Chapter 234 Sanshui’s Persuasion
Donggong Garden is divided into many small gardens. The beginning of September is when the autumn chrysanthemums bloom.
Many chrysanthemums are planted in the chrysanthemum garden. When the flowers bloom, the scenery is beautiful, because noble people often come to enjoy the flowers and they are kept very clean.
In the pavilion resting in the garden, Minglan's face turned a little pale. Rulan blocked Minglan behind her and glared at Li Liangdi.
Li Liangdi looked at Ru Lan with a smile: "Sheng Concubine, the servants around you need to be well disciplined and disciplined. I have a good temper, and I will punish you with small punishments but big warnings. If I offend someone else, But he’s not as easy to talk to as I am.”
When talking about servants, Li Liangdi's tone became a little more intense.
"Yes."
Li Liangyuan next to her smiled and said: "It's normal for people to be beaten to death if they disobey. Although the Sheng family is not high-ranking, they can still be considered scholarly. How come you don’t understand any rules because of your family background?”
“You…” Seeing the two of them singing along, Ru Lan was so angry that she wanted to curse. Ming Lan quickly pulled her back and shook her head slightly.
"Li Liangdi, you have punished me. If the trouble continues and spreads to His Highness, it will not be good for you." Shulan said.
Li Liangdi looked at Shulan, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Shulan is not afraid of a woman she has divorced, but Shulan is pregnant now.
When the officials heard the news, they all rushed over, and she also heard about it.
She is not afraid of Rulan, and she has the confidence to fight Minglan, but she is very afraid of Shulan.
In other words, he was afraid of the child in Shulan's belly.
"What Sheng Zhengbin said is wrong. She said it as if Sister Li was making trouble unreasonably. It would be better if His Highness knew. She was a dowry maid and bumped into Sister Li. Why did Sister Li punish her?" Li Liangyuan retorted.
“What is it better to know alone?”
At this moment, Zhao Xing’s voice came over.
"Your Highness!"
The faces of the women who were confronting each other changed when they saw Zhao Xing coming over, and they saluted quickly.
"No gift."
Zhao Xing waved his hand, walked to the pavilion, and glanced at Minglan.
Minglan's face turned pale, her right hand was holding her left hand, and her palm was slightly red and swollen.
Seeing Zhao Xing look over, he quickly retracted his injured hand into his sleeve.
Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze, sat down, looked at the women and said: "I just heard you talking from a distance, and it seemed that you wanted to let me end the lawsuit. I'm just ignoring you, tell me. Say, what happened?”
"Back to Your Highness, I had nothing to do. I heard that the chrysanthemums were blooming in the chrysanthemum garden, so I came with Li Liangyuan to enjoy the flowers.
The maid next to Concubine Sheng suddenly jumped out from the side and was frightened. The concubine jumped. The concubine scolded her a few times, and she contradicted the concubine. In a fit of anger, the concubine slapped her on the palm of her hand several times.
Unexpectedly, she was actually Sheng Zheng. Concubine and concubine Sheng, they don’t want to argue with me,” Li Liangdi said with an aggrieved look.
"Let go...you are talking nonsense!" Rulan said angrily: "I was not far away. I came over when I heard the noise. From a distance, I heard Minglan apologizing to you. When did he contradict me? You?”
“Sheng side concubines, you are after all...” Li Liangdi hesitated.
Zhao Xing had a headache because of Ru Lan's fussy temper and Li Liangdi's aggrieved look.
Why does it feel a bit like Mrs. Wang and Xiaoniang Lin?
Shaking his head and putting aside these funny thoughts, Zhao Xing looked at Shulan and said, "Shulan, tell me what happened at that time."
"Go back to Your Highness. Concubine Chen is a little angry these days. Minglan said that drying chrysanthemums and making tea is very effective. Lan's apology. I didn't see the specific situation. "Shulan didn't add any exaggeration and only said what she knew.
“Your Highness…”
"I didn't let you talk."
Although Shulan didn't add any exaggeration, the meaning in her words proved that what Rulan said was true.
As soon as Li Liangdi wanted to defend herself, she was stopped by Zhao Xing.
Looking at Zhao Xing's dull gaze, Li Liangdi hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to continue speaking.
Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze, looked at Minglan and said, "Tell me!"
"Your Highness." Ming Lan blessed him and said, "It was my slave who accidentally bumped into Li Liangdi and made a mistake to contradict Li Liangdi. I deserve to be punished."
"Sixth sister, you..." Ru Lan became anxious after hearing this. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Minglan shaking her head slightly at her.
Zhao Xing took a deep look at Minglan, a little disappointed.
"Since the matter has been made clear and the person has been punished, let's leave it like that. If you have anything else to do, I'll leave first." Zhao Xing stood up and left directly.
Since Minglan himself has flinched, what does he care about?
I thought Minglan had changed, but now it seems that it was just my illusion.
She didn't want to say it. Although there was a reason for her cautious temperament, it wasn't because she didn't trust him.
I don’t believe that he would blame Li Liangdi, a concubine with a background, for her as a dowry concubine.
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
The sound of Zhao Xing's footsteps faded away, and the women straightened up.
Li Liangyuan glanced at Shulan Rulan proudly, and when she opened her mouth to speak, Li Liangdi said "leave", turned around and left.
"Sister Li, wait for me!" Li Liangyuan quickly chased after her.
