Chapter 9: The Castle of Hibiscus (2)
On that day, I went to visit Jinyan in the Feiluan Pavilion, and it happened that Jinyan was chanting, so I waited for her in the side pavilion because it was inconvenient to disturb.
Because he saw Jinyan's personal palace maid Youlian wanting to speak when serving tea, he left her to inquire in detail, and only then did he know that Jinyan had suffered a lot of idle anger from Li Yanniang for no reason recently.
When Youlian reported to me, there was still a look of indignation on her face, and she said: "Guifei Niangniang, my young lady has always been reluctant to argue with others, and she is more tolerant in case of trouble, but Li Xiuyi is really too deceitful. ”
After careful questioning, the Shang Palace Bureau added new decorations to the palace concubines according to the regulations, and Si Bao Si took the materials according to the position of the concubines to make hairpin ring accessories for the New Year. On that day, Li Yanniang went to Sibao Sizhong and took a fancy to a phoenix hairpin and was going to take it away. The female official of Si Bao Si was made for Jinyan by the Queen Mother's own order, and the jewelry used was also given by the Queen Mother. Therefore, he didn't dare to obey his fate, and knelt down and begged Li Yanniang for another one.
Li Yanniang insisted that this hairpin was the ritual used by the concubines of the three grades, and Jinyan was only from the three grades of grooming, and had no right to wear it, not to mention that the female official in the Si Bao Division was confused, deceived her as the head of the palace, made a big fuss in the Si Bao Si, and finally forcibly took Feng Hai away.
Si Baosi and the female officials had no choice but to report the matter to Jingyi, Jingyi was not angry and brought people to the Yingxian Palace to ask Li Yanniang for the blame, not wanting to be robbed by Li Yanniang for a while, and even said that she had a son as the king, but Jingyi only had a daughter.
I didn't even know about this, I turned around and asked Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu said: "Back to Niangniang, this matter has been six or seven days, because the weather has become cold recently, Niangniang's old illness has attacked, Zhaoyi Niangniang is afraid that you will know that you are troubled and sick, so she did not let us report." ”
"Then how was this matter handled?" Thinking about it, the phoenix hairpin was customized by the Queen Mother for Jinyan, and this Li Yanniang took it for nothing, if the Queen Mother asked what to do, it would be good.
Zhiqiu said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang has always been benevolent, how can Li Xiuyi be articulate, snatch white, and have already been angry, and see that the hairpin is made of sapphire with a long tassel and a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, which can only be worn by concubines above the third grade...... It's just that the Queen Mother has not dared to know about this matter so far, and the Shanggong Bureau is also embarrassed......"
Well, I know in my heart that this long tassel five-tailed phoenix hairpin, according to Jinyan's position as a third-grade person, really has no right to wear it, even if the queen mother wants to give it to her, it seems that there is no basis for it now. And Jingyi went to reason with Li Yanniang, if the Tao was customized by the Queen Mother, it seemed that it would not be reasonable on the face, if it was said that the Queen Mother was made by Jinyan, it would not be clear that the Queen Mother would take the lead against the palace system. This Li Yanniang probably saw this, so she dared to take it so strongly, I really didn't expect her to become so slippery now?
But this matter can't be just settled, not to mention what will happen if the Queen Mother knows, just with Li Yanniang's behavior, I can't just spare her like this.
Subsequently, I discussed this matter with Jinyan, and Jinyan didn't take these things outside her body to heart, but only talked about the Queen Mother, who said that this kind of atmosphere in the harem could not grow. In fact, in my opinion, it is clear that she Li Yanniang openly provoked me, the concubine who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, if she doesn't give her some powerful looks, she may not have to do anything more excessive in the future.
I made up my mind, and the next day I summoned Deng Shanggong of the Shanggong Bureau and Xie Sibao of Sibaosi, and took me six palace maids from Changchun Palace, and Jingyi and her entourage maids in the palace, and the group went to Yingxian Palace.
Thinking that Li Yanniang had never seen me come to her palace with such fanfare, she was still forced to calm down at first, and when I asked about the five-tailed phoenix hairpin, she began to show a panicked look on her face, but she was still there and blindly forced.
I said to her: "Li Xiuyi, you are now the head of the first palace, and you entered the palace before me, this palace never presses you with your position on weekdays, but if you still blindly mess around today, don't blame me......"
"The concubine is so majestic, just for the sake of breaking the hairpin, she brought these people to me to ask the master of the fairy palace to ask for guilt, if one day in the future, the phoenix seal is in hand, then we concubines are afraid that there will be no place to bury them."
