The one hundred and sixty-third round
The Queen Mother sat on the couch and drank tea slowly, looking not very angry, but it made Nan Xuerong, who was kneeling on the ground, feel tight, and cold sweat was already oozing from her forehead, and she didn't dare to breathe. And what made her even more angry was that Nan Xueyu, the dead girl, was actually there, standing calmly beside the Queen Mother, kneading her shoulders for the Queen Mother, not squinting, as if she didn't know her.
Damn Nan Xueyu, what kind of stinky shelf! Isn't it just to seal Princess Yanning, there is no one in her eyes, seeing that she has knelt down for a cup of tea, and she doesn't know how to let the Queen Mother tell her to get up, it's too hateful!
"Concubine De," fortunately, the Queen Mother saw that she was about to kneel, and probably felt that she was shocked enough, so she finally spoke, "Do you know why the mourning family called you?" As she spoke, she waved her hand and signaled that Nan Xueyu could rest.
Nan Xuerong hurriedly beat her spirits, knelt up straight, "Concubine...... Know your mistakes. Knowing this old woman's temper, she naturally didn't dare to be as reckless as she was in front of Murong Jun, so she quickly admitted her mistake and left first.
"It's good to know what is wrong," the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, without waiting for Nan Xuerong to be happy, and continued, "Tell me, what is wrong with you?"
"......" Nan Xuerong gritted her teeth angrily: Where am I wrong? I am not wrong at all, it is clear that you are wrong, the mistake is outrageous, you should not have gone to the Nan family to choose a concubine, you should not have elected me to the palace, ruined the good things between me and Brother Yao, what is wrong with me!
"Say," the Queen Mother's eyes were cold, "Where are you wrong, do you know, how to correct your mistakes, let's listen!"
As soon as the Queen Mother changed her face, Nan Xuerong shuddered, and if she didn't accept it, she had to be soft, "Concubine...... You shouldn't be rude to the emperor, the queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine will never dare to do it again in the future, please forgive the queen mother!" At a glance of Nan Xueyu's gloating eyes, she was so unwilling that she was about to vomit blood! Once upon a time, she was the only one who bullied Nan Xueyu, when did she speak so low in front of the people she looked down on!
The Queen Mother put down the teacup heavily, and said coldly, "Concubine De, the mourning family has warned you more than once, you have to know your current identity, you don't take the mourning family in your eyes at all, don't you?"
"The concubine doesn't dare to ......" Nan Xuerong finally broke down in a cold sweat, in fact, she was wrong, how could she justify it.
The Queen Mother sneered, "Don't you dare? You don't obey the order, do something to Jun'er, and refuse to go to bed, which of these things do you dare not do? Or do you think that being a concubine for Jun'er is too wronged for you? If this is the case, the mourning family will not embarrass you, from tomorrow, you will go to the Changjing Palace to live, where it will be quiet, and Jun'er will not disturb you, what do you think?"
The corners of Nan Xueyu's mouth twitched, and she sneered silently: The queen mother is really good at controlling people, look at what the second sister will do this time!
When Nan Xuerong heard this, of course she was taken aback, and her face was bloodless in an instant: she thought that the Queen Mother knew her thoughts, so she would remove her title and send her home. If that's the case, although it's embarrassing, at least she has regained her free body, and she can marry whoever she wants in the future!
But the fact is that the Queen Mother wants to send her to the Changjing Palace! Who doesn't know the women in this harem, that place is the most remote corner of the palace, there is almost nothing in it, and those who are sent there are all concubines who have fallen out of favor or committed crimes, and that is actually the cold palace! If she gets there, she will have to die of old age in the palace in this life, and there will be no more future!
"The queen mother is angry, the concubine really knows that she is wrong!" Although it is embarrassing to admit her mistake like this, but the lesser of two evils, Nan Xuerong has to lower her figure and beg bitterly, "Concubine...... The concubine is just in a bad mood tonight, so ......"
"If you're in a bad mood, you dare to make a move with Jun'er, Concubine De, your temper is even greater than that of Ling Zun," the Queen Mother's words were not without insinuations, but she didn't shy away from Nan Xueyu's presence, "If everyone is like you, where will Jun'er, the majesty of the king of the country, go?"
An idiot, what majesty can there be! Nan Xuerong was unconvinced, but she didn't dare to be reckless at this time, and admitted her mistake vigorously, "Yes, the concubine knows her mistake! The concubine asks the queen mother to punish her, and she will definitely change it in the future! It's just, just begging the queen mother not to send the concubine to Changjing Palace, the concubine is ......" After saying that, she actually cried out, and the pear blossoms brought rain, but it was also quite pitiful.
Nan Xueyu suddenly smiled and said softly, "Second sister, I knew today, why bother in the first place! The queen mother has been quite tolerant of you, but you have repeatedly disrespected the imperial brother and angered the queen mother, isn't this to blame?"
You,, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, try it for you to serve an idiot man!Nan Xuerong glared at her fiercely, and almost couldn't help but pounce and choke her neck! "Xue Yu, you ......"
"But the queen mother is tolerant and generous, as long as you know your mistakes and sincerely change your ways, the queen mother will still give you another chance, isn't it, the queen mother?" Nan Xueyu's eyes flashed with a cunning light, but the words she said were enough to make Nan Xuerong angry half to death, but she looked like a peacemaker, and she was angry to death.
