Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen Maoqian

Because Maoqian was the court lady in front of the emperor in the old days and also the daughter of Manchuria, she was very well dressed.I saw her wearing a new blue satin painted with silver and pinched flowers, with a squirrel fur beanie, a honey lotus-colored twig-wrapped flower horse-face skirt, and a neat little pair of hair, with red velvet flowers on her hairpin. , with a flat square of tortoise shell and beaded stone, and no tassel hairpin decoration, it looks elegant and elegant.She had obviously dressed up deliberately, and she looked gentle and amiable in all her colorful clothes. Only a pair of hanging eyebrows gave her a bit of fierceness.

Although she has been out of the palace for many years, she is very familiar with the rules before the emperor. Please accept the filial piety of your slaves and servants for any punishments your majesty and others will have." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three more times. The emperor looked at her complexion. Although her makeup was meticulously painted, the haggard look at the corners of her eyes and brows could still be seen under closer inspection, and he was a little hesitant at the moment, "What? I married you and Ling Yunche, but you and your husband lived together. This is not good, so why does Concubine Yu have to find you? Don't choke if you want to spit it out, and make things difficult for yourself."

The emperor glanced at her, "You don't want to save any face?" Ruyi slowly caressed the golden water chestnut hand stove in her hand. The small pieces of red bamboo charcoal in the golden vessel were already hot, so she had to protect the feverish ermine muff inside and out.But that hotness has become the only thing to keep warm now.These people in front of me, these words, are all cold, frozen sewage, forcing people to swallow mouthfuls, it is so cold that it makes people sick. She glanced at the emperor lightly.With a half-smile, he said: "The emperor didn't save any face for his concubines, and others would naturally love them and would not keep them. Even if the concubines wanted to keep them, it would be in vain."

Maoqian was not afraid, she bowed respectfully to Ruyi, and said slowly: "The slaves have served the emperor for many years, and the emperor knows everything from the heart to the heart. Today, I dare not lie to the master. Ling Yun To the outside world, Che is an excellent husband, and everyone praises him. But in the house, although at first he pretended to greet his servants, but he never cared about them." She blushed slightly, bowed her head and said, "No To hide the truth from the emperor, this servant and Ling Yunche have been married for many years, and they have been married for only ten days. He doesn't even know if there is a scar on the palm of this servant."

The emperor nodded slightly, "You have a scar on the palm of your right hand. It was burned by a candle when you first entered the palace to serve me." With tears streaming down her face, Maoqian bowed down again and again and said: "The emperor has mercy, and this servant will always remember it." Qiu Wan took a breath of air, and tried her best to calm down and said: "You are also confused, Ling Yunche serves the emperor, there are many important things to remember, and there are also small things that are forgotten. He spends less time with you for the sake of being loyal to the emperor. You should be more considerate."

Maoqian endured her shyness, her face flushed and she said: "At first, the slaves also tried their best to relieve themselves, but after a long time, they saw some clues." When she mentioned this episode, she hated and annoyed, "He is not loyal to the emperor..."" She stared at Ruyi suddenly, with a cold gleam in her eyes, "All his thoughts, ears and thoughts are all on the Empress. " Ruyi met her gaze, and lazily dusted off the apricot-colored silk silk in her hand, "Okay, I've finally come to this sentence, and it's not in vain that Concubine Yu has worked so hard to find you. It’s like an opera, once you sing the beginning, people can guess the end, it’s really boring.”

Maoqian's face was gloomy and cold, and she said compassionately: "The empress is really confident. The servant is not afraid of being a villain. After all, he has been married to him for many years, whether drunk or talking in sleep, the only thing he thinks of is the empress!" Before she finished speaking, Ling Yunche strode forward, bowed, and stared at Maoqian angrily, "I only know that the partition wall has ears and mustaches to guard against thieves, but I don't want you and me to sleep together for many years and even talk in sleep." Literally." When Maoqian and Ling Yunche met each other, they were so angry that they didn't return to the extremely restrained manner just now. They sneered and said: "As the saying goes, you speak the truth after drinking, and you speak from your heart in your dreams. If you don't sleep together in the same pillow, how would you know?" You can't forget the dirty and hidden things in your heart so much day and night, and you can't forget them in your dreams." She spit with red eyes, "You dare to say that I am a thief, and a thief who picks flowers is shameless!"

