Chapter 40: Xu Qingyan and Twenty Rods

"The queen mother, the courtiers entered the palace just to accompany their sister, and they have no other meaning, begging the queen to be gracious, the courtiers don't want to leave their sister." He Shiyao raised her head and said confidently.

Xu Qingyan frowned slightly, He Shiyao had something to say, and the implication was that she, the queen, was worried that He Shiyao would attract His Majesty's attention if she stayed in the palace, so she hypocritically persuaded her to leave the palace.

"Miss He, do you really want to stay in the palace to accompany your sister Concubine He?" Xu Qingyan's eyebrows raised slightly.

He Shiyao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Qingyan: "Father said that my sister is lonely in the palace, so let the courtier, who is a sister, accompany her sister well, and the courtier doesn't want to be an unfilial person." ”

Xu Qingyan sneered in her heart, looking at her glorious appearance, she said that she didn't want to be an unfilial person, what idea did she fight when others didn't know? This Miss He is really cheeky.

"Your Majesty, since she is filial, let's fulfill her." Xu Qingyan looked at Law Zexiu.

"Yan Yan ......" Of course, Lu Zexiu was unwilling to let He Shiyao stay in the palace, such a woman staying in the palace would only cause trouble to Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan smiled, pulled the corners of his clothes, and said softly: "Brother Xiu, Prime Minister He Cheng is an important minister in the court, if he is not satisfied with this little thing, it will inevitably cause resentment." ”

He Shiyao lowered her head, and the corners of her lips quietly raised an arc, she was the daughter of the prime minister, and she knew that Xu Qingyan, the princess who was in harmony, would definitely be afraid.

Xu Qingyan persuaded the law to repair a few words, and the law rule repaired before agreeing, "Since the queen pleaded, I will not drive you out of the palace, but you disturb the holy driver and disrespect the queen, you should be punished." ”

After speaking, the law was repaired and the prince of Chaoxi gave him a look, "Come on, pull He Shiyao down, and punish him with twenty rods as a punishment." Tell the six palaces, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and this wind cannot be opened. ”

In an instant, He Shiyao's face turned pale, and she was scolded for twenty years, and she had to tell the Sixth Palace about it, what had become of her? was beaten, and it was used as a negative example to warn others?

"Your Majesty......"

Before he finished begging for mercy, he was interrupted by Law Zexiu: "He Shiyao, for the sake of Prime Minister He, I will treat you lightly, if you still dare to gain an inch, I would like to ask Prime Minister He, where is the Heavenly Family?" ”

He Shiyao immediately had nothing to say. It is good that Prime Minister He is an important minister in the court, but in the final analysis, he is only a courtier of the emperor, and it is natural for a courtier to offend the majesty of the heavenly family and be punished.

"Queen Mother, please save the courtiers." He Shiyao once again set her eyes on Xu Qingyan for help.

Xu Qingyan's expression was light, "Miss He, it's only three things, this palace has already interceded for you twice." ”

She can see that this He Shiyao is simply a selfish and cheeky person.

Soon, a guard stepped forward and pulled He Shiyao down, and scolded him with a cane for twenty ......

Xu Qingyan was not interested in He Shiyao's beating at all, but Xia Chan looked at her mother-in-law, she really wanted to see it, Xu Qingyan nodded at her slightly, signaling her to go if she wanted to.

Xia Chan besieged the whole process of He Shiyao's beating, and I have to say that the guards in the palace have a set of boards, His Majesty said it, but only punished He Shiyao, and did not say that she would be killed, so the position where the board fell was not in the fatal place. After twenty boards, He Shiyao's lower body was already drenched in blood, she was sweating profusely in pain, and her mouth kept snorting. exhaled pain, which also showed in disguise that she had no worries about her name.

When the board was finished, Concubine He Guifei walked over holding the hand of the palace maid.

"Slave and maid, see the concubine Niangniang." Xia Chan saluted Concubine He very respectfully.

He Guifei nodded and motioned for her to be flat.

"Peiwen, help Miss Eight up." He Guifei's gaze fell on He Shiyao, who was covered in blood, and in her memory, He Shiyao had never been so embarrassed.

Seeing He Shiyao like this, He Guifei didn't know how happy she was. This concubine has been restless since she was a child, and always wants to cross her, but a concubine is a concubine, and even if she pleases her father again, she is still just a concubine.

Pei Wen reached out to help He Shiyao, but He Shiyao moved slightly, and she screamed.

"Concubine Niangniang, Miss He is afraid that she can't sit or stand for the time being, so it's best to carry it." Xia Chan reminded that she was really a kind reminder, because He Shiyao's screams were too harsh.

He Shiyao glared at Xia Cicada fiercely, "I want you to talk more!" , you gloat! ”

This maidservant, she recognized, was the maid of the queen's mother, and she watched her take the board the whole time, obviously to see her jokes.

At this moment, He Shiyao was almost numb in pain, she credited this blood debt to Xu Qingyan's head, it was all caused by her, He Shiyao secretly made up her mind in her heart, if it was in the future, she would be the last, the first thing she would do was to ask Xu Qingyan, and Xia Chan, a cheap maid, to open her skin.

