Chapter 62: Liu Ying's Surrender
Hearing Concubine Qi Xian's words, the palace people trembled even more nervously, and the second-class palace maid who looked at the face of the head hurriedly trembled and said:
"Niangniang, please forgive your sins, it's not that these slaves and maids are scattered, it's really today, it's today, it's only today, the slaves and maids are only like today, and I ask the virtuous concubine to forgive me, don't send the slaves and maids to the Punishment Division, please forgive the virtuous concubine!"
Qi Min'er looked at the several palace maids who kowtowed when they heard the sound, they were also handsome, but if they chose to be concubines with this kind of appearance, they were really a little reluctant, and they thought that Liu Ying that Aunt Zhao said was not here, so she suddenly asked with some interest:
"Why are all the people waiting in this place waiting here? Is there anyone else? Bring the booklet that you have here to record the positions of the palace maids to this palace, and this palace wants to see what kind of background you all have? It's so arrogant."
"There is also a lack of the female official Liu Ying, the booklet is in the back room, it has always been Liu Ying's sister who is holding it, she is the female official of the school book, because of her high status, she is in charge of the slaves and maids, and the important things in this library are all collected by her, so the slaves and maids will go and ask Sister Liu Ying to come over and report to the mother."
After that, the palace maid looked up at Qi Min'er, and when she saw that the other party nodded, she hurriedly got up and trotted over.
When she arrived in the backyard, she only felt that her strength seemed to be gone, her feet were as soft as cotton, and she silently collapsed to the ground, but she knew that this time must not be delayed, and then hurriedly ran over and patted the door of the largest room in the backyard, and shouted loudly:
"Sister Liu, Sister Liu, please hurry up, Concubine Xian Niangniang has come to this library to ask for her guilt, please hurry up, otherwise Niangniang will really blame."
Liu Ying was already drowsy, and she was in a bad mood today, because according to Liu Yunu's previous inertia, she would definitely come to this library to humiliate her again today, although there was no specific punishment, just verbal humiliation.
But she called herself a concubine and a cheap maid, and then ordered herself to do all kinds of heavy acrobatics that only low-level palace maids do, and at the end she ridiculed her as a maid, Liu Ying couldn't help but get angry when she thought of her hateful face.
Although she is a concubine at home, because of her mother's favor, she can occasionally say goodbye to Liu Yunu.
At that time, her father was also partial to her, and although she did not have the opportunity to be selected as a concubine after entering the palace, she was arranged in the library pavilion.
She is the female official in charge here, the library has always been idle, and the palace people here dare not disobey her orders, because she is the identity of the Liu family's daughter, so the specifications given to her in the imperial dining room are far beyond the average female official, she is not only a little frustrated here can not be a concubine, but also very comfortable.
It's just that whenever Liu Yunu came to humiliate her, Liu Ying was extremely resentful of the other party, but today she heard that Liu Yunu was demoted.
And it's not an ordinary person who was demoted to a woman, she was directly removed from the title of a concubine and sent to the cold palace, and now she has been deposed as a concubine, and her identity is not as good as a female official in a library like her, when she thinks of this, Liu Ying can't help but be happy.
For this reason, Liu Ying wanted to celebrate, so she specially took the silver to the little palace maid and asked her to order the imperial dining room to buy a table of banquets, and then take a pot of mellow wine, she wanted to eat a good meal.
It's just that the strength of the wine seems to be a little big, she is a little groggy after eating, and she can't help but fall asleep when she is lying, but at this time, the palace maid outside the door knocked on the door heavily, she frowned impatiently, stroked her forehead, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand the other party for not understanding the rules, but she heard the virtuous concubine she called.
"Virtuous Princess?" Why is Concubine Xian here? Liu Ying was a little surprised in her heart.
Don't blame her for her gaffe, it is really that Concubine Xian was the concubine of the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion at the beginning, and naturally she is not a concubine who can be compared, but the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion was exiled, and she was also a slave in the palace because of this, but somehow it attracted His Majesty's love and directly canonized the concubine.
It is estimated that Concubine Qi Xian should have come to settle accounts with her, after all, the Marquis of Mingyuan was brought down by the Liu family, and she was born in the Liu family, yes, I heard that now Empress Liu is ordered to recuperate in the palace, palace
All matters were assigned to Concubine Qi Xian.
How's that for good? Thinking that Concubine Xian might have come over to attack her on purpose, after all, even Imperial Girl Liu fell for her tricks, and now she has been placed in the cold palace, and the other party is still the master, she is a slave in the end, and it is not a fluttering sentence that the other party wants to deal with her.
"Just say I'm not here, say I'm going to the queen's place, and I'll visit the virtuous concubine another day."
