Chapter 375: Provocation
Xia Chutao took the jade pot all the way to the Mingjing Palace, and heard the sound of tantrums and smashing things in the Mingjing Palace from a distance.
"You dog minions! That's how you perfunctory me in the robes you want to use for canonization?! ”
Xia Chutao just stepped in, and a blue vase flew out, Xia Chutao shrewdly dodged, but he was not injured, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Meiren who was angry with some complicated feelings.
Look at this palace full of more than a dozen people kneeling, and the master of ceremonies of the bureau is also there, good guy, this is the whole bureau has been moved.
"Xia Shangyi is here, it's just right to come, I just have something to ask you."
When Li Meiren saw Xia Chutao coming in, she knew that she was the main owner of this matter.
"I've seen Li Meiren, I don't know why Li Meiren is so angry."
At the beginning of the summer, the peach did not change her face, and she bowed to Li Meiren unhurriedly, which was the beginning of asking about it.
"See for yourself!"
Li Meiren was very unceremoniously, and directly grabbed the robe in the wooden plate held by the maidservant on the side, and smashed it on Xia Chutao's face.
Xia Chutao snorted and turned her face sideways, but she didn't dare to speak.
The robe used by the concubine when she was canonized was made of very precious materials, and the weight of the clothes was naturally not a problem.
"Shang Yi!"
The jade pot that knelt down with Xia Chutao looked at this scene a little helplessly, and shouted out in distress, but Xia Chutao raised his hand to stop him and signaled the jade pot not to speak.
She can be regarded as calm, even if she is humiliated in front of so many people, she can calmly pick up her robe and examine it carefully.
At the beginning of the summer, the peach also saw the flaws on the robe, which were very eye-catching.
"Why is the gold wire broken......?"
Xia Chutao only felt that it was a little strange to caress the broken place of the gold thread, just because of a break in this place, but it caused the entire pattern of a golden embroidered crane on the robe to collapse.
With this kind of damage, there is naturally no way to wear this robe.
"Look for yourself, this robe looks like this, do you Shangyi Bureau want me to wear this robe to go out and be embarrassed?"
In fact, I don't blame Li Meiren for being so angry, the damage to this robe is obviously a bit excessive.
Xia Chutao touched this disconnected place, but fell into deep thought.
"Also, are you all raising a bunch of rice buckets in the Shangyi Bureau? This golden wire is broken like this, but one by one they say that they don't know anything, what is it if you don't cut corners?! ”
Xia Chutao raised her head, her expression was calm, and she spoke in a cold voice.
"Li Meiren, there is no fixed number for everything, so naturally you can't talk nonsense about such words. In order to make the robes and jewelry used by the concubines when they were canonized, the Shangyi Bureau worked hard up and down, cutting corners, saying that it was going to kill the head when it was big, and no one dared to do such a disrespectful thing. ”
Li Meiren saw that Xia Chutao actually dared to stuff herself in front of so many people, and she couldn't help but change her face, and her tone was even more unhappy.
"Then you say, what is the reason why you are not cutting corners? Could it be that this golden wire cracked on its own?! ”
"Forgive the slave for being rude."
After Xia Chutao finished speaking, she slowly stood up and came to Li Meiren with her robe.
"Li Meiren, please take a look."
"The opening of the broken gold wire is very neat, and the slave guesses that this gold wire has been deliberately cut, but I am afraid that someone has deliberately done it."
"Deliberately?!"
Li Meiren heard such words, she was targeted before she was canonized, and anyone would feel angry about such a thing.
But in this way, it is true that the charges he put on Shangyi Bureau before are all empty, and it suddenly makes Li Meiren feel embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Li Meiren felt that her face was important, so she continued to raise her voice, and she refused to let go of the people in front of her.
"Even if that were the case, it would not prove that this man who deliberately cut off the golden thread is not among you!"
"You can't afford such a crime, all of them are capital crimes!"
Li Meiren's words scared everyone and couldn't help but shudder, and one by one they lowered their heads in fear, only Xia Chutao's face still didn't change.
"Li Meiren is angry, this is just a relatively small crane pattern on the robe, if you go back to get it and sew it carefully, you can still dare to change it back for Li Meiren before the canonization ceremony."
Li Meiren raised her eyebrows as if she had heard something very ridiculous, and her tone was sarcastic.
"Sewing? The concubines will use the auspicious clothes for the canonization ceremony, and you will sew and mend them? What is this? Did the beggars on the side of the road send me away?! ”
Xia Chutao knelt down with some difficulty, did not speak again, and began to feel that the things in front of her had become complicated, the key is that Li Meiren is indomitable, and she is indeed a difficult master.
