Chapter 1174 Disgusting Fourth Master

Originally, she regarded the queen as her strongest competitor.

But when the queen went to the Taimiao, she suddenly lost her target.

The imperial concubine is also a sick child, and she is not very favored. Of course, life is boring.

But now, that's not what she cares about.

It was the day of the Queen Mother's Longevity Day, and she thought she could take the opportunity to trip the Queen.

So, she mustered up the courage to step on the Queen's foot.

Who knew that the emperor insisted on protecting the queen, instead of abolishing the queen, he was only confined in the Taimiao.

No, it's only been two months, and the queen has been brought back again. Can she be prevented from worrying about the queen's revenge on her?

"Really?" Ruoyin raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Xi, "I remember clearly that on the Empress Dowager's Longevity Day, you said you saw Qiaofeng pushing the imperial concubine with your own eyes, but now you changed your words very quickly?"

"Hey..." Concubine Xi smiled coyly, and said: "The concubine is just seeking truth from facts, besides, on that day, not only the concubine, but also many guests saw it, and the imperial concubine was very pitiful at that time." Yes, the concubine really can't bear it."

"Oh..." Ruoyin nodded suddenly, and said, "So that's how it is."

Concubine Xi: "..."

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin looked at Concubine Xi, and said calmly: "By the way, I heard that you have been instigating elder brother recently, saying that he is the future heir, but is there such a thing?"

"No, no." Concubine Xi replied with a guilty conscience.

"Are you sure?" Ruoyin looked straight at Concubine Xi and asked again.

This time, Concubine Xi was silent for a while, and finally replied truthfully: "Empress, my concubine met Eldest Brother by chance at that time, so I just said that casually, if you didn't mention it, my concubine almost forgot."

Hearing this, Ruoyin snorted coldly, and said, "I almost forgot, you know that the emperor secretly established a crown prince, but you are here to instigate elder brother, what is your intention?

Yesterday, when fourth master said that he would come to pick her up today, she had almost inquired about the recent details of the harem.

After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.

Since she was going back to the harem, she naturally had to work hard.

Concubine Xi's attempt to sow dissension is nothing more than wanting the elder brother to make enemies among the princes.

In addition, I hope that the elder brother will be arrogant and make the fourth master feel disgusted.

In this way, the third elder brother of Concubine Xi's family will be fine.

Fortunately, Hong Yi is a steady person.

Even if she wasn't in the harem, she didn't teach him, and he didn't gossip around.

Otherwise, if he falls into the trap of Concubine Xi, he will designate what troubles will be caused.

"The concubine could have other intentions, but she felt that the elder brother was the eldest son, so she casually encouraged him." Concubine Xi argued.

"You're still arguing!" Ruoyin patted the armrest, and said seriously, "It's the emperor's intention to establish a crown prince in secret. As a concubine, it's okay to be restless and self-absorbed. If you open your mouth about things you don't understand, it's obviously disrespectful." The emperor's holy will!"

"Empress, my concubine doesn't mean that." Concubine Xi got up and walked to the middle, and hurriedly knelt down.

Ruoyin narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine Xi, "I don't care what you mean, but if your behavior has broken the rules, I will punish you for twenty slaps. In addition, I will punish you for copying the internal training a hundred times. In the harem, be cautious in your words and deeds!"

Although she was dissatisfied because Concubine Xi testified on the Wanshou Festival.

But what happened that day was indeed that Qiaofeng pushed the imperial concubine.

Not only Concubine Xi, but many other guests also saw it.

Therefore, she naturally couldn't get angry about this matter.

It can only be borrowed from other things.

Concubine Xi was startled, and said: "Empress, the concubine already knew her mistake and was willing to copy the women's training, but the concubine is the head of the first palace after all, even if you are a concubine, you can't control the concubine's mouth!"

The reason why she was so excited was that in the Forbidden City, eunuchs could slap their mouths, but court ladies and concubines were all "beating people but not face".

On weekdays, even if any court lady annoys the masters, or is unlucky enough to bump into the muzzle of a gun.

Even if they are dragged out and beaten violently, or given to death, they will not be slapped in the face.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of death, and trees are afraid of peeling.

No matter who it is, being slapped in the face is the most humiliating thing.

This rule was passed down from the ancestors and has been passed down in the Forbidden City for several generations.

Because the objects served by the maids are the emperor and concubines.

They were slapped in the face, and the face of the masters was disgraceful, it was an indirect slap in the face of the masters.

Moreover, court ladies also have the possibility of becoming concubines.

Face is the capital of women.

Especially the women in the Forbidden City, most of the honor and favor in their lives are won on their faces.

As for Concubine Xi, as the master of a concubine, if she is slapped in the face by a slave today, how will she gain a foothold in this harem in the future!

Doesn't this mean that she, the master, is worse than a slave, and even lower?

Ruoyin did this with this in mind.

