Chapter 292: Punishment (2)
Not long after Li De entered, soon, another eunuch came out: "Your Majesty Xuan Crown Princess has entered." ”
Shen Jinqiao walked in, the dormitory was full of medicinal smells, Emperor Xia was half-sitting on the bed, his face was not very good-looking, Li De stood beside Emperor Xia, very majestic as a chief eunuch, his eyes were full of sarcasm and hatred, obviously he wanted to wait to see how Shen Jinqiao was punished.
Li De, as the closest celebrity to Emperor Xia, which one doesn't hold three points? Shen Jinqiao dared to touch his people, how could he be good?
"Jin Qiao greets Your Majesty."
Emperor Xia didn't call Shen Jinqiao to get up, but took the fold and looked at it.
You can't punish Shen Jinqiao for kneeling outside, just punish her for kneeling in front of her, as a superior person, there is always a way to torture people, right?
Shen Jinqiao was also calm, kneeling and kneeling, kneeling motionless, waiting for Xia to speak.
In just two quarters of an hour, Emperor Xia coughed twice and vomited a lot of blood, and finally didn't want to stay up with Shen Jinqiao, so he asked majestically: "Do you know what you are doing wrong?" ”
Shen Jinqiao: "Jin Qiao doesn't know what he did wrong, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Xia Di was angry: "You don't know? The dignified princess, gouging out people's eyes, acting so viciously, but you say you don't know? ”
The medicine bowl smashed in front of Shen Jinqiao, a blanket was spread on the ground, and the medicine bowl was not broken, but the remaining medicine juice splashed on Shen Jinqiao's skirt.
Shen Jinqiao is neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty Rong Bing, the prince traveled yesterday evening, he was afraid that Jin Qiao would be reluctant to separate, so he let people boil a bowl of soup and medicine, I drank it and slept until the morning before waking up, I heard the noise outside the door, and the people outside rushed in just after getting up and dressing." ”
"Your Majesty, it's not the first day you met Jin Qiao, although I have a bad temper, I'm not a vicious person, but now I'm the crown princess, I'm married to a wife, my reputation is not related to myself, but also the face of the prince and the face of the royal family."
"The palace of the dignified princess, how can these minions be allowed to break into it at will? But they broke in, and they didn't take me seriously, but I can't let the prince be ashamed, I'm the crown princess of His Majesty's own title, how can I allow a group of minions to be bullied? ”
Emperor Xia looked at Shen Jinqiao, what she said was reasonable, but it was a quibble in Emperor Xia's ears.
Like her father Shen Ye, she can be justified if she is unreasonable, and she is even more unreasonable.
But just as Shen Jinqiao thought, even if Emperor Xia was angry with her, he would not do anything to her now, just a few minions, and if he died, he would die, but Shen Jinqiao was the crown princess and Shen Ye's daughter, so he couldn't kill her.
You can't kill, but you can still be punished.
Emperor Xia put down the fold in his hand: "You are right, you should indeed be punished." ”
Li De turned his eyes and looked at Emperor Xia, serving Emperor Xia for many years, although the emperor was unpredictable, but many times Li De could still guess Emperor Xia's thoughts.
Emperor Xia doesn't like the crown princess, how can he expose it so easily?
"As the crown princess, you really can't be bullied casually, the crown princess represents the majesty and face of the East Palace, and is a role model for the royal wife, so she naturally has to be impeccable."
Speaking of this, Emperor Xia's words changed: "The prince used to serve me here, and when I had a headache, he asked him to read Buddhist scriptures to me, and now he goes out on an errand, and I feel almost something when I feel uncomfortable, and I can't sleep peacefully, and now you are here just right, recite Buddhist scriptures to me." ”
Li De was very discerning, and immediately asked people to bring Shen Jinqiao a table, and there were more than a dozen Buddhist scriptures on the table. Reading the Book House
It's okay to recite Buddhist scriptures, but now Shen Jinqiao is still kneeling, and there is not even a futon on the ground, this is a punishment, but it is just a different way of saying.
Shen Jinqiao moved her eyes, picked up the Buddhist scriptures, and began to read them in a soft voice, she had never heard the prince recite the Buddhist scriptures, but she had heard the monks recite them, but she couldn't recite the feeling.
Only use the clearest and cleanest voice, read word by word clearly, not fast or slow, just like her, pampered and not shocked.
Emperor Xia just wanted to punish Shen Jinqiao, but listening to it, he really felt that his heart was calm, his cloudy eyes fell on Shen Jinqiao's face, she was dressed in beautiful temples, although she didn't apply powder, but she was still incredibly beautiful, her eyes fell lightly on the Buddhist scriptures, serious and pious, her lips opened and closed, her words were clear, and there was a trace of Buddha nature in her calm and quiet, and Emperor Xia looked at it and lost her mind.
Looking at her like this, I really can't associate her with something as cruel as ordering people to gouge out their eyeballs.
Think about the women in his harem, who are as old as the queen and others, and the young ones are only as old as Shen Jinqiao, but there are really few people who can be as beautiful as Shen Jinqiao, and they are a little similar to the young concubine Leng Guifei.
Emperor Xia had a hint of intention in his heart, but for a moment, this was his son's wife, and his body could not allow him to have extra evil thoughts.
I closed my eyes and listened to Shen Jinqiao chanting Buddhist scriptures, and fell asleep after listening.
Shen Jinqiao finished reading the two books, slowly put down the books, and looked up to see that Emperor Xia was already asleep with smooth breathing.
"Knock knock." Li De knocked on the table in front of her and glared at her: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty hasn't stopped yet, you have to continue." ”
Emperor Xia was asleep, but when Li De knocked him like this, he woke up.
knew that Li De was embarrassing Shen Jinqiao, but he didn't say that it was true to punish Shen Jinqiao, but he was really upset.
Emperor Xia woke up but didn't speak, which was obviously a tacit approval, and Shen Jinqiao could only pick up the Buddhist scriptures again and continue to read.
King Xiang supervised the country, many things have to ask Emperor Xia's opinion, when he came, Emperor Xia fell asleep, he could only wait in the outer hall, quieted down, it was easy to hear the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures inside, not big, but clear, with a tranquility that seemed to be able to soothe people's hearts.
Listening to the voice for a while, I really couldn't tell who it was, and King Xiang thought it was Emperor Xia's concubine at first, sitting outside and waiting, and listening to the Buddhist scriptures.
He was summoned in when Emperor Xia had rested enough, and it was only at this time that he saw that it was Shen Jinqiao who was reciting Buddhist scriptures, and he was still kneeling on the ground to recite it, you must know that he had just been here for two quarters of an hour, and he didn't know how long he had been reciting it before.
Emperor Xia glanced at Shen Jinqiao and raised his hand: "That's it for today, step down." ”
That's it for today, which means it has to go on tomorrow.
"Jin Qiao retired." Shen Jinqiao's attitude did not change in the slightest, that is, his voice was a little hoarse, even if he knelt on the ground, he had been reading for so long, he didn't have a sip of tea, and his throat couldn't stand it.
I wanted to get up from the ground, but I couldn't stand at all, and it was two minions who were also kneeling softly who went over and helped her up.
King Xiang arched his hand: "I've seen the imperial sister-in-law." ”
Shen Jinqiao nodded slightly, but he didn't say a word, not cold, but his throat was so tired that he didn't want to say another word.
King Xiang can understand her, Shen Jinqiao's exhaustion is really visible to the naked eye.
Shen Jinqiao was helped to leave, and King Xiang reported to Emperor Xia, as for why Shen Jinqiao was here, he didn't dare to ask more.
