"The queen mother said that the queen mother is the master of the harem, and the matter of the concubine should be handled by the queen mother."

When Xiao Kiko went back to say goodbye, Yuanzhi was studying with Queen Zhou in Kunning Palace, and he smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is kind and wants to stand up for the queen." ”

Empress Zhou didn't need him to remind her to understand this meaning, she looked at Yuan Zhi with a smile, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"The queen mother said that she would let you deal with it, so she naturally trusted you."

Yuan Zhi had no intention of objecting, "I can also trust you, I have the best harem affairs you can deal with, and you don't need to worry about the harem at the same time." At first, I wasn't sure if you had the ability, but now that you do, I feel free to hand over the harem to you. ”

Empress Zhou lowered her head shyly, smiled slightly, stroked her stomach and said softly, "Thank you for the emperor's trust." If our children grow up in such an environment since childhood, they will be happy and healthy in the future. ”

Motoji was happy to hear this.

But I heard her say slowly: "Since the queen mother and the emperor both trust the concubines, then I have to say it." Concubine Li Xian's matter is very important, and the palace knows it, if it is not punished severely, I am afraid that in the future, the concubines and palace people will follow suit, thinking that it will not cost anything to slander the queen mother, it will not be good. ”

The concubine thought that she should be demoted to a concubine, and by the way, her title was also gone. The queen mother and concubines, as well as the emperor, don't like her title, so it's okay to go, what does the emperor say? ”

It's a great idea, Motoji nodded, "Just do as you say." ”

Empress Zhou muttered: "As for Zhao Guiren, she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she should have been punished. But the queen mother has already said that she doesn't blame Zhao Guiren, we must at least give the queen mother this face, it's better to ...... Just pay two months of silver as a punishment, right? ”

Of all the punishments in the harem, the silver penalty is the lightest thing.

What's more, it's only two months?

Yuan Zhi smiled and couldn't help but say, "Is the queen doing this to give her mother and son, or is it also to save face?" ”

Recently, he has seen Zhao Guiren more often, but Queen Zhou did not take the opportunity to punish Zhao Guiren for closing the palace and thinking about it, but only fined Yueyin.

Empress Zhou was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if Zhao Guiren's money is not enough, I will take a look at some and send some to her, and I won't let her lack food and clothing." ”

……

Concubine Li Xian was deprived of her title and demoted to Concubine Li, which was exactly the same as Concubine Li Xian of the previous imperial dynasty.

Many palace people secretly sighed.

Sigh is embarrassing, but it's a good thing that Concubine Li Xian has no title, her title is really unlucky.

However, Zhao Guiren, who spread rumors, only got a light penalty of two months of silver, and everyone was puzzled at first, but later they learned that it was the queen mother's meaning, and the queen was looking at the queen mother's face.

After all, it was the Queen Mother who really suffered from this matter.

Zhao Guiren thanked him for his kindness, and went to Kunning Palace to thank Queen Zhou, and sent people to the Imperial Garden to thank Su Youyi, and then he should eat, sleep, and not be disturbed by it.

Although she doesn't have a strong net worth, she can still afford to make up for the deficit in two months.

Concubine Li Xian's Changchun Palace was snubbed by this.

She didn't even get a chance to go to Su Youyi in person to plead guilty, she was confined in Changchun Palace, she was so big, and it was the first time she was treated like this.

This made her very embarrassed.

She has a quiet place in Changchun Palace, and it is her family who is really offended, and she keeps writing to the front court to ask for sin, saying that it is the goddaughter who has no way.

There are so many sons and children of official eunuchs in Guoxue, if he has no way to teach his daughters, wouldn't the reserve talents of the entire court be delayed?

Yuanzhi didn't have the heart to deal with him, but he just ordered someone to leave an excerpt and did not approve it.

Somehow, the news spread to the harem.

"The slave maid heard that the lord deliberately asked for guilt in the early dynasty, but the emperor did not say anything soft, and only asked him to pay attention to teaching the students. and said that the affairs of the harem are handled by the queen, and he doesn't have to bother. ”

Yan'er learned from the people in the palace outside, and looked at Concubine Li Xian's face, only to see that her face was getting more and more ugly.

Yan'er didn't dare to say it.

Since Concubine Li Xian was demoted to Concubine Li, she has been in a very bad mood, and she has not even been pleasing to Yan'er, and her attitude is always cold.

Yan'er could feel it, so she didn't dare to bump into it.

Concubine Li Xian really glanced at her coldly, "What else is the news?" I just said it all at once. ”

Yan'er hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "I also heard about ...... said that the lord had no way to ask for the godson, but the emperor did not approve the excerpt. The old man is so anxious that his health is much worse, and he has taken leave to rest at home in the past few days......"

"Smack!"

The teacup was waved to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, and Concubine Li's chest rose and fell in anger.

She has been the pride of her parents since she was a child, how could she have made her parents angry for her?

This news embarrassed her more than the demotion and grounding.

Yan'er was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry." ”

Concubine Li Xian stared at her hatefully, "If it weren't for the fact that you were useless and couldn't stand the punishment of the Prudential Criminal Division, then the Japanese Palace would not be able to admit your guilt obediently." Bengong has treated you well since you were a child, but you can't help Bengong at a critical time, what use do I want from you? ”

Yan'er trembled, and raised her head crying, "Niangniang, you can't blame the slave maid for this." It is true that the slave maid has not been punished since she was a child, but at that time, it was the mother herself who wanted to confess, not the slave and maid who confessed to the mother......"

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, but Concubine Li clearly heard her words, and her eyes widened.

She casually picked up a golden hairpin from the side of the couch, grabbed Yan'er's hand and stabbed it desperately into her palm, "Then the palace will let you be punished today, can you stand it?" Can you stand it? ”

Yan'er desperately dodged, crying and shouting, and after a while, blood was pierced out of her palm, and red blood beads rolled to the ground and splashed on the clothes of the two.

When the palace people outside the hall heard the movement inside, they retreated farther away, and then whispered.

"Niangniang is angry now, let's be careful of errands, it won't end well if we provoke the master. That Yan'er girl has followed her mother since she was a child, and now she is going to be angry. ”

"Can't you see it? Our master looks dignified and magnificent, but in fact, he can't be more strict with his subordinates, are there still fewer palace people in our Changchun Palace? ”

Someone snorted lightly, "That Yan'er has always relied on her mother's power to bully people, and now it's her turn to suffer." What is it called? It's called deserved! ”

This was said more heavily, and for a while no one around dared to answer.

After a while, thinking that Concubine Li Xian had fallen to such a point, someone had the courage to say: "Yes, you deserve it!" ”
