Chapter 16: Unjustified humiliation
"Concubine Rou, what is the prince asking you?" Min Qingrou's stunned stunned made Thyme immediately cast a warning glance at her.
This Min Qingrou is really stupid to a certain extent! Everyone is trying their best to curry favor, and while stammering with the prince, she is too empty with her head down. It's unbelievable!
What's even more infuriating is that because he was the only one of all the concubines present who didn't speak, he was lucky to be named by the prince, and it was really shit luck!
"Concubine, I don't know what to say?"
Min Qingrou stood up slowly, but with an innocent look.
"Yes, then this king will remind you, that night in the Pujia Palace, you broke this king's jade belt, you say, what should this king do with you?"
Situ Yue raised the silver cup in his hand and looked at Min Qingrou from afar. This woman didn't say a word all night, which was very different from the other concubines who tried their best to please him.
In terms of common sense, after that night's sleep, even if it didn't make her tremble, at least she shouldn't be so calm. Maybe this woman is really a little different, but she thinks that if she offends him Situ Yue, she can just mix it up?
"What? Concubine Rou broke the prince's jade belt?"
Thyme immediately became sharp when she heard this, turned to Min Qing and said softly: "Bold Rou Concubine, why don't you come over and ask the prince for guilt!"
Min Qingrou looked at the flickering steps on the thyme's head, and the bright red Kodan on Qianqianyu's fingers, a trace of restlessness unconsciously rose in her heart, and she just hung her head and stood still. However, this seems to outsiders as if they were scared silly.
"The princess is angry! The princess is angry! The concubine believes that her sister is unintentional, and Miaoling is willing to ask the prince for her guilt on behalf of her sister!"
At this time, Shen Miaoling, who noticed that something was wrong, immediately stood up and stood up in front of Min Qingrou.
"Concubine Shen, this matter has nothing to do with you, you step aside!" Thyme scolded Shen Miaoling domineeringly, and her warning eyes shot over like poisonous arrows.
After three days, the health cream she rewarded Min Qingrou had no effect, she was already a little anxious, and now that she caught Min Qingrou's mistake, she refused to let her go. If this Shen Miaoling doesn't know what to do, then she can only be considered unlucky!
When others saw it, they all chose to ignore it. If you offend the princess, you can still be saved, but if you offend the princess, there is only one way to die! At this time, whoever goes up to help Min Qingrou will probably suffer!
"Lord Wang! Please spare Sister Concubine Rou! She is weak by nature, and she will never deliberately make you angry! If Lord Wang is punished, Miao Ling is willing to bear it for her sister!"
Shen Miaoling ignored the cold eyes of thyme, took a few steps and fell to his knees in front of Situ Yue, pleading worriedly.
"Oh, are you willing to be punished for her?" Situ Yue's indifferent gaze swept over Shen Miaoling, who was kneeling at his feet, and asked coldly.
"Yes! The concubine is willing!" As soon as she came into contact with Situ Yue's cold gaze, Shen Miaoling unconsciously shuddered, but still nodded firmly.
"Are you willing? Have you ever asked this king if he is happy?"
Situ Yue glanced at Shen Miaoling coldly, and then turned his gaze to look at Min Qingrou.
"Concubine Rou, come here. ”
Knowing that she couldn't hide anymore, Min Qingrou sighed secretly, and obediently walked to Situ Yue and knelt down. Of course, she chose to ignore those gloating eyes.
No matter what, he can't let Miaoling suffer for him. She still couldn't figure out Situ Yue's thoughts, and she didn't plan to use Shen Miaoling to test the waters. So this time, she's ready to take it.
"The concubine is guilty!"
Min Qingrou knelt in front of Situ Yue, bowed her head and confessed, looking obedient.
"Since you know the guilt, you should know that there is a deserved punishment!" Situ Yue looked at Min Qingrou, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, with scrutinizing eyes, and secretly said in his heart, where did he want to try her bottom line?
"Yes! The concubine is willing to be punished. "There was still no resistance.
