Chapter 7: Broken Bracelets

Concubine Shu looked at the box in Yang Xiaohan's hand, but did not step forward, but turned around and sat on her seat, adjusted her comfortable sitting posture as if she was tired, and said, "What is in Yang Liangyuan's hand, can you let the palace take a look?" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaohan had no choice but to step forward in person and present the things in his hand to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu took a look, but saw that it was an extremely rare old pit jade bracelet, emerald green and crystal clear. It's just that compared to Li Ronghua's Nanzhu necklace, it is obviously a little inferior.

Concubine Shu knew in her heart, and only said: "It's really a good thing, and it is a good match for Yang Liangyuan." ”

But this kind of praise always makes people who have a heart feel a little perfunctory and ridiculous.

Yang Xiaohan's face turned a little pale in an instant, but he forcibly retreated.

As soon as Yang Xiaohan turned around, he felt that something was tripped under his feet, his body lost his balance, and he fell to the ground before he could react.

She subconsciously grasped the brocade box in her hand, but a green shadow came out of the box.

"Click-"

"Ahh

There was a crisp cracking sound in his ears, and Yang Xiaohan, who fell to the ground, sank in his heart, ignoring the pain in his body, and looked ahead.

Sure enough, the jade bracelet had broken in half and was lying innocently on the ground, but Yang Xiaohan was shocked.

The people in the hall were stunned and didn't seem to react.

However, Feng Qingxu knew in her heart, her eyesight was excellent, and she could see the small movements of some people clearly. But she didn't plan to make a sound, just quietly watched a good scene in front of her.

Concubine Shu stood up, pointed at Yang Xiaohan on the ground and said angrily: "Yang Liangyuan, you actually dropped the jade bracelet that the queen mother gave you." ”

Yang Xiaohan picked up the jade bracelet on the ground in a panic, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, the son did not mean it, please forgive the queen mother!" ”

Concubine Shu sneered and said, "Of course you didn't fall on purpose, but you were so negligent about the things that the queen gave you, there wasn't even a stone in this hall, so good, why did you fall?" ”

The queen didn't say a word, but her face gradually became difficult to look at, and she was obviously angry.

Concubine Shu didn't wait for Yang Xiaohan to refute, and said, "Do you think that this jade bracelet is not as precious as Li Liangyuan's Nanzhu necklace?" Do you know that this is the dowry of the queen mother! ”

Yang Xiaohan was already sweating when he heard this, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Fang Ling could see clearly behind Yang Xiaohan just now, it was a maid beside Concubine Shu who stretched out her foot and tripped Yang Xiaohan, and Yang Xiaohan dropped the jade bracelet. But Yang Xiaohan blindly begged for mercy without any explanation, which made Fang Ling distressed and angry. The corners of Li Ronghua's snickering mouth were almost to the root of his ears, but the others in the hall were indifferent, as if they were all watching Yang Xiaohan's jokes.

Yang Xiaohan's head began to ooze blood again, Fang Ling saw Yang Xiaohan's humiliation to this point, and couldn't help kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Queen Mother, our master was framed, she ......"

"Shut up!" Yang Xiaohan suddenly turned around and slapped Fang Ling, and said angrily, "The queen mother and the crown princess are here, where is your turn to speak!" ”

Yang Xiaohan was so anxious that he only stared at Fang Ling, his eyes were full of warnings, and Fang Ling was suddenly so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Feng Qingxu felt a little pity for Yang Xiaohan, but Concubine Shu made it clear that she was targeting her, and Feng Qingxu didn't want to cause more trouble. And she could already see that Yang Xiaohan was a smart person, and from her series of reactions, it could be seen that she was by no means as weak as she seemed on the surface. Moreover, a concubine can marry the prince of the dynasty by herself, no matter how much Xiao Yuning's wishes are accounted for, Yang Xiaohan is by no means a weak woman without a city.

And Concubine Shu heard that Yang Xiaohan only mentioned the queen and Feng Qingxu here, but she ignored herself, feeling that she was implying that she didn't understand the rules, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

The air was getting hotter, the coolness of the morning had receded, the sun that was supposed to rise had not shown its face for a long time, and the gloomy weather made the already tense atmosphere even more dreary.

The queen said slowly at this moment: "Yang Liangyuan, your maidservant said that someone framed you, what do you say?" ”

Yang Xiaohan's heart sank little by little, he could only force himself to calm down, shook his head lightly and said: "No one has framed Erchen, it was Erchen himself who accidentally fell, everything is Erchen's fault, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth crossed the arc of mockery, and said: "In this way, this servant girl is making a lot of nonsense in front of the queen's mother, and the empty mouth and white teeth don't know who they want to bite, what's the use of keeping such a maidservant?" Come on, drag it down! ”

Yang Xiaohan was shocked, she naturally knew that Fang Ling's life would be gone if she dragged it on, Fang Ling and her were born together since childhood, no matter what, she had to save Fang Ling's life.

Yang Xiaohan hurriedly said: "The queen mother, everything is the fault of the sons, it is the sons and daughters who are not strict in discipline, the sons are willing to be punished, please let the queen spare Fangling's life!" ”

Feng Qingxu watched coldly, and didn't want to care, but at this time, he only felt that Concubine Shu was making a little too much, so he said lightly: "Come to the queen mother here to talk for a while, why is it crying and fatal, it's really annoying." ”

Seeing that the wind was light, the queen deliberately spoke for Yang Xiaohan, and took into account the prince's face, and also felt that it was a little too much, so she said to Yang Xiaohan: "The newcomers in this palace should learn the rules well, since the prince has punished you for copying the palace rules yesterday, today your master and servant will kneel outside the palace for three hours, small punishments and big commandments, and you can know that the palace rules are not decorations." ”

Concubine Shu was about to say something, but the queen glanced at her, and Concubine Shu immediately closed her mouth, shook her fan idly, and said no more.

