Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 439
The secrets of the palace are always the most attractive.

The maid is a servant in charge of sanitation in the inner court.When the bell rang, she thought that the nobles had already had a banquet, so she was about to sneak away to the conservatory to be lazy, but she ran into such a scene on the road.

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Are you sure you read it right?"

In the silence of the hall, everyone clenched their cuffs, secretly raised their ears, held their breath, and waited for the coming storm.

"Empress Dowager Mingjian!" The palace servant knelt and climbed a few steps, "When I passed by Yanying Hall, I saw Miss Pei kneeling on the side of the road, her hair was all loose, her jewelry was off, and her clothes..." Tears flowed down her face as she spoke. When he got down, his tone turned into sobbing.

"Speak well!" The Empress Dowager had no patience to hear a palace servant crying, and drank again in a cold voice.

"Yes..." The servant gave her a terrified look, and said hesitatingly: "The clothes, the clothes are also torn..."

"what?"

Everyone looked up in shock.

When the cold wind suddenly picked up, the big red palace lanterns under the corridor suddenly turned dark, and amidst the murderous look, the scarlet lights flew out of the night like streaks of blood, and fell on the carpet and fan, condensing into clusters of red shadows .

In the eyes of the common people, a palace banquet is a gathering of the most honorable people in the whole world. They listen to the most solemn ceremonies and music, watch the most magnificent dances, drink, eat, and smile like heaven. Human, dignified and holy.

But in fact, the people sitting here know better than anyone else that the drama at the palace banquet is more lively than the last one, competition for favor, design, assassination, poisoning... have appeared endlessly in the records of all dynasties.

A glass of thin wine, a spring breeze, the beauty is favored by the heavenly family, and since then she has been honored and favored, full of blessings, and may even be recorded in the annals of history, and her name will go down in future generations...

What's more, when Pei Cairen was still a noble concubine earlier, there was news in the palace that the Pei family wanted to send their daughter-in-law into the East Palace to be the prince's side concubine, but they didn't know why it didn't work out in the end.

At that time, this incident caused quite a disturbance in Beijing. The noble ladies gathered together in private, and they all secretly chewed their tongues. Some said that the Crown Princess was jealous and would not allow the Crown Prince to accept concubines, and some said that the Crown Princess was good at pampering. The crown prince was being pinched to death, and some even speculated outrageously that the crown princess had taken the secret beauty medicine, which made her skin as clear as snow, which made the crown prince fond of it...

The more rumors spread, the more mysterious they became, but almost everyone never doubted one thing, that is the fact that the Crown Princess is the only favorite.

Therefore, these private conversations, whether out of malice or good intentions, are faintly envious.

As a high-ranking noble lady, even if she is well-clothed and well-fed, she still has to sit and watch her husband lean on the green and cuddle up in the red. She has to show that virtuous and virtuous posture, just to obtain a complete and good reputation.

In the cozy afternoon of sipping tea around the stove, some servants hurried in again, and each of them came to their respective masters, whispering something in their ears.

Either the concubine in this mansion is looking for life or death, or the mother-in-law in that family is intriguing.

But the crown princess doesn't have to suffer this kind of grievance.

What she wears on her body and on her head are all the most fashionable and exquisite styles in the whole capital.

The entrance and exit are protected by guards, and the prince supports him when he is angry.

There is no vicious mother-in-law, no tricky sister-in-law, no unscrupulous sister-in-law, not to mention that seductive concubine.

Such a comfortable and good day, even thinking about it in a dream makes me laugh out loud...

After much deliberation, the ladies felt that only the word "fate" could make sense.

So she could only smile helplessly, and couldn't help sighing: "It's true that she gets all the good things in the world, and the bad thing is that she doesn't touch any of them!"

But at this moment, everyone suddenly felt that it was time to retract those words...

There was a crisp sound of "Kang Dang", and a cup was thrown, bringing everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty—" Concubine Shu exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to help her, but he recovered in an instant, and he swung his arm vigorously, pushing Concubine Shu almost to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The other concubines were also taken aback.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu got up from the ground, before she had time to adjust her makeup, she quickly knelt down in front of the emperor, and said anxiously: "The crown prince is the crown prince you cultivated by yourself, how could you do such a thing!"

She grabbed the emperor's sleeves and tears welled up in her eyelashes: "This lowly maid slandered His Highness the Crown Prince in order to make your father and son divorced. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The emperor rushed off the throne with one stride.

He took two quick steps, then stopped suddenly, raised his arms and shouted: "Where are the imperial guards!"

"The minister is here!" Someone below the steps immediately responded with awe.

"Your Majesty, spare me!" the palace servant screamed, "What I said is true, I dare not lie to Your Majesty—"

The emperor, who has always been gentle and kind, showed a ferocious expression rarely, like a red-eyed male lion, every pore in his body exuded a cruel and ruthless aura.

He looked at the palace slave kneeling in front of him, and burst out a few cold words from between his teeth.

"Drag it! Cut off the ears and nose! Cut it in half and feed it to the dogs!"

"slow--"

Suddenly there was a hurried voice in the hall.

Everyone raised their heads in astonishment and saw the Crown Princess kneeling down.

"Crown princess, this is not the time for you to speak." The emperor turned around, and he, who was immersed in rage, swept his sleeves and said sternly: "Whoever begs again, I will kill them all!"

In the wrath of the emperor, blood flowed like rivers.

It was the first time for Zhao Xiwei to see such a ruthless side of him, which made her feel a little apprehensive.

Concubine Shu also knelt down in fright: "Crown Princess!" Her tone was low and cold, as if there was a faint warning.

"Emperor, the Ai family has a few words to say." After watching the good show for a long time, the Queen Mother seemed to be in a better mood.

The corners of her lips were raised intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a strange light in her eyes. She smiled lazily and said: "When something like this happened, it is normal for the Crown Princess to have thoughts as the prince's wife. Why don't your majesty listen to her?" What? The emperor is partial to the crown prince to such an extent, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince all the officials!"

"Mother—" The emperor didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, and he coughed violently again.

"Okay!" The queen mother smiled until the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, and she raised her hand to press down, "What did the princess want to say just now?" She laughed to herself again, "Oh, I want to say it, the prince Concubine, don't be wronged, the responsibility for this is yours! If you had kept those beauties in the East Palace and served the prince with all your heart and comfort, how could such an accident happen?"

"..."

Everyone in the hall couldn't hold back their faces.

The Wang family really has no foundation... Even in a position like the queen mother, the words are still so vulgar and ugly.

However, no matter how unrefined, no matter how vulgar and ugly, they have to endure it silently.
