After saying this, the young man seemed to agree with his guess, so he just grabbed Jiang Nianjiao's wrist and said, "Tell me, who are you?"
"Zhao Lang! You are blind! Don't you know who I am?" Jiang Nianjiao didn't expect that Zhao Lang would suddenly take action, and she couldn't help but feel angry for a moment.
Zhao Lang also felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, so he couldn't help but whispered, "This voice does sound somewhat familiar."
Unfortunately, before he could guess who it was, a majestic and cold voice suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"
When he got closer, the man just scolded and asked, "Alang? What are you talking about?"
Zhao Lang did not immediately recognize Jiang Nianjiao's voice, but he obviously recognized Queen Min's voice.
So he just took Jiang Nianjiao and said, "To tell you the Queen, what I am holding is a little thief with a strange smell."
The queen naturally smelled the muddy smell, and she guessed that this was probably the woman that Yin Huan and the others came to report that her son had brought back last night, right?
She didn't know where Zhao Yanzhen went last night, and who was the woman brought back this morning? But she was always unhappy when she saw this woman.
After all, good things never go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. .
Even if she felt that her son could not have gone out to fool around, the memorials outside would probably not sound very good.
So thinking of this, she just said to Jiang Nianjiao coldly, "Raise your head, I want to take a good look at your appearance after giving birth."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she could only curse Zhao Lang in her heart for being blind while reluctantly raising her head.
Queen Min suddenly took two steps back when she saw Jiang Nianjiao's face.
It was Qiu Wan next to her who supported her.
"Miss Jiang? Are you the girl my son brought back this morning?" Queen Min asked with some doubts. It was obvious that she still had more questions to ask.
Jiang Nianjiao could only answer yes, and then she just said to Zhao Lang, who was still pressing her, "Can Your Highness Ninth Prince let go of me?"
Seeing that it was Jiang Nianjiao, Queen Min only said, "Lao Jiu, don't let go yet."
After hearing this, Zhao Lang could only let go, and then he said sarcastically, "It turns out to be Third Sister-in-law. I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law. My eyes have been hurt by the poisonous mist recently. I can't see people clearly. Come closer." I could only barely see an outline, so I thought you were an assassin."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard what he said, she naturally knew that he was really half-blind at the moment, so she just rubbed her arms and said, "Nothing?"
Although Empress Min found out that her son had brought back Jiang Nianjiao, she was still a little unhappy. Not to mention the affairs of the Jiang and Chen families, it was the marriage between Jiang Nianjiao and Chen Jinghuai and her son's plan to marry Jiang Nianjiao. The series of turmoil caused by Jiang Nianjiao made Empress Min somewhat resentful of her.
Now that she saw Jiang Nianjiao and Lao Jiu having fun in the bathhouse again, she couldn't help but said coldly, "What are you doing in this bathhouse?"
Jiang Nianjiao looked at the four maids of Zhao Yanzhen who were following behind Empress Min. She already understood what kind of tricks Zhao Yanzhen's four maids were playing. She could only be glad that she was careful and did not go into the bathing pool. Otherwise, if she and Zhao Yanzhen were Lang was bathing in the same bathing pool with disheveled clothes, and he couldn't even speak clearly now.
So when she thought of this, she couldn't help but give the four maids a meaningful look.
Then she just slightly bowed her body and said, "Returning to the Queen, I wanted to wash off the dirt on my body, but then I asked Miss Zhu Guo to bring me over to wash off the dirt on my body."
Queen Min frowned and said, "I see you haven't even washed yourself."
Jiang Nianjiao then continued, "I originally planned to take a bath, but the change of clothes was not delivered for a long time. I also saw that the guard at the door was missing, so I wanted to come out to find out. I didn't want to bump into His Highness Ninth Prince after I came out. ”
Zhao Lang only said in a low voice, "My son has been unable to see well recently. The third brother heard that soaking in hot springs can relieve the poisonous fog, so he gave me permission to come here to bathe in the bath. My son will come here at this time every day." .”
After hearing this, Queen Min still didn't understand. Although she didn't want to see Jiang Nianjiao, she obviously despised these dirty methods even more, so she only glanced coldly at Yin Huan, who came to inform her.
And only this
Seeing this, Yin Huan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. "My dear, forgive me, but I didn't know that His Highness Ninth Prince would be here to bathe. If I knew, I would never lead him here."
Her words were obviously meant to fool people into thinking they were fools. Qiu Wan on the side only said warmly, "Miss Yinhuan, people who are wise don't tell secret words. No one here is stupid. No one can be fooled by your explanation."
Queen Min warned, "It's not impossible for me to help you like His Highness the Third. After all, which prince doesn't have three wives and four concubines? But what I can't tolerate the most is the jealous tricks of these people who think they are smart." . If today's incident gets serious, whose face do you think you will lose? In the end, it won't be my son who loses face?"
