Chapter 279 Shen Nanqiao is slapped
Shen Zhinian was also very curious about what Shen Nanqiao was up to.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of outsiders, they are sisters after all. If Shen Nanqiao makes any trouble, it will also implicate her.
Shen Zhinian turned to Zhao Yungui and said, "Sister Zhao, you go back first, I will go in later."
There were so many palace servants around her, but Zhao Yungui was not worried about her safety: "Okay."
After receiving Shen Zhinian's order, Xiao Zhouzi let Shen Nanqiao come over.
Shen Nanqiao stood in front of Shen Zhinian, and first looked her up and down with an extremely contemptuous look.
Seeing that Shen Zhinian was now wearing a hairpin with kingfisher feathers and a piece of brocade, her whole demeanor was even more unattainable! Deep in Shen Nanqiao's eyes, a raging fire of jealousy burned!
Handan and Fuqiu have never forgotten how the eldest daughter bullied the queen in the Shen family in the past.
She always pretends to be noble, but what she does is completely contrary to her image.
Whatever the Empress likes, she will snatch it away, even if she can't use it, she will snatch it away and destroy it.
The eldest daughter always said in a high-sounding manner that the daughters of the Shen family should be indifferent to fame and wealth and focus on simplicity. The clothes made by the embroiderer for the empress were made of gray materials, which were not suitable for little girls at all, and they looked lifeless when worn on her.
As a result, every time the queen went out to attend a banquet for the wives of officials, she would be laughed at for a long time. The eldest daughter also said that the queen's taste was like this, and she couldn't do anything if she didn't like this style.
There are so many similar things that even Han Dan and Fu Qi can’t count them all…
Although the queen had a way to take revenge on the eldest daughter, she was still just a little girl at that time. Zhou was the boss of the mansion, and if the queen dared to show any edge, Zhou would not allow her to live.
So during those years, the Empress had been hiding her shortcomings and enduring.
Now the situation has changed, and it is their turn to make the Queen proud!
"Be bold!"
Handan took a step forward, pointed at Shen Nanqiao's nose, and scolded: "You don't even show respect when you see Concubine Rou, is this your upbringing?!"
These two slaves, who used to be afraid to breathe when they saw her, now think that Shen Zhinian has become the queen, so they can show off in front of her? How could Shen Nanqiao tolerate this!
"Since my sister was made a concubine, do you think she doesn't care about the relationship between sisters?"
"Tell me...if His Majesty knew that my sister indulged her personal maid and bossed her around...if His Majesty discovered your ugly true face, would he still love you?"
Shen Zhinian was almost laughed at by her stupidity.
Why does Shen Nanqiao think that Nangong Xuanyu will not believe him but believe her?
However, Shen Zhinian never gave anyone an advantage in public. He smiled and said, "Once you enter the palace, you should first discuss the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and then discuss family affection. This has been the rule since ancient times!"
"My elder sister is unruly in front of me, so I can ignore her. But if you offend other nobles, or even His Majesty, it will bring trouble to the entire Shen family. People will also say that I have an elder sister who doesn't know the rules."
"For my elder sister's sake, I will have to teach her the rules!"
Following her eye contact, Xiao Zhouzi immediately stepped forward and kicked Shen Nanqiao in the popliteal fossa!
She lost her balance and fell to her knees.
Just as Shen Nanqiao was struggling to stand up, Xiao Zhouzi and Xiao Mingzi held her shoulders on the left and right.
Shen Zhinian placed her hand on the back of Fuqiu's hand, walked forward slowly, and looked down at Shen Nanqiao: "Sister, have you learned how to bow now?"
Shen Nanqiao gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment: "Did you dare to talk to me like this before? Why are you so successful here now?!"
Shen Zhinian had too many things to plan, and she didn't have time to dwell on bad people and bad things. But Shen Nanqiao came to her on her own, so don't blame her for being rude!
Her eyes turned cold, and she said without a trace of emotion: "My elder sister married into the Lu family, and Lu Jianglin is still a commoner, so you can't be considered a member of an official family."
"I, a common woman, did not show respect to the concubine and even spoke rudely. What crime should I be punished for?"
Handan immediately said, "The queen is the head of a palace, representing the royal majesty that cannot be offended. According to the law, she can be beaten to death!"
Shen Nanqiao finally panicked, but still didn't want to show his weakness in front of Shen Zhinian: "...you dare!"
Of course Shen Zhinian would not kill Shen Nanqiao.
It's not that she doesn't dare, but she is afraid of what people say. Even if Shen Nanqiao has made many mistakes, they are sisters after all. If she beats her to death, people will definitely call her cruel.
This also does not fit the image of her being pure and kind in the emperor's mind.
What's more, tonight's celebration banquet is the emperor's intention to promote the Shen family. How could Shen Zhinian cause a death and turn a good thing into a bad one?
However... just because she doesn't want Shen Nanqiao's life doesn't mean she won't teach him a lesson!
Shen Zhinian covered her chest with her hands, looking like she couldn't bear it, but her tone was smiling: "They say blood is thicker than water, and my eldest sister is a first-time offender, so I can't be cruel. But if I don't let her learn a lesson, she won't learn the rules, and this will harm her instead."
"What do you think we should do?"
Fuqiu suggested, "Your Highness, since the young lady is so outspoken, then slap her in the face. This way, when she sees other masters in the palace, she will know how to speak."
Shen Zhinian sneered, her tone casual, but with the dignity of a favored concubine: "Little Zhouzi, then you can teach my elder sister the palace rules for me."
"Slave, you obey!"
Xiao Zhouzi is not a feminine eunuch, he is very strong! He raised his arms and slapped Shen Nanqiao several times!
At first, Shen Nanqiao was stubborn and refused to give in.
But as Xiao Zhouzi's slaps fell one after another, she could no longer maintain her noble attitude and knelt on the ground with her head lowered.
Because both of her cheeks were swollen and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, Shen Nanqiao could not pronounce the words clearly: "This humble woman... This humble woman... greets Her Majesty Roupin! May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune, good fortune and peace..."
Shen Zhinian sneered.
A person who is truly as noble as the bright moon should have a proud character and would rather die than surrender.
Shen Nanqiao always talks about being noble, but after being beaten up, he can no longer be so noble.
"Since you already understand the hierarchy, you should know how to greet me next time you see me!"
Shen Zhinian took Fuqiu's hand and walked forward. When passing by Shen Nanqiao, she paused for a moment: "Oh, by the way. Sister, don't think about complaining to anyone with this honor."
"After all, you have defied the royal family and should be caned to death according to the law. I only slapped you on the mouth out of consideration for our sisterly friendship. If His Majesty or others knew about this, I cannot guarantee whether they would punish you according to the palace rules!"
Shen Nanqiao's body trembled, and the thought that had just arisen in his mind was instantly extinguished in fear...
