After Ningxi dealt with the three of them, how could there be another culprit left unpunished. However, when it was his turn, he ducked away early.
——Qingxin Palace——
"The Emperor is out on business?"
Ningxi obviously felt that there was something going on, and that the Dog Emperor was doing it on purpose. There were no secrets in the palace, so he hid far away because he knew that Forsythia was now being punished for washing clothes in the clothes bureau.
Okay, if you have the ability, don't come back for the rest of your life, let's see who can outlast the other. Ningxi glared hard at the sign hanging on the "Qingxin Hall".
Xiao Chengyan didn't really want to go out and hide, but in Ningxi's eyes, it seemed that he had purposefully left the palace to hide, and the hiding time was not short.
Wan Dequan secretly bears the pain that the emperor should bear every day, and the pain in his heart accumulates more and more. But what can he do as an old slave? He can only pray to the emperor every night to finish his errands and return to the palace as soon as possible.
After that, Ningxi would go to Qingxin Hall every two days and didn't stay too long. He even didn't even go in at the end and only stayed outside the hall for a while.
"Your Majesty, we go to the Qingxin Palace every day. Today, my servants have heard those women talking about you."
"Discussion?" Ningxi would be afraid of discussion, "Fu Ling, when we greet each other every day, you can see which concubine's maid is gossiping and write it down. Your master, I will deal with it myself."
The palace rules stipulate that servants are not allowed to talk about the master's rights and wrongs. She can't avoid being the master. If she can't control her own mouth, then let others control it for her.
Xiao Chengyan unexpectedly took a trip and when he came back, the imperial concubine's reputation in the palace turned out to be a domineering person.
"Qiaoyun next to Zhang Meiren, Zixin and Zitong, Han Guibi's girls, they often gather around and gossip behind each other's back because of their good relationship with their masters."
Ningxi looked at the masters whose names were mentioned, and then looked at Wan Dequan who was standing aside, "It just so happens that Eunuch Wan is also here today. I have only been in the palace for a short period of time and you are not as senior as you are in this palace. Please tell me what kind of crime this slave who talks about his master’s behind his back deserves to be punished!”
Ningxi is determined to pursue this matter with a perfect ending. Aniang is right, having power is an advantage. Now you have power and don’t rely on it to act. When you lose power one day, someone else will pour cold water on you. When it comes to your head, you don’t even have the chance to talk back.
"Since the masters are not capable of teaching low-level slaves, I ask the old slave to come here and take away all these unscrupulous slaves who are gossiping behind their backs!" The slaves who had been listening to the order immediately rushed to the side. He suppressed the person in front of him.
Wan Dequan bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, my dear concubine, I will take a few people down right now."
They all just came out of Yong'an Palace. If it hadn't been the first day of the Lunar New Year, they wouldn't be able to gather together like this.
Ning Xi looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't suppress the bad elements in her heart for a moment. Looking at the different expressions on everyone's faces, it was only those few people who were laughing.
He has the ability to instigate his slaves but not the ability to confront him head-on. If any of the maids who enter the palace has not been disciplined by their nanny before entering the palace, if they dare to do so, it is because of the master's instructions. Thinking of this, Ningxi's face showed a hint of sarcasm.
Liu Yingxue was also among them. She was not looking at the fun, she was just a little surprised. Concubine Ning had never liked to interact with others too much since she entered the palace. This was the first time she punished palace people in public.
Ever since she knew that what happened to Concubine Liu Shu was her own fault, Concubine Liu Shu recalled what she had done at the palace banquet, and her face was a little dull. Maybe her methods were too childish and others didn't take them seriously at all. Are there not many people who become clowns themselves?
"Sister, you have to be merciful and merciful, don't go too far." Liu Yingxue wanted to be kind to others, but she didn't expect that they would not appreciate it. The embarrassment is mixed with a trace of sadness for a moment. The embarrassment is normal, but the sadness comes from I don’t know where?
"Let Sister Shu Fei worry about it. I still have some ideas." Ning Xi's words had no other meaning. She didn't want to hear others always talking behind her back. People who have the ability are in head-to-head confrontation. What's the point of stabbing someone in the back? .
Liu Yingxue was silent, but there were many flashes in her mind. You were so kind, but others didn't appreciate it and laughed at you. It seemed like you were the one picking on the mouse. Liu Yingxue had a decent smile on her face, "Okay, sister, you are talking too much." , I hope my sister won’t be surprised.”
Ningxi is good at holding grudges, but Ningxi doesn't take it to heart about the stumbling block Liu Shufei has created for him. It doesn't hurt him, so there's no need to worry about it. Furthermore, seeing how she acted like a well-behaved child who respected her parents' words at home, Ningxi didn't want to bully the well-behaved child.
"Sister, what you said is serious." Ning Xi had a smile on her lips, which was completely different from the unsatisfactory look she had just now.
Liu Yingxue was a little infected by this smile. Maybe she was still suitable to eat fast and chant Buddha in Zhongtang Palace, otherwise why would she want to climb up as soon as others gave her a good look?
"If sister has nothing to do in the future, you can come and sit in my sister's palace."
