Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0148 Losing the county lord and feeling the moonlight is cold, the emperor is frightened and the world knows

When the Qingshun county lord was adopted, the Jin family was highly regarded, so she was the county lord's respect as soon as she landed, and she was more noble than ordinary noble girls.This is her pride.The emperor knew people's hearts well, and he knew that removing the title of county magistrate would be a thousand times more humiliating than punishing her.What is the meaning of small punishments and big commandments? Whenever the emperor makes a move, he asks for punishment.

How could Daiyu understand what he meant, but when doing things, you can't just focus on the present, you also have to think about the future.Now that I have vented my anger, will I have to pay another noble girl to make others go to a foreign country for marriage?

She turned back and pulled his sleeve calmly: "Your Majesty, this is not a big deal..."

The king of Nan'an County lost the battle, and he won it all thanks to King He Rui.Sending the Lord Qingshun out to get married was meant to be a punishment.Now that it's done like this, isn't it just in line with the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion?

"The empress is just too gentle and docile, which makes them pass you one by one, causing turmoil." The emperor took her hand and pulled her to sit beside him.

The county magistrate of Qingshun first told the emperor to be dumbfounded by saying a word, but at this moment, he could not help but tremble in his heart and lungs when he met the eyes of everyone who were relieved or sighed.Earlier in Chunyuxuan the emperor wanted to punish her, but the queen stopped her.This time, there was no punishment at all, and the title of county head was directly removed.Although there is no need to suffer from flesh and blood, but what is the difference between doing so and killing her?It's better to hit her head to death than lose her title, at least she will still be the county lord after she dies!

Once a person is frightened to the extreme, he can't help but tremble all over.County Lord Qingshun has studied with the mothers in the palace since she was a child, and she pays attention to the fact that Mount Tai collapses in front of her eyes without changing her face, and she must remember the rules and demeanor at all times.Up to this moment, she still wanted to maintain her superficial composure, but her hands and feet were no longer in control.She knew better than anyone else that the emperor was not joking.If he doesn't change his words, it will become a fact immediately!

"Your Majesty!" At the critical moment, the instinct of self-help will be stimulated.She got up and took a few steps, staggered and knelt in front of Daiyu, reaching out to grab the corner of her skirt.Lan Ling could see it clearly, he quickly bent down and restrained her with sharp eyes and hands.

"Girl, what do you want to do?" Since the emperor opened his mouth, the subordinates had to follow the instructions.Lanling's reaction was quick, and she no longer respected her as the county head.

"I..." County Lord Qingshun told her to be startled, she silently withdrew her hand with tears in her eyes, and called out bitterly on the ground, "Empress Empress..."

She knew that she should let go of all her arrogance and arrogance, she should beg the queen to intercede for her, she should admit her mistake, and follow the queen's wishes to apologize to Miss Sun Wu.The empress is soft-hearted, she was the one who persuaded the emperor last time.If she is willing to help this time, the emperor will definitely not embarrass himself again.

She knew it was right to do so, the momentary humiliation was nothing, the important thing was the future.

But when the words came to her lips, she met the empress' eyes shining like glazed glass under the lamp, and suddenly she couldn't say a word.She didn't want to, at least she didn't want to bow her head again in front of Lin Daiyu.

The emperor was unwilling to let go, and Daiyu understood that he had his own ideas.She and the emperor were of one heart, even if the head of Qingshun County begged her tearfully, she could not disobey the emperor for such a person.

"County..." It was only after she said it that she remembered that she could no longer be called the county lord.Daiyu thought for a moment before she remembered that her surname was Jin.Daiyu said: "Miss Jin, the emperor's golden words will not change what has been decided."

The county lord of Qingshun is now Jin Shunhua.Hearing Daiyu's words, she knew that this time Daiyu would not try to persuade her again.She felt helpless and wronged.The emperor has no hope, she can only pin her last hope on the empress dowager.

Walking on his knees in front of the Empress Dowager, Jin Shunhua kowtowed heavily, facing the Empress Dowager, he kowtowed willingly.She huddled and shed tears. The person who had always been aloof, now cried like water washed her face.

