"Long live my lord...it's not what you think..." Concubine Zhao woke up and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and continued in a panic, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood."
Dongyun was even more frightened and kowtowed to the ground. The rules in the palace were that lynching and beating of palace maids was not allowed. Although this kind of thing often happened in private, now that she was living in front of the emperor, there was no room for her to quibble.
Lan Qi was here to protect her master, but she didn't realize that her clothes had been torn by Dongyun. Bu Changzai could only cry, but now that she saw the emperor, she was so frightened that she couldn't even cry.
And Lan Qi knew the importance better. It was now the Lantern Festival and she was in Cining Palace. If she complained about her master and begged the emperor to make a decision just because she was seen by the emperor, once she alerted the Empress Dowager, just based on her status as Concubine Zhao, she would
In this matter today, it is destined to be their master and servant who suffer the consequences.
But Lan Qi didn't know that just a sensible thought would completely change her life.
Because the incident was so serious, and knowing that the emperor had a grudge against Niu Gulu, and fearing that he might do something foolish in his youth and anger and hurt the harmony between the emperor and his ministers, the Empress Dowager finally came forward and called a group of people to the palace to question him.
Concubine Zhao lay next to Sumala, wiping her tears as if she was aggrieved, but said nothing. The Empress Dowager couldn't stand it, so she came to ask the emperor. However, Xuan Ye knew that her grandmother would be partial, and the young man's temper was rising, so he couldn't get angry.
Open your mouth.
"Tell me, what's going on?" The old man could only force Bu Chang to be there, but he was the most cowardly person. He was scared to death and could not say a single word.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was getting more and more embarrassing, the Empress Dowager and her face were still red, but now her face was heavy with green and black. If she really got angry, even Concubine Zhao would not be able to enjoy it.
"The... Empress Dowager." Lan Qi, who was kneeling behind the crowd, suddenly spoke. Everyone looked at her. The Empress Dowager also frowned tightly, fearing that the palace maid would say something she shouldn't have said. However,
Seeing Lan Qi knelt down for a few steps, she kowtowed deeply and said, "You are so brave, the Empress Dowager, can you listen to what I have to say?" Originally, nothing happened, and I and Chang Zai went to the side hall to touch up their makeup. Soon, Concubine Zhao was
When Aunt Dongyun came, the empress and Chang Zai exchanged some jokes, and the slave was too talkative to make fun of her. For a moment, she lost her sense of control, and Chang Zai called Aunt Dongyun to tear the slave's mouth off. That was not true, it was just a joke.
, Long live the Lord suddenly came in, and when I saw... I saw it wrong... "
"You..." Xuan Ye was angry, but the Queen Mother stopped him in time, "Your Majesty, you yourself have made a mistake, why don't you blame a little palace maid?"
Xuan Ye was furious and wanted to talk about Al Ling'a and Concubine Zhao's confrontation. It was obvious that his grandmother was glaring with anger and knew that this matter must end here.
Aunt Sumala laughed angrily, "The masters are too playful. The princes, ministers, and Mrs. Fujin are all here tonight. Look at the commotion. It should be a joke..."
Sumala tried to smooth things over, but Xuan Ye stared at Lan Qi for a moment, and didn't listen to what Sumala said. He thought about saving the little palace maid, but she put all the blame on him.
I can't swallow this breath.
Somehow, she blurted out and interrupted what Grandma Sumala was saying, "Royal grandmother, my grandson wants this palace maid."
The palace immediately fell into silence again. The Empress Dowager knew that Xuan Ye had been blamed for the incident today, and she was already full of grievances. If she didn't obey him, it would not be worth it to make him angry.
She calmly passed her eyes to Sumala. Mammy understood and hurriedly smiled and pulled Lanqi up. Nuannongrong said to the emperor, "The master has already chosen this girl for the emperor. Let's leave it with Bu Chang first. After the first month, I will send you to Qianqing Palace as an errand. You see..."
"There is no need to send her to the Palace of Qianqing to be a palace maid. I want her to sleep with her tonight, and she will be here tomorrow. That's it." Xuan Ye said it seriously, without seeming to be angry, and then he went to the Empress Dowager. He said politely and said he would go back to the banquet.
Everyone was left dumbstruck, but it was the Empress Dowager who finally relented, "That's it, I'll ask the nanny to lead her." After that, she asked, "What's your name?"
Lan Qi didn't understand what was going on. She just heard the Empress Dowager ask and hurriedly replied: "My servant Wu Yalan Qi."
