Chapter 37: Hatred

"The concubine greets the lady." Qin Yuning and Ji Yunhui bowed to Mrs. Li in unison.

"Two sisters, please take a seat." Mrs. Li smiled amiably and asked them to get up, and motioned for the palace maid beside her to help them up.

Qin Yuning and Ji Yunhui still saluted in a proper manner and then stepped aside, now that Mrs. Li is here and still standing, where do they dare to sit?

"Yu Niangniang, the concubine was afraid that the palace maid would be clumsy, and if she didn't pay attention to breaking the hairpin, she sent it in person." Mrs. Li did not sit down, but took the package in Cuiying's hand, and personally held the sandalwood box and sent it to Queen Cheng Lingyue.

Qingxin took a step forward and took it, turned around and put it on the coffee table next to Cheng Lingyue.

Queen Cheng Lingyue smiled softly: "There is Sister Lao Li." ”

Then Cheng Lingyue beckoned to Qin Yuning, "Sister Qin, come over and see if you like this style, if you like my sister, I will order someone to make a similar one, if you don't like it, you can change to other styles and make the style you like." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Qin Yuning saluted indifferently and thanked him, and slowly took a few steps forward.

Cheng Lingyue nodded to Qingxin, and Qingxin immediately stepped forward to unwrap the package and face the sandalwood box to Lan Guiren, and slowly opened it.

Not only Qin Yuning, but even Ji Yunhui stretched her neck curiously to watch, what kind of jasper hairpin actually used such a precious box.

"Ahh

"Huh!"

"Empty!"

A few sounds of surprise sounded, and the straightforward Ji Yunhui couldn't help but say to herself, "Empty." ”

Nangong Qing didn't speak from beginning to end, leaning lazily on the armrest, and when he heard Ji Yunhui's exclamation, his sword eyebrows were lightly raised, his eyes were deep, and his expression was unpredictable, and his eyes secretly crossed Mrs. Li's face.

Mrs. Li, who had originally turned around and retreated, quickly turned around, pounced forward, and immediately had teary eyes, her face was pale, and she threw herself into Nangong Qing's arms with tears and grievances.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines, the jasper hairpin is gone, woo woo ......"

"Woo...... That's my favorite jasper hairpin, which was specially made by the emperor for his concubines, woo woo ......" Mrs. Li was sadly buried in the emperor's arms and cried in a low voice.

The delicate and pitiful appearance makes people feel pity in vain.

Nangong Qing lowered his head and hugged her and patted her back gently, gently comforting, "Well, don't cry, I will be the master for you, good." ”

"I don't know who keeps this jasper hairpin?" Nangong Qing's expression remained unchanged and asked coldly.

Cuiying hurriedly knelt down when she heard this, "Back to the emperor, this hairpin is kept by a slave." ”

"Then why is this hairpin missing?" Nangong Qing asked lightly.

"Back to the emperor, only from the last time the mother put it back in the box, and since then I have been sick and have not worn it, the slave really doesn't know, the emperor is a clear guide." Hearing this, Cui Ying looked frightened, worried, and afraid of banging her head.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine, that is the most beloved thing of the concubine, woo woo......" Mrs. Li raised her head in Nangong Qing's arms, her eyes were full of tears, and she was pitiful, with the shyness of a girl.

Nangong Qing didn't speak, just stared at Mrs. Li blankly.

They looked at each other, and the picture of their eyes intertwined saw Cheng Lingyue's eyes, which made her pupils constrict, and she secretly gritted her teeth, she couldn't just let her get by.

Queen Cheng Lingyue's willow eyebrows were slightly twisted, her eyes flickered, her lips pulled slightly, and she smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, Cuiying is not good at keeping the things given by the emperor, and she was going to kill the head if she didn't see the things given by the emperor. ”

"The queen mother spares her life, the queen mother spares her life, the slave knows that she is wrong, the mother begs you to save the slave and the maid, the mother begs you." Cui Ying was nervous and frightened, kowtowed repeatedly, and finally crawled to Mrs. Li and begged her to save her.

Two burly mothers-in-law came in and picked up Cuiying and was about to walk out.

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Li immediately looked at Nangong Qing with pleading eyes, "Cuiying is waiting for her concubines to do her best, she doesn't know about this time, it must be someone in the palace who has unclean hands and feet who stole it, can you spare her?" ”

Then Mrs. Li turned to Queen Cheng Lingyue, "Queen Mother, Cuiying has no merit and hard work, when the concubine was sick, she was the one who guarded the concubine without undressing, maybe it was stolen at that time, it has nothing to do with her, can you spare her once?" ”

"Sister Li, if you spare her this time, she will still lose the items carelessly in the future, now it is a jasper hairpin, what about next time? Next time, it may be a seal, it may be your golden book, if you don't punish it, you won't always remember it, not only her, but all the maids and eunuchs in my sister's palace will be severely punished. Although Cheng Lingyue was not aggressive, what she said was well-founded, so that Mrs. Li couldn't refute it.

Mrs. Li lowered her eyelids, and took away the reluctance and resentment in her eyes, more resentment, she squeezed the silk silk in her hand, and buried it in Nangong Qing's arms with indignation, not daring to look at Cuiying's eyes for help.

Cui Ying trembled with fear, her body was weak and she couldn't even stand steadily, her eyes were desperate, and she screamed miserably for the queen to spare her life, but she still dragged her mother-in-law out.

The sound of "crackling" canes came from afar, accompanied by Cuiying's painful cry, the voice gradually became smaller and louder, and finally became a hoarse whimper, Cuiying didn't even have the strength to scream, and the person was lying on the bench, his head hanging weakly.

Mrs. Li's face was pale, although it was not her, but she still had the feeling that it was her who was beaten, she pinched her handkerchief tightly, not letting herself scream, the resentment in her eyes became more and more profound, more and more vicious, queen, you wait.

Queen Cheng Lingyue squinted her eyes and swept over Mrs. Li who was buried in Nangong Qing's arms, and her resentment for her lowliness was not expressed, but she just tugged at the corners of her lips slightly, hum, come on, is this palace still afraid of you?

Nangong Qing patted Mrs. Li's shoulder very indifferently, seemingly not caring, but her elite and restrained eyes looked at the eyes of Queen Cheng Lingyue and Mrs. Li, and an unpredictable star flashed under her eyes.

Qin Yuning and Ji Yunhui looked at each other, and they couldn't help lowering their heads in fear, Cuiying's piercing and terrifying screams caused a cold air to gush out from the soles of their feet, which was colder than the thousand-year-old ice, penetrating to the bottom of their hearts, if they hadn't sat on the chairs, their legs would have been weak and they would have fallen to the ground.

"Queen, you actually made a hairpin, it is better to give me one more." Nangong Qing said suddenly, and then bowed his head to comfort Mrs. Li, "If I give you this one again, don't be sad." ”

Queen Cheng Lingyue heard this, her willow eyebrows were raised and her eyes widened angrily, staring at Nangong Qing, who had lowered her head, no longer hiding the look on her face, she squinted her eyes coldly, put her hands in her sleeves, pinched her palms tightly, and suppressed the screams she was about to burst.

She wanted to scream, she was the one who killed the eldest princess, why should she be so nice to her?

She hates it!
