The palace people who stood outside the door with their hands lowered their hands and held the bell over with a rosewood tray, and the Empress Dowager Xu said angrily, "Come and go to recite the female commandment, carry the bell to Hai, and then kneel in the Buddha hall!" ”

Xiao Biluo knelt down with a pale face and saluted, "Yes." ”

Concubine Xu, who had been standing next to her, glanced at Xiao Biluo, and Shi Shiran saluted and pleaded, "Queen Mother, it is pouring rain outside at this time, and Xiao Guiren is still in the middle of the miscarriage month, I am afraid that I can't bear this punishment......"

After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Biluo again, his eyes were sincere and compassionate.

Empress Dowager Xu sneered, "In the miscarriage, she is so bewitching and bewitching, and I don't know what to do in the future, if I don't punish her today, it seems that the palace has no way to govern the family, so that she will mess up the rules of the harem!" Qi'er, don't plead for her, there are no rules, you learn today, otherwise how to govern the harem in the future! ”

Governance harem?

Xiao Biluo, who said this, was shocked, looked up at Concubine Xu, and lowered her eyelashes again.

She didn't want to sit in the back seat, but Yuan Ke wanted her to sit on it.

She sat in this back seat, only Yuan Ke was happy, and no one in the world was happy.

Concubine Xu, big and small, must be very resentful.

The palace man presented the golden bell in front of Xiao Biluo and made a gesture of invitation, "Noble, please." ”

Xiao Biluo picked up the golden bell, "Empress Dowager Xie gave me some admonition." ”

As he spoke, he slowly got up and walked out of the Taikang Palace.

Behind her, Empress Dowager Xu's angry voice came, "I don't want to see her in the future!" ”

Concubine Xu persuaded, "The Queen Mother is in a bad mood today, please ask Rong Erchen to light a rhino incense, and then play a tune for the Queen Mother to evacuate." ”

Empress Dowager Xu softened her tone, "You are still the most caring, much stronger than the Holy One." I haven't heard you play the pipa for many days, just play a sunset flute and drum. ”

Concubine Xu gently slapped her shoulders for Empress Dowager Xu and said, "There is no need for the Empress Dowager to be angry with an outsider. ”

……

What is a bell? This is the rule of corporal punishment of palace maids handed down by the Great Zhou, the palace maid who made a mistake took the bell, Xu Xing was walking, rain or shine, from Changning Gate to Yuehua Gate, shouting all the way that the world was peaceful, the sound was slow and long, corresponding to the bell.

The torture rod hurts people's bodies, and it is only in the palace, and a few people know that it will be okay to recuperate for a few days. The bell is the most shameful punishment, to accept the fingers and fingers of the people who come and go to the palace, and within half a day, the palaces will know everything.

Today, he was punished by the Empress Dowager Xu for raising the bell, and he will ...... in the future In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to sit in the middle palace.

Fortunately, it rained heavily today, and there were few people in the palace.

was standing under the corridor to recall the female commandment, the palace people waited impatiently, half-pushed and half-shoved her into the pouring rain, "Don't delay the time, let the queen mother see that it is another anger, and it will affect us in vain!" Please start raising the bell! ”

Xiao Biluo covered her eyes with her sleeves and asked lightly, "Didn't you start from Changning Gate?" ”

The palace people were even more impatient, "The Queen Mother didn't say that it started from Changning Gate!" ”

The two of them followed behind with umbrellas, and the heavy rain suddenly poured Xiao Biluo through, and the cold air invaded her limbs, making her shudder involuntarily, but the umbrella eaves of the two palace people were raining endlessly, ticking into a line, all flowing on her shoulders and back, and when the rain was heavy, she couldn't even open her eyes.

The two palace people still scolded themselves, "It's really unlucky to receive such a hard job......

"That's it! It's a cold to go back......"

"After a while, let's go to the court division to have a glass of wine and warm ......."

"Okay......"

Xiao Biluo walked dignifiedly, ignoring the guidance of the hurried palace people around her, and ignoring the whispers of the two palace people behind her, she tried not to hurry or slow, and the bell rang not slowly, just like a distant ballad.

Her face was pale, but her cheeks were sickly flushed, and she looked exhausted, but she still memorized the words of the female commandment.

When she was in the Zhao Palace, Lingbi was often punished by Concubine Rong for copying female commandments, and she often helped Lingbi ghostwrite.

At that time, everything had not changed, the days were not turbulent, and Lingbi always loved to sleep with her in her arms.

The cool and humid wind in the afternoon and the chirping of cicadas and birds were distantly like a dream, which made her a little trance.

Recalling the distraction in the past, it seems that the raindrops that fell on my body have lost consciousness.

It would be great if time could stay in the sixteenth year of Taiqing.

The sky gradually darkened, drenched in cold rain for an hour, Xiao Biluo was already unconscious, just walked forward mechanically, and the two palace people held up the glass wind lamp, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark.

Her steps were staggering, her lips were cold and blue, her lower abdomen was in pain, and she was sure she couldn't hold on until two hours left.

The two palace people also shivered coldly, and the topic of conversation changed from the trivial matters of the palace people to the big and small concubines, one said, "The saint likes Xiao Concubine Xu the most, and the little concubine Xu made a concentric knot with her own hands, and the saint doesn't like to wear jewelry, but the concentric knot is carried in the purse every day." ”

Another chimed in, "Concubine Xu is lively and clever, and the Queen Mother likes it too, this time Jin Ren almost became her, it's a pity......"

"Who's to say it isn't? Everyone thinks it's a pity......"

"Concubine Xu has the character of a mother, but it's a pity that God is too blind......"

……

Xiao Biluo's eyes darkened, and she said weakly, "Two grandmothers, I am really in pain, please allow me to rest for a while." ”

The two palace people said impatiently, "The Queen Mother didn't say that she could take a break!" Don't embarrass us, hurry up, hurry up and ......"

As he spoke, he pushed her forward, and this push directly pushed her to the ground, her face was all in the muddy water, she was choked and coughed violently, and the palace people had dragged her up, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

"You are so bold!"

A cold voice came from behind him, and the two palace people looked back at Yuan Ke coming in from the Yuehua Gate.

The two of them knelt down, "I've seen Your Majesty!" Slaves and maidservants are commanded! ”

The two of them are the old men of Taikang Palace, and their words are neither humble nor arrogant, but their tones tremble.

Xiao Biluo fell in the muddy water, and was struggling to get up, Yuan Ke hurriedly reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Biluo, Biluo!" ”

Seeing that her face was pale and covered in mud, Yuan Ke held her in his arms, lowered his head and said angrily, "I have never heard of the palace people in the Great Yan Dynasty treating the queen harshly, and I have never seen the palace people pull and push down the concubines!" Come! A hundred rods, full of court divisions! ”

The two palace people defended loudly, "I didn't treat my mother harshly......"

"The mother accidentally slipped and fell, and we pulled her up......"

"Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"We are from Taikang Palace, even if we are responsible for the staff, we must ask the Queen Mother first...... Please calm your anger, don't be suspicious of the Queen Mother because of trivial matters......"

Yuan Ke sneered, "Mingjian? Taikang Palace people? Bagatelle? Diao slave deceives the master, the sin is unforgivable! I blame the two of you on behalf of the Central Palace Staff today, when do you need to return to the Queen Mother! ”

After speaking, he took off his coat and put it on Xiao Biluo's body, and raised his hand to pick her up, "You two kneel here for an hour first, and then go to the court to receive the punishment!" ”

Xiao Biluo said weakly, "The two of them acted on orders, so why bother them, and make the Queen Mother unhappy." ”
