Chapter 399
The woman's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, and said, "The imperial concubine made amends, the concubine was harmed by others, so she wrote that poem at the banquet beyond her capacity..."

Wen Xiao still had a lazy look on her face, but her eyes gradually became serious.

The woman in front of her is Wang Lianyan, the daughter of Wang Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Before entering the palace, Wang Lianyan was a well-known talented woman in Beijing. She could write excellent calligraphy and poems well.

Most talented people are proud of their talents. Since entering the palace, this Wang Lianyan not only failed to win the emperor's favor with his talents, but also offended many nobles in the palace because of his overly arrogant temper.

At this banquet, Wang Lianyan completely offended Wen Xiao.

Not only was she a step late, but she even satirized Wen Xiao as a grass chicken from the countryside when she wrote a poem, barely standing on a branch, thinking that she was really a phoenix.

The original owner really didn't understand the meaning of this poem, but she had a little follower beside her. After the little follower explained it to Wen Xiao... Wen Xiao understood.

So there was just that scene.

Wen Xiao also felt a little helpless when she encountered this moment just after passing through.

But since it happened, there was absolutely no reason to let it go easily.

Not only can it not be released, but it is also necessary to find out who is behind the scenes.

Wang Lianyan faltered for a long time before explaining the matter clearly.

Wang Lianyan is just a small concubine of the seventh rank, and she can't even count as a dish in this harem. She was also very afraid of Concubine Wen Gui, but just recently, people around her suddenly started talking about Wen Xiao's dissatisfaction. Come on.

Especially her good sister Ji Liangyi, who was only half a rank higher than her, kept talking about how Wen Xiao was so arrogant and domineering that no one could survive. She was obviously a fool, but she occupied the most honored seat in the harem. It was really unfair.

Wang Liangyuan was always arrogant. After hearing this, she naturally felt that the law of heaven was unfair, and after being praised by Ji Liangyi... she was completely in a trance. Everyone in the harem satirized Wen Xiao.

After Wang Lianyan said the matter was clear, she suddenly realized, and she immediately hated Ji Liangyi in her heart.

"The concubine really just misunderstood the villain's slander, and I ask the concubine to forgive me." Wang Lianyan lowered her head that had been held high, her heart was full of remorse, "I know I was wrong..."

"Then continue to kneel." Wen Xiaoshi got up abruptly, her head full of jewels and precious emeralds, dazzled Wang Lianyan for a moment, "Kneel for an hour, and then deduct one month's monthly salary."

Wang Lianyan quickly gave her a big gift, and watched her slowly go away, disappearing from his sight.

"Your Majesty, this punishment is a little too light..." Yue Lan, the eldest court lady beside her, said softly, "If the punishment is not severe, everyone in the harem will inevitably feel that Your Majesty is easy to bully..."

"Whether I'm a good bully or not, they'll know if they come and try it out," Wen Xiao said slightly, "A group of mobs only dare to sneak around behind their backs and do some tricks to disgust people."

Yue Lan said knowingly, "The empress is in a high position, so naturally she doesn't have to be in the same league as them."

Wen Xiao smiled noncommittally, her already enchanting face became even more dazzling at this moment.

"The imperial concubine is auspicious, and the slave has given an order from the sage to invite the empress to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have a meal with the sage."

As soon as he returned to the Yaohua Palace where he lived, a young eunuch came to report with a smile on his face.
