Chapter 42: The Broken Jacket

"Concubine Shuniang, the emperor asked the servant to send you something!" Donglai shouted through the window.

Concubine Shu listened to the sound of cane punishment outside, and counted twenty-five times in her heart, thinking about when it would be the end. Suddenly heard the voice from the east, and his body trembled with fright, and he almost dropped the tea cup in his hand.

"Concubine Shuniang, the emperor has something for the servants to send." Donglai didn't knock on the door, just swaggered into the flower hall of Baohua Palace.

In the past few days, except for Yun Xi, all the palace people in Baohua Palace have been punished into the court to be rough envoys, and Yun Xi is too busy inside and out. In just a few days, the bonsai in the flower hall has grown strangely, with slanted branches.

"Yo, why don't you clean it?" Donglai looked around in the flower hall and muttered as if he didn't know.

Concubine Shu quickly wiped the water from her hands, made a cold and arrogant expression, and said, "Father-in-law Donglai came to see the joke of the palace, right?" ”

If it was in the past, Concubine Shu was so ridiculed, Donglai was afraid that she would immediately bend her knees and ask for guilt, but now, she is still a celebrity around the emperor, and Concubine Shu is already a prisoner.

"Niangniang said that she laughed, a slave is a slave, and the whole palace is the master of the slave, and the slave can thank God for the master's jokes, how dare you look at the master's jokes?" Donglai hooked the corners of his lips and made a flattering look and said, "It was the emperor who asked the servants to send you something." ”

The more Donglai had this flattering face, the more sarcastic Concubine Shu felt, and she frowned unconsciously.

Just now, the emperor also ordered the guards to be punished with canes, how can he be kind enough to give himself things now? Thinking about it, she knew that it was not a good thing, Concubine Shu was slightly self-conscious, and said, "What is it?" ”

Donglai smiled slightly, and put the tray on the tea table next to Concubine Shu: "Niangniang will know by looking at it." ”

This, this is?! Concubine Shu's eyebrows furrowed, and she reached out and grabbed two balls of cotton, and the tray of broken cotton was mixed with tufts of black wind hair.

"Isn't this a brocade jacket made by the palace for the princess?! How is this? Concubine Shu clutched the cotton tightly in her hand and looked at Donglai in surprise.

Donglai didn't have a little expression on his face, but said indifferently: "If Niangniang has nothing else to do, the slave will retire first." ”

Donglai ignored the stunned concubine, and just turned around and walked out of Baohua Palace without looking back. The beaten guard had already fainted, and Donglai tilted his head and glanced at the others: "Carry him down and rub some medicine to live and raise." In the future, be careful when you are in the palace, don't take care of things that shouldn't be done, and don't provoke people who shouldn't be messed with. ”

Yun Xi stood at the gate of the palace and looked out, wanting to see what was going on with the beaten guard, but as soon as she probed, she was pushed back.

Several guards locked the palace gate from the outside, and no matter how Yun Xi screamed, they refused to make a sound. Yun Xi returned to the flower hall in annoyance and saw Concubine Shu in a daze in front of a ball of cotton.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yun Xi reached out and grabbed two pieces of cotton in his hand, the scraps of fabric mixed in the cotton seemed to be the fabric of a brocade jacket, Yun Xi was shocked, why did this thing come back? Is it ruined like this?

"This is?!"

Concubine Shu slowly raised her head, staring at Yun Xi, holding two pieces of cotton tightly in her hands, her eyes full of unwillingness: "This palace has worked hard for so long, and he will ask someone to cut it up with a word." ”

"Who? Who is it? Yun Xi asked timidly.

As soon as the words came out, Yun Xi couldn't wait to slap herself, isn't this nonsense? Who would dare to give such an order except the emperor? Concubine Jiang Xian is very shrewd, so she won't let herself have a reputation that falls into the well!

"The emperor has always been merciful to Niangniang, and now Niangniang has been accused of such a big crime, and the emperor has just grounded Niangniang. How can you be so dignified, you have to cut a brocade jacket to be angry? According to the slave maid, it must be Concubine Jiang Xian who provoked in front of the emperor. When she saw that her mother was grounded, she was satisfied, so she made such a trick on her mother! has to fall into the well again, and has to pretend to be a good person in front of the emperor, hum, it's really not enough for her to be busy! ”

Concubine Shu bit her lip and slowly exhaled: "Now that this palace is still grounded, how many people in this palace are not falling into the ground?" Just now, the emperor's board killed chickens and scared monkeys, and those guards didn't dare to deal with us in the future. ”

Yun Xi shrank his head, the emperor is determined to rectify Baohua Palace, and those minions still don't follow the trend of praising the high and stepping on the low? Today, he dares to ignore it, and tomorrow he dares to bring the leftovers to Baohua Palace to eat. I don't know how sad it will be in the days to come.

Ruixiang and Donglai went back to Zhaotai Palace together to talk back to Nan Jingpei, Concubine Jiang Xian persuaded him for a while, Nan Jingpei was relieved, and after playing with Princess Yangxiu for a while, he drove back to the imperial study.

When Concubine Jiang Xian saw that the emperor was gone, she raised her head and asked Ruixiang: "How is Baohua Palace?" ”

Ruixiang hooked the corners of her lips and said, "The slave was afraid that outsiders would say that we fell into the well, so I didn't go in." The thing was sent in by Donglai's father-in-law, and listening to Donglai, the old man who pulled Concubine Shu's face was unhappy and wrote it on her face. ”

Concubine Jiang Xian smiled coldly: "Donglai is a celebrity next to the emperor, Concubine Shu relied on her own favor, so she dared to trample on him, and she deserved to end up today." ”

Ruixiang smiled proudly: "Now that Concubine Shu is plummeting, I'm afraid it won't be long before the emperor can't remember who she is." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian lowered her head and pinched Princess Yangxiu's cheek, and said with a smile: "Just now, the emperor also said that Yangxiu's body is getting stronger and stronger. Hongu looked at the little blushing face, and it was indeed much stronger than when he came. ”

"Concubine Shu used to do whatever it took to compete for favor, and she didn't care about the princess's body at all. I heard that the princess was sick in the past, and eight out of ten times it was deliberately done by Concubine Shu, just to lure the emperor to Baohua Palace. Ruixiang said, with a disdainful flat mouth: "According to the slave maid, the emperor has a good saying, Concubine Shu, this mother-in-law, is far worse than you." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian held Yangxiu's little face and kissed it, and said, "I used to be like that to children, but now I give me a brocade jacket in makeup, and who will I show with a motherly and affectionate face?" If you really love Yangxiu so much, you won't raise your child skinny. ”

Ruixiang accepted the teacup used by Nan Jingpei, and said: "Now that the emperor loves to come to our Zhaotai Palace, everyone in the palace has sharpened their heads and drilled to us." Even Zhou Zhaorong and Xu Chongyi, who didn't move around before, sent slaves and maids to talk back, saying that they wanted to visit Niangniang. Look, do you see it or not? ”

Those who tend to be inflammatory, without the slightest sincerity, naturally do not need to pay attention.

Concubine Jiang Xian disagreed, snorted lightly, hugged Princess Yangxiu to the nurse, got up and straightened her sideburns, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yuxiu Palace and take a look at Tian Meiren." ”
