There is an eight-leaf large screen between the main hall and the palace door, with pictures of the Eight Immortals painted in gold and gold. It is very gorgeous. Once removed, the situation outside the hall can be seen at a glance. Under the eyes of the concubines, Concubine Rong's face has already changed.
It's a sweep.
The third elder brother took action twice with the intention of blaming the prince, but he shouldn't have moved his hands to places he shouldn't have moved! Since he did it, Wen Xi will teach him a profound lesson! He will never forget it!
Concubine Rong walked slowly out of the main hall with her feet on the bottom of the flower pot. Under the gaze of everyone, she knelt on the floor outside the hall that had been scorched by the scorching sun. Even in summer, the concubines were dressed very strictly, with outer robes and inner clothes.
, the inner garment must be at least three layers, so it is particularly hot in summer, and ice basins must be placed in each palace. The warm wind blows, and the people in the palace feel hot, not to mention the concubine under the scorching sun outside.
Yinzhi looked anxiously, looking back at E Niang who was kneeling upright outside the hall, tears welling up in her eyes, and silently chanting: "E Niang..." Unconsciously, her eyes and nose were sore, and her fists hit her hard.
Tap on the floor.
Wen Xi sat upright, waving a round fan in her hand, and said: "It's not even the dog days of summer yet, but it's already so hot. It seems that I can bear it this year." While glancing at Third Brother, who was still kneeling on the ground.
, said: "Third Brother, please get up. I will not punish you to kneel down! Zhu'er, bring a chair for Third Brother to sit on."
Zhu'er was blessed, so he moved the chair where Concubine Rong was sitting and brought it to Third Brother. The chair was located on the center line of the hall, facing the outside. He was facing Concubine Rong, so Zhu'er was blessed again and spoke freely.
He was very polite: "Third brother, please sit down!"
This means that the mother will kneel outside and the son will sit inside...Yinzhi would naturally rather kneel!
Wen Xi said in a deep voice: "Third brother, please sit down!" There was an irresistible majesty in his tone.
Yinzhi lowered his head and said: "Yinzhi is unfilial and willing to kneel down."
Wen Xi laughed and said sarcastically: "Now do you know that you are unfilial? Why didn't you know earlier? If you had known earlier, Concubine Rong wouldn't have suffered the humiliation she has suffered today! You need to remember well that your mother-in-law's humiliation was due to you as her son.
It’s given to me!”
Yinzhi gritted his teeth and was speechless.
"Mother and son are one, sharing weal and woe! If the son does something wrong, the mother will bear the burden of freedom!" The gentle tone is full of sarcasm. "Today is just a punishment to kneel down. If there is a bigger mistake in the future, it will be more than that!
"
Listening to Wen Xi's threatening words, Yinzhi was speechless. She could only lower her head and endure it, not even daring to refute a word.
Wen Xi then turned around and said, "It's hot today. It's not easy for everyone. Zhu'er, tell the kitchen to prepare some ice bowls to relieve the heat for the sisters."
The more kindly Wen Xi treats everyone in the palace, the more miserable Concubine Rong is who is kneeling outside. But this misery is caused by her son! A mother has suffered on behalf of her son, so there is nothing to feel wronged about!
He glanced at the fifth elder brother who was behind Concubine Yi and was already as obedient as anything. He lowered his head and said nothing. But his hands were tightly holding his robe, which was even wrinkled. He was very energetic just now.
Well, now he has become mute.
The ice bowl was delivered, and the cold fragrance hit his nostrils. He held it with warm hands and looked at Concubine Yi's mother and son, saying: "Fifth elder brother! Please raise your head and take a good look! You need to take this as a warning! Don't imitate third elder brother.
One day I will harm my mother-in-law!"
The fifth elder brother raised his head. There was no anger in his eyes, but was full of worry and fear. Concubine Yi hurriedly bowed and humbly said: "I must teach the fifth elder brother well and never make any mistakes in the future!"