"Hehe, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules." I said: "The people of the harem follow the palace rules, even if you are the queen, you still have to abide by the palace rules, listen to Li Xiuyi's meaning, as long as the position is high, can you not abide by the palace rules?" ”
"You...... I, I didn't mean that! Li Yanniang was speechless, blushing for a long time, and suddenly changed her words, and said: "As the concubine Niangniang said, the concubines of the harem, when according to the palace rules, then the phoenix hairpin taken by the palace from the Si Bao Division is also based on its own position, and these five-tailed phoenixes are what can be worn by concubines above the third grade." ”
"That's true, it's just that there must be a first come and first come in everything, although this hairpin can be worn above the third grade, Anzhi is not prepared for the palace, or is it prepared for Sister Zhaoyi? Could it be that you have a three-grade cultivation ritual and peace of mind to compare with us? I still had a gentle smile on my face, but there was a little more intensity in my words.
"Nonsense, Xie Mingyue of Si Baosi that day clearly said that it was Su Jinyan's thing, and I just ......" Li Yanniang said for a while.
"Oh, it turns out that this is Su Xiurong's hairpin!" I suddenly realized that I said to Zhiqiu: "Ye Shanggong, then you went to invite Su Xiurong to come, and she still needs to come forward to discuss today's matter." ”
Zhiqiu was ordered to leave, and Li Yanniang still wanted to chatter, but I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and I took care of myself and chatted with Jingyi over tea, deaf to me.
A cup of tea, Jinyan came belatedly.
I got up and sat with her, and ordered Ming'er to serve fragrant tea, and Fang Zhengse said to Sibao Xie Mingyue: "Xie Sibao, Li Xiuyi said that the five-tailed phoenix hairpin is Su Xiurong's thing, and you will tell the ins and outs of this matter again in 1510." ”
Xie Mingyue got up and saluted: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, this five-tailed phoenix hairpin is made by the Queen Mother's personal order Si Baosi, as for whether it is made by Su Xiurong, the lower officials really don't know." ”
"Oh, then why did Li Xiuyi keep saying that this hairpin was Su Xiurong's thing, and it was made in violation of the system?"
"The lower officials don't know, the lower officials are really afraid." Xie Mingyue is a striking person, lying on the ground here and being terrified.
"Okay, you're colluding. I, I'm going to report to the emperor......" Li Yanniang's situation was not good, and she wanted to spill
I shouted: "Li Xiuyi, you are the princess of the princess, and you should take care of your identity to some extent." ”
Xu was my fierce words that shocked Li Yanniang, she actually stopped and looked at me blankly.
I glanced at Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu willingly stepped forward and took the brocade box containing the five-tailed phoenix hairpin from Li Yanniang's palace maid's hand.
"You...... You ......" Li Yanniang saw that Feng Hai was snatched away, and pointed at me speechless.
"Li Xiuyi, Si Baosi was ordered to make decorations, and after completion, they will be handed over to my Changchun Palace, and under the New Year's Festival, Fang will give the concubines according to the orders of the emperor and the queen mother. However, if you are a first-time offender, from today onwards, stay in Yingxian Palace and think about it! So saying, he led the heads of the people and walked out without looking back.
When Fang Xing reached the gate, he could hear the sound of frequent banging and smashing things in the hall behind him, thinking that Li Yan was crazy and angry with the things in her palace.
After sending away the people of the Shanggong Bureau, I returned to the Changchun Hall with Jingyi and Jinyan. Jingyi smiled at me and said, "I didn't expect that Rui'er was so powerful, that Li Yanniang was so stunned by you that she couldn't even say anything." ”
Jin Yan also smiled: "I can see what Zhonggong Fengwei is today." It's really, scary! He patted his chest and smiled.
Seeing the two of them like this, I was angry and funny, and said: "Today, for you, I pretended to be a female tiger for you to be angry, but I didn't expect to be teased by you, which is really good and not rewarded." ”
"Ouch, how dare we make fun of Niangniang, aren't we afraid that we will be annoyed for a while and be grounded to ......" Jingyi is the most unserious, or mouthless nonsense.
laughed with the two of her, and then dispersed.
In the evening, Bao Yuan came to my palace, and I told him about the ban on Li Yanniang's feet today. Bao Yuan listened quietly, and didn't say anything, only said that Li Yanniang's words and deeds were too much, and a small punishment and a big precept should also be. What's more, although I am not sealed, I can master the affairs of the six palaces, and it is very good to do things like this.
The matter was then known to the Queen Mother. Listening to Jinyan said, the Queen Mother was very appreciative of my handling that day, and said straight that I had all her face, and even said that I had the etiquette of the middle palace. In this case, I only laughed when I heard it, and now my reputation in the middle palace is really meaningless.
