Regardless of everything else, Mo Liang has been very good to Shuanghua and Ruixue over the years.
Shuanghua wrung her hands, struggling internally.
Having been in charge of the inner palace for many years, Jiang Shu could tell at a glance what Shuang Hua was thinking, and said in a cold voice: "You must understand who is the master of this palace."
Hearing this, Shuanghua was shocked and couldn't help but think of Ruixue's death.
Immediately he did not dare to lie anymore and said truthfully: "Yes, but in the past years, the general affairs in the mansion were taken care of by Manager Mo. There is no need to report to the prince, and it is directly handled by Manager Mo."
The implication is that Yu Zheng has been deceived for many years without knowing it.
It was just as she expected! Jiang Shu frowned.
For five years, Mo Liang had a deep foundation in the government. If he moved him, he would affect the whole government, which was very difficult.
She had to think of a safe way.
Shuanghua carefully looked at Jiang Shu's face, and when she saw Jiang Shu's face was condensed and her almond-shaped eyes were cold, she knew that Mo Liang would be hard to be kind this time.
It's strange that Mo Liang was greedy, just like in previous years. This year Jiang Shu had just entered the palace and he had to be strictly controlled, but Mo Liang was so bold that he dared to commit crimes against the wind.
Although Jiang Shu was born as a merchant, she was very different from the daughter of ordinary merchants. Not only can she do business and settle accounts, but she has also been the mistress of the Hou Mansion for six years, so she is very familiar with taking care of the household affairs.
Mo Liang's move is tantamount to pulling out the beard from a tiger's mouth.
Knowing that Shuanghua had been cared for by Mo Liang, Jiang Shu warned: "If you want to stay in the palace, you must know who you are loyal to. If you knowingly commit a crime, don't blame me for being merciless."
This is a warning to Shuanghua not to inform Mo Liang.
"Yes, this servant is only loyal to the prince and princess." Shuanghua expressed her stance solemnly, clenching her hands.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Jiang Shu doesn't want to make a big move at this time. In addition, her pregnancy is not stable, so she plans to wait until the New Year for further investigation and treatment.
At that time, Mo Liang relaxed his vigilance and became more aggressive.
Shuanghua always remembered Jiang Shu's words and didn't dare to say anything when she met Mo Liang in the house.
But Mo Liang and everyone in the mansion were warned by Jiang Shu and did not dare to act rashly again.
You can't really betray someone for a few dozen taels of silver, right?
The house had been peaceful for a while, and it was already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
During this period, Jiang Ning came to the palace to see Jiang Shu twice.
On this day, Yu Zheng finally had a rest after attending his last morning court session this year.
After breakfast, the weather was fine, and Yu Zheng walked around the garden with Jiang Shu for a while.
Red lanterns are hung everywhere in the mansion, and Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters are pasted on the gate and courtyard, which is full of Chinese New Year flavor.
Yu Zheng stayed with Jiang Shu in the mansion for two days, and went out on the 29th.
Yu Zheng only said that he had something to do, and Jiang Shu didn't ask any more questions.
On the thirtieth day, after breakfast, the two of them prepared to enter the palace.
Shuanghua puts Jiang Shu into a princess's formal attire and a beaded crown.
The weather was cold and cold, so Chu Yu brought a brand new fur cloak and wanted to put it on Jiang Shu.
"When was this done?" Jiang Shu asked in surprise.
The fur cloak in front of me has a moon-blue Sichuan brocade outer layer, embroidered with proud snowy red plum blossoms. The inner layer is pure white ferret fur, without a trace of color, which is extremely rare and rare.
If such a valuable thing was made by the government, Jiang Shu would definitely be informed.
But Jiang Shu didn't know it at all, so there must be something fishy about it.
"You know you can't hide it from the princess." Chu Yu chuckled, looked at Yu Zheng and said, "The prince made this for the princess at Jiangji Silk Shop, and I just got it back yesterday."
Jiang Shu heard this and turned to look at Yu Zheng, surprised and happy.
"Do you like it?" Yu Zheng stepped forward, took the cloak from Chu Yu, and put it on Jiang Shu and tied it himself.
"I like it, I like it very much." Jiang Shu threw herself into Yu Zheng's arms, looked up at him and said, "I also prepared a New Year's gift for my husband."
