[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual
Chapter 21 Tang Xuanzong Mei Concubine
Tang Xuanzong was silent for a moment, and said: "You don't need to look for it, I took it away yesterday, tell Qin Xiang, put it with me first, and when I return to the palace, I will take it to the queen myself."
Concubine Mei sighed, and said, "Your Majesty rested on the Lianhua Terrace because he thought of the empress."
It's not that two words are absolutely unavoidable, but he hasn't thought of a perfect countermeasure yet. Hearing that Concubine Mei has already thought out a speech for him, Tang Xuanzong just listened silently.
"Although the empress and my concubine have different views on many things, and have had disputes with my concubine many times, the empress is still very good to my concubine, and often sends some delicate jewelry and gadgets." Concubine Mei pointed Pointing to a plum blossom embroidered screen on the table, he said with a smile, "This is painted by the Empress herself."
Tang Xuanzong gave a suspicious "Huh" and said, "I saw that you have been using this embroidery screen for several years, but I didn't expect it to be painted by Mrs. Wu himself."
"Your Majesty doesn't know? I thought the Empress had mentioned it to Your Majesty, so I didn't say much."
Tang Xuanzong laughed and said: "Maybe Wu has the same thoughts as you. She thinks you said it, and you think she said it. In the end, neither of them said it. They just kept me in the dark."
"Thinking about it this way, in fact, the concubine and the queen still have a lot of tacit understanding. It's a pity that I only cared about arguing with the empress at the beginning, and didn't talk to her calmly. If we calm down and talk for a while, maybe we can still become good sisters... Now thinking about it It's too late to understand." Concubine Mei's voice gradually became low, a little sad.
"Yeah, it's too late." Tang Xuanzong sighed and said, "When I saw you two bickering in the past, I just sat and watched, and didn't help anyone. It's also a pleasure to see you blushing and thick neck every time you argue. The Wu family left at a young age, leaving behind me..."
"It's because the concubine's health is not good, which has aroused His Majesty's sadness." Concubine Mei changed the subject after she took up the conversation: "I still remember that the empress gave me a half-winged kite feather dot emerald gold hairpin , said it was rewarded by His Majesty, and passed it on to my concubine."
"Really?" Over the years, Tang Xuanzong had sent out too many treasures and jewelry, but the name of the jewelry didn't remind him.
Seeing that he didn't remember, Concubine Mei made an excuse and said: "Yes, the golden hairpin is very beautiful, I will show it to His Majesty."
Concubine Mei stood up, went to the makeup mirror in the dormitory and rummaged through it.After a while, Tang Xuanzong also walked in.
Concubine Mei went back and forth several times in several boxes but couldn't find it. Even Tang Xuanzong saw the problem. Concubine Mei pretended to be alarmed and murmured: "Why can't I find it? It's obviously placed here .”
Concubine Mei raised her voice to call Xiaomei, and asked, "Do you still remember where the half-winged kite feather and emerald green hairpin that the empress gave me was placed? Quickly help me find it."
Xiaomei's face was a little flustered, and she calmly said: "Why did your mother suddenly want to find this hairpin?" It was because this hairpin was not used often by Concubine Mei that she dared to sell it. She didn't expect that she had just sold it for money to replace her brother. After making up most of the shortfall, Concubine Mei said she wanted this hairpin before she had time to be happy, what would she do?
At that moment, countless ways of procrastination flashed through Xiaomei's mind, and she hoped that as long as she escaped this moment, even if she sold her brother tomorrow, she would go to redeem the golden hairpin.
Concubine Mei urged: "Find it out for me quickly, Your Majesty wants to see it."
It turned out that His Majesty wanted to see...
Xiaomei suddenly realized that in front of His Majesty, all the methods she thought of were useless.
She swallowed heavily, walked slowly to the dressing table, and rummaged through it slowly.
After pretending to look for it for a while, under the double pressure of His Majesty and Concubine Mei, Xiaomei finally couldn't stand it anymore, and she stammered: "Madam, I seem to remember that this golden hairpin was not brought here."
Concubine Mei smiled and said: "How is it possible, I saw it a few days ago, Chen Xiang said that day that he would make a high bun for me to match this hairpin." Concubine Mei looked at her face and joked: "You can't remember, I'd better call Chen Xiang, she has a good memory and is good at finding things."
Xiaomei hurriedly said: "I remember, I remember." She kept talking, and continued to rummage through her hands.
All she knows is that the only plan for the present is to delay time. The maid secretly brought things out of the palace to sell money, and she didn't get the master's permission. She would also lose half her life, and she didn't want either of these two outcomes.
However, no matter how long the time drags on, paper will never be able to contain fire, and lies will still be exposed.
Tang Xuanzong said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you, a court lady, you are slow in doing things, isn't it like this before?"
As soon as His Majesty's words came out, Xiaomei's hands trembled in fright, and she threw a box of jewelry to the ground, "Ding Ding!"
In a hurry, she knelt down to pick it up, but it was a pity that she broke all the untouched jade ornaments in the jewelry box, and she couldn't mend them again.
Concubine Mei's expression turned ugly, "Xiaomei, where is Nobile?"
Xiaomei cried out with a "woo", choked up and said, "I don't know."
Concubine Mei called Chen Xiang again and asked her to clean up the things on the ground.
Concubine Mei sat on the reclining chair and said seriously: "Xiaomei, did you say it yourself, or do you want me to send someone to investigate?"
Xiaomei didn't answer, just sobbed blindly, and the packed Chen Xiang interjected: "Return to your majesty, to your empress, among these jewelry, there is a half-winged kite feather dot emerald gold hairpin, a white jade bracelet, and a piece of jewelry. A pair of gold and pearl earrings."
Xiaomei's crying stopped for an instant, and she suddenly felt the darkness in front of her eyes, which made her unable to breathe.She heard Concubine Mei say: "Xiaomei, just tell me, where did you take the things?"
There was no trace of blood on Xiaomei's face, she kowtowed "bang bang bang" and cried: "Your Majesty has wronged the servant, the slave did not take the things."
"You still don't admit it? It's because of your brother."
As soon as Concubine Mei's words came out, Xiaomei's eyes widened suddenly, and she even forgot to cry.
Concubine Mei continued: "I know that your brother owes hundreds of thousands of gambling money to the gambling house. I thought you would work hard and give you a little more salary every day so that you can pay off the debt as soon as possible. I didn't expect you... ..."
"My servant made a mistake, I beg your mother to spare me—"
Concubine Mei shook her head regretfully, and said to Tang Xuanzong, "What do you think His Majesty should do?"
"She is from your palace, so she should be dealt with lightly."
Concubine Mei said heartbrokenly: "Although Xiaomei is the concubine's court lady, but the concubine is temporarily acting as the palace official. If even the maids in her own palace want to show favoritism, how can she set an example for the sixth palace?"
Tang Xuanzong gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Then it's up to you to deal with it."
Concubine Mei said sternly: "The maids carry the items from the palace without permission to sell, and as a rule, they will be given a white silk." Xiaomei trembled in fright and looked at her with a pale face. For the sake of serving me for so many years, I only paid forty big boards, redeemed the jewelry in the palace, and sent it out of the palace."
The forty-year-old, Xiaomei has rubbed Jiang Caiping's things over the years, and has raised her body delicately, and the forty-year-old will kill her.
Concubine Mei sighed, and said, "Your Majesty rested on the Lianhua Terrace because he thought of the empress."
