Chapter 61: Thousands of hard work
As soon as Jin Peizi heard this, her eyes instantly lit up with a good-looking brilliance, she endured and endured, so that she didn't let the smugness get carried away, and said with a broken face: "There is the queen mother who is in charge for you, Baolan, what do you know, although tell the truth." ”
Looking at ProSlide's calm expression, Gao Lingxi was a little flustered, and quietly pursed her lips, her movements extremely subtle. But Bilan still saw it in his eyes, and he had to worry about his master. The last time ProSlide gouged her eyes, she still remembers it vividly, and her mind is full of suspicions, isn't this ProSlide having a bad intention, and it is going to be unfavorable to the concubine, right?
Lan Xin's face straightened, and he said gently: "Say it!" Unlike others, she was sure that ProSlide had not come to frame Hui Guifei, but to save her from danger. As for whether this slave's words are true or false, and where they come from, they may not be able to see through it for a while, but they always have a purpose.
Thinking about it, Lan Xin suddenly felt ridiculous. From the queen mother to the slave maid, every place in this harem is full of thoughts. The Forbidden City is not so much a quadrangular palace made of red walls and gold tiles, but rather a purgatory on earth where people's hearts are intertwined. It is not only the body that is imprisoned, but also the soul and heart.
just entered the palace, and the concubines obviously couldn't hold it back. What will happen next, Lan Xin really didn't dare to think about it. After a little sadness, Meiyu frowned unconsciously: "This palace likes people who tell the truth." ”
Baolan glanced up at Concubine Hui, her heart tightened, and she replied to the queen's words obediently: "Niangniang, it was the slave maid who broke the Guanyin who sent the son." ”
"You broke it." Gao Lingxi couldn't help but shudder, she was suspicious of Baolan's words, and she couldn't see through the woman in front of her, so she really didn't know what she would say next. "Why doesn't Hongu know?"
Pan Yu's gaze was like a ray of cold light slowly projected on Baolan's face, staring at her for a long time, and he knew it in his heart. Moreover, Panyu also guessed the queen's thoughts, for the queen, nothing is more important than the harmony of the harem. can't just be a queen for a few days, and then I can't look at this person's heart.
Although he felt very awkward, Panyu still figured out his situation, and only by being impartial can he stand up and correct his position. And when it reaches the emperor's ears at this time, she will get the respect she deserves.
Thinking like this, Panyu had to help Hui Guifei figure out the whole story: "This palace is a little confused, Baolan, since you broke the congratulatory gift to the queen, why didn't you show Ming Hui Guifei, but made a mess, so you panicked and asked to see the queen mother to confess?" If you want to admit your guilt immediately, the punishment will be much lighter than it is now. ”
Lan Xin smiled slightly, and then said, "Concubine Xian, you told the truth. The palace is also strange in his heart, since it is presented in front of the palace, the Guanyin has been damaged, why don't you immediately show the concubine but send it to the Changchun Palace? At this time, when you come to see this palace, aren't you afraid that this palace will send you to the Shen Penal Division? ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave maid did not drop the brocade box to the ground on the way to Changchun Palace. At that time, Wang Xizi stepped forward to ask for a meeting, and was talking to Gonggong Xue, but he didn't look at it. The slave maid thought to herself, the son Guanyin was wrapped in a soft cloth and packed in a brocade box, so it should be fine with such a gentle fall.
After all, it is a thing dedicated to the queen's mother, my mother entrusted her mother's family, and it took a lot of thought to invite her into the palace, and the slave maid only felt that she couldn't go. I don't dare to say it, but I am also worried about the punishment of the master. Let's say that at that time, the slave maid was still lucky, this brocade box was not opened and seen, maybe it was really not damaged! What's more, as long as the slave and maid don't say it, even if it is really damaged, after so many hands, who knows that it is the negligence of the slave and maid, and they can be fooled by the past without knowing it. ”
Baolan said with emotion, his eyes were red, as if he was very remorseful, and he seemed to feel guilty: "It's the slave who is stupid, I don't know that there will be such a big misunderstanding, and I almost collided with the nobleman." As soon as she got the letter, the slave maid learned that she had caused such a big disaster, and almost affected the concubine, so she couldn't sit still anymore, and came to ask the queen mother for her guilt in a hurry.
The queen's mother, there are thousands of mistakes, it is the fault of the slave maid alone, and she begs the queen to punish the slave and maid for her crimes. The concubine is the master of the slave, and the master treats the slave and the maid very well, and Baolan cannot affect the master because of his own selfish desires. Grace will take revenge, isn't it not even unworthy of being a human being? Please punish the slave and maid, don't blame Hui Guifei Niangniang. ”
She was silent, and although this was the result she wanted to see, she was still disappointed. In any case, her current position has restrained her tongue, and if she wants to fight safely in this deep palace, she has to find a backer who can stand firm. To put it mildly, even if it's good to use it, but when something happens, someone has to stand in front of you, right?
Compared with the queen and concubine, the master with a solid foundation, Concubine Hui needs someone around her more at this moment to help her say a few words. Qi Qige knew that if he wanted to rely on the protection of the concubine, there was no more suitable time.
