Last year, before the emperor sealed, he handled the case of Zhong Yongtan and E Rong'an, the left deputy capital, and E Rong'an, who were suspected of leaking palace secrets, although these two people were recommended by Gao Bin, the father of the concubine, but Zhong Yongtan had a closer relationship with the Gao family, and he died in prison before waiting for the court. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother mentioned this matter again today, and now it is clear that it is Chen Guiren and Shu Concubine, but she is also included.

And Chen Guiren was ordered by the queen not to bite out the pure concubine in front of people, at this moment she was so frightened that she couldn't speak and trembled, and she also firmly remembered the queen's words, and the queen also sent someone to remind her before going out today, don't be in a hurry and panic, and talk nonsense.

But Concubine Chun didn't know that Chen Guiren would not pull herself into the water, a heart was always hanging in her throat, she almost didn't listen to the Queen Mother's words of admonition, and suddenly a person fell down in front of her, but she didn't expect the sick and weak concubine to still support her, and Chen Guiren fainted first. And this time, the concubine seemed to have lost the perseverance to support, and as soon as her eyes rolled over, the faces of everyone present changed, only the pure concubine was secretly happy in her heart.

But the palace maid seemed to anticipate this scene, and dragged people down in an orderly manner, and the queen mother was also calm today, not in a hurry, but coldly said to everyone: "Since you want to faint to death, why do you want to do this kind of thing in the first place, the harem is going to be chaotic in the world, is the emperor discussing with the minister, or hiding in the harem to listen to the woman's command?" ”

The queen took the lead in bending her knees, the concubines followed one after another, and the palace suddenly knelt down, and the queen mother stood up majestically, her eyes swept over everyone who bowed her head, stopped at the water-green figure, and said: "Don't rely on a little favor, just think that you can turn the sky upside down, and the day you can't keep the proportions, you should be kept by the ancestors by me for you." ”

Hongyan lowered her head, how did she know that the Queen Mother was looking at her, but she understood the word grace, now she is a saint, if others are staring at her, it is not to blame, but Hongyan's family background is really simple, and there are no prominent people in the last three generations, Ama is an honest person, at the end of spring this year, Ama resigned from the errand of the Internal Affairs Office, and since then he has no official or job to go home to recuperate. Hongyan understands that as long as the other officials don't pester her, she won't have anything to do here.

The queen mother trained for a quarter of an hour, and the weather was hot, when they dispersed, several people were embarrassed as if they were fished out of the water, and hurried to their palace regardless of the rules and etiquette, the queen stayed and continued to talk to the queen mother, everyone left in order, and when Hongyan walked out of the door of Ningshou Palace, she heard Shu Concubine say loudly: "If Concubine Jia Niangniang doesn't believe it, go to Ningshou Palace with the concubine to ask clearly, the only relationship between this matter and the concubine is just the surname Yehenara." Something happened to the people in her mother's family, and the concubine had the sin of neglecting to supervise and remind, but from beginning to end, the concubine didn't mix up a little thing, but it was strange where Chen Guiren got the ability to seek that official position for her brother. ”

Concubine Jia is beautiful and Concubine Shu is soft, they are two completely different postures, but at this moment, Concubine Shu, who is domineering, actually raised a little bit of Concubine Jia's past arrogance, seeing that she was going to make a big deal, Concubine Yu stepped forward to pull her down and persuaded: "Why are you so excited, Concubine Jia is just asking a few words, just make it clear." The weather is so hot, don't be in a hurry, the Queen Mother also said that the past is over. ”

Concubine Shu has had many troubles this year, first she lost her child, and then her family caused trouble, her sister-in-law did not have a good face when she entered the palace, and her cousin turned her elbow outward, counting her side, there was nothing that went smoothly. There is already a backlog of too many grievances, and today I was punished and disciplined in public, and the pride of a lifetime will be polished, where can I withstand Concubine Jia's provocation.

She listened to Concubine Yu's persuasion and didn't collide in front of the Queen Mother, but she couldn't listen to it at the moment, raised her face and sneered, looked at Concubine Jia and said: "No wonder Niangniang has so many questions, the things in the nobles of the Gaomen, where can Niangniang be from such a background, Niangniang's ancestors have come to you for several generations, in order to gain a firm foothold in my Qing Dynasty, it is not easy, presumably all wrists have been used, and even the emperor's dragon couch has not been let go." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked to whisper, Concubine Jia is a Korean in her bones, her ancestors abandoned the country and defected to the Qing court to weave into the Baoyi Banner, which has been passed down from generation to generation, if no one mentions it, she is also a Han woman like a concubine and a pure concubine. The Han people are still the people of the Qing Dynasty, and they are more qualified to stand on this land than the Manchus, and the descendants of fugitives from small affiliated countries like Concubine Jia are really not in the stream. And it has been rumored in the palace that Concubine Jia seduced the fourth elder brother in the elder brother back then, and even her proud son Xingsi was used as a laughing stock.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Jia screamed sharply, and she didn't care that this was outside the gate of Ningshou Palace, and she was about to tear Concubine Shu when she rushed up, when had Concubine Shu seen such a battle, but she couldn't care so much about her anger, so she was ready to tear up with Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu called Concubine Yi and Lu Guiren to persuade her, they protected Concubine Shu, but no one dared to pull Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu could only rush forward and persuade: "Sister Concubine Shu is young, Niangniang sees that this is outside the gate of Ningshou Palace, so she can dissipate her anger." ”

Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu have been entangled in Qixiang Palace for several years, and they have never been polite when they speak, Concubine Jia is enthusiastic at the moment, and she has no scruples, and said sharply: "She is young, how can she understand these things at a young age, isn't it that your sisters and sisters are good, and secretly instigated and arranged me." You instigated her to speak disrespectfully to me, and now you are pretending to be a good person? ”

Other nobles often avoided from afar, and did not dare to come forward to persuade, Concubine Chun was a ghost in her heart, and as soon as she dispersed, she immediately returned to Xianfu Palace, but she did not encounter this situation, and Concubine Xian's shoulders did not go far, and she could hear the movement behind her, Hua Rong stepped forward to tell her what happened, Concubine Xian only said indifferently: "Let's go, it's so hot, there is no place for me to talk in front of the gate of Ningshou Palace." ”

Hongyan stood behind the people, and saw that Yu Concubine was targeted by Concubine Jia, she was in a hurry, and she ran up involuntarily, and it happened that Concubine Jia was angry, raised her hand and slapped Yu Concubine in the face, she was in pain and stood unsteadily and fell backwards, fortunately Hongyan caught up and then, she fell on Hongyan's body, and Hongyan fell firmly on the steps.

At this time, Mama Hua heard the movement and rushed out, seeing that it had reached the point of making trouble, and was secretly thinking badly, Shu Concubine saw that Concubine Yu was beaten for her, and her face turned red with anger, and she broke free from Lu Guiren's obstruction and crashed into Jia Concubine, shouting: "What are you doing beating her, you are coming at me." ”

Mama Hua was stunned and scolded the eunuchs and palace maids around her: "They are all blind, why don't you go and pull it away." ”

The queen mother is only shaking her majesty today, and she is drinking tea with the queen in the inner hall to rest, Ningshou Palace is very wide, this movement has not reached the inside, Hua Mama also listened to the people in front of the door to come out to see, this time the people are open, but can not be dispersed, she came in with an embarrassed expression, as tactful as possible to explain what happened, the queen mother was so angry that she almost threw the tea bowl on the ground, and the queen hurriedly confessed: "It was the sons and daughters who were not in charge of it, so that they disturbed Eniang." ”

The Queen Mother took pity on her daughter-in-law, waved her hand and said: "What does it have to do with you, I have now figured it out, it is all Hongli's debts, and our mother and son will clean it up for him all day long." ”

When the queen heard her mother-in-law say this, she actually laughed, and hurriedly persuaded her: "E-niang is angry, but you must not tell the emperor, he will be so scared that he can't sleep for a few nights." ”

The Queen Mother's mood eased a little, but she still commanded coldly: "When I followed Concubine De's knees, I heard my ancestors say that in the early years, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang ruled the troubles between Fujin and Gege in Prince Yu's mansion, and called them all into the palace to kneel outside the gate of Cining Palace. It's okay, I will follow the example of my ancestors today, you let them all kneel outside the gate of Ningshou Palace and think about it, this time the sun is slanting, kneeling in the shade, it is not that I abuse them. ”

The queen didn't dare to stop it, Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu dared to quarrel and tear outside the gate of Ningshou Palace, so they should think about this fate, but asked: "No one else came forward to persuade the fight, and they didn't persuade them on the side, and they were all punished." ”

Hua Mama said: "Yu Concubine, Yi Concubine two Niangniang, Lu Guiren and they are all blocked, and there are ......" Hua Mama looked at the Queen Mother, knowing that the master didn't like that one, but she couldn't help but say the truth, "Wei Changzai was also on the side, when Yu Concubine Niangniang fell, Wei Changzai just caught her, Yu Concubine Niangniang was fine, but Wei Changzai's arm was broken, and he saw blood." ”

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, the Queen Mother carefully and carefully grasped her mother-in-law's reaction, the Queen Mother also seemed to be concerned about the emperor and the queen, and this matter had nothing to do with Wei Hongyan, so she said: "Send her back, let the imperial doctor take a look at her, don't leave any scars, I will take a look at Concubine Yu, and everyone else will stay outside the door to reflect." ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and soon Concubine Yu was taken in, and she was slapped in the face by Concubine Jia, the five finger prints were eye-catching, her face was so swollen that her eyes were squeezed, she didn't cry or say anything with tears, Mama Hua gave her medicine, and only listened to the queen mother's instructions: "You go to Yanxi Palace to see, whether the fall is heavy or not, what is the matter when you turn back, Hongli should be impatient again." As soon as he walked towards Yu Concubine, he sighed lovingly, "What is this called?" ”

However, the queen left Ningshou Palace and did not go to Yanxi Palace to see Hongyan, this matter must have been spread to the Yangxin Palace, originally the emperor gave a lecture today, and the emperor sent someone to watch it, and he must have known about it like this.

And the queen walked out of Ningshou Palace, and sure enough, she saw Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu and those who didn't come up to persuade them to be punished to kneel in the shade, but the sun had just been slanted, and she couldn't hide her head in the shade.

The queen was afraid that she would see too much soft-heartedness, so she left in a hurry without saying anything, after all, the concubine in Chuxiu Palace who was scared half to death still had someone to appease her.
