On the second day, when Hua Mian woke up, Pei Gongcuo had already left the court. As soon as he entered the Shuihua Palace, he couldn't wait to pull her to the backyard.

Hua Mian looked at Pei Gongcuo strangely, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. saw him staring at his eyes full of smiles, and then his eyes turned and looked away. Following his gaze, Hua Mian suddenly froze. In the midst of the garden, the green dragon cypresses that were originally twisted and spiraled together are now all pruned into the same shape—a slightly sloping heart.

"How's it going, do you feel like your heart is pounding?" Pei Gongcuo tilted his head to look at her, his eyes were clear, and his smile was undiminished.

Exciting? I did feel this way, but it seemed that it was only at the moment when I met Ji Yunye's eyes.

"Isn't it impressive? If you don't speak, you are acquiescing. In the future, I will let the 'heart' here never wither. Pei Gongcuo pulled Hua Mian's hand to the position of his heart, "And this heart that loves you will never wither, do you say?" ”

Hua Mian admitted that she was indeed moved at this moment, but she said with some confusion: "How did the emperor think of pruning these miscellaneous trees?" ”

Pei Gongcuo patted his sore shoulder and said, "Myanmar thought that she had a good night's sleep last night, but she tossed her husband miserably. ”

Hua Mian suddenly said in shame: "It's obvious that you are tossing me, okay?" ”

Pei Gongcuo joked: "The 'toss' I said is not the 'toss' that Myanmar said. What I mean by this is that after I finished my physical work last night, I have been doing a lot of mental work, and I have been thinking about what kind of gift to give you, and I came up with this idea. Then I didn't even sleep and got up to be your 'heart' for you. I'm sleepy and tired now. ”

Hua Mian said angrily: "It's good if you can't let your subordinates do these things, you still have to deal with state affairs, how can you do it if you don't have a good rest?" ”

Pei Gongcuo said happily: "How can I reflect my intentions when I hand it over to others?" What's more, if it weren't for that, I didn't know that Myanmar would feel sorry for me. ”

Hua Mian also ignored his poor mouth, and only said: "Is it okay for the concubine to help the emperor go to bed and lie down for a while?" ”

"Okay, I'm still going to bother Mi'er to beat me on the shoulder."

Hua Mian couldn't help but look at the sky, this person really had to inch in. Forget it, for the sake of him that he has indeed worked hard all night for himself, it will be fulfilled for him.

After settling Pei Gongcuo, Hua Mian stood in front of the window and stared at the heart-shaped dragon cypress in the backyard that he had trimmed for a long time, and there was a smile in his eyes.

On the second day, the weather was fine. Last night's rain washed the sky blue, and the air was filled with a rich fragrance of plants and trees.

Hua Mian remembered that Pei Gongcuo had told her that he asked the Shangyi Bureau to make her a new set of clothes, and she thought that it should be done, so she asked Wan Tao to bring it over, and by the way, she took Snowball out for a walk.

The snowball was sticking to her tightly, and it was only spinning at her feet at the moment, just unwilling to leave.

Hua Mian kicked it lightly and said, "Go and help me see if the clothes are ready, and come back to give you a chicken leg to eat." ”

Snowball reluctantly chased Wantao out.

When Wantao arrived at the Deshang Clothes Bureau, she saw that Bi'er was also inside, and smiled slightly out of politeness, even if she said hello, after all, she never interacted with other palace maids.

Bi'er didn't say anything, nodded politely, took her clothes and left.

On the way back to Shuihua Palace, Wan Tao unexpectedly found that Bi'er had not gone far, standing on the side of the road and seemed to be waiting for someone. She didn't care much about it, and called the snowball and wanted to pass by her, but unexpectedly, she stumbled under her feet, and one pounced forward, and although the person stood dangerously, the snow-white new clothes were thrown out, and fell on the muddy ground after the rain on the side of the road.

Wan Tao hurriedly picked up the clothes, only to find that they were already dirty. The aunt of the Fangcai Shangyi Bureau said that the silkworm chiffon silk is a tribute from southern Xinjiang, and there are only two horses in total, one horse was given to the queen mother, and the other horse was used to make new clothes for the Burmese concubine. I think it was Na Bi'er who was jealous, so she deliberately stumbled. She turned around angrily only to find that Bi'er was about to apply oil on the soles of her feet and slip away. She grabbed her sleeve and asked angrily, "What do you mean, Miss Bi'er?" ”

Bi'er shrugged innocently and said, "You don't like your own things, how can you blame others?" ”

Wan Tao's cheeks flushed with anger: "I ask you, why are you tripping me?" ”

She thought she would continue to quibble, but unexpectedly she said arrogantly: "I don't like you." ”

Wan Tao laughed angrily: "My master said that you don't have to worry too much about things outside your body. However, the master also said that if a person makes a mistake, he can only remember it if he receives the punishment he deserves. As he spoke, a slap was thrown, and the red five finger prints were clearly visible.

Bi'er was furious, she covered her face and said, "You are so bold that you dare to hit me." You obviously don't take Ya Zhaoyi seriously. ”

She didn't show weakness, stepped forward and kicked Wantao to the ground, and was about to go up and kick a few more times, but was thrown to the ground by a snowball.

Snowball tore her clothes viciously, and dragged the new clothes she had taken for Wen Ruya into the muddy water, as if she was still angry, and pounced on the leg that she tripped over Wan Tao and bit it to the point of blood, and then seemed to remember that she had kicked Wan Tao again, so she bit the foot that kicked Wan Tao into a blur of flesh and blood.

