Empress Xian raised her eyebrows slightly. Luo'er meant that Jiang had touched her brother's things?
"Do you like the things I gave you?"
Jiang put down the tea and said with a smile on her face, "What the Empress gave is naturally excellent."
But she disagreed in her heart. Empress Xian had risen in rank now, so naturally the rewards from the Emperor would not be small. She said that she had worked hard to take care of the general's mansion, but she was only rewarded with a piece of cloth, which was not even worth the two boxes of gifts sent by the general!
[Hehe, I'm afraid you're not saying what you mean. You might be complaining about your mother being stingy, saying she only gave you a piece of cloth after you were promoted to a higher rank!]
Yu Yiluo was complaining enthusiastically when Jiang looked in her direction.
"This must be the little princess. She looks like a fairy. No wonder the emperor dotes on her so much."
Concubine Xian stood up and hugged Yu Yiluo. "You didn't come to the full moon banquet last time. I forgot that you haven't seen Luo'er."
[Hahaha, why do I feel like my mother is in the Yin Yang Jiang family?]
The smile on Jiang's face froze. The old general had prepared such an expensive gift. If she came, she would have to prepare another gift. She didn't want that!
Instead of giving this gift to a baby, it’s better to keep it for my younger brothers.
"There's a boy on my mother's side who's about the same age as the little princess, and he's like a fairy boy, and he's also about to be born..."
Before he could finish his words, a mocking voice came from the door.
"Don't be like Luo'er."
Concubine Shu came in wearing a light-colored palace dress, with no headdress to adorn her black hair, and walked in with an unhappy expression.
He looked down at Jiang.
"You also know that Luo'er is a little princess. What is the status of your family and Luo'er's? Are you trying to find a husband for Luo'er? Don't you even consider whether you are qualified?"
[Wow, Concubine Shu is so cool, and her words are so good. Every word hits the nail on the head.]
Jiang was not aware of Concubine Shu's identity and was left speechless.
She did have this plan. The little princess was favored by the emperor. If she could get married, the Jiang family would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.
But she just wanted to test Concubine Xian's attitude, and she didn't expect that the man who suddenly appeared would be so domineering.
"Your servant greets Sister Shufei." Concubine Xian stood up and saluted with a smile.
Jiang was surprised when she heard this and also stood up and saluted.
This person was dressed simply and had no hair ornaments on her head. She thought she was just an ordinary concubine, but she didn't expect that her rank was higher than that of Concubine Xian.
Besides, judging from the fact that the two of them seemed to have a close relationship, wasn't it said that women in the harem were always scheming against each other? How could she not see that there was some kind of conflict between the two of them?
"Sister, get up quickly."
Concubine Shu helped Concubine Xian up, sat aside and motioned Taoye to bring the things over.
"This is Huimo, which just arrived from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I sent it here specially for my younger sister. I never thought anyone would dare to take advantage of Xiao Luo'er."
Concubine Xian accepted the Hui Mo with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Shufei."
She likes writing and painting, and this Hui ink is precious and touches her heart.
"You're welcome."
Concubine Shu took the tea handed to her by Hua Rui, took a sip and looked at Jiang who was still bowing, "You should get up too!"
This guy actually wants to snatch Xiao Luo'er, who he hasn't even tricked out yet.
"Thank you, Concubine Shu. I am the little princess's aunt. I have no other intentions. Please don't misunderstand, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian."
General Jin’s wife is actually this kind of person?
Concubine Shu was a little surprised. What aunt would start to matchmake people with her just by seeing her niece?
"Since you are Luo'er's aunt, you should know what to say and what not to say. However, I didn't see you at Luo'er's full moon banquet last time, and I thought General Jin hadn't married yet."
[Absolutely amazing, Concubine Shu is even more hermaphroditic than my mother.]
"I have something to say to Sister Shufei. Someone, escort Jiang out of the palace."
Out of consideration for General Jin's face, Concubine Shu did not make things too difficult for him. She asked in confusion after Jiang left.
"How could General Jin marry someone so shallow-minded? Look at what she just said. I think she is not a quiet person."
Empress Xian sighed, "She and my brother have been engaged since they were young. My mother's dying wish was for my brother to marry her."
I don’t know why Jiang suddenly set her sights on Luo’er.
"Which family is she from?" asked Concubine Shu.
"The daughter of the former Jingzhao Yin,"
"Is it Lord Jiang who was beheaded for corruption?" Concubine Shu had heard about this matter.
It was only because the amount of money this person embezzled was too large that many local officials were implicated.
"That's right," Concubine Xian nodded. "Back then, my father interceded for mercy, and the Emperor pardoned the other members of the Jiang family and allowed my brother to fulfill the engagement and marry Jiang."
But unexpectedly, Jiang was not only ungrateful, but also had her eyes on Luo'er. She was simply repaying kindness with enmity.
It was someone else's family affair, so Concubine Shu didn't say much. The two talked for a while before she got up and left.
As soon as she left, the emperor arrived.
"Luo'er, your father will take you to see your foolish fourth brother."
When she heard the Fourth Prince, Yu Yiluo quickly stretched out her little hand, signaling the emperor to hold her.
It was the first time that his daughter treated him so kindly. The emperor smiled and hugged her, even lifted her up before turning and leaving.
......
When the two arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence, Afeng was applying medicine to him.
"Your Highness, are you really going to look for Yang Xin?"
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "Go."
He wanted to see whether Yang Xin would attack him. If not, he could go and mock his third brother for being the one who didn't know people well.
[Tsk tsk, it seems this beating isn't enough, I have to go again.]
Hearing the voice, the Fourth Prince quickly turned his head and was frightened to see the Emperor holding Yu Yiluo.
"Your Highness, please don't move. It's difficult for me to apply the medicine."
"Father, why are you here?" The Fourth Prince hurriedly explained, worried he might be misunderstood. "I've thought this through carefully. Since Mother said Yang Xin's purpose in entering the palace is not simple, I'll take advantage of her tactic and risk my life to see what she intends to do."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "It seems this beating was quite effective. You'd better really figure it out, otherwise..."
The Fourth Prince smiled and continued, "Otherwise, I will demote this son to a commoner."
[Oh, the water in the brain has poured out? That's not right. According to the licking dog Fourth Prince's lack of brain circuit, it is impossible for him to understand it so quickly. I see, he must want to take this opportunity to slap the face of Concubine Shu and the tyrant!
Hahaha, I don't know who will be slapped in the face in the end, I'm really looking forward to it. 】
The Fourth Prince took advantage of the Emperor's inattention and made a face at Yu Yiluo.
Anyway, he believed in his own judgment. Even if Yang Xin had other purposes, he would definitely not kill him.
[You childish boy, you're still making faces to scare me. You'd better stay awake. Don't pour out the water and then fill it up again when you see Yang Xin. That would be hopeless.]
The Emperor glanced at the Fourth Prince and said, "Who are you trying to scare with your face? If you scare Luo'er, I'll beat you to death."