"Miss He, although the slave maid is just a subordinate, she is also the palace person of the queen's mother, and Miss He can't be insulted." Xia Cicada raised his voice and said.

"Cheap ......"

Concubine He raised her hand and gave He Shiyao a slap, "Shut up in this palace, He Shiyao, you are the young lady of the He family, where have you learned your etiquette and upbringing!" ”

He Shiyao's cheeks immediately swollen, tears gushed down, and she covered her face and couldn't speak.

This slap hurt He Shiyao, and also scared Xia Chan a lot, and he was stunned for a moment. Concubine He has always been dignified and virtuous, and she never thought that such a well-behaved person would slap her, which was quite scary.

"Miss Xia Chan, please tell the queen that the palace has no way to discipline her, and you will come to the palace to make amends." He Guifei spoke very politely.

One moment it was as fierce as a wolf, and the next moment it was back to its former dignified and graceful nature, for a while, Xia Cicada's heart was beating so fast, this concubine really didn't seem to be simple.

"If the concubine has no other instructions, then the slave will retire." Xia Chan saluted, and after getting He Guifei's consent, she hurriedly walked away......

After Xia Chan left, He Guifei turned around, glanced at He Shiyao, and ordered with a cold face: "You two carry her and go back to Huaqing Palace." ”

The two palace maids carried He Shiyao back to Huaqing Palace, one left and one right, although He Shiyao was carried by others, and did not touch the wounds on her lower body, but she was still uncomfortable when she was walked, and she began to wail without taking two steps. He Guifei was annoyed by hearing this, and directly glanced at her coldly, "If you want everyone in the harem to see your ghostly appearance, you can call it." ”

Immediately, He Shiyao didn't dare to scream, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it, whether she was making a whining sound.

After returning to Huaqing Palace, He Shiyao spoke with confidence, "Sister, you are a noble concubine, why are you even afraid of a cheap maid beside the queen!" ”

Looking at her resentful eyes, He Guifei sneered: "Afraid? ”

"He Shiyao, this palace has seen that you have a long face over the years, and you don't have a long brain. Even if Xia Chan is a maidservant, she is also the queen's maidservant, and she is also the maidservant brought by the queen from Dayue, and she has been awarded the position of a female official. You insulted her first, and you still want this palace to stand up for you? If this palace doesn't stand up for you, you say that this palace is worried? ”

"You are stupid like this, this palace advises you to leave the palace." He Guifei had a sneer on her face.

He Shiyao's face was very ugly, this was the third person who asked her to leave the palace, the first was the emperor, and the second was the queen.

She doesn't want to leave the palace, if she leaves the palace, how can she enter the palace as a concubine? How to get ahead?

"Sister, I was wrong, I had a lot of pain in my body, so I didn't choose what to say, sister, don't worry about Yao'er." He Shiyao hurriedly softened to Concubine He.

He Guifei had a cold face and didn't say a word.

"Sister, I just can't be angry, I went to kneel at the palace gate, but His Majesty wants to drive me out of the palace. The queen was hypocritical, pretending to intercede for me, and I was beaten by the board. He Shiyao was aggrieved, "Sister, I did everything you told me to do, but I was beaten ...... board."

She didn't know what was wrong and why His Majesty was angry. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, why was Your Majesty angry? She obviously did what her sister ordered, why did she still get hit in the end?

He Guifei's eyes lowered slightly, and she said lightly: "It's a good thing that you have been beaten by the board, you have annoyed Your Majesty, Your Majesty is holding back anger in your heart, if you don't let Your Majesty vent it, sooner or later you will be punished by Your Majesty, and the tone will be left for the future, it is better to solve the matter completely today." ”

"Is that really the case?" He Shiyao looked confused, so what is the value of her meal?

"Otherwise, why do you think this palace wants you to kneel at the gate of Zhengyang Palace." He Guifei's tone was still as flat as water, "You take care of your injuries, if you see the queen during this time, just pull aside, don't contradict the queen again, the future will be long, and the palace will plan well for you." ”

"The coming day will be long......" He Shiyao chewed on this sentence in her mouth.

"That's right, the coming day is long, you can't be anxious, let alone make your own decisions." Concubine He once again emphasized, "Originally, this time the palace planned well, so that you could make a good impression in front of Your Majesty, but you made your own opinion, and the result backfired. This board is a lesson for you. ”

He Shiyao lowered her head, secretly regretting in her heart, she knew that she should have listened to He Guifei and not seduce His Majesty.

"Sister, Yao'er knows that she is wrong, and Yao'er will listen to her sister in the future."

Seeing He Shiyao's pleasing appearance, He Guifei nodded slightly, and immediately ordered the palace people to call the imperial doctor to treat He Shiyao's injuries.

And at this time, Zhengyang Palace

Law Zexiu went to the imperial study to deal with official business, and Xia Chan told Xu Qingyan about He Guifei slapping He Shiyao, of course, including the words that He Guifei asked her to tell Xu Qingyan.

"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that this concubine is not simple, you have to watch out for her in the future." Xia Chan's brows furrowed slightly.
