Leisure days in the cold palace

Chapter 10 Framing
"The little one still has to accuse Mr. Rong!"

I think the palace has always been so interesting.

There is no time for rehearsals and rehearsals, and there must be a specific audience to perform, and even urgently add, delete, and modify lines in many cases.

This naturally has high-quality requirements for the actors in the palace. Not only must they be a qualified actor, but they must also cooperate with their opponents in the performance, and they must also have certain on-the-spot screenwriting skills.

What is in front of me now is a very well-arranged play. The actors lead the main line of the play to the direction they expected step by step. It is really efficient and effective.

"What happened just now, tell them all."

Rong Gui should be the director and chief scriptwriter of this stage play. She is the one who planned this scene, and is monitoring the direction of the whole plot on the set according to her expectations.

And I, as well as Chunxi, are naturally the specific audience for this scene.

Watching is mandatory, and the result of watching it is either the end of the scene where we throw some banana peels and go on stage and mess up, or the play ends according to the script, and the two of us are the fish in the pot.

Lenggong, internal warehouse, theft.

I think the combination of these three words will bring me and Chunxi the consequences, which is naturally lethal.

"The subordinates of the slaves just retaliated in anger because they could not see that the slaves were bullied by Li Shuangwu's master and servant for nothing. But the younger ones have seriousness in their hearts. After all, Li Shuangwu is the former master, and the younger ones still respect him. She didn't dare to offend her, so she didn't dare to offend her. But Chunxi kept beating and scolding the little ones, and the slave's subordinates endured and endured, and in the end it was really... that's how they retaliated."

What a reversal of black and white, I couldn't help laughing while listening to it.As for Chunxi, she was so out of breath that she was almost at a loss for words.

"Sister, what Luo Xiang said is true?"

It can be seen that Mr. Rong is very satisfied with Luo Xiang's script arrangement.Now she should have a certain feeling of winning, but her appearance is still indifferent, not impatient, not even half-inclined, just like a standard outsider.

Facing the situation in front of me, I couldn't help laughing.

This scene is also really interesting. For a person like me who is powerless and self-sufficient even to eat, I have to work so many people to put on a play with great vigor. I wonder if I should feel honored?
I laughed and asked Luo Xiangdao: "You said that your subordinates beat Chunxi, so may I ask, who was the one who beat him?"

Luo Xiang obviously didn't expect me to ask this question, and he didn't understand the purpose of my question.But acting is a complete set, after he was taken aback for a moment, he quickly pointed out a little eunuch under his command, to round out the lie he had told.

So I turned to the person Luo Xiang pointed out, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, can you stretch out your hands for everyone to take a look at?"

The man was obviously taken aback, and looked at Luo Xiang for help.

Luo Xiangyun nodded in a fog.

I laughed when I saw the little eunuch's hands, his hands were white and clean, probably not as good as many women.

"Sister, I just asked you whether what Luo Xiang said is true or not. What is your purpose in asking these things? Some things happen as they happen. If my sister admits it in time, I will look at the old feelings and let the Internet go. , but once things get serious, it’s hard to clean up.”

Rong Guiren finally waited a little anxiously. Of course she understands that this kind of thing needs to be cut quickly, and it is easy to change after a long time.Especially my unhurried questioning just now disturbed her mind even more, making her lose her calmness just now, and ripples appeared in her heart.

And my questioning has achieved my intention, so I simply stopped asking, and said with a smile: "Reporting to Mr. Rong, there is no proof whether Luo Xiang's words are true or false, but my sister, I understand a truth-the effect of force is mutual. I Thinking that Chunxi's face was so red and swollen, Rong Gui couldn't have seen it, and Luo Xiang said that his father-in-law beat Chunxi, so according to my sister's humble opinion, this man's hands should also be particularly red and swollen. But The blame is here. After this father-in-law beat someone, there was no sign of redness and swelling on his hands. Could it be that the father-in-law had practiced some advanced martial arts? If not, how should the current situation be explained? What Luo Xiang just said What is the basis for the truth of the words?"

"Mrs. Li, don't talk nonsense! The little one has never practiced martial arts!"

There are regulations in the palace that clearly prohibit eunuchs from practicing martial arts. If they have learned some boxing skills before entering the palace, they must report it.But if he didn't report it and learned martial arts secretly, he would be kicked out of the palace at least, and at worst he would be sentenced to death.

The little eunuch was taken aback by the hat I took off, and even called out the word "Mrs. Li" in panic.Of course, this sentence also made Rong Guiren's complexion much ugly.

"Luo Xiang, how do you explain this matter?"

