Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 18 A Concubine Who Can't Exorcise Evil Spirits Is Not a Good Host!

According to the tacit understanding of the imperial confinement, the concubines who do not have or are inconvenient to be the masters will arrive the earliest, and the masters will arrive at the moment before the queen is packed up.

However, the masters did not arrive at the same time, they set off one after another according to their status - Yun Fenghuang lived in Xuanqing Palace, and the masters of all generations were all important figures in the palace. Naturally not too far.

But because she is only Jieyu now, she can be a little later than the concubines, and she has to appear before Concubine Shu, Concubine Xin, and Mrs. Yaoning, otherwise she will be suspected of arrogance.

So it's not too late to go out, just a few steps out of the Xuanqing Palace, but I saw a group of people in front of them, surrounded by a set of shoulders that looked like clouds and winds, walking along the palace. The road walked slowly.

As if sensing someone coming from behind, the team slowed down as they walked.

With sharp eyes, Xi Jing whispered to Yun Fenghuang: "It's Jia Jieyu, presumably she wants to make way for the empress."

Yun Fenghuang gave a "hmm" and said, "Let's go."

She has nothing to do with Jia Jieyu, even if the other party makes way for her, she doesn't bother to pretend to be intimate.

In the end, the two teams were almost evenly matched, but Jia Jieyu on the other shoulder turned her head with a half-smile and called her: "Sister Mao."

Although Yun Fenghuang didn't intend to pay attention to her at first, Jia Jieyu took the initiative to speak, especially when she saw a person nearly ten years older than herself calling her sister, she thought it was quite interesting, so she asked with great interest: "Is something wrong with my sister?"

Jia Jieyu said: "No, but I saw my sister, so I said hello... By the way, does my sister like civet cats? A couple of civet cats came to my concubine's palace a few days ago, and they just gave birth to a litter of civet cats." There are quite a few kittens with good looks. The concubine thinks that it is better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone. If the sisters in the palace like it, pick one or two to keep. Whether it is to relieve boredom or catch snakes and mice useful."

"My sister accepted it kindly." Yun Fenghuang smiled, "But this palace is fine, the main reason is that Concubine Yun is now in Xuanqing Palace, and my sister also knows that her dowry maid... alas... is a good person ..."

Jia Jieyu hurriedly said, "It's my sister who didn't think carefully."

Having said that, it was still peaceful, but the exclamation of the pickers came from behind the following line, and then someone yelled in pain: "Ma'am, help!"

Yun Fenghuang heard the voice of someone from his palace, turned his head and saw that among the girls who were neatly lined up behind the shoulders, a girl in a light yellow shirt was covering her face and retreating in panic , and not far from her, a civet cat with yellow, white and black hair stood upside down, its back was arched, and it was posing for an attack.

"Go and beat that beast to death!" Yun Fenghuang ordered the accompanying servant without saying a word, and asked, "When did this cat come here?! Why did it attack Cai Nu?!"

"Oh!" Jia Jieyu curled her lips before turning her head, and immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "Sister, you must not—this 'tortoiseshell spot' is a pet that I promised to give to the imperial concubine and empress. I sent it to Yanlan Palace, because it changed places and didn't think about eating and drinking, and the imperial concubine felt distressed, so I let the concubine take it back to the Feihan Palace for recuperation. Take it to Chongchang Palace so that people from Yanlan Palace can bring it to the imperial concubine... This cat has always been the most docile and well-behaved, otherwise how would I dare to give it to the imperial concubine to play with?"

Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "If you are really gentle and well-behaved, why would you attack Cai Nu rashly? Could it be that Jia Jieyu, you have ulterior motives for the imperial concubine, and you did something when you took it back to Feihan Palace, and the imperial concubine followed her?" The emperor's heir has great blessings, but the people in this palace blocked the disaster?!"

Jia Jieyu's face changed slightly, and she lowered her face: "Sister Mao, please be careful! Ji Zhaoyuan is in the same path as before, how dare I do such a rebellious thing!"

While talking, both of them let their shoulders down, got up and walked back.

The girls who were neatly lined up were already in a mess, and the girl who was injured was shocked and frightened, she was wiping her tears, her hands were still covering the wound, but the blood had already flowed to her neck and skirt, and she couldn't help but look around. It is terrible and pitiful.

Yun Fenghuang waved his hand and asked Liu Hong to support him, and said a few words of comfort by the way, before asking the people around him the ins and outs.

