Chapter 82: Harming others will not end up harming oneself
There is Lansheng Qingxi, leaning freely with the wind. I am afraid that the high place will not be cold, and I will sigh and sigh. I am willing to lend the moon to you, and I can't bear to see the sadness leave.
But it was Xiumu who hated a lot, and after a few gossips, he couldn't help but cry in the dark. The belly sword mouth honey, the wheel falls on the red wall and green sky, and in the silent place, Han Zhaoyi laughs.
"Don't be nervous, there are no gossips, my brother just reminds you to be cautious in your words and deeds."
Murong Ningyan nodded again and again, and Murong Zifeng continued: "Yesterday scared my brother to death, I know that you are a person of great affection, and it is reasonable to miss Xiao Gongzi, but he is no longer alive, people cannot be resurrected after death, you have to mourn, don't think about it in the future, don't hurt your body, you have to remember that you are already pregnant with a dragon fetus, not to mention that the emperor has always treated you without two hearts, where do you see the son of heaven favoring a person?" Yan'er should think twice before acting in the future, and don't hurt the emperor's heart again. ”
"What my brother said is very true, and Yan'er remembers it in his heart!" Murong Ningyan lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, letting his brother count down, for the first time in so long, his brother blamed himself like today, it seemed that he had really gone too far.
Murong Zifeng left the Yaoguang Palace and walked a few steps to keep up with the emperor, but fortunately, the emperor didn't ask much and walked straight towards Jingyang Palace.
In Jingyang Palace, Han Zhaoyi and Concubine De were sitting in front of the charcoal fire and leisurely knocking melon seeds, their long nails going freely in front of their smooth faces, which made people really worry that if they were not careful, they would cut their faces.
"Sister, why don't you knock melon seeds? There is no need to be so dignified, the emperor will not come to us anyway. Han Zhaoyi glanced at Concubine De and said in a strange manner.
"Sister, you eat, sister, I'm old, I'm not as young as you, I don't have good digestion, and I don't want to eat omnivorous." Concubine De seemed to be thoughtful, and seemed to be a little uneasy, where did she get the mind to knock melon seeds?
Outside the door, the emperor grabbed Murong Zifeng's hand and was about to lift the curtain, only to hear Han Zhaoyi's delicate voice bewitching from inside: "Look at what my sister said, why are you old?" Take good care of it and don't say frustrating words, maybe the demon girl will fall out of favor one day, phew! I don't know if it's in the melon seed shell or the people, the emperor's face is already very ugly when he hears it.
"Sister, I always feel that it's inappropriate to do that, or you will order someone to call Xue Qing back, and make something out of nothing, and let the saint know that you are going to cause trouble." Concubine De said worriedly.
As soon as Han Zhaoyi heard Concubine De say that this matter was inappropriate, she asked her to recall the plan that had already begun. Immediately angrily threw a handful of melon seeds back into the melon seed plate, and fought back loudly: "Sister, if it weren't for the fact that you are always so timid and afraid of things, and you can't play tricks, this back position would have been yours a long time ago, how could it be her turn to enjoy the holy grace alone?" ”
In addition to gossiping, Han Zhaoyi is knocking melon seeds, and he can't be idle for a while, and the melon seeds he just threw back are grabbed back and continue to knock.
Concubine De said calmly: "To say a word of conscience, the queen is generous, with thousands of manners, and talented, in this harem we are unmatched, deeply favored by His Majesty, the mother is understandable in the world, this palace sighs that it is better to be convinced." ”
"Yo, when did Concubine De become so humble and benevolent? If you don't fight, you won't fight, why bother to grow other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige? A handful of melon seeds were thrown into the plate again, and due to the excessive strength, many melon seeds jumped out of the plate and scattered all over the ground, and then only listened to the horn and clapped his hands a few times.
"Don't speculate, my sister has retired!" Han Zhaoyi stood up with a cold face and turned around to leave, when the door curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside.
"Stop!" I saw that the person who opened the curtain was none other than the emperor who missed him day and night, and the people in the house were surprised and delighted, so frightened that Han Zhaoyi by the door took several steps back, and hurriedly knelt down with Concubine De to say goodbye.
Han Zhaoyi knelt on the ground and covered her face with her sleeves, squeezing her eyebrows at Concubine De, meaning that she didn't know if she heard what she said just now.
Concubine De thought to herself, damn Han Zhaoyi, how long has it been since the saint has been to Jingyang Palace? Today, I don't know which life my ancestors have accumulated virtue, and the emperor actually stepped into my Jingyang Palace, but don't let Han Zhaoyi ruin the good things of the palace, so he quickly knelt down to worship the emperor.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Hail Jin'an! His Majesty is coming, and he is not welcomed. Early in the morning, there were magpies making noise in front of the door, and the concubines knew that His Majesty would come. The emperor's sudden visit made Concubine De feel flattered, really like a magpie on the branch, as if she had endless words.
"Concubine De, you are wrong, it's not that the magpie called Your Majesty to come, it's that I think the crows are noisy." After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Han Zhaoyi on the ground with his eyes.
Han Zhaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, was very self-aware and understood that the emperor was scolding her. Suddenly trembling like chaff, Concubine De instantly understood that the emperor's intention to come to Jingyang Palace today, the fire that had just ignited in her heart was extinguished at once.
"Manager Zeng? The concubines in my dignified Tang harem, are they still short of clothes and less to wear? Or is there a lack of charcoal? The emperor was furious.
"If you go back to Your Majesty, the food and clothing of each concubine will be distributed in full every month."
