My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 58: Being a Queen is a Lot of Trouble
Bai Ningwei had just stayed at home for a day because of rubella, so the Concubine Shu and the concubines started fighting.
When Huan'er came to Lingqi Palace to report in a hurry, her eyes were almost red with anxiety.
Now the status of the concubines is still undecided, and it is under Xiao Yuan'er's control. After all, the Concubine Shu is the elder, so Xiao Yuan'er cannot interfere.
Now that Huan'er has come to visit, it must be that Xiao Yuan'er was suppressed by Concubine Shu's words.
If I don't come to the rescue, the child will be so wronged.
Bai Ningwei didn't care about her mouth which had not yet fully recovered. She hung a veil and followed Huan'er to the palace.
The palace rules were strict, and the concubines were not allowed to leave the palace before the official selection. It was impossible to stroll around the imperial garden, encounter the emperor, or stand with the empress.
Apart from Bai Ningwei who would occasionally come here to learn about the progress of the concubines' studies, the nobles would not come here unless they had nothing to do.
When we arrived at the place where the concubines of the Ye Ting lived, we saw a lot of people gathered in one place.
From a distance, I could hear Xiao Yuan'er shaking with anger.
"Your Highness, it was an unintentional mistake by Chen Xiunu. You have already punished her. Giving her thirty lashes would be excessive."
"My dear Princess, this country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. A concubine who contradicted a concubine should be punished, not to mention that she broke my hairpin. This hairpin was a reward from His Majesty, a gift from the emperor. His Majesty said that I looked very graceful in it..."
"Shufei, there's no need to tell the princess about your private conversations with His Majesty."
When everyone saw Concubine De coming, they all bowed and greeted her. Their reactions and attitudes were much more orderly than when they saw Concubine Shu.
When Concubine Shu saw this, she couldn't help but frown.
"Everyone, get up. What's going on? I didn't come yesterday, so you guys are just being lazy and not learning the rules?"
Bai Ningwei seemed to be lecturing, but in fact she was trying to help. Sure enough, when Xiao Yuaner saw that it was her, she immediately complained.
"Mother Hui, originally these concubines were studying the palace rules. But then the Concubine Shu came and asked them to demonstrate the rules they had learned in the past few days. Who knew that when they were demonstrating the Wanfu ceremony, the maid next to the Concubine Shu spilled a string of beads, and Chen Xiunu fell down because she was not prepared. She happened to be close to the Concubine Shu, and she frightened the Concubine Shu and took a step back, and the hairpin fell down."
In the end, Xiao Yuan'er was too lazy to call Concubine Shu "Your Majesty".
Bai Ningwei glanced over and saw that the maid of Concubine Shu was holding a hairpin made of colored glass. After it fell, it was impossible to repair it.
"Shufei is getting heavier day by day. Why didn't she go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers and trees when she went out for a walk today? Instead, she came to the Palace. Is there something in the Palace that's worth Shufei's visit?"
The Ye Ting was where palace maids of lower status lived, and its characteristic was that they had plenty of beds. A concubine might have great luck in the future, but until her status was confirmed, she had to live here.
Not to mention that there is no need for Concubine Shu to come here. As long as she has a status, even if she is just a small talent, who would come here to reminisce?
"I am the Consort Shu, so I can't go anywhere in this palace. Why are you the only one allowed to come to the Ye Ting to inspect the concubines, but I can't come?"
Concubine Shu supported her lower back with one hand and stroked her belly with the other, not afraid at all that Bai Ningwei would attack her.
Bai Ningwei naturally wouldn't confront her directly, but instead asked Nanny Qin to go up and slap the senior palace maid hard.
Bai Ningwei would not bring Nanny Qin with her when she went out at other times, but today she brought Nanny Qin with her to help Xiao Yuaner find a place. Unexpectedly, she actually came in handy.
Nanny Qin slapped her and cursed coldly.
"You little fool, you've learned all the rules like a dog. Your Concubine Shu is pregnant with the heir, is this the time to worry? And you dare bring the Empress to this mixed place? If anything goes wrong, you, all of you combined, even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough to compensate."
Shu Fei was so frightened by the beating of her own maid that she couldn't even speak clearly.
"You, you slut!"
"Shufei, be careful with your words. Nanny Qin is the most capable elder around Empress Xiaoyuan."
At the same time, she was a fourth-rank female official appointed by His Majesty himself, and her every word and action was strictly in accordance with the palace rules. She was not an ordinary palace maid who could be scolded or punished at will.
"And what Nanny Qin said is right. Concubine Shu, you really shouldn't have come here so capriciously at this time."
Bai Ningwei directly characterized Concubine Shu's behavior as willful, leaving Concubine Shu unable to justify herself.
Concubine Shu could go anywhere, but she should prioritize the heir and not wander around. Coming here with a pregnant belly and showing off was wrong from the start.
"But the hairpin is broken now. This is a fact. Someone has to be held responsible for this!"
Concubine Shu knew that there was no way to get anything done with Bai Ningwei, so she simply insisted on this point.
She came here to find a way to get rid of the two most threatening concubines.
The official selection would begin in a few days, and she would not be allowed to sleep with the emperor for more than half a year. If His Majesty acquired a new favorite during this period, or even had a new child, her position would certainly be shaken.
So she planned this, to destroy the imperial gift, she could be beaten to death on the spot, but Xiao Yuan'er also came over, not only to stop her, but also called Bai Ningwei. She was really angry.
"Anyone who damages the imperial gift, whether it is unintentional or intentional, will be punished."
Speaking of the matter, no matter how valuable the imperial gift was, it was a matter of honor for the royal family, and Bai Ningwei couldn't defend it. When Xiao Yuan'er heard even she say that, she was so anxious that she wanted to grab her hand.
"However, the degree of punishment is naturally not the same."
After saying that, Bai Ningwei looked at Chen Xiu Nu. She must have been slapped. She covered her cheeks with her hands and lowered her head in tears.
"Since Concubine Shu has taught her a lesson, it's not good to do anything else."
"How can that be possible? Just because she did it unintentionally, can we defy the authority of Heaven?"
Concubine Shu thought Bai Ningwei was finally going to give in this time, but she didn't expect her to come to sabotage her. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Shufei, every concubine who has survived until now has had their family backgrounds thoroughly investigated. Are you questioning this?"
Bai Ningwei's words were somewhat misleading, but the ancients had strict rules and many things could not be said casually, so she was not exaggerating.
After all, those who dared to defy the majesty of heaven were either traitors or remnants of evil. As for concubines, background checks were required from the very beginning, and those who could still remain in the palace were mostly daughters of officials with strong connections. Judging from Xiao Yuan'er's reaction, this Chen Xiu Nu might have once been her study partner.
Concubine Shu also realized that she had said something wrong, but she was the superior and no one would hold her accountable for her words. So she froze for a moment and wanted to continue to emphasize her hairpin.
Bai Ningwei didn't give her a chance.
"Your Majesty has gifted you with at least a hundred or eighty pieces of jewelry, if not a thousand. He gave you these things in the hope that you would wear them, look beautiful, and feel happy. It's normal for something worn on the body to get dinged. Now that you've been fined, it wouldn't be stingy to pursue the matter further."
"You and I are both concubines. Why do you interfere with my punishment of a mere concubine?"
Seeing that Concubine Shu was still stubborn and unconvinced, Bai Ningwei glanced at her calmly. This glance made Concubine Shu feel uneasy and uneasy.
"I'm not interfering with you. I'm trying to pray for the blessing of the little prince in your belly. If you're not convinced, we can go and argue with the emperor."
