Chapter 114: Punishment

If you want to ask who is the most proud in the harem of the Li Dynasty now, it must be Li Meiren...... No, she should be called Li Jieyu, she was just promoted this morning.

Li Jieyu is the daughter of the Li family, this Li family is an upstart in the imperial court, and she was raised by Zhao Ziqian after he ascended the throne.

Of course, most people think that the relationship between the former dynasty and the harem is that the concubines have a high position, and the mother's family can rise and rise, so that the cart is turned upside down.

Li Jieyu was promoted twice in one winter, so it became a big talk in the harem. However, no matter how big this talk is, it is not as big as the words that are secretly circulated in the palace that Ling Hanyuan calls for water every night.

Yi Xiangxiang heard that Zhao Ziqian spoiled Li Jieyu every night when he went to Linghan Garden, and only sighed that young people just didn't know moderation, and thought that he had to ask the imperial dining room to get some body tonic for him to drink.

However, if the emperor had lost her body early and died, did it mean that she could be the queen mother?

When the time comes, it shouldn't be in the way to secretly raise a bunch of male pets, right? Yi Xiangxiang Yin thought about it.

However, she just thought about it, Zhao Ziqian now has no queen, if he really has any accidents, the vassal kings of the Li Dynasty will inevitably raise troops to compete for this throne. When the time comes, let's not mention the problem of the people's livelihood, as far as she, the queen, is also meat on the board.

Sure enough, the royal heir is really important! If Zhao Ziqian now has three long and two short, at least she, the queen, can come to support the young emperor to ascend the throne or something, and she can barely say it when she comes to listen to the government! But the problem is that there are no heirs! Yi Xiangxiang suddenly understood some of the helplessness of the emperor's family.

Of course, she doesn't care who Zhao Ziqian spoils day and night, and who can give birth to a dragon heir. But this doesn't mean that no one cares, at least now half of the women in the harem are eager to tear Li Jieyu apart.

In the main hall of Changchun Palace, the concubines are greeting the queen.

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Flat, sit." Yi Xiangxiang called lazily.

The concubines dressed in purple and red under the phoenix chair sat down according to their grades, and the leaders on both sides were naturally the noble concubines Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling.

However, Yi Xiangxiang's focus was not on them, but on looking at Li Jieyu through the crowd, only to see that Li Jieyu was holding her slender waist with a spring heart rippling on her face, just like no one knew that she had been happy for a few days.

Who said the ancients were introverted?

Li Jieyu, this is obviously wishing that the whole world knows how nourishing her X life is!

Yi Xiangxiang retracted all kinds of complaints in her mind and opened her mouth to reward Li Jieyu. After all, people have been promoted today, and the queen mothers of the two palaces have given rewards, so she, the queen, naturally can't be stingy.

The light pink dress of the butterfly dance and flowers, the red pleated exquisite Luo skirt, the royal blue peacock hairpin and the jade bead necklace, etc., the gold and silver jewelry are all appreciated. Yi Xiangxiang carried out her atmosphere to the end, and the other concubines were very envious.

After appreciating Li Jieyu, Yi Xiangxiang naturally sat upright and watched the play. Sure enough, after a while, Hu Jieyu and Li Jieyu tore up.

"Sister Li is unwell? If you are unwell, you should take down the sign, so as not to be able to serve the saint when you have time, and it will be a sin to displease the saint. ”

In addition to sarcasm, Hu Jieyu's words also have a strong envy.

How can you not be envious? Li Jieyu has been favored for dozens of days, and she has been promoted again, and she has been on an equal footing with her in just a few months after entering the palace! Hu Jieyu is naturally very envious! Even if the person she envies is her sworn enemy, she can't hide this kind of jealousy.

Li Jieyu said shyly and timidly when she heard this: "Thank you Sister Hu for your concern, in fact, I removed the brand from my previous sister, but the saint ......."

But the Holy One chose me!

The half sentence she didn't finish made everyone grit their teeth with hatred.

