Chapter 208: Punishment for kneeling
What's the situation? actually had to kneel for four hours, Shi Yingqiu secretly thought in his heart, isn't four hours eight hours? It's just that if she is to kneel in Cining Palace for eight hours, will he still be able to live?
But when Shi Yingqiu raised his head to look at the Queen Mother and wanted to open his mouth to plead, he met the Queen Mother's majestic eyes, as if to say, if you dare to open your mouth to plead, you will add time.
Hongmei gently patted her shoulder next to Shi Yingqiu, signaling her not to dwell on this matter anymore, and quickly got up and went out to kneel, in order to appease the anger of the Queen Mother.
Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, although she was full of grievances in her heart, Shi Yingqiu had scolded Ye Junhao countless times in her heart, just do it, I didn't expect it to be so real, and now she is punished and kneeling here.
"Without the permission of the mourning family, no one is allowed to send food to Princess Rong'an, and it is not allowed to give her an umbrella, just look at her kneeling like this." When Shi Yingqiu was about to leave the room, she suddenly heard the Queen Mother behind her say this.
When she heard these words, Shi Yingqiu's whole person almost fainted, she didn't eat or drink for four hours, how could she stand it if she knelt there?
Shi Yingqiu just wanted to turn her head and say a few good words to the Queen Mother to ask for mercy, but she was stopped by Hongmei, she gave Shi Yingqiu a look, signaling her not to talk nonsense now.
In the courtyard, Shi Yingqiu knelt there like this, facing the big sun above his head, it was morning time, and the sun had just risen, and it was not too hot, but if he counted it for eight hours, he would have to kneel from morning to afternoon.
During this period, he couldn't eat lunch, and he had to kneel like this all the time, and it was estimated that he didn't even have to drink saliva, and Shi Yingqiu's whole heart was full of grievances.
Ye Jun Hao, Ye Jun Hao, when are you going to save me? If you don't come again, I will really kneel and die in Cining Palace, Shi Yingqiu thought secretly in her heart.
And in the study, as soon as Ye Junhao entered the study, he also heard a thunderous angry voice: "Kneel down for me, it's only been a few days, you have made such a big deal in the capital, and the city is full of turmoil, I asked you to go home to ask you to reflect on it, what about you?" What did you do? ”
When Ye Junhao entered the palace today, he deliberately didn't dress up, so the whole person looked a little sloppy, and when he heard this, he looked up at the imperial brother sitting on the dragon chair with hazy eyes.
"The younger brother is naturally thinking about it at home, feeling that although he is taught by his father and loved by his mother, he is always less than one ten-thousandth of the royal brother, and he can't even do this little thing well, but he wants to make the royal brother worry about tiredness, and he feels very guilty, and he feels that he has failed his father and mother, and he is a useless talent, since the younger brother is a useless person, it is better to cherish the hard-won glory and wealth in this life, and also be an idle prince." Ye Junhao chuckled, his tone full of contempt for himself.
When the emperor heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked down at Ye Junhao below, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
"You are my own brother, you represent not only yourself, but also the face of the heavenly family, but you linger in the Qinglou every day, what kind of system does this land of smoke and willows become? Look at the way you are now, giving up on yourself all day long, if your father sees it, how angry and disappointed will he be? The first half of the emperor's sentence was anger, and the second half of the sentence turned into regret.
When he heard this, the corners of Ye Junhao's mouth hooked up a trace of a lost smile: "The imperial brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, although the father and the emperor have not shown their own attitude since childhood, but the strict feeling for the imperial brother has surpassed all our brothers." ”
When he said this, Ye Junhao suddenly didn't know what he thought, and he smiled, his expression was full of vain.
"The imperial brother finally handed over the disaster relief matter to the minister's brother to do, and the minister's brother should have done it properly, but he never thought that there was such a mistake, which has betrayed the emperor's brother's intentions, and the minister's brother feels guilty." As he spoke, Ye Junhao kowtowed heavily on the ground, and the emperor was a little stunned by this action.
When he raised his head and stood up, Ye Junhao didn't wait for the emperor to speak, so he continued to speak: "Second, the younger brother went back to think about it, and after reflecting on himself, he still felt that he was not qualified for the important tasks of the court, but as the prince of the heavenly family, he couldn't help the king share his worries, which was a second crime, so the younger brother couldn't think about it, so he had to drink every day to relieve his sorrows." ”
When he heard this, the emperor sneered, slapped the table, pointed at Ye Junhao and said, "I can give me nonsense here, and my tongue is like a spring." ”
If you want to drink, you want to drink bars, and you still find so many excuses, just make excuses, and push this excuse on the emperor one by one, as if the emperor wants him to do these things.