Nan Xuerong gritted her teeth with hatred, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only endure her anger and said, "The concubine knows her mistakes, I implore the Queen Mother to forgive the concubine this time, the concubine must ......be changed."
"It's good that you know what you're wrong," the queen softened slightly, "Concubine De, you have to remember that Jun'er is the king of a country and the heaven of the Great Yan Kingdom, and no one can disobey him, especially those of you who are concubines, understand?"
"Yes, the concubine understands ......"
"Once you enter the palace as a concubine, your identity has not changed, so only if Jun'er is good, you can be good," the queen mother didn't give her a chance to defend at all, and continued to teach, "If Jun'er has anything, your future will be the same as the concubines of the previous emperor, do you understand?"
Nan Xuerong's face changed drastically, she shuddered suddenly, and her lips turned pale. How did she not know the rules of the Great Yan Kingdom, after the first emperor left, all his concubines, except for the queen mother, the rest of the people should have been martyred, but later, the first emperor felt that this rule was too cruel, so he changed the ancestral system, if it is for the monarch, if there are children among the concubines, they can be with their children, and the children will support them for the elderly, and they will not remarry for life, if they have no children, they must stay in their palace until the end of their lives.
In fact, the Queen Mother was reminding her that if she didn't want to live too miserable in the future, she still had to accept her fate, serve Murong Jun well, and give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, and she could still rely on it, which was a hundred times stronger than in the old death palace, right?
"The concubine understands......" she trembled, almost speechless. In fact, for her, because she has another love in her heart, these two results are quite cruel.
The Queen Mother said coldly, "I hope you really understand." Today's matter, the mourning family will no longer care about you for the sake of Xue Yu's face, but you remember, if there is a next time, the mourning family will not spare it!"
"Yes, the concubine body remembers the teachings of the Queen Mother!" One sentence made Nan Xuerong's anger even stronger: It was obviously Nan Xueyu who added oil and vinegar from the side, why did the Queen Mother spare herself in the end, or look at the face of this stinky girl, how big her face is!
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Okay, you go back first, reflect on what you have done, if you serve Jun'er well in the future, the mourning family will not treat you badly, you go." ”
Nan Xuerong finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, the concubine will retire." After that, he quickly got up, but because he knelt for too long, his knees were numb with pain, and he stumbled and almost fell down.
"Second sister be careful!" Nan Xueyu's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly helped her, with a look of concern, "Second sister, your legs are numb, right? Why don't I send you back?"
Who wants you to pretend to be kind!Nan Xuerong glared at her hatefully, but she couldn't attack in front of the Queen Mother, and pushed her away stiffly, "Don't bother the third sister, just have Cairui to help me go back." ”
Cai Rui on the side ...
Hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and slowly turned around and went out.
Nan Xueyu raised her eyebrows, but she didn't care, and retreated, "Thank you Queen Mother for sparing the second sister this time, she also didn't know the severity, and she should have been punished." Of course, Nan Xuerong is like this, it's all in her expectation, and the show is still to come.
The Queen Mother looked at her beautiful face, and her expression suddenly became solemn, "Xue Yu, you tell the truth to the mourning family, the mourning family treats Concubine De like this, don't you have any mustard in your heart?" It stands to reason that Nan Xuerong and Nan Xueyu are sisters, even if there is any suspicion, it seems that they should not be indifferent when Nan Xuerong is punished, which is unreasonable.
Nan Xueyu bit her lip, knowing that her attitude had aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother, but she still didn't plan to say anything about the eldest sister, and there was enough reason for the Queen Mother to believe in herself, so she didn't panic and knelt on the ground, "The queen mother will have some suspicions, Erchen understands, Erchen wants to ask the queen mother to understand, the reason why Erchen doesn't want the second sister to make a mistake is also for the sake of the royal family and the Nan family." ”
The Queen Mother was thoughtful, "Oh? ”
"The queen mother also knows that there is a ...... between the second sister and the wing king "Nan Xueyu smiled indifferently, "Erchen thinks that if the second sister can stay in the palace with peace of mind and serve the emperor well, then she and the Wing King will be completely broken, what does the queen mother think?"
The Queen Mother nodded slowly, quite displeased with this matter, and dispelled her previous concerns, "You're right, Yao'er also swore to the Mourning family, if he breaks his oath and sees Concubine De in private, the Mourning family will never condone it!"
"The queen mother is wise," Nan Xueyu smiled, "King Yi is a smart person, and if Erchen wants to be in this matter, he will not be confused." If she really despises the emperor and makes a big mistake, it is also because her father is not strict in teaching, and it is not what the sons and daughters want to see, so ......"
"The mourning family understands," the Queen Mother waved her hand, "Xue Yu, you think about things everywhere, but it's hard for you." The mourning family is not suspicious of you, but Concubine De is your biological sister in the end, if she never repents, the mourning family is worried that you will be embarrassed by the time. ”
"No," Nan Xueyu knew that the Queen Mother was worried about her feelings, and her heart was moved, "The Queen Mother is fair and resolute, and the sons understand that if the second sister really makes a big mistake one day, she will also take the blame for herself, and the Queen Mother will be punished as she punishes, and the sons will never dare to complain." ”
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, and finally relieved, "You, you are a talker, and the mourning family really likes you more and more!"
Nan Xueyu smiled, "Thank you for your grace!"
