Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 21 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (21)
After the eunuch left, the emperor continued to review the memorials, thinking that he should finish his official duties as soon as possible so that he could go to Chengqian Palace to see Liang Qiuli.
However, things did not go as the emperor wished. He had only processed half of the memorials when a commotion broke out outside.
"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to grant me justice!"
Shen Qingyao was even more furious when she saw the eunuch blocking her from entering the Zichen Palace.
She shouted outside without regard for anything else, believing that as long as the emperor heard her voice, he would let her in.
The emperor inside the Zichen Palace frowned as he listened to the sounds outside.
"What kind of behavior is this! Wang Youxi, what are you good for?!"
The emperor's voice was cold and stern, causing Wang Youxi to shudder involuntarily.
Wang Youxi lowered his head, inwardly groaning.
Little did he know that Consort Shen would suddenly try to rush in. He had clearly told her to wait for him to come in and announce her arrival, but Consort Shen refused to listen and said that her matter was urgent and she had to tell the Emperor right now.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shen has arrived."
Wang Youxi had a lukewarm impression of Shen Qingyao, so he didn't offer any explanation or excuse for her.
The emperor was slightly taken aback when he heard that it was Shen Qingyao. Why was she here at this time?
Is it...
The emperor recalled what Liang Qiuli had told him earlier, and it seemed he had forgotten to ask who she had asked to punish.
"Let her in."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, already having some guesses in his mind.
Shen Qingyao, supported by Lanxin, limped in, looking at the emperor with a wronged expression, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Seeing Shen Qingyao's appearance, the emperor became even more certain of his suspicions.
The impression that had finally improved after seeing Shen Qingyao behave herself during this period has fallen back down.
After all, he knew Liang Qiuli's personality. If Shen Qingyao hadn't really gone too far, daring to smash a teacup at Liang Qiuli, he wouldn't have had Shen Qingyao punished.
Clearly, Liang Qiuli had someone inform the emperor beforehand that Shen Qingyao's actions had led the emperor to side with her.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Shen Qingyao thought he was worried about her, so she quickly pretended to sob twice and said aggrievedly.
"Your Majesty, my legs hurt so much. This morning, when I went to pay my respects to the Empress, I ran into Consort Rong."
"Who...who knew that Consort Rong would order her maids to attack me and force me to kneel as punishment? I don't know what I've done wrong to deserve such humiliation."
Shen Qingyao felt that the task to make the emperor prejudicial was that Liang Qiuli bullied her because of her high rank. Ideally, the emperor would demote Liang Qiuli so that she would have to grovel before him in the future.
The emperor frowned slightly upon hearing Shen Qingyao's words, clearly displeased.
Because he realized that Shen Qingyao had deliberately omitted the things she had done to Liang Qiuli, only mentioning the parts that were advantageous to her.
"Consort Shen, do you know that deceiving the emperor is a grave offense?"
The emperor's voice turned colder, and his gaze was fixed on Shen Qingyao.
Shen Qingyao felt a tremor in her heart when the emperor looked at her, and instantly felt a little guilty.
Does His Majesty know something?
"Your Majesty, I...I dare not!"
"If you dare not, then tell me what you did to offend Consort Rong and get punished!"
As soon as the emperor said this, Shen Qingyao knew that the emperor already knew about their past relationship.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure, knelt on the ground, and cried out in tears, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"Your disrespect towards Consort Rong has already been punished by her, so I will not pursue the matter further!"
Wang Youxi escorted Consort Shen back to Qingxi Palace, along with the blood-activating ointment.
After giving instructions to Wang Youxi, the emperor stopped looking at Shen Qingyao.
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Shen Qingyao's face turned deathly pale. However, when she heard that the emperor had bestowed upon her the blood-activating ointment, proving that he still had some affection for her, she wanted to plead a few more times in order to change the emperor's mind.
"emperor……"
"Since you refuse to leave, then..."
This time, the emperor did not soften his heart. Seeing Shen Qingyao's increasingly demanding manner, he felt that Liang Qiuli had not taught her a lesson enough. He paused for a moment and then spoke again.
"You need to be taught a lesson for trespassing into the Zichen Palace. I will punish you by making you kneel for an hour every day for half a month to reflect on your actions."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Qingyao's vision suddenly went black, and she nearly fell to the ground.
She looked at the emperor in disbelief, her heart filled with shock and pain.
Wang Youxi had seen too many times how the emperor softened his heart when it came to Shen Qingyao. He was afraid that if Shen Qingyao said a few more words, the emperor would change his mind.
Therefore, he did not give Shen Qingyao another chance to speak, and immediately ordered the palace maids to help her up and quickly take Shen Qingyao away from the emperor's sight.
……
Chengqian Palace.
Liang Qiuli was slightly surprised when she heard that Shen Qingyao had gone to the emperor to complain but was punished by him.
She ultimately assumed the emperor would only give her a verbal reprimand, since she had already made someone kneel as punishment.
"Ruyu, go and instruct the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that the Emperor likes, and also to stew a pot of nourishing soup. I am going to deliver the meal to the Emperor."
Liang Qiuli gave the instructions.
Ruyu nodded and turned to give instructions.
To be honest, since leaving Zichen Palace and becoming an imperial concubine, this was the first time Liang Qiuli had personally delivered meals to Zichen Palace.
However, the emperor's actions today made her feel much better, and she was willing to give the emperor a little something in return.
In addition to instructing the small kitchen to prepare meals, she also thoughtfully changed her clothes and makeup.
Zichen Palace.
The emperor had only two memorials left when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a palace maid quietly entering the study.
However, the emperor didn't care much. People came and went in the Zichen Palace, so it wasn't strange to have an extra little palace maid.
"Your Majesty, it's lunchtime. Shall we serve the meal?"
The young palace maid lowered her head, her voice was hushed, but it sounded somewhat familiar.
"Ah! Your Majesty!"
The emperor, without anyone noticing, put down the memorial in his hand, reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit directly on his lap.
Liang Qiuli's delicate face was exposed to the emperor's view.
"I wondered if it was someone else, but it turns out to be..."
The emperor didn't recognize her at first, but as Liang Qiuli approached, her unique fragrance wafted out, making him recognize her immediately.
Seeing her dressed in the uniform of the palace maids of Zichen Palace, the emperor recalled the scene of their first time together and was suddenly a little tempted.
"Your Majesty, this servant has only come to invite Your Majesty to dine; this is not in accordance with the rules."
Liang Qiuli naturally saw the longing in the emperor's eyes, but the charade had to continue.
So she gently nudged the emperor and struggled to get off him.
"Rules? I am the rule. If you serve me well, I will reward you handsomely."
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood what Liang Qiuli was up to, and immediately cooperated.
"Really...really? Can I be like Consort Rong in the future?"
Liang Qiuli continued to maintain her persona as a palace maid, cautiously looking up at the emperor with a face full of longing and anticipation.
"That's for sure... but it all depends on your performance."
The emperor reached out and lifted Liang Qiuli's chin, then lowered his head to lightly peck her lips, his eyes full of amusement.
Liang Qiuli lowered her head shyly, her hands tightly clasped together, seemingly very nervous.
The emperor, unwilling to wait any longer, directly sent the person...
"Your Majesty...this servant is afraid..."
"good……"
