Chapter Seventy-Eight: Three Defeats

Concubine Ren really wants to go back to Otsuki. She didn't want to stay in Dashun for a long time, and naturally she didn't want to stay the day she arrived in Dashun Kyoto.

Dayue Kingdom is indeed barren compared to the Dashun Dynasty, the food in the harem is not as delicate as Dashun, the clothes it wears are not as soft as Dashun, and its house construction is not as majestic as Dashun. But that is the place where she was born and raised, with her home, her relatives, and her people.

When she came to make peace, the Emperor of the Great Moon Kingdom had told her that sending her here was just impatience, and when she didn't want to stay, he would naturally take her back.

It is precisely because of such a guarantee from Emperor Dayue that Concubine Ren will be so unscrupulous. She thinks that she is the princess sent by the Great Moon Kingdom, even if Emperor Dashun doesn't like her and doesn't like her, at most, he will send her back to Dayue, and it is impossible to punish her heavily.

The people here wear different clothes than the Great Moon Country, comb their hair in a different bun than the Great Moon Country, speak different words, and drink different wine. Even the men of Dashun are not as robust as the Great Moon Kingdom.

As the princess of the Great Moon, she has the qualifications to choose three colts in the Great Moon Princess. can come to Dashun as an imperial concubine, but can only share a man with a group of women.

She wanted to say all these words, but when she saw Emperor Yong'an's wolf-like eyes, Concubine Ren subconsciously swallowed her saliva. She heard herself say, and said in a trembling voice, "Concubine, concubine doesn't want to go back to Dayue......"

Emperor Yong'an put away the smile on his face, and said in a very low and extremely emotionless voice, "Since you choose to stay in Dashun, then you will be a person of Dashun for the rest of your life, and you will be my concubine......"

Concubine Ren suddenly panicked, she regretted that she said that she was staying in Dashun. She was just about to repent, when she heard Emperor Yong'an whisper in her ear, "If you say that you want to go back to Dayue, I will definitely fulfill you." However, it is to return a cold corpse to Emperor Otsuki......"

The word corpse fluttered softly in Concubine Ren's ears and pierced into Concubine Ren's heart.

Concubine Ren clutched her chest, trembled and said, "You can't, I'm Princess Dayue." ”

Emperor Yong'an let go of his clenched fingers, stood up straight, looked down at Concubine Ren and said, "Concubine Ren, I have already given you a chance." You are no longer the princess of Dayue, just the concubine of Dashun. ”

After saying this, Emperor Yong'an said to Empress Zhu, "The palace maid beside Concubine Ren slapped Yingjieyu, Xian Guifei, what should the queen do?" ”

Empress Zhu couldn't wait to deal with Concubine Ren in her heart, and when she heard Emperor Yong'an's words, she straightened up and said, "Concubine Ren ignores the palace rules, and according to the ancestral system, she will be stripped of her title and demoted by two levels." His palace maid was killed. ”

"Killed?" Emperor Yong'an didn't seem to hear Empress Zhu's punishment of Concubine Ren, so he only waved his hand to Gonggong Feng behind him, and said calmly, "Concubine Ren should also change her slaves, and send all the slaves around her who instigated her master to be killed." ”

As soon as Gonggong Feng raised his head to the eunuch guards behind him, he immediately stood up and more than a dozen guards arrested the palace maids and grandmothers beside Concubine Ren.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Emperor Yong'an was not joking, Concubine Ren let out a sad cry and cried, "Since the concubine is the emperor's concubine, the emperor can't listen to the words of Yingjieyu and Xian Guifei and others. Grandma is the nurse of the concubine, and the concubine grew up eating her milk," Concubine Ren hugged Emperor Yong'an's thigh and cried to Emperor Yong'an, "The concubine's mother went early, and Grandma is the same as the concubine's mother, and I ask the emperor to be merciful......"

Emperor Yong'an coughed lightly, Empress Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and by the way, Qingyu stepped forward to break Concubine Ren's hand holding the corner of Emperor Yong'an's robe, and lifted Concubine Ren aside.

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand at Empress Zhu, and smiled at Concubine Ren who was crawling on the ground, "My Concubine Ren, you are married to a wife, and you are past the age of breastfeeding. If Concubine Ren likes to drink**, then I should ask a few young and strong nurses to send it to Concubine Ren's palace. Emperor Yong'an's eagle-like eyes looked up and down on Concubine Ren's body, and said, "If you want to come to Concubine Ren's skin as white as snow, it must be related to drinking ** for many years......"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Concubine Ren's heart was full of fear, she got up and knelt at the feet of Emperor Yong'an again, she was afraid that Emperor Yong'an would put to death the nurse who was like her own mother.

Concubine Ren knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an and kowtowed, and the hairpin on her head made the golden chrysanthemum fall to the ground, "Please also ask the emperor to be merciful and spare the life of the concubine and aunt." ”

Seeing that Concubine Ren begged for her like this, Concubine Ren's nurse shouted to Concubine Ren in the Dayue language, "Princess, the women of the Great Moon Country are not weak in their knees!" You are the princess of Otsuki, and always will be! ”

After Concubine Ren's nurse said this, Concubine Ren really stopped begging for mercy. His hand was on the gravel road, and he broke two nails dyed with Kodan, and a trace of hatred for Emperor Yong'an flashed in his eyes.

No one in Dashun's harem understands the language of Dayue, and they can't understand what Concubine Ren's nurse said. However, Concubine Ren no longer kowtowed and begged, but it was convenient for the guards to take those palace maids away.

