Chapter 12 Punishment Liangdi
After the concubines and ladies saluted, they sat down in order, and the crown princess was smiling, naturally, as the hostess of the East Palace, she naturally had a reason to be happy.
The crown princess looked at everyone with a smile, and first said to Concubine Qi: "I heard that the matter of my entry into the palace was completely handled by Sister Qi. I am extremely grateful, Sister Qi, for your trouble. ”
Although Concubine Qi was a little dissatisfied with these matters in her heart for several days, she naturally had a face that was always unfazed, "Princess, you are laughing!" Taking care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his mother is the duty of the concubine. ”
"Duty is not duty, nature is in the hearts of the people, Sister Concubine Qi really respects the princess. However, Sister Concubine Qi has always been loved by all of us. This time, Sister Qi took a lot of effort to enter the East Palace. Our sisters, but there are all those who don't miss Sister Qi's words and deeds. Li Liangdi, who was at the bottom, said.
The crown princess's smile was slightly frozen, but it was only for a moment, and she looked at Li Liangdi with a gentle smile: "This is Sister Li Liangdi!" The main palace ignored my sister when I entered the East Palace yesterday, and asked my sister not to be surprised, but it was really the phoenix crown that covered her eyes. Sister, you are wearing a crimson green dress again, and the palace is dizzy, but I think my sister is the flowers and grass in the yard! ”
Having said that, no one can hear the difference between the crown princess and Li Liangdi in front of everyone. The crown princess called "I" to everyone, and only to Li Liangdi would she call "Bengong" to hold up her princess's shelf. In this way, the crown princess does not take Li Liangdi in her eyes, and there is no one here who is not clear.
Lu Shunyu, who was often on the side, smiled at Li Liangdi and said, "Then the crown princess will not be dazzled if she wants to come today!" I see, the red embroidered acacia jacket that Li Liangdi is wearing today is very festive, and it looks the most eye-catching! ”
Qingyi looked at the past, and sure enough, when she saw that this was the case, she secretly exclaimed Lu Changzai's words in her heart, and in a few words, she found out that Li Liangdi was wearing red and collided with the prince and concubine today.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Chang said this, everyone also turned their eyes on Li Liangdi, and they all secretly exclaimed in their hearts that Li Liangdizhi was facing the concubine's mother's non-cervix, waiting to see how the crown princess had a seizure.
The crown princess's eyes were slightly stagnant, and she only stared at Li Liangdi for a long time, which made Li Liangdi unable to resist, even though her face was still complacent, the self-confidence in her heart was also detracted by half.
After a long time, the crown princess slowly spoke: "Sister Li Liangdi is really a city and a country!" This kind of color is really suitable for you. ”
Li Liangdi heard the words of the crown princess, and the smug look on her face was a little more, and then she smiled and said, "Niangniang, you praise it!" The concubine is vulgar, where do you dare to wear such a noble color, or His Royal Highness said that the concubine looks good in such red, and the concubine wears it. ”
The crown princess did not speak, but only looked at Li Liangdi with a pair of eyes that were still full of youthful atmosphere. Seeing this, Lu Changzai on the side only said: "Although Your Highness says that Sister Liangdi looks good in red, but my sister has just entered the palace in the crown princess, and our sisters are wearing such red for the first time when they visit the shrine, so it is inevitable that they will collide with the main room." ”
"Your Highness said that I look good in red, how can you put your beak in it? Besides, the crown princess hasn't said anything yet! You don't have to interject anything? Li Liangdi was not afraid of Lu Changzai, and reprimanded Lu Changzai for splitting his head and covering his face.
"That's it, Sister Li was originally dressed in red and looked good, delicate like a flower. Naturally, you should wear red more. The crown princess said so.
Everyone followed the gossip, and the crown princess mentioned the arrangements at the wedding, and praised Concubine Qi for her ability to do things and was very decent and thoughtful.
The crown princess praised it, but Concubine Qi was busy standing up and said respectfully to the crown princess: "Crown princess Niangniang, the concubine was blessed by His Royal Highness to take care of all matters in the East Palace, but she was beyond her strength, but fortunately, it did not disgrace His Royal Highness and Niangniang. Today, since the mother is in the position, the concubine is no longer in charge of the East Palace. Please also ask the mother to be a housekeeper, and the concubine can rest assured. ”
"It's okay, since Sister Qi was in charge in the past, you can take care of it in the future! I'm young, and I don't understand many things, so I asked my sister to take care of me. I know my sister is working hard, but I still ask my sister to hurt me. The crown princess said unexpectedly.
Concubine Qi shirked herself, but the crown princess and Concubine Nao insisted again and again, and Concubine Qi couldn't shirk it after all, so she had to agree.
When the dust settled, the crown princess was a little tired and tired, so she ordered her maids Yiwen and Shui Xiu to give gifts to the concubines and ladies of the palaces, which were naturally based on their ranks.
Rao is the lowest in Qingyi, and he was also given a complete set of red pomegranate heads with pigeon ruby and a gold silk acacia embroidered purse, which contained many soothing incense medicines. The one on the basket is a complete set of burnt blue corolla head and a royal blue pleated Ruyi rose flower horse face dress.
