Emperor Yong was naturally unaware of the turbulent undercurrent between them, but when he saw Jiang Nianjiao, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Yesterday was your wedding to Zhen'er. It should have been a good day. If Zhen'er was still alive and Concubine Xian was still here, they would all be very happy today..."
Having said this, Emperor Yong sighed slightly.
When Emperor Yong mentioned these two people, everyone else suddenly did not dare to speak. Everyone knew that Emperor Yong was probably in a sad mood at this time.
Even Jiang Nianjiao didn't speak, but she was not moved.
She didn't know the reason why something happened to Zhao Yanzhen. But if he remembered correctly in his previous life, the son he said he loved the most had his wings broken by his own hands and was sent to Zongzheng Temple as a prisoner.
Moreover, although his aunt committed suicide, if they had not had a dispute that day, Emperor Yong would not have restrained his aunt. Why would her aunt use such means to prove her innocence.
Therefore, in response to Emperor Yong's words, she just looked at her nose with her eyes, and her nose with her heart.
Instead, Concubine Qi advised, "Your Majesty, the deceased is gone. Don't worry about hurting your body by thinking too much. Besides, if Concubine Xian and His Highness the Third Highness knew about it, they might not be able to help but worry about His Majesty's health."
After listening to Concubine Qi's advice, Emperor Yong did not speak. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Concubine Qi said that today is a happy event, and I shouldn't bring this up to spoil everyone's fun."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Princess, from now on, you will be in charge of Prince Jin's Mansion, and the personnel in the mansion will naturally be at your disposal. I know that when you were a young lady in the Jiang Mansion, you were able to manage the affairs of the family. You are well organized, and your father often praises you in front of me."
"But the situation in this palace is different from that in Jiang's palace. In order to help you take charge of the internal affairs of Prince Jin's palace as soon as possible, I will give you my sleeve."
After the words fell, Emperor Yong only said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
Hearing this, the group of people who were originally just looking at their noses and noses, were now all shocked and grinning from ear to ear.
You must know that this sleeve is a palace attendant of Emperor Yong. Giving the sleeve to Jiang Nianjiao means that Emperor Yong attaches great importance to Princess Jin.
Although Prince Jin is dead, even a princess can receive such treatment. It seems that this princess, although she is alone, has no future in Prince Jin's palace and has no future.
But as long as Emperor Yong is still on the throne, this princess may still have some friendship value.
While others were thinking about it, Jiang Nianjiao slowly stood up and thanked Emperor Yong in a low voice.
Then Emperor Yong only kept Jiang Nianjiao and gave him a banquet.
Although most of the people at the banquet were female relatives, because of Emperor Yong's statement just now, everyone treated her much warmer.
Even the now-famous Concubine Qi De was only as kind to Jiang Nianjiao as a tolerant elder. Even after the party was over, she only kept Jiang Nianjiao in her palace to talk privately for a while. .
"If the princess is bored in the future, she can come to the palace as often as before. Although sister Xianfei is gone, if the princess doesn't mind, you can treat me as your relative. I also liked sister Xianfei very well before. I have taken care of her, but unfortunately I have never been able to repay her. If the princess has any difficulties in the future, she can come to me."
Jiang Nianjiao only seemed a little distant from her expression.
However, Concubine Qi seemed to turn a blind eye to this. She only kept talking about Concubine Yuxian's past, as if she was nostalgic about it, and she seemed to be hiding a plan.
And among those who came to see the gift today, apart from Emperor Yong, she was the one who prepared the richest gift for herself.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally didn't think that Concubine Qi was so affectionate because of her aunt, so she only responded to Concubine Qi De's words indifferently.
After that, Concubine Qi De only let her see the tenth prince again.
Jiang Nianjiao, who was supposed to leave the palace after noon after the last chat, was only delayed until three o'clock in the afternoon.
She didn't think much about Concubine Qi De, but after hearing her mention her aunt repeatedly, she couldn't help but want to visit Yuxiu Palace.
When she arrived at Yuxiu Palace, she saw that the palace doors were locked inside and outside, and there was no one around.
The only lively thing in this depth is the wintersweet tree growing out of the wall.
Although the death of the wise concubine
It didn't take long.
But reflecting on the delicate laughter of young girls not far away, and the deserted Yuxiu Palace, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel that things are different and people are different.
She stepped towards the drooping wintersweet, intending to break off a flower. However, when she was about to get closer, she could clearly hear someone crying quietly, and there seemed to be curls of green smoke rising from under the flower.
She couldn't help but call out, "Who's there?"
Hearing her voice, the crying woman immediately stood up and left quickly.
However, when she stood up, Jiang Nianjiao recognized the person just by looking at his back. After all, the only people who could come here to pay homage would be the former Yuxiu Palace, and she was very interested in the maids of Yuxiu Palace. It's very familiar.