Ling Yunche was furious, "This is Yuqian, you treat it as your family, let you go crazy and talk nonsense?" Maoqian burst into tears, gritted her teeth desperately, stretched out her long nails to poke his cheek and said, "Do you still remember home? I don't know how soon I will come back, have you forgotten all about it?" Ling Yunche was so angry that his face was livid, and he ignored her because he was in front of the imperial court. Seeing this, Maoqian felt a great grievance, and said: "That day, Concubine Yu sent someone to report your safety, saying that you went to save the empress. People's thoughts. The matter of saving you is just because you have selfishness with the queen, so you revealed your adultery. What loyalty and bravery, bah!"

Ling Yunche couldn't bear to say anything at first, but after hearing what she said was unbearable, he finally couldn't help but said: "What kind of muddled village talk, dare to slander the empress's reputation!" Maoqian leaned in front of him, chasing after him, but her eyes slanted across Ruyi, looking more fierce and aggressive, and said: "Qingyu? I want to see what kind of Qingyu is, so that it can attract other men's fascination Upside down! Even in a dream, I couldn’t let it go, and kept calling the empress by her boudoir name.” Maoqian’s eyebrows were raised at first, but when she got annoyed, her eyebrows even stood up, fierce and ferocious, and said viciously, “If Yi, Ruyi, is really an auspicious and memorable name!"

Ling Yunche was extremely angry, and he didn't care about being in front of the emperor, so he slapped his backhand, and Fang solemnly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to control my wife and house, but I dare to be rude in front of the emperor. !" The emperor snorted coldly, and Yan Wan sternly reprimanded: "Good fight! You should be disciplined! It's not too much to be killed if you forget the rules and argue indiscriminately in front of the imperial court." Maoqian was angry and annoyed, she kowtowed like a mountain with all her might, and said with tears, "Your Majesty, this slave girl came today, knowing that she has committed a capital crime, but she is just trying to make a living, so that she can live clearly." Wanting to breathe fire, he covered half of his swollen face and smiled at Ruyi: "What a good day today, the empress received the emperor's beating, and the servants also received the beating from her husband! It's really both. The day when the wife and family lose their virtue!"

The more Yan Wan watched, the more she frowned, and she stopped and said: "What kind of wife is immoral, how noble is the empress! Just because you talk about the master, you should be killed immediately." Concubine Yu protected Maoqian behind her, feeling aggrieved, "The imperial concubine is in charge of Liu Fu, so she doesn't want to see these dirty things. But don't just hide your broken arm in your sleeve and blindly cover it up. How dirty and smelly, It’s all polluted to the middle palace! If the noble concubine thinks she’s from the Han army and doesn’t care about our harem, I can’t complain.” Yan Wan, assistant manager of Liugong, hates others to talk about her background in the Han army flag, she was so angry that her face paled, she repeatedly stroked her chest and gasped for breath, pointing at her with one hand and weeping blindly, she was speechless. The emperor's gaze was like the ice on the cliff, and the heights were extremely cold. He slowly glanced at Concubine Yu, "You are not willing to accumulate virtue even in your mouth, and you even accuse Concubine Ling. You are the one who really sued the empress." Wrong, I will also punish the crime of slandering the noble concubine." Ruyi listened to him saying that he only cared about coquettishness, all his painstaking efforts turned into traces of sourness, eroding his heart, and unconsciously said: "Your Majesty is really a good husband." The emperor did not answer, but looked at Maoqian and continued bitterly, "As a Manchu, I am wronged to marry you Han Junqi. I abide by my duties as a wife and house, and when I see you are cold, I know something is wrong. But I don’t want you to be so bold, to enter and leave the palace so indiscreetly!” Ling Yunche walked up to the emperor with folded fists and knees, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Maoqian just talked about the dream, and there is no way to confront it. How can you take it seriously?" "Isn't it serious?" Maoqian said with infinite sarcasm, she took out a small purse from her bosom, took out a piece of paper, and read: "Twenty years, April 20, once. Twenty years and ten February 22nd, another