Yu Lizhu opened her mouth and wanted to stop the person, but in the end she could only cry silently. Until now, she has not found out where she went wrong. It was clearly Concubine Ning who bullied others. Why did her aunt punish her?
Is it really like Concubine Ning said that her aunt framed her?
Concubine Ning said she could not be punished, so why didn’t her aunt let her go? Tears fell one after another. For so many years, Yu Lizhu had always believed that her aunt was the best for her, so what if she was her own sister? The eldest lady and
My sister pursued her aunt's favor wholeheartedly, but in the end, her aunt liked her.
But now, all these years of faith have collapsed.
The queen was sitting on a high seat in the main hall. Although her expression was still dignified and decent, no one felt that she was in a good mood at the moment.
Sitting opposite her was Concubine Ning. Compared to the gloomy queen, Concubine Ning's appearance looked pretty good. She even smiled when she saw Feng Lanxiu coming in.
Feng Lanxiu calmly went up to salute these two people.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." The queen said solemnly.
Concubine Ning gently pressed her handkerchief on her face, raised her eyes to look at Feng Lanxiu, and spoke first: "I invite Prince Duan here today because I want to ask him if he has any objections to me? Why bother with the jade side?"
The concubine sent me those...cakes, which brought back my old wounds. The emperor felt sorry for my sadness. He was originally going to punish the concubine Jade severely, but I wanted to ask the matter clearly."
It is extremely disrespectful to snatch words in front of the Queen.
The queen's face became more and more condensed.
Feng Lanxiu's expression changed greatly, "Concubine Ning, where do you start with these words? Concubine Jade came into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen."
"I don't know why Concubine Jade would give me a reward from the Queen.
And it's such a coincidence...the gift is something taboo." The smile on Concubine Ning's face faded, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly. Thinking of these pastries, she felt filled with hatred.
"Concubine Ning, I have just said that this matter was an accident. I heard that Concubine Ning has not used it well these days, so I randomly ordered some pastries and had them delivered. Concubine Yu happened to be fine.
I was willing to take such a trip, but I didn't expect that I would have a dispute with Concubine Ning. Since she was wrong in this matter, I will punish her."
The queen said calmly, she did not expect that Concubine Ning did not ask the emperor to punish Yu Lizhu directly, but instead brought Yu Lizhu over to ask for an explanation from her.
Thinking of the people around the emperor coming to give orders, the queen had to suppress her anger. At this time, the emperor was still protecting Concubine Ning like this.
With Concubine Ning here, she had no choice but to announce that Prince Duan was coming to see her.
"The cause of this matter lies in these pastries. Concubine Jade is at fault, but the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. I would like to ask the Queen to check it out. Why on earth did she send these pastries?" Ning
The focus of the concubine is not on the dispute with Yu Lizhu, so she said this casually.
"Every one of the four pastries was successful. I reported it to the emperor specifically back then, and the emperor also knew about these four pastries." Concubine Ning continued.
The words are aggressive.
"Concubine Ning, what do you mean?" The queen's face was as gloomy as water.
"Nothing else, I just think of some old things." Concubine Ning slowly lowered her eyes, her eyes slightly red, "For so many years... this matter has always been in my heart."
Concubine Ning has always been favored and arrogant in the eyes of everyone in the harem. Even Feng Lanxiu only saw Concubine Ning's arrogance, but he had never seen Concubine Ning so sad.
My heart couldn't help but move.
One queen and one concubine, one question and one answer, he is actually not needed here!
"Concubine Ning, are you blaming me?" the queen asked suddenly.
"I don't dare! I just remembered some old things with the emperor... I would like to ask the Queen to find out who suggested to the Queen to send these cakes to me? And who asked Concubine Jade to come over?
As a gift?" Concubine Ning gently pressed the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief and said.
"It has been checked, and the palace maid who suggested sending cakes has been punished with a cane." The queen said coldly.
The so-called punishment with the rod actually means death with the rod.
In fact, she is not just a little maid, but also a steward maid around the queen. If she were just an ordinary maid, she would not be able to get in front of the queen, let alone make suggestions to the queen.
Thinking that this maid in charge was still her confidant, but now she had to press her head and admit it, the queen felt burning in her heart. In fact, what happened back then had already passed, and she didn't even say anything later. She only knew that after Concubine Ning
I didn’t use those pastries again.
Because there was no movement, the queen thought that the matter was over. So what if Concubine Ning was suspicious, but there was no evidence. Concubine Ning dared to speak in front of the emperor about something without evidence? After she said it, there was no movement at all?
Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning, a bitch, actually said it. Not only did she say it, but she also said slanderous words about herself in front of the emperor, and she also planted seeds of doubt in the emperor.
This bitch is so patient!
If she had known that the emperor had doubted herself and these pastries, the queen would never have thought of such a trick, and even risked the life of a confidant. Now, Concubine Ning even proposed to invite Prince Duan over.
"Thank you, Queen Empress
." Concubine Ning had hatred in her eyes, but it didn't show on her face. She stood up and bowed to the queen, then looked at Prince Duan and smiled bitterly, "I also ask Concubine Duan to ask Concubine Yu carefully in the future, why.
So, what benefit does she gain?"
After speaking, she fell back, and a nun happened to support her.
