Chapter 30: Punctuality is a quality, but I don’t have it

The morning mist has just dissipated and the morning dew is thick.

Following the sound, he pulled Su Feiran up from the bed, put a sky-blue jacket on her, and put a lotus-shaped jade bracelet on her wrist.

This looks like a human being.

Substitute!

Yuxiao took over and pressed the yawning Su Feiran in front of the dressing table. She combed her hair, applied powder, drew eyebrows, and applied flower ornaments... After the whole transformation, Su Feiran still looked listless, but the exquisite makeup made her look like a frail beauty who was drowsy.

Today I have to go and pay my respects to Concubine Jia. The eunuch from Chitang Garden came to tell me last night. However, Su Feiran has been lazy these days. Not only does she get up late, but she also walks slowly. When she arrived at the gate of Chitang Garden, the dew on the crabapple tree had evaporated completely.

Su Feiran looked up at the sky; the sun was already high in the sky.

She was definitely late.

What made Su Feiran feel at ease was that there was a group of familiar people standing at the door.

When Su Feiran came closer and took a look, he couldn't help but smile - everyone was late without any prior arrangement.

Except for Yang Luoxiu, the other concubines were wandering and hesitating in front of the Chitang Garden, discussing whether they would be reprimanded by Concubine Jia if they entered the palace at this time.

When everyone saw Su Feiran arriving late, those who were on good terms with him went to greet him.

Xie Zhiqi was the first to greet them. "We came so late today. We will definitely be scolded later! When we return to Zichen Palace, you have to continue your lecture, otherwise I will die of heartache!"

Upon hearing the speech, Song Chengpei, a talented woman from Jing, and Zeng Wenxin, a noble woman from Zeng, also came over and said, "When will Liu Ronghua give a speech? You guys in Zichen Palace eat so well, don't leave us behind!"

Su Feiran was not familiar with Song Chengpei and Zeng Wenxin, but in recent days, Su Feiran's storytelling became famous, and these two concubines who loved to go to crowded places also came to listen to him and became Su Feiran's loyal listeners. After a few visits, the three of them became familiar with each other.

Lin Xiuqing also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't just think about yourselves. It depends on Liu Ronghua's own intention whether to speak or not."

That’s right!

Su Feiran yawned loudly and wiped his face without caring about his image.

What kind of story is this... She hasn't even woken up yet! If she returns to Zichen Palace, the most important thing is to close the curtains, extinguish the candles, lie down on the bed and sleep soundly!

Rao'er, the gatekeeper of Chitang Garden, ran over and whispered something to Zhima behind Xie Zhiqi. Zhima's face suddenly changed, and he relayed Rao'er's words to Xie Zhiqi.

Su Feiran was chatting with several concubines when Xie Zhiqi suddenly pulled her away and said hesitantly, "Let's go in. If we are any later, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just a few words of reprimand from Concubine Jia."

Su Feiran was a little panicked at first because she was late, but when she was late with so many people, she felt relieved.

——The law does not hold everyone responsible!

Just go in!

Su Feiran led the way into Chitang Garden, followed by a group of concubines who had arrived late.

After entering the palace, Su Feiran finally understood why Rao'er had come to remind Zhima. Wu Jiayan, who was sitting on a high chair in front of the palace, had a gloomy face, staring at the concubines who came in one after another without saying a word, like a volcano ready to erupt.

Yang Luoxiu had arrived early and was standing aside with a mysterious smile on his face.

After everyone had arrived and exchanged greetings, Wu Jiayan slowly said, "Please sit down."

Everyone sat down, but Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to sit. She stood in front of Wu Jiayan, bowed and said, "Recently, the sisters in the palace have been preparing for the shareholders' meeting. Maybe they are a little tired, so they are a little late. Please forgive the sisters' mistakes, Lady Jia."

Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, keeping her posture of bowing without moving. She apologized to Wu Jiayan on behalf of all the concubines, but Wu Jiayan did not forgive her, nor did he punish her severely. He just quietly looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was bowing her head in front of him, without saying a word.

The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

Without Wu Jiayan's pardon, Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to stand up, and the concubines were even more terrified, not even daring to breathe.

