Chapter 120: The queen mother who doesn't want to "waste wood" anymore
The ancients often had the theory of being killed with a cane, and there were also many palace maids and eunuchs who were killed in the harem of the Li Dynasty.
Xiangqiao has been waiting by Lin Zhimeng's side since she was a child, except that she is used to being a little unscrupulous, but there is nothing wrong with it. However, Miss Yan's eldest maid is even more squeamish than some concubines in the family's mansion, and if she goes down with only twenty boards, Xiangqiao will fall into a coma directly.
The sound of the blow made people's hearts tremble, and fear was like a black hand, firmly holding everyone's hearts.
Lin Zhimeng's tears were uncontrollable, and large teardrops slipped down her cheeks like pearls.
The beauty is bright, and the beauty who cries with pear blossoms and rain is even more beautiful, but her eyes are gradually filled with anger. But because it was her maid who was to blame, Lin Zhimeng's status was not as good as that of the queen, so even if she was angry, she couldn't stop this board.
Until Xiangqiao fell into a coma, Lin Zhimeng couldn't help but pounce on Xiangqiao anymore to protect Xiangqiao: "Queen Mother, if you want to fight, beat the concubine!" It's all the concubine's fault, and the concubine didn't teach them the rules well. ”
Because Lin Zhimeng stepped forward, the eunuch who played the incense board naturally stopped. The eunuchs in the harem who "did physical strength" were taller, but even so, Lin Zhimeng's sudden movements made him almost flash his waist because he was too strong.
He didn't dare to blame Concubine Lin, so he could only stop and look at Queen Yi Xiangxiang with his body bowed, waiting for her orders.
Lin Zhimeng's actions made people sigh at the deep affection of master and servant, but because Yi Xiangxiang's residual power just now was still there, many people did not dare to express admiration or even sympathy.
And the garden at this moment, in addition to the slapping and the screams of the concubine, it is Lin Zhimeng's crying. So Yi Xiangxiang stopped the two palace maids and looked at Lin Zhimeng with eyes as deep as the sea.
She gently stroked the purple jade bracelet on her wrist with one hand, the jade color of the bracelet was so pleasing to the eye that there was no trace of impurities, and the head of the water was also very full.
Everyone thought that she was thinking about whether to accept Lin Guifei's plea.
Even Lin Zhimeng herself thinks so.
Lin Zhimeng continued to Yi Xiangxiang: "Queen Mother, it is certainly wrong for Concubine De to take the liberty of punishing Brother Ling and Sister Ling, but if it wasn't for the two young ladies who pushed Concubine De first, she wouldn't dare to do it if you borrowed ten guts from her!" Now that they have been punished, spare them! ”
Her words seemed very real.
It's a pity that Yi Xiangxiang doesn't think so, in her opinion, it is Lin Zhimeng who pleaded for her maid not only to intercede, but also to fish out the concubine. She really doesn't think that Lin Zhimeng is gentle and loving now, she just thinks that this woman wants to take advantage of her good reputation.
Yi Xiangxiang, who must be compared, not only doesn't want to let go of Concubine De and Xiangqiao easily, but also doesn't plan to save any face for Lin Zhimeng.
So everyone heard the always peaceful queen sneering again: "Lin Guifei really wants to replace it?" ”
Be quiet.
The silence of the pin drop can be heard.
When everyone thought that the queen would come down this step, the sentence she asked made everyone dare not come out.
Could it be that the queen really wants to fight with the concubine?
If it was before today, no one thought that Yi Xiangxiang had such courage. But the eunuchs and palace maids who witnessed her fierce and crazy fan of the concubine just now immediately affirmed their guess when they thought of this possibility.
Lin felt that the matter could be stopped at this point, after all, she knew that although her daughter was the queen, it would not be a good thing if she was paired with the concubine.
The steps in the deep palace are hard, and the Lin family doesn't want her daughter to make too many enemies.
"Queen Mother, this ......" Lin wanted her daughter to stop here, but she didn't think that she was interrupted by Yi Xiangxiang before she finished speaking.
Yi Xiangxiang raised her hand to stop her mother: "Mother doesn't need to say much, although everyone thinks that this palace is to punish their younger brothers and sisters because they are angry." But this palace is not only your daughter, but also the lord of the six palaces, so you must discipline them well, so that they have learned the rules enough! ”
Everyone was very embarrassed when they heard this, and they were slandered in their hearts, you just slapped others as soon as you came up, and now you dare to say that it is not a short-term protection?
