The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 22 Demotion and House Arrest
"This palace went through a lot of hardship in giving birth to the royal heir. I was frightened during pregnancy and gave birth prematurely. I haven't left Yikun Palace for a long time. The palace servants around me are also stupid. They actually called Concubine Chun "Concubine Chun". They really deserve to be punished."
Xiang Huayue put down the teacup and spoke slowly. All the concubines present, except Concubine Chun, had witnessed the power of the Imperial Noble Concubine Chen and quickly understood what she meant.
Chun Chan immediately walked up to the Empress, knelt down, and said:
"This servant is stupid, please punish me, madam."
"You disrespected Concubine Chun, so you should ask for punishment from Concubine Chun."
As soon as Xiang Huayue finished speaking, Chun Chan turned around and knelt in front of Concubine Chun.
"This servant is stupid and dull, please punish me, Imperial Concubine Chun."
Everyone in Kunning Palace looked at each other with mockery in their eyes, especially Concubine Shu.
The look he gave Concubine Chun was one of undisguised contempt. It wasn't like he was looking at a concubine in the harem, but rather as if he was looking at a barbarian.
"What are you talking about, sister? I don't know how Yunfu has offended you. I've been in the palace for less than a year and was personally appointed Consort Chun by the Emperor. I've never had the opportunity to meet you before. If Yunfu has done anything wrong, please tell me directly. Yunfu will definitely change."
This was the first time she faced Imperial Noble Consort Chen face to face. She had only heard that she was domineering and overbearing, and even her sister couldn't get any good things from her.
Concubine Chun was a little flustered for a moment and stood straight in the hall. Although she was talking to Concubine Chen, her eyes were always looking at the Queen above her for help.
"Pure Concubine."
The Queen had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Xiang Huayue. Noticing the Queen's increasingly ugly expression, Xiang Huayue raised a faint smile.
"Since Chun Chan was right, then please stand up. The people from Yikun Palace are kneeling in the Empress' Kunning Palace. If you don't know, you might think that the Empress is deliberately bullying me."
The Queen was so angry at Xiang Huayue that she almost vomited blood. How could this woman be so shameless as to talk to herself!
When Chunchan returned to his side, the smile in Xiang Huayue's eyes became even wider.
"It's fine if Concubine Chun is young and doesn't understand, but why didn't the Empress send someone to teach you the rules of this palace?"
"I am the only daughter in my family. My father has been on the battlefield for a long time, devoting half his life to the military of Great Xia. In his youth, he was also a renowned young general. My mother was the Princess Gaoyang, personally appointed by the late emperor. Before she married, she was both talented and famous. Concubine Chun is young, so she may not know that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion has not only produced talented generals, but also beautiful women."
"I don't mind you calling me sister all the time. After all... no one would believe me if I told them. I just wonder if the Empress would feel uncomfortable."
Everyone present understood what Imperial Noble Concubine Chen meant. They didn't expect that being pregnant would make Imperial Noble Concubine Chen even more eloquent.
Killing people invisibly in the name of teaching.
If someone else said these words, Concubine Chun might be able to use her youth to gain some influence.
But Imperial Noble Consort Chen has been in the palace for so many years, and it is true that time can never defeat her beauty.
She was wearing a bright lake blue cheongsam and when she first came in, she caught many people's attention.
Shu Fei, who was closest to Imperial Noble Consort Chen, touched her face silently and kept some distance between herself and Imperial Noble Consort Chen, fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect everyone.
Having said that, even if Concubine Chun was stupid, she could tell that Imperial Noble Concubine Chen was disgusted by her ugliness.
From childhood to adulthood, she was the apple of her parents' eyes. After entering the palace, the emperor and her cousin treated her very well. This was the first time she was humiliated like this, and for the sake of her appearance, which she had always been proud of.
Seeing her look of wanting to cry but not being able to, which made me feel sorry for her, I gave Hua Yuebai a look. There was no shortage of pitiful people in the palace, and it was really annoying to see too many of them.
No new ideas.
"You hold the rank of Second-Rank Concubine, yet you sat in the position of Concubine Shu when paying your respects. I thought the Emperor had given you a higher rank. When you entered the palace, didn't the tutor teach you the principles of respect and order?"
Xiang Huayue's words stopped Concubine Chun from crying. Before she could react, she turned around and looked at the seat where she had just sat, and then looked at Concubine Shu who was sitting next to Concubine Chen. She couldn't help but feel scared.
Before entering the palace, her mother always told her that she had to abide by the rules. She didn't expect that she would make such a big mistake, but no one ever reminded her.
The concubines who usually only knew how to flatter her and say nice things now seemed to be dumb, lowering their heads and not daring to look at her.
Concubine Chun forced a self-deprecating laugh and glanced at her good sister who was sitting high on the throne. She was both virtuous and talented, and she looked graceful and elegant. She felt an unbearable chill in her heart.
Xiang Huayue was still playing with the Hetian jade bracelet in her hand, waiting for Concubine Chun's next words.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Chun knelt down in front of Concubine Shu, speaking earnestly, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
"Sister Shufei, I don't know the rules. I have wronged you these days. I ask to be demoted. Please calm down."
Shufei's family background is ordinary, and she is not as good as the other high-ranking concubines in the harem. Her greatest hope in this life is to raise the eldest princess healthily, find a good husband for her, marry her in the capital, and enjoy a life of wealth and honor.
Concubine Chun's kneeling startled Concubine Shu, who quickly stood up from her chair and reached out to help her.
"Sister Chun Fei, what are you talking about? We are sisters. When have we ever blamed you for anything?"
Xiang Huayue was closest to them. She watched Concubine Chun use a small trick to avoid the hand extended by Concubine Shu, and cried breathlessly.
Concubine Shu is not a fool. Concubine Chun and the Queen are half-sisters, so it is naturally impossible for her to help an outsider.
But it was the first day that Imperial Noble Concubine Chen came to pay her respects after her confinement. If the big show that had finally started stopped with her, Imperial Noble Concubine Chen would definitely not let her off easily.
Concubine Shu didn't want to get involved in this mess. She hesitated for a moment between the Empress and Imperial Noble Concubine Chen with her clear eyes, then knelt down with Concubine Chun.
"Your Majesty, I have always been indecisive. You can make the final decision on this matter."
Concubine Shu has already expressed her position, but Concubine Chun entered the palace the latest and has the least experience. In terms of seniority, there are more than three concubines who are above her.
Six people knelt down in Kunning Palace at once.
They all asked the queen to make a decision.
The queen looked at the culprit who was still smiling, and the taste of blood that she had just swallowed rose up in her throat again.
She was at odds with Concubine Chun and intended to cripple her, but she didn't expect Xiang Huayue to seize the opportunity and cause a commotion when she was paying her respects.
The queen became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes as she looked at Concubine Chun.
When she was at home, whenever she met Concubine Chun, she could never do what she wanted to do. Could it be that now that she is in the palace, she will be implicated by Concubine Chun everywhere?
The Queen drank a sip of tea, took a long breath, and said:
"Concubine Chun violated palace rules and was demoted to a beauty. She is under house arrest for three months and will be moved to a side hall of Zhongcui Palace. A tutor will come tomorrow to teach you the rules."
