Chapter Fourteen Who is the master and who is the servant?
Chapter 14 Who is the master and who is the servant?
"Yan Yu, can't you hear my question?" Seeing that Yan Yu did not answer, the emperor felt upset.
Yan Yu looked at Bao'er beside him with a complicated expression, then looked at the emperor and sighed: "Yes."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was my slave who seduced the Marquis. It has nothing to do with the Marquis. If you want to punish me, let me punish you alone." Bao'er is stupid by nature. He said these words because he was taught by Qing'er before.
"Nuansi, what do you think is best?" The emperor looked at Nuansi gently and asked.
"Haha, I don't seem to be able to react in time to this matter. Your Majesty, please ask your questions first. I need to take my time." Nuan Si's mind was filled with confusion. The thing happened so suddenly, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
"Yan Yu, since you have touched someone else's family, you have to bear the responsibility. Bei'er has already rejected the Queen's marriage proposal. You are not young anymore. You don't have a concubine in the house yet. You might as well take Bao'er into your room." The Emperor is now
I completely believed Xue Bin's words and felt that if she wanted to do the best for Nuan, she should give the treasure to Yan Yu.
"I can't agree. I only have Bei'er in my heart, and I won't marry anyone else." Yan Yu refused very simply.
Before the emperor could speak, Nuan Si sneered and said: "Master Hou keeps saying that he only has Bei'er in his heart, so why do he have skin-to-skin contact with Bao'er?"
"This... this is a misunderstanding." Yan Yu said helplessly.
"Misunderstanding, such a misunderstanding, can it be explained by just one misunderstanding? Yan Yu, you have disappointed me so much." Nuan Si cleared his thoughts and found that he felt particularly heavy. This news should be a fatal blow to Belle.
Bar.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't dare to hope for anything. I beg Your Majesty to punish this slave." Bao'er cried and said.
At this time, the concubine Xue beside me couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Miss Bao'er is really deeply in love with the Marquis. If the Marquis does not agree to this request, I am afraid that Miss Bao'er will not be able to be a human being in the future.
"
At this time, Xue Bin gave Bao'er a look at the right time. Bao'er understood and immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to die to apologize."
After saying that, he turned around and bumped into the jade pillar beside him. Fortunately, Yan Yu quickly caught Bao'er with quick eyes and hands: "What are you doing?"
Nuan Si watched everything with cold eyes, the temperature in her heart getting lower and lower. After so much, she was no longer the innocent and cute girl. She could see through this little trick. She didn't know the reason why Bao'er and Xue Bin left.
On the same road, but she really felt the feeling of being fooled by the people around her...
"Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide this matter. I have no more concubines, so I'll retire first." Faced with this farce, Nuan Si didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to escape as soon as possible to avoid seeing or hearing something more painful.
The emperor thought that Nuan Si was in a bad mood because Yan Yu refused to marry Bao'er, so he shouted angrily: "Yan Yu, you guy, you dare not do it, let me tell you, Bao'er becomes a concubine, this matter has become a
It’s a foregone conclusion, if you don’t obey, both of you will be punished by death.”
After that, the emperor waved his hands and left...
Bao'er was indescribably excited, while Yan Yu's eyes were dull and unable to say a word.
A few days later, everyone in the palace knew that the maid next to the queen was going to be married to the Marquis's house as a concubine, and there was a lot of discussion.
But no matter what others say, Bao'er is always the winner. She no longer has to serve the queen, she stays in the concubine Xue's wing, waiting to marry into Yan's house tomorrow.
"The Snow Concubine has arrived."
"My slave, please pay your respects to Empress Xue Concubine." Bao'er knelt on the ground respectfully. Now it seemed that Concubine Xue was her great benefactor. The Empress did not help her in the slightest. On the contrary, it was Concubine Xue who spoke kind words in front of the emperor.
, so it directly led to her happiness.
"Get up, Bao'er, you don't have to be polite, you will be a newlywed tomorrow, so you have to take good care of yourself." Xue Bin said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am." Bao'er said with a blushing face.
"I have nothing to give you, so I have prepared some dowry for you, which should be enough to support your occasion." Snow Concubine turned back and motioned to Gong E to bring up the jewelry.
After two boxes of seeds were planted, Bao'er knelt down in panic and said, "Your Majesty, you have already helped me so much. I dare not accept your favor anymore."
Snow Concubine chuckled: "When you get married, you can't be empty-handed. A newlywed will be ridiculed if she doesn't have a dowry, so I have prepared these. Although they are not much, they are from my heart, so just accept them."
At this time, Qing'er also echoed and said: "Yes, Aunt Bao, you can do whatever your Majesty wishes."
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders. Your Majesty's great kindness will never be forgotten by me," Bao'er said excitedly.
"Haha, I know that Miss Bao'er is a person who values affection and righteousness, so in the future, when I ask for a girl, please don't just sit back and watch." Xue Bin said with deep meaning.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this slave is willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty no matter what." Bao'er said righteously.
She seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of her was someone she was not familiar with, and she had never said these words to her master.
At this time, Bao'er no longer remembers that she almost died under an assassin's sword, but her master sacrificed his life to save him...
There are always many people in this world who repay kindness, and there are always many people who are ungrateful, but whose kindness is repaid? Whose righteousness is betrayed?
Throughout the night, Bao'er couldn't sleep well because the Queen didn't show up. She knew in her heart that the Queen was angry with her, right? But why did the Queen want Bei'er and Yan Yu to be together, but not herself?
The next morning, according to the rules, Bao'er had to see the Queen for the last time before leaving...
