Chapter 23 Lu Keyi
Chapter 23 Lu Keyi
Mei Xi was obviously stunned by the slap from the visitor, her mouth was wide open, and she could stuff an egg!
But when she saw clearly who was coming, she didn't have the courage to fight back.
After beating Mei Xi, the girl in the orange jacket and skirt ran to Queen Chen's side in a hurry: "Queen Mother, the son is late, please punish the Queen Mother." β
He Changan finally remembered who this girl was, with a goose egg face, a pair of big eyes that were not angry and arrogant, quite imposing, obviously it should be regarded as the appearance of a small jasper, but just for the natural nobility and heroism of the body, it made people feel a little good, of course, this goodwill should be He Changan's own, it is estimated that Mei Xi may not be able to complain in her heart now.
There is such a posture in the palace, and someone who can call Queen Chen the queen mother, it must be the eldest princess Lu Keyi!
Lu Keyi is the sister-in-law of the second prince Lu Cheng, Queen Herui back then, who died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. Because of freedom, she has no biological mother, and she is the first daughter of the saint, and it hurts her so much that she can't do it, even Lu Cheng has to let this sister have a few points, and now Lu Keyi is almost overbearing in the palace, and no one dares to mess with the master.
But even if Lu Keyi is domineering, he can say his own truth in whatever he does, and this truth is irrefutable, he is really alive in the palace to be windy and rainy!
For Lu Keyi's ability, He Changan also admires it in his heart.
Just like Lu Keyi just now, Deng Dengdeng ran in, didn't say anything, just slapped Mei Yunying with his head and face, and didn't say anything after the beating, and went directly to the queen to say goodbye.
She said she was pleading, but what was the reason for pleading? She was too late.
It's not about Mei Yunying!
Empress Chen kindly touched Lu Keyi's forehead: "It's not important that Ke'er is late, but in fact, it's not late, you see that your sisters haven't come yet, right?"
Seeing that the queen didn't even plan to ask Lu Keyi about beating Mei Yunying, because reasoning with Lu Keyi, you can't understand, but Mei Xi didn't know what to think over there, and she cried out with a wow.
While crying, he also sobbed and said, "The queen wants to be the master of the courtiers...... Even if the eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the courtier is just a small county lord, she is not as noble as the princess, but she can't be so embarrassed by the eldest princess......"
He Changan sneered in his heart, this Mei Yunying, it is better to change the name to Mei Yanse!
Queen Chen, who was a talented person, originally wanted to reprimand you, but it was because your mother is a princess and you are a clan relative that she stopped her words. But now that the eldest princess has cracked and given you a slap, how can Queen Chen have any reason to reprimand the eldest princess for you, a county lord?
He Ping'an saw Mei Xi stand up, and wanted to pull, but before he could hear Mei Xi say such a shocking word, his face changed slightly, but he was still clear-headed and did not stand up to help.
But Mei Xi was waiting for He Ping'an even more shockingly, turned her head and asked He Ping'an: "Cousin Ping, do you say what I said is right......?"
He Ping'an really didn't know how to answer, and turned his head to look at the eldest princess of Zhaoxing. Although the eldest princess of Zhaoxing didn't mind watching Mei Yunying make a fool of herself, how could she allow her daughter to be brought to such an embarrassing situation by her, so she also said softly: "Yunying, you sit down first, this slap is given to you by the eldest princess, the princess rewards, naturally there is a princess's reason, you are grateful, why are there so many nonsense?
This is to give Mei Yunying the steps, just look at Mei Yunying and not continue.
Mei Xi looked around, and finally found that the signs were not quite right, it seemed that everyone was not on her side, and after a while, she lowered her head: "The courtier Mei Yunying thanked the eldest princess for the reward, and asked the eldest princess to inform the courtier of the reason for this reward." β
Mei Xi's harsh words made He Changan and Shi Qi lose face, in this matter, she was originally addicted to it for a while, and when she thought about it, she still had a little reason, but this didn't hinder the eldest princess from doing anything. The eldest princess and He Chang'an Shiqi don't know each other, and there is no reason to let herself lose face among these two people, so this slap was hit for no reason.
Since the eldest princess fought for no reason, in Mei Xi's opinion, Lu Keyi should be a little bit of a loss, but now it seems that instead of a guilty look on Lu Keyi's face, he is a little more complacent.
Mei Xi was so angry, she secretly said in her heart, you are a princess, my mother is still a princess, no matter how noble you are, where can you be noble?
But she didn't dare to say this anymore, she was afraid that if she said it, Lu Keyi would reward her with another slap. Fortunately, she didn't say that Lu Keyi is really more noble than the eldest princess Zhaoli, Daxuan especially values the concubine, Lu Keyi is the princess of Queen Herui, although the eldest princess of Zhaoli is a generation, she is a concubine, this point, the eldest princess of Zhaoli is shooting eight horses, and she can't catch up with Lu Keyi.