"Really?" Liu Yingxue's surprised expression was very different from the normal one she pretended to be decent. Ningxi shrugged. It seemed that this sister had two faces.
Ningxi nodded seriously. Anyway, she usually had very single interests and hobbies. She stayed alone in the palace. This Concubine Liu Shu had a quiet temperament and was not as courageous as that outstanding one. She was still willing to give to her just because of her timidity. The good sister took it out on her, so Ning Xi felt that she was a very upright character and there would be no harm in dating her more in the future.
Ning Xi and Liu Yingxue didn't expect that because of what happened today, they would become good sisters in the harem, so good that they felt that the emperor was the mistress who ruined their relationship.
Xiao Chengyan would receive letters from Wan Dequan every two days. Ning Honghui knew that it was the concubine in the palace who urged the emperor to return to the palace, and joked with a smile, "My cousin's perseverance is really extraordinary."
Xiao Chengyan nodded in agreement and asked the concubine why she didn't go to Qingxin Palace every day. She also knew that it would take time for Eunuch Wan to send messages, and going there every day was not an opportunity for everyone to talk. Therefore, I went there every two days, and the time was calculated just right.
"I heard that General Chen's wife is still in the Chen Mansion?"
Ning Honghui didn't know that the Chen family had long been in the eyes of the emperor. Ever since the former prince defeated the Chen family and regained its position, the path of the Chen family had been set. Would the emperor need the Chen family that was just like a wallflower? No, the emperor only needs General Chen.
"What your Majesty heard is indeed true. My aunt returned to Beijing this time with the determination to disrupt the Chen family." Thinking of his aunt's abilities, Ning Honghui was very worried for Mrs. Chen. Don't get angry at her age. , How will you live the rest of your life if you are afraid of having a stroke in old age and your mouth and eyes will be crooked?
Ordinarily, General Chen's doting attitude towards his wife would allow her to stay in the Chen family, but it turned out that the general's wife was willing to stay.
At that time, Mrs. Chen wanted to keep Mrs. Chen in the name of filial piety. She did not want General Chen to directly push his wife into the carriage. He even said to the old lady in a nice way, "Mother, if you want your son to fulfill his filial piety, then you will be better off." But if you go to the northwest, your son will treat his mother as his superior."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she fainted on the spot. She kept chanting, "Treason, traitor!" She was not a traitor. She was in all the splendor of the Chen Mansion. Even if she went to that shabby place in the northwest, would she still be the most noble lady of the Chen family? , she will definitely not give it up!
It's a pity that Mrs. Chen didn't expect that as she got older, there would be someone in the house who dared to openly target her.
"Chen Ning, you are so bold. You married into the Chen family and did not serve your parents-in-law for more than ten years. Now you are still disrespectful. Is this how your Ning family teaches you to be a wife and a wife?"
Not to mention that although the old lady is older, her body is still strong, and her demeanor in scolding people is still the same as before.
"Old madam, what you said is wrong. Our Ning family only teaches and educates people. What we teach is filial piety, not stupid filial piety. As the saying goes, a mother is kind and her son is filial. How can you dare to treat your daughter-in-law with this face? She is usually so scared. Do your duty of filial piety in front of me." Ning Huaxi has never given up on bickering. The general will accompany him for three days and a small quarrel for five days. His skill can only increase but not decrease. There is no comparison with the old lady.
"Come here, write a letter to Zhi'er quickly and tell him that I don't dare to have his wife, and I can't afford it."
Mrs. Chen thought that Chen Zhi was eight or nine years old, and when she gave her a smile, he leaned over to her, longing for motherly love. Shit, she slapped Chen Zhi. After Chen Zhi knew that he was not born from his legitimate mother, he never desired anything from Mrs. Chen again. A little bit of maternal love.
Your old lady is talking about filial piety. We can't get away from this topic today. Ning Huaxi didn't realize what was wrong. But don't, do you have any grievances? Our master has promised that my daughter-in-law will fulfill his filial piety for him. You see, my daughter-in-law has come to serve you for dinner every three days, so why are you complaining?"
Complain? Mrs. Chen was so angry that her brain was blurred, as if there were bees circling her all the time, not stopping for a moment. Mrs. Chen felt that if she did not send this daughter-in-law away, she might not be able to live a good life for a day. She has three good daughters-in-law to serve her, who needs this rebellious daughter-in-law!
It was another sunny day. The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted. Ning Huaxi felt unusual when she went out. Huh, if the damn old lady dares to scheme against our daughter, you must have the courage to bear the consequences.
Ning Huaxi and Chen Zhi have wanted to have another daughter for so many years. However, after Dajiaojiao was born, all the children they gave birth to were sons. Every time Chen Zhi became pregnant, she always talked about her daughter, but all the children were born with miscarriages. Yes, it's really annoying.
What's even more irritating is that the only daughter has been brought into the palace by this old woman. When a mother meets her daughter, she has to hand over a sign and wait for the news to be passed on. This mother-in-law is so aggrieved. Ning Huaxi is sitting in the sedan chair. I found that the stuffy air that had just emitted in the morning was back again.
The day's plan starts in the morning. It seems that Mrs. Chen won't be able to enjoy breakfast tomorrow.