one. September 13th, twenty-five years, another one. Once was a coincidence, and I dreamed three times in five years, but I didn’t believe it. What was it for? Don’t worry. You are at home Sleeping with me, even if you ignore me, it’s not difficult to listen to your words. You don’t have to blame me for trying my best. You treat me so coldly that I can’t sleep at night, which is also reasonable. As a wife, being separated Petting is nothing, but my husband has no self in his heart, so it's hard for you to ask me not to complain or hate." Ling Yunche's expression changed in astonishment, and after a moment of silence, Fang resolutely shook his head, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, although the couple is meant to be married, they haven't met each other before. I'm a lonely person, and I only got married because of the emperor's love, so I've been pregnant with him." She has a heart of respect and love for her wife. After marriage, the minister asked Maoqian to take care of the family affairs, and she did not refuse or disrespect anything she asked for." But his expression was a little sad, "Maoqian has been in front of the emperor for a long time, and the rules are natural Thoughtful, but it is unavoidable that there is a big intention. Moreover, she always looks down on Wei Chen as a bannerman of the Han army, and she also despises Wei Chen's ancestors in her words. This kind of gossip. The humble minister has no way to control, and he is willing to accept the crime." Yan Wan sobbed softly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, what Lord Ling said is also reasonable. Seeing that Concubine Yu is one level lower than the concubine, she can still speak out and ridicule the concubine's background. The couple under the eaves of the family will inevitably have their teeth rubbed against each other." If the tongue is broken, discord arises." Seeing Yan Wan defending Ling Yunche, Ruyi was secretly surprised, but she didn't show any signs of expression, she just looked at her coldly and remained silent. The emperor sat down slowly, and rubbed the golden thread dark pattern Wufu holding birthday boots on the red carpet vigorously. He smiled and said to Yan Wan: "You know when the wind blows, and you are very good at empathizing with others." Yan Wan usually spends a lot of time with the emperor, and she also knows that he is very temperamental. Hearing this, she was so frightened that she got up and confessed.The emperor still smiled and said: "Come on, I just said it casually. What are you doing so restless?" He was so disrespectful and dared not answer.The emperor looked at Ruyi, snapped his fingers and said, "Ling Yunche's talking in his sleep, I thought it was nonsense, so let's just listen to it. Who knows that this day is quite interesting, Queen, what do you think?" If Ruyi thought about it, she quickly calmed down and said slowly, "April 20th in the 20th year is the day when the emperor and his concubine Jing Si died. December 22nd in the 20th year is the day of Yongjing's death." The day after her untimely death. September 13th in the 25th year, it was the time when the emperor found out that Concubine Rong was barren and deeply blamed his concubines." The emperor's eyes were as sharp as swords, blood could be seen from the sharpness, "Ling Yunche and the empress really share joys and sorrows." Ruyi let out a faint "oh", stood up straight, and said blessedly: "It is not so much about sharing the joys and sorrows with the courtiers and concubines these days, it is better to say that it is related to the emperor's sympathy. The authenticity of calling the courtiers and concubines is unknown , it was really called, probably because of the emperor." The emperor was annoyed and alert, because of Ruyi's posture of being in the middle of it but standing idly by.Just as he was about to speak, Ruyi raised her eyes and said softly, "Ruyi." Yan Wan paled slightly, tremblingly said: "What did the Empress say?" Ruyi was certain in her heart, and calmly said: "I am talking about Ruyi, Ruyi is auspicious. How about it? Do you think Benfu is calling her boudoir name?" She looked at the emperor with pity, feeling grievance like a spring breaking through the ice , but forcibly suppressed his sobs, "If Ling Yunche is really talking in his dreams, the concubine thought he was praying for the emperor's wishes, and said, "Ruyi". It's hard to guess Maoqian's intentions, why did she decide that it was the concubine? What about your boudoir name?" The emperor's face relaxed for a moment, and then the sky became heavy and rainy, and he looked at Maoqian and said, "Why, are you so determined?" Maoqian was