"I heard that my sister has been extremely powerful recently. First she tried to deal with Concubine Yun, but now she has put her hand on Eunuch Zhao's head. What's the matter? The harem can't accommodate your majesty?"
Chen Yuru was sarcastic and angry.
Concubine Qin was at a loss, "Sister, it's all a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding? Eunuch Zhao is extremely loyal to the emperor and me, and I am not willing to teach you a lesson. When will it be your turn to point fingers?"
"Sister, sister knows that I was wrong."
The situation is stronger than the person, and Concubine Qin is not stupid. If the argument continues, Chen Yuru will really give her a few big mouths, and she will not be able to find a place to cry. Furthermore, Chen Yuru has her back against Chen Guogong, and the Queen Mother has always been reclusive. Past affairs.
If she was beaten today, the Queen Mother would most likely not come forward.
"It's easier to deal with if you know you're wrong. As the master of the harem, I'm also sensible. You can go back to Eunuch Zhao to explain the mistake later. I'll just pretend that nothing happened."
"What?"
Concubine Qin was stunned.
She is a royal concubine!
Wouldn't it be a big joke to ask her to apologize to a slave?
"Sister, even if my sister makes some mistakes, she should not bow to the slaves. Otherwise, how will your Majesty's face be saved?"
"You still dare to mention the emperor?"
Chen Yuru's face turned cold.
She came here just to deal with the potential threat and carry the emperor out of the way. She really thought that she, Chen Yuru, was just a freeloader!
"Asking for help and threatening others, sister, this is not how people do it. Do you think this is Guan Long and everyone is afraid of you?"
"My sister did something wrong, but she still represents the majesty of the royal family. She must not..."
"enough!"
Chen Yuru slapped the chair, her pretty face became more sullen, "If you don't accept it, go to the Queen Mother. Besides, the majesty of the royal family includes me and the Queen Mother. When will it be your turn to represent me?"
She didn't give her any face. Concubine Qin's face turned the color of pig liver after being scolded. She couldn't even talk back or leave.
Five whole minutes.
Chen Yuru circled around the stiff Concubine Qin and made her cry.
Concubine Qin wiped her tears and cried non-stop. The eunuchs and maids looked at each other, not daring to breathe.
Chen Yuru refused to give up and sneered: "Sister, you'd better find your own position in the future. Without my consent, you also want to sleep with me? What a dream!"
After saying that, Chen Yuru flicked her sleeves and walked away with a group of eunuchs and maids.
Concubine Qin stood frozen for a long time, kicked over her chair and shouted, hysterically.
Shame!
Chen Yuru actually scolded her for a eunuch!
"No, I can't swallow this breath. I want to see the emperor."
"No, my dear, how can you trespass without a summons?"
"Go away, if the emperor doesn't give me an explanation today, I will hang myself in the Yangxin Hall."
A large group of people followed Concubine Qin. When the servants of various palaces and courtyards saw this scene, they hurried back to report to their master.
The empress was stunned for a moment when she heard the news, but Zhao An, who had just sent Ning Xueer back to the small courtyard, couldn't help laughing, "What a shrew."
"Look at all the trouble you've caused me."
The empress checked her clothes and pretended to read the memorial with a cold face.
emperor--
A few seconds later, a mournful voice came.
Concubine Qin stumbled into the hall and fell down "accidentally". She raised her face with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me -"
The empress looked surprised, "My dear concubine, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, I was scolded by the Queen just now. I am unjustly accused."
Concubine Qin was crying hard. Looking at the weak Liu Fufeng, she felt like she would pass away in the next second.
The Empress knew that she was putting on airs and said seriously: "The Queen is a mother who respects the world, how can she scold you for no reason?"
"I am in a irritable mood right now. I taught a slave a lesson, but the queen actually asked me to apologize to the slave. There is no reason in the world for a master to admit his mistake to a slave."
"Well, it's indeed inappropriate. How did you deal with that slave to make the queen so angry?"
The empress asked knowingly.
Concubine Qin was startled, opened her mouth and got stuck on the spot.
How does she deal with her slaves?
Just slaps, pinching fingers, almost breaking them off...
She subconsciously looked at Zhao An, who was not far away. Zhao An looked at her lightly, his eyes full of gloom.
If this bad woman dares to talk nonsense, I will make her have diarrhea tomorrow and be unable to get out of bed!
"Say it so I can make the decision for you."
The empress raised her brows, half-smiling, and Concubine Qin looked away guiltily, "It's just a small lesson..."
"Really? Zhao An, how is your servant's injury?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is right, it is indeed a minor injury, just a smashed face and ten fingers broken off."
Zhao An pretended to be relaxed and said.
Hearing this, Concubine Qin looked up guiltily to observe the empress's reaction. The corner of the empress's lips curved up, "I remember, I rewarded you with that maid, right?"
"Yes, this slave is guilty. He has not been able to take good care of him even with all His Majesty has given him."
Zhao An knelt down solemnly to apologize.
The two of them sang together.
Qin Ruyu was immediately dumbfounded. She didn't know that Ning Xueer was rewarded by the emperor!
If she knew, she wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.
The empress lost her smile and said coldly to Concubine Qin: "No wonder the queen is angry. You don't take me seriously at all."
"Your Majesty, I know that I have made a mistake. Please forgive me this time."
"My beloved, why should you be nervous? You are just a slave, so you can beat me. However, it is my golden praise. You have to compensate for Eunuch Zhao's loss."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao An raised his eyebrows at Concubine Qin, "My Lady, I don't ask for much. If my hands are broken, a thousand gold in compensation is not too much, right?"
puff--
The empress almost laughed out loud. This was shameless and so evil!
One thousand gold is equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver. Outside, a maid is only five taels. After all, four thousand maids are enough. Even if they are beautiful and capable, one thousand is more than enough.
Concubine Qin's face suddenly became much uglier, but because the emperor could not speak, she could only break her teeth and swallow it, "I will give Guan Lu a letter and ask someone to prepare money to send it."
"Well, I also know that a mere slave can't cost that much money. I grant you a title in the Qin family. You can stay in Beijing and use it."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Qin, who had just looked like her father was dead, suddenly became elated, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"When have I deceived you? But there is a reason for everything. Just treat it as tribute. I will give you face and a title. You should be kind and select the available talents to serve me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will write to my father when I get back."
Concubine Qin got up and ran away, not asking about sleeping with her.
After she left, the empress asked: "Allowing the Qin family to enter the court can't stop Chen Guogong, right?"
Zhao An shrugged. The Qin family still had some background in Guanlu. As a local powerful person, entering the capital would be a glorious honor for the family. It was unlikely that the Qin family would refuse, not to mention that Concubine Qin also needed someone to support her.
