Chapter VI: Decree and Punishment
Shang Kelan put her head on his neck, her heart softened, and her tone couldn't help but soften: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"Don't you dare?"
Jin Yantang laughed lowly, his hand gently stroked her soft hair, and whispered intimately so that she couldn't help but fall into it.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a joke for others to see such intimacy."
Shang Kelan's face flushed, feeling the temperature on the bodies of the two of them through the thin fabric of the summer, but his hand tightened tighter, refusing to let go like a precious jewel, she couldn't help but lower her head.
"Who dares to laugh at me?"
Although Jin Yantang said this, he still let her go.
She couldn't help but sigh, if she didn't let it go, she was afraid that the two unconscious people would see it later, and they would be angry if they swallowed her alive.
Sure enough, as soon as she tidied up her clothes and straightened the broken hair in her ears, the sound of hurried footsteps outside sounded, just a steady and a lively wind, obviously, Concubine Hua was in a hurry.
She lowered her head and stood obediently to the side, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!"
As soon as Concubine Hua passed the report, she immediately knelt down here, looking like a pear blossom with rain, and touched the corners of her eyes very easily, and the cumbersome hair ornament was shining, but it made Shang Kelan look a little dazzling.
It seems that even if this is the case, they have to be dressed up brightly, she doesn't know why this emperor blames them?
Concubine Ning, on the other hand, is more simple than in the past.
"What's wrong?"
The emperor snorted coldly, and did not look up at the two of them, only lowered his head to correct the folds.
Concubine Hua glanced at Shang Kelan viciously, and then touched the non-existent tears with a handkerchief, and then said: "Concubine, concubine is also a ghost for a while, so she wants to go to the summer, she didn't think about it so much, it was the concubine's brain that was muddled, and I asked Your Majesty to condemn it!" ”
"Are you sincere?"
Jin Yantang pursed his lips, opened his mouth lightly, and glanced at Concubine Ning kneeling next to him: "What about you?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't think clearly for a while before agreeing to this matter, and she also took Sister Lan with her, it was a good intention, but she did a bad thing, she didn't think it through, and I hope Your Majesty will punish her!"
Kindness? Not really......
Shang Kelan hooked her lips, and although she didn't clearly point out who it was, she said that she was not the mastermind, and she also defined her mistake as doing bad things with good intentions......
She bowed her head slightly, and was thinking about whether to kneel down together, Jin Yantang, who was sitting on the top position, waved his sleeves and stood up, not angry and arrogant: "First, as a bureaucratic family, you two entered the palace early, why don't you take such a thing to heart, only take care of yourself, although you are a harem girl, but there is no court in your heart!" ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
Even the people on the street know that they are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and such a big hat is buttoned down, that is, it is put on the harem maids, and on the princes and nobles, such a big crime, I am afraid that exile is light.
"Second, it's not that you haven't thought it through, but you haven't thought about it at all, especially you!"
Jin Yantang suddenly turned around and pointed at Concubine Hua, who was kneeling on the ground and secretly pulling her handkerchief, which frightened her and her body trembled.
"Two days ago, there was a big banquet, I thought I didn't know, the imperial concubine just entered the palace and didn't say it, how much silver is wasted!"
He sighed, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and looked at Shang Kelan, who was also kneeling on the side, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, when did this Lan'er kneel down?
"Third, the two of you, just enjoy yourself, and encourage the people of the harem to join you, is this what a noble concubine should do? How do you let the rest of the people follow suit! ”
After the three crimes, Concubine Ning and Concubine Hua were already kneeling on the ground, scared silently, they hadn't seen the emperor so angry for a long time.
"You also know the holy decree just now, so I won't say more, the seats have been prepared for the two of you in the imperial study, start copying the book, Concubine Chen."
When Concubine Hua heard this, her face slowly eased, the handkerchief in her hand seemed to be rubbed to pieces, she opened her red lips, and her eyes were dyed with hatred, she originally wanted to ask the emperor, why the concubine Chen's guilt was so light, but they were so heavy!
But she raised her head slightly and glanced at the emperor's face, or closed her mouth stupidly, she deliberately dressed up today, and the items on her head were all good-looking objects that the emperor had praised before, she didn't believe that his attitude would be relaxed after a while, could he be soft on himself?
Thinking of this, Concubine Hua's face was a little better, and she obediently accepted the punishment.
But she didn't want to, Concubine Ning next to her suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard Your Majesty's teachings and deeply realized the concubine's mistakes, and the concubine begged Your Majesty to let the concubine be punished ten more times!" ”
Concubine Hua next to her almost jumped up, and copied it ten more times, is she crazy! Do you still want a hand? Her hands are so delicate that she has to soak in morning dew and fresh petals every day!
Shang Kelan was still kneeling, several thoughts flashed through her mind, and she guessed that Concubine Ning would definitely not let herself accompany her.
Sure enough, the emperor's eyes were a little surprised, and before he could ask, Concubine Ning looked earnest: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows very well that the concubine's temperament should not be like this, so she asked for an additional punishment, but this time, Sister Lan'er doesn't have to be with me." ”
The emperor's lips moved, wanting to say something, but he still nodded, the anger on his face dissipated a lot, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the Fu Gonggong to take the prepared things and let them start copying.
Shang Kelan watched from the side, her eyes were gentle, her sitting posture was decent, she didn't move for a long time, but it was Concubine Hua, who hated her even more in her eyes, she was still thinking about whether to ask for more punishment, so the emperor turned his head and didn't give her a look.
Doesn't this make her lose the advantage of flattery? Don't think she doesn't know, that Concubine Ning looks like she wants to copy more, but in fact she just wants to stay with His Majesty for a while, but she didn't think of it just now, and if she wants to copy it, she has this hand......
Concubine Hua copied and copied, and then she was done.
Shang Kelan couldn't help but remind softly: "Sister, you made a mistake." ”
"If you make a mistake, you will do it again."
The faint voice of the superior frightened Concubine Hua's hand, and a big thick ink dripped onto it, Concubine Hua's face became even more ugly, Concubine Ning next to her glanced at her lightly, and also exclaimed, and hurriedly called Father-in-law Fu to change the paper.
Shang Kelan couldn't help but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, like this, Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Ning as if she was a lot more pleasing to the eye, as if she had temporarily forgotten Concubine Ning's behavior similar to betraying her, I am afraid that her reminder at the moment looks even more hateful!
Because they knew that they had to copy it again if they made a mistake, neither of them dared to relax, and in the imperial study, there was only the sound of 'rustling' for a while.
Shang Kelan sat upright, only to feel that her neck was also a little stiff, sitting down like this, according to the speed of the two of them, it was not comfortable, sitting like pins and needles was really not just talking, and she could clearly feel the gaze of Jin Yantang behind her from time to time...... What the hell does he want to do?