Wen Xi hummed and said, "Fifth elder brother, take a closer look and you will know how generous I am to you mother and son!" It's just that Concubine Yi was deprived of her right to co-manage the Sixth Palace! Wen Xi let fifth elder brother and Yi go.
Concubine Rong, and severely punishing Concubine Rong and Third Prince is enough to warn them.
When Wen Xi did this, firstly, it was the fifth brother's first offence, and he was impulsive, so he was young and ignorant; secondly, because it was an embarrassing matter, Wenxi could not forgive him at all; thirdly, the chair did not really hurt him.
she!
In less than half an hour, Concubine Rong was already sweating profusely outside, her face was red from the sun, and her body was crumbling. Yinzhi was kneeling there, looking back from time to time, and saw E Niang suffering such pain.
Unable to bear it any longer, he kowtowed and said, "I beg the imperial concubine to forgive me! E Niang is not in good health to begin with, and the sun outside is very harsh. Please spare E Niang this time!"
Wen Xi turned a blind eye to Yinzhi's pleas, turned to the concubines with a smile and said, "How does this ice bowl taste?"
Concubine Yi hurriedly complimented: "The things in the imperial concubine's palace are naturally the best!"
The other concubines also hurriedly praised each other, and for a while they were full of compliments. No one paid attention to Third Brother and Concubine Rong, they only focused on flattering Wen Xi.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said: "It's just an ordinary thing, but in the hot summer, it is really indispensable." Then she looked at the third elder brother and said: "Why didn't you give the third elder brother a bowl? I used to
I heard from Concubine Rong that Third Brother is afraid of heat and loves eating mung bean ice bowl the most."
Mung beans relieve the heat and taste good, making them a popular ice bowl in summer.
Yinzhi looked at Concubine Rong outside, whose body was crooked and almost fell to the ground. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry. She begged, "Concubine, please give the ice bowl given to Yinzhi to E Niang."
Bar."
Wen Xi snorted and said, "Let's wait until she finishes kneeling - if she can still use it at that time."
Putting down the empty bowl, Wen Xi looked at the fourth concubine, and then said with a straight face: "When the Japanese palace returned to the palace, for the sake of simplicity and convenience, the fourth concubine was ordered to take turns to control the sixth palace. Now it seems that it is very inconvenient! Still
It would be better if the four concubines worked together to manage the six palaces!"
In the past, Concubine Rong and the third prince were used to establish their authority, but now no one dares to oppose Wen Xi. The sixth concubine cannot get involved in the palace power, and I wish that the fourth concubine would suffer. Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were reprimanded, so naturally they dare not say anything more at this moment
Yan. Concubine Cheng is a gentle person and has already passed her temper.
"The affairs of the harem are very complicated, and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made if handled by one person. The Crown Princess is very careful in her affairs, so why not just take care of the monthly distribution of the harem from now on." Wen Xi said calmly.
Guarjia was immediately overjoyed. They paid out monthly, not only money, but also silks and satins for the four seasons, monthly rice noodles, fresh vegetables, etc. It was complicated, but it was a good job to win people's hearts, and it could be regarded as contact with the harem.
Now that she had real power, she was naturally overjoyed. She hurriedly said, "Thank you so much for your love, my dear mother and concubine. Shuying will definitely live up to your expectations."
The Guarjia family had gained power, and the prince was naturally happy, with a bit of pride on his brows.
Wen Xi continued: "There are rumors circulating in Concubine Hui's palace. It must be that the emperor is too lenient. From now on, I can just look after the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Construction Office."
Although this was not as good as before, she still retained some power. Concubine Hui gave up when she saw the favor and hurriedly thanked her. At this moment, the prince's face became ugly again. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was the prince's territory, and now he was being interfered with, so naturally he was not happy about it.
Already.
"Concubine Cheng acts with both leniency and strictness, so she is responsible for careful behavior and restraining those who do not behave properly!" In charge of criminal responsibility, this power is much higher than that of Concubine Hui.
Wen Xi gave some power to Concubine Shen and Concubine Xuan. The second round of division of power in the harem was concluded, and the second concubine Yirong was excluded. Wen Xi said solemnly: "Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, from now on I will concentrate on teaching."
