As soon as Wen Xi returned to the palace, she ordered to summon the concubines in the harem. She also sent to summon the third elder brother who came to the palace today to pay respects and the fifth elder brother who lived in the elder brother's house. He also invited the masters of Yuqing Palace, Prince Yinreng and Crown Princess Guar.
Jiashi.
To the concubine, the prince can summon her, but to the prince she can only say "please".
The four concubines and six concubines were all seated. The prince's seat was located next to Wenxi's seat, sitting together with Guarjia. The fifth elder brother was still young, so he stood behind Concubine Yi. Wenxi took a sip slowly.
Cha glanced at Concubine Rong and asked, "Why hasn't Third Brother arrived yet?"
Concubine Rong stood up and said slowly: "Back to the imperial concubine, it is not appropriate for the prince's brother to set foot in the harem."
Today I am the crown prince, and the fifth elder brother is all here... Wen Xi smiled coldly and said: "That's true! It's just that many unsightly things happened during this period. I was ordered by the emperor to rectify it.
Even the prince has abandoned government affairs, is it possible that the third elder brother is even busier than the prince?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yinreng looked at Concubine Rong with an evil look in his eyes.
Wen Xi's words are heart-breaking! As the prince, the prince is naturally busy. Who is busier than the prince? Of course there is only Kangxi. How can the elder brother next to him be "busier" than the prince? Why are you busy? What are you busy with?
!It’s thought-provoking!
Ever since the concubine arrived at Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine had not shown any smile. She was very different from her usual gentle and generous appearance, so everyone became cautious. Concubine Rong also had to be careful, and had to hurriedly ask the nuns around her to invite
Third brother, come here!
The tea cup in Wen Xi's hand hit the table heavily, making a crisp sound! He glanced at the concubines with cold eyes. With a slight hum, his eyes fell on the prince Yin Reng. Yin Reng is now an adult, and the wives and concubines in Yuqing Palace have become
He had many concubines before and after, and Fu Jin had a miscarriage, so he still has no heirs. The eldest brother still has four daughters! He sighed: "It is too difficult for the prince's heirs!"
Yin Reng lowered his head for a moment, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes: "It's the Li Jia family that is not blessed." The emperor's eldest grandson, who had been waiting for a long time, was just gone. The prince was naturally sad, and what emerged from his sadness was disgust.
I hate that Li Jia's family can't even save their children.
Wen Xi hummed and said in a serious tone: "That's right! Since even the prince said she was not blessed, it shows that she is really not blessed! She had two inexplicable miscarriages before and after, which shows that she is not blessed to have a grandson!" She said coldly: "
Since she is so unlucky, she should accumulate more good fortune for herself instead of blaming it on others!" She had had a miscarriage for the first time before, and Guarjia hadn't even entered the Yuqing Palace yet! Of course it had nothing to do with her!
Wen Xi scolded again: "The prince is busy on weekdays and has no time to take care of the backyard! Guarjia, as the crown prince, why don't you take care of the people in the backyard?!"
The gentle tone of her voice was naturally harsh, but she was helping the Crown Princess overtly and covertly. Guarjia stood up in a hurry, knelt down and apologized: "It was Shuying's fault, please punish me."
Wen Xi sighed and said in a more relaxed tone: "I can't blame you entirely. You are the future mother of the country, but you have no power, so you will inevitably be underestimated! It's just that you can't control others, and the concubines should take good care of them.
Just take care of it! Don’t let others think that it’s your big mistake if the prince spoils his concubine and destroys his wife!”
The words seemed to be lecturing the princess, but in fact they were lecturing the prince. Yinreng suddenly felt embarrassed on his face, but did not say a word.
"Yes, Shuying will remember your mother-in-law's teachings." Guarjia bowed her head and said respectfully.
Wen Ru's tone softened for the most part. She continued: "It's not entirely your fault. After I returned to the palace, I found that the rumors were rampant. After careful investigation, I found that it was not the person who leaked from Yuqing Palace, but Concubine Hui.
People in the palace can't control their mouths!" His eyes fell on Concubine Hui Nala, full of coldness.
Concubine Hui stood up in a hurry and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine must have misunderstood. How could the people in the concubine's palace say such nonsense!"
Wen Xi indeed has no evidence to prove that Concubine Hui spread the message, but even if there is no evidence, so what? Wen Xi snorted coldly: "The emperor found out about this matter and informed this palace. Did Concubine Hui mean to say that the emperor
is it wrong?!"
Concubine Hui was immediately embarrassed. She did not dare to say that Kangxi was wrong. She was speechless for a moment and had to lower her head.
"I remember, this month it is Concubine Yi's turn to take charge of the Sixth Palace?" So, the blame was placed on Concubine Yi again.
Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "I failed to control the six palaces well. I ask the imperial concubine to atone for her sins."
"Since the control is not good, there is no need to control it in the future!" Wen Xi said this and directly deprived her of the right to co-manage the Sixth House!
Concubine Yi suddenly panicked. If she were to gain palace power, she would definitely lag behind the other three concubines in the future. How could she be willing to do so, but she didn’t know how to defend herself for a while. Wen Xi usually treated the fourth concubine very generously, so now she suddenly changed
With such a face, they were at a loss as to what to do.
The fifth elder brother was a little angry for a moment, and stepped forward to ask: "The imperial concubine does not punish those who spread rumors, why should she punish her?!"
Wen Xi smiled coldly and said: "It seems that Concubine Yi's fault is not only her failure to control the Sixth Palace, but also her failure to teach her son well!"
Only then did Concubine Yi understand that Wen Xi had no good intentions in calling Fifth Brother here, so she hurriedly pulled Yinqi back and whispered: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
However, the fifth elder brother refused to shut up. Instead, he stared at Wen Xi with increasing annoyance and said, "The imperial concubine is so indifferent to right and wrong, does she have to bully others?!" Thinking of Ruyan's matter again, Yinqi woke up early.
