"Please give me a clear warning from the Queen Mother!" Mrs. Fuyin secretly gritted her teeth. When she heard the Queen Mother's question about this matter, she grasped at straws and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times:
"My wife, this rebellious girl, does not know the identity of the eldest princess and the second princess of Xiangjia. She had some unpleasant encounters with the two princesses. It is normal for the empress to punish her, but... I am afraid that Ke'er will die."
Concubine De wanted to reply to the Queen Mother, but Mrs. Fu Yin beat her to it. Disgust suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The mother and daughter are exactly the same, both are equally disgusting.
How can your face be so big? How did Ning Keer and her maids bully the two little princesses? Her daughter bullied the little princess, and she took it lightly like this?
"Oh?" The Queen Mother had such a good lawsuit to look at when she arrived. She raised her eyebrows and said with a little smile in her eyes: "The Imperial Concubine, is that right?"
"Mrs. Fuyin," Xie Ziyue did not answer the Queen Mother directly, but directed her eyes at Mrs. Fuyin, "So many people were watching in the imperial garden just now. Ning Keer beat the two princesses like this, showing such contempt for the royal authority. … Could it be that I am still wrong in punishing you?”
After saying that, Xie Ziyue ignored Mrs. Fu Yin's ugly face and said coldly: "If the queen mother feels that what I am doing is wrong, then I might as well report it to your majesty, and your majesty will decide everything."
Actually, Han Xianzong was directly moved out.
Seeing that Xie Ziyue was so confident, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that her breath was stuck in her throat, and she could not get up or get down.
Xianzong of the Han Dynasty doted on Xie Ziyue and the daughter she gave birth to. If this matter was reported to Xianzong of the Han Dynasty, he loved the eldest princess so much that it goes without saying that everyone would agree.
Seeing so many people looking here, the Queen Mother felt that her face had been stepped on by Xie Ziyue.
The other party deliberately provoked her like this, regardless of her face as the queen mother.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood!" Mrs. Fu Yin was very protective of her daughter and did not want anything to happen to her daughter. But she is not a fool and knows what wrong things her daughter has done.
If this reaches His Majesty's ears, the punishment may be even more severe... Mrs. Fuyin felt sad and miserable for a moment, feeling as if her heart was soaked in bitter water and then set on fire, suffering repeatedly.
"It is indeed Miss Fu Yin who did something inappropriate at this time," the Queen Mother took a deep breath for a moment and said in deep thought:
"However, Mr. Fu Yin is also a minister in the court. As the head of the harem, the imperial concubine should share your majesty's worries. Even for Mr. Fu Yin's sake, you should be lenient with Miss Fu Yin."
Xie Ziyue's eyes sharpened, and when she was about to open her mouth to refute, the Queen Mother said without waiting for her to speak: "This matter will be dealt with twenty times, which also shows the royal family's benevolence."
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, the entire Imperial Garden fell silent.
Xin Zhangjing looked at Xie Ziyue frequently, waiting for her instructions. The other maids and eunuchs also looked at Xie Ziyue, as if they didn't dare to move unless the imperial concubine nodded.
Over the years, Xie Ziyue has been handling the affairs of the palace no differently than a queen. If it hadn't been for Master Mo Wang back then, I'm afraid she would have been the master of the harem.
But now even if she is not the queen, she is still the same as the queen in this palace, and the prestige she has accumulated cannot be compared to the empress dowager who lives in seclusion in Shoukang Palace.
Since the Queen Mother lived in seclusion in Shoukang Palace, the situation in the palace has undergone a huge change. The slaves are the ones who are most attuned to the changing circumstances, and naturally only Xie Ziyue follows his lead.
The Queen Mother is not blind, so how can she not understand the eyes of these palace maids and eunuchs?
If just now she just had a breath stuck in her throat, now she is like a mouthful of old blood holding in her chest. After enduring it again and again, she still couldn't help but said in hatred:
"What's wrong? It's useless for the Yi family to talk now, right?"
No one in the Royal Garden dared to speak out, but now everyone was afraid to speak out, for fear of getting involved in the confrontation between the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine.
"The imperial concubine is so kind! Great! Now the harem is all yours, and the Ai family can't even say a word!"
When the Queen Mother saw that these eunuchs and maids still did not make any move, her chest heaved with anger, and she laughed angrily.
"Mother's words are serious." Seeing that the wives were secretly looking at this place, Xie Ziyue didn't want to argue with the Queen Mother over Ning Ke'er here, so she glanced at Xin Zhangjing and said coldly:
"What? Are your ears useless? Didn't you hear the queen mother say, pull it down and hit twenty big boards?"
Xie Ziyue agreed with the Queen Mother on her face, but her tone was careless, and the eunuchs and maids all saw it.
Xin Zhang responded respectfully, without even apologizing, and directly pulled Ning Keer down.
Mrs. Fuyin was grateful. Even though her daughter would also suffer, at least her life should not be a big problem.
She kowtowed to the Queen Mother several times and kept thanking her.
Where does the Queen Mother want Mrs. Fu Yin's gratitude? I just wanted to fight Xie Ziyue, but I didn't expect to lose so embarrassingly!
Feeling shameless, the Queen Mother felt angry. When facing Mrs. Fu Yin, the smile on her face was forced out.
Will Xie Ziyue be so willing to give up?
Obviously not.
After the ladies came out of the palace in the afternoon, they heard from Laifu that Han Xianzong was coming, so she dressed up specially and blew the wind on her pillow after Han Xianzong arrived.
She never asked about the affairs of the court. She only said that Gu Xuan suffered a lot of injustice today, and her hands were pinched and covered with bruises. She was very pitiful.
"Is this happening?" Han Xianzong was busy trying to hug her, but Xie Ziyue blocked her with a reluctant expression:
"Your Majesty, are you still not A-Xuan's biological father? You didn't even know that she was beaten like that by Ning Ke'er in the Royal Garden today?"
"You are talking nonsense again," Han Xianzong said helplessly, "Laifu is becoming more and more unreliable now, and you don't tell me about such a big thing... Didn't you deal with the young lady of the Fuyin family?"
When he heard that his daughter was still injured, he planned to see her tomorrow. Now that Gu Xuan is older and sleeping in the side hall, she may have fallen asleep by now.
Xie Ziyue was waiting for this sentence. She immediately told what the Queen Mother had blocked and finally said:
"Your Majesty, when will the daughter-in-law of Lord Humerus be able to bully the princess at will? If there is no punishment, wouldn't anyone be able to beat the princess and then get twenty big boards in the future?"
Lord of humerus?
"Who said that Fu Yin is the minister of humerus?" Han Xianzong saw Xie Ziyue's face full of displeasure, so he took her hand and patted her, "Fu Yin has no way to teach his daughter, and recently someone has been handing him his instructions frequently. , I want to seek justice for A Xuan and my beloved concubine."
Han Xianzong's method of seeking justice was very simple and unpretentious. Gu Xuan woke up from her sleep the next day and learned from her mother and concubine that Fu Yin had been demoted two ranks and was demoted to Zuo Jianyi.
In this way, Xie Ziyue was particularly dissatisfied. While rubbing safflower oil on her, she said: "Let's see who doesn't have eyes in the future and dares to bully the mother and concubine."
