Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Prince Xuan walked out and saw Concubine Shu and the Emperor sitting at the main seat, both of them looked unhappy.

Chu Mengyao sat in the first seat below, also with a solemn expression on her face.

However, Concubine De, Concubine Xian and other concubines were not present, and they were probably already left.

And those children are nowhere to be found at this moment.

In the center of the palace, a trembling palace maid was kneeling, obviously terrified.

There were three rows of palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the door, all of them with their heads lowered.

He randomly pointed to a palace maid and ordered, "Go to the side hall and bring Concubine Shen's two maids to accompany her."

After saying that, he found a seat and sat down, quietly watching Concubine Shu try the case.

The palace maid took the order and left.

At this time, the majestic voice of Concubine Shu was heard: "Bingyan, what's going on with this bead?"

Faced with Shufei's harsh questioning, Mingyan seemed a little flustered.

She stammered, "My lady, I really don't know when the beads fell off.

If Aunt Mingwei hadn’t told me that there was a bead missing from my clothes, I wouldn’t have known about it. It was an unintentional mistake and I didn’t mean to harm the concubine…”

Fear and panic flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know why the beads on her clothes fell off.

Concubine Shu thought for a moment and said, "These beads are sewn on with special thread, so it's impossible for them to fall off for no reason.

Has anyone touched your clothes or body today? "

Shufei's words made Mingyan's eyes light up slightly, as if she remembered something.

She said loudly: "My Lady, when the servants were serving the dishes, I tripped over something, but fortunately I was supported by Bingge."

Bingyan lowered her voice when she spoke here, as if she was recalling the details.

"At the time, my clothes did seem to be pulled, but because I was busy, I didn't think much about it."

Concubine Shu frowned, looked at Mingyan and asked, "Are you sure you tripped?"

Bingyan nodded with certainty, "Yes, Madam, I am sure."

At this time, Concubine Shu called out to the door again, "Ice Pigeon?"

A palace maid in the second row outside the door immediately walked in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was just passing by and saw Bingyan about to fall, so I helped her up. I really don't know what was wrong."

Concubine Shu looked at her and asked, "Where are you on duty today?"

Bingge's expression froze, and she replied, "Your Majesty, I am on duty in the side hall today."

When answering this, there was an obvious hint of guilt in his voice.

Concubine Shu slammed the table and asked loudly, "You were on duty in the side hall, so why were you just outside to support Bingyan who was about to fall?"

Bingge was startled by Concubine Shu's sudden attack and immediately knelt down, saying in a trembling voice: "I...I just happened to meet you when I came back from the toilet."

Shufei was obviously not satisfied with her answer. She stared at Bingge with a sharp gaze, as if looking for the fear in her eyes.

After a moment, Concubine Shu suddenly said, "Mingwei, take someone to her room and look carefully to see what's inside?"

"Yes." Mingwei bowed and walked out.

Shu Fei had been staring at her, and when she finally showed a nervous look, she breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the direction was right.

So, Concubine Shu took a sip of the teacup before asking, "Do you have anything to say now?"

Bingge gritted her teeth and shook her head, "My Lady, I don't know what to say. I am truly wronged."

Concubine Shu put down her teacup with a sneer and asked again, "How many years have you been in the palace?"

Bingge hesitated for a moment, then replied, "My lady, it has been ten years."

Concubine Shu nodded and then asked, "So, how much is your monthly allowance?"

Bingge didn't understand why Concubine Shu asked this question, but she answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, five taels per month."

Concubine Shu smiled coldly and said slowly, "Then do you know how much that inconspicuous earring you wear is worth?"

After hearing this, Bingyan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was cold.

However, after just a moment, she calmed down.

She stroked her ears gently, forced a smile, and said, "To answer your Majesty's question, this is a reward given to me by a young lady after I helped her in the Imperial Garden. I don't know how valuable it is."

"Oh? That person is really generous. This pair of cat-ear stones must cost at least one hundred taels!

Tell me, which young lady is so generous? I would like to invite her to meet me and make friends with her."

There was a smile on Shufei's lips, but her eyes were staring at Bingyan coldly.
