Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 215
Concubine Xian helped the Empress Dowager's hand forward, with a virtuous and virtuous look on her face: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it was Fang Jieyu and her servants who offended the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess wanted a little punishment."

Zhao Xi cried out inwardly.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's temples twitched, and she only glanced at Zhao Xiwei out of the corner of her eye: "Crown Princess? Oh, Ai Jia forgot, you are now the Crown Princess. But don't forget, Fang Jieyu is the emperor." people-"

He snorted coldly, "Although there is no queen in the palace, Ai's family is not dead yet. It's not up to you, a princess, to discipline this harem matter, right?"

"The empress dowager—"

Zhao Xiwei just opened his mouth, but the concubine Xian said with a smile: "You have wronged the princess, it was Fang Jieyu who made the princess kneel down first with her rude words."

"The concubine was wronged!" Fang Jieyu rushed over, knelt down at the empress dowager's feet, raised her red and swollen cheeks, and cried, "The concubine didn't recognize the princess, it was not on purpose..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the tip of her shoe, and a cold light appeared in her eyes.

Hundreds of maids in the Royal Embroidery Workshop got this pair of shoes by wearing pearls with gold thread and embroidering them for ninety-nine and eighty-one days.

With Fang Jieyu's pounce, the dust from the ground was picked up and landed on the toe of the shoe.

The queen mother narrowed her long and narrow eyes, but she didn't attack immediately.

A little Jieyu is not worth wasting a look from her.

But none of her expressions escaped Eunuch Chang's eyes. As soon as he lifted his foot, he kicked Fang Jieyu aside: "Things with no eyes, do you have the part to cry in front of the Queen Mother? You disturbed the phoenix body." Ten heads are not enough for you."

"The concubine was wronged..." Fang Jieyu opened her dark eyes, but did not dare to shed tears.

For more than ten years in the deep palace, she has been trapped in that cage-like bedroom.

Although the virtuous concubine in the main hall would often be angry with herself, but because she was too small, too mediocre, and she was [-] years old, these people bullied her, but they didn't really treat her as an enemy. in the eyes.

She had never seen what a real harem fight was like.

Therefore, she felt that she didn't mean it, so she must be able to explain it clearly to the Queen Mother.

"Queen, the concubine didn't do it on purpose..."

She looked up at the Empress Dowager, and there were tears flowing in those beautiful dark eyes, like bursts of light shining on the surface of a sparkling lake.

"These eyes." The Empress Dowager stared at Fang Jieyu who was kneeling in front of her, and suddenly said, "The Ai family looks annoying."

"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Chang smiled sympathetically and grabbed Fang Jieyu's collar.

Fang Jieyu opened her mouth, and stuffed a ball of rags into her mouth. All the voices of grievances turned into wailing, and she never uttered a complete sentence.

Eunuch Chang carried Fang Jieyu out of the palace gate like a broken doll.

Zhao Xiwei looked at their backs, and for some reason, his heart sank.

The deep palace is like the sea, and an unfavored woman lives worse than a slave.

I hope that after this lesson, Fang Jieyu can understand this cruel truth.

Without Fang Jieyu's sobbing and crying, the surrounding area became much quieter.

The queen mother smiled, with a look of joy on her face: "I think it's a big deal. Fang Jieyu didn't recognize the princess, and it's not a crime of beheading. It can be explained clearly in one sentence, and it's worth making such a big fuss ?”

The queen mother's words were clearly directed at Zhao Xiwei, but none of her eyes fell on her.

Concubine Xian, on the other hand, smiled very kindly: "Don't blame the Crown Princess, she is young and just married the Crown Prince, it's the time when honey is mixed with oil, so she must have a bit of naive temper."

Ever since the Empress Dowager appeared, Concubine Xian had given out dignified and virtuous money, and the sternness just now was no longer seen on her face.

But what he said was a knife handed overtly and secretly.

Zhao Xiwei quickly remembered one thing: She remembered that the concubine Xian was a concubine without a son.

Now it seems that Concubine Xian can get this kind of special care not because of the emperor's favor, but because she has found the backing of the Queen Mother.

At this moment, she also understood why Concubine Xian wanted to make a fuss - to put it bluntly, Concubine Xian was a pawn of the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, no matter how reasonable she is today, no matter how obedient she is, the queen mother will not let her go.

Fang Jieyu was dragged out, so she is the one being dealt with now.

That being the case, why is she silently backing down?
Zhao Xi gave a slight smile, and followed Xianfei's words and continued: "Thank you, Queen Mother and Xianfei, for your suggestions, but Rong Chenqie makes two points first. First, Fang Jieyu did not recognize the identity of the concubine, The concubine didn't argue with Fang Jieyu at all, and the concubine even said that this incident should have never happened, and it was Fang Jieyu's reluctance that caused such a big disturbance."

"Secondly, the concubine did not intend to punish Fang Jieyu. After all, Fang Jieyu is someone who serves His Majesty. No matter how naive and ignorant the concubine is, she will not even understand this rule. Take a step back , if the concubine is really wronged, His Royal Highness will naturally come forward to make decisions for the concubine, and the concubine can't afford to make trouble with Fang Jieyu over such a trivial matter."

After speaking, he stepped aside.

The attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, and there is no panic or fear in the expression.

Zhao Xiwei never took the initiative to provoke people who were unhappy with him.

However, it doesn't mean that she will flatter you unconditionally - not only will you not get the other party's pity, but it will make the other party look down on you even more, and hurt you more recklessly, until you are trampled on the soles of your feet forever.

She doesn't want to be such a poor thing.

"You have your own prince to make decisions for you?" The queen mother finally set her eyes on Zhao Xiwei's face, but it was cold, like a poisonous arrow on a blade, about to pierce his eyes in the next moment.

Xue Liu, who was kneeling next to her, trembled.

In stark contrast is Zhao Xiwei.

She met the Empress Dowager's gaze, and her voice was as clear as a morning breeze: "Husband and wife are one body, if the concubine is wronged, the prince, as the husband, will naturally be the master for the concubine."

The Empress Dowager's face twitched uncontrollably, and it took a long time to say a few words coldly: "You are very confident."

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone: "The concubine is not confident in herself, but in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Saying this, there is a taste of arrogance and arrogance.

But Zhao Xiwei didn't care anymore.

Anyway, the queen mother will not let her go, so what else is she afraid of?

Even if she took the money of being virtuous and virtuous, and performed a humble and submissive posture, wouldn't the Queen Mother still want to find fault?

Concubine Xian's smile froze.

Even Xueliu and Huang Siniang, who were kneeling on the ground and dared not make a sound, couldn't help but sneak a look at Zhao Xiwei from the corner of their eyes.

Is the princess too bold?

Huang Siniang clenched her heart tightly, the matter was all caused by herself, if it wasn't for speaking for herself, how could the crown princess be made things difficult by the queen mother?
