Chapter 196: All Punishments
Luo Chengjing looked at it, the injury on Xue Cairen's face was indeed a little miserable, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xue Cairen continue: "The concubine was beaten like this by Cui Jieyu at the banquet of Zhuang Concubine Niangniang, Zhuang Concubine Niangniang only knows to protect Cui Jieyu, the concubine really has nowhere to reason, she can only come to the emperor, the emperor must be the master of the concubine." ”
After hearing Xue Cairen's words, Luo Chengjing swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How did Concubine Zhuang protect Cui Jieyu?" ”
Xue Cairen cried and said: "Cui Jieyu beat the concubine, and the concubine asked her to give the concubine an explanation, but Concubine Zhuang asked Cui Jieyu to go back to her palace. ”
Luo Chengjing understood what Xue Cairen meant, and asked, "You mean that Concubine Zhuang didn't let you continue to seek justice from Cui Jieyu at the banquet?" ”
Xue Cairen nodded, "Actually, the concubine can also understand, Cui Jieyu and Concubine Zhuang entered the palace at the same time, and the relationship between the two is naturally deeper than that between the concubine and Concubine Zhuang, but the concubine went to attend the small banquet held by Concubine Zhuang today, and the concubine was beaten by Cui Jieyu at the banquet, so how should Concubine Zhuang say something fair." ”
Luo Chengjing waited for Xue Cairen to finish speaking, and then snorted coldly: "Do you still know that you are going to attend the relocation banquet held by Concubine Zhuang today?" ”
Xue Cairen looked at Luo Chengjing with some astonishment.
"According to what you said, you and Cui Jieyu had a quarrel at Concubine Zhuang's banquet, Concubine Zhuang didn't blame the two of you, she just didn't let the two of you continue to disturb the banquet, could you still do something wrong?"
"But ......" Xue Cairen was speechless for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "But the concubine was beaten like this by Cui Jieyu, shouldn't the concubine seek justice for herself?" ”
"Concubine Zhuang can't stop you from coming to me to complain? Concubine Zhuang can say that you are wrong about this, and you are not allowed to trouble Cui Jieyu after you come down? Luo Chengjing asked.
Xue Cairen didn't dare to lie, there were so many people at today's banquet, if she lied, it would be easy to be exposed, so she could only shake her head according to the actual situation.
"Then did you tell Concubine Zhuang how to protect Cui Jieyu? The concubine should watch the two of you continue to make trouble at her palace relocation banquet and completely ruin her banquet, right? ”
Xue Cairen was silent.
Seeing her like this, Luo Chengjing waved his hand and said: "Okay, Cui Jieyu is at fault in this matter today, and you are also at fault, Cui Jieyu is grounded for a month, for the sake of your serious injury, you will be grounded for half a month." ”
Xue Cairen was not convinced, she was obviously a victim, but the emperor had to punish herself in the end.
But Xue Cairen was not stupid enough to argue with Luo Chengjing on the spot, she swallowed the disobedience she was about to blurt out back into her stomach, and with a stomach full of grievances, she cried and said with a sad face: "The concubine obeys the order." ”
Agarwood Pavilion, Cui Jieyu received Luo Chengjing's command, knowing that she was only relieved after being grounded for a month, today, she was only grounded for a month, which is indeed a relatively light punishment, and she just happened to be hurt by the injury on her face during the period of grounding.
Cui Jieyu was fighting with Xue Cairen at that time, and she actually suffered some injuries on her face, but the injuries on her face were not serious, she was caught by Xue Cairen, just two long nail prints.
Jinhuan gave medicine to the wound on Cui Jieyu's face, put away the medicine bottle and said with a smile: "Jieyu, you don't know, although the emperor banned your feet, Xue Cairen was also grounded by the emperor, look at how arrogant she will be in the future." ”
Cui Jieyu asked suspiciously, "Why is she also grounded?" ”
"Who knows." Jin Huan said: "Anyway, the slave maid heard that Xue Cairen was also banned for half a month. ”
Cui Jieyu thought about it when she heard this, and guessed: "Could it be that the emperor thinks that our two concubines are scuffling together and out of form?" ”
Jin Huan thought it was possible, but she felt that no matter why Xue Cairen was grounded, but she ran to the emperor to complain, and in the end, she was also grounded, which was enough for everyone in the harem to laugh for a long time.
In Ruichang Palace, after the banquet was dispersed, Lu Yuning only knew from Qing Dai's mouth that Xue Cairen went to Jianzhang Palace to complain, but was confined by Luo Chengjing.
Qing Dai smiled and said: "Niangniang, the emperor has banned Xue Cairen's feet, shouldn't Xue Cairen disturb your palace relocation banquet?" ”
Lu Yuning smiled and shook his head, "It shouldn't be." ”
Judging from Xue Cairen's performance before leaving, Lu Yuning guessed that Xue Cairen must have wanted to climb himself and pull himself into the water, but the emperor knew right from wrong, but in the end, it was Xue Cairen himself who was unlucky.
If Xue Cairen didn't want to bite herself in front of the emperor, Xue Cairen, as a victim, the emperor should not have grounded her.
Today, Lu Yuning moved to the palace, Luo Chengjing gave Lu Yuning face, and naturally came to Ruichang Palace at night.
As soon as Luo Chengjing came, Lu Yuning was courteous to Luo Chengjing.
"How can Concubine Ai be so enthusiastic today?" Luo Chengjing said with a smile.
Lu Yuning smiled sweetly, and said coquettishly: "The emperor is wise and martial, distinguishes between right and wrong, and does not listen to the words of the family, so that the person who indiscriminately climbs the concubine has been punished, and the concubine is grateful to the emperor in her heart, and she has nothing to show it, so she can only express the concubine's gratitude to the emperor with actions." ”
Luo Chengjing, who listened to Lu Yuning's series of words, laughed out loud, "Concubine Ai's fart is a little louder." ”
That being said, Luo Chengjing is actually happy in her heart, this kind of person who has maintained herself knows her maintenance, and lets herself know that she is grateful for her maintenance in her heart It is really difficult not to be happy.
This night, the people who served in Ruichang Palace heard Luo Chengjing's laughter, Luo Chengjing is not a particularly serious emperor, he often laughs on weekdays, but most of the time he just smiles, but there are very few laughs like this.
This also gave the palace people and eunuchs who were newly transferred to Ruichang Palace to serve have a new understanding of the degree of favor of Concubine Zhuang.
Lu Yuning pouted slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What the concubine said is all heartfelt words, doesn't the emperor like to listen to the concubine tell the truth?" ”
"Of course I love to hear the truth like Concubine Ai." Luo Chengjing accepted the laughter, but the smile at the corners of his mouth and eyes had not yet dissipated.
Lu Yuning smiled and said, "From then on, the concubines often told the emperor. ”
But after finishing speaking, before Luo Chengjing could speak, Lu Yuning shook his head again and denied: "Forget it, the emperor has heard a lot of such things on weekdays, and the concubines occasionally say that the emperor still feels strange, if the concubines say it all day long, the emperor should be tired of listening." ”
"I really don't hear anything like that on a daily basis." Luo Chengjing said.
It's not that the minister and other concubines won't pat him on the back, but the ministers and other concubines in the central government won't shoot him so bluntly and so unabashedly even if they pat his ass.