Please, who believes!
Yi Xiangxiang didn't care if anyone believed it or not, but she did enough superficial work.
Isn't it just high-sounding, who wouldn't! She was also slandering in her heart.
Yi Xiangxiang thought to herself, if she said something beautiful, she didn't think that her ability to pretend would be worse than Lin Zhimeng.
After interrupting Lin's words, she still stroked the bracelet in her hand, but her eyes gradually became cold.
"Concubine Lin, what about this palace's question, do you really want to replace it?"
"Seriously...... Really want to replace! Lin Zhimeng was also surprised by Yi Xiangxiang's questioning, and she now regrets that she died and didn't stop Lin Zhixin at that time, which made Yi Xiangxiang so angry now.
In addition to surprise, there was also fear on her face, if Yi Xiangxiang really beat her together, it was really impossible not to be afraid at all.
Of course, Lin Zhimeng's fear did not move Yi Xiangxiang in any way, and her series of pleas just now also increased Yi Xiangxiang's disgust.
Also, when the two children were pressed in the snow, Lin Zhimeng could watch it; And now the maid who protects herself, although she has her true feelings, she can't guarantee that she doesn't have the idea of a good name for herself.
Case......
"Hit!" Yi Xiangxiang smiled evilly and spit out the word.
Seeing this, the Lin family still wanted to stop it, after all, beating a concubine and beating a concubine are really two different things.
It's a pity that the "rebellious and uninhibited" Yi Xiangxiang didn't listen to Lin's words.
Are you kidding! The fact that she entered the harem and didn't take care of her brothers and sisters has already made her very angry, if she even gets angry and has to be threatened by Lin Zhimeng with her own body, then she will really live two lives in vain!
It's a big deal!
Yi Xiangxiang really didn't believe it, if Zhao Ziqian dared to really make it difficult for the Yi family because of today's events, she would use the Wuda business name to collapse the economy of the Li Dynasty, and take the treasures of the former dynasty buried in Tongzhou to the Ye Dynasty!
Now that Ye Chao is about to go to war with Sanssouci Island, Yesheng will need her money very much.
Although the situation will be a little difficult, if it is really time for life and death, she is not completely helpless!
So, under Yi Xiangxiang's "typing", the board fell on Lin Zhimeng.
The eunuch in charge of playing the board was originally a little scared, but he was a little resentful when he thought that he had almost flashed his waist just now. Even though he didn't increase his efforts, he definitely didn't let the board down.
The people around were dumbfounded, and could only lower their heads.
Yi Xiangxiang is very satisfied with this situation, rights are really a very useful thing, no wonder everyone is rushing to it.
She beckoned Xiao Dan to hold Yi Lele in her arms, sat on her lap around her brother, gently stroked the red marks on his face with her bare hands and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Yi Lele shook his head, but his little hand tightly wrapped around Yi Xiangxiang's waist.
In fact, he was scared, and at the moment he was pressed in the snow, he was about to cry at one point.
Yi Lele's action of pulling Yi Xiangxiang's clothes made the latter very distressed, and the fire in his heart gradually rose again. And when she was about to give an order to "fight to death", Jiang Hai's sentence "The saint has arrived" interrupted her.
Everyone stopped moving, knelt down and saluted Zhao Ziqian.
Needless to say, the people of Chongren Palace, who were already kneeling, were originally kneeling, and they only needed to move in another direction. On Yi Xiangxiang's side, she had to put Yi Lele down first, then get up and stand firm and tidy up her clothes, and then bring her mother, younger brothers and sisters, as well as everyone from Changchun Palace to Zhao Ziqian.
In fact, Yi Xiangxiang didn't salute Zhao Ziqian much in Changchun Palace in the past, she is a modern soul, and she really doesn't like to bow three times and knock nine times. And Zhao Ziqian seems to acquiesce to her actions, because she doesn't visit most of the time. But with so many outsiders present today, Yi Xiangxiang naturally judged the situation and gave Zhao Ziqian face, so he saluted.
As soon as Zhao Ziqian finished speaking, Concubine De rushed over for help.
"Save the concubine, save the concubine! Concubines are to be ...... I'm going to be beaten to death by the queen! De Concubine screamed at the top of her voice.
Her face has been swollen by the beating, and if she continues to beat it, she will probably break her face.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ziqian asked with a frown.
