Chapter 65: King Zhao is a long-tongued woman
,
"It's all the concubine's fault, the emperor didn't sleep well last night, so I got up late today, and I ask the queen not to blame."
Concubine Ye De's voice was very soft, but it fell into everyone's ears without any difference, and the concubines all changed their faces. This clearly means that she is favored, and the emperor stayed in her room last night.
Xie Qing obviously saw that Concubine Xie Shu's cheeks were tight, and she was holding her breath in her heart. Xie Qing whispered in Concubine Xie Shu's ear: "Niangniang, now is not the time to be angry. ”
After Xie Qing's reminder, Concubine Xie Shufei tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, raised her lips and smiled: "Concubine De, the queen mother is here, you should pay attention to proportions when you speak." ”
"Sister Shufei, what are you talking about, but what did the concubine say wrong?" Concubine Ye Defei looked innocent.
Concubine Xie Shu, who was watching, couldn't wait to tear off her face, but she was still calm on the surface, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, we are concubines, we must serve Your Majesty well, and you can't let Your Majesty be tired, and Concubine De, if you don't serve Your Majesty well, Your Majesty will not sleep well, and even get up late in the morning. ”
"Concubine De, you are guilty!" Empress Chen reprimanded sharply. She is the queen of the main palace, but Concubine De said in front of the queen of the main palace that she hinted at how she was favored, as a queen, she should be generous, and she could not reprimand Concubine De in the name of holy favor.
The queen was born in Jiangmen, and it is the main palace, her majesty should not be underestimated, Concubine Ye De hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The concubine doesn't dare, ask the mother to see, the concubine doesn't, the concubine has always served His Majesty wholeheartedly, and she doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest, Niangniang." ”
Concubine Ye Defei is really a delicate person, the queen just reprimanded her slightly, and her eyes immediately filled with pearls, like pear blossoms with rain, which is pitiful.
Concubine Xie Shu stepped forward to help Concubine Ye De, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine De, what are you doing, the queen mother just said a word, you knelt down on the ground, and the pear blossoms were still crying with rain, the queen mother has always been generous, don't you embarrass the queen mother." Today is another good day for Concubine Liu, and you are not afraid of ruining the atmosphere. ”
In this comparison, it is immediately clear which is higher and which is lower. Concubine Xie Shu is dignified and magnificent, while Concubine Ye De is a small family, crying at every turn, kneeling at every turn, and she looks like this in front of the emperor on weekdays, which makes people sick.
It was originally a battle of tongues in the harem, and Queen Chen didn't expect to beat Concubine Ye De or punish her for this, but Concubine Ye De's behavior was really annoying to watch.
Empress Chen waved her hand, "Concubine De, you learn more from Concubine Shu, as one of the four concubines, you should know which is more important." ”
"The concubine knows her mistakes, and Queen Xie teaches." Concubine Ye Defei's voice was still gentle, as if her ugliness had never happened at all. However, Xie Qing saw her hand tightly squeezing the corner of her clothes and smiled secretly.
It's really a tolerable one. is also if the Ye family can't bear it, how can they go from a lowly show girl to such a high position as Concubine De.
Concubine Ye De bowed to Concubine Xie Shu again: "Please also ask Sister Shufei for more advice." ”
Although he couldn't hear the language, Xie Qing could think about how these words popped out of his teeth.
I'm afraid that Concubine Ye Defei hates the most is Concubine Xie Shu, she was put on a show today, isn't it because of Concubine Xie Shufei's few words.
Concubine Xie smiled and said: "Sister Concubine De is polite, they are all sisters in the harem, what do you say to advise or not." But Sister Concubine De, it's not that my sister said you, you really have to discipline your niece well. ”
"Concubine Shu, the matter of the Treasure Pavilion has been properly handled, the concubine knows that this matter is Zhen Zhen's nonsense, but the silver has also been lost, and the apology has arrived, why do you hold on to it, Sister Shufei, and insult the concubine in front of so many sisters in the harem." Concubine Ye Defei said with tears rippling again, feeling as if Concubine Xie Shu had bullied her.
This slut! Concubine Xie Shu scolded in her heart.
"Sister Shufei, these little girls are still young, and it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate things in what they say and do, even Sister Shufei's niece and nephew have made trouble, and it is still at Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet." When Concubine Ye Defei cried, she didn't forget to say a few words to Concubine Xie Shu, didn't your niece also give birth to a moth, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.
"You ......" Concubine Xie Shu's face turned blue angrily.
"Niangniang, Qing'er." Xie Qing grabbed Concubine Xie Shu and nodded at her.
"The courtier Xie Qing has seen all the maidens." Xie Qing first gave the concubines a standard palace ceremony, and he was generous, without any nervousness or flattery.
"Concubine De, just now you talked about the matter between the sisters in the courtier's family, the courtiers were afraid, this is all the stumbling and hoping of the sisters in the family, I don't know how Concubine De Niangniang knew about it in the deep palace." Xie Qing looked at Concubine Ye De, her eyes were clear and aura, as if the filth of all things in the world was invisible in her eyes.
"You're Xie Qing?" The first thing Concubine Ye paid attention to was her name, Xie Qing, isn't it the woman who cheated Ye Zhenzhen.
"It's Xie Qing, what? Niang Niang knows the courtier? That's really the honor of the courtier. Xie Qing smiled faintly.
