Section XVIII

"I believe that having a sister in charge of the side palace will definitely make the concubines happy. Early in the morning, Su Qi summoned all the female histories of the Imperial Tea Bureau and announced that she would send Yimei to the side palace to be the head of the female history. The side palace, compared to the imperial palace of the Zheng Dynasty, is the palace where the former queens and concubines lived. The first queen and concubine seem to be very beautiful, but the side palace is actually worse than the cold palace of the emperor of the current dynasty. One can imagine how hard it is to be a female historian there.

And what made Su Qi ruthlessly send Yimei to the side palace was not only because of jealousy, but also because of Yimei's disrespect for herself.

Here's how it happened:

The two followers of Ziyun who died have been dissatisfied with Su Qi since she became her aunt, and often complained in private. This time, Su Qi was arrested, and in order to establish his prestige and vent his frustration, Su Qi decided to punish them well.

"Fifty slaps on each other's mouths. Su Qi sat and gently glanced at the two kneeling people, said coldly, and picked up the teacup. No one dared to make a sound, and the two men did not move. Su Qi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at them again, and said, "What, how do you want me to teach you how to slap your mouth?" The two attendants reluctantly began to slap each other's faces, of course, all at the same time. Su Qi ordered them to use some force several times, but they still didn't improve. This completely angered Su Qi. She slammed the teacup down on the ground close to them and shouted, "I'll let you hit hard!" Everyone shuddered with fright, and the person who was punished for slapping his mouth finally stepped up. Soon they could see clear blood-red palm prints on their faces, and the crisp sound of "pop, pop" Su Qi sounded very proud. Seeing that the corners of their mouths were oozing blood, no one dared to plead. Fortunately, a shrewd little palace maid found a vacancy and hurriedly ran to the main hall to ask Yimei for help. Yi Mei hurried back as soon as she heard the news, she didn't expect Su Qi to suddenly do such a thing. Shock, surprise, and worry made Yimei can't help but speed up her pace.

Yi Mei ran back to the main hall of the Imperial Tea Bureau, and immediately slowed down her pace, and walked in cautiously, she didn't dare to plead rashly for the time being. Su Qi obviously found her too, and the whole person began to sit still. However, she quickly adjusted, and even though her heart was weak, she still commanded her palm indifferently.

"Aunt Foreman, they have also slapped each other's mouths for so long. Forget it!" Yimei said as she finally stepped out of the crowd.

"No!" Su Qi's words were more angry, and he was angry with Mei.

With Yimei taking the lead, the others were not so afraid, and they pleaded for others. Who knew that this angered Su Qi even more, she blushed and scolded loudly: "Are you all going to rebel?" and looked at Yimei and asked in an almost begging tone: "Sister, do you even want to rebel against me?"

Yimei felt very sorry for Su Qi. She said: "You are the aunt of the foreman, no one dares to oppose you and will not oppose you." These two daring things slander you behind your back, and you really deserve to be beaten, but don't be too forgiving and forgiving. ”

"I won't forgive them, I can't do it!" Su Qi hated the roots of his teeth as long as he remembered the grievances he had suffered before, and the joints of his hands turned white because he clenched his fists too hard. When she finished speaking, she burst into tears. Seeing that her anger had decreased, Yimei stood up and motioned with her hand for everyone else to go out quietly. She herself walked up to Su Qi, gently stroked her back and said, "It's over, since it's over, there's no need to dwell on it." ”

Yes, my affair with them is over. But why are you messing with me again, why are they only looking at you without me, why do I have to live in your shadow all the time?

Su Qi, whose head was buried in Yimei's arms, turned out to be thinking like this.

Later, there was an order to transfer Yimei to the side palace as the head of the female history.

Later, there was what Su Qi said to Yimei.

After hearing Su Qi's words, Yimei glanced at her with mixed feelings and said, "Yes, I will definitely serve the concubines with all my heart!"

"That's good!" Su Qi happily took Yimei's hand and said with relief: "I thought my sister didn't want to go, it seems that I was too careful."

"No, how could I not support you!" Yimei tried her best to hide her inner unhappiness and laughed with Su Qi.

"Alright then, I'll go first. Prepare to go over early tomorrow morning. ”

After Su Qi left, the others gathered around and began to talk about it. Some of them are upset about Yimei, some are worried about her, and some are curious about the life of the side palace. Yimei was surrounded by these noises, and could only smile at them one by one, but in her heart, it was as if someone had overturned the five-flavor bottle and mixed some confusing soup.

"Why did you say that my aunt asked Sister Yimei to go to the side palace on an errand?"

"Yes, why?" the two little palace maids whispered on the way to the tea delivery area.

In addition to Su Qi wanting to take revenge on Yi Mei, her more important idea is to cut off the contacts between Yi Mei and Ziluo. Since the side palace is where the concubines live, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will. But the truth was very different from what Su Qi thought, at first I didn't know that Yimei went to the side palace, King An and King Ying, who came to ask her where Yimei had gone. Later, after they learned that Yimei was in the side palace, they used Su Qichuan as a microphone and even asked her to help invite her. Yimei almost never responds to King An's invitations, but she almost never refuses King Ying. However, An Zihao still persevered, and it seemed that he seemed to believe that sincerity was the golden stone. Both King Ying and King An invariably chose to ignore Su Qi's kindness and her affection.

Slowly, when grievances and jealousy accumulate more and more, grievances turn into hatred.

Hate injustice, hate God, hate Yimei.

Now that King An has clearly rejected himself, Su Qi has the idea of Prince Ying Luo again. Coincidentally, there was no book, and the day after she made up her mind, King Ying came to the Imperial Tea Bureau to run errands with her again.

"I soaked you in a new tribute snow top with emeralds, you can drink and see. Su Qi chose to ignore Ziluo's request from the beginning, and instead tried her best to behave and curry favor in front of him. Ziluo was absent-minded, took a sip hastily, put down the teacup in his hand, and kept looking out of the door with his eyes. Su Qi saw that there was a faint unhappiness in his eyes, but he still said easily: "You don't have to worry, I have already sent someone to invite my sister, and I should be able to arrive soon." ”

In fact, she didn't let anyone invite Yimei at all.

Su Qi said and took advantage of the situation to sit on the stool next to King Ying and asked worriedly, "Does Your Highness like my sister very much?"

Ziluo smiled shyly and didn't speak, and the flowers seemed to bloom all over the garden between his eyebrows.

"Actually, I ......" Su Qi said hard to make himself look shy and embarrassed, "I also like Your Highness." ”

Ziluo was so frightened that he suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Qi exaggeratedly, exclaiming with a smile and disbelief: "No, don't scare me!" After a pause, Ziluo felt that this was not good, so he gave her a step, "You're kidding, right?" Su Qi is a smart person, of course he won't embarrass himself too much. She took King Ying's words and smiled brightly and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid that His Highness will be too boring to sit and make a joke!"

"That's good!" Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief. The heart is still beating wildly.

"I'm going to see if my sister is here?" Su Qi made an excuse to go out.

After a long time, Su Qi instructed an errand maid to go in and tell Ziluo that Yimei was not available to see each other. And her own hatred for Yimei is getting deeper and deeper.
