A close attendant went to open the door that had been closed just now, and soon a close confidant came to report the matter of Princess Changhua.
The queen only felt that her eyes were darkening - what an injustice!
"Go and stop her right away. Don't let her hurt Quan!"
He no longer cared about the emperor's eldest son, and went to his daughter to put out the fire: "Get off and go to Quan's palace, quickly!"
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the day lilies were cold.
Princess Changhua is nowhere to be found, and the Quan family is even less sure where they are.
A stinging pain suddenly came from her heart, and the queen's eyes felt dizzy. The scenery and people around her seemed to be in a state of turmoil.
She took a deep breath to calm down, and finally squeaked out: "Why don't you hurry up and find us?!"
The left and right people hurriedly took orders and scattered in all directions.
Princess Changhua was found by a certain concubine, and was then escorted to the Queen - this was an order given by the Queen herself. After finding the person, no matter what Princess Changhua was doing, as long as it was not in front of the emperor, They all escorted that idiot to her!
Princess Changhua had never suffered such grievance in her life. She was pushed and pushed by several slaves for such a long distance as if they were escorting a prisoner.
"Mother, you must make the decision for me, I..."
She didn't even finish the rest of her complaints before she was slapped back in the stomach by the queen!
The queen comes from a wealthy family and has always had the self-restraint and arrogance of the old aristocracy.
She would hardly punish anyone in the harem unless absolutely necessary, let alone do it herself.
As the saying goes, you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them, and you don't slap people in the face when you hit them. Although the physical damage caused by slapping is far less than that of a cane, the humiliation it causes to people is completely different.
The queen never expected that one day she would slap her biological daughter on the face with her own hands - but at this moment, only such a brutal act could intuitively express her anger and hatred.
The surrounding attendants obviously did not expect that Princess Changhua would be beaten, so how could Princess Changhua herself expect it?
She covered the beaten side of her face in disbelief and was about to burst into tears, but the Queen didn't give her the chance at all. She snatched the whip from her hand and whipped it with her arm.
"Ah, Queen Mother——" Princess Changhua screamed in a high-pitched voice.
The queen ignored him and whipped him three times before throwing the whip to the ground.
Over there, the blood stain on Princess Changhua's arm was already bleeding.
The queen first ordered her maids: "You guys go together and kowtow to ask for forgiveness wherever this evildoer goes to cause trouble. Tell the concubines in the harem that what happened today is because of my goddaughter's bad behavior." For this reason, I will go through the accounts of my palace and each person will be compensated with one year's worth of silver. When Quan Shuyi is found, I will visit them one by one to make amends."
When the female officials heard this, they naturally knew that this matter was not trivial. They looked at each other in confusion and hurriedly responded.
After all, Princess Changhua was not so stupid that her mouth was drooling for twelve hours. Seeing that her mother, with the dignity of a queen, had to bow her head to the concubines in the harem, she knew that she had caused a lot of trouble this time.
Although the brother and sister are like rotten fish to rotten shrimps, compared to the son, the daughter does know how to feel sorry for her mother more.
She covered her arms, her eyes were red, and she timidly called out: "Mother..."
Princess Changhua's nose became sore and she burst into tears: "It was me who caused the trouble. I just go and apologize to them. You don't want to go."
If this scoundrel made a big fuss like the eldest son of the emperor, the queen would immediately ask someone to silence her, but she didn't. She also knew how to put aside her face to save herself...
The queen's eyes heated up, and her tone softened: "Son!"
She couldn't help but shed tears: "Why are you so confused! Neither you nor your brother let me worry!"
Princess Changhua sobbed and said, "I'm just so angry! If it weren't for the queen mother's noble support, they would have died long ago, but now they are ungrateful and come to steal our things!"
The queen smiled wryly, shook her head, and corrected her: "It's not our stuff. Now, it's still your father's stuff."
Then she reminded her: "Silly boy, I did help the Quan family a little bit in the past. This is a favor. But if I treat the Quan family like a slave like you, the kindness will turn into hatred!"
Princess Changhua looked puzzled.
The bitterness on the Queen's face deepened: "You have no money to eat today, so you asked someone to borrow 20 yuan. If you have money tomorrow, what should you do?"
Princess Changhua said: "We should add some money to the twenty cents to repay that person."
The queen asked: "What if the other party is not satisfied and wants ten times the money?"
Princess Changhua frowned and was speechless.
The queen asked again: "What if the other party wants you to be a slave and a maid, and your children to be slaves and maids to serve him for generations?"
Princess Changhua's face suddenly changed and she looked horrified.
When the queen saw this, she knew she understood: "Don't worry about filling a mouth that can't be filled. Whenever you have a chance, you will definitely kill him, even if he has lent you twenty coins before!"
Isn't that the relationship between her and Quan's mother and son?
If it were just a simple battle for the throne, after the Sixth Prince won, there might still be a chance for them, mother and son, to be saved because of their previous romantic relationship.
But if Princess Changhua relies on those little incest feelings to humiliate the concubines and suppress the sixth prince, then once the sixth prince gains power, he will definitely get rid of them mercilessly!
Princess Changhua remained silent, the arrogance in her expression disappeared completely, and turned into anxiety and uneasiness.
