The phoenix punishes the son of the king to save the honor, the king rebukes the phoenix to do something unethical;
Feng Xin sorrowfully complained about his suffering, while the Sovereign King felt helpless and embarrassed.
Xuan Ye's arrival was sudden, but everyone quickly reacted and hurried to greet him. Seeing that Rong'er was not beaten up, Xuan Ye hurriedly reported to the advisor, saying that Noble Lady Rong had gone to pay her respects to the empress in the morning. He heard that Noble Lady Rong had also gotten into an argument with the empress, and was afraid that it would end up like yesterday's incident in Noble Lady De.
Yesterday, Dong Zhu had beaten Noble Lady De, but someone had already sent a letter to him, and he was later diagnosed with having a dragon son. When Xuan Ye went to visit Xuan De at night, his face was swollen from the beating, and he was very angry, so he asked the Noble Lady De why he had been beaten up. Xuan De told him what had happened, and only then did he find out that the empress had actually asked Rong'er to control her clothes, and had even casually given Rong'er's clothes to the palace servants. Rong'er had actually never mentioned these things to him. He was in trouble at the time. From the rules of the palace, the Queen had the authority to punish all the people in the harem, as well as give them the authority to let the other young hosts serve the Emperor. After all, all the young masters had served the Empress, and Xuan Ye knew that the advisor was right, the Empress managing the harem was not something he should participate in, so he restrained himself and tried to console the Noble Lady De. But she didn't expect that in just one day, she would find trouble with Rong'er, so he came to the Kunning Palace without a second thought.
"What did I see?" A palace maid wants to beat up a mistress in front of so many people? " Xuan Ye sat down with a cold face and asked loudly.
Everyone fell to their knees in fright upon hearing Xuan Ye's words. Seeing this scene, Dong Zhu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your concubine has been in the palace for so long. How could the palace not know that she is disrespectful to me? I should punish her, right?"
"You …" Xuan Ye looked at Dongzhu in exasperation.
Seeing that Xuan Ye had arrived, Rong'er didn't want to blow the matter up. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the empress is punishing chenqie. Chenqie accepts the punishments." Hearing Rong'er's words, Dongzhu couldn't help but angrily say, "How can you act so pitiful in front of the Emperor?"
Rong'er didn't have this intention. When he heard the empress's sudden words, he was speechless for a long time. Finally, he muttered, "Chenqie didn't …"
Xuan Ye gently stroked his forehead, "Alright, concubine Rong. You should return to Yin Kun Palace first. Everyone else should leave."
Hearing the emperor's order, Rowan and Toya went up to support Rong'er, leaving the palace together. The palace maids also all withdrew.
There were only Xuan Ye and Empress Dong Zhu in the East Warming Pavilion. Xuan Ye looked at Dong Zhu and asked coldly, "What are you planning to do?"
"Your majesty, chenqie only manages the imperial harem." Dong Zhu said confidently.
"Manage harem? Are you just randomly punishing my concubine? " Xuan Ye asked with a frown on his face.
Dong Zhu did not show any weakness as he raised his head and said, "Chenqie is the empress, isn't that what the empress allows? "I wonder why the emperor is so angry, is it because he wants to protect his concubine?"
You … "How did your temperament become like this, Dahu Lu?" "Dongzhu, how did you become like this?!" "" Xuan Ye was so angry that his voice trembled, "Don't you know how to be the mother of a nation? Don't know how to hold on to it? In front of you, there is an outstanding example of the filial Queen Heseley. You don't want to learn it, do you want to learn from the Consort Jing of the previous dynasty? "Do you want to be crippled?
"Hahaha …" Dong Zhu laughed, "Cripple me! Was the emperor looking for such an opportunity when he was establishing me? Keep an eye on me and find a chance to cripple me, don't you? Haha … Alright, I've beaten up Noble Lady De and my concubine, giving the emperor a chance. Your majesty, you're crippling me! You cripple me, East Pearl has no complaints at all! " The long accumulated gloom in Dongzhu's heart finally exploded. She didn't think about anything else and only wanted to let it go properly. Vent!
"You! Empress, have you lost your mind? Why do you say such a thing? "Since I set you up, I've never thought of crippling you. If you hold the position of empress and your virtue, how could I possibly cripple you?" When Xuan Ye saw the empress like this, dissatisfaction arose in his heart as he called out softly.
"Your Majesty, what has Dong Zhu done wrong? Ever since Dong Zhu entered the palace, he has never been liked by you. You care about the He Shi Li and Rong'er, you will smile at them from the bottom of your heart! But me? What did the Emperor give me? Do you care about me? I'm not in a good mood. Do you mind? I've also been in the palace for more than ten years, but Your Majesty, have your feelings been different from mine? " Dong Zhu said with tears streaming down her face, "If it weren't for my concubine punishing Noble Lady De and my concubine punishing her, would you have come to my palace at this time? Do you know how long it has been since you've come to see me? "
"This... "Empress, I've made you my mistress. How many women are there in the harem? How many people can receive such a favor? How can you not see such a supreme gift?" Xuan Ye helplessly said as he slapped his forehead with a headache.
"Empress, haha, Your Majesty, am I the empress? The emperor doesn't pay attention to the empress. Even if the empress were to punish the imperial concubine, the empress would still have to be held accountable. Aren't I, the empress, just for show? "I punished a second wife and the emperor came to hold me accountable. In the future, these second wives will never recognize me as an empress!" Dong Zhu murmured with tears in his eyes.
"This... You made the clothes for you with your concubine, it was your fault. It was also your fault for lowering the status of the palace maids with the clothes she made. Today, you are going to punish your concubines, and you shouldn't. If you do the right thing, will I take responsibility for it? " Xuan Ye said angrily.
"Alright, after all, the emperor said that chenqie was in the wrong. Then why don't you cripple chenqie? Anyways, chenqie did the wrong thing, so cripple chenqie!" Dong Zhu knelt on the ground as he spoke.
"You … "You're really unreasonable, I think you should reflect on yourself in the palace. Think about what the filial piety empress did in the past, you're not allowed to leave the palace for a month!" After saying this, Xuan Ye flicked his arm and left.
Dongzhu looked at Xuan Ye's departing back and cried on the ground. I just want you to take note of me, no matter what you do, Your Majesty … Can you look at me with your eyes... The sound of the empress's weeping hurt all of the palace maids.
He did not expect Dongzhu to be as meek and virtuous as Heseley, but at least half of it. He did not want to ruin her heart, but what would he do if she made such a ruckus? The only thing he wanted from her was to quietly be her queen. However, it was obvious that she didn't want that. Xuan Ye sighed. Why was it that the rebellion in the south had finally calmed down, and the events in the imperial harem had continued to happen?
