Shoukang Palace did not have a head aunt, but a head eunuch, whose surname was Qin.
Hearing this, Eunuch Qin's face was calm and he bowed, "Your Majesty, the Queen is not that stupid. If there is really a problem, how dare she send it to our Shoukang Palace. Besides, I went to ask around and found that the Queen sent it to almost all the harems, and the Emperor also had it. Most of it has been eaten and drunk, and she still gave it to Madam Jiang to brag about it. I wish I could have another bowl."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was extremely disdainful, "These harems are all superficial after all. It's just a bowl of sweet water, but they act as if they have received a great favor from her and the Queen."
Eunuch Qin knew that the Queen Mother had disliked Jiang Ying since the last time she met him.
Smartly following the Queen Mother's words, he said, "Yes."
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and stared at Eunuch Qin suspiciously, "Tell me, is there any hidden meaning behind the Queen's behavior?
"Also, you guys also had a bowl of that ice jelly. Tell me, what does it taste like? Is it really that delicious?"
For this question, the first one was fine, as Eunuch Qin has already formed a set of standard answers!
He can talk a lot at random.
But the second one... He paused, thinking, what can I do if I say it against my conscience!
"Your Highness, it's just so-so. It's not as delicious as what our kitchen makes. But it was given by the Queen. The ones behind are still working for the Queen, so we have no choice but to flatter them."
Eunuch Qin tried to keep his eyes closed as usual so that outsiders could not see his true thoughts. "As for why you said the Queen? I guess, maybe you want to show that you have a good personal relationship with the future Princess Mo, and secretly compete with Concubine Chen?"
The Queen Mother leaned on the imperial concubine couch, slowly changed into a comfortable position, her expression full of sarcasm, "Maybe. The Emperor's temperament has been gentle since he was young, and he can't say a word. He is not as good as King Yu who is eloquent and can make me happy. The late Emperor was also good at it. Why did he have to pass the throne to him instead of-"
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!" Eunuch Qin was shocked and interrupted.
The Queen Mother raised her lips with a sarcastic smile, "What are you afraid of? We are in my palace now, how can these words get out? If they do get out, it will be your fault, old man!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Eunuch Qin bowed hurriedly, his waist was almost bent at nine degrees! "It's all because of me who didn't take good care of Shoukang Palace, causing trouble for the queen."
The Queen Mother hesitated and said, "Forget it, get up."
What she meant was that the emperor himself was incompetent, and none of the concubines he favored were good enough.
Eunuch Qin had been too cautious, so he was too lazy to say anything.
He only ordered Eunuch Qin, "Go, pour this ice powder into the backyard and feed it to the dogs. I don't want to see anything related to Jiang!"
"She is always meddling in other people's business and seeking favor. It's obvious that she is not a person who is content with what she has to endure!
"If I were the emperor, I would give a girl like this a good scolding and throw her into a nunnery, as it would pollute the Buddhist holy land. Yet he still praises her like a nobody. I am so angry!"
Eunuch Qin lowered his head even more and dared not speak a word.
It is difficult to say whether the Queen Mother annoyed all the people the Emperor liked because she disliked him, or whether she was harsh on the Emperor because she hated Jiang Ying.
In short, when things don't go her way, she'll resort to all kinds of tricks.
Just as Eunuch Qin was about to step out of the door, the Queen Mother spoke again, "Qin Shouyi, tell my kitchen to make a few portions as rewards. I want to see that they have used all their good words to flatter the Queen, so what can they use to flatter me!"
Eunuch Qin, "..."
Why is this necessary?
But naturally, he didn't dare say it!
The Queen Mother was too idle to bother the concubines in the harem, and even the Emperor couldn't say anything, let alone him.
However, when Eunuch Qin brought the ice jelly made by Jiang Ying to the backyard, the honest little eunuch was about to feed it to the dog and was stopped by him.
"Wait a minute, the Queen Mother wants us to check carefully to see if there is any problem. You all go down, I will check it and handle it."
"Yes." The young eunuchs dared not disobey.
After a moment, Qin Shouyi didn't even bother to try it and just gulped down the drink.
The Queen Mother really didn't know how to enjoy such good things. As soon as he drank that bowl of soup, the place where his limbs were broken felt warm, as if they had just been unearthed.
Isn't this the time for a little brother?
At that time, his family was poor and suffered from drought, so he was sent here as a eunuch. He spent most of his life climbing up to the position of Chief Eunuch of Shoukang Palace. He was highly valued by the Empress Dowager and basically had everything he wanted. Unfortunately, the part he lacked could never be returned.
Qin Shouyi dreams of continuing this, so that the beautiful ladies he keeps in his house won't have to borrow those toys every time!
Gulp gulp——
Qin Shouyi drank several large bowls of it in one breath.
Finally, he disposed of the bowl and walked to the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
He ran into the eunuch he had just met.
The latter asked with concern, "Eunuch Qin, has the dog drunk? Do you need my help?"
Qin Shouyi glared at him fiercely upon hearing this. He was ready to scold him, but he burped unexpectedly.
The young eunuch snorted, "Eunuch Qin, why does this smell like..."
"Get lost!" Qin Shouyi's face flushed. "Go hide somewhere. I don't want to see you for three days! When you come back, how should you behave? Think about it yourself~"
He drank secretly the dog food that the Queen Mother had poured out, and when the Queen Mother found out, she didn't punish him. However, Qin Shouyi decided to let the little eunuch rot in his stomach for such a shameful thing!
Please don't say anything nonsense.
Jiang Ying, who was deeply distressed by Sun Bo's death, had no idea that a bowl of ice jelly she made casually could actually cause such a small disturbance.
As soon as she and Jiang Xiaochen arrived at Feiyu's house, Qi Ren rushed over to meet them.
"Sister Ying, you came back just in time. We caught the Phoenix Pearl!"
Finally there is some good news. Jiang Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, "Really? Where is it?"