Emperor Yong'an said to Empress Zhu next to him, "Let the Yeting Palace arrange some capable palace maids around Concubine Ren, etiquette is especially important, let Concubine Ren learn the rules in this harem." As a queen in the middle palace, she must always be mentioned, how can she let Concubine Ren play with a child's temper at will......"

Although Emperor Yong'an was reprimanding Empress Zhu with these words, the corners of Empress Zhu's mouth provoked a bright smile, "Concubine, you must 'mention' Concubine Ren well." ”

Concubine Ren looked at the high Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, and her heart was full of hatred, but she kowtowed to Empress Zhu obediently and said, "The concubine is young and ignorant, and she also invites the queen to be very benevolent, and the concubine will study the rules of the palace carefully in the future, so as not to embarrass the queen." ”

Empress Zhu's smile became brighter and brighter, "This is the good sister of this palace." ”

Emperor Yong'an looked at Lingxi and Xian Guifei who were kneeling on the ground and said to Empress Zhu, "There are still things in the previous dynasty, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the queen to deal with." ”

Although Emperor Yong'an did not demote the status of Concubine Ren, he eliminated all the palace maids around him. In this way, Concubine Ren is alone in the harem of Dashun, and you can imagine how difficult the days will be in the future.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Lingxi and Xian Guifei did not cry out again, and Emperor Ren Yongan left with Gonggong Feng and others.

After Empress Zhu saw the back of Emperor Yong'an walking away, she said to Concubine Ren who was kneeling on the ground, "Concubine Ren is at fault, but you are still young, this palace will punish you for being grounded for three months, and the punishment for half a month will be halved." ”

Concubine Ren clenched her teeth, kowtowed to Queen Zhu, and stopped talking.

Empress Zhu said to Xian Gui Concubine again, "It is a big mistake for Xian Gui Concubine to slap the concubine of the second grade. But thinking of your deep sisterhood with Yingjieyu, the palace will punish you for two months, because of the hard work of raising the third prince, you will not be punished for a month. In the past two months, you must think carefully in the Deyang Palace, and get along with the other concubines in the harem. ”

Xian Guifei was stunned after hearing this, how could this Queen Zhu punish her like this. But then after thinking about it, I understood that I had three princes under my knees, and she was receiving holy favor, and Queen Zhu took the opportunity to suppress herself.

Two months is two months, Xian Gui Concubine sneered in her heart, kowtowed to Queen Zhu, "The concubine will be punished." ”

Empress Zhu saw that the noble concubine didn't say anything, so she said to Lingxi again, "Concubine Ren is at fault first, but the beauty of Ying is not without mistakes." This palace will punish you with a month's imprisonment and a month's punishment. After a pause, Empress Zhu asked again, "Are you unconvinced?" ”

Lingxi knew that Empress Zhu didn't like her, so it was certain that she would take the opportunity to suppress her. So he kowtowed and said softly, "It's better for the concubine to disobey, and the concubine will receive the order." Lingxi straightened up and looked directly at Queen Zhu, and then said, "But the concubine still has one more matter, please ask the queen for permission." ”

Concubine Ren looked back at Lingxi violently, and hated Lingxi to the bone in her heart. She has already been punished like this, is Lingxi still unwilling to let her go?

Empress Zhu also warned, "Yingjieyu, you have to think about it." ”

Emperor Yong'an did not mention the position of Concubine Ren outside of his words, and she, as the queen, naturally could not disobey Emperor Yong'an's intentions. If Lingxi made any unreasonable demands, then she could only be ruthless.

Lingxi pulled the lotus leaf and Qiaozhu to his side, and said, "The concubine asks the queen mother to allow the imperial doctor to enter the Yilan Hall during the concubine's grounding period to heal the injuries on the face of the palace maid around the concubine, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”

If the palace maid in the harem of Dashun is sick or injured, she cannot be treated by the imperial doctor, and can only be left to fend for herself. If the master is good, he will reward some plasters and pills or something, but most of them are not right.

Lotus Leaf and Qiaozhu knelt on the side, and tears fell down in large pieces. They have been in the palace for a few years, when has the master ever been so distressed, and he still begged for them in front of the queen?

Queen Zhu also didn't expect that the first time Lingxi begged her to beg her was actually for the two inferior palace maids, but she still waved her hand generously, "That's natural, they have merit in protecting the master, and the injuries on their faces must be healed well." ”

So, this farce in the chrysanthemum garden ended, and all three were defeated!

Although Xian Guifei was worried that Emperor Yong'an would still have some favor for her after two months, she was relieved when she saw the third prince in her arms. She has a prince by her side, even if Emperor Yongan forgets her, she will not forget the third prince. She should have concentrated on playing with the third prince in the Deyang Palace for two months, and casually withdrew from the battle in the palace and rested.

Lingxi was even more indifferent, she had survived three months, not to mention a mere month. With a slap in the face, a month's grounding in exchange for the absolute loyalty of two personal palace maids, and in exchange for the admiration of the servants of the palace, she felt that she had made a fortune.

Most of the concubines in the harem looked down on the palace maids and eunuchs, thinking that they were just dispensable slaves who were punished at will. But Lingxi knows that a single tree cannot make a forest. There are many minions in this harem and few masters, and if you want to achieve great things, minions often play an unexpected role.

Among the three people who were punished, the one who was doubly desolate was Concubine Ren.

The palace maids and grandmothers brought by Concubine Ren from Dayue were all removed, and although the Yeting Palace arranged for her to be a slave, none of them were her henchmen. The days of Concubine Ren are like years.

Just when all the concubines in the harem were speculating about what kind of inhuman life Concubine Ren would live in the Jiyue Palace, news suddenly came out in the Jiyue Palace that Concubine Ren was pregnant......
