Chapter 387: Punishing Three People at Once

Xie Run said slowly, "I know my limits."

Concubine Shen sighed, "The rumor in the palace is that Sister Xie is in a bad mood because of the new palace maid. But I know Sister Xie best and I absolutely don't believe she's the kind of person who gets jealous."

Xie Run: "...Aren't you talking about Hua Zhaoyi punishing the newcomer?"

Shenpin was reminded and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"This class of newcomers is truly incredible!"

"That newly arrived Concubine Ming is arrogant and domineering, quite like Concubine Duan's demeanor from the past. She actually went to Fanghua Palace to pick a fight with Concubine Sun."

"Bai Baolin was kind-hearted and stepped forward to protect Lady Sun. But Lady Ming was too arrogant and even beat up the two of them."

"The noise these three made was so loud that it angered Hua Zhaoyi. Hua Zhaoyi was also very angry and punished all three of them with thirty slaps."

When Xie Run heard this gossip, all his worries were thrown away.

She subconsciously asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Concubine Shen said a little embarrassedly: "I often go to Fanghua Palace these days. When Ming Meiren came to the door, I happened to be in Fanghua Palace."

"I'm thinking that the Emperor has been staying in Sister Xie's palace for several days in a row, and Consort Hua must be feeling quite angry."

"She didn't dare to do anything to her sister. Seeing me, she was afraid she would vent her anger, so she ran away early."

Concubine Shen laughed and said, "Sister Xie doesn't know how angry Hua Zhaoyi was. She almost rushed out to catch me herself at that time."

Xie Run was stunned. "You ran away in front of her?"

After a pause, he added, "It seems Hua Zhaoyi hasn't finished her confinement yet."

When Xie Run gave birth to Taotao, she took a double confinement period because she wanted to do so and it also gave her the chance to regain her figure.

Hua Zhaoyi was in confinement for two months because she was injured during childbirth.

If I want to fully recover, I'm afraid it may take more than two months, and it's definitely impossible for me to go out and make a fuss now.

Concubine Shen nodded. "Hua Zhaoyi was probably basking in the sun by the window... Actually, I think she deliberately had someone carry her to sit by the bed so she could listen to the newcomer being punished, so she could vent her anger."

Xie Run: "...You are really brave."

This sounds really outrageous.

All in one palace.

Hua Zhaoyi sat at the window and ordered people to be punished. When Shenpin heard the voice, she realized that the situation was not good, so she ran away with her people without looking back.

It didn't sound like the palace, but more like women in the village quarreling and making trouble.

Sure enough, no matter how serious the matter is, it always changes a little when it comes to Concubine Shen.

In fact, Concubine Shen has something else to say.

At that time, Hua Zhaoyi issued an order to punish the newlyweds, but Shenpin tried to say a few good words for the newlyweds to curry favor with them.

As a result, when Hua Zhaoyi heard Shenpin's voice, her face changed immediately. Before she could finish her words of reprimand, Shenpin saw that the situation was not good and turned around and ran away.

Hua Zhaoyi was shocked at the time, scolding Shenpin for being outrageous, and wanted to call on people from Fanghua Palace to stop Shenpin.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Shen was very fast. She pushed away the people blocking her way and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hua Zhaoyi was extremely angry about this matter.

Xie Run: "Hua Zhaoyi's temper is getting worse and worse."

"Before, when we punished Xue Baolin, we could say she was teaching the unruly newcomers. But today, we punished three people at once. That's enough."

As for Xue Baolin's incident, other people in the palace could still pretend that nothing had happened.

This time I can't ignore it even if I want to.

Concubine Shen said anxiously, "Thank you, sister. Hua Zhaoyi shouldn't cause me any more trouble, right?"

Xie Run: "I guess she can't take care of you."

Seeing that the danger was gone, Concubine Shen mentioned another incident, "Didn't they say that Concubine Jing Shu's sister was going to enter the palace, but then there was no news."

"Today I received news that Concubine Jing Shu's cousin suddenly developed a facial disease and failed the re-examination."

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if someone has made it to the second round of interviews, they would have already established connections both inside and outside the organization, and it would just be a formality.

Xie Run smiled and said, "He will come in sooner or later."

Concubine Shen originally wanted to share some gossip with Xie Run, but when she heard Xie Run's words, her eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Xie, what news did you get?"

Xie Run: "The Empress Dowager is quite obsessed. The girl hiding in the Cining Palace has not yet appeared. It is impossible for her to give up just like that."

"As for Consort Jing Shu's sister... a family like the Duke's Mansion, sending a girl here doesn't require a selection."

Concubine Shen shook her head: "Is this palace a good place? Everyone is trying their best to get in."

According to Concubine Shen, life in the palace was not as comfortable as in the backyard of the prince's mansion.

She dared to visit people everywhere in the palace, but when she came to the palace, she only dared to associate with Fang Jieyu, the honest woman.

Concubine Shen then mentioned several people in Fanghua Palace: "Ming Meiren is a brainless firecracker, running rampant in the palace. Even if she doesn't fall to Hua Zhaoyi today, she will be taught a lesson sooner or later."

"That Concubine Sun is truly beautiful, but unfortunately she's too wooden, even more wooden than Concubine Fang. You can't even get a single fart out of her even if you hit her with three sticks."

"Bai Baolin is kind and gentle, but I don't like getting along with her."

Xie Run was listening lazily, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Why is that?"

Concubine Shen thought for a long time and finally said, "Intuition."

"I don't know why, but I just feel like I can't get close to you."

Xie Run looked at her curiously.

Concubine Shen's intuition is really amazing.

In the backyard of the palace, there were many people who pretended to be good people but were actually cruel and ruthless behind the scenes.

She didn't get close to any of them, but instead chatted with the silent Concubine Fang.

Facts have proved that she has a good vision and Concubine Fang is indeed an honest person.

Xie Run asked, "Xue Baolin and Miao Cainv didn't show up for today's incident?"

Concubine Shen: "Xue Baolin is a shrewd person. He looks cute and lively, but he is actually calculating things in his heart. Miao Cainu is a poor man. He only knows how to study, but he has no courage."

"The two people who were in trouble hid behind the door and didn't dare to show their faces."

Xie Run lowered his eyes: "I wonder who will take care of this matter?"

Concubine Shen: "Hua Zhaoyi has been wronged for so long, I'm afraid she's become too frustrated. Unless the Empress personally intervenes, she won't accept it."

Xie Run: "We'll know soon."

After they finished talking, Taotao, who had changed his clothes, ran out.

"Mother, I need to water the plants!"

Xie Run glanced at him and said, "Go find something to play with. You just changed your clothes. If you get them dirty, you're not allowed to play outside today."

After being rejected, Taotao still wanted to retort.

But when he heard Xie Run say that he was not allowed to go out to play, he suddenly didn't dare to speak.

As Taotao gets older, he learns to use his brain when doing things and is not as reckless as before.

He glanced at Concubine Shen and said, "Then I want Concubine Shen to play with me!"

Concubine Shen was flattered and looked at Xie Run.

Xie Run smiled helplessly, "Okay, as long as you don't get your clothes dirty."

As he said this, he invited Concubine Shen to have dinner at the Showa Palace.

After lunch, news came.

Concubine Wen went to take care of the matter, but was pushed back by Hua Yu, and she suffered a sense of injustice for no reason.
