Chapter 238 Made
"It seems that Concubine Xie wanted Concubine Yu to drink some tea, but Concubine Yu refused to drink it, so the two of them started fighting." Chen Xing took a bite of the oil cake and said vaguely, "I got up early and went out for a walk, and happened to meet Xiao Yunzi, and heard what he said."

Chu Liuzheng looked at her and ran from Yiran Garden to the Imperial Hospital for a walk. How early did you get up?

She felt that the truth was that Chen Xing was not in the palace at all last night and only rushed back from the Dark Guard Camp in the morning.

She really guessed it right. Chen Xing stayed up all night last night and dissected several lungs. He finally found out the cause of death of the bodies. He was so excited that he didn't even ride a horse when he came back. He ran back directly using Qinggong.

Chen Xing said: "Xiao Yunzi said that Concubine Xie's arm was broken."

Chu Liuzheng was so shocked that he choked on his porridge. Was the fight so fierce?
Moxiang handed her a handkerchief helplessly and asked for her: "Was it Concubine Yu who did it?"

"No." Chen Xing shook his head. "I asked around and found out that Concubine Xie tripped over the threshold in panic and broke it herself."

It sounds very exciting. Chu Liuzheng wanted to check the system, but thinking that it was getting late and he had to go to Wenhua Palace to work soon, he had to suppress his curiosity and eat faster.

After breakfast, Chu Liuzheng tidied himself up in front of the mirror and went to Wenhua Hall with Yuzhu to take up duty.

Now there are five people in the tea room, so the shifts have become a rotation system. As for how to arrange it, it all depends on the mood of Manager Zhou.

Chu Liuzheng felt that she must have offended this eunuch, otherwise why did she have so many shifts and so little rest time.

Even though she had taken a long sick leave, she didn't have to make it up all at once, right?

Zhou Yuande felt that Miss Liu Zheng had been looking at him with some resentment recently, but he didn't know what was wrong.

How can a confidant who takes the initiative to take on tasks understand the grievances of ordinary workers?
He thought that since His Majesty liked to have Chu Liuzheng waiting by the side, he should schedule more shifts for him, as long as His Majesty was happy. He even secretly regretted that Chu Liuzheng was not a eunuch.

Otherwise, they are master and servant, and their ideas are exactly the same as the emperor's.

This made Chu·Worker·Liu Zheng very distressed. She kept trying to figure out when she had offended Eunuch Zhou. How come she had no recollection of it at all?
Last night, Concubine Xie and Concubine Yu fought with each other... No, the fact that Concubine Yu unilaterally beat Concubine Xie was naturally reported to the emperor, and it was Empress Zhong who came to report it personally.

It was not that she wanted to make this trip, but Concubine Xie went to Changchun Palace early in the morning, sat down and started crying. She cried for about a quarter of an hour and she had to see Empress Zhong severely punish Concubine Yu.

Empress Zhong summoned Concubine Yu for detailed questioning. Not only did Concubine Yu deny beating Concubine Xie, she also said that Concubine Xie wanted to harm her.

The two of them each held their own opinion and argued endlessly.

If it were two different people, Empress Zhong would punish them however she wanted, but since one was Concubine Xie and the other was Concubine Yu, she had to consider it carefully, as it would be bad if the punishment was too lenient or too severe.

After much thought, Empress Zhong decided that it would be better to report the matter to the emperor for handling.

So he came in a sedan chair.

She briefly recounted the incident and added, "They both hold different opinions. I am stupid and do not dare to make a rash judgment. I hope Your Majesty will make the final decision."

[Tsk tsk, Queen, what you mean is that your two concubines are fighting. I can't mediate. You can handle it yourself.]

Chu Liuzheng, who was standing beside her, secretly praised Queen Zhong for her wisdom.