Situ Yue's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he raised the wine in the glass and drank it all, and then showed the empty wine glass to Min Qingrou.
"Very good! Since you also agree, then tonight's banquet will trouble Concubine Rou for a little grievance!"
Speaking of this, he turned to look at everyone: "You guys, if you have any favorite dishes to eat, just tell Concubine Rou!"
Situ Yue meant that at this solemn and heavy family banquet, he wanted to call Min Qingrou like a maid!
Shen Miaoling's face immediately changed, even if Min Qingrou made a mistake, she shouldn't be humiliated so unreasonably!
And the other concubines present at this moment all had different expressions, some were happy, some were mocking, some were contemptuous, and some were gloating.
Situ Yue looked at Min Qingrou again, but unfortunately he didn't notice any expression on her face other than deferentiality.
"Lord Wang!"
Shen Miaoling was just about to say something, when she suddenly felt a sharp gaze swept over, Situ Yue's eyes were like ten thousand years of frost, the cold person trembled, and Shen Miaoling's words were swallowed again.
"Lord Wang, since Concubine Rou has made a mistake, why don't you let people take her down, so as not to sweep away the prince's interest? Concubine Rou dares to offend the prince, it is really a big rebellion! Naturally, she is not qualified to stay in this banquet!"
Thyme saw that Situ Yue's gaze had been on Min Qingrou, and she didn't feel very jealous in her heart, so she immediately opened her mouth to suggest.
Who knew that Situ Yue glanced at thyme with an indifferent face, and the words he said were even more cold and terrifying.
"What? Does the princess refuse to accept the king's punishment of Concubine Rou? So, does the princess want to receive the punishment with Concubine Rou? Oh, I don't know, you are so sisterly?"
Thyme was frightened, and hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Situ Yue, and said in a loud voice: "The concubine body does not dare! The prince is angry! The concubine body will never dare to go against the will of the prince!"
"That's good, if anyone still has an opinion, they can receive the punishment with Concubine Rou!"
Situ Yue glanced at the audience, and everyone was silent. Shen Miaoling gritted her teeth, and was about to speak, when she suddenly felt that her sleeves were being pulled up, and Min Qingrou shook her head with a pleading face.
Shen Miaoling knew that Min Qingrou didn't want to affect her. But she began to feel uneasy in her heart. What's going on? The prince has always been tolerant of people at family banquets, why is it that today is so contrary to usual?
Min Qingrou just accidentally broke his jade belt, and it wasn't too valuable, how could the prince punish him so heavily?
What the hell is going on?
Worriedly returned to her seat, still reassuring and constantly glancing at Min Qingrou, I saw her head lowered, standing next to Situ Yue pouring wine and vegetables, as if she was completely powerless to resist the grievance, and the moment she occasionally raised her head, she could vaguely see the tears in her eyes.
"Concubine Rou, that fish head with sauce looks good!" Situ Yue stared at Min Qingrou's low-key eyebrows, his eyes flashed. He wondered if this woman was really weak, or was she deliberately pretending to be like this?
That night in the Pujia Palace, her behavior was very suspicious. If he hadn't had delusions again and again, he would have seen through her a long time ago.
Eat, eat, eat, eat!
Min Qingrou cursed in her heart, but her subordinates obediently picked up ivory chopsticks and a blue-glazed moire dish and sandwiched a piece of fish meat and sent it to him.
Situ Yue picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, chewed them carefully, and then said to the thyme sitting on the left: "Fresh and refreshing, do you want to taste it?"
Thyme immediately smiled back, "Since the prince loves it, the concubine is naturally also fond of it!"
"Is that so? Then it will be troublesome to Concubine Rou! The princess also loves this dish very much!"
Situ Yue replied lightly, and then turned his gaze to Min Qingrou.
"Yes!"
Min Qingrou blessed her body, walked to Thyme's side, and took a piece of fish meat and sent it to the plate in front of Thyme.
"Lord, the concubine also wants to taste it!"