She spoke up and asked "But Aunt Coriander?"
The woman didn't answer, but walked more and more hastily.
Jiang Nianjiao quickly chased after him.
After chasing like this for a while, Jiang Nianjiao also figured out the connection. She probably thought that Aunt Coriander thought she was from the palace.
And it should be against the palace rules for her to burn paper in the palace at this time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao quickly called out, "Auntie, don't be afraid! It's me! Jiang Nianjiao."
After hearing this, the woman stopped and saw that it was Jiang Nianjiao, and she couldn't help but shed some tears in her eyes.
Jiang Nianjiao obviously didn't expect to meet her old friend here. She couldn't help but said with joy, "I didn't expect it was really Aunt Coriander."
"Why are you here today?" Coriander asked, holding back tears.
Jiang Nianjiao just lowered her head and said, "I married His Highness Prince Jin, and I came to the palace today to express my gratitude."
Hearing this, Coriander was just shocked.
But when she saw the people around Jiang Nianjiao, she couldn't say anything. She just rubbed her round hands and murmured, "That's fine."
They were both very happy when they met each other.
But at this moment, there are thousands of things to say but I don’t know where to start.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally noticed that the palace clothes worn by Aunt Coriander were made of very rough fabric. And there was almost no hairpin on her bun.
Aunt Coriander used to be the most concerned about her clothes.
And when Jiang Nianjiao lowered her head, she saw that her originally very delicate hands had become extremely rough, and those hands were even covered with frostbite. Her hands were red and swollen from the cold, and maybe she felt itching. She just rubbed the red and swollen area from time to time.
How could Coriander be so miserable in the past? Seeing her suddenly aged several years, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but say, "Aunt Coriander, how have you been recently? Where do you work now?"
"Ms. Lao, I'm worried. I'm doing fine now. I only work in the clothing bureau. I came here today as I had free time. I thought of my empress, so I came to have a look around. I didn't expect to see the girl again." Coriander said a little He smiled awkwardly.
"I didn't expect to see you again, but you used to be the eldest maid of Yuxiu Palace, and Yuxiu Palace has always been kind to others. Logically speaking, you should be transferred to a regular position and be an aunt. Why are you here in Huan now? Working in a clothes bureau?" Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Coriander originally just wanted to brush this matter off. If others didn't want to take this trouble, they probably wouldn't take it to heart. She didn't expect that Jiang Nianjiao was unwilling to pretend to be deaf and dumb about it.
As if to ease Jiang Nianjiao's worries, she just chuckled, "Don't worry, girl, no one will make things difficult for me. Even the Concubine De wanted the slave to go to her palace after the death of the master, but the slave only recognized Concubine Xian in her heart." master."
"I invited you to the Clothes Bureau on my own. I didn't keep my wife, and I'm guilty of a serious crime."
After saying this, Coriander burst into tears, "Girl, on the day of the accident, I was supposed to be on duty, but the empress said that I don't need to be on duty today. After listening to her words, I remembered that I still had two things that I hadn't washed. The clothes went out, but I really didn’t expect that going out would separate yin and yang. After that, I often thought, if I insisted on staying with the queen that day instead of leaving for those two clothes, would the queen not be there that day? Will die."
Jiang Nianjiao felt a sore nose when she heard this. She often wondered if she would have been able to save her aunt if she had been firmer that day.
But it won’t change if so much
It’s a fact that’s already determined.
And seeing how Coriander was blaming herself for this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Coriander.
If Emperor Yong said that he missed his aunt, Jiang Nianjiao would not be moved, and would even think that he was just putting on a show.
But seeing Coriander like this, she really didn't want Coriander to suffer like this for her aunt again.
She whispered, "Aunt Coriander, the dead are gone and the living are gone. There are so many what-ifs in this matter. Besides, your aunt's death is not your fault. You should not punish yourself for a mistake that does not belong to you." .”
When Coriander heard this, she just smiled and said, "That's what the girl said." @
But Jiang Nianjiao knew that her words might not be heard in her heart.
So she just said, "Aunt Coriander, if you are willing in the future, why not go to Prince Jin's Mansion for retirement."
Coriander shook his head and said, "As people grow old, they can't always adapt to new places. Besides, I also want to be closer to my queen. If I can come and visit my queen from time to time, I will feel better. However, I still thank you." of good intentions.”
Knowing that she might not be able to persuade Coriander at the moment, Jiang Nianjiao didn't say anything more. She just put a seal in Coriander's hand and said, "Auntie, if something happens to you, you can come to me with this seal anytime." .”
Coriander nodded naturally when he heard this, and the two of them just talked for a while. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, if they didn't leave the palace, the palace door would probably have to be locked.
Therefore, Lingxiu on the side couldn't help but remind her, "Girl, it's getting late, should we leave the palace?"
Hearing this reminder, Jiang Nianjiao had to say goodbye to Coriander.
