Chapter 16 The weak son goes down to the tile
In addition to the palace bureau, the palace officials who are responsible for the front of the palaces of the harem are all recorded as belonging to the palace department.
Aunt Su Xiao said that she is the imperial secretary of the Liangyi Palace, and colloquially speaking, she is the aunt in charge of the Liangyi Palace.
The Liangyi Hall was originally the place where the emperor held the inner court and listened to political deliberations on a daily basis. However, since the Holy Sleeping Manna Hall was drained, during the period of reconstruction, the emperor temporarily moved here to live.
On such a serious occasion, I slipped over to find Aunt Su, but I asked her some "inexplicable" questions, would I be scolded by her?
I wandered around the white marble steps of His Highness, and I couldn't make up my mind to ask someone to pass it on.
I was hesitating but suddenly there was a whining cry, I looked for the sound, quietly probed, and saw a woman kneeling at the gate of the Liangyi Hall crying and wiping away tears.
I took a closer look, hey~ Isn't this Zhou Guifei of Qingluan Palace?
Seeing a father-in-law coming out of the hall, I didn't know what to say to her, and Zhou Guifei, who was upset, was even more angry, and smashed the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears.
The palace maid beside Zhou Guifei stepped forward and half-coaxed her to persuade her to leave, but she still didn't leave. It wasn't until Aunt Su Xiao appeared, who seemed to be a lobbyist, that she didn't know what to persuade her, and then the concubine got up crying.
When she got down the steps, I went up to greet her, after all, a gift of jade is also a care for me.
When she saw me, the tears she had just put away came down again, hugged my neck, and made a reunion after a long absence: "Little dodder, you have the most ideas, help me think of a way, woo woo woo ......"
Zhou Guifei is actually eighteen or nineteen years old, at this age, many things are said to be understood, but in fact, most of them only understand the skin, but it is easier to make mistakes, it is better not to understand at all.
"Mother, don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong?" I took the handkerchief from Gong'e behind her and wiped a large handful of snot bubbles from her.
"Since the emperor crowned me as a concubine, he has never been to my palace once, which is really inexplicable! I came to him, and he didn't see anything, I really don't remember what I did wrong! β
My first reaction was - scumbag?
Under normal circumstances, if you don't say anything, you will ignore people, and there is no doubt about the scumbag.
How can I save this infatuated girl? It is really a curse to be full of sentient beings.
At this juncture, I had to come to Qingluan Palace with her, and it was inconvenient to talk outside.
The pepper wall in the palace is fragrant, the jade is warm and smoky, and there is no place that is not beautiful.
And even if this fairy-like palace is good in her eyes, I am afraid that it will become the Guanghan Palace at this moment. The two of us reclined on the smoked cage and chatted quietly about it.
I asked her: "Niangniang, when the emperor is in front of you, will there be times when he is coquettish and naΓ―ve?" β
She thought for a moment: "It doesn't seem to be, but I have always cared for me, and many things have spoiled me." He has always been relatively calm and peaceful, and rarely gets angry. It's just that lately, it's been cold......"
"And what about the Queen?"
At this time, Zhou Guifei showed a disdainful smile: "Respect." β
I covered my mouth and smiled: "Respectful and far away?" β
Hahahaha, there's finally a joke that relieves my worries.
I continued to ask, "Then Niangniang, what is the opportunity for you to be crowned a concubine?" β
She put the nail of her right index finger in her mouth and said, "This...... Only that night, the emperor stayed in my Qingluan Palace, and talked to me about the slack of the servants in the harem, and gave me the position of concubine to have the right to assist the harem, and I could assist the queen to share her worries. β
"And how do you share your worries?"
"Naturally, there is strict discipline, and violators are severely punished. There are more than a dozen people who have been punished for Yongxiang. β
I shook my head, "No...... If it is really so simple, it is appropriate to inform the queen that it is not enough, why bother. Think about it again, did you ignore the emperor's real thoughts? β
"This ...... Could it be that the emperor wants to borrow my hand to do something? β
"What does the emperor want?"
Zhou Guifei's eyes widened: "A while ago, the emperor really had something unpleasant, he was fortunate to have a tea palace lady, and he was summoned for three nights in a row, I think he liked it very much." However, before the palace was canonized, she was executed by the head of the queen's side on the charge of bewitching the lord. The emperor's face sank for several days because of this. β
I cupped my cheeks and winked at Zhou Guifei: "This is it." β
"Oh~ I see, he didn't say it directly, didn't he see me?" Zhou Guifei pouted and muttered slightly aggrieved.
She was relieved for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "That black-hearted liver poisonous woman, I have long been disgusted with her, and now there is a chance, she will be good-looking!" β
I don't want to say anything more about this matter, people who are unreservedly devoted to love hit the south wall and tear down the south wall, and eight horses can't pull it back. So he chatted with her casually on other topics, and he quit after stroking the cat Xue Nu in her palace.
Leaving Qingluan Palace, my heart hurts.
People whose skin is so close are so far away from their hearts. I can't understand this fact, let alone accept it.
I lowered my head and stepped on the bluestone slab on the ground one by one, straightening the lump in my heart.
When I was unprepared, I suddenly shouted head-on, which made me tremble.
"Where is the maid, when I saw the queen's mother, I didn't avoid it!"
I hurriedly retreated to the side of the road to salute, but fortunately I did not reflexively raise my head as before, otherwise it would have been more troublesome. also smiled, now if there is anything, just bow your head first.
