Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

Chapter 258: I Didn’t Intently Hit Someone

The people brought by the princess almost filled up the room. As soon as Jingse came in, she sat in the main seat without any courtesy. Seeing her aggressive attitude, Ruyi was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only stand beside the chair and silently signaled to Jingse that this was the place where Ruyi should sit.

Our indifferent Concubine Xian is also very considerate when facing others who are impolite. She is afraid that if she points it out, the other party will feel awkward, so she just reminds them silently.

Ruyi's heart was suddenly pulled. She didn't know why the princess came to the Yikun Palace to cause trouble again, so she asked carefully, "I wonder why Princess Hejing suddenly came to the Yikun Palace?"

"This princess heard recently that Concubine Xian really likes to drink soup." Jingse clapped her hands, and then several palace maids brought the pot.

A row of them were placed on the table in the Yiku Palace, and the pots were opened, all of which were red ginseng and pheasant soup.

Jingse looked at Ruyi with a smile and said, "Empress Xian, please drink."

Ruyi's face changed. After a quick look, she saw that there were seven or eight pots of ginseng soup. How could a person drink that much?

Rong Pei hurried out to stop them, and the two maids beside Jingse were about to subdue her, but Rong Pei suddenly became ruthless and was determined to protect Concubine Xian's dignity at all costs, and accidentally hit one of the maids.

Jingse's gaze then shifted from Ruyi, who was standing awkwardly, to Rong Pei standing beside her.

Rong Pei knew she was in the wrong after hitting someone, and the other side was outnumbered, so she immediately lowered her head and apologized tremblingly, "It was these two maids who started it first. I was just careless."

Ruyi immediately explained for Rong Pei, "Rong Pei didn't mean to hit anyone."

Jingse sneered and said, "Not intentionally? Could it be that my two maids grabbed her hands and let Rong Pei hit her in the face?"

Ruyi lowered her voice and said, "It's not intentional, it's not her intention, it's not her own will..."

Jingse frowned and interrupted immediately, "Okay, let me ask you one question, did Rong Pei hit anyone?"

Ruyi knew that Rongpei was in the wrong, and suddenly fell silent.

"Did our two maids attack her first?" Jingse sneered and said, "It's against the rules to hit someone for no reason in the palace. Concubine Xian was not good at disciplining the palace maids in the past, and you are still doing the same now."

Jingse didn't wait for Ruyi to explain, but said to the nanny beside her, "Madame Li, she hit you, you should pay her back tenfold."

Rong Pei was unwilling to give in. Even though her arms were clamped by two eunuchs, she still looked up at Jingse unyieldingly. Her slightly swollen eyelids showed half forbearance and half resentment.

She only saw the princess sitting on the main seat. Although she was dressed simply, she was beautiful, just like the Empress Xiaoxian whom she saw when she went to send Tang that day.

Rong Pei suddenly felt confused, and she felt as if Empress Xiaoxian was going to punish her. The hot soup that day was only given to Concubine Xian, but Su Lian ignored her, thinking that beating the master was enough, and a dog was just a dog. So Rong Pei escaped.

Seeing Jingse today, Rong Pei was in the wrong for making the mistake, and what happened a few days ago also made her feel afraid, so it was naturally a combination of fault and guilt.

It's really rare that our martial arts master would actually get scared one day.

Rong Pei just let herself be oppressed, and secretly hoped that Concubine Xian could say a few words for her and save her from too much punishment.

But her good master, Concubine Xian, just stood there helplessly, hoping in her heart that Jingse would stop hitting me after hitting her.

The usually strong Rong Pei became a soft strip of cloth, but it was still a tough thorny rag.

Nanny Li was very annoyed by her cowardly appearance.

She was already angry about the death of Empress Xiaoxian. She was the princess's wet nurse and naturally treated the princess as her own daughter. The master and servant of Yikun Palace actually took advantage of the princess's absence to use the death of the Seventh Prince to anger Empress Xiaoxian, causing her to vomit blood and the princess to lose her mother.

In addition, Nanny Li and Nanny Zhao were just trying to stop Rong Pei from knocking over the chicken soup prepared by the princess, but she was slapped for no reason.

At this moment, the princess was strong-willed and willing to support them, so Nanny Li let go and started fighting.

The slap hit Rong Pei's face, just like when she swung her arm and hit Yan Wan's face in her previous life, so loud and so painful.

After a few slaps, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she saw stars. Rong Pei fell to the ground with tears in her eyes.

She was punished, but not as severely as Yan Wan, because Li Ma was a normal person after all, and she would not beat someone to death. But her reaction was not as good as Yan Wan's. Yan Wan was stubborn, she would bite her teeth and take it. Since becoming a concubine, Yan Wan would not shed a single tear in front of someone she hated because of sadness.

She beats and scolds others at will, and treats the palace as a vegetable market when she has a little power. She uses Ruyi's position as her own halo. Such a complacent aunt Rong Pei, the head of the Yikun Palace, has become a paper tiger that breaks with a single poke in this life.

After ten slaps, Rong Pei covered her face and lowered her head. Tears were already streaming down her face. It was so painful that she almost curled up.

"You are the palace maid who went to Changchun Palace to deliver soup to the Empress Dowager." Jingse raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling, and she did look cold.

Rong Pei didn't dare to respond, she could only close her eyes and pray, praying that Concubine Xian would help her out.

Concubine Xian opened her lips, her face cold, and she said with a hint of anger, "It is true that Rong Pei went to Changchun Palace to deliver soup, but Yikun Palace is not the execution ground for Princess Gulun and Princess Jing, and this is not the Ministry of Punishment. How can you dispose of her at will?"

Jingse raised the corners of her lips and said, "Oh? This princess was so focused on Rong Pei that she forgot about you, Your Majesty."

Ruyi stiffened her neck, took a deep breath, and said, "Princess Gulun and Princess Jing have already hit Rong Pei, are you going to hit me again?"

Jingse laughed sarcastically, "How afraid are you, Concubine Xian, that I will hit you?"

Ruyi panicked for a moment, and then she noticed Rong Pei secretly looking up at her. She quickly held her composure and explained, "The emperor will make the final decision. How can the princess represent his will?"

Jingse sneered and asked, "How do you know I didn't mention this to the Emperor?"

Ruyi was distracted. This kind of shameful thing was just a conflict among the women in the harem. Jingse was really something. Did he have to tell the emperor even such a thing?

Jingse lowered his eyes and said, "Give Rong Pei ten more slaps for giving her the inappropriate soup at the inappropriate time."

A little maid brought by Jingse brought a cup of tea and placed it on the table next to Jingse. It was 70% hot, just the right time to drink it. Jingse blew away the hot air on it gently, and said with a smile, "Empress Xian, please drink it, otherwise the soup will get cold."