"In this case, why is Han Zhaoyi shivering with cold, and she doesn't have her own dormitory, so she runs to Concubine De to tell right and wrong and chew the root of her tongue when she has nothing to do? Since Han Zhaoyi has nothing to do and no palace, then go to the Huanyi Bureau to report, and she won't feel cold when she starts working, and she won't have time to talk about wrong. ”
"Your Majesty is gracious, don't let the concubine go to the Huanyi Bureau, the concubine knows that she is wrong, those words are all made up by the concubine, out of nothing, Your Majesty is gracious!"
"Concubine?" His Majesty patted his head, "Yes, look at my memory, how can I let the concubine go to the Huanyi Bureau?" ”
Hearing the emperor say this, Han Zhaoyi seemed to see hope, her face turned from worry to joy, and she nodded again and again, waiting for the emperor to pardon her next. Sure enough, the emperor continued: "Manager Zeng, pass on my will, remove Han Zhaoyi's title, demote him to a palace maid, scold fifty boards, and send him to the Huanyi Bureau." ”
Outside the house, the north wind was howling, the sky was icy and snowy, and Han Zhaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground inside the house, was sweating profusely.
As soon as the emperor gave an order, someone came in and dragged away Han Zhaoyi, who was howling like a pig.
"Concubine De, I see that your palace is too spacious, it seems deserted to live alone, you are also a lively person, I will fulfill you, go to Chuxiu Palace to stay!" The emperor looked at Concubine De coldly.
Then he turned his head to Grandpa Zeng and said: "Manager Zeng, pass on my will, remove Concubine De, demote me to a talented woman, and send it to Chuxiu Palace to study the palace rules well." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine De was unexpectedly calm, without too much defense, calmly changed into a gorgeous concubine dress, and followed the palace people to Chuxiu Palace in plain clothes. Concubine De thought to herself, there is no place for the emperor, not everywhere she lives, whether she goes to Chuxiu Palace, there are always a few people to talk to.
After disposing of these two annoying concubines, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and asked Murong Zifeng to rest, and he was going to Yongmu Palace to worship the Buddha and chant sutras.
At this time, the emperor was very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that the bodhisattva's heartfelt self was not punished more severely for the concubines? I want to be blessed and forgiven by the Buddha.
The door of the Huanyi Bureau was opened, and the female officer pushed and shoved the crying woman in, only to see that she was covered in blood, and her soaked clothes were tattered, and she looked like she had been hit by the board. "Stay honest!" Then he whispered to a female officer, locked the door and went out.
The female official is five big and three thick, with a face full of meat, if she doesn't wear a woman's clothes, how can she look like a man. She didn't know what she had eaten, she hugged her arms and picked her teeth, while going around Han Zhaoyi, looking at her in a circle like picking livestock in a vegetable farm, no, now she is no longer Zhaoyi, she can only call her name.
"What's your name? Why did you come to the Huanyi Bureau? ”
Han Zhaoyi, who was stunned, did not squeak.
Seeing that there was no response to the questioning, the female officer raised her round legs, kicked Han Zhaoyi from behind in the crook of her legs, and with a plop, Han Zhaoyi knelt on the ground where the sewage flowed.
"Do you dare to answer the question? I think you're tired of being alive, pretending to be high in the wrong place, and you don't want to see who should care here? Wake up! Do you think you are still a high-minded and pampered concubine? Hahaha! Then another kick was given to Han Zhaoyi's back, and her whole body fell into the dirty puddle.
"Back to the words of the female official, the slave maid is called Han Miaoling, because she made something out of nothing, the queen of the arrangement was demoted here."
"How it's arranged, let's tell the truth." Maybe it's because I've been in this boring Huanyi Bureau for a long time, and the female officer has become interested in this matter.
Han Miaoling didn't know what the female official's intentions were, thinking that she was testing her and talking nonsense, so she only shook her head like a drum.
"Huh? Dare to disobey my orders? Do you still want to suffer? As she spoke, the female officer grabbed her fleshy fist and prepared to smash it at Han Miaoling.
"The slave and maid will say, the female officer spares her life!"
"If you're afraid of being beaten, you'll be recruited from the truth!" Someone dragged a chair for the female officer, and she sat down heavily, as if listening to the story.
Han then told how to arrange the queen's before and after.
"Sure enough, the poor person must have something to hate, and you dare to make up the queen's nonsense, you are not small, you deserve it!" The female officer snorted hatefully at Han Miaoling on the ground.
The female officer dragged over a chair, stepped on one foot, propped her arm on that leg as if weak, and said, "Wouldn't it be better to be interested in it earlier?" Xiaoju, bring her clean clothes to change into, this is covered in blood, and it is disgusting to look at. Cut off that handful of chicken seeds, how can you work for such a long time? Remember! Whether you were a noble person or a Zhaoyi before, since you are here, you are a sinner, in addition to working or working, if you dare to tell the truth again, I think you have lived enough. ”
"Obey the teachings of adults, and the little ones will never dare again!" Han struggled to get up from the stinky puddle, but couldn't do anything.
My body was shivering from the cold, and I just passed out after being hit by fifty boards, and then I was poured a bucket of cold water before I woke up and was dragged into the Huanyi Bureau. In the cold winter wax moon, the blood and water on the clothes have frozen at this time, and the skin has long been unconscious, which makes people feel the pain of piercing their hearts when they look at it.
The female officer glanced at a woman in a raccoon cloth, and the woman in a raccoon cloth stepped forward to help Han up. Han nodded at her gratefully, and then limped in with Xiaoju to change clothes.
Looking at the back in the distance, the female official sighed and said, "I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place?" If you want to get more, you will only lose more by using improper means. This is called the time in life that must be had, and the life when there is no time to force it! ”
