Work overtime

Chapter 376
"A businesswoman is not a worthy person. She actually dares to disobey me. What's wrong with me teaching her a lesson? What's wrong with slapping her a few times? She still dares to send people to move the emperor and humiliate me! I will definitely let you The two sisters must die a good death." Concubine Jing cursed bitterly.

I was fined two months' salary. I didn't care before, but now that I'm short of money, it's different. I'm in so much pain that I can't live.

Being punished by kneeling for an hour was not very harmful but extremely humiliating. It was more uncomfortable than killing her.

Write a letter of repentance. If she has anything to regret, it would be better to kill her.

He said harsh words to threaten her not to touch that bitch Jiang Yuebai in the future. This made her feel the most uncomfortable. Life was worse than death.

I wanted to give the bitch a slap in the face.Fortunately, now, the bitch relied on the emperor's support to give herself a backhand attack.

In her heart, the emperor was so partial to Jiang Yuebai today, said so many harsh words that hurt her, and punished her. She not only lost the battle with Jiang Yuebai for the emperor's favor, but also failed to suppress Jiang Yuebai's prestige.

The only comforting thing was that the emperor asked her to think about how to take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and the real power was still in her own hands.

This is enough.

With this real power firmly in hand, the future will be long. Are you worried that you will not have the chance to deal with the two Jiang sisters in the future? !

Concubine Jing felt a lot brighter when she thought about it.

Even if Concubine Jing was punished to kneel down and think about her faults, she never thought about her own faults.

She would never think about the fact that in the eyes of outsiders, what she slapped was not Jiang Yuebai's face, but the emperor's face; it was not that she slapped the emperor's face, but that she used her father, Chen Xiang's face, to show prestige in front of the emperor. , expressing dissatisfaction.

The circuit in her mind is: it's everyone else's fault, it's everyone else's fault, it's everyone else who's sorry for her.
But when Concubine Jing thought about the problem of not having monthly routines for the next two months, she shut herself up.

I had been spending money lavishly before, and the monthly salary from the palace was not enough, so I relied entirely on support from my family.

Now the family has no money to support them. There will be no monthly salary for the next two months. Recently, several expensive jade pieces have been thrown away. Although there is still a little savings, but to maintain the generosity of the past and take care of all aspects of the palace, this money is simply not available. Not enough money.

She was the second-rank concubine of the Ming Dynasty, but she was so "poor" that she had no money to spend.

I'm dying of laughter.

For the first time, Concubine Jing regretted her bad temper.

Instead of thinking about how to run a frugal household or how to be soft with the emperor, she racked her brains to figure out how to get money.

After much deliberation, there is no good way.

In the end, there was only one left, and the unused clothes, jewelry, and other luxuries were sold.

It happened that at this time, Gu Xuan, the attendant of Yongshou Palace, saw that the emperor had left with Rui Concubine, and came to see the situation.

As soon as Gu Xuanshi smiled and crossed the door fence, he bumped into Concubine Jing kneeling in the middle of the room, staring at her fiercely.She immediately trembled all over, her eyes were full of fear, her legs became weak, and she bent over and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty." Her voice was trembling more ridiculously than swinging on a swing.

Concubine Jing said bitterly, "If you dare to spread what happened today, I will sink you into a well."

Waiter Gu Xuan woke up and turned around. When he met Concubine Jing's dagger-like gaze, his scalp went numb. He immediately raised his hands and swore to God: "I swear, I will never tell anyone what happened today. Otherwise, the sky will thunder and strike five times." Thunder bangs, death without a burial place.”

Concubine Jing closed her eyes and uttered one word, "Get out!"

Gu Xuanshi wanted to roll away, but couldn't get up for a long time.The person behind him almost rolled and crawled out.

Biyue locked the palace door and closed the palace door.Accompanying him, he knelt beside Concubine Jing.

Even though the people waiting in the room were all confidants, they still didn't dare to take a breath, they all lowered their heads and stared at their toes.

Li Beichen left a young eunuch standing in the corner of the door to supervise the execution of Concubine Jing's kneeling punishment. At this time, he stood aside with his hands down, hoping that Concubine Jing would not vent her anger on him.

Biyue brought a new cup of tea to Concubine Jing, "My queen, please have a sip of hot tea."

Concubine Jing frowned, took the tea cup and took a sip, then rolled her eyes at the young eunuch, her face showing surprise.

Concubine Jing: "How much longer?" Biyue: "There's still half an hour."

Concubine Jing: "Go and cook me a bowl of blood swallow soup. I'm dizzy."

Biyue: "Yes, empress. I will do it now."

Concubine Jing: "Wait a minute. Go and ask the imperial doctor for me. I feel sick and want to vomit."

Biyue's eyes were full of smiles, and she exclaimed loudly: "Your Majesty, are you happy?"

"When was my last menstrual period?"

"Slave to check."

Biyue ran over with a small notebook in her arms and knelt on the ground. Her hands were shaking so much that she turned to the wrong page several times, "Mother, the last menstrual period was on the first day of February. Today is the fifth day of April. February eighteenth and March tenth. The two slept together once."

Concubine Jing touched her slightly protruding belly, a vague hope rising in her heart.

Her menstruation was regular before entering the palace, but it was always irregular after entering the palace.Sometimes they don’t come for two or three months.Sometimes it comes and goes for half a month.

Even after taking a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, it didn't feel better.The imperial doctor said it very euphemistically, but it was the same as what Jiang Yuebai just said.

It just means that she has a bad temper, and her qi and blood are sometimes hot and sometimes blocked, which leads to irregular menstruation.

But she couldn't help but be angry.

The little eunuch who supervised the punishment of kneeling for the emperor was sweating profusely.

If Concubine Jing is pregnant, if the prolonged kneeling time this time affects her health, I am afraid she will be blamed in the future.If it doesn't affect her and she gives birth to a prince, she will probably be promoted to a noble concubine, and maybe even a queen or a queen mother in the future.

I can't afford to offend you.

The little eunuch weighed the pros and cons and walked quickly to the empress, "The ground is cold, empress. I will help you get up. Don't hurt yourself."

Concubine Jing sneered, and with the help of the little eunuch, she stood up, her malicious eyes deepening.

"What's your name?"

"The slave's name is Baozhu."

"Okay. From now on, you will belong to me."

※※※※※※※※※※

The weather is fine and the breeze is blowing.

April in the world.If you look up, the sun is a bit dazzling.

Li Beichen took Jiang Yuebai's hand and walked to the entrance of Yongshou Palace together. He said to Jiang Jinxiu beside him: "Chun Chang is here. Thank you for coming to send me a message today. You go back to Taorui Palace first, and I and your sister There’s something else.”

Jiang Jinxiu saw this and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. From the last time she accidentally broke into her sister's room and saw them kissing intimately, she knew that the emperor liked her sister very much and had deep feelings for her.

Today, the emperor made the decision for his sister and rebuked Concubine Jing, which made Jiang Jinxiu think that Li Beichen was a courageous hero and not a kind peacemaker, and she fell in love with the emperor even more.

She saluted respectfully and said with a sweet smile, "Concubine, please retire. Your Majesty thanked the emperor for saving my sister. If not for this, Concubine Jing would have suffered a lot from bullying my sister today."

He turned around and saluted Jiang Yuebai: "Sister, I'm leaving now. You have to take care of yourself!"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and stepped forward to hug Jiang Jinxiu, then gently let go: "Jinxiu, I'm lucky to have you today."

Jiang Jinxiu winked at Jiang Yuebai and made an ambiguous face, meaning, sister, you have to work hard tonight.
