Seeing this, Zhu Zhenyun, the little girl who was following Li Liangdi, couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Sister, it's okay, where is the reason for the master to accompany the slave and maid to kneel?" What's more, they just sighed that the side concubine was pitiful. ”

Li Liangdi looked at the Qianyun behind her, and then looked at Qingyi kneeling in front of her, with a slightly angry look on her face, she rolled her eyes at Qiyun and said, "It's useless, I'm used to things." I'm going to punish them, what are you afraid of? ”

It's just that under the repeated pleas of Zhenyun, Li Liangdi finally had a change in attitude.

Although the punishment of kneeling is still the same, the time has been reduced to two hours, and there is no need to change the place to the Nifu Pavilion where Li Liangdi lives in a large place like a garden.

Qingyi knelt in the courtyard of the Nifu Pavilion, shivering because of the slight coolness of the autumn evening.

Li Liangdi sat in the hall, but the door was open, seeing Qingyi kneeling like this, she only looked at Qingyi with an impatient look and said, "What? Mrs. Zhang can't stand it? Just now, when your master and servant said that the side concubine was right and wrong, weren't you accustomed to strength? ”

Where did Qingyi dare to say anything at this time, she only whispered: "Please ask Liangdi to forgive me, the concubine has no such intentions." ”

Li Liangdi didn't pay attention to Qingyi, but picked up the white jade pipa given to her, calibrated the strings one by one, and twisted the tune lightly and slowly, but she was happy, as if she had completely forgotten that Qingyi was still here, with a long smile.

It seems that the whole smile is evenly and softly sprinkled on the precious Yao yellow chrysanthemums in the courtyard with the light of the sunset, expressing the most beautiful scenery of the East Palace.

Seeing this, the Qiyun on the side frowned more and more, and only comforted Li Liangdi, but Li Liangdi rolled her eyes at Zhengyun and said, "What are you not afraid of?" I'm just a righteous admonition. ”

It was not easy for Zhenyun to say anything more, so she had to stay next to Li Liangdi, and from time to time she cast an unbearable look at Qingyi who was kneeling on the ground.

Many years later, Qingyi still remembers this gaze, gentle as water, like a basket of heart.

That's really, incompatible with this court.

Li Liangdi was talking when she heard the waiter Sanshun in the Nifu Pavilion reporting, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the side concubine Niangniang have arrived." ”

Hearing this, Qi Yun first showed a panicked color: "How can this be good?" ”

Li Liangdi glanced at Qiyun, only rolled her eyes at Qiyun, and said, "Naturally, I won't do your business." With that, he lazily straightened out the hairpin ring on his sideburns.

The words fell, and Li Chun and the side concubine entered the courtyard of the Nifu Pavilion together.

Li Liangdi stepped forward unhurriedly and gave a light salute to Li Chun and the side concubine, "Why is the side concubine here?" If you are not feeling well, you should rest. ”

Concubine Qi only smiled: "I heard that Sister Li is punishing the palace maid here, so I thought about coming to see with His Royal Highness, although my sister is angry, don't be angry." It's not good after all. ”

Li Chun also nodded, and only stood in the courtyard, not going to the inner hall, looking at Qingyi who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a trace of a gentle expression in his eyes that could not be easily detected by outsiders, and he took it back, frowning and asking, "What's going on?" What is it that gives rise to such a great temperament? ”

Li Liangdi glared at Qingyi, and then pointed to Qiu Niang behind Qingyi, "Your Highness still said it!" It's not these two people, they just entered the East Palace, they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they said that the side concubine was not the mother, and the concubine looked too much, so she thought about punishing her. ”

Hearing that Li Liangdi mentioned Concubine Qi in her words, Concubine Qi's eyes were swept through the light of loss for a moment, and she immediately returned to soft and dignified, and only said: "Sister Zhang has just entered the East Palace, and she has no intention of thinking about it. As for this slave and maid, it is just gossip when I think about it, and there is no malice. ”

Li Liangdi didn't follow, she only stepped forward and wrapped herself tightly around Li Chun, and said in a coquettish tone: "Your Highness, the side concubine's sister is good-natured, but the concubine is not compliant." If you don't know whether you are alive or dead, Your Highness will be punished heavily. ”

Li Chun gently coaxed Li Liangdi, and then looked at Qingyi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness......"

Qingyi didn't say a word, but Li Chun blurted out: "What are you still doing here?" Didn't you have to make Concubine Fang and Li Liangdi angry? Why don't you go back to your palace and think about it? ”

It was an extremely stern and cold tone, clearly with disgust and disgust, as if he was saying words in the face of a piece of garbage, without any pity and love.

Qingyi couldn't help but secretly raised her head slightly to spy on Li Chun's expression. However, what was in contact with that eye seemed to be inconsistent with the cold words spoken by Li Chun.

In that eye, there is clearly a little tenderness and unbearability, but why do you say such words?

Li Chun seemed to notice Qingyi's snooping gaze, and immediately turned his head, so that Qingyi couldn't see Li Chun's expression.

"Why don't you leave? Is it redundant here? ”

Qiu Niang was behind Qing Yi, and she hurriedly pulled Qing Yi's sleeve, Qing Yi reacted like this, and got up with Qiu Niang's hand, "Concubine retire." ”

"Wait, you're dressed like this, where do you look like a lady? You don't want to lose face, but this palace still wants it. ”

After that, Li Chun took off a shallow moire silver silk embroidered bamboo cloak on his body, and threw it in Qingyi's arms as if he had discarded it: "Put it on and go back quickly, wearing such a shabby is the face of my East Palace." ”

"Yes."

Qingyi saluted, and was supported by Qiu Niang, but Qiu Niang herself was also punished to kneel, and the master and servant couldn't say who supported whom.

Qiu Niang walked on one wall as if she was looking for something, and said: "It's strange to say, it's obvious that Lianshui came out with us, why did the lady punish kneeling, but Lianshui has no shadow?" It's lazy! ”

Qingyi was already tired at the moment, but he saw Lianshui, the maid in his palace, running from afar.

When Qiu Niang ran closer, Qiu Niang complained first: "You will be lazy, the lady will kneel, you have no shadow!" ”

Lianshui bowed solemnly, beads of sweat the size of beans fell on her forehead, and she couldn't say anything because of the speed of running.

Qingyi looked at her like this, thought for a moment in her heart, and said: "I want to come here and I will punish you for kneeling, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the side concubine Niangniang that you went to invite." Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental. ”

Lian leveled his mind, only nodded, and said to Qingyi: "What the lady said is that the slave is stupid, and when she saw the lady punishing her to kneel, she couldn't think of any good way, so she thought about going to see His Highness for the next trip." ”

Qingyi smiled approvingly and said to Lianshui: "You are smart and willing to think about me." ”

Lianshui lowered his head and only whispered: "The slave maid is just the most humble palace maid, she doesn't know any big truths, she only knows that you are my master, and the slave and maid naturally have to bother to be thoughtful." ”

Qingyi showed a bright smile more and more at Lianshui, and then turned back to Qiu Niang and said, "You just said that people are lazy and idle, but now?" ”
