Princess Zhao has already made her decision, so there is no room for others to comment.
Xu Yin sighed in his heart and asked: "Mother, what should I do with Miss Liu?"
Liu Xier became nervous when she heard this. She mustered up the courage to betray her aunt, wasn't she just trying to find a way out for herself?
Princess Zhao didn't care: "You promised her something, right? In that case, I'll leave it to you."
Xu Yin nodded and turned to Liu Xi'er: "Just go with me."
Liu Xier breathed a sigh of relief and said yes obediently.
The group of people left Taiyuan Palace, and not long after, the aggressive eunuch came. All the palace servants who were originally serving here were transferred. Among the newly transferred palace servants were many old ladies, some of whom came from the cold palace.
, some have been doing rough labor for many years, have harsh attitudes and cold expressions.
Concubine Liu was immediately dragged to change her clothes.
These palace servants had rough hands and feet, and did not worry about hurting her at all. They pulled and pulled her until Mrs. Liu screamed repeatedly.
"How dare you! I am the late emperor's virtuous concubine, how dare you!"
The old woman in charge was transferred from the cold palace. She had seen this matter countless times and was completely indifferent.
"Concubine Xian? Oh, your Majesty, do you still remember Concubine Shu? She has a higher status than you, and was more favored than you before. Her life in the cold palace is much worse than yours now. In other words, Princess Zhao has a good temper, and she is already a concubine of the late emperor.
I am a concubine. I did not ask you to die as the late emperor, nor did I ask you to become a monk. I still allowed you to continue to live in fine clothes and fine food."
Looking at the underwear torn off by the palace attendant, the old nun sneered: "My dear, you are a widow. The late emperor has been away for less than two years, and you have not even passed the period of filial piety! Look at what you are wearing? Ice silk tulle,
The tube top is still colorful, are you looking like a widow?"
Concubine Liu had a pure appearance and looked as if her heart was like a dead tree and she was willing to keep her integrity. Who would have thought that she was being torn apart like this today, her face was all torn off, and she couldn't help but feel hot.
As he said this, another palace servant brought out the dowry. Rouge, gouache, whatever you wanted, and a box full of hairpins, rings, pearls and jade.
The old nanny walked over one by one, snorted, and glanced towards Concubine Liu.
Obviously she didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes was so sarcastic that Concubine Liu had never experienced such humiliation in her life, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
"Princess Zhao is right to be worried! As you are, it's not like you are observing the rules. You really need people to keep a close eye on you." She ordered coldly, "Why are you still standing there? Help the concubine to put on her silk clothes and shave off her worries!"
"Yes!" The five big and three thick palace servants rushed forward again. Some held down Concubine Liu, and some helped her dress her. There were many bumps and bumps in the process, which made Concubine Liu scream from time to time.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she resisted, she could only be forced to put on the silk clothes. The rough fabric rubbed her delicate skin and tender flesh, causing tingling pain.
The palace attendant pulled her hair again and cut it off with a pair of scissors.
Seeing the black hair falling all over the floor, Mrs. Liu went crazy.
"Stop! Don't cut! Don't cut!"
The old mama's heart was as hard as iron: "Mother, you are a widow. Does it matter whether you have hair or not? Do you still have delusions in your heart? This is not right. You should recite the Buddha's name carefully in the future!"
After all, Mrs. Liu was forced to have her hair shaved off, revealing her green scalp. The hair she had worked so hard to maintain was cut into pieces, and the palace officials stepped on it at will.
She was so heartbroken that she fell down in front of the bed.
She couldn't help but think of Concubine Shu. When Concubine Shu was deposed, she went to visit her. As a result, Concubine Shu was not only ungrateful, but also cursed her. Now she finally understood how Concubine Shu felt.
I was so ashamed that I didn't want to live anymore.
But the matter was not over yet. Someone from the palace passed a message and the old woman ordered someone to lift her up.
"The Buddhist hall has been renovated. It's time for the empress to go to worship the Buddha."
So Concubine Liu was dragged to the main hall. In a short time, the emissary had already changed all the furnishings. The original chairs, soft couches, and desks were all moved out, and even the curtains were removed. A new one was placed in the middle.
There is an incense table with a Buddha statue on it and a futon lying in front of it.
Other than that, the hall was empty and there was nothing else.
The old nun asked someone to kneel down on her and give her a scripture: "Your Majesty, just read it here! I don't have time to do the morning class today, and I have to do it in the evening class. I don't know much about reading, so I don't know if you are reading it correctly.
No, I can only watch you recite it enough and try to be sincere."
Concubine Liu didn't want to read it, she pursed her lips and knelt down stiffly.
The old woman didn't force herself, she asked the literate palace attendant to read it loudly to her, then she sat on another futon, closed her eyes and meditated.
Concubine Liu soon realized that she was wrong. She felt so depressed and didn't want to live anymore. This was just the beginning.
The palace people took turns to chant sutras, and she could only be forced to listen and kneel down. When she went limp, she would be lifted up. Until dark, the palace people took turns to eat, but no one brought her food.
She glanced at the door one more time, and was seen by the old nanny, who coldly told her: "Your Majesty, you didn't do evening classes today, and you still want to have a meal? There are no such rules in the Buddhist hall."
It lasted until late at night, and the old nanny finally let her go to sleep, but she didn't even give her a sip of water.
The furnishings in the dormitory have also been changed. She now only sleeps on a bamboo bed, covered with a thin thick quilt, and there are no ice cubes that she used to manage. The weather in May is so sultry that she can't sleep tossing and turning, and her stomach is still wet.
Grumbling with hunger.
That night, Concubine Liu didn't sleep much. She only squinted for a while when she was extremely tired. Before dawn, someone from the palace came in from outside and pushed her up rudely.
"Mother, it's time for morning lessons." The old woman's gloomy voice, coupled with the sky outside and the dim candlelight, was even scarier than a ghost.
Concubine Liu was so hungry that she felt dizzy and was forced to get up to do morning exercises. Finally she couldn't bear it any longer: "How can I find the strength to chant sutras if I still have breakfast?"
The old nanny said coldly: "In the Buddhist hall, people eat after morning prayers. Please bear with me a little longer!"
This vicious old woman! Concubine Liu was filled with hatred, but she couldn't hold it any longer, so she could only give in temporarily, took the scripture, and recited it feebly.
After finally getting through this hour, the sky became brighter and the morning class was over.
Concubine Liu looked at the breakfast delivered and was in disbelief: "That's all?!"
There were only two thick steamed buns and a plate of dark pickles placed in front of her.
The old grandma didn't answer but asked: "Don't you want to eat?" She looked like she would take it away if she didn't want to eat.
Concubine Liu had no choice but to pick up the steamed bun and stuff it into her mouth. This kind of thick noodles scratched her throat. She had never eaten it even when she was fleeing, but she had to swallow it now.
After finally filling her stomach, she wanted to rest for a while, but was taken outside again by the palace attendants.
In the back garden, the place where the flowers used to grow had been shoveled away. The palace servant threw her a shovel and a bag of seeds. The old lady said quietly: "Everything in the Buddhist hall is grown by myself, my dear lady."
No exceptions can be made.”
Concubine Liu's eyes widened: "You..."
The old grandma looked tolerant: "My wife doesn't know how to do it? It doesn't matter, just do it casually for now, and wait until the master comes. You can deal with it in these two days!"
