Xianyue's scolding without asking for any reason made Zhichun a little depressed. She bowed her knees helplessly and said, "I'm so rude, please forgive me."
In response to this, the Ning family asked her to excuse herself very politely, and then the Ning family said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
Xianyue knew what they wanted to say, and said: "I will tell the emperor, I think it won't be anything big, just don't worry."
This sentence undoubtedly gave the Ning family a reassurance, and they quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After sending the two of them out, Xianyue said: "Go prepare Jianyu, I am going to the Yangxin Hall."
Zhichun endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and said: "Master, do you really want to plead for them? Although the slaves were not in the imperial garden at that time, it is conceivable that what they said was not the truth, at least not the whole truth;
Concubine Yi is not the kind of person who doesn’t show mercy when she gains power.”
Xianyue gently rubbed her temples and said: "When you are close to vermillion, you are red; when you are close to ink, you are black. Concubine Yi is now with your concubine. Do you think she will still be the person you know?"
"But..." As soon as Zhichun said two words, Qi Kuan grabbed her and said, "Let's go, let's prepare the shoulder carriage."
After being pulled out of the main hall by Qi Kuan, Zhichun shook off his hand and said angrily: "Do you and I need to be together for this kind of thing?"
Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that if you continue to talk, you will start to argue with the master. Don't forget what Dr. Song told you before. Don't let the master get angry, so as not to cause fetal infection."
"I remember." Zhichun said with some depression: "Even if you didn't stop me just now, I planned to stop it, but I feel really uncomfortable in my heart. Tell me, the master and Concubine Yi have always been so close, why did they get into trouble because of a trivial matter?
become this
"Look." After a pause, she continued: "Last night, the emperor came to see the master, and he also tried to persuade the master about Concubine Yi. But looking at the master's appearance today, it was obvious that he didn't listen, otherwise he wouldn't have listened just now.
I will agree to help Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhang."
Qi Kuan nodded her brow and said, "Okay, don't frown all the time. Be careful, you will already have a lot of wrinkles before you get old."
Zhichun glared at him and said, "I'm almost annoyed that you are still in the mood to joke. You should think of a solution quickly. To be honest, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days. I'm really worried about the master."
Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "The Emperor and Concubine Ying can't persuade him, so how can we persuade him? But... think about it carefully, has the master ever let us down over the years?"
Zhichun thought about it doubtfully, shook his head and said, "That's true, but what does it have to do with this?"
Qi Kuan said meaningfully: "Since it has not happened before, then this time, you also believe in the master, she will not let us down."
Zhichun looked at Qi Kuan for a few times and said suspiciously: "You...are you hiding something from me?"
Qi Kuan smiled and said: "I can hide anything from you, don't think about it." After that, he added: "Hurry up and prepare the shoulder carriage. If it's too late, the master will tell you."
Zhichun walked around him and said, "No, you must be hiding something from me. Tell me what it is."
"You and I have always been waiting by the master's side. Even if we want to, we can't hide it. It really doesn't happen. In short, just remember to trust the master." After saying that, Qi Kuan shut up and let Zhichun test it to no avail.
After Ning and Zhang left Yanxi Palace, they returned to Jingyuxuan where Zhang lived. Although they had Xiayue's promise, they were still uneasy until the news came out from Yangxin Palace.
, said one sentence after another.
After waiting like this until dusk and sunset, the Yangxin Palace finally sent someone to convey the order, and the two of them were kept in retreat for five days, and were fined three months' salary.
After the palace attendants left, Mrs. Zhang patted her chest and said in relief: "It's okay, okay, I've been worried that the emperor would dethrone her as a concubine before she was officially canonized."
Ning said with a relaxed expression: "I have told you before, as long as you ask the imperial concubine to help, nothing will happen." Based on the arrogant and vicious words they said in the imperial garden, such a punishment is really light.
Mrs. Zhang said flatteringly: "Yes, fortunately, my sister made a quick decision and thought of going to the imperial concubine to plead for mercy. If I were alone, I would be so panicked that I wouldn't be able to think of anything."
Ning clapped her hands proudly and said, "Since there is nothing left, I should go back."
"I will send my sister out." When she walked to the door of Jingyu Pavilion, she happened to see Wei Jingxuan coming back and walking in the direction of Yimeixuan. Mrs. Zhang became angry when she thought of Wei Jingxuan's provocation in front of Mr. Huang in the Imperial Garden.
He deliberately blocked her from passing by.
Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and said softly: "Sister, please give in."
Mrs. Ning sneered and said: "Hey, I'm calling my sister now. Didn't I talk about my concubine before?" Then, she said: "It's a pity that my concubine has to spend so much effort and jump up and down in Yiyi.
I provoked you in front of the imperial concubine, but the result was only a five-day grounding and a three-month fine. Are you very disappointed?"
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyes and said: "Sister, just remember to be grounded for five days. If I read correctly, sister has violated the Emperor's grounding order by standing where she shouldn't be, and so is Sister Zhang Bin.
"
Ning didn't expect that she would catch this, so she couldn't help but panic. Zhang became even more unbearable, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "I...I just sent Sister Shenbi out, I'll go back right away."
Mrs. Ning grabbed Ms. Zhang who was about to leave, stared at her hard, and then turned to Wei Jingxuan and said: "Even if it is a grounding, it will not take effect until I return to my residence, right? As for Concubine Zhang, just like
What she said was to send me out, is this also wrong?"
Wei Jingxuan smiled and lowered her head and said: "I don't dare, I just kindly remind you two sisters not to be careless and violate the prohibition, otherwise the emperor will blame you and it will be difficult to explain."
"Huh, no need to worry about my concubine." Mrs. Ning said, and left angrily. After she left, Mrs. Zhang also hurriedly returned to her room and closed the door tightly, lest she accidentally walked out.
Faced with this scene, Wei Jingxuan returned to Yimeixuan with her usual smile. Xiao Yuanzi beat her legs for her and said angrily: "I got angry when I thought about how Concubine Shen looked just now. The emperor punished her really hard this time.
Qing; just now in the Chonghua Palace, the servants were almost furious when they saw Concubine Yi. It was pitiful to think about it. The concubine was said to be like this, but she didn't show any signs of it."
Wei Jingxuan took the moon wheel and rolled it on her arm and said slowly: "She persuaded the imperial concubine to intercede, so how can she not take it seriously? As for concubine Yi..." She narrowed her eyes and said: "I am becoming more and more jealous now.
I don’t know whether she and the imperial concubine are really falling out with each other or are pretending to be falling out."
