Maybe the master has already thought of a way!
If you are a servant, stay out of your master's business.
On the first day at the palace, everyone was tired from traveling and traveling, so they only arranged a simple dinner, and everyone ate in their assigned gardens and then rested.
There are exceptions.
After Liu Guiren had dinner, he made an appointment with Zhang Meiren, Zheng Cainu, and Ye Chang to visit the garden together.
Zhang Ronghua was not included in everyone's invitation. Everyone knew that she had fallen out of favor.
Who spends that time socializing with people who don't bring them any benefit?
Jiang Xinyue was served comfortably. She slept most of the time on the boat during the day, so naturally she didn't feel tired.
In later generations, the Chinese treasure Old Summer Palace was robbed and burned by shameless bandits from the Eight Kingdoms, making it impossible for later Chinese people to see the real shock and beauty of the Old Summer Palace with their own eyes.
Although this summer palace is not as ingenious as the Old Summer Palace, it still brings together the exquisite wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. From Jiang Xinyue's perspective, except for the Old Summer Palace, she has never seen such a magnificent and beautiful ancient building in later generations.
Nanny Lu and the eldest princess both got motion sickness and stayed at Changchun Fairy Pavilion to rest. The Sixth Prince had just arrived in a new place and they were afraid that he would not adapt to it, so they did not take him out, so they arranged for Grandma Xiang and Shuang Jiang to take care of him.
Originally, Jiang Xinyue didn't let the magpie come out, but the magpie, using a cane and dragging his sick leg, refused to miss the beautiful scenery and insisted on going to the garden together.
Cheng Jieyu was the most favored among the newcomers and had the highest status. Even if Liu Guiren didn't invite her, someone would still ask her to come.
"Look, Madam, someone seems to be setting off lanterns over there."
In the clear lake that winds downward, several unique lanterns flow down the water, and the faint light sways in the water, adding a bit of artistic conception to the beautiful scenery.
Cheng Jieyu put down the lanterns, and she was the first to open her eyes. The others were still squatting by the river with their eyes closed and making wishes.
In the distance, the imperial concubine was traveling, followed by a long line of palace guards and guards, which was very eye-catching. When Liu Guiren and others got up, Jiang Xinyue and others happened to reach the corner and were blocked by bushes.
Cheng Jieyu also pretended not to see it, sighed and said: "Putting out the lanterns just carries the delusions of our sisters. The emperor loves the imperial concubine, so how can he care about us?" What’s your intention?”
Zhang Mei and Zheng Cainu had never even seen the emperor, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they heard this: "Before entering the palace, my father gave many instructions, hoping that I could get the favor and bring glory to the family, but I never thought..."
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li left, and then came Concubine Huang, who was more difficult to deal with.
The topic is getting a little sad at this point.
Liu Guiren was unconvinced on the one hand, and dissatisfied with Cheng Jieyu for ruining the atmosphere, so he blurted out: "Cheng Nianhe, if you really feel that way, just pack up and go home! We people came into the palace to be in the harem. You are fighting for a place and seeking benefits for the family. What do you mean by growing other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige here?"
She squinted her eyes: "What? Last time I said that the Imperial Concubine would not let you go, and you were scared? It doesn't matter if you are scared. We are not afraid of her. No matter how strong she is, she can't just deal with us. , we are the emperor’s women.”
No one stopped her, and she became more and more excited as she spoke: "A mere dancer's daughter was ordered by the emperor to let Jiang Shangshu help her become a common wife, but she couldn't change her low bloodline. The imperial concubine is already her limit. Can’t we compete for a higher position?”
For example...the suspended back position.
She didn't say it, but those ambitious eyes gave her away.
"presumptuous!"
Magpie is worthy of being a god. He rolled up his sleeves, limped over, and slapped Liu Guiren's high-spirited face hard: "How dare you speak rudely to the imperial concubine? According to the palace rules, If you want to slap me thirty times, please Liu Guiren, please kneel down and be punished!"
Liu Xiaoxiao was already furious after being slapped. Do you want her to be slapped thirty more times?
"You are the only one..."
She was about to rise up when she saw the imperial concubine and a group of palace attendants walking out from behind the bushes. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I just happened to come here and heard Liu Guiren's voice." You scold me for being of low blood."
"Concubine...concubine did not mean to...was..."
"oh?"
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "If it's not intentional, then it's intentional, little Xiangzi!"
She winked at Xiao Xiangzi, who immediately rushed over, pressed Liu Guiren's shoulder with one hand, twisted her hand, and kicked her in the kneecap, causing her to kneel to the ground in pain.
"Magpie, palm mouth!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah..."
Loud slaps were heard together with Liu Guiren's muffled groans. The other people's scalps went numb after seeing it, and they all knelt on the ground with their necks hunched, praying that the Imperial Concubine would calm down after beating Liu Guiren, otherwise they would People are going to be in bad luck.
Originally, it was Liu Guiren's own mouth that caused the trouble, and it had nothing to do with them.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes fell on Cheng Nianhe. The man lowered his eyebrows and looked courteous, well-behaved and pleasant.
After thirty slaps, Magpie's hands and feet were numb. Fortunately, Xiao Xiangzi supported her and returned to Jiang Xinyue with great momentum, hiding his trembling right hand behind his back.
There were signs of loose teeth, and his face was burning with pain. Liu Guiren fell to the ground, feeling that his eyes were dim and he was about to faint.
The smell of blood was very strong in her mouth. She made a sound and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the imperial concubine had finished her anger and was about to leave, the priceless embroidered shoes with two huge east beads inlaid on the tips stopped in front of Cheng Jieyu.
"Snapped!"
"hiss--"
The imperial concubine actually slapped Cheng Jieyu herself.
Everyone present took a breath, wondering why she suddenly attacked the "kind and weak" Cheng Jieyu.
Cheng Nianhe herself was stunned, feeling angry and humiliated at the same time. She stiffened her neck and looked at Jiang Xinyue: "The Imperial Concubine, why did you beat my concubine?"
"Because you call me the Imperial Concubine."
It is similar to the line in the film and television drama "I will hit you if I hit you. Do I need to choose a day?"
Cheng Nianhe still wanted to say a few words, but stubborn tears were already welling up in his eyes: "You!"
"Guiren Liu..."
Jiang Xinyue pressed Cheng Jieyu's shoulder with her sharp armored hand. The armor was so sharp that it dug into her flesh, making her unable to kneel down due to the pain.
But the words were directed at Liu Xiaoxiao: "I would like to advise you, don't always be used as a weapon by someone with ulterior motives. The beating you received today is not unjust."
What's the meaning?
Everyone slowly thought about the meaning of this sentence. Is the Imperial Concubine saying... Cheng Jieyu set a trap for Liu Guiren?
There are not many smart girls in this year's show, but they all explained it so clearly, and they still seem to understand it. I'm really convinced!
Jiang Xinyue patted Cheng Jieyu hard several times: "I came from that way just now. Didn't Cheng Jieyu see me?"
That's it. If you say this, everyone will understand.