[This one is a new princess who has just entered the palace. The envoys from Gaochang Kingdom have not left yet. Yesterday was her first day in the palace. Even if it is for the sake of the real gold and silver, she should be given some face. The other one has the Queen Mother standing behind her. How dare the Queen, the daughter-in-law, offend the Queen Mother? ]

[The queen is very smart. She will naturally pass the hot potato to the tyrant. Let the tyrant deal with it personally and see who dares to be dissatisfied.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He raised his eyes to look at Queen Zhong across from him and asked, "How do you think we should decide?"

Hearing this, Queen Zhong was surprised.

In the past, His Majesty would give direct orders when encountering such a situation. Why would he ask her today? But since the emperor asked, she couldn't remain silent. She said in a gentle voice: "I think what the two sisters said makes sense. I dare not make rash judgments based on my ears instead of my eyes. Why not call the two sisters here and listen to what they have to say."

[Tsk tsk, are you just passing the buck here? ]

Chu Liuzheng looked at the emperor and empress and felt like he could have a plate of melon seeds.

[In fact, this matter was entirely caused by Concubine Xie herself. The emperor flipped Shao Liyi's card, not Concubine Yu's card. If he wanted to vent his anger, he should have gone to Shao Liyi. But he chose Concubine Yu, who was so stubborn, and forced her to drink tea with added ingredients. She even tried to force her to drink it even though she didn't want to. Did you know that Concubine Yu could slap you against the wall and you wouldn't be able to get off? ]

She really couldn't understand Concubine Xie's train of thought. Why would anyone want to be beaten?
After hearing the whole story, Xiao Jingfan glanced at her. He thought that he still had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have time to see the two people fighting, so he said to Queen Zhong: "This matter was caused by Concubine Xie. Now that she broke her hand, she has learned a lesson. She is ordered to reflect on her mistakes for three days and not to stir up trouble again."

"Noble Concubine Yu has committed an insubordination and is unruly. She will be fined one month's salary and ordered to copy the palace rules ten times. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will also assign two maids to teach her the rules of the palace."

This punishment was lightly revealed. Empress Zhong was surprised, but she still stood up and bowed: "I obey your command."

Xiao Jingfan suddenly thought of something and added, "Shao Liyi has just entered the palace and is not very familiar with the affairs of the palace. You can personally select a nanny to go to Yaohua Palace to teach her a thing or two. She is naive, so don't be too harsh on her."

Don't make the defensive statement too obvious.

Queen Zhong was slightly stunned. Is His Majesty so concerned about this princess of Western Xia?
Chu Liuzheng was also surprised.

[Oh my, the tyrant really has his eyes on the innocent princess! ]

She had been transferred to serve the emperor for such a long time, but this was the first time she saw Xiao Jingfan taking extra care of the concubines in the harem.

[Aiya, don't be too harsh on her innocent nature. Is the tyrant worried that Madam will be too strict and scare her precious little sweetheart?]

Xiao Jingfan was speechless. What the hell is this "baby sweetheart"?

In order to prevent hearing more of his chaotic thoughts, he tapped the table with his fingers and glanced at Chu Liuzheng, "Come here and grind the ink."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

To be honest, I can do two jobs at once, at least the monthly salary can be increased!

Little palace maids have no human rights.

She walked forward resignedly, rolled up the sleeves of her palace dress, revealing a section of her fair wrist, picked up the vermilion ink stick, lowered her head and began to grind it carefully.

While grinding, I muttered in my heart, [More money, more money, more money, more money…]

Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and said critically, "It's too thick, add water."

Chu Liuzheng took a teaspoon and scooped a small spoonful of water, then continued: [Add more money, more money, more money, more money…]

The action of grinding ink is very rhythmic.

But to Xiao Jingfan it sounded like a devil's sound piercing his ears. He frowned slightly and stared at her grinding the ink.

It's been polished like this and you still want to pay more. It's good enough that I don't deduct money.

Queen Zhong was about to leave when she suddenly saw this scene and paused.

Xiao Jingfan noticed that she hadn't left, so he turned around and asked, "Anything else?"

Queen Zhong shook her head and bowed before leaving.

At this time, Xiao Anzi ran in from outside. When he saw the queen coming out, he bowed quickly and then ran into the hall to present a letter to the emperor.