very annoyed, she took a silk to wipe her tears and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't dare to wrongfully cling to you. This matter happened again and again, and I also had doubts in my heart, so I didn't dare to be sure. Until I discovered something." Concubine Yu understood, clapped her hands twice, and saw her personal maid came up with a large brocade burden box, and opened it swiftly.I saw a pair of very old Ubud boots inside. It has been a long time, and the color of the fabric has faded, and it is slightly whitish.And the boot wearer thought he was extra careful, although the things were old, they hadn't been worn a few times, and the stitches were still fresh, obviously just washed away quietly by the years.Ruyi just felt her heart beating wildly, how could she not recognize that these boots were made by Ling Yunche before she was born in Lengfu.I don't want to see how many years have passed, but he cherishes it so much. Ling Yunche's face turned white and white, and finally a layer of ashes and rust appeared, "How did you find these boots?" Maoqian didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Your usual things are like treasures, and they are locked in your own paulownia box. I am not allowed to touch every stitch, thread, and rag. I am poor and lonely, and I love it like an eyeball when I can find anything valuable! After careful consideration, I discovered such a rare thing from the bottom of the box when you accidentally found someone with a key. I simply brought it in today. Look at Gong, please teach me to understand, masters too!" After she finished speaking, she saw that Yan Wan also stopped sobbing and looked at her curiously, and she became more courageous. She took out her boots and turned them over, each revealing a wishful cloud pattern, and said with a sneer, "This servant has been in the palace for a long time, and I know the name of the queen's concubine." Noble. Today, I gave up my face and my life, so I said with a face, because this wishful cloud pattern contains the homonym of the empress's boudoir name, it is the empress's favorite embroidery pattern on weekdays. Coincidentally, it also coincides with The name of a servant and a fool." Concubine Yu laughed, like an old raven perched on a branch at night, "Ruyi cloud pattern? Maoqian, if you don't make it clear, we will all become fools in the dark!" There was a moment of hesitation, the dust and ashes of memory came to his face, with a dim yellow tone, old and warm, Ruyi suddenly remembered the years in Lengfu, the bitterness of desolation, the bitterness of despair, like cold and damp The moss grows firmly in the bones. Restraining her emotions, she took off the long and sharp armor inlaid with silver and broken jade, stretched out her white fingertips, and used her slightly cool skin to feel the bruises after years of heavy rolling. Yanwan's eyes stared at Ruyi's movements, her suspicion became more and more intense, and she gradually turned into a state of panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Empress, you..." Concubine Yu jumped in front of Yan Wan, her black eyebrows raised high, "The empress is really soft-hearted and emotional, she can't bear to see a boot like this, and she will collapse when she sees a living person. " Concubine Yu's words were too unbearable, Maoqian's eyes burst into flames, and she said in a hateful voice: "Your Majesty, I can't blame the slaves for abandoning your husband. It turns out, it turns out that they——" She supported the ground with one hand, and pointed at Ruyi with the other, but she was not very serious. Dare, turned to point at Ling Yunche, trembling with anger like a pendulum. Ruyi's sadness condensed into a mournful sigh, "The concubine sees this thing for the first time, how can I not feel sad. Back then, Ruixin sewed these boots with her own hands to repay Master Ling for saving him from the fire. Now the years have passed, Rui Xin is already limping, and she is no longer what she used to be." She said quietly, "This stitch is clearly Rui Xin's embroidery skills, if the emperor doesn't believe it, just compare it." Yan Wan lost her voice and said: "It's Rui Xin?" She didn't seem to believe it very much, she turned her head to look at the emperor's face, and dared not speak out. Concubine Yu was taken aback, but quickly sneered and said, "Who is the Empress fooling with such words? Whenever something happens, she will take out her confidant to cover the bag. Who doesn't know that Rui Xin was once your personal maid, I would rather You won't say anything wrong with you even if your legs are crippled, so you should just ask her to admit it!" Ruyi didn't bother to argue with her at all, she just stared at the emperor, the autumn water in her eyes was calm and cold, like a deep pool, "Although the embroidery skills of my concubines are not as good as Hailan, but they get along day and night, and they are affected by their ears and eyes. In terms of strength, the Emperor Yiying's clothes are almost all made by concubines with ruyi patterns, to show their caring companionship. