Chapter 172: Beating (Second Watch)
,
Ye Chengxuan wants to be rude to Xie Qing? Empress Chen expressed some doubts about this, Ye Chengxuan is the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he is not a gentleman? She said in her heart, this is probably Concubine Xie Shu and Concubine Ye Defei competing in secret.
Empress Chen picked up the tea in her hand, took a sip, and said slowly, "What does Concubine Shu want?" ”
Concubine Xie Shu sighed lightly: "Queen Mother, Qing'er's father is the second brother of the concubine, who died young, leaving this only seedling, the concubine has the heart to do a good job for her, but now Commander Ye actually ...... Qing'er"
Concubine Xie Shu paused and continued: "The queen also knows that the concubine and the sister of Concubine De are a little discordant, if the concubine rebukes her, I am afraid that Sister Concubine De will have to make a fuss, so I can only ask the queen mother to say something for Qing'er." ”
"Ye Chengxuan is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, his majesty's courtier, and this palace is considered the queen, but he can't punish his courtiers at will." Empress Chen said lightly.
Empress Chen didn't want to get involved in the battle between the Xie family and the Ye family.
Concubine Xie shook her head and said, "Queen Mother, how could the concubine let you punish Ye Chengxuan?" If you really punish him, then someone will definitely chase after his origin, and then Qing'er's reputation will not be preserved. ”
These words made Queen Chen look sideways slightly, this Concubine Xie Shu really put herself in Xie Qing's shoes? This made Queen Chen can't help but look up at Concubine Xie Shu.
"Then how do you want this palace to make decisions for you?" Empress Chen asked.
Concubine Xie Shu's heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine wants to invite the mother to talk to Mrs. Ye and discipline her son well, although Commander Ye has done a good job, but this private life should also be paid attention to!" How can you be obsessed with women at a young age! ”
Concubine Xie Shu's tone had a hint of sarcasm, and Empress Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
"Queen Mother, it's the concubine who is talking seriously." Concubine Xie Shufei owed herself and said, "Qing'er, she is a hard-working child, and she asks Niangniang to make decisions for her." ”
Empress Chen is the queen of a country, Ye Chengxuan did something wrong, she called Ye Chengxuan's mother over to reprimand and give some advice, which is a decent thing.
However, before Empress Chen could speak, she heard Concubine Ye De's voice outside: "The concubine has an urgent matter to see the queen's mother." ”
"Come in." Empress Chen replied.
After a while, I saw Concubine Ye De walking in quickly, and as soon as she came, she cried to Queen Chen: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubine's nephew." It's all Xie Qing, the nephew she framed the concubine. ”
As soon as Concubine Ye Defei heard that Concubine Xie Shu had gone to find Queen Chen, her subordinates panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to inquire what was going on, what happened to Ye Chengxuan and Xie Qing outside the palace, and the next person also inquired, probably Xie Qing said that Ye Chengxuan was rude to her, and Ye Chengxuan said that it was a misunderstanding. Concubine Ye Defei combined the information she got in her mind, and finally concluded that Xie Qing framed Ye Chengxuan for insulting her.
Getting this conclusion, and then thinking of Concubine Xie Shufei crying and running to find Empress Chen, Concubine Ye Defei thought that every time something happened to her, she would cry in front of Emperor Yongqing, and in the same way, Concubine Xie Shu went to Queen Chen to complain, how could this be done, Concubine Ye Defei hurriedly came to Kunning Palace, and asked someone to invite Emperor Yongqing.
According to Concubine Ye Defei's thinking, she first went to stabilize Empress Chen, and then delayed time, and when Emperor Yongqing came, someone would support her.
"Lady, you're early." Concubine Ye said sarcastically.
Concubine Xie Shu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "It's time for this palace to come without Concubine De's sister." ”
Concubine Ye De snorted coldly: "It's not that the palace said, the niece and daughter of Sister Shufei are really bold enough, and she actually framed Xuan'er for insulting her, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to marry in the future!" ”
These days, Concubine Ye De is quite favored by Emperor Yongqing, and she sneers at Concubine Xie Shu whenever she has the opportunity, in order to avenge Concubine Xie Shufei for taking away the grace before.
Concubine Xie's face sank: "Concubine De, don't reverse right and wrong, Qing'er is everyone's lady, she has always been gentle and elegant, and has the style of a family, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Still gentle and elegant? What a joke! Concubine Ye Defei sneered, "Xie Qingling has sharp teeth, telling right and wrong everywhere, such a woman still has the demeanor of a family, and she is not afraid of being embarrassed when she says it!" ”
"You...... Whether Qing'er was playing right and wrong, or someone was calculating, but Qing'er was exposed and lost face, which is a thing for all to see. Concubine Xie Shufei was not to be outdone.
The Ye family's people were all planted under Xie Qing one after another, but they were all caught in the wrong place, which is reasonable.
"Enough!" Empress Chen said angrily, "This is the Kunning Palace of the main palace, not your dormitory!" ”
The two concubines quarreled in the queen's bedroom, and Queen Chen felt a headache when she heard it.
"You are all Your Majesty's concubines, you should work together to serve Your Majesty, instead of arguing here over your own nephews and nieces!" Empress Chen reprimanded sharply.
Concubine Xie Shu got up and curtsied at Queen Chen, and said, "The concubine knows her mistake. ”
Concubine Ye De also gritted her teeth, but Concubine Xie Shu was polite at this time, and hurriedly got up and saluted Queen Chen: "The concubine knows her mistake." ”
"Queen Mother, what about Qing'er?" Concubine Xie asked by biting the corner of her lip.
