The concubine shook her head in disapproval: "Hongzhu, this is something that Lord Long Live personally told you. I can't do anything for you on weekdays. It's rare that I can do anything well."
She smiled gently, like an orchid blooming, and her tranquility was moving: "Not to mention that copying sutras with devotion will bring you blessings. When you enshrine these sutras in front of the Buddha in the future, you can also pray for the longevity of the Lord, the health of the dragon, and the health of the Queen Mother."
Hongzhu sighed and stopped trying to persuade her. She knew that she could not persuade her empress, so she took advantage of this opportunity to report the news that had spread outside to Concubine Qing.
Concubine Qing walked to the window, looked at the palace facing south, and murmured: "This has never happened before..."
Hongzhu asked tentatively: "Mother, why don't you go and have a look? I heard that the empress in other palaces said they wanted to see her after hearing about this."
Concubine Qing waved her hand to interrupt and shook her head gently: "There's no rush, just let them go and don't cause too much trouble."
She turned around with a look of sadness on her face: "The Queen Mother is not happy when I come into the palace. She should be careful in her words and deeds, cultivate her moral character, and uphold integrity. How can she go out and enjoy the excitement? You can't go either."
At the end, his eyes fell on Hong Zhu.
Hongzhu's throat was blocked for a moment and he responded.
In these years, the concubine Qing lived a life of asceticism, being cautious and cautious, not daring to make any mistakes. Although she was a concubine, she was as low-key as if there was no such person in the palace.
Even so, Concubine Qing still refused to invite the Queen Mother to see her.
Hongzhu couldn't help but feel sorry for her: "My Lady, it was not your fault in the beginning. Over the years, you have been polite and considerate to the Queen Mother, and you have taken her words seriously. These servants all see it, but they just can't understand it.
, How could the Queen Mother be so cruel to you? You and she are obviously the closest in the harem..."
The more Concubine Qing listened, the worse her face became. In the end, she was already sullen: "Shut up! Are you the one who can make such arrogant opinions about the Queen Mother?"
Hongzhu knelt down, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Concubine Qing sighed softly: "You have served me for many years, and I can't bear to punish you. You can go out and punish yourself."
"Yes." Hongzhu responded, then stepped back.
Not long after, the sound of slaps was heard outside the main hall, and the expressions of the people in the hall had returned to calm.
Early the next morning, Qunfang Hall.
When the nuns saw that the beautiful girls had worked so hard, and some of them looked a little bit tired, they told the Queen Mother to lighten the beautiful girls' homework for the time being.
The teaching of etiquette and rules, which was not a heavy burden originally, is even lighter now.
The show girls got up early. After learning "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" by themselves, they got up earlier than before.
Suddenly I feel free, but I am not used to it. I still get up as early as before, so I have a lot of time in the morning to be busy.
After a night of recovery, Chen Sisi finally adjusted himself, returned to his previous appearance, and took the initiative to find Wu Fang'er.
Yesterday, she gritted her teeth and left Wu Fang'er's cabin. She didn't get anything done. She made excuses later for not staying with Wu Fang'er. She was afraid that she couldn't control herself.
Wu Fang'er was still in the whirlpool of happiness that she was appreciated by the emperor, especially the respectful and considerate manner in which the palace officials treated her, which made her swell unknowingly.
When she saw Chen Sisi, she immediately asked: "Sisi, why don't you wear the pair of earrings I gave you?" Her tone was somewhat reproachful.
With just one sentence, Chen Sisi almost failed, and he was so blocked that he almost couldn't get up and died from internal injuries.
Just that pair of broken earrings, with all the traces of damage, even a maid could not look down upon, so Wu Fang'er actually had the nerve to let her wear them?!
Chen Sisi quickly took a deep breath and smiled slowly: "The gift Fang'er gave me is so precious. I'm afraid that it will be damaged, so I just kept it."
When he said this, Chen Sisi was vomiting blood in his heart.
Wu Fang'er then gave up and raised her hand to open her sleeves: "Si Si, look." She excitedly began to show off the pair of ice flower hibiscus jade bracelets she got.
Chen Sisi listened with a smile and gave a few words of praise from time to time. The reward from that person would certainly be good.
