Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Empress Strikes
The snowflakes began to fall again on a sunny day, and they were faintly getting bigger and bigger.
After getting up early and washing up, sitting in front of the dresser, Mrs. Xun was smearing osmanthus hair oil on her waterfall-like hair with Lingzhu, and then pulling her hair in a bun.
Lingzhu took out the plain and low-key white hosta that Mrs. Xun usually likes from the jewelry box, but was taken down by Mrs. Xun with one hand, picked and picked up in the jewelry box, and finally chose a red gold hairpin with golden phoenix wings spread, and took out a red gold and Tilian step to insert it in the bun, and the lotus flower on the step shake is carved with a whole piece of pink tourmaline of the finest grade, scorching and dazzling in the light, emitting bursts of light.
put on makeup and put on the face, and with the high-beam flying cloud bun, the step shake and the red gold pendant under the ears shined, looking very noble.
Mrs. Xun is now about thirty years old, although she has a son of King Xin, but the years have not left too many traces on her face, gentle and delicate, like a hollow valley orchid, which makes people shine, and her skin is still as smooth and white as a twenty-year-old woman.
Lingzhu doesn't understand why the master has always disliked these bright gold jewelry, so after these rewards were basically never brought, why is it unusual, give up those low-key and elegant ornaments, and dress up so grandly and ostentatiously.
Maybe I just want to try something different, there's nothing wrong with swaggering, my own master is born with a delicate appearance, but I don't want to provoke more jealousy and trouble, I have always dressed up in a low-key and plain way, and never brought some luxurious accessories.
But when I thought of it, it was precisely because of the master's low-key and introverted that the queen had always ridiculed her master for coming out of a small place for so many years, so she had never seen a big scene, and even the clothes were something that was not eye-catching, but Mrs. Xun never argued, she just endured with low eyebrows, so the queen also smashed her fist on the cotton, and she couldn't do anything.
Lingzhu picked out two sets of clothes for her master, and Mrs. Xun's slender and soft hands stroked the lotus lotus pigmented elegant dress, and finally pointed to a set of gold silk peacock feather brocade clothes next to her, with a rose-red skirt inside.
After putting it on, even Lingzhu nodded and sighed: "Master, you are really beautiful in this dress, graceful and luxurious, and with your unparalleled appearance, even if it is not inferior to Diao Chan Xi Shi, not to mention the one in Fengqi Palace, it can't be compared at all." ”
A vague smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Xun's mouth, glanced at Lingzhu, and said, "Your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, have you ever seen a Shih Tzu sable cicada?" Dare to say that this palace has beaten them? ”
Lingzhu raised her eyebrows while arranging the dress on Mrs. Xun's body: "Although the slave maid has never seen it, the slave maid knows that there is no one in this palace who can compare with you, except for the dead Empress Li." ”
Mrs. Xun heard Lingzhu mention Empress Li, the corners of her mouth were bitter, and she looked at Bai Xue outside the door and said coldly: "Yes, Yiren died early, and he couldn't save his children, after so many years, it's time for the truth of the matter back then to be revealed." ”
Lingzhu saw that her master was stunned, and hurriedly took out a fur cloak and put it on Mrs. Xun, urging: "Niangniang, let's hurry up and say hello to the queen, we will be angry with her again when it is late." ”
Mrs. Xun took Lingzhu's hand, got on her shoulders and went to Fengqi Palace.
When Mrs. Xun got off her shoulders and went to the Fengqi Palace where the queen lived, she saw the queen in a big red brocade dress sitting on the top, and there were several chairs next to the queen.
Everyone saw Mrs. Xun dressed in gorgeous clothes, some of them had envy on their faces, some were amazed, and some were disdainful and jealous, and the queen was this last one, although the smile on her face was deeper and did not show half a point, but the disgust and coldness in her eyes could not be hidden.