When he asked this, his eyes were looking at Yi Xiangxiang, obviously asking about the latter. But Concubine De didn't care who he asked, and she was ready to speak in a hurry.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't give her a chance, but stepped forward to hold Zhao Ziqian and invited someone to sit down: "Holy Lord, sit down first!" ”
Zhao Ziqian was so happy that he almost laughed out loud, on weekdays, Yi Xiangxiang didn't fight with him, just forget it, where is there such a time to bow down. Immediately, she naturally didn't care what Concubine De wanted to say, but was held by Yi Xiangxiang and sat on the chair she had just made with her flattered inner drama.
To tell the truth, when Yi Xiangxiang's arm was pulled away, he really felt a little lost!
After Yi Xiangxiang led Zhao Ziqian to sit down, she asked someone to bring another chair. She picked up Yi Lele again and sat down, and then said to Zhao Ziqian casually: "A few people who don't have long eyes are ignorant, teach the concubines a lesson, and disturb the saint." ”
She said this without being humble or silent, and did not explain why she wanted to teach others, but put the queen's authority on the ground.
When Concubine De heard this, she hurriedly interjected, and she stumbled and said, "No, no, no!" Holy! You listen to the concubine, yes...... It was the ninth young lady and the tenth young master of the Yi family who overthrew the concubines first, and the concubines punished them for the queen. But after the queen mother came to the imperial garden, she let people beat the concubines without saying a word! That's it...... She also ...... also beat Lin Guifei Niangniang! ”
Swollen with a round and chubby peach face, it was the concubine who spoke not only slowly, but also accompanied by sobbing.
And Zhao Ziqian followed her gesture and looked over, and saw Lin Zhimeng lying on a person dressed as a palace maid, looking at him with pear blossoms and rain.
Xiao Dan was the only person in Changchun Palace who had experienced the whole thing, and she was about to refute after hearing Concubine De's words, but was preempted by Yi Huanhuan, who was standing in front of the Lin family:
"What a shame! Obviously, you spoke ill of my sister first, and my tenth brother and I pushed you! Then you beat me and my brother and put them in the snow...... My brother was so scared of you that he is still shaking! ”
As soon as her voice fell, Yi Lele, who was held in Yi Xiangxiang's arms, hurriedly trembled. The others didn't notice anything unusual, but Yi Xiangxiang, who had the strongest senses, almost laughed.
Of course, from other people's perspectives, it was Yi Lele who was trembling in fear and hugged their queen mother, eager to bury the whole person in the latter's arms.
Yi Huanhuan's words made Concubine De once again pull her swollen face and broken mouth to justify: "It was the concubine's impulse that offended the two noble young masters, but what did Concubine Lin do wrong, why did the queen punish her?" ”
didn't mention what bad things he said, he just took the matter to Lin Zhimeng and beat it, and Concubine De was a little smarter when she was beaten.
Yi Xiangxiang never took this kind of word game in her eyes, she shouted: "This palace is just fighting? What do you think? ”
Concubine De almost cried with joy when she heard this, she was also worried that Yi Xiangxiang would find something to refute herself, and she was thinking about countermeasures, not wanting the other party to shout directly.
So Concubine De pretended to be annoyed and said to Zhao Ziqian: "Holy ...... You see the queen is simply ...... It's unreasonable. ”
Xiao Dan is used to being steady, but she can't bear it anymore at this time, she said sharply:
"Who the hell is unreasonable? Concubine De Niangniang was really ridiculous, and she didn't mention what she said at all, so she vigorously pulled the queen's punishment for the crime. Why don't you say that you slandered the queen mother behind your back, saying that she has no talent, no virtue and is not worthy, and what do you say that you must have used three indiscriminate means to force the canonization of the saint? Miss Jiu and Tenth of the Yi Family just pushed you to the ground for their sister, and you each gave them a slap in the face, and pressed people in the snow! So vicious, but not a word? ”
Lin Guifei's personal palace maid was disrespectful, and the queen punished her. But Concubine Lin was eager to protect her servants, and completely ignored the palace rules to provoke the queen's authority! If today's queen mother really put incense because of the protection of the concubine, and all palaces will learn from each other in the future, wouldn't everyone be able to take advantage of the master's majesty to do nonsense? ”
Concubine De was stunned by Xiao Dan's words, and after reacting, she hurriedly said: "Okay, Concubine Lin's palace maid can't contradict the queen's mother, but the queen's palace maid is speechless!" ”
She consciously grabbed Yi Xiangxiang's handle again.
