Concubine De said this part, and her voice gradually understood that what she had just done was really a little too much. So Nian Sheng lowered his head and stopped arguing.

Concubine De glanced at the lifeless voice, and still coldly ordered: "Kneel down to the corridor, when you think clearly, know what the truth is, and then come back and talk back." ”

Although the current weather is not as cold as in winter, the wind blowing through the hall under the corridor is indeed not warm.

Huanchun and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they had the intention to dissuade one or two.

Concubine De knew that she was quite popular on weekdays, so she couldn't help but be verbose with everyone, and immediately said: "Those who dare to intercede will be punished together." If any of you speaks for her, she will kneel for half an hour. If you don't want her to get up, just ask. ”

Concubine De's words were unreasonable, she didn't say how long she would kneel, but now that she said this, naturally no one dared to come forward.

After Concubine De finished speaking, she took Huanchun's hand and got up and went to breakfast.

The bell waited for everyone to go out before he dared to step forward and help him up, "Miss, why don't you go and give you that futon?" The ground is cold, and Concubine De didn't say how long she wanted you to kneel, what should I do if I want to kneel? After thinking about it again, "The left and right Niangniang said that you will go back if you think clearly, you can bear with it, and you can bear with it until the mother has eaten breakfast, and you will go over to admit your mistake, and this matter will pass." ”

Nian Sheng smiled bitterly and got up through the bell's hand, "She's obviously angry, if I don't kneel down until she is angry, even if I admit my mistake, she will still punish me in another way." ”

"Huh?" The bell looked at Nian Sheng in disbelief, "That slave is still ......"

"Alright. It's clear that it's a punishment for kneeling, and you went over in the Nag futon, isn't that an excuse for Concubine De to clean up on me? Niansheng looked at the anxious bell, knowing that she was really worried about herself, so Wen Yan comforted the bell and said, "Okay." It's okay. I am the culmination of my own misfortune, and I deserve to be punished, so don't be disturbed. If you're really good for me, prepare hot water, nourish your spirits, and wait for me to go back and beat my legs, okay? ”

The bell didn't disagree, and nodded vigorously, "You don't need to tell me about this, the slaves and maids must be ready." ”

Nian Sheng then walked out of Concubine De's dormitory safely, walked forward, and knelt down straight under the east corridor of the main hall and began to be punished.

Looking at the way the bell turned back three times in one step, the voice couldn't help but be a little funny. "Let's go. After a while, let the aunts say you're lazy. "But as soon as I finished speaking, I remembered something important again, and hurriedly called the bell back." Listen up. I was punished here by myself, and I have nothing to do with others, you are not allowed to gossip, let alone secretly tell the thirteenth elder brother to know. Not only are you not allowed to go, but you are not even allowed to hand out the message. If you do this, not to mention whether Concubine De will punish you, I won't keep you anyway. ”

The bell was seen through by the sound of the voice, his face was pale for a while, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

Niansheng knew that the bell would not dare to do this, so she relieved her to follow Huanchun to do things.

If you want to talk about the punishment of kneeling, Nian Sheng has not experienced it, kneeling at home with an ancestral tablet, and holding a book in his own mother's house, this kind of thing has never been interrupted since childhood. So when Concubine De punished her to kneel under the corridor, she really didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the left and right were just Concubine De wanting face and looking for the stairs. Besides, she also knew that she was wrong, and this punishment should be just a show. Even if Concubine De Niangniang would not personally exempt herself from punishment, Huanchun and the others should also find an opportunity to come over and deliver a message, so that they can seize the opportunity to get rid as soon as possible.

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Concubine De seems to have forgotten that there is such a thing at all, and when she comes out and goes in, she just thinks about the air, and there is no such person in her eyes.

After coming and going, Huanchun couldn't stand it first, so he had to ask for Niansheng while no one was working. "Master, this Miss Niansheng has been kneeling for more than an hour, and she must know that she is wrong, but it is just that the child's family is thin-faced, has a strong temper, and has no face to take the initiative. Do you really care about this with her? ”

Concubine De put down the account book in her hand that was presented by the Internal Affairs Office yesterday, picked up the teacup and drank most of it before she spoke: "Do you even think that this palace is trying to save face with her child?" ”

"Slaves don't dare." Huan Chun hurriedly put down the things in his hand and saluted Concubine De.

Concubine De raised her hand to signal Huan Chun to get up and walked close to her. "Actually, where is this palace angry with her, if you want to say that it is a collision, she entered the palace to live a few years ago, and at that time she didn't even have the position of a side Fujin, she dared to say such things to this palace, how could this palace really deal with her?"

Huanchun thought about it, but she still didn't understand in her heart, "Niangniang, since you don't get angry with Miss Niansheng, why do you want to punish her?" ”

"Bengong is not angry with her for the crime of contradiction, and he didn't say that she was going to be punished because she contradicted Bengong." Concubine De put down the teacup and her eyes drifted out of the window.