But Huang Rui'e doesn't have such a good heart, the palms of her hands are full of cold sweat, and her teeth are too tight and gurgling: "What a loving maid." Around this palace, why didn't there be such a heartfelt girl? But affection and righteousness can't explain anything, the queen mother, the concubine still thinks that this matter is ......"
"What does Concubine Yi think is wrong with this?" Lan Xin's tone can be heard by anyone, although it is not heavy, but it is not light in the end.
One sentence shocked the concubine to sit unsteadily, and hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The queen mother misunderstood, the concubine just thinks that it was a coincidence." Xiu Guigui is pregnant, and the damaged Guanyin is presented, which inevitably makes people feel uncomfortable. The concubine is a straight person, she can't put things aside, and when she thinks about it, she is afraid that the nobles will be unbearable. So I said a few more words. ”
Gao Lingxi got up calmly, took a few steps forward in front of Baolan, and knelt down lightly towards the queen, her face was dark and uncertain: "Queen Mother, the concubine really doesn't know about the damage to Guanyin. In the final analysis, Baolan is the person next to the concubine, and the lack of strict control is an irrefutable crime of the concubine. As for the nobles, the concubines must be kind enough to soothe them, in order to relieve their sister's heart and make up for the misfortune caused by Baolan.
Lan Xin hadn't spoken yet, but Jin Peizi couldn't help but interject: "Concubine Hui must be unaware, otherwise, how could she allow Baolan to do such a boring thing." Queen Mother, the concubine sees that since this matter has been revealed, let's forget it. If you hit by mistake, you can't blame others after all. ”
Huang Rui'e couldn't swallow this resentment, and listened to Qi Qige and Jin Peizi interceding with Concubine Hui one after another, and she was even more angry. In the past, he either relied on his family background or his identity, and he always felt that the Gao family, who was born as a handmaiden, was not worthy of being a side blessing. Now it's good, as soon as the emperor's favor arrives, the queen mother's favor will also come up. One by two, they all made wall grass and pasted it on Gao's body, which was extremely hateful!
With resentment in her heart, Huang Rui'e's cheeks flushed deeply: "Queen Mother, the concubine didn't know about it in advance, and it's hard to blame." But as a maidservant, she has caused such a disaster, and she dares to deceive her master, which is really not to be indulged. The concubine felt that it was better to deal with it with the Prudent Criminal Division, so as to warn the maids in the palace of others to be careful. After all, the harem is not a palace, don't get used to their pampered tempers. ”
Lan Xin bowed slightly, and said to the maid beside her: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and help the concubine up." Seeing the maid help Gao Lingxi with a solemn face, she said again: "Concubine Hui didn't know from beginning to end, and this palace doesn't plan to pursue it." In the end, this matter is just a misunderstanding. It is true that the palace is anxious, and without taking a closer look, he transferred the gift of Guanyin to the nobleman. ”
Gao Lingxi was grateful when she heard this, and shook her head again and again, intending to explain that it was not about the queen.
Sighing lightly, Lan Xinfu smiled calmly again: "After all, it is some unwarranted rhetoric, I don't take it to heart, and there is nothing to say that it doesn't work." Don't think about it anymore. Lowering his head slightly, Lan Xin and Gao Lingxi looked at each other, and said admittedly: "Baolan must have been an unintentional mistake, and if he was able to tell the truth to the palace, he finally had a heart of remorse." Ling Xi, people are served by your side, and this palace will be handed over to you to deal with. The small punishment and the big commandment are enough, and the harmony of the harem is the most important. ”
This last sentence was said to Gao Lingxi, and it was not said to Huang Rui'e.
Pan Yu gasped, quietly buried all the dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and laughed from the heart: "The queen mother is merciful, you show it, and always mention some concubines, etc., and the harem will be harmonious." ”
ProSlide cried and thanked him, and kowtowed to the queen again and again.
Gao Lingxi glanced at her resentfully, and said in front of the queen and the palace concubines: "Baolan, you have been with the palace for a long time, but now you have to hide it from the palace, and you almost caused a bigger disaster, and you should have been punished heavily." But the queen will be lenient, and the palace will punish you to go to the Huanyi Bureau for March, and while washing your clothes, I hope you can reflect on yourself and self-examination, and you must not do this again. ”
"Thank you to the queen, thank you to the concubine, the slave must reflect well, and I don't dare to serve the master wholeheartedly." ProSlide's eyes were filled with gratitude and remorse, not the slightest resentment or dissatisfaction.
This is what Gao Lingxi can't see through.
Lan Xin smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, this matter is over." You're all tired, so go back and rest early. ”
Everyone stood up in unison, bowed to the queen, and knelt down.
Zhilan turned around and walked in, and when there was no one else in the main hall, she asked: "Queen Mother, the slave really doesn't understand, she knows that the Guanyin who sent her son is broken, why do you pretend not to know how to give it to the nobles." It's about the emperor's heir, aren't you afraid that this matter will not be found out and arouse the suspicion of others? ”