"If a slave or maid speaks, he will confess his sins! Slaves and maids ask for punishment, no complaints! Xiao Dan knelt in front of Yi Xiangxiang.
Concubine De sneered as she learned from Yi Xiangxiang just now, and watched the performance of the show, but she didn't hide it at all.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at her pig-headed face and smiled, she really felt that the other party's brain was not very clear.
"What's the penalty for this? You can be dumbfounded, it's your ability! If Xiangqiao can also make the palace speechless, the palace will not punish her. Yi Xiangxiang didn't even look at Concubine De, disdainful as if it was a dirty thing.
Her words were extremely protective, and the people around her slandered the queen for being unreasonable.
"Holy! Look at the Queen, this is ...... This doesn't clearly mean that people in Changchun Palace can make trouble, and people from other palaces don't want to! Although the concubine is in the style of complaining, there is a bit of coquettishness in her words.
Yi Xiangxiang almost wanted to be disgusted, but she still pretended to be very patient and analyzed: "That is to only allow the governor to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!" After speaking, she changed her words again: "But it's not quite right, Xiao Dan didn't commit anything, she stated the facts!" ”
"Holy ......" Concubine De still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yi Xiangxiang.
"Okay, okay, don't push it! Hongu just hit what's wrong, right? If you want to take revenge, you will be the queen of this palace. Otherwise, even if it's a tiger, you will lie on your stomach for this palace! ”
The queen's mother, Yi Xiangxiang, was very arrogant, which made many people secretly look at the saint Zhao Ziqian. Lin was even more worried that his daughter's arrogance in her remarks would dislike the emperor, and she was even more worried in her heart.
The crowd saw their holy lord frowning and looking in the direction of the queen.
Some people feel that the queen is going to be trained.
Some people feel that the queen is going to be finished, after all, she beat Lin Guifei.
As for Zhao Ziqian himself, he didn't pay much attention to everyone's movements, and he didn't even care much about what they said. He only saw Yi Xiangxiang gently patting his younger brother Yi Lele's back and comforting the latter. As for Yi Lele, the whole person shrank into Yi Xiangxiang's arms.
Yi Lele was pretending to be scared, so he naturally had to shrink into his sister's arms.
Zhao Ziqian looked at Yi Lele for a while, and then got up and made an amazing move.
He walked up to Yi Xiangxiang and picked up Yi Lele, then returned to his chair and sat down, and then patted Yi Lele's back like Yi Xiangxiang.
The whole action was done in one go, as fast as a gust of wind.
In the Imperial Garden, there was a moment of silence, and everyone's pupils dilated.
And among these people who were stunned by dilated pupils, Yi Xiangxiang was also included.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and even Yi Xiangxiang didn't know what Zhao Ziqian was smoking.
However, poor Yi Lele changed from pretending to tremble to really trembling.
......
After Yi Lele was taken away, Yi Xiangxiang's arms were empty and a little cold. She forgot to wear a cloak when she came out, and she could still keep warm with Yi Lele, but now that she was taken away, she naturally felt cold.
She glanced at Yi Huanhuan, who was standing beside her mother, and hugged her sister.
Zhao Ziqian saw her movements, and looked at the two small buns wrapped around Yi Huanhuan's head, and did not make a sound.
After the interlude, everyone almost forgot what they had just done, knowing that Yi Xiangxiang spoke again.
"Keep fighting! Is it a joke that Hongu said that you can't stop without seeing blood? ”
Yi Xiangxiang saw everyone staring in her direction, and she instantly became unhappy when she thought of the embarrassment of her younger brothers and sisters before.
She didn't plan to let Concubine De go like this!
And she wants the entire palace to know that she can make trouble with her Yi Xiangxiang, but if the Yi family is moved, then she must have the courage to bear the anger.
Lin Zhimeng was originally protecting Xiangqiao, but after hearing Yi Xiangxiang's words at this time, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhao Ziqian: "Ask the Holy God to be merciful and save them from the death penalty!" Xiangqiao just made disrespectful remarks, and did not hurt the Yi family sisters and brothers. ”
She knew that it was useless to ask for Yi Xiangxiang, so she could only ask Zhao Ziqian.
Although Zhao Ziqian was secretly invited by Lin Zhimeng, he also knew the cause and effect when he came. However, he also knew how much Yi Xiangxiang cared about the Yi family, and that was really short-sighted! At the beginning, even Yi Ruonan, who she hated, could secretly protect her, let alone her sister and brother!
He had quarreled with Yi Xiangxiang before, because he didn't want to touch her at this time.
