Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 15 Dangerous
Concubine Jin's phoenix guard of honor stopped on the straight road of Chaoyang Palace, making the entire jade steps full of court ladies and eunuchs.

"Returning to Master Jin, the new Princess Baoguo was ordered by Wang Shangyi, so the slaves dare not disturb the empress, and ask the empress to forgive me!" Xinyue felt that something was wrong, so she tactfully told Concubine Jin.

"Girl Xinyue, since the new beauty is the princess of Baoguo, she should follow the rules of the palace even more. Besides, the king has made a rule that all new beauties have to be inspected by the palace before entering the palace. Don't you?" Don't you know, besides, the new beauty has just entered the palace, and the girl under her hand ran into me in public, wouldn't this embarrass me?" A long voice of reproach came from the wind curtain.

"If you come back to Master Jin, you should let the princess of Baoguo make a clean slate." Xinyue almost begged.

"Sister Xinyue, what's going on? It's not our fault, Axi just said one more word, so it won't be that serious, right?" Bao Si asked Xinyue in a low voice with a frosty face.

"That's right, you can't say a word in this palace. You have to do what the master tells you to do. If you can't control your mouth, you will suffer." There was an ironic sneer in the phoenix chariot. .

"My lady, I'll take care of everything. Please forgive Axi." Bao Si knelt down bitterly and asked sincerely.

"Okay! If that's the case, then according to the rules in the palace, give the newly recruited beauties thirty sticks, as a warning to others, Xiao Dezi, and take them to the Department of Punishment." The voice in the phoenix chariot was still extremely cold. , like winter frost.

"Your Majesty, please don't, you must not do it. Princess Baoguo is called by the king to summon her personally. If she breaks it, the king will blame her. I'm afraid that the empress and Xinyue will not be able to bear the blame!" Xinyue Yi Hearing the words of the stick, he was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Xinyue, didn't you say that laws and regulations should be respected in this palace? Why can the new beauties overstep?" The bead curtain in the phoenix chariot jingled open, revealing half of Imperial Concubine Jin's glamorous face.

"But, empress, Princess Baoguo is going to meet the king soon!" Xinyue's eyes glistened with tears.

"How about this? Since it is not appropriate to use a severe punishment, and I have to take the queen to deal with the sixth palace, how about a lighter punishment and let the new beauty kneel under the jade steps all night?" Imperial Concubine Jin arrogantly turned to .

"Your Majesty, but..." Xinyue still begged for mercy with trembling voices. "Needless to say, little Dezi, you send a few servants here to supervise, get up and drive!" Still indifferent, the bead curtain was coldly drawn, and the majestic phoenix chariot slowly moved forward surrounded by the maids.

"New beauty, please!" Xiao Dezi stared at Xinyue, Baosi, and Axi with sharp eyes.

Bao Si gently picked up her skirt, and knelt upright in the center of the jade steps, her face like an autumn moon showed no trace of emotion.

"Princess! It's Axi who killed you! Get up, and Axi will kneel for you!" Axi was angry and remorseful, knelt down at Baosi's feet crying, and kept holding onto Baosi's dress.

"Axi, it's okay, you're not wrong, no matter what happens, I will see the king, and I must rescue Uncle Bao!" Bao Si stubbornly frowned.

Xinyue understood in her heart that Concubine Jin was in charge of the six palaces on behalf of the empress. She had always acted coquettishly and foolishly around the king, and she had nothing to fear when she executed any beauty in the palace. "What's the matter, just entering the palace, you will suffer."

"Sister Xinyue, the princess is weak, kneeling in the snow without restraint like this, something will happen sooner or later, please help Sister Xinyue!" Axi carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Baosi's eyes with a silk handkerchief, Helplessly watching Baosi's mouth turn purple, he begged Xinyue heartbreakingly.

"Well, I can't help it!" Xinyue was more anxious than Axi, but she knew that Imperial Concubine Jin had always been lying, and she was afraid that if she rushed to find the king, Baosi would die even worse. , so she knelt there with Axi and Baosi with a tense face.

At this time, inexplicably, pure white snowflakes floated in the sky, flying around like poplar flowers. The temperature dropped even lower, and Bao Si's little hands were bruised from the cold, and her beautiful face was covered in frost.

"Princess!" Axi hugged Baosi into his arms and called softly.

"You two father-in-laws, the weather is not good today. If you kneel down like this again, you will kill yourself. Please, father-in-law, please go back and report to Master Jin!" Xinyue begged.

"Well, Xinyue, you know the consequences of disobeying your mother. Even the queen has no right to pardon her before the time is up!" Xiao Dezi drew his tone.

"Heh heh heh, who gave the order to torture this girl? It's so conspicuous in the heavy snow, do you want the whole Chaoyang Palace to know?" Following a few light coughs, several people were surprised to see that a A young man in his 20s in Chinese clothes, dressed in a sky blue arrow sleeve with his hands behind his back, walked over vigorously.

"My lord! Your Majesty!" Xiao Dezi and Xinyue came to their senses immediately, and hurriedly knelt down before the man in Chinese clothes.

"Get up, I just can't bear it. In such a snowy day, let a thin girl kneel on the ground. How long has she been kneeling?" The man in the fancy dress asked curiously.