"My slave, please pay your respects to the Queen." Bao'er was dressed in red and looked a bit red at first glance...
"Ping Shen." Nuan Si's tone was cold and devoid of any warmth...
What followed was endless silence. Bao'er didn't dare to speak or raise her head. Although she told herself that she deserved this, she still felt guilty when facing Ling Nuansi, whom she had served for many years.
"Bao'er, raise your head." Nuan Si said calmly.
Bao'er raised her head in panic. The wedding dress reflected her delicate face, lifelike, but her face was slightly pale...
"Bao'er, you are beautiful today." Nuan Si said lightly.
"Thank you for your compliment," Bao'er said tremblingly.
"Bao'er, I have always wanted to see you in your wedding dress one day, because your happiness is also my long-cherished wish, but you have exceeded my expectations and married someone you shouldn't have married.
" Nuan Si said slowly.
"Your Majesty, I am sincere to Yan Zhonghou. I hope your Majesty will learn from this." Baoer said, biting his lip.
Nuan Si looked at her deeply and then said: "But the happiness in my eyes is the happiness between two people. If you do this, you will ruin the happiness of three people, yours, Yan Yu's, and Bei'er's."
Hearing Belle's name, Bao'er's face became angry: "Belle, Belle, it's Belle again. I know that the queen only has Belle in her eyes. She has already forgotten all about the slave. Has the queen ever thought about it?"
, the slave girl fell in love with the Marquis before Belle, but she still endured it. As for Belle, she is smarter and more resourceful than the slave girl, so she won the heart of the Marquis. Now, in turn, the slave girl also plays some tricks.
Why is the queen unwilling to get the Marquis? I have been with the queen for many years. I have been serving the queen since she was in Xiliang. I am worthy of the queen. I also ask the queen to remember that in the past, the two of us were masters and servants.
For your sake, don’t embarrass me.”
Bao'er said all the words in his heart in one breath. Nuan Si was stunned for a moment and sighed: "That's it, that's all. Your thoughts are different from mine. It's useless for me to talk more."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and Gong'e beside her brought over a box full of jewelry and placed it in front of Bao'er...
"Mother, this..." Bao'er said in surprise.
"This is the dowry of the Imperial Palace in the past. Now I give her to you. You are right. We are still masters and servants no matter how you say it. This is also a bit of my heart. Over the years, you have been by my side and devoted your whole life.
Try your best to take care of me, I know that you deserve this too, take it." Nuan Si said tiredly.
"Your Majesty, I cannot accept slaves. These are the dowry gifts left to you by your mother-in-law, Concubine Zhang." Bao'er was filled with tears.
"It doesn't matter. I'm willing to give it up. Just accept it. It's just that I'm not feeling well and can't attend your wedding banquet tomorrow. I hope you can understand me."
Having said that, before Baoer could say anything, Nuansi had already issued an eviction order...
Holding this box of jewelry in his hands, Bao'er's heart was heavy. He had been by the Queen's side for so many years and was about to leave tomorrow. He was filled with emotion.
"Qing'er, after I leave, you have to take good care of my empress for me." Bao'er explained.
"Don't worry, Aunt Bao, I will take good care of my empress, just like you." Qing'er responded.
The second day
Everyone in Nanyu knew that Yan Zhonghou was going to take a concubine today, so there were an overwhelming number of people who came to watch. In fact, taking a concubine was not something worth paying attention to. The key point of this matter was that Yan Yu was already over twenty-three years old, but he had been
He didn’t have a wife, and he didn’t have any concubines. Everyone knew that Yan Zhonghou was a popular figure around the emperor, and he was also a marquis, so this time when he took in concubines, everyone wanted to see what kind of beautiful woman it was that made the marquis fall in love. Outsiders
Which of the ins and outs...
Yan Yu kept a straight face all day, as if his parents were dead...
The day passed in such a numb way. The wedding night was originally a romantic day, but for Yan Yu, it was a shame. It was a sign that he was not sincere to Belle, even though he was in love with Belle without knowing it.
Everything happened to Belle, but the result was the same. He betrayed Belle, so why would he say he loves Belle now?
"The groom has arrived." Xiniang shouted loudly.
Baoer wore a red hijab and clenched her pink fists, feeling very nervous. Tonight was her and his bridal night...
"I still have something to do. I have to go to the study to read. You should have a rest early." Yan Yu dropped these words and turned to leave without even lifting the red hijab...
"Master Hou, you don't have the bride's red hijab yet...?" Xiniang reminded her kindly.
Yan Yu said tiredly: "Open it for me." Then he turned around and went out.
There was a slamming of the door, and Bao'er felt very uncomfortable. Did he win? Why was he more painful than before? He hated himself, and he didn't even lift the red hijab. If Guo was Bei'er, I'm afraid he couldn't wait any longer...
Why? How is he worse than Belle? Why does he treat himself like this even though he does better?
"Little madam, what do you think?" Xi Niang asked cautiously.
In Nanyu, concubines are called "Little Madam". In fact, concubines have no status, they are just higher than the servants...
"Please step back." Bao'er said numbly.
"What about your red hijab...?" Xi Niang said in embarrassment. She had been a Xi Niang for many years, but she had never heard of a bride who helped Xi Niang wear a red hijab, so she had been hesitating about what to do.
"I will come by myself." After saying that, Bao'er pulled off his red hijab.
Xiniang was shocked...
"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?" Baoer suddenly yelled.
Xi Niang left quickly, leaving her lying on the red quilt crying alone...
In the same late night, in Xiluan Palace, a piece of news made Nuansi almost collapse on the spot, and Beier committed suicide by hanging from the beam...
