426 slaps
This voice is clearly like a girl's voice, but it is strangely hoarse and dull.
"There's a doctor in the labor side."
The voice spoke again, this time much clearer.
Zhong's eyes showed a look of doubt, but Concubine Jing had a calm face, obviously knowing the inside story.
At this time, I saw a figure wearing the uniform of the imperial doctor, escorted out by the palace maid.
Seeing this, Zhong was finally relieved.
At first, when they came, they only heard a palace maid say a little arrogantly, and the concubine had no time to be idle at the moment, so she asked them to wait outside.
After waiting for so long, she couldn't help but wonder if the concubine was deliberately hanging them, and it was just an excuse to be idle.
At the moment, it seems that there should be something wrong.
Could it be that the concubine is ill?
Zhong's mind is the most lively, and he thinks a lot in an instant.
Jiang Lingyi, who has been her true biography since she was a child, is naturally not far behind, and at this time she even thought of the identity of the person with that strange voice.
After waiting for a while, a palace maid finally came and summoned them in.
Thinking of meeting the concubine Ning Guifei, who was known for her temper and moodiness, Jiang Lingyi clenched her hands in her sleeves a little nervously, so her demeanor was a little stiff and rigid.
When she saluted, Concubine Ning glanced at her, and there was casual contempt in her eyes.
Although she is a person who often does things without rules, she entered the palace at the age of five, starting as a palace maid, and has seen the rules and manners of her whole life, so at this time, she only feels that Jiang Lingyi's appearance is really not on the stage.
Jiang Lingyi has always been keen, and when she noticed it, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply.
She gritted her teeth rather unwillingly.
She could have done it well, she clearly practiced at home every day, and even the grandmother who taught her often praised her, why did she make a fool of herself today because of a moment of timidity.
She tried her best to please everyone, originally wanting to seize the opportunity to make a good impression in front of Concubine Ning......
That's it, the more panicked you are, the more chaotic it becomes, and calm yourself down first, and then try to make up for it later.
At this time, Concubine Jing looked at the girl standing beside Concubine Ning, and said to the Zhong family and Jiang Lingyi in a timely manner: "This is the county lord of Yanzhen. β
Zhong and Jiang Lingyi hurriedly saluted him.
In the meantime, Jiang Lingyi subconsciously glanced at the power fence on Yan Zhen's head.
Before, the capital was secretly rumored that the appearance of the real county lord was destroyed, but this time it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
Jiang Lingyi felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
The former proud daughter of the sky was the princess who dared not to take it seriously, but now she not only ruined her appearance, but also was demoted to the county lord because of Ning Tong's matter.
She thought in her heart like this, and her face did not show anything, but she still made a respectful appearance.
But as soon as she straightened up and raised her head, she saw Yan Zhen walking in front of her.
Jiang Lingyi was a little puzzled, and showed a smile that she knew the rules, but as soon as this smile was revealed, she suddenly saw Yan Zhen raise her hand towards her-
"Smack!"
Jiang Lingyi didn't wait for a reaction, and received a heavy slap on the left cheek.
She couldn't help but exclaim, surprised and terrified.
"County Lord......"
Zhong and Concubine Jing hurriedly held her up.
Zhong's face turned pale, and he asked as calmly as possible: "I don't know what the little girl did wrong, the county lord just pointed it out, and the courtiers should let her compensate the county lordβ"
Under the fence, Yan Zhen's eyes were cold.
She looked at Zhong, with a somewhat perfunctory abruptness in her tone, and said, "It turns out that this is your daughter." β
Zhong Shiqiang smiled to himself: "Exactly." β
"Look at her staring at me vigorously, I just think of it as an ignorant maid - since she is a girl from the Jiang family, I am reckless and abrupt."
Jiang Lingyi lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
It was only then that she had clearly declared her identity.
Where can ordinary maids follow into Changchun Palace?
Besides, she only glanced at it, how could she keep staring...... Just because of this glance, he was ridiculed as a vulgar person who didn't understand the rules and was no different from a maid.
Yan Zhen obviously deliberately made her ugly, and she didn't even bother to find a decent excuse, and gave this kind of flawed statement.
But the more this is the case, the more undisguised contempt is revealed, and the more embarrassing it is.
Looking at Concubine Ning again, she only sat there and tasted tea, without raising her eyelids, with a conniving attitude.
It is said that Ning Guifei protects her shortcomings and does not pay attention to the rules of etiquette, but today she finally saw it.
Concubine Jing had no choice but to say: "The niece of the concubine rarely enters the palace, and she somewhat ignores the rules, so please forgive the county lord and the concubine." β
Zhong also smiled and said: "Yes, the county lord is angry, and the little girl is stupid, but she has no intention of offending......"
As he spoke, he looked at his daughter and said, "Why don't you ask the county lord for guilt?" β
Jiang Lingyi responded with a "yes", stepped forward, bowed shortly, and said earnestly: "It's the courtier's misbehavior, please punish the county lord." β
The words of the explanation must not be said more, Yan Zhen's perverse temper, she can't figure it out for the time being, but she is afraid that she doesn't know which sentence will displease the other party again.
Yan Zhen raised his chin slightly, and said, "There is no need to punish - just learn more rules, but there is nothing wrong with it." β
Jiang Lingyi reluctantly smiled and said: "Thank you for the county lord's kind words, the courtiers must remember it." β
She has always known when she can be willful, and when she can't be willful.
It's nothing to endure for a while, and let's look back.
And the reason why Yan Zhen embarrassed her so much was that she felt that her appearance was ruined, and others felt humiliated when they looked at it more-
Seeing that she was born beautiful, Xu even felt that she had been poked in the sore spot.
How pitiful and inferior.
Besides, stupid people who can't even control their emotions are afraid that they won't be planted in the future?
Jiang Lingyi comforted herself in her heart, and her face gradually calmed down, but the hot pain on her face reminded her from time to time how she was humiliated.
She had to keep this in mind.
At this time, Yan Zhen said to Ning Guifei: "Auntie, Yan Zhen is tired, so he won't disturb Aunt to speak. β
Ning Guifei nodded and said, "Let's go to the Ear Hall to rest." β
"Yes." Yan Zhen saluted and withdrew.
But she didn't go to the ear hall, but went out of the Changchun Palace alone.
After leaving Changchun Palace, her originally calm steps suddenly became much faster.
She clenched her hands tightly, pursed her lips, and walked all the way, as if she had countless emotions to vent.
After so many years of healing, he still can't heal her face...... The imperial doctors in the palace are all quacks!
These people, all of them deserve to die!
But in front of her aunt, she couldn't reveal the anger in her heartβafter several years, seeing that the cure was fruitless, even my aunt had begun to show a faint impatience.
Hehe, this is the aunt who keeps saying and regards her as her own.
Yan Zhen was full of resentment, and walked all the way ignoring the side eyes of the palace people, and at some point, he came to the imperial garden.
She was so tired from walking that she gasped for breath.
It was at this moment that the sound of footsteps suddenly caught in my ears.
Soon, the sound of the palace people saluting also came.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear the words "His Royal Highness the Prince"-