"Hmph, it's just a trick to play some tricks, Li Jieyu don't play with fire and self-immolation!" Where could Hu Jieyu stand such a bright slap in the face, and immediately changed from sarcasm to ridicule.

Everyone naturally knows that Hu Jieyu is talking about the Imperial Garden, and Yi Xiangxiang also realized later that Li Jieyu danced on the snow to attract butterflies, which was a trick, and those butterflies were just paper butterflies, and it was Hu Jieyu who made this mockery.

"Sister Hu, you don't know, right? Sheng Shang likes his sister's dance, and he has let his sister dance in Linghan Yuan these days! Also said...... also said that my sister's waist is as thin as a wicker, and it is delicate in her arms! Li Jieyu's tone was very proud, even provocative.

Although the saint did not say this, Li Jieyu felt that a person like the saint Yang was silent, and he would definitely not explain anything, so he added oil and vinegar to his face.

"Shameless!" The virtuous concubine Tian Yao joined the battlefield.

She is used to seeing these pretentious concubines, and she didn't say it to help Hu Jieyu, but purely wanted to scold Li Jieyu.

Li Jieyu was not angry, if she knew what shame was, she would not seduce the saint. In this harem, if you hang your temperament, you are waiting to die.

Proud as a queen, don't you also pretend to be sick to keep the king? Li Jieyu felt that she was just some drizzle.

(Yi Xiangxiang: I'm wronged!) )

"Sister Xian's words are not right, it is the saint who praises her sister, is it that Sister Xian Concubine is saying that the saint is not ashamed?" Li Jieyu dug a pit for Tian Yao.

Tian Yao was naturally angry: "You ......"

"Okay, all the doors to the palace are on the mouth! The Holy One is also something you can arrange? Yi Xiangxiang sat on the phoenix chair and said in a deep voice.

It's okay to make a small fuss, pull out Zhao Ziqian's right and wrong, then if she, the queen, doesn't speak, she will definitely give her a meal when she turns back to Xiao'an Palace.

And Li Jieyu naturally refused to let go of Tian Yao, and now she is more and more emboldened: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubine!" ”

In the harem of the Li Dynasty, the palace concubines above the concubine position should call themselves concubines; Below the concubine position, they all need to call themselves concubines.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect that this Li Jieyu would still step on it, and still ask to call the shots?

"What do you want this palace to give you?"

"The virtuous concubine Niangniang and Hu Jieyu are in cahoots and deliberately embarrass the concubine!" Li Jieyu sued the two.

These days, many ladies in the palace secretly wear small shoes for Ling Hanyuan. However, because Li Jieyu was favored, those palace people didn't dare to be really embarrassed, but despite this, Li Jieyu still felt aggrieved, and it was at this time that she deliberately bit the virtuous concubines Tian Yao and Hu Jieyu, who were the first to embarrass her today.

"Oh? Why are they embarrassing you? Yi Xiangxiang held the stove to keep warm, and asked with little interest.

It's not that she doesn't know the current phenomenon in the palace, it's just that it's not about it.

Although the queen's duty is to manage the harem, to put it bluntly, her position is occupied by Zhao Ziqian. In fact, in essence, Yi Xiangxiang felt that she had nothing to do with Zhao Ziqian.

If you have to count, then at most it can be regarded as a cooperative Party A and Party B.

It's because she didn't really want to get involved in these things.

But now that Li Jieyu cue her, she has to answer.

"The virtuous concubine Niangniang robbed the concubine to stew the chicken soup in the imperial dining room yesterday, Hu Jieyu made an excuse to beat the concubine's personal palace maid, and her face was broken, and the doctor said that it was not curable! Ask the mother to be the master of the concubine! Li Jieyu began to kneel down and cry as she spoke, and her posture was as weak as a little white rabbit.

Yi Xiangxiang found that Li Jieyu's crying made her a little irritable.

You can't have some kind of bipolar disorder, right? Obviously watching the play, how did the patience run out so quickly?