She shook her head and said without negotiating: "Concubine Xi, I have warned you many times since Qiandi. However, you seem to have ignored my words, so, I think that when a person makes a mistake, just Warnings and punishments are useless. Such innocence will instead make you an old fritter in the harem, and make me waste my words and get angry for nothing. It's better to beat me up, and I have to beat you hard Hit the face you care about the most, so that you can have a long memory."

Seeing Concubine Xi's frightened and pleading face, Ruoyin treated her like a clown.

She continued: "You said that what you did was not good, you have to instigate elder brother, isn't this despising the majesty of the emperor, then, I will discipline you for the emperor, lest outsiders say that this empress is not doing anything! "

"No... empress, you can't treat me like this... I am the emperor's concubine, the third elder brother's mother-in-law. If you do this, you are undoubtedly hitting the emperor and the third elder brother Face..." Concubine Xi knelt down, crying.

She knew why the queen punished her.

It's nothing more than holding grudges about the Longevity Day.

Deliberately teasing some things, putting a shit bowl on her head, so as to punish her.

I didn't expect the queen to be so ruthless this time!

Slapping the mouth is a crueler punishment than torture, it is humiliating her!

"Bengong indulges you, that's why I let you slap the emperor and embarrass the third elder brother!" Ruoyin frowned impatiently, and then directly ordered: "Come on, drag Concubine Xi out and slap her!"

Concubine Xi thought she was slapping her mouth in this palace.

Now I heard that dragged out to slap the mouth, is it to be seen by the public?

No! ! !

However, no matter how much Concubine Xi begged and struggled, she was still dragged outside Yongshou Palace to slap her mouth.

Let those low-level servants who come and go see how Concubine Xi, who used to be aloof, was slapped in the face.

After Concubine Xi was dragged out, Ruoyin asked everyone calmly like a normal person: "By the way, I heard that the imperial concubine was ill, but I didn't see her when I returned to the palace today. Do you know how ill she is?"

"Returning to your empress, when the concubine went to visit the imperial concubine a few days ago, she saw her lying on the bed very weak, her face was waxy and waxy." Concubine Qi flatteringly said.

"Oh? It's so serious. It seems that Bengong should visit her too." Ruoyin pointedly said.

The concubines in the harem understood the meaning of her words, but no one dared to say a word.

Because they feel that the empress seems to have changed.

Therefore, it is best not to provoke this person at this juncture, so as not to end up with Concubine Xi.

After a cup of tea, Ruoyin found a random excuse and sent the harem concubines away.

As for Concubine Xi, under the attention of the servants and concubines, she has already completed the slapping punishment.

At this moment, her right cheek was slightly swollen, with bright red five finger marks on it.

The skin is hot and painful.

But no matter how painful her face was, it couldn't compare to the pain that the shame in her heart brought her.

The pain seemed to reach her heart through the skin, and was deeply imprinted on her heart, leaving an indelible shadow on her.

Let her always remember the shame of today.

She first knelt at the gate of Yongshou Palace and wept silently.

The one who cried was naturally her lofty dignity, which was ruined by the queen just like that.

Really, she was abused by the queen in a small black room a few years ago. She had never cried like this, nor had her heart hurt like this.

When she was tired from crying, she returned to her bedroom like a walking corpse with the support of her servants...

And this scene was taught to Ruoyin by Banmei verbatim.

After Ruoyin found out, he didn't say anything, but couldn't wait to go to the side hall to see fifth elder brother.

After arriving at the door, I saw Liu Momo and Xie Momo squatting beside the fifth elder brother.

As for Fifth Prince, he just stood between the two of them.

The little guy staggered around the room clutching the other hand.

Seeing her coming, Mammy Xie hugged the fifth elder brother and went forward to salute.

"Get up," Ruoyin said casually.

Then, she walked up to Fifth Prince and stretched out her hands towards him, wanting to hug him.

I saw the fifth elder brother blinking his eyes like crystal grapes, staring at her.

The long and curled eyelashes are fluttering, and the eyes are full of childishness.

It's been a long time since Ruoyin thought he was going to admit his birth, the little guy opened his chubby arms and threw himself into her arms.

Ruoyin hugged fifth elder brother in his arms, hugging and kissing again.

The fifth elder brother's eyes were bent into crescent moons.

The pure eyes are also staring at her, which makes people love her.

The fifth prince put one hand in his mouth, and his chubby little mouth was still drooling.

"Your Majesty, Elder Brother is kissing you." Nanny Liu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ruoyin felt warm in his heart.

She hugged fifth elder brother and sat down in the room, and asked about fifth elder brother's recent situation.

But as she asked, the little guy fell asleep in her arms.

Ruoyin took the fifth elder brother and slept together for a while.

In the afternoon, fourth master was still busy.

However, Hongyi and Hongxiu went to Yongshou Palace to greet Ruoyin when they came back from school.

"May the emperor's mother be blessed and safe." The two shrunken fourth masters slapped a thousand in front of Ruoyin.

Ruoyin knew that the two of them would come, so he ordered the dining room to make fresh milk pudding.

Seeing them now, he motioned to Banmei and asked the servants to serve them.
