Maidong withdrew his hand, knelt down in front of Yin, and cried: "Your Majesty, Maidong is a slave with a low status. If Concubine Ning is angry, she will admit it no matter how hard she beats or scolds her! She dare not complain.
But Concubine Ning couldn’t help but say something, and she didn’t let the nobleman explain clearly, so she slapped the nobleman’s mouth like this in public! There are so many people here, all the slaves are here, Concubine Ning did this, she just wanted to touch the nobleman’s mouth, it was clearly to humiliate her
, it will kill her!
I can't protect you even if I fight to my death. If Li Cheng hadn't just thought of a way to go out and find a lucky noble, I don't know how the noble would have been beaten by the empress today!" As she spoke, she kowtowed to the green brick floor.
He shook his head and wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something: Ever since Zhang Guiren entered the Yonghe Palace, Concubine Ning has been very harsh on her. She will scold her at the slightest dissatisfaction. Even if she is banned this time, Concubine Ning will not allow her to stay.
The dining room of Yonghe Palace sent meals to Zhang Guiren!
The slave begged for the dining room, even if he put all the body and money of the noble into it, the dining room only had that appearance. At most, he could barely provide some rotten food, and it was full of dirty things. Where was the food?
Can be imported!
In the past month, the nobleman has been hungry and full. If nobleman Ji had not taken care of him and often sent people to secretly deliver hot meals and dishes, the nobleman would have collapsed long ago! I beg the emperor to make the decision for the nobleman!"
Yin listened silently.
The young eunuch who was accompanying him was brave enough to secretly look up at him and saw that the emperor's eyes were getting colder.
The servants in Zhang Guiren's courtyard all knelt down one by one along with Maidong, and they all cried out: "I beg the emperor to make the decision for you!"
Seeing this, Concubine Ning opened her lips, stepped forward quickly, swayed, and knelt down in front of Yin.
Before she could speak, she covered her chest and coughed a few times with a painful look on her face. Then she said softly: "Your Majesty's warning! Although I was short of breath just now, it was for a reason after all: I always coughed and wheezed after seeing flowers.
There was a problem, so a ban was issued on not allowing flowers to be seen in the Yonghe Palace.
But Zhang Guiren wanted to go against his concubine! He planted many hibiscus flowers in the courtyard.
Although her side hall is slightly away from the main hall of the palace, when the wind blows, the fragrance of flowers overflows. Even if I am in the main hall, I must smell the fragrance of flowers. Your Majesty, you don’t know, but just now,
At the entrance of the hall on Guiren Zhang's side, I only argued with her for a few words, and then I choked and couldn't breathe due to the fragrance of the flowers. Many people here were watching, and the emperor will know if I am lying or not!"
Before Concubine Ning finished speaking, Mei Nian came forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Ning said is true! This servant has always served Concubine Ning. When we were in the dormitory earlier, Concubine Ning had this old man.
What’s wrong, I just approached Guiren Zhang’s side of the hall, and my empress coughed especially badly!”
When she said this, she turned to Concubine Ning, suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself, and said with tears: "Master, we are all slaves! You have already said that you and Zhang Guiren are sisters living in the same palace.
, Just be patient with everything, but I feel sorry for you! I am angry that Zhang Guiren bullies you like this, so I persuade the master to argue with Zhang Guiren."
Zhang Guiren had laid his head on Qixi's shoulder and listened silently. When he heard this, he raised the back of his hand, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed.
She raised her head, and under the light, Concubine Ning saw that her lips were stained with blood, and there was a thrilling glow.
Zhang Guiren said slowly: "Concubine Ning is 'growing flowers' one by one. Has anyone here smelled the fragrance of the flowers?"
Concubine Ning didn't know what she meant, she raised her eyebrows and just stared at her.
Zhang Guiren whispered to Qixi: "Help me up.".
Qixi supported her elbows to help her up. Zhang Guiren moved a few steps and walked to the door of the courtyard of his side hall. Suddenly he stretched out his hand, and with a "crash", he pushed the courtyard door open, and then turned around and said: "
Please also invite Your Majesty and Concubine Ning to come and take a look, where are the flowers in this courtyard?"
Everyone walked into the courtyard, and saw the shadows of the trees in the courtyard shimmering under the cover of night. The palace lanterns hanging under the eaves were swaying, and indeed they reflected the beauty of the seven or eight hibiscus flowers in the courtyard.
Before Mei Nian noticed the strangeness, Concubine Ning was already frowning.
Yin raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Guiren, only to see Zhang Guiren staggering forward, rolling up his sleeves, reaching out and "picking" a "flower" lightly.
She turned back to Yin, knelt down and presented the flower with both hands, and just said: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
When she spoke, her cheeks were swollen and she was slurred, and because her tongue touched the wound inside, she couldn't help but gasp in pain.
Yin glanced at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng had already stepped forward to take the flower. He held it in both hands and brought it to Yin. He glanced at it and whispered: "Your Majesty."
Concubine Ning suddenly stopped her and said, "Your Majesty!" Ji Ling turned to look at her and saw that Concubine Ning's face was pale.
Yin frowned, glanced at Concubine Ning, and reached out to take the flower.
He aimed at the light and took a closer look. Everyone was staring at his hand, and then saw Yin suddenly frowning and throwing the flower on the ground.
Concubine Ning swayed and felt that she could hardly stand.
Ji Ling stepped forward, bent down and picked up the flower, looked at the light carefully, handed it to Concubine Ning, and said calmly: "Concubine Ning, you are coughing and wheezing just because of the fragrance of this flower."
What?"
Concubine Ning bit her lip and looked at what kind of hibiscus the "flower" was. It was just a velvet flower made into the shape of a hibiscus flower!
The velvet flower is exquisitely crafted, the color is elegant, the petals are as thin as cicada wings, and the stamens are lifelike. If it were only three or five steps away, no one would believe it if it were a real flower.
Zhang Guiren endured the severe pain in his lips and whispered: "This is the velvet flower that the emperor gave to Ji Guiren a while ago. It is exquisitely crafted and is rare even in the palace. Ji Guiren has always treated his maids and concubines like sisters, although there are only two of them.
There were boxes of velvet flowers, but when she saw that her concubine liked them, she gave a box to her.
I have always liked flowers, and Concubine Ning ordered me not to plant flowers. I also obeyed. I just thought that the velvet flowers were beautiful, so it would be good to use these fake flowers to decorate the courtyard and add some fun to the conversation. I don’t know when the empress saw her.
, this disciple caused such an unreasonable disaster!"
A cold sweat broke out on Concubine Ning's palms. She raised her head little by little and saw that the emperor didn't say anything, and his eyes were just dull and indifferent. She swallowed a gulp of saliva, and her heart dropped heavily.
I heard a voice echoing repeatedly in my mind: Oh no! Oh no!
Yin took a long time to sigh deeply. He was slightly disappointed in his heart, so he only said slowly: "Concubine Ning, you are an old man who has followed me. I miss you for following me in Qiandi for many years, and I also think about you getting older."
, it was pitiful that you had no children to rely on, so I gave you the title of concubine.
You also know that there are not many concubines in the palace. If your mother's family is not noble, or you have raised children, you can have this reward and title. I am not treating you poorly."
