The fact that Concubine Sumire was punished by the imperial concubine to kneel quickly spread to the ears of other concubines. Most of the concubines sneered at it, thinking that Concubine Sumire had no brains.
No matter what happened to the third princess, even if Princess Xiangjia really did it on purpose, she should not let those servants make trouble and insist on seeking justice for the third princess.
Not to mention who is right and who is wrong, even if it is Princess Xiangjia's fault, she may not be able to get justice, but she will offend the imperial concubine.
Life in the palace is difficult, and if you offend a high-ranking concubine, even the biological mother of the princess will definitely have a difficult life.
After all, the princess is no better than the prince, and in the eyes of Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty, even the eldest prince Gu Ji is not as good as Gu Xuan. He dotes on Gu Xuan blatantly. If he has any brains, he will know which side he will stand on such a matter.
After Concubine De gave birth to the eldest prince Gu Ji, she no longer came to Weiyang Palace as frequently as before. She didn't go to the Royal Garden that day because the eldest prince caught the cold. It was getting better today, so she brought the eldest prince and Gu Rong over.
Speaking of Concubine Sumire, Concubine De curled her lips and said: "What a short-sighted thing, you dare to instigate the third princess to hate her own imperial sister... The third princess has really been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have such a stupid biological mother. ”
While they were talking, the three children were sitting on the carpet. Gu Xuan was playing with the two younger ones. The two younger ones had always been followers of the imperial sister, but now they were fighting for favor.
"It doesn't matter," Xie Ziyue looked at the children on the ground with a dull look, "She is the biological mother of the third princess. No matter what others do, she is raising the third princess. She has no control over how she will be raised in the future. But if she is allowed to bully her into Weiyang Palace, no one will tolerate her."
Ever since the incident in the Imperial Garden happened and Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty came to Weiyang Palace, Xie Ziyue had been talking about the events of that day in detail.
Although Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty did not do anything after learning about this, he selected some fresh gadgets from the treasury and sent them to Weiyang Palace.
Yesterday, the imperial concubine punished Jin Gui, but Han Xianzong rewarded the imperial concubine instead... The attitude of the representative is self-evident.
Suddenly, the trend in the palace changed. The concubines in the palace were eager to take sides, for fear that they would be late and the imperial concubine would think that she was on good terms with Concubine Sumire.
There were also some concubines who were busy putting aside their relationship with Concubine Jin. For a while, the only one who was willing to go to Concubine Jin's Luwei Palace was Rong Jieyu.
When Rong Jieyu went there, she heard Concubine Jin coughing. She had knelt for an hour under the scorching sun that day, and when she came back, Concubine Jin was hit by the heat.
I invited the imperial doctor to come and prescribe several pills, but I still haven't recovered yet. There was a slight relief, but because of the reward from Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty and the rumors in the palace, he became ill, and he became haggard several times in just a few days.
When Rong Jieyu saw Concubine Jin between the beds, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes.
When she confirmed that she had read it correctly, she covered her mouth and looked surprised: "Why is my sister so haggard?"
"Make my sister laugh." Facing Rong Jieyu who came to see her, the concubine Jin, who had always been a bit scheming, felt sad when thinking about her current situation, with some real emotions on her face:
"Now that my sister is in an embarrassing situation, why should I come to see my sister? If someone sees her, I don't know what to say."
She looked discouraged. On the way back from being forced to kneel down in Weiyang Palace that day, she felt that she had suffered a great shame and humiliation, otherwise she would not have come back and got seriously ill, and she is still not over it now.
Even while speaking, he covered his lips and coughed a few times.
Jin's concubine's maid was extremely clever. When she saw Rong Jieyu sitting on the couch outside the bed, she immediately served her tea.
"Sister, we are all His Majesty's concubines, so there is no need to be so outspoken." Rong Jieyu picked up the tea and took a sip:
"The Imperial Concubine went to a neighboring country with His Majesty and gave birth to His Majesty's first princess... This feeling is naturally beyond our comparison. Sister, you don't have to be too sad."
Hearing her mention the imperial concubine, Concubine Jin's expression suddenly dimmed.
Although she didn't speak, she was clearly unhappy.
Forget about concubines, the Gu Rou she gave birth to is also His Majesty's biological princess. Even if the rubbing dispelled the doubts, Gu Rou's wounds cannot be faked.
His Majesty didn't even take a look, as if he had completely ignored this daughter... Concubine Sumire couldn't eat when she thought about this these past two days. She was worried that Han Xianzong would dislike the third princess because of this.
If her father doesn't like her, won't her daughter just be like herself and have a difficult time in this palace?
"Speaking of which, my sister didn't expect what happened that day. After all, the imperial concubine has not had much dispute with the concubine. After so many years in the palace, she is just one person." Rong Jieyu seemed to mention it casually.
"Oh?" Concubine Jin raised her head and looked at Rong Jieyu, very curious about the person in her mouth.
"Of course it's the former queen..." When she said this, Rong Jieyu looked at the doors and windows, as if she was afraid that the doors and windows were not closed tightly.
Confirming that her words would not be heard, she patted her head again as if she had suddenly realized something. "Look at my brain. How could I have forgotten another person? The Queen's sister, the same is true for her previous promise."
Concubine Jin entered the palace late, so she naturally didn't know about her previous interpersonal relationships. Now that Rong Jieyu took the initiative to mention it, she continued to chat on this topic.
Then I learned a lot of information from Rong Jieyu, such as where Xuan promised to be and how close his relationship with the imperial concubine was.
At the end of the sentence, she pointedly said: "This Xuanyuan agrees that he and the Imperial Concubine are the ones who really have a deep hatred. So sister, don't worry. As long as you can get over this hurdle in your own heart, let others say what they want." After all, this is how it is in the palace, ups and downs, no one can say for sure."
"Yes, thank you sister." Jin Guibi's eyes burst out with a little light, and Rong Jieyu looked at her clearly.
There was a little smile in her eyes, and she still had a smile on her face when she went out to Luweidian.
The personal palace maid didn't know why. She wanted to ask before, but she was still in the palace.
Now that she finally came out, and seeing no one around, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the people in this palace are most attuned to the wind, why do you need to make a special trip at this time to say this?"
The personal maid really couldn't figure it out. If they were talking about something important, that would be it. She didn't even understand what the two of them said, it was like they were playing charades.
"What Concubine Jin needs most right now is someone who can stand with her wholeheartedly." Rong Jieyu smiled, her tone unpredictable.
Her personal maid had always understood her, and when she heard her say this, she suddenly understood.
"Your Majesty, you really...worked so hard for the Fourth Princess."
The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. Of course, her personal maid understands this truth.
