Chapter 585: A Friend, Not a Husband
seventy or eighty years, surpassing the ancient rarity, and having hope of living to be one hundred years old. 。This is what the world should be like, and Heaven shouldn't be able to act however it p...She finished speaking and immediately began kowtowing, bang bang bang, she was quite forceful, and in a short while, her forehead was bleeding. 。Many people felt sympathy upon seeing this scene, especially some men who thought that XiChun's appearance was quite pretty. She was delicate and charming, and it made them feel sorry to see her bowing like this. 。Then they began to speak for Xichun: "Miss Fourth has a magnanimous heart, so please forgive her this time! This girl looks like she truly knows she's wrong, she's already hit her head until it bleeds, if she hits it again, she might die! Miss Fourth, spare her!" "Yes! Taking a life is just a matter of nodding your head. We should at least give her a chance to correct her mistake." 。"Why You just touch your upper and lower lips, saying forgiveness means forgiveness How can you be so magnanimous A group of men come to a banquet and have a banquet, what's it got to do with women's affairs Do you know who she is Do you know what she has done Do you know why she knelt here and kowtowed to my young lady You don't know anything, you just see that she is pretty and beg for mercy. Go back and ask your own wives, can the concubine maids be forgiven"This girl, Zhai'er, has always had a bit of a temper. After following Ye Wenyan, she became more capable. She saw the world and became even more so. " 。These high-ranking officials in the court looked like nothing to her. She thought she could scold them back with just her mouth open, without any fear at all. 。But those ministers couldn't stand it! When they saw themselves being scolded by a maidservant, they immediately panicked. 。One of them suddenly slammed the table — "Presumptuous! What are you, to speak to an official like this Do you know what crime this is" Dui'er wasn't afraid of him at all. At that time, she replied, "What crime, what crime How I speak is my own business. Whatever consequences my words may cause, my master will take care of them, there's no need for you to worry about it." 。It's up to you adults to think this through carefully. Consider who will back you up once you speak your mind. Don't make promises you can't keep and lead yourself into trouble. Remember, there are no "undo" buttons in life. 。"You—" The official was about to say what your master was, and what could she do for you As a result, someone next to him quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Master, the mistress is the Empress Dowager. Sir, you've made trouble." 。"
The official's face changed color at that moment, and when he looked at Ye Wenyan again, he saw Ye Wenyan also looking over with his legs crossed. " 。That look was so sharp, like two knives, flying towards him, swoosh swoosh swoosh. 。For a moment, all the things that the Emperor had done to help his daughter-in-law at that time flashed through his mind. Especially the scene in front of the Chang Princess' Mansion, he even sent people to dig up the bones of the Autumn Hu royal family and turn them into ashes. 。He was so scared that he slid off the chair and knelt on the ground, trembling as he looked at Ye Wen, repeatedly saying, "I know I was wrong. Please, Your Majesty and Empress, spare my life!"Someone couldn't help it and burst out laughing, saying that this official was really interesting. No one said anything, but he talked the most. He even dared to argue with Miss Ye Si's maidservant. Hadn't he heard that there are three officials in front of the Prime Minister's gateZhuier snorted heavily and rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything else. 。But it was Quan Qingcheng who waved to her and said, "Pei'er, come here. Let me hear your thoughts. It must have been unpleasant to be scolded for no reason, right"
All the ministers present rubbed their foreheads, and the official kneeling on the ground was even more flustered. 。One night, even one Miss Si wasn't enough. The Emperor actually supported this girl, what is her backgroundBefore, it was fine if the Emperor supported her. An emperor who hadn't yet taken control of the government, he didn't even look at her... 。As long as the regent gives him a good face, he doesn't care about anyone else. 。But now things are different, the little emperor is going to be taken as a disciple by the Sovereign Emperor, and there will even be a welcoming banquet for his master. That means it's an announcement to the world. 。How can he still look down on others Even the Regent, from now on, has to think carefully about what he says and does, and can't act like before anymore. 。
The girl didn't budge, not giving Quan Qingcheng any face at all.
。I also care about you, afraid you'll get sick from being angry. 。"
Zhui'er leaned down towards him, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This servant is not easily angered. As long as my young mistress is here, no one in the world can anger me." 。“After finishing his words, he still swept his gaze around the kneeling figure. ‘Killing someone is as simple as nodding your head, who said that’”
Immediately, another person knelt down following suit. “Killing someone is as simple as nodding your head,” was what he had said. At the time, he had indeed felt sorry for Xichun, but only now did he realize he had spoken out of turn and meddled in something that wasn’t his concern.