Take care of your son and stay out of things you shouldn’t!"
As soon as the words were finished, there was a pop outside. Concubine Rong had already thrown herself to the ground, and the sound fell on everyone's ears. It was extremely clear. The third brother could no longer hold it in, so he quickly got up and rushed out.
"Eniang!!" The third elder brother hurriedly helped Concubine Rong, who had fainted, with two lines of tears on his face, unbearable grief, "Eniang..."
Wen Xi ordered: "Go and pull Third Brother away. He has been kneeling for more than an hour now."
"Imperial concubine, have mercy!" Yinzhi immediately begged. "For the remaining two hours, please allow Yinzhi to replace E Niang!"
Wen Xi stood up and walked slowly to the door of the main hall. She looked at the third elder brother who was crying like a child at the foot of the steps. It was really hot outside the hall. Concubine Rong has been pampered in these years. Where has she ever suffered so much? Deeply.
Taking a breath, all that entered my lungs was the burning heat, "So, do you know you are wrong?"
"I know my mistake! I really know my mistake!" The third elder brother cried with tears all over his face, and the teardrops were immediately evaporated on the hot stone floor.
Wen Xi said: "The son is the mother's heartthrob, so Concubine Rong is willing to kneel down and faint here for you!"
"I know... I am wrong!" The third elder brother lowered his head, pressed his hands on the hot stone slab, and sobbed, "I beg the imperial concubine to forgive me!"
"You keep claiming that you are aware of your mistakes, but who knows whether you are really aware of your mistakes or just pretending to be aware of your mistakes?" Wen Xi raised her eyebrows, "Why should I believe you?"
"I have something to offer, and I only ask for forgiveness from the imperial concubine!" Yinzhi touched the thing in his sleeve, which he had put on early in the morning. Now it really comes in use. As he spoke, he held out a new cowhide-colored
seal up.
Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to take it and quickly came back to present it to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi opened the new envelope with some doubts, and was immediately shocked by the content above. Her chest rose and fell violently and could not calm down for a long time.
Yinzhi hurriedly said: "What happened that day was not the fault of my son alone. I ask the imperial concubine to tell you clearly!" It is better than now to be able to share some of the fault and let others bear the wrath of the imperial concubine!
"Okay! Very good!!" Wen Xi gritted her teeth and said.
"Please forgive me, imperial concubine!" Yinzhi took the opportunity to beg again.
Wen Xi calmed down and said, "No servant passed by outside the palace today. I have saved the last bit of face for you mother and son! If you get an advantage, you must know how to behave!"
"Yes, please remember this!" Yinzhi said hurriedly. Concubine Rong was still fainting at this moment. Yinzhi was kneeling in the west, just blocking the scorching afternoon sun. Naturally, he wanted to save his mother as soon as possible.
"Mother and son are connected. If the mother suffers, the son will naturally be in pain. Similarly, if a child is hurt, a mother will not tolerate people who hurt her own children! Concubine Rong is today thanks to you as a son! I will remember this day well in the future.
, before you do anything, think carefully whether it will harm your mother!" Wen Ru's words were his last warning.
"Yes, please remember this!"
"Conspiracies and intrigues are ultimately shameful. If you want to fight, you must be open and aboveboard to get into the eyes of the emperor!" Wen Xi's words reminded him not to do those shameful things, otherwise sooner or later Kangxi would not be able to tolerate him!
Yinzhi was stunned and quickly said yes.
Under the scorching sun, Wen Xi was also feeling hot, so she softened her tone and said, "Okay, you can take Concubine Rong back to the palace."
Yinzhi was surprised by the gentle and sudden forgiveness. He hurriedly helped Concubine Rong, who had fainted, and cried with joy: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your kindness!"
Concubine Rong and the third elder brother left, so there was no need to leave the concubines here to watch the show, so they all dispersed. Liwei stood up in shock, the shock was over, and his power was stripped away. Wen
Xi is tired, and it’s time to take a nap. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