The queen sighed secretly when she saw this, and was about to order someone to take her back to the palace. Unexpectedly, at this time, a confidant came forward with a solemn face to report: "Your Majesty..."
The queen looked at her expression and suddenly felt an ominous feeling in her heart: "What happened?"
The confidant hesitated and said: "Someone saw Quan Shuyi taking the personal maid to His Majesty's palace..."
The queen's feet softened and she almost fell to the ground. However, she had a strong energy to hold her up, so she insisted on standing on the spot: "Ask everyone outside to come back. Since you know where Quan Shuyi is, there is no need to look for her." ”
He glanced at his anxious daughter and finally said, "You guys send Changhua back."
Princess Changhua said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, what about you?"
"I?"
The queen's face was full of bitterness: "I want to go to His Majesty's palace to take off my hairpin and ask for forgiveness."
Princess Changhua was extremely regretful and suddenly said loudly: "I won't go back!"
She firmly pulled her mother's sleeve: "I'm going with my mother! If my father wants to scold me, scold me, and if he wants to hit me, hit me! If Quan is still angry, just let her hit me!" My mother cannot bear the trouble alone!"
The queen looked at her intently for a few seconds, then suddenly turned away and wiped away her tears: "It is a comfort to my mother that you have such filial piety..."
The mother and daughter went to the emperor to plead guilty, and they happened to be at the same time as Concubine Quan. They waited outside for a while, but the emperor's attendant came out and sent a message: "Your Majesty, your majesty is busy with official duties and can't spare time. As for today's matters, , and the punishment has been imposed, please go back."
After that, he also talked about the treatment of Princess Changhua and the addition of the Quan clan as a noble concubine.
The queen didn't care about the punishment her daughter would receive.
Although this is harsh, it is not enough to affect the current overall situation.
The queen didn't care that Quan was granted the title of noble concubine by the Jin Dynasty, because she was the queen.
She only cared about one thing: "Your Majesty, won't you see me?"
There was even a hint of pleading in the queen's brows. She took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the chamberlain: "You can go and report it again!"
Although the chamberlain was covetous of the jade bracelet, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's will. He tried to shirk it repeatedly, but finally refused.
Princess Changhua was indeed ashamed and angry at the punishment inflicted on her by her father, but she could not help but feel relieved when she heard that her mother and daughter did not have to go inside to see the driver. At this time, seeing her mother in such anxiety and pain, she felt really puzzled.
She has been punished here, and Concubine Quan has been rewarded. This matter should end here. Why does the queen mother have to see her father?
The queen made a mistake and met her daughter's blank and confused eyes. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly rose in her heart, drowning her like a tide.
Silly boy.
Her mouth was full of bitterness.
I have been married to your father for many years and know him very well.
He will not look at a person based on emotion alone.
What was Quan's fault for what happened back then?
A stunning beauty served him tenderly and diligently, but in the end she ended up like this.
It was not because the emperor was cruel or psychopathic, and he deliberately wanted to tease her, but because treating the Quan family coldly was good for the country and showed his subjects the king's determination to change his past.
In the same way, he will never be angry with me and refuse to see me just because I failed to educate my daughter well.
It would be a good thing if he let us in, scolded us and scolded us harshly, but the current situation of calm means that the situation has deteriorated to the point where it cannot get any worse.
The undercurrent hidden underneath is the most terrifying thing!
…
The emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight and is inviting relatives to come. Naturally, Ying Zheng, a prince who has been in the limelight recently, will be eager to deliver messages.
During this period, what happened to Concubine Quan today inevitably reached his ears.
The servants in the palace are the ones who can easily change the direction of the situation, not to mention that they are the ones who serve the emperor.
Even though he looks like a clay Buddha in the palace every day, as long as he has eyes and ears, and can listen a little and look a few times, he can always realize the direction of the wind, and even whether the wind is strong. .
Now, the Sixth Prince is the most powerful force in the Zhou Kingdom besides the emperor.
The chamberlain lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Princess's arrogance is not something that happens in a day or two. Who would have thought that she would be so bold and offend the imperial concubine in this way..."
He also told what Princess Changhua said at that time.
Ying Zheng frowned upon hearing this.
There was one thing that the Queen did not misunderstand about him, and that was his definition of repaying kindness.
You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. This is fair.
You are a little greedy...
Okay, even though I feel unhappy, I still think about the past, so it’s not like I can’t help you.
You are so brave, yet you are so greedy!
Damn it!
If the debt cannot be repaid, wouldn't it be better to kill the creditor? !
In the past, Ying Zheng planned to repay the queen, mother and son by giving them preferential treatment after he came to power to repay his past kindness. But now Princess Changhua humiliates his mother so arrogantly, which is obviously far beyond him. With the psychological expectation, everything that was preset earlier will have to be overthrown and started all over again.
However, this matter is probably not your turn to deal with.
The emperor can't rub the sand out of his eyes...
In just a few moments, several thoughts passed through Ying Zheng's mind, but his face remained as calm as before. The servant looked as if he was here to place a bet in advance, but who knows if it was the emperor's order to come and test it out. Of.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was already a little late.
