Chapter 160: Punishment

Concubine Cui hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Highness, it's the nurse who is wrong, but these twenty boards are too heavy, the nurse is old, these twenty boards go down, is she still alive?" Can you look at the concubine's thin face and spare her this time? ”

Li Ling snorted coldly, I really don't know what kind of thin face this Cui clan has in front of him, and he didn't make a sound at the moment, which means that twenty boards can't be missing at once.

Gao Shiman saw that the concubines were all kneeling down, there were either outsiders or slaves in this room, how faceless, she couldn't bear it, she looked at Li Ling and said carefully: "Your Highness, the concubines are kneeling...... This wife knelt down for her husband, and she couldn't do it if she killed herself."

When Li Ling heard Gao Shiman say this, he said to Cui's: "You get up." ”

Concubine Cui was unmoved: "If Your Highness doesn't take back your order, the concubine won't get up." ”

This is a naked threat in Gao Shiman's opinion, but when people are happy about this, what can she do, it depends on whether Li Ling eats or not, she raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Li Ling, only to see that Li Ling's face became more and more gloomy, and he pursed his lips and did not make a sound.

There was a stalemate in the room, Gao Shiman was really uncomfortable, and she didn't want Li Ling to be angry about this kind of thing, so she said cautiously: "Your Highness......"

Li Ling looked at her, and saw that she couldn't bear it, as if she was the one who was going to be hit by the board, her heart moved, she looked at the side concubine and said: "You get up, the twenty boards are reduced by half, if you plead again, you will accept it for her!" All out. ”

Mother Lin hurriedly pulled Qingya out, Xiaoman also retreated with interest, Concubine Cui saw Li Ling like this, knowing that there was no room for turning around in this matter, and then pleaded for mercy, I was afraid that these ten boards and one board would be indispensable, so she said solemnly: "Your Highness Xie, the concubine retires." ”

Mother He helped the side concubine out, and as soon as she walked to the door, she said to the side concubine with a bitter face: "The side concubine Niangniang......" Cui side concubine frowned, sighed and said: "You can bear it ten times, I have done my best." "She can't let Li Ling completely disgust herself for the sake of a nurse, besides, today's incident is completely caused by this nurse, I really don't know why she is so brainless, is Li Ling really a fool? It seems that he is too permissive to her on weekdays, and he has to restrain him in the future, Li Ling didn't like himself, and now he ...... Ay!

Mother He was bitter in her heart, looking at the side concubine going away, she smiled bitterly, and then Xiaoman called the mother-in-law who came to the execution, pulled Mother He out of Li Ling's courtyard, and crackled and beat seriously. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, but it is only to blame that He Ma is used to being a dog in front of the people in the house on weekdays, which makes everyone dislike her.

The two mothers-in-law counted in their mouths while fighting, handing each other glances, and they were not in a hurry, they took a break and took a break, and before they finished beating twice, then Mother He cried wolf howls and grabbed the ground, Gao Shiman heard it creepy in the room, clenched his fists and closed his eyes, eager to plug his ears.

Seeing this, Li Ling hurriedly went out and said to Xiao Man: "Tell that slave to shut up for this king!" ”

Xiao Man said "yes" in his mouth, and rushed over there as soon as he turned around, and when the mother-in-law saw him running over, they all stopped and looked at him. As soon as Xiao Man approached, he said, "Your Highness is noisy!" ”

The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, each took out a handkerchief and rubbed it together to block He's mother's mouth, and then continued to fight.

After ten boards for a long time, Xiaoman waved his hand to take the dying He Ma down, and returned to the study to listen to the errand.

When Gao Shiman saw Xiaoman going out, he said to Li Ling: "Your Highness, why did this He Ma do this?" She targeted me on purpose, right? It's so sweet, it almost doesn't tire me to death. ”

Li Ling took her hand and dragged her to the chair and sat down, "She thought that you hadn't eaten this thing, so she wanted to fool you." ”

"Even if I haven't eaten it, then you have always eaten it", Gao Shiman thought it was funny.

"I haven't eaten it", Li Ling looked at her sitting in the chair with her hair a little disheveled, so he stroked her head and combed her black hair.

Gao Shiman was stunned for a moment, it turned out that people thought that bird's nest was an exclusive tonic for women, so Li Ling didn't eat it, if he hadn't said that men could eat it just now, Li Ling wouldn't have eaten this.

"Annoying, doesn't she hate me very much, I didn't recruit her to provoke her, this is not her family, I believe in her evil!" Gao Shiman was also a little annoyed, and finally understood that people were targeting her, and her mood was immediately destroyed.

"Didn't you just intercede for her?" Li Ling looked at her helplessly.

"Who interceded for her? I can't wait to beat her for another twenty boards", Gao Shiman is not a virgin, people are pleading for her, she also intercedes for others, she thinks about beauty, she can't see the side concubine kneel down to Li Ling, okay?

"Then I'll ask someone to beat her for twenty more boards?" Li Ling looked at the annoyed woman in front of him with a smile.

Gao Shiman pursed his lips and said: "Forget it, the big husband has said everything, and the horse is difficult to chase, hum." ”

Looking at her puffing out, Li Ling said to the outside world: "Come on, call Yuanli." ”

Xiao Man came back and heard Li Ling calling him outside, so he answered and went to call Yuan Li, the big girl next to Li Ling, and secretly said What are you calling her to do now?