At this moment, a sweet and delicate voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to find Luomei looking at Situ Yue with a coquettish face.
Min Qingrou's heart immediately burned a fire! This woman was still restless after being beaten into the cold palace? The thief's heart did not die! At this time, he did not forget to step on her feet, it was really not ordinary vicious! It was ridiculous that she still sympathized with her! Sure enough, in the backyard of this palace, kindness is unacceptable.
"Okay!" Situ Yue responded very casually, but this time it made the hearts of the people present wake up.
It seems that this Min Qingrou is really not pleasing to the prince! A lady who has made a mistake can call at will, even if she sleeps? What about being a concubine? If you offend the prince, everything is bullshit!
Under the leadership of Luomei, the concubines and concubines of each courtyard also began to call Min Qingrou unscrupulously.
"Sister Roufei, I love stuffed tofu the most, I'm sorry for you!"
"Sister Roufei, that spicy crab has a unique flavor, which suits me the most!"
"Concubine Rou, that Longjing shrimp is good, come over and taste it!"
......
No matter what others called, Min Qingrou was only obedient and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Just when everyone was enjoying all this triumphantly, the coincidence was extremely sad and indignant, the master, as a concubine, actually had to serve tea and water to a lady who was lower than herself? How could such humiliation be unbearable?
Coincidentally, he was only watching from the sidelines, but he was anxious but had nothing to do. What's wrong with the master? How cold and sharp was the rebuke of Luo Mei Xueliu that day? Where is that momentum now?
It's hateful that King Qi doesn't speak, and everyone else is unscrupulously abusing the master, after this banquet, the master is afraid that he will become the laughing stock of the backyard of the palace!
At this moment, the burning heart of Yuan Qiao can only pin all her hopes on Shen Miaoling, hoping that she can find a way to change the master's situation!
Shen Miaoling naturally couldn't calm down, she couldn't imagine that things would develop so unexpectedly!
But what made her even more puzzled was that Situ Yue was not a childish person, why did he make things so difficult for Min Qingrou today? Could it be that Min Qingrou was sleeping, what else happened that she didn't know?
It's impossible! Min Qingrou's temperament she knows best, it's possible to break the prince's jade belt for a moment of nervousness, but that's it, right? What greater ability does she have for the prince to target her like this?
After thinking about it, Shen Miaoling also decided to put this issue aside for a while, and now it is the right way to solve Min Qingrou's predicament first.
"Sister Roufei, that mandarin duck and lily soup is very sweet and delicious, can you please ask my sister to help me serve a bowl?"
Shen Miaoling suddenly raised her head and pointed to a steaming soup that had just been served on the table and said to Min Qingrou with a smile on her face.
"Snort. I don't know who sneered softly, as if Shen Miaoling's move was very disapproving.
Just now, Shen Miaoling was still pleading for Min Qingrou, looking like a sister, but now she also joined the ranks of humiliating her. Sure enough, there are no real sisters in this mansion at all, and it's not all for themselves in front of interests? This kind of person is only Min Qingrou, a fool, who will believe it, right?
Min Qingrou raised her head slightly and saw Shen Miaoling looking at her, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious. Min Qingrou knew that Shen Miaoling was ready to act according to the plan, but she was a little hesitant, should she let Miaoling do this?
"What's the matter? Concubine Rou is willing to serve her wife, but she is not willing to let you, the sister of Concubine Shen, call her back? That's right, you have a deep sisterhood, this kind of scene is really embarrassing!"
Situ Yue raised the wine glass in his hand, his gaze swept lightly to Min Qingrou, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Situ Yue's words were like a catalyst, and all the eyes of the show shot at her in an instant.
Min Qingrou gritted her teeth secretly, Situ Yue, you wait for me! Although she was unwilling, she still obediently walked to Shen Miaoling.
"There is Sister Lao!"
When Min Qingrou picked up the spoon and prepared to serve the soup, Shen Miaoling glanced at her without a trace. Min Qingrou nodded knowingly and continued the work in hand.
She knew, wait a minute, something was going to happen!
