Chapter 122 Lords, are you in a hurry?(1/3)

Afang took off the phoenix crown on his head and placed it on the table, and the face of the Queen of Daqin was exposed.

Afang's appearance is not ugly, but he is indeed not very beautiful.

With a slightly bigger eyes, a slightly wider face, and a slightly dull complexion, not to mention the concubines of the First Emperor, even compared with most palace maids, Afang's appearance did not have the upper hand.

In this beautiful harem, Afang's appearance can only be said to be in a low-level position, but he is really not outstanding at all.

But, the First Emperor chose her as the lord of the Great Qin harem and chose her as the Empress of the Great Qin.

Even when Afang had no fertility and had no chance of giving birth in his life, the First Emperor still had no idea of ​​abolishing the queen.

The First Emperor asked all the princes and princesses in the harem to recognize Afang as their mother and call Afang as their mother.

If there are no children, then the other concubines in the harem will be born, so they will be the daughters of the house.

The First Emperor treated Afang well so much.

The back seat of Afang is unshakable.

When Ying Fusu heard this, he looked helpless on his face.

The Great Zheng Palace is Ying Fusu's bedroom, which is an entire palace with multiple rooms inside.

Afang enters from the front hall, passes through the middle hall, goes around the side hall, and enters the back hall.

She looked at all seven rooms in Dazheng Palace, stared at Ying Fusu's newly changed bed and said, "This bed color..."

As he walked forward and reached out to touch the wood on the bed, a strange color flashed in Afang's eyes.

"So that's it. This wood is different from the wood in my bedroom. According to regulations, all beds in the palace should be rosewood, so how do you use elmwood?"

Afang's voice was soft and gentle.

But when a person can easily determine the life and death of others, no matter how gentle the voice is, it is still full of majesty when listening to those who cannot help but live and die.

The two eunuchs were trembling, their eyes were shifting, and they lowered their heads and shivered gently.

"Bold! The queen asked, but no one responded. Do you all want to die?"

The maid of Afang was furious and glanced at all the eunuchs and palace maids in Ying Fusu's bedroom, scolding him.

Just looking at the surface, she is more majestic than the Queen Afang.

Ying Fusu sighed lightly, stepped forward slowly, and said, "Mother, my son likes elm beds, so he ordered someone to change it."

When the two eunuchs standing against the wall heard this, they felt relieved, their breathing gradually calmed down, and their bodies no longer trembled.

When they lowered their heads and did not see the maid Afang angrily scolding them, their eyes stayed on them for a little longer.

"You like elm beds." The queen repeated, saying, "Then tell me, why don't you like rosewood or elm?"

Ying Fusu did not know the difference between rosewood and elm.

He studied Confucianism and read the classics of hundreds of schools of thought. How could he know this kind of knowledge that only carpenters would know?

After pondering for a while, he said, "The rosewood bed I used before was baked by charcoal fire, and many places were cracked. Fusu used a lot of strength to break the rosewood bed. When they asked them to change the bed, they asked them to make it out of elm."

Afang chuckled.

"The fragrance of rosewood is used to calm the mind and help sleep. Although its wood is prone to insects, it is naturally not easy to dry."

Ying Fusu's face turned red, and he wanted to say something.

Twist ~

Afang knocked on the elm bed, and listened to the dull sound of the elm, and said, "The elm's grains look good, and their hardness and toughness are also good. If you say that you like the patterning, your mother will believe it. But you insist on baking charcoal fire, drying and cracking. Fusu, the disadvantage of elm is that it is not drying."

Afang looked around at the elm bed, pointed at the elm bed with one hand, and waved Ying Fusu over with the other.

Ying Fusu approached and looked along Afang's finger and saw a small crack.

Afang touched Ying Fusu's head and said softly: "My mother tells you that elm wood is more likely to crack than rosewood."

Ying Fusu showed a embarrassed look on his face.

Afang turned his head and looked at the maid beside him.

The maid understood it and walked to the two eunuchs who had just trembled.

He grabbed the eunuch's collar with one hand and pulled it hard.

Two eunuchs were pulled to kneel on the ground.

The maid was frowning and said angrily: "Who gave you the courage to replace pineapple wood with elm wood!"

The two eunuchs looked at each other and exchanged their eyes - pushing the matter to the eldest son.

While kowtowing to Afang, he explained loudly.

"Not bad! The eldest son asked the villain to change it!"

"I both followed the eldest son's instructions!"

