Chapter 722 Ten Years Chapter 723 Debt Collection
Hongluan smiled at the eldest girl and Chun'er: "You have to go back to Fanghua Palace this time, if you walk around again and fall again, if you break your arms and legs, you will suffer more; It's good to say, if you fall not from your waist but from your neck, well, if you fall from such a high place, you're afraid that your thin neck will break. Two pickers, don't you say? ”
The eldest girl and Chun'er's hearts were cold and cold, and they lowered their heads and replied gently: "Niangniang said, thank you for your concern." "They are scared now, and they really have to be afraid of Hongluan from the bottom of their hearts. No, it should be said that I am afraid of that grandma, where do I dare to say half a word of disrespect to Hongluan?
Hongluan looked at Concubine Hua at this time: "Then let's go, don't let the Empress Dowager wait for a long time." She turned around and left, but gave Hua Concubine and Da Niu Chun'er a chance to say a few words.
Hearing Concubine Hua ask, the eldest girl glanced at Hongluan's back and shook her head after all, she had been in the palace for a long time, and she habitually bowed low and made small before she was too sure; But the resentment in Chun'er's heart came out, and she gritted her teeth and said: "We want to go to Ci'an Palace......" Suddenly a small wind blew, and then the good spring stool suddenly broke, and the two legs were broken for some reason, so that Chun'er, who was lying on it, rolled to the ground and screamed like a pig: "My legs, my waist!" ”
No one did anything, at least Hua Concubine didn't see anyone move the legs of the spring stool, but it broke off without warning, and looking at the fractures, she knew that they were originally extremely strong.
Concubine Hua asked impatiently after getting Chun'er up: "The imperial doctor will come in a while, you better tell me what's going on, the palace is still in a hurry to go to Ci'an Palace." In her eyes, Da Niu Chun'er is just two chess pieces, and her usual politeness is just to win them over and appease them, where is she still in that mood at this time.
Chun'er barely held back the pain when she heard this: "We just wanted to go to Ci'an Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, but we accidentally fell under the rockery, fortunately our sisters were grateful for saving our sisters......"
Before she finished her words, Concubine Hua interrupted: "You have taken the wrong medicine, don't use this kind of words to coax this palace, this palace wants to know the truth, do you understand the truth?!" ”
The big girl saw Chun'er constantly screaming that her legs hurt, and her face turned yellow: "Niangniang, it's really just that we were careless." ”
Hua Concubine stared at Da Niu and Chun'er fiercely, and found that they didn't dare to look at themselves and concluded that what they said was absolutely false, but they couldn't let them tell the truth in a short time, so they had to say hatefully: "If you don't say it, then you can be angry yourself, and this palace doesn't bother to care about you." ”
Although she spoke very happily, she was in a mess along the way, and she really didn't understand what method Hongluan used to make Chun'er and Da Niu so afraid. She knew very well how deep the hatred of those two people was for Hongluan.
Ning Cairen's face was not very good-looking, she looked back at the backs of Chun'er and Da Niu, and she was also guessing in her heart the reason why Chun'er and Da Niu didn't dare to tell the truth, and at the same time, she was a little suspicious that this was really the palace person who had been respectful in front of her? The more things she couldn't figure out, the more uneasy she felt, and she couldn't help but feel a little fear in her heart: a little fear because she couldn't see through it.
Da Niu and Chun'er returned to Fanghua Palace and sent away the people of Shanggong, they only exhaled softly at this time and looked at each other, and did not rush back to their rooms to wait for the imperial doctor to come, but looked at the way and sighed at the same time.
