243 Afterstroke
"Afterstroke?" Concubine Xie was originally reclining on the chair behind her, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but sit up straight.
Pearl nodded, "Niangniang thinks, since the Ye family is deliberately trying to spread the news that she is trapped in the palace through the old lady's birthday banquet, it means that she is not stupid, but she just wants to make His Majesty cast a rat trap by making money through the mouths of the people." Even so, she should also know that most of the people who went to the banquet today were old acquaintances of the Hou Mansion of Zhenguo, and on the side of the Hou Mansion, Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou must have been well, and they may not be able to spread the great words. But she still did it, if she said that she had no tricks, the slave didn't believe it. ”
Concubine Xie listened thoughtfully, although the wrinkles between her eyebrows were not smoothed out, her fingers were gently rubbing from beginning to end.
"Then where is the Ye family as mysterious as you say? She is just a woman from a small family and can't be on the stage, do you think of her too deeply? Seeing this, Jade's eyes darkened, and she snorted. Then, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he knelt down in front of Concubine Xie, "Niangniang, the slave knows that she has always been not as happy as the pearl, and next, what the slave and maid want to say, I am afraid that the mother will not be happy when she hears it, but the slave has to say." After foreshadowing, Jade did not pause for a moment, but continued, "Niangniang forgot, who advised Niangniang to let the princess get close to the Ye clan in the first place?" Who guarantees that he will be optimistic about the Ye family and will never make any mistakes? But now? Niangniang, Pearl's words, you can't believe it anymore, you can't say it, she may have received the benefits of the Ye family at all. ”
"Jade, you don't want to spew blood!" Pearl trembled with anger, and knelt down with a "plop", and knocked down with a loud bang, "Niangniang, the slave has been serving you for so many years, and whether you are loyal to Niangniang or not, Niangniang knows it very well." The slave maid has no second heart for the mother from beginning to end, and asks the mother not to listen to the words of the jade. From beginning to end, the slave maid is for the sake of the mother. It's just that the Ye family is really treacherous and pretends to be too similar, which makes the slave and maid look away. In the earlier incident, the slave and maid were at fault, and the slave and maid confessed. But if you want to say that the slave and maid colluded with the Ye family, the slave and maid were really wronged, and asked the mother to be clear. If the mother also thinks that the slave and maid are the kind of betrayed person who harbors evil intentions, she will immediately beat the slave and maid to death, and the slave and maid will not complain. ”
When Pearl raised her eyes again, her eyes were already red, and she was aggrieved, but she looked at Concubine Xie stubbornly.
Concubine Xie looked at the pearl with a pair of phoenix eyes, smiled softly, sighed, and stretched out her hand towards her, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, what kind of person are you, if you are loyal to this palace or not, how can this palace not know?" This palace has never doubted you for half a point. Come! Concubine Xie pulled the pearl up from the ground and patted her side.
Pearl had red eyes, but she still sat down on her foot.
Concubine Xie looked at her with a smile, every word was extremely soft, "However, pearl, you also know that this palace has clear rewards and punishments, and you have indeed neglected to oversee this Ye family's matter, you won't deny this, right?" ”
Pearl lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse, with a hint of nasality, "The slave doesn't dare to deny it." ”
"Yes, this palace will punish you for five days, and then punish you for half a month! Can you take it? ”
"The slave is convinced, thank you for your kindness." As he spoke, he knelt down again and bowed deeply. "So the slave and maid went down and received their punishment."
Hearing Xie Guifei nodding "um", she slowly got up, buried her head from beginning to end, and retreated respectfully.
On the side, Jade, who was originally dissatisfied because Concubine Xie only called Pearl to get up, and let her kneel by herself, was happy, raised a pair of shining eyes and said, "Niangniang, over there of the Ye family, the slave is willing to share the worries of Niangniang and teach her a lesson." ”
Concubine Xie shook her head.
The joy on Jade's face flickered, "Niangniang? "Didn't Niangniang punish the pearl, and never mentioned the Ye family again, didn't she just agree with her meaning? And Pearl never mentioned a word again, so she naturally understood what Niangniang meant. She is the most slippery, she guessed the mother's mind, where would she be disobedient? Otherwise, where would she be so?
Concubine Xie frowned and looked at her, "Jade, the time between you and the palace is not shorter than the pearl, but I am afraid that every day I am unwilling to be unwilling to let the palace value her more than you, but I have never thought about why." Jade, don't blame this palace for being eccentric, you are indeed inferior to her in many places. ”
Jade was naturally not convinced, and opened her mouth to say something.
Xie Guifei snorted, "Why do you think she only listens to the punishment and doesn't mention what she just said?" ”
Jade really doesn't understand.
Concubine Xie scolded the stupid person in her heart, but she didn't bother to say anything more about her, and said, "In short, what Pearl said is not unreasonable." Now, it's not the time to move the Ye clan. If one is not careful, and he really falls into her trap, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"Niangniang......." Jade is in a hurry, has she really listened to pearl's nonsense?
Concubine Xie raised her hand, Jade had been by her side for so many years, so she naturally understood what she meant. That's what she's decided, and there's no need to say more.
Even if Jade was unwilling, she had to shut up.
"Afraid of what? This Ye clan is in Jingren Palace, can he still run away? Let's let her bounce for a few more days! After that, this palace has a chance to clean her up. ”
As soon as Concubine Xie finished speaking, an attendant rushed to report that someone from the Qianqing Palace had come, saying that His Majesty had invited Concubine Xie to come over.
Jade's face changed in shock.
Concubine Xie Guifei was worthy of being a person who had gone through the wind and rain, so she made up her makeup without changing her face, and went to the Qianqing Palace.
How to talk to Emperor Qianhe, others don't know. But in the end, he was not reprimanded by Qianhe Emperor Ming, and returned from the Qianqing Palace with a different face.
At this time, the night is already dark. A gray shadow fluttered its wings, flew out of the side courtyard of the apse of Jingren Palace, and took advantage of the night to go in the direction of the south of the city.
At the foothold, the sound of lights and oars is unparalleled.
Ye Xinyi had no dreams all night and slept very well.
Liu Lu was worried about something, she was suffering in a half-dream and half-awake last night, and when she saw her wife's face full of brilliance, she once again realized the strength of her wife's heart.
If Mrs. is a master who doesn't know anything and doesn't care about anything, then she can be so calm, naturally she is not worthy of attention.
But Liu Lu couldn't be clearer, her wife looked quiet and inactive on the surface, but behind the scenes, she was turning over the clouds and rain, and she just wanted to fight for their family in the rear to win two more points.
obviously planned such a big game, it just kicked off yesterday, and the show was about to start, but she can still sleep so peacefully, which can only show that Mrs. is really a person with a heart, or she is very confident in herself and confident!
If Ye Xinyi heard what Liu Lu was thinking, he was afraid that he would laugh, would he be confident? She really didn't.