I was on fire, and I just wanted to vent it out today.
Using power to bully others? What Yinqi said is right! She just wanted to use power to bully others! Wenxi was happy to see the fifth elder brother say disrespectful words, so that she would have more reason to punish Yi Fei, so she sneered: "Since Yi Fei
If you don’t teach your son well, it must be because you have to take care of the affairs of the Sixth House and don’t have time on weekdays. I will be able to concentrate on teaching my son from now on!”
He met Yinqi's resentful eyes again and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you need to remember! The mother is more valuable than the son. If you have a good son, you will naturally be honored. If you have a shameless son, you will be honored.
It will hurt my mother! Today is just a small punishment, but tomorrow I will lose my life!" Wen Xi's words had a hint.
There was a hint of murderous intent in the cold tone of her voice, forcing Yinqi to take several steps back. He suddenly remembered what he had done and couldn't help but feel frightened.
Wen Xi sneered: "Don't think you are very smart, don't think I don't know what you are doing secretly!" Her eyes fell coldly on the third elder brother Yinzhi who had just arrived, "There is something wrong with me.
It’s very clear, and the Emperor naturally knows it better!”
The third brother hurriedly lowered his head, a pair of hands suddenly grasped his sleeves, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
Wen Xi continued: "The emperor cares about you. Blood is thicker than water. He can only care about you once or twice, but he will not indulge you forever!"
"There was someone who knelt for three hours outside the gate of my palace last year in the ice and snow, but his scars healed and he forgot the pain!" His gentle eyes looked directly at the third elder brother Yinzhi, who was responsible for the death of Yulu Dai when he fell into the water.
Although the sachet hurt Wen Xi by accident, the two grudges combined made Wen Xi's tone become colder.
The red gold armor on Wen Xi's little finger is gorgeous and dazzling. Today she specially wore a grand imperial concubine's auspicious dress. She showed off her momentum and was about to break out in the Sixth Palace! Wen Xi said: "Brothers are going to separate houses, so I won't do it any more."
It is under the jurisdiction of this palace, but don’t forget that your mother-in-law still lives in the harem. Since I am in charge of the Central Palace and the Sixth Palace, if you do something wrong, it is your mother-in-law who teaches you.
Not good! You should be severely punished!"
Yinzhi couldn't help but clenched his fists under his sleeves, clenching them loudly. Except for the fourth elder brother and the prince, who didn't have a biological mother? Everyone must be afraid of the rat!
"I heard that the third elder brother pampered a Han concubine with small feet, and actually stepped on San Fujin's head! Such a concubine will destroy his wife -" his eyes fell on Concubine Rong beside him, "Ma Jia, you are
How to teach your son like this?!"
Concubine Rong knew very well that what the third elder brother had done back then and the sachet had already been discovered by the imperial concubine. She took a deep breath and did not dare to quibble. She could only kneel down and plead guilty: "I have done something wrong, please punish the imperial concubine."
."
Seeing Concubine Rong kneeling down, Yinzhi hurriedly lifted up her robe and knelt down, saying, "It's Yinzhi's fault. Please don't blame E Niang!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but sneer, "Mother and son are one, sharing weal and woe! Isn't it possible that Third Brother doesn't understand such a simple truth?"
Yinzhi gritted his teeth and his tightly clenched fists were trembling. He could only kowtow deeply and say, "Please forgive me, imperial concubine!"
Today, in front of the concubines in the harem, Wen Xi wants to truly establish her authority for once! She also gives a little warning to those restless people! Wen Xi is a concubine, so naturally she cannot punish the prince in the branch house.
But their biological mother is still living under Wen Xi's hands, so Wen Xi will be punished naturally!
"The third elder brother is really filial!" Wen Xi praised, but her tone was cold, "It's just that you should be more filial! Don't jump up and down and do things you shouldn't do! Don't bring humiliation to your biological mother.
!”
"Come here -" Wen Xi ordered coldly, "Concubine Rong is not good at teaching her son. She will be punished by having to kneel for three hours outside Chengqian Palace under the scorching sun!"
Concubine Rong is the fourth concubine and is an extremely honorable person in the palace. If she is really forced to kneel outside in front of everyone and fall in the eyes of the servants who come and go, her face will be lost! What's more important is that
, Concubine Rong is not young anymore, how can she kneel outside under the scorching sun for three hours? Her body must not be able to bear it!
When Yinzhi saw Concubine Rong getting up, she was about to walk out. She hurriedly went up on her knees and hugged Concubine Rong's legs, "Eniang, no!"
Concubine Rong is also quite popular, but these days it’s too late for the concubines to protect themselves, so how can they say a kind word for her? With interests at hand, let’s just wipe the slate clean!
Concubine Rong turned around and said: "I am willing to accept the punishment, but please ask the imperial concubine to expose the matter and forgive the third elder brother." Concubine Rong only found out about the palace visit afterwards and killed Caizhou's family on behalf of the third elder brother.
, to avoid future troubles. Although she did not participate in the plan, she was an accessory, so punishing her is not an injustice!
Wen Xi smiled and said: "Okay." She didn't have any evidence, so she couldn't do anything about the third elder brother.
"No!" Yinzhi suddenly roared and kowtowed heavily: "It's all Yinzhi's fault and has nothing to do with E Niang. Yinzhi is willing to be punished for E Niang!"
With a warm smile on her face, she said: "You are a filial son, of course you are willing, but it is a pity that I am not willing!" Then he ordered: "Xiaoluzi, please go out and kneel down, move the entrance screen, and let everyone take a good look.
It may serve as a warning!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