"I understood today, we are chess pieces, and we are worthless chess pieces." Chun'er's forehead was full of cold sweat: "Life and death are not taken to heart at all, and those things that seek death will fall on our heads." She already hated Concubine Hua at this time: "In the end, she didn't even have a decent word." ”
The big girl looked at her and smiled bitterly: "That's the case, this is the palace!" You will slowly understand that as long as you are not thicker than other people's thighs, then you can only bow your head and accept your fate; It's just that we're going to change our minds, and if we continue like this, we'll lose our lives, so what do we say about revenge? Besides, what I hope more is to have a good life, if we can get the emperor's blue eyes, then we can really become nobles in the palace, otherwise we will never be able to really raise our heads in the palace. ”
Chun'er looked at the girl: "She Hongluan can do it, of course we can do it." The mention of Hongluan made their faces change, and she looked at her leg: "I think it should really be broken, like, just like she said." ”
The girl was silent for a while: "She said, as long as we dare to talk nonsense, our legs will be broken, and you really shouldn't open your mouth; You know, the most terrible people in the palace are grandma, they are people who have lived in the palace all their lives, you never know what methods they have. What's more, it is not allowed for the women in the palace to be martial. ”
She looked left and right with some fear: "That grandma doesn't seem to have done anything, but you and I know in our hearts, will we fall off the rockery for no reason?" And it's strange with our palace people, who were waiting for us under the rockery, but in the end they became like that. Think about it, it's really terrible, I think there is no big mistake in acting carefully in the future, let go of the rest first, and live our lives in peace first. ”
"You really have to be able to put it down?" Chun'er was a little unwilling: "I can't see Wu Hongluan flying on the branches and turning into a phoenix, I really can't wait to exchange everything for her falling on the muddy ground, and she will never be able to turn over." ”
The girl was silent for a while before she said, "The gentleman takes revenge." She glanced at Chun'er: "If you want to live in the palace, the first thing you have to learn is to endure, and those who can't endure it have only a dead end." Now these are really nothing, how long have you been in the Huanyi Courtyard, you must know that my life in the palace slave courtyard was no different from the Huanyi Courtyard, and I was worried about my life and death every day. ”
Chun'er was silent for a while: "Okay, listen to my sister." ”
The big girl sighed: "It's just that now we don't want to do it, but we don't necessarily have to do it, do you think Hua Concubine Niangniang will let us go like this?" Have you forgotten why we became the nobles of the palace? Alas, take it one step at a time, accidents are always inevitable when we are not in control of our own destiny. ”
She went back to the room after the old man in the palace finished speaking, and I believe that Chun'er will understand sooner or later. At this time, Hongluan is definitely not something they can deal with: today Hongluan let them go so easily, she should have thought that there would be some backhand, it was too careless.
The biggest loss is that her position is too low, whether it is the Empress Dowager or Hongluan, they are all mountain-like existences on her head; If she was also a concubine or even a concubine now, she would never be so at the mercy of others.
Chapter 723 Debt Collection
When the eldest girl and Chun'er entered the house separately, Hongluan also stepped into Ci'an Palace with Hua Concubine and others.
The Empress Dowager sat on the top of the main hall and squinted her eyes slightly to look at Hongluan, and there was no fear on Hongluan's face, which made her brows frown slightly, but her eyes flashed with joy: "Pure noble concubine, your courage is not small." ”
Hongluan smiled: "It's always been not small, the Empress Dowager should have known about it, right?" Speaking of which, the concubine has not served the Empress Dowager for a long time, so let the concubine serve tea to the Empress Dowager today. After she finished speaking, she walked over and naturally took Shang Yi's place.
Concubine Hua's eyes were on fire: "The Empress Dowager is the master of the concubine, and the pure noble concubine broke into the concubine's palace for no reason and beat the concubine like this." She cried and fell to the ground as she spoke: "It's just a matter of beating a concubine, and you still use needles to ......."
"The Empress Dowager, please be the master of the concubine, the pure concubine should really give our sisters justice." Ning Cairen interrupted Concubine Hua's words and glared at her fiercely and motioned for her not to speak again. How can you say the matter of using a needle, you must know that the needle is not owned by Hongluan, nor was it brought by Hongluan, and the person who is at fault under careful investigation is still the Shangguan family who is affected by Hua Concubine.
Hua Concubine knew that she was in a hurry and almost said the wrong thing, so she kowtowed to Ning Cairen at the same time and begged the Queen Mother to make the decision for her, although the pain in her body was unbearable, she could only think of revenge in the future.
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Hua and frowned, compared to Ning Cairen, she looked much better, there were only a few finger marks on her face, her hair and dress were so messy, and she couldn't see any other injuries. Listening to what she said, Hongluan also beat her, but there were no blood stains on her dress, and of course the beating was not too heavy.
Looking at Ning Cairen, who looked much more embarrassed than Hua Concubine, the Empress Dowager was even more dissatisfied with Hua Concubine: Ning Cairen's calmness is much more pleasing to the eye than Hua Concubine's crying, and it is also more of the grace that a queen should have.
Hongluan put the tea in the hands of the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, what you said in the palace some time ago, do you want to enslave the emperor to know?" She looked at the Queen Mother with a gentle smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
The Empress Dowager was in a bad mood, and met Hongluan's gaze: "Haven't you been gifted to the emperor?" She believed it seven or eight points, because the emperor had not been at all strange in recent days, which made her feel a lot more relieved. Because of this, she wants to get rid of Hongluan faster, and she really can't wait.
