Chapter 644 Settling Accounts One by One

Princess Li refused to accept it, and said: "Empress Dowager, it's fine if it's the concubines. Concubine Jin is not in good health. If she is asked to leave for half an hour, isn't it a crime? How can this become a bribe for life? Besides, the carriages of Yanxi Palace are rampaging outside, it is the fault of Yanxi Palace's slaves, how can we blame Concubine Jin and the concubines?"

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "You said that you entered the palace to pay your respects, but did you kneel down to pay your respects when you came in? When you came in, you just gave an explanation. Could it be that you are guilty, what are you explaining?"

Princess Li is the kind of person you can't understand me, okay, come out and walk around twice, let's fight, she is really not a master of talking, hearing her say that, she couldn't justify herself for a while, her face turned into a pig liver color , only know how to stare.

"The prince is here!"

It always seems to be like this, whenever there is an unsolvable dilemma, this master will fall from the sky.

Indeed, Prince Li's law.

Because the prince does not need to enter the palace to pay his respects, this is to regulate married women, as for the prince, he can also enter the palace to pay his respects, but there is no regulation.

Today, Prince Li just happened to enter the palace to look for the emperor, and sent Concubine Jin here. He didn't want to come in, but if he didn't come in, he would feel uncomfortable, because, the rules are like this. It's the empress dowager again, so she has to come in to pay her respects.

However, when he came to the door and heard these conversations, he was immediately furious, but he also kept the etiquette and asked someone to pass the word before he came in.

After entering the palace, he also greeted him politely, and then he stood up and said: "Empress Dowager, just now the king heard the noise outside, Concubine Jin was hit today, and she didn't forget to come in to say hello even in shock. Empress Dowager, what you have to do is to greet her first to show your sympathy, and then listen to their explanations, and then investigate the people who ran into Yanxi Palace's errands. From my king’s point of view, it’s targeting people.”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "I heard that the Prince of Li has always understood the etiquette and is thoughtful in everything. How come he picks on Ai's family when he enters the palace today? Isn't this also the way of benevolence and filial piety?"

"Then the empress dowager wants to talk about it. What did this king do wrong? Where did he lose his manners?" Prince Li said straightforwardly.

The empress dowager was at a loss for words for a while, just now he entered the hall, and he greeted him, it was indeed not rude.

She said lightly: "If you know etiquette, you won't lose face in front of so many people."

"The number of etiquette is nothing more than a word of reason. If you only use the number of etiquette without reason, it is the same as paying homage without a bridal chamber, and you can't be regarded as a decent couple."

Although this metaphor is a bit harsh, it seems to be the same.

After listening to Prince Li's words, everyone felt a little relief in their hearts.

The empress dowager became furious, "Then do you think it makes sense for the Ai family to forgive them for being late?"

"They were late for a reason, and they explained the reason clearly, and being late was not a serious crime, why did they use the word "rao"? The empress dowager's words were inappropriate, and she didn't understand the way of tolerance, which really disappointed me."

Some concubines were already secretly laughing, and the empress dowager glanced sharply, and there was a sudden silence.

"Also," Prince Li didn't intend to let it go so easily, "The last time I heard about Chen Taijun being punished to kneel, this king was furious after hearing that. Without her, how could our Murong family be stable? Chen Taijun was born in the army, and he is a bold person, but he has to use palace rules to restrict her. She is not a member of the palace. She doesn't have to abide by these rules. Fortunately, the old lady said a few words in total, and she was convicted of a crime of disrespect. Regardless of her old age, she was punished to go out and kneel. This king wants to ask, which country's empress dowager would treat him like this Heroes of war generals? If this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, even if the emperor doesn't make it clear, this king will definitely not tolerate such absurd things."

"You..." The empress dowager's lips trembled with anger. She punished Chen Taijun because of her past personal grievances, and because she knew that she was highly respected. Only by punishing her can the people below be deterred.

After disposing of Chen Taijun, the concubines and concubines were obedient for a while, and she was also proud for a long time.

She had made up her mind that even if this matter got to the emperor's ears, the emperor would not be able to provoke her because of the past.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't come, but this little boy did.

The word "li" for Prince Li is etiquette and reason. She knows this person, and the Empress Dowager has valued him very much since she was a child, and she also praised his temperament.

A few thoughts turned in her mind. Today, she intended to show her authority in front of the Princess Regent, but she didn't expect that this group of people didn't trouble her before, and they came to provoke her together today.

She didn't dare to talk to Prince Li anymore, because this person was extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, she had to find Xia Zian's fault later, so she could save some face.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Since the lord begged on your behalf, let's forget it this time."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Prince Li and said, "My lord, let's go first."

Prince Li wanted to have a discussion at first, but he thought that he really had something important to ask the emperor, so he didn't delay, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future.

However, at the end of the day, he also said, "If the maids behind the empress dowager stand normally, there should be two on one side, but now there are three on one side and two on the other, which seems particularly abrupt. would be so uncomfortable."

After finishing speaking, he still insisted on letting Hua Rong, who was standing outside the hall, go in and stand to the left, so that there were three on each side, which was very appropriate, so he gave up.

Seeing that Prince Li could find fault with such a trivial matter, it made the Empress Dowager dare not embarrass Prince Li anymore.

Her gaze finally fell on Zi'an's face slowly.

Even though Zian lowered his head, he could still feel her cold and sharp eyes. Well, it's finally his turn.

"Princess Regent, when you saw Aijia for the first time today, you were supposed to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to Aijia. Even if you are not sensible, no one around you reminded you? The princess came in with you. I ordered you, but you didn't pay big respects to Ai's family, and soon after Empress Dowager Sun left, all the concubines and concubines were dressed plainly, but you were the only one who wore satin red formal attire, it was unfilial and deserved to be punished."

Zian smiled slightly, she also did her homework.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, before I enter the palace, I have to be reminded by Yang Nai next to me that I need to kneel and worship. Therefore, just now, I have already performed the kneeling ritual like all the empresses. As for kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Because it is just an ordinary greeting, and the concubine is not a newlywed, if she kneels three times and kowtows nine times, it will be cumbersome and lose the affection of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Moreover, when the concubine is married into the royal family, she also greets the empress dowager according to the etiquette system set by her ancestors. Great gift."

This is to say that when I got married, I had already kneeled and kowtowed three times with the orthodox empress dowager. As for you, Ye Luzi, who has a bad name and a bad name, you still begged her to kneel and kowtow three times Ritual?

Let's all save it, shall we?