After hearing Queen Min's words, those people immediately apologized verbally, and at the same time, they only loudly promised that they would never be so confused again in the future, and asked Queen Min to spare them.
If the person standing here today was really a country girl, if she had been kinder, she might have suppressed the matter and put the girl in His Highness Ninth Prince's room, and if she had been crueler, she could have killed the girl with a cane.
Anyway, a little village girl can't make any waves, let alone achieve any scandal.
However, the person standing here at this moment is the future Princess Jin. If Jiang Nianjiao had been less vigilant today and the two of them bathed in the same bath, it would not be her Jiang family who would be embarrassed, but their royal family would also be embarrassed. Clean and tidy.
So thinking of these aspects, although her brother arranged for these four people to be with Zhao Yanzhen, she couldn't keep them by her side now.
What's more, she doesn't want to see Jiang Nianjiao anymore. Jiang Nianjiao is also the future Princess Jin. She can't let these people bully the main wife.
Therefore, Queen Min only said, "I don't think you can abide by the rules. Even the maids of the palace should not be so disciplined. If I continue to keep you, people will inevitably accuse me of being unruly. If you stay with me, you will be unruly." It's a scourge. Someone comes and drags them to the courtyard, beats them with sticks, and then throws them into the alley, never to be hired again."
As soon as Queen Min said these words, the four people were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground at the same time.
***Boy, I'm afraid half of my life will be lost. Moreover, the work arranged after entering Yongxiang in this way will definitely be the most tiring work. If the wounds are not treated, instead of dying on the execution bench on the spot, I am afraid that I will die of illness due to infection later.
Therefore, when they heard this punishment, the four people immediately begged. Jiang Nianjiao knew that Queen Min was very strict about etiquette and regulations, so she didn't say much at this time.
On the contrary, it was Zhen Zhu who just now immediately expressed her love for Jiang Nianjiao.
Thinking that this girl was still innocent and that the other people would probably not appear next to Zhao Yanzhen in the future, she couldn't help but plead for them, "Queen, why don't we just leave the mother-in-law alone."
The queen gave Jiang Nianjiao a cold look and said, "Miss Jiang is kind and righteous, but the palace orders and laws cannot be abolished. They are the maids of Chengde Palace and they should set an example. Now that they have caused such a thing, how can I condone it today?" If we allow them once, more people will surely follow suit in the future. From what I see, this incident should not only let them know the pain, but also serve as a warning to others."
Thinking of this, Queen Min even said to Qiu Wan, "Qiu Wan, go and inform the palace officials of Chengde Palace to gather in the courtyard."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't expect that her plea would actually make their punishment worse.
Even after Queen Min ordered Qiu Wan, she only taught Jiang Nianjiao a lesson: "In the future, you will also become the mistress of the palace. If you indulge blindly, you will inevitably be looked down upon. You can follow me to the courtyard." .”
After saying this, Empress Min just educated Jiang Nianjiao again.
When she was about to arrive at the compound, Jiang Nianjiao just thought of a new excuse and said, "But don't talk about them, even those men are afraid of losing half of their lives. Now that Tiancheng Festival is approaching, it is the saint." On his birthday, if someone is killed at this time, it would be bad for His Highness Prince Jin to be talked about."
At this time, all kinds of royal joys will almost always have some amnesty decrees. Ordinary minor offenders can be forgiven, let alone these palace people.
Moreover, these palace maids were given to Yanzhen by her brother. She had really wanted one of them to become Yanzhen's concubines. If they hadn't gone too far today, she wouldn't have punished her so severely. they.
Queen Min thought
After thinking about it, I finally decided to change the *** board just now.
Although it is much lighter than the stick, those who perform cane punishment in these palaces are not vegetarians, and the skin and flesh will be bruised for sure.
Therefore, as long as this level can be achieved, the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys can also be achieved.
Later, when everyone came to the courtyard, Queen Min considered that Jiang Nianjiao was in a mess at the moment, so she allowed Jiang Nianjiao to take a bath first, and even asked Qiu Wan beside her to find a new pair of clothes for her before going over.
This time Jiang Nianjiao no longer has to worry about being plotted against.
Therefore, she just took a bath in the bathhouse with confidence. Jiang Nianjiao didn't really want to go to watch the execution, so she even lingered in the bathhouse for a long time. However, she still had to wash herself off, and Queen Min's People come here from time to time to urge you.
After that, Jiang Nianjiao had no choice but to get up.
After she changed into clean clothes, Qiu Wan, who was outside, led her to the courtyard.
When Jiang Nianjiao arrived at the courtyard, she could hear a nun giving lectures to the palace people below.
When Queen Min saw her coming, she asked those people to start the execution.
Jiang Nianjiao saw the stick hitting people and listened to their wails. For a moment, she couldn't help but suspect that Queen Min was actually hitting her with the stick.