How can it have increased before even drinking He's sticking his nose into matters that don't concern him! It was fine without him getting involved, but now he has offended the Empress. 。Then Zhu'er let out another angry snort, making the hearts of the two people pound like thunder. Their eyes were wide with fear, as if their hearts were about to burst from their chests. 。 The two replied in unison, “We were wrong. We have spoken out of turn.” 。"In the presence of the Emperor and Empress, they dare to call themselves subjects. " 。Ye Wen ignored them, only looking at Xichun who was still kneeling. "I didn't stop you from speaking, continue..." 。Xi Chun was crying her eyes out, with a face full of grief, not knowing how to continue. 。Having said what needed to be said and kowtowed as required, is there anything else to say Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Wenyan continued, "Is that all you have to say Well, now that you're finished, let me have my say." 。She changed her position, putting her legs down and holding a cup of light tea. 。"Since you say you want to be my maidservant again, then I must make something clear to you" 。If you were a concubine in the second house, I wouldn't be able to touch you. 。But if you were a maidservant in my house, then life and death would be up to me. 。" Xi Chun shuddered, Ye Wen continued: “You’ve always been a person in my house, following me since you were young. It's been so many years, and I've always treated you well " 。
I was thinking of finding you a good husband's family in these two years, and give you a dowry to marry with splendor. Who would have thought that you are still an ambitious girl who doesn't look down on my arrangements and found your own way out.
Since you've become involved with my uncle and are now his concubine, from now on you must share life and death with him. 。How come your husband hasn't been completely ruined yet, and you are going to betray him again To betray two masters in a row, what do you say about you as a maidservant, should you be killed"
The two adults kneeling there only understood at this point that the girl had originally served Miss Ye Si, but later climbed into Master Ye Er's bed for a higher position>>> 。Damn, these scumbags are begging for her They've got nothing better to do This is such a waste of time. 。At this point, Zhuai gave them another good scolding: “See! I told you so! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the truth of the matter, and don't meddle in other people's affairs!” 。"Now the truth is out, how awkward is the atmosphere Where are you putting your old faces" Those two adults dared not speak again, each lowering their heads to look at the ground, determined not to argue with Zhuier. 。Quan Qingcheng, however, laughed out loud and praised Zhuai'er for her sharp retort. He even told Zhuai'er to practice more, saying that when foreign envoys came to Beiqi again and talked nonsense, she should be the one to send them back home with their tails between their legs. 。The child nodded, accepting the task. 。This series of actions left the ministers stunned. Some sighed that the emperor was truly fawning over Miss Ye Si, even fawning on her maidservants. 。This doesn't even look like the way an emperor would act! I haven't heard of an emperor ever making advances towards a maidservant. 。
Some people also said: "How come there was no sign of favoritism shown to the maidservant You think that all the imperial concubines favored by emperors in the past came from nowhere"
Others even said: "The maidservants of the Empress and Emperor, you can't really treat them as ordinary maidservants. I heard that this maidservant was actually a disciple of Lian Gonggong, the chief eunuch of Yanhuagong. She learned all sorts of skills from Lian Gonggong.
" Not just the emperor's disciple! Don't you remember At the New Year's Palace Banquet, this maidservant ended up by the emperor's side. I saw that even Empress Dowager Yu smiled at her, who knows, maybe after the emperor turns eighteen and gets married, she will be welcomed into the palace as a mistress! " 。Well, the position of empress is certainly guaranteed. After all, one has to give Empress Dowager face. 。Everyone's discussion, Qingcheng also heard it, but he didn't care. 。The little girl is his good friend, marrying into the palace as a concubine would be unfair to her. 。He was destined to be an emperor who could not love only one woman, and his harem was bound to have many women. 。Some women may remain unmarried their whole lives, while others may be active in his life. Regardless of which path they choose, conflict is inevitable. 。He knew how fierce the competition in the former emperor's harem was, so he wouldn't let Zhuai go through that ordeal. 。A daughter deserves a husband who loves her wholeheartedly. As her good friend, he should strive to help her find such a husband instead of marrying her himself. 。Xi Chun was still kneeling on the ground, Ye Wen's words had made her lose her courage. 。 Yes! Returning to Ye Wenyan's side, life and death would be whatever Ye Wenyan said. Then should she go back Zhuier reminded her again at this time: "Actually... Aunt Chun! You just don't return to the side of Miss Four, life and death are also up to Miss Four." 。Remember, our Miss Four is now the future Empress. The entire world will be under her rule. 。“ Xi Chun slumped to the ground with a thud, his face as white as a sheet, and he didn't dare speak another word. 。Xiang Dong saw this scene with her own eyes, and she was full of mixed emotions. 。It's a shame that Xi Chun chose to go down a different path, after serving the young mistress together for so long. 。Now that both paths are blocked, this must be fate! Nightingale felt that Xi Chun was really embarrassing himself. He came back to apologize today, that's true, but they had already discussed how to cooperate at the temple, agreeing to put all the blame on the old woman and claim they didn't know about it, saying they were also victims. 。Then he lowered his head again to acknowledge his mistake to Yè Wēn Yán, and the matter might just pass. 。Who would have thought that Xichun would come up with this, actually going back to Ye Wenyan's side This is too embarrassing for him. 。He glared fiercely at Xichun, calculating in his heart how to deal with this little wretch after the matter was over. 。At that moment, Ye Wushuang and Chang Xueqiao looked at each other, then turned to look at Ye Hongzhuang together... >r, Li Yuan's carriage. 。Shi Liyuan didn't go far, the palanquin moved grandly forward. When coming, it was joyful, when leaving, it was melancholy. 。No one expected things to turn out this way, even...