But thinking about everything in a good place, Yi Xiangxiang attributed her irritability to Li Jieyu because of herself.

She sorted out her thoughts and said indifferently: "It's just a bowl of chicken soup, you can let the imperial dining room stew another cup." ”

"That's it! Can the palace of Nuoda be without you a bowl of chicken soup? Concubine Tian Yao said disdainfully.

The chicken soup matter is not a big problem, but what Li Jieyu wants is for the queen to follow her words to punish the virtuous concubine and Hu Jieyu, but she didn't expect the queen to be unwilling to act. But Li Jieyu still didn't want to let go of this opportunity, after all, if she didn't stand up again, everyone would come to pinch this soft persimmon. And now she is the favorite concubine of the saint, even if she is the queen, she is not afraid!

"The queen is trying to protect the virtuous concubine and Hu Jieyu? If the queen can't enforce the law impartially, the concubine will sue the saint! ”

This is to move out Zhao Ziqian to suppress Yi Xiangxiang.

Yi Xiangxiang sneered, if she was someone else, she might be really afraid of offending the emperor's favorite concubine, but she Yi Xiangxiang and Zhao Ziqian are in a relationship of "signing a contract", although she is a weak "Party B", it does not mean that she is completely suppressed by Party A!

But she thought about it again, and then she looked up with a look of approval, and said:

"Success, punishment! Virtuous concubines love to drink chicken soup? Then drink chicken soup for ten days. Hu Jieyu likes to be slapped? Go back to the penal courtyard and find the torture mother to get ten mouths. ”

The harem of the Li Dynasty set up a special punishment court, which was used to punish the palace concubines who made mistakes.

"Queen Mother! The concubine is wronged! Hu Jieyu didn't expect to give herself ten slaps in the face, and she didn't expect the queen mother, who usually looked very gentle, to say that she would be punished, so she immediately knelt down.

"I'm not convinced!" Tian Yao stood up.

Yi Xiangxiang sneered when she saw this: "Disobey the queen, the punishment will be doubled!" ”

Hu Jieyu lowered her shoulders and sat on her knees and didn't dare to speak again, but Tian Yao was still about to say something, and was pulled by Lin Zhimeng.

I saw Lin Zhimeng, who was a concubine, standing up: "Queen Mother, this punishment is unfair!" Niangniang did not investigate, just listened to Li Jieyu's one-sided words, and convicted the virtuous concubine and Hu Jieyu, which was easy to chill everyone in the harem. ”

Tian Yao is the owner of Yingyunxuan in Lin Zhimeng's Chongren Palace, so she should stand up and speak.

Kang Ling, who was sitting opposite Lin Zhimeng, was very happy, and finally saw Lin Zhimeng and the queen on the bar, so she decided to add a fire: "Lin Guifei's words are not right, the queen has already convicted the two of them, and you say that it is unfair at this time, which is equivalent to committing a crime!" ”

"Concubine Kang doesn't need to rush to put a hat on the palace, the palace is just talking about things!" Lin Zhimeng changed her previous gentle and generous appearance, and after facing Kang Ling, she turned to Yi Xiangxiang and said: "If the queen thinks that the concubine is guilty, the concubine is irrefutable!" ”

Lin Zhimeng was really angry, not only for Yi Xiangxiang's hasty punishment, but also for Li Jieyu's appearance.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at this gentle woman who was sought by hundreds of schools of thought back then, and now she pretended to be a well-versed and righteous argument, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Many people and many things will change slowly, right?

It's the same for everyone.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at Lin Zhimeng, who was a little in the way, and no longer had the same appreciation for this person in her heart, she stopped Kang Ling from speaking out again, and said to herself:

"Is Lin Guifei planning to let everyone learn to die and ducks have a hard mouth? It's okay, let you see the coffin! ”

She said and beckoned Qing Xuan to step forward.

