Concubine Duan is young and charming, and she relies on pampering to make her pampered.
He actually used Emperor Jianwen's coquettish and infatuated tactics in front of Empress Yu... Haha, you are humiliating yourself!
Concubine Li's eyes showed deep ridicule, Concubine Shu and others watched the show calmly.
Xie Mingxi and others stood on both sides, each with their heads lowered, but their ears stood erect.
Empress Yu's voice was solemn, and she could not tell whether she was happy or angry: "You will stay in the palace today, and I will ask my aunt in charge, Haosheng, to teach you the rules of spring hunting. When you learn the rules, you can participate in spring hunting again."
Concubine Duan made a mistake and was very upset. She stood up and apologized, with a look of grievance in her eyes: "I was just joking casually, but in fact I have learned this rule a long time ago. Please forgive me."
If she really had to be left in the palace and "taught" by the harsh and ruthless aunts in charge of the palace, what kind of face would she have?
Furthermore, if Empress Yu deliberately made things difficult and asked her to study for five or six days or seven or eight days, the spring hunting would be over. Where would she have the opportunity to "accompany her"?
…
Empress Yu seemed to have seen through Concubine Duan's reluctance, and a sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Concubine Duan, who was favored by her young age and gave birth to the Ninth Prince, became even more arrogant. When she saw her as the empress of the palace, she showed no respect and dared to say that she did not understand the rules and wanted to be "rude and rude"...
You want to "breach" directly to the holy driver and grab the opportunity to accompany him!
Do you really think that she, a queen, is so soft-hearted and has no means?
Li Fei and others were watching the show with their eyes wide open. Today, let them simply watch the "fun"!
"Zhilan, please pass on this palace's oral instructions." Empress Yu ignored Concubine Duan who lowered her head to admit her mistake and ordered coldly: "Concubine Duan will stay in the palace today and learn the rules from the aunt in charge."
Concubine Duan: "..."
Zhilan responded and retreated.
None of the concubines opened their mouths to plead, and each of them exchanged meaningful looks.
Empress Yu showed off her power at this time, obviously with the intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys! It seems that in the next few days, they will have to be more cautious and low-key.
Concubine Duan's complexion suddenly turned red and white, extremely exciting. Her unwillingness was mixed with shame and anger, and she almost burst out.
However, the power of the middle palace is frightening. Although she has made some small moves in private, she does not dare to challenge Empress Yu head-on.
Without looking at her again, Queen Yu stood up gracefully and said to everyone: "Follow me to the stables to pick up horses."
Everyone smiled and agreed, and then stood up together.
Concubine Duan watched helplessly as everyone followed Empress Yu out, and she was left behind by everyone. The annoyance and anger in her heart reached its peak, and she couldn't help but blurted out: "The empress deliberately left my concubine in the palace, so she is not afraid that the emperor will know about it."
Don’t you feel happy in your heart?”
…
The noisy and chaotic footsteps paused.
Everyone turned around together, with shock in their eyes.
This Concubine Duan was quite favored because of her youth and beauty and gave birth to a prince. She was quite frivolous in the palace on weekdays. Today, she was so bold that she dared to provoke Empress Yu like this!
Queen Yu paused in her steps and turned around to look over.
His expression was cold and his eyes were stern.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Concubine Duan felt a little regretful.
But, I’ve said it all, and it’s impossible to take it back.
Concubine Duan simply straightened her back and continued: "I am punished so harshly by the Queen for my concubine's casual remarks. If this comes to the ears of the Emperor, the Queen will definitely have an unworthy reputation."
This Concubine Duan is so bold! She dares to say anything!
Li Fei and others quickly exchanged glances.
It was the first time for all the girls to experience such a battle, and they found it both novel and thrilling.
Xie Mingxi looked on with cold eyes, feeling calm in her heart.
It is not uncommon for the concubines in the harem to use any means to compete for favor. She has seen a lot, and she has long been tired of it. Concubine Duan is so impatient that she will suffer a big loss today!
Sure enough, Queen Yu raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a sneer: "It's not your turn to comment on whether I am a virtuous person or not. Don't you just want the Emperor to know that you have been wronged? I will help you.
"
"Yu Qiao, go and report to the emperor immediately, saying that this palace is dealing with Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan is not convinced and asks the emperor to make a decision!"
Yu Qiao quickly retreated.
Queen Yu was no longer in a hurry to go to the stables. She returned to the phoenix chair and sat down peacefully.
Everyone had different thoughts and everyone returned to their original positions to wait.
Concubine Duan's heartbeat was erratic, her breathing was rapid, and her complexion was changing. She was secretly encouraging herself.
Don’t be afraid! The Emperor will definitely support her!
The Emperor has always liked the Ninth Prince and dotes on her. Among all the concubines, she is the one who sleeps with him the most, which is proof. When the Emperor comes later, she will rush to come forward and cry.
…
After a cup of tea, Yu Qiao came back.
Also coming together was Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu turned a blind eye to Concubine Duan and bowed respectfully to Empress Yu: "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, the Emperor is talking to several princes. Hearing that Concubine Duan offended Concubine Duan, the Emperor was very displeased. He ordered his servants to come and give oral instructions, please.
The empress will send someone to take Concubine Duan back to the palace, and she will be punished after the spring hunting is over, so as not to disturb the empress's interest."
Concubine Duan: "..."
Concubine Duan looked as miserable as if she had been struck by lightning.
Concubine Li, Concubine Jing and others looked relieved, but couldn't help but secretly think about it. If they were to contradict Empress Yu today, how would Emperor Jianwen react?
Perhaps, like Concubine Duan, they were not even interested in showing up, and they were driven back to the palace with a verbal order, leaving them embarrassed and ashamed.
Thinking of this, there is something sad about things hurting their own kind.
Queen Yu showed no joy and said calmly: "I understand." Then, facing Concubine Duan who looked ashen, she said: "Are you convinced now?"
Concubine Duan's lips kept trembling. She trembled for a long time, but she didn't say a single word.
Empress Yu suddenly gave the order to go down. Soon, two aunts in charge came forward and took Concubine Duan down.
…
A farce came to an end in a hurry.
Concubine Duan was disgraced and was driven back to the palace.
Queen Yu's status is stable and her holy family is strong, and no one can shake her.
The concubines were secretly worried, and they became more cautious in their words and deeds after that.
Empress Yu, who was "completely victorious" in the eyes of everyone, was actually far less proud than the concubines imagined, and was full of self-deprecation.
In the past, if any concubine dared to collide with her like this, Emperor Jianwen would have been furious and punished him severely.
This time, Emperor Jianwen didn't even show his face, and just drove Concubine Duan back to the palace to deal with the problem. It seemed that he was protecting her as the queen of the middle palace, but wasn't he trying to protect Concubine Duan?
After Chun Lie returned to the palace, was it not just a matter of Emperor Jianwen's thoughts to be ignored or favored?
An inaudible sigh sounded in my ears.
Queen Yu turned her head and met Gu Shanchang's angry gaze, and her cold heart suddenly felt warm again.
Xianzhi, don't worry about me.
As long as I am the Queen of the Central Palace, no one will dare to insult me.