Having lived in a high position for a long time, the nobleman has a certain posture of calmness in the face of danger.Especially those of them who are used to power, they only have the big picture in their eyes, and they are never afraid of some small conclusions.Rong Gui would naturally not mind if she could catch the big fish she wanted with a few small shrimps.

So she quickly changed her expression towards Luo Xiang, and looked at him with a slightly cold gaze.

At this moment, in this game, Luo Xiang has become an abandoned child.

"My lord, please forgive me, the little ones are indeed confused! But please take care of your lord, for the sake of the servants doing their best to investigate the theft, please treat the little ones lightly!"

Luo Xiang was also aware of his situation, he looked back at me, his eyes were full of hatred, and then he kowtowed to Ronggui, with a humble and terrified look.

Heh, the people in the palace are really double-faced.

"Luo Xiang, it's nothing more than you lied about the truth to me, but you dare to be rude to my sister. I just sent a message here today, and whoever dares to be rude to Shuang Wu in the future will be to me What disrespect! If the matter reaches Bengong’s ears, don’t blame Bengong for being strict!”

Mr. Rong said these scene words in a high-sounding manner. On the surface, it seemed that he was selling me a lot of face, but how heavy these words are, who wouldn't understand?

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and their voices sounded more like a warning to me.

"Luo Xiang, you guys go to the disciplinary department on your own, and each of you will receive twenty boards." After Rong Guiren finished speaking, he looked at me with a smile on his face and asked, "Is my sister satisfied with my treatment? If my sister It’s also good to punish a few of them by yourself if you don’t feel angry.”

I lightly gave a blessing, and said with a smile: "Everything should be done according to the nobleman's wishes."

Luo Xiang's matter was easily overturned, but I understand that today's highlight is yet to come.

Rong Gui personally went out, if she still can't throw me into the dust as an abandoned concubine, then what prestige does she have in the world?

"My sister's place is indeed a bit deserted compared to the old Jingfang Palace." Rong Gui looked around at the not-so-spacious courtyard, but didn't intend to go in. "How prosperous is the Jingfang Palace where my sister lived before?" It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a carved beam and painted building. It's only natural that my sister can't get used to it for a while. Besides, after taking the name of the lady, the monthly schedule will naturally decrease a lot. My sister must have suffered a lot these days, right? "

"Your honor is serious. My sister, I am just a commoner. This kind of life is like childhood, so I don't think it is hard." I smiled to show weakness.

"Oh?" Rong Gui glanced at me with a smile, "I forgot that younger sisters and sisters in the palace come from different backgrounds... But everyone says that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. If you have any difficulties, you can actually open your mouth to this palace. You and I love sisters, so this palace will naturally help my sister. Besides, the situation in this palace changes most frequently, and it is not that there are no concubines in the previous dynasty. The precedent of being favored, my sister's current situation, naturally don't have to worry too much."

"My sister has gone through life and death, and now she no longer has those thoughts. She only wants to live in this Biquan Palace for the rest of her life. It is good to relax."

"You will enjoy the blessings, unlike us, who are so busy managing this huge company every day that you have a headache." Rong Guiren chuckled, but quickly changed the subject, and said in a serious way: "Sister, these days Here, the palace has been investigating the theft of Neiku, has my sister heard about it?"

"Forgive me, my lord. My sister can't go in and out of the cold palace. I've never heard of these things."

"It's also the same reason," Rong Gui smiled and waved his hands, "But now, His Majesty ordered me to help take care of the internal treasury, and the theft is the most important thing. It's just that the Palace has been investigating for a long time, but Still haven't found any clues... The inner treasury is the foundation of the palace and cannot be easily moved. Although the amount stolen this time is not large, His Majesty was still furious when he heard about it. So the palace has nothing to do now, so we have to let A thorough investigation of people from place to place, that's all. I think my sister has a deep relationship with me in the past, and I will definitely assist me today. Besides, this is to eliminate my sister's suspicion. Come on, good life Search this Biquan Palace."

Following Rong Guiren's order, the dozen or so maids she brought scattered in all directions, squeezed into my small courtyard and searched randomly, like ransacking my house.

And I finally understood Rong Gui's trump card today, heh, if you want to commit a crime, why not justify it?

"It's okay madam, we haven't stolen any Kuyin, they can't find it no matter how hard they look."

Chunxi whispered in my ear, innocently messed up.

I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Now that I have nothing to rely on, facing the offensive given to me by Mr. Rong, how can I find any countermeasures?
"My lord, I found some treasury silver in the backyard with the seal of the inner treasury on it. It is the batch that was lost a few days ago!"

Sure enough, the voice of a court lady resounded in my ears.
