Yes, how could she forget that Jiang Huaijing slept at Xue Xiangrong's place yesterday?
But the words had already been spoken, and Xue Yingxue could only force a smile and stick to her statement, "Yes, this morning the emperor went to court, and I went to ask for instructions specifically."
"Before coming, my sister went to the imperial dining room to ask about the meals that were given to Xiao Yu'er recently. She made a portion herself and brought it to Xiao Yu'er."
In order to prevent Xue Xiangrong from dwelling on this matter any longer, Xue Yingxue quickly changed the subject.
She asked Lan Yan to take out the food box in his hand, which contained sweet corn soup.
"In this sweet corn soup, I specially added crispy sweet corn kernels that were sent as tribute by the governor of Shandong to keep it safe for our little Yu'er, who loves to eat it!"
Xue Yingxue had a flattering smile on her face, and she personally took out the sweet soup and put it on the table.
Finally, before Xue Xiangrong could speak, she took it upon herself to sit down.
Even right next to Jiang Zao.
[What does this bad woman want to do? Smiling so attentively, he is either a traitor or a thief! You're not going to pinch the baby again, are you? Mother~Dear mother, please save the baby, the baby is going to be pinched! 】
Jiang Zao stared at Xue Xiangrong with pitiful eyes, and stretched out his paws impatiently, begging his mother to save him from the sea of misery.
Xue Xiangrong was wary, and he would not allow Xue Yingxue to get close to his daughter.
She took advantage of Xue Yingxue's sitting down, picked up Jiang Zao, put him in her arms and teased her, "My sister is interested."
"It's just that Yu'er is still young and can't eat such a sweet soup with big lumps in it."
"Although my sister came to see Yu'er today, what she brought was not something Yu'er could eat. I don't want to guess what she was thinking. I hope my sister can calm down."
The implication was that she could not see that Xue Yingxue had other motives behind her flattery.
Right now, I don’t want to pursue her sneaking out, but it’s best to leave quickly!
Xue Xiangrong's warning eyes were almost clear, but she couldn't bear Xue Yingxue's shamelessness.
Although she smiled awkwardly because she brought the wrong soup, she still had no intention of leaving.
"Sister, we are all girls of the Xue family after all. After all, it is our duty to help each other."
[Come on, come on, the shameless bad woman is here again! Mother Xiangxiang, let’s ignore her! 】
Xue Xiangrong hugged Jiang Zao. Although there was a smile on her face, she was only facing Jiang Zao.
"If you want me to help you get rid of this confinement, my sister, don't say anything."
"I also feel that the emperor asked you to rest for the past six months for your own good. And if you have nothing to do, you can also make prayer flags and take them to Anhua Hall to ask the master to burn them and chant them."
"I saw that my sister cared so much about my maid that day. I think I feel heartbroken even on ordinary days."
Xue Yingxue's face suddenly changed, and her red eyes were filled with anger, but she could only hold back.
"Sister, I'm joking. Only servants are the ones who feel sad for their masters. After all, status is insurmountable. Why do you humiliate me to pray for a slave who is full of lies and can only try to seduce the queen?"
It didn't matter to others when they heard this, except that Lan Yan, who was behind Xue Yingxue, looked as pale as a sheet of paper and was swaying slightly as if he couldn't stand still.
【vomit! Bad women are all evil-hearted! Shuiyang clearly died for you, but now he is putting on a show of dignity! My Buddha's mercy is limited to yesterday? Is there a one-day experience card for kind people? 】
With a smile on her lips, Xue Xiangrong secretly pinched her daughter's little arm, but the words that came out of her mouth were ruthless, "My sister pays attention to rules."
Xue Yingxue didn't care at all about the other party's ridicule, but was able to hold back a smile.
"Speaking of rules, there is something about breaking the rules that my sister wants to worry about."
"It's not because I want my sister to speak out about my sister's grounding, but because of the sacrificial ceremony in one month."
Xue Xiangrong frowned, "Sacrifice ceremony?"
Since the Jiang Dynasty entered the Pass, the climate has been extremely dry.
The people often failed to gain anything, and gradually rumors spread that the current saint's virtue was not worthy of his place.
These are the words of someone with treason.
But the people are miserable - taxes remain the same and harvests are halved. How can we make it happen!
Someone has to bear the wrath.
The emperor who enjoys the support of the world is the best candidate.
Therefore, the Royal Association holds two sacrificial ceremonies to pray for rain every month.
That is the face of the royal family.
"Sister, I am not cold-hearted. This sacrificial ceremony is about the emperor's face. Even if my sister has any thoughts that she shouldn't have, it's best to put them away."
Xue Xiangrong's voice was as cold as a mountain stream without any warmth.
Even the face under the phoenix hairpin was full of coldness.
Xue Yingxue was still not angry. Instead, she sat closer to Xue Xiangrong and even held her hand. "Sister, that's not the case. I just want Yu'er to watch the ceremony with me at the sacrifice ceremony."
She smiled, seemingly sincerely, and squeezed Xue Xiangrong's palm.
"My sister is lonely and helpless, and on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, she still needs to offer incense to the emperor. If she doesn't, she will let me take care of Yu'er for a day. Yu'er and I will watch the ceremony, right under my sister's nose."
[Watching the ceremony with you? Pooh! The baby doesn’t want it! If you watch a ceremony with a bad woman, wouldn’t you become the baby of a bad woman? The baby refuses! 】
Xue Xiangrong snorted coldly and slammed the table.
Xue Yingxue was so shocked that she let go of her hand, "Sister, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I still want to ask you!"
Xue Xiangrong hugged Jiang Zao tightly and pushed the tea cup in front of her to the ground, which was full of shock.
Her slightly gentle face was now full of dignity and majesty, and her queenly appearance was enough to make people tremble.
"The rules of our court have always been strict and insurmountable. A young son can only stay with his biological mother when attending sacrifices. Now that you are making such a request, do you want Yu'er to take the opportunity to become your daughter, or do you want to sit on the phoenix throne of this palace! "
"In my opinion, the punishment given to you is not light enough! You actually let your sister have such a desire to take advantage of you!"
Seeing that Xue Xiangrong was angry, as if thinking of the punishment of the past two days, Xue Yingxue couldn't help but weakened her legs and knelt down!
Even she herself was stunned for a moment.
Even two days ago, with her grace, there was no need to be so groveling!
But she just watched Jiang Huaijing become interested in Xue Xiangrong again, leaving her in the cold for a long time!
Xue Yingxue gritted her teeth and could only force a smile and said: "Sister, aren't I thinking about the face of our Xue family?"
"Look, Yu'er is stupid and has damaged your reputation as a queen. Doesn't this make outsiders talk about how you can only give birth to a daughter like this?"
"Put Yu'er with me so that my sister can give birth to the next princess one day. This will add joy to the palace. It is justifiable for my sister to take Yu'er back. And my sister has no children. In the eyes of outsiders, this , after all, I can’t do anything for the royal family, and I’m also worried about the Queen Mother..."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, not caring that Xue Xiangrong's face darkened.
Just as he was about to continue his persuasion, he suddenly received a slap on his face!