Mrs. Xun Shi Shiran walked to the middle, curtsied and said softly: "The concubine sees my sister, the concubine is late, please don't blame my sister!" ”
A woman in her twenties on the side said arrogantly: "Yo, this is different with the emperor's favor, even the greeting can not be punctual." ”
The queen smiled gently, and said: "This weather is not good, the road is slippery in snow, and it won't hurt if it's late, and besides, aren't we all talking about tea." But the queen didn't tell Mrs. Xun to get up, the latter just stood with her legs bent and didn't dare to move for half a minute, and the crooks of her legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Queen, you are in charge of the six palaces, and you can't be too merciful to the people below, otherwise you will only spoil those who are pampered and arrogant, this snowy road is slippery, but didn't the other sisters come over early, just she's special, shouldn't the emperor rest in her palace last night, tired of her, then don't come, and dress like this, isn't it angry Sister Queen." Rong Zhaoyi said in a strange manner.
"The emperor rests in the palace, because he can look at the palace, unlike some people, who want the emperor to look at you, but they don't have a chance." Mrs. Xun said in a cold voice.
Mrs. Xun, who has always been a man of few words, and swallows any anger in her stomach, suddenly sharpened her teeth and mouth at this time, which made Rong Zhaoyi speechless for a while, and just pointed at Mrs. Xun, "You...... You, you are bold ......"
The smile on the face of the smiling queen disappeared at this time, squinting at Mrs. Xun who was looking straight up, and said coldly: "Is Mrs. Xun insinuating the palace, the emperor has not been to Fengqi Palace for several months, are you saying that the emperor doesn't look down on the palace?" ”
The emperor has been spoiling this pretending to be a tall woman in front of him recently, but he hated that he didn't find the handle, this time it's good, he finally caught your handle, see if the palace doesn't clean you up well, the queen slandered in her heart.
Then he pointed at Mrs. Xun and said sharply: "Are you dressed like this today to demonstrate with the palace?" Is this a golden hairpin that you can wear if you want to? Or do you think that with the emperor's favor, you can not take the palace in your eyes? ”
The queen was furious, took off the Lotus tourmaline on Mrs. Xun's bun, and shook it on the bright marble brick, making a crisp sound, and smashed it into countless petals.
Everyone looked at each other, although they knew that the queen was using the topic to play, but for so long Mrs. Xun had monopolized the favor, which had already made these people secretly hate in their hearts, and everyone thought that Mrs. Xun did not have the support of her mother's family, and she did not put her in her eyes at all because she had no money or power, and they were just cold bystanders, and no one spoke out to persuade them, after all, these people have been in the palace for so many years, and no one knows the queen's means, as long as she provokes her, there will be no good fruit to eat.
"The concubine did not trespass the harem ceremony, this step and clothing are all given by Your Majesty, if the queen is dissatisfied, you can go to Your Majesty and let him take it back." Mrs. Xun was not afraid, and said eloquently.
Everyone shook their heads in their hearts for her, if they didn't defend themselves, they would be better, they could suffer less, but the more this stupid woman defended, the more unhappy the queen would be, and it was she who suffered.
"Okay, good, good, you are showing off how much the emperor loves you, then this palace will let you know today what is the difference between dignity and inferiority, what is the difference between wives and concubines, no matter how favored you are, you are just a cheap concubine!"
The queen was full of anger, and her eyes were like killing people, so people didn't dare to look at it directly, but at this time, Lingzhu ran to the house, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy: "The queen is angry, the master doesn't mean to offend you, she is just in a bad mood, please spare her, the slave is willing to be punished on behalf of the master, beg the queen to stop her anger!" ”
The queen sneered when she saw Lingzhu kneeling on the ground, and said: "What a loyal girl, come on, pull Mrs. Xun out, and punish her to kneel in the snow for two hours, isn't this girl loyal, then punish her to kneel with her!" ”
The two inner eunuchs walked into the hall, pulled the two into the snow in the courtyard, kicked the crook of the legs of the master and servant, and the two fell to their knees in pain.
