Chunxi's proud eyes weakened a little, she knelt between Duan Concubine and Lan Qi, pulled Duan Concubine's sleeve with one hand and called Eniang, and pulled Lan Qi with the other hand and said: "Eniang, don't blame the nobles, it is the sons and daughters who seek the virtues and nobles, and the sons will never dare anymore, the sons have the daughters in their hearts, don't misunderstand." ”

Duan Concubine rubbed her head, and it was inconvenient to say that she let their biological mother and daughter meet, but sighed: "Girl, what are you doing if you cheat the nobles, your mother has returned to the palace, how will you live in the future?" You are the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, so naturally you don't have such troubles, but ......"

Before the words were finished, the sound of stepping on the floor tiles at the bottom of the flower pot sounded, and four or five big palace ladies with heads and faces hugged the queen mother and came out. ”

But I heard the Empress Dowager say angrily: "It's better to be cooler, and you can be clearer when you kneel." ”

As she spoke, the palace maids all retreated, and the queen mother came back from nowhere, saying that she had settled a few old ladies in the clan, and saw a few people kneeling on the ground, shook her head and said: "Prince Gong's face is scratched, the little girl is really powerful." ”

Mama Su Mala came to invite the Queen Mother to sit down and asked Prince Gong about Fujin, only to know that after she fell to the ground and slapped Fujin on the side, Chunxi rushed up and kicked her, reached out and pulled the tin on her head, Zhu Hai scratched the skin on her forehead, a wound as long as a little finger, fortunately it was horizontal under the hairline, if it was combed down, this face would be ruined.

Hearing these words, Concubine Duan frowned, but Lan Qi saw that Chunxi on the side didn't care, the more the Queen Mother said that Prince Gong Fujin was embarrassed, the more relieved she became, at a young age, there were so many things hidden in her stomach.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager saw everything in her eyes, and seeing that Chunxi had no remorse, she was angry and distressed, and said coldly: "I thought that the head of the palace was really going to be peaceful, but I just felt that the burden on my body was light, and you made such a thing happen to me." The emperor is my grandson, Prince Gong is also my grandson, in your eyes there is a difference between the dignity of the monarch and the inferior, in my eyes it is the same, you concubines don't say to get along well, but also bully people? ”

Duan Concubine bowed deeply, knelt on the ground and said: "It's all the concubines who have no way to discipline them, the emperor's holy grace will give Chunxi to the concubines to raise, the concubines are spoiled, forget the weight of the ancestral rules, and dare not be negligent in the future, they must teach the princess well, and ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to calm their anger." ”

The Queen Mother said on the side: "I don't have anything to be angry with the emperor's mother, but this matter is too ugly, and I already said that the emperor is biased......

"Alright." The Empress Dowager opened her mouth to stop the Queen Mother's words, the Empress Dowager's face turned grim, she regretted saying something she shouldn't have said, coughed dryly, and said that she was going to take a look at a few old concubines, and glanced at Su Mala's grandmother, and left first.

"If you are still in the palace, Fujin is your mother-in-law, and the daughter of the concubine fights against her mother-in-law, do you know what the sin is?" In the face of the seven-year-old girl, the Empress Dowager did not lose her majesty at all.

The princess then put down a proud look, and looked at her great-grandmother in awe and fear, as she said, the emperor and Prince Gong are her grandsons, Chunxi has always known that she is not the real princess in this palace, but only in front of the great-grandmother is the most at ease, because she is the great-grandson of her relatives like the real brother princesses.

"The Empress Dowager, at that time, the concubine was on the side, it was Fu Jin who spoke badly and hurt people first, and the concubine failed to stop the princess, it was the concubine's fault, please don't blame the princess, the concubine will teach her well in the future." Lan Qi has been in Cining Palace for a long time, and she has somewhat figured out the temper of the Empress Dowager, she should never say these words now, but she knew that the Empress Dowager would inevitably punish Chunxi, so she couldn't help but say it, and it was clear that it was adding fuel to the fire, but if she didn't say it, she really couldn't help it.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, ignored it, seemed to be about to settle it one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Duan, you have been by my side and the emperor for more than ten years, and you can't see this reasoning?" I can't punish you today, punishing you will make it seem that the emperor's concubines are not as noble as Prince Fujin, and they will lose Xuan Ye's face, but this time I wrote it down, and if you let the child do stupid things in the future, you can't spare it. ”

The concubine kowtowed again and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager set her eyes on Chunxi's body again, among several girls, she liked Chunxi the most, first, she was pitiful that she was taken away from her biological mother, and secondly, she entered the palace since she entered, Xuanye opened branches and leaves under her knees, Lan Qi sent her to Zhongcui Palace before giving birth, and also ensured that the little brother was born smoothly, this girl is blessed, but this time it is really ugly, thinking that there will be such a thing in the future, and it is common for the clan to be adopted, since there is a joke, it is necessary to do the rules well.

The old man gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you enter the palace as a princess and the most noble girl in the world, she is still your aunt, but is there a reason for a niece to fight her aunt?" As for your mother-in-law, she is a concubine in the palace, how do you want her to live in the future? Now that this matter is spreading, I will only say that the emperor and Duan Concubine did not teach you well, and I will only say that I, the great grandmother, spoiled my granddaughter, and I said it to the people around you. ”

"Grandmother, I was wrong......" Chunxi finally cried and fell to the ground begging for forgiveness.

