Chapter 210: Pretending to be weak, Su Jin is also an expert
While Concubine Jian was teaching Jin Shou, Concubine Xian had already leaned slightly to the side, squinting her eyes and leaning on the armrest of the chair.
Watch the development of the situation with cold eyes.
It was not until he saw Concubine Jian beating someone from the Palace Administration Office that he raised his brows and looked stern.
Concubine Jian is such an idiot!
Seeing Fei Wan came to her later, Concubine Xian ordered in a cold voice: "Concubine Jian, please go down first. You don't need to interfere in what's going on here."
Concubine Jian was somewhat unwilling, but she stopped only after meeting Concubine Xian's stern gaze.
He snorted softly and prepared to leave.
"Empress Xianfei." Fei Wan spoke.
After she stopped them, the two palace maids from the Palace Administration Office continued to surround Concubine Jian, and Xiao Linzi also brought people forward, leaving Concubine Jian with no way to escape.
Concubine Jian's maid angrily said, "What are you doing? Concubine Xian is asking my Concubine to leave!"
The few people didn't answer, but just surrounded him.
Concubine Jian's maids reached out and pushed, and several people were pushed to the ground, but no matter which direction Concubine Jian went, they insisted on surrounding her.
"How dare you be so rude to Concubine Jian!" the maid shouted sternly.
At this moment, Yu Sujin, receiving Fei Wan's eye signal, spoke.
She was shocked and stunned, staring at Concubine Jian and her servant in disbelief.
"How could... how could you... commit such a crime? Moreover, Concubine Jian actually dared to hit someone from the Palace Administration Office? Isn't the Palace Administration Office a training center established by the Emperor Taizu? They are only responsible for teaching concubines and palace maids, yet you can actually hit them in return..."
As Yu Sujin spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Her plain face without makeup looked helpless and aggrieved.
"So, what about the night I knelt outside Changle Palace? My knee hasn't healed yet, I've just been able to walk a little bit, and now I come here to apologize again, what's the big deal? I thought the majesty of the royal family and the etiquette of the palace were inviolable, but it turns out that they treat people differently?
I simply offended the virtuous concubine unintentionally, yet I have to kneel all night long. Concubine Jian deliberately slandered the high-ranking official and publicly punished the people of the Palace Administration Office, yet she was able to escape unscathed..."
She was crying with tears in her eyes and sobbing.
Filled with grief and indignation, she walked directly to Fei Wan and demanded hoarsely, "Your Highness, it was you who ordered me to come and apologize. It was you who said that Your Highness, the Virtuous Consort, was extremely strict with rules and in charge of the harem and would not tolerate offense. So, I have a question: you are also the one assisting in the harem under the imperial decree. Does that give Concubine Jian the right to offend you at will? Your Highness, the Virtuous Concubine, is very strict with rules, yet you turned a blind eye to Concubine Jian's disrespect. Why?"
Fei Wan scolded, "Shut up! If you dare to question the impartiality of Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort again, I will punish you by sending you to the Palace Administration Office to learn the rules again."
Yu Sujin's lips trembled with grievance, and she lowered her head and bowed: "Yes, I dare not do it again."
She retreated, but her silent sobbing showed her unwillingness from head to toe.
Fei Wan thought to herself that this was great.
From now on, I don’t have to cry in public and act weak all the time. There is someone who can take over.
"Empress Xianfei, Concubine Yu has just entered the palace and doesn't understand you. Don't take her words to heart." Fei Wan nodded to Concubine Xian.
The virtuous concubine snorted coldly.
Yu Sujin's accusation had forced her to the point where she had to deal with the matter impartially.
Otherwise, how can she convince others in the future!
At this time she realized that Zhao Guipin had taken her sister to apologize as soon as she arrived, and was extremely careful. It turned out that she was waiting here!
"Concubine Jian, you've indeed been a bit impetuous recently. Since Concubine Zhao wants to teach you, you should go back and review the palace rules carefully. Also, copy the "Rules for Women" ten times and hand it in to me. You have three days to complete it. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
No matter how unwilling Concubine Jian was, she had to bow her head when she saw that the situation was not good.
Fei Wan interjected, "Princess Jian, Her Majesty the Consort has forgiven you and given you a lighter sentence. You must be grateful for Her Majesty's kindness and never do it again. Also, since you hit someone from the Palace Justice Department, you should apologize to her in public."
