Chapter 134 It Has Nothing to Do with Others
Qingqing kept talking, and Liu Qiuniang was also panicking. She crawled forward on her knees and cried softly, "Your Majesty, I am really not feeling well. I was just tired from lying down this morning, so I thought of stretching my muscles in the yard. It just so happened that Qin Zhaoyi and the others came. It was all a coincidence."
Qin Liuse thought to herself that this Liu Qiuniang was actually not stupid. Looking at the tone of her voice when she spoke to Emperor Yongjia, there was no resentment or arrogance in her voice as when she spoke to him just now. She was really gentle and graceful.
Emperor Yongjia did not let it go, but motioned Qingqing to continue.
After Qingqing finished speaking, Emperor Yongjia didn't say anything. He just put two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then raised his hand and signaled Wang Leyao's maid to continue.
Liu Qiuniang winked at Wang Leyao and her maid, signaling them not to talk nonsense.
But even if Wang Leyao usually flattered Liu Qiuniang, acted humble in front of her, and looked like she was at her beck and call.
But in front of the big Buddha like Emperor Yongjia, Wang Leyao and her maidservant dared not act rashly. It was like a little demon whose true form was revealed. They dared not lie.
After all, this was just a small matter, but because Liu Qiuniang made such a fuss and it was brought to the attention of Emperor Yongjia, it became a major matter that had to be decided by Emperor Yongjia.
By the time they finished talking, Emperor Yongjia had already finished his lunch.
The green grass held tea for him to rinse his mouth, and the green bamboo held a basin for him to wash his hands.
Emperor Yongjia calmly let the maids serve him. After washing his hands, he took the clean cotton handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped the water droplets on his palms, and threw the handkerchief into the washbasin.
He didn't open his mouth, and the people in the hall held their breath and dared not speak.
Finally, when Emperor Yongjia stood up, he only heard his faint voice floating from above, "There is nothing wrong with what Qin Zhaoyi did at this time, and she even let you off the hook."
When Liu Qiuniang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, as if she had been disappointed.
Then Emperor Yongjia said, "During these seven days, you should reflect on why you committed the crime of disobeying your superiors, and copy the "Instructions for Women" every day and reflect on yourself."
Qin Liuse was so excited that her tail was about to stick up, but in front of Emperor Yongjia, she just restrained herself and kept her head down without saying a word.
Emperor Yongjia was also a wise man. Qin Liuse's punishment on Liu Qiuniang was not severe at all. But some people just couldn't see it clearly. They had to run here and hit the wall before they realized the consequences.
They all thought that they could be favored and special, but they could not see clearly what kind of existence the concubines in the harem were in Emperor Yongjia's heart.
It's just about reproducing offspring and stabilizing the family home, don't cause trouble easily.
On this point, Qin Liuse thought he understood it clearly.
If you want to beg for food from a man, especially an emperor like Emperor Yongjia, instead of thinking about how to compete with other women, you might as well think more about the emperor's preferences.
If you follow his will and don't ask for even a little bit of everything, your life will never be too bad.
But most people just love to compete with each other for beauty, not knowing that flowers come in batches one after another and can never be harvested all, and there will always be young girls queuing up to enter the palace gate.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiuniang raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Yongjia, her chin trembling, looking pitiful, "Your Majesty!"
It was as if she was complaining about her lover, asking why he was so uncaring towards her.
Qin Liuse wanted to laugh when she saw this. At a time like this, she should bow her head to thank the emperor and go back quickly to avoid bothering Emperor Yongjia again.
Liu Qiuniang treated him as her lover, but she didn't know that his lover had countless women.
No matter how passionate it was on the dragon bed, that was all at night. During the day, he was the most noble emperor, and she was just a woman for him to satisfy his boredom.
Liu Qiuniang's eyes were full of charm, but Emperor Yongjia didn't even bother to glance at her.
After saying this, he stood up and went to the bathroom, "Everyone, go away. It's getting late. Go back and have lunch."
After a while, everyone naturally returned to their own nests.
Because of this sudden incident, Qin Liuse didn't even go to Yuxiu Palace. She just waited until she woke up from her afternoon nap and then went to tell Concubine Li about the gift she had given in the morning to give an explanation.
However, Qin Liuse was somewhat surprised by Emperor Yongjia's attitude towards Liu Qiuniang.
Qin Liuse could guess that Emperor Yongjia was being impartial, but even though he had summoned Liu Qiuniang quite a few times recently, he didn't seem to have much regard for her.
Could it be that Emperor Yongjia was really too impatient with the women who caused trouble in the harem?
When she came to her senses, Qin Liuse had already walked to Shu Yuexuan. After lunch was brought into the house, she stopped thinking about these things. After all, she had seven days of peace and she didn't have to see this talented lady Liu.
--
At night, Emperor Yongjia turned over Qin Liuse's sign.
For some reason, going to the emperor's bedchamber tonight gave her the illusion that she was going to meet her teacher.
Perhaps it was because of the incident with Liu Qiuniang today that made me have this strange feeling.
Qin Liuse walked into the inner hall and saw Emperor Yongjia sitting on the Arhat bed with a bamboo slip in his hand.
Although paper books were popular in this dynasty, there were still many ancient books recorded on bamboo slips, so there were also many bamboo slips in Emperor Yongjia's room.
Qin Liuse stepped forward and saluted.
Emperor Yongjia gestured for her to sit down as he did every day.
Qin Liuse stood up and found a stool under the Luohan bed and sat down.
No one spoke for a while. You could hear a pin drop in the room, and only occasionally could you hear the sound of Emperor Yongjia's bamboo slips rubbing against each other.
After a long time, Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse and asked, "My beloved concubine, why are you so quiet today?"
Emperor Yongjia paused, as if he had just found the word "graceful".
Qin Liuse blushed again and again. She really didn't expect that Emperor Yongjia would tease her like this.
Firstly, Qin Liuse's position really didn't allow her to be called "beloved concubine", but Emperor Yongjia had been calling her that since some time ago.
In this room, when love arises.
Secondly, the word "gentle" was probably because Qin Liuse would deliberately find something to talk to him even if she had nothing to say on weekdays.
But today, Qin Liuse had something hidden in her heart, so she naturally spoke less.
Qin Liuse smiled shyly, then raised her bright and charming eyes to look at Emperor Yongjia, "Your Majesty, why are you teasing me like this? I just saw that Your Majesty was reading a book, so I didn't want to disturb him, so I sat down by myself."
Emperor Yongjia stretched out one hand, motioning her to come over, and with the other hand he pulled her to sit next to him.
"Your talking will not disturb me." Emperor Yongjia said.
Qin Liuse thought, isn't it nice to live together quietly like this? But now that Emperor Yongjia has spoken, she can't remain silent.
Qin Liuse thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please don't call me concubine like this anymore. It will be bad if someone hears it."
Emperor Yongjia frowned, as if he was trying to figure out what name she was calling him. After a moment, he sniffed at Qin Liuse's ear and said, "If you heard it, then you heard it. How I call you has nothing to do with others."
