"Jiang Xinyue, what does she mean?"
Concubine Yu had been very tired these days. After finally waiting for the Queen's coffin to leave, she had time to rest and received another letter from Guangdong.
His father asked in the letter, how was her relationship with Concubine Zhenxian?
It is said that the emperor sent an imperial minister named Jiang Yanxi to inspect Guangdong and Guangxi. The officials there had never seen Jiang Yanxi and didn't know what he looked like.
They only knew that Concubine Zhenxian and Jiang Yanxi in the palace were one family.
Jiang Yanxi was also cunning. When he arrived in Guangdong, he did not reveal his identity and went to the government office to see Governor Yu. Instead, he went incognito for a private visit.
The man was cunning. They sent many people to look for him but couldn't find him. They could only write to the capital and ask if Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian had a good relationship.
If Jiang Yanxi really finds out something, if Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian have a good relationship, they can help intercede.
If this letter had come to Jiang Xinyue just after entering the palace and before entering the cold palace, then she could pat her chest and guarantee that this matter would be taken care of by her and there would be no problem.
But now is the time when she and Concubine Xian are almost at odds!
no!
We have to find a way to make Jiang Xinyue fall out of favor.
Painting Academy——
Xie Chenghui handed the newly drawn funeral ceremony drawing of the queen to Shangguan, and someone came from outside: "Painter Xie, the emperor sent you to Qianqing Palace to paint a portrait of the emperor and Empress Xiaoxian Xuanwen."
Xie Chenghui, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the legitimate son of Xie Bing, the imperial examination champion three years ago, was able to write at the age of three and poetry at the age of five. At the age of seven, he was already known as the prodigy of painting.
He had just turned seventeen this year and was admitted to the Art Academy under special circumstances. His painting style was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanwu. Therefore, he was appointed by the Emperor to paint the funeral ceremony of Empress Xiaoxian Xuanwen only three days after joining the Art Academy.
Although the queen's coffin was transported to the imperial mausoleum for burial, the queen's tablet must also be enshrined in the palace.
When the empresses of the Yan Dynasty were alive, they would join the emperor in painting. However, Emperor Xuanwu always felt that she and the empress had a long way to go and had a lot of time, so he was always busy with government affairs and did not pay attention to it.
Now that he was gone, he felt that he actually owed the queen a lot.
If the queen hadn't been born into a rebellious family like the Zhu family, he thought, he and the queen would not have ended up being suspicious of each other.
He would not, would not have murderous intentions towards the Queen, and she would notice it.
The honor that cannot be given to her during her lifetime can only be made up to her after her death.
When the Queen's funeral procession came out of the palace, people knelt down one after another along the way. The Zhu family members who were mixed in the crowd couldn't even pay homage to the Queen.
Zhu Jianshen, the head of the Zhu family, has been assassinated frequently in the past month. He has always been very cautious and protected by many masters around him, so it is impossible for him to be assassinated.
But when the news of the Queen's death came back to Chang'an, the eagle-like man also shed tears.
Late at night, Zhu Jianshen got drunk and ran to the stable to ride a horse. He secretly left the house and was found the next day. His body fell in the city gate tower.
He was just a little bit away from riding out of the city.
He died by having his throat cut with a sword.
The retainers of the Zhu family held the ashes of the family leader and watched the queen's coffin go away: "Are we still going to the palace to report the funeral to the emperor?"
Another middle-aged man in black clenched his fists with both hands: "Go, but before I go, I have to go to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to avenge the eldest lady."
That old immortal in Duke Cheng's mansion actually dared to beat their eldest daughter, and Concubine De also framed the eldest daughter. Wasn't it because she was concerned about their eldest daughter's position as queen?
They suspected that the assassin who assassinated the head of the family was sent by the Duke of Chengguo. The purpose of coming to the capital was to defeat Concubine De's conspiracy.
Even if he loses his life for this, he must avenge the head of the family and the eldest lady.
The empress's coffin left the palace, and the ministers and concubines also left the palace. The entire harem fell into an unprecedented silence.
In order to show his affection for the queen, the emperor became a vegetarian for three months, so naturally he was not allowed to enter the harem.
Aunt Xiang led an honest woman about thirty years old to Hexi Palace: "When you meet the Concubine Xian, remember to salute. You are the nanny recommended by Aunt Li. The empress will trust you. Don't say anything." You have betrayed your trust."
The nanny was plump and looked chubby, with a very kind face. She was only wearing a coarse linen dress with a few patches on it, which showed that she came from a poor family.
"Young one, I know."
Aunt Xiang shook her head: "I forgot what I told you just now. You have to call yourself a slave in the palace."
"Yes, yes... this slave knows."
"You and I don't need to call ourselves slaves. We only call ourselves slaves when we respond to our masters."
Mrs. Lu scratched her head: "I understand."
Why!
Xiang Mammy sighed and could only teach slowly.
In fact, none of the nannies the Emperor had found were satisfied with the Xianfei. It happened that Grandma Li asked the purchasing eunuch to send a letter to the palace, saying that she had found a good one for the Sixth Prince, who was honest and had a lot of strength. , the milk is good, and the most important thing is that she has breastfed seven daughters.
Because she never gave birth to a son, she was almost beaten to death by a man in her family. It was Grandma Li who saved her and helped her get Li Lishu.
As a result, the man kicked his seven daughters out of the house. Ms. Lu had no choice but to ask Aunt Li for help. Aunt Li deliberately tested her and asked her to sell all her seven daughters so that she could live a good life.
However, Mrs. Lu refused at all costs, saying that her daughters were also the flesh that fell from her own body, and she would raise them up even if she died.
Grandma Li then relaxed and allowed seven girls to work as maids in her house to cook, cook and wash clothes. However, she did not let them sign the deed of sale. In fact, she was taking care of her seven daughters in disguise until she left the palace in the future. , you can pick up your daughters at any time.
Jiang Xinyue looked Lu Shi up and down. Lu Shi was kneeling on the ground. Although she was scared, she still suppressed her inferiority complex and lowered her eyes, letting her look at her.
"Keep your head up."
Eyes are the window to a person's soul. Most ordinary people are honest and honest. If she is the kind of person who hides adultery, you don't need to test anything. You can see the person's character from her eyes.
Although Ms. Lu was nervous, her eyes were clear and she did not dodge. She just looked a little uneasy because she had never been to the palace or met a noble person.
"It's a good one." Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang, I'll leave it to you to teach her the rules."
Mammy Xiang responded: "Yes."
Jiang Xinyue comforted Mrs. Lu again: "You and Aunt Xiang will live in the Sixth Prince's palace. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Zhang. As long as you protect the Sixth Prince and don't let him get hurt, I will be careful." There’s a reward.”
Mrs. Lu thought of the beautiful scene when Aunt Li returned to her hometown in fine clothes and was carried back to the village in a small sedan chair. She secretly swore in her heart that she would feed the Sixth Prince until he was fat and white. In the future, the noble lady would also grant her gold and silver, making her feel proud and proud. Back.