Hongluan waved her skirt: "I sweated all the way." The Empress Dowager didn't give an order, how could the concubine say something to the emperor indiscriminately? Perhaps, the Empress Dowager wanted to say to the emperor herself, and the concubine thought it was the best. After she finished speaking, she beat her waist again, completely ignoring Hua Concubine and Ning Cairen who were kneeling on the ground.
Hua Concubine didn't expect that her crying couldn't stand up to Hongluan's words, she really suspected that the person sitting above was not her aunt and grandmother: "The Empress Dowager, please call the shots for the concubine; The pure noble concubine ignored the palace rules...... "Her tears dripped on the thick red carpet, and she wanted to use her tears to make the Empress Dowager understand how much she had been wronged."
Ning Cairen whispered: "You save it, it's better to say a few words." She is a good word, but unfortunately Concubine Hua can't listen to it.
The Empress Dowager looked up and frowned: "What kind of system, do you know how to see people like this in the palace?" If you don't go in and clean up and come back, the emperor is going to come to mourn for dinner here today, and it is a big sin to lose his honor in front of the king. After she finished drinking and reprimanding Hua Concubine, she handed the tea to Hongluan again: "Good tea, reward." ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so kind to Hongluan, and allowed her to serve by her side, Concubine Hua opened her mouth wide, if it wasn't for Ning Cairen pulling her, she would really forget to go down to change her clothes and freshen up; Even if she retreated, she looked at Ning Cairen: "What if we can see the emperor?" ”
Ning Cairen glanced at her: "I don't know what will happen when you see you, but it's always a good thing for me to see the emperor." After she finished speaking, she left Hua Concubine and went with Shang Yi, and left Hua Concubine to Nushi to take care of.
Hua Concubine immediately stared at Ning Cairen's back for a long time, and then said calmly: "There is a history of labor girls, hard work." She usually said that after her hard work, someone would take out silver or objects to reward people, but today her personal palace people didn't seem to hear it, and didn't take out anything to give it to her at all.
This made Hua Concubine glare at her very dissatisfied, but she saw that the personal palace man gently shook her head and patted her sleeve and shook her head, indicating that there was nothing on her. It was only at this time that Hua Concubine remembered that she had given everything she had to Hongluan, and now there was nothing to reward people at all.
In desperation, she reached out and took off the hairpin on her head: "I was so angry today that I didn't take anything with me, this hairpin ......"
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi rushed over and kowtowed: "Niangniang, our Niangniang said that you should hand over all our Niangniang's things to the little one and bring them back to her." After speaking, his gaze turned on Hua Concubine's hand: "All the ornaments on Niangniang's body now belong to our mother, as for the clothes, we will give them to Niangniang, and there is no need to let the small ones take them back." ”
Hua Concubine's hand held the gold hairpin in her hand fiercely, she really didn't expect Wu Hongluan to be so desperate, and she dared to ask her for head jewelry in Ci'an Palace, especially now that she really lost a lot of face, she immediately threw the gold hairpin in her hand on the ground: "Here you go." ”
Then she threw the ornaments on her head, wrists, and waist to the ground, and turned around and said angrily, "Go." Female history today hard Ming'er, I ask for the grace of the Queen Mother, and reward you with a nine-grade faith. She was also ridiculing Hongluan when she said this.
Xiao Shunzi kept a loud voice: "Niangniang, our Niangniang still has a letter to Niangniang." ”
Concubine Hua turned around angrily: "Get out!" After drinking, he changed his mind again, and waved his hand to let the personal palace maid go over to get the letter: "Bring it, this palace wants to see what else she has to say to this palace." She wanted to see if she could find the mistake in Hongluan's note, so that she could have a chance to "repay" Hongluan.
After glancing at the letter, she hatefully reached out and tore off the gold Yingluo hanging around her neck, as well as the jade Buddha she brought close to her, and threw it on Xiao Shunzi, and without saying a word, she held the hand of the palace person with a blue face and left. She didn't even look at the female history, and she didn't plan to show favor again, because she really lost face today, and if she showed favor to a female history, it would only make people look down on her.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly after seeing what Xiao Shunzi gave to Hongluan: "These things ......" She knows them, and it seems that they are still on Hua Concubine just now, and there is obviously a mark of Shangguan's family on it.
Hongluan casually put the things in his sleeve pocket: "It's nothing, just now the concubine just asked him to collect debts on my behalf, I'm not used to people taking my things and not paying them back." ”
There is a third more.
