After a while, Wei Chizhen didn't call up, nor did she speak, she just looked at Jiao Niang leisurely, and after a while, she turned her face and chatted with Mrs. Jane, "I heard that your sister is getting married, what kind of family are you looking for?"

Mrs. Jian replied with a smile: "It is the fifth son of the Shaoqing family of Taichang Temple. ”

"Oh, I heard that the fifth son of his family is a very good child, a talent, and some knowledge, Sister Jane's sister is really blessed. Hua Meiniang continued her words with great interest.

Mrs. Jian sighed faintly and said, "Hey, what kind of blessing is she, the fifth son is good, but it's a pity that he is a concubine, and no matter how knowledgeable he is, he is not taken seriously." ”

Jian Yunzhu's maiden family is also a small family, because of the relationship with King Rui, she has some face, for their family, it is already a high climb to be able to marry such a family, she is still a little hypocritical here, which makes people very unaccustomed to it.

Hua Meiniang smiled calmly, stroked her white and smooth fingers like shallots, and said, "Look at what my sister said, what about the concubine, not all of them are the same." ”

Mrs. Jane turned the corner with a "uh-huh" twice, "That's not the same, how can the concubine be compared with the concubine?" Again: "But ah, speaking of which, the fifth prince is still good, but it is much better than those concubines who don't understand the rules at all." ”

After speaking, she looked at Jiao Niang pretentiously, as if she had just seen it, "Oh, why is Concubine Xiaohua still kneeling here?" The feather fan in her hand shook gently, "I almost forgot, Concubine Xiaohua is also a concubine, I don't mean you, Concubine Xiaohua must not be careful." ”

Jiao Niang had already expected that after yesterday's incident, the alliance she formed with Yu Chizhen would collapse, but she didn't expect her to be so impatient, and she deliberately called her to humiliate her in front of everyone.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to keep kneeling for Jiao Niang, so she played a round game, "I just cared about talking to my sisters, and the princess forgot to call Concubine Xiaohua." ”

If she had said this, the matter would have passed, and if she had a grudge in her heart, it would have disappeared somewhat.

But Yu Chizhen didn't want to let Jiao Niang pass easily, she didn't squint, and her well-groomed makeup became more and more lined with her phoenix eyes, and she said unrelentingly: "Today, all the sisters gather here, but Xiaohua Concubine didn't come for no reason, if I hadn't sent someone to invite, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen it today." ”

Jiao Niang was about to open her mouth to explain, but she heard Granny Sun sneer, "Concubine Xiaohua is very favored, and she doesn't take the princess in her eyes. Such a corrupt woman's morality and disrespect for the housewife should be punished heavily. ”

Qing Huan came with Jiao Niang, and when she saw that they had joined forces to bully Jiao Niang, how could she still hold it, so she immediately slapped her lips and said: "When the prince left us this morning, he specially ordered that our master should not use it to greet the princess today." ”

Jiao Niang scolded her, "Not many mouths." ”

"Oh, is it? But the prince did not send anyone to pass the word. Yu Chizhen was as beautiful as a dai, and she provoked slightly.

"The princess listens to this slave Hu Qin, I think she is just to cover up for her master, and she dares to lie anything. Granny Sun opened her mouth and scolded: "Little hoof who doesn't know the number of etiquette, the princess is talking to your master, which round will you interject!" ”

Jiao Niang was frightened in her heart, and hurriedly pleaded, "The princess is angry, this maid is not sensible, and she is used to following me open-mouthed——"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Chizhen interrupted and said: "If you don't know something, you have to be taught, if you are always so open-mouthed, I don't know what trouble will happen one day." ”

After speaking, as soon as her eyes signaled, two mothers-in-law who looked five big and three thick stepped forward to suppress Qing Huan, and Grandma Sun rolled up her sleeves and opened the bow left and right, and after a few slaps, Qing Huan's mouth was swollen.

Jiao Niang couldn't bear to look directly, and put her face aside, and the "snapping" slap was like hitting her face. She knew that she couldn't intercede, that would only make Wei Chizhen's hatred of her shift to Qing Huan.

It wasn't until Yu Chizhen saw that the fight was almost over that she called it off, and Jiao Niang hurriedly supported Qinghuan, wanting to touch her face, but she didn't dare to touch it. Blood oozed from her face and the corners of her mouth, blurring her face.

"As for you, Concubine Xiaohua-" Yu Chizhen didn't think it would be over.

The anger surging in Jiao Niang's chest was like a layer of rising seawater, and when she raised her eyes, there was a hint of provocation between her eyebrows, "Does the princess also want to slap the concubine?"

Yu Chizhen smiled and joked, "You are the side concubine, this princess always has to save some face for you." Go out and kneel in the courtyard for an hour, and it will be a lesson. ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "Concubine Xiaohua is weak and delicate, how can she survive an hour? ”

Hua Meiniang also said: "Yes, besides, the prince has always cherished the fifth sister, if he knew that the fifth sister was punished, he would blame the princess." When the time comes, I'm just afraid of ......"

That's all she had to say.

Sure enough, Yu Chizhen was suddenly furious, "Can the prince still take a leave of absence from this princess?" Hua Meiniang was silent, fiddling with the embroidery on her clothes, Yu Chizhen's remaining anger did not disappear, "It is the princess's duty to rectify the back house, even the prince can't put his beak in it." ”

This is the second time that this kind of humiliation has been made, and Jiao Niang never thought that she would suffer it again in this life.

She knelt in the middle of the courtyard, the marble hard and cold, like an ant that could only bite into her knees.

With those eyes that are either gloating, or unbearable, or indifferent, or disdainful, they gradually disappear in Liyuan Courtyard, leaving only the "rustle" sound of the rough maid sweeping the floor with a broom, occasionally interspersed with a few sentences of the mother-in-law beating and scolding the maid.

"I don't know how thick the sky is, the master just praises you a few words, and your tail will rise to the sky? No matter how high your tail is, you can't become a phoenix, at most you are a chicken. ”

"Stinky girl, you have a father and no mother, you don't work to death, you know all day long, you want to learn to seduce men with whom. ”

"There are no rules, let you kneel for an hour and you will be honest. ”

“......”

The one who pointed at Sang and scolded Huai almost pointed at Jiao Niang's head.

An hour seems to pass more than two hours, the sun rises high in the sky, people and shadows are connected in a straight line, Jiao Niang kneels in the tuyere, and her waist is still in a straight state.

After a long time, Granny Sun came out of the house, her face full of mockery, "Ah, it's been more than half an hour, where is Concubine Xiaohua still kneeling." You don't come into the house and call me, why don't you quickly help the little flower concubine up. ”

Jiao Niang looked up at Grandma Sun, indifferently pushed away the hands that came to help her, she endured the pain in her knees, insisted on standing up, tidied up her skirt, and straightened her appearance.

Her calmness made Granny Sun feel uneasy, and she couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, but seeing her suddenly smile at her, Granny Sun suddenly felt a sense of fear spread throughout her body.