"Then you are Miss Qi Niansheng and the thirteenth elder brother this morning?" Huanchun asked again.

Concubine De sighed faintly, "This palace doesn't even know what they are doing to get angry, so how can they decide this case?" However, Concubine De heard about the scene afterwards, and felt that Niansheng's handling was decisive, "She may have gone a little too far, but after hearing what you said, she is the only way to force Yinxiang away, isn't it?" ”

Huanchun recalled the situation at that time, and still sweated, "Isn't it." If it weren't for Miss Niansheng, the slaves really wouldn't know how to talk to the thirteenth elder brother. But it's not right, "Niangniang, if that's the case, what are you going to punish Miss Niansheng?" Huanchun asked more and more hesitantly.

"This palace punished her because she fouled and didn't know it." Concubine De announced the answer, "You said that Yinxiang came, because Niansheng gave him a purse or something yesterday, yesterday was obviously not the day they should meet, where did Yinxiang's purse come from?" ”

Concubine De's questioning Huanchun lowered her head nervously, and she continued: "After they get acquainted, except for the meeting every three days, there have always been some small contacts, and this palace knows it, but it doesn't hurt to see it, so just turn a blind eye." Who knew that these two people didn't know how to converge, and they actually taught each other privately. This kind of thing is not said in front of people, it is all good behind the scenes, but today Yinxiang will not make trouble in front of our Yonghe Palace? If this palace continues to tolerate it, I'm afraid that if we don't wait for the big wedding, the reputation of the Zhaojia clan will be completely ruined, right? ”

Having said this, Huanchun has to admire the meticulousness of his master.

"In the future, Yinxiang will open a mansion outside, will he also set up such a rule in his mansion? As a Fujin, Zhao Jia's can't even restrain herself, can she still be expected to take care of the affairs of her own yard? The upward and downward effects, the Fu Jin are not respected, the Fu Jin on the other side, the Fu Jin people, don't they want the eight immortals to cross the sea to show their abilities and squeeze their heads to compete for favor? The more Concubine De spoke, the more angry she became, she really didn't know what Nian Sheng had learned from her.

Originally, Niansheng was allowed to enter the palace, one was for Yinxiang's wishes, and the other was because the emperor and Concubine De felt that Niansheng was somewhat wild and untamable, and entered the palace in the hope that the rules of the palace could imperceptibly influence and improve her, but looking at the current situation, this matter is really a little difficult to say.

Huanchun wanted to say something more, but the conversation between the master and servant was quickly interrupted by the arrival of Sibeile.

"My son asks for peace to my mother." Yinzhen's face was as usual to Concubine De's mother, and she couldn't find fault with it, if she had to say something, it would be more than respectful and not affectionate.

Concubine De smiled amiably and asked her son to sit down, and then ordered tea and snacks, and then asked with concern: "Why is it that you are free to come to Eniang at this hour?" But is there something going on? ”

Yinzhen does have something to do, but it's not easy to talk about it.

Seeing Yinzhen hesitate, Concubine De Niangniang retreated left and right, and ordered Huanchun to guard outside the door, and then asked again: "But is there anything important to say to Eniang?" ”

There was no one else in the house, and Yinzhen didn't seem so awkward, and squeaked and explained his intention.

It turned out that Yinzhen was according to his own Fujin's words, and made a special trip to the palace to take a purse made by Yinyu yesterday to Qi Yinxiang, and taught Yinyu a lesson.

"E-niang, my son knows that he shouldn't beat his younger brother, but I'm afraid that the old fourteen will feel uncomfortable, and I ask E-niang to come forward to make peace for my son, and I, as a brother, will compensate him." At the end, Yinzhen said sincerely. "But there is indeed something wrong with Yinyu in this matter, Eniang, you have to find an opportunity to talk about him. That Zhaojia is also his sister-in-law, what will people say in the future, where will everyone's face go? ”

Concubine De's face was quite indifferent, but she was a little shocked in her heart, it turned out that there was such a thing, and even Yinzhen's words, Concubine De finally figured out why Yinxiang's abnormality was this morning.

"Yinzhen, you came here like this, did you see your thirteenth brother in the morning?" Concubine De asked casually.

Yin Zhen didn't doubt him, and said honestly: "My son went to the household department in the morning, and then he came directly to Eniang, and he didn't have time to talk to the thirteenth brother yet." ”

Concubine De nodded, thinking that her son didn't know what was going on in Yonghe Palace in the morning, so it was better to have more than one thing, and she didn't plan to explain more to Yinzhen, but only said that she would teach Yinzhen a lesson, "He is your younger brother, and he is younger, so you should discipline him." E-niang will also talk about him well. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Yin Zhen saw that his mother was willing to help make peace, so he was naturally happy, and remembered that when he came in, he caught a glimpse of someone kneeling under the corridor, so he asked casually, "Eniang, my son seemed to see someone kneeling under the corridor just now?" ”
