If not abolished

Chapter 231 Punishment

"Your Highness the Grand Master Sun!" Everyone was so frightened when they heard the scolding that they didn't react for a moment. When they reacted, they immediately knelt down.

"What do you think of what this girl said, Shanxiang?" Zhu Zhanji walked in, helped Hu Shanxiang to stand up and sit down and asked.

"Your Highness, she just spoke out of turn. Please forgive her."

"Does Shanxiang's words mean that you disagree with what she said?" Zhu Zhanji still insisted on this topic.

No matter how she answered this question, it seemed to be a bad answer. Just as she was about to speak...

Fei Ran said, "It's all my fault. I said the wrong thing. Your Highness wants to punish me, and I will accept it. This has nothing to do with the Queen. It's all my fault. The Queen has never said anything bad about Your Highness."

"You don't have to tell me. I'm going to punish you too. Since you said the wrong thing, I'll take you away and give you twenty slaps on the face, and also fine you three months' salary, Wu Cheng." Zhu Zhanji went along with the punishment.

"Your Highness, is this punishment too severe?" Hu Shanxiang was ready to plead for mercy.

"I think it's because you are too nice to these girls that they have no rules. If you plead again, the punishment will be doubled." Zhu Zhanji was merciless and did not give her a chance to plead.

"So, Your Highness, are you here to show off your power today?" Even if Hu Shanxiang didn't understand, she could tell that Zhu Zhanji was deliberately causing trouble, although she didn't know why yet.

"Shan Xiang, why do you think so? I originally came to see you, but who knew that as soon as I entered the room, I heard this palace maid say such disrespectful words. Punishing her is also to help you set rules for them, otherwise I don't know what these servants would become." Zhu Zhanji's words were well-reasoned.

Hu Shanxiang had no choice but to say, "I know that she was wrong in this matter and said the wrong thing, but wasn't the punishment too severe?"

"Shan Xiang, you are too soft-hearted. If you don't punish them more severely, how can you deter others? Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it. You are pregnant now, so you should have a good rest. That girl should not come to serve you for the time being, otherwise she will scare you."

"I'll follow your instructions." Hu Shanxiang knew that if she objected, the people around her would be punished more severely, so she could only keep silent for the time being.

Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied to see her like this, and then asked with concern: "I have been busy these days and have no time to accompany you. Are you unhappy?"

"How could that be? Your Highness is very busy, I understand that."

"Really? I wonder if this little guy in your belly is as considerate as Shanxiang." Zhu Zhanji said as he touched her belly.

"She won't be angry with Your Highness."

"That's good." Zhu Zhanji looked at the time, "Isn't it time for you to take a nap?"

"Ah."

"I'll accompany you."

"Okay."

The two of them were lying on the bed hugging each other, and Zhu Zhanji suddenly asked, "Shanxiang, do you like the palace?"

Hu Shanxiang was stunned, "Why does Your Highness ask this?"

"I feel that you may not like the palace very much. I didn't treat you well in my last life. In this life..." Zhu Zhanji thought of the results of his investigation and couldn't help but hold her hand a little tighter.

"There are the Imperial Concubine, the Crown Princess, and you in the palace. I'm willing to stay here." Hu Shanxiang suddenly felt that Zhu Zhanji was insecure, and she hugged him back tightly.

"Really?" Zhu Zhanji seemed to be unconvinced.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Go to sleep." Zhu Zhanji seemed to have figured something out.
