Her body jerked and her hands trembled, and her purse almost fell off. Even she could clearly see what was going on, what was she thinking?
If she could fight for it, she wouldn't have been able to win it. However, she wasn't willing to lose herself in this manner, just like those imperial concubines.
As long as it was a day, it was better off if it was a day than if it was a day. Li Ruotong got Autumn Water to take the needle and thread to her, and taught her for an entire day.
In fact, Shen Qingwan felt that the sound of the zither suited her taste. This state of mind was not common in the harem, so she wanted to meet the person who played the zither.
After dinner, she went out for a walk. The zither music had already stopped, so she had no choice but to return home in low spirits. Once Lian Yun had an idea, she would definitely pay him a visit.
"This is bad!" "I've lost!" At this moment, he heard a maid's shout. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He seemed to be able to see a fire coming from there.
Without a doubt, he rushed over. When he arrived, he saw a group of people gathered in front of the courtyard. They were all concubines who were just there to watch the show.
After an unknown period of time, Fu Yuheng finally walked over from afar. It was obvious that he was unhappy.
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty, chenqie is so scared …" Liu Chu Rong used the handkerchief in his hand to wipe his tears, then said with tears, "I almost couldn't see the emperor again."
These words caused Fu Yuheng's heart to soften. Besides, the person in front of him was in a rather sorry state. He could not help but feel pity when he saw the teary face of the person in front of him.
He patted her back lightly and lowered his head to comfort her, "Alright, I'm not afraid anymore. I'm here." Only then did he raise his eyes and look at the crowd before him. His tone returned to its usual majestic tone, "What is going on?"
Shen Qingwan looked at the scene in front of her, not saying a word, her eyes cold.
Instead, it was her wishful thinking.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us! Your Majesty, please forgive me! " A maid ran out from the side. He looked young, his limbs were not very nimble, and from the looks of it, he was a new maid. Kneeling on the ground, his body trembling, his tears rolling in his eyes, he said, "Your servant accidentally knocked the candle down, that's …"
"Speak, where did you come from?" Could it be that you want to harm us?! " Liu Chugrong's eyes opened wide, wanting to tear the person in front of her into pieces. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state right now.
"This servant doesn't dare!" Your servant doesn't dare! "Your majesty, please forgive me!" The little palace maid was so frightened that he kowtowed and kept begging for mercy.
Steward Mammy rushed out from the crowd, his hand was already sweating profusely as he said tremblingly, "Honored guest, please calm your anger. This servant is the new palace maid, and does not understand the rules, please forgive her this time." The maidservant was clearly young and had just entered the palace. She could not bear to see her lose her life, so he opened his mouth to say a few good words.
"In that case …" Fu Yuheng felt a slight headache. This palace maid was indeed too irritating.
"Your Majesty! You must not let her off lightly! " Liu Chugrong gritted his teeth as he glared at that palace maid. Seeing that the Emperor seemed to want to let her go, he was extremely unwilling. He wanted to burn her courtyard to the ground. Did she still want to live?
Xiao Shushen stood behind the emperor and looked at her with a cold smile.
"If today's matter doesn't happen, forget it. After all, this is only her first time committing a crime. If she makes such a mistake next time, what happens if I behead her again?" Fu Yuheng consoled her, clearly wanting to calm the matter down.
"Your Majesty! "Chenqie …" Liu Chugrong obviously wanted to say something, but when he saw the emperor's expression turn cold, he realized that his actions had made him unhappy. He clenched his fists and lowered his head, unwilling to do so, but in the end, it was still more important to win the emperor's favor.
He glanced at the kneeling palace maid out of the corner of his eyes. Today was the first day he had taken advantage of her. In the future, he would have a chance to take care of her.
"Then let's do as the emperor says." Liu Chugrong was obviously not stupid. He lowered his body and bit his lips.
Fu Yuheng's gaze softened as he enjoyed Liu Xiurong's submission. "Don't worry Honorable Liu, I'll let you down for now. In a few days, I'll have the craftsmen repair the courtyard for you. We'll stay in the empress's empty room for now."
"Here." Liu Chugrong twitched his mouth and looked in the direction of the Queen. Although he didn't want to, he still agreed.
Xiao Shushen sneered, if not for the Emperor's words, she would not have allowed him to stay in her place.
From start to finish, Shen Qingwan was like an outsider as she looked at the scene in front of her. She looked at the palace maid with sympathy, at least she got a beating.
The imperial concubines had already dispersed in groups of twos and threes, and she did not want to stay any longer. She brought Lian Yun, who was behind her, back to her own courtyard.
The bag was lying by the pillow, but the person on the pillow was no longer interested and had been left alone.
The night passed, and the palace was still as it was before. However, there was still a change in the human heart.
