Chapter 990 It's Too Painful
Seeing that she really couldn't hide, after contemplating for a while, Concubine Wen finally got up, knelt down in the middle, and admitted: "Empress Empress, this is indeed my concubine's fault, but this concubine has no other intentions, but envy you for getting His Majesty loves her and has excellent taste, so he took a wrong step."
Anyway, since things have come to this point, she might as well just admit it.
If I went to the emperor, I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing.
Whenever she thinks of those cold and alienated eyes, she is afraid.
It's better to turn big things into small ones, and make small things into nothing.
"Save these words and go to the Taimiao and tell your ancestors." Ruoyin said lightly.
Hearing this, Concubine Wen raised her head and said in disbelief, "What does the empress mean?"
Ruoyin didn't answer Concubine Wen's words, but ordered in a deep voice: "Concubine Wen, as a concubine, commits the following crimes, spying on the daily life and privacy of my palace. Thinking that this is the first time, she will be punished lightly. Confine her in the Taimiao, and take care of her." Reflect on your mistakes, copy twenty volumes of scriptures, and return to Zhongcui Palace after three months."
As for the general confinement, it is divided into confinement in the bedroom, or confinement in designated places.
The time limit is set according to the size of the mistake.
Before the time of the confinement, it is impossible to contact the outside world without authorization.
Others can't take the initiative to contact.
This kind of right can only be exercised by the emperor, queen, concubine and above.
But it cannot exceed the three-month period.
Because, after three months, that is another punishment system.
And Natai Temple is the royal family temple where the Qing royal family worshiped their ancestors.
Not far from the Forbidden City, just in front of the Forbidden City on the left.
Things like Wen Bin are not trivial to say the least.
It's not a big deal to say big.
It's just a trick for the harem to fight for favor, and it's not going to kill Concubine Wen, which is against the rules.
If the harem commits any crimes, she will kill her.
Others will say that she is a cruel queen, and the officials will tell her the story before.
But Concubine Wen really made a mistake. As a queen, she still has the right to punish her.
Wen Bin imitated her just to win favor.
Thinking about asking her to stay in the Taimiao for three months, not seeing Er Gege, and not being able to compete for favor, was the saddest thing for Concubine Wen.
"Three months..." Wen Bin muttered to himself.
Heh, it is said that he will be punished lightly, but this is clearly a serious punishment.
She originally wanted to conceive her first son after ascending the throne.
But this time, it has been delayed for three months. Isn't she about to fall behind?
Even, others were pregnant, and she was still copying scriptures in the Taimiao.
Moreover, the emperor seldom went to her Zhongcui Palace.
In this way, she will be quickly forgotten.
In addition, she went to the Taimiao, so Er Gege had to be in the Forbidden City.
This is simply too painful for her!
But no matter how unwilling she was, the servants of Yongshou Palace still took her down.
After Concubine Wen was taken away, Nanny Liu looked at Qiaolan and the palace maid in the room, and asked, "Your Majesty, what about these two servants?"
"There's no need to keep this traitorous slave, just drag it out and stick it to death." Ruoyin said.
If this is placed in the Qian Mansion, she may think that the slave will not die.
But now it's different.
In the Forbidden City, she is the queen.
If the slave is unfaithful, he will be dismissed casually.
This will make the servants of Yongshou Palace feel that there is no price to pay for betrayal.
Then, if others give some money, the servant will be tempted.
This time it was Qiaolan's betrayal, and nothing major happened.
But if she becomes pregnant, who knows what wicked things those slaves will do after being bribed.
Therefore, it is necessary to show off your power, so as to warn others.
Or let the servants of Yongshou Palace see what the fate of betraying her is.
When facing the temptation of money in the future, you will weigh it.
Similarly, what the harem is most afraid of is not being able to sleep and being forgotten.
She sent Concubine Wen to the Taimiao to copy scriptures, which was also regarded as a warning to the concubines in the harem.
At this moment, the concubines in the harem saw that Ruoyin not only punished Concubine Wen, but also punished Qiaolan.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not as much gossip as usual.
Ruoyin's gaze lightly swept across the faces in the harem.
With a distant smile on his face, he said: "Okay, this kind of thing happened in the yard, let you see it as a joke. I still have some things to deal with, so you can retreat."
"Yes." The harem concubines saluted and left with the servants.
After everyone left, Ruoyin said to Banmei: "Since Qiaolan is gone, you will take her place from now on, with Qiaofeng."
"Yes." Banmei replied.
After talking so much, Ruoyin's mouth was a little dry, so he lowered his head and drank a large cup of tea.
Then, her gaze swept around the hall, and finally landed on Qiaofeng.
"Qiaofeng, come here." She said lightly.
"Oh." Qiaofeng just saw Qiaolan being dragged out, and at this moment he still didn't feel relieved.
Ruoyin raised his hand, took a red gold agate inlaid tassel hairpin from his head, and handed it to Qiaofeng.
In the past, she didn't like golden jewelry.
But now as a queen, on some occasions, golden jewelry must be worn as an embellishment.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Qiao Feng stepped back.
"Take it if you tell me to. In the future, when you work with Banmei, I will instruct the warehouse to give you an extra 30% of the monthly payment." Ruoyin put the hairpin directly into Qiaofeng's hands.
She is a reward and punishment.
Qiaolan did something wrong, and when she was arrested, she still didn't admit her mistake, so naturally she should be responsible for those actions.
It happened that the wind was not wrong.
But after she knew that Wen Bin had bought her personal servants, she only guessed that it was Qiaofeng.
Although this matter was only a guess in her heart, she did not tell anyone about it.
But in her heart, she didn't feel very well, she always felt that Qiaofeng was treated badly.
It was she who thought too badly of this outspoken slave who had been serving the original owner since her natal family.
Therefore, she wanted to compensate Qiaofeng.
Qiaofeng glanced at the hairpin in his hand, but there was no more ink on it, but he knelt down and said, "Thank you for your reward, my servant and Banmei will definitely serve you well."
For a moment, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled without speaking.
At the same time, Concubine Qi, who had returned to Changchun Palace, was holding the slave's hand, standing at the door and smiling at Wu Changzai who was walking all the way back.
Only concubines and above can ride chariots and ceremonial chariots.
The higher the level, the more people are carrying the chariot, and the specifications and accessories are also different.
As a little Changzai, Wu Changzai naturally had to walk on his legs in the Forbidden City.
When she walked to the gate of Changchun Palace and saw Concubine Qi who was sitting on the chariot looking at her, her steps paused slightly.
Looking at the other party's appearance, I'm afraid they are waiting here intentionally.
And there was a hint of calculation in those uncommon eyes, looking at her with a smile.
At first glance, it looked like she was full of bad water and wanted to do bad things with her.