Jin Shunhua cried and begged: "Ancestor, I know I was wrong. I will apologize to Miss Sun Wu and ask her to forgive me. Ancestor, please help me to intercede with the emperor. You can punish me in any way, as long as my county The lord took it off. This is what our old county king earned for me, even if you don't look at the concubine's face, look at the old county king, please forgive me for a while."

The Empress Dowager was also in a difficult situation.In terms of affection, when I first entered the palace, Nan'an County Palace helped a lot.So after the old concubine left, she and Concubine Nan'an were still very close.In terms of other things, the illustrious military exploits of the Nanyang County Prince's Mansion that day were not fake, otherwise Jin Shunhua would not have landed and would have been the county lord.

But this Jin Shunhua is really not smart enough, since she entered the garden, she has caused many disturbances.It doesn't matter if you make a fuss, even if you humiliate Miss Sun Wu, it's a trivial matter.Small friction at the beginning of a girl's family is common, and the emperor would not be annoyed by such things.What really pissed him off was something else...

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You child, just get up first."

How could Jin Shunhua be willing to get up, she was kneeling now and felt like a light on her back, not only the servants around the queen, but even the eunuchs in front of the imperial court, with their gazes, they wanted to eat her alive.

With tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Old Ancestor, please..."

Stupid people can't teach it, even if they are taught by their opponents, the things they do are really vulgar.

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to plead for her in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would not send her to a foreign country, which was considered to be the full support of the Nan'an County Palace back then.But now that she looked like this, she didn't have to make such an effort.She shook her head, feeling helpless in her heart, and at the same time, vaguely disappointed.

"Since you want to kneel, that's up to you." The Empress Dowager bent down slightly, reaching out her hand as if to touch her face, but in the end it fell on her hair, and only straightened the peacock on her temples Hold the pearl and shake it step by step. "Has anyone ever told you that you actually look like your grandmother?"

Jin Shunhua didn't expect the empress dowager to say something irrelevant, his eyes showed surprise, but seeing the other party's serious expression, he hesitated and nodded: "My family said that I was born very similar to my grandmother, but our concubine In the first two years with me, the old concubine went west of Hexi, and I never met her."

"The looks are similar, but the temperament is very different."

The empress dowager's words were full of regret and loss, Daiyu could not help but feel worried, fearing that she would really hurt her heart and lose her body because of it.She was about to speak when someone pressed her hand on the table.Sensing the strength and temperature on her wrist, Daiyu looked over suspiciously.But seeing the emperor's face sinking like water, he shook his head gently at her.Daiyu understood what he meant, so she just sat down and continued to watch quietly.

I only heard the Empress Dowager say: "It is said that people are born in sorrow and die in peace[1]. If a large family wants to continue for thousands of years, it is not enough to just support the scenery on the surface. Looking at it now Come on, it's not just your brother, even you don't want to understand. Shunhua, even now, you don't understand what is wrong with you. "

What's wrong?

Besides bickering with Miss Sun Wu, what else did she do wrong?Could it be that she had to be punished so much just because she pushed the maid next to the queen?

Jin Shunhua really couldn't figure it out, but the matter had come to this point, even the Empress Dowager felt that she had done something wrong, so she had to admit her mistake no matter how wronged she was.

"I know I was wrong." Jin Shunhua lowered his head, feeling shame and desire, choked with sobs: "I shouldn't be angry at the maid in front of the empress. s face."

She finally came to her senses, is it because of this that the queen refused to intercede for her?

Thinking of this, she felt more and more wronged: "But she is just a slave, she is just out of reason..."

It's like a rotten tree. She has already been instructed to this point, yet she still refuses to let her go.So what if the argument is clear?Lost face is lost, do you still expect the emperor to open his mouth to retract his words and make it up for her?To put it bluntly, what is she, worth it?

The Empress Dowager suddenly felt a headache, and leaned back on the chair wearily: "Shunhua, if you continue like this, even the old dowager will not be able to teach you in the next life."

Tong Yi stepped forward and reached out to help Jin Shunhua up.She was already stunned, and seeing everyone was like a life-saving straw.Tong Yi was the first person to stand up and help her. She held the other's arm tightly, like a drowning person catching driftwood.

