteps.

The two of them may have a disagreement, but at the moment they are also calm, neither of them is a person who hates each other for such a trivial matter, and they are open-minded.

"You went to the queen mother, what did she say?" Wang Jingshu just asked, but after asking, she was secretly annoyed, and added, "Actually, she doesn't have to care about what she says." ”

"I didn't see the queen mother, but I heard that she took the concubines to the queen mother to say goodbye."

Chen Eryan suddenly felt that such a decent day was so boring, every day was morning and dusk and three meals, from opening her eyes in the morning to closing her eyes at night. There is no time for it to be too special. The people in this house are like this, from dawn until dark. Even the queen spends the day in a restrained manner, except for asking An to deal with palace affairs, the rest of the hours are waiting. As for what are you waiting for? Year after year, day after day, waiting for when the emperor will come.

Suddenly I want to go to Pingzhou, the fief of King Ning, maybe when I get there, the days will be different, "Will the days of the fiefdom be different than now?" What does a fiefdom look like? ”

Wang Jingshu seemed to understand what was in her words, "When you get there, it's all the same." Whether it is the palace or the imperial city, the days are still days, and they have to be taken care of. Then he asked, "Could it be that the concubine has never been to the north?" ”

Chen Eryan shook her head helplessly, she was not in good health since she was a child, and she never followed her relatives back to the far north to see, "From my birth to now, I have been in Kyoto, and I have never been out of Kyoto." ”

Wang Jingshu inevitably recalled the days in the north in the past, and the corners of her nostalgic mouth hooked up a smile, "I've been to the north, and it's colder than here in winter." ”

Speaking of a cold word, Chen Eryan couldn't help but shrink, but she was curious, "What about other times?" ”

"When I go in the future, the side concubine will have to taste it carefully, and she will live up to this life."

Yes, I'm going to spend my whole life there.

Chen Eryan's heart is like a mirror, she is destined to be far away from her hometown when she becomes the concubine of King Ning, and she has not yet left, this Kyoto is already her hometown in her consciousness. Wang Jingshu reminded, "I know you have a lot of dowry, you have to think clearly about how to deal with it?" Is it to be taken to the north, or is it stored in Chen's mansion? ”

The question never thought about, "This ......"

"I have ordered the palace maids to take stock of the treasury, and those large dowries must be arranged well as soon as possible, so that they will not be too rushed at that time."

Chen Eryan nodded in agreement, this is a kind reminder from the princess, she really should think about this matter, she has a lot of calligraphy and paintings to marry. Then he asked, "Princess Chongfu today, what is the banquet for?" Will it be Hongmen ......?"

Some words can only be understood but not spoken, Wang Jingshu interrupted her in time, "It shouldn't be." ”

"The princess is a very good person, you don't have to be nervous."

In this way, Chen Eryan was also a little relieved, "Yes." ”

The two chatted with each other, and it was not until they were outside the Tongxin Hall that the conversation stopped.

The princess in the palace had already gotten the news, and came out to greet her in person, a peach-colored jacket lined her very brightly, it was rare to see the eldest princess wearing this color, coupled with her first-class appearance, it was really beautiful, and it was very different from the dull appearance in the past. Seeing Wang Jingshu, she held hands affectionately, "Ouch, the fourth brother and sister are finally here, but I have waited from yesterday to today." ”

Wang Jingshu was a little flattered, it was rare to see her so intimate, she had never seen her before, "I was delayed yesterday, and I came early this morning." The eldest sister is gracious, and it is difficult for me to wait. ”

The three of them entered the hall, and it was very elegantly and freshly furnished.

"Just sit down." Princess Chongfu insisted on helping her sit first, and asked Chen Eryan to sit, she had seen the side concubine a few times in the Ninghui Palace, not too strange, but not much close.

Immediately, the people of the palace served tea.

It wasn't until there was no one in the hall that Wang Jingshu mentioned, "Let's just go to the 'banquet' today?" ”

Princess Chongfu laughed Rulan, "Where did you come from for the banquet, it's just that I just asked you to come and sit down." ”

"The princess is straight to the point, why beat around the bush?"

Chen Eryan's words stiffened the atmosphere, Princess Chongfu is a princess, how can a prince and concubine provoke majesty, "You have such a temperament, you don't know what my imperial brother likes about you?" ”

Her straightforwardness is not very popular with the people in the palace. But Chen Eryan is this kind of character, maybe she hasn't been used to the palace for a long time, and she still maintains her true nature.

Wang Jingshu eased the atmosphere, "Princess, the side concubine has never been malicious, it's just that she has a temperament, which is true in the palace." ”

"You quite like it," Princess Chongfu knew that the concubine had no ill intentions, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to let it go with such a fluttering word, "I came today to show the two of you a musician and listen to a tune." ”

Legong?

Wang Jingshu knew what she meant, "This musician's surname is Du?" ”

Princess Chongfu was very strange, "Exactly, how do you know?" I remember that the princess rarely listened to music. ”

"A few days ago, I listened to music in the East Palace, and I heard a little."

In a word, there is a deep meaning, and the other two people know.

Now Princess Chongfu is no longer beating around the bush, and asks bluntly, "Then do you know the meaning of the East Palace?" ”

Wang Jingshu was hindered by Chen Eryan's side, and it was difficult to answer at first, but in the end she still said, two words, "I know." ”

Princess Chongfu bowed slightly, "This princess has also heard a little, but I don't know what the princess does?" ”

Chen Eryan listened to dumb riddles there. She had no idea what was going on.

There was no sound in the hall for a long time. Wang Jingshu didn't think about what to do at all, and she was suddenly asked, she was also nerve-wracking, how should she deal with it?

"Actually, there is joy in the East Palace, it doesn't matter what kind of person the fifth princess is."

Princess Chongfu said more clearly, "The joy of the East Palace does not mean that there are successors to Jiangshan Sheji, it also depends on whether the mother who sends the child can make the princess a man in one fell swoop." It's too early to tell. ”

It stands to reason that it should be. Wang Jingshu asked rhetorically: "So what does the princess mean?" ”

"Even if the crown princess really wins a man in one fell swoop, it doesn't mean that everything is worry-free. Even if the crown princess is worry-free, it does not mean that King Ning will have no worries. ”

Chen Eryan already understood this when she heard this, she and Wang Jingshu glanced at each other, it turned out that this invitation meant this.

In this palace, everyone has their own thoughts.