The person who scolded me walked up, glanced at me and laughed: "This is the recent Dasu Palace, if there is such a short-sighted person, it should be sent to the Yongxiang Violent Room." You're good! Directly wearing the lowest uniform, I think there is no room for derogation. β
I only had their clothes and shoes in front of me, and I saw a pair of bright yellow gold thread embroidered phoenix toe shoes stopped in front of me, and I knew that it was indeed the queen, so I hurriedly apologized and said: "The palace lady is merciful, the maid has just arrived, and when she looks at the bluestone slab on the ground that is clean like a tabletop, she can see the gods, and she is thinking that it should be the queen of the middle palace who is under the rule of the queen, so that even the subtleties are so decent." But I didn't think about it, I accidentally startled your phoenix, and asked my mother to forgive me. β
"Yo, it's a girl with finch oil on her mouth."
This sentence is extremely strong, and it seems that the weight of the queen mother is definitely above the apple.
"Let's go, Wang Neisi, it's also a small mistake to raise your hand and not hit the smiling person, and I can't get along with this girl anymore, I'm afraid that someone will criticize the palace and criticize the subordinates."
Before the joy of being spared could climb up to the corner of his mouth, he heard the Wang Neisi next to him sharpen his voice: "Ouch, my mother, look, this maid has the jade pendant door number of Qingluan Palace on her waist!" β
She didn't give up: "This one who got the jade medal from the concubine Niangniang, it seems that I have only heard of one person, isn't that the little adult of the Shanggong Bureau?" What's wrong with you again? β
My heart is already on fire, this person is really bitter. But I had to suppress my emotions and said: "Back to Lord Neisi, the maid was indeed a seven-grade dictionary before, but the maid had no ambition and did things roughly, so he was demoted to the violent room to serve Xiao Niangniang." β
The queen sneered: "This person who can move freely in the violent room, you are the first person since the founding of the dynasty." I look at the direction you came from, it seems that you have just left Qingluan Palace, and there is a palace gate jade plate on your body, I think it's right. β
The queen mother is not impatient when she speaks, and she can sit firmly in the middle palace, but she must not be an incompetent person.
I expected to face a storm, but the queen said nothing more and drove away.
I was left where I was, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
I thought I had escaped, so I happily went to the dining room courtyard to pick up some delicious food, and chatted with Know-It-all Xiaozhi for a while, and then staggered back with a big basket of things.
But when he returned to the gate of the riot compound, he found that Aunt Su Xiao was already waiting there.
I smiled, "Auntie, why are you here?" β
But I didn't expect my aunt's expression to be quite serious: "Are you looking for me?" Why, forgot about it so quickly. β
I put the basket on the stone table next to it, wanting to bring a folk snack I had just collected to my aunt. But before I could do anything, she walked towards me in a cold air.
She put her hand behind her back in front of her, holding a slender wattle in her hand.
My head boomed, it's over, is it destined to be punished today?
"Get on your knees." Aunt Su's voice was not loud, but her tone was not disobedient.
I didn't know that I also had such a day, I was actually held by an elder who had several faces, and the feeling between people was really subtle and unpredictable, and I couldn't say it clearly.
Admittedly, I knelt down without resistance.
She walked behind me, and I heard the wattle cut through the breeze, and then turned into a thunderbolt through the jacket. I felt a fire burning in the skin on my back, about to burn through my clothes and melt the embers in this vast season.
Time had been divided, and I had never experienced it in such detail for a second, and the repeated beatings on my back and the superimposed pain must have made my body twist into an ugly appearance.
I gritted my teeth to bless my will, desperately enduring the pain and swallowing any whimper. I have been holding back, and I began to have a dull pain in my head. At first, his hands trembled slightly, but now he has enlarged to his shoulders.
As I tightened my body to resist the next beating, I knew I was going to kneel, but the thorns stopped abruptly.
As soon as I relaxed, I sat down on the ground and clasped my knees with my hands, like a little beast licking my own wounds.
My aunt threw the thorns away, still shuddering and asked me, "Do you know why I hit you?" β
My three souls and seven spirits have not yet been restored, and I am only weak: "No, I don't know. β
"Two things. First, you fled from the front. Not only did the two maids in the dining room who let you out lose their lives, but also made your grandfather write to Zuo Xiang to make amends. I won't hide it from you today, you also know that your grandfather was Zuo Xiang's staff, so when it comes to leaving the mountain camp, Zuo Xiang has promised your grandfather that he will protect you thoroughly. So early in the morning, the dead soldiers were planted in the guards of the camp away from the mountain, and if the tiger really pounced on you, the swords and crossbows hidden in the sleeves of the dead soldiers would instantly fire in unison to save your life. β
"Second, today you came to the Liangyi Palace to look for me, but you didn't pass it on, but you behaved intimately with the concubines who wanted to make trouble in front of the palace, and walked all the way to Qingluan Palace to talk. Do you know if the emperor knows, will he suspect that you are behind your back to instigate the concubine to behave so perversely? If the other concubines knew, would they suspect that you had waded into the troubled waters of the harem? The palace is full of eyes, and if you continue to act so freely, no one will be able to protect you. β
I silently listened to the repeated reprimands, and did not say a word.
But Aunt Su softened down again, half-bent down, and stroked the top of my head with her palm. Her hot hand suddenly made me cry like rain, turning into beads and splashing flowers on the ground.
"I'll bring you a few sets of clothes and two quilts, and I'll ask the guards to bring them in for you. It's really three years old and eighty, and your aunt hugged you when you don't remember, and you were stubborn at that time. β
I was too embarrassed to look at her, and I was too embarrassed to speak.
"By the way, what are you looking for your aunt just now?"
I opened my mouth and swallowed the words back.
Instead, she smiled lightly: "Then wait until you think about it, and then talk to your aunt." Okay, my aunt is gone. β
She didn't blame me for not replying rudely, and stood up and walked straight away.
I still hugged my knees and sat on the floor for a long, long time.
I feel that the small duffles of the other world are blurred, but the small dodders of this side of the world are clear.
