Chapter 46: Taking Control of the Harem
"The slave asks for peace to the mother." Just after passing through the alley, a father-in-law came over, followed by two little fathers-in-law, I looked at this father-in-law a little familiar, and looked at it to see that it was the father-in-law Liu who liked to eat in the worship room.
"This father-in-law has never seen this palace, how can he know that this palace is a mother?" I asked nonchalantly.
Gonggong Liu bowed his head and responded respectfully: "When the slave looks at it from a distance, he feels that the mother is radiant and noble, how can ordinary people have such a temperament." ”
I thought coldly in my heart, what an oily and smooth mouth, no wonder I can rise step by step.
"Get up." I looked at Father-in-law Liu with great interest, Father-in-law Liu cautiously raised his head just to meet my shrewd gaze, Father-in-law Liu was surprised that he didn't stand firm for a while and took a step back, and then looked at me looking at him, feeling out of shape, so he bowed his waist and didn't dare to raise his head.
Fu Feng said to Gonggong Liu on the side: "Our mother is Concubine Jin of Xianfu Palace. ”
Gonggong Liu seemed to be distracted, Fu Feng coughed lightly, and he came back to his senses and said, "It turned out to be Concubine Jin's mother." ”
"By the way, Gonggong Liu, the brand of the noble person does not have to appear in front of the emperor in the future, give the opportunity to other masters, and the father-in-law will not have to accept money from others." I said as if I had suddenly remembered.
Gonggong Liu hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the slave obeys." ”
I looked at Grandpa Liu's appearance and felt disgusted for a while, and I didn't want to say anything more, so I raised my feet and left. Father-in-law Liu, who stayed in place, wiped the sweat from his head.
The apprentice beside Gonggong Liu asked puzzledly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gonggong Liu shook his sleeves and slapped him on the head, "Shut up, this Concubine Jin is the emperor's favorite concubine, you can't see that she has the final say in the harem now." Looking at my distant back, he said to himself: "There are so many strange things this year."
Walking in the palace alley, I pointed to some familiar places in front of me and said, "Further ahead, it's the imperial dining room?" Fufeng nodded, and I sighed in my heart, it was here that the queen saved me and Fleur's lives.
Fufeng saw that my brows were tightly knit, and he didn't dare to say anything more. There is a palace in front of the towering tower, red glazed tiles, the square corners are carved are all beasts, it is the Yongshou Palace where the concubine used to live.
The door of the palace of Yongshou Palace was half open, I only stood outside the door and looked, and there was a circle of palace maids kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and there was a well-dressed and plainly dressed woman kneeling in the middle, with an angry face but did not dare to attack.
And the arrogant one standing in front of them was actually the Xi nobles, I stopped and looked at the palace, but I couldn't hear what they said again, and the Xi nobles looked at the people kneeling on the ground with contempt.
I walked over, but the Xigui didn't notice it. A palace maid hurriedly walked out of the east side hall and handed a bracelet to Xi Guiren, who glanced at it and sneered and began to whip a kneeling palace maid with a feather duster in his hand, and said in his mouth: "Damn hooves, who gave you such a big courage to dare to steal!" ”
The palace maid was in pain, and shouted in her mouth: "The slave maid did not steal the nobleman's things. The plain-clothed woman next to her couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded for her, and said, "The noble man will spare her." ”
Xi Guiren turned around and pointed at the plain-clothed woman with a feather duster and said, "It's not that you little slut instructed, the daughter of the village husband is rude!" ”
Fufeng whispered in my ear: "Such a look is really no etiquette, I heard that this Wan promised to be summoned by the emperor twice earlier, and then he was left behind, and his background was low, so this Xi noble person pulled her to train her to relieve her anger if she had something to do." ”
"Noble, the slave is at fault, and I am the master to blame, so if you want to beat me, beat me." Wan promised to say helplessly, but not humbly, but not arrogantly.