Concubine Ye Defei was not to be outdone, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the concubine begs you to be the master of Xuan'er." ”
Queen Chen's face sank instantly, Concubine Xie Shu and Concubine Ye De both came to sue, Concubine Xie Shu was for her maiden niece Xie Qing, which is a little reasonable, as the queen of the main palace, it is not an exaggeration to beat the Ye family, but Concubine Ye De is obviously a concubine Xie Shu to raise the bar.
"Concubine De, Commander Ye is His Majesty's courtier, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the palace does not have the power to make decisions for him." Empress Chen's face was displeased, if it was Xie Qing who framed Ye Chengxuan, it would be a case that only His Majesty had the right to decide, and it would be under her control, a harem woman.
Empress Chen was born in the Chen Guogong Mansion and was raised by a family since she was a child, and she was not favored when she entered the palace, so she was more cautious in her words and deeds, and her words and deeds did not conform to the rules.
But these Ye Defei didn't pay attention to these, because this was not something she was deeply rooted, and she sneered on her face, "That's not what the concubine meant." ”
The voice was as thin as a mosquito, and when Concubine Xie heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, she deserved it!
"Niangniang, Xuan'er was framed by Xie Qing for no reason, and he almost ruined his reputation, and asked Niangniang to issue an order to reprimand Xie Qing." Concubine Ye De gritted her teeth and said.
She couldn't let go of Xie Qing, it was this woman who made her lose her sacred heart, and she was almost beaten into the cold palace.
"Concubine De, don't deceive people too much!" Concubine Xie scolded sharply.
"Why is this palace so deceitful? It's you Xie Shufei who deceives people too much! Concubine Ye De raised her voice and shouted, "You dare to come to the queen in front of this palace, if it is not for the palace to come quickly, I am afraid that the nephew of this palace will be harmed by you!" ”
"Enough! Again, this is the Kunning Palace of the main palace! Empress Chen saw that the two of them were arguing again, slammed the table, and roared angrily.
Before Concubine Xie Shu and Concubine Ye Defei could speak, a bright yellow figure suddenly came out of the door.
"What's the noise?" Emperor Yongqing strode in, "I heard the voice from afar, you are all the highest-ranking people in the harem, where have you learned this etiquette?" ”
Before Emperor Yongqing entered the door, he heard the voices of Concubine Xie Shu, Concubine Ye De, and Empress Chen, these three people, one queen and two concubines, actually yelled, it was rude.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." The three of them hurriedly saluted Emperor Yongqing.
Emperor Yongqing waved his hand, "Get up, what's going on, you're blushing?" ”
Concubine Ye De preemptively said: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine and Xuan'er." Concubine Shu's niece Xie Qing framed Xuan'er, she was clearly arguing with the concubine! ”
Empress Chen's face was slightly gloomy, she was the queen of the main palace, she hadn't spoken yet, but this Concubine Ye De dared to speak first, it was simply a matter of dignity and inferiority.
Concubine Xie Shu had long expected that Concubine Ye De would definitely invite Emperor Yongqing over, so she was not surprised at all, but took everyone's faces into her eyes, seeing that Empress Chen's face was displeased, but she was happy, the more Empress Chen hated Concubine Ye De, the better.
And what about Emperor Yongqing? Concubine Xie Shufei has been secretly observing, and her joy and anger are invisible. However, with Concubine Xie Shu's understanding of Emperor Yongqing, although he favors Concubine Ye De, he is not a foolish person, he is afraid that he has already understood the truth of the matter before he came, and this truth will generally not miss the results of Imperial Doctor Zhang's diagnosis. As the chief of the chamberlain, as long as he is not bought by Concubine Ye De, he will naturally explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
"Concubine, what do you say?"
Concubine Ye De's face was slightly stiff, and a flash of fear flashed in her heart, Emperor Yongqing did not go into the past, he first reprimanded, but asked Concubine Xie Shu what to say without being salty. What do you mean, Your Majesty? The last time she was favored by Concubine Xie Shu, Concubine Ye still has palpitations when she thinks about it now.
Concubine Xie Shu walked to the middle, knelt down towards Emperor Yongqing, and said, "Your Majesty, Qing'er will never use her reputation to frame Commander Ye, and ask Your Majesty to learn from it." ”
As he spoke, Emperor Chao Yongqing kowtowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, Xuan'er has always been honest and steady, how could he do anything rude to the girl of the Xie family? Please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it. What Concubine Ye Defei wanted to say more was that Ye Chengxuan didn't look down on the women of the Xie family.
"He wouldn't do rude things to the Xie family's girl, but what about the others?" Emperor Yongqing said coldly.
Concubine Ye De's face turned pale, His Majesty was reprimanding her......
Concubine Xie Shufei lowered her head, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised in a place where no one could see her, she knew that even if Emperor Yongqing wanted to be partial in this matter, she couldn't find a reason.
It seems that the results of Imperial Physician Zhang's pulse diagnosis have accurately reached the ears of Emperor Yongqing.
"Concubine Shu, Concubine De, you are all my concubines, and you are actually making a lot of noise about your own family's affairs, where has this upbringing gone!" Emperor Yongqing's voice was faint, although his tone was not harsh, but the words he said were a real rebuke.
Concubine Xie Shu squeezed her handkerchief tightly, and His Majesty was beating her......