The pink and shiny bracelet looked like it was of high quality, and it matched the woman's fair wrist very well. It even made Wu Fang'er's thick-jointed wrist look better, which made Chen Sisi secretly resentful.
After watching it for a while, Chen Sisi's smile gradually faded and he looked worried. He hesitated to speak: "Okay, okay, it's just Fang'er. I wonder if you have ever thought about it..."
She seemed to be worried about Wu Fang'er. A normal person would think something had happened and would feel uneasy.
But Wu Fang'er was not a normal person. It was as if she had never seen a good thing. Her eyes were still glued to the bracelet and she couldn't pull it off. She even muttered something that everyone should take a look at. This was a reward from Lord Long Live.
Then he asked: "Sisi, do you think I look good wearing it like this?" I deliberately wore the bracelet outside my sleeve, for fear that others would not see it.
Chen Sisi took another deep breath, wondering if that person had made a mistake. How could someone with such shallow eyelids win his favor?
Later, Chen Sisi brought up her worries several times, but Wu Fang'er didn't understand and didn't react much.
When faced with such an idiot, Chen Sisi couldn't provoke him even if he wanted to.
In the end, Chen Sisi finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly: "Have you never thought that someone would disobey you and cause trouble for you?"
Wu Fang'er was very surprised: "Long live the Lord's reward to me, who dares to refuse to accept it? Isn't Su Siru afraid of me?"
Chen Sisi was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know what to say to this idiot.
Su Siru thought she was too stupid and didn't even want to waste the effort of quarreling with her.
This idiot actually thought he was afraid of her?
Chen Sisi felt powerless and simply added fuel to the fire: "Fang'er, didn't you just want other sisters to see this pair of bracelets? While there is still some time, why don't you go now? Good things must be given to everyone.
Look, I'm the only one who knows about it, what a pity."
These words deeply touched Wu Fanger’s heart!
Her eyes lit up: "Do you think so too?"
Since entering the palace, Wu Fang'er has been living a very miserable life, not daring to say a word loudly. With Chen Sisi's support, she felt that it was time to feel proud.
So she wore the pair of bracelets, picked out some gifts and hung them in a conspicuous place on her body, and went wherever there were many people.
When the other ladies saw her, they chimed in with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Wu Fang'er became more energetic and proud, and kept talking.
It's a pity that Chen Sisi declined to be with her, otherwise Wu Fang'er would have felt better.
How should I put it, for people like Wu Fang'er, when it comes to jealousy, the showgirls feel that it's not something they can do.
The key is that you really can't find anything to be jealous of. Only people like Wu Li have the need to be jealous.
But the way he behaves is so disgusting that people don’t want to do it. In short, it’s hard to describe.
The other ladies were so upset that they just walked away and ignored her.
At this point, after Wu Fang'er received the reward, she was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, running in an increasingly stupid and unruly direction, but she didn't know it.
The first backlash soon came.
Su Siru promised Lihua not to cause trouble as much as possible. She felt that her endurance skills had improved somewhat, and she turned a blind eye when she saw Wu Fang'er jumping around.
It's a pity that someone is not smart and wants to mess with her.
Su Siru had a sullen face, feeling that even if she lowered her level, she couldn't bear it now. If she didn't give her some strength, she would really think she was easy to bully.
So when Wu Fang'er went to an uninhabited corner, she led a few lackeys around to block the corner, and repaired Wu Fang'er on the spot. She taught her how to behave, and told her that an aunt is still an aunt, and a bully is still a bully.
Of course, Su Siru was a thief and experienced. She didn't dare to damage the pair of ice flower hibiscus jade bracelets and let others take them off first.
Then she took action herself and went to the dark place to greet Wu Fang'er, so that she could not tell from the outside, but the flesh hurt so much that it would not break the person, so she was very measured.
Finally, after a severe threat, Su Siru took the people away.
After the others left, Wu Fang'er sat on the ground with two bracelets placed well next to her.
Her eyes were empty and confused, and she felt that the world was different from what she imagined.
Su Siru had never made a move before, so why would she dare to take action now that she has received a reward? Aren't you afraid of her retaliation in the future?
Wu Fang'er couldn't figure out this problem, but soon there would be more backlash that she didn't expect!
