Chapter 107: Punished
Xiang Xiaoqin didn't expect the queen to slap her face like this, she lowered her head aggrievedly, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked at the emperor with her eyes from time to time, hoping that the emperor would see her grievances and say a few words for her.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't seem to exist at all when Xiang Xiaoqin didn't exist at all, and didn't give her a look, but looked at Jia Min and raised his hand to signal her to continue.
Jia Min ignored Xiang Xiaoqin's knife-like eyes, and told the truth about what happened in the Hongxuan Hall just now, without a trace of personal feelings, as if a bystander was telling what she saw.
"Your Majesty! The concubine's parents treat the concubine with a thousand pampering, and the concubine also deeply feels the grace of her parents' nurturing, and she dare not say how filial she is to her parents, but she thinks that she has never done anything disobedient to her parents, please ask the emperor to investigate. If the concubine's reputation is ruined because of this, wouldn't it also ruin the Lin family's reputation for hundreds of years, how can she still have the face to see the husband of the concubine, even if she is dead, the concubine has no face to see the ancestors of the Lin family! The concubine begged the emperor to find out the truth and return the concubine to innocence, if it weren't today, there would be all kinds of rumors about the concubine's unfilial piety in the capital, then the concubine would have a hundred mouths and couldn't say it clearly! Where Jia Min knelt, his voice was a little choked, but he was also stubborn, and his eyes looked firmly at the emperor on the high seat.
"Your Majesty! Wechen's wife voluntarily went to the Buddha Hall to pray for Wechen, how can people say that she was grounded because she was a little girl? Wechen's wife has always been in poor health, and she rarely came out and walked around before that, she was frightened by Wechen when she was young, but now that she is older, she wants to live a quiet life, why is she still gossiped like this? Your Majesty, Weichen admits that he has never offended anyone, and he doesn't know why he was so targeted. This is not only to ruin the reputation of the little girl, but also to provoke the relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family, which is obviously uneasy and kind! After Jia Daishan listened to Jia Min's narration, his face was flushed with anger, and he took the knife to skim Jin Xianghou as he spoke.
The emperor sank like water, and after being silent for a moment, he asked in a cold voice, "Where is the Marquis of Jinxiang?" ”
"Wechen is here!" Marquis Jin Xianghou hurriedly knelt down and replied, and he had already scolded the stupid woman in his heart thousands of times. Being used by someone without knowing it, and letting people grab the handle, it's really stupid and hopeless!
"Do you know about this?"
Marquis Jinxiang said solemnly: "The emperor is clear, Weichen does not know, Weichen and Rong Guogong have been in the same robe for many years, there is no grievance, Rong Guogong is the humerus minister of the court, loyal to the emperor, and has made great contributions to Daming, and Weichen has always been very respectful to Rong Guogong." There is no disrespect for Rong Guogong! Weichen was guilty of not teaching his wife well, so that she spoke ill of her mouth for no reason. Wechen apologized to Rong Guogong and Mrs. Lin, committing the seven major sins of tongue, Wechen will order the cheap to go to the family temple and chant the scriptures every day to atone for his sins! ”
Mrs. Jinxianghou knew in her heart that Jinxianghou was ruthless to herself, but she never imagined that he would announce in front of so many people that he would let him go to the family temple to practice. In this way, everyone knows that she was punished to go to the family temple for offending Jia Min, so will she still have a chance to come out of the family temple? Mrs. Jinxianghou glanced at Jinxianghou in despair and closed her eyes weakly. Once she was sent to the family temple, her two daughters would be looked down upon, the second daughter was okay, she had already married the fourth prince, but the eldest daughter, who had ruined her reputation because of the rejection of her proposal to Lin Ruhai, was originally going to let her marry far away and return to her hometown, so that the eldest daughter's marriage would be even more difficult. She also wanted to be angry with Jia Min for her two daughters, but now, not only did she not get angry for her daughter, but she also caused her daughter to be burdened by her reputation, and no one looked down on her and affected the marriage.
The emperor glanced at Marquis Jinxiang expressionlessly, this playmate who grew up together since childhood is no longer the person who is loyal to him, although he is still obedient to himself, but how much sincerity is there? The emperor talked in his heart, and then looked at Jia Daishan, who was looking at the Marquis of Jinxiang very angrily, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Jia Daishan was still the same Jia Daishan before, and he did not disappoint him.
The queen saw that the emperor was distracted, so he gently pulled off his sleeve, the emperor came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the queen, and saw the concern in her eyes, the emperor smiled with satisfaction, sure enough, no woman can be trusted, only the queen is as sincere as ever to him.
The emperor said coldly: "I don't care how Marquis Jinxiang manages his own affairs. But I remind you, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, the Qi family is in second place, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? ”
"Wechen Xie Emperor taught, Wechen must manage the inner house well, and there will be no more instability in the inner house!" Marquis Jinxiang felt that the emperor was warning him that his future actions would be paid special attention to by the emperor.
"Although the Marquis of Jinxiang has already said that he will punish Mrs. Marquis Jinxiang, but that is the family law, and the national law is also unforgivable! Passing on my will, Mrs. Jinxiang Marquis is picking quarrels and provoking trouble in the palace, opening her mouth for twenty, and she will not be allowed to enter the palace again! ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, two eunuchs walked in outside the hall, and they stepped forward and dragged Mrs. Jinxiang to the outside of the Hongxuan Palace. Mrs. Jinxiang was completely frightened by the emperor's order, and did not react at all, allowing the two eunuchs to drag her out of the Hongxuan Palace.
Xiang Xiaoqin regretted it at this time, she shouldn't have listened to Xiuyun's words, enjoyed the emperor's favor in the palace, and tried to capture the emperor's heart and give birth to a prince as soon as possible, so that she could have confidence in the palace. Why do you have to calculate Jia Min? Looking at Mrs. Jinxiang who was dragged away, she had an ominous premonition, and next, the emperor might have to punish her.
Xiang Xiaoqin's premonition was quickly confirmed, and the emperor sneered ruthlessly, and said to Xiang Xiaoqin: "Xiang Concubine! Although Mrs. Jinxianghou is wrong, in the final analysis, she is still mistaken by you! If everything is calm after today, you will be grounded for half a year, if I hear a trace of rumors about Mrs. Lin's badness......" Xiang Xiaoqin trembled like chaff, she rested her forehead on the ground, hoping that the rumors had not yet spread, so that she would have a chance to withdraw the order, hoping that the emperor would be able to open up to her in the past, but then the emperor's words made her fall into the ice cave completely. "If someone spreads the rumor of Mrs. Lin tomorrow, I will definitely investigate the root cause, and if it finally finds out about you, you will be a common citizen from now on, and you will be in the cold palace!"
