"Sixth brother, did you hear clearly what was said today?"
On the path beside the imperial garden, Xiao Yan glanced at the sixth prince who was following him, and asked with concern, as he was an older brother, he should care about his younger brother.
"Everything I said back to my brother is clear!"
The sixth prince is still younger and looks cute and cute. He could have gone back directly after class today, but he thought of what his mother and concubine had told him to do, saying that he would take his brother to the imperial garden for a walk, especially We need to go to the lotus pond.
The palace attendants who were following the Sixth Prince were in a state of confusion. Concubine Li had given instructions to ensure His Highness's safety no matter what, and they were afraid of what might happen later.
"Why does my brother suddenly want to see the lotus? I seem to be defeated a lot when I look at the lotus."
Xiao Yan felt a little strange. He cared about everything for his younger brothers and sisters. His sixth brother was not so close to him usually. Why did he have to drag him to the Imperial Garden to see the lotus flowers today?
"I just thought that I rarely talk to my brother Huang on weekdays. As brothers, we should talk more!"
The sixth prince lowered his head and thought about what his mother said, and then said it quietly. He didn't understand these things, he only knew what his mother told him, so he would naturally do it.
"It doesn't matter, we are all brothers, we don't care about this." Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. Although he knew that Concubine Li and the Queen Mother seemed to be at odds, matters between adults would not involve the children.
He has always treated his younger brothers and sisters equally.
"The lotuses seem to have been defeated. If you want to see the lotuses in full bloom, I'm afraid you have to wait until next summer."
When he arrived at the lotus pond, Xiao Yan took the initiative to take a few steps forward and take a look. Sure enough, all the new year's flowers were gone, and it was not the season for the new year's flowers to bloom.
I finally managed to have a good conversation with my sixth brother, but I didn’t expect that the flowers were gone.
"Yeah?"
The sixth prince was already young, and he couldn't wait to step forward to see what the lotus had become. How could he remember his mother's instructions? The palace attendants behind him had no time to stop him, so he watched the sixth prince step forward step by step. .
"ah!"
I don't know what he stepped on, but the sixth prince's small body slipped straight down. Fortunately, Xiao Yan was quick to catch the sixth prince's hand.
"Brother, please save me!"
The sixth prince was so frightened that he suddenly fell down and stepped on something slippery. It was scary! It's really scary!
"Don't be afraid, I will pull you up!"
Xiao Yan held the sixth prince's hand with great strength and would not let him fall anymore. The palace attendants behind him quickly stepped forward and pulled the sixth prince up together.
I was really frightened. Why did the sixth prince slip down without any problems?
After returning home, Xiao Yan also felt that this matter was very strange, and told him exactly what happened just now.
"You're awesome. You know how to protect your brother at such a young age. You did the right thing. It's really great!"
Tao Yao smiled and touched Xiao Yan's head, praising without hesitation that the two children born to the original owner were better than the other.
"Okay, okay, I will find out about this. Go down and do your homework!"
"yes!"
Xiao Yan was also very happy after receiving his mother's approval, and he couldn't stop the smile on his face.
There must be something fishy about today's events. The position I was standing on just now was fine, but why did my sixth brother slide down as soon as I left? Someone must be plotting this!
"Why do you think this is happening?"
Yun Xi poured a cup of tea, her face was a little cold, and it was obvious that she already had an object of suspicion in her heart.
"Looking at your appearance, it seems that there is already someone in your heart that you can doubt. Tell me, who is it?"
Tao Yao held the teacup calmly, not wanting to involve her child in today's affairs.
The Sixth Prince was still so young, and he always obeyed his mother no matter what he said or did, so he would not attack an ignorant child.
Otherwise, he could be more cruel and let people fall down and drown. How would there be a chance for Xiao Yan to save people?
"It must be Mrs. Qionghua!" Yun Xi bit her lip with a look of disgust, "The bracelet thing last time actually made her unhappy. I heard that Mrs. Qionghua walked around a lot in the Imperial Garden, so she must have It was at this time that they took action!”
If there is anyone in the harem who he hates the most, then Yun Xi must hate Mrs. Qionghua the most. No matter what happens, he will only think about her.
"According to what you said, how did Qionghua know that the two children would go to the lotus pond today, and they happened to fall in there?"
Tao Yao asked funnyly, it seems that Yun Xi hates Qiong Hua even more than the original owner, and thinks about her no matter what bad things happen.
In fact, Qionghua really doesn't have this ability. At most, he just plays off his temper over trivial matters, and his nature is so childish.
"I can't say for sure. Maybe it's been manipulated elsewhere, or maybe His Highness just happened to happen upon it!"
Yun Xi still said harshly, she just hated Qiong Hua and felt that everything was caused by her!
The harem before Qiong Hua appeared was obviously so peaceful, but as soon as she appeared, there would always be so many troubles!
"What you said makes sense," Tao Yao smiled and nodded, "In that case, I will send you over to punish him properly. I'll slap you twenty times!"
Taoyao Xiaoxiao just gave the order. As long as Yun Xi couldn't wait and took people to Qionghua's palace, he would have wanted to punish her. He had dared to be so arrogant in front of the queen!
