He helped me up, and said kindly, "You have been innocently punished, and you don't need to make such a big salute again," and asked in a low voice near my sideburns, "Are you okay?" ”

I shook my head.

"Why is half of my face swollen?"

Jae-yan said as he reached out and touched my cheek.

I hurriedly endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty." It is implied that he has someone else present.

He cleared his throat, turned around and called Bai Ge up, and explained: "Haosheng takes care of your little master," and then suppressed his voice, looked at Longyu coldly, and said slowly, "The queen has such an impatient temperament, how can she be a mother in the world in the future." Gotta change. ”

Long Yu stood in place angrily, his eyebrows raised angrily, but his mouth grinned downward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Could it be that the emperor meant that he wanted to abolish the minions? The slave is Lafayette's niece, and Lafayette will never agree! ”

Zai Yan looked at Longyu quietly, and only spoke for a while, his voice was thick and heavy, "The queen doesn't take words out of context at every turn, she likes to use Lafayette to suppress me at every turn!" Then he frowned, "When did I say I was going to abolish you!" Why should I abolish you! ”

After a while, Zai Yan pointed to Ru'er, who was hiding behind Longyu, and said, "But you beat Zhen Concubine with your hands?" ”

Ru'er has been a thief since she came, and the sweat on her forehead has long been wet with the collar horns, and now listening to Zaiyan's tone, it is clear that there is a great sense of punishment, and she hurriedly knelt down and took two steps forward, grabbed the corner of Zaiyan's robe and cried: "Your Majesty, the slave knows that she is wrong." The slave and maid don't dare anymore, the slave and the maid are not very clear in their minds today to be rude to the little master Zhen, and ask the emperor to forgive the slave and maid. ”

Longyu said in a deep voice: "Ru'er is the palace maid next to the slave, does the emperor really want to punish him severely?" These words are neither sincere nor pitiful, and there is only a hint of indifference and provocation between the lines.

Zai Yan glanced at Longyu in disgust, but didn't say much. Ru'er saw that the situation was not right, bowed three times, walked to me on his knees, and cried loudly: "The slave and maid made a big mistake today, and I don't ask the little master for forgiveness, I just ask the little master to let the slave and maid live." ”

I glanced at Ru'er, who was crying embarrassed, in the end, she was also obedient to others, and suffered for others, I couldn't help but feel compassion, pushed Bai Ge's hand away, walked to Zaiyan and endured the burning pain, and said: "Who is not at fault, it is good to know that mistakes can be changed, the slave thinks that Ru'er must have already known that she is wrong, the slave is just a slap, and it is not a big deal, please ask the emperor to spare her life!" ”

Zai Yan looked at me, glanced at Ru'er again, and said, "Since Concubine Zhen personally pleaded for you, I don't want to save her face too much." I wish to die, but now...... Just send him to the Xinzhiku to be enslaved. ”

Zai Yan took a few steps back, raised his hand, Fan Changlu summoned a few young little eunuchs, stepped forward to ask for peace, and hit Longyu and me respectively, Zai Yan frowned and said, "Take it down," Fan Changlu turned his head and glanced at Longyu, who was bruised, and didn't dare to make a move, Zai Yan squinted his eyes and shouted softly, "Don't pull it down!" Then he said: "The palace maid is unruly, and the Internal Affairs Office will pick two clever envoys for the queen." “

Fan Changlu replied "yes", and several people dragged Ru'er, who was paralyzed on the ground, down, and Zai Yan glanced at Longyu, "Queen, remember, the palace maids around you don't understand the rules, you have to train well, otherwise if you give birth to something like today, outsiders will look at it, and they will think that I am selfish and biased towards the queen, and they will also say that I am unfair, even if Lafayette is here, there is nothing to say." ”

Longyu rubbed the silk in his hand vigorously and said, "The slave knows." There was a look of disbelief on his face.

Longyu bowed and withdrew. Zai Yan came over and looked at me with a smile, and said in a tone that said, "Zhen'er, go back to the medicine, it's not good if you leave a scar," he leaned closer, and his voice was so low that only me and him could hear it, "I'll go to Jingren Palace to see you in the evening." ”

I smiled and gave a very low and soft "um".