The pearl jade step on the side of Xi Guiren's sideburns swayed, and he slapped Wan Yu angrily, and said: "I hate the little mouth with sharp teeth the most, just like that cheap woman in Xianfu Palace." ”
Wan promised to protect his beaten shoulder, and his face twisted. "Stop." I stood aside and shouted, stepping on the bottom of the pot and slowly walking up to them.
Xi Guiren was stunned timidly for a moment, then half-squatted and saluted, "Why did Niangniang come over?" ”
I gently stroked the hair on my sideburns, and said nonchalantly: "If it weren't for the fact that the palace happened to pass by, how could I appreciate the sassy and heroic posture of the noble people." ”
Xi Guiren smiled awkwardly and said, "The concubine lost a valuable Hetian jade bracelet today, so it is inevitable that she is a little anxious, and the concubine ordered someone to search the Yongshou Palace, but found it from the maid who promised to do so." ”
"Since it was stolen by the maid who promised Wan, why should it be difficult for Wan to agree, she is the same concubine of the emperor as you, even if you are a little higher than her, why do you want to kneel down for you. The one in the Xianfu Palace that the nobleman said in his mouth is Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Qing or the main palace. I raised my voice and said.
The noble man lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, and the kneeling palace maid behind him sobbed and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid is the amber that Wan promised to be around, and the slave maid did not steal the nobleman's bracelet, and begged the maid to be the master." ”
Xi Guiren pointed at her, and said angrily: "If you don't admit it, see if I don't kill you!" As he spoke, he picked up a feather duster to beat it, and the palace maid shrank beside Wan Yu in fear.
"Noble Xi, why is Concubine Jin still so presumptuous here." Fufeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke.
I glanced at the palace maid who searched the palace just now, and asked, "Where did you find it, take the palace over to have a look." ”
The maid led me to the inner chamber of the double promise, and Amber lived in the warm pavilion in the inner chamber, and the maid pointed to a pear wooden box and said, "It was hidden in this box, and it was turned out by the slave maid." "When I opened the box, it was full of incense powder.
I touched the box and smelled the faint fragrance on my hands. I asked Amber, "Did you really not steal?" Amber nodded firmly. I then turned to the maid and said, "Stretch out your hand for Fufeng to smell." ”
The palace maid's puzzled hand stretched out, Fufeng sniffed it, shook her head and said, "There is no fragrance." "Everyone didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in my gourd.
I said slowly: "You said that the jade bracelet was found in the box, and the box is full of incense powder and other things, if you really found it here, why don't you have a fragrance on your hands?" ”
The palace maid shrank her hand back and stammered, "The slave may have remembered wrongly, it may be." Looking around at a clear view, I don't know what to say.
"You don't have to say it, you're lying!" Fufeng shouted, and the palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down and said: "Niangniang spare my life, I stole the thing, and when the Xi nobleman asked the slave to search the palace, the slave and maid took it out and blamed Amber." ”
I said lightly to the purple-faced Xi nobleman: "Nobleman, this slave is yours, you can watch and dispose of it yourself." ”
Wan Promise and Amber looked at me happily, and I saw Wan Promise's face clearly, delicate face, delicate and small nose, and a cherry mouth slightly blurred, standing with Xi Guiren more and more meek and polite.
Wan promised to come over and give a salute, and said, "The concubine thanked Niangniang, Niangniang is really smart." Amber kowtowed to me as well.
Amber complained there and said: "This noble man is difficult to master, it has become a common thing for his master, if there is no mother today, he will have to suffer a dumb loss." ”
Wan promised helplessly: "Xigui's position is higher than that of the concubine, and the background is also high, the concubine is just a daughter of a general judgment, and it is inevitable that she will be despised." ”
I patted her on the shoulder as if comfortingly and said, "It's useless to be tall in this palace, Qiao Changzai is an example, she was originally just a maid in this palace, and she thought you would definitely understand what I meant." ”
Wan smiled lightly and nodded.
