Mei Zhi was unwilling to struggle. Wang Chengxiang bent down and said to Mei Zhi in a low voice: "Don't be ungrateful. The Emperor is showing mercy to you. You can still survive after a few slaps."
"If you anger the emperor, you will really die if you fall into the hands of the queen." Wang Chengxiang said urgently. Perhaps he had worked with Mei Zhi for many years, and he must have some kindness. After saying this to her, he hurriedly
Turn around and follow the emperor and queen to the palace.
Mei Zhi's struggle stopped, and she suddenly felt cold all over.
Zhao Zongheng was indeed tolerant of Mei Zhi. He punished Mei Zhi before taking a step forward. It was obviously to calm down the matter. He gave the queen enough face and saved Mei Zhi's face, although he would not be able to show up in Xuanming Palace in the future.
Get a foothold.
But this palace is so big, as long as she is smart, she should know that she can survive by keeping her head down.
Si Ningchi heard from Wang Chengxiang that it was her life that earned Mei Zhi the respect of the emperor. Back then, Zhao Zongheng had just ascended the throne and the government was still unstable. The Eight Kings Rebellion had not yet completely subsided, and the rebels planned to assassinate the new emperor.<
/p>
The dangers of the enthronement ceremony are bloody and bloody when I think about it now. Mei Zhi was still a low-level palace maid at that time, and I don’t know where she got the courage to rush out to protect the emperor, and she was stabbed for the emperor.
Respected for many years.
The eldest maid of Xuanming Palace, the emperor has been gentle towards her over the years, and Mei Zhi is also up to par. Zhao Zongheng has never had to worry about the food that everyone in Xuanming Palace asked her to do.
If she can always be smart, good times are yet to come.
But sometimes, people are not satisfied with what they have in front of them...
The crisp slaps outside Xuanming Hall came one after another, but Mei Zhi was very stubborn. She only screamed at first, and then she remained silent.
"In a moment, what are we going to eat?" Zhao Zongheng's expression remained calm and calm, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the sound of slaps outside the Xuanming Hall, but he calmly discussed eating with Si Ningchi.
"Your Majesty, are you free today?" Si Ningchi raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Zongheng. She tried to find some different emotions from his warm expression, but unfortunately failed.
"Yeah." Zhao Zongheng responded casually.
"Let's eat barbecue at Fengyi Palace that time." Si Ningchi said eagerly.
Zhao Zongheng curled his lips in agreement, and the slaps outside stopped. Wang Chengxiang came inside and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen, after eighty slaps, the person passed out."
Zhao Zongheng waved his hand, seemingly without any hesitation, and asked Wang Chengxiang to pull him away. The matter passed smoothly. After the emperor and the queen returned to Fengwu Palace, everyone in the Xuanming Palace slowly moved as if afraid.
Exhaled.
In this huge Xuanming Palace, only Mei Zhi can serve tea in the palace on weekdays. For so many years, no one thought that she would be punished like this by the emperor...
This palace is really scary.
There was a lot of joy in Fengwu Palace. The barbecue this time was different from the barbecue in the hunt.
Wu Sanxi set up the stove, brought the baking tray, and brought out the dishes that had been washed and cut earlier, as well as a plate of kimchi to go with it. This was specially made by her to be pickled, and it was already pickled.
I can’t wait to try it.
A bite of meat, a bite of vegetables, and some kimchi.
It tastes so good!
After eating and making a pot of tea, Zhao Zongheng and Si Ningchi neatly stretched out their hands to hold the tea and took a sip. They breathed a comfortable sigh and leaned back. Their movements and expressions were exactly the same.
Relaxed and lazy.
Wang Chengxiang has served Zhao Zongheng for many years, and has almost never seen the emperor paralyzing so relaxedly and comfortably.
Really, paralyzed...
He doesn't have the slightest image of an emperor, leaning back lazily on his chair, as if he has relaxed all his vigilance.
"Is the food in Fengwu Palace suitable for the emperor?" Si Ningchi looked at her with a smile and said.
"It's okay." Zhao Zongheng glanced at her.
"..." Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng without moving his buttocks. He twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly and said patiently: "Your Majesty, it's getting late..."
Isn’t it time for you to leave?
Zhao Zongheng finally moved. He turned his head and glanced out the window, and said seriously: "It's really late. We'll rest in Fengwu Palace today."
Si Ningchi: "..."
Rest again!!!
Zhao Zongheng seemed to feel the accusing look in Si Ningchi's eyes. He said slowly: "I just dealt with the maids of Xuanming Hall for the sake of the Queen. Now there is no capable person to serve me. Queen, don't you feel that you need to fulfill your responsibilities?" "Yes, I, my concubine, should fulfill my responsibilities." Si Ningchi opened his mouth silently, unable to say a single word of rebuttal, so he agreed honestly.
Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes, looking at Si Ningchi who had to comply under pressure, and curled his lips happily.
Zhao Zongheng got up and walked around outside the courtyard, as if watching the scenery of Fengwu Palace. Here, Si Ningchi asked Suyun to prepare the bathing soup and wait for the emperor to wash up. But who knew that the bathing soup was put out, and outside
But something happened.
"Your Majesty, Concubine De has slipped and fallen from the high platform. I'm afraid it's not good. Please come over and have a look." Wang Chengxiang looked nervous and approached Zhao Zongheng and said.
"..." Zhao Zongheng frowned immediately after hearing this.
"Let's go." He didn't say that coldly after all. He turned his head and asked Wang Chengxiang to tell the queen, then got on the dragon chariot and left.
"What kind of high platform can you climb up in the middle of the night and fall?" Su Yun tightened her sleeves angrily, looked at Si Ningchi and said with dissatisfaction: "I knew something was wrong when I saw the people in Yuning Palace, but at this juncture,
Please take the emperor away."
Si Ningchi curled his lips and said nothing. This seemed to be the first time someone asked the emperor to leave when he was in Fengwu Palace.
It seems that Concubine De cannot sit still any longer.
The lights in Yuning Palace were brightly lit, and Concubine De was lying on the bed with a pale face, and her hands were wrapped with elbow pads. She looked like she had really fallen hard.
When Zhao Zongheng stepped into the palace, he saw Concubine De lowering her head and weeping silently. When she saw the emperor, she hurriedly wiped them away and struggled to get up to greet the emperor.
"No need." Zhao Zongheng frowned, looked at Concubine De and said, "How did you fall?"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. It was all due to my carelessness..." Concubine De lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She looked at Zhao Zongheng cautiously and said, "I wanted to take down the emperor's calligraphy and copy it, but accidentally stepped on the empty chair."<
/p>
"I don't remember treating you badly. I can't find anyone in Yuning Palace who can move. Why do you want you to get the things yourself?" Zhao Zongheng's voice was flat, and he couldn't tell the joy and anger of the question, but just such a casual sentence seemed to have a meaning.
Under unwarranted pressure.
"Your Majesty, no!" Hong Tao hurriedly knelt down and said while wiping her tears: "Empress De Concubine cherishes the Emperor's calligraphy treasures very much. She has always collected them personally and does not allow others to touch them."