"Queen, I am not feeling well. Please leave first." Concubine Ning put her hand on her forehead and leaned against her mother.
She suddenly stopped pursuing the matter and let the Queen decide the matter.
The queen was stunned, and before she could react, Concubine Ning had already held her mother's hand and turned to leave.
This attitude is completely different from the previous attitude.
He ruthlessly defeated the Queen's army.
The queen's hand pinched the corner of the veil tightly, then let go, and then squeezed it into a ball. Finally, her eyes fell on Concubine Ning's figure, with almost uncontrollable resentment.
If it weren't for Concubine Ning, what about her child? She would definitely give birth to an heir, and he would definitely be the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty. All this was because of Concubine Ning, a bitch.
Thinking of this makes my heart twist like a knife, and I wish I could cut Concubine Ning into pieces with a thousand knives...
The expression on his face at this moment is almost uncontrollable.
"Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Jade was an accident. In fact, Concubine Jade is really not to blame." A chamberlain reminded the Queen in a low voice. This sounded like advice to the Queen.
The queen finally calmed down, her eyes falling gently on Feng Lanxiu in front of her, just like before.
"What happened to Zhu'er was indeed an accident, but it was the emperor's wish. I couldn't suppress it even if I wanted to. Concubine Ning brought the matter to the emperor, so I could only punish Zhu'er to kneel for two hours.
." The queen sighed and smiled bitterly, "Prince Duan also looks at it.
At this point...this matter is ultimately my responsibility."
"The Empress...what happened to Concubine Jade?" Feng Lanxiu lowered his head and said respectfully.
The queen clicked her fingers slightly, and a chamberlain came out and reported what happened to Feng Lanxiu.
The pastries were made in the imperial dining room. After hearing that Concubine Ning had not thought about food and tea these past few days, the Queen sent someone to select some pastries and give them to Concubine Ning.
This matter was done by someone around her. The queen didn't even look at it, so she just asked someone to send it over. Yu Lizhu happened to have nothing to do, so she snatched the job. She didn't expect that when she went to Concubine Ning, she would cause such a big thing.
, the queen now has no choice but to deal with Jade Pearl...
The chamberlain explained clearly the cause and effect of the matter, and then retreated.
Feng Lanxiu lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Queen, for taking care of me. Concubine Jade is usually a bit out-of-touch, but if she really has any bad intentions, I don't think so."
This is the meaning of defending Yu Lizhu.
The Queen's eyebrows slightly expanded, "I feel the same way. I have raised Pearl by my side since she was a child, and I watched her grow up. How could I not know her character? Today she came to the palace to visit her.
I didn’t expect to involve her, but it was my negligence.”
The queen blamed herself endlessly.
"The Queen has been very protective of the Concubine Jade."
"It's all my fault. After she knelt for two hours, I sent her out of the palace. During this period of time... please Prince Duan comfort Zhu'er more... This child is like my second daughter.
." The queen lowered her head, obviously feeling sad.
What she said made people feel her sincerity towards Yu Lizhu.
Even Yu Liyue, the queen has never said such words. It can be seen that
I am really interested in Jade Pearl.
Yu Lizhu married Feng Lanxiu, and her love for Yu Lizhu means her love for Feng Lanxiu. If she wants Yu Lizhu to live a good life in the future, she must value Feng Lanxiu.
The meaning of the queen's words was not just that she treated Yu Lizhu as her daughter.
Feng Lanxiu suddenly stood up and knelt down respectfully to pay homage: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely treat Concubine Yu well. Concubine Yu is kind-hearted. This accident... is also my fault. Originally, I entered Concubine Jade.
The palace should have been accompanied by my son, but the Ministry of Punishment is investigating the matter recently, and I have no time to deal with the official affairs of the Ministry of Punishment."
This is to force Yu Lizhu's fault onto herself.
"Prince Duan, you're welcome. This matter is indeed my fault and Zhu'er's fault. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future." The queen assured her gently.
While letting someone help Feng Lanxiu up, his expression became gentler and gentler!
In the Chun'an Palace of the Queen Mother.
Feng Yu presented a small jade screen, and Feng Jingze presented a beautiful jade carving. The two pieces looked like a set, and they should have been bought when the two of them traveled together.
Jade is good jade, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it is just average. However, the grandson's intentions are good. When he was able to go out for a walk, he remembered what he said before and specially picked a jade screen for himself and sent it over, which shows his good intentions.
When the Queen Mother is happy, she will reward you.
"what do you want?"
"Royal grandmother, anything you want is fine?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"The Ai family must be talented." The Queen Mother laughed.
"Grandmother, please give your grandson a jade belt." Feng Yu pointed at his belt, which he had tied casually when he went out. It looked like it didn't match the clothes he was wearing.
"
Okay, then I will reward you with a jade belt." The Queen Mother smiled and asked her personal attendant to fetch some belts made of gold and jade, and then asked Feng Jingze, "What does the Crown Prince of Zhongshan want?"
Feng Jingze said hurriedly: "Everything given by the Queen Mother is a blessing to ministers."
"Then I'll also give you a jade belt." The Queen Mother was in a good mood. She looked at them both and decided that they would be equally rewarded.
The two of them thanked each other together.
The chamberlain came back very quickly, and after a while he came with eight maids. Each of the maids held a box inlaid with gold and jade in their hands.