"What did you say?"
Qionghua was still mourning the Spring and Autumn Period. Seeing the menacing appearance of Yun Xi and his men, she was a little frightened and didn't know what was going on.
"Mrs. Qionghua, please stop pretending in front of your servants. Many people saw you walking around in the imperial garden that day, especially Mr. Wan Gui, who also talked to you. These are all witnesses. Do you dare to say that you didn’t do anything?”
Yun Xi raised her head high. In fact, if you really want to think about this matter carefully, there will indeed be many loopholes.
But it doesn't matter, I don't care about this, I just want to have a reason to punish Qiong Hua severely.
"What the hell are you talking about? What does this matter have to do with me? Your two highnesses almost fell into the lotus pond. If you hadn't said that I didn't know these things, wouldn't everything in the harem be left to the Queen? Did you find out clearly? Why do you have to blame it on me? "
Qionghua was extremely wronged. She was still grieving in her palace, but now she was suddenly barged in by Yunxi and others. She felt really disgusted.
"You have been with Cherry these days by my side. Please tell her clearly whether I have never been out of the palace these days!"
Qionghua looked at Cherry standing behind him and felt that there was nothing he could do.
"Yes, I can testify for Madam. It is true that Madam has not gone out in the past few days, and I don't know what happened. Could the Queen be the unjust Madam?"
Seeing how fiercely Yun Xi and his men were approaching, Cherry was also a little scared.
Yun Xi is the person close to the Queen, and what she means is probably the Queen's. If we must fight, I'm afraid the lady won't be able to escape.
"Yingtao is the person serving Madam, so she must be talking to Madam. Anyway, someone did see Madam wandering around in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. Why did the two Highnesses suddenly fall into the lotus pond two days later? Woolen cloth?
Or is it that Madam really wants to harm His Highness, because she has a grudge against the Queen because of the bracelet? "
Yun Xi deliberately made the matter more and more serious. After all, it was the Queen who ordered it today, so what else is there to be afraid of?
Maybe today's events were indeed a little hasty, but at least there was a legitimate reason. More importantly, Qionghua really needed to tidy up her energy.
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I have these thoughts? Or is the Queen just deliberately trying to make things difficult for me because of this matter?"
Qiong Hua also understood something. It seemed that this was indeed the case. She must have wanted to use this incident to punish herself. She was indeed a vicious woman!
"Madam, there is no need to quibble. Since the empress has already given the order, it means that she knows what she is doing," Yun Xi glanced at the person following her, "Why don't you take action?"
"You are so presumptuous!"
Qionghua was pushed to the ground and looked at the person who pushed her in disbelief. How dare they?
"Hurry up and do it!"
Yun Xi ordered coldly, now that it has reached this point, it is better to give it a quick beating first. The Queen has endured too much in the past half a year, so it is not impossible to vent her anger now!
The palace man raised his hand high and dropped it hard on Qiong Hua's face.
"ah!"
After receiving a slap, Qiong Hua was so painful that he burst into tears. It hurt, it really hurt so much. How could he really dare to slap her in the face?
"If Your Majesty finds out, he will definitely not spare you! I am His Majesty's favorite woman, and you actually dare to attack me!"
Qionghua was kneeling on the ground, his hands were grabbed and he couldn't move. He felt the place where he was hit was burning and hurting. People say that hitting someone is not a slap in the face, but he didn't expect to receive such a hard slap today!
"The Queen said, it's twenty palms, this is just a spanking, keep on beating!"
Yun Xi smiled and felt relieved when she saw Qiong Hua's red eyes. This look was really not similar to the Queen's at all. I really didn't know what His Majesty's eyes were like.
The slaps came one after another. Qionghua couldn't even cry anymore. He felt that his face was numb from the slaps and he couldn't feel the pain anymore.
After twenty slaps, both sides of his face were swollen, and it was hard to see what they looked like before. Qionghua collapsed to the ground, not even daring to touch his own face.
"What happened today is a lesson given to you by the Queen. I hope that Madam will be honest in the future and not cause any more troubles, otherwise you will end up today!"
Yun Xi left with a smile. She really felt relieved today. She finally got rid of the anger she had suffered for more than half a year!
Qionghua is still a lady no matter what. The queen is in charge of the harem. Do you really think she can act unscrupulously and arrogantly? After being beaten, she should learn to restrain herself!
"lady!"
Fang Caiying was pushed to the back and didn't dare to move forward. He looked at the slaps coming one after another. It was so scary that he just closed his eyes and didn't dare to look anymore.
Looking at Qiong Hua's face now, it's really swollen. It's really scary!
"Why do they dare to hit me? Am I not His Majesty's favorite woman? Why can they hit me?"
Qionghua cried aggrievedly and couldn't even speak clearly. She was really wronged. She was beaten for no reason, and it was hit in the face. Now her face hurts so much.
It's been almost half a year since I entered the palace, and nothing like this has ever happened to me. No matter what, I just received a few verbal reprimands. How could I really receive so many slaps like this?
Isn’t it said that the queen is the most gentle and tolerant towards the concubines? Why did people come over and slap her so many times today?
