Chapter 638 The Theft Case
The people dragged on, but Prince Li didn't intend to let Zi'an go, "The empress dowager sent people to all the mansions this time, and this kind of thing has never happened in this prince's mansion. The main reason is that the rules are strict. No one will obey you, you know?"
Zi'an nodded like a pounding garlic, "I know, my brother and sister know." When you entered the palace to pay your respects, you were the witness, so what you say is what you say.
Prince Li is famous for his attention to etiquette and etiquette. I'm afraid that the aunts in the palace are not as particular as he is, even if she discusses it in front of the empress dowager, she will not suffer.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Zi'an asked Nanny Yang.
Because Prince Li is still here, this master is not very accepting of being fooled by others, so her face is still flashing with pain, "Your servant will be fine when you go back and smear some medicinal wine, Princess Xie."
"Well, hurry up." Zi'an said.
"Slave and servant leave!" Yang Nanny Fu stepped down.
After Yang Nanny left, Ah Man said angrily: "These slaves who are arrogant, I wish I could kill them one by one."
Prince Li looked at her strangely, "If you follow the rules, why are you beating someone?"
"The one from our mansion, how can there be any rules? But it's just talking about the rules in front of you." Ah Man said angrily.
Zian heard that something was wrong, "Is there only one in your mansion?"
There are eight of her here.
"On a."
Zi'an said in a strange way: "The empress dowager really takes care of me."
"Are those just now?" Ah Man was stunned for a moment, "No wonder you feel very familiar."
"Isn't it?" Zian looked at Ah Man, "Are you also going to sew 147 into the palace to greet you?"
"Well, yes." Ah Man is born as a princess, but she is also very contemptuous of these customs, especially every time she enters the palace, the face of the new empress dowager should not be too ugly.
Prince Li waved his hand, "It's etiquette to greet you when you enter the palace, and it's also filial piety. As a daughter-in-law, it should be like this."
"You haven't had a bad time, so you don't have a backache when you speak. Even the concubine Mei was reprimanded that day." Ah Man said.
"Concubine Mei was reprimanded? What's the matter?" Zi'an asked, she remembered that Concubine Mei always knew how to advance and retreat, so logically she would not offend her.
"I don't know exactly what happened. I just heard from the maid next to Concubine Mei that she was punished to kneel for two hours after being reprimanded."
Zi'an said coldly: "What is she going to do?"
Ah Man raised his hand, looking a little unlucky, "Who knows? How long has it been since the queen mother left? It is ridiculous enough to make an exception to promote the concubine as the empress dowager, but she even married a merchant's daughter as the queen, and even took away the daughter of a merchant. Brother's daughter-in-law, Sun Fang'er was also made a noble concubine, did you know?"
"I know, but these things, third brother, you...?" Zian wanted to ask him, do you like it?
Prince Li seemed very angry, "This king has gone on a business trip. After returning to Beijing, all this is a foregone conclusion. This king went to the palace to talk to the emperor. The emperor said that they all paid homage to the ancestral temple, the jade certificate was also entered, and the Phoenix seal was issued. If it goes on, it cannot be changed, if it is to be changed, it means to abolish the empress dowager, the emperor asked me to come up with reasons for abolishing the empress dowager and the abolition of the empress dowager, this king thought about it carefully, I have not made a mistake for the time being, and it cannot be abolished."
This scrupulous way of doing things is really... the emperor's grasp.
"Tomorrow will be the twenty-fourth day, please enter the palace on 147th, and you will have to go tomorrow, and you will be waiting at Yanxi Palace at every moment." Ah Man reminded.
"I see." Zian picked up the tea without any haste.
"There are eight people in your house, so it can be seen that she treats you special...preferential treatment, you have to be careful tomorrow, don't ask her to pick out any mistakes."
Zi'an said: "She will pick my faults anyway, and if there are none, she has to pick a few. Don't worry, I will play by ear."
"And that servant just now, if you beat her, I'm afraid you will go to the palace to sue. Fortunately, we came here to see her so presumptuous, and we can say a few words for you when we turn around in front of the empress dowager, otherwise, the empress dowager The queen mother blindly believes, and you will suffer."
Zi'an heard that Ah Man was also so afraid of her, it seems that this empress dowager really has a few tricks.
Zi'an forwarded some gifts from King Qi to Prince Li and his wife. Prince Li coughed and said to Zi'an in a low voice: "Before, I heard that you have medicine for removing lice. I prescribed one for this prince."
Zian burst out laughing, looking at his hat, he thought it was because his hair hadn't grown well after shaving, so he was laughed at, "Could it be that Da Jin has lice again?"
"Isn't it?" Prince Li was very annoyed.
"Okay, after I finish the prescription, I will order someone to grab the medicine and send it to your residence."
"Okay, you give me the prescription as well, except this time, if I still have the medicine later, I will ask someone to grab the medicine."
Zian nodded and looked at Ah Man, who rolled his eyes vigorously, "Don't look at me, in his heart, Dajin will always be more important than me."
"Look at you," said Prince Li solemnly, "you can still argue with animals?"
Ah Man sneered, "Caring? I'm not as good as a beast, what am I caring about?"
Zian sent the pair of live treasures away with a smile, asked people to close the door, turned around, sneered a few times, and ordered, "Come on, call everyone from the palace to the main hall."
It was just the opening remarks, and what follows is the meat of the show.
Nanny Liang was hit by the board and couldn't walk, Zian asked someone to help her out.
A group of eight people all knelt in front of Zian.
Zian didn't say a word, just holding a cup of tea and drinking it quietly.
Nanny Liang was injured and couldn't kneel down, so she couldn't help feeling angry, "Princess, do you have any orders for your servants to come over?"
Zian gently blew on the hot tea, took a sip slowly, and then smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, it's nothing serious, it's just that my concubine counted the jewelry in the jewelry box and found that some jewelry was missing. I asked you to come and ask, who will take care of the cleaning of the house when this concubine is not around?"
Liang Nanny sneered a few times, "Princess, why is there no reason to blame you? You are deliberately picking on the slaves, aren't you?"
Zian was not angry at all, and said softly: "Mommy, I didn't say that you took it, but if you really took it, you will hand it over. Nothing happened to this concubine. On the side of the empress dowager, a The concubine will not disclose the words."
Seeing that Prince Li was not there, and seeing that she had to ask Prince Li to decide everything, she couldn't bear it and said, "I don't know what the princess lost? None of the slaves have touched anything in the princess's room. How can the concubine be sure that the servants took it? Didn’t you ask anyone else? There are still several original people in the mansion.”
Zi'an snorted, "Nurse Huang reminded my concubine, come on, call all the people in the mansion, this concubine wants to ask carefully."
After a while, everyone in the mansion was assembled.
The retainer Wang Jun heard the theft in the mansion, so he said: "If you go back to the princess, since the empress dowager gave them to come here, they have taken care of everything in the princess's house, and servants and others have no right to enter."
"What about cleaning?" Zi'an asked.
Wang Jun said: "Ming Xia and Ming Qiu do the cleaning."
Ming Xia and Ming Qiu both shouted for grievances, "Wangfei Mingjian, the servants have never taken anything, Wangfei's jewelry box is locked with a copper lock, how dare the servants pry it open?"
