Chapter 14: The Battle of the Harem
Back in the palace, the sun had already set, but fortunately I entered the palace a moment early, otherwise I would have caused unnecessary trouble.
Before I stepped into the Huanyan Pavilion, I heard a sound of scolding and crying, I stood cautiously in the middle of the courtyard, and saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground and trembling, Mu Han knelt in the first place, and was about to ask a question, when I suddenly felt someone pat me on the shoulder.
"Which palace are you from?" It turned out to be a housekeeper, but her face was not good, and she was holding a leather whip in her hand, which was a bit fierce and vicious.
"Slave ......" glanced at a place, and saw Yinyue mouthing at me, clearly "don't say" three words. "Slave maid, deacon palace maid of Huanyan Pavilion."
"It's the little hooves of Huanyan Pavilion again!" Mama snorted contemptuously, "It's as ugly as your master, and you have a face that hurts our mother." ”
I yawned nothing, but it angered her, and I was about to pull it down with my whip, only to hear a coquettish shout: "Stop." ”
It's Concubine Li, as I expected, she was standing on the edge at this time, wearing a goose-yellow Shu embroidered cloak, without powder, her face was unhealthy pale, and she thought that she should have a miscarriage and her vitality had not recovered soon.
"Mama Li, you are so much a subordinate of this palace, how can you be so uneducated? When it reaches the ears of outsiders, it becomes the sin of lax discipline in the palace, and the slaves bite people everywhere. "Concubine Li's phoenix eyes are lightly picked, and she is very charming.
Mama Li was frightened and lost her soul, and hurriedly kowtowed to ask for sin. I was stunned, and then Ying Ying bowed and didn't say a word.
She smiled and fiddled with the gilded armor in her hand, "Who should this palace be, it turned out to be the great nobleman of Mu Meiren, I said how she can ascend to the sky in one step, with you as a nobleman, it is difficult not to fly on the branches." Maybe you're the one who took the bauhinia to harm the palace. It's really smart. ”
Concubine Li pointed the finger at me, and now I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
"My sister doesn't know that my sister has asthma, and sending flowers is a good intention, and there is no harm to it." Mu Han's voice trembled a little, and it seemed that he was trying his best to endure it.
Hearing Mu Han's words, I figured out the roughly, the day before yesterday, the emperor gave Huanyan Pavilion five pots of bauhinia, she was afraid that Concubine Li would be dissatisfied, so she sent three pots to Concubine Li's Yiju Palace, but I didn't expect Concubine Li to suffer from slight asthma, Bauhinia is a taboo for asthma patients, although Mu Han has been a deacon and palace maid of Yiju Palace for so long, but she should not know that Bauhinia is harmful to asthma. Now Concubine Li has mastered Mu Han's handle, and she has always been dissatisfied with her in the past, and she will definitely not let her go easily now.
"Phew! You are also worthy of being called Sister Hongu? If it weren't for the support of the palace in the past, you would have given it to those eunuchs to make the right food, but now it's better to betray the master and go against the palace. You are a lowly foot-washing slave and really delusional to rise step by step? Dream! Concubine Li's face was flushed, she was angry, and she couldn't stop coughing, and the palace maid on the side immediately brought hot tea to calm her down.
I've been in the palace for a few months, and I've seen a lot of intrigues, big and small, but every time I've been treated from an outsider's eye, and it's another thing to get involved in at this time. Beiyu Jinchen's so-called Mingzhe self-preservation is the best at this moment, but I know very well that if Concubine Li lets me go today, he will return it tenfold in the future.
"As far as the slave maid knows, the three pots of Bauhinia are placed in the Yiju Palace Garden, and the air in the garden is circulating, and the wind direction is facing south, while the Yiju Palace Dormitory faces north, and pollen is not easy to enter the room. The day before yesterday, it was washed by the rain, and the flowers were also knocked down, so it should not be harmful to the mother. I pretended to be docile and respectful, and secretly laughed at the original Dexin Emperor Ji who fell into such a miserable situation that she knelt down to all those who shouldn't have kneeled.
Concubine Li snorted lightly, her eyes rolling: "You mean, this palace is wrong to blame your master?" Since you are so protective of the Lord, this palace should fulfill you, Mama Li, you see, the left side of this nobleman's face has been burned like this, is there something missing on the right face? ”
Mama Li snorted and said, "Yes, yes, this little hoof should taste the taste of rouge." ”
Rouge branding, as the name suggests, let the face fall on the rouge mark, to be boiled in hot boiling water iron plate on the face, the criminal law is extremely cruel, seven years ago, the beauty of the first emperor was punished because of the collision with the queen mother, and the face was ruined after jumping into the well to commit suicide.
Yinyue opened her mouth wide and crawled to Concubine Li's feet, "Niangniang, Sister Su Jin didn't mean to offend, please let her go with mercy." ”
"Get out! Come and intercede again, and this palace will punish you together. She kicked Silver Moon away and walked towards me, her raised hand landing on the intact right side of my face, her voice booming.
I didn't laugh angrily, she was a little flustered, ", you dare to laugh!" As soon as the words fell, she raised her hand again, but paused in the air, pointed to the silver earring I was wearing, and asked, "This earring, why is this earring here for you?" ”
"If the mother likes it, the slave can give it to the mother."
She took a step back, thought about it for a long time, and said, "Bengong is unwell, help Bengong go back." ”
"But, Niangniang, this rouge brand is still ......," Mama Li asked unwillingly.
"Shut up, this palace will let you go back, what so much nonsense."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked out of Huanyan Pavilion, and when they disappeared, everyone hugged Mu Han into the bedroom.
I sat on the ground and gently pressed my right cheek, the pain was accompanied by a tingling itch, and I knew that it was swollen without looking in the mirror.
Yinyue wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, came to me, and wanted to touch the place where she had been beaten by Concubine Li, but she didn't dare, so she withdrew her hand and began to cry again. "Sister Su Jin, almost, I won't be able to see you."
The high-ranking concubines in the palace can indeed dispose of some lowly palace maids and eunuchs at will, which makes people panic, but this is an unwritten rule, no one can change it, and their fate is not as good as that of ants.
"It's that serious, silly girl." I rubbed her messy hair and said with a smile: "It's all over, I'm going to the Tai Hospital to ask for some convulsive herbs to boil for the master to drink, you take some ice water, and when I come back, apply it to my face." ”
"Hmm." Only then did she feel relieved.
The weather gradually cooled down, I walked aimlessly in the palace, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs in a hurry passed around.
I took off the earrings and looked at them carefully, and I really couldn't think of why Li Concubine had such a big reaction when she saw it. But the whole thing saved me once, and I began to have some fear of Beiyu Jinchen in my heart, as if everything was under his control. How can I fight him.
The willows are still clinging, and the thin willow branches are like graceful girls fluttering, just like my mood, returning and shaking.