As for the highest-ranking concubine, it is a set of rose-like dotted cui head noodles, a set of red gold head noodles with double phoenix begonia flowers, a set of palace clothes with blue sky and water, and a whole box of high-grade ambergris. Naturally, it is the most important of the gifts, when Concubine Qi said that she was humble and unworthy of such a reward, the crown princess just smiled, "Sister is naturally worthy, if you don't accept it, you will torture me." ”
When everyone was rejoicing in their reward, they could see that Li Liangdi, who was on the upper right, was already trembling with her hands, and her face was already iron blue. When the crown princess saw it, she only said, "Yo! Sister Li, what's wrong? Is it because you don't like my gifts? ”
Li Liangdi was still trembling with anger, and the hands holding the gift box were already shaking and couldn't hold the gift box. After all, Li Liangdi's hands were unstable, so she shook the gift box on the ground, and all the gifts fell out, and everyone looked at it, and it was actually a plain silver bracelet of inferior quality, and a gold chain.
"What does this mean by the princess? What is this that you give to your concubine? Li Liangdi couldn't help but stand up and ask.
The crown princess's tone was light and leisurely, and she only took a sip of tea gently before saying slowly: "Naturally, it is a meeting gift from the palace to Sister Li!" What else could it be? ”
"Is Niang Niang teasing the concubine? The plain silver bracelet you gave to your concubine is so bad that ordinary people don't wear it, and the mouth of this bracelet is thin and irregular, and you can't wear it. As for the gold chain you sent, what does it mean to be carved into a chain? Although the concubine is lowly, she is definitely not able to be teased like this! ”
The crown princess was not frightened by Li Liangdi's momentum, she just stared at Li Liangdi as if she was watching a play, and when Li Liangdi finished her seizure, she still said lightly: "This is a reward, what is my sister talking about?" ”
"Mother, this is a reward? The concubine has been in the palace for many years, although she is soft-spoken, but the concubine is also a noble daughter of the Liangguan family, and she has never worn such shabby jewelry! ”
"Hongiya is kind-hearted, but why is Sister Li roaring like this?"
"The concubine didn't roar, the concubine just questioned you." Li Liangdi was already extremely angry, her face was like an exploding flower, although she was beautiful, she had lost her dignity.
"Shabby? Doesn't Sister Li know the etiquette in the palace? This palace is the concubine, my sister is the concubine, and the concubine is a concubine, which is originally a reward, that is, whatever is rewarded, you have to be grateful. My sister looks like this, but it's hard to teach me! After the crown princess said that, she made a color to Yiwen on the side, and Yiwen understood, so she walked in front of Li Liangdi.
"The lady next to her is the head, so it is naturally not easy to wear it with a split hair. But Mrs. Li, you are different, the crown princess Niangniang rewarded you with a bracelet, which is naturally easy to wear. In order to show your respect for the crown princess, please also wear it. ”
Li Liangdi's phoenix eyes widened, and there was only a look of disgust in her eyes, "This bracelet is too small to wear!" ”
Yi Wen didn't give up, "Lady, you said you can't wear it, are you questioning the kindness of the crown princess?" But the slave and maid are looking at what they can wear! Since you don't want to wear it, the concubine will help you wear it. With that, Yiwen picked up the plain silver bracelet from the ground and put it on Li Liangdi's arm.
Li Liangdi dodged instinctively, but was grabbed by Yiwen and poked the bracelet into Li Liangdi's arm. The bracelet was small and crudely made, so it was put in and the fingers were stuck only in the joints, and they couldn't be worn in any way. Yiwen didn't care about that, and still poked and poked inside.
Li Liangdi was in pain, and she dodged her hand more and more, but Yiwen had a lot of strength, and she grabbed it and didn't let go. Soon, Li Liangdi's jade hands had more red marks.
Then, there is a shallow opening, dripping blood.
"Mother, why are you doing this? The concubine is also a person with a seal, and you instruct your maid to lynch the concubine like this. Aren't you afraid that Your Highness will know? Li Liangdi endured the pain in her hands and said to the crown princess.
The crown princess was still sitting upright, but the smile on her face was long gone, but she just said to Li Liangdi: "Li Liangdi, what are these words?" This palace has already said that this palace is a reward! Don't be mistaken! ”
"Niangniang, this is in the name of the reward!"
"Li Liangdi!" The crown princess was stiff, strong and calm, and said slowly: "This palace is the crown princess, and it is the wife room of His Royal Highness the prince!" And you are just the concubine of His Royal Highness, and Li Liangdi is also from a noble family, don't you know that there is a difference between wives and concubines? The main palace says that it is a reward, so no matter what the main palace gives, it is also a reward. You have to take it well, and if you don't, it will be a contempt for this palace. ”
"Besides...... I only heard that Li Liangdi is luxuriously dressed and gorgeous in the palace. This palace gave you this bracelet just to tell you, don't forget the simple virtue of our ancestors! ”
"Besides, the palace heard that Li Liangdi has always liked to punish the concubines who kneel in the palace, and let some palace people kneel on the chains. Bengong just thought that it was not decent to punish kneeling in chains, and kneeling on top of gold was really a heavenly majesty! ”