"Auntie, what did I say wrong? Isn't she a slave?"

"Girl, I heard that you were taught by a nanny in the palace when you were young. Why don't you even understand the rules?" Tong Yi's movements and demeanor are very kind, with a gentle smile on her face, which can be said Every word and every sentence that comes out is like a soft knife, killing people without blood. "The maids in our inner court are different from the slaves outside. They are all good families selected by decent families. Look up and look carefully. There are not a few family members even if they are officials in the court. Court ladies are decent, and they can be beaten or not. Scolding. If the master wants to punish them, he has to weigh it. It has nothing to do with who the master served before. Why can't the girl understand that this is in the garden, and you have to follow the rules of the inner court. The emperor picked the county The title of the lord is also for the sake of the girl, as a county lord, you must know how to be decent, and if things go on like this, it is said that it is a trivial matter to discredit the Nan'an County prince's mansion, and you don't have to make people laugh at it, girl, don't you think so?"

The smile on Tong Yi's face is always harmonious and warm, and Jin Shunhua is not allowed to refute, so she dragged her to kneel down in front of the emperor and kowtowed: "This is the emperor who took the trouble to teach you, the steps are all built, girl, kowtow to thank you..."

How could Jin Shunhua be willing to thank him for this, and struggled to get up.Tong Yi's hand strengthened, he forced her to kowtow, and said with a smile: "Young lady is already so obedient?"

She pressed Jin Shunhua's shoulder with one hand, pressed her head to the ground with the other, and turned to talk to the little eunuch: "Miss Jin is tired, help her go back to the house and have a rest."

There is still a needle to watch the movie later, Jin Shunhua is doomed to miss.

Tong Yi is the most pleasing person in front of the Empress Dowager, her words are no different from the empress dowager's oral instructions.The masters were all noncommittal, and the subordinates also recalled it.Two little eunuchs stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and detained Jin Shunhua, wanting to send her back to Tongle Yuan.

"You dare!"

"Hush." ​​Jin Shunhua didn't expect them to dare to talk to themselves like this, and opened their mouths to reprimand, but asked Tong Yi to put a finger on his lips to stop them.

"Miss Jin, you can't just think about yourself when you live in this world. You also have to think about Nan'an Concubine and Nan'an County King, don't you? If you really shout out in front of your ancestors, the emperor, and the queen, you are justified It also became unreasonable, not to mention that it was your fault. Just let it go when you see it, why make it out of control?"

Following her words, Jin Shunhua thought of Concubine Nan'an, and the king of Nan'an County who had just lost the battle, and the resentment in his eyes suddenly softened.She felt that she was in such a mess now, those noble girls who had to look up at her in the past were probably laughing at her in their hearts right now?She tried her best to raise her chin, trying to squeeze out a decent smile, but she couldn't do it anyway, instead her eyes were sour, and she was scrambling to shed tears.

"Let go!" Jin Shunhua pushed the two little eunuchs away, holding on to his arrogance: "I will go by myself."

This Qixi Festival is really cold. Jin Shunhua walked on the road and looked up at the bright and bright moonlight in the sky.The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the moonlight was as cold as frost, covering the whole world in silver.

She knew the saying about dealing with people in the inner court.She should be ill when she goes back today, and then she will ask Nan'an County Prince's Mansion to send someone to pick her up and recuperate. When she will recover, it will all depend on how the master feels.Only when she is happy can she be well.If she is not happy, she will have to stay in the Xiulou for the rest of her life.

Yeah.

Jin Shunhua sniffed, suddenly felt that this was also a good thing.At least you don't have to marry into a wild land.

As the head of the county, Jin Shunhua had to end up like this, and the noble ladies present were all in a cold sweat.Seeing the emperor, the thoughts born of his youth and handsomeness were suppressed a lot.The Empress Dowager treats Jin Shunhua first, so many noble women, only she dares to act like a baby to the Empress Dowager.But what about now?Not only did he lose his position as county head, but he also had to suffer a serious illness after returning home.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?" The Empress Dowager couldn't see the scene being so deserted, she smiled and pointed to the moon in the sky above her head, as if nothing had happened: "If you don't match needles, the moonlight will fade away. "

She was afraid that everyone would be startled and dare not move, so she called Daiyu first: "The queen has also sunned herself in the water, let's throw a needle first?"