Qing Xuan was holding a thick book in her hand, and after she opened it, she stood up and said loudly: "At the beginning of yesterday, when the imperial dining room was passing the meal, the virtuous concubine saw the cui, and in front of everyone, took away the health black-bone chicken soup that Li Jieyu ordered the imperial dining room to prepare in advance. Seeing Cui Yan, what kind of master is that lowly woman, the saint really has no vision, you can look at it, I don't know how that woman will die in the future! And the day before yesterday, Li Jieyu's personal palace maid Moxiang passed through the Imperial Garden, and when she met Hu Jieyu who was enjoying the scenery, she took the initiative to come forward to worship and left, and was called back by Hu Jieyu halfway through, saying that Moxiang saw that she did not worship, so she slapped her mouth to disfigurement. The Imperial Physician said that Mo Xiang would have a scar on his face and would not be able to return to its original state. ”

After Qing Xuan finished reading the book, he returned to his original position.

"Mama Gong, you come to tell Concubine Lin that Concubine Xian and Hu Jieyu should be punished?" Yi Xiangxiang beckoned an old woman behind her to come out again.

This palace grandmother is one of the four grandmothers sent by Zhao Ziqian to Yi Xiangxiang, she is upright and strict, she served in front of the emperor in her early years, and many people in the palace respect her for three points.

"See the king of cui, you should kill! If the virtuous concubine is not strict, she should be punished! Hu Jieyu provoked right and wrong for no reason, and regarded the palace maid as a mustard, which should also be punished! The queen mother just punished the two masters for drinking chicken soup and palms, which is already merciful! ”

After Mama Gong finished speaking, she also returned to her original position.

At this point, no one dared to shout any dissatisfaction, and even Lin Zhimeng sat back obediently.

Li Jieyu is the happiest one, she originally had the mentality of giving it a try, but she was really ready to ask for a saint. But she didn't expect that the queen mother was really afraid of offending her, so she gave her this surprise. It was Li Jieyu who was about to kneel down and thank her at this moment, and she didn't want Yi Xiangxiang's next sentence to turn her gratitude into an apology.

"Li Jieyu has meritorious service to the saint, but she can't rely on her pampering to run rampant and wantonly provoke right and wrong! I heard that you made Wang Cairen kneel in the snow for three hours yesterday, so that Wang Cairen still has a high fever? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! The Snow Palace won't let you kneel, and you'll be locked up for three months! Reflect on it! Yi Xiangxiang said sharply, leaving no room for anything!

Trimester! The palace banquet is over!

Li Jieyu never thought that at the same time as Concubine Xian and Hu Jieyu, she also put herself in.

"Queen Mother, the concubine still has to serve the saint tonight!" Li Jieyu didn't expect Yi Xiangxiang to dare to punish her, so she hurriedly spoke up.

Although the saint has not turned over today's brand at this time, Li Jieyu has an inexplicable confidence, after all, she is now the favorite concubine of the saint!

"Then it's good to change someone to serve, can't the saint leave you?" Mengxin Pavilion and Concubine Pei Yuchen fell into the well.

She and Li Jieyu are in the same Zhongcui Palace, and the latter doesn't know how to restrain the matter of favor, so the two have long been at odds.

"Queen Mother, if you punish your concubines like this, the Holy ...... will blame you!

It's a pity that before Li Jieyu finished speaking, Yi Xiangxiang waved her hand and asked the old lady to seal her mouth and pull her down.

Yi Xiangxiang was very irritable at this time, and she didn't want to listen to Li Jieyu's roar at all.

She asked Qing Xuan to hand over the book, and said as she flipped through it: "You have all seen it, what you are doing down there, this palace is clear!" Now that it has been closed in recent years, it is all about the palace to restrain a little, otherwise don't blame the palace for being ruthless! ”

With a "snap", the book closed.

The concubines knelt down and bowed.

So the biggest talk in the harem today is that the queen punished the most favored concubine of the saint today.

On this day, everyone is waiting to see the liveliness of Changchun Palace.

Zhao Ziqian walked into the Changchun Palace at the time of the incident, and what he saw was Yi Xiangxiang leaning on the edge of the window, wrapped in a thick fox fur, and only showing a small face to enjoy the snow scene outside.

