Chapter 260 Beaten into a Pig's Head
Zhou Lingge sneered, her eyes falling on Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing was wearing a goose yellow dress today, her face was plain and without any makeup, and a light and elegant scholarly air permeated her whole body.
She is indeed a lady from a wealthy family.
The aura she exudes is exactly the same as Zhou Shiya's.
Oh, they're all equally annoying!
Zhou Lingge immediately scolded, "Why? You can come to the Imperial Garden, but I can't?"
"Don't you think that this question of Concubine Qin has offended me?"
Jin Xin puffed out her chest and scolded coldly: "Lady Qin, you are so bold!"
"Someone, slap him."
Pah... Qin Keqing barely had time to react when she was slapped hard on the cheek.
She was almost stunned.
What kind of firecrackers did the imperial concubine eat today?
She was just asking normal questions.
Did this also offend her?
She knelt on the ground, covering her cheeks, and looked up at Zhou Lingge in a daze.
"Your Highness, I don't have any..."
Zhou Lingge curled her lips and smiled, her eyes full of mockery: "Don't look at me with such surprise, I'm just maintaining my persona. I'm a demon concubine, I don't distinguish between good and evil, if anyone makes me unhappy, I will beat them up!"
"If you are not convinced, you can go to His Majesty and complain to me. I will be at your service anytime."
Qin Keqing was filled with rage, she really didn't know why this person did this for no reason?
Just because of a word, she was slapped?
After all, she is a noble lady in the palace.
Qin Keqing was so angry that her heart ached, but her face showed extreme fear and trepidation, and she didn't dare to disobey Zhou Lingge at all.
She kowtowed and apologized quickly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no intention of offending you. You are just unhappy and slapped me. I accept it willingly."
"I hope Your Majesty will not get so angry with me that it harms the unborn baby. Otherwise, I will be guilty of a great sin. If one slap doesn't calm me down, Your Majesty can give me a few more. I can bear it."
The imperial concubine slapped a noble lady in the palace for no reason. She didn't believe that the empress dowager would tolerate it. Would His Majesty allow the imperial concubine to act so recklessly?
Or does Zhou Lingge really want to become a demon concubine hated by everyone, not caring about her own identity or the future of the royal heir in her womb?
Qin Keqing was certain that Zhou Lingge wouldn't dare slap her a second time.
She clenched her fists tightly, waiting for Zhou Lingge to give in.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Lingge heard this, her eyes were full of interest.
She couldn't help but pinch her handkerchief, covering her lips and nose. "This is the first time in my long time in the palace that I've seen a concubine actively ask for a slap. Concubine Qin, you're truly different from the other concubines. Today in the court, that sixty-year-old Master Zhang pretended to commit suicide by hitting a pillar, hoping to inspire kindness in His Majesty... Now, Concubine Qin is willing to let me slap her as an apology. How could I possibly let Concubine Qin down?"
Qin Keqing's eyes were full of surprise, and she looked up at Zhou Lingge in disbelief.
"Your Highness...that's not what I meant."
She said she slapped herself to calm the imperial concubine down.
She said this on purpose to provoke the imperial concubine and make her give up.
She is not only a noble lady of His Majesty, but also the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Her status is so noble. Zhou Lingge slapped herself, which was a disrespect to her father and those families that have close relations with the Qin family.
Since ancient times, the families in Kyoto have been complicated and intertwined with various interests.
If Zhou Lingge continues to slap people today, her reputation as a demon concubine will be confirmed.
Qin Keqing didn’t know whether Zhou Lingge didn’t understand or wanted to die.
Zhou Lingge glanced at Qin Keqing's surprised eyes, curled her lips and gave the order without any hesitation.
"Ten slaps..."
"To serve as a warning to others! I need you all to spread the word about my reputation as a stunner concubine."
Jin Xin felt a burst of relief. She didn't dare to do anything herself, so she asked a eunuch to continue slapping him.
The eunuch's hands were very strong and his fingers were rough, which made Qin Keqing dizzy and dazed...her delicate face was scratched.
After ten slaps, she fell to the ground.
The corners of his mouth were covered in blood.
Her eyes gradually turned red, and the tears that had been hidden in her eyes slowly dripped down.
She was also thinking about taking the opportunity to show herself in front of His Majesty in the next two days.
Now, her face was smashed, how could she meet His Majesty?
Since she came here, she has never suffered such a great humiliation.
Zhou Lingge...she remembered her!
Anyone who offends her or tries to stand in her way will die.
Gao Wen, Lin Yan and the others are all gone.
Next up is Concubine Yu Zhou Lingge!
Zhou Lingge looked at Qin Keqing's miserable state and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk... Such a delicate beauty was beaten into a pig's head like this. This palace really can't bear it."
"Lady Qin, if you don't want to become a pig-head again, I hope you will be careful with your words and actions next time you see me. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you..."
Sun Changzai, who was kneeling beside Qin Keqing, trembling and pale with fear, could no longer bear to watch and said boldly, "My Lady Imperial Concubine...you've gone too far. Concubine Qin didn't offend you at all, yet you ordered someone to smash her face..."
"Noble Lady Qin had originally thought that the Imperial Concubine's birthday was approaching, and since she loved flower tea, she had come up with recipes for dishes, cakes... and drinks infused with flowers. To prepare a birthday gift for the Imperial Concubine, Noble Lady Qin had gone to the Imperial Garden before dawn to pick dew-drenched flowers... She had never imagined that the Imperial Concubine would attack Noble Lady Qin the moment they met. This was truly outrageous."
Qin Keqing lowered her eyes and dared not say a word.
Hearing Sun Changzai speaking up for herself, she sobbed in grievance.
The whole person is extremely pitiful.
This caused the palace maids who were watching nearby to whisper to each other.
Seeing so many people watching, Chang Sun became a little bolder.
She looked up at Zhou Lingge's beautiful face.
"Your Majesty... Concubine Qin is very clever and skillful. Not only can she make meals and cakes with flowers, she can also make a drink called milk tea with milk... Concubine Qin said that milk tea is most suitable for pregnant women. This is specially developed for the Imperial Concubine."
"The milk tea has a very mellow flavor. After I drank it, the taste is still lingering on my lips and teeth."
"My concubine and I were thinking that if the Imperial Concubine tasted it, she would definitely like it very much! But who knew... as soon as we saw the Imperial Concubine, she had someone slap and smash Concubine Qin's face without saying a word..."
"Your Majesty cannot bully us concubines of lower rank just because you are a noble concubine. We all have good intentions towards you, Your Majesty. How can you bully us like this?"