Bai Ge helped me to finally return to Jingren Palace, I could clearly feel that the left half of my cheek that was bound by Longyu's palm was slowly swelling little by little over time, Gao Wanzhi and Dai Chunrong were shocked when they saw me, and they hurriedly said loudly inside: "Ying'er, Que'er, the little master is back, go and fetch a basin of water." ”

Ying'er and Que'er trotted out together, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, little master?" I went to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, why did my face swell like this? Saying that, the eyes of the two of them were hurried, revealing a little surprise, and after a moment, they asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Lafayette tortured our little master?" ”

Bai Ge bit his lip, "No, it's good, how could Lafayette torture the little master?" ”

Ying'er welcomed me into the main hall and said, "Exactly, the slave maid also feels strange, Lafayette likes our little master so much, how can he be willing to treat the little master like this," sighed, and said, "But our little master is so favored, except for Lafayette in the palace, who else dares to torture our little master?" ”

Bai Ge snorted lightly, "Who else can there be, Queen Mother!" ”

Ying'er pouted lightly, and said in an angry tone: "The queen mother has always been unhappy to see our little master, she is always sneering and sarcastic on weekdays, she is not favored but always likes to blame our little lord for the sake, the little lord has repeatedly tolerated it, the queen mother not only does not know how to restrain herself, but now she has intensified her efforts, and she actually lynched the little one, which is really excessive!" ”

Que'er came in with a basin of water, twisted a cold handkerchief, quietly walked over and gently applied it to my face, and suddenly there was a tingling pain, "That's right, if it weren't for our little lord who often persuaded the emperor not to snub the queen too much, the queen mother's Zhongcui Palace might be three points colder than the ice cellar!" ”

I sighed lightly, "You all don't have to say a word," I looked around and continued, "I know that the queen mother is already extremely hostile to me, and you are still so open-mouthed, what if it is accidentally passed out?" ”

Seeing that the handkerchief was hot, Que'er went to twist it again, and came over to help me put it on, "The little master actually helped the queen to speak, but the slaves and maids were all upset for the little master." ”

I smiled and said gently: "I naturally know that you are all for my good," Looking at the appearance of Que'er, Ying'er, and Bai Ge worrying about me and being indignant for me, I couldn't help but sigh, pursed my mouth, and shook my head again, "Actually, calm down and empathize, I can also understand the actions of the queen mother, she is just deep in love and hatred." ”

Ying'er's face was puzzled, "The depth of love, the depth of hate?" ”

I smiled and said, "The queen mother loves the emperor, and is even willing to give everything for the emperor, but the emperor always turns a blind eye to the queen's affection, but has a deep affection for me," After a pause, I took a deep breath and continued, "Whether the queen mother is the emperor's wife and the mother of a country, or just as a woman who loves the emperor, love is a great pain, and the root of this pain comes from my existence," I said, I chuckled and said, "So, How much the queen mother loves the emperor, she will naturally hate me, this is probably a very deep emotional transfer, "After thinking about it, I can't help but laugh, "Speaking of which, if I am in the situation of the queen mother, I may not be much better, but I am more fortunate here." "Think about it, in the past, in modern times, I was also a woman who tore each other apart with my ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend, and in the face of feelings, I don't dare to say that I can always maintain absolute calm and reason.

Ying'er said: "It's not! The little lord is much kinder than the queen! ”

I chuckled, "It's true that you think too well of me!" ”

Que'er smiled: "The little master is good!" Otherwise, how could the little lord not only make the emperor fall in love with him as soon as he entered the palace, but also make Lafayette like it! ”

Bai Ge turned around and poured me a cup of tea, "Little master, this is the Maojian that the emperor specially sent this morning, I heard that it was just paid tribute from the south of the Yangtze River yesterday, there are only two Hu, one Hu was sent to Ningshou Palace to Lafayette, and the other Hu is in our Jingren Palace." ”

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Really?" Then he took the plum pattern green jade cup, uncovered the lid of the cup, sniffed close to the tip of his nose, the fragrance was fragrant, such as the blue glow was broken, and it was also like a light milky flower, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a good tea," and sighed lightly, "Look, this tea is, it is clear that Jiangnan only paid tribute to two Hu, according to the dignity of nature, one should be given to Lafayette, and the other should be given to the queen, but the emperor just gave me this other Hu, isn't this exactly what I took the queen's mother?" ”

Bai Ge said lightly: "The little lord doesn't want to talk nonsense," blessed me, and then said, "If you want to say this like the little master, then even the emperor should be the queen alone, but as we all know, the emperor doesn't like the queen at all, if the emperor doesn't have the little lord by his side, and often adds fragrance to his red sleeves, then I'm afraid there will only be one sentence left, 'The moon pool is empty, and the shade of the flowers and pavilions is slanting', isn't this kind of life too bleak?" ”

I thought about it and felt that Bai Ge was right, in modern times, monogamy is all thanks to free love and choice of union, Rao is like this, and there are so many couples who can't go on in the end and choose to divorce. And in this ancient time, when a marriage letter could only be made by the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, it was really sad to put two men and women who had no feelings at all together, and whether it was good or bad was all up to the destiny of heaven!

Throughout the ages, people are so unwilling to admit defeat, look at it in a different way of thinking, probably the three wives and four concubines in ancient times may also be in order to find the person they love the most throughout their lives, in ancient times, a letter of resignation is naturally simple, but the woman who was sent back to her mother's house is different from modern women, and her life will be nailed to the nail of shame only infinite sadness.
