"Three princesses, the servant has offended!" a small eunuch raised the board and fell heavily, gently put it on Xiyue's back and winked at Xiyue.
Xi Yue clearly opened his mouth and howled, "ah... It hurts..."
The little eunuch held up the board again, fell down heavily and took it gently. He looked like he had done enough. After a short while, he finished thirty boards, and manager Wu went in and told the emperor.
Manager Li looked out and saw that Xiyue didn't see any red on his body. Looking at manager Wu aside, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty's meaning has been taught, so he sent several smart little eunuchs to send people back!"
"You, and you, send the three princesses back to Xiyue palace!" manager Wu assigned two little eunuchs to send them away, and then ordered the little quanzi who followed him to say, "go and tell the imperial concubine that the three princesses have not been wronged by your majesty."
Xiaoquanzi was worried that she had no time to talk to the imperial concubine! At this meeting, manager Li asked him to go. He hurried to Qingyan palace.
Qingyan Palace
"Madam, Xiaoquanzi's father-in-law wants to see you." Xiaotao came in and said.
Leng Qingyan leaned against the imperial concubine's couch, gently stroked the white cat with white jade like fingers, raised his eyes and said to Xiaotao, "let him come in!"
"Yes!" Xiaotao was ordered to report.
After a moment, Xiaoquanzi came in.
"The slave Xiaoquanzi sends greetings to the imperial concubine. The empress is thousands of years old."
"Free from these false gifts, tell the palace about the Royal study." Leng Qingyan glanced at her and said.
"Your Majesty didn't promise to marry. After the crown prince of Suzhou returned, your majesty asked the three princesses to go to the imperial study. I don't know what disrespectful words the three princesses said, which just angered your majesty..."
"Did your majesty punish her?" Leng Qingyan hurriedly interrupted him and asked.
"Punishment! Your majesty ordered people to beat three princesses and thirty boards." Xiaoquanzi said truthfully.
Thirty boards!
Leng Qing Yan Huo opened his eyes, twisted his eyebrows and said angrily, "the three princesses are delicate and expensive. Don't you have something to report?"
"The imperial concubine and empress calm down. Manager Li is really worried! The slaves can't leave." Xiaoquanzi quickly knelt down and looked bitter.
Manager Li was sitting there. He wanted to go to Qingyan palace, but he had to go away! Alas! Carefully raised his eyes and looked at the face of the imperial concubine. Seeing that she was not angry, he dared to continue: "madam, relax your heart. What is the identity of the third princess? She is protected by her mother. Manager Wu didn't dare to lay a heavy hand."
When Leng Qingyan heard this, his face was slightly Ji and said, "in this way, the palace is relieved. You continue to stare at the palace. Remember to tell the palace if you have anything."
Leng Qingyan asked Xiaotao to give him a ingot of silver and sent him down.
Xiaotao brought her a glass of water and couldn't help saying, "madam, the three princesses must have suffered a lot in the imperial study. Why don't you go and see her."
"If you go to the palace, she will only cry! If you are worried about her, take some food to see her and say hello for the palace." Leng Qingyan put the used cup aside and smiled at Xiaotao.
"The empress is really so cruel. The three princesses must be wronged this time. It's not easy to comfort me if I'm just a slave. You'd better go and see it yourself! Just be a slave. Please!"
"The palace is too tolerant to you on weekdays, but you have questioned the palace!" Leng Qingyan glanced at her, and his tone was quite unhappy.
"I don't dare! I just... I just think that the third princess is young and doesn't do anything. Now that she has been wronged, I must hope her mother will accompany me. I'll die..." Xiaotao quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"That's all! The palace will go and see her. Go down and prepare!" Leng Qingyan frowned and sighed.
"I'll go to the kitchen and take some delicious cakes for the third princess." Xiaotao said and jumped out again.
"Lilac, please make up your palace!" Leng Qingyan looked at lilac.
"Madam, this white jade Hibiscus hairpin is very suitable for your makeup today. I'll plug it in for you."
Leng Qingyan nodded in agreement, then looked at lilac and said, "don't dress up. It's better to be simple and elegant. If you can, you'd better make the palace look haggard." if the Emperor sees her so haggard, he will carefully consider Xiyue.
"Yes, maidservants do their best." said lilac, smoothing her cool hair on her temples, combing each hair with a rhinoceros horn, and then turning it into a temples, and then darkening her face with dark eye shadow.
"How about this, madam?" asked lilac.
"Remove this pearl flower and put it on the white jade with exquisite pearls. In addition, find out the new Royal Blue Palace Dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers for our palace."
"OK, I'll find it now." Lilac put down her comb and hurried inside. Half a cup of tea, she took out the Palace Dress and changed it for Leng Qingyan.
——
Xiyue Palace
There was a figure squatting in the messy fragments and calligraphy and painting on the ground. Her petite body held her chest with both hands, and her body trembled. The blood seeped out between her fingers. The bright red blood fell on her milky beautiful face. It looked very embarrassed.
"Get out... Get out of my princess..." a hysterical roar came out of the door.
Leng Qingyan frowned, pushed open the door and saw a room in chaos. Several little maids knelt there and cried. Xiyue looked at people with red eyes. First, she was stunned, then wiped her tears and greeted with a smile, "aunt, why are you here?"
"If the palace doesn't come, are you going to set the Xiyue Palace on fire? You're disappointing the palace." Leng Qingyan went in and found a good brocade table to sit down.
"Aunt!" Xiyue went to Leng Qingyan and called out cleverly.
"I heard about you and Gusu Duanyu..."
"No, nothing! It's the rumors made up by those dog slaves. Aunt, you believe me." Xiyue said quickly.
"I don't believe those rumors, but there is no wind and no waves. If you don't do that extraordinary thing, the slaves have nothing to make up. Tell me what happened at that time." Leng Qingyan zhengse said.
"I'm just taking back my own things. Aunt, you have to help me. I don't want to marry that Gusu Duanyu. He doesn't look like a good man." Xiyue said coquettishly, holding Leng Qingyan's hand.
"The palace only asks you one word. You should answer honestly. The palace can't hide anything." Leng Qingyan raised her eyes and said seriously.
"Aunt, ask! Xiyue must answer honestly." Xiyue said quickly.
Leng Qingyan took a deep look at her and asked after a moment of silence, "have you and Xi mufei done anything immoral?"
Xi Yue was stunned. What does this have to do with Xi mufei! Why did my aunt ask about flying at dusk?
"Xi mufei is a gentleman. Xi Yue has never crossed the distance with him. Xi Yue is still a virgin." Xi Yue blushed, forced back the slaves with her eyes and whispered.
"In this way, the palace will rest assured. Later, the palace will go to tell her majesty to let mammy verify your integrity and return your innocence." Leng Qingyan touched her head and said.
Xiyue nodded, lowered his head and flushed.
"Xiyue listens to his aunt."
