first class maid

Chapter 278 Provocation and Frame (2)
Xun Zhen hurriedly instructed the female officials and the rough envoys to return the cloth to its original place, and stepped forward and said, "Miss Liu and Miss Tang are not injured, are they?"

"How do you do things? Clumsy, how did you become the master?" Tang Ruyu scolded angrily.

Liu Xinmei frowned, and wanted to criticize a few words at first, but when she saw Empress Tang coming here supported by the eunuch, she immediately stopped talking and just rubbed her knees supported by the maid.

Tang Ruyu, who was behind the door, continued to scold: "I must report your behavior to my aunt, and let her judge and judge your problems, so that you can't be the master. The maid of honor..."

The sound of "cracking" kept ringing, Tang Ruyu could speak happily, and Xun Zhen also saw the figure of the queen and Concubine Liu De coming together, this time he did not try to rescue himself, but stood there and let himself go. This Tang Ruyu continued to count down.

From the corner of Gu Qingman's eyes, she also saw the arrival of the Empress and Concubine Liu De. This time, she was quieter. Hearing Tang Ruyu's noisy noise, she smiled slightly mockingly. Since she was the empress' niece, she thought that she must be the official of the Eastern Palace. Concubine, how can such a person who doesn't know etiquette convince the public?
Empress Tang's face turned livid as she stood at the entrance of the hall, her niece could be seen from her back, this child was really spoiled by her parents, it was hard for her to give her half-day lessons on purpose when she first entered the palace, She must be more chaste, quiet and elegant, so that she can have the demeanor of a mother, but look at what she looks like now?Shrew?
Under the suggestion of her niece, Concubine Liu De could guess who the girl belonged to at a glance?He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Hey, whose lady is this? She is so energetic that the sound can shake tiles off."

Tang Ruyu saw that Xun Zhen didn't open his mouth to defend himself, and became arrogant, but suddenly heard the banter, turned around and said displeasedly: "Who is laughing at me there? I..."

"What else do you want?" Empress Tang said with a sullen face.

Only then did Tang Ruyu see her aunt's figure clearly, and she knelt down with a pale face, "My niece sees my aunt."

All the daughters pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly stood up to greet the queen and concubine Liu De. Their future is in the hands of the queen, so naturally they cannot be taken lightly. One step closer.

Empress Tang, who has lived in the harem for decades, said that although her virtuous name cannot be compared with the empress who has been famous for thousands of years, even the bitter and mean royal officials couldn't find her fault, so she took this post as soon as she sat down. Today, no one can be shaken.

Passing over his niece majestically, he said in a cold voice: "Although Yu Qin, you have to call me aunt, but this is the imperial palace. This palace is for the sake of the prince, and for the sake of the country's Jiangshan community, so I must choose a qualified person to be the master." Dong Gong is the main concubine, so she will treat her equally, from now on, don't call me aunt, just call me empress."

Tang Ruyu's face was dripping with sweat. Whether this aunt was visiting relatives or visiting the palace, her posture was more upright than anyone else, but she was still kind to her, and it was the first time she spoke so harshly.

Concubine Liu De naturally stepped forward to greet Liu Xinmei lovingly, and listening to Liu Xinmei's weeping voice, her dignified posture was far from Tang Ruyu's clamoring just now. It was obvious that her niece was more maternal than Empress Tang's. style.

Xun Zhen listened quietly to Liu Xinmei's narration, and then stepped forward to salute Empress Tang, "Madam, this servant did not mean to offend, it's just that Miss Tang insisted on the roll of cloth that she eliminated first and was at the bottom. , The servant tripped over other cloth while pulling it out, and knocked over the cloth that was high in the hills, so it hit Miss Tang and Miss Liu." The implication was to accuse Tang Ruyu of being willful and savage.

Gu Qingman raised her head slightly and said, "Empress Empress, what I see is exactly the same as what Xun Zhangzhi said, so I can testify."

Empress Tang's expression was extremely displeased, her eyes slightly reprimanded her niece for being fussy, and after a closer look, Xun Zhen was also involved, and she pretended to take a sip of tea. It's really not worthwhile for Li to confront the prince head-on.

Concubine Liu De inspected Liu Xinmei's injury, frowned and said to Empress Tang: "Your Majesty, this court lady acted recklessly, causing the two daughters to be injured, so she should be punished." The conflict between the prince and the queen, then she will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"That's right." Tang Ruyu whispered fearlessly.

Empress Tang gently put down the tea bowl, glared at her niece, and looked at Concubine Liu De, "Sister Liu, it sounds like jade, isn't it? Man sees it clearly again, Xun Zhen, you are indeed wrong about this matter, and I will let Xu Shanggong punish you later, so this matter is over, and no one can bring it up again."

"Yes." Xun Zhen saluted.

Tang Ruyu's complexion was very ugly, and she had to bow her head and say "yes" under her aunt's high-handed gaze.

Liu Xinmei secretly cried out that it was a pity, but she still responded obediently, just to win a good impression of Empress Tang.

Gu Qingman's eyes lingered on Xun Zhen's body. The more she looked at this woman, the more confused she was. Empress Tang was not the kind of talkative person, so she just glanced at her and didn't pursue it. Now her words to Liu Xinmei began. Take it seriously.

Xun Zhen was the first to salute and lead the ladies of the palace to retreat, not wanting to stay inside for a moment, but it was extremely uncomfortable just for such a short time.

Returning to the Shanggong Bureau full of worries, he reported to Xu You everything that happened in the Chuxiu Palace. Xu You looked at Xun Zhen's tired expression with a half-smile, and couldn't help feeling distressed in his heart, and said in a heavy voice: " Aren't you determined to be with the prince? This is just the beginning, you are already in such a state, Xun Zhen, how many lives do you have to fight them?"

Xun Zhenxin also knew that Xu You did not approve of her and Yu Wenhong's affairs from the beginning to the end, so he slightly puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "If Mr. Shanggong thinks that this will make me quit in spite of difficulties, then you will look down on me too much." It's too small to underestimate the relationship between me and the prince, even if I can't see it, I have no regrets."

Xu You took the roster she handed over, and it seemed that she was going to go all the way to the end, "Then you start to arm your heart from this moment, and you will have to bear more than that in the future."
