Chapter 39: Teaching
At Mu Huayin's strong request, Xia Yichen finally punished her for copying the "Diamond Sutra" fifty times, and reduced Fengqi Palace's three months' salary, and also fined Ruxiang fifty boards.
Of course, not really fighting.
This punishment is naturally much more serious than Cheng Songxue's grounding for a few days.
When the news reached Chuxiu Palace, Cheng Songxue finally felt a little comforted in her heart.
She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and the maidservant was applying medicine to her.
Mu Huayin slapped her very hard, half of her face was swollen, her mouth was broken, and she couldn't eat a few meals in a row.
"Shhhh
The wound on her face hurt, and she couldn't help but shout angrily, "Do you know how to apply medicine?!" ”
The maidservant hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The county lord forgives the sins, the county lord forgives the sins......"
"Don't get out yet?!"
The maidservant hurriedly went out of the hall, for fear that she would spill all her anger on her head.
Cheng Songxue looked at her red and swollen face in the mirror, and threw the medicine bottle on the table to the ground.
The most servant maid around her is Willow Green.
Liu Lu has followed her for many years and knows all her preferences, so she is highly regarded by her.
Now that Liu Lu is gone, the maidservants around her are as stupid as pigs, and they make people angry when they look at them.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes.
She must avenge this revenge.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", Cheng Songxue turned her head, and was about to angrily scold which slave was so bold, but saw that the person who came was her own mother, the eldest princess of Changping.
She jumped up and hugged the eldest princess, and tears suddenly flowed.
The eldest princess hurriedly took out a handkerchief and coaxed her while helping her wipe her tears.
Looking at her daughter's swollen face, the eldest princess was distressed.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for me...... Cheng Songxue sobbed, "and Liulu, she is also gone......
No, hearing the word "willow green", the eldest princess's face suddenly became serious.
"Your handmaid relied on your favor and used your majesty to make things happen outside, and she died innocently."
Cheng Songxue was so frightened by her sudden stern tone that she stopped crying, "Mother, even you don't look at me?" ”
In her memory, the eldest princess had always spoken to her very gently, and rarely harshly.
"Why wouldn't my mother be towards you?"
The eldest princess touched her sideburns and sighed.
"You have lived in the princess's mansion since you were a child, pampered, clothed and fed, and you don't know the dangers of the world, but now it's different, you have entered the palace, and you can't be as wild as before."
Cheng Songxue was dumbfounded, Yin Yin was her own mother who had been wronged and had always loved her, but she said that she was a fool.
"You must know that the people in the palace who are higher than you are more noble than you, how can you let your maidservants gossip about the queen and do things to the people in the queen's palace, don't you know that it depends on the owner to beat the dog?"
"Even if you make a concubine in the future, you will be inferior in front of the queen, not to mention that you have not been canonized."
This sentence deeply stung Cheng Songxue.
That's right, even if she is named a concubine, she is still one level lower than Mu Huayin, and she still has to kneel and kowtow when she sees Mu Huayin.
She really couldn't swallow it.
The eldest princess looked at her face full of hatred, and knew what she was thinking.
"It is said that the most favored person in the harem is the queen, but look at it, she beat you, and the emperor didn't punish her the same, and you, if you commit the following crimes, the emperor only punishes you to be grounded, and that's all for the sake of your cousin."
"You have to know that if you want to survive in the harem, the most important thing is to please the emperor, and only in this way can you sit in the position you want."
In fact, whether it is a harem or a court, the most important thing is to please the emperor.
Even she, the eldest princess, did not rely on currying favor with the emperor to have today's power and scenery.
She sent her daughter to the palace not because she wanted to continue to rely on Xia Yichen, the new emperor.
All things in the world must decline if they are prosperous, and those who surrender to the feet of the Son of Heaven are most taboo than pampering and arrogance.
The higher you are held, the worse it will be when you fall.
