Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 231 Ground Pupa Cicada (3)
This is the first time I have seen Lien's up close since I returned to my original home.Age also carved marks on her body, even deeper than I imagined. The black hair on her temples had already been stained with a few traces of autumn frost. No matter how thick the powder was applied, the lower eye sockets were still deeply swollen.The eyes are still beautiful, but they have been polished and dull by the pain of bereavement.I noticed that her complexion was extremely pale. Although the black hair was covered with gold hairpins and treasures, when I looked closely, there were a few strands of white mixed in, which made it a little messy.

Jinxiu suppressed her smile, stood up, and slightly bowed to Lian Shi in order of seniority, but Lian Shi had to return a complete curtsey.

"Today is the emperor's quasi-empress banquet for all the sisters in the harem, and all the noble ladies to come to watch the world-famous Jun family's new clothes show. Even if my sister has something important to do, someone can come and report it. However, the empress empress, the harem members, etc. Sisters, and all the concubines have been waiting for you alone for a long time? My Yuan family is the most respectful of etiquette, and my sister is an old man in the palace. This move is really against the palace system, and it is suspected of contempt for the queen. It is difficult to be a model for the harem."

The hat was too big, a trace of hatred flashed in Lian's eyes, and the eyes became colder.The young queen was about to speak to persuade her, but an older nun next to her gently tugged at her sleeve, and the queen fell silent.

Lian Shi calmed down, and smiled arrogantly, "What do you want?"

Jinxiu sneered and said, "My sister's memory is getting worse and worse, so it's natural to implement the Yuan family's family law."

Lian raised his swan-like neck high and said loudly: "I am the emperor's first wife, you concubine deserves to touch me?"

Jinxiu showed a strange smile, "Sister is right, my sister is indeed a concubine, but now... only the empress is the emperor's first wife, even you... are just a concubine. "

Everyone managed to see that Lian's face was distorted with sadness.

Jinxiu's tone gradually hardened, and she said sternly: "Sister is so presumptuous, it's really treason."

Jinxiu waved the wide sleeves of her robe, and before the maidservant came to help her, she had already arrived at the middle of the field, she suddenly knelt down to the queen, and said in tears: "I implore the empress to punish Lian for the crime of contempt according to the palace rules. Fifty rods, as a warning to others."

As soon as these words came out, all the women were shocked.No matter how self-cultivated Empress Xuanyuan was in the high hall, sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she involuntarily looked at the nanny beside her.The nanny just fixed her face and nodded slightly to the queen.

The queen coughed lightly, nodded slightly and said, "Quite...play."

The queen's voice was slightly unstable, Jinxiu just smiled softly and said, "Accept the queen's order."

Immediately, two strong eunuchs came to pull Lien Shi over.The two court ladies beside Lian Shi showed their sharp knives and waved back the eunuch, but it was too late to save her, Chu Xi who was behind Jinxiu rushed towards Lian Shi like a ghost.Chuxi's doll still had a pleasing smile on her face, but she quickly shot down the sharp knives in the hands of the two maids in full view, and then mercilessly broke the bones of one of them and twisted the neck of the other.

All the women present were startled and made a mess.

Jinxiu covered her lips and exclaimed: "What a bold Lian Shi, how dare you bring a sharp blade to face the queen!"

I don't know who exclaimed: "The imperial concubine Lian wants to assassinate the queen!"

Lian looked at Yuan Feiyan begging for help, but Yuan Feiyan lowered her eyes coldly, playing with her enamel nail set without saying a word.Lian desperately wanted to call for help, but a group of maidservants rushed in quickly, dragged her palace servants up, covered her mouth, and dragged her down mercilessly.

Lian Shi struggled desperately, the pearls, hairpins and treasures on the black bun fell all the way down, scattered scattered in the Rongbao Hall, until she disappeared, her eyes were always staring at Jinxiu with despair and hatred.

The scene of me and Biying being humiliated in the Rongbao Hall back then came before my eyes, as expected, the feng shui took turns, and the retribution finally arrived today.

The sweat from Queen Xuanyuan's forehead slid down to the tip of her nose. Although the old lady beside her remained calm, her eyes were filled with waves. With her head on the ground, she said slowly in an old voice: "Imperial Concubine Rong, after all, the Lian family has served the Emperor for many years. , if you don’t want to imprison him first, report to the Emperor Ming, and ask the Dali Temple Minister to interrogate, and then deal with it.”

Jinxiu slowly raised her head, her face was full of tears like pear blossoms and rain, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, Madam Yi is very reasonable, but even though we come from a martial family and are girls, we also fight with the Emperor on the battlefield. Killing, but it happened to be a peaceful and prosperous age. How lucky is it to be able to have Queen Xuanyuan's mother in the world, and the blessing of the harem? It must be the concubines and other sisters who worshiped Buddha and accumulated virtue in their previous lives, and the good results were caused by good causes. Therefore, in the harem, you must respect the queen, and you must not carry a knife when you meet the queen, so as to scare Xuanyuan Zong. Lien's action is a capital crime, and he will surely fall into the injustice of the emperor. I beg the queen to stand up and kill this wicked woman. To show the world, the emperor's sincere heart to Xuanyuanzong and the empress."

Jinxiu spoke with sincerity, tears flowed like springs, and all the wives fell to their knees in astonishment, not daring to speak.