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can take it and have a look, and you will know it by comparing it." Yan Wan was very embarrassed, "Empress, these boots are more than ten years old. You know that embroidery skills are getting better and better, and there will always be changes. I'm afraid it's hard to determine." Ruyi smiled lightly, "The clothes worn by the emperor are from decades ago, and they are all archived. Although it takes some work, it is easy to find." The emperor nodded slightly, "If you ask Yuhu, you will know." Ruyi heard that his words were comforting and soothing, but when she saw Ling Yunche beside her, she felt resentful, and said loudly: "My concubine is not afraid of confrontation, but I am afraid that my suspicions will breed dark ghosts, and I don't understand." She finished speaking. , turned her head and looked slightly sideways at Concubine Yu, and untied the apricot-colored water silk silk from the gold-plated bud button and threw it on the ground, saying in a deep voice: "The patterns of Ruyi pattern used by the emperor are all hand-embroidered by the concubine, and the silk used by the concubine is hand-embroidered." I can't take care of it myself, and I'm impatient with the fancy embroidery work in the House of Internal Affairs. Ruixin embroidered it all along, and Rong Pei learned it later. Even if Ruixin is married in the palace, she sometimes misses her concubines and embroiders orders at home. Jiang and Bin sent it in. The texture of the stitches is different in density and size, and the emperor can tell by comparing them." Then he ordered, "Maoqian, pick it up and show the emperor to take a closer look, and you can see it clearly yourself, so that I can tell the palace to give up. distinct." The emperor looked at it carefully, his face paled, "there are subtle differences between the two, but they are indeed different." Ruyi smiled faintly, "I also asked the emperor to bring the old clothes, so that they can be clearly compared." The emperor waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile, "No need. I have seen it with my own eyes, so I understand it naturally." Ruyi bowed slightly to Ling Yunche, "Master Ling, you have saved Bengong and Ruixin, and Bengong and Ruixin will always remember it in your heart. I am not afraid to say that these boots are suitable for me. Thank you for making a pair. However, although I like embroidery, it is purely for elegant play, and it is nothing more than a thing for your own eyes, and it cannot be seen by outsiders." Ling Yunche's eyebrows sank, and he immediately understood what she meant, that he had clearly distinguished himself from the emperor.He couldn't understand why, so he could only press down the soreness on the bottom of his tongue, and said in response: "The empress empress is kind and merciful, and I am very grateful." Maoqian was obviously also extremely surprised, she was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react, but it was Concubine Yu who screamed first.Her voice was already shrill, but now she was hoarse, like she was tearing apart, "Your Majesty, do you believe her? Save this kind of rhetoric to coax yourself!" The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Who is outside? Pull Concubine Yu out to be quiet!" Li Yu hurriedly came in with his hands down, followed by two strong young eunuchs, respectfully said: "Your servant asks for an order, how should I deal with it?" The emperor was cold, and shouted loudly: "Put Concubine Yu in the Punishment Department, let her fend for herself, she must die!" Concubine Yu's eyes widened, how could she be willing to accept, she straightened her neck and shouted: " Your Majesty! Your Majesty! My concubine is so sincere to you, I can't bear to let you be deceived by an adulteress! Your majesty! Why did you let my concubine be loyal to you?" Where did Li Yu allow her to shout, so the little eunuchs stopped her with a wink, and hurriedly pulled a cloth to stuff her mouth.Concubine Yu struggled desperately, whimpering, extremely shrill. The emperor snorted softly, and said coldly: "You should thank the queen, if I hadn't promised the queen, there would be no place in the palace, I'm afraid you will go to the