That day in the palace, during the final round of selecting the prince's concubine, only the five of them were left. Concubine Jiao Xian suddenly appeared, and Mei Lin and several other official ladies knelt down to Concubine Jiao Xian.
Concubine Jiao Xian was very dazzling in her palace attire. She congratulated her with friendly words, but she didn't ask them to get up together.
Concubine Jiao Xian easily called out the names of the other three ladies, and affectionately asked them to come to them, pulling them to greet them.
Then Concubine Jiao Xian called Yu Jue up again, and after a few words of greeting, she asked her to stand aside.
Only Mei Lin and Concubine Jiao Xian seemed not to notice.
In the entire hall, Mei Lin was the only one kneeling there. Listening to Concubine Jiao Xian and the other ladies talking and laughing there as if no one else was around, Mei Lin felt extremely humiliated.
Later, after about a cup of tea, Concubine Jiao Xian seemed to have just seen her and asked Mei Lin to get up.
But then he said something nonchalantly,
"It's not necessarily the phoenix that flies up the branch. Sometimes, a chicken can jump up with a little effort and luck. However, a chicken is a chicken. No matter how hard you hide it, you can't be reborn and become a phoenix!"
Mei Lin felt extremely embarrassed, ashamed and angry, but she could only lower her head and pretend not to know that she was mocking her. After Concubine Jiao Xian said that, she walked away.
Mei Lin didn't understand how she had offended Concubine Jiao Xian.
After much thought, she attributed a large part of the reason to Ji Jun and Ji Min!
He must have been implicated by the two of them!
Secondly, Concubine Jiao Xian must be at odds with the third and fourth princes! If you don't see them being kind, you will naturally not feel good about yourself.
As for the other three young ladies, Concubine Jiao Xian was just pretending to belittle herself!
Don’t be afraid to settle accounts! After she enters the prince's mansion, she will slowly deal with the Ji sisters!
Now, she wants to suppress Concubine Jiao Xian's limelight first!
Mei Lin knew that Concubine Jiao Xian had always been very taboo and afraid of curses, and she would often use these methods to deal with people she didn't like.
However, the art of overpowering was strictly prohibited in the palace, so Concubine Jiao Xian had to rely on trusted people to help her do these things outside the palace.
Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle was helping her do this.
Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle was uneducated and incompetent since he was a child. He was also lazy and idle all day long. He was too lazy to go to the yamen for free, so he still has no official position.
Concubine Jiao Xian's father studied peacefully, studied hard, and achieved fame. He also married a woman from a high-ranking family and gradually reached the position of minister.
The daughter even entered the palace and became a virtuous concubine. Therefore, the Jiao family's lintel was also honored.
But because of this uncle's incompetence, Concubine Jiao Xian was somewhat hindered.
But Concubine Jiao Xian had to rely on this uncle in order to do some secretive things that she didn't want to do to others.
Jiao Shilang himself was very disgusted with the pressure, but his daughter was a virtuous concubine, and Jiao Xianfei was not as obedient as before.
Moreover, Concubine Jiao Xian was a very aggressive person. The more she objected, the more insistent she would become, and Shilang Jiao could not dissuade her at all.
Jiao Shilang did not dare to speak out, fearing that if the news spread, he would be killed.
As a last resort, he took a compromise plan. Jiao Shilang told the public that his parents gave him a dream and they couldn't worry about their youngest son.
Therefore, Shilang Jiao let his younger brother live in the Jiao family's ancestral house where the ancestors were worshipped.
Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle was able to calm down at dawn and dusk, receiving the blessings of his ancestors. At the same time, he offered incense to his ancestors every day for his elder brother. This was considered as the eldest brother's care for his younger brother.
Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle helped Concubine Jiao Xian do these shameful things. Naturally, Concubine Jiao and Concubine Jiao Xian would also be responsible for his daily expenses, so their life was very comfortable.
Mei Lin has deep resentment towards Concubine Jiao Xian.
In particular, he wanted to bring down the two princes under Concubine Jiao Xian's knees and make them embark on a muddy road of decline!
After the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince were completely eliminated from the royal family, look at how Concubine Jiao Xian still shows off her power!
When Mei Lin heard that Concubine Jiao Xian asked Hong Peiju to give a daughter to her uncle as a stepmother, Mei Lin thought of this method.
But Meilin knew that Baochang might not dare to do it, and he might not agree to do it, but that didn't matter, she could bribe the maids around Baochang.
But now that Baochang and Hong Peiju have broken up, it actually gives Meilin a chance!
After all, Shen Ying is obedient and ambitious. Shen Ying is more valuable than Bao Chang!
After Shen Ying enters the house, as the head matron of the house, she can enter the Jiao family ancestral hall at will and put cursed objects into the Jiao family ancestral hall. It is not easy!
If Shen Ying betrays her, Mei Lin doesn't care. She can completely solve Shen Ying's tricks.
Mei Lin could also take advantage of Shen Ying's unpreparedness and put cursed objects on her clothes. Shen Ying would walk back and forth in the Jiao family's house, fearing that she would not be able to drag down Concubine Jiao Xian's fortune!
On the third day after Bao Chang came to Dangui Garden, Li Mi urgently called Ji Jun and Ji Min to the "good neighbors" to discuss countermeasures.
After Li Mi saw the two sisters, he immediately asked,
"Why did you get involved in the affairs of Bao Chang and Jiao Xianfei's family?"
"Ah?" The two were confused when asked, who was involved?
Besides, why did the news spread so quickly? Didn't it say that the Hou Mansion had blocked the news?
Li Mi knew the rumors were true as soon as he saw their expressions, and sighed,
"What do you think can really be suppressed? There are informants everywhere in the Hou Mansion now! In addition to ours, there are also those of Duke Chen and Concubine Jiao Xian! Do you know how the two princes and I knew about it? ?”
Ji Jun and Ji Yin both shook their heads and thought to themselves, it’s not like we didn’t have time to send you a message! Mainly, I feel that this matter is not too urgent.
Li Mi said,
"I heard it in Chen Guogong's mansion! Our spies in Chen Guogong sent people to tell us that Chen Guogong knew that Hong Peiju was going to use a maid to replace Bao Chang to marry Jiao Xianfei's uncle. I also heard Chen Guogong tell Yin Hong that he didn't expect that the Ji family would do this. The two sisters are quite courageous. They dare to interfere in the marriage of Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle's family! Using a girl who is already married to Hong Peiju to marry Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle will disgust Concubine Jiao Xian to death! These two girls' You are so brave! You underestimated them!"
When Ji Jun and Ji Min heard this, they immediately became anxious!
What is this?
Ji Jun said anxiously,
"Cousin, can you figure it out? Who stuffed the maid? We don't know at all, okay?"
Ji Min was also very anxious and said,
"Cousin, although we sympathize with Baochang's experience, what we always wanted was to help her escape from marriage. We even thought that if it really didn't work out, we would find a way to get divorced or be divorced after Baochang got married! We never thought about it at all. I don't intend to give a so-called maid to Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle. Wouldn't that harm another maid? Where to start? "
Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Before he came, he thought that the two sisters were temporarily out of their minds and wanted to "Li Dai Tao Zhan" to save Bao Chang.
Li Mi frowned slightly, thinking seriously.
"It seems like someone is deliberately framing him!"
Ji Jun couldn't help but feel very annoyed. She thought that it was most likely Mei Lin who was behind the scenes, and that only Mei Lin had such a scheming and plan. Moreover, she hated her two sisters so much that she wished Concubine Jiao Xian could deal with her with all her strength!
However, this trick is a good one for Mei Lin, because Bao Chang is living in Dangui Garden after all. Even if Bao Chang escapes to Dangui Garden by himself, as long as the person who gets married is not Bao Chang, it will be fine. It must be said that Danguiyuan "protected" Bao Chang, and Concubine Jiao Xian would also hate herself.
Li Mi's deep eyes were full of concern, and he looked at Ji Jundao with burning eyes,
"Cousin, actually, I'm not too worried about Ni'er. After all, my uncle and aunt are on the front line now. Concubine Jiao Xian doesn't dare to do anything to her. If she is unfavorable to Ni'er, she will definitely be impeached. This will also affect She does not dare to make any mistakes regarding the future future of the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince. However, I am worried that you will suffer her revenge! After discussing with Prince Huan, I plan to send you out of the city. Think about it now, you are going back to southern Xinjiang Go to your mother, or go to your uncle's army in the north, no matter what, I will protect you!"
Ji Jun was moved after hearing this, and felt waves of warmth flowing in his heart. No matter what, Li Mi had himself in his heart and had planned a way out for himself.
But Ji Jun felt a little unwilling to leave so rashly, because the purpose of the Xuelan Pearl was not yet known. If she left, what would happen to Yi'er and Li Guogong and his son's poison?
Ji Min knew what he was thinking and comforted him,
"Cousin, you should listen to my cousin and leave the capital as soon as possible. Concubine Jiao Xian is bound to retaliate, and I'm worried that she will attack you. Moreover, my poison has been relieved a lot now. I will wait until Bao Chang's parents arrive in the capital. , Bao Chang must give us that picture, and by then, we can detoxify my poison even if we have the Xuelan Pearl."
Ji Jun still shook his head and said,
"But what if my Gu is still needed at that time? By then, wouldn't it be true that even with the Blood Orb, it would still be useless?"
In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian looked restless, her beautiful eyes were extremely cold at the moment, and a trembling palace maid was kneeling below her.
After a long time, Concubine Jiao Xian asked in a deep voice,
"Did Duke Chen Guo do it?"
The palace maid did not dare to raise her head and tried to keep her voice steady.
"The servants only heard from Hong Chongrong and Li Xiurong that the autumn period was approaching, and the fifth prince wanted to give advice to the emperor. He said that the Northern Juzi lived in a bitter cold place and was far away from the capital. He traveled a long distance to serve the imperial court and suggested that the Holy Emperor increase the number of admissions for the Northern Juzi. In this way, many southern princes who were attached to Chen Guogong were very dissatisfied. Chen Guogong also had resentment towards his empress."
Concubine Jiao Xian's eyes flashed fiercely, and immediately, a smug smile appeared in a sinister way.