Directly points out that Concubine Xian protects Concubine Jian.
And added his own treatment.
Concubine Jian could obey Concubine Xian, but how could she obey Fei Wan? As soon as she heard this, she retorted, "Concubine Xian has already spoken. Is Concubine Zhao dissatisfied and wants to change the Empress's order?"
Yu Sujin cried, but she didn't forget to join in the conversation, sobbing, "Empress Jian, Concubine Zhao Gui did not disobey Empress Xianfei's punishment. Didn't you hear that Concubine Zhao Gui asked you to be grateful for Empress Xianfei's kindness? But Concubine Zhao Gui was also ordered by His Majesty to assist in managing the harem. If Empress Xianfei can punish you, why can't Concubine Zhao Gui? Are you disobeying His Majesty?"
Concubine Jian was choked and felt a tightness in her chest.
She glared at Yu Sujin angrily: "Even if I made a mistake, it's not your turn to criticize me!"
Xian Fei's patience ran out: "Jianpin, if you have any objections to Zhao Guipin's treatment, why don't you do it now!"
The servant in the kitchen was still kneeling on the ground, and the important business had not been dealt with, but Concubine Jian just kept pestering him and could not help her. How could she not be angry?
Concubine Jian felt aggrieved.
The virtuous concubine actually agreed to let her apologize to the palace maid in public?!
"...I will never apologize to a slave!" She gritted her teeth and said word by word.
well.
Fei Wan ordered: "Then deal with it according to the palace rules, and do it yourself."
The palace maid from the Palace Administration Office who was called out immediately raised her hand and slapped Concubine Jian in the face.
Then there was another slap, and then another, a total of ten slaps.
Concubine Jian and her servant were held down by the people from the Palace Administration Office and were unable to resist at all.
The palace maid was beaten by Concubine Jian, and she fought back hard, with ten slaps without hesitation.
After the beating, he stood in the hall facing the astonished crowd and said in a loud voice: "Taizu has a decree that anyone who interferes with the teachings of the Palace Justice Department will be punished tenfold, no matter how wrong it is."
This was one of the rules established by Emperor Taizu when he first established the Palace Justice Office. It was designed to ensure that everyone in the palace followed the rules and laws, with no exceptions.
Over the years, the status of the Palace Administration has become lower and lower, and they no longer dare to reprimand concubines. But suddenly, with someone backing them up, they brought out this rule, and no one could say anything.
Fei Wan nodded approvingly at the palace maid: "You did a good job.
"Princess Jian, go back to your palace and reflect on your actions. Remember what the virtuous concubine said. Learn the rules and regulations carefully and copy the "Rules for Women."
The whole hall was in complete silence.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't recover from the scene of Concubine Jian being beaten.
Even Concubine Xian pursed her lips, looked at Fei Wan seriously, and remained silent.
After a long while, Concubine Jian covered her face covered with red marks, glared at Fei Wan and roared, "I will report you to the emperor!"
Fei Wan was calm and composed, and ordered the people from the Palace Administration Office: "You, send Concubine Jian to Chenqian Palace in my sedan chair, and let her file a complaint."
"I'm not going now... Don't touch me..."
No matter how Concubine Jian struggled, she was taken away by the people from the Palace Administration Office.
As to whether she would go before the Emperor, everyone in the hall was curious, but they couldn't follow her to see. For a moment, everyone looked at each other with different expressions.
The Xianfei faction had always included those on good terms with Concubine Jian, and in the past, when they banded together, even the Empress sometimes struggled to control them. But today, Fei Wan suddenly launched an attack, with ill intentions. Since she was currently in high favor and had just been granted the right to assist, no one dared to step forward and offend Concubine Jian over the fallen Concubine.
Besides, even Concubine Xian didn’t support Concubine Jian, so who would bother to do that?
Thus, Fei Wan's majesty was actually maintained.
Everyone was secretly guessing how Fei Wan and Concubine Xian would confront each other next... After all, Jin Shou from the kitchen was still kneeling there!
"Empress Xianfei, why don't you let Jin Shou tell us the details of the investigation so we can make a decision?"
Fei Wan sat in the first chair below Concubine Xian.
With a sincere look on his face, he made an earnest proposal.