"Sister Li, why are you leaving in a hurry?" Li Liangyuan asked in a low voice after catching up with Li Liangdi.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not care about this matter. They had the upper hand, so they should vent their anger with sarcasm. Zhao Xing rests most often in Zhang Guifen's room.
Next is Yu Yanran and Ru Lan's room. Shulan is similar to them, but Shulan is pregnant and it is inconvenient to serve.
Even when I went to Jinmingchi Villa to stay for a while, I didn’t take them with me.
Zhao Xing is so partial, which naturally makes Li Liangyuan feel very uncomfortable.
"Sister Li, didn't I tell you not to provoke Concubine Sheng Zheng? Just now I ignored Concubine Sheng Zheng when she spoke, but you went to pick her up. What do you mean?" Li Liangdi said coldly.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Li Liangyuan's eyes, and she whispered: "Sister Li, what are you afraid of her for? Now the Crown Princess is not even pregnant, but she has a bad pregnancy. How can she be good? The Crown Princess did not move. She, that is, she wants to wait until she gives birth to a child. If it is a sister, it is fine. If it is the emperor's grandson, does my sister think the princess can tolerate her? "
"Whether the Crown Princess can tolerate her or not is the Crown Princess's business. I told you not to provoke her before, but you still do it. Do you want to use me as a gunman? Do you think you are the only smart one in the world? "
"Sister, I..."
Li Liangdi didn't even listen to her explanation and left directly.
She teamed up with Li Liangyuan and Chen Liangyuan, and she somewhat intended to use them as spearmen.
It’s really ridiculous that Li Liangyuan wants to become a guest.
Just now, Li Liangyuan seemed to want to help her, but she had a vague intention of making things worse.
She is not afraid of Shulan, but Shulan has a big belly. If Shulan gets angry during the quarrel, she cannot bear the responsibility.
“Hmph, you are so brave and still want to compete for favor?” Li Liangyuan looked at Li Liangdi’s back and said disdainfully.
…………
Zhao Xing was a little angry at Minglan’s attitude and did not rest at Zhang Guifen’s place at night. He was alone in the Chaoyang Palace and did not recruit anyone to sleep with him.
After taking a bath and getting ready to go to bed, Sanshui walked in and said, "Your Highness, Miss Sheng Liu wants to see you."
"No, tell her to sleep alone and let her go back." Zhao Xing said lightly.
After hearing the words, Sanshui walked out and came in again after a while, saying: "Your Highness, the servant said it, but Miss Sheng Liu knelt at the door of the palace and said that she would not get up unless His Highness saw her."< br>
"What? Does she want to force her into the palace?" Zhao Xing said coldly: "Since she wants to kneel, let her kneel outside."
After saying that, Zhao Xing put down the tent directly , lay down.
Sanshui was helpless and walked out.
"Miss Sheng Liu, His Highness has gone to bed, you should go back."
"Thank you, Mr. Sanshui, you go and have a rest." Minglan knelt there with no intention of getting up. .
Sanshui still wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Minglan’s firm expression, he sighed and turned around and walked inside.
Talked a few steps and turned back.
"Miss Sheng Liu, I am a servant, and there are many things I shouldn't say. But I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I still want to say a few words. I have been with His Highness for ten years, and His Highness has many concubines, but I don't care about the Crown Princess and you. The most important thing is.
During the day today, I heard that you were beaten by Li Liangdi, and His Royal Highness rushed over immediately. But you...sigh..." After Sanshui finished speaking, he turned around and entered the palace.
"Chief Sanshui, is the door of this palace still closed?" asked the two eunuchs standing at the door.
"Wait a minute." Sanshui said.
…………
Zhao Xing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he sat up and opened the tent.
"Go ahead and call Sanshui." Zhao Xing said to the waiting maid.
The palace maid hurried away after hearing the words, and after a while Sanshui walked in.
"Your Highness." Sanshui saluted.
"Is the person gone?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Go back to Your Highness, he is still kneeling outside." Sanshui replied.
Zhao Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and call her in."
After hearing this, Sanshui withdrew and led Minglan in after a while.
“I have met His Highness!” Minglan saluted.
Zhao Xing ignored her, looked at Sanshui and said, "You all stand down!"
"Yes!"
Sanshui and the maid serving in the room bowed and left.
"What, do you want to force me into the palace? Or do you feel lonely and soft-hearted, so you act recklessly?" Zhao Xing said coldly.
"I don't dare!" Minglan said: "I just have something to say to His Highness."
"Go on, I want to hear what you want to say." Zhao Xing said calmly.
"This slave is just a concubine, and my father doesn't care much about it. She has a legitimate daughter sister and a favored concubine sister, and she is in a difficult situation. Your Highness takes pity on the slave, and the slave is very grateful and happy.
But The slave girl is a little scared, not only because she is afraid that the concubine of the East Palace will be jealous because His Highness is so kind to the slave girl, but also because His Highness is so kind to the slave girl on a whim.
But His Highness is so kind to the slave girl, and the slave girl is willing to be sincere. Serving His Highness.
The reason why the servant did not say anything in Juyuan today is because Li Liangdi's grandfather is now the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has a high position.
If the servant did tell, Your Highness will definitely be punished. Li Liangdi, I don’t want to cause any trouble to His Highness,” Minglan said.