Seeing her crying, the old man was distressed again, but thinking that he couldn't help but calculate for the future, and couldn't help but think about Xuan Ye's face, he still commanded ruthlessly: "Su Mala, go to the family heirloom and reward the ten boards of Chunxi." ”

"The Empress Dowager ......" Lan Qi and Duan Concubine exclaimed at the same time, and Chunxi on the side was also frightened, but the Empress Dowager didn't look at them, her eyes fell coldly outside the door, Su Mala Mama knew the master's temper best, and if she persuaded her, she would only beat her harder, and went out to call someone.

Half a moment later, there was a sturdy grandmother holding a five-finger-wide board in her hand, leading the little eunuch to carry the bench in, Chunxi was so frightened that she cried, pestering Duan Concubine and refusing to let go, Duan Concubine was also very frightened, holding her daughter to prevent people from pulling her away, begging the Queen Mother to be gracious, begging the Queen Mother to beat her.

But the old man on the seat didn't say a word, Su Mala's mother had already pulled Lan Qi to prevent her from moving, and the eunuchs and grandmothers finally separated the mother and daughter, pressing the concubine here, pressing the princess there, and the villain was lying on the bench, crying hoarsely before he could fight, and then the two boards were beaten down, and the screams almost pierced the roof.

The child of the golden branch and jade leaf is only seven years old, where can he withstand such a heavy punishment, the old lady is not soft, she must know the temper of the empress dowager, as if she had been whipped on Lan Qi's body at the beginning, and when she hit it seven or eight times, Chunxi was already in pain.

"Don't beat ......" Concubine Duan finally broke free from the palace maid who was pressing her, threw down Chunxi's side to protect her body, and begged the Empress Dowager to beat her and stop beating the child, Lan Qi has been dragged by Su Mala, and as soon as Mama let go, her whole person was soft on the ground.

The Empress Dowager did not answer or shout to continue, got up and left her seat, Su Mala Mama hurriedly stepped forward to help, the old man walked slowly to the inner hall, and did not pay attention to the matter here, Lan Qi looked at Duan Concubine holding the soft Chunxi in a daze, her mind was blank, and suddenly there was a cry from the little brother's room, and Yinzhen seemed to shout "Eniang" The cry woke her up from shock and fear.

The eunuchs didn't dare to continue, they took the opportunity to pack up the torture tools and left, they didn't want to make a sin and beat these delicate golden branches and jade leaves, the queen mother was never the same, if they didn't beat them ruthlessly just now, the punishment of the little princess would be heavier.

"Chunxi, you open your eyes and look at Eniang, Eniang will take you back, don't fight, don't fight." Concubine Duan cried so much that her heart was broken, Lan Qi slowly stood up on the side, and was about to approach, but saw Su Mala Mama turn back again, and said to her with a calm face, "The Empress Dowager wants you to go to see Prince Gong Fujin, you didn't stop you in front of today's matter, and there is always a little reason to lose." As for the concubine Niangniang, a serious Niangniang master, don't bow to Fujin. ”

"Keep your head down?" Lan Qi was in a trance.

Mama's face was contemplative: "You go and apologize to Fujin, just say that you didn't stop the fault, and the concubine and the princess are not wrong to apologize to her." The Empress Dowager will also punish Fujin when she turns around, but this is a matter of the two families, and there is no need to get involved. ”

After saying these words, Mama called someone to lead the noble people to see Prince Gong Fujin, Duan Concubine hugged Chunxi up, Chunxi was already old, she couldn't go far if she could hug it, or other palace maids and eunuchs came to take it away, Duan Concubine staggered, Mama came up and helped her and said: "Being beaten by the great grandmother, what grievances are there, the beaten child has grown up and has a future, don't take it to heart, go back and coax it well, and reason with the princess." ”

Duan Concubine used to be the palace maid of Su Mala's Mama tiao, and she was sent to Xuan Ye's side together with Rong Concubine, step by step, there is no less support behind Mama, she respects Mama as an elder and a relative in her heart, listening to these words at this time, of course, she is relieved, she doesn't dare to cry anymore, she wiped her tears and bowed inside, and went back with Chunxi.

On this side, Lan Qi followed the people of Cining Palace to Ningshou Palace, Prince Gong Fujin was directly sent here after he was injured, and the stage in Chengqian Palace was not withdrawn, except for a few people involved, Concubine Tong also led everyone to watch the play, but there was no chaos.

The Queen Mother and several old ladies were talking in one place, and when she heard that she came, she didn't come to see her, so she went straight to see Prince Gong Fujin, Lan Qi came and found that Prince Gong and Fang Fujin were also there, and the family sat there without saying a word, only Fujin cried from time to time.

The three of them and a few girls saw that the noble man was coming, they all got up to greet each other, and saw each other's family gifts, Lan Qi sank his heart, poured out all the words that should be said, bowed his head or apologized, Lan Qi did not have that invincible arrogance in his bones, and the overall situation was more important than the dignity that could not be seen or touched.

Prince Gong naturally blamed his wife, but he couldn't say more than two sentences, but Fu Jin cried: "Lord, is there any rumor in the palace about your private meeting with the noble people?" ”