Then the people from Xuanqing Palace said that they were walking well, and the cat in the arms of a palace man over there suddenly jumped over and gave Cai Nu a paw!

The people in Feihan Palace said angrily that they were the ones who hugged the cat well, and the girls from Xuanqing Palace took the liberty to reach out and touch it. Because of Jia Jieyu's attitude towards Yun Fenghuang, although they felt I didn't dare to stop it if it was wrong. In the end, it might be that the wrong way of picking women angered the cat. It's not that the cat is ignorant, and it catches people when it gets up... They don't have time to intervene!

"Don't talk nonsense." Seeing this, without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to speak, Jia Jieyu took the lead, "Who doesn't know that Mao Jieyu is the queen's favorite, she is the most disciplined! If so, her palace How could someone like Meng Lang act like this? It must be because you didn't hold the cat well and made the cat uncomfortable, so you attacked people indiscriminately..."

Speaking of giving Yun Fenghuang a blessing, he admitted his mistake with a correct attitude, "Sister, this is because my sister has no way to rule, and I have caused trouble for my sister! After my sister returns, I must severely beat this lowly maid to vent my anger on my sister!"

The palace man who was in charge of holding the cat knelt down and confessed his mistake: "The servant girl deserves to die, I beg the two empresses to show mercy..."

As for the tortoiseshell spot that caused the accident?

As early as when Jia Jieyu carried out the imperial concubine, because of the slight hesitation of the servants, she had already run away under the hint of several palace people in Feihan Palace.

Seeing this situation, everyone in Xuanqing Palace showed an angry and helpless expression. They felt that the matter had come to an end, and I was afraid that it could only be left as it is. After all, it was just a girl who was injured, and Jia Jieyu was a He admitted his mistake again in the explanation, and promised to clean up the person who hugged the cat in the future, what else do you want?

Especially the cat was given to the imperial concubine.

Not only the new recruits, but even Jia Jieyu felt that after the apology was over, it was time for each of them to go to Yanfu Palace.

You can't even ignore asking for safety for such a small matter.

Of course, if someone laughed at Yun Fenghuang for being a coward when paying her respects, even the people in the palace who took the initiative to choose her couldn't protect her... then it has nothing to do with Jia Jieyu.

At most, she put on a virtuous and virtuous air and said a few words, "That's not the case", "You sisters misunderstood", to show that everything was an accident.

As a result, Yun Fenghuang looked at the corner where the cat disappeared and was silent for a moment, then suddenly slapped Jia Jieyu on the face!

She was born and bred in the north, and she was originally taller than girls in the Central Plains and the South. Since she was young, she learned how to bow and horse with her father and brother, and she is much stronger than ordinary girls. Now, under full strength, the defenseless Jia Jieyu The one who was beaten spun half a circle, and directly threw the maid behind her, and the master and servant fell to the ground together!

"... Sister Mao, how dare you?!" Jia Jieyu squealed halfway on the ground, Yun Fenghuang had already lifted up her skirt and stepped forward, kicking wildly, ordering to the left and right while kicking: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you help us, Jia Jieyu, to drive away evil spirits?"

The people in Xuanqing Palace looked at each other, they didn't know why Jia Jieyu was bewitched and needed to exorcise the evil, but Chen Zhu knew the temper of the lord, didn't Chen Sheng just hesitated and lost the position of steward?

Just now when the tortoiseshell spots escaped, their hearts were already a little trembling, and if they were disobedient now, they might not know how Yun Fenghuang would deal with them when he turned around!

So they raised their fists in a daze... It's just that they didn't dare to fight against the lord of the first palace like Yun Fenghuang did, but they were looking for the palace servants of Feihan Palace to practice their hands.

This chaotic battle frightened the terrified girls, who probably screamed and backed away.

But there are exceptions, that is Yi Xing'en, after seeing the situation for a while, he said to the left and right: "As a member of Xuanqing Palace, the master has an order, how can we not obey?"

He was the first to rush out and slap a picker from Feihan Palace—and soon, the pickers from the two palaces also scuffled into a ball!

This section of the road happened to be relatively empty, and there was no one there in the early morning, so the two sides fought back and forth for a long time. In the end, the guard of honor of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin came over one after the other, and found something wrong, and they all got off the chariot. Surprised and angry, he ordered the palace servants to come forward, and it took him a long time to control the situation.