Ying Fusu turned his head, looked at the two eunuchs, and looked at the faces of unbearableness, and said to Afang: "Fusu mistakenly thought that elm wood is much dryer than rosewood, so he made this mistake and didn't do their business."

When the two eunuchs heard this, they complained that they were wronged, and their voices became louder and their confidence was more confident.

Afang heard the two eunuchs shouting, and his eyes were filled with a hint of resentment, but he still nodded slightly at the maid.

The maid got the permission of Afang and immediately shouted: "You two dare to deceive the queen and kill her with a stick!"

The two eunuchs were shocked.

"It's unfair! The eldest son saves me!"

"Sir, both of us follow the words and actions of the eldest son, and there is no lie!"

"Let's wait!"

Ying Fusu stopped him from going out and calling the Lang Guan in, and dragged the two eunuchs away.

He bowed deeply to the Queen Afang and said, "Mother, this fact is Fusu's fault. If the mother is punished, Fusu can be punished."

"You have learned Confucianism since you were a child. Which Confucian classic wants you to deceive your parents? If you want to do this unrighteous thing, I will ask Your Majesty to see if this pineapple wood turns into elm wood. Is it your mistake or the two eunuchs' fault?"

Before Ying Fusu could speak, the two eunuchs were already crying and crawling to the feet of Afang.

"The queen calms down the anger. It's because I was both obsessed with money. I replaced the pineapple wood and replaced it with elm wood!"

"This matter has nothing to do with the eldest son, it's all my fault!"

The two of them admitted their mistakes because they knew.

The queen punished her to drag them out and kill them with a stick, and only two of them were killed.

If the First Emperor came and knew that they not only stole property from the palace, but also dared to push the mistake on the eldest son, then they would definitely be banished.

If one person dies or three tribes, anyone can settle the account.

Afang looked at Ying Fusu and said, "What else do you want to say to your mother?"

Ying Fusu said: "The Analects of Confucius says: Father hides for the son, and son hides for the father, and it is in it. This means that the father hides for the child, and the child hides for the father, and integrity is in it. Today, Fusu conceals the lives of his mother and queen for his mother, which is also an upright move. It is just a little wealth, why ruin her life? Please forgive them."

Afang sat on Ying Fusu's bed, pulled Ying Fusu down, sniffed and said, "There hasn't been the fragrance of pineapple wood in recent days, how can my son sleep well?"

“I didn’t feel uncomfortable.”

"If the mother is here, she will not be able to sleep well. She will not be able to sleep well when she returns to the bedroom today."

Afang stared at the two eunuchs who were kneeling in front of her, fearing and begging for mercy.

"How can my son fall asleep peacefully by being a mother?"

"Mother..."

"I'll ask you again why Dazheng Palace is so deserted."

At this moment, there were thirteen eunuchs and palace maids in Dazheng Palace, which was really unstoppable.

But based on the specifications of the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty in Ying Fusu, the number of people is much smaller, and there must be at least twenty-two people on duty.

"The night is dark, and Fusu doesn't need so many people to serve, so they want to go back first."

"Do you ask for it on your own initiative or they ask?" Afang looked at Ying Fusu's eyes and said, "Don't deceive your mother anymore, otherwise I have to ask your father to come here."

"... They asked to reply earlier when they said they were unwell, but Fusu agreed in person. The queen mother should not let Fusu become a person who was untrustworthy."

Afang stood up.

Wherever her eyes saw the eunuchs, the palace maid would lower her head and dare not look directly at her.

The Queen of Daqin took two steps slowly and said to Ying Fusu, "You have been locked up for 100 years by your uncle, so why don't you go out? In the future, my mother will still have to come to Dazheng Palace in person. This is not in line with the 'ritual' you have learned."

"... Please forgive me for my mother. It's not that Fusu doesn't want to leave Dazheng Palace. But when Fusu leaves, there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Mount Li away, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the Dazheng Palace are about to lose their lives because of Fusu."

"So, can you stay in Dazheng Palace with peace of mind? If one day your uncle wants to kill his mother, will you not leave Dazheng Palace?"

“…Uncle wouldn’t do that.”

"How can an emperor be coerced?"

Afang left a word, started his steps lightly, and spoke while walking.

"The Queen Mother may not execute these two eunuchs today, but from today on, the Queen Mother will always think that my son is bullied and it is difficult to sleep. Fusu, do you want Queen Mother to sleep soundly or save his lives."