Yang Xiaohan hurriedly thanked him, and immediately took Fang Ling to kneel under the steps outside the door, with a straight and respectful posture.

Li Ronghua's heart blossomed happily, and he pinched his thighs desperately to hide the smile on his lips. Although Yang Xiaohan has always been flattering to her, she always remembers that Yang Xiaohan is a good woman handpicked by the prince, and she always has no taste in her heart, her marriage was won by herself, why did she have to take a Yang Xiaohan when she entered the East Palace? Seeing her being scolded and punished, Li Ronghua couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart.

There are ice cubes in the hall, I don't feel too hot, as soon as I arrive outside the hall, the scorching heat blows in my face, especially this cloudy day without the sun, stuffy and hot, and the noisy cicadas seem to pierce people's eardrums, which adds a little irritability.

Yang Xiaohan knelt on the ground, couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while, the body that had lost blood yesterday had not recovered, just now he was kneeling and kowtowing, the blood quickly spread from the gauze, Yang Xiaohan could even feel the flow of blood, but she still didn't move.

Fang Ling looked at Yang Xiaohan's weak back in front of her, tears quickly flowed, she didn't understand why Yang Xiaohan's fate was so bumpy. has been bullied in the Guogong Mansion since he was a child, and finally has a bright future, but he still can't escape the life of being beaten and punished, when will such a day come to an end?

After Yang Xiaohan stood up for an hour, sweat had soaked through his clothes, and his body began to tremble faintly.

After Fang Ling noticed it, she couldn't help but call softly: "Master......"

"I'm fine, don't talk!" Yang Xiaohan interrupted Fang Ling's words without looking back.

Fang Ling could only cry and pray that the time would pass quickly.

But the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the sky suddenly began to sink, and the thunder rolled from far and near, and it was about to rain, and listening to the dense thunder, it must have been a lot of rain.

Fang Ling was about to cry, looking at the lower and lower clouds.

And Yang Xiaohan still insisted on kneeling, as if he had not noticed the change in the weather.

A wet wind blew, blowing the corners of the two of them, bringing a hint of coolness and temporary comfort to the hot body.

Soon, the wind began to fall on the two of them on the ground.

At first, I thought it was bearable, but when the raindrops began to fall densely, it hurt to hit the body, and the bean-sized rain crackled and beat the two people's bodies, as if they were going to penetrate the skin.

Fang Ling couldn't help but speak again: "Master, let's go and beg the queen again, such a heavy rain, your injuries have not healed, and then you will be drenched, but how can you get it?" ”

Yang Xiaohan didn't even reply to Fang Ling this time, she only knelt by herself, the wound on her head was soaked by the rain, and she began to suffer severe pain, the rain had made her whole body soaked, her teeth trembled from the cold, and her body shook slightly.

I don't know how long the rain has been falling, and there is no intention of stopping.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ronghua had already left, and the queen also felt very tired from the trouble, so she went to the apse to rest, and only Concubine Shu and Feng Qingxu were left in the corridor.

Feng Qingxu stretched out her hand and gently caught the raindrops under the eaves, her hands were as white as gardenias, her fingers were slender, and the raindrops rolled down from her fingers, like rain falling on lotuses, which was very beautiful.

Concubine Shu stood behind Feng Qingxu, looked coldly at the two masters and servants kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and said: "I can't get used to her bewitching appearance, a pair of eyes can suck people's souls away, the queen is too soft-hearted, such a woman staying by His Royal Highness the Prince's side must be a disaster." ”

When Feng Qingxu heard this, he said softly: "No matter what, she is also a good lady appointed by the prince, and the prince's face, the queen naturally has to take care of it." ”

Concubine Shu sneered and said, "Let's see how much grace she can hold up for a few days." ”

Feng Qingxu listened to Concubine Shu's words, and felt bored for no reason, so she stopped talking, took care of herself, held up an oil umbrella, and slowly paced into the rain.

When Concubine Shu saw that Feng Qingxu was leaving, she also felt that it was not interesting to stay any longer, so she asked the maid to hold an umbrella and follow behind Feng Qingxu.

Yang Xiaohan knelt strongly, the rain fell on his head and face, and he gradually couldn't see things clearly in front of him, and he didn't know how long he could last.

Suddenly, a pair of plain white embroidered shoes met Yang Xiaohan's low-hanging eyes, the shoes were very small, but they were inlaid with precious jade pearls, which were very good-looking. The owner of the shoe stopped, and the slightly swaying skirt covered the shoe with only the toe of the shoe.

At the same time, the rain that fell on her head suddenly disappeared.

As soon as Yang Xiaohan raised his head slightly, he saw the immature face of the breeze, but the eyes were dark and dark, as if they did not belong to this face.

Feng Qingxu looked at Yang Xiaohan silently, the umbrella in her hand covered the rain on her head, Yang Xiaohan's slightly raised face was extremely pale, but it was still like a fine piece of jade, crystal flawless.

Yang Xiaohan didn't speak, just looked back at Feng Qingfu, as if waiting for Feng Qingfu's mockery.

Concubine Shu didn't know what Feng Qingxu was going to do, so she stood aside and waited, as if she was watching Yang Xiaohan's jokes.

Just when Concubine Shu was impatient, Feng Qingxu suddenly spoke: "Your name...... Not so good. ”
