Chapter 630: Charity Auction
The woman kneeling in the temple raised her head tremblingly.
Under the long hair that was burned badly, a bruised and purple face was a little frightened.
The queen's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and after hovering for a moment in that familiar face, she lowered her eyes again, as if she didn't care.
"Slave... The slave and the maid are, and the slave and the maid are the people in the palace of the queen's mother. Your Majesty Mingjian, slave maid, did not set fire. The slave and maid are wronged, please see your majesty! ”
The palace maid, who was still flustered just now, gradually settled down.
Kowtow violently on the ground, even if there is blood on the forehead.
The quiet hall, in her non-stop kowtowing, there were some strange changes.
Lin Mengya sat quietly on the side, worthy of being the person next to the queen, she recovered so quickly, and she didn't look out of proportion at all.
However, the winner has not yet been decided, so she just needs to watch the play with peace of mind.
"I'm asking you why you went to the Splendid Palace."
Who knows, His Majesty was unmoved, a pair of dragon eyes gradually revealed, and he spoke indifferently, and suddenly, the pretended calmness on the palace maid's face was also a little slight.
"Your Majesty, slave... The slave is because..."
No matter what she said, if she appeared in the Splendid Palace for no reason, she would definitely not be able to get out if she didn't find a suitable reason.
Who knows, the palace maid just glanced up at the queen, then gritted her teeth, slammed on the ground, and said loudly.
"Damn it! The slave maid wanted to steal the things in the Splendid Palace, but unexpectedly, she inadvertently knocked over the oil lamp in the side hall, which caused a fire, and asked Your Majesty to punish her. ”
Such a neat admission, even Lin Mengya didn't expect it.
subconsciously glanced at the queen mother, who was watching the play quietly, but she didn't see her expression, there was anything abnormal.
She originally wanted to let the disaster go down, rescue the Imperial Concubine Dehui, and then create some trouble for the queen.
didn't expect that at the beginning, the queen's henchmen would be broken into an end.
Although she is a little unwilling, in the end, today's protagonist is not her.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the concubine."
Emperor Dehui did not condemn that person sharply, nor did she have a bitter hatred and asked His Majesty to call the shots.
On the contrary, a gentle and lovely smile on his face, with a little compassion in his beautiful eyes.
"You say."
The emperor was undecided, and in the palace, only Emperor Dehui dared to speak.
gave a gentle salute, and when the Imperial Concubine Dehui raised her head again, the corners of her lips were curved, but with a soft smile.
"In fact, Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry about this, the concubine believes that this palace maid is also an unintentional mistake. Since she is a member of the queen's palace, she must have been selected by thousands of people, and her character and talent are indeed superior. However, no one is perfect, let alone those who can't help themselves. They have no worries about food and clothing in the palace, but the family members outside the palace may have encountered some difficulties. Moreover, she did not go to other Niangniang's palace, only to the old palace of the concubine. Presumably, he just wants to exchange some worthless items for money to save the moment. Although this is a pitiful situation, the mistake must be made. If His Majesty wants to punish her, it is also reasonable. However, there is something about the concubine who wants to ask for His Majesty's grace. ”
The gentle and tactful voice of Emperor Dehui said eloquently, and everyone couldn't help but have a different degree of good impression of this concubine.
Her palace was burned, but she didn't expect that Her Majesty would build her a more gorgeous palace, and secondly, she didn't ask the emperor to severely punish the arsonists.
Such a gentle and generous woman is enough to afford the noble position of imperial concubine.
"Speak."
The emperor still cherishes words like gold, but his tone, after all, is much more relaxed.
It seems that this matter was handled by the imperial concubine, and sure enough, it was even more sacred.
"The concubine wants to serve the chamberlain in the palace, and the palace maid asks for a favor. They also have families outside, and in the inner palace, they can neither inherit the joy nor pass on the ancestry. For them, it's a little too cruel. Therefore, the concubine wanted to change the damaged place of the Splendid Palace into a field. The annual harvest is used to let these palace people subsidize their families, as long as their families are in trouble, let them know in advance, and then let people verify it, if it is true, they will lend them two silver to use. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? ”
As soon as Emperor Dehui finished speaking, everyone below was in an uproar.
I didn't expect her to be so compassionate. Not only should he turn his palace into a field, but he should also use the income from the field to do this kind of good deed.
Some of the more clever royal nobles even wanted to come to the court with this kind and beautiful imperial concubine.
Your Majesty, too, seemed a little surprised. After taking a deep look at his imperial concubine, the severity on his face has been replaced by tenderness.