Everyone stood aside to watch the show, who Xie Qing was, they all knew that this little girl's harmful Ye family was bleeding profusely, and the matter of Concubine Ye De's lowly background was also turned over again. Xie Qing faced Concubine Ye De, and wondered if Concubine Ye Defei would vomit blood like her stupid niece.
In fact, Xie Qing's decent smile, coupled with the words of implicit sarcasm, had already made Concubine Ye De's stomach ache, but she couldn't help it.
"Miss Xie's name, how can this palace not know it, at Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet, the dispute between the fifth miss of the Xie family and the fourth miss of the Xie family is very exciting." Concubine De said with a smile, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Xie Qingwan smiled and said, "Oh? Who did Concubine De listen to? The courtiers know, it's King Zhao, the courtiers remember, King Zhao was also watching the ceremony that day. ”
"Yes and what? Could it be that King Zhao said something wrong? Or did Hongu say it wrong? Concubine Ye De's smile was slightly cold, and she no longer looked like Fang Cai's delicate and pitiful appearance.
Xie Qing chuckled: "How did King Zhao say to Concubine De, the courtiers don't know, but King Zhao is really careful, and he didn't forget to bring these girls' fights into the palace to relieve Concubine De's boredom, King Zhao is really considerate." ”
Concubine Xie Shufei covered her mouth and smiled: "No, Yi'er is not so careful, she never tells the palace what happened to the girl, alas, it is still Concubine De's sister who gave birth to a good son." ”
For a while, all the concubines couldn't help laughing, and praised Concubine De's good fortune and gave birth to a good son, King Zhao.
King Zhao is a man, still a prince, he eats and supports himself every day, so he observes the fights of some girls' families, and he is like a long-tongued woman, telling this matter to Concubine De.
Concubine Ye De's face finally turned blue with anger, this time she couldn't even shed tears, tears were grievances and sadness, this time she was only angry and angry.
Pointing at Xie Qing's nose, he was almost speechless with anger: "You, you dare to insult King Zhao, you are so bold." ”
Xie Qing took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground: "The courtiers are afraid, the queen mother, the courtiers will never dare to insult King Zhao." He looked at Concubine Xie pitifully, "Concubine Shuniang, you know Qing'er, Qing'er is timid, but she never dares to do this." ”
Isn't this aggrieved little appearance just learning and using it now, it is exactly what Concubine Ye Defei is doing.
Concubine Ye De is a person who is nearly forty years old, even if she is well maintained, her skin is a little loose after all, and it is a bit disobedient to make such a grievance with pear blossoms and rain, and she pretends to be weak when she is old, and she sheds tears at every turn, which is really contrived in the eyes of the harem women.
But Xie Qing is different, she is still a little girl, the little girl was wronged, tears were in her eyes, everyone just felt that it was a normal thing, a beautiful and lovely little girl cried, especially the concubines who were mothers, and some people even thought of their children, and the high-ranking concubines couldn't help but come forward to persuade, "Concubine De, Miss Xie is young, and she didn't say anything, don't scare her, look at the scared people cry." ”
Of course, there is no lack of sarcasm in this speech. Everyone knows that Concubine Xie and Concubine Ye De are not in harmony, and it just so happened that Concubine Xie Shufei's niece embarrassed Concubine Ye De, and they happened to step on the play, so that Concubine De couldn't say anything.
Concubine Xie Shu's heart blossomed, but there was no reaction on the surface, and she only lowered her head and tasted tea. She is Xie Qing's aunt, if she accuses Concubine Ye De, she will inevitably be suspected of shielding her niece. And she is also looking forward to Xie Qing's next performance, she can see that this Xie Qing is articulate, and she can make Concubine Ye Defei unable to get off the stage in just a few words.
Concubine Ye De was not lightly angry, and pointed at Xie Qing and scolded: "Xie Qing, what are you crying for!" This is the palace, do you still have some rules! ”
Everyone scoffed, just who wiped their tears at every turn, and said that they had the face to talk about others.
Xie Qing immediately held back her tears, God knows that she Xie Qing has never liked to shed tears, no matter how painful it is, she will endure those few tears, or she twisted her thighs ruthlessly before they fell.
"The courtiers know their mistakes, it turns out that you can't shed tears casually in the palace, the courtiers don't know, and please don't blame the queen." Xie Qing saluted Empress Chen.
Empress Chen has no son under her knees, only a princess, and when she sees Xie Qing now, she intuitively feels that this girl is eccentric, but it is a little interesting, and she waved her hand with a smile: "There is no such rule in the palace, you are not wrong." ”
Empress Chen's words undoubtedly slapped Concubine Ye De in the face.
"Niangniang, the concubine just thinks that this girl actually insulted King Zhao, and the concubine feels sorry for King Zhao, so she ......" Concubine Ye De hurriedly explained.
"Concubine De, if you feel sorry for King Zhao, you shouldn't smear your son everywhere." Empress Chen said angrily that Concubine Ye De's behavior did not have the slightest atmosphere of a concubine, but she was like the concubines in those mansions, who were happy and angry. Empress Chen was quickly relieved again, no matter how high Concubine Ye De's position was, she was originally a concubine.
"The queen mother, the concubines don't. What happened at Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet is already well known, didn't King Yi tell anyone about it! "Concubine Ye De is very aggrieved, she obviously didn't say anything, how could she say that after Xie Qing's statement, she became King Zhao is a long-tongued woman.
Concubine Xie Shu's face changed slightly, you are a concubine, you dare to speak ill of my emperor!