place where the queen once stayed and spend the rest of your life." Concubine Yu still struggled and begged, with a vicious look on her side, wishing she could swallow Ruyi in one gulp.Ruyi shook her head lightly, and said disdainfully: "Idiot, don't you know that you did not offend me when you went to the Punishment Department, but offended the emperor. You want to slander me, but you don't know that you are also insulting the emperor. Whether it is true or not, you have damaged the reputation of the emperor, who can tolerate you!" She glanced at the emperor, with a smile that was not a smile, "The emperor is willing to listen to you so much, not because the emperor likes to listen, but because the sacred heart is tolerant. It's just you I also think too much of the emperor's magnanimity. Don't you know that your palace is really abolished as you wish, and you will not end up well? Who gave you this scheming to seek your own death?" Concubine Yu was still struggling, but upon hearing this, her body gradually collapsed to one side, her eyes gradually lost their vigor.The emperor said, "Go! For the sake of Mongolia, I have kept your concubine in peace until now. Since you have gone to the Punishment Department, no matter what happened in life, I will also give you the honor and glory after death. Give Mongolia an explanation." After speaking, the little eunuchs dragged her out like a dead dog. Seeing what happened like this, Maoqian trembled all over her body, and crawled on the ground, she had long since lost her previous vigor. The emperor's boots rubbed against each other, and he said leisurely: "Maoqian, I married you to Ling Yunche that day, and you entered the palace several times to thank you, but you never mentioned that he was negligent to you. It seems like I am not merciful and considerate, and I have wronged your marriage." How could Maoqian bear the emperor's words like this? She couldn't help but burst into tears, and cried on the ground: "The emperor is very kind, and I wanted to find a good support for my slaves. But I didn't want the Han army flag to be humble and unreasonable. The slaves wanted to marry chickens and follow chickens. I don’t want to be like a stubborn rock.” The emperor hadn't spoken yet, Ruyi couldn't listen anymore, Yan Wan heard her mention the identity of the Han Junqi, and thought that although she was a noble concubine and was in charge of the six palaces, she felt more and more embarrassed because of this identity. It was hot, and he secretly gritted his teeth and remained silent.Maoqian was still unaware, chattering endlessly, Ruyi lowered her face and said: "Maoqian, although you said that you strictly abide by your wife's rules and make compromises, but there is a lot of contempt for your husband in your words, even though this is the first time I have heard it, I find it hard to bear What's more, Ling Yunche has been with you for many years. A man wants to face himself. How can you allow you to slander him day and night? It belongs to the Han army flag, so what's the difference with you, why do you have a pair of snobbish eyes and think highly of yourself!" Hearing Ruyi's words of reprimand, Yan Wan was very happy, and felt pity for Ling Yunche's years of suffering, and said: "I listened to you today, I really have a sharp tongue. Speaking of the Han army flag, my palace is The Han army flag, the imperial concubine Chunhui and the imperial concubine Huixian who have gone, which one is not the Han army flag? The emperor treats us kindly, but when we arrive, you have a heart of contempt. It is really a waste of you serving the emperor for many years. joke!" Ling Yunche's eyes widened angrily, he punched the ground again and again, he paused and said: "Stupid woman! Stupid woman! I can tolerate all of this, but you and Concubine Yu are slandering the empress, do you still want to die?" Maoqian was already softened. Hearing this verse, she gritted her teeth and raised her body, shedding tears and sneering, "Ling Yunche! I'm desperately trying to avoid this life! Don't I know that it is a serious crime for a wife to disobey her husband? Just be a fool. Meeting Concubine Yu was a coincidence, without her, I would have to figure it out sooner or later." Ling Yunche shook his head sadly, sad and angry, "Now you understand? Because of your understanding, you will cause unrest in the palace, unrest in the family, disregard of the face of your husband, and even the reputation of the emperor and empress. Destruction is in your hands. Maoqian, you are a marriage gift from the emperor, how could I disrespect you? But you have to strive to be the first in everything, blindly want to