Chapter 164 Don't worry, brother, I'll keep my mouth shut.
Su Malagu shook her head.
"Well, I see you have other intentions than drinking.
The one you really want to bring into the Ministry of Punishment is probably not the Crown Princess!"
At this point, Su Malagu changed her tone and pronounced in an unquestionable tone,
"The treacherous slave Jin Jiashi has been disrespectful to the Crown Princess, has repeatedly spoken rudely, has refused to change despite repeated admonitions, has become cunning, and has spoken nonsense. She has violated the palace rules and is guilty of verbal abuse. She will be slapped thirty times on the face immediately as a warning to others!"
As the former head aunt of the Cining Palace, as a former maid of the Empress Dowager, and now the most senior person in the palace, she is qualified to show off her authority by virtue of her age.
Doesn’t this wet nurse boast about her great achievements?
Then they might as well compare and see who can better take advantage of their seniority and make up for their achievements!
Now, those who are on duty in Yuqing Palace are all a group of smart people.
They were quicker to adapt to the situation than anyone else. As soon as they heard Su Malagu's verdict, some were dragged, some were beaten.
Following the suggestion of the palace maids Hezhun Yierha, a group of young eunuchs dragged the wet nurse directly to the gate of Yuqing Palace.
Su Malagu naturally would not think there was anything wrong with having a slap in the face at the palace gate.
After all, this slave was too presumptuous and did not need to save any face at all.
As the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, they don't need to appear on such occasions.
And since He Zhun Yierha had alarmed Su Malagu, she had decided to hide behind the scenes, so she would not go to see the excitement.
Yinreng had no interest in this kind of scene. He just wanted to see if his wife had been wronged, or if she was upset and needed his help to rub her down.
Hehe, he doesn't have any bad intentions, really.
Inside the palace, the young couple were being affectionate with each other, while outside the palace, Su Malagu had already finished reading out the palace rules that must be read before execution.
She took the stick in her own hands, gathered all her strength, and hit the wet nurse in the face who was being held down by four eunuchs.
Snapped--
In just a moment, the nurse's face became red and swollen.
Su Malagu said lightly,
"one time."
"..."
"Jin Jia? Have you forgotten the rules?"
Under Su Malagu's warning, the nurse was unwilling but had to speak up and responded, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your teachings..."
This is the palm of your hand.
Your master is willing to punish you. It is a punishment but also a favor. You must be beaten and you must say thank you every word.
Snapped!
"Two times."
"Thank you, Princess Consort, for your teachings!"
Although it was already night, the Forbidden City was still brightly lit because the banquet had just ended.
The location of Yuqing Palace is very good. All the concubines and servants passing by the six eastern palaces can see Su Malagu, who has lived in the Buddhist temple for a long time. At this moment, she looks like a cold-faced evil god, personally holding a stick to beat the palace servants.
Next to them stood two gods of death.
The Cining Palace celebrates the victory of Geertai, and the imperial court presents Liang Jiugong.
Oh wow.
This is a big deal.
The ladies passing by pretended not to look at him, but every time a sedan chair passed by, one or two palace maids or eunuchs would be left behind.
Those who were familiar with him would secretly step aside and quietly ask the young eunuchs who were on good terms with him in Yuqing Palace.
The eunuchs on duty in Yuqing Palace had to be rotated every month due to Kangxi's mandatory requirement.
After going back and forth like this, it became not difficult for these waiters who begged for food in the Forbidden City to find acquaintances of acquaintances.
After a while, the truth about this slave bullying his master, embezzling money, telling lies, and even alarming the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were pieced together one by one.
After learning the truth, everyone started talking.
One of the young eunuchs couldn't help but said indignantly,
"What a fool! Do you really think the Crown Princess is as easy to bully as those princesses without mothers?"
"Sh-!"
When these words were spoken, everyone around was scared.
Saying such things before the execution ground, aren't you afraid that you will suffer the consequences too?