"Then according to the beauty, how should it be?"
At this time, the jade pot on the side was also out of the idea of relieving Xia Chutao, and asked Li Meiren so cautiously with some tentativeness.
As if she had finally heard what she wanted to hear, Li Meiren picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip slowly, and said lightly.
"Of course, it's for me to sew a new one, so that it can be said to be an auspicious dress, and it has been sewn and repaired, like something."
Xia Chutao listened, but said to Li Meiren in a firm tone.
"Li Meiren, no."
Li Meiren's face sank again, and she threw the cup in her hand back on the table with a "snap", and some tea came out between the collision of the lids, but the crisp sound was terrifying.
"Why not?! Could it be that your Shangyi Bureau is serving your master like this? Gang up to perfunctory me?! ”
"Slaves don't dare."
Xia Chutao first gave Li Meiren a salute, and then continued.
"The auspicious clothes used for canonization are very luxurious and delicate items, and the Shangyi Bureau has been purchasing them almost a few months ago, and every auspicious dress of the concubines has taken the long-term efforts of the Shangyi Bureau, not to mention that it is not too late to rush the system at this time, even if it is not allowed on His Majesty's side."
"The country's long-term war in the early stage, good rest and recuperation, Your Majesty issued a benevolent government, rested with the people, and took the lead in everything to be simple, Li Meiren's words, I am afraid that they are not in line with Your Majesty's words."
"How dare you use Your Majesty to suppress me?!"
When Li Meiren heard such words, not only did she not feel reasonable, but she also felt that Xia Chutao was provoking herself.
She raised her hand and gave Xia Chutao a slap in front of the public, Xia Chutao snorted, but she didn't make any other moves, she just stunned everyone present, and one by one she didn't dare to come out.
"This woman is wild?"
"Damn, I actually dare to hit my little peach."
"This woman is so arrogant."
"Li Meiren, your number is gone, and I don't look at who you are calling."
"My God, I really don't give any face."
"Are you provoking Hongu?"
Li Meiren looked at the half of Xia Chutao's red face, showing a satisfied smile, and there was no lack of smug looks.
Xia Chutao just endured the hot pain on her cheeks and didn't say anything.
For a moment, Xia Chutao slowly said two words.
"Don't dare."
Li Meiren saw Xia Chutao kneeling so straight, such a loud slap was also sturdy, without a sound, and it was also a hard bone in the end.
Thinking about it was to look at the dazzling sunlight outside, but she seemed to think of something, and a sly smile rose on her lips.
"In that case, Xia Shangyi should still kneel outside."
Xia Chutao glanced back at the sunshine outside, and at this time it was also more vicious, her heart moved, and she hesitated.
The jade pot glanced at Xia Chutao in horror, and then immediately said to Li Mei.
"Li Meiren, no!"
When Li Meiren heard the jade pot say this, she became interested and asked with a smile.
"Oh? Why not? ”
The jade pot was lying on the ground, trembling for a long time, this is what it said.
"Our Shang Yi has been unwell these days, and the scorching sun outside is really not good to kneel, so please ask Li Meiren to raise her noble hand and spare Shang Yi, right?"
"Oh? Sick? ”
Li Meiren carefully explored Xia Chutao's body with great interest.
"I just said that Xia Shangyi's face looks so bad, I remember when I was sick a while ago, the doctor told me to go out and bask in the sun and move around more, Shangyi is the most suitable."
Hearing Li Meiren say this, she was determined to let Xia Chutao kneel out, and the face of the jade pot turned pale in an instant, and she didn't know what to say.
"No problem."
Xia Chutao was not panicked, and his face was calm, so he slowly stood up and walked out the door.
"Shang Yi! Shang Yi! No! Shang Yi! ”
I don't know anything else, how could the jade pot not know that Xia Chutao's current body can't be kneeling at all, not to mention that the sun outside is so scorching, she can't be sure how long Xia Chutao's body can last.
But Xia Chutao seemed to be determined to fight Li Meiren to the end, and came directly outside with a heart, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Shangyi ......"
The jade pot also followed, and when she saw Xia Chutao kneeling, she naturally knelt with her.
The jade pot whispered in Xia Chutao's ear with a somewhat flustered expression.
"Shang Yi, forget it, you are pregnant, you can't kneel for a long time...... Just take it soft. ”
But at the beginning of Xia, Tao raised his gaze and looked at the jade pot fixedly.
"I said it, it doesn't matter."