In this way, my fashion show turned into a show time for Jingxiu and Lian Shi.

Empress Xuanyuan once again took the lead with difficulty.Lian Shi's screams finally resounded, and the sound was very shocking.Jinxiu waved her fingers as if nothing had happened, the palace performer shook her body and raised her hand with sweat dripping down her face, the elegant music played again, Lian's screams were slowly covered by the moving music of the fashion show, and finally No more sound could be heard.

A group of well-trained models walked in, beautiful and beautiful, with fluttering clothes.However, none of the family members present here has the heart to appreciate the wonderful performance.The queen sat for less than 10 minutes, and left with a straight face on the grounds that she was unwell. Before she left, Jinxiu was allowed to take full control of the decision, and then the most frightened woman also made an excuse to retreat with a pale face. I was the only one who accompanied Jinxiu to watch the whole show with great interest.I think this is definitely the worst time since I held a fashion show, but it is also the one with the most lucrative orders. Jinxiu has ordered all the yarns of Jun's this year.

As a result, none of the ladies complained about any dissatisfaction with this year's royal gift, even though they knew that silk and silk were far less precious than silk and brocade.

That day when Jinxiu made an order to order the yarn, I finally asked for a few cicadas, and Jinxiu replied: "Sister is really good at picking things, this is a rare thing in the world, it can save a life and is worth a thousand dollars , let alone my son's life."

"The King of Hanzhong is now in good health. You have at least ten branches in your treasury. My sister only needs three branches."

I sincerely ask.

Jinxiu looked at me, and said coldly: "Mujin, the emperor has always communicated with foreign countries, and the southern country is plagued by epidemics. I know what you want this cicada flower for, but don't forget, you are now the princess of Jin. And I am also the Vice Empress of the Central Palace, so don't do anything to implicate me, the King of Hanzhong, and the King of Jin. Now we are waiting for sisters, it is only more dangerous than back then. Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us? There were Nanjia County King and Dongxian King in the court before, and Princess Anian, who was favored by the emperor, which one of them was easy to get along with? They wanted to pick out our faults and wished they could eat our flesh and blood. Just like I just dealt with the Lien family like that, otherwise 15 years of work would be ruined."

I was at a loss for words, and left the Rongbao Hall with a cold heart.

Not long after returning to Xifengyuan, someone spread the word that Jinxiu brought the eunuch to reward him.I thought to myself, could it be that Jinxiu changed her mind and secretly gave me golden cicada flowers?
I came to Hualin Road with a glimmer of hope, and saw a group of eunuchs moving a large object.

Changfu, the eunuch next to Jinxiu, wiped his face full of sweat, and said with a high-pitched smile: "The imperial concubine said that this thing was originally owned by the queens of previous dynasties. Therefore, this object is very precious, and the imperial concubine also loves this object deeply, just now I saw that the princess of Jin is very fond of this western glazed clock, as soon as the concubine of Jin left, the concubine sent her servants to bring it to her."

Standing beside Changfu was a tall and beautiful court lady, looking at us with a grin. It was Chuxi who just killed two people in the morning. , Princess Jin is not feeling well, so there is no need to come here specially to thank you."

I numbly rewarded them and sent them away. Under the bright sun, I silently looked at the western glazed clock with my arms folded.Unidentified people walked around excitedly around the luxurious western clock, chirping and admiring it repeatedly.

Later, Qi Fang told me that on the night of May 21st, Jinxiu secretly reported the evidence of the Lian family's crimes to Taizu. Taizu was very angry. Staying overnight in the courtyard, naturally got up late the next day, and Jinxiu intentionally caused the palace servants to insult her on the way, which made her feel depressed, so Lian couldn't bear it in the main hall that day, and Jinxiu took the opportunity In the name of the queen, this long-standing opponent was removed.

And I didn't get the cicada flower in the end, but somehow got the Western glass clock that might have caused my sudden death!
On May 26, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a decree that Jun Mo Wen was appointed as Ziwei Sheren, who was in charge of court procurement. Officials were under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In the first year of Yuanchang, a wife of the great ancestor of the Yuan clan died silently in the harem. However, the Holy One did not blame Jinxiu for coercing the queen to execute the Lien clan. Empress dignity.Soon, it was reported that the Lian family was corrupt and broke the law. In order to seize land, people were killed, and temples were demolished privately. The information obtained by the Xuanyuan family played a major role.The Holy Majesty confiscated the Lian family with grief, and all the father and brother of the Lian family were beheaded for public display. Several family uncles were exiled in the desolate Xiguan. Since then, the Lian family has been destroyed for a hundred years. The supply of military supplies for the decisive battle has made a huge contribution.

People at the time joked: "You have a beautiful face forever, but you only want a son; if you favor the middle palace, you don't care about your background; if a rabbit dies like a dog, the west is cheap and the east is expensive."

Just when we were at a loss, Zhongyan Mansion suddenly posted a post, Pearl, who had been reclusive all this time, invited me to enjoy the newly blooming lotus in the garden.Now is not the season for viewing flowers, and I am naturally not in the mood for petty bourgeoisie.However, Zhenzhu has always been calm and resourceful, and as an old man in Ziyuan, she has always been thinking about Huashan in Dali.Last time I almost went to ask about it, maybe she has a way.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, I came to the General's Mansion in the city.
