When Jiang Nianjiao opened her eyes again, she felt something wet on her face. She reached out and touched it, only to realize that she was crying.
And in that strange dream that seemed like another world, she finally saw the faces of the two people clearly. Although they looked very young and immature, Jiang Nianjiao still saw the similarity between herself and Zhao Yanzhen from the outline of their faces. sex. And what is very unfortunate is that the little boy's mother seems to call the little boy Xiaozhen, and the little girl's mother even calls the little girl Gillian.
When she heard Gillian's call, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and when she looked at the woman, she felt an inexplicable familiar feeling.
In fact, if I think about it carefully, that woman's face seems to be somewhat similar to Concubine Yuxian.
It's just that Concubine Yuxian is well-maintained and pampered. She looks much younger and more beautiful than the other women.
And the place that was clearly unfamiliar seemed to her to have a certain sense of familiarity.
At least when she was dreaming, she didn't know she was in a dream.
Even if she woke up at this moment, she could only feel a sense of trance, unable to tell whether she was in a dream or not.
But the only thing she was sure of was that she missed Zhao Yanzhen a little at this moment.
It has been more than ten days since he left the capital for Yunzhou. In the past, he would have a letter sent to Fengchen Palace every three or four days, and there was always a page in the letter reserved for himself. And now it has been three days since the last reply.
This dream may be a hint that I should go to Fengchen Palace to see if any letters have been returned recently.
It happened that Jiang Nianjiao had some free time today, and there was nothing new in Prince Liang's palace, so she went to Fengchen Palace after that.
She came very early. She originally thought that Queen Min would probably still be lingering on the bed today, so she would probably not have to worry about morning and dusk during this period.
Unexpectedly, before she stepped into Fengchen Palace, she saw the concubines heading towards Fengchen Palace in twos and threes.
Could it be that Queen Min's body has healed? If that's the case, that would be great.
When she was about to reach the stone steps of Fengchen Palace, she suddenly heard a voice calling "Gillian?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she turned around and saw her aunt. Thinking of the face of the girl in the dream that was very similar to her aunt, she felt warm in her heart for no reason.
She stopped and waited slowly for her aunt to come over. Concubine Yuxian also walked a few steps quickly. She smiled kindly and said, "Why haven't you come to Yuxiu Palace these days?"
Jiang Nianjiao quickly explained, "I haven't entered the palace in the past few days."
Concubine Yuxian smiled, then nodded, "I heard about your cousin-in-law. I was really lucky to have you there that day. If not, Lan'er might not have survived."
Jiang Nianjiao only responded in a low voice, "It is as it should be."
However, seeing that Concubine Yuxian knew about this matter, she thought that this matter would probably be dealt with, so she couldn't help but ask again, "I just don't know how my aunt plans to deal with this matter in the future."
Concubine Yuxian didn't regard Jiang Nianjiao as an outsider, but there were people coming and going in the corridor, and she didn't talk much about family matters, so she just smiled and pulled Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "Come to Yuxiu Palace later, let's talk about it later Is this okay?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally had no objection.
Concubine Yuxian followed her into the inner chamber of Fengchen Palace, but because Jiang Nianjiao was not a concubine in the harem and had not officially entered the palace yet, it was not easy for her to stay in that kind of situation at this time. ..
Fortunately, when the palace attendants of Fengchen Palace saw Jiang Nianjiao, they took the initiative to guide her, and then she was only led to the side hall of Fengchen Palace to wait.
While waiting, she only asked about Queen Min's physical condition.
The palace servant was the rough envoy of the outer courtyard, and she was generally not allowed to get close to Queen Min without permission. However, after all, she was an errand from Fengchen Palace, so she probably knew a little bit about Queen Min's situation. At this moment, she heard that Yan Ye just shook his head. Then he sighed.
"I heard from Miss Qiu Wan that my empress' health is not only not getting better now, but her condition has been getting worse over the past few days."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao only asked hurriedly, "Then why are they still allowed to come here for morning and evening meditation? Didn't His Majesty say that those rules can be temporarily waived for the sake of the queen's physical condition?"
hear ginger
Nianjiao's words, the girl quickly explained, "Your Majesty said so, but it will be the birthday of Emperor Yongwu in a while, and everyone in the palace will go to the Imperial Temple in the northern suburbs to pray for blessings. The empress is not in good health, so this matter is probably She can no longer preside over it, so she invited Concubine Xian to explain the dates for arranging these things in previous years, and to explain that the empresses in charge of the palace must cooperate with Concubine Xian's actions."
After hearing that it was because of this, Jiang Nianjiao didn't say much anymore. After all, a royal outing to pray for blessings was considered a grand event. Although the northern suburbs were not far away, the entire journey was filled with delicate and noble concubines, as well as Emperor Yong and those around him. Sir, if something happens to these people on the road, it will really be a big headache.
Jiang Nianjiao waited for a long time after that. She originally thought that there were too many specific details in the northern suburbs prayer, so she only waited for more than an hour.
