Chapter 058: Harem (3)
Jingxi Palace, the Queen Mother and the Pei sisters sat high on it, and when they saw me walking into the hall, their eyes hit me in the face one by one, full of anger.
"The Queen Mother, Wanfu Jin'an."
I saluted, then turned and sat straight to the empty seat next to me.
"Queen, Mrs. Pei said that you instructed someone to beat her, but is there such a thing?"
The Queen Mother's voice was not high, but her tone was obviously asking about the crime, not asking.
I nodded and shook my head, and responded without humility or arrogance: "Back to the Queen Mother, I just let my subordinates teach me a lesson, and the people who slandered the sons in front of the sons and daughters did not target Mrs. Pei." ”
"Nonsense, I haven't slandered anyone!?" Pei Lin said angrily on the side: "Obviously, the queen connived at the murder of her subordinates, the queen mother, you have to be the master of Lin'er." ”
The Queen Mother coughed lightly a few times, then turned her head and asked, "Empress, are you sure to verify the truth, or is it really as Lin'er said, you intend to target?" ”
At this time, Princess Pei Jingqiu interjected: "Queen Mother, although Lin'er was named Mrs., the seat is still below the Queen Mother, so the Queen doesn't have to worry about it, it's not ......."
"Princess Ping is really a sister, so Princess Ping should know Mrs. Pei's character very well."
Pei Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect me to intercept her words, and asked about Pei Lin.
"Lin'er is well-read, and she is known to be a lady in the city of Leah......"
"Lady, haha, haha." I deliberately laughed exaggeratedly, and the Queen Mother and the Pei sisters on the side became extremely embarrassed.
"I'm sorry guys, but I suddenly remembered a joke, so I laughed."
"Queen, the mourning family doesn't have time to talk to you about jokes, what I'm talking about now is, what you should do with the palace maid who committed the following crimes!"
Although the Queen Mother is still aggressive, she has obviously made a step back, but I can only go further, and I have not thought about taking a step back, not half a step.
"What does the Queen Mother think should be done, skinning, or broken bones?" I asked lightly, deliberately saying that the punishment was severe.
Sure enough, several people immediately became a little flustered.
"It doesn't have to be so serious, just hit a few boards." The Queen Mother glanced at Pei Lin, saw that she had no objection, and continued: "There is no need to ask for human life. ”
"Then how can she be spared?" I spoke righteously and motioned to Du Ruo on the side, "Go, bring Cuiyun up." ”
Du Ruo answered, and went out to bring Cuiyun who was waiting at the door.
"Cuiyun, are you guilty?" I deliberately raised my voice and asked: "You beat Mrs. Pei and committed the following crimes, and now the Queen Mother and Princess Ping have asked the palace to administer justice, you can plead guilty." ”
Cui Yun knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Queen Mother, the reason why the slave maid beat Mrs. Pei is because Mrs. Pei is disrespectful to the Queen Mother and is guilty of the following." ”
"Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Pei also committed the following crimes?"
"Yes." Cui Yun didn't wait for Pei Lin to argue, and continued to argue: "Mrs. Pei is making a loud noise in Jingtai Palace, which is disrespectful. To slander the queen is a great disrespect. The slave and maid taught the disrespectful people according to the order of the queen, how can they be guilty, and ask the mother to know the truth, the queen mother to know the truth. ”
"Bold slave, even a lie!" The Queen Mother spoke out to stop Cui Yun from continuing to speak, "Come on, drag her down......"
"Slow!" I hurriedly stopped: "Queen Mother, I just remembered in this palace, as Princess Ping said, Mrs. Pei is under the status of the queen, so she is not disrespectful, is it also the following offense?" If so, then will she also be punished! ”
"This ......"
Pei Lin cried and retorted: "Queen Mother, Lin'er didn't, Lin'er just said that the queen's mother was too big, and she didn't ......"
"What's the big shelf in the main palace? There are so many new concubines, why hasn't anyone told the palace? "I got up and walked slowly to the center of the hall, and bowed to the Queen Mother." The queen mother, the son is the princess of the Great Zhou and the queen of the new moon, so she naturally wants to maintain the face of the royal family, and to talk about the princess, that is, to talk about the royal family, is to damage the royal face. Although the palace maid Cuiyun committed the following crimes, it was to maintain the royal face, and she acted on orders, and asked the Queen Mother to know that if she had to deal with Cuiyun, then the sons would not be able to escape the blame, and Mrs. Pei must also be punished in the same way, even because of the initiator, she will be guilty of a crime! ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother was choked by me for a while, Pei Lin on the side was suddenly dumbfounded, and hurriedly pulled her sister Pei Jingqiu, in the end, the Queen Mother had seen some scenes, and quickly calmed down again.
"Okay, the queen hurry up, in the eyes of the mourning family, it's just a misunderstanding." The Queen Mother bypassed all the arguments lightly, and added a sentence when she came. "The harem still has to be harmonious, don't beat and scold at every turn, and the emperor of the province will be upset when he sees it."
Obviously, the Queen Mother is pointing at me. I returned to my seat and motioned for Cuiyun to get up and let her stand behind Du Ruo.
"The Queen Mother taught me a lesson, so Mrs. Pei, if there is anything to say in the future." I smiled and proposed: "A few days ago, the son and the queen mother mentioned that there is a storyteller, and today the son of the minister made an appointment, why don't you let him tell the queen mother a book to relieve the boredom?" ”
"Forget it, the mourning family is a little tired, so I won't listen."
"Queen Mother, I heard that it is also leisure, maybe you can sleep better and be more stable after listening to it?"
"The Queen Mother is tired, so don't embarrass the Queen Mother." What Pei Jingqiu said was very unpopular.
"Alas, it's not a coincidence that the Queen Mother has to summon the palace, and the palace has brought the storyteller here. It just so happens that Princess Ping is also there, and Mrs. Pei is also there, you can also listen to this book, maybe you will benefit from it, and maybe you can't say it. ”
I laughed in my heart: "Let you have to trouble this princess, so that it is easy for you to invite the Buddha and send the Buddha." ”
The Queen Mother and Princess Heping still didn't want to listen to the book, and got up to leave Jingxi Palace, when a loud voice came from outside the palace.
"Why don't you just listen to it!"
Qi Yan walked in from outside with the guard Gu Li and saluted the Queen Mother. Princess Ping and Mrs. Pei and I saluted Emperor Qi Yan. The palace people of the Empress Dowager's Jingxi Palace immediately moved the chairs, and we gave way to a seat close to the Empress Dowager.
Qi Yan glanced at me, slowly walked to the empty seat and sat down.
"Queen Mother, since the queen likes to listen to books, why don't you ask the storyteller to come here to tell a paragraph, but listen, what are the good stories."
The Queen Mother and Princess Peace glanced at each other, feeling a little stubborn, so they had to nod and say, "Okay, Queen, please bring the storyteller you know." ”
"Yes, Du Ruo, go and pass on Sun Zheng."
Hearing me say this name, Emperor Qi Yan subconsciously asked, "Why is he?" ”