The two of them were talking here, and suddenly a little palace maid came in hurriedly and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, I found Princess Rong'an to enter the palace, and I lost my temper, and Princess Rong'an was punished for kneeling in the courtyard of Cining Palace for four hours. ”
Four hours on the counter, as soon as he heard this, Ye Junhao's whole face changed.
Four hours and eight hours, and she can't eat or drink, if Shi Yingqiu is to kneel, I'm afraid that her whole person will be wasted.
After hearing the news, Ye Junhao was already worried in his heart, but he still looked cynical and indifferent: "The queen mother is right, how can a princess run to the Qinglou with a sword to chase and cut her husband, isn't this a loss of face?" ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the emperor directly took the opportunity to point at Ye Junhao and said: "As a prince, you don't want to make progress, you only know how to spend all your time drinking, and the princess goes to ask you to go back to the house, which is reasonable, but you don't listen to the princess, and argue with the princess in public, this is your fault." ”
When the emperor said this, Ye Junhao was stunned, but he still had a little joy in his heart, the emperor said this, could he take the opportunity to pick up Shi Yingqiu back?
"Yes! What the royal brother said is that even the princess is doing better than her brother now, so what do you need your brother to do? Ye Junhao chuckled as he spoke, as if the world had exhausted him.
When he heard this, the emperor really couldn't bear it anymore, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Junhao: "You go back to me, take your princess back to the house, reflect on yourself, and when you reflect well, when will you come to see me again!" ”
Ye Junhao wanted this sentence, and he kowtowed the ground: "Brother Chen, thank you for the grace of the imperial brother." ”
By the time Yejunhao arrived at Cining Palace, Shi Yingqiu had been kneeling for more than half an hour, and now she only felt a tingling sensation in her knees.
This feeling made her really uncomfortable, but the palace maids who came in and out looked at her from time to time, which made Shi Yingqiu's heart even more uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable thing is that this time also happened to be when those ladies in the palace came to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, they came here and saw Shi Yingqiu kneeling on the ground, some people were gloating in their eyes, and some people were completely holding a good show.
"Niangniang, bear with it a little longer, and it will be fine after a while." Hongmei is now kneeling beside her with Shi Yingqiu, but compared to Shi Yingqiu, Hongmei is much more professional.
Shi Yingqiu had a lot of things to say in her heart, but this was in the palace, so she was not allowed to speak casually.
After finally hearing a rush of footsteps outside, Ye Junhao came in from the outside quickly.
When he saw Shi Yingqiu kneeling here, Ye Junhao only showed a disgusted expression, didn't say anything, and entered Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly when she saw Ye Junhao coming in: "What? Enough of playing outside, remember when you had a queen mother here? ”
"The lesson of the queen mother is that this matter is reckless by the son, and I won't dare next time anyway." Ye Junhao knelt on the ground and said with a sincere confession.
When the Queen Mother saw that it was Ye Junhao, her mood was slightly better, and her tone was calmer: "Didn't the mourning family say that you children should not be allowed to go out to play, but no matter how you play, there should be a degree, provoke the princess to personally carry the sword to you, is this something that a husband should do?" ”
When he heard this, Ye Junhao could only bow his head and respond "yes".
"Queen Mother, my son has a few words I want to say to you." Ye Junhao turned his head and glanced at the people around him as he spoke, and the Queen Mother waved her hand to let them all go down first for the time being.
Shi Yingqiu didn't know what Ye Junhao was going to do now, what she was thinking about in her heart was to save herself quickly, if she knelt here for another hour, she was afraid that she would go crazy.
I don't know how long the two people inside have been talking, anyway, in Shi Yingqiu's opinion, it should have been a long time.
Just when Shi Yingqiu's heart was about to collapse, Ye Junhao finally came out of it, walked slowly in front of Shi Yingqiu, and looked at her with disgust.
"The Queen Mother told you to come in." After Ye Junhao said this, he turned around and entered the house directly, without even looking at Shi Yingqiu.
After this sentence, Shi Yingqiu said "oh", she wanted to stand up, but because she had been kneeling for a long time, the moment she wanted to stand up, she suddenly knelt on the ground.
Ye Junhao's eyes saw this scene, and he subconsciously reached out to hug Shi Yingqiu, but when he thought of something, he retracted his hand stiffly.
