Volume 1 Reborn in Antiquity Chapter 35 The Coming of the Dead
In the imperial garden, Xin Meng sat on the chaise longue boredly, watching Xiaohua arrogantly command the palace maids and palace slaves to work.
A voice came from afar: "Concubine Xian Niangniang has arrived~"
The palace maids and palace slaves in the imperial garden stopped their delicate work, knelt and bowed, and prostrate on the ground.
Xiaohua snorted coldly: "This shelf is really big, it's about to catch up with the emperor." ”
When Xin Meng heard this, he also felt that it was right, but there were many rights and wrongs in the palace, and an unintentional mistake could also cause a big disaster. said expressionlessly: "If you commit the following offenses, you will be punished for copying the palace rules again." ”
Xiaohua lowered her head and confessed: "Yes, the slave is guilty, thank you for your kindness." ”
What a blessing this is! It's simply the emperor's grace!
When the palace maids and palace slaves around heard this conversation, there was no one who didn't envy Xiaohua, the palace maid, and the general palace maid had already been pulled down and scolded with a cane for thirty boards!
The envy in this eye can't be hidden, although the East Palace is not favored, but I haven't seen the queen physically punish anyone? The people there live a nourishing and nourishing life, and they don't have to worry about food or clothing, and they don't have to worry about the punishment of the unpredictable master every day.
Suddenly, many people had the idea of going to the East Palace on an errand.
Xin Meng sat up, picked up the flower water next to him and took a sip, and squinted into the distance, the virtuous concubine walked in like the stars holding the moon, and the concubines were still ministers.
This was followed by shouting all kinds of Mrs. Yipin, Mrs. Fate, and so on.
Xin Meng said slowly: "What are you doing on your knees? Keep working. ”
Concubine Xian led people over, and the queen mother spoke again, but no one got up for a while, for fear of offending Concubine Xian and dying in vain.
Xiaohua swept over with cold eyes, and saw a little palace maid standing up tremblingly and continuing to work, and nodded with satisfaction.
The palace maids and palace slaves around her will look at her like a dead person, offending the virtuous concubine, and the queen can't keep it!
The little palace maid was fiddling with the fruit plate, extremely uneasy in her heart, but she had the idea of begging for death, and her empty eyes showed a look of despair.
Concubine Xian led many ladies to come slowly, and the palace maids and palace slaves knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "Meet Concubine Xian, Wanfu Jin'an!" ”
Concubine Yang Qin nodded and smacked her lips, saw Xin Meng sitting on the chaise longue, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "The concubine is in poor health, and she doesn't bow well, and I hope the queen will bear with her." But with sharp eyes, he saw the little palace maid who did not bow on the side.
Several concubines saluted with many ladies: "See the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Xin Meng said coldly: "Don't be polite, since Concubine Xian is not in good health, don't come out, just stay in the palace and raise the baby with peace of mind."
Concubine Yang Qin replied: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine can also go out for a walk, which is beneficial to the health of the fetus." ”
Concubine Ruan saw Concubine Xian's eyes hinting, and raised her eyes to look at the little palace maid, the palace maids and palace slaves were still kneeling on the ground, because no one dared to get up without Concubine Xian's order, but this little palace maid was bold, not only did not salute but also ignored Concubine Xian. said expressionlessly: "Bold and cheap, when I saw the virtuous concubine, I dared not kneel and salute!" Come on, drag down the rod and punish a hundred! ”
A hundred rods! It's hell-shattering!
Many palace maids and palace slaves shuddered, and their heads were lowered, for fear that they would be killed if they were conspicuous and hindered the noble eyes of the virtuous concubine.
The little palace maid was so frightened that the three souls lost the second soul, knelt down tremblingly, lowered her head and said nothing, and heard the sound of broken steps coming over... It's better to be dead...
Concubine Ruan's words were still majestic, and several palace maids immediately got up and walked over, scrambling to walk over, this kind of meritorious service, but many people rushed to get the job!
Several palace maids unceremoniously set up this little palace maid who didn't know whether to live or die, and said sneeringly: "Dare to commit a crime!" ”
One of the palace maids rolled up her sleeves and slapped her directly, and the little palace maid's face immediately swollen, and a slap mark was particularly conspicuous.
The little palace maid's head was tilted towards the flower court, and she looked at the queen sitting there with desperate eyes, the most noble woman here...
Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, but he smiled at her.
Seeing that she still had the courage to laugh, the other palace maid was immediately angry, raised her hand, and shouted, "Cheap maid! Die without repentance! Another slap in the face.
The little palace maid's little face was swollen, and everyone else watched coldly, and a few ladies took the opportunity to stutter.
"I can't learn the palace rules, how can I come out to serve the master?"
"That's it!"
"The cowardly offended the virtuous concubine, and the death penalty is inevitable!"
Xin Meng sat on his side, turned his face slightly to look over, the phoenix crown above his head trembled slightly, and the golden light shone under the refraction of the light, dazzling.
Many people were dazzled by this golden light, and unconsciously lowered their heads to avoid the golden light.
Concubine Yang Qin is also among them, and she hates it even more in her heart! Sooner or later, that phoenix crown belongs to you!
Xin Meng half-squinted Danfeng's eyes, his lips and teeth were closed, but he said something terrifying: "Isn't the edict of this palace as good as the order of the concubine?" ”
Concubine Yang Qin's face changed slightly, and she responded: "The concubine doesn't dare, the queen's will is naturally the head." ”
Many ladies were silent and didn't dare to answer, no matter how unfavored the queen was, she was still the queen in charge of the six palaces!
