"That's enough!" the imperial concubine frowned and shouted.
She was born with majesty, and in the past few years she had taken over the power of the harem, and she was even more impressive. As soon as she made a statement, Mrs. Chengenhou and Mrs. Lu immediately stopped.
It was just that Mrs. Chengenhou thought of Wen Ying and hated them both. She couldn't help but said: "My queen, do you think this is too rude? Not to mention that we should not meet more if we are not married. It is still during the religious ceremony. We are all
How can you be so careless in praying for the late emperor? If you don't punish me, how will you convince the public in the future?"
Concubine Pei sneered: "Is Madam Chengenhou trying to force me to do this?"
Mrs. Chengenhou straightened her back and spoke sternly: "It would be unfair for your Majesty to say this. If my wife says anything wrong, I may rebuke you, but how can I talk about forcing you? I don't dare to force you."
Concubine Pei asked quietly: "What do you think this palace should do?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense." Mrs. Chengenhou raised her head even more, "How can I dare to overstep my authority in front of the empress? It's just that rewards and punishments are proportional, and this rule cannot be shaken even if you think about it."
Concubine Pei nodded, glanced at Mrs. Chengenhou, who had an upright face, and then looked at Mrs. Lu, who was secretly proud and pretending to defend herself, and said coldly: "You have said so much, but you haven't found anything wrong?"
Mrs. Chengenhou was stunned for a moment: "My queen, you are talking about..."
Concubine Pei raised her eyes and looked at the two "people" on the branches. Then they heard someone shouting: "What is that?"
Mrs. Chengenhou and Mrs. Lu turned around to look, only to see two pieces of paper slowly floating down from the tree branches. It was so empty that there was no one there.
They were stunned.
After a while, Mrs. Lu shouted: "Where are the people? Where have they gone? I saw them just now!"
Concubine Pei lowered her face and said, "Here comes someone!"
Immediately a waiter responded: "My servant is here."
"Right now, we are working as magicians for the late emperor. They don't want to pray for blessings, so they are causing trouble here. Don't bother them for the remaining two days, and send them out of the palace!"
The waiters all said in unison: "Yes."
Then he came up to pull people away.
Mrs. Chengenhou and Mrs. Lu were both shocked.
Mrs. Lu replied that she, the Crown Prince's wife, was not that famous, and she was a junior. However, Mrs. Chengenhou's face turned red, and a surge of anger rushed into her chest.
She is the prince's aunt. In recent years, the Cheng'enhou Mansion has been relatively powerful. Wherever she goes, others are polite to her.
Concubine Pei never shows off how favored she is, let alone embarrass the Wen family.
And the Wen family always had a subtle hostility and sense of superiority towards her because they were the queen's mother-in-law.
It can be said that the two parties have been living in peace for so many years, which gave Mrs. Chengenhou the illusion that Concubine Pei's courtesy was out of a guilty conscience. She was a beloved concubine with a disgraceful background, and she had a guilty conscience towards the Queen's natal family.
At this moment, she was slapped unceremoniously in the face by Concubine Pei. The difference made her angry and ashamed. If she was expelled from the palace today, would she still have the face to be seen in the circle of concubines in the capital in the future?
"Your Majesty!" Madam Cheng'enhou said angrily, "My wife is the prince's aunt, are you trying to slap the prince in the face?"
Concubine Pei sneered: "You still know that you are the prince's aunt and it is not easy to pray for the late emperor. If you are here doing nothing, the prince's face has been completely humiliated by you! What are you waiting for? Send him out of the palace!"
She waved her sleeves, leaving no dignity for Mrs. Chengenhou.
Madam Lu was alert and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I made a mistake. I just misjudged the situation, and I was so impatient... I have mercy on you, I don't dare to do it anymore! I will make sure to speak correctly in the future."
It's a pity that Concubine Pei is too lazy to pay attention to her.
Although Yang Shu never said what kind of person she was, it didn't mean that he didn't know it.
I didn't care about it before, because I didn't want to make a fuss about it, and I didn't bother to trouble her for such a trivial matter. Now that it's coming to her door, how can I let it go? It's a small punishment but a big warning to tell her to restrain herself.
The chamberlain dragged the two of them out of the palace gate.
The scene was completely silent.
The ladies were all stunned by Concubine Pei's strength.
In the past few years, I heard that the imperial concubine no longer shied away from palace affairs and gradually took control of the Sixth Palace. Concubine Hui now has no voice at all. Even the emperor approves memorials on her behalf. They all thought it was an exaggeration. Only today did they discover that it is most likely true.
of!
Does this mean that Concubine Pei, who used to be independent of the world, has begun to fight for power? With the emperor's favor and trust in her, will she soon become a queen?
It's not impossible! Concubine Pei has no children. If the prince succeeds to the throne, her end will definitely not be good.
Now that the emperor's health is getting worse, she is probably thinking about the future, so she wants to win the title of queen.
In this way, when she waits for the crown prince to succeed to the throne and takes up the title of queen mother, she will not be unable to resist...
The lady present was full of thoughts and had already thought very far.
Concubine Pei said calmly: "Okay, go back if you have nothing to do! You have worked hard to pray for the late emperor. If you persist for two more days, you can leave the palace."
How dare your lady say anything nonsense? They didn't want to be expelled from the palace and embarrassed in public, so they all left peacefully.
The imperial concubine also returned to the apse.
After the show ended, the two people who were hiding in the dark and quietly looking here finally emerged from behind the leaves.
"Hahahaha!" Yang Shu laughed loudly, "Have you seen their faces? They actually forced their aunt with words, what do they think they are?"
Mingwei teased: "You are happier than me. You have long wanted to deal with your cheap sister-in-law, right?"
Yang Shu did not deny it: "This woman is very annoying. But she doesn't do too much. I can't argue with a woman."
"It's really annoying if you don't do big evils but keep doing small evils." Mingwei agreed.
After finishing laughing, Yang Shu looked at her again and again.
"What are you looking at?"
He said: "We're all out anyway, why don't we go back for now?"
Mingwei looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. Why don't we go back and feed the mosquitoes here?"
Yang Shu remembered the tree hole that King An mentioned and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
...
The prince was stunned for a moment and asked the chamberlain who came to report in disbelief: "You said that the imperial concubine expelled Mrs. Chengenhou from the palace?"
"Yes." This chamberlain belonged to him. He described the situation just now and finally said, "Your Highness, this is strange. There are so many people present, but they didn't pay attention."
The prince said coldly: "This is deliberately digging a hole for Mrs. Chengenhou to jump into! Damn it! Before I did anything, they took action."
Yang Shu and Concubine Pei are in the same group, so there is no need to ask.
The Lu family was from the Bolinghou Mansion, so she might have deliberately led them there, so that Mrs. Chengenhou could use the topic as an excuse.
What do they want to do? Is this a slap in the face? They know that she is his aunt, but they don't show any mercy and just drive her out of the palace. What's the difference between the shame of my grandfather's family and the shame of him?
The prince took a deep breath and became more determined to deal with Concubine Pei.
Just how to do this?
While he was still thinking, the personal guard over there hurried over and whispered into his ear: "Your Highness, that old woman is missing!" (To be continued)