Well, he admits that he also has the trait of a faint king.
"The queen is the lord of the six palaces, she manages the harem, and I don't bother to ask!" Zhao Ziqian made his attitude clear.
Yi Xiangxiang was very surprised that Zhao Ziqian was obedient, and she was prepared to tear her face with Zhao Ziqian!
What's going on? Yi Xiangxiang was puzzled.
Lin Zhimeng was also very surprised, she just saw that the situation was serious and called someone to invite Zhao Ziqian, but she didn't expect him to say this.
And the others looked at each other, didn't they say that the emperor and queen were not compatible? But this saint is completely on the queen's side!
Yi Xiangxiang didn't have time to study in detail, but only grasped the key point in Lin Zhimeng's words: "Capital crime? It turns out that Lin Guifei also loves to play word games! When did Hongu say that he was going to kill them? ”
"Queen Mother! There is no difference between seeing blood and killing it! "Lin Zhimeng is really anxious.
"Really? Then why don't you just kill it? Yi Xiangxiang smiled like a hellish Shura.
Hearing this, Concubine De was so frightened that she couldn't kneel steadily, but she still quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Things have come to this point, and De Concubine really feels scared and also feels the threat of death.
Lin took Yi Huanhuan from Yi Xiangxiang's arms, and hinted at Yi Xiangxiang at the same time that Yi Xiangxiang could do it, after all, he couldn't really make a fusy.
She didn't want her daughter to really have a reputation for tyranny.
Yi Xiangxiang naturally sensed Lin's hints, and she also understood the concerns of her mother's repeated obstructions, so she thought about it for a while and spoke majestically: "Concubine De's words and deeds are immoral, and she is not worthy of her name!" From today onwards, she will be degraded to Jieyu and confined for three months! Xiangqiao bumped into the palace, and he didn't want to repent, and the thirty big boards were full of walls behind him and thought about March! Lin Guifei, as the lord of Chongren Palace, was not strict with her majesty, and she was punished for copying palace rules a hundred times! ”
When everyone heard this, they could only apologize.
A conflict ended like this, Yi Xiangxiang didn't greet Zhao Ziqian much when she left, and after retreating, she took her mother and younger brothers and sisters back to Changchun Palace to change their clothes.
And there was still Zhao Ziqian sitting there in the imperial garden, and everyone in Chongren Palace did not dare to get up.
After a long time, they heard the saint say in a cold voice: "The queen is the queen I have chosen, if someone dares to speak disrespectfully, it is not as simple as losing a title and making a board!" Do you understand? ”
Naturally, everyone praised it in unison.
Zhao Ziqian waved his sleeves and got up to leave.
Lin Zhimeng was a few boards shorter, and her back hurt a little. But she still knelt in place for a while, until Zhao Ziqian's figure disappeared around the corner, and then she came back from her stunned state.
She got up with the support of Qiaosui, and ordered everyone to put up Concubine De and Xiangqiao, and the group returned to Chongren Palace.
What Zhao Ziqian said in the Imperial Garden naturally spread quickly, and when Yi Xiangxiang knew about it, she only sighed:
"Emperors really don't like to be questioned."
And because of this incident, two days later, Zhao Ziqian's oracle was transmitted to Changchun Palace, asking the queen to carefully supervise the palace banquet, and Yi Xiangxiang seriously considered the necessity of sitting firmly on the queen's throne.
This time the younger brothers and sisters were guilty, if it weren't for the rumors that her position as the queen was unstable, even if Concubine De didn't have any brains, those palace maids and eunuchs wouldn't dare to do it! It's because she feels that she needs to be stable!
Isn't it Gong Dou, she still doesn't believe that she can't play!
Yi Xiangxiang decided to rise up this time!
And then again, even if she is not so "great" for whom, it is for herself, she can't waste wood like this every day. God let her run through it, and let her become a queen inexplicably, if it really ended up being a wasted queen, then it would be worth it?
If nothing else, let's just say that the founding fellow of the Qilin Dynasty has built a prosperous dynasty! And if she becomes the queen of waste wood, won't she lose face?
Either or not! The more Yi Xiangxiang thought about it, the more she felt that it was not appropriate to waste it.
She thought about it several times, and finally decided that she still had to decorate herself in the dark and windy winter, at least not to leave the label of the queen of waste wood in the history books!
Rise is the key!
From this day on, Yi Xiangxiang set herself the ideal of becoming a "great queen"!
