Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her
Chapter 357 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 2
Biling thought her madam was going to let this ungrateful slave go. But she heard her madam ask calmly, "Biling, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Biling was a little nervous, but when she met Concubine Li's eyes, she suddenly felt enlightened.
"According to palace rules, he should be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
Concubine Li looked at her fingers calmly: "Well, then let's follow the palace rules."
Biling smiled and said, "Yes."
Hearing the charges brought against her by the two men, Nan Xiang was unable to defend herself.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, not to mention that she is just a powerless eunuch.
Recalling the scene of entering the palace that year, I was filled with emotion for a moment.
She fled from the south and fled all the way to the capital.
In order to survive, he gritted his teeth and entered the palace.
Originally, I just wanted to be a little palace maid, stay there quietly until I was 25 years old, accumulate money and retire from the palace.
He didn't expect that he would be mistaken for a young eunuch who had just come out of the cleansing room.
Maybe because he was young, he was brought to the Shanggong Bureau in a daze.
At that time, she had thought about confessing her identity as a girl, but the eunuch in charge of the cleansing room died, and a female corpse was suddenly salvaged from a lake not far from his residence.
It was the palace maid who had shown her some kindness a few days ago, but she was gone just like that.
From then on, Nan Xiang knew that the palace was full of rich people and could harm others. If she took a wrong step, she would make many mistakes. So Nan Xiang suppressed the fact that she was a girl and stayed in the Shanggong Bureau as a eunuch.
She has been waiting there for five years. Now she is thirteen years old. She has risen from an unknown eunuch to a ninth-rank eunuch.
Nan Xiang was very satisfied after rising two grades.
Today, the Siyuan Division of the Shangqin Bureau was short-staffed, so it was Xiao Haizi's turn to deliver the first batch of newly opened magnolias to Wan Zhaoyi of Qixia Palace, who was currently in the emperor's favor.
But Xiao Haizi suddenly fell ill, and the Siyuan Division was short-staffed. It happened that the head aunt of the Siyuan Division of the Shangqin Bureau had a good relationship with the deputy chief eunuch of the Shanggong Bureau.
She happened to have completed other tasks, so she was assigned this task.
Unexpectedly, it was already dark, so she followed the other two young eunuchs from the Siyuan Division to see off Yulan.
She was walking in front holding a pot of magnolia, and the other two were holding a lamp and another pot. Somehow, when they passed the bamboo forest in the imperial garden, Nan Xiang looked back and found that the light was dim. She called the names of the two people tentatively, but no one answered. She turned around and saw that there was no one behind her. The two eunuchs had disappeared.
Nan Xiang was a little flustered for a moment, and at this moment, she heard movement in front of her.
The Empress’ procession is coming.
It's getting so late now, and when I passed by the Imperial Garden just now, I didn't see anyone waiting there.
But now that she had met someone, Nan Xiang hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
She knew it was Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was beautiful, cold and aloof, and quite talented. She was a cold beauty and had been favored by the emperor for a long time.
Even Concubine Xu, who had always been favored by the emperor, had to temporarily stay out of the spotlight.
But some time ago, Concubine Li seemed to have made a small mistake and was confined to her house, while Concubine Wan stood out and became the new "favored concubine". In just three months, she jumped from a small noble to the head of the nine concubines, and was given the title "Wan", which naturally aroused envy and jealousy in the palace.
Wan Zhaoyi often interacted with Concubine Xu. She was elected into the palace three years ago. She was not favored by the emperor, but was a noble lady when she was first appointed.
Everyone thought that Concubine Wan was ignored by the emperor and did not enjoy his favor. However, they did not expect that just because of Li Fei's house arrest, Concubine Wan's fame rose rapidly and she was suddenly favored by the emperor. In three months, she jumped from a noble lady to the titled Concubine Wan, and she was the master of a palace and the head of nine concubines. The palace was also moved from the more remote Lanxiang Garden to the palace of the previous dynasty's favorite concubine, Concubine Jin, - Qixia Palace. This made all the concubines grit their teeth.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiang's heart began to beat fast.
She greeted him somewhat nervously.
Then she heard the palace maid above asking her which palace she was from and what she was going to do.
Nan Xiang naturally did not dare to hide anything and confessed everything readily.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid who asked the question accused him of the crime of "a dog slave bumping into a palace concubine".
Nan Xiang was speechless, but her cautious nature over the years made her admit her mistake immediately, thinking that if she was more sincere Concubine Li would be more gentle.
I didn't expect it to work at all.
As expected, the palace is full of intrigues, and it is hard to see innocent people. Even the cold and beautiful women are just external packaging.