Liu Ying only felt that most of the wine in her body had woken up, and at this time she was a little trembling, she wanted to find the protection of Queen Liu, after all, they were all Liu women, and Liu Yunu couldn't count on it, so she naturally had some effect.
But if she wants to go out, she will definitely meet Concubine Qi Xian, and now she has to support the other party first, so that she can go to the queen's palace to seek refuge, so she is busy finding excuses.
"Sister Liu's words are useless, Concubine Xian already knows that you are here, and she also said that you should take all the brochures that record the palace maids here, she will check them one by one, and there must be no one missing."
When Liu Yunu heard this, she already knew that there was no way to avoid it, so she could only get up and open the door in a trembling manner, and went to the front hall in a panic with the little palace maid.
Qi Min'er waited a little impatiently, but she heard heavy footsteps from behind, she hurriedly raised her eyes, and saw that the little palace maid who was sent out by her just now was supporting a woman wearing a plain undershirt, and saw that the woman was born with beautiful eyebrows and fair complexion, and she was a very rare beauty.
What's even more rare is that she has a kind of graceful temperament, you must know that most of the women who are concubines in this palace are from families, even if they are carried up by the palace maids, they are also well-behaved.
There is really no type like this Liu Ying.
Qi Min'er quickly understood why the Liu family wanted to send a concubine into the palace, and why they kept the other party in the palace when they were obviously not canonized concubines, and even spent some connections.
It is said that rare things are expensive, and this is true for items, and it is naturally true for people.
When he was in the palace, the emperor was used to seeing everyone's ladies, used to seeing the small jasper, and used to the rules and manners.
"Okay, you people go to the backyard to stay there first, Aunt Zhao, look at them, let them slap each other's mouths, they will have to be beaten hard, each with fifty slaps, so that they know how to be cautious in their words and deeds, how to serve in this library pavilion, as for this female official Liu, stay here first, this palace still has something to ask you." Z.br>
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she hurriedly took those palace maids down, but after a moment's effort, she heard bursts of slapping sound from the backyard, and occasionally mixed with the low crying of those palace maids.
Concubine Xian sent these people out, obviously letting them each slap her, she didn't have any more instructions, indicating that this was probably okay for the time being, and it could be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment.
But if she left herself here, does it mean that she has a harsher punishment to be used on herself, what kind of punishment will it be? Liu Ying couldn't help but think of the methods used by her aunt and grandmother in the backyard to those concubines who grabbed favor, and when she thought of this, she really couldn't control her fear, so she hurriedly hugged Qi Min'er's feet and begged for mercy:
"Virtuous concubine Niangniang forgive the sin, although the slave maid was born in the Liu family, but the slave maid is just a concubine daughter, and is not valued, the maid did not see the maid, she humiliated the slave maid in every way because of the humble background of the slave maid, the palace people who served in this library pavilion are witnesses, and the slave maid has never been able to enter their eyes.
Therefore, everything the Liu family has nothing to do with the slave maid, and please don't blame the slave maid, the slave and maid are willing to serve the virtuous concubine and the maid, and atone for the mother."
Her voice trembled, and she pushed all the blame away, and then slammed her head.
Qi Min'er was a little surprised, she knew that the other party was a little stupid, but she didn't expect that the other party was still very cowardly, which fulfilled her wish, this Liu Ying looked so timid and afraid, and she didn't have a noble background, and now she said these words of the Liu family,
Once this spreads, Liu Ying will have no place in the Liu family, and she will naturally be relieved to evoke such a person.
So Qi Min'er changed her cold expression just now, and gently pulled up Liu Ying, who was still begging for mercy, Qi Min'er smiled and took off a plain hosta from her bun, and gently used this hairpin to pull Liu Ying's hair in a bun, and then patted her hand and comforted:
"Why is Sister Liu so alarmed, I don't mean to blame you in my heart, I entered the library today, I want to borrow a few books to read, one of which is called "Abandoning the Darkness and Casting for the Light", and another is called "Good Birds Choose Trees and Perch", has Sister Liu ever seen it?"
"Slave?"
Liu Ying didn't expect Concubine Qi Xian's attitude to be so gentle, but she rarely looked at the books in this library, since she entered this library as a female official, she was resting in the backyard, this library was originally a few people, and no one dared to accuse her of being lazy.
It's just that she is a little clever, after thinking carefully about the two books that Qi Min'er said, she couldn't help but feel a little clear in her heart, the other party didn't seem to be here to deal with her this time, but seemed to be wooing her, thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said:
"Qi Yu Niangniang's words, the slave maid has indeed seen it, and she has read it through many times."