"There's no reason for that! There's no reason for that!!!" Concubine Shu trembled angrily, pressed her hand on her chest, and questioned Yun Fenghuang and Jia Jieyu who were brought to them with livid faces, "As a concubine, you don't want to be dignified and virtuous. Concubine sets an example, but gathers crowds to fight on the road to greet peace, and leads the soldiers to fight like this, how decent!? Do you still have palace rules, do you have empresses, do you have your majesty, do you have empress dowagers, do you have any? Empress Dowager!!!”

"Sister Concubine Shu is the master of the concubine!" Jia Jieyu cried with snot and tears. If she didn't look carefully at the pattern of her dress at the moment, she would have nothing to do with those palace ladies who were pushed to the ground and punched hard. Two things, the hairpin is missing, the clothes are dirty and messy, half of the cheeks are swollen at the moment, the corners of the mouth are still bloodshot, and the disheveled hair looks very miserable, "The concubine did not hold the concubine well The cat, so that the cat violently hurt people, and it was wrong for me to arrest the daughter-in-law of the Xuanqing Palace, but I have already apologized to sister Mao repeatedly, but sister Mao still wants to do something to me... Concubine... ...a concubine..."

She was choked up and couldn't speak.

Concubine Shu frowned, and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Is there such a thing?"

"Sister Jia is probably confused from crying." If you want to talk about the actions of the two palaces, the one who looks the most neat and nonchalant is probably Yun Fenghuang, because the palace people of Feihan Palace dare not touch her, and she is the first to attack. She beat Jia Jieyu forcefully, so she still had her fluttering clothes and her makeup was exquisite. Now she calmly stepped forward and said, "The situation is like this. After Li Cainu, although the concubine felt sorry for the people in the palace, she didn't say anything."

"But Sister Jia took the initiative to tell the concubine that this cat was given to the imperial concubine by her before! And she has a very gentle and well-behaved personality, otherwise Liugong would know that the imperial concubine is happy, how could she send the fierce cat to Yanlan Palace? It’s just that the cat is not acclimatized in Yanlan Palace, so I asked Sister Jia to help raise it for a few days, and today I think the cat is better, so I plan to send it back... But what happened, Sister Jia?”

Jia Jieyu thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right, but..."

"But the concubine felt something was wrong after hearing it!" Yun Fenghuang hurriedly interrupted her, and said loudly, "This is a good cat, she was docile and obedient a few days ago, why didn't she go back to Jiamei's palace for a few days? Alright? I’m afraid I’m bewitched? This cat is bewitched, will sister Jia be in danger too?! So, in a hurry, I thought of exorcising sister Jia... If Sister Concubine Shu doesn’t believe it, she can send People go to the Northland to investigate, where we beat evil spirits, the harder the beating, the better!"

"It's best to hang it on the beam of the house and dip a whip full of barbs in salt water, otherwise, where would the evil spirit be willing to leave if it got onto a human body?!"

Turning her head to look at Jia Jieyu's miserable appearance, she sighed, "It's just that my concubine is a bit merciful after all, and besides, Sister Jia is such a lovely person... Well, I can only do things for Sister Jia." It's come to this point!"

Jia Jieyu almost fainted from the anger, pointing at Yunfenghuang, who couldn't even speak, moved to Concubine Shu and kowtowed again after a while, begging Concubine Shu to make decisions for herself.

"This is simply nonsense!" Seeing this exemplary scene of upside-down black and white, Concubine Xin, who had never liked to be in charge, couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Let's not talk about the important place in the palace, how can there be such a thing? Demons are at work?! Let’s say cats and dogs are living creatures, and changes in temperament are common, so how can they have anything to do with evil spirits?!”

She rolled her eyes angrily, "I still think it's weird that Mao Jieyu suddenly hit someone, should I also send someone to exorcise you?"

Yun Fenghuang admits his mistake humbly: "Sister Xinfei said that my sister is worthy of her family background, and she sees things clearly. My sister is not from a high family background, so I am confused after all. My sister knows that I am wrong. Please ask the two elder sisters to help me a lot. Get to know your younger sister."

After blessing Jia Jieyu, she said in the same tone as when she admitted her mistake before, "Sister Jia, it's all because of my ignorant sister, which is causing you trouble! After my sister returns, she must be familiar with poetry and books. Try not to be so foolish next time!"

Jia Jieyu looked at her, glaring at her, and was about to speak, when a group of people came from behind, the palace servants in front of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin glanced at her, and quickly reminded: "Young lady, it seems that the imperial concubine is here? "