Daiyu pretended to refuse, and said with a snort, "The old ancestor was just waiting to make fun of me, and I don't agree." Although she was sunburned, she never thought of taking it out to play in public.Just now the emperor said that he would go on a boat, so she thought about it, wouldn't it be more fun to throw needles and watch movies on the boat?

She beckoned to Tanchun and motioned her to go: "Third sister, you and fourth sister let me see. Also tell the ancestors not to keep staring at me."

"I'm the worst at this." Xichun pushed Tanchun to be the vanguard: "Third sister is handy, let her try first."

The Empress Dowager deliberately covered up the trouble just now, and asked curiously: "How clever is your third sister's hand?"

Xichun was young, so it was inevitable that she would be a little timid when entering the garden.But now the empress dowager asked her kindly, and Daiyu smiled and pushed her forward to answer, so she said vigorously: "Third sister is the best in needlework, not only for their wives, but also for old ladies. Seeing her needlework, I occasionally make small objects for my brothers and sisters. I can’t sit still, so I don’t have the heart to do these. I can’t tell the good or bad about the embroidery work of the third sister, but I think it’s very bright and delicate.”

"Manual dexterity is secondary, and it's rare for her to be so filial." The Empress Dowager was really interested this time, and asked someone to help her up, and she was about to go to the courtyard to watch the match needles: "I'm tired of sitting too, and I just happened to get up to take a rest." San. The emperor, the empress, let's go and have a look together?"

So the emperor and Daiyu divided into two sides, one on the left and the other on the right, helping her to go out.

There are stone tables and benches in the courtyard, where they were just now competing with each other.All the needles and threads that have just been used have been taken away, and the little eunuchs are very colorful, and at this moment all the water has been brought up.Bowl after bowl resting on a red lacquered bench looks spectacular.

In the palace, some people uniformly dry their skins with water, but no respectable court ladies can use this kind of water. They would rather call two young eunuchs to help dry them, so that the ones that come out are what they want.The noble ladies obviously used their own water, and the bowls were different, with red stickers on them.The girl's boudoir name is not passed on, so most of the bowls are surnamed. In order to avoid people with duplicate surnames, an extra ranking is placed below.

The Empress Dowager searched carefully, but did not find Daiyu's water bowl: "You have been in the sun for two days, where is the bowl of water skin?"

Daiyu deliberately pouted at the emperor and complained: "You ask the emperor, I have already sunburned, and he insists on saying that I have lost my reputation. Old ancestor, you have to make the decision for me."

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a joke, but when the Empress Dowager saw the emperor's helpless but irrefutable expression, it was quite funny.

She said: "The emperor almost spread his hands to hold you on top. If you still arrange him like this, he should be hit." As she said, she really made a fist and pretended to hit Daiyu.Daiyu hid with a smile, the emperor hurriedly protected her behind her, and even took a few blows of the empress dowager's fists that were as light as wind.

The Empress Dowager shook her head again and again: "Emperor, I am venting my anger for you, but you still protect her?"

The emperor looked back at Daiyu, and smiled helplessly: "I'm venting my anger now, what can I do later? The old ancestor and her are of the same mind, and now they are just trying to coax me."

All the ladies looked at me and I looked at you, and were speechless for a moment.When I saw the emperor for the first time, I thought he was the Son of Heaven in the Nine Heavens, unattainable and majestic.Seeing him punishing Jin Shunhua, he took off the opponent's title lightly, showing his iron fist quietly.

They all thought that the emperor was a person who was high-minded and indifferent, always dignified, intimidating, and exuding imperial prestige all the time.Who would have thought that he was like this in front of the empress dowager and the empress.He would also sing the oboe with the queen, and make the empress dowager happy together.He respects etiquette and follows the rules like that, but once he meets the queen, he doesn't seem to care about anything.Even the empress dowager knew that the emperor wished he could hold the empress in his palm, this preference was really bare|naked|blatant.

Sun Shuqing quietly took two steps to the side, and whispered to Ruan Qingtian: "Why do I feel that the emperor is a little afraid of internal affairs?"
