The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 372 Come on

Qin Liuse couldn't explain what she felt in her heart, because she didn't take Liu Yiyi's words to heart.

But if there was originally a layer of fog, now after hearing Yuan Jiuer's words, it was as if the clouds in the mountain had been cleared away, and the true face of Mount Lu was seen, as well as the true face of Liu Yiyi.

He is really just bragging and calling himself fat.

I became a joke without knowing it.

No wonder he always likes to show off in front of me these days. It's true that the less you have, the more you like to show off.

Qin Liuse curled up the corners of her lips and smiled. She did not play Tai Chi with Yuan Jiuer in a superior manner, but said to her directly with a smile in her eyes, "I know what you mean."

There are many things that can be said but cannot be fully expressed. Yuan Jiuer knew that her meaning was understood by her, so she also smiled.

After arriving at the hunting ground that day, the emperor only rested for one night. The next day, he rode non-stop and went straight into the mountains.

It was not until the last morning that they packed up the tent and returned to the hunting ground amid the sound of horse hooves.

During that period, although Langjun was not at the hunting ground, people still brought carts of prey down the mountain every day.

As for the women, they could only get news about their husbands through the people who came back every day to pick up prey. Every day they were told that the husbands went deeper into the mountains and the prey they picked up was rarer and more ferocious.

Yuan Jiuer also heard it from her husband. She said that when they were in the mountains, Emperor Yongjia was like a bloodthirsty man. He chased his prey relentlessly for three days for the rare sable fur.

Yan Shouyu was naturally willing to risk his life to accompany him. After all, he was a man of blood, and the autumn hunt only happened once in a long time, so he naturally had to enjoy himself.

After returning to the mansion, when they were alone with their husband and wife, Yan Shouyu said that he felt that Emperor Yongjia must have been in a bad mood during those days, which was why he was so bloodthirsty, so he released him.

However, Yan Shouyu was just guessing, so Yuan Jiuer naturally wouldn't tell Qin Liuse.

Yuan Jiuer suddenly thought that this time Emperor Yongjia did not bring Qin Liuse, but took Liu Yiyi to the hunting ground. However, at the Qianqiu Banquet today, Liu Yiyi's seat was not near the front, and Emperor Yongjia did not give her any different look, so she wondered if the Imperial Concubine and Emperor Yongjia were having a quarrel.

She originally thought that the Imperial Concubine would be happy after knowing this, but now it seems that she is very calm. For a moment, Yuan Jiuer thought that she was misjudged.

It seems that the Imperial Noble Consort did not care much about the fact that she was not the one accompanying Emperor Yongjia to the hunting ground.

However, no matter whether Qin Liuse cares or not, there are always other people who take this matter to heart.

"Did she say that?" asked Emperor Yongjia.

In the imperial study, Zhu Wanxi bowed his head and replied with a humble look, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"Just now, I went to the Langyue Hall to deliver tea for the emperor, and I heard a few words. After I came out, I asked the maids and eunuchs serving in the hall, and then I learned the whole story. I came back and told the emperor."

There were so many eunuchs and maids serving in the hall, and they were not just standing there. Each and every one of them was Zhu Wanxi's spies, and even more so Emperor Yongjia's spies.

"What was her reaction?" asked Emperor Yongjia.

This "she" is different from the "she" just spoken by Emperor Yongjia. Ordinary people may not be able to understand it, but who is Zhu Wanxi? You can understand it as soon as you hear it.

Zhu Wanxi immediately whispered, "When Lady Liu said that, anyone would think the wrong thing, but the Imperial Noble Consort has always been generous and didn't bother with her. She only said that the mink fur was suitable for making clothes for the Grand Empress Dowager. The Imperial Noble Consort was thinking about our Grand Empress Dowager."

"At that time, we were at the hunting ground. The emperor went into the mountains, and I was the one who served the talented lady and the masters in the hunting ground. Speaking of which, it was I who was too talkative. It was when I was chatting with the talented lady Liu that I told her about the benefits of the mink and fox fur."

Zhu Wanxi was embarrassed. "I didn't expect that this time... the talented lady would learn to say it in front of the Imperial Noble Consort. Fortunately, the Imperial Noble Consort didn't take it to heart, otherwise I would have really become a sinner. I feel guilty in my heart."

