"This morning, Eunuch Lin told me that His Highness would be back, so I have prepared lunch in advance," Caiyun said considerately.
"I have also prepared the princess's favorite tea and fruits!" Caixia was not to be outdone.
These days Jiang Ziyi has been eating very light and healthy food in Ji Chenan's palace, basically porridge and water, which made her feel very hungry. Now that she is back, she can finally eat what she likes.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" She couldn't wait any longer.
"yes!"
The three of them entered the Cangjiao Palace happily.
When Concubine Duan heard the news reported by Caidie, she almost bit her teeth to pieces. The Princess of Shenguo not only won the favor of His Majesty for saving him, but she even lived in His Majesty's palace for so many days, slept in the same bed with His Majesty, and was taken care of by His Majesty personally!
She was jealous, jealous to the point of madness, especially when she heard that the Princess of Shen State did not ask for any title or reward for saving the emperor this time, but only asked for a calligraphy from His Majesty.
Doesn't this make it seem even more vain that I was the one who asked for the title to be banned in the first place?
She admitted that she had underestimated her opponent at the beginning. Who would have thought that a hostage princess from an enemy country would have such an opportunity and make His Majesty look at her differently.
She had to think of a way, she had to think of a way, how could she kill her...
Her sharp nails scratched on the fine pearwood table, making a harsh scratching sound. The palace maids serving beside her dared not breathe. When Concubine Duan first entered the palace, her behavior was good, but the longer she stayed, the weirder her temper became. Especially since His Majesty had not stayed overnight in the palace in the past two years, Concubine Duan became more and more paranoid. She would make things difficult for any new woman who entered the palace. Sometimes, when she was unhappy, she would beat and scold the servants at will.
“Got it!”
Caiwei, you said that the character His Majesty gave her was His Majesty's name. Is this information reliable?
"Your Majesty, when Eunuch Lin delivered the calligraphy to Cangjiao Palace, the covering cloth was blown off by the wind. I saw it with my own eyes, and it is indeed Your Majesty's name."
Concubine Duan's eyes flashed, and she had an idea in her mind.
She called her maid Caichun and whispered her plan to her.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Ziyi burped with satisfaction.
It's great that she's still alive.
But she didn't forget her business. "Caiyun, did Eunuch Lin send a piece of calligraphy?"
"Yes, Your Highness, would you like to see it?"
"Show it up."
"yes."
After a while, Caiyun came back holding the calligraphy.
"Ji, Chen, An."
After imprinting the name in her mind, she said to Caiyun, "Put this calligraphy away."
"Yes." Caiyun also knew that this was the reward that His Highness had personally requested from His Majesty after rescuing the emperor. However, she didn't understand why His Highness only asked for a calligraphy piece.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask His Majesty for some other rewards? If you want a title, I'm sure His Majesty would be willing to give it to you."
Jiang Ziyi glanced at Caiyun with a look that said, "You are still too young."
"Those things, if obtained through asking for them, would be meaningless."
"Don't worry, your master never does anything to mistreat himself. Just wait."
Although she was confused about Her Highness's behavior for the time being, Caiyun Yunxia inexplicably believed that since Her Highness did this, there must be a reason for it.
After Jiang Ziyi finished her meal in the yard, she asked Caixia to find some writing brush and ink for her, then she returned to her room and closed the door.
As soon as she thought about it, the brocade bag appeared in her hand.
She took out the blank yellow talisman and wrote the three big words "Ji Chenan" neatly.
The moment the name was written, the words, which were clearly written with black ink, suddenly burst into a dazzling red light, and it took a while for it to return to calm.
At the moment, it is impossible to see what changes will occur, but since there has been such a strange change just now, it should prove that the talisman is effective.
She put the talisman back into the sachet. All she had to do now was wait. She was really looking forward to what would happen.
After dinner in the evening, with Caiyun and Xia serving her, she took a bath, avoiding the wounds. Looking at the whip marks on her body, she fell into deep thought. If the talisman was really effective, she would inevitably have to be honest with Ji Chenan. How would she explain the marks on her body then?
If he knew that she was not the real princess, he would have killed her before destroying the Shen Kingdom...
No, she needs to think carefully about how to explain it.
But when she returned to her room, without Ji Chenan lying beside her, she relaxed completely. Before she could think of any good idea, she fell asleep.
Someone on the other side is different.
Ji Chenan was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when a secret guard asked to see him outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the spies from the State of Shen have reported back."
"Just as Your Majesty guessed, Jiang Ziyi is not the most favored princess of the Shen Kingdom, but she is indeed the daughter of the Emperor of Shen Kingdom. She had been raised in the palace until you proposed to send a princess here, and she was then canonized as Princess Mingzhu."
"So what kind of life did she lead before?" Ji Chenan's tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.
The secret guard was unsure of His Majesty's purpose in asking this question, so he could only honestly answer the information he had gathered, "Your Majesty, it is said that he is living alone in a corner of the palace, and his life... is not very good..."
A gust of wind blew, the candlelight flickered, and in the flickering light, no expression could be seen on the emperor's face.
"Back off."
The secret guard received the order and hid himself.