Everyone in Changchun Palace saluted Zhao Ziqian, and Jimei deliberately increased her volume, intending to remind her queen master.

It's a pity that Yi Xiangxiang didn't turn back.

Zhao Ziqian asked everyone to go down, and walked to Yi Xiangxiang's side.

"See what?" He asked.

"Look at the snow." Yi Xiangxiang replied.

"What's so nice about snow?"

"Everybody says snow is the cleanest thing in the world." If you don't consider the so-called natural phenomena.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't like snow very much, but she just felt that it was really white, representing the kind of purity that many people yearn for.

"Why did you punish them today?"

Zhao Ziqian saw that Yi Xiangxiang had something on her mind, and the feeling that she would go away at any time came to his face again, making him want to step forward and hug her.

"I don't like the palace." Yi Xiangxiang answered the question.

I've always disliked the palace, but why did I come in so easily? Looking back now, it seems that after being sealed and entering the palace, everything is incredibly natural.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't know how to delve into the state of mind at that time, was she really afraid that Zhao Ziqian would condemn the Yi family if she resisted the decree? Or does she actually want this supreme vanity too?

Look, she didn't seem to meddle in the beginning, but she still spoke out and punished those palace concubines.

Very concise, very domineering, and very unobtrusive.

She is also very confused at times, and she can't see herself clearly.

She began to shake herself.

Yi Xiangxiang has not punished anyone, Huanxi Pavilion has clear rewards and punishments, she has always been strict with her majesty. Even when she killed Qishan back then, she was also a person who had blood on her hands...... But now, just punishing a few palace concubines has made her have some self-denial.

Is it that from the beginning, what he rejected was not entering the palace, but only groveling? And being the queen made her a high position and greatly satisfied her vanity.

Because of this, can you enter the palace so easily?

She began to examine her dark side.

"I know, but I need you." Zhao Ziqian said to Yi Xiangxiang.

He spoiled Li Jieyu and was ready to reuse the Li family, so as to send a signal. The Li dynasty family is intertwined, and he must use the upstart to check and balance.

Zhao Ziqian knew very well that he loved to divide the secrets, and all the palace concubines in this harem, except for Yi Xiangxiang, were all chess pieces he used to balance the previous dynasty. He knew that his heart was on Yi Xiangxiang, otherwise there would be a more suitable candidate for the position of queen, but he only wanted Yi Xiangxiang to be his wife.

Of course, this also shows that in the eyes of the emperor, love and sex have nothing to do with each other.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that the love in Yi Xiangxiang's eyes is purer than snow. Although she also feels that love has nothing to do with sex, the difference between her and Zhao Ziqian is that she can't accept that she loves one person in her heart but rolls the sheets with another.

Just like if she had a lover in her heart, she would definitely not marry Zhao Ziqian.

This is the reason why the two almost went against each other.

Yi Xiangxiang is also well versed in the way of the emperor, in her opinion, Zhao Ziqian needs her as the queen, and he needs to pamper Li Jieyu is the same reason. She had no reason to persuade Zhao Ziqian not to take advantage of women, because this was the disadvantage of the dynastic era, this was a means of the ruler, and she couldn't ask Zhao Ziqian what to do.

is that even if Li Jieyu becomes the target of public criticism, she can't protect her. Li Jieyu's fate is to win glory for the Li family, just like Yi Xiangxiang is on the queen's throne, and it also gives the Yi family a meaning.

These people are all pawns of the emperor to balance the previous dynasty, Li Meiren is, and so is she, the queen.

"I'm tired, let's sleep." Yi Xiangxiang closed the window.

Zhao Ziqian originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to talk more, he could only keep silent.

So until the middle of the day, the ladies waiting in the palaces did not hear the news of the Holy Lord's questioning of the queen. But this was not the most surprising to everyone, because what was even more unexpected was that at the beginning of the child, a scream came from Ling Hanyuan.

Li Jieyu died in the main hall of Linghan Garden.