Gao Shiman was still depressed in his heart, and said with a snort: "I'll go back, and I'll never come to you again in the future." With that, he really got up.

Li Ling was anxious, grabbed her and said, "If you are still angry, I will let people drive that slave away, and if you come to me again in the future, there will be no more such person, okay?" ”

Gao Shiman looked at him, but he didn't want to drive people away, looking at the appearance of Concubine Cui just now, he still had a lot of maintenance for this nurse, if he made Concubine Li have a dislike because of himself, wouldn't he have become a-stirring stick, so he sat down again and said sullenly: "That's not it." ”

Xiaoman brought Yuan Li over, and when Li Ling saw her come in, he said, "Come over and help Shiman comb her hair again." After speaking, he went to the bookshelf and took a comb and handed it to Yuan Li.

Gao Shiman touched his double flat bun, and sure enough, it was a little collapsed, thinking that it was made when he was sleeping just now, so he glanced at Yuan Li and said, "I'm tired." "Who told her not to do that.

Yuan Li smiled and said, "Please sit here Miss Gao, and the slave will comb your hair." She was still thinking about what Li Ling asked her to do, it turned out to be to help Miss Gao comb her hair, she looked at the soft couch over there, the blanket was not confiscated, and it was estimated that Miss Gao rested in the study for a while.

Li Ling sat back at the desk, Yuan Li began to comb Gao Shiman's hair, she was skillful, her movements were gentle, Gao Shiman's eyes narrowed comfortably, Li Ling saw her like this, only felt a faint warmth in her heart.

Yuan Li was about to retire, Gao Shiman said with a smile: "Thank you!" It's so much better than my girl! "Ling'er Ping'er is not here, she helps her comb her hair every day, and she is still a breath behind in this regard.

Yuan Li smiled and retired, and said in her heart that this Miss Gao is really easy to serve, and she is not domineering at all, and when she retreats, Li Ling said: "If you like it, take her away after eating." ”

"Don't, if you bring her back, An Ran will definitely be jealous", Gao Shiman smiled.

"Jealous?" Li Ling looked at her.

Gao Shiman's heart jumped, could he not be jealous and didn't understand? She thought about it, as if the saying of jealousy originated from the allusion of the wife of the Tang Dynasty, and then she was relieved, she smiled: "This is a word evolved from a folk story, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Li Ling shook his head: "What story?" ”

"It is said that in order to entrap his subordinates, an emperor rewarded some beautiful women to be concubines for these courtiers, and all the officials accepted it, but only one minister did not dare to accept it, the emperor wondered, so he asked him why, he said that he had a fierce wife, and he really didn't dare to accept it. The emperor was very angry when he heard this, so he called the minister's wife into the palace, and pointed to a bowl of black soup and asked her to choose between drinking Du medicine and Yun Fu and taking a concubine, but the minister's wife didn't think about it, so she took the soup and drank it, and when she drank half of it, she found that it was not a Du medicine, but a bowl of strong vinegar. Gao Shiman stole the beams and changed the pillars, and hid the names and surnames of the characters in the story and told them to Li Ling.

"So later on the jealous behavior of the jealous is called jealousy?" Li Ling smiled and nodded.

"Not necessarily, this word is a neutral word, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it is completely demeaning," Gao Shiman laughed, "For example, when Xiaohu sees me teasing other dogs, he will also be jealous, so he will grin at other dogs." ”

"You have this mouth...... Li Ling smiled, it turns out that this word can not only describe people, but also animals.

Gao Shiman suddenly collapsed his face and said, "Did Mother He see me with you, so she was jealous for the side concubine?" ”

"Nonsense", Li Ling still smiled, "She is the nurse of the side concubine, she has always been uncontrolled in the house, and she has an arrogant temperament, and she must see that the bird's nest is better than hers today, so she moved her mind, don't think too much." ”

Li Ling didn't allow her to think about it anymore, so she said loudly: "Come on, when will you set the meal?" ”

Xiao Man heard it outside and replied, "Little one, go and have a look." He ran to the kitchen again.

"Are you hungry?" Li Ling asked her.

"Not hungry", Gao Shiman smiled.

Li Ling looked at her and said, "Look, you haven't eaten much at noon, why aren't you hungry?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I slept for a while, and I haven't digested what I ate at noon", Gao Shiman was really not hungry, plus he drank a few sips of the sweet bird's nest before, he really didn't feel hungry, "I'll just drink a bowl of porridge at night." ”

The two talked for a while, but before the meal came, Qin Er came. As soon as he came in, he said, "Shiman is also there?" ”

"Why are you here?" Li Ling raised his head and asked him, and Gao Shiman also looked at him.

He sat down and said, "That Yao family is crazy, it's really annoying to let that Yao Liming come to pester me." That's why I'm here to hide from you. ”

Gao Shiman smiled: "Isn't it good for him to find you?" Wouldn't it be nice to do what we said before? ”

"You don't know, this Yao Liming is like a dog skin plaster, I disgust him, anyway, we are not in a hurry, don't you say?" Qin Er grinned, as if he was extremely disgusted with Yao Liming.

At this time, the rice was delivered, and Li Ling instructed: "The second master is here, send two more dishes, and if you have porridge, send some too." ”

When the food was delivered, the three of them ate in the side hall, Gao Shiman put down his chopsticks after eating casually, Qin Er looked at her and said, "Why do you eat so little?" ”