Lu Keyi was not in a hurry, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake on the table in front of the queen and said to the queen with a smile: "The hibiscus cake here is the most delicious, and the queen mother doesn't mind her sons eating more." β
Empress Chen understands that Lu Keyi is going to hang Mei Xi! It's just that there are too many people this time, and Mei Xi did go down that step, if Lu Keyi really hangs her for too long, most of the public opinion in the future will sympathize with Mei Xi.
Although no one dared to criticize Lu Keyi, Lu Keyi's reputation was not good.
Then he said with a pleasant face: "Ke'er said that he likes to eat, and I will ask someone to pack some more and send them to your Zhengyi Palace when I go back." β
Zhengyi Palace was the palace where the first emperor lived when the first emperor was still there, and he also grew up in Zhengyi Palace when he was young, but later he was older, and the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, never gave birth to a son, so she took Jinshang to Fengqi Palace to raise.
But today, I still miss Zhengyi Palace.
Today's Zhengyi Palace does not live in any concubine, only the eldest princess Lu Keyi lives, how much the saint loves the eldest princess, and he also sees the leopard, which can be seen.
Lu Keyi replied happily to Queen Chen, eh.
And then there was no then...... Holding the hibiscus cake that he had just grabbed in his hand, he continued to eat it without delay.
Empress Chen couldn't hold back a little, and lowered her voice again: "Miss Mei is still waiting." β
After Lu Keyi finished eating the piece of hibiscus cake in his hand, the maid who was waiting next to him wanted to hand over a handkerchief for Lu Keyi to clean his hands, but Lu Keyi pushed him back, patted his hands directly, and stood up.
The queen's throne is higher, Lu Keyi stands beside the queen's throne, the amount itself is not as high as Mei Xi, but now it is much taller than her, coupled with Lu Keyi's inviolable posture of the princess here, it makes people feel that Mei Xi's arrogance is more than a head shorter.
"Okay, since the county lord wants to hear why this palace rewards you with a slap, then this palace will tell you something. β
After speaking, he said to Queen Chen: "Queen Mother, this county lord has three major faults, and the elders present now include the queen mother and Ni Concubine Niangniang, as well as the Duchess of Siguo and the two princess aunts, then please also be a witness to the elders present to see if I Lu Keyi is right!"
Lu Keyi's words were so loud that Mei Xi couldn't help but shudder.
Several ladies were silent, but they also acquiesced, only the eldest princess Zhaoli also understood that her daughter was in trouble now, but the eldest princess asked her to be a witness by name, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she couldn't say anything to favor her daughter.
"First, that is, today's chrysanthemum banquet, the queen mother is the guest of honor, the lord of Piyang County can only be regarded as a guest, and the guest arranges the position of other guests without authorization, which is really noisy, which is rude to the lord of Piyang County!"
This alone is not an unforgivable mistake, the eldest princess Zhaoli only needs to say that her daughter is young and ignorant, and she thinks that she can help the queen share her worries, and she can also turn around, but Lu Keyi said first, and there must be something waiting for Mei Xi behind.
But Lu Keyi still picked up the simplest one!
"Second, Mei Xi, the lord of Piyang County, is the county lord of the father's own title, and is a noble daughter with a command, but the identity is not as noble as the princess and the county lord, today the lord of Miyang County forced Gong Changbo's concubine to sit farther away, leaving a seat in the middle, but he forgot that the palace and the second sister, the third sister and the fourth sister did not arrive, and the Zhurun county lord of Uncle Jing's family did not arrive, I am afraid that if you really want to keep the seat, the princess and the Zhurun county lord should also be left in front of the county lord of Miyang, the county lord is the father of the emperor, but the princess and the county lord are also, the county lord of the county is to despise the court, despise the fatherοΌβ
Mei Xi was so frightened that she couldn't do it, didn't she just make He Changan lose face? She actually rose to the level of contempt for the imperial court and the emperor! This crime is really terrible.
"Fang Cai is the second, and the third is that the lord of the county has obviously made a mistake first, and this palace is the princess to punish on his behalf. But the county lord of Piyang did not repent and did not say anything, and tried to pull Miss He of Zhaoxing's aunt's family to intercede with the queen mother for him. This move is to drag others into a situation of disloyalty, filial piety, and disobedience. β
This second one is even more serious, but it is right, if He Ping'an really helped, then she would be crowned with such a big hat by Lu Keyi now.
As a result, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, who secretly cherished Mei Xi because of her sisterhood, also became very ugly, and it was impossible to help Mei Xi intercede.
Who dares to intercede, that is, disloyalty, filial piety, king, and minister!
After the eldest princess Lu Keyi finished speaking, she suddenly knelt beside Queen Chen: "When the Mei daughter was named the county lord of the Mei family, the Mei girl was still young, and she couldn't see what her character was, but now the Mei girl has made such three heinous mistakes, and none of them can be easily forgiven.
