I was still worrying about how to escape from the palace, and now the opportunity has come.
A quarter of an hour later, Bitao brought the Ninth Princess and the Princess of Nanhai County into the palace.
Listening to the two people paying their respects to her, Jiang Ziyi raised her hand and instructed the palace servant beside her, "Please invite the Ninth Princess and the Princess of Nanhai County to take a seat."
The Ninth Princess and the Princess of Nanhai County looked at each other and slowly sat down nervously.
After all, the current Empress is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress has never had any interactions with them before. Now she suddenly invites them both together, which is bound to arouse suspicion.
The Ninth Princess tilted her head and glanced awkwardly at the Nanhai County Lady, only to find that the Nanhai County Lady was also tilting her head and looking at her nervously.
Jiang Ziyi noticed that the two people sitting there were feeling a little uncomfortable, so she said to the Nanhai County Master, "Ever since I entered the palace, I have been staying in Qifeng Palace and have not made any friends."
"When I first saw you with Xiaojiu, I remembered His Majesty telling me that the Princess of Nanhai County was well-informed and had explored all of Youcheng. So I was wondering if I could ask you to take me on a tour of the city."
Of course, this was definitely not what Rong Jingyuan said to her. She was just guessing. After all, the Han royal family was the only one who had this pearl, so of course they could let it go wherever they wanted and cherish it as the apple of their eye.
After hearing her words, the Nanhai County Lady stood up and bowed before speaking, "Thank you for the Queen's kindness, but my parents said that I am old now and can no longer wander around like before. So, I am afraid that I cannot fulfill the Queen's request."
"It doesn't matter. I will let His Majesty tell King Han tomorrow." Seeing that soft words didn't work, Jiang Ziyi could only use hard tactics. She brought up Rong Jingyuan, and she believed that the Princess of Nanhai would not dare to refuse directly.
Her plan just now required the help of King Han, so she had to start with the Princess of Nanhai.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Princess of Nanhai County no longer refused and had to nod in agreement.
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Ziyi was no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, he ordered the servants to serve some snacks and tea, and chatted with the Ninth Princess and the Nanhai County Lady.
After nearly an hour of effort, the Ninth Princess and the Lady of Nanhai County finally let down their guard a little. After all, they were still little girls. Seeing that Jiang Ziyi was not arrogant and was easy to talk to, the lively nature of the little girl was exposed during the conversation.
At the same time, Rong Jingyuan, who was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, noticed a secret guard asking to see him. He slowly put down his brush and asked, "Is there any movement from the Queen's side?"
The secret guard said respectfully, "Your Majesty, after the Empress left Qifeng Palace this morning, she ran into the Ninth Princess and the Princess of Nanhai County near the Imperial Gardens. She invited them to Qifeng Palace as guests."
"The spies in Qifeng Palace said that the Empress wanted to leave the palace to relax, so she wanted to ask the Princess of Nanhai to accompany her."
Rong Jingyuan was a little surprised: "That's it?"
The secret guard nodded: "That's it."
Rong Jingyuan didn't believe it. Jiang Ziyi just wanted someone to take her out of the palace for fun.
Maybe there is something bad going on behind this.
He coldly ordered the secret guard: "Continue to explore."
"yes!"
Rong Jingyuan didn't have a good impression of the Queen Mother, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of Jiang Ziyi either.
However, the Queen Mother was more cunning and very cautious in her daily actions. He had no way of catching the Queen Mother's attention. Coincidentally, the Jiang family sent Jiang Ziyi into the palace.
He knew that she liked him, so he took advantage of this love in order to use her feelings to disrupt the Queen Mother's position.
It was a well-known fact that the queen was jealous and did not get along with the women in the harem.
However, in the past two days, she has become more comfortable in dealing with herself. Rong Jingyuan's eyes darkened. I'm afraid he underestimated her before...
Rong Jingyuan expected that since Jiang Ziyi wanted to leave the palace, she would definitely come to him for help.
Sure enough, when he went to Qifeng Palace that night, Jiang Ziyi made this request.
He looked at her lying beside him in bed, fully dressed, and couldn't help but frown.
He tentatively took her in his arms and held her in his embrace.
He spoke in a low voice, "I have complied with the Queen's request, so shouldn't the Queen give me something as well?"
He felt the person in his arms shudder slightly, and a pair of soft little hands pressed against his chest.
"I'm having my period. If Your Majesty wants to turn over the cards tonight, why not go to Ming Fei? It seems Your Majesty hasn't visited Sister Ming Fei for a long time."
Rong Jingyuan pushed her away so hard that she even hit the inner wall.
The emperor's eyes seemed particularly cold in the dark night.
Jiang Ziyi knew that her words had hit him sorely.
Rong Jingyuan was cautious in his love for Ming Fei and never showed it deliberately.
On the contrary, he was very restrained, so that everyone would ignore Ming Fei.
Because in this deep palace, once you become a target because of the emperor's favor, the consequences will be quite tragic.
And what he had just said sounded like a threat to Rong Jingyuan.
Because of this, Rong Jingyuan lost all interest in acting. He snorted coldly and got out of bed. "Since the Queen has said so, I will go see Concubine Ming today."
He left without mercy, and Jiang Ziyi didn't bother to pay attention to him. He could go wherever he wanted and like whoever he wanted, it had nothing to do with her.
After Rong Jingyuan left, Bi Tao carefully stepped into the room, "Your Majesty, what's going on with His Majesty..."
Jiang Ziyi didn't explain much, just turned over and said, "Bitao, don't ask too much. I just bumped my back. Please rub it for me."
After hearing that Jiang Ziyi was injured, Bitao no longer cared about anything else.
He hurried forward and rubbed Jiang Ziyi's skin carefully until the dull pain subsided, then he left the bedroom.
Now that she has received Rong Jingyuan's oral order, Jiang Ziyi can enter and leave the palace.
Of course, when Rong Jingyuan agreed to her request, he also doubled the number of people monitoring her.
He didn't believe that Jiang Ziyi simply wanted to leave the palace for fun.
The next morning, Jiang Ziyi took off her luxurious palace dress and jewelry, wearing only a light blue skirt. She also asked Bitao to comb her hair into a snake hairpin, and she transformed into an ordinary lady from an official family.
Appeared in the Tianxiang Restaurant in Youcheng.