In fact, Zhu Wanxi didn't need to say the last part. Although what he said was true, he just told Emperor Yongjia what he heard and saw in Langyue Hall today.

But people always have preferences. Zhu Wanxi chose to say this. Firstly, compared with Liu Yiyi, he liked Qin Liuse better. Secondly, Zhu Wanxi could also see the attitude of Emperor Yongjia clearly, so he naturally followed the Emperor Yongjia's wishes.

Besides, Liu Yiyi was in her own palace earlier, scolding and suppressing Zhu Wanxi's disciple who went to deliver food utensils, and was unreasonable.

After Zhu Wanxi's apprentice came back, he cried to him and said that the things used by the masters in the harem were all allocated by the Shanggong Bureau. He, as a servant, had no say and was just an errand boy.

But Liu Cairen took out her anger on Shu Yuexuan by punching and kicking him because the tableware was used by Shu Yuexuan.

The disciple was so upset that tears were streaming down his face. Zhu Wanxi listened to it. Although he knew that this was what a servant should endure, he still felt that Liu Yiyi was a little vicious in this matter.

I can't say I hate him, but I have to find a way to vent the discomfort in my heart, and now is the best opportunity.

Emperor Yongjia nodded, tapped the memorials on the desk with his fingertips, closed his eyes, and wondered what he was thinking.

-

At night, when the lights were turned on, Emperor Yongjia and his entourage returned to Chengqian Palace. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Liu Yiyi rushed towards them, crying bitterly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Liu Yiyi cried, "I know my crime, Your Majesty, please don't treat me like this."

Before Emperor Yongjia returned to Chengqian Palace, Liu Yiyi knelt in front of the main hall of Chengqian Palace and put on a show, leaving Qingcao and Qingtao at a loss as to how to respond.

As he walked to the side of Emperor Yongjia, his legs felt weak and he was about to pounce on him.

Emperor Yongjia raised his hand, and although he asked Liu Yiyi to support him, he immediately turned his head and said, "Zhu Wanxi."

Zhu Wanxi immediately stepped forward and supported Liu Yiyi for Emperor Yongjia.

"Liu Cainu, why are you doing this? The emperor asked you to practice in Baoen Temple for your own good. Please don't make things difficult for the emperor."

Zhu Wanxi said nice things but was shaking his head in his heart.

Before dusk today, Emperor Yongjia sent him to Liu Yiyi's palace to announce the decree, demoting Liu Yiyi to the eighth rank of a concubine.

The rank of a Cainu is one level lower than that of Qin Huaijin's imperial concubine, and there is no lowering her rank in the palace.

The Yongjia Emperor's edict stated that Liu Yiyi had no knowledge of the rules and etiquette, violated the taboo of speaking, confused right and wrong, and brought chaos to the harem, so she was demoted and banished to the Bao'en Temple outside the palace to practice Buddhism.

"Liu Cainu, you are going to Baoen Temple to practice Buddhism with your hair shaved off, but it's a good thing! Pray for the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager in the palace. If the Emperor misses you one day, he will bring you back!"

Zhu Wanxi comforted Liu Yiyi verbally, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he might never come back after this trip.

Liu Yiyi understood this logic very well, so she rushed to Chengqian Palace to plead for mercy before leaving the palace.

Thinking that Emperor Yongjia had some affection for her, otherwise he would not have taken her to the autumn hunting, and announced the decree in the afternoon, he must have been angry about the words of the Imperial Noble Consort. It must be that the Imperial Noble Consort was petty and went to complain, so he was so cruel to her.

"Your Majesty, I didn't lie at all when I said those things. I didn't contradict the Imperial Concubine. I didn't do anything!"

Liu Yiyi acted as if she was innocent again. After all, the words she said were really ambiguous and there was nothing substantial to be heard. It all depended on how the other party understood them.

Moreover, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the Yongjia Emperor had handled the case too seriously, and there was no reason for her to be demoted just because she had said a few words.

Emperor Yongjia pulled his sleeve out of her hand and said calmly, "I can't control you if you lie to others, but forget it in front of me."