Finally, Qiu Wan passed by the side hall and found Jiang Nianjiao there. She couldn't help but curiously asked, "Miss Jiang? Why are you waiting in the side hall? Why don't you go to the main hall?"
Seeing that it was Qiu Wan, Jiang Nianjiao stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty and the other ladies in the palace are discussing the matter of praying for blessings in the northern suburbs. It is inconvenient for me to disturb them."
After hearing this, Qiu Wan was surprised and said, "But all the ladies in the harem have returned to the palace. On the way there, I ran into Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu in the imperial garden."
After Qiu Wan said this, she couldn't help but hold Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "I'm afraid these little palace servants are just having fun and have forgotten about you, girl. I will punish them heavily later. I hope you don't mind, girl." I will take you to see the Queen."
Jiang Nianjiao naturally knew that Qiu Wan's words were just an excuse, but she was not a carefree person, so she just smiled and said, "It's okay."
Then she looked at Qiu Wan and said, "Isn't the girl not on duty at Fengchen Palace today?"
Qiu Wan smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "How did the girl know?"
Jiang Nianjiao looked at the two maids behind her who were carrying things and said, "The bags in the hands of the palace servants behind the girl are bulging, and they don't look like objects from Fengchen Palace."
Qiu Wan smiled and had to answer honestly, "Yes, I will most likely not be able to go to the northern suburbs to pray for blessings. However, she still wanted to do her best for the northern suburbs, so she ordered someone to make a batch of incense early." Bag. I am here to do the finishing work today."
After saying this, Qiu Wan ordered the maid to take out a small goldfish-shaped sachet from the bag and handed it to Jiang Nianjiao and said, "This is a safe sachet. Miss, do you want one?"
Jiang Nianjiao naturally did not refuse when she heard this, but when she mentioned safety, she remembered her purpose of entering the palace today.
Therefore, she only thought about it for a while before asking, "Miss Qiu Wan, speaking of this safe sachet, I wonder if His Highness, Prince Jin, is safe?"
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's hesitant question, Qiu Wan just smiled and said, "I think what the girl wants to ask is not whether His Highness is safe, but whether there is a letter from His Highness?"
Being exposed, Jiang Nianjiao's face turned slightly red.
It was rare for Qiu Wan to see Jiang Nianjiao being shy at times, so she couldn't help but tease her a few more words, "I think that pigeon should not have sent a letter, but should have sent the girl directly there. This would also relieve the girl's pain of lovesickness. It You don’t have to exhaust yourself to death.”
Jiang Nianjiao naturally heard that Qiu Wan was teasing her, and how could she be the one who was obedient enough to be teased? Thinking that she had behaved in a coquettish way just now, Jiang Nianjiao only said, "What Qiu Wan said is true, then if he writes a letter next time, Miss Qiuwan asked the pigeon to send me over to find him."
Hearing this, Qiu Wan quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat. Pigeons can't carry you, and if you really go to find him, I can't bear the responsibility for anything that happens on the way."
"Then do you have a letter from His Highness?" Jiang Nianjiao then asked again.
I don't know if it was Jiang Nianjiao's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Qiu Wan seemed to be deliberately avoiding this question from just now. But now she just asked a question, and an unnatural look flashed in Qiu Wan's eyes, but this strange look was very strange. He quickly restrained himself and said, "Of course not. If Your Highness receives a letter, I will hand it to her without asking."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go see the Queen first."
Qiu Wan stopped the conversation with something, and Jiang Nianjiao naturally couldn't ask further questions. At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the main hall of Fengchen Palace.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao stopped talking and regarded her as
When she and Qiu Wan appeared in the main hall, they saw Queen Min sitting in the main hall leaning on a soft pillow. Next to her was Chen Yanrong, who was sitting upright. But other than that, Mrs. Chen is not here to accompany her.
The two of them were asking questions and answering each other, and they were quite warm to each other.
Jiang Nianjiao was a little surprised that Chen Yanrong would come here alone.
After all, most of the time Chen Yanrong came to the palace with her mother, and since she was embarrassed by her previous fiancé, Chen Yanrong had not been out and about for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao looking at Chen Yanrong, Qiu Wan only explained in a low voice, "Miss Yanrong was summoned by our empress to enter the palace. After all, male students are married and female students are married. That Zhang Yucheng is gone, but our Miss Yanrong's marriage is There can be no delay, so the empress only plans to wait for her health to get better, and then arrange a marriage for her personally, so during this period, this girl Yan Rong will probably have to stay in Fengchen Palace."
After listening to Qiu Wan's explanation, Jiang Nianjiao finally felt at ease. Then she and Qiu Wan walked up at the same time, and then they both paid their respects to Queen Min at the same time.
Queen Min looked at Jiang Nianjiao with some surprise and said, "Why are you here?"
Hearing her words, Jiang Nianjiao felt a strange feeling.
But she still didn't say much.
Then Queen Min only looked at the palace attendants beside her and said, "Didn't I tell you not to bother Miss Jiang to come over during this period? Don't you even take my words seriously?"
After being scolded by Queen Min, the maids in the palace immediately knelt on the ground.
