The concubine is extremely cautious

Yixiu Palace, Haitang Residence.

"Is there someone singing next door? Go and take a look. What is my cousin doing?" Lady Wei asked with a frown.

Qiu Shan took the order and hurried out to inquire. After a while, she came back and said, "Concubine Ying is practicing singing in the courtyard. I heard from the palace servants that she wrote a poem and composed a music. She plans to sing it to Your Majesty when he passes by the Imperial Garden to attract His Majesty's attention..."

"This vixen has many ways to win favor." Lady Wei snorted coldly, feeling jealous and envious of her. She immediately had an idea in her mind:

"Let's go and copy down the poem. Do it quietly, and don't disturb her, in case she plays any tricks."

The egg pastry we made last time failed to please the emperor.

Lady Wei thought that this was because Lady Ying was forced by her and did not put her best effort into her work.

This time, she stole it quietly, so there wouldn't be any problems!

……

Dusk.

The emperor passed through the Imperial Garden on the way to Lingxue Pavilion.

Suddenly, I heard a beautiful singing voice.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..."

When Helian Qi heard these familiar words, he immediately told Wang Degui, "Go and take a look."

Wang Degui understood what he meant.

I don’t know which master this is, but he was lucky enough to have heard it from His Majesty.

It seems that Your Majesty will not go to Lingxue Pavilion tonight.

The Holy Chariot is coming.

Concubine Wei, who was singing, immediately bowed and saluted, using a delicate tone: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well!"

Overjoyed!

This vixen's method of seducing the emperor is really effective!

The emperor was indeed attracted to her.

"Where did you get this poem?" Helian Qi raised his cold eyebrows slightly.

Concubine Wei shamelessly said, "This is what I wrote when I was looking at the bright moon."

Helian Qi's eyes instantly turned cold, "Someone, tell Concubine Ning and Lady Ying to come over."

When she heard the name of Lady Ying, Lady Wei became a little panicked.

It's over, it's over!

How did the emperor know that this poem was written by Ying Meiren?

The emperor stopped in the imperial garden and met Lady Wei by chance.

The concubines nearby who heard the news rushed over to join in the fun, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

But when they arrived, they found that in the pavilion, His Majesty was as quiet as water, not saying a word. Concubine Wei was kneeling on the ground, her face full of panic.

This……

It seems like I didn’t catch up with anything good?

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..." Ning Wanyin bowed.

Miss Ying arrived a little earlier than her and was waiting on the side.

Helian Qi waved at Ning Wanyin and said, "Please take a seat. The poem you showed me a few days ago was said to be written by Concubine Wei."

"How is it possible?" Ning Wanyin was shocked. "I was drinking tea with Lady Ying that day and saw her write it with my own eyes."

Wei Yingya also stepped forward to plead, "Concubine Ning can testify on my behalf!"

Lady Wei had just been thinking about countermeasures.

When I saw this scene...

I immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder the emperor was furious. It turned out that he had seen this poem from Ning Wanyin before...

hateful!

But that's okay……

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! This poem was written by me before I entered the palace. Maybe my cousin next door overheard me singing while I was practicing in the palace, and she took it to Concubine Ning and said it was her poem... But it was really written by me... I have witnesses!" Concubine Wei immediately cried out with grievance:

"My mother can testify for me. She has read this poem before."

Helian Qi sneered, "Come here, call Wei's mother."

soon.

Concubine Wei's mother, Lady Weiyonghou, was summoned into the palace.

Although she had never seen this poem, facing the current situation, she immediately knelt down and cried:

"Your Majesty is wise. This poem was indeed written by my daughter... Back then, Lady Ying was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. She relied on her noble status to steal countless poems from my daughter... I didn't expect that after entering the palace, she would dare to deceive Your Majesty like this..."

Once these words were spoken, it seemed that the poems written by Lady Ying before would also be attributed to her daughter.

The concubines around had different expressions.

After Mrs. Wei said this, Miss Ying was in real trouble. How could she prove it?

"Are you sure this poem was written by your daughter? You have to look carefully!" Ning Wanyin pointed to the poem she had just copied.

Mrs. Wei nodded affirmatively, "Yes! This poem was written by my daughter last year."

"Your Majesty, you have to believe me! This poem was really written by me." Concubine Wei cried out in grievance.

The concubines' eyes moved back and forth among the Wei family members.

Now that these two people have different opinions, it is hard to say who wrote this poem.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wei and Marquis Weiyong's wife have insulted the emperor and disrespected him. Please punish them!" Ning Wanyin bowed and asked for instructions.

Lady Wei glared at Ning Wanyin angrily, "What right do you have to accuse me of deceiving the emperor? I was the first one to write this poem!"

"If you insist on saying that you wrote the first half of the poem, I dare not conclude whether Lady Ying borrowed your words. However, I saw your majesty write the second half with my own eyes." Ning Wanyin looked at her with a cold gaze, pausing after each word:

"Lady Wei, you are so bold that you actually stole the sacred words!"

Lady Wei was stunned.

The concubines who were watching the show were also confused.

what?

Was the second half of this poem written by Your Majesty?

Wei Yingya recalled the day when she handed the poem to Ning Wanyin and asked:

"Concubine Ning plans to show it to His Majesty first? Then let Concubine Wei snatch it away. Then it will be proven that she is an impersonator and deceives the emperor."

"She can say that she wrote it earlier than you, but you copied it faster." The person in the main seat said calmly.

Wei Yingya choked, "Then... it seems there is no way to prove that I wrote it?"

"But we don't need to prove that you wrote it."

Wei Yingya didn't understand at first, until the next day, when she got the second half of the poem written by His Majesty.

According to Ning Wanyin's account, she did not tell anyone the origin of the second half of the poem.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could the second half of the poem be a holy poem!" Lady Wei couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Weiyonghou was also confused.

Ning Wanyin raised her lips in a cold expression, "Miss Ying originally only wrote the first stanza to echo my poem, but I am not very talented, so Your Majesty wrote the second stanza."

The concubines suddenly understood. So that's it!

Impersonating the emperor and stealing the holy words is the first such suicidal act since the founding of the dynasty.

Lady Wei's face turned pale, "How could this happen... You deliberately tricked me, it was you!"

Concubine Wei was extremely angry and pointed her finger at Concubine Ying.

"I never said that this whole poem was written by me alone!" Wei Yingya was proud.

Helian Qi had long been annoyed with Lady Wei, and disliked the Wei family, so he said coldly:

"Wei Shi deceived the emperor and stole the holy words, and he is sentenced to death. The wife of Marquis Weiyong gave false evidence and deceived the emperor, and they are equally guilty. Come, drag her away!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..." "Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment..."

Concubine Wei and Marquis Weiyong's wife were so frightened that they begged for mercy in panic.

But to no avail.

Several eunuchs stepped forward and dragged the Wei mother and daughter away.