Maybe the incense in Chitang Garden was a little heavy today, or maybe it was the backlash between Su Feiran and Wu Jiayan. The air in the hall was already so thick that it was almost suffocating, but at this moment, Su Feiran felt an itch in his nose and sneezed violently:

"Ah!"

The sneeze scared Lin Xiuqing so much that he trembled all over, but he still didn't dare to look up.

Wu Jiayan slowly shifted his gaze away from Lin Xiuqing and looked at Su Feiran who was wiping his nose with a towel.

Su Feiran didn't know if it was an illusion, but Wu Jiayan's face seemed to be even worse.

“Empress Xian,” Wu Jiayan spoke slowly, not emphasizing each word, but speaking with a sense of gnashing teeth, “The people in your palace are quite outstanding.”

Lin Xiuqing bit her lower lip and defended Su Feiran, "Liu Ronghua just couldn't control herself, and she didn't mean to disrespect you."

"It's hard to control yourself..."

Wu Jiayan chewed over these four words. She glanced at Lin Xiuqing and Su Feiran, but could not see any genuine remorse on their faces.

Suddenly, the anger accumulated in her heart was like magma suppressed underground. Once it found a crack, it exploded like a fountain!

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. The more you indulge her, the more she will be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Now that she has made a big mistake, how can we be sure that it is not the fault of you, the master of Zichen Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuqing fell to his knees with a plop.

Concubine Jia was really angry!

The concubines had different expressions, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to face Wu Jiayan.

After all, they were also part of the latecomers. Su Feiran was the first to bear the brunt of the anger, but he was just the first to be shot.

Su Feiran also knelt down hurriedly. It seemed that Wu Jiayan wanted to take his anger out on her, and she was sure that she would not be able to avoid a scolding.

"Liu Ronghua, I will punish you to kneel down and recite scriptures in the Thousand Lights Buddhist Hall. You are not allowed to stand up until you have knelt for three days and three nights!" Wu Jiayan ordered coldly, "Rao'er, you must go with Liu Ronghua with my ruler for these three days. If she reads a word wrong, you must hit her with a stick. If she is lazy in any way, you must not give her any food!"

Su Feiran looked up in shock - not being allowed to eat, what a harsh punishment!

The concubines were also very surprised. Su Feiran was just late and sneezed. Was it necessary for Concubine Jia to punish her like this?

Su Feiran swallowed her saliva and argued, "Your Highness, I know I am wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment. But if I have to kneel for three days, won't I miss the shareholders' meeting tomorrow night? Recently, the sisters have been preparing for the shareholders' meeting, so it is normal for them to be tired. Your Highness can see that all the sisters are late, so why punish me alone?"

It would be better if you didn't say this, but it will be bad once you say it.

Wu Jiayan's face turned from a drizzle to a heavy rain, so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

"Liu Ronghua, do you think I punished you just for these trivial matters?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Jiayan stood up, walked past Lin Xiuqing, and slowly came to Su Feiran.

Su Feiran felt a powerful aura gradually approaching. When she looked up, she met Wu Jiayan's cold gaze.

"I wanted to save your face and not point out your mistakes. But you kept pushing it too far and I couldn't stand it anymore."

If looks could kill, Wu Jiayan would have killed Su Feiran from the inside out dozens of times. But even after Wu Jiayan said this, Su Feiran was still confused.

Besides being late and sneezing, what else did she do wrong?

Could it be that she was favored by the emperor? Did she offend the previously favored Concubine Jia?

Wu Jiayan saw through the confusion in Su Feiran's eyes and laughed angrily: "You did such a shameless thing and you are still unaware of it. It seems that my punishment is too light. Three days and three nights may not be enough for you to reflect on your own mistakes. You can still think about going to the shareholders' meeting to please the emperor."

So what did I do wrong!!!

Su Feiran was still confused.

She didn't expect that Wu Jiayan's next words would be like thunder and lightning, instantly knocking her out:

"The concubines in the back garden belong to His Majesty. You are deliberately trying to seduce a foreign guest, which is a serious crime!"
