It was still early, it got dark late in the summer, and there was still some time before the dinner party.
The emperor had finished eating and wiped his mouth. A palace maid handed him a cloth to clean his hands and wipe his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth with tea soaked in flower petals, he stood up under Wang Dequan's service: "Yueer, I will ask Tang Shiliang to pick you up later."
Jiang Xinyue nodded and watched Emperor Xuanwu leave.
Not long after the emperor left, Jiang Xinyue and her sister finished their meal and took a walk in the garden of Changchun Fairy Hall to eat, thinking that it would not be too late to get up after a nap and dress up.
However, Cheng Jieyu's personal maid over at Lanyue Pavilion knelt down at the door in tears and begged to see her: "The Imperial Concubine, please save Cheng Jieyu, Liu Guiren... Liu Guiren wants to destroy my family, Jieyu, the queen." Hands!"
what happened?
Jiang Xinyue remembered that she gave Liu Guiren a lesson in the morning. She should be bedridden now, how could she still bully others?
Besides, she is no match for Cheng Jieyu.
"Go and see what's going on?"
She was now the nominal leader of the harem, and there was a dispute among the concubines. It was unreasonable for her to pretend not to know about the quarrel in front of her.
Lanyue Pavilion——
"Cheng Nianhe, what are you pretending to be? I just pushed you lightly, are you so weak?"
Cheng Jieyu, who fell to the ground, hissed. When she sat up, her hands were bloody and looked very scary.
Because news spread that Liu Guiren was injured here, Zhang Mei and Zheng Cainu, who lived in a more remote location, came to visit.
"Ah! Cheng Jieyu, you...you are bleeding!"
On the ground was the medicine bowl that Liu Guiren had smashed when Cheng Jieyu and Liu Guiren were arguing just now. Cheng Jieyu was pushed to the ground by Liu Guiren, and her hands happened to be pressed on the broken porcelain pieces.
"Guiren Liu, if you are jealous that I can attract butterflies when I play the piano, just say so. Why are you so cruel and deliberately destroying my hands?"
Zhang Meiren exclaimed and shouted: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come quickly. What is this? There is a dinner party tonight. One of you broke a bone and the other's hands are so bloody. How can you attend?"
The concubines in the harem didn't dare to show up, and they were just waiting to see where Liu Guiyu and Cheng Jieyu could go before they could choose whether to continue to lie dormant and be transparent, or take a gamble for the future.
If these two people are ruined by internal fighting, where can we find two fools who are so brave and not afraid of death to confront the imperial concubine?
Cheng Jieyu always felt that she was extremely intelligent, but she didn't know that others were watching secretly and only regarded her as the one who stood out.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived——"
As Xiao Xiangzi's voice fell, everyone in the room huffed and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"No gift!"
Jiang Xinyue waved her hand casually: "You should find something for me to do every day, and I will be fine without you asking me."
No one dared to answer this.
The imperial concubine’s eyes were as bright as fire: “Tell me, who is wronged?”
The two sides are at odds with each other, and the one who flirts first is the cheap one.
Yan'er quickly stood up: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, when our little master went out for a walk this morning, he found that the soles of his shoes were greased by Cheng Jieyu, which caused our little master to fall and fracture his bones. The doctor said that he should at least lie down on the bed. Three months is still not guaranteed to fully recover. It was obviously Cheng Jieyu who harmed our little master, but she still pretended to come to give our little master medicine. The little master has a straight temper, and unlike her, she can't hide her thoughts. Then she got angry and threw the medicine bowl. The slave could clearly see that the mistress just pushed her lightly, and she fell to the ground by herself. She accidentally pressed on the broken pieces and hurt her hand. Imperial Concubine, you must do this for me. It’s our little master who makes the decision!”
"What are you talking about?"
Jiang Xinyue, who had followed Jiang Xinyue in intentionally, also walked out from behind her and went to help his wife: "Our queen is an adult and does not remember the faults of the villain. Thinking of the friendship in the past, she did not care about what happened before with Liu Guiren, and came here. Look at Liu Guiren, you couldn’t help but accuse my mother-in-law, and you even started beating people, and now you are the first to complain in front of the imperial concubine, you are going too far."
The two sides were quarreling over whether Cheng Jieyu had greased the soles of Liu Guiren's shoes.
Jiang Xinyue reached out and brushed the hair that was not messy on her forehead. Her eyes were not empty at all, and she looked confidently at Liu Guiren's injured back.
She is an imperial concubine. As long as she says a word, many people will help her do things.
How easy it is to rub oil on the soles of a little nobleman's shoes without anyone noticing!
Even without her having to say anything, Liu Guiren himself thought of Cheng Jieyu.
So why did she think that after insulting the imperial concubine's low bloodline, she could escape unscathed?
"Stop arguing. Is this a vegetable market? What do you look like?"
like what?
Shrew!
Jiang Xinyue was too lazy to decide the case for them, so she just gave them 50 points each, asked Liu Guiren to apologize to Cheng Jieyu, and reprimanded Cheng Jieyu for not deliberately irritating Liu Guiren, and finally asked the people below to investigate the person who greased the soles of Liu Guiren's shoes. Real murderer.
But no matter how we investigate, it will probably come back to Cheng Jieyu in the end. As for how she wants to take revenge, let them fight!
There was internal fighting between them, and they no longer had the energy to plot against her.
A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist!
"What did you say?"
"The young master met the imperial concubine today, and..."
Did you tease someone with your words?
Pei Zhongshu slapped his hand on the round mahogany table: "Is he crazy? I tried my best here to get Jiang Yankun, that old fox, to agree to the marriage between the two families. He ran... did he... die?"
Pei Zhishuo, who was standing outside the door, was blushing. He couldn't run in and tell his grandfather that it was because the imperial concubine was too beautiful and seductive, so he couldn't control it!
Grandfather hates lustful and stupid people the most. He shook his robe and took a deep breath: "Grandfather, my grandson knows his fault, but this is actually Jiang Xinyue's trick. In order to prevent Miss Jiang San from marrying me, she took the initiative to seduce me. , my grandson didn’t realize it for a moment, and thought that she liked me, and that’s why... she was like this."
The fact that he is a good wife has not become public knowledge because he knows who he can touch and who he cannot touch. If he wants to play with her, he always looks for those pretty widows in the capital.
What woman would make everyone aware of the fact that she lost her virginity after giving her rich wealth?
Even if there were a few who refused to give up, he would directly bring them into his house and keep them in his room. They were nominally maids, but in reality they were his warm bed and room.
Those widows had lived a miserable life for too long, and suddenly they were pampered. They felt like they could become Pei Zhishuo's concubines, and they couldn't make trouble any more.
Why would the Pei family want several widows to be the concubines of their eldest grandson?
It can only be said that they were dazzled by the wealth of the Pei family, and if they went out and said that they were forced at the beginning, who would believe it?