Everything is judged by outsiders.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged away and beaten with a stick, Nan Xiang was really getting anxious.
She had been punished before, but never with a cane.
Only this time, there was no escape.
She could accept it, but she felt angry and couldn't vent it.
After all, isn’t it common for a concubine to educate her servants?
It seems that this time I can only ask the eunuch who is the general manager of Shanggong Bureau to borrow medicine for wounds.
Just as she was being escorted to the place of punishment with her eyes closed, there was suddenly another noise coming from the front.
All I heard was a eunuch with a shrill voice shouting, "The Queen has ordered that Concubine Liu will give birth tonight. In order to pray for the upcoming heir, no blood should be seen in the palace."
Hearing this, Nan Xiang's face lit up with joy. With this password, she escaped today.
Nan Xiang opened her eyes and saw Concubine Li saying calmly, "Your Highness the Queen will obey your orders."
Sun Fuyu of Fengyi Palace nodded slightly, looking like the chief eunuch in the Queen's palace.
Nan Xiang immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
Then she heard Concubine Li say, "Sister Liu is giving birth, and I am very worried. Please, Eunuch Sun, lead the way. I will definitely follow the Queen's instructions."
Concubine Li's voice was still as cold as ever, but Nan Xiang could see the timely worry and concern on Concubine Li's face.
Nan Xiang complained in her heart, and then she saw Sun Fuyu's smiling face:
"Good, Lady Li Fei. Please come over here with us."
Sun Fuyu and the palace maids and eunuchs including those from Fengyi Palace walked on this side, while Concubine Li and her palace maids and eunuchs walked on the other side, lagging behind by half a step.
Your Majesty the Queen, the mother of a country, who dares to walk in front of her?
Concubine Li always appears to be cool and well-behaved in public, but she is also a smart person on the inside. Naturally, she would not make such a low-level mistake and offend the Queen.
The Empress and the current Emperor Chengming were childhood sweethearts. She was born in the Duke of Wei's Mansion and is the Duke of Wei's eldest daughter.
The queen married him when the current king was still King Cheng.
Three years later, the crown prince died of illness. The adult princes were eyeing the position of heir to the throne, but the late emperor had never appointed a crown prince. The crown prince's position remained vacant until the late emperor passed away. However, the imperial edict designated Emperor Chengming, who was then King Cheng.
The queen naturally became the queen from the princess.
When Emperor Chengming first ascended the throne, there were not many concubines in the palace. There was only one concubine and three maids.
The ministers persuaded Emperor Chengming to select concubines to fill the harem and continue the royal heir, and Emperor Chengming naturally agreed.
Less than a month after he ascended the throne, the first general election of the new dynasty began.
Concubine Xu and Concubine Xian entered the palace during this election.
Concubine Li entered the palace during the second election.
Wan Zhaoyi entered the palace in the third election. That was six years ago. At that time, Nan Xiang had not yet entered the palace. She entered the palace a year after the third election. At that time, the entire capital was in turmoil, and three major events happened in the Daqian Dynasty.
One was that the Duke of Wei and his son died in the battlefield while fighting against the Northern Di barbarians, and that the 300,000-strong Ji family army, which was famous for its mighty power in Daqian, were all buried alive.
The wife of the Duke of Wei died of grief, leaving only the Queen in the entire Duke of Wei's mansion, and the Queen was pregnant at the time.
Emperor Chengming was grateful for the loyalty and bravery of the entire Ji family. The empress was dignified and generous. She conferred the title of Marquis Yonglie on the son of the Duke of Wei and granted him grace. However, after receiving the grace, the empress became extremely cold towards Emperor Chengming.
Emperor Chengming did not care and allowed the empress to return to the Ji family's ancestral home to nurture and give birth.
The second was that a famine occurred in the south and a large number of refugees fled. In the end, it was the Li family, Li Fei's maternal family, that perfectly solved the famine, and Li Fei jumped from Li Chongyi to the position of concubine.
The third is that after the death of Duke Wei and his son in battle, the Northern Di became increasingly restless and harassed the border. In the end, it was Concubine Xu's father and elder brother who repelled the Northern Di and killed the Northern Di marshal. After receiving a large reward from Emperor Ming, Concubine Xu's father was named a first-rank general and her elder brother was named a third-rank left general. The Xu family was brought unlimited glory.
Concubine Xu was originally a favorite concubine, and after this incident she won the emperor's favor even more.
These are what Nan Xiang learned from various sources.
Over the years, in the palace, she knew many things and learned to be patient and law-abiding. She just wanted to live her life in peace.