But the young eunuch was named Dai Er, serving in the imperial court. He was a disciple of Liang Jiugong's disciple. Not only did he have someone to rely on, but he also had the task of gathering intelligence for Kangxi.
Pretending to be arrogant and indifferent,
"Haha, who in this palace doesn't know this truth?"
Sure enough, once these words were spoken, a consensus was reached among some of the courageous young eunuchs.
The so-called more detailed information was revealed at this time.
"He is just stupid and evil. At the Crown Princess's wedding and the enthronement ceremony, which one didn't compare to the Queen's? And he is still trying to show off his power to the Crown Princess? Setting rules?
Do you really think you are the prince's biological mother?
She wants to be the Queen, has the Emperor agreed?"
"Ah?" Dai Er was stunned.
He thought there must be some explosive inside story, but he never expected this...
"Just wait, see you at the mass grave tomorrow."
"That's not the case, is it?"
"How could it be so? Oh, you don't know the details. Just now in the palace, she was about to drag the Crown Princess into the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Ah?" Dai Er was shocked again.
Dai Er's big mouth, wide eyes, and unbelievable look seemed to please the chattering little eunuch.
At this moment he hooked his arm around Dai Er's shoulder and whispered,
"Are you shocked?
Brother, I'm telling you, that nurse is also plotting against the Crown Princess's dowry, saying that the red ginseng used to stew chicken in the Crown Princess's dowry is also hers!"
Dai Er took a deep breath and continued to ask,
"Hiss—what else, what else, brother?"
"She was also very disrespectful to Su Malagu, almost saying something back..."
"explain?"
"You old fool, why don't you follow Empress Xiaozhuang Wen to the underworld? Why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"
Generation 2: ???
At this moment, Dai Er was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
No wonder Su Malagu was so angry that she personally stepped forward and slapped the wet nurse in the face.
If you ask him, this is not the end!
Pulling out this woman's tongue would be considered a light punishment!
"She said that she is the prince's wet nurse, and a wet nurse is more honorable than a biological mother. The prince grew up under her care, so it is not an exaggeration to call her mother. Of course, she can manage the prince's family affairs, and she can also scold the crown princess if she makes mistakes!"
Oh my god!!
Dai Er no longer dared to imagine how furious the emperor would be when he heard such outrageous words.
He echoed fiercely,
"Die well!"
"Yeah, what else can I say? See you at the mass grave."
After saying this, the eunuch belatedly warned Dai Er,
"Don't spread this around. It's a capital crime!"
"Don't worry, brother. I'll keep my mouth shut!"
After saying this, Dai Er quietly hid from the crowd and returned to the Qianqing Palace alone to report.
……
The palace was the most boring place. The more it was like a picture book or a play, the more enthusiastic they were to listen to, discuss and spread it.
Just as the dinner was over, Concubine Yi’s Yikun Palace became lively again.
Concubine Hesheli was somewhat dissatisfied that the Crown Princess could not handle the matter, and she even let several great Buddhas intervene and know about the matter, which brought shame to the Crown Prince Hesheli.
So at this moment, it is inevitable that there will be some weird preaching.
"If you ask me, this Crown Princess is also a worthless person. How could she be looked down upon by a wet nurse? It's really shameful."
Concubine Yi rolled her eyes at this person who had the surname of Hesheli but not the brains of the Hesheli clan, and replied rudely,
“That’s easy for my sister to say.
If the prince's wet nurse came to your palace, would you dare not serve her?
She has raised the banner well. Being half the mother of the prince, doesn't that mean she has the honor of being half the queen?
There isn't even a capable imperial concubine in the palace right now, and we might have to kowtow to her when we see her, hehe."
Concubine Yi has always been domineering and there is no one in the palace whom she dare not confront.
As long as the opportunity was right, she would even criticize Kangxi from time to time.
A flower that can speak eloquently is not necessarily gentle and considerate. A flower with a delicate face like the rose in the royal palace may also be able to understand the emperor's mind.
She has been the favorite in the palace for many years, and her status has never been shaken in the slightest. This is enough to show that her methods are just what the emperor wants.