"Oh? What is it?" Yu Zheng was looking forward to it.
Jiang Shu ordered Chu Yu.
Chu Yu turned around and went to the inner closet and took out a fur cloak.
When Yu Zheng saw it, his dark eyes flashed slightly.
They actually had a good understanding and prepared the same New Year's gift for each other.
Chu Yu shook off the big cloak and said, "This is sewn by the princess herself, and the embroidery on the outer layer is also embroidered by the princess herself."
When Yu Zheng heard this, he kissed Jiang Shu's forehead emotionally: "I like Shu'er's thoughts very much."
"Husband, try to see if it fits you." Jiang Shu let go of Yu Zheng, took the cloak and put it on for him.
The outer layer of the cloak is dark blue purple Shu brocade, Jiang Shu embroidered cedar patterns with silver thread, and the inner layer is silver-blue mink fur.
Jiang Shu tidied it up for Yu Zheng, took a few steps back and took a look, feeling very satisfied.
Yu Zheng was already dignified and dignified. Putting on this big cloak, he added a bit of restrained nobility, making him look as majestic as an inviolable god.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Shu couldn't help but admire.
Yu Zheng stretched out his long arm and pulled her to him, raised his eyebrows and asked her: "Is the person more beautiful or the clothes more beautiful?"
Jiang Shu said seriously: "Well, they all look good, and they look particularly good together."
Chu Yu and others stood aside, pursed their lips and snickered.
One is blue and the other is purple, one is bright and the other is bright, the two of them are a perfect match in terms of their clothes and appearance.
"Master, the carriage is ready." Zhuiyun reported outside the house.
"Let's go." Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu's soft little hand, and the two of them entered the palace for the banquet together.
Because Jiang Shu was pregnant, the emperor specially allowed her to ride in a sedan chair after entering the palace.
Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed to be treated so favorably.
Yu Zheng followed him into the sedan chair and pretended to sigh: "I also benefit from Shu'er's glory."
"My husband will make fun of me." Jiang Shu's face turned slightly red.
The sedan chair was carried by the palace servants. It was so close that they could hear what the two of them said.
In order not to make people laugh, Jiang Shu sat upright and smiled at Yu Zheng.
The formal palace banquet was held in the evening, and each went to visit his mother and concubine during the day.
When Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu arrived at Zhongling Palace, Yu Lan and Zhuang Yun had arrived early.
"Uncle, aunt." Zhuang Yun greeted him with dignity.
Concubine Yu was sitting at the top, and Yu Lan was sitting next to her.
"Mother, sister." Yu Zheng greeted Jiang Shu.
The Chinese New Year is a big day, and according to the rules, the emperor must be in the Queen's Palace and cannot come to Zhongling Palace.
"Sit down quickly." Concubine Yu Gui smiled broadly, her eyes falling on Jiang Shu's belly.
"How are you doing lately? Has the child bothered you?"
Jiang Shu replied softly: "Thank you, Concubine, for caring. Everything is fine."
Although Jiang Shu suffered from morning sickness, it was not serious and could not be considered a disaster.
"That's good." Concubine Yu Gui felt relieved after hearing this, and finally looked at Yu Zheng and said angrily: "You don't know, when I was pregnant with Zheng's son, he might have been writhing in my belly, and I was so upset before he came out. I want to beat him.”
"Pfft——" Yu Lan and Jiang Shu were amused.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yu Zhengjun's face, and he raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose.
Zhuang Yun asked smartly: "Did grandma beat my uncle after he came out?"
"Of course I was beaten, and she was beaten very hard." Concubine Yu said with a serious face.
Zhuang Yun asked curiously: "Did uncle cry?"
Yu Lan said urgently: "If he doesn't cry, he will be beaten."
"Ah?" Zhuang Yun was puzzled, and neither was Jiang Shu.
Concubine Yu explained slowly: "When a baby is born, he has to cry so that he can learn to breathe and survive."
"But your uncle was born to be stubborn and refused to cry no matter what. The nuns didn't dare to spank him, so I forced myself to sit up and spank him."
"It took five lashes in a row until his butt turned red before he cried out."
"So, if he doesn't cry, he will be beaten." Yu Lan joked mercilessly.