Xin Meng asked, "Don't dare? Then why beat the palace maids of this palace? ”
Concubine Ruan immediately bowed her head and knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the concubine's fault, please punish the queen." ”
And the palace maids who were originally holding the little palace maid knelt down in panic and shouted: "Ask the queen for mercy!" The slave and maid only do what they are told. "I'm afraid that I will become a scapegoat, but I think that the queen never treats the palace people strictly, and I feel a little lucky.
Xiaohua walked over, glanced at the dying little palace maid, and waved her hand to let the other palace maids take her down to heal. Returning to Xin Meng's side, he whispered, "Whether she can live depends on her creation." ”
Although the voice was small, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Xin Meng said coldly: "Today is a big day, you have to open the knife as soon as you come, are you dissatisfied with today's palace banquet?"
Except for Concubine Xian, who was still standing, the rest of the concubines and wives knelt down and shouted: "The concubines are terrified! The Queen Mother forgives her sins! ”
If this matter is big, it is dissatisfied with the emperor! Who doesn't know that this palace banquet is not only a New Year's banquet, but also an important banquet to welcome foreign friends! To say that it is small is to be disrespectful to the queen.
Xin Meng said with an indifferent face: "Change a group of palace maids and palace slaves with quick hands and feet to set up the banquet, if you miss the hour, you have to take responsibility?" ”
The palace maids and palace slaves who were kneeling on the ground were all cold when they heard this, and they knew that they would have stood up with the little palace maid just now! was protected by the queen, and he was not afraid of offending Concubine Xian and becoming a scapegoat.
Xiaohua waved her hand and did things unhurriedly.
After a while, another group of new palace maids and palace slaves walked in and saluted the queen mother in a proper manner: "Participate in the queen mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Xin Meng said: "Don't be polite, don't be polite, continue to worship."
The palace maids and palace slaves got up, and when they saw the concubines kneeling on the ground and the noble ladies who they couldn't see on weekdays, they didn't dare to move for a while.
There were some bold palace maids and palace slaves who were busy with their work, and these hesitant people were replaced by Xiaohua.
Xin Meng didn't speak, and the concubines and wives didn't dare to get up, and they didn't dare to breathe in the atmosphere, for fear of causing trouble.
Concubine Yang Qin was so angry that her face was not good, but her identity was there! Damn it! Damn slut! If you have established your authority here today, you will become a prisoner another day!
Concubine Ruan said loudly: "Everything is the fault of the concubine, please punish the queen mother, and the concubine will be punished voluntarily." ”
Xin Meng squinted at him and said, "Naturally, you are punished for your fault, don't worry... Virtuous Concubine. ”
Concubine Yang Qin responded: "The concubine is here." Slightly blessed, revealing her bulging abdomen without a trace, let this slut know that she is pregnant with a dragon seed, which she can't afford to provoke!
Xin Meng naturally knew that she should avoid this demon and let people show her a seat, so as not to faint from exhaustion.
Concubine Yang Qin looked at the chair that had been moved, and hurriedly said, "Queen Xie." Sit down proudly, it's not like asking this palace to sit on an equal footing!
Xin Meng said one more sentence: "Add a few more stoves, don't cold the dragon."
The two palace maids quickly brought two stoves, and suddenly the surroundings of Concubine Xian warmed up a lot.
Xin Meng said calmly: "Concubine Xian is pregnant with the dragon species, and she has no time to be distracted from managing many concubines in Nangong, and it is understandable that she can't manage it. ”
Concubine Yang Qin's smug smile immediately turned cold, and when she lowered her head, her whole face was distorted, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine knows that she is wrong..."
Xin Meng said: "I don't blame you, raising the dragon species well is the main thing, and I believe the emperor will not have a second word." If you overwork, if there is a case, this palace will also be responsible. ”
Although the phoenix seal was handed over to the Queen Mother, the real power of the queen in charge of the six palaces was not withdrawn, and this little thing can still be done.
This was said without leakage, and Concubine Yang Qin couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, what she said was reasonable.
The people present were all the people in the house after the fight, and they couldn't see that Concubine Xian was hollowed out of real power, so they couldn't help but look at this unfavored queen a few more times, and they were a little afraid.
Concubine Yang Qin was flattered and said: "The queen mother is right, the concubine obeys the order, and Concubine Tao is not happy to thank her." Thinking that Concubine Tao is also under her own control, there is nothing to worry about.
Concubine Tao knelt down and answered: "Thank you to the queen for your kindness, and the concubine for her life." ”
Xin Meng bowed his head and said: "Well, let's be exempt from courtesy, it's freezing this day, how bad it is to kneel."
All the concubines and wives got up one after another and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”
Xin Meng said: "Don't be restrained, everyone take a seat first."
This is only for the first eunuchs and wives to sit and rest, and the main banquet has not yet begun.
Xin Meng got up and said, "It's handed over to Concubine Xian here, and as for Concubine Ruan's punishment, it's up to Concubine Xian to set herself." After saying that, he left with Xiaohua.
The concubines and wives stood up again and blessed: "Congratulations to the queen!"
As soon as the queen left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the virtuous concubine Yang Qin stood there, waiting for her to speak.
Concubine Yang Qin smiled like a nightmare, and said: "Ladies are at your own convenience, the body of this palace is not very convenient, Concubine Tao is here to hand it over to you." Leng glanced at Concubine Ruan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and continued: "Concubine Ruan, how do you say this palace should punish you?" The queen mother spoke, and the palace was not merciful. ”