overwhelm me in terms of status, how can I love you and cherish you? Frozen three feet It didn't happen overnight, so now, I'm also at fault, that's all, that's all." Maoqian burst into tears when she heard this, and she forcibly held back her words: "You naturally think that you treat me well, and who doesn't think so? Even though I am in power at home, as a wife, what is the most important thing? Do you respect my husband only for money? Don’t you know that respect is also alienation, contemptuous love, sincerity and consideration are the most rare. You despise my contempt, why don’t you work hard to earn a future fame, or you can be like other husbands , coax me to let me, love me and let me? But you just don’t like oil and salt, ignore me, how can I be so angry with you? If I put up with you, it would be useless to serve so many years in front of the imperial court .” Ruyi couldn't bear to hear her noise anymore, and sighed: "Because you have a lot of experience in serving the imperial court, even if Ling Yunche is the imperial guard, he can't catch up with you. You are the Manjun Banner, and he is the Han Army Banner, let alone compete with you." You stand shoulder to shoulder. You must know that between husband and wife, treat each other with kindness and respect, only then can there be true love and affection. It is really difficult for you to be husband and wife like this." The emperor quietly listened to her words, took a pickled plum and ate it, and slowly drank a sip of green tea, Fang shook his head and said: "Maoqian, when you are in front of me, you are very clever, you have to take care of your face." You have done a great job. So I will marry you to Ling Yunche with confidence, but who knows, it is self-defeating and I have turned your spouse into a resentful spouse." His eyes slanted slightly, and he spun Ruyi's face lightly, as if he hadn't intended Ban sighed: "You must know that ministers obey the emperor, sons obey the father, and wives obey the husband. They cannot be reversed. No matter how strong a wife is, her husband is the sky. Why do you come up with your own ideas? You are very wrong." Originally when Ruyi spoke, Maoqian just stuck her neck and refused to speak. Although she listened silently, she didn't respect her very much.She was a little scared when the emperor spoke, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I dare not, but I am really wronged..." The emperor waved his hand, "Okay. I'm impatient with today's matter, and I sent a concubine Yu to ask for peace. Since you and Ling Yun are at odds, since I bestowed the marriage, I must also be a villain." He cast a sideways glance at Ling Yunche, "The disharmony between husband and wife is mostly on you. I will remember your sins one by one for you." Ling Yunche froze, and wanted to take a look at Ruyi, but he had to stop his gaze, lowered his head and said, "Yes." The emperor's face was a little gentler, "Forget it, it's hard to get over the water, and you can't be a husband and wife anymore when you go back today. Let me make the decision. You write a letter to release your wife and Maoqian, and the two of you will bid farewell." Maoqian was so shocked that she almost cried out, so she had to cover her mouth with all her strength, and turned her face away to let the tears fall. Ling Yunche kowtowed deeply, bowed his head three times, but remained silent, and retreated quietly. The emperor looked at the sad and weak Yan Wan beside him, with a hint of pity, "You are responsible for assisting the Sixth Palace, but you can't share the worries for the emperor and queen, and you can't even suppress a concubine Yu." Seeing her fragile state, the emperor felt even more sympathetic, "Although you are a noble concubine, your qualifications are lower after all. In the past, Concubine Yu also held the power and responsibility of assisting the sixth palace, but now she has grandchildren, and it is getting older, so it is difficult to separate yourself." Forget it, you can ask her if you have anything to do." He slightly raised his chin, comprehending coquettishly, and said: "Thank you for the emperor's advice, the concubine will take Maoqian back to the palace to freshen up, and then send someone out of the palace." Ruyi saw the two whispering and ignoring where he was, so he simply got up, blessed him and said: "Since the matter is over, the concubine will leave first." The emperor smiled slightly, showing infinite pity, and the corners of his lips were tightly condensed into a warm smile, "The empress accidentally hurt her face just now, I asked someone to take some cooling plaster for removing blood stasis, and wipe it on for you.