"It's rare for you to have such compassion, well, I'm fine. However, the fields converted into the Splendid Palace can only be harvested a few loads. Changing to silver taels may not be able to solve the urgent need. Since the imperial concubine mentioned it, then everyone will express their opinions and complete the matter for the imperial concubine. ”
His Majesty's final word also made the matter of the Splendid Palace go through lightly.
I don't know who mentioned it, saying that maybe this fire was a test given by God to Emperor Dehui's concubine.
Presumably, the performance of Emperor Dehui at this time was also very satisfying.
Everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and even when the queen's palace people were pressed down by the guards, no one noticed it except for the queen and Lin Mengya.
Although the queen is still very polite, noble and generous. But now the person who is hotly discussed turned out to be her old enemy, in the end, it still made her eyes a little colder.
Lin Mengya lightly opened her lips and clicked on the sweet fruit brew in the cup, Rao is the wisdom of the queen, I am afraid that it is, and I did not guess why there was such a change in today's canonization ceremony.
The discussion became even more fervent with His Majesty's acquiescence.
But everyone has said that the past is just some donations and donations.
This will not only not be able to express one's own mind, but also make people feel that there is a suspicion of comparison. In the end, it made a mess of each other.
Seeing that everyone didn't have any good ideas, Emperor Dehui couldn't help but set her eyes on a keen and talented daughter-in-law.
Immediately, there was a palace concubine who was good friends with Emperor Dehui, and immediately followed her wishes and launched Lin Mengya.
"Prince Yu, you have always had the most ideas. You can't stay out of things like this now. ”
In such an atmosphere, Lin Mengya is no longer able to shrink to the side and watch from the wall.
Lin Mengya slowly stood up, lowered her eyes, and said softly.
"Enlighten the father, the imperial concubine is merciful. However, the daughter-in-law felt that all the royal relatives present also had this intention. Why don't you change the crops in the fields that the Splendid Palace has turned into an auction so that everyone can participate here. Moreover, regardless of whether the price is high or low, everyone is doing good deeds, and everyone should feel grateful to everyone. It's just that the minister's daughter-in-law thinks that it would be a pity if such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people was chosen on an ordinary day. ”
From the moment Emperor Dehui made this suggestion, Lin Mengya thought of this idea.
In fact, it is not new, after all, in modern society, the names of various charity auctions have long made people not feel that they are anything special.
A group of wealthy people gather together once a year in the name of charity. No matter what they got or how much money they spent, as long as the reputation spreads, for them, it is a glory that money can't buy.
What's more, this is a matter of showing his face in front of the emperor, who would refuse?
Sure enough, Lin Mengya's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone present.
His Majesty thought for a moment before he spoke.
"What Mengya said makes sense, this matter can't be sloppy, it's better to let the stargazer choose a good time."
Such a cherished attitude also let the royal relatives present know that the emperor had approved this matter. Naturally, one by one, they will take it as a serious matter.
The criticism of Emperor Dehui's concubine was eliminated invisibly.
Even the queen didn't guess what the intention of this chaos was.
It's just that when she saw the royal family relatives present with the kind of happy and sincere attitude towards Emperor Dehui, the queen's heart couldn't help but rise a faint sense of crisis.
Could it be that their purpose is-
The queen's sharp beautiful eyes made a big confrontation with Lin Mengya.
At the intersection of the two, Lin Mengya had a hint of a sneer, which made the queen finally understand what she meant.
They really covet the throne of their own queen!
At this moment, she was completely clear about the purpose of these people.
The slut did find out where the slut was, but they didn't get the slut out right away.
Instead, I was thinking of a way to let His Majesty allow the position of the slut imperial concubine!
No, perhaps, His Majesty also knew their plans. Otherwise, how could they let that slut show such a big flaw and make themselves suspicious.
Later, the burning of the palace was just to make the final foreshadowing for the auction proposed by Lin Mengya.
In this scene, she and her palace maid were all teased. Because they know perfectly well that in order to clear up suspicions, they cannot do anything at the canonization ceremony.
That's why they're so bold.
And all this is in order to let the slut get the favor of the royal family, and then, in order to seize his own throne, accumulate means!
It's just a flash of lightning, and the queen has figured out what happened.
It's a risky move, and now, the slut has become a hot person. Even if you want to get rid of her yourself, there will be many troubles.
It's just that they can't help but underestimate themselves, right?
The hypocrisy on the queen's face subsided, and a trace of cruel coldness climbed up to the majestic phoenix face.