Bi'er's hoarse wail resounded almost throughout the palace. Wan Tao was so frightened that he dragged the snowball to free Bi'er from the dog's mouth. Seeing the sound of hurried footsteps around her, Wan Tao didn't bother to check Bi'er's injuries, and fled with snowballs in a panic.

Hua Mian was sitting under the phoenix tree eating grapes, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a dirty fat dog running into the hall and couldn't see the background, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and saw Wantao running in in a panic with muddy water, and quickly stood up and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you go over and get a piece of clothing, can you make such a mess? ”

Wan Tao ran straight to Hua Mian and knelt down, tears falling down: "Girl, Wan Tao is afraid that she will cause a big disaster today." ”

Hua Mian's heart tightened, and let her get up and speak slowly.

Wan Tao took a sobble to tell her what happened, just waiting for Hua Mian to come up with an idea for her.

Hua Mian sighed and said, "Now, I can only resign myself to fate." ”

She took the soiled new clothes in Wan Tao's hand, shook it open and looked at it, it was really beautiful, it would be a pity if she threw it away like this. Looks like it's going to take some work today. She said to Wan Tao, "Bring me some soap horns, and prepare an iron for me." ”

Seeing that Hua Mian was fine, Wan Tao said anxiously: "I'm afraid that this matter will implicate the girl, you still have to think about how to deal with today's incident." Just let the slave and maid wash the clothes. ”

Hua Mian said: "Such a good clothes, what a pity if they are washed, let me wash them." As for the snowball biting Bi'er, it will always come, so we'll just have to wait. ”

"Do you want to inform the emperor?"

"No, so as not to make it difficult for him."

Sure enough, when Hua Mian cleaned and ironed his clothes, a group of uninvited guests broke into the Shuihua Palace.

The person at the head is naturally Wen Ruya, but to Hua Mian's surprise, in addition to bringing a bunch of servants from Xianfu Palace, she also invited Pei Gongcuo, and Pei Gongcuo was also accompanied by Fu Xin and Han Zheng.

Looking at Wen Ruya's arrogant appearance and Pei Gongcuo's cold face, Hua Mian suddenly had a bad premonition.

Hua Mian first brought everyone in the Shuihua Palace to greet Pei Gongcuo, and then said calmly: "The emperor brought so many people to the palace of his concubines today, I don't know what happened?" ”

Wen Ruya was not polite, and directly asked people to carry Bi'er up. Hua Mian gently shifted his gaze from Pei Gongcuo's gaze and looked at Bi'er. I saw her sitting on a bamboo chair, she had been cleaned and changed into a set of clean clothes at the moment, her two trouser legs were lifted high, and her legs were wrapped in thick bandages, and Yin Yin's blood was oozing on them, and she was not lightly injured.

Wen Ruya said with an angry face: "The Burmese concubine instigated her subordinates to slap Bi'er first, and then set the dog to commit murder later, today the emperor is here to call the shots for the concubines, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wan Tao was horrified when she heard this, she didn't expect Wen Ruya to sue first, distort the facts, and put all the blame on Hua Mian, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the concubine Niangniang, it was all done by the slave and maid." If you want to beat and punish, it's good to rush to the slave and maid. ”

Wen Ruya scoffed, "Really? Bir, tell me what happened. ”

Bi'er's eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't help but cry again at this moment, which made people feel distressed, and she choked up: "The slave maid accidentally touched the new clothes of the Burmese concubine to the ground and got some muddy water." Wan Tao then said to the slave maid, 'My master said that if a person makes a mistake, he can only remember it if he is punished as he deserves. Then without saying a word, he slapped the slave and maid, and threw Ya Zhaoyi's new clothes into the muddy water. ”

Wan Tao's body shook, that sentence was indeed what she said, but she didn't expect her ability to take words out of context so perfectly, and she easily splashed dirty water on Hua Mian. And the five fingerprints she hit on Bi'er's face were still clearly visible, and Wen Ruya's new dress was indeed covered with muddy water by snowballs, and she didn't even have a chance to quibble.

Bi'er continued to complain: "Even so, Wantao is still not angry, and even let the dog bite the slave. ”

After listening to Bi'er's tearful accusations, Wen Ruya said bitterly: "The facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wan Tao said hurriedly: "It's not like this, Bi'er wasn't careless, but deliberately tripped the slave maid, she was jealous that the concubine's new clothes were better than Ya Zhaoyi, so she deliberately soiled it." ”

"Enough!"

This majestic shout immediately captured everyone, and the most surprising were Hua Mian and Wan Tao. They all looked at the owner of the voice in confusion.

Pei Gongcuo said coldly: "I already know what happened. Regardless of whether Bi'er intended it or not, it is not right for Wantao to indulge in dogs and hurt people, not to mention that she is still under the guise of Concubine Burmese. Such a bully should let her suffer some hardships in order to remember her for a long time. Whoever comes, pull down the rod and rebuke forty. ”

"Wait!" Hua Mian stood in front of Wan Tao, but saw that Pei Gongcuo immediately had a look of uncertainty because of her obstruction, so he said calmly, "Forty boards are only afraid that they will take half of her life, and it is also wrong for the concubines to be not strict under control, so let the concubines share the twenty boards for her." ”

Wan Tao hurriedly dissuaded: "Niangniang can't, slaves can bear it." ”

Pei Gongcuo's eyes looked at Hua Mian deeply for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "It's okay, it's going to be executed here." ”
